What a pleasure to introduce one of the true pioneers of the Paleo/Keto/Ancestral health movement—Maria Emmerich! Maria opens up about her story, which started 25 years ago at age 16 (truly one of the first to follow a ketogenic diet), sharing how she cured some tremendous health problems she had as a teenager, how this led to her writing numerous best-selling books, and her most recent book, Secrets to a Healthy Metabolism. Maria currently conducts keto-inspired retreats around the world, and in this episode, we get into how you can utilize keto and fasting as a tool for lifestyle transformation and improving your health, as well as how active, energetic people with good metabolic health can still adapt these strategies to work best for their needs. We also talk about careers—Maria takes us back to the time when she and her husband both hit a bottom in their professional lives and illuminates how you can turn a corner, build a following, and become a leader in your field. Finally, Maria shares the inspiring story of how she realized a true dream of hers (adopting children) and the steps it took to realize that dream.  TIMESTAMPS: As a teenager, Maria discovered Keto and managed her health problems. [00:44] Twenty-six years ago, her vet asked questions about her dog’s diet and she realized that her personal physician, who was handling her several health problems, asked nothing about what she was feeding herself. Maria started on Keto. [03:22] There are many people who look healthy to us but actually have Type 2 Diabetes. Dr. Maffetone says 91% of the modern world is over-fat. [11:17] Food addiction is like alcohol or drug addiction except it is more difficult to give up because we still need food.  [14:01] Maria went to Ethiopia to adopt her children. [19:42] What are some of the problems with things in the dairy category? [24:21] There could be a problem with people consuming enough protein in general. [28:26] What are the risks of extreme restrictive diets? [29:55] Do you have to choose carbohydrates or fat? It is an individual decision. [31:46] How has fasting played a role in her journey? [36:29] There is a clinic in Hungary where they treat cancer with a ketogenic diet. [37:22] Sometimes fat can be a protective mechanism. [43:28] Maria does Keto retreats in Europe and all over the world.

I’m joined by the very interesting Dr. Luella Jonk—a psychotherapist and a functional medicine practitioner from Canada who is also a long-time listener of the show—to have a conversation all about relationships. You will hear us discuss John Gray’s essential relationship assignments as well as many other relationship insights—we talk about why we are obligated to take care of ourselves first before getting into relationships, why anxiety is so prevalent these days, the cost of trying to control other people and outcomes, the difference between mental health care in North America and in Western Europe, and much more!   TIMESTAMPS: We are obligated to take care of ourselves first. [01:56] It is important to understand how much your physical health affects your mental health. [07:12] Most of the couples seeking therapy, say the number one problem is communicating with each other. [15:23] Women’ roles have become more confused as they move from home responsibilities into the corporate world where they may be competing with their masculine energy. [17:20] Men’s role is to listen and not give advice when the woman needs to transition from the workplace to the home. [21:47] The modern male is charged with being all things to all people. John Gray says men should stay calm, cool, and collected. Choice of words, tone of voice, and body language play a big role. [24:54] You cannot control anyone or anything. There’s a lot of self-love that can be practiced. You are going to be all right. [37:28] Luella believes that North America is not doing as well with mental health care as perhaps western Europe.  [41:10] Why is anxiety so prevalent these days? [46:01] Lead with love rather than fear. [54:00]   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel (Now available in Cocoa Bean flavor!)

Did you know that belly fat is actually classified as a separate organ because of its ability to secrete inflammatory cytokine chemicals into your bloodstream? If you’re looking for easy and effective ways of improving your health and optimizing testosterone naturally, this breather show is the perfect episode for you: you’ll receive a quick overview of testosterone-boosting tips so you get baseline knowledge and awareness of the essential things that help you boost testosterone naturally, and most importantly, you will learn about the specific effects that having a “spare tire”—meaning an accumulation of visceral excess fat around your midsection—has on your health and your sex hormone status. And for my female listeners—don’t forget that this show is for you too! While the topic of boosting testosterone is usually most appealing to my male listeners, this is also a very important topic for women as well, since low testosterone in women shows up in symptoms like malaise, poor cognitive function, and low libido.   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel (Now Available in Cocoa Bean)   Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

Did you know that you can communicate everything you need to say (from good to bad to emotionally charged) with love and kindness? And if you can’t, this show will help you figure out what you can do to ensure you don’t cause harm to both your relationship and your testosterone levels, since we learned in last week’s episode that relationship status has a big effect on our hormones, specifically testosterone.

You will also learn about the four behaviors that the Gottman Institute has identified as highly accurate indicators (93% accuracy!) that a couple will get divorced, as well as the specific behaviors that the Gottman Institute has observed that are integral to sustaining a healthy, happy relationship.   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel   Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.
