9 Important Blood Tests to Order on Keto - Ben Azadi KKP: 600
9 Important Blood Tests to Order on Keto Don’t guess, test! The more data you have, the more metrics you can analyze for progress and necessary tweaks. I am going to share with you 9 blood tests. Not only will I share them with you, but I will also explain what they mean and the optimal numbers to aim for. The first thing I want you to realize is that the reference ranges on your lab report is not the same as the healthy ranges you should aim for. Lab companies such as LabCorp, Quest and many others, are factoring in your countries entire population who have done these labs before. We live in a sick world of unhealthy people, so why would we aim to be the average of unhealthy people? Instead, I encourage you to aim for the functional reference range. Functional medicine lab ranges are usually much narrower than standard lab ranges. They are labeled “optimal lab values,” meaning anything outside of those optimal values can show patterns and markers that spot trends toward disease. When I give you the suggested reference ranges to hit with the following labs, these are functional medicine lab ranges.

How gummed up with sugar are your blood cells? Hemoglobin A1C (hbA1c) measures your average blood sugar from the past 3 months. Your red blood cells carry oxygen to your tissues using a protein called Hemoglobin A. The higher your blood glucose, the more glucose sticks to the hemoglobin A1c protein. How glycated is your hemoglobin? Glycation is a spontaneous non-enzymatic reaction of free reducing sugars with free amino groups of proteins, DNA, and lipids that forms glycated residues. Sugar is sticky (think of cotton candy sticking to your fingers) and this sugar can gunk up your arteries and cells. Our red blood cells keep a record of your behavior. The answer hides in your red blood cells – specifically, your hemoglobin. A1C measures average blood sugars by detecting the glucose stuck to the hemoglobin protein. The higher A1C, the more glucose glycated your protein. Test your hemoglobin A1C to learn your average blood sugar. You can request this test from your doctor. There are also companies who have created A1C test kits to do at the comfort of your own home. A “normal” A1C level is below 5.7%, a level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes, and a level of 6.5% or more indicates diabetes. Within the 5.7% to 6.4% prediabetes range, the higher your A1C, the greater your risk is for developing type 2 diabetes. The functional medicine range of A1C is 5.2% or lower. C-Peptide. C-peptide is a substance that is created when the hormone insulin is produced and released into the body. The insulin C-peptide test measures the amount of this product in the blood. The pancreas makes insulin, but not directly. The beta cells in the pancreas first produce a protein called “proinsulin.” Each proinsulin breaks down to one molecule of insulin and one molecule of C–peptide. Both are released when blood sugar levels get high. The more your beta cells get stimulated for insulin production, the faster you gain weight and create inflammation. While moderate levels lower inflammation, even slightly higher levels have been linked to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and cancer. C-peptide can give you a good idea if you’ve been overworking your beta cells. The functional medicine range for C-peptide is 0.8 – 3.8 ng/mL. Levels below 0.6 ng/mL (0.2 nmol/L) are a sign of possible beta cell failure and type 1 diabetes. High C-peptide levels indicate that the body is producing too much insulin. Fasting Insulin. This is a great compliment to the C-peptide test. Testing your insulin can reveal hidden problems in the way your body controls your blood sugar, years before they escalate to more serious issues, such as diabetes. In many cases, your blood sugar levels might not change for 10+ years, meanwhile you are getting closer each day to developing diabetes. This is because insulin is working so hard to keep those sugar levels “normal”. After a period, insulin cannot keep up with the demand. At this point blood sugars start to rise, and a diagnosis of prediabetes or diabetes is made. A fasting insulin test allows you to see if you are insulin resistant or on the road to insulin resistance. The standard reference range for a fasting insulin is less than 25 uIU/mL. The functional medicine range for fasting insulin is 3 – 7 uIU/mL. 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin (and hormone) the body needs to build and maintain strong bones. It helps absorb calcium in the gut, keeping calcium and phosphorus in balance to mineralize bones. Vitamin D also helps support immune balance. Most people are deficient in Vitamin D. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency may include: - Fatigue - Not sleeping well - Bone pain or achiness - Depression or feelings of sadness - Hair loss - Muscle weakness - Loss of appetite - Getting sick more easily - Pale skin Is the solution to take Vitamin D supplements? Not really. I am not opposed to taking a fat-soluble complex supplement, but it isn’t until you lower insulin that you’ll be able to change your Vitamin D numbers for the better. High insulin levels block the production of Vitamin D! You can take all the vitamin D in the world, and get sunshine every day, but you will not optimize your vitamin D levels until insulin is optimized. The great news for you, this book will teach you how to do this. The standard reference range on your lab report is typically 30-80 ng/mL. The functional medicine range for Vitamin D is 60-80 ng/mL) Homocysteine. High homocysteine has been linked to many health problems including heart disease, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. When homocysteine cannot be converted to other compounds, it builds up in the body and may cause damage. B vitamins play a very important role in this balance. The standard reference range for homocysteine is under 14.5 umol/L. The functional medicine range for homocysteine is 5 – 7 umol/L. High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. An important marker of systemic inflammation. While this protein helps you fight infections, it is also a marker of low-grade inflammation and a predictor of your heart disease risk. People with higher hs-CRP values have a more elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and those with lower values have less risk. Standard reference range for hs-CRP is 0 – 3.0 mg/L. Functional medicine range for hs-CRP is 0.5 mg/L or under. Let’s talk about lipids! The most common questions I get asked on social media is about cholesterol. Here are the markers I suggest you get done to assess if you are risk for heart disease. You will not see total cholesterol on here because this marker is close to meaningless. High Density Lipoprotein Count (HDL-C). HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is often referred to as the “good” cholesterol because it helps to remove the “bad” cholesterol from the body and is required for many vital processes within the body. Having high levels of HDL cholesterol has been shown to decrease your risk for heart disease. Cholesterol transported by HDL is known as “good” cholesterol because it is being removed from artery walls, which helps prevent, reduce, and even reverse hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and heart disease [2]. HDL also plays a role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, improving cell and immune function, enhancing insulin sensivity, and may protect against neurodegenerative disorders [5, 6, 7]. The standard reference range for HDL for men is 35 – 65 mg/dl, for women is 35 – 80 mg/dl. The functional reference range for HDL for men and women is 60-90 mg/dl. Triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides can increase your risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions. Triglycerides can be stored in fat tissue, or can be used as energy. For example, the body can release stored fats into the bloodstream as fatty acids when you don’t eat for a prolonged time. These fatty acids travel back to the liver, which transforms them into triglyceride-containing very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) that are returned into the blood. On the other hand, your body stores more triglycerides when you overeat or have an unhealthy diet, such as the good ol’ standard American diet. The standard reference range for triglycerides is under 150 mg/dL. The functional medicine range for triglycerides is under 90 mg/dL. Triglycerides to HDL ratio (TG:HDL). Your Triglyceride/HDL ratio helps offer a lifelong metric for your health. TG:HDL is one of the criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, which was briefly known as Reaven’s syndrome, named after Gerald Reaven, MD, of Stanford University. He and his colleagues around the world pioneered much of the research on TG:HDL ratio that indicates cardiovascular risk. TG:HDL is a strong marker of lifestyle factors—Your TG:HDL ratio offers a way to see whether you have a metabolism that naturally has cardiac protection or whether you need to earn it. To calculate your TG:HDL ratio, you simply take your total triglycerides and divide this by your total HDL. The standard reference range for TG: HDL is below 3.5 The functional medicine range for TG: HDL is below 1.5. // R E S O U R C E S http://www.ketokampmachine.com Keto Mojo device, use code KETOKAMP Get your supplements here: http://www.ketokampsupplements.com // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

[04:59] What significance does being aware of and committed to maintaining a safe environment have? · After Megan married and planned to start a family, unexpected environmental toxin issues caused health problems, delaying their plans and requiring a crash course in environmental toxins. · The couple moved to the Bay Area due to career opportunities. However, the relocation and the subsequent pandemic added further obstacles to their journey to parenthood, making it logistically challenging to conceive conventionally. · The discovery of low ovarian reserves due to PCOS led the couple to pursue IVF intentionally to bank embryos, ensuring options for future pregnancies. Multiple rounds of embryo collections were required, reflecting their challenges while striving to expand their family. · Megan shares their experience of overcoming metabolic illnesses, insulin resistance, and weight loss, only to face a severe setback due to exposure to environmental toxins. Their health suffered, almost costing them everything, including their marriage and professional endeavours. · Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, fasting, and utilizing various tools, constant exposure to environmental toxins caused significant cellular inflammation. The resulting health issues required thyroid medication and high doses of T3 to function. · The move to a healthier environment demonstrated the immediate impact of environmental changes on Megan’s health. It highlighted the importance of thoroughly investigating potential properties for toxins before purchasing and being prepared for the associated costs. Megan emphasizes the need for awareness and commitment to creating a safe environment. [20:25] A Guide to Navigating Hormonal Differences in Women with Metabolic Disease · Recognizing the role of insulin resistance in driving hormonal imbalances, including PCOS, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing its management to achieve better health outcomes. · Women experience hormonal fluctuations throughout their lives, which can influence their ability to fast and affect their health goals. By acknowledging the impact of hormones on fastings, such as the suppression of certain hormones and potential metabolic complications, women can adapt their fasting strategies to align with their hormonal cycles. · The menstrual cycle consists of distinct phases with varying hormone dominance. Women can optimize their fasting experience and support hormone production by modifying fasting approaches and adopting time-restricted eating strategies. Recognizing the importance of changing fasting protocols during different phases allows for improved hormone balance and metabolic outcomes. [30:51] Acknowledge and Honor Your Unique Hormonal Cycle · Every woman's hormonal cycle is unique, and it's important to recognize and honour those variations. By observing how fasting and nutritional choices align with personal hormonal fluctuations, women can tailor their approach accordingly and find a balance that works for them. · Women can use the moon cycle as an illustrative guide to adapt their fasting and eating patterns. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, adjusting the dial on fasting intensity based on how it feels can provide a flexible and intuitive way to navigate hormonal changes and individual needs. ·: In a society inundated with external influences and societal expectations, reconnecting with one's body and intuition is crucial. Regularly checking in with oneself, listening to the body's signals, and adjusting fasting and nutrition strategies can lead to a more intuitive and sustainable approach to health and well-being. [41:42] How can your overall health outcomes be maintained and improved? · When starting a fasting and keto journey for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, strictness may vary based on personal circumstances and goals. Tailoring the approach to each individual's needs and preferences is crucial for long-term success. · A more strict and therapeutic fasting approach may be initially recommended to address severe insulin resistance and metabolic issues. This can involve longer fasting periods, time-restricted eating, and cutting out snacking and late-night eating to promote improved blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity. · Once significant improvements are achieved, adjustments can be made to incorporate variations and explore different strategies, such as including more carbohydrates or modifying fasting durations. Finding a balance between therapeutic protocols and sustainable long-term practices is important for maintaining progress and optimizing overall health outcomes. [47:10] How can women Manage their Hormonal Changes and Fasting Strategies? · Ovaries are crucial in producing sex hormones throughout a woman's childbearing years. As they retire, estrogen levels decline, leading to symptoms like sleep disturbances and hormonal imbalances. The adrenal glands step in to compensate, but chronic stress and age-related factors can further impact hormone production. · Postmenopausal women can benefit from a proactive approach to fasting. Hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance can be reduced by addressing insulin resistance and emphasizing fat loss. Aggressive fasting protocols, similar to those used for diabetes management, are often implemented while also considering individual variations and the impact of stress. · Supporting women through hormonal fluctuations during fasting involves adopting a compassionate mindset and allowing for self-compassion during challenging times. Time-restricted eating and a more ketogenic approach can be incorporated during certain phases. Carb cycling remains beneficial for overall hormonal balance and metabolic health. AND MUCH MORE!

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list. [01:15] Angela Speaks About Her Journey To Health Angela was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). She was being prescribed Metformin, and Angela had insulin resistance. After doing research, Angela started to understand that there was a connection between PCOS and what she ate. When Angela had the surgery for PCOS, she found out about her endometriosis. After having three children, Angela realized there is a connection between the brain, the body, and the impact on your immune system. [06:30] Advice For Dealing With Depression The first thing you need is acceptance. In life, the only thing you can be certain of is change. Anything you can do to create peace in your life will be helpful to you. If you want to run away from yourself, how are you going to sit with yourself? Work on dealing with small moments first. [10:40] The Brain and Gut Connection: Depression Is Linked To Leaky Gut About 90% of serotonin is made in the gut. You can help your gut to create more serotonin. Aligning with your circadian rhythm will also improve your brain. Natural light from the sun will significantly improve your circadian rhythm and allow you to get more sleep at night. Women are depleted of vital nutrients, particularly things like DHA in the brain. It takes a woman two years to recover from pregnancy. [14:10] How You Can Reverse Your PCOS For Good PCOS is a syndrome and is related to insulin resistance. Carbs, stress, and not sleeping will raise your blood sugar. Some people are genetically more carb sensitive. Having protein and healthy fats are really key things that make you feel better. If you have too many carbs, you will feel quite foggy. Another thing that improves insulin sensitivity is strength training. [21:30] Sleep Is An Essential Pillar of Health Sleep is going to make everything else in your life easier. In Angela’s corporate job, people would brag about only getting three hours of sleep at night. Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep. You are compromising your health and the way you look when you get less than six hours of sleep at night. [25:35] Tips For Getting Better Sleep At Night How well you sleep tonight is going to be changed by what you did this morning. Get outside early in the morning. That way, you're really regulating the cortisol and melatonin cycle. Red light therapy is also a beneficial tool. Another tip for getting better sleep at night is limiting your exposure to blue lights. [31:10] Hormones: Know When To Dial Back Your Stressors Make sure you have a nutrient-rich diet and you are not constantly stressing your body out. Everyone should fast for at least twelve hours every day. For women, there’s a time when you can push and stress your body, and there are times when you should not. Before your period, you're naturally going to have higher levels of inflammation, so it’s time to do less high-intensity exercises and start dialing things back. [35:00] The Importance of Insights On Your Health Journey You need to know how you feel when you wake up in the morning. If you don’t have a way of tracking, then it will be challenging to know when things start to change. If you can’t afford trackers, just start with pen and paper. A CGM is probably the best thing you can get to really fine-tune your eating behavior and lifestyle behaviors. [37:45] Fuel: There Isn’t A Perfect Diet That Fits Everyone There isn’t one diet that works for everyone; however, there is a perfect diet for you. You can test some of your genetics to understand your sensitivities around carbs and fats. Eating a more ancestral diet is really important; take out processed foods. How you treat your body is the greatest gift you can give yourself. [42:30] Train Your Body and Train Your Mind You need strength training to maintain and build muscle mass. Also, you want to do some cardiovascular training. The more muscle mass you have, the better insulin sensitivity you're going to have as well. Walking is underrated; you need to get up and get your steps. AND MUCH MORE!

[03:51] How does consuming vegetable oil affect your risk of developing a chronic illness? · People with arthritis are discovering the profound impact of dietary changes, particularly the Paleo Diet, on alleviating symptoms. This led to a deeper exploration of nutrition and chronic diseases. The exploration of correlations between vegetable oil consumption, high omega-6 diets, and the prevalence of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, and macular degeneration. · The four pillars of hazard include pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory effects, direct toxicity to cells, accumulation in the body and mitochondrial membranes, and nutrient deficiency. Understanding these hazards helps explain the detrimental impact of vegetable oils on overall health. · High omega-6 fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid found in vegetable oils, accumulate in our body fat, cellular membranes, and mitochondrial membranes. This accumulation sets the stage for a biological milieu that is pro-oxidative, pro-inflammatory, directly toxic to cells, and nutrient deficient. · Vegetable oils can be regarded as chronic metabolic, biological poisons rather than acute poisons. While consuming a large quantity of vegetable oil in a single day may not cause immediate harm, the gradual and consistent consumption of these oils over time leads to various diseases due to their chronic toxic effects on the body. · Genetic susceptibility plays a role in determining the diseases individuals may be prone to when consuming a diet high in vegetable oils. However, it is primarily the dietary environment, accounting for approximately 99% of the risk, that triggers the manifestation of these diseases. Dr. Knobbe’s new book The Ancestral Diet Revolution on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Wy4AY8 [22:50] What are the challenges of controlling a diet for an extended period? · Controlling a diet for an extended period is costly and logistically challenging, requiring a metabolic ward and strict monitoring. This restricts the number of participants and the duration of the study, limiting the ability to test hypotheses adequately. · While animal studies have explored the effects of omega-6 fatty acids, there is a need for more human trials investigating their impact over an extended period. · Despite the absence of randomized controlled clinical trials, data from decades provide meaningful evidence. · Trends in obesity rates and the prevalence of conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer's, and macular degeneration indicate a strong correlation with dietary factors, even if direct causal links are challenging to establish without long-term trials. [32:27] The Detrimental Effects of Excessive Omega-6 Linoleic Acid Consumption · High levels of Omega-6 fatty acids in body fat contribute to a pro-oxidative, pro-inflammatory, nutrient-deficient environment, which sets the stage for conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. · The accumulation of these fats creates an environment conducive to chronic diseases. · Vegetable oils, rich in Omega-6 linoleic acid, have numerous parallels with toxic substances like arsenic. Both are pro-oxidative, leading to oxidation within the body, a primary driver of chronic diseases. · The oxidation of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids produces harmful byproducts, such as advanced lipid oxidation end products (ALEs), which are cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, atherogenic, thrombogenic, obesogenic, and diabetogenic. · High doses of vegetable oils can expose individuals to these harmful compounds, surpassing the levels found in cigarette smoke, making vegetable oil consumption more detrimental than smoking. [45:05] Understanding Omega-6 Linoleic Acid: Importance, Optimal Levels, and Health Implications · Omega-6 linoleic acid is crucial for our survival and overall health. Early research in the 1930s demonstrated that animals require linoleic acid in their diet to prevent various health issues, such as skin and dental deterioration. · Maintaining appropriate levels of Omega-6 linoleic acid is crucial for preventing diseases like cancer, heart disease, and metabolic disorders. · Vegetable oils, abundant in Omega-6 linoleic acid, are a significant component of processed foods. Despite the consensus that processed foods contribute to poor health, the focus often overlooks the primary culprit—vegetable oils. · These oils are unnaturally abundant in processed foods and can have detrimental effects when consumed in high amounts, making them a significant factor in developing various health issues. [52:28] Ancestral Diets and Body Fat Analysis · Following an ancestral diet low in vegetable oils for an extended period can significantly reduce Omega-6 linoleic acid levels in body fat. The half-life of linoleic acid in body fat is approximately two years, meaning it takes time to decrease and reverse its accumulation. · Eliminating vegetable oils from the diet can immediately improve inflammatory factors, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and inflammation-related issues. · Adopting an ancestral diet low in Omega-6 linoleic acid, which involves eliminating highly polyunsaturated vegetable oils and consuming animals not fed corn and soy (like chicken and pork), can lead to a significant reduction in linoleic acid levels in body fat over three years.

[04:09] Metabolic Flexibility and Macronutrients Carbohydrates and fats are two of the four major fuels for the body and are often referred to as macronutrients. Many people struggle to process and burn carbs and fats efficiently, frequently favoring one fuel source over another. Metabolic inflexibility refers to the body's inability to process both carbs and fats effectively, whereas metabolic flexibility refers to the body's ability to burn both carbs and fats efficiently. The Met Flex Diet is a six-week program that teaches the body how to effectively burn both fuels by exposing it to carbs and fats and incorporating keto and carb-loading elements. According to scientific evidence, cyclical keto cycling (alternating between periods of ketosis and carbohydrate consumption) can help improve metabolic flexibility. [08:07] Intermittent Fasting: Achieving Metabolic Flexibility Intermittent fasting helps to shift the body into fat-burning mode. Fasting depletes the body of energy from food and glycogen, allowing it to use stored fat as an energy source. By depleting energy from food and glycogen, intermittent fasting attempts to use stored fat as an energy source. A simple approach for beginners or those new to fasting is to wait a few hours after waking up before eating the day's first meal. Sleeping is a form of fasting because no food is consumed during that time. Extending the fasting period after waking up allows for more fat-burning time. [15:04] How do Fasted Cardio Workouts Enhance Fat Burning Fasted cardio involves working out on an empty stomach, usually without eating before the workout and for about an hour afterwards. Fasted cardio may not be appropriate for everyone, so pay attention to your body's signals and adjust accordingly. With depleted stored glucose (glycogen) and no food energy available during a fast, the body relies on fats for energy during the workout. The energy demand during exercise is significantly increased, prompting the body to draw even more energy from fat stores to meet the increased energy requirements. [18:51] Balancing Sleep and Workouts for Fat Loss Sleep is necessary for metabolic flexibility, hormonal rhythms, and body restoration. For optimal health and weight management, it is critical to maintain good sleep hygiene and prioritize adequate sleep. Morning workouts are appealing because they provide the benefits of endorphin release and fewer distractions. However, if morning workouts interfere with your sleep, consider switching to an afternoon workout or finding alternative times that work best for your schedule. Eating a high-calorie meal before bedtime causes excess calories stored as fat. Avoiding late-night eating allows the body to draw energy from fat stores while sleeping. The body is more likely to use fat as an energy source overnight if there is a gap between eating and sleeping. [23:09] Metabolic Boosters: Protein and B12 Consumption Increased protein consumption can boost metabolism due to the increased work required by the body to digest protein. Although lean protein is preferred, plant-based proteins such as beans and legumes are also beneficial. Protein from natural food sources is more bioavailable than protein supplements, ensuring that the body can use a higher percentage of the protein. The difficulty of breaking down protein signals the body to increase metabolic activity. Adequate B12 levels promote optimal metabolism and health. Prioritizing natural, protein-rich foods and getting enough B12 can improve metabolic function and help you lose weight. [33:17] Focusing on Food-Based Nutrition The desire to obtain nutrients through food stems from the belief that natural nutrients are more bioavailable and safer for the body than synthetic products. Natural nutrients in their natural state contain additional beneficial compounds and a more complete nutrient package than whole foods. While some supplementation may be required, caution should be exercised due to the market's proclivity for over-supplementation. Before beginning any supplementation regimen, individuals should thoroughly read and comprehend product labels. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Ashley Lucas | Fat Loss 101: How to Create a Metabolic Shift so you Lose Weight Quickly KKP: 594
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Ashley Lucas. She is the owner, founder and advisory consultant for PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition. She has over 15 years of education in the field of nutrition and metabolism. In her mid 20s, she retired from her professional ballet career. While understanding the importance nutrition played on her own sport performance, she went on to earn her PhD in Sports Nutrition and Chronic Disease from Virginia Tech. Her research throughout her six-year post-graduate doctoral training, focused on energy metabolism and the Female Athlete Triad. She was awarded the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Scholarship and completed her dietetic internship at The Ohio State University.

In this episode, Dr. Lucas discusses the inspiration behind her studies in what happens to our bodies when we continually undereat. Then, Dr. Lucas explains how burning sugar is just like constantly stuffing wood into a fireplace. Plus, Dr. Lucas talks about visceral fat and how it can prevent you from reaching your ideal health goals.

[00:40] The Inspiration Behind Studying What Happens To The Body When We Undereat Lucas had some challenging times while training as a classical ballet dancer. She struggled to make her body do what it needed to do. As a result, Dr. Lucas had major stress fractures in her back and had stress fractures in her feet. To be healthy, Dr. Lucas would eat five grams of fat a day. After going to a doctor, she found out that she was over-exercising and not eating enough. Eventually, Dr. Lucas earned her Ph.D. in sports nutrition and chronic disease. She wanted to study what happens to the body when we undereat. [08:30] How Burning Sugar Is Like A Wood Fireplace Generally, we are carbohydrate or sugar burners. Carb burners are like wood-burning fireplaces. You constantly have to stuff wood in it, so it doesn’t burn out. When people have to eat every three hours, they are running out of sugar to keep their energy up. Fat-burning is like a propane tank; it can go for hours or maybe days. Every cell in the body prefers to burn fat for its fuel. [13:15] What Exactly Is Visceral Fat and What You Need To Know About It Visceral fat isn’t something you can see or pinch. Visceral fat actually fills up in the organs. This fat really gets in the liver. Visceral fat grows its own blood vessels, and it starts to secrete its own hormones. The number one goal of visceral fat is to grow larger. This type of fat will wake you up in the middle of the night and send you to the fridge to eat something. It secretes aromatase, which increases the risk for breast cancer significantly. Overall, visceral fat messes with every aspect of our bodies. [20:30] How To Stop Your Yo-Yo Dieting Habits The first thing you need to do is to recognize why the yo-yo is happening. When you start to lose weight, you will feel better. However, you will still have excess fat that's active and metabolically working against you. When you have that excess fat, your risk of weight regain is really high. You need to understand the importance of fully collapsing the fat mass and getting the body truly where it needs to be. As we age, we're not supposed to get fatter. We actually tolerate fat less because fat is toxic. The next step is to get accountability and get support. [26:50] About PHD Weight Loss and How The Program Works Check out PHD Weight Loss: https://myphdweightloss.com/ First, Dr. Lucas will determine your fat mass and customize a meal plan to fit your goals. They like to provide 85% of their client’s food. That way, you can break sugar addiction, and there will be no withdrawals. 80% of weight loss comes from mental and emotional aspects. Overall, the PHD weight loss program is a multi-therapeutic approach. [34:55] How We Create Better Stories That Are Going To Serve Our Health and Our Future You only have to tell yourself something 50 times before you create a neural pathway. We get locked into these stories that we tell ourselves. There's also so much fear wrapped around losing weight. The body can go down physically in weight, but if it's not accompanied by mental and emotional work, that weight loss will not stay. [40:50] Why Dr. Lucas Hates The Term “Cheat Meal” A cheat meal will make you feel full of shame and guilt. Instead, you should enjoy the food and feel good about it. Your new diet will be a new lifestyle. So, you’re never “cheating.” What good are you gaining from cheating on yourself? Remember, eating is not about feeling bad! [46:45] Are You Really Hungry? Find Mindfulness To Make The Best Decision Understand the different aspects of what common triggers of overeating or binging can be. When you’re having problems with food, bring yourself to the present moment. If your emotions are out of whack, then you may find yourself eating something. Being tired is another trigger for making bad choices when it comes to food. The evening meal can be the hardest when you’re tired. Instead, bring yourself to the present moment and find some sort of mindfulness. That way, you can decide what will make you feel the best. AND MUCH MORE!

[10:49] Saying Yes to Healthier Options Will Help You Replace Unhealthy Habits · Habits and routines drive us, but if they're unhealthy, they don't serve us well in the long term. · Replacing unhealthy habits with healthy ones is key to success. · Learning to say yes to healthy alternatives is important, not just saying no to unhealthy ones. · Jumping over to a healthier lifestyle can lead to a future without regret. · Healthy alternatives like going to the gym, swimming, and sitting in an infrared sauna can make a big difference. · Loving healthy habits will serve better than junk food or half-hearted attempts at healthy living. [14:28] What are some of the things that contribute to weight loss? · If people struggle to lose weight despite having a good diet and exercise routine, the reason may be hormonal or genetics-related. · Ensuring that the thyroid is appropriately assessed and optimized is crucial. · Increasing thyroid function can naturally and safely lead to weight loss and improve low thyroid symptoms, such as depression, constipation, dry skin, and hair loss. · Many people's thyroid is not adequately managed because doctors only check for TSH levels, which can be in the "normal" range but not optimal for the individual. · Comparing thyroid levels to shoe sizes, finding the optimal level for each individual is important, rather than just accepting a "normal" range that may not work for everyone. [32:45] How do meal timing and exercise affect your weight loss? · The timing of when you consume calories affects hormonal effects and energy-burning modes. · Eating a calorie-dense meal late at night when your body is in hibernation mode can lead to more energy storage and difficulties losing weight. · Shifting the timing of meals and exercise can greatly impact weight loss, such as eating earlier in the day and taking a walk afterwards or doing cardio during daylight hours when the body is primed to burn energy. · When we wake up in the morning, our body is in fat-burning mode after digesting dinner from the night before. · Skipping breakfast and doing cardio in the morning before eating can enhance fat-burning mode and create a healthier intermittent fasting pattern. [37:21] Insulin Sensitivity and Its Role in Weight Loss · Insulin is a double-edged sword, helpful for clearing blood sugar out of circulation but harmful in excess, which is why maintaining insulin sensitivity is crucial. · Insulin moves blood sugar out of circulation and into cells but also signals to create fat. · High insulin levels lead to a constant signal to store fat, making weight loss impossible. · Boosting insulin sensitivity through methods like intermittent fasting can help lower insulin levels and make weight loss more possible.
