Today, I am lucky to have here with me a wellness explorer, Mother, Wife, CEO, and someone who is insatiably curious about the healing power of the Earth’s most precious ingredients, Naomi Whittel.   The Real Skinny on Fat Docuseries: http://bit.ly/2kmITwE   Naomi Whittel is widely recognized as the one to watch in the “wellness from within” space. Named by Prevention the nation’s leading female innovator in the natural products industry, Naomi is hailed as a trailblazer and an advocate of purity and potency in nutraceuticals.   Naomi continues to deliver on her promise to help millions thrive with award-winning supplements they know will truly help them. A premier wellness partner for QVC, Naomi has also been recognized as one of the leading innovators in the natural products industry by Whole Foods Magazine in their exclusive “Who’s Who of Manufacturers and Suppliers.”   Her story and products have been lauded by The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, ABC News, PBS, InStyle, The View, The Doctors, Dr. Oz, SHAPE, Access Hollywood, Natural Solutions, Good Morning America, Today Show and more.   She is a steward of sustainability, a sought-after keynote speaker, and a member of the UN Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Naomi lives in Boca Raton, Florida with her husband and their four children.   In this episode, Naomi and I talked about the journey that led her to where she is today. First, Naomi reveals some health troubles she had growing up, which led her to try some alternative medicines. In the end, it had a damaging effect on her health. Then, Naomi explains the inspiration behind her book and docuseries while giving tips on antiaging and feeling our best. She also describes how she landed a rare interview with a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Tune in!   FREE KETO KICKSTART GUIDE: http://www.ketokickstartguide.com    The Real Skinny on Fat Docuseries: http://bit.ly/2kmITwE   [00:50] Naomi’s Previous Health Problems She spent her early childhood on an organic, biodynamic farm in Switzerland. Because her father is a chemist, he would teach Naomi about the essential elements needed as part of a health-promoting diet. Naomi suffered from debilitating eczema for which nothing seemed to work-not even traditional medicine. An acupuncturist provided her with a curative path through herbs and treatments. The symptoms of her eczema subsided over time. However, Naomi was confronted with dangerous levels of toxicity from heavy metals in the herbs she had ingested.   [08:11] The Queen of Autophagy Naomi travels all over to different parts of the world and sees the trends that will eventually make their way to the United States. She got into autophagy intuitively – she recognized that she had to be building or removing. Green juices helped Naomi to eliminate her toxic load.   [10:00] You Need to Start Eating Citrus Bergamont Naomi met with Dr. Elizabeth Janda, a researcher in Italy, opened Naomi’s eyes to this lifechanging fruit. Traditionally, the fruit is used to treat high cholesterol. Melitidin and brutieridin, discourage the production of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while helping your body make HDL (“good”) cholesterol.   [12:55] Activating Autophagy You can activate autophagy through exercise, sleeping, different foods, and a specific type of mindset. You can read Naomi’s book about autophagy here: Glow15: A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight, Revitalize Your Skin, and Invigorate Your Life   [15:15] Interviewing a Nobel Prize Winner Naomi landed a rare interview with Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi on autophagy. She cried tears of admiration after the interview because he is so humble. Ohsumi was malnourished as a child and dreamed of being a scientist. He created a whole body of work and research on autophagy.   [18:20] How Skincare Relates to Autophagy Naomi worked with a Richard C. Wang, a dermatologist, to determine how to activate autophagy in the skin. She brought him hundreds of ingredients. Dr. Wang discovered which ingredients would activate the autophagy: Caffeine Ceramides Polyphenols Trehalose Your skin is just a mirror of what is going on inside. Women in their 50’s may have skin that looks so much older because of the different fibers. Women have to become smart about activating autophagy in the skin to stay looking young.   [23:00] Antiaging Tips Learn how to activate cellular autophagy. It’s good for detoxing. Tap into your circadian rhythm. Teach your body to utilize good stress. Exercising can be a form of good stress. Autophagy loves good stress which has a massive antiaging effect.   [26:05] The Real Skinny on Fat Naomi interviewed over 80 experts for her docuseries The Real Skinny on Fat. Oz did a whole show on keto and showed parts of her docuseries. Some of the key points Naomi took out of it: We want to burn fat as our core fuel. 25% of the population can utilize carbohydrates effectively. For those who can’t, it’s better not to bother. Nuts are not the best way to get your fats because they aren’t the cleanest fuel. A lot of times, they are not gluten-free. We have the power to give our bodies exactly what we need; it’s not as complicated as we imagine. Naomi started by first interviewing Dr. Jeff Bland - Founder and Pioneer in Functional Medicine. She worked on the docuseries during the weekends and at night because of her full-time job. However, she still got all of the sleep she needed and ate a keto diet.   [35:45] Navigating Self-Limiting Beliefs Naomi started working on her belief system when she was 12 years old because of eczema. We have to nurture our brain by giving it our favorite foods and sleep. Our brains cleanse themselves while we are sleeping. At a young age, Naomi knew she could get away from negative thoughts by working on her subconscious mind. When she starts to hear negative thoughts, she uses affirmations. Naomi also uses neuro-linguistic programming.   [41:40] Whole Body Metabolism What we believe about metabolism is just a tiny fraction of what it is. Naomi’s next book will be about this very topic.     AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Visit Naomi Whittel’s Website Connect with Naomi Whittel: Facebook Twitter YouTube Instagram Glow15: A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight, Revitalize Your Skin, and Invigorate Your Life by Naomi Whittel Rare Interview with Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi on Autophagy The Real Skinny on Fat   Email me at ben@ketokamp.com Join the The Keto Kamp Inner Circle   This podcast is for information purposes only.

On this episode of The Keto Kamp podcast we discuss the relationship between fasting, keto, and brain function.   You will be amazed when you discover how ketones and fasting super charge your brain top perform at a top level.   This episode is sponsored by my favorite olive oil, the Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club. Try them for $1.00 www.ketokampolive.com    The 4 key foods to stimulate neurogenesis:   1) Blueberries. I have blueberries just about every single day, and I recommend it to my clients. Not only is it low in sugar compared to other fruits, it is also packed full of antioxidants. Blueberries act in so many ways to promote neurogenesis and protect the brain from cognitive decline.   Numerous studies show adding blueberries to the daily diet of mice increases neurogenesis significantly.   Casadesus, G., Shukitt-Hale, B., Stellwagen, H.M., et al. (Oct 2004). “Modulation of hippocampal plasticity and cognitive behavior by short-term blueberry supplementation in aged rats.” Nutritional Neuroscience. 7(5-6):309-16.   Acosta, S., Jernberg, J., Sanberg, C.D., Sanberg, P.R., Small, B.J., Gemma, C., Bickford, P.C. (Oct 2010). Rejuvenation Res. 13 (5):581-8. doi 10.1089/rej.1011. Epub 29 Jun 2010.   Joseph, J.A., Shukitt-Hale, B., Lau, F. C. “Fruit polyphenols and their effects on neuronal signaling and behavior in senescence.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.   Consuming about 1 cup per day is the equivalent human portion that animal studies have suggested. Here’s a bonus tip, buy wild organic frozen blueberries. New research from South Dakota State University [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/1 722124810.htm] suggests that frozen blueberries deliver a bigger dose of disease-fighting antioxidants than fresh. These antioxidants come from compounds called anthocyanins, which give blueberries their purple hue. The ice crystals that form when the berries are frozen disrupt the structure of the plant tissue and make anthocyanins more available. The anthocyanin dye, which causes the dark blue color, crosses the blood-brain barrier to stimulate neurogenesis. [Page 61]   Humans with cognitive decline showed improvements after consuming blueberries daily.   Devore. E. E., Kang, J.H., Bretellen, M. M., Grodstein, F. A. (July 2012). “Dietary intakes of berries and flavonoids in relation to cognitive decline.” Neurology. 72(1):135-43. Doi: 10.1002/ana.23594. Epub 26 Apr 2012.   Joseph, J.A., Shukitt-Hale, B., Willis, L. M. (Sep 2009). “Grape juice, berries, and walnuts affect brain aging and behavior.” Journal of Nutrition. 139(9):1813S-7S. Doi: 10.3945/jn.109.108266. Epub 29 Jul 2099. Review.   Aside from increasing neurogenesis, blueberries allow better communication among neurons, something called signal transduction. [Page 62]   Studies have shown that blueberry extracts are as effective as fresh blueberries.[page 62] In most animal studies it’s the extract that is used. This makes daily blueberry intake possible for those who don’t have access to fresh blueberries. Life Extension makes a great blueberry extract product.   2) Omega 3s. Another neurogenesis superstar is the complex of omega-3 fatty acids, found in abundance in cold water fish, including wild Alaskin salmon, coho and sockeye salmon, black cod, sablefish, sardines, and herrings. Omega-3s have been shown to dramatically increase neurogenesis and BDNF Levels. [Page 62]   Neuroscience researcher Sandrine Thuret, Ph.D., of London’s Kings College, reported a 40% increase in neurogenesis by adding omega-3’s in Science Daily in 2007. Other studies have shown impressive results in neurogenesis, elevated BDNF levels, increased in brain size, and neuroprotective benefits from omega-3s.   Conklin, S.M., Gianaros, P.J., Brown, S.M., et al. (29 June 2007). “Long-chain omega-3 fatty acid intake is associated positively with corticolimbic gray matter volume in healthy adults.” Neuroscience Letters. 421(3):209-12   Beltz, B. S., Tlusty, M. F., Benton, J. L., Sandeman, D. C. (2007). “Omega-3 fatty acids up regulate adult neurogenesis.” Neurogenesis Letters.   Zainuddin, M. S. A., & Thuret, S. (2012). “Nutrition, adult and hippocampal neurogenesis and mental health.” British Medical Bulletien. 103, 1, p.89-114. DOI:10.1093/bmb/Ids021.   Our brains are made up of about 60% fat; this is where the term “fathead” came from. The next time someone calls you a fathead, say thank you. DHA, one of the most important of the omega-3s, constitutes about 30% of the brains cerebral cortex.   Jockers. D. (2012). “Is your brain getting enough of this nutrient?” NaturalNews.com. (11/05/2012).   When you consume high quality fats you are continuously rebuilding your brains’ cellular structure. Omega-3s are the highest quality fats for brain development.   3) Green Tea. Green tea contains polyphenols, the most powerful of which is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a type of catechin. Green tea’s polyphenols have been shown to increase neurogenesis, BDNF levels, and to have strong health benefits ranging from cancer prevention to fat loss, plus cardiovascular benefits, immunity improvement, and glucose reduction.   (Aug 2012). Molecular Nutrition & Food Research. 56(8):1292-303. doi: 10.1002/mnfr.201200035. Epub 13 Jun 2012.   Wang, Y., Li, M., Xu, X., Song, M., Tao, H., Bai, Y. “Green Tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) promises neural progenitor cell proliferation and sonic hedgehog pathway activation during adult hippocampal neurogenesis.”   Goepp, J. (Apr 2008). “New research on the benefits of green tea.” Life Extension.   Yoo, K.Y., Choi, J. H., Hwang, I. K., Lee, C. H., Lee, S. O., Han, S. M., Shin, H. C., Kang, I. J., Won, M. H. (July 2010). “Epigallocatechin-3-gallate increases cell proliferation and neuroblasts in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in adult mice.” Phytotherapy Research. 24(7):1065-70. doi: 10.1002/ptr.3083.   Green tea has clear cognitive benefits and even improves working memory, which is one of the most difficult functions to increase.   Borgwardt, S., Hammann, F., Scheffler, K., Kreuter, M., Drewe, J., Beglinger, C. (Nov 2012). “Neural effects of green tea extract on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 66(11):1187-92.   Look for extracts standardized to at least 40% polyphenols, or even better, 98% polyphenols with 75% catechin and 45% ECGC.   [Page 65]   Keep in mind that green tea does have caffeine, so ideally you want to have it before 2pm, any later may interfere with quality of sleep.   4. Circumin. Circumin provides the yellow color in the curry spice turmeric. It has strong neurogenic effects. In addition it is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. Aging populations who consume circumin show better cognitive performance.   Kim, S.K., Son, T. G., Park, H. R., Park, M., Kim, M. S., Kim, H. S., Chung, H. Y., Mattson, M. P., Lee, J. (23 May 2008). “Circumin stimulates proliferation of embryonic neural progenitor cells and neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus.” Journal of Biological Chemistry. 283(21):14497-505. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M708373200. Epub 24 Mar 2008.   Ng, T. P., Chiam, P. C., Lee, T., Chua, H. C., Lim, L., Kua, E. H. (1 Nov 2006). “Curry consumption and cognitive function in the elderly.” American Journal of Epidemiology. 164(9):898-906. Epub 26 Jul 2006.   Circumin is notoriously known to be poorly absorbed; you can enhance it by adding it to fat and/or adding piperine (black pepper extract). // R E S O U R C E S   Thomas DeLauer's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTdelauer   Head Strong by Dave Asprey: https://amzn.to/2kyBafb    Exercise & Then Brain by John Ratey: https://amzn.to/2kyWv8g    The Neurogenesis Diet & Lifestyle by Brant Cortright:  https://amzn.to/2lSpfJq     TEDx Talk by Mark Mattson on Fasting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UkZAwKoCP8   My Favorite Blueberry Extract Supplement:  https://amzn.to/2kgfowm     Pique Green Tea: https://amzn.to/2kL9nrF     Get my FREE Keto Kickstart Guide: http://www.ketokickstartguide.com   YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp    This podcast is for information purposes only.

Up to 70 billion cells need to be recycled each day; autophagy is the process for this to happen. How autophagy works (refrigerator analogy) An alarming stastisic about Americans, and why most are in a constant fed state, never experiencing autophagy. mTor (anabolic growth) vs autophagy (cellular breakdown and repair), and how they have an inverted relationship The problems that can occur when you are in a constant fed state The number 2 benefit: rise in stem cells. How a rise in stem cells help to heal old injuries (knee pain, back pain, etc) The number 3 benefit: A boost of ketones. How ketones protect the genes we are born with. How ketones down regulate inflammation, allowing our hormones to communicate to our cells. How ketones help you achieve the ultimate goal of metabolic flexibility. Why ketones are a cleaner fuel source than glucose (firewood vs gas stove analogy) The keto diet turns on the SIRT1 longevity gene The number 4 benefit: Energy diversion. How fasting provides you with energy and blood flow to heal the body, and crush the day. Study by Dr. Zach Bush which showed it took 14 hours to digest a standard American diet meal. The number 5 benefit: Hormone optimization. How our hormones and our cells communicate, and why having more sensitive hormones through fasting has amazing benefits for us. How inflammation through being in a constant fed state creates cellular inflammation, and results in our hormones not being able to communicate to our cells. Why we don't have a lack of hormones problem, we have an inflammation problem. The number 5 benefit: Resets the microbiome. The problem of leaky gut, and how fasting gives your digestive system a break. How a compromised digestive system doesn't allow the nutrition you eat to be assimilated properly. The number 7 benefit: Resets the DNA, turns off bad genes.

Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee? Coffee is one of the world’s most popular beverages. Aside from its taste, people love it because of its high levels of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients. According to studies, 63% of American consume coffee daily. I, myself, am included in that.   Today’s episode is all about coffee. I am joined by Andrew Salisbury, co-founder of Purity Coffee. Andrew Salisbury was inspired to start Purity Coffee® after learning the truth about coffee and its positive impact on overall health and wellness. At Purity, their goal is to present the original scientific research that clearly proves that coffee is beneficial to human health and give people a new reason to drink coffee. In this episode, he shares and discusses some of that.   Coffee’s health benefits have been extensively researched and generally agreed upon. Using the words of Andrew, “Coffee is good for you. But, it can be made better.” Purity Coffee is an organic certified, specialty grade, high in antioxidants and free of contaminants coffee. Listen and learn about the benefits of coffee and the dangers of the wrong type of coffee. Andrew also shares tips on buying the perfect coffee! Sit tight, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this episode!   Learn more about Purity Coffee here.   Get your bag of Purity coffee beans here: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com   In this episode, you'll discover:   [00:25] Andrew’s journey to the coffee industry Andrew’s background has nothing to do with coffee. His interest in coffee started to rise about 4 years ago when his wife was having some health issues, yet she doesn’t want to give up coffee. He was introduced to the professors of Vanderbilt University Institute for Coffee Studies where he found out that the benefits of coffee according to researchers and scientists are very different from what the general public know about it. They introduced Andrew to one of the top coffee scientists in the world, Adriana Franca from University of Brazil. Challenges on building a coffee company: Finding the right coffee beans, source and process. Reasons not to turn it into a business were more abundant than the other way around. Achieving high number of chlorogenic acids comparable to the top coffee brands in US   [6:00] Coffee and Health: What’s in your coffee? Drinking coffee is one of the healthiest things you can do to protect yourself against major diseases, increase physical performance, enhance brain function and contribute to longevity. People don’t buy coffee based on health. Thus, coffee producers don’t keep in mind health in their production. The big drivers of coffee today are: Cost Convenience Taste Coffee is the most heavily treated plant (pesticides) on the planet, next to tobacco. Coffee beans are sold by weight. Farmers spray their beans with water to make it heavier. Higher moisture content encourage growth of molds and mycotoxins. Dark roasted coffee beans are the most flavorful but has the least amount of antioxidants. As one of the well-researched topics on the planet, there are about 19,000 studies done on coffee and health. Yet, the vast majority of these findings have yet to reach the general public Coffee’s health benefits have been extensively researched and generally agreed upon. Coffee is good for you. But, it can be made better.   [10:48] Tips on how to buy coffee Ask for a specialty grade organic coffee. Look for medium roast coffee (city or full city). Under roasted coffee have higher levels of acrylamide. Over roasted coffee have burnt compounds and lower levels of antioxidants. Make sure that the coffee fresh. Antioxidants drop off dramatically after 20 days of roasting.   [13:28] Beyond Organic: Purity Coffee The Purity Process: aims to improve people’s health through coffee At Purity Coffee, they only use handpicked coffee. Large scale coffee producers do not handpick coffee beans. This method is very prone to spreading of molds and mycotoxins. Poor production practices can compromise the health attributes of coffee at nearly every step in the process. Purity Coffee test for molds, mycotoxins and pesticide residue. TA defined roasting protocol is practiced at Purity Coffee. For every harvest, they roast coffee on a condition that produces the highest level of antioxidants.
