Dr Ken Berry | The Best Ways to Reduce Inflammation In Your Body KKP:261
Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a THIRD time, a Family Physician, Speaker, and Author, Ken D Berry, MD. Dr. Berry was born in Linden, Tennessee, and grew up in the very small Southern town of Hohenwald, Tennessee. He 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. Dr. Berry has been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade. He is board-certified in Family Medicine, and has been awarded the degree of Fellow, by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Having seen over 20,000 patients during his career of all ages, he is uniquely qualified to write on both acute and chronic diseases. More and more, Dr. Berry has focused on the chronic diseases caused by the Standard American Diet and Lifestyle, and has made it his mission to turn the tide on the epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes, chronic inflammation, and dementia. Dr. Berry has four children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 7 peacocks. He, and his beautiful wife Neisha, live on their farm in Holladay, TN. In this episode, Dr. Berry dives into the causes of chronic, inappropriate inflammation. He tells us about the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, why dairy can be the root of your inflammation issues, and he even shares another inflammatory food that might surprise you! Dr. Berry also goes into the carnivore diet and what lab markers are important for inflammation. Lastly, Dr. Berry answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners and tells us about his upcoming projects!

Chronic Inflammation First off, there are good and useful inflammations. Acute inflammation is where you get injured from a sprained ankle, for example, the swelling there is good; it's the first step in healing. Acute inflammation is not what we are talking about today. The enemy; is chronic, inappropriate inflammation. This inflammation is almost always caused by something in your environment getting into your body. It can be caused by something you eat, drink, or chemicals and toxins that you are exposed to in your environment. This leads to chronic inflammation in your body while it is trying to cope with the everyday insult of the toxins. [09:50] Metabolic Health: Inflammation, Obesity, And The Concerns Around Dairy Products Up until about year five, children drink milk regularly and are able to process it well. However, around the age of five, our biochemical machinery starts to shut off the ability to break down lactose. In fact, at least two-thirds of adults are lactose intolerant. This means for most adults, the bovine proteins and amino acids in dairy are inflammatory. As for cheese, some are better than others when it comes to inflammation. Berry explains that the further the cheese has been removed from liquid milk, the less inflammatory in most cases. For example, hard cheeses like parmesan have been fermented for a long time and will cause the least amount of inflammation. A dairy-free month is great to determine if your issues, such as chronic inflammation, gut issues, and trouble losing weight, come from your intake of dairy products. [18:30] Shocking! Another Inflammatory Food That May Surprise You A food that many people think is healthy, but is surprisingly inflammatory, is nuts. Even though nuts are looked at as a healthy snack, they are actually very carb-heavy and can slow down your weight loss. Cutting nuts out of your diet may seem restrictive, but not meeting your goals and being able to do whatever you want to in a day physically is really what is restrictive. A good way to eat nuts is occasionally, not every day. Eating them occasionally is probably fine because it mirrors our ancestors' behavior. [23:23] Why The Carnivore Diet Is Beneficial For Reducing Inflammation The carnivore diet, by definition, is the lowest carbohydrate diet you can eat. It is as close to zero carb as you can get. It also eliminates all the other foods that people could potentially be allergic to, such as the proteins in dairy or the phytochemicals in plants. Berry believes that meat and eggs are the least inflammatory foods on the planet, not including water. Meat is also the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, especially if you add organ meat to your diet. [31:28] Essential Lab Markers To Get When Assessing Your Inflammation For inflammation, good markers to get are CRP, whether it's high sensitivity or cardiac, sed rate and ESR are great. Another is homocysteine, as well as the ferritin level. Many people think ferritin is just a marker of iron deficiency, but it is way more than that. If a patient is over 35, these are all lab markers that should be checked to tell the doctor so much about their metabolic health. Without these labs, someone could be walking around with pre-diabetes, undiagnosed hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, etc. This is crucial information to determine their metabolic health. [36:48] Are Statins Always Necessary When Cholesterol is Elevated? If a patient has good levels otherwise, has never had a heart attack, and has a CAC score less than 1000, there is no research showing that they would benefit from taking a statin. If the patient has had a heart attack in the past or has a CAC above 1000, they may benefit from a low dose. Elevated cholesterol can become “background noise” or not a sense of concern if you have transformed your health overall. AND MUCH MORE!

This includes whole wheat bread. Is wheat bread good for you? No. A study published in Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis showed two slices of wheat bread spiked glucose in the blood as much as a 12 ounce can of soda or snickers bar. 03:24 The second diet mistake that is making you fat. Eating farmed seafood instead of wild caught seafood. Consuming wheat bread is one of the biggest diet mistakes for losing weight. Farmed fish contains high amounts of PCB's. When you consume this, it increases inflammation and cancer risk. PCB's are a known carcinogen. This is why farmed fish are foods that cause cancer, especially when you consume it in excess. 04:30 These foods cause inflammation (Food Number 3): Corn & Soy. They are typically GMO and loaded with pesticides and herbicides. Not good. Soy can also be estrogenic which is why it's one of the foods that cause inflammation. 05:30 This is probably the worst food on the list... vegetable oils! Vegetable oils such as canola oil, soybean oil, grape-seed oil and the others listed in this video cause belly fat and disease through inflammation. Some studies suggest these foods can cause inflammation around your cells for 6-12 months! The best foods to eat to lose weight instead of these bad fats, are healthy fats such as coconut oil, olive oil, grass fed butter/ghee, avocado oil and the other healthy foods listed in the video. These foods are the best meal plan to lose fat faster. 10:00 Are artificial sweeteners bad for you? You decide! Several studies suggest artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose cause inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to weight loss resistance. Sucralose studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10882... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24944... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15111... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... 12:00 Your thoughts are like food. What you feed yourself can manifest in disease or create health. 13:50 This is how fearful, hateful, stressful thoughts causes disease in the body. *Some Links Are Affiliates* 📖 Free Keto Kamp Blueprint Guide: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com This is the best meal plan for weight loss.

Dr Benjamin Bikman | 3 Ways to Support Your Kidneys, Effect of Salt on Insulin Sensitivity & More! KKP: 259
Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a THIRD time Dr. Benjamin Bikman. He is a biomedical scientist, professor, and expert on insulin resistance. Dr. Benjamin Bikman studies diabetes and obesity, and much of what he focuses on is a seemingly obscure condition called insulin resistance. But it's, in fact, not very obscure at all. What is insulin resistance? Why did Dr. Benjamin Bikman devote his career to studying something like this? Well, insulin resistance is essentially two things. First of all, some cells in your body aren't responding very well to the hormone insulin. Second, you have more insulin than you did before, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. Dr. Bikman's research focus is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that mediate the disruption that causes and accompanies metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Driven by his academic training (Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders), he is currently exploring the different roles of insulin and ketones as critical drivers of metabolic function. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings. In this episode, Dr. Bikman starts by telling us about his journey with social media. In this, he explains his thoughts on why people are so addicted to hatred. He then describes his new manuscript about the differences in the hippocampus of Alzheimer's brains vs. control brains. Next, he discusses sphingolipids, different types of fat growth, and the importance of our humble kidneys! Dr. Bikman finishes up by discussing if people perish purely from diabetes and the link between salt and insulin sensitivity.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 💻 Free 7 Day Keto Kickstart Challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com [09:03] Are You Addicted To Hate? Most Humans Struggle With This There are chemical mediators to the emotions that we associate with hate. As much as we want to say we hated something in the heat of the moment, the feeling is somewhat satisfying. It is like we've just sunk our teeth in, and we've made the kill. There's almost an animalistic instinct, a satisfaction that comes from letting someone know what you think of them and expressing your anger, hatred, or frustration at them. That is an addictive state. [16:00] Differences In the Hippocampus of Alzheimer's Brains vs. Control Brains Bikman explains that in a new study, they were able to obtain samples of the hippocampus from donors who had passed away both with and without Alzheimer's disease. The hippocampus is the learning memory center of the human brain. When comparing the control brains and the Alzheimer's brains, they found a profound reduction in almost every gene involved in glucose metabolism in the Alzheimer's brains. However, when looking at ketone metabolism, both the control and the Alzheimer's brains looked totally normal. This is a massive step in Alzheimer's research because it shows that it is not a plaque disorder as people believe; it is a metabolic disorder. [19:20] The Effect of Sphingolipids In The Brain – A Mystery Solved There is a class of fats in our cells called sphingolipids. They were named after the mysterious sphynx because we didn't know what they did for so long. However, now we know sphingolipids are doing two things. The first is causing the hippocampus to become insulin resistant. Which in turn results in the reduction in glucose-related genes being expressed. The second is sphingolipids directly alter the function of mitochondria. Mitochondria produce most of the cell's energy, so if they can't function well, neither can the cell. [26:34] Hypertrophy vs. Hyperplasia Fat Growth Fat tissue, what we pinch and jiggle, grows in two different ways. Hypertrophy is where the number of fat cells is set, but each fat cell itself gets bigger. That is a finite growth because once the fat cell has reached the maximum dimension, the fat tissue stops growing. An alternative mechanism of growth is hyperplasia, where the fat cell gets a little big, and then we make another fat cell and then make another fat cell, and it continues. Hyperplasia is essentially limitless fat growth. However, that's actually a healthier way to get fat. If you can grow fat cells through hyperplasia, they stay very insulin sensitive, and the body stays insulin sensitive. [34:00] The Humble Kidney: It’s A Tissue That’s In High Demand! Bikman was surprised in his research at how high the metabolic demand is in the kidney. In fact, he says he's never seen a tissue with such high demand as the kidney. Compared to the heart, which is known to have high metabolic demand, the kidney blew through oxygen much faster! People look at the humble kidney and think that it is just filtering blood, when in fact, it is doing much more. Of course, it also regulates the hormones responding to insulin. But even further, it is actually what sends the signal when the body is getting low on oxygen. [37:58] Three Ways We Can Support Our Kidneys One of the most important ways to keep our kidneys healthy is to stay hydrated. Second, Dr. Bikman emphasizes the importance of learning to breathe better to increase blood flow through the body. One way to do this is by using strategic vasodilation with brief breath holds from time to time, especially while moving. Last, keeping your insulin low is also important for kidney health. If insulin is high, then insulin is forcing aldosterone to be high. Then aldosterone tells the kidneys to hold onto all this stuff that we don't want to hold onto. [42:59] Has Anybody Ever Died From Type Two Diabetes? Diabetes is considered the seventh leading cause of death. Type two diabetes is overwhelmingly the most common form of diabetes. For someone to die of purely type two diabetes, the one thing that might kill someone is a non-ketotic coma. This occurs when their glucose levels are so massively high that they become hypovolemic. This means their blood pressure would be so low that they cannot pump blood to their brain. This can cause them to lose consciousness and potentially die. However, this is extremely uncommon. What usually kills people with diabetes is other health issues accelerated by diabetes, such as heart disease or cancers. [47:18] The Effect Of Salt On Insulin Sensitivity May Surprise You The obvious way salt and insulin sensitivity are related is that when insulin is up, it pushes aldosterone to be up, which forces the kidney to hold onto more salt and water. More water means higher blood volume, which in turn means higher pressure, leading to hypertension. However, if you restrict salt, the body becomes determined to hold onto any salt that it can. This makes the body insulin resistant. The body makes itself insulin resistant in this scenario because it will raise insulin, which will raise aldosterone, making the body retain salt. So, when you think about today's often dietary advice to cut salt, they are really creating this vicious cycle by exacerbating the insulin resistance. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Nasha Winters | Why Metabolic Flexibility is Key to Extend Your Lifespan KKP:258
Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a second time, Dr. Nasha Winters. She has been on a personal journey with cancer for the last 27 years. Her quest to save her own life has transformed into a mission to support others on a similar journey. Dr. Nasha travels the world to explore integrative cancer clinics, vet cancer protocols for research projects, speak at conferences, and meet with colleagues to help them apply metabolic approaches with their patients. Dr. Nasha offers doctor-to-doctor consultations and intensive mentorships for clinicians who want to more deeply understand metabolic and integrative approaches to cancer. In this episode, Dr. Nasha goes into depth about the processes happening to your cells and your body during cancer. She advises us on how to process the loss of someone you love, all the way to sharing her favorite inflammatory markers. In between, Dr. Nasha explains how we can expand our lifespan by taking care of our mitochondria and the importance of fasting and ketosis during radiation therapy. Dr. Nasha also speaks about different cancer theories in the medical field and why she finds one more hopeful than the other.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [01:45] How To Process The Loss Of Somebody You Love And Adore There are only two promises in this world: being born and dying. Even though we intellectually understand death, it's definitely still very painful. At 19, Dr. Nasha met her own diagnosis. It took a long time for Dr. Nasha to really come to terms with understanding death and dying. However, It's not something we're taught in our culture. Yet when you work with chronically ill people with cancer, you're going to see it, and you're going to see it often. Nasha learned to understand that death and dying look exactly the same. They're just an unbelievable passing through a particular threshold; they are not as scary and ugly as we've made them out to be in our world. Death is a powerful threshold; it is a very normal process of life. [09:40] What We Can Do To Extend Our Lifespan Our fountain of youth resides in the health and wealth of our mitochondria. Nasha explains that, unfortunately, new beings are entering this planet with their mitochondria already somewhat polluted and damaged. Then, the longer you are on this planet, and the more you neglect your health, the more damage you do to your mitochondria as well. These mitochondrial conditions make you age faster and be more susceptible to chronic illness processes. Nasha emphasizes that preventative care is key to heading off these conditions and extending our lifespan. There are many easy ways to access what is actually happening in your body, and as a culture, we need to start caring about not just feeling fine but being optimally healthy. Whether people like it or not, this "optimal health" is heavily influenced not only by physical factors, but by our life experiences, emotional intelligence, resilience to stressors, and other important mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our life. [21:12] Metabolic vs. Somatic Theories of Cancer Explained By Dr. Nasha Somatic theory is the concept that our DNA accumulates damages to its structure over time and then sets off a path to a cancering process. This theory supports the idea that cancer is a “bad luck game” and you’re just either going to get it or you’re not. Nasha does not subscribe to this thought process. It creates the idea that you are powerless, and powerlessness is an incredible toxin. Metabolic theory instead conceptualizes that we can see where the cancer cells stem from and that we can make a difference. From our thoughts to our food, to the water we drink and the air we breathe, everything around us affects our mitochondria. Our mitochondria are the “genome protectors;” the key to warding off cancerous cells. So keeping them healthy is crucial. This is where Dr. Nasha sees hope in the vision of cancer, that we can make a difference. [28:12] What Is Affecting Cancerous Cell Replication + What You Can Do About It Once an unhealthy cell switches its fuel source to sugar and starts replicating, it will just keep replicating. Our ability to break to kill off those damaged, dysfunctional or rogue cells is under the complete guidance of our mitochondria. So if our mitochondria are unhealthy, damaged, or inefficient, they cannot stop the attacks. But if you get your body fat down and build up your muscle, you actually start to increase your storage and effectiveness, and efficiency of your mitochondria. Nasha has found that she can help patients take the mitochondria they have and strengthen them through powerful tools like intermittent fasting, cryotherapy, and more. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry can’t get rich off these tools, so they push it to the back. All while we keep trying to find the pharmaceutical answer to the ancient wisdom that's been available to us all along. [37:47] The Importance of Metabolic Flexibility Nasha has found that the vast majority of her patients are not very metabolically flexible. Most people in their normal lives tend to eat something every 2 to 3 hours and also like to indulge in a little snack or sweet treat between dinner and bed. However, learning to fast can be extremely important. In a 1909 study, it was found that simply fasting cytotoxically reduced the size of a tumor. So, if you take fasting and pair it with chemo, you get a synergy, like a double whammy. All while protecting those healthy mitochondria from the damaging effects of that chemo or that radiation. Yet, most oncologists still aren't full-heartedly supporting their patients fasting during chemo. [46:23] How Exogenous Ketones Help During Radiation Nasha emphasizes that just taking exogenous ketones will never be as good as doing ketogenesis the old fashion way. However, exogenous ketones can help to give a running start to people who are new to low carb or need to get primed for a particular chemotherapy. They also help reduce the withdrawal from carbs that most patients feel at first, giving your psychology time to catch up with your physiology. Exogenous ketones can even pack an extra punch for folks who are already fat-adapted during radiation to protect the healthy tissues. This is also important for patients that have brain tumors, for instance, because the steroids they might be taking make it almost impossible to get into therapeutic ketosis. Another great way to get into ketosis is a three-day water fast. Those doing this around their chemo find exogenous ketones keep them feeling pretty good. [50:18] What Level of Ketones Are Optimal For Radiation + Therapeutic Ketosis Ideally, Dr. Nasha wants them in therapeutic ketosis, which is above three on the Keto-Mojo. For people to get into a level of three and higher, you have to be very metabolically flexible and/or taking exogenous ketones. What gets someone to a certain level of ketones is unique to the person. Not only are bodies unique on their own, but all the stress and different medications can make it even harder to get into ketosis during cancer treatment. The point being, don't beat yourself up if it is harder for you to get into ketosis than someone else. [53:40] Dr. Nasha’s Favorite Inflammatory Markers Nasha’s trifecta: C Reactive Protein (CRP), Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) CRP is prognostic for many things. If you have an elevated CRP at the time of your breast cancer diagnosis or colorectal cancer diagnosis, you have a poor prognosis. Sedimentation rate tells you how fast your blood cells fall out of plasma. If the cells fall out fast, that is good; you want flow in your blood. If they fall out slow, your blood is more gelatinous and also means you have more inflammation in your tissues. LDH is the most important test for your metabolic health. If your LDH is high, your mitochondria are off. When using this trifecta as a collective, they are more sensitive and specific than any other cancer marker Dr. Nasha has seen. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Will Cole | How Fasting Can Reboot Your Metabolism + Heal Your Digestive System KKP:257
Today, I am blessed to have here with me for the THIRD time Dr. Will Cole. He is a leading functional-medicine expert, consults people around the world via webcam and locally in Pittsburgh. He specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders, and brain problems. Dr. Cole was named one of the top 50 functional-medicine and integrative doctors in the nation and is a health expert and course instructor for the world’s largest wellness brands such as mindbodygreen and goop. In this episode, Dr. Cole opens the show explaining the meaning behind intuitive fasting. If you’re not metabolically flexible, fasting will be anything but intuitive. However, when you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. Dr. Cole explains why he’s such a massive fan of fasting for overall health and the ways fasting will help heal your gut. Later, Dr. Cole answers common questions regarding fasting, like if it will help you lose weight and why you can’t fast when you’re eating a poor diet. Tune in as we chat about our favorite supplements for fasting and how tea can be beneficial on your health journey.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [01:00] Intuitive Fasting To Renew Your Health And Recharge Your Metabolism The idea of eating only one or two meals a day sounds like an extreme and overly restrictive dieting tactic to most of America. But the truth is, our daily eating schedule—three meals a day, plus snacks—does not necessarily reflect our bodies’ natural cycles. Cole’s book is all about intuitive fasting. However, fasting will be anything but intuitive when you're metabolically inflexible. Instead, the book is a conversation about showing up for yourself to become metabolically flexible. When you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. You can mindfully use intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility so you can hear what your body truly loves. [05:25] Why Dr. Cole Is A Huge Fan Of Fasting For His Health Fasting is an amazing tool, and it's completely free. Plus, fasting is something that it's actually encoded in our DNA. Researchers estimate that our genetics haven't changed in 10,000 years. Your body is made to do so much. It’s time to wake up the body's ability to heal itself and wake up the body's ability to calm inflammation. Sadly, we are living so out of alignment with our biochemistry that we put a lot of our body's healing capacity just to sleep. Fasting is a matter of letting our bodies remember what we were born with. Overall, fasting is an amazing tool that clinically really improves people's labs. [09:25] How Fasting Can Actually Heal Your Gut + Reset Your Digestive System Your microbiome is actually repairing through the night and recalibrating through the night. When you fast, it is calming down the inflammatory cascades that are going on. Also, fasting doesn’t mean that you are cutting calories. Instead, you're eating the same number of foods, you're just eating in specific windows to give your body a little bit more of a fasting time than you normally would. The more often you can fast, you're going to be able to regenerate and repair the gut in a big way. Digesting food requires a lot of energy; so, you're giving your gut a break to not work on digesting food. [13:45] What Food Freedom Means To Dr. Cole Food peace is going longer without eating, not because it's restrictive - but because you can do it, and you feel great doing it. Also, food peace means you can break the fast when you want to. Intuitive fasting can be scary; it can be triggering for people that are addicted to food. Just because something's common doesn't necessarily mean it's normal – most people in the United States have a massive blood sugar problem. The traditional way that American’s live their lives are, in many ways, self-harm; it's not self-respect at all. Food freedom is integrating things in your life that make you feel great. [17:55] The Combination Of Keto And Fasting Is A Total Game-Changer You can’t fast your way out of a poor diet. Dr. Cole doesn’t advocate for people to have these extreme approaches to fasting, where it's like an eating disorder disguised as a wellness practice. Fasting should be a tool that can actually heal your relationship with food, heal your relationship with your body, and actually heal your body. If you look at a lot of the research on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet, you're going to see similar pathways explored because they're both supporting beta-Hydroxybutyrate. Keto is nutrient-dense and calorically rich foods that are very satiating and nourishing; it's going to make your intermittent fasting window easier. [24:00] Can You Teach Me How To Use Fasting To Lose Weight? Many people hear that fasting is connected with weight loss. However, it's essential to realize that fasting is the body repairing things. If you want to fast to lose weight, you need to shift your mindset. Instead, you have to get healthy to lose weight, not the other way around. Fasting has a lot more benefits than weight loss – you should be more excited about those aspects of fasting. [28:05] Dr. Cole Reveals His Favorite Supplements For Fasting Cole is a fan of having coffee and tea while he fasts. Earl Grey tea has been shown to support our autophagy pathways. The main supplement you’ll want when fasting is electrolytes. Again, you can’t fast your way out of a poor diet. If you’re eating clean foods, you may not need those electrolytes. However, optimizing your electrolytes is something to consider. One of Dr. Cole’s favorites is LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/pages/robb-wolf [35:20] News Flash! You’re Not A Failure If You Cut Your Fast Early When fasting, you need to have flexibility and intuition. If you cut your fast early, it’s not a failure. Instead, it’s a gift that you listened to your body. Changing your fasting plan is part of metabolic flexibility. We think there has to be this rigid plan for fasting to be successful; however, that’s not how life works! [38:05] Stop Comparing Yourself To Other People On Your Health Journey We're all on our own journey with health – stop comparing your journey to another person. We're all created differently, and we're all up against something differently. Obviously, we're learning from other people. However, your path will be different. Communities should be there for insight rather than comparisons. You're on your own journey, you're going to do great, but in your own way. [43:55] The Truth About Autophagy: Are You Getting Too Much While Fasting? Constantly check in with yourself and see how you feel: Are you burnt out? Are you fatigued? Do you feel like you’re starving? As long as you eat enough foods during your eating window, then you should be okay. However, if your body is saying otherwise, then eat! AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Vera Tarman | How to Overcome Food Addiction for Good! How Sugar Affects You Brain KKP: 255
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Vera Tarman. Dr. Vera Tarman started addictions Unplugged in 2008 because she found a need for information on addiction and, more specifically, food addiction. Today, the Addictions Unplugged website serves as a portal and discussion forum for medical professionals, front-line addiction workers, and those affected by addiction to reach out to Dr. Tarman and find out the latest information on treatment. Dr. Tarman has been reaching out to the medical and addiction communities through her workshops and speaking engagements. She speaks on the topics of the science behind food addiction and why we use food for comfort. She has educated thousands of people across the world and hopes to help all those struggling with food addiction. In this episode, Dr. Vera Tarman reveals how she found the connection between indulging cravings for "comfort food" and engaging in substance abuse. Yes, food can become addictive, and Dr. Vera explains how. Plus, we talk about how to know if you're addicted to food and what steps you can take to face that food addiction. Plus, we go deep into what's happening in our brains when we eat sugar and why scientists make food so addictive.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [00:25] About Dr. Vera Tarman And The Inspiration Behind Food Junkies Vera is an addiction specialist. She sees people coming into a residential setting, they're putting down their alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes, and marijuana. However, they start picking up the sugar. Within two or three weeks, they started to gain a lot of weight. Eating was very much like their previous behavior of addiction. Now, Dr. Vera loves to talk about the addiction that people have with food. Plus, she even wrote a book on the subject – Food Junkies. It’s a fact-filled guide to coping with compulsive overeating problems. Overeating, binge eating, obesity, anorexia, and bulimia – Dr. Vera tackles the poorly understood issue of food addiction in her book. Get Food Junkies: https://www.amazon.ca/Food-Junkies-Recovery-Addiction/dp/1459741978/benazadi-20 [06:05] How Can Food Become Addictive? The inspiration for Food Junkies came from another book, Hooked. Hooked is about the troubling story of how food companies have exploited our most fundamental evolutionary instincts to get us hooked on processed foods. Get Hooked: https://www.amazon.ca/Hooked-Food-Giants-Exploit-Addictions/dp/0771059590/benazadi-20 The food industry has made our food addictive by targeting the chemistry in our brains. Sadly, the food industry has figured out that the reward pathway will keep people coming back for their food. Brilliant scientists are paid good money to figure out how to activate those pathways. [08:50] The Negative Impacts On Your Brain When Consuming Sugars Sugars will light up part of the brain that’s emotional and impulsive. It’s the part of our brain that makes us do things without thought - this is all subconscious thinking. Plus, sugar will trigger dopamine primarily, which is our neurochemical of desire. There's also endorphins and serotonin. Endorphins trigger comfort while serotonin triggers connectedness. Addiction will make you want an entire bag of chips. You can’t stop at one or two because your neural biology is so damaged. The physical manifestations of sugar and high-carb addiction are happening in the brain. [17:00] What You Need To Know About The Different Stages of Food Addiction When we talk about food addiction, it's essentially like diabetes. Food addiction is a chronic and progressive condition. You may have a food addiction if you would rather stay at home and eat instead of going out for a social occasion. If you consistently do not feel well because of the food you eat, you may be suffering from food addiction. Another sign of food addiction is eating foods that you know are not going to make you feel good. If your obsession with food is excessive, then you are a food addict. Lastly, if you are in trouble with your health, then you may be a food addict. “You have to be very careful if you're moving down this path of food addiction.” -Dr. Vera [25:25] Fasting For People With Addictions To Food Cutting out sugar will be the first step for people who have an addiction to food. Sugar is the trigger – so, ditch the trigger! If you have a food addiction, be aware of pitfalls. If you have a history of starving yourself, then fasting may not be the right path. Fasting can be healing; however, it’s a tool that can hurt you if you do not know how to use it. If it’s done carefully, fasting can be great for the body. [30:40] Why Dr. Vera Is A Massive Fan Of Eating More Protein Vera isn’t necessary a fan of protein. Instead, Dr. Vera is a fan of low-carb. Protein and fat will give the body satiety. Most likely, if you are low-carb, then you are eating higher protein. Vera says she doesn’t have a problem with carbs as long as they are not processed. [32:15] It Takes Three To Four Weeks To Kick Your Sugar Addiction It takes about three of four weeks to quit an addiction fully. A connection with a daily coach or sponsor will be critical on your journey. So, find support from someone while kicking your addiction. Keto Kamp is a great community of people who are ready to help you! [40:00] Treatment: Ways To Help When You’re A Food Addict First of all, you have to eat the right food - you have to stop the drug! The first month is going to be difficult. As time goes on, it will get easier and easier. By week four, you will feel free! Lastly, you need to protect yourself from future triggers.

Dr Rebecca Warren | How to Support Your Thyroid With Ketosis & Fasting KKP: 254
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 opens the show by talking about her own health journey. At sixteen, Dr. Warren had her gallbladder removed, and at nineteen, she found out about her thyroid cancer. After struggling with depression and weight loss resistance, Dr. Warren found keto, fasting, and other health tools. 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. Pre Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.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. Upgraded Formulas Hair Mineral Deficiency Analysis & Supplements: http://www.upgradedformulas.com Use BEN10 at checkout for 10% off your order. Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [00:30] About Dr. Warren And Her Passion For The Thyroid At 16, Dr. Warren had severe pain in her chest. At the hospital, they gave her morphine. Sadly, Dr. Warren had developed thousands of stones in her gallbladder. After getting the gallbladder removed, Dr. Warren needed to recover from morphine withdrawals. Even at 16, Dr. Warren wondered why she was born with a gallbladder if she didn’t need it. Just because they cut out the gallbladder, that didn’t mean Dr. Warren was cured. At 19, Dr. Warren found out that she had cancer. However, it was the “good” cancer to have, thyroid cancer. Well, the doctors were ready to have her thyroid cut out, and Dr. Warren had the surgery done. Warren became weight loss resistant, and she started to struggle with depression. When you think about depression, you think about suicide. However, depression can mean waking up every single day with a massive burden. Eventually, Dr. Warren found keto and fasting to change the healing process in her body. [10:30] An Overview Of The Thyroid + What To Know About Reverse T3 The hypothalamus is a thyroid-releasing hormone; it goes from the hypothalamus to the pituitary and the pituitary to the thyroid. When we talk about carbs, fat, and ketosis, it all goes back to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the master control center of all the hormones, not just your thyroid hormones, but all hormones. The Reverse T3 (RT3) Test is one that Dr. Warren recommends. Many doctors have an issue with it. RT3 is an inflammatory marker that gives you a good idea of how your body responds to stressors. We can’t wait around for studies to prove what we know or feel in our body. You have to trust your body because you live in your body. [18:10] Can You Do Keto And Fasting With A Thyroid Issue? Listen to what your body is telling you to do. Getting in ketosis can decrease free T3 – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. People think they need carbs for free T3. However, you make more free T3 to deal with inefficiencies when it comes to metabolism. Your blood work might show that your free T3 is low, but your body knows that it doesn’t need it as much. Remember, the hypothalamus will regulate what's going on within our body. Get The Free Thyroid Labs E-Book: https://www.drswarren.com/thyroid [26:00] The Benefits To Using Keto For Thyroid Support One benefit of keto is cell receptor sensitivity. The thyroid is a layered thing. When it’s off, it will affect loads of different things. When you utilize keto, it will help the gut microbiome. Inflammation in the gut will make thyroid issues worse. So, keto will change the gut microbiome for the better. Eat good fermented foods for your gut microbiome. T3 goes down with keto, so there is less demand on the thyroid. Now, you can detox the body! [29:50] The Benefits To Using Fasting For Thyroid Support Fasting is beautiful for coming off high-dose medications. When people start fasting, their cell receptor sensitivity will change. Then, they will need fewer medications. On day three of a block fast, people will get an increased heart rate, and their whole body will change. When you start fasting, you will become more sensitive and need less medicine. Having adverse reactions is a good thing! It means your body is changing, and it’s getting better. Also, fasting can affect antibody levels because of what is happening in the gut. Plus, fasting is great for the immune system. [35:15] Why It Is Dangerous To Stay In Ketosis Long-Term For Thyroid Function The hypothalamus will control all of your hormones. Ketosis is a stressor that will heal your body. However, it’s still a stressor. When we stay in sympathetic for too long, we get signals of survival. If we are in ketosis for too long, we will go into survival mode. When we are in survival mode, our thyroid will shut down. Having flex days will tell your body that there is no stressor. Now, your body can utilize your carbs to produce hormones in your thyroid. [42:50] Finding Doctors + Health Practitioners On Your Healing Journey Find someone who is going to respect you and someone who is going to have a conversation with you. You will want to have a synergistic relationship with your practitioner. Use your health practitioners as a toolbox. Outside of these people, find health coaches! That way, you can look at the body as a whole to heal itself. AND MUCH MORE!
