#1091 The Exact 5-Step Protocol to Melt 30 Pounds of Fat Before 2026—Food Swaps, Fasting, Sleep, and Biohacks That Actually Work With Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Stephen Sideroff. Dr. Stephen Sideroff is an internationally recognized expert in resilience, optimal performance, addiction, neurofeedback, and alternative approaches to stress and mental health. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, with a joint appointment in the Department of Rheumatology at UCLA’s School of Medicine, as well as the Director of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics. For over 40 years, Dr. Sideroff has been passionate about studying and understanding resilience and optimal performance. He has developed and established innovative models of behavior and treatment approaches for restoring physical, emotional, and mental balance and effectiveness in North America, Europe, and Asia. In this episode, Dr. Sideroff talks about why we decided to dedicate his life to resilience. Unfortunately, many people have great resistance to managing their stress. That’s why Dr. Sideroff discusses the importance of keeping your nervous system in a good place, how your childhood environment plays a role in your resilience, and unpacking the unconscious to face difficult feelings. Tune in as we dive into Dr. Sideroff’s Resilience Assessment Booklet and how to measure a critical aspect of your physiology.  ng May 9th 2022.

He was interested in finding the brain's connections, so he started a career as a brain researcher.  Eventually, he started doing stress management workshops for organizations and corporations. After the workshops, people felt inspired to make changes in their lives. A few months later, very few people actually followed through with those changes. Down the road, Dr. Sideroff began to identify why we have great resistance to managing our stress.  [05:45] Keeping The Nervous System In A Good Place Through Resilience  When we think about resilience, we think about the ability to bounce back and recover after a stressful event.  If you view the world as dangerous, you expect a problem to arise.  When you anticipate danger, your body mobilizes for that danger.  If you're continually activating your nervous system in preparation for danger, you're not allowing your body to recover fully. The ability to bounce back is part of resilience.  [09:40] How The Environment of Our Childhood Will Affect Our Resilience  Primitive Gestalt patterns are how our brain develops throughout childhood based on the lessons of our childhood environment.  Our brain literally forms its circuitry based on those childhood lessons. We adapt to our childhood environment. Then our adaptation gets locked in. If our childhood was dangerous, we as adults continue to think the world is just as dangerous. Resilience is about being able to think outside the box and adapt to our current environment.  Many of the consequences of our childhood are not something that we're always conscious about. [14:50] Unpacking The Unconscious To Live A Happier Life The first step in unpacking the unconscious is a willingness to face complicated feelings, emotions, and issues.  Next, you have to be accepting of whatever emotions you have. You can love your mother and father yet still be angry at them. Living a happier and healthier life is about a willingness to grow up. [20:50] The First Three Pillars From The Path: Mastering the Nine Pillars of Resilience and Success What is the most crucial relationship that you have? It’s the relationship with yourself.  Consider these questions: Are you critical and judgmental of yourself?  Do you put yourself down?  Are you loving, accepting, and compassionate toward yourself?  The first pillar is all about how you treat yourself and then comparing that to the healthy or ideal way of treating yourself. You can do this by becoming consciously aware of your thoughts.  The second pillar is your relationship with others. Are you able to tell the difference between healthy and toxic relationships?  The third pillar is a relationship with something more significant; this extends to the community at large.  [33:40] Autonomic Dysregulation Syndrome and The Process of Aging  Dr. Sideroff has proposed an actual diagnostic code which he calls autonomic dysregulation syndrome.  70 to 80% of visits to the doctor's office result from this autonomic dysregulation syndrome.  It underlies whether you have headaches, high blood pressure, or autoimmune disease.  We now have direct evidence that stress speeds up the aging process.  All illness is simply an expression of the aging process.  Luckily, resilience is one way of slowing down the aging process.  [38:45] Get The Resilience Assessment Booklet From Dr. Stephen Sideroff  Here’s a link to The Resilience Assessment Booklet: https://drstephensideroff.com/resilience-assessment-booklet-395/ Dr. Sideroff has created a comprehensive model for living in balance and health.  His assessment booklet identifies the nine components of his model and gives a brief and readily understood description of these nine elements of a foundation for resilience.  It then presents a 40 item questionnaire and self-scoring profile that allows you to gauge your areas of strength along with those areas needing more significant development. [43:45] The Connection Between Heart Rate Variability and Gratitude Your heart rate is never on a constant level.  If it is constant, that’s a sign that you are unhealthy.  You want to have a heart rate change in a very systematic way. Heart rate variability links your cardiovascular system, nervous system, respiratory system, and emotions.  As you breathe in, your heart rate speeds up because you're activating the sympathetic branch of your nervous system. One of the things that facilitate optimal heart rate variability is gratitude. AND MUCH MORE!

It's about building muscle tissue; it handles growth and cell reproduction. Kids have a high driving mTOR because their bodies are growing fast. The same goes for pregnant women. We still want activity in the mTOR pathway, mainly because we want to maintain lean body tissue, be resilient, and be fit. Basically, mTOR helps us be strong, healthy, and preserve muscle tissue. However, when mTOR is turned on all the time, now we end up with too much inflammation. Autophagy will help you find balance because it suppresses mTOR.  What Happens When Our Body Gets Rid of A Cell?  When your body gets rid of a cell, it will replace it. It creates new young embryonic cells with more stress resiliency and stronger mitochondria. When we have these senescence cells that are continuing to divide, they create more copies of badly damaged cells. So instead, we want to get rid of those, or we want to repair them before they become a zombie cell. If they've already become zombies, we get rid of them and replace them with these young embryonic stem cells. Why Dr. Jockers Loves Keto  Keto just allows his brain to function at its best; it's really a state of thriving. When ketones are elevated, your body becomes highly energy efficient. He feels more at peace and calmer when he is in ketosis. In ketosis, your brain can function at a higher level, and you can create at a higher level. In human history, when they didn't have food, they needed to become creative, and they needed to be resilient. If we are always well-fed, then we become lazy. Ketones have allowed humanity to survive times of famine, stress, and challenge. Overall, ketosis primes us for optimum health. The Importance of Fasting on Your Health Journey If you can fast for twenty-four hours, that's a sign that you are metabolically fit. Also, that's a sign that you are insulin sensitive, and just about all chronic diseases are related to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. Fasting also has a powerful effect on enhancing healing of the gut lining and enhancing the microbiome's diversity. 90 to 95% of chronic diseases would be gone if people did a twenty-four-hour fast once a week. We would get rid of more diseases by focusing on nutritional habits and intermittent fasting. Why We Don’t Want To Do Keto Forever Keto is a nutrition plan that, in a sense, mimics fasting in that it keeps insulin down. We need higher insulin for short periods to tell the body to produce certain hormones and tell the body to build and grow. We want to replenish our bodies entirely and make the hormones we need to thrive. Sex hormones, for example, and thyroid hormones, depend upon enough insulin to get the right amount of stimulation. Many people, they're already producing too much insulin. Once insulin gets down, we want to elevate it for short periods then drop it down again.

It can feel frustrating when you’re doing everything right, and you hit a plateau.  Hot flashes, weight gain, and energy issues are massive symptoms.  Menopause is natural. However, suffering is optional.  In a quick window of time, we can feel improvements and feel empowered.  [07:10] The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Ovarian Function   We can restore and keep healthy ovarian function by looking at hormone disrupters and clearing them from our bodies. Plus, we should support the liver and detoxification.  Healthy habits will allow us to have our menstrual cycles for longer - it’s a longevity marker. One of the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes is menopause. A higher risk factor is if you've had a hysterectomy. Thirdly, if you've had your ovaries removed, you have a significantly higher risk of diabetes. If you had your ovaries removed, even before 65, your risk of cardiovascular disease is almost double.  The association with diabetes tells how important it is to maintain healthy ovarian function.  [09:10] Why Women Need More Ketones Between The Ages of 35 and 55  During ages 35 - 55, the use of glucose in a women’s brain significantly decreases.  Instead, you shift to using ketones for fuel in the brain. Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of greens. Depending on your symptoms, you have to pause greens, or you may have to pause meat.  Sometimes we need to challenge our gut bacteria, and sometimes, we have to support digestive enzymes. It depends on your unique needs.  [14:15] Why You May Want To Consider Using A Progesterone Cream  Dr. Anna Cabeca is a massive fan of progesterone.  There are progesterone receptors in our brain, bones, and breasts. Progesterone supports healthy breast tissue.  Plus, progesterone will support healthy metabolism and healthy neuroendocrine function.  Dr. Cabeca has used progesterone in men for anxiety and insomnia; it is a total game-changer.  Oral progesterone is excellent if you are working on sleep.  Check out Balance if you’re looking for a progesterone cream: https://drannacabeca.com/products/pura-balance-ppr-cream. [22:40] Gratitude and Positive Thinking Can Make You Happier  You have to pause negative thinking.  Negative thoughts will predominate our lives if we allow them to.  Try gratitude and praying.  There is always something to be grateful for.  Gratitude is so easy to do, making it easy not to do.  People have 60,000 thoughts per day - most of them are negative. It’s time to pause and think about gratitude.  [28:45] Using Mighty Maca To Alkalize The Body and Balance Hormones  Ideally, we're working on restoring our natural ovarian production or natural adrenal production. When Dr. Cabeca looks at fertility, she will look at a 21-day progesterone level.  Mighty Maca is something Dr.Cabeca recommends for adrenal support.  One of Dr. Cabeca’s clients used Mighty Maca to fix her progesterone levels and finally get pregnant. Get Mighty Maca here: https://drannacabeca.com/products/mighty-maca [33:10] Unique Plans To Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau  If you hit a plateau, it’s time to pause and try something new. There are five different six-day menu plans.  The gut mucosa regenerates every 72 hours. So a six-day plan will give you two 72 hour cycles.  Here are some of the menu plans: Pausing nightshades Plant-based menu Carnivore menu A cleanse with a gallbladder liver flush Adding healthy carbs AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Michael Brandt. He is the co-founder and CEO of H.V.M.N.  Michael is an avid triathlete and marathoner (2:42 PR). Prior to starting H.V.M.N., he received his BS in Computer Science & Design at Stanford, was a Product Manager at Google, and Adjunct Professor at the Academy of Art in SF. He has always been a leader, and lifelong student, in designing products for new and emerging needs. In this episode, Michael talks about how he got involved in the biohacking space, and the inspiration behind H.V.M.N. Michael explains why Americans can significantly benefit from a ketogenic lifestyle and how exogenous ketones can fit into your diet. H.V.M.N. is a drinkable ketone; Michael describes how their products differ from their competition. Tune in as we chat about MCT powder, biohacks, and who should be careful about taking exogenous ketones.  Get your HVMN products here: https://hvmn.com/?rfsn=6500737.21298f use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 10% off your entire order.

In 2017, Michael and his business partner launched their first ketone drink. Luckily, their first big customer was the United States Department of Defense.  It’s important to know that drinking a ketone is not the same as doing a ketogenic diet. There’s a lot of research going on, and it’s an exciting time for ketones!  [04:10] Why You May Benefit From A Ketogenic Lifestyle  COVID highlighted the metabolic dysfunction that is going on in society.  If you have a less metabolically healthy profile, you're more susceptible to COVID. There’s an even bigger pandemic than COVID; it’s metabolic health. 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy.  All Americans can benefit from a ketogenic lifestyle because it can help improve their metabolic health.  [07:20] What Makes H.V.M.N. Different From Other Companies  A lot of brands are making great products that include exogenous ketones.  H.V.M.N. does not include any seed oils.  Their whole breakthrough was making a natural pure ketone that doesn't have salt. The ketones go directly to blood BHB and elevate your blood ketone levels. The Department of Defense was interested because they have been researching ketones since the early 2000s.  H.V.M.N. has made the most effective ketone delivery mechanism.  Overall, it works better than ketone salts. [15:35] Why You May Want To Avoid Exogenous Ketones  If you have any liver issues, then avoid exogenous ketones.  There are calories in ketones. Ketones will temporarily slow down your body’s rate of producing its own ketones from fat.  So, if your goal is fasting with zero calories, you may want to avoid exogenous ketones.  You want to use exogenous ketones in conjunction with other metabolically healthy exercises.  You shouldn’t have exogenous ketones on top of a bad diet.  [31:10] Some Biohacks To Try While Using Ketone-IQ Ketone-IQ™️ is a drinkable ketone designed to be taken daily to support mental clarity, athletic performance, and metabolic health. Check it out here: https://hvmn.com/?rfsn=6500737.21298f use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 10% off your entire order. Ketone-IQ can be a source of energy while doing a ketogenic lifestyle. If you are feeling sluggish, Ketone-IQ can help you immensely.  Athletes are using Ketone-IQ to improve performance.  [43:50] What To Know About C8, The Most Ketogenic MCT MCT means medium chain triglyceride. MCT fats are the most ketogenic; they can readily turn into ketones.  C8 specifically can turn into ketones endogenously better than all the other MCTs. If you’re going to get any type of MCT out there, look for pure C8.  Check out MCT Oil Powder: https://hvmn.com/products/mct-oil-powder [47:10] More Products You Can Try From H.V.M.N.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me an investigative science and health journalist and co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI.org), Gary Taubes. He is the author of The Case Against Sugar (2016), Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It (2011), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), published as The Diet Delusion in the UK.  Taubes is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research and has won numerous other journalism awards. These include the International Health Reporting Award from the Pan American Health Organization and the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award, which he won in 1996, 1999, and 2001. (He is the first print journalist to win this award three times.)  Taubes graduated from Harvard College in 1977 with an SB degree in applied physics and received an MS degree in engineering from Stanford University (1978) and in journalism from Columbia University (1981). In this episode, Gary Taubes joins the show to speak about his work shining a light on bad science in the nutritional realm. After publishing What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, Gary faced loads of backlash. However, that didn’t stop him. Gary has published countless books about why we need to ditch carbs, stop eating sugar, and start eating fats. Gary speaks about the inspiration behind his book, The Case For Keto. After interviewing 120 doctors from around the world that recommend the keto lifestyle, his book talks about why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss. Tune in as we talk about why calories in, calories out is a terrible way to lose weight.  Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  NutriSense Continue Glucose Monitor.

The disconnect is especially terrible in the nutritional world.  After reporting about the DASH diet study, Gary found that eating a low-sodium diet wouldn’t help lower your blood pressure.  Then, Gary decided to start researching the low-fat diet. Gary keeps exploring different aspects of nutrition by shining a flashlight on dark science.  [06:50] The Backlash From Gary’s Work Gary found that fat doesn’t make you fat; it’s carbs.  After the New York Times ran his story, What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, there was a massive uproar. Gary even lost a few friends because of the article.  People thought Gary made the research up to get a book deal.  All sorts of magazines did take-downs of Gary.  When Gary’s first book came out, there was still an uproar. People assume that he’s a quack.  [20:35] About The Case For Keto Carbs are the reason that you get obese. However, the counterargument is always Asia. These people have lived primarily on rice. The answer is that they are low sugar consumers.  After we discovered insulin, people thought they needed carbs to balance the insulin. Insulin and carbs should not be the answer to people with diabetes.  Doctors will argue that patients do not want to give up carbs. However, most doctors agree that their patients should not be eating sweets. As keto started to catch on in mainstream media, Gary knew he needed to create a book for people who are trying keto for the first time. For his book, Gary interviewed about 120 doctors from all over the world.  [37:35] Being In Ketosis Long-Term Gary interviewed 120 doctors from all over the world; most of them don’t care if people are in ketosis long-term.  These doctors are mostly concerned with people getting off of carbs.  Ben says that it is healthy to reset the metabolism and work on carb-cycling.  [43:45] Why Calories In, Calories Out Is A Terrible Way To Lose Weight    You can starve yourself and lose weight – however, you will be starving all of the time, and it’s not sustainable.  The idea that people get fat because they overeat is a thin person’s perspective on obesity. However, it’s a tautology. Insulin tells your body to store calories as fat. By the end of the 1960s, it was clear that people who are obese tend to be insulin resistant; carbs stimulate insulin, which tells your body to store fat. Overall, people with obesity don’t respond normally to insulin.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Wendie Trubow. Husband-and-wife team Wendie Trubow and Ed Levitan are physicians and functional medicine practitioners with more than thirty-five years of combined experience in the medical field.  Their first functional medicine practice became the largest in the nation during its time. Eight years later, they launched their membership-based wellness organization, Five Journeys, where they focus on the integration of five core areas of health to create comprehensive, individualized wellness plans for their members. Ed and Wendie live in the Boston area with their four kids, two cats, nine chickens, and, of course, their sauna, the newest addition to their family! In this episode, Dr. Wendie opens the show by describing the journey that led to a celiac diagnosis and all sorts of toxin exposures. One of those toxin exposures is from silver amalgam fillings; Dr. Wendie explains the importance of finding the right dentist to help get those removed. We discuss mercury poisoning and why eating certain types of fish can make your exposure even worse. Tune in as we chat about ditching sugar, buying clean products, and enemas as a way to retrain your gut muscles.  Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / 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.

Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H7SLC6D/benazadi-20 [18:55] Why It’s Important To Find The Right Dentist  Living, eating, drinking, brushing your teeth, chewing food, and anything warm will release mercury into your system from silver amalgam fillings.  Silver amalgam fillings are so toxic that you can’t throw them in the trash. Instead, you need to dispose of them as toxic waste.  Get your fillings removed safely. When you pull out your fillings, it’s hazardous, so you need a dentist who takes it seriously.  Find a dentist at IAOMT: https://iaomt.org/. [24:20] If You Don’t Know What An Ingredient Is, Then Don’t Put It In Your Body You can’t assume anything is safe until proven otherwise.  Instead, you should presume that anything you can’t pronounce is not safe. Dr. Wendie taught her children that if they can’t read an ingredient, they can’t put it in their bodies. If you don’t know something, then it shouldn’t be in or on your body.  [27:40] Mercury Poisoning: How Fish Consumption Is Causing Problems  When mercury gets released into the atmosphere and lands in the oceans, it gets converted into methylmercury, which is harmful.  Then, fish will ingest the methylmercury.  The bigger the fist, the more methylmercury they have ingested.  When you're eating these high mercury fish, you're getting more than one serving of mercury.  If you’re eating fish regularly, you’re aggregating the exposure.  [31:40] About The Holy Trinity and What Role That Plays With People Feeling Sick and Tired The adrenals run the show; it’s the first part of the holy trinity.  Attached to the adrenals is the liver. The liver does a tremendous amount of detox work.  The liver uses alcohol dehydrogenase and breaks down the alcohol to prevent death from overconsumption.  If you drink too much, you will get alcohol poisoning, and your liver can’t keep up.  Under stress, your adrenals will tell the liver to stop what it is doing.  Most of our stressors are not life or death. However, the body cannot tell the difference.  The third part of the holy trinity is the gut. During stress, you will not be digesting food. If the adrenals, liver, or gut are not working correctly, you will not be able to detox.  [37:00] The Reasons You Should Stop Eating Sugar All of The Time You want to stop anything that stresses the liver. Sugar will stress the liver.  If hormones are improperly balanced, they will strain the liver. Two hundred years ago, our ancestors ate as much sugar in a year, as we eat in a day.  The average human eats 40 grams of sugar or more a day. Sugar is it’s own type of toxin; sugar will throw off the microbiome.  Instead, you should eat foods that help the liver, like cruciferous vegetables, turmeric, eggs, meats, and cheeses.  [41:50] Enemas Are A Great Way To Retrain The Gut Coffee enemas can help you detox. Enemas are retraining the gut muscles.  Ideally, you want your poop to be a nice pipe.  If you’re constipated, that muscle in the gut is overly stretched. When it gets overly stretched, it forgets how to do its job.  Retraining the gut to contract can be very valuable for people. [44:55] Stop Buying Toxic Products: Here’s Some Changes You Can Make Dr. Wendie uses the Environmental Working Group (EWG) as a resource. Check out EWG: https://www.ewg.org/ Dr. Wendie will clean her house with products from Aspen Clean.  Aspen Clean: https://www.aspenclean.com/ Look for a mattress that does not add fire retardants because wool can be a natural fire retardant.  Also, don’t use air fresheners. Make sure you are using things that are natural in your home.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Risa Groux. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused chronic inflammation and a host of other health issues. She became determined to find the root cause to reverse it without medications.  With the proper testing and subsequent dietary and supplement treatment, Risa successfully and naturally reversed her symptoms. This inspired Risa to obtain her certification as an autoimmune specialist in addition to her clinical nutrition certification. This enabled her to help her clients focus on the root causes of their health concerns and treat them naturally through diet and supplementation. Risa focuses on foundational issues, including systemic inflammation, gut health, and lab testing to determine root causes. In this episode, Risa speaks about her Hashimoto’s diagnosis and the importance of getting to the root cause. As someone who struggled with thyroid issues, Risa knows exactly what to look for in blood work. She explains which markers are critical to understanding if you have thyroid complications. Then, Risa discusses why she hates the word “diet” and dives into her book, FoodFrame: Diet Is A Four Letter. Tune in as we chat about why you shouldn’t stay in ketosis forever, reversing insulin resistance, and which sweeteners are best for a ketogenic lifestyle.  Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / 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.

She was fascinated by why some foods are considered good while others are considered bad. At one point, Risa was having fertility issues. She found out that she had a low-functioning thyroid.  The doctor gave Risa medication that she was supposed to take for the rest of her life.  Eventually, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Risa had no idea why her thyroid was attacking itself.  [07:15] What Risa Will Test For When It Comes To Thyroid Issues  Risa tests for all nine markers of the thyroid.  Then, Risa will help people create T4; it is 93% of the equation. T4 needs to convert to T3; that is your active thyroid hormone, and it’s only 7% of the equation.  When Risa tests for hormones, she looks at free and total. Free means it’s usable to the body, and the total is not useable.  Plus, Risa will look at reverse T3; it’s when stress hormones could be pulling T3 and reversing it.  Also, Risa looks at T3 uptake. It’s when sex hormones can compete with the thyroid. Lastly, Risa looks at TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies. [12:10] Risa Explains What Is Wrong With The Word “Diet”  People associate diet with deprivation.  We should not be depriving ourselves.  If your children are hungry, you feed them.  Diet has been marketed as a temporary deprivation for weight loss. In reality, weight loss is a side effect of wellness.  Instead, you need to eat real food to lose weight.  You shouldn’t care about the numbers on the scale; instead, you should care about the numbers on the blood work.  [16:35] Which FoodFrame Is Best For You?  Take the FoodFrame Quiz: https://www.risagrouxnutrition.com/diet-quiz The first step is to detox; you need to clean your body. Unfortunately, the FDA has approved 86,000 chemicals for us to use. Sadly, most of them aren’t even tested.  We accumulate toxins in what we eat, breathe, and put on our skin. The average female comes in contact with 200 toxins before leaving the bathroom each morning.  After you detox, there are six different eating lifestyles to choose from. You need to eat according to your health status.  [20:50] You Can Reverse Insulin Resistance By Using Food  One out of three children born today will be type two diabetic. Everyone has high blood sugar. We are eating way too many carbs, and we are eating way too often.  High blood sugar will bring you into third state inflammation.  Risa will look extensively at blood sugars.  Remember, insulin resistance is 100% reversible.  Risa will use keto for anyone who is diabetic or pre-diabetic. Also, if you have insulin resistance, Risa will suggest keto.  Keto is not suitable for people who have fat malabsorption.  Risa uses GI-MAP: https://www.diagnosticsolutionslab.com/tests/gi-map [27:50] The Three Sweeteners That Risa Recommends For People Following Keto There are three sweeteners that Risa highly recommends:  Allulose Monkfruit  Stevia [33:45] C-peptide 2.0 or Higher Means You Have Insulin Resistance  C-peptide is our most stable marker for insulin production. You want that number at 1.5.  Anything 2.0 or higher is insulin resistant.  Inside every cell has mitochondria. The fuel for mitochondria is sugars.  Those receptors are closed, broken, or hindered if you have insulin resistance.  To gain weight, you need to close those cells.  Another way to gain weight is to give your cells more than it needs. To lose weight, give cells less than they need.  [43:00] Why You Should Not Stay In Ketosis Forever  The two primary goals of living organisms are to survive and to procreate. If you have issues surviving or reproducing, you need to see why. Keto is great because it changes the fuel source from carbs to fat.  Risa says ketosis is challenging to sustain, but it can be done. If you feel great on keto, then that’s awesome!  Don’t use keto as a diet; use it as a tool.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Risa’s Website: https://www.risagrouxnutrition.com/ Follow Risa Groux  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risagrouxnutrition/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/risagrouxnutrition/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/risagroux YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcPrEkb2SzlzJIBVgTp0byg Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/risagroux/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@risagrouxnutrition FoodFrame: Diet Is A Four Letter Word:https://www.amazon.com/Foodframe-Four-Letter-Risa-Groux-Cn/dp/1665706384/benazadi-20 Take the FoodFrame Quiz: https://www.risagrouxnutrition.com/diet-quiz GI-MAP: https://www.diagnosticsolutionslab.com/tests/gi-map FoodMarble: https://foodmarble.com/ Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / 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.
