Dr. Mercola really needs no introduction. He is really the OG in the alternative health and wellness space and has contributed greatly to this body of knowledge.  He maintains the most popular health website on the interweb, Mercola.com, which is a treasure trove of information on a wide variety of topics.  In this interview we discuss blood flow restriction training (BFR) and EMF, diving into many of the details here at a granular level. I am sure you will all find much benefit in this episode! Dr. Mercola has created two landing pages for the topics of this interview:   BFR.mercola.com- where you can sign up for the soon to be released comprehensive summary of the benefits of this way of training he has written.    EMF.mercola.com- All of the info about his book, EMF*D, which will be released in February.

Mikhaila Peterson, a 27 year old mother of one, runs the blog “Don’t Eat That”. She was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at age 7, severe depression at age 10 and idiopathic hypersomnia at age 21. She had multiple joints replaced at age 17. After years of research trying to solve her autoimmune problems, she went paleo/low carb and eventually ended up on the beef, salt and water diet which resolved her conditions. She’s now off of all medications and in complete remission. She’s raising awareness about the options that are still out there when people can’t seem to get their autoimmune symptoms completely under control.   Time stamps: 8:05  Mikhaila Peterson's carnivore diet story. 31:56 Celiac genes. 33:59 Timeframe with which things got better. 35:35 Symptom length. 45:55 Microbiome and the Carnivore Diet.  49:53 Is it possible to eat a carnivore diet long term?  52:39 Mikhaila's  carnivore journey (how she feels/what she eats). 1:00:58 Carnivore diet criticisms from Kevin Bass and others. 1:05:17How much fat is Mikhaila eating? 1:06:05 Weight Loss/maintenance on the carnivore diet. 1:08:02 Fasting. 1:13:23 Gaining weight on a carnivore diet. 1:14:40 Broken satiety signaling pathways (leptin resistance). 1:16:16 Mikhaila 's bloodwork. 1:19:54 Menstrual cycles. 1:24:49 Jordan Peterson's diet.  1:28:28 Carnivore diet potential /value of exercise.  1:31:43 How do we move the carnivore diet forward? 1:35:05 Where to find Mikhaila  1:36:23 The most radical thing Mikhaila did in the last month          youtube: youtube.com/mikhailapeterson1 facebook: www.facebook.com/thecarnivorediet instagram: mikhailapeterson twitter: MikhailaAleksis website: mikhailapeterson.com   Ancestral Supplements https://ancestralsupplements.com/   Code SALADINOMD on the shopify site to receive 10% off.   Use the code CARNIVOREMD at www.whiteoakpastures.com all month for 10% off your order!   JOOVV: www.joovv.com/paul

If you are interested in lipids, you’ve probably heard of Dave Feldman and his work. If not,  you’ve got some homework to do, and I think you’ll be amazed at what you find. Dave’s work can found at cholesterolcode.com where he details his multiple, meticulous self-experimental projects. Prior to cholesterol adventures Dave was a senior software scientist and an engineer. He brings this “out of the box” thinking to the world of medicine and we are all better off for it.  He began a low-carb, high-fat diet in April 2015 and has since learned everything he could about it with special emphasis on cholesterol. He saw his own lipid numbers spike substantially after going on the diet and spotted a pattern in the lipid system that’s very similar to distributed objects in networks. He’s since learned quite a bit on the subject both through research and experimentation which has revealed some very powerful data. Where he induced a 73 point drop in my LDL-C and a 1115 point drop in my LDL-P.  Siobhan (she'-VAUN) Huggins is an independent researcher focused on lipidology, the immune system, and metabolic diseases. She spends most of her time at cholesterolcode.com where she works alongside Dave Feldman. She has been keto since August of 2016, and on a predominantly carnivorous diet as of October 2017. She has lost 80 lbs, reversed hypertension, and found a passion for research along the way. 5:47 Dave Feldman's blood testing at low carb San Diego 7:17 The Feldman Protocol 9:39 Does it matter whether subjects are a ketogenic vs. carbohydrate based metabolism 11:19 What labs were administered? 13:03 Shevawn(Siobhan??) on the inflammatory markers. 14:09 What's the sense of the half-life of HSCRP? 18:09 Ferritin 22:34 Other Markers being tested? 25:29 Glucagon 27:17 is it expected from these labs to find free fatty acids in the blood ? 29:23 What do you use as a cutoff for high fasting insulin? 30:00: C-Peptide 32:55 Hemaglobin A1C 34:37 Test frequency/pitfalls of looking at tests in isolation. 38:09 The Lipid Panel ,(triglycerides) 42:42 How are Triglycerides different from free fatty acids? 45:22 Measuring Triglycerides.
