#853 "These Superfoods Are Poison!" - Healthy Foods You May Never Eat Again After This with Sally Norton
Today, I am blessed to have Sally K. Norton here with me. Her book, “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better” is available everywhere books are sold. Her latest book, the Data Companion to Toxic Superfoods, was just released in May 2024 and is available at https://sallyknorton.com/toxic_superfoods/data_companion. For more information, visit SallyKNorton.com or follow Sally on YouTube and social media. She’s @sknorton and @toxicsuperfoods_oxalate_book (on Instagram), @BeFreeToThrive (on Facebook), and @BetterLowOx (on X). In this episode, Sally emphasizes that several foods commonly considered healthy, such as nuts, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, quinoa, and even bran, may actually be harmful due to their high oxalate content. Oxalates, particularly oxalic acid found in plants, can disrupt cellular function by causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to tissues. The accumulation of calcium oxalate can interfere with metabolism, vascular health, and electrolyte balance, leading to various health issues like digestive problems, joint pain, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones. Sally also explains that our modern, non-seasonal diet exacerbates this issue, as we consume these foods year-round without giving our bodies time to recover. Sally says that tea significantly contributes to oxalate intake due to its fully soluble oxalic acid content, making it both quickly absorbed and harmful. However, Sally mentions that in moderation, tea can be used medicinally to help the body manage oxalate release from tissues. She advises that dietary changes should be gradual, allowing the body time to adjust to avoid overwhelming it. She emphasizes that dealing with oxalate accumulation is a long-term process influenced by individual nutrition and lifestyle factors. Sally advises that low oxalate carbs, such as white rice, are generally well-tolerated, especially for those with gut inflammation. She notes that white rice has resistant starch, which may be problematic for those with severe digestive issues. Cutting out fiber can also reduce pain and inflammation, making a carnivore diet appealing to some. Sally also highlights that juicing fruits, especially those high in oxalates like raspberries and pomegranates, can significantly reduce their oxalate content. She recommends eating nutrient-dense animal foods, taking breaks from constant grazing, and returning to traditional meal times for metabolic freedom.

#852 9 Warning Signs You're Not Eating Enough Protein! - Fix This ASAP with Ben Azadi
Protein is arguably the MOST important macronutrient for fat loss and longevity. Approximately 40% of American adults are not meeting their protein needs. There are early warning signs that begin to appear when you’re not eating enough protein, in this video I’ll be sharing all 9 of them. I will also address the most common questions about getting enough protein, and of course the solution to making sure you get enough of this important macronutrient. The first warning sign is cravings for junk food. The protein leverage hypothesis states that human beings will prioritize the consumption of protein in food over other dietary components, and will eat until protein needs have been met, regardless of energy content,[1] thus leading to over-consumption of foodstuffs when their protein content is low. This hypothesis has been put forward as a potential explanation of the obesity epidemic. Empirical tests have provided some evidence to confirm the hypothesis with one study suggesting that this could be a link between ultra-processed foods and the prevalence of obesity in the developed world. In 1995, Australian researcher Susanna Holt developed the concept of satiety value, a measure of how much a given food is likely to satisfy the hunger of someone. High protein foods have been found to have high satiety values, more so than carbohydrates. When you eat enough protein you activate hormones and chemicals that signal to your brain and body… you’re full! This prevents you from overeating junk food, and snacking in between meals. Helping you of course lose weight. These hormones that get activated with protein are Cholecystokinin, leptin, peptide yy. Here’s how this works. Analogy of eating steak and then the dessert tray rolls by. There are more reasons why lack of protein leads to junk food binges… RESOURCES MENTIONED: Equip Foods: Beef protein powder and colostrum. 100% grass fed and finished beef.

#851 "Biggest LIES About Red Meat & Carnivore Diet!" - Avoid Heart Attacks, Reverse Aging with Dr. Ken Berry
Today, I’m blessed to welcome back Dr. Ken Berry, who has joined us on the show before to share his invaluable insights. He is a family physician, speaker, and author based in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. Dr. Berry received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996. He received his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2000. In this episode, Dr. Ken Berry advocates for the carnivore diet as one of the best dietary approaches for longevity due to its very low carbohydrate content, ability to reduce inflammation, and effectiveness in triggering satiety hormones. He argues that meat from domesticated animals is among the least inflammatory foods available, unlike plants, which have evolved chemical defense mechanisms that can cause inflammation in humans. Dr. Ken Berry says the carnivore diet is a powerful tool for those with autoimmune diseases, explaining that such conditions arise from a confused and misdirected immune system, not an "overactive" one. He criticizes conventional medical approaches that focus on suppressing the immune system rather than addressing the root causes of inflammation, often found in dietary choices. Many doctors fail to check A1C and fasting insulin levels, which can lead to missed early diagnoses of type 2 diabetes, resulting in years of preventable damage to the body. The problem stems from the reliance on fasting blood glucose tests alone, which can appear normal even in patients with dangerously high A1C levels.

#849 "The #1 Cause of Heart Attacks & Disease!" - QUIT Doing This To Live Longer ASAP With Dr. Stephen Hussey
Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Stephen Hussey here with me. He is a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner. He is a health coach, speaker, and the author of two books on health: The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Vibrant Health and Understanding The Heart: Surprising Insights Into The Evolutionary Origins Of Heart Disease – And Why It Matters. Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health using the latest research and health-attaining strategies. In this episode, Dr. Hussey highlights several inflammatory foods that contribute to heart disease, chronic pain, diabetes, and weight gain, focusing on processed seed oils, grains, and sugars—particularly high fructose corn syrup and processed white sugar. He discusses the impact of consuming plant foods out of season, suggesting that this can create confusion in the body's light environment, exacerbating autoimmune issues. Dr. Hussey discusses the rise of heart disease and critiques the association between cholesterol and heart disease. He argues that this focus on cholesterol has been a distraction from the true causes of heart disease, which are related to lifestyle changes, particularly the reduced exposure to sunlight. Tune in as we explore the potential link between root canals and heart disease. We highlight the risks of leaving dead tissue in the body, which can lead to infections and endotoxemia—where bacteria enter the bloodstream, causing chronic inflammation and arterial damage.

#848 Drink 1 Cup Of This Everyday For Serious Weight Loss with Ben Azadi
What if I told you there was something you can drink each morning that will help you lose serious weight? All you need to do is make 1 cup of this and drink it daily. You’ll notice body fat begin to melt off after just a few days. I’ll be sharing with you the key ingredients to make this fat burning concoction, but before I do I want you to understand how this will help you lose weight. The ingredients I will share have tremendous benefits for your liver. Your liver is the soccer mom organ because it does so many things for us. The liver helps you burn fat, detoxify, and also use fat soluble vitamins as an energy source which is key for fat burning. The liver produces a substance called bile, which is green, an acts like a detergent to break down fat. Most people think the gallbladder produces bile, but that’s not the case. The gallbladder is a storage house for the bile, but the liver produces it. Most people who have trouble losing weight, have a congested liver! When the liver is congested it slows your metabolism and thyroid function. RESOURCES MENTIONED: ☕️ My personal favorite brands include Purity Coffee head to http://www.ketokampcoffee.com and use the coupon code ketokamp for 15% off. STUDY. Bile acids can activate specific signaling pathways that improve metabolic processes and reduce inflammation, potentially leading to better overall metabolic health. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/diet-gut-microbes-immunity A study conducted at Tampere University Hospital in Finland found that people with decreased bile flow are seven times more likely to experience hypothyroidism. This connection is believed to be due to the role of bile in the conversion of thyroid hormones. Specifically, bile helps trigger the release of an enzyme that converts the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into its active form, T3. This process is crucial for maintaining proper thyroid function. Additionally, gut bacteria involved in bile metabolism also play a role in this hormonal conversion, further linking bile health to thyroid functiom. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459253/ Studies suggest CGA reduces abdominal fat in overweight adults, including this randomized, double blind, controlled trial. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6683100/ A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggested that cinnamon supplementation can reduce fasting blood glucose (FPG) and improve lipid profiles in people with diabetes. However, the studies showed mixed results regarding weight loss specifically. https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/cinnamon Another meta-analysis highlighted the potential of cinnamon in reducing FPG and improving other metabolic parameters, but it noted that more research is needed to confirm its effects on weight loss. https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12937-015-0098-9 Study.

#847 "The Number One Cause Of Insulin Resistance!" - STOP Weight Gain, Cancer, Diabetes & Alzheimer's with Kara Collier
Today, I’m fortunate to welcome Kara Collier back to the show for her third appearance. She is the co-founder and VP of Health at Nutrisense, one of America’s fastest-growing wellness-tech startups, where she leads the health team. She is a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient, frequent podcast guest & conference speaker. Kara has made it her mission to help others reach optimal health using modern technology & expert coaching. In addition to being a leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology by nondiabetics, she is championing the use of the human connection to heighten the impact of tech innovations in the healthcare industry. In this episode, Kara explains that many people mistakenly believe that glucose is only relevant for those with diabetes, but in reality, it's a key indicator of overall metabolic health. Metabolic health, which drives essential bodily functions like cell growth and energy regulation, relies on glucose as a fuel source. Monitoring glucose levels provides valuable insights into how efficiently the body's metabolic system functions. Kara highlights the significant impact of stress on glucose levels, noting that not only food but also mental and emotional states can trigger spikes. Stressful situations can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which in turn increase glucose. She emphasizes the importance of being mindful of one's state of mind, particularly before eating, as stress can hinder digestion and exacerbate glucose responses. Incorporating relaxation techniques can help mitigate these effects.
