Dr Steven Gundry | How to LOSE WEIGHT ON THE KETO DIET for Good by UNLOCKING THE KETO CODE KKP: 386

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Steven Gundry. He is a cum laude graduate of Yale University with special honors in Human Biological and Social Evolution. After graduating Alpha Omega Alpha from the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine, Dr. Steven Gundry completed residencies in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at the University of Michigan and served as a Clinical Associate at the National Institutes of Health for years. There, he invented devices that reverse the cell death seen in acute heart attacks; variations of these devices subsequently became the Gundry™ Retrograde Cardioplegia Cannula. It has become the world's most widely used device of its kind to protect the heart from damage during open-heart surgery. In 2002, Dr. Gundry met someone who would change the trajectory of his career… and life. He crossed paths with an "inoperable" patient named “Big Ed”. Using a combination of dietary changes and nutraceutical supplements — Big Ed lost weight and cleared most of his arterial blockages. An obese, chronic "diet" failure himself, Dr. Gundry adapted his Yale University thesis to design a diet for himself based on evolutionary genetic coding. On this diet, he lost weight — to the tune of 70 pounds — and reversed his own ailments, such as migraines, pre-diabetic status, and arthritis. He stopped eating sugar, grains, peanuts and cashews, nightshades and other lectin-heavy foods. Having experienced weight loss and the results of eating a lectin-free and gluten-free diet himself, and inspired by growing research involving the NIH’s Human Microbiome Project, his commitment to better health and longevity through a better diet solidified. His work creating nutraceutical products and supplements advanced. He is now the leading expert on the lectin-free lifestyle as the key to reversing disease and healing a leaky gut. Dr. Steven Gundry freely shares his research on how to maintain a healthy microbiome and live a long, vital life via his best-selling books, YouTube channel, Gundry MD blogs, and weekly health podcast, The Dr. Gundry Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Gundry defines ketosis and explains the direct benefit that ketones have on the brain. Plus, Dr. Gundry dives deep into the mitochondria and why they have to uncouple to survive. You’ll find out what the “mito club” is and why calorie restriction is a non-starter, and it simply does not work. Tune in as we chat all about MCT oil, melatonin, and the benefits of sheep and goat dairy.

[00:50] Dr. Gundry Gives His Definition of Ketosis Generating ketone bodies is done by free fatty acids entering the liver from circulation. The liver can convert free fatty acids into ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are short-chain fats that are water-soluble. Ketones have a distinct benefit in getting to the brain, which free fatty acids can't because they're too big to get through the blood-brain barrier. Ketosis should happen every night after about eight hours of not eating if you are metabolically flexible. 50% of ordinary people are not metabolically flexible. [03:50] Uncoupling To Survive: How The Mitochondria Release Pressure Dr. Gundry recommends reading Uncoupling To Survive: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11053672/ When you're starving to death, mitochondria have to save themselves at all costs. If mitochondria die, then it’s all over. Making energy is hard work; it’s very damaging to mitochondria. Mitochondria have to have ways of protecting themselves, and one of the ways they protect themselves is to release pressure. There are five pressure release valves for the mitochondria. We couple oxygen and protons to make ATP. If we uncouple the burning of oxygen from making ATP, that’s how we release pressure. [21:05] The Reason, Most People, Cannot Get Into Ketosis Right Away Most people can not get into ketosis by following a high-fat diet because they lack metabolic flexibility. Many people are insulin resistant. Their cells no longer listen to insulin, so insulin keeps rising and rising. It can take three to four weeks to liberate fat from fat cells on a ketogenic diet because insulin levels stay high for so long. The ketogenic diet came about to treat childhood epilepsy. If you put kids on an MCT oil-based diet, with only about 50% of their calories coming from fat, they would get the same benefit as the full-blown ketogenic diet. [32:25] The “Mito Club” - How Your Body Is Just Like A Nightclub The mito club has one entrance, and there is only one exit. If everything works out okay, a proton and electron will couple and exit the mito club. However, there are a lot more electrons than there are protons. Electrons will also couple with oxygen; it’s a bad match. The mito club needs to be cleaned up every night after closing. [38:40] Calorie Restriction Is A Non-Starter, and It Doesn’t Work The best way to expand lifespan and healthspan is calorie restriction. However, calorie restriction is a non-starter, and it doesn’t work. Calorie-restricted animals are profoundly hungry. A study found that the animals with time-restricted eating lived 11% longer than the animals who ate the same amount of food but ate throughout the day. This concept has been proven in humans as well. [47:05] The Major Health Benefit of Taking MCT Oil or Powder 30% of sheep and goat dairy is MCT. MCTs are an excellent fat that goes directly to our liver, where they are automatically converted into ketones. You can have insulin resistance, take MCTs, and generate ketones. A tablespoon of MCT oil will have you generating adequate amounts of ketones to begin uncoupling mitochondria. MCTs are easy to take; you can mix them in salad dressing. Many females have issues with MCT oils and their stomachs, so start slow. Powered MCTs work well for women. [53:35] You Have Melatonin All Wrong: It May Have Nothing To Do With Sleep Pistachios actually have the highest melatonin content of any food. The Mediterranean diet gets melatonin from olive oil, red wine, and mushrooms. Melatonin isn’t there to put you to sleep. Instead, it’s there to repair mitochondria. Also, melatonin may be one of the secrets of cancer therapy. Dr. Gundry has cancer patients on up to 100 milligrams a day of melatonin.
