Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today, I am lucky to have here with me, the CEO and co-founder of the Fasting Method Program, clinical educator, and researcher, Megan Ramos. Megan’s major role in the The Fasting Method is to facilitate the patient’s education on the Fasting Method dietary principles and counsel them on their fasting regimens. Megan, along with her colleague Dr. Jason Fung, believe that both what you eat and when you eat matter. The Fasting Method utilizes therapeutic fasting and time restricted eating protocols with their patients to help them reverse their type 2 diabetes and achieve sustainable weight-loss. They encourage their patients to eat real foods and adopt a low-carb lifestyle in addition to the fasting. Megan was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) at age 12, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) at age 14, and type 2 diabetes (DMII) at age 27. She reversed these metabolic conditions and achieve an 86-pound weight loss by incorporating intermittent fasting with a low carb diet, and is now passionate about helping others do the same. Megan lives in Toronto, Canada. She is a director of the nonprofit organization Public Health Collaboration Canada (PHC Canada), works on the editorial board of the Journal of Insulin Resistance and Team Diet Doctor. In this episode, Megan Ramos opens the show explaining her various health problems growing up. She started working with Dr. Jason Fung at the age of fifteen, and together, they realized the importance of fasting. Plus, Megan explains how essential it is to be proactive when it comes to your health. Not many people understand that we need to get to the root cause of a disease rather than treating the symptoms. Stay tuned as Megan gives fasting advice, and she reveals the most surprising benefits the practice can offer. 🎓Want to become a keto and fasting pro?

She was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. She was skinny, but all of her weight was fat. Her doctor couldn’t tell why she had diseases of obesity. Megan didn’t stress about it. “Your genes aren’t your destiny.” –Megan Ramos Megan started working with Dr. Jason Fung at age 15. Her research patients were trying to live life right; however, they were just gaining more weight. Megan also was gaining weight despite hiring a nutritionist and personal trainer. When Dr. Fung would introduce fasting to his patients, they would feel better. It was the missing piece of the puzzle. Megan started fasting, and it finally all made sense.   [13:10] Symptoms for Kidney Dysfunction Patients who are leaking a lot of protein in their urine, yet they don’t have high blood pressure are most likely suffering from kidney dysfunction. Protein in the urine usually means something diabetic is going on. “In North America, you have insulin resistance until proven otherwise.” –Megan Ramos Even though your labs say normal, a conventional doctor will not be able to read the labs as an expert would.   [17:30] Being Proactive Rather Than Reactive Megan wants to help patients be proactive. The healthcare system is broken beyond repair. When Megan and Jason first started talking about fasting, people thought they were lunatics. However, the benefits of fasting have been well known for hundreds of years. Fasting makes a significant change in the lives of their patients.   [23:40] Fasting the Wrong Way Fasting the wrong way will result in electrolyte imbalance. Most people are petrified of salt. However, salt is critical to our survival and wellbeing. Insulin levels will be high when you first start fasting. Eventually, the insulin levels will tank. It could cause diarrhea if not rehydrating correctly. Megan does consultations online. Most of the time, the person’s issues are resolved by salt or magnesium. Pickle juice and bone broth will also assist with hydration. Sometimes people carb up before a fast. It will wreak havoc on your body and mind. Plus, you won’t get autophagy as efficiently. Do a fast through your ketogenic diet. Fasting shouldn’t make you feel bad; it should make you feel more energetic.   [31:40] The Most Surprising Benefit of Fasting Megan loves when older women get their libido back. The most surprising thing is anti-aging in women. Women who have gone grey are now getting their hair color again. A 76-year-old woman got her regular menstrual period back for two years.   [33:50] Should Women Practice Fasting Differently Than Men? Women need to be more diligent with sodium. Salt is critical in middle-aged women. Not necessarily for feeling good, but for making sure that weight loss is happening at an efficient rate. Women need to fast more than men to get the same results. A 24 hour fast will give women tremendous results. They will lose water weight and body fat. Women are more compliant doing a three day fast. Once they wake up on the second day, there should be no hunger. Staying in a fast can be more manageable for women.   [37:55] Advice for Someone Who is Getting Stuck at a Certain Weight Make sure there are no problem foods or snacking in the diet. People on keto will eat a lot of nuts and cheese outside of eating windows. What do your eating days look like? Add fat and protein to your meals to make them more satiating. That alone can break a person through a plateau.   [42:55] Megan’s Favorite Benefit of Fasting Megan gets an insane amount of energy while fasting. She gets to train doctors and speak at medical conferences. After a trip, Megan does a fat fast. It gives her an energy reboot and mental clarity.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out The Fasting Method Follow Megan Ramos Twitter Instagram Watch Megan Ramos at Ketofest 2017 Read Controlling Hunger Read The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube  Get a Complimentary $39 Bottle of Olive Oil   // F O L L O W  B E N A Z A D I ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so ▸ linkedin | http://bit.ly/2PNRh40 ▸ email | ben@ketokamp.com   Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

Today I have here with me, a functional and preventative health expert, Dr. Kayte Susse D.C., who works with patients to optimize their health and feel their absolute best. She has extensive background in both allopathic and natural health, completed 1000+ hours of training in functional medicine, nutrition, immunology and epigenetics.   Dr. Susse’s primary focus centers on supporting hormonal imbalance, anti-aging medicine, autoimmune disease, vitamin and mineral imbalances, thyroid health, fertility, and detoxification, as well as pre and post-operative surgery wellness.   Many people who seek Dr. Susse’s professional care are those experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, pain, weakness, brain fog, depression, constipation, stomach pain, sugar cravings, cold hands and feet, weight gain and more. Often, these patients have been told by allopathic physicians that there is “nothing wrong with them” and their labs are normal.   Unfortunately, our current medical paradigm is only focused on disease and prescription-based solutions as opposed to Dr. Susse’s focus on the root cause of symptoms - and disease prevention above all. Utilizing advanced testing, in-depth physical examination and a thorough analysis of each patient’s unique history, Dr. Susse is able to identify and address the underlying causes of the patient’s symptoms to help them achieve their optimal health.   In this episode, Dr. Kayte starts the show discussing her exposure to mercury via silver amalgam fillings and breast implants. She reveals the symptoms she faced with breast implants. Plus, Dr. Kayte explains the toxic ingredients hiding in breast implants and the severe health issues they can cause. Stay tuned while she explains what to do before and after an explant, and how you can test for mercury in the body. 🎓Want to become a keto and fasting pro? Join the BRAND NEW Keto Kamp Academy today: http://www.ketokampacademy.com [00:30] About Dr. Kayte Kayte had a lifetime exposure to mercury – she had silver amalgam fillings since she was a child. Mercury is a toxin that causes all sorts of problems in our bodies. She started having health problems nine months after getting breast implants. Her mercury bucket was full. Sometimes when you are young, you can have mercury symptoms that won’t really affect you. Mothers can pass mercury to the fetus as a defense mechanism from their bodies. When we ingest mercury from our diet, it can end up in muscle tissue.   [06:30] Symptoms after Breast Implants   After getting breast implants, Dr. Kayte would become extremely sick after drinking alcohol. Plus, her brain wasn’t working as it should – she had brain fog and tons of post-workout soreness. She was sent on a whole health journey which led her to become a chiropractor. She knew something was wrong, and she was in pain. During the first term of chiropractor school, she realized it wasn’t helping her pain. So, she started learning about natural health and functional medicine. Autoimmunity has a genetic component – they often call it a lifestyle disease because there are unknown reasons why it can turn on. Dr. Kayte dismissed this as a cause. After doing more research, Dr. Kayte found out all the ingredients in breast implants, including mercury. After learning this, Dr. Kayte didn’t want her breast implants.   [21:00] What to do Before Getting an Explant   You don’t need to start detoxing if you still have implants. Support the body and the healing process before an explant. An explant is a massive trauma. Get a lot of vitamin C and zinc. Work with your doctor and tell them that you are focusing on healing. Women do not have a lot of information about this in the mainstream media. These types of conversations are not happening enough.   [23:30] If Someone Feels Fine With Their Breast Implants   Kayte says it’s good that you feel fine. She would want them to be educated about what is actually in the implants. Think about what’s going to happen when it’s time to replace your implants. The plastic surgeon is going to try and replace them with the most cohesive implant. The most cohesive implants have the most toxins and chemicals in them.   [25:40] What to do After Getting an Explant   If you’re feeling terrible, there’s a chance the chemicals have affected your brain. Measure your mineral status and interpret it with your doctor. You can improve estrogen dominance and balance your hormones. Supplement things to make serotonin. Start thinking about chelation.   [28:40] Testing for Mercury There are many different ways to test for mercury. Mercury has the ability to block itself into your body. Not everyone stores mercury in the same way. Sometimes, you can have an exposure, and you can clear it. If you are storing mercury, you will probably not have high levels in your blood test. The hair test will not test for heavy metals; it will test for mineral derangement. You can test how the hair in your body is utilizing minerals.   [36:45] Dr. Kayte’s Favorite Health Tool Fasting is an anti-aging tool, and it resets everything in our bodies. It is a tool that’s free and part of many religions. We are all overexposed to food in the United States. People are not meant to be eating as much as we are eating. Kayte does water fasting once a week for 24 hours.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Kayte’s Website Follow Dr. Kayte Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Check out Healing Breast Implant Illness Society of North America Shop at Wellevate Watch Mind Body Spirit Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube    // F O L L O W B E N A Z A D I ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so ▸ linkedin | http://bit.ly/2PNRh40 ▸ email | ben@ketokamp.com . #drkayte #breastimplants #breastexplants Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

In this interview, I'm with health and fitness expert Drew Manning. Drew is the New York Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose and has for years been a leading voice in the burgeoning Keto Diet movement.   Drew is also the creator of the A&E Show Fit to Fat to Fit and the host of The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience podcast. With over a million social media followers, Drew continues to transform people's lives all around the world.   Known for his straightforward and empathetic fitness and health coaching, Drew has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, The View, and MSNBC, among other media outlets. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his daughters, who remind him every day not to take things too seriously.   In this episode, Drew opens the show explaining his Fit2Fat2Fit movement. Drew has always been in phenomenal shape – he couldn’t understand what his overweight clients were going through. In order to understand, Drew gained 75 lbs and lost it again. Drew talks about the difference between burning sugar and fat and why he ultimately decided to follow a ketogenic lifestyle. Stay tuned to hear Drew discuss gratitude and how to avoid the keto flu.   [04:00] About Drew Manning Drew had never been overweight in his life. He couldn’t understand his clients – they wouldn’t go to the gym and wouldn’t eat healthily. Drew decided to gain weight to understand his clients better. At first, gaining weight was fun. Cereal and soda taste amazing. The first few months were easy. Then, it shifted. Going up the stairs was difficult, and he started snoring. Plus, Drew was greatly affected mentally and emotionally. He didn’t know who he was when he was out of shape. It opened his eyes, and helped him find his meaning. When Drew switched back to eating healthy foods, he felt miserable. Drew suffered from headaches, a severe lack of energy, and mood swings.   [12:15] The Fit2Fat2Fit Movement In 2011, Drew started with zero connections. A fitness blogger posted his story, and Yahoo picked it up. Drew’s website crashed because all sorts of TV shows were trying to get ahold of him. Eight years later, Drew is still talking about his story and has two seasons of his TV show.   [16:10] Why Drew Chose the Ketogenic Lifestyle Drew likes to do experiments on his body. He found out there were all sorts of scientific research on the ketogenic diet. Drew did a sixty-day experiment on himself. He didn’t lose any weight, fat, or muscle, but he felt amazing. Drew went from eating six meals a day to eating two meals a day. His brain has never felt so mentally clear. Plus, his digestion is better. No longer did Drew feel like he was a slave to food.   [21:15] The Difference Between Clean and Dirty Keto   When Drew first started the ketogenic lifestyle, he simply cut carbs. It was an uneducated form of keto. There are different levels of keto. You can keep taking amazing steps – Drew is always changing, evolving, and upgrading. Drew uses a whole foods approach. In America, there are convenient keto options, even though they are not the cleanest ingredients. Dirty keto has evolved and become more popular. Drew suggests people stop eating nuts and dairy if they are still feeling inflamed. “Just because you are in ketosis, doesn’t mean you’re healthier.” -Drew Manning   [28:45] Following Keto Without a Gallbladder   People without a gallbladder have a hard time digesting fats in a keto diet. Drew found an enzyme that will assist most people with their digestion. Gallbladder removal is the number one surgery in the United States.   [30:00] The Difference Between Burning Sugar and Burning Fat Most people are sugar burners because they have cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and pasta for dinner. When you eat fewer carbs, your body will retain less water. When you retain less water, you miss out on essential minerals. Therefore, when you transition to the keto diet, you will experience the keto flu because of an imbalance of electrolytes. When Drew says electrolytes, he does not mean Gatorade! Drew tells people to take sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Plus, you need to be drinking a lot more water.   [32:50] The Habit of Practicing Gratitude “Anytime you hit rock bottom, you become a better version of yourself.” -Drew Manning People overlook the importance of overcoming mental challenges to make keto a lifestyle change. Gratitude is a daily task that Drew asks people to do. If you write three things that you are grateful for, then throughout the day, you will look at situations in your life differently. Complete Keto is about a complete transformation rather than just a physical transformation.   [40:55] Drinking Keto Coffee Drew’s favorite keto product is keto coffee.
