Melanie Avalon | The Best Bio-Hacking Tips to Upgrade Your Health, How Toxins Get Stored In Fat & More! KKP: 514

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Thomas Seyfried here with me. Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. He did his undergraduate work at the University of New England, where he recently received the distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. He also holds a Master’s degree in Genetics from Illinois State University. Thomas Seyfried served with distinction in the United States Army’s First Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War and received numerous medals and commendations. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine and then served on the faculty as an Assistant Professor in Neurology. Dr. Seyfried argues that cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic one, and suggests that lifestyle factors play a role in its development. He highlights that if you wanted to get cancer, you would adopt a sedentary lifestyle, consume highly processed foods with long shelf lives, avoid fresh food, experience high levels of emotional stress, and deprive yourself of sleep. He notes that many people engage in these behaviors unknowingly, leading to increased rates of cancer, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Seyfried's point is that to prevent cancer, individuals should focus on maintaining metabolic health through exercise, proper diet, stress management, and quality sleep. Dr. Seyfried highlights that the current medical understanding of cancer is rooted in the idea that it is a genetic disease, a concept taught in medical schools and upheld by oncologists. These professionals are trained to use traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, focusing on managing toxicity rather than addressing the root cause. Seyfried argues that cancer is a metabolic disease driven by glucose and glutamine, but this crucial information is missing from training. He emphasizes the need for metabolic therapy, which targets the fuels cancer cells depend on while keeping healthy cells thriving, notably through ketosis. He expresses frustration at the medical community's resistance to acknowledging this approach despite mounting evidence that metabolic interventions could starve cancer cells and slow tumor growth. Tune in as Dr. Seyfried explains that while animals are hardwired to eat for survival, humans, with conscious awareness, can override this instinct, which can lead to disorders like anorexia. He highlights that modern diets, full of processed carbohydrates and fats, are far removed from what our ancestors ate, causing health issues like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Additionally, he critiques the financial burden of cancer treatments, calling the system immoral, especially for the economically disadvantaged.

In this episode, Dr. Nathan Bryan dives into various aspects of nutrition, health, and physiological processes. He emphasizes the importance of understanding food as fuel and tailoring diets to individual metabolic demands, highlighting the risks of excess carbohydrate consumption for sedentary individuals. Dr. Bryan then discusses the significance of recognizing symptoms as warning signs and reducing sugar intake for better health, advocating for personalized dietary approaches.  He challenges the historical demonization of fats in nutrition and critiques cholesterol-lowering approaches, stressing the essential role of fats in cellular function. Plus, we explore the landscape of intermittent fasting, addressing resistance to new data and the influence of pharmaceutical interests in medicine. Tune in as we chat about the crucial role of nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in various cellular processes, underscoring its importance for cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Dr. Nathan Bryan will be telling us all about how nitric oxide is the root of it all. He’ll go into the how and why nitric oxide is the holy grail of anti-aging medicine and longevity; that is, so long as you're able to produce enough of it. Dr. Bryan will go on to explain that, “Everything we've learned over the past 30 years about the onset and progression of chronic disease all relate to the loss of nitric oxide production. It's the earliest event in the onset and progression of disease.” Resources from this episode:  Website: https://drnathansbryan.com Get Dr Nathan Bryan's Nitric Oxide Supplements and products here: https://bit.ly/3TOuUMW Use the coupon code KETOKAMP for a discount!

It’s estimated that 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. These individuals have what’s called insulin resistance. A better description is hyperinsulinemia. When you have chronically high levels of insulin, you are going to store fat and build disease. I’m going to share with you a 5 step protocol to reverse insulin resistance once and for all! Your first step is to replace insulin producing foods with foods that lower insulin. This leads us to looking at macronutrients. We have 3 macros, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. As you see on the chart, carbohydrates will produce the MOST insulin inside your body. The second method to reverse insulin resistance is eliminate snacking and practice time restricted feeding… The third way to reverse insulin resistance is with block fasting. The fourth way to reverse insulin resistance is to build lean muscle. The fifth way to reverse insulin resistance is to reduce your toxic load.

Today, I am blessed to have Pavel Stuchlik here with me. NOA|AON, also known as Pavel Stuchlik, with over 15 years of experience traveling the world and immersing himself in some of the most rigorous teachings, NOA has become an expert in transformation, self-realization and harmonious living.  Pavel emphasizes the profound impact of breath on life and awareness, viewing it as a gateway to controlling the conscious mind, reducing stress, and enhancing heart rate variability. He introduces the concept of "instant presence," a three-part practice combining breathwork, body awareness, and stillness, which helps anchor individuals in the present moment. By practicing techniques like six-second inhales and exhales, combined with a focus on bodily sensations, Pavel encourages a deeper connection between mind and body. He explains how breathwork can alter states of consciousness, calm the nervous system, and foster self-awareness. Pavel highlights the importance of learning from every situation in life, urging individuals to remain conscious of their choices and use breath as a powerful tool for self-regulation. Pavel emphasizes that the most valuable biohacks are often the simplest and free—such as light, air, and grounding—and that the key to true transformation is to "unhack" everything we've been conditioned to believe. We can unlock our natural psychic senses or spiritual gifts by reconnecting with our inner guidance. He advocates for questioning everything and using breathwork to tap into a deeper consciousness. Pavel believes in a holistic approach that balances physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, integrating these practices into his "System Reset" methodology, which merges biohacking with shamanic and spiritual wisdom. His teachings encourage a shift from rigid discipline to a more playful and intuitive approach to life, underpinned by listening to the inner whispers that guide us on our highest path. Listening to the end of the episode with Pavel is essential because it offers a powerful reflection on how breathwork, meditation, and intentional breaks from daily life can transform not just your inner state but your entire outlook on life. Pavel shares deep insights into surrendering to the present, reconnecting with purpose, and fostering a lifestyle prioritizing balance, creativity, and genuine connection. His personal experiences, like spending time in darkness and engaging in deep self-reflection, inspire a shift from burnout to living authentically in alignment with your highest self.

People treat symptoms like a game of Whac-A-Mole, trying to quickly “whack” away symptoms with medications, fad diets, surgeries, or other short-term fixes. These methods only address surface-level issues, leaving the root cause unchecked, which leads to recurring problems. Many of these recurring issues stem from chronic glucose and insulin spikes in the body. By addressing these spikes and becoming metabolically flexible, you can escape the Whac-A-Mole cycle of symptom-chasing and truly improve health. 5 Ways Being a Sugar Burner Leads to Disease and Weight Gain Chronically Elevated Levels of Insulin Increased Oxidative Stress Depletion of Your Mitochondria Brain Disorders Cancer Growth RESOURCES MENTIONED:  The Diabetes Method Program to reverse diabetes: http://www.diabetesmethod.com The Keto kamp Academy program + coaching with Ben Azadi: http://www.ketokampacademy.com 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MGMtuWpaOnDU_SQbowd29DLBgp76i3GQrvDeEg2Y0co/edit?usp=sharing

I talk a lot about keto and intermittent fasting for fat loss, but in reality when I went from being physically obese at 250 pounds and 34 percent body fat to 170 pounds and 6 percent body fat, my secret was physical activity in the form of walking… (show before and after photos) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qs45bojLbCXCQFOy2VtAUtUwwOPlXP9z?usp=sharing  Walking can be one of the best tools in your shed for serious fat loss. In this lesson, I’ll be sharing with you how walking helps you lose stubborn fat, other surprising benefits of walking, and what the studies say in regards to how many steps you should take each day. Additionally, I’ll be sharing with you some creative ways to use walking for faster results.  Let’s start with how lack of steps leads to the accumulation of fat, especially belly fat… First, we need to understand that we have an obesity problem here in the United States. Harvard is predicating by the year 2030, that 50 percent of the population will be obese! When we look at the average steps people get, we see it is very low at less than 3,000 steps each day. It’s not just the weight loss, it’s your overall health and longevity. The first step here in your protocol is to walk at the right times The second step here in your protocol is to create walking adaptations. The third step is to increase the intensity of your walking.
