#838 The 5 Most Harmful Foods Feeding Brain Disease & Dementia! with Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the founder and CEO of Farmers Juice, Junaid Kalmadi. Farms are the lifeblood of a healthy food ecosystem. Farmers Juice partners with a network of trusted local farmers to source only the highest quality ingredients. Their sourcing is organic (year-round when available) from family farms in California. In this episode, Junaid Kalmadi speaks about his journey to opening Farmers Juice. They separate themselves from other juice companies because Farmers Juice focuses on local farms, they donate some of their proceeds to Kiss The Ground, and they have keto-friendly juices. 2020 has been a challenging year; it’s time that we focus on self-care and self-love. One way to practice self-care is through giving our body the nutrition it needs. Tune in as we talk about the misconceptions of cold-pressed and the benefits of juice on our mental health. If you want to be in ketosis and check out the juices, you can do it here using code “ketokamp” https://thefarmersjuice.com/ketokamp. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:25] About Junaid Kalmadi At college, Junaid gained forty pounds. Throughout college, his cognitive performance was down. No one would hire him after he graduated! So, Junaid started his own business out of necessity. Even though his business was up and running, Junaid had anxiety and depression. He got the dream but still felt like crap. Three years ago, Junaid took six months off to focus on being healthy. He started meditating every day, fasting, and keto. He lost twenty pounds and felt amazing. Eventually, Junaid began to introduce cold-pressed juices into his diet. Junaid’s juice journey led him to start Farmers Juice: (code: ketokamp) https://thefarmersjuice.com/ketokamp. [09:15] The Logistics Behind Farmers Juice Farmers Juice will deliver nationwide to the 48 states. In terms of the process, the first step is the plant lifecycle. There is a time where plants have peak nutrition. They catch the plants during that time and juice it then and there. Farmers Juice will use a lot of ugly produce that wouldn’t get placed in Whole Foods. Once they juice the plants, then they use an innovative technology that introduces cold water and high pressure from every angle. That pressure will neutralize all the negative pathogens and maintain the integrity of the juice for thirty days. [11:45] Keeping Farmers Juice In Your Fridge After you open the juice, drink it within three days. If you have no intention to drink the juice, don’t open it. If the juice hasn’t been opened, it will last thirty days in your fridge. [12:30] The Misconceptions Behind Cold-Pressed Most companies do not take the level of attention to make sure the plants are organic. Many juice companies are not organic because it’s more affordable. Farmers Juice will take the extra step to make sure it’s organic. Most juices are anywhere between eight and twelve dollars. Farmers Juice is $5.99 per juice. Lastly, most juices are high in sugar. Junaid has created keto-friendly juices working with Dave Asprey. [16:30] About Junaid’s Juices    The Greens Only box of juices is ketogenic and low glycemic. It includes 20 organic cold-pressed juices and ten shots. Many of the juices contain cucumber, dino kale, lemon, and ginger. All of the juices will give you a good energy boost. [23:10] The Benefits Of Juice On Mental Health It’s critical to love yourself and take care of yourself. One of the best ways to do that is to have healthy habits. Work on appreciating yourself through nutrition. When you have fast food, it changes how you felt for the rest of the day. When you eat something good, you notice it more, and you feel the momentum in your health journey. Think about what else you can do to expand your wellbeing, like drinking juice! AND MUCH MORE!

In this episode, you'll discover 5 reasons why you aren't on ketosis yet, and 3 proven ways to accelerate ketosis.  Free Keto Masterclass: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com Free Keto Blueprint: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off// R E S O U R C E S // T I M E S T A M P S 01:30 Video overview. Does too much protein kick you out of ketosis? The role electrolytes play with getting into ketosis fast. Why toxins might be the reason why you can’t get into ketosis.  02:00 The first reason why you aren’t in ketosis… too many carbohydrates. If you’ve wondered how many carbs you should eat to get into ketosis, you’ll find the answer here. Keep an eye out for carbohydrate creep. It’s important to read the ingredients list. Some people need to drop total carbohydrates to under 20 grams in order to achieve ketosis.    03:15 The second reason why you aren’t producing ketones… a process called electrolyte dumping. When your body transitions away from being a sugar burner to a fat burner, it releases excess water. When you don’t replenish electrolytes on keto, this can result in common symptoms when doing keto such as brain fog, the keto flu, and not feeling good on the keto diet.  Consume 1-2 teaspoons of high quality salt. I use Redmond’s Real Salt: Here are other ways to replenish your electrolytes and minerals on the ketogenic diet… Real Salt: https://bit.ly/38NsoPi​ use the coupon code azadi for 10% off Re-Lyte Electrolyte Powder: https://bit.ly/3rJTsYf​ coupon code azadi 10% off MicroDaily: https://bit.ly/3rIGV7x 06:48 The third reason why your ketones are low… you might be fasting too much. Can you practice intermittent fasting with the keto diet? Yes, they go hand in hand. However, fasting is a muscle you want to develop over time.    08:35 The number four reason why you can’t get into ketosis on keto…. Poor sleep and too much stress. Yes, too much stress will kick you out of ketosis. When cortisol is high, glucose follows and ketones drop.  Sleep deprivation and higher cortisol and insulin https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sleep-deprivation-obesity/ 09:47 Sleep issues on keto? Follow these tips.  The Power of Sleep Book: https://amzn.to/3pJGLLz 11:24 The fifth reason why you have low ketones on a ketogenic diet…. Toxins! This is the most common reason why people struggle to get into ketosis, or why you keep getting kicked out of ketosis. This is why you don’t feel good on keto.  The Fasting Trio: https://bit.ly/2WKSBrL Free Toxicity Quiz: http://www.toxicmiami.com 15:30 The bonus reason why you can’t stay in ketosis …. Unstable fats such as vegetables oils and fish oil.  18:20 How fish oil is sabotaging your keto results.  STUDY: Page 251 in the PEO Solution: "21st Century Warning: 4½ Months to Rid Patients of the Damaging Fish Oil Excess21 It takes 18 weeks to reverse the negative effect of the incorporation of EPA / DHA from fish oil into the cell membrane. This four–month time frame is important to understand, as it coincides precisely with the time frame of significant vascular health improvement, that was accelerated by ceasing fish oil use, as shown in the IOWA screening experiment." 20:20 3 proven ways to get into ketosis fast.  MCT’s are 3 fatty acid groups with a glycerol backbone  Their metabolization is unique and gives us instant energy 3 types of fats, short chain, medium and long chain C8 Caprylic has been shown to be the most efficient for ketone production MCT’s are not stored as fat, they are used for fuel and converted into ketones immediately Combine C8 with coconut oil to help get the spike in ketones from C8 and the conversion from coconut oil.

Free Keto Masterclass: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com Free Keto Blueprint: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com TIMESTAMPS: 1:14 Overview 01:40 Keto is not a diet. Keto is a metabolic process. Every single one of our ancestors follow the ketogenic diet. Their environment put them in ketosis. 02:35 We are born in ketosis. Babies that are breastfed go in and out of ketosis because breast milk is made of saturated fat and cholesterol.  Studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15573408/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15916931/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10652985/ 03:30 How ketosis works inside the body at the cellular level. 06:08 The difference between burning sugar (glucose) and burning fat (ketones). Sugar burners vs fat burners.  06:45 How keto helps to reduce inflammation inside of the body. 07:45 The real cause of weight gain and weight loss resistance. 09:20 The first tip: Focus on health over fat loss. You do not lose weight to be healthy. You get healthy to lose weight. Pay attention to non-scale victories, and get keto blood work done. 11:45 If LDL goes up with keto, get the NMR test to determine the LDL particle sizes. 13:00 The second tip: Electrolyte dumping. Do this to avoid the keto flu, and other common symptoms on the ketogenic diet.   Here are my favorite electrolyte & mineral supplements: Redmond’s Real Salt: https://bit.ly/38NsoPi use the coupon code azadi for 10% off Redmond’s Re-Lyte Electrolyte Powder: https://bit.ly/3rJTsYf use the coupon code azadi for 10% off Micro Daily: https://www.microdaily.com/ketokamp/micro-daily 14:45 The third tip: Follow the 2/2/2/2 rule to help your body use fatty acids for fuel instead of glucose. This is a great way to transition into ketosis quickly without any keto side effects. 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or mct oil 2 tablespoons of grass fed butter or ghee 2 teaspoons of sea salt 15:55 The fourth tip: Consume bitters to help your liver and gallbladder produce bile. Bile acts as a detergent to break down fat. Most people have sluggish bile leading to keto digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and not feeling good on keto. If you don’t have a gallbladder on keto, it can still be done with some considerations. Here is a video on 5 ways to follow the ketogenic diet without a gallbladder: https://youtu.be/Z6nwyhh3Zac 17:07 The best ways to support your liver on keto. Here are my favorite sources of keto bitters to help with keto digestion, and helping you feel better in ketosis. 18:55 The fifth tip: How do you calculate macros on keto? Discover if you should cut calories on the ketogenic diet.  20:30 Why more protein on keto is better. No, consuming protein on keto will not knock you out of a ketosis. Here is a recent video I did debunking common keto protein myths: https://youtu.be/I1o89fSlcAw 21:19 Number six and number seven tip: Gradually decrease carbohydrates on keto to under 50 total grams per day, and stop snacking in between your keto meals. 22:30 How the fat storage hormone insulin causes weight gain even on keto.   23:45 Number eight tip: How to test and measure ketones in the body. The optimal ranges for blood ketones and blood glucose, and advance glucose testing postprandial (after eating).    Keto Mojo Blood Ketone Machine: https://amzn.to/34VRSsQ BioSense Breath Ketone Meter: https://bit.ly/3aXV9vy use KETOKAMP at checkout for $20 off. 26:50 Number nine tip: Clean keto vs dirty keto.

Cinnamon has been used for over 4,000 years. It is high in antioxidants. #7 ORAC score, antioxidant score. cinnamon blood sugar study in type 2 diabetics:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...   Cinnamon for diabetes can help block the activity of several digestive enzymes to slow the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream after a high-carb meal https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2/ Many studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes can experience significant positive effects on blood sugar markers by supplementing with cinnamon extract.  FENUGREEK  With trace nutrients (iron, manganese, copper) and a variety of antioxidants, fenugreek is a wonderful keto herb.  In a study published in the Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, it was also observed that the control ground had a "4.2 times higher chance of developing type-2 diabetes compared to subjects in the fenugreek group.”  CLOVES  Consuming cloves can help stop sugar cravings as well. In a study, 30 type-2 diabetics were given capsules containing zero, one, two or three grams of cloves each day for a month to observe their serum glucose levels.  Researchers of the study suggested that consuming one to three grams of cloves per day is beneficial for type-2 diabetics to better manage their glucose and total cholesterol levels.”   GINSENG  In several human studies American ginseng lowered blood sugar levels in people with type-2 diabetes. The blood sugar lowering effect was seen both on fasting blood sugar and on postprandial (after eating) glucose levels.  Drink ginseng tea before or after your keto meals.   L-GLUTAMINE  L-glutamine calms the part of your brain that lights up when you experience a sugar/carb craving. It turns out, sugar is as addicting as cocaine, and some say sugar is 8 times more addicting than cocaine. Wow.  Take 500mg of l-glutamine powder, up to 3 times each day. I recommend this one: https://amzn.to/3aXo7vu 32:55 The 11th tip: What are the best sweeteners for keto? 33:43 The 12th tip: Master sleep and stress on keto.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Craig Emmerich. Craig graduated in Electrical Engineering and has spent the last 15 plus years researching nutrition and working with thousands of clients alongside his wife, Maria Emmerich. He is an international best-selling author of the "Keto: The Complete Guide" and "The Carnivore Cookbook." He uses his knowledge of how our bodies work to help clients heal and lose weight leveraging their biology to make it easy. In this episode, Craig speaks about his journey to the ketogenic lifestyle. Craig explains how plants can negatively impact our guts. Kale and spinach can be some of the most significant irritants to our guts because of their antinutrients. Also, Craig reveals what other plants are chock full of these antinutrients. Later, we speak about the benefits of eating red meats, and we bust the myth that red meat causes cancer. Tune in as Craig tells us how fat loss works from a metabolic standpoint, and we hear about Craig's plans in 2021. // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:30] About Craig Emmerich Craig is an ex-engineer; it leads him to look at nutrition differently. Craig’s wife, Maria, would make keto meals for the family. On the weekends, Craig would eat whatever he wanted. Craig realized when he ate whatever; he would feel awful. So, to feel better, Craig started eating keto for every meal. Your body is adaptable. If you constantly flood your body with inflammatory foods, then it can deal with it. You won’t notice the incremental pain. When you cut it all out, you get a massive reaction and realize what it's doing to your body. [05:30] How Our Gut Is Affected By Plants Plants can make issues in our bodies worse. Sometimes, it will even cause the issues. Your body wants nutrients. However, antinutrients are compounds that your body does not want. Your body will have to detox these antinutrients. There are thousands of these compounds in plants. Plants don’t want you to eat their leaves because it will kill the plant. Spinach and kale have oxalates in them in high amounts. They will irritate the gut and cause leaky gut. Mainstream media doesn’t discuss these issues with plants. [10:45] Antinutrients Found In A Keto Diet Lectins are a big problem. There are tons of compounds in our foods that can cause problems. Tannins are an antinutrient that is in grapes and wine. You can die if you get too many oxalates. That’s the problem with green smoothies. Plus, there are loads of compounds that we haven’t even studied. When you know the reason for starting a keto lifestyle, then the way you do it can be very different. We have been taught that more vegetables are the way to go, but it’s not always the truth. [17:45] The Benefits of Eating Red Meat As far as red meats go, there is a huge metanalysis that was done last year. It looked at all the available information out there on red meat and cancer. They found that there is no correlation between red meat and cancer. When you eat red meat, there can be amazing improvements to your cardiovascular system. Try out the carnivore diet and see how it works for you. There are loads of vitamins and minerals in red meat. Focus on protein because that will be the best part of your plate. More protein is usually better, especially for people on a keto diet. [24:40] How Fat Loss Works From A Metabolism Standpoint     We process protein, fat, and carbs the same. Oxidative priority is how our body will process our fuels. When you eat a meal, you have hundreds of calories flooding the bloodstream. The body has to prioritize how it will use the fuel. The last priority for the body is fat because we have a massive amount of fat storage; it is easy for the body to store fat. Alcohol is the number one priority for the body because you cannot store alcohol. When you eat with alcohol, the body has to deal with the alcohol first. The body doesn’t want to use protein as a fuel; it wants to use it to repair cells. If you cut out alcohols and keep your carbs to a minimum, then fat will be your own variable. Adjust your fat levels based on your goals.   [33:10] Craig’s Plans For 2021 Check out the Protein Sparing Modified Fast Cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1722073454/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2/benazadi-20 There is more to come from Craig and Maria; get excited!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Chris Irvin, a nutrition researcher, writer, and educator. He holds a master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science and is currently the education manager for Perfect Keto. During his time in grad school, Chris began to see the keto industry growing. Chris was in big support of this industry growth because he thinks a robust industry can support good research, but with so many companies coming on the scene just trying to make a buck, Chris became discouraged and kept his distance.   After spending a couple of years researching and developing content about keto, Chris decided to start looking more into the keto industry because he wanted to bring more research and education into the industry. Fortunately, Perfect Keto was looking for someone to improve research and education within their company, something they were already doing very well! Chris was already a big fan of Dr. Anthony Gustin and the quality products he was making at Perfect Keto, so it ended up making a great fit. Now Chris focuses on learning and educating the masses on the ketogenic diet through The Ketologist and Perfect Keto! In this episode, Chris Irvin opens the show speaking about his journey to the keto diet and eventually the carnivore diet. First, we talk about how ketosis can actually help you build muscle despite people thinking insulin is required for muscle growth. In fact, ketones can stimulate muscle growth. Later, we dive deep into the carnivore diet. Chris explains how he found the carnivore diet, why the carnivore diet is beneficial for our gut, and if the carnivore diet is sustainable long-term. Tune in as Keto Kamp members join the show to ask Chris questions about supplements and what to pay attention to when trying the carnivore diet. // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [02:00] About Chris Irvin Chris found the keto diet at age 24. At grad school, he learned about the benefits of keto from a sports perspective. When Chris tried keto, he didn't feel that great. However, after a few days, Chris started to feel energized. During his research at grad school, Chris got to look at how keto would affect athletic performance. If you want to learn about the therapeutic effects of keto, Chris recommends reading Tripping over the Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Tripping-over-Truth-Overturning-Entrenched/dp/1603587292/benazadi-20 Chris became frustrated that all this research was available, but people didn’t have access to it. So, Chris decided to start making content to educate the masses on the ketogenic diet.   [16:45] How Ketosis Helps You Build Muscle People think carbohydrates and insulin are required for muscle growth. However, you don’t have to have them. There are other ways that you can stimulate muscle growth. Ketones are muscle-sparing. You don’t lose muscle with ketosis. Ketones can also stimulate muscle growth by activating muscle proteins. Getting enough protein will be essential for muscle growth, especially for men. Even for people who aren’t focused on gaining muscle, there should be a focus on retaining muscle. Chronic diseases will destroy our health through muscle loss – so increase your protein intake. [21:00] How Chris Got Into Carnivore Chris tried carnivore about two and a half years ago. At first, Chris didn’t think an all-meat diet would be beneficial for people. After trying carnivore, he loved the way that he felt. It also changed the way that he looks at nutrition because he now prioritizes quality meat. Chris found that the carnivore diet gives him more strength in the gym, improves his productivity, decreases his hunger, improves his body composition, and even increases his ketone levels. After seeing the stories and hearing so many people who get excellent benefits from a carnivore diet, Chris thinks people can decide if it's the right fit for them. [26:40] Getting Vitamins And Minerals Through The Carnivore Diet Surprisingly, there are loads of nutrients in red meat. People think that plants provide us with essential micronutrients, and cutting them out will lead to deficiencies. However, micronutrients in plants are poorly absorbed in humans. Ketones are able to provide the benefits that vitamin C does. Plus, your demand for vitamin C will be less when you’re in ketosis. You need lots of vitamins on the standard American diet; your body doesn’t need as many vitamins in a carnivore diet. [31:45] Repairing The Gut With Carnivore    Gut health will improve with the carnivore diet for two reasons: Plants contain compounds that are toxic, and they can wreak havoc on our bodies. Some people are sensitive to these plants from overconsumption. So, when we eliminate those plants, the gut can start to heal through carnivore. Meat will provide nutrients to help with the repair of your gut. It can repair the lining of your gut and the structure of your gut. Thus, reducing leaky gut syndrome. [38:20] Is The Carnivore Diet Sustainable?   The carnivore diet is sustainable for an extended period of time. There is no reason to think that this diet is going to be bad for us. If you’re talking about sustainability for enjoying the diet, then it depends on the person. For someone who likes to cook and needs more flavor, the carnivore diet can be a bit boring. People can benefit from the carnivore as a diet as a tool in their toolbelt. Use the diet in four to six-week blocks. You can join The Carnivore Reset Challenge: https://meatreset.com. [52:20] Supplements For The Carnivore Diet Electrolytes will be a necessity on the carnivore diet. Find a powder or a capsule electrolyte supplement. [56:00] Repairing The Gut After Antibiotics The longer you’ve been taking antibiotics, the more damage that has occurred in your gut. In most cases, there is a two-week minimum to try the carnivore diet to see how your digestion is responding. Impaired gut health will zap your energy and prevent you from feeling great. If you’re not feeling great on carnivore, then you need to stick with it longer. [59:20] Feeling Better On Carnivore There should be a noticeable change that your quality of life is better on the carnivore diet. When you’re healthy, you’ll feel better. Digestion should improve. You won’t feel bloated or nauseous after meals. More energy and more mental clarity will also be a sign that the carnivore diet is working. AND MUCH MORE!
