Why You Are Vitamin D Deficient, Symptoms of Low Vitamin D, 4 Ways to Increase Vitamin D - Ben Azadi KKP 105

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joel Evan. Before Joel became a coach for empowering people and sharing ‘biohacks’ across the globe, he had his share of obstacles to overcome. From having an abnormal bone growth in his leg as a young child, to feeling lost and with no sense of purpose after high school and college, to starting a business twice and failing, and being $20k in debt, Joel’s story is the perfect example of how anybody can overcome the obstacles in their life and achieve greatness. Fast forward a few short years, and Joel was featured in the hit Netflix show, A User’s Guide to Cheating Death, and launched his podcast The Hacked Life. He is a high performance life coach, a health coach, and speaker. He’s also a Neufit practitioner that uses a machine called a Neubie which utilizes a direct current electrical stimulation to provide the body the right signals, so your body has the opportunity to heal itself from injury, build muscle, and create good health. Joel is also a martial artist and a black belt in Tony Ramos Kajukenbo and has been training in various martial arts for over 20 years. Joel has been a first responder for over 13 years and understands the life threatening, high stake, stressful environment that debilitates many in the profession and has developed skills and systems to promote balance. While many are running away from the threat, Joel is running towards it. In this episode, Joel opens up about what inspired him to get into the health space. Sadly, Joel realized that our healthcare system only cares about the effects of something rather than a cause. So, Joel set out to help all sorts of people, specifically, weight loss for men. However, Joel doesn’t necessarily help men lose weight. Instead, he helps them transform their habits, lifestyle, and beliefs. Luckily, Joel gives us tips on creating lasting habits, controlling our beliefs, and he reveals his favorite biohacks. Tune in to hear Joel’s book recommendations.

The lack of that self-worth issue also fuels Joel and drives him to get better and do more. After having his first son, Joel saw that his son was not flourishing – it didn’t make sense. Joel knew there had to be a better way to be healthy. Sadly, our current health system only looks at the effects instead of the cause. “There are so many people suffering that shouldn't be, and that just drives me nuts.” -Joel Evan [07:30] What Joel Would Tell Someone To Focus On Who Is Trying To Get Healthy Joel likes to help men with weight loss. However, when you help somebody with weight loss, there are so many other things going on with that person. A lot of times, Joel will help people emotionally and who they become as a person after their weight loss. After seeing Joel, people have a complete transformation. It's not necessarily about hitting the goal, but who we become along the way. [10:50] Joel Reveals The Best Ways To Create Healthy Habits The first step in any kind of habit is you need to have awareness. Next, make your habits tiny, easy, and achievable. The fastest way to get to a habit is you want to anchor it to something that you're already doing. For instance, brushing your teeth is a great anchor because you do that every single day. If you want to start reading more, then after you brush your teeth, open up the book and close the book. That’s all you have to do! Eventually, you’ll start reading a page every night. Down the road, that page will turn into a chapter every night. [14:10] How Your Beliefs Are Playing A Role In Your Health Creating a lifestyle will require a foundation. You should be able to tune back in and align yourself with core fundamentals and then get back and do what you got to do. People don't realize how much their beliefs play a role in their health and day-to-day life. As you go about your day, ask yourself why you do what you do. People don’t question you because they are aligned with you. During Covid, people believed that if they didn't wear a mask, they would get sick. Well, if you take on that belief, you probably will get sick. Once you balance the body, the body can go and do whatever it wants. [22:10] Why Joel Recommends Wearing A Continuous Glucose Monitor If you're someone who is really interested in losing weight, then a CGM is the best way to get clean data on what foods are doing to you. Food sensitivities can have issues on the downstream effects in your body, cortisol, and anything like that. Joel loves coffee. However, it was pretty frightening to see what a cold brew coffee did to his blood glucose. Joel even saw 180 from drinking cold brew on his CGM. [29:50] Joel Reveals His Favorite Biohack - The NeuFit System The NeuFit System is one of Joel’s favorite biohacks. One of the most influential and transformative ways to help people recover from pain and injury is to work with something often overlooked in the traditional medical model - the nervous system. The NeuFit System uses technology to help the body become more efficient with its own processes. Sadly, traditional rehab and training often have poor results because there is not enough of the right type of stimulation. That’s why Joel loves NeuFit because our organs vibrate at a certain frequency or current. Joel recommends reading Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management: https://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Specific-Microcurrent-Management-2010-12-03/dp/B01K0TS16K/benazadi-20 Also, check out NeuFit: https://www.neu.fit/homeold  [36:45] The Top Four Books That Can Make An Impact On Your Life First, Joel recommends reading Keto Flex: The 4 Secrets to Reduce Inflammation, Burn Fat & Reboot Your Metabolism: https://www.amazon.com/Keto-Flex-Secrets-Inflammation-Metabolism-ebook/dp/B08YFM83DD/benazadi-20 Next, Joel recommends reading Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Giant-Within-Immediate-Emotional-ebook/dp/B001EM101Q/benazadi-20 Lastly, Joel says to read The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed on Your Own Terms: https://www.amazon.com/Code-Extraordinary-Mind-Unconventional-Redefine-ebook/dp/B0182SMOBE/ref=sr_1_3?crid=PE8PBY2N176K&dchild=1&/benazadi-20 Bonus!

Dr. Sloane provides state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments for urinary tract and bladder disorders, enlarged prostate (benign prostate hyperplasia), prostate cancer and urinary incontinence. Patients seek his expertise to treat erectile dysfunction and other sexual performance issues. Dr. Bruce Sloane is well known not only for his technical ability, but for his sensitivity, compassion and high attention to detail; hallmarks of his private practice. Certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners and the American Board of Urology, he is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the Philadelphia College of Physicians. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, Dr. Sloane received his medical degree from Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, NY.

In this episode, Dr. Sloane opens the show by explaining how he became passionate about men’s health. As a urologist, Dr. Sloane seeks to help men with all facets of their lives. Then, Dr. Sloane digs deep into erectile dysfunction and what will help with men’s sexual health. Nitric oxide is a crucial molecule for erections – Dr. Sloane reveals how you can naturally increase those levels within your body.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [01:20] Why Dr. Sloane Wanted To Get Involved With Men’s Health In medical school, Dr. Sloane realized that the doctors having a good time in life were urologists. So, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in urology. Later, Dr. Sloane wanted to promote more wellness. As a urologist, it was a perfect fit. Also, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in age management medicine, functional medicine, and peptides. [07:20] What Dr. Sloane Looks At When Treating Erectile Dysfunction First, Dr. Sloane checks free and total testosterone levels. However, the first test is not accurate. Nitric oxide is a key molecule for erections. When you hit 50, your levels of nitric oxide getting produced by the endothelial in your body decline drastically. Nitric oxide is a very important molecule in terms of just overall cardiovascular health, especially with erections. Also, Dr. Sloane will have a conversation about diet and exercise with his patients. [10:05] How To Boost Nitric Oxide Without Supplementation Diet is a big one when it comes to increasing nitric oxide levels. Sloane recommends adding these foods to your diet: Arugula Beets Bok choy After adding those foods to your diets, there are some other ways to improve nitric oxide levels: Exercise Good sleep Nose breathing [12:45] What You Can Do To Improve Your Prostate Health Lots of greens are going to be good for your prostate. A good diet with minimal sugar and carbs will be good for your prostate health. Sloane recommends checking out these supplements: https://theralogix.com/ Prostate cancer is genetically related. So make sure that you are getting tested regularly. Genetic screening and genetic counseling could be a great way of prevention.   [19:55] How Porn Brain Is Affecting Our Quality of Life Porn brain has been debated; some people do not feel that exists. However, Dr. Sloane says that porn is addicting. Men have to mimic the porn in their real sexual life, but they can't. So, they have a hard time getting turned on. Plus, porn leads to desensitization. Even with Instagram, it’s an unattainable goal and a real issue. [22:50] All About GAINSWave And The Benefits of Using It GAINSWave is the premium brand of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for ED, performed by our network of highly-trained medical providers. It has been used in Europe for many years. The waves will break up any blockages the blood vessels have. Most of the time, ED is a blood vessel problem. GAINSWave will increase blood flow to the penis. It works about 75-80% of the time, and it's not covered by insurance. The worst thing that can happen is that it does not work. You have to be in good health in order to respond to GAINSWave. Learn more about GAINSWave: https://gainswave.com/ [30:15] The Role That Sleep Plays When It Comes To Your Sexual Health Sleep is a big deal. You have to maximize sleep as good as you can for what your body needs. We have to gear the conversation of sleep to your sleep habits. If you have poor sleep habits, you will run into problems. Sleep problems will make sexual issues worse.   [34:40] The Reasons That Dr. Sloane Is Such A Big Fan of Peptides   There are certain peptides, when given to the body, make your body do what it should be doing that it's not doing right now. So peptides could make your body create growth hormones. Peptides are signaling molecules. You can use peptides for healing and inflammation.   [37:20] The Four Main Things You Should Do After Listening To This Episode Stop using Google for everything. Eat real food. Exercise regularly. Personal development. Keep yourself thinking and stay ahead – don’t get lazy.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. Her approach to thyroid and hormonal health is simple but powerful: get to the cause, then support the body to heal itself. The thyroid doesn’t work on its own, so when the thyroid is off, it not only affects the entire endocrine system, but all systems within the body. This is why just getting a thyroid dysfunction diagnosis doesn’t mean you’ll ever get well, and in fact can make you worse over time. Likewise, hormonal imbalances indicate something is systemically wrong in the body. In Chattanooga and virtually around the world, Dr. Rebecca coaches her clients on optimal thyroid care via customized plans utilizing lab work and testing, supplements, and functional nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Warren gives a massive overview of the thyroid and what you need to know about Reverse T3. Plus, we chat about if you should try keto and fasting with thyroid issues and the danger of staying in ketosis for too long.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz. Lauren and Renee grew up in a health-driven family that prioritized the fundamentals of wellness and self-care (don’t worry, there was lots of mac n’ cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!). Their father, Gene Sambataro, The Original Biohacker and pioneer of Holistic Dentistry, taught them the importance of individualization and experimentation from a very young age. Coming together as health entrepreneurs, Renee a Certified Nutritional Consultant and Holistic Lifestyle Coach with a Master’s degree in Nutrition, and Lauren, a Broadway performer, Corrective Exercise specialist and Functional Health Coach, feel a strong passion and drive to not only share each of their journeys towards wellness, but their strategy and motivation to discover our unique bodies through the world of biohacking. Their podcast, the Biohacker Babes, aims to create insight into the body’s natural healing abilities, strengthen your intuition, and empower you with techniques and modalities to optimize your health and wellness. In this episode, Lauren and Renee reveal how they got into the biohacking space. Then, we jump right into why stabilizing blood sugar levels is critical for your weight loss journey. Lauren and Renee also discuss other essential tools for your overall health journey, like increasing thermogenesis, building lean muscle mass, and supporting fatty acid metabolism. Lastly, Lauren and Renee speak about the importance of decreasing inflammation in your body to enjoy the efforts of biohacking. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

They joked that he was doing bizarre things in the living room. Their dad was experimenting and open to ways that affect his biology, health, and longevity. He would utilize vibration plates and infrared saunas way before they became popular. Eventually, they started paying attention to their own bodies and started to notice what biohacks work best with their bodies. “Now I'm 34, and I feel better now than I did when I was 24.” -Renee   [10:15] Renee and Lauren Give Their Definitions of Biohacking The definition of biohacking changes all of the time. In fact, there's a lot of misconceptions about biohacking. However, biohacking is more for women than men because women are more complex. Biohacking is disrupting a pattern. It also is anything that helps you control your biology. Plus, biohacking can come from two different directions. You can biohack your way out of an illness, or you biohack your way into a thriving lifespan. Biohacking will optimize the aging process. [15:00] Why Stabilizing Blood Sugar Levels Is Important For Losing Weight We have stressors coming at us left and right, not just from food but from emotional stuff and environmental stuff. Renee and Lauren have both really gotten into the blood glucose testing because it is a huge variable that's overlooked. We are designed to be fat-burning machines and go extended periods of time without food. Just like you need exercise recovery, you need recovery from eating. Blood sugar is a sign that there's inflammation in the body. Nothing in the body will be in balance if there is inflammation. When we have too much glucose, we end up storing more fat that we end up burning. [17:20] All About Increasing Thermogenesis In The Body We rarely experience extreme temperatures. When we hit cold temperatures, it helps us to tap into the fat to actually burn. Shivering and cold plunges can increase your thermogenesis – your ability to burn fat to keep you warm. Green tea extract is a supplement that can also help increase your thermogenesis. Humans had to learn how to survive in thirty-degree weather. If we use these genes to our benefit, we can become fat-burning machines. [19:00] How To Support Fatty Acid Metabolism & Why It’s Critical A lot of people have mitochondrial dysfunction. Sadly, our mitochondria are under attack. With mitochondrial dysfunction, you're not able to burn fat the way that we're designed to. Carnitine can be really helpful in adjusting that mitochondrial dysfunction. Organic Acids Test is great to look at your fatty acid metabolism. [22:35] The Best Ways To Increase Lean Muscle Mass Through Exercise The best way to increase lean muscle mass is to lift heavy things. Women should not be afraid to lift heavy things – we need muscle. Plus, muscle is great for brain health, longevity, and mood. Renee likes to use creatine and amino acids to help increase lean muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the easier it is to burn fat when you’re just sitting around. [29:45] Some of The Best Ways That You Can Reduce Belly Fat To reduce belly fat, you have to remove inflammation. One way to reduce inflammation is by cutting out industrial seed oils. You really have to pull back on all of these chronic stressors. Once you have reduced the stress, then you can get in there, move things around, and make some changes. If you're skipping the fundamentals, then no biohack is going to work. [31:20] Why Poor Vagal Tone Will Lead To Brain Fog Vagal tone is a measure of cardiovascular function that facilitates adaptive responses to environmental challenges. If you are in sympathetic overdrive all day, you will suffer from brain fog. A lot of people don't realize they're in this sympathetic state all day. Our bodies aren't meant to be in that state all the time. It’s our fight or flight mode - all the blood goes to our arms or legs, so we can run or fight. To support the vagal tone, you can gargle, hum, or sing. [36:50] Neural Inflammation Can Also Be Causing Your Brain Fog Chronic inflammation throughout the entire body is aging us; it's making us feel sick, tired, and fat. Our brain can be inflamed as well as other parts of our body. If your brain is inflamed, your gut is inflamed. Plus, you will have brain fog. So, target inflammation from a whole-body perspective. To control inflammation, stop ingesting these industrial seed oils. [42:00] Actionable Steps You Can Take Today To Decrease Your Toxic Load Look at your personal care products and find more natural and organic products. It’s the same thing with cleaning products. Find more organic products to clean your home with. Look at the EWG website: https://www.ewg.org/ On the EWG website, you can look up how toxic the products are that you buy. Clean water will be critical to decrease your toxic load – find a reliable filter.

She started her career in nutrition by working in the ICU. Many people came into the ICU for lifestyle-related chronic conditions. For instance, people would be in the ICU due to an urgent amputation because of uncontrolled diabetes. At the ICU, Kara would see really severe problems that could have been prevented in the first place. So, Kara wanted to catch these issues way earlier in a way that was meaningful. After discovering CGMs, Kara realized how powerful of a tool they are for multiple reasons: They give us continuous insight into our metabolic health. CGMs are motivating for people. Lastly, the data you receive is personalized and actually works!   [06:35] What You Need To Know Before Getting A CGM The CGM is a small device, about the size of a quarter. It’s a medical device, so you need a prescription in order to receive it from your doctor. Sadly, they're most likely not going to do it unless you're a diabetic case. If you're generally a healthy person who wants to stay healthy, the chances of your doctor writing you a prescription is slim to none. The device goes on the back of the arm, you push the button, and it’s in there. It uses a needle for insertion. The needle is removed, and the only thing that's left below the surface of your skin is a flexible microfilament. The devices are factory calibrated, so there's no blood needing to be drawn. [10:45] What Should Your Blood Glucose Levels Be? When you’re thinking about fasting glucose, Kara recommends 70 to 90 range milligrams per deciliter. If you Google, “what's a healthy fasting glucose level?” It will probably tell you 70 to 100. There is research that indicates when we get to that 90 to 100 range, we're starting to see some increased risks. Shoot for 70 – 90 most of the time. After a meal, we want to see it returned back to baseline values, usually in that two-hour mark. Check how high your levels went after you ate – aim for 140 or less. On a keto diet, it shouldn’t go above 120. [15:00] Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses And Non-Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses After Exercise Our glucose can spike, and our body can deal with that glucose spike without utilizing insulin. The spike we get from exercise happens after a very high-intensity workout, or you're doing something rather strenuous. It makes sense that you're going to have a glucose spike because your current supply of energy in the body is not enough to meet the demands that you're placing it under. With exercise, we're simulating stress hormones, but we're also breaking down glycogen stores. The exercise is demanding energy, and it's getting used right away. The reason your body is stimulating a glucose response with high-intensity exercise is that it needs it. [20:35] When You Are Chronically Sleep Deprived, You Will Have Higher Levels of Cortisol The Next Morning When we think about optimizing glucose values, we always talk about diet, exercise, stress, and sleep; they're equal components of the picture. Sleep is something we really have to pay attention to. Poor glucose levels will affect the quality of your sleep. Also, a bad night of sleep is definitely going to affect your glucose values the next day. [24:30] What Happens When You Break A Fast With A High Carbohydrate Meal There's a lot of psychology that goes on with fasting – people will have a cheat meal after fasting. When you do that, you ruin most of the benefits. If you break a fast with carbs, you can see glucose levels higher than they've ever been for two days straight. Eating carbs after a fast is not a good strategy. Instead, break a fast with protein. The longer the fast, the stricter you want to be. [26:40] Why You Should Go For A Walk After You Eat A Meal   Walking after a meal can really dramatically stabilize glucose values. Most of our circulating glucose in the system is going to get picked up by the skeletal muscle. Gently stimulating your muscles and moving can make a really big difference. Walking is also good for mental health and stress reduction. [28:30] Other Biohacks You Can Do To Decrease Glucose Levels Cold and heat exposure work in different ways. Both will lower glucose over time. Cold therapy will stimulate brown fat. When you're hot and sweating a lot, that might cause the glucose to be elevated during the sauna session, but it should lower glucose values overall later in the day. The benefits we get from exercising can be duplicated when we also are doing sauna therapy. In addition, berberine is the most beneficial supplement for lowering glucose values. Plus, apple cider vinegar will help lower glucose values. Try a little bit of vinegar with water before a meal. You can also drizzle it on a salad. [33:30] The Dawn Phenomenon: What You Can Do About It You're going to potentially see a little bit of a glucose bump in the early morning hours. For most people, that occurs between about 4 to 8 am. It’s your body’s natural alarm clock. For some people, when they first wake up, glucose levels are highest in the day. There is no evidence to suggest that this glucose bump is a bad thing. [45:25] What To Expect When Working With NutriSense When you join NutriSense, you'll receive a CGM.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Sonya Jensen. She has been working with women for over a decade, inspiring them to be the best versions of themselves and helping them gain freedom from the chains of society, their hormones, and the mantra that continuously plays in so many of their minds, I'm not enough. Dr. Jensen has made it clear that healing hormones isn't just a job for the physical body but the heart, mind, and even the soul. The experiences a woman has from the womb onward, dictate her thoughts and beliefs about herself and life. These beliefs, in turn, dictate the actions and communication pathways of her hormones, creating her personality and, therefore, creating her life. Dr. Jensen details the science behind hormones and the wisdom behind womanhood, illustrating how the dance between the two makes way for either a woman's healing or her suffering. In this episode, Dr. Jensen dives deep into her trauma story and how she felt victimized as a child. Luckily, Dr. Jensen turned her life around and started to feel hopeful and empowered. Dr. Jensen speaks about the inspiration behind her book, Woman Unleashed: Release Your Story, Revive Your Hormones & Reclaim Your Freedom. Plus, we dive into how trauma can start before the womb and what you can do if you’re feeling symptoms that may be related to your past traumas. Finally, tune in as we chat about healing your body and how keto should line up with your menstrual cycle. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

She did not feel free to be herself or think the way she wanted to think and express that fully. At the moment, Dr. Jensen was crying and crying. Earlier in the day, Dr. Jensen’s mother had read her journal. Sadly, Dr. Jensen started to recognize that nothing was hers. Her mind, her body, and her thoughts were not hers. Jensen found a safety pin and carved “I hate life” into her arm. All of a sudden, something shifted; Dr. Jensen realized that she didn’t need to be a victim. [05:05] The Inspiration Behind Woman Unleashed: Release Your Story, Revive Your Hormones & Reclaim Your Freedom Through Dr. Jensen’s own healing with her traumas that she’s been through and navigating healing for women, Dr. Jensen realized that this conversation isn't happening enough. We do not understand that our history, our thoughts about ourselves, our belief systems, and the things that we have been told since being in the womb will influence our health today. The more we speak about trauma, the easier it becomes for women and men to understand that healing is possible, that the potential is there, and hope is there. We're a culture of wanting always to move away from our pain and needing ways to distract ourselves and discount ourselves. “The more we dive into ourselves and discover ourselves, we understand that there's just this vast potential of connection there and healing.” -Dr. Jensen [07:00] How We Are Sentient Before Conception And In The Womb Jensen recommends reading The Secret Life of Babies: How Our Prebirth and Birth Experiences Shape Our World: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Babies-Prebirth-Experiences/dp/1583948031/benazadi-20 When we're in the womb, we're listening and understanding. Around 18 to 19 weeks, the auditory system is there and is trying to figure out what the world will be like when we're outside of the womb. Plus, we're getting information from all the hormones that our mother is secreting. Our brains are all developed for survival. If we don't fit into the tribe that we're moving into, it will be really hard to survive. The brain and the body are so smart that they're going to mold themselves to fit in. [08:50] Understanding And Treating Traumatic Stress & The Scope Of Its Impact On Society Another recommendation from Dr. Jensen is The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/B08TX585RN/benazadi-20 If you’re suffering from a trauma in the body, ask yourself: when did you feel that you weren't safe? Our womb and our uterus is a space that's supposed to be for creativity, for abundance. However, with past trauma, our bodies can suffer. Your reactions today are really from a subconscious imprint from before. [12:30] The Reasons We Create Stories & How To Create Stories That Will Better Serve You There are different reasons why we create stories. We create a story in the womb to help us survive the environment we're going in. Stories are beautiful; they hold tradition and culture. Plus, stories can be amazing learning opportunities. Also, stories are influencing how we navigate our world, what we believe about ourselves, and the lens that we put on when we perceive the world around us. When we're trapped in the story that we've created to survive, we're not really connected to our own center and our own soul’s story. [16:25] The Tools That Dr. Jensen Loves To Use & How You Can Apply These Tools Today Yoga and meditation for Dr. Jensen was a lifesaver. Yoga doesn't have to be buying a yoga mat and doing a yoga class. Instead, yoga could be connecting with nature, it could be cooking a meal, and feeling completely connected with yourself. Physical yoga creates these movements in our body that we don't normally do. Plus, it creates this awakening and certain nerve endings and connections between organs and our breath. It starts to repattern our brain to think differently. Often, we're stuck in our mind, and we're operating from our mind. However, yoga can bring you back to your heart. [21:45] The Most Common Symptom That Women Deal With On A Daily Basis The most common symptom that Dr. Jensen treats is anxiety. There's usually an event that's created that anxiety, there is perception, there's a belief, and then that turns into deficiencies in our hormones. When a woman has anxiety, her gut system is also not working as well. Women need to understand where the anxiety is coming from and that it's not who she is. When we're thriving off of that stress, the anxieties show up, the gut issues show up, the inability to be very intimate shows up. [27:20] The Most Significant Lesson That Dr. Jensen Learned From Writing Her First Book The healing never stops. There is always another layer to your healing journey. Also, there is never one answer for all of us. Lastly, healing is a journey, and we don't have to get there right away. [29:35] How To Navigate Keto So You Can Have A Healthier Monthly Cycle Variation is key if you have a heavy menstrual cycle. For the first two weeks of your cycle, you can go heavy with keto. The last two weeks, you want to up your healthy carbs. You can also use seeds. Eat pumpkin and flax seeds the first two weeks of your cycle. Green tea can also be helpful for heavy periods.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Mollie McGlocklin. Mollie is on a mission to change the conversation around sleep. She is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, a company that optimizes how people sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. Her obsession with sleep came after “scratching her own itch” when her lifelong poor sleep habits progressed to a challenging bout of insomnia. With a background in psychology & human behavior, she went deep down the rabbit hole to solve her sleep disturbances. She became fascinated with chronobiology, and by extension, its practical applications to restore a state of homeostasis to sleep. For the past three years, she’s traveled the world testing sleep quality in different environments across the globe. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without; she’s dedicated to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In this episode, Mollie opens the show by explaining why she is at the forefront of the sleep renaissance. After suffering from insomnia and getting prescribed sleep medication, Mollie needed to figure out what else she could do to fix the root issue. Mollie explains what you can do if you are currently taking a sleep medication. Luckily, there are many ways to train your circadian rhythm and get consistent sleep daily. Tune in as Mollie explains why sleep will help on your weight loss journey and improve cognitive performance, and she reveals practical sleep tips that you can utilize today. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

It wasn’t until Mollie went through a period of insomnia that she knew something needed to change. After learning about chronobiology, circadian rhythm optimization, structuring the day, and how it could make a difference with her sleep, it absolutely changed the course that Mollie was on. After learning all this cool stuff about sleep, it’s all that Mollie could talk about. So, she organically started helping people that were struggling with their sleep. [06:30] What To Do If You Are Currently Taking A Sleep Medication There are so many elements that can certainly impact our sleep results. Environmental is one of the most significant changes that we can make. We need to learn about the management of our environment from the moment we wake up until we go to bed. You can train your circadian rhythm and strengthen it. When you train your circadian rhythm, you will be able to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Consistency is critical for overall sleep hygiene. [12:00] How Sleep Plays A Role In Your Weight Loss Journey If you’re not sleeping well, glucose levels are oscillating at a higher level. Hight glucose levels will make it more challenging to resist temptations throughout the day when we're running on that period of even acute sleep deprivation. When you throw off the time you go to sleep and the time you wake up, then you are throwing off your fasting windows and your feeding windows. When we start having inconsistent timing of when we're eating, then that can throw off a confusing series of triggers to the body. Also, we won’t be getting enough recovery time if we aren’t sleeping well. [18:00] Getting Better Sleep Will Help You Focus And Improve Cognitive Performance Glymphatic drainage happens in the brain from the first part of your night. It cleans out cellular waste from the day. Getting enough sleep will possibly help battle Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. If you ever have a great night of sleep, you most likely wake up excited and ready to tackle the day. This is a feeling you can reproduce night after night. Sleep is great for productivity. It’s a hack that even poker players use. [20:50] Practical Sleep Tips You Can Start To Utilize Today Look at what is not helping with your sleep hygiene. Some people tend to be very busy and stressed throughout their day. Adding on a business partner or virtual assistant can help lighten your workload and reduce stress. If you are suffering from insomnia, find some cognitive behavioral therapy near you. Is your anxiety keeping you awake? Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) might be right for you. Mollie recommends reading The Sleep Book: https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Book-Well-Every-Night/dp/1409149102/benazadi-20 Another tool that Mollie recommends is NightOwl: https://nightowl.care/ Get connected to your light and dark environment; it’s critical for sleep health. [32:00] Should You Get Extra Sleep After A Night Out Or Wake Up At Your Normal Time? Mollie suggests waking up at the same time that you normally would. Luckily, there is a buffer of about thirty minutes that you can sleep extra. If you sleep for too long after your normal wakeup time, you will be disrupting your circadian rhythm and disrupting your sleep for that following night and nights after. Train your circadian rhythm and keep it strong. [33:50] The General Optimal Timeframe To Get Deep Sleep And REM Sleep There's a variance between different people and different timing for their sleep. People who work the graveyard shift, unfortunately, may have long-term health problems. The World Health Organization sees staying up all night as a possible carcinogenic. You should try and sync up your sleep schedule with nature as closely as possible. AND MUCH MORE!
