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!

A healthy person's adaptation is more effective than an unhealthy individual. Understanding how adaptation works is crucial for maintaining overall health. Tissues adapt to the stresses applied to them. Just as exercise can lead to stronger muscles, proper stress management is essential to prevent chronic issues. Bones also adapt to the forces they experience. Uneven weight distribution can lead to imbalances in bone mass. Maintaining balanced weight distribution is vital for long-term bone health.  The righting reflex governs our posture, adjusting it based on head position. Maintaining proper head posture is crucial, as it influences overall body alignment.  [11:35] Nervous System's Health and Sleep: How are they connected?  The way you sleep can impact various aspects of your health. Sleeping in a contorted or twisted position can lead to structural dysfunction and health-related issues.  Sleeping on your back is recommended to restore the cervical curve and maintain optimal spinal alignment. It promotes natural alignment and minimizes contortion, aiding the body's structural healing process.  Early sleeping habits can contribute to poor sleep positions that may persist into adulthood. Recognizing and correcting these habits is essential for promoting proper spinal health.  Late-night exercise or eating can elevate core body temperature. Deep sleep is most restorative when achieved within the first third of the sleep cycle. A drop in core temperature is necessary for quality sleep. [25:23] What is Neck Nest? These Are the Things You Need to Know Relying too much on external support, like pillows and braces, can weaken the body's natural structural integrity over time, causing imbalances and issues.  Over-reliance on supports can lead to biomechanical stress, restricting natural movement and causing increased stress on other body parts. The Neck Nest pillow encourages proper spinal alignment by gently stretching and reversing the effects of forward head posture. Placing the Neck Nest on its edge under the neck supports the head's weight while encouraging a natural curve. Starting with shorter durations and gradually increasing usage can help users adjust to the Neck Nest's positioning and experience its benefits effectively. [35:09] The Power of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) The body operates through two primary states - sympathetic and parasympathetic. Both are important but must be balanced for optimal health and adaptability. Heart Rate Variability is a crucial marker for assessing nervous system balance. A rhythmic heartbeat indicates sympathetic dominance while varying rhythms suggest parasympathetic dominance. Adaptability and health thrive with rhythmic variation. The parasympathetic system supports vital functions like hormone regulation, digestion, and immunity. An imbalance can lead to chronic health issues. Poor posture, especially forward head posture, can constrict the vagus nerve, a key contributor to parasympathetic function. Addressing structural issues like cervical curve misalignment can help restore nervous system balance. Achieving overall well-being involves understanding the intricate connection between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, addressing structural factors, and maintaining HRV within optimal ranges.  [51:07] Glymphatic System: Sleep, Fluid Dynamics, and Well-being The glymphatic system is a mechanism that facilitates fluid flow around cells, helping to eliminate toxins and deliver nutrients. It's vital for overall cellular health and brain function. Morning joint swelling, known as pre-stress, occurs due to fluid accumulation. While it supports joint health, it also makes individuals more susceptible to injuries within the first hour after waking up. Studies suggest glymphatic drainage might improve when sleeping on one's side, but research has been primarily conducted on rats. Human spinal alignment and daily structural considerations play a significant role in optimizing glymphatic drainage during sleep.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Peter Martone’s Website (Get Your Neck Nest Special Deal) http://www.necknest.com/ketokamp  Atlantis Wellness: https://www.atlantiswellness.com/ Follow Dr. Peter Martone Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/askdoctormartone/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drmartone?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvpwT2tiF01_2Brsyr9zWg LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/l-c-p-peter-martone-d-c-1121b126/ 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 / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Catharine Arnston. Catharine Arnston is the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits® and an expert on the health benefits of algae. Catharine’s passion for algae is contagious. She has been a speaker at hundreds of conferences, podcasts, broadcasts, and national television. Her scientific fluency allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity that it quickly becomes apparent why algae are urgently needed. Algae is the most nutritionally dense food globally, yet it is virtually unknown outside Asia. Catharine’s mission is to change that. In this episode, Catharine opens the show by speaking about the importance of superoxide dismutase (S.O.D.) for clearing free radicals. The highest concentration of S.O.D. is actually in spirulina. Catharine explains how spirulina could be the missing piece to improving the health of your mitochondria. Plus, Catharine speaks about all the other health benefits of algae. Tune in as we chat about using algae as a biohack before red light therapy and how algae can replace your mineral supplements.  Purchase EnergyBits and RecoveryBits here: https://www.energybits.com/ use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 20% off.  Join my upcoming FREE keto LIVE training here: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com  -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

For Clearing Free Radicals Spirulina is an effortless way to get the nutrients you need to give you energy.  The true energy that you get from spirulina is really at the cellular level. When your cells have energy, you’re getting better digestion, reduced inflammation, more free radicals, and you can think clearer.  Inside the mitochondria is a second membrane where ATP production occurs.  Virtually no antioxidants can make their way into that inner membrane.  There's nothing that can make its way into the inner membrane to get rid of those free radicals except something called S.O.D.   The highest concentration of S.O.D. is in spirulina. [13:00] Spirulina Could Be The Missing Piece To Getting The Mitochondria To Function Better Spirulina is called cyanobacterial; they are your mitochondria.  Mitochondria in our cells came from the cyanobacteria, effectively spirulina. When you have spirulina, it's like introducing your body to itself. If you look at the shape of spirulina and you look at the mitochondria, they are identical.  When you take something identical to your DNA, your body knows what to do.  [17:50] How Chlorophyll Can Heal Cellular Damage Inside The Body  When you have free radicals, they cause what's called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress will cause cellular damage.  With cellular damage, nutrients cannot flow into the cells, and toxins cannot flow out of the cells. So, you will end up with more free radicals inside the cell, causing severe damage.  Eventually, this can cause rogue cells, leading to cancer.  Chlorella and spirulina are excellent at correcting that because they have the highest chlorophyll concentration in the world.  Healthy fats will heal your cell walls. Chlorophyll is a fat-based pigment.  [23:25] The Reasons You Should Take Algae Instead of Fish Oil  Spirulina is higher in GLA and omegas than fish oil.  Fish get their omegas from algae. So cut out the middle man by going straight to the algae.  Algae is cleaner, and it doesn’t go any farther down the food chain.  Plus, it is already rancid by the time you get fish oil from the store. With Catharine’s algae, you’ll get anti-inflammatory benefits. Also, it never goes rancid, and it never goes bad.  [32:30] Does Algae Increase Your Glucose Levels?  Algae do not decrease your ketones, and it does not increase your glucose. Catharine has tested it herself with people who have CGM monitors.  Algae has been used for decades for people who have diabetes.   Catharine’s products are taken by people looking to reverse their diabetes. Unfortunately, we know more about our cell phones than we do our bodies.  When something goes wrong, people run to conventional medical sources.  Instead, we need to learn how our body functions and what it requires to function at an optimal level.  [37:50] You Can’t Have An Iron Overload When Taking Spirulina or Chlorella The nice thing about algae is that it's what's called an adaptogen.  It won't be absorbed in your body if you do not need that nutrient. However, this is not the case with iron supplements. Catharine urges people not to take iron supplements because you can easily get overloaded with iron.  The iron in the spirulina or chlorella comes from an organic source. So, your body can recognize it and know what to do with it.  [39:20] Taking Algae Can Replace Your Mineral Supplements  Spirulina and chlorella are loaded with minerals like magnesium and potassium.  When your body makes S.O.D, it needs manganese, zinc, and copper. All of these minerals are in spirulina.  Many people will use chlorella because it helps recover your health and helps remove toxins.  Take chlorella for detox instead of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal will pull out all minerals, not just the bad stuff.  [41:20] Algae Is A Great Biohack Before Red Light Therapy  Red light therapy stimulates mitochondrial growth; it also reduces inflammation. Bacteria have chloroplasts in them, and they generate energy from light.  When you take spirulina or chlorella before red light therapy, you stimulate the mitochondria even more. Marathon runners adopted Catharine’s products quickly because the spirulina gave them energy and didn't upset their stomachs. When you have chlorophyll in your body during red light therapy, it will increase your energy production.  AND MUCH MORE!

[13:43] Are you Exhausted? Don’t Push Yourself Too Hard; Learn to Stop, Rest, and Recover  -       Always pushing his body to its limit, John wrecks his body. But it was the path necessary for him to understand what true fitness and health is. -       Everything is on a spectrum. Holistic health is the only way you'll be able to sustain high-performance levels. -       If you want to be a high performer, you can't just focus on the aspects of working; you also have to focus on the aspects of recovery.  [22:30] Your Body is Telling You Something, Listen to It Carefully  -       Take annual assessments. Many symptoms are so subtle that you may think it is just because you are aging. -       There are unlimited tools that allow us to get insights into how our bodies are functioning. -       If we can be proactive with monitoring our health indicators and use those numbers as a guide to our behavior patterns, we can begin to see what true health is. -       When people can understand the proactive approach to living a healthy and fit life don't need the pharmaceuticals. -       Know and understand your body. [34:15] Keep Calm and Take Deep Breaths to Clear Your Trapped Emotions  -       To deal with those trapped emotions, the first thing to do is to take a couple of deep breaths and realize that this situation is not what you perceive it to be. -       As a group of people, we need to start understanding that we are in charge of our emotions. And we are not going to allow somebody to make us feel bad. -       Breathing is like a language your central nervous system uses to speak. -       It's all about slowing everything down and focusing on the moment. -        If you're trying to be a high performer in any situation, you need a balanced nervous system because everything will work better.  [51:30] Measure Your Heart Rate Variability Using the Best Biohacking Tool, Oura Ring  -       Instead of taking your phone after waking up in the morning, look at your Oura ring instead. -       Sometimes, the activity score in the ordering is high, but you haven't done much because it's the right activity for where you are that day. -       If your readiness score is low, you're supposed to take a rest day, which, according to the Oura ring, is less than 15 minutes of high-intensity exercise. -       Just be aware of the scores and read them in the right way to take the most suitable action you need. -       Sometimes, it is good not to listen to your body.  [58:22] You Have Long Covid? Stop Worrying, Follow These Steps, And Get Your Healthy Body Back  -       If you have long covid, you must first realize you are not sick. Yes, you're dealing with symptoms, but you cannot tell yourself you're sick. You have to tell yourself; I'm healing. -       Start to visualize you are healthy, and your body will identify that feeling, making you feel better. -       After visualizing, take the next step, which is fasting, and then next is supplementation. -       Avoid processed foods and seed oils. If you can, cook your food to ensure that all healthy ingredients will go into your food. -       Start to work one thing at a time, and then by six weeks, you're now layering all these things together, and it just becomes part of your lifestyle.   AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the Founder of The Energy Blueprint, Ari Whitten. He is an energy and fatigue specialist who focuses on taking an evidence-based approach to energy enhancement,  a nutrition, exercise, and natural health expert, and a #1 best-selling author.  He has been studying nutrition and holistic health for over two decades. He has a Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University in Kinesiology (specializing in fitness, nutrition, and health). He also has a background in exercise physiology and fitness and holds two advanced certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. In addition, he recently completed the three years of coursework for his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an education which rounds out all aspects – nutrition, fitness, and psychology – of his approach to optimal health. Ari is a tireless researcher who has obsessively devoted the last 20 years of his life to the pursuit of being on the cutting edge of the science of health and energy enhancement. For the last six years, he’s been working with many of the top scientists and physicians on the planet to develop the most comprehensive program in the world on the science of overcoming fatigue and increasing energy — The Energy Blueprint. In this episode, Ari first speaks about his Epstein Barr Virus diagnosis and how that took him down a rabbit hole of energy optimization. One way to improve chronic fatigue is by growing more mitochondria; Ari explains how this is possible. Then, Ari dives into melatonin and tips for fixing a circadian rhythm disruption. Tune in as we chat about the importance of hormetic stressors, Eat For Energy, and Ari’s products from The Energy Blueprint.  Purchase Ari’s new book Eat For Energy here: https://bit.ly/3Fka6VB Join my upcoming FREE keto LIVE training here: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com  / / 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.

Unfortunately, Ari got very sick with Epstein Barr Virus and mononucleosis in his mid-twenties. He lost about thirty-five pounds in the span of a month; he couldn’t eat because the back of his throat was so swollen.  Ari was left with chronic fatigue; it shifted his entire life.  So, Ari started to focus on the world of energy optimization; he became obsessed with energy science. Conventional medical doctors had no information to offer Ari.  After doing research, Ari found that science actually does not support the idea that adrenal fatigue is a significant cause of chronic fatigue. Well, Ari realized that no one truly understands what is causing fatigue.  [08:45] The Key To Overcoming Fatigue Is Growing More Mitochondria  Finding ways to grow more mitochondria and strengthen your mitochondria is a massive key to the puzzle of overcoming fatigue.  The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.  We are taught to think of mitochondria as these mindless energy generators. Something you may not know is the mitochondria have a dual role beyond energy production, which is just as important as their role in energy production.  The mitochondria also help with energy regulation.  Your energy levels are a function of the degree to which your mitochondria decide if you’re safe or if you’re under attack.  [17:50] Hormetic Stressors Will Make Your Mitochondria Bigger and Stronger  Hormetic stress is how a transient metabolic stressor works to stimulate beneficial adaptations that ultimately increase resilience and resistance in the face of a broad range of other stressors.  Basically, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  By exposing yourself to moderate stressors within your body's capacity, you make your body more robust and more resistant.  Hormetic stressors are vital for challenging our mitochondria and stimulating them in a way that makes them bigger and stronger. [27:30] Is Your Body Under Attack? Your Brain Will Create Sickness Behavior When cells are under attack, they shift all their resources to defense mode.  Cells will go into defense mode to protect themselves. They also go into defense mode as an evolutionary adaptive mechanism to help the body’s energy and resources be redirected towards defending against the threat. When we have lots of immune activation and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, the brain responds by also creating sickness behavior, which includes fatigue. When your brain creates sickness behavior, it protects you from over-expending energy and depleting resources.  [42:40] The Importance of Melatonin: What You Need To Know You get 50 to 70 percent suppression of melatonin secretion by the brain in the evenings due to simply being in a typical home under standard indoor home lighting.  Melatonin is a vital hormone for protecting your mitochondria and protecting your brain’s neurons.  If you're chronically suppressing melatonin at the cellular level, you will have chronic melatonin deficiency.  Sadly, melatonin doesn’t get the respect that it deserves.  [1:05:15] Ari Is Hypersensitive To Melatonin Supplements - Are You?  Ari is hypersensitive to melatonin if he takes it in supplement form. After polling his audience, about 25% of people are sensitive to melatonin.  People who take melatonin for a significant time will sleep poorly after coming off of it. It will take people a few days for sleep to normalize without taking melatonin.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, we have Charles Clay. He is an Inner Peace Coach, Dynamic Speaker, Published Author, and the Founder of Freedom From Pain Coaching. His mission is to help people discover and embrace their most powerful selves so they can share their special gifts, talents, and passions with the world while overcoming obstacles like fear and resistance.  During his childhood, his parents got divorced. Seeing his beloved mother leave is such a traumatic experience for a four-year-old kid that it opens a wound inside him. Charles then starts to think that his a failure and that his not good enough, which shows up as struggles later in his life.  Later on, he finds out that his mother has died, and instead of facing his emotions, Charles chooses to contain and control his emotions, not letting anybody disturb him. With his background in Kinesiology, Health and Wellness, and exercise science, he tries to heal his pain, but nothing works long-term.  In Mammoth Mountain, Charles experiences a huge tragedy that threatens his life. But with his health and wellness knowledge, Charles chooses the path of self-healing instead of conventional medicine. This is also when he decides to surrender and let go of all his hidden emotions.  With the help of his friend, Charles discovered Neuro Kinetic Therapy, the work of David Weinstock, which catapulted his career and trajectory in life. Now, Charles helps other people to have natural healing by understanding messages from the body.  In this episode, Charles Clay dives into what addiction is and how we can free ourselves from it.  He also tackles the definition of inner peace and how people can find it. Tune in as we chat about addiction, inner peace, confronting pain and grief, knowing the personas within you, and more!

[14:03] Are you Addicted? Learn What Addiction is and How to Free Yourself From It  -       Addiction is all about our relationships, such as with our body or substances. -       Addiction is when it is out of balance and becomes overused to the point where it's not serving us anymore and can hinder us in many ways. -       The neurotransmitters, adrenaline, oxytocin, and all these good feelings already within you are your natural pharmacy. Outsourcing those things can help you lose the magnetism to your addictions. -       If we are trying not to feel grief or move through that and not let our bodies experience that, we seek smoking, or whatever the crutch is, to help us avoid that uncomfortable and scary feeling. But doing so leads to illness and disease.  [22:17] Control the Negative Voices Inside of Your Head by Knowing Yourself  -       Our psyche or ego has all different personas, and trying to exclude them in your head will not work. -       Instead of getting the negative voices out, know these parts of yourself, give it a name, character, and accept it as a part of you. -       Began to know your ego and understand its purpose. -       This is a game changer when you get to know and integrate these parts of you. And they are much like our human souls that want to be seen, heard, and appreciated for their purpose. -       After knowing these parts of yourself, pull them out like weeds and plant deeper truths, and bring that love, support, and safety to the parts of you that need it most.  [35:59] Curious what Inner Peace Is? Listen and Learn to Apply It In your Life  -       Inner peace is our natural state, like our home base, only filled with our life force energy, fully inhabiting our body with our soul, so much so that there's no room for anything else. -       When you're present with nature, there's so much it teaches us. -       Looking at nature, Mother Earth provides enough abundance and resources for every living being, man and animal, to thrive. It's not a matter of whether there's enough; it's a matter of dispersing it and getting that to the right people, places, and things that need it. -       When humans connect like nature, it always gives us clues than answers when communicating that way.  [40:27] Want to Know Your Inner Peace? Join An Inner Peace Coach to Help You!  -       There's the inner peace process, which is to go back to our young age, where this developed in the first place. Through this process, you can access pinpoints you can use to repair that version of yourself and identify those decisions about yourself regarding not being good enough or comparing yourself to others. -       You can also enter your inner peace by addressing your psyche, specifically getting to know this persona of yours. -       Before you go on stage or to an event, take a moment to visualize the best-case scenario and allow yourself to experience that viscerally. Take a moment to breathe deeply and tune into connecting with the audience. -       The more you put your attention and energy into the optimal case scenario, you've just increased your chances of that happening exponentially.   [45:53] The Success Rate of Working With Your Inner Peace Is 99 percent -       Making the decisions that can enable what your body is trying to tell you in the first place is easier when you can go to the root of how this is happening for you and understand those lessons and gifts. -       Allowing self-inquiry and asking questions enables your mind to go from instead of the negative default programs to being a beautiful instrument of the heart, like a heat-seeking missile looking for answers. -       Your body's trying to tell you, and it doesn't talk through words like we do. It talks about your feelings. -       Ask yourself what lessons to learn and what blessings to earn from this experience. -       Inner work and improving that relationship with your body has a 99 percent success rate because you can go to doctors or on Google and seek externally, but nobody knows you, your soul, and your body like you.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Alan Cash. He serves as founder and chief science officer at Terra Biological.  Join my upcoming FREE keto LIVE training here: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com  Researching into the molecular and genomic mechanisms of aging and the effects of calorie restriction on aging, Mr. Cash developed unique molecular methods and compounds to mimic calorie restriction and extend lifespan in laboratory animals.  Mr. Cash has an MS in physics from the University of Oklahoma.  As an entrepreneur, Mr. Cash has gained recognition and awards from the White House, INC 500 business,  Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Deloitte and Touche Technology Fast 50, and Top 100 Hotfirm.   In this episode, Alan talks about his passion for researching the mechanisms behind aging. During a study, Alan found that oxaloacetate extends the lifespan of worms. He speaks about the other clinical research Alan has done around oxaloacetate and what are the most surprising benefits of this compound. Alan dives into reversing some of the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and chronic fatigue syndrome. Tune in as we chat about how Alan is researching the effects of oxaloacetate on women with breast cancer.  💊 Purchase Benagene oxaloacetate here: https://bit.ly/3HJLZ44 💊 Purchase Jubilance PMS support here: https://bit.ly/39JJuST / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

So, Alan fed worms oxaloacetate to see if they would live longer. It worked! It’s not often you find a way to extend the lifespan of a species. [19:20] Is There Any Concern With Ascorbic Acid and Throwing Off The Copper To Iron Ratio?  One hundred fifty milligrams of ascorbic acid is not enough to do anything unless you are very, very sensitive to vitamin C.  If you drink a glass of orange juice and feel terrible, you’re probably sensitive to vitamin C. It’s very rare to be sensitive to vitamin C. If you are sensitive to vitamin C, you should not take benaGene.  [21:40] The Reason You Should Take Oxaloacetate Every Single Day  The best use of oxaloacetate is to use it every day. Oxaloacetate will help with fasting glucose levels and mood issues. When you take oxaloacetate regularly, you can reduce the amount of blood glucose swing throughout the day by 55%. About 10% of the total genes out there change when you calorie restrict. Typically, you will see genomic responses in 30 to 45 days by taking oxaloacetate.  [30:05] How Oxaloacetate Can Help With PMS and PMDD Symptoms  In the past, we thought that PMS was due to hormonal issues because it happened every month. Well, hormones do help with the timing of things. However, the actual problems seem to be linked to the brain. Women with emotional issues need more glucose in their cerebellum.  If you give them glucose, they will feel better. This is why women are reaching for chocolate and carbohydrates. Oxaloacetate converts fatty acids that circulate through your system into glucose. That way, you can make glucose at these times when you need it! During a trial, Alan saw over a 50% reduction in depression and anxiety and a 48% reduction in suicidal ideation by taking oxaloacetate.  [38:30] The Most Surprising Benefits Alan Has Seen From Oxaloacetate Alan was surprised to find that oxaloacetate extends the lifespan of worms.  As far as inflammation, Alan did some cellular work with oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate can reduce a significant inflammation pathway in your body.  Alan’s customers have reported that oxaloacetate helped them with chronic fatigue syndrome.  Within six weeks, the average reduction in fatigue was 25 to 30%. That’s life-changing!  [51:30] Could Oxaloacetate Help People With Breast Cancer?  In cancer cells, when we increase the levels of oxaloacetate, it reverses the Warburg Effect.  The Warburg Effect is where solid cancers take in much more glucose into their cells. They burn that glucose, not in the mitochondria but fermented in the cell’s cytosol.  The Warburg Effect makes tumors grow faster but makes them more lethal.  Alan is in the middle of a clinical trial on patients with breast cancer and how oxaloacetate can help with their fatigue.  AND MUCH MORE!

[20:18] How Keto and Intermittent Fasting Helps Overcome Addiction  -       Most medicine and healthcare these days are not necessarily to alleviate suffering but to prolong life. -       Suffering addiction patients are drawn to sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods. -       Sugar, refined foods, and highly processed carbohydrates are addictive. -       With a no-sugar diet, patients with mental problems were positively impacted. -       Once we start healing and finding the sweetness inside, we will automatically stop looking for the sweetness outside in food.  [30:55] CrossFit Health: Creating the Path in Connecting Health and Fitness  -       Karen organized a huge low-carb conference in South Africa, inviting all well-known low-carb advocates. -       CrossFit’s purpose is to bridge the gap between nutrition and exercise. -       When people become too stuck on the external appearance in any part of any training, we lose sight of the bigger picture and how it will affect us later in life, which is what we need to focus on.  [39:33] Are Carnivore Diet for Life Good Or Bad?  -       Karen doesn’t believe in the carnivore diet for life but said that it is still a great therapeutic tool. - Occasionally, a carnivore diet is great when resetting or dealing with mental health. -       Everyone should try and experiment with it. -       On the other hand, to determine which vegetables to eat, you need to eat them and see how you feel afterward.  [44:51 Artificial Sweeteners: Can You Use It as a Sugar Replacement? -       Yes, artificial sweeteners are not ideal. But sometimes, we need them as a stepping stone to something else. -       To replace sugar, remove the component that needs for sweetness for the sweet taste.
