Today, I am honored and blessed to have here with me again, Dr Mindy Pelz. She is a holistic health expert, author and speaker who is on a mission to educate men and women about their bodies through her vast experience and expertise in fasting, which can help us take control of our health. She is the author of the most anticipated and upcoming book Fast Like a Girl: A Woman’s Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones, which goes on a deep dive on ketosis and how hormones have the biggest impact to achieving a healthier body. In this episode, Dr Mindy sheds light on the flaws of the current healthcare system. She believes there is no all-in-one solution even to the most basic problem, especially if it’s a problem related to our hormones. Tune in as we talk about the diet culture, educating teenage girls about hormonal changes, and the sad reality of the hormone literacy problems we are currently facing.

The Main Themes That Dr Mindy Discovered Our food intake and modern toxicity are some of the reasons why we are sick Dr Mindy doubles down that evolutionary mismatch, especially among women, is one of the main culprits of why we are sick Stress-eating work against our hormonal cycle The thrifty-gene hypothesis proposes that humans who were able to survive long periods without food were due to the thrifty gene that allowed them to move into ketosis at a much quicker rate [17:03] We Got The Diet Culture Wrong! Here’s Why Dr Mindy strongly believes that the notion that there’s one diet to keep you healthy or lose weight is erroneous. Metabolic switching helps the body to get the required energy it needs depending on the situation; the key is the constant in and out People always look for “absolutes” in healthcare, but the body doesn’t respond well to those absolutes [30:23] What Happened to Dr Mindy When She Started Fasting? Dr Mindy discovered that cycling in and out of fasting assisted her in alleviating her menopausal symptoms Identifying the quirks of hormones allowed Dr Mindy to identify the diet she needs Progesterone needs more glucose. If you want to maximize estrogen, keep your blood sugar down If you want to have a healthy ovulation, work on the microbiome and the liver, and you don’t want to go deep into ketosis Plan your diet in various phases, power phase, manifestation phase, and nurture phase [37:38] We Have a Hormonal Literacy Problem! How Do We Fix It? Dr Mindy spoke to thousands of doctors and found out that only a handful of them understood the underlying facets of hormones in our bodies She believes that we have a hormonal literacy problem, and women are the most affected as an imbalance in their hormonal cycle is being villainized Teenage girls should be taught early on about the emotional, physical, and chemical stress The language of hormones should be brought back because it helps control our mood, energy, and sleep. It helps control how we gain and lose weight. Understanding hormones means understanding the ins and outs of the body [50:58] Do You Have an Eating Disorder? Here Are Some Precautions YOU Should Know Before Fasting! If you have an eating disorder, you need to work with a health coach or your psychologist who has a deep understanding of fasting Fasting is done best when done with the community Working with the community on your fasting journey and connecting with them lifts up your oxytocin The strength of your marriage and the quality of your friendship plays an important role in living a healthier life and happiness You might want a quick fix to problems, the best way to diet or fast, but don’t lose sight of the importance of community  [58:47] Diet Failed Us! Why Understanding the Glycemic Index Matters Fast Like A Girl Book has an extensive discussion about failed diet strategies, one of them is the glycemic index You can search online for the GCM of something, but the most accurate way would be to have a CGM or blood sugar reader to have a full view of how much glucose your body is taking in Different foods have different glycemic impacts, and understanding that is important if you want to achieve a healthier body AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Jay Nixon. He is a skilled speaker, author, coach, and mentor for anyone looking to get results and permanently alter their way of life. Over the years, Jay has helped thousands of people gain confidence and be their best selves. He hosts a podcast called "Thrive Forever Fit", which covers topics related to diet, exercise, and mentality that can influence how we feel and behave. Jay’s father was killed in an accident when he was five. As a coping mechanism for the tragedy, food became his way to comfort himself and led him to overweight. But even in this condition, Jay has always been interested in fitness and nutrition. When he got older, Jay engaged to different sports that helped him on his weight journey. However, he still struggled with his mind as he is anxious about how his body looks. Nonetheless, he became a personal trainer at 17, and since then, Jay has begun to find the path to where he belongs. Ultimately, he decided to open his gym, started writing books, and began his career on coaching people. Thrive Fitness Studio is the name of his gym and everything associated with it is called Thrive Forever Fit because Jay believes we should do something consistently for as long as we live. He wanted to teach people how to live comfortably so that we wouldn't have to do radical things that have been proven to be failures. In this episode, Jay Nixon digs into the issues and wrong beliefs that hinder people from achieving a healthy body and lifestyle. Additionally, Jay emphasizes the value of having the correct mindset when losing weight and some takeaways you can implement immediately to begin your journey towards forever fitness. Tune in as we chat about the mindset around the food, myths about losing weight, advice to start right away, and the difference between intelligent work rather than hard work.

The Problem is You, Not the Food There's a lot of drug abuse on the scene in bodybuilding. There's not a lot of alcohol consumption, but there's a lot of prescription and recreational drug use. Your mindset around the food is the real issue, not the food itself. Food is more like fuel and a resource to nourish and do what your body wants. Instead of creating a short-term sustainable diet, make a lifestyle that you are comfortable maintaining forever. [17:00] The Wrong Beliefs in Losing Weight That You Should Avoid You don’t need to starve yourself.  It's a myth that there's good versus bad food. What we are talking about is real food, not with those different chemicals.  Counting macros and calories, it's not sustainable. Developed a lifestyle where you understand what food looks like and what it will do when you eat it.  People just want to be told what to do instead of learning what to do. [25:50] What is The Value of Having the Right Mindset in Losing Weight? This has nothing to do with the food, and nothing to do with being overweight. The weight loss was a side effect. It’s all about the brain and the mind. The book is about psychological reasons I learned working with clients and myself over time.  It was always the story, the mindset, or the belief systems that the client had psychologically that were the issue.  Jay uses fitness and nutrition to get people into my world, and then he unpacks the real reasons why they're there.  It will be useless to stay with the same beliefs you had before Jay. [32:16] Increase Your Thermostat: Love Yourself and Maintain Your Fitness  We have a lot of limiting beliefs, and we have a lot of self-doubts that hold us back. Sometimes, giving a compliment to someone who is not in the right frame of mind can affect them negatively.  It all starts with the psychology of what you believe you deserve. Jay’s favorite saying is that you'll never be, do or have more than you believe you deserve.  [34:20] How Can You Begin Your Lifelong Journey Towards a Healthy Lifestyle? First, Jay helps you to recognize the negative language you are using and change it. Then he will talk about the belief system of who you believe you are. Jay won't let you lie to yourself, but he won't be cruel. He will inform you in a kind manner.  If you're using the word “try”, start telling yourself, " I will do what's required. If you'll change your language, it will change your life.  If you continually break promises to yourself, that will create a lack of self-belief or a lack of confidence or just that lack of mentality.  [42:05] Hard work vs Intelligent Work: What is the Difference? He realizes that most people say they are hardworking, which made him think about its variability and subjectivity.  Most of the things he does would not prescribe as hard, but they require him to do them intelligently. There is much more value in being intelligent in food, how our body moves, and how we speak and act rather than working hard. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr. Rebecca Warren is a Functional Wellness Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in women’s sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and healing after thyroidectomy. Register your FREE spot for our upcoming 7 day keto challenge. We start January 9th 2023! Sign up here: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com  At 19, Dr. Rebecca was diagnosed with Follicular Variant Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and had a complete thyroidectomy with high-dose radiation- all of which was completely unnecessary. But she didn’t know what else to do. After having her thyroid removed, she suffered from hormone issues that Doctors would write off because all her labs looked “normal.”   She suffered from depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and period issues with no help on how to get better. It wasn’t until she decided to draw a line in the sand that no doctor was going to know more about her body than she did her health transformed. She has spent the past decade and a half studying the literature, implementing protocols, using the most up-to-date functional labs and testing, and ancestral tools (like fasting and diet variation) to not only take back her health but to help thousands of men and women to do the same.

BiOptimizers Kapex Special Offer: www.kenergize.com/ketokamp Use the code ketokamp10 for 10% off Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 Dr. Rebecca Explains Why Food Is NOT Fuel Many people have an unhealthy relationship with food. Your body needs diversity in how you eat. Unfortunately, most people will stick with the same eating method because they like how their bodies have healed. However, your body doesn’t feel better because of keto. Instead, your body feels better because it is created to heal itself. With keto, you shift your metabolism; you give your body this new form of fuel that it can use efficiently. Now, your body is healing itself! If food were healing, you wouldn’t see healing when you fast. Remember, healing comes from the inside out. Is TSH A Marker of Thyroid Health?  TSH is a pituitary hormone; it can have a delay if there's a conversion issue. People don’t talk about cell receptor sensitivity regarding thyroid hormones. Cell receptor sensitivity going down, liver congestion, gut issues, and liver issues will impact thyroid health. However, TSH will not pick up on it until it’s severe because it’s a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone. If you have other issues in the body, TSH will not always pick them up. If you have the symptoms of thyroid issues, then your doctor needs to pay attention regardless of your TSH markers.    Which Labs Will Be Best To Determine Your Thyroid Health? Dr. Rebecca will still test TSH because it’s a piece of the overall puzzle. From the thyroid, you need to know T4. The thyroid will predominantly make T4. You will get a better idea of thyroid hormone production levels by looking at your free T4 levels. This number will tell you if you have free available hormones to utilize. If you are on thyroid medications, you should also check your total T4 levels. Free T4 will go to the liver and the gut then you will get T3. So, you will also want to know your T3 levels. Plus, you will want free T3 and reverse T3. Most likely, your doctor will not test for all these; it’s time to find a different doctor! Fasting and Ketosis Will Give Your Thyroid A Much-Needed Break T3 works in the mitochondria; it is needed for ATP production. Mitochondrial health and thyroid health go hand in hand. Getting into ketosis will be incredible for your health! Even if you have a thyroid issue, you can see metabolic changes through keto because utilizing ketone bodies for energy is more efficient for ATP production. In a way, you give your thyroid a break while still producing energy efficiently. Fasting is also incredible for the thyroid through cellular repair and generating healthy cells for the thyroid. What Is A Good Fasting Schedule For Someone With An Underactive Thyroid?  Focus on making sure that you know how to eat enough before you start fasting. If you have sex hormone issues and thyroid hormone issues, you probably have been too restrictive for too long because you are not losing weight. So, you need to do keto and eat high-protein and high-fat foods. Dr. Rebecca will have people track their macros because they don’t realize how little they eat. A 16-hour fast and an 8-hour eating window will be beneficial when you start. Many people who have a thyroid issue and jump straight into fasting get frustrated because they won’t see excellent results. Once you have some fasting success, you’ll try a dinner-to-dinner fast and see how you feel. Lastly, you’ll do a 3-day water fast to reset your hormones. Questions and Answers   Does age matter?   However, you will have more nodules showing up on your thyroid as you get older.  You can still feel amazing even if you are older, don’t let age restrict you.  How do you address sugar addiction?  An underlying issue is always making you prone to sugar addiction.  Low progesterone issues go unaddressed in women all the time. Sugar addiction means something needs to be addressed. Advice for someone who wants to take fewer thyroid medications.  It takes six weeks for your hormones to normalize, and you will want to retest.  The dose of your medication is unique to you. You need to advocate for how you feel and how you function.  If your sensitivity is down, you might need more meds than someone else. However, the doctor will look at your labs and say otherwise.

Lack of REM sleep results in nighttime erections, which can impair erectile function. Sudden death is the first indicator of heart disease in 25% of men. Erectile dysfunction in males is an indication that there is underlying cardiovascular disease. [21:18] What Can We Do About Low Testosterone? Simply Tips to Raise Testosterone Naturally Processed foods have an impact on testosterone production in the body. The body only creates the amount of testosterone needs based on the activity. The testicles are located outside the body because sperm and testosterone production occur best around 97.1 degrees. Physical activity is essential for raising testosterone production. [28:10] The Best Ways to Test Testosterone Levels Testosterone levels can be measured using saliva and blood. The testicle produces four to seven milligrams of testosterone every day but does not store it. It immediately releases it into the bloodstream and attaches testosterone to protein. Testosterone is a wonderful hormone, but there are repercussions if it is taken incorrectly. [37:12] Testosterone therapy: Good or Bad For You?  Just because you start testosterone therapy doesn't imply you have to do it for the rest of your life. Clomid is a testosterone supplement with no side effects that can help safeguard testicular function. In terms of fertility, Beta-hCG stimulates testosterone and sperm production. [41:12] Testosterone Boosting Supplements to Naturally Raise T Levels When manufacturing supplements, use substances that have been scientifically proven to work. Support: a testosterone-boosting supplement, as well as DHEA: a testosterone precursor, can help men with low testosterone levels increase their testosterone levels. [41:12] Does High Levels of Testosterone Increase Rick of Prostate Cancer?  Prostate cancer is not caused by testosterone. Men with low testosterone have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer and have more aggressive prostate cancer than men with normal or high testosterone. A rise in testosterone lowers your risk of diabetes. AND MUCH MORE!

Instead of needing an invasive surgery, you can take a stimulatory blend of essential oils. It gets through the skin and works quickly. Essential oils help to digest food and absorb nutrients. [21:52] Having Trouble Sleeping? Solve it with this Method -        Oils can be utilized to restore the equilibrium of various organ systems and brain regions. -        Apply the oils right above the ear since the skin is thinner there. -        You can apply any blend of oils that feels relaxing. People mostly use citrus sprout blends. -        To feel less worried, close your right nostril, inhale through your left, and smell anything such as orange.  [26:24] What does the Gallbladder Blend Can Do? -        The blend is designed to tonify the gallbladder and thin the bile. -        It topically overlays the energetic signature of what the gallbladder is supposed to feel like. -        It is one more tool you can apply to return the gallbladder to balance.   [32:15] Importance of Lymphatic System and Ways To Get It Going  -        The lymph is critical to ensuring that the garbage leaves the body. -        Your lymph moves when you move, so exercise, yoga, and any breathing practice help the lymph move. -        Sleep is important because an aspect of your lymphatic system called the glymphatic system, which is a kind of brain carwash, is only active at night. [37:17] Histamine intolerance: Return it to Balance Through this Blend -        If you had mold exposure in your house, the mold could linger. And that can cause you to be overactive too many things -        You don't want it turned off. You just want to modulate it.             -        You can use the blend in several ways. You can use it to support sinus drainage and mold removal. -        Put the histamine balance on the back of your ears or the back of your neck, and it will work without exhausting you.  [42:45] Don’t Just Mix Your Own. Here’s the reason why -        Sometimes, it is more expensive than just getting pre-made. -        Jodi gives you ready-made remedies that many practitioners are already using, so you don't need to worry about mixing your own. -         If you're new to this,  just try it by buying an orange and smelling it through your left nostril.

Today, I am blessed to have for a THIRD time, Dr. Don Clum. He graduated from Life University in Marietta, GA in 1997 with a degree in Human Nutrition. He then moved to Life Chiropractic College West in California, where he graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2000. This originally aired in July 2021. After graduation, Dr. Clum moved to San Jose, Costa Rica where he was invited to work with the Costa Rican Olympic Committee and Athletes. Dr. Clum participated in the National, Central American and Caribbean and Central American Games as the team chiropractor and as the official chiropractor for two professional soccer teams. As a frequent guest on National Television and Radio, Dr. Clum was influential in bringing the gift of holistic health care to the people of Central America and worked with the government programs, instituting W.H.O. procedures and working directly with the indigenous populations of Costa Rica. He was sought after as a speaker and has presented to various professional sports teams, universities, medical groups, medical and chiropractic schools, businesses and government agencies. Dr. Clum was instrumental in forming the first Colegio or “Board” and enacting the first legislation recognizing chiropractic as a licensed and legal healing profession in Costa Rica. In this episode, Dr. Clum opens the show by revealing why the 'calories in, calories out' method of eating is bogus. Plus, he tells us how glycogen works and the reason that too many people oversimplify it. Dr. Clum explains why people who burn more calories are happier, and he gives an overview of the blood markers you should use to measure insulin health. Tune in as we chat about the problem with snacking, how to know if you're fasting too much, and we dig deep into adrenals, insulin, and cortisol.

Humans are dynamic open systems. First of all, the accuracy for calories is fundamentally off. There's automatically up to a 25% error rate for calories. Plus, our body will process calories differently depending on what they are. Sugars will be released into your body differently depending on your gut bacteria. [07:30] The Glycogen Concept Is Flawed – We Oversimplify It We never tap out our glycogen. You don't have to reduce glycogen by a significant amount if you're metabolically flexible. The glycogen in our liver is there for our body. Glycogen appears to be pretty steady no matter what you do. You don't have to deplete all your glycogen to go into fat burning. [17:30] People Who Burn More Calories Are Happier People who burn more calories are happier because of different hormonal states. Your body will interpret nutrients in your gut. Food is not fuel – it’s information. Your body doesn’t handle processed food very well, even protein powders. [24:10] Blood Markers You Can Use To Monitor Insulin Health You can do serum insulin, which is fasting insulin. You want that number as low as possible. This number should be around 2 or 3. When you eat, that number can blow up to seven times. If you start at 20, then you’ll go up to 140. If you keep doing that each day, then you have a problem. Most Americans eat in a fifteen-hour window – they are eating from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed. [26:05] Why Snacking Could Be Damaging Your Health Snacking causes a lot of issues. People are snacking between 19 and 23 times a day. If you are constantly digesting, then you aren’t recycling. When your body is resting, then it is in autophagy. So, your cells will start to work better. Autophagy allows new cells to come in and replace cells that have died. [31:40] Signs You Could Be Fasting Too Often Clum teaches progressive fasting rotations. Growth will start to kick in after a fast. You could lose 97% of your new cells if you don’t end a fast in the right way. It is rare that you lose lean body muscle from fasting. You have to have a body fat percentage of 5% or less to tap into muscle during a fast. [34:10] Does It Matter What Foods You Break A Fast With? What breaks the fast depends on why you're doing the fast. The food you eat will matter up to two weeks after you fast. Eat foods that are insulin friendly. Plus, exercise is a key component of repairing your cells. [50:45] Quitting Junk Food Causes Withdrawals Like Drug Addiction When an addict stops drinking, they will be lightheaded, irritable, feel terrible, shake, and sweat. When some people skip a meal, they feel the exact same way. Food fuels the addiction pathway. In fact, food is more addictive than drugs. Food hits dopamine and serotonin. Every time insulin gets shot out, so does serotonin. [55:30] Dr. Clum Does Not Encourage C-Peptide Level Testing If triglycerides are over 100, there's an insulin issue. Over 150 is a metabolic syndrome marker. Insulin resistance is inversely related to vitamin D. If your vitamin D is low, you have insulin resistance. Insulin will hold down vitamin D. [60:10] The Relationship Between Adrenals, Insulin, and Cortisol We beat up the adrenals a lot as the culprit for fatigue and adrenal fatigue. However, only a third of the cortisol is actually made in the adrenal. The brain makes a third of the cortisol because it is highly sensitive to inflammation. It makes cortisol to keep inflammation levels as low as possible. When you burn fat, it’s an inflammatory process. We will recycle about 1.3% of our cells a day. What matters is how efficient you are in the process. [73:45] An Overweight Diabetic Only Has To Lose One Gram For an overweight type two data to become a normal person, how much weight do they have to lose? People think it’s 10% of their body weight. However, the answer is one gram. The gram has to come out of the pancreas. If a 350 lb. person loses one gram from the pancreas, they will no longer be a diabetic. AND MUCH MORE!

We have Rachel Varga with us, and we will talk about skin health. She will tell us what inspired her to make a career in the health space. She grew up in a humble home and learned a lot from her parents' experiences; she learned to use her hands from her carpenter father and long hours of work from her nurse mother. She graduated from nursing school, worked at a high-security prison palliative care, and realized she wanted to be a skin doctor after a lot of in-depth thought. She became an expert in her field, taught other doctors, and now she has gotten into research. She aims to inspire others to be more beautiful and radiant through body, mind, and spirit energy and detoxification. 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

Without gut testing, you will miss the mark. This is biohacking, and this is what changed Rachel's life. From a gut perspective, she also includes detoxing and cleaning protocols every full moon to keep things like yeast, fungi, toxins, and parasites out of the system. This transformed her life physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Through this fast of food, sleep, sex, and alcohol, she felt changed. This event positively affected her skin and cleared it. It even removed PMS systems from her cycle. [13:25] Skin health Skin health is an excellent way to know about somebody's overall health Some cues give away about one's gut through skin issues that they have The first is the eyes: puffy eyes could indicate inflammation. The inner eyelid area can also mean that something is going on inside. When you start consuming a lot of sugar, alcohol, and dairy, if it's not something you are used to, you will notice the effects on your skin after a couple of days. Puffiness, redness to the nose, acne, effects on nails, etc., are some of the things that may pop up. Brain fog is another significant consequence of bad health.   [19:22] Supplements A product with omegas and other essential nutrients from a particular company This company has been working for the past fifteen years This product will give you a golden type of glow, and it helps with pigmentation Rachel did a study for six to eight weeks with her cohort, and the results were the same: reduction in puffiness, reduction in redness, reduction in darkness, pigmentation fading, and so on. Photography and research are so important to know for sure. [22:27] What is the reason behind dark circles? The number one reason why guys complain is the eyes. The skin around the eyes, especially the lower eyelid area, is as thin as an eggshell. You could be lacking collagen, hydration, healthy fats, etc. Skin care comes, and sun protection can help. Other solutions include Vitamin C, Vitamin A, dermal rolling, and getting lasers done. [28:40] Foods that are bad for your skin and why? Dairy is related to gut disturbance and causes inflammation, damaging the skin. Gluten is also inflammatory for most people and causes the same problem. Alcohol taxes your liver and indirectly affects your gut. Raw kale and spinach are on the list as well. Vegetables and corn oils also make it to the list and shouldn't be consumed or put on the skin. [39:21] What are some ways to tighten the skin after weight loss? It has to be surgery often, but if you put in the work, you can make it work without it. If you do the work and make good life decisions, you can make it possible. A positive mindset will also enable you to see improvements. Heavy lifting and derma rolling can help. Derma rolling is a decades-old practice, and you can have more collagen with the consistent use of this particular tool. Even senior citizens between the age of sixty and eighty have seen positive results after its use. Lasers are also an excellent option, but they are costly. [44:45] What does Rachel have on her website? All of her favorite things: personal care products, grooming products, hair growth stimulating effects, skincare products, and so much more. She works with a lot of brands, and she narrows them down. She even has quality supplements that are clean of toxins and work perfectly. She even gave everyone a fifteen percent discount. [46:40] How can you get rid of cellulite? Every time you take a bath, take it with one of her pineapple oils. Pick up a rounded ceramic product, take it into the bath, and use it against your skin. Be consistent to see results. AND MUCH MORE! Rachel Varga's website: https://rachelvarga.ca/  Use code KETOKAMP for 15% off site wide.
