Ep 115 - Dr Donald Layman | The Ultimate Protein Guide (How Much You ACTUALLY Need)

The carnivore diet has been around since the dawn of time, but it's only recently been gaining traction in modern society. Some people are choosing to go on this diet for health reasons, but many others are doing so for mental health reasons. In this interview with Natalie West, we'll discuss some of the ways that going on a carnivore diet can improve your mental health. A morbidly obese man named Shawn Baker was able to lose over 100 pounds in a matter of months by going on the carnivore diet. Baker is a former bodybuilder and he's now a carnivore diet advocate. He lost over 100 pounds on the carnivore diet and has suffered from depression for most of his life. Some people have experienced a reduction in anxiety due to the removal of carbohydrates. Eating carbs can cause blood sugar swings, that's why you can have lots of energy when you eat carbs and after a few hours you feel angry. Examples of foods that are high in carbohydrates are bread, pasta, and rice How to identify if you are experiencing anxiety due to carbohydrates: If you feel better after avoiding these foods for a few weeks, then it's a good idea to continue avoiding them. People have reported feeling happier and more positive. The carnivore diet can also improve your mental health by reducing anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and increasing energy levels. Natalie West suggests eating purely beef as it contains important amino acids to build lean muscle and feed your brain. Many people report experiencing greater productivity as a result of eating this way. One of the main benefits for mental health is the improved mood caused by not having to deal with sugar crashes, caffeine withdrawal, or stomach aches. You might feel happier because your body is finally getting the nutrients it's been craving for years. Key nutrients from eating a carnivore diet include: ⌲ Vitamin D can help with depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. ⌲ Vitamin B12 is essential for a healthy nervous system, as well as for healthy skin and hair, bone formation and blood clotting. It may also improve memory loss, fatigue and mood swings associated with aging. ⌲ Zinc helps regulate neurotransmitters — brain chemicals that carry messages between nerve cells — which are involved in mood control. Zinc supplements may help prevent relapses in people who have recovered from depression but are at high risk of another episode. ⌲ Iron deficiency can cause anemia (a lack of red blood cells), which could lead to fatigue or low energy levels that affect your moods as well as physical performance during exercise or work activities. While there are many studies that have been done to determine whether or not this diet is good for your mental health, the results seem extremely positive. If you're interested in trying out this new approach then it might be worth taking a chance on yourself!

The carnivore diet has gained incredible popularity for its healing and fat loss benefits. The carnivore diet focuses exclusively on consuming an animal-based diet, prioritising ruminant meats. What is the Carnivore Feasting and Fasting Method? The Feasting and Fasting method was created by Coach Raymond Nazon, master coach of the Steak and Butter Gang. With this method, there are three stages: 1. Priming - A 2-week period of over-satiating your body with nutrients, consuming 3 meals a day. 2. 2MADs - moving to a 2MAD diet should be quite easy at this stage. 3. Fasting - moving to an OMAD approach or rolling 48s How does this method help with burning belly fat? When you start a carnivore diet, there can be an adaptation phase. Getting used to eating a zero-carb diet should occur over a few weeks or months using the Bulletproof Carnivore Method. After this transition phase, you can enter the feasting and fasting method which allows for intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting to occur. Where the magic happens! In this fasting state, your body will use its own body fat as energy via a process of ketosis. When you are consuming a Standard American Diet, your body runs off glucose most of the time, which is a short-acting form of energy. That's why you feel the blood sugar swings, and energy crashes from carbohydrates. When you stick with an animal-based diet paired with natural fasting, you will notice a lower body fat percentage, flatter stomach and more visible abs. What about mental clarity? Another benefit of the carnivore fasting and feasting method is mental clarity and sharpness. Typically the human brain runs off ketones and fat as its prime energy fuel. When you are fasting you will notice more mental clarity, easier decision making and less need for distractions. Some carnivore experts have called it a zen experience. When the brain is hyper-focused and clear. This episode is brought to you by 5minutebody.com ★ Join the 5MB Monthly Carnivore Challenges

The quality of your sleep is one of the most critical factors in overall health and well-being. It's also one of the easiest things to improve if you know what to do. Sleep hygiene refers to the habits and behaviours that help promote better sleep. Use these hacks to improve your sleep While there are many ways to improve the quality of your sleep, they all boil down to three main things: Don't eat sugar or carbs. Try a carnivore or zero-carb diet for optimal digestion and sleep. Sleep in complete darkness. Unlike food that contains carbohydrates, light doesn't make it harder for people who want to fall asleep; instead, it makes them more alert by telling their bodies that it's daytime outside and time for wakefulness! The best way to ensure you'll get enough sleep every night is by making sure that there isn't any light coming into your bedroom at all hours of the night (or morning). This can be difficult if you live near city lights or have curtains over your windows; however, most modern homes have blackout curtains available as an option when purchasing new window treatments. Get some sunlight as soon as you wake up. The sun tells our bodies that it's morning again and time for us humans (and other animals) alike not only to wake up but also to start moving around more energetically than usual so we may continue growing stronger throughout each day until eventually falling asleep again at night when darkness comes upon us once more thus starting another cycle all over again.

It is a well-known fact that dairy products are a great source of protein. But there's more to it than that: dairy can also provide benefits for your body and mind. In this interview with Dr Bill Schindler, we discuss the benefits of raw dairy and how to eat like a human. Let's go into detail about what makes raw dairy so special, how it can help you achieve your fitness goals and why it's an important part of a balanced diet. Raw milk, like all other dairy products, is the best form of milk you can consume. It is more nutritious than conventional milk because it contains beneficial probiotics and enzymes that are destroyed during pasteurization. Raw milk also contains higher levels of beneficial minerals that are lost during the processing of other types of dairy products. For example, raw cheese has higher levels of calcium than pasteurized cheese. These factors make raw dairy much easier to digest than conventional forms of dairy such as pasteurized or homogenized cheeses which may cause bloating or indigestion in some people. Dairy Benefits Dairy products are a good source of protein and fat, which can help you feel fuller longer on a Carnivore Diet. Dairy products are also a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which both play an important role in keeping your bones strong. Plus, they’re packed with B vitamins that help your body convert food into energy. Dairy is one of the best sources of iodine, magnesium and potassium — nutrients that keep you energized by fueling every cell in your body with oxygen. Dairy is a great source of protein and fat, especially when it comes from grass-fed cows Dairy is a great source of protein and fat, especially when it comes from grass-fed cows. You'll find a good dose of calcium in dairy products, along with vitamins A and D. Calcium is important for building strong bones; vitamin A helps maintain healthy eyesight, and vitamin D helps your body absorb more calcium from food. Milk is also an excellent source of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin (vitamin B3), which are both essential for the production of energy in your body.

The OMAD diet is a form of intermittent fasting that allows you to eat all your meals in just one meal. The idea behind this diet is that you can get all the benefits of fasting and calorie restriction without actually restricting your calorie intake. What is OMAD? This form of fasting has gained popularity in recent years, but it isn't new: Eating one meal per day has been practised for centuries by religious groups like Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists (though not all religions permit or encourage fasting). How to start One Meal A Day? You can start with a 2MAD diet. This means you eat 2 meals per day. These meals should both consist of animal-based foods that are high in fat and protein. When you are only eating one or two meals a day it's important to eat the most nutrient-dense foods, which is a carnivore or keto lifestyle. Pair a Carnivore Diet with eating OMAD A carnivore diet is a high-fat, zero-carbohydrate diet. It's become more popular in recent years, thanks to stories of rapid weight loss and increased energy. You may have heard that the carnivore diet can be combined with intermittent fasting — and you're right! Fasting is a great way to increase autophagy (the process where your body clears out old cells). Why should you start? OMAD is a great way to lose weight, get into ketosis and improve your mental health. There are other benefits too: It can help people get into ketosis faster than any other diet out there because they're only eating once per day. Eating all at once also prevents overeating which helps keep blood sugar levels stable - especially good news if someone has diabetes! This means no more crashes after eating something sugary either! Is OMAD healthy and safe? If eaten in moderation, OMAD is a healthy way to lose weight. It's very effective for burning fat, and it can also be used as an appetite suppressant. However, if you're trying to lose weight with OMAD, remember that some people may not need as much food as others. If you're one of those people who don't eat enough on OMAD (like me), your body will start storing fat again because it thinks there isn't enough food coming in. You should add some extra meals if this happens to you so that your body won’t keep storing fat unnecessarily!

What is the Carnivore Diet? It's a zero-carb, high-fat diet that consists of meat and water. It made headlines in the United States when Dr Shawn Baker appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast and advocated for it as an effective treatment for autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease. Why you should eat nose to tail? You're probably familiar with the nose-to-tail eating trend, which is all about consuming all parts of an animal. Nose-to-tail eating has been practised for centuries and is a sustainable way to eat because it utilizes every part of the animal. You can apply this same principle to an animal-based diet by incorporating organs into your meals: Liver pâté (you can also use kidney or heart if you prefer) Pork heart stewed Chicken liver mousse Dr Bill Schindler has some advice for you: eat like a human. Being an omnivore, humans have evolved to eat the whole animal, so there's no need to be afraid of getting protein from meat when it's done right—you can enjoy your steak in all its glory! But don't forget that there is plenty of nutrition from eating whole animals, including muscle meat, organs and blood.

B1 vitamin deficiency is an underrated yet overlooked condition that can lead to serious chronic disease. In this interview with Elliot Overton, we discuss vitamin B1 Thiamine and why the carnivore diet may not fix all health conditions. What is vitamin B1 (Thiamine)? B1 is a very important vitamin that regulates energy metabolism, it's important for brain health, memory, cognition and neurological function. Typically we do not hear about the importance of B1 for overall health, rather the focus is on B group vitamins and B12. Why is B1 deficiency so important, and how to treat it? A deficiency in B1 can cause some major side effects, the main one being fatigue. It can also cause brain fog, peripheral nerve dysfunction, and brain diseases like Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases. The best way to treat it is through supplementation of high-dose vitamin B1. Elliot discusses what to look for regarding quality. Is the Carnivore Diet the best diet for health? Elliot Overton believes the carnivore diet is great for overall health, but may not treat serious underlying micronutrient deficiencies that may have been present for years. The carnivore diet is great as you get most of your nutrients from fatty meats, eggs, seafood and butter. However, if you still don't feel 100% after a carnivore diet or lion diet, further investigation may be needed.
