Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

We have a prominent leader in women’s medicine, Dr. Jolene Brighten. Dr. Jolene studies the emerging science of Post-Birth Control Syndrome — examining the effects of hormonal birth control on female health. A fierce patient advocate and completely dedicated to uncovering the root cause of hormonal imbalances, Dr. Brighten empowers women worldwide to take control of their health and their hormones. She is an international speaker, clinical educator, medical advisor within the tech community, and considered a leading authority on women’s health. Dr. Brighten is also part of the MindBodyGreen Collective and a faculty member for the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine. Her work has been featured in the New York Post, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Huffington Post, Bustle, The Guardian, and ABC News.   In this episode, Dr. Brighten opens the show discussing the digestive health issues she had growing up. Eventually, Dr. Brighten realized how big of an impact nutrition has on our everyday health. Plus, Dr. Brighten wants women to know about the enormous problems hormonal birth control can have on women’s bodies and minds. It’s essential that women are educated on the process of birth control and what other options are available. Stay tuned as Dr. Brighten discusses essential fats and what you need to do when detoxifying your body from hormonal birth control. Dr Phillips CBD Oil, Fruit Chews, Topical Cream | https://www.drphillipscbd.com/ketokamp Free Keto Guide | http://www.ketokickstartguide.com [00:20] About Dr. Brighten Brighten had digestive issues as a child. After visiting multiple doctors, someone finally realized she had H. pylori. pylori lives in the digestive tract. After many years, they can cause ulcers in the lining of the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine. Brighten treated her H. pylori. The doctor told her she would need medicine for her entire life to subside the heartburn. Dr. Brighten started doing observations about how her diet was affecting her health. She asked her doctor how her diet could prevent the heartburn, and the doctor said it wouldn’t. Brighten started to study naturopathic medicine. She liked the fact that naturopathic medicine would continually ask why.   [09:20] Focusing on Birth Control in Beyond the Pill No one is taking a deep dive into birth control. There are so many hormone books; yet, over a quarter of all women are using birth control. Women shouldn’t have to go to medical school to learn about birth control. Women need to detox their liver and body after hormonal birth control. Most people can do this in two weeks. “You only write a book if you can’t not write that book.” -Dr. Brighten Brighten wrote a book that she wishes she had when she was in her reproductive years. She had no idea what would happen when she went on birth control. Dr. Brighten went through her twenties, thinking this is how it feels to get older. We need significant changes in women's medicine.   [13:50] Common Birth Control Issues Everyone knows that low libido can happen; they just don’t know that it can happen to them. Birth control can cause insulin issues in some women. If you are on birth control and enter menopause later in life, you are more likely to develop diabetes. Always view everything in the lens that is true for you. The same pill can affect two women very differently. One woman may feel no depression side effects while the other gets crippling depression. Depending on your family history, you could be more likely to develop certain diseases while on birth control. Birth control can cause inflammation, and inflammation can change our mood. Birth control can also cause nutrient deficiency.   [20:35] Symptoms After Stopping Birth Control Getting your period for the first time is a significant hormonal shift. Birth control will stop your brain from talking to your ovaries. When you come off birth control, it’s a big hormonal transition. Some women will lose their period for three to six months. If you’re not getting a period, you may not be getting enough hormones that will protect your entire body. Work with a doctor so you can navigate your hormonal system. Your body is always detoxifying hormones. If your body is deficient in nutrients, then you may be shutting down primary communication in the body. We need to support the liver. Some women may get liver tumors on birth control. Get great sleep! You need deep sleep to recover. Think about the things that you should stop taking in rather than what you should be taking more of. Also, consider the relationships that you have in your life. Do you have a coworker that doesn’t make you happy? Pause from hanging out with them. You don’t have to ditch people forever, but you need to consider your own energy while healing.   [35:40] Saturated Fats and Cholesterol For Hormonal Health When it comes to cholesterol and saturated fats, they are healthy components of a diet. Where are you getting your fat-soluble nutrients from? They will come from eating fats. We need what mother nature made rather than what chemists made. Saturated fats are part of our cellular makeup. Fat-free is the worst thing that you can do to your hormones. There is no bad food – it’s only what works for you and what doesn’t work for you. If you’re having bad cramps, eat more omega-3s. For vegans and vegetarians – you will not have natural estrogen on hormonal birth control. Try eating algae.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Jolene Brighten’s Website Follow Dr. Jolene Brighten Instagram YouTube Pinterest Facebook Get Dr. Brighten’s Free E-Book: Post-Birth Control Syndrome Detox Diet Quick Start Guide Get Beyond The Pill Join theKeto Kamp Academy  Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube  .

In this episode of The Keto Kamp Podcast, we speak with the founder of PaleoFX, Keith Norris.  Here is what we discuss: The PaleoFX Conference Why our cells LOVE to practice fasting How to use free tools for healing the body Getting back to the fundamentals Ancestral health And more ➡️PaleoFX. I’ll be speaking at PaleoFX Austin, TX April 2020 http://bit.ly/2srqdQt Free Fasting Webinar: http://www.benazadiwebinar.com Keto Kamp Kits: http://www.ketokampkit.com About Keith Norris: Keith is one of those few lucky souls who has been able to completely transition out of corporate America and dive headlong into his passion for bettering lives by teaching the art and science of physical culture.  He not only “walks the walk” on a day-to-day basis, but his economic well-being hinges on his precepts of “proper exercise, stellar diet and lifestyle, and intelligent “hacks” and supplementation” forming the bedrock foundation for a long, healthy and prosperous life. Keith, together with partner Mark Alexander, have molded Austin-based Efficient Exercise into one of the most highly regarded fitness venues in the nation.  Keith’s mix of intelligent and highly effective exercise programming, coupled with Mark’s business savvy and proprietary equipment genius have made Efficient Exercise the preeminent wellness authority. The very essence of Paleo f(x)™ is rooted in the idea of putting theory to practice; an idea that Keith is heavily invested in, having been blogging about these issues since early 2007.  And his “30-thousand-foot view” for the Paleo f(x)™ enterprise serves as the movement’s guiding, north star. And with a belief that intelligent “hacks” can help bridge the gap between our elegant evolutionary programming and sub-par environmental surroundings, Keith is continually ferreting out and backing the most promising of technological enhancements.  As a founding partner of ID Life, Keith is helping to usher-in 21st century, optimal supplement dosing. It might be said that Keith lives by the credo written by the Greek poet and soldier, Archilochus, over 2,600 years ago – “We do not rise to the level of our expectations.  We fall to the level of our training”.  And his vision for Paleo f(x)™ is that of a battle-tested warrior, preserving the right of everyone to fully, actively and enthusiastically engage in the human experience. ➡️PaleoFX.

On today's show, we have a naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, and functional medicine practitioner specializing in integrative urology, men’s health, and nutrigenomics, Dr. Ralph Esposito. His precise and personalized style utilizes a systems biology and precision medicine approach to medicine.   In addition to advising as a peer reviewer for medical journals, he has authored several medical textbook chapters. He has designed education modules for health professionals specifically on urological conditions, male and female hormone dysfunction, hypogonadism, exercise, men’s health, and sexual dysfunction.   Dr. Esposito has trained under Dr. Peter D’Adamo, the originator of Opus23®, at the Center of Excellence in Generative Medicine at the University of Bridgeport, and NYU Integrative and Functional Urology Center. He holds a position as an adjunct professor at New York University, where he lectures on integrative medicine. Currently, Dr. Esposito serves as a medical consultant and research analyst.   In this episode, Dr. Esposito opens the show by diving deep into his background. Then, he reveals what may be causing low testosterone levels in men and common ways to test for the issues. Dr. Esposito describes ways in which men can raise their testosterone levels, including exercise, sleep, and nutrition. Stay tuned as Dr. Esposito names the best exercises to boost testosterone – plus, he gives his take on time restrictive eating and ways to tell if you are overdoing it. . Free Fasting Webinar: http://www.benazadiwebinar.com . Keto Kamp Kits: http://www.ketokampkit.com . [00:20] About Dr. Ralph Esposito Esposito watched as his father became medically disabled and heavily medicated. The threat of a family history of chronic disease was a major contributing factor to why he chose to pursue naturopathic medicine when conventional medicine alone was not working. Ralph credits Dr. Geo Espinosa for his mentorship and for allowing him to work with him at the NYU integrative and functional urology center for almost seven years. Esposito continued his work with Dr. Espinosa in research, writing, and education modules. This experience led him to his current position as a medical consultant and research analyst for medical practice in New York.   [03:45] The Culprits of Low Testosterone Levels in Men Is the brain sending a message to the testes to make testosterone? If they get the message, are they making the testosterone? What is the body doing with the testosterone afterward? Once you figure out these answers, then you can figure out the underlying cause. Sleep deprivation and chronic stressors can contribute to low testosterone. A lot of athletes can have issues in the testes and the brain after years of trauma. It’s not so black and white what could be causing the issue.   [07:40] Testing Male Hormones Ralph will test for various male hormones – including the thyroid hormone. Without the thyroid hormone, you will not be able to produce testosterone. Physicians are misreading labs because they do not understand statistics. How are your hormone levels changing over time? Heavy metals can impair libido. Dr. Ralph’s patients will come to them with heavy metals and complaints about a lack of libido.   [12:00] Using Drugs to Test Testosterone Drugs are the last option. Clomiphene is an estrogen modulator – it blocks the estrogen receptors in the brain. If their testosterone does not go up, there is an issue in the testes.   [15:30] High Estrogen and Low Testosterone    High estrogen and low testosterone are signs of metabolic dysfunction. Environmental toxins can cause this. In the past week, Dr. Ralph has read four articles about how the environment is disrupting our health. The most common reason for high estrogen is high insulin levels.   [17:40] Boosting Testosterone You have to start with the foundations: Exercise Sleep Nutrition Putting ice on your testes will not increase the levels. You could potentially damage them. If you’re not sleeping seven hours, then you are not releasing the proper hormones. Plus, you won’t be able to recover. Exercise is a stressor. Sleep is essential when you are constantly exercising. A high carb diet is a sure proof way to damage your testosterone levels. Insulin is a proinflammatory. Exercise will help your body efficiently produce testosterone. There is data on using DHEA as a supplement to increase testosterone. Ralph doesn’t treat himself – always take the guidance of a practitioner.   [23:35] Exercising to Boost Testosterone Ralph does the Big Five: Deadlift Squat Pullup Bench press Rows Work out your back, legs, and chest. Duration and frequency will release cortisol. Marathon runners are in a catabolic state. They are breaking down a lot more than they are building up. Sprinting is also a great exercise.   [27:00] The Benefits of Time-Restrictive Eating Time-restrictive feeding is only eating within certain windows. Intermittent fasting is going multiple days without food. Gut rest is the most significant benefit to time-restrictive eating. Bacteria will thrive in a fasted state. The gut rest will allow you to heal. The cell turnover rate is very fast in the gut. Time-restrictive eating will also make you more sensitive to insulin. Brain function will also improve with time-restrictive eating.   [30:00] Are You Fasting Too Much? You are fasting too much if your thyroid hormone is suppressed. Low motivation to exercise and low libido are issues. You could be stressing your system. Cold fingers and feet, weak hair, thinning eyebrow hair are other symptoms. Poor muscle recovery is another issue with fasting too much.   [32:00] The Difference Between Cutting Calories and Time Restrictive Eating Caloric restriction is the idea behind most diets. Fasting has a completely different impact. Food is sending a message to the body. You can change the messaging in your body by exercising and meditation. Food is influential to our biology. Calories matter, but they aren’t as important.   [36:00] About Dr. Ralph’s Lifestyle Ralph exercises in the afternoon and eats after he works out. If Dr. Ralph works out in the morning, he eats after the workout and starts his unfed time. Ralph is doing a CrossFit type of training and traditional weight training. Ralph moves every single day – he never sits on the couch for an entire day.   [41:35] What To Do If You Plateaued Diversify your diet. There’s a lot to learn about our microbiome. Your diet within 48 hours can diversify your biome and the response in your body. Don’t eat the same stuff all the time. Your lifestyle should also switch. There’s never a time you should diversify your sleep. However, there are times that you should utilize sleep restriction therapy. Do not wake up later to get extra hours of sleep – it will throw your rhythm off. “If we are unable to adapt, then we will be unable to survive.” -Dr. Ralph   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Follow Dr. Ralph Instagram Twitter Listen to 009: Enhancing Male Fertility and Libido with Dr. Ralph Esposito, Part 1 Listen to Hormone Health For Sex, Fertility, Health And Performance: A Chat With Dr. Ralph Esposito — Muscle Maven Radio Episode #3 Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube  . // F O L L O W  B E N ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so ▸ linkedin | http://bit.ly/2PNRh40 ▸ email | ben@ketokamp.com .

Today, I am lucky to have here with me, a best-selling author, top 10 app developer, musician, radio show host, entrepreneur, and health crusader, Abel James. Abel’s work has been featured in WIRED Magazine, Paleo Living, and hundreds of media outlets in business, technology, psychology, and health.   Within its first year, Abel’s Fat-Burning Man Show rose to the #1 most popular health podcast in the United States and the United Kingdom and went on to top the charts in more than 7 countries across the world for the past 2 years.   A former strategic advisor to the food and beverage industry, Abel now acts as a consumer advocate who exposes the truth behind deceptive marketing practices, misleading corporate propaganda, and powerful special interests that have accelerated the worldwide obesity epidemic and health crisis.   Abel harnesses the techniques he developed for the Wild Diet to achieve extremely compelling results in fat loss and health for his clients and the community. Abel’s quick-start guide, Intro to Paleo and The Musical Brain are distinguished as #1 Amazon bestsellers in health and psychology. The Musical Brain  explores evolutionary biology and how musical training and experience affects the brain.   Abel and his team developed Caveman Feast, the #1 App in Food and Drink across the world and #6 App overall in the Apple Store in 2013. Abel has advised Fortune 500 and federal government clients, including Microsoft, State Street Global Advisors, Lockheed Martin, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, and the Library of Congress.   In this episode, Abel James starts by explaining the inspiration behind his brand, The Fat Burning Man. Abel speaks about the fundamentals – including why isolating exercises are not making you stronger. Plus, Abel dives deep into his book, The Wild Diet, and explains the best time to eat carbs and why you should try to exercise in a fasted state. Stay tuned as Abel reveals the terrifying carbon monoxide scare his family endured, and the many ways they recovered from the poisoning.   [00:20] About The Fat Burning Man Abel was raised in alternative health. After getting health insurance, Abel found a traditional doctor. After taking his advice, he gained thirty pounds and suffered from high blood pressure. Abel started researching physiology and bodybuilding. He began eating loads of fats and vegetables. No longer was Abel afraid of salt. After taking it seriously for 30 days, he had a different body composition. It made him mad because he had been trying so hard to eat “right.” People need to be educated about the fundamentals, which is why Abel started The Fat Burning Man. Abel did almost precisely the opposite of what his medical doctor was telling him to do.   [09:30] The Fundamentals    If you want to be strong, you have to be balanced and focus on mobility. Do not isolate your biceps to get big biceps. For 99.9% of people, it will make no difference to do isolated exercises. Strength training your big muscles group will work. Kettlebells, free weights, and using the correct form will assist with your fitness. It doesn’t need to get much more complicated than that. Eat clean plant and animal foods. Ditch white sugars – it’s incredibly addictive and destroys our health. Find diversity and balance in your diet. Make sure you’re getting enough protein and fiber. Do not get vegetables that are sprayed with chemicals. Practice common sense with technology. Our cell phones can cause cancer and tumors. Yet, people still keep their phones in their pockets.   [16:30] About The Wild Diet Abel wanted something that would be offline and lead people to the truth. Which is why he wrote this book back in 2015. There is not a lot of things that are truly out there. Many authors and podcasters like to make things overly complicated – it works! You can sell a lot of stuff that way. Abel had been listening to the wrong people; it hurt him. The Wild Diet is written simply and should be easy to read.   [20:15] When Should You Eat Carbs?   It depends on what you are doing with your life. Eating carbs in the morning may drive you crazy. You will have cravings and be hungry for the rest of the day. If you are going out and running a marathon, you could easily eat carbs in the morning. Abel drinks tea, coffee, heavy cream, and coconut oil. He will also drink bone broth and powdered greens. Dinner will be his first and only meal of the day. Eat fibers, proteins, and fats before you hit the carbs. Slam down an orange juice and see how you feel in an hour. It takes a few weeks for your body to realize that you don’t even need orange juice in the morning.   [23:50] Exercising in a Fasted State   Abel runs in a fasted state. When you run out of sugar in your muscles, you are going to bonk out. Learn how to manage that, and your body will adapt. Most people are carrying too much extra weight – so exercising while fasted will not be harmful. Fasted cardio will help you get the weight off pretty fast. However, it can be brutal at first. Depending on your goals, it can be helpful to eat before working out. When you are training fasted, you are getting the advantage of not needing to fuel.   [29:55] What Does “Natural Flavor” Mean? Natural flavors might mean the extractives of wood products or anal beaver glands. Natural flavors are usually better than artificial flavors. Flavor your food with actual fruit or honey instead of artificial things. Do not be generous with your trust at the store. What is actually in the food you are buying?   [33:00] Weight Loss Tips Focus on the foods that are your trigger foods. Try and go without this food for a few days and then for a few weeks. Go without that food until you don’t have those cravings anymore. It could be pizza, cookies, and cakes. Sometimes it’s not about the food that you are eating, but about the state of mind you are in while you are eating. If your attention isn’t with your food, then it’s harder to realize when you’re hungry. It doesn’t take long to eat, so sit down and practice gratitude.   [38:35] Abel’s Gas Leak Scare Carbon monoxide leaked in Abel’s rental while they slept. Abel, his wife, and their dog were overcome with apathy. The effects of the gas make you dumber and less likely to make the right decisions. Abel and his wife were close to that state. The gas is odorless, so it’s almost difficult to detect. They almost died, and that is not an exaggeration. Abel was not able to work for months. Carbon monoxide detectors could easily prevent something like this happening.   [44:45] Recovering From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Abel did long-term fasts for his body to heal. Do not push your body too hard too soon. You want to be active in your recovery. However, be honest with yourself and be conservative. Vitamins in an IV drip brought Abel back to life – it’s an effective way to get nutrients into your blood stream. During the drips, their inflammation would immediately come down. Eating clean and not drinking alcohol was also extremely helpful. Drinking will set you back.   [51:45] About Designer Babies Still Get Scabies Abel trolls the trolls in this book and gets into health, spirit, and life. The book has been a best seller in many countries. The paperback version comes with a free copy of the audiobook.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Abel’s Website Follow Abel James Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube Get The Wild Diet: Go Beyond Paleo to Burn Fat, Beat Cravings, and Drop 20 Pounds in 40 days Get Designer Babies Still Get Scabies Join the Keto Kamp Academy  Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube  // F O L L O W B E N ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so ▸ linkedin | http://bit.ly/2PNRh40 ▸ email | ben@ketokamp.com .

Today, I am lucky to have here with me, the CEO and co-founder of the Fasting Method Program, clinical educator, and researcher, Megan Ramos. Megan’s major role in the The Fasting Method is to facilitate the patient’s education on the Fasting Method dietary principles and counsel them on their fasting regimens. Megan, along with her colleague Dr. Jason Fung, believe that both what you eat and when you eat matter. The Fasting Method utilizes therapeutic fasting and time restricted eating protocols with their patients to help them reverse their type 2 diabetes and achieve sustainable weight-loss. They encourage their patients to eat real foods and adopt a low-carb lifestyle in addition to the fasting. Megan was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) at age 12, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) at age 14, and type 2 diabetes (DMII) at age 27. She reversed these metabolic conditions and achieve an 86-pound weight loss by incorporating intermittent fasting with a low carb diet, and is now passionate about helping others do the same. Megan lives in Toronto, Canada. She is a director of the nonprofit organization Public Health Collaboration Canada (PHC Canada), works on the editorial board of the Journal of Insulin Resistance and Team Diet Doctor. In this episode, Megan Ramos opens the show explaining her various health problems growing up. She started working with Dr. Jason Fung at the age of fifteen, and together, they realized the importance of fasting. Plus, Megan explains how essential it is to be proactive when it comes to your health. Not many people understand that we need to get to the root cause of a disease rather than treating the symptoms. Stay tuned as Megan gives fasting advice, and she reveals the most surprising benefits the practice can offer. 🎓Want to become a keto and fasting pro? Join the BRAND NEW Keto Kamp Academy today: http://www.ketokampacademy.com (FREE 7 DAY TRIAL) [05:00] About Megan Ramos Megan comes from a horrendous gene pool. She was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. She was skinny, but all of her weight was fat. Her doctor couldn’t tell why she had diseases of obesity. Megan didn’t stress about it. “Your genes aren’t your destiny.” –Megan Ramos Megan started working with Dr. Jason Fung at age 15. Her research patients were trying to live life right; however, they were just gaining more weight. Megan also was gaining weight despite hiring a nutritionist and personal trainer. When Dr. Fung would introduce fasting to his patients, they would feel better. It was the missing piece of the puzzle. Megan started fasting, and it finally all made sense.   [13:10] Symptoms for Kidney Dysfunction Patients who are leaking a lot of protein in their urine, yet they don’t have high blood pressure are most likely suffering from kidney dysfunction. Protein in the urine usually means something diabetic is going on. “In North America, you have insulin resistance until proven otherwise.” –Megan Ramos Even though your labs say normal, a conventional doctor will not be able to read the labs as an expert would.   [17:30] Being Proactive Rather Than Reactive Megan wants to help patients be proactive. The healthcare system is broken beyond repair. When Megan and Jason first started talking about fasting, people thought they were lunatics. However, the benefits of fasting have been well known for hundreds of years. Fasting makes a significant change in the lives of their patients.   [23:40] Fasting the Wrong Way Fasting the wrong way will result in electrolyte imbalance. Most people are petrified of salt. However, salt is critical to our survival and wellbeing. Insulin levels will be high when you first start fasting. Eventually, the insulin levels will tank. It could cause diarrhea if not rehydrating correctly. Megan does consultations online. Most of the time, the person’s issues are resolved by salt or magnesium. Pickle juice and bone broth will also assist with hydration. Sometimes people carb up before a fast. It will wreak havoc on your body and mind. Plus, you won’t get autophagy as efficiently. Do a fast through your ketogenic diet. Fasting shouldn’t make you feel bad; it should make you feel more energetic.   [31:40] The Most Surprising Benefit of Fasting Megan loves when older women get their libido back. The most surprising thing is anti-aging in women. Women who have gone grey are now getting their hair color again. A 76-year-old woman got her regular menstrual period back for two years.   [33:50] Should Women Practice Fasting Differently Than Men? Women need to be more diligent with sodium. Salt is critical in middle-aged women. Not necessarily for feeling good, but for making sure that weight loss is happening at an efficient rate. Women need to fast more than men to get the same results. A 24 hour fast will give women tremendous results. They will lose water weight and body fat. Women are more compliant doing a three day fast. Once they wake up on the second day, there should be no hunger. Staying in a fast can be more manageable for women.   [37:55] Advice for Someone Who is Getting Stuck at a Certain Weight Make sure there are no problem foods or snacking in the diet. People on keto will eat a lot of nuts and cheese outside of eating windows. What do your eating days look like? Add fat and protein to your meals to make them more satiating. That alone can break a person through a plateau.   [42:55] Megan’s Favorite Benefit of Fasting Megan gets an insane amount of energy while fasting. She gets to train doctors and speak at medical conferences. After a trip, Megan does a fat fast. It gives her an energy reboot and mental clarity.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out The Fasting Method Follow Megan Ramos Twitter Instagram Watch Megan Ramos at Ketofest 2017 Read Controlling Hunger Read The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube  Get a Complimentary $39 Bottle of Olive Oil   // F O L L O W  B E N A Z A D I ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so ▸ linkedin | http://bit.ly/2PNRh40 ▸ email | ben@ketokamp.com   Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.
