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.
