3 Health Myths That Are Sabotaging Your Results - Ben Azadi KKP: 91

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, SelfHacked, and LabTestAnalyzer. He is a thriving speaker and entrepreneur that has been independently researching health and science for over 15 years. Growing up with a myriad of health issues that conventional medicine failed to solve pushed Joe to study his own genes to get to the root cause of his problems. After fixing his chronic health issues with a personalized gene-based approach to health, he knew that he needed to share this information with the masses. Founding SelfHacked, LabTestAnalyzer and SelfDecode was Joe’s way of helping people take their health into their own hands. Now, Joe regularly speaks at events alongside the world’s top health experts and continues to work on enhancing his company’s products to provide people with access to cutting-edge tools and information designed to optimize health. In this episode, Joe talks about how his health started to crumble in his early twenties. When he decided to study the body to improve his health, Joe learned how genes could be the answer to optimizing his life. We talk about the critical markers for your body and how SelfDecode can be a life-changing tool for your health journey. Joe dives into all the things affecting your health like diet, sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Tune in as we chat about the importance of light exposure, exercise, and Joe explains why your genetic risks are not the end of the world.

Eventually, his health crashed.  When his health crashed, Joe realized that he needed to study biology and how the body works.  He discovered that there was a lot of opportunity within genes to optimize his health.    [04:50] The Best Markers You Should Run For Your Own Body Joe uses his website, SelfDecode, to go in-depth on his tests. Check out his site here: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) People need to look at the whole picture of their test results. Don’t get lost in the minor details.  If you have genetic sequencing done, you can use that for SelfDecode. If you don’t have one, you can purchase it from them.    [11:25] You Don’t Feel Well Because You Are Eating An Unsuitable Diet Many people are attracted to a diet when they notice they feel better from it. Joe eats a low-carb and meat-based diet. Genetics has something to say about how people digest carbs. Some genes are related to how people interact with their diet.  Many genes are related to how people process fats.   [18:05] About The Sleep Deficit and What Problems Joe Will See With Sleep Sleep is an art.  Sleep is something that people have to be conscious of and not take for granted.  There's a lot of things that could go wrong with sleep.  Some problems that you could be having with your sleep: Not enough REM Not enough slow-wave Waking up in the middle of the night Having to pee Not getting a good rhythm  Waking up from the light too early Light in the room at night Poor temperature Eating too late As you can see, so many things can go wrong with your sleep. If you don’t sleep well, you are not going to feel well. If you aren’t tracking your sleep, you will never know.    [22:55] Light Exposure Is Great For Feeling More Productive   If you don’t go outside during the day, you aren’t going to feel as good.  Joe gets at least three hours of light a day. When he gets light, he notices an impact.  You need at least two hours a day minimum.  The more light you get each day, the better off you are going to be.  Don’t wear your sunglasses!  If you don’t get a lot of sun exposure, red light therapy can be the next best option.    [29:30] How Unhappiness and Stress Can Affect Your Health Journey  One of the main contributors affecting your longevity and health has to do with stress. The people who live longer deal with stress a lot better. Stress really is detrimental to the body in many ways. If you don't have good personal relationships, that can cause a lot of stress.  Community is another great way to feel better and less stressed.    [36:30] Natural Stressors Are A Great Way To Feel Better  Exercise is a great natural stressor. Other stressors include cold and hot therapies.  Changing your diet is another stressor. If you aren’t stressing your mind and your body, then you aren’t going to grow.    [38:05] Environmental Toxins Are Causing Health Problems  VOCs, mold, and environmental pollution are causing health problems.  Open up your windows every single day to help with environmental toxins.  Getting outside will also be helpful.  When you breathe in the fresh air, it helps your immune system.    [43:55] What's The Difference Between Genetic Risk and Overall Risk?  Risk is a probabilistic number.  You can prevent genetic risks by living a healthy lifestyle. If you have a high risk for something, that doesn’t mean you will get it.  Overall, having a high genetic risk doesn’t mean you actually have a high risk.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out SelfHacked: https://selfhacked.com/ Learn more about SelfDecode: https://selfdecode.com/ (use code KETOKAMP) Get the LabTestAnalyzer: https://www.labtestanalyzer.com/ Follow Joe Cohen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrbiohacker/ Follow SelfDecode Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfdecode/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/selfdecode Twitter: https://twitter.com/SelfDecode Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_H Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.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.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Joy Kong. She is a UCLA-trained and triple board-certified physician, president of Thea Center for Regenerative Medicine in Los Angeles, California, founder of Chara Biologics, and President of the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy. She spearheads research and development in stem cell therapy, has proven herself a major force in regenerative medicine in the United States, and functions as a tireless mentor for many other physician Dr. Kong is the founder of Chara Biologics, a company that provides premier regenerative medicine products to physicians across the United States. She is also the president of American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, and an avid educator, helping physicians to become fully trained in the science and practice of regenerative medicine. Dr. Kong is also keenly interested in clinical research to advance the field of regenerative medicine, and has cofounded a research organization to conduct a variety of clinical studies. Dr. Kong has been recognized by the prestigious IAOTP (International Association of Top Professionals) with "Top Doctor of the Year in Stem Cell Therapy" (2019) for her contribution to the field of stem cell therapy, "Empowered Woman of the Year" (2019) for her entrepreneurship and leadership, and "Book of the Year" (2020) for her memoir "Tiger of Beijing." In this episode, Dr. Kong talks about what it was like growing up in Beijing, China. She dives into the differences between healthcare in China and healthcare in the United States. Then, Dr. Kong chats all about the aging process and how stem cells can be a total game-changer on your journey. Stem cells can be the key to living a longer and higher quality life. Tune in as we discuss critical supplements for feeling better, and Dr. Kong talks about the inspiration behind her book, Tiger of Beijing.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [00:25] What It Was Like Growing Up In Beijing, China  Dr. Kong grew up on a university campus. It was more sheltered than most people in China.  She grew up in an environment of learning and pursuing knowledge. However, Dr. Kong was also a bit of a rebel. Dr. Kong never liked rules that didn’t make sense. She has been getting in trouble since kindergarten.  Overall, Dr. Kong learned that your environment can give you a certain strength or put you in a certain restraint.   [03:45] The Differences In China and America When It Comes To Healthcare  China has the biggest population in the world.  There are two medical systems. People can choose to go into Chinese medicine or go into Western medicine. People who go into Chinese medicine also have to learn the whole Western medicine system. Only when people get great benefits will they start to accept a new approach to healthcare.  Just because studies aren’t in English, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.    [09:20] Can The Aging Process Slow Down For Humans?  There are all these markers and symptoms of aging; we still haven't been able to label aging as a disease. Aging is a comorbidity. However, aging is just part of human life.  Some people will have a heart attack and die, while others will live until their late nineties. Which way do you want your life to be? We need to pay attention to optimizing our bodies, so we don’t suddenly have health issues as we age.    [13:40] Stem Cells Have The Power and Potential To Do A Lot For Your Body  Each stem cell contains this full package of intelligence that actually makes being a human possible. A single stem cell has so much potential.  How well a stem cell treatment works will depend on where the stem cells came from and how well they are made.  Dr. Kong will get a stem cell treatment for herself every three months.    [16:40] Are Stem Cells The Key To Humans Living Longer?  Studies have come out looking at the potential capabilities of stem cells to prolong life and extend healthspan. In a study of rats and mice, a simple stem cell infusion can actually extend their lifespan by about 30%. Plus, it preserves their physical capabilities and mental capacities.  If you can prevent the aging process, then you prevent the whole cascade to disease. You can avoid a lot of suffering by getting a stem cell treatment.    [23:15] What To Know About Stem Cell Therapy With Dr. Kong First of all, before stem cells, there is a very comprehensive evaluation.  Then, a naturopathic doctor will go over your entire history.  Next, Dr. Kong will address deficiencies that are going on in your body. Plus, Dr. Kong will suggest lifestyle changes that she wants her patients to make. That way, you will have optimal results.  Depending on what the patient needs, Dr. Kong will create a treatment plan. Check out Dr. Kong’s website: https://theacrm.com   [27:25] Who Can Benefit From Stem Cell Treatments?  If you are over age 35, you will start to notice aging.  Everyone above age 35 can benefit from stem cells.  Even if you are much older, stem cells will still benefit you.  When researchers gave old rats stem cells, their lifespan tripled.  The key is enhancing your quality of life with stem cells.    [30:15] Natural Ways To Produce More Stem Cells In Your Body Fasting and intermittent fasting are powerful tools.  Dr. Kong doesn’t eat before noon every day – at least 16 hours of fasting.  What you eat will be the foundation of your body. Let food be your medicine.  We need to respect the vessel that we are gifted.   [32:00] Aging: What Is Really Happening In The Human Body?  When we age, we are running out of stem cells.  Being alive means we are getting damaged.  As long as you have enough cells to replace what's damaged, then you're good. Stem cells are the engine of the body. If you don’t have an engine, then you’re not going to get anywhere.    [37:15] Dr. Kong Recommends Supplements That Will Help Cellular Function  Dr. Kong says vitamin D is so essential.  Omega 3 is also important.  Fulvic acid is one of Dr. Kong’s favorites.  Ben even puts fulvic acid in his dog’s water bowl.    [41:30] The Inspiration Behind Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician Get Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician: https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beijing-Inspirational-Regenerative-Physician/dp/1647139740/benazadi-20 This book is about Dr. Kong’s dream to come to the United States. However, she had every card stacked against her.  The first chapter starts with getting her visa rejected; it was one of the biggest obstacles in her life.  Dr. Kong is grateful for America, and she feels like she belongs here.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Kong’s Website: https://theacrm.com Get Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician: https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beijing-Inspirational-Regenerative-Physician/dp/1647139740/benazadi-20 Follow Dr. Kong Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiger_of_beijing/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drjoykong LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-kong-md-4b8627123/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DluAQkmwalQ 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 Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.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.

One out of every three Americans is diagnosed with cancer. So, it is very important to learn how to cope and deal with it. If you or any of your loved have ever been affected by cancer, this is going to be the episode you’re gonna want to listen. In this episode, I am joined by a world leader in cancer research and the author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer, Dr. Nasha Winters. I’m thrilled to have Dr. Nasha on to bring us wisdom and tips in navigating the cancer terrain. Register for my FREE intermittent fasting masterclass: http://www.intermittentfastingmasterclass.com Dr. Nasha Winters speaks from experience when she talks about Cancer and how to be proactive in preventing and/or combating it. Her first experience with cancer was at the age of 19. She was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer and given only a few months to live. Determine to get well, she discovered the life changes that would turn it around. She immersed herself in chemistry and biology and became her own savior. Her book, The Metabolic Approach to Cancer, stems from her nearly three decades of personal and professional experience in the field of integrative oncology. Dr. Nasha is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and a Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO). She is a global healthcare authority in integrative cancer research. Dr. Nasha is a sought-after speaker and consults with physicians worldwide. This episode is all about cancer and we dig deep as to why this disease is happening. Listen and learn from the stories that Dr. Nasha shares that will truly affect your heart. We also talked about skin cancer, BRCA gene, vitamin D and more. There’s so much information in this episode making it truly one for the books!

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  In this episode, you'll discover: [4:24] Dr. Nasha’s first experience with cancer At the age of 19, Dr. Nasha was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. She was given 3 to 6 months to live, even with treatment. She was filled with ascites, metastatic lesions, crippled in extreme pain and nausea, had infections simmering, severe malnourishment, and muscle wasting. Her doctors told her that chemo and surgery wouldn’t help her advanced cancer. The diagnosis of terminal cancer suddenly shook her awake and asked her point-blank if she wanted to live or die. It had taken countless doctors over six months to stop making assumptions and defaulting to writing scripts from A (anxiolytics) to Z (Zithromax).  Dr. Nasha was forced to explore alternative methods. Luckily, she was blessed with an ER doctor who allowed her the time to share the chronology of her symptoms and truly listen. In the last 6 months, Dr. Nasha have seen 5 girls under the age of 10 with Stage IV Ovarian cancer.  Dr. Nasha acknowledges that her past experiences of significant trauma and abuse contributed to her illness.   [17:42] What is The Gerson Therapy? The Gerson Therapy was popularized in the 1940s by Dr. Charlotte Gerson. Dr. Gerson had amazing experience of solving all kinds of oncology situations by putting people on a very vegetable-densed high potassium, low sodium chloride diet.  The key parts of the Gerson therapy are a strict diet, dietary supplements, and enemas.   [24:12] Sharing authentically is very powerful for healing the body.  The theory that changing mental state can affect the course of cancer has been popularized by authors such as Bernie Siegel and Deepak Chopra.  A support group program called Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECap) developed by Dr. Siegel found that women with breast cancer has a higher chance of survival rate when they are part of a support group. Take The ACE Quiz - According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems.   [27:45] The Cancer Experience Having been diagnosed with cancer felt a very dirty secret for Dr. Nasha. The first person that she has told about her diagnosis then is now her husband.  The hardest thing when you are dealing with a cancer diagnosis is the well-meaning advice and wishes of the people in your circle.  You could take every perfect supplement. You could be in perfect metabolic flexibility. You can have an incredibly immaculate clean environment. But, if you are not dealing with the emotional healing within yourselves, you are not gonna get very far. You are not gonna get the outcomes you are hoping to achieve. People have to come to it when they are ready. Check out this resource from Dr. Nasha: 5 Steps to Take After a Cancer Diagnosis   [34:38] Top tools to heal your body At 16, Dr. Nasha decided to become a ‘vegetarian’.  A Chinese medical practitioner looked at her tongue and told her, “You have to eat some animal food.” TEST. ASSESS. ADDRESS. Adjust accordingly. Consistently do your labs. Do not guess. Do not compare.  Dr. Nasha advices people diagnosed with cancer to not tell everybody in the beginning. When you tell your loved ones, you deal with their reactions and you don’t get the opportunity to work on your own. [41:28] Issue with eating every two to three hours When we eat that often, we don’t give ourselves the bowel rest we need so that everything can clear up and evacuate. You have to give that window of autophagy to take out the garbage. Somewhere between 12 to 72 hours (depending on the person and situation), that’s what it’ll take to get some autophagy.  If you fast 13 hours a day and you are eating clean and relatively low carb, you will shift into some moderate autophagy.  When you are dealing with cancer, you’d want to moderate or lower your protein to avoid clicking on the mTOR pathways.  Kick-up your fats and restrict your carbohydrates to stay off the insulin growth factor aspect.  Bring in some intermittent fasting.  13 hours everyday, 16 to 18 hours twice a week, 3 days a month of fasting.  Walk towards to water fasting.  If you feel hungry, drink water. If after 15 minutes, you are still hungry, have a teaspon of coconut oil. After 15 minutes again, have a little bit of protein. If you are still hungry after that, eat a piece of fruit.  Hunger is more psychological than physical.    [47:30] Tips for people who are recovering from surgery  Understand why did we get here. We can’t completely heal and stay healed in the soil in which we got sick. Learn about The Terrain Ten, Dr. Winters’s cancer program for achieving optimal health See a prostate specialist to have a look for infectious agents.  Do some basic good laboratory assessment. Rule of thumb specific for prostate cancer only:  Avoid poultry skin and dairy. If you want dairy, take occasional heavy sour cream.  Quality is key. We don’t want extras because extras are all cancer drivers. Avoid red meat especially if you have the ACSL1.  Monitor both free and total PSA and PAP. Get a BIOCEPT prostate profile and circulating tumor cell count enumeration.   [52:36] Fasting, Keto and Skin Cancer: Myths and Facts All of us could benefit from a lower carbohydrate diet and higher plant intake diet.  Sugar drives the viral process. Melanoma is not a skin cancer. It is a systemic cancer. It is one of the cancers that the Gerson Diet does a pretty good job with.  Low carb diet to vegetarian diet Apply soap to pits and parts. Do not damage the absorption process of your skin.  Get a good bath every two weeks.  Skin tags are blood sugars. If you see skin tags, you are looking at diabetes.  [60:00] Test. Assess. Address. Dr. Nasha encourages everyone to run at least annually a complete metabolic panel (CMP),  complete blood count (CBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test. Awareness is the first step. Make sure you vitamin D levels are above 50, if you are not dealing with a chronic illness. Even though an LDH test is useful in diagnosing tissue damage, other tests are usually necessary to pinpoint the location of the damage. One such test is called the LDH isoenzymes test. LDH isoenzymes are five kinds of the LDH enzyme that are found in specific concentrations in different organs and tissues.    [68:00]  What is The BRCA gene? The name “BRCA” is an abbreviation for “BReast CAncer gene.” BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two different genes that have been found to impact a person’s chances of developing breast cancer. When a BRCA gene is mutated, it may no longer be effective at repairing broken DNA and helping to prevent breast cancer. Because of this, people with a BRCA gene mutation are more likely to develop breast cancer, and more likely to develop cancer at a younger age. The carrier of the mutated gene can also pass a gene mutation down to his or her offspring.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Email me at support@ketokamp.com Claim my FREE Keto Kickstart Guide: www.ketokickstartguide.com Subscribe to the Keto Kamp YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp  Register for my FREE intermittent fasting masterclass: http://www.intermittentfastingmasterclass.com To know more about Dr. Nasha Winters, visit her website here.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Max MacCloud. Dr. Max (Max B. MacCloud, DO, ND, PhD) is the developer of Superfood Protein Mix and all of our formulations, he’s also the founder of Body Symphony. In addition to serving as Chief Medical & Science Officer he is in charge of ongoing product development and continually tweaking our products to make them even better. He also oversees and supervises production to ensure quality.  As a chunky 12 year old kid, he discovered the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition and transformed himself into one of the fittest kids around (placing in the top 3 in the tri-state area in the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Challenge all 4 years of High School). Optimum Health became his passion early on and he continues to learn more and apply those findings to make even better products. In this episode, Dr. Max talks about how he got started in the health space and the inspiration behind his company, Body Symphony. Dr. Max explains how Otto Warburg discovered, demonstrated, and basically proved the underlying mechanism of cancer. Then, we do a deep dive into homeostasis in the body and how fasting can be a great way to achieve homeostasis. Tune in as we chat about consuming baking soda to get carbon dioxide production and how to protect ourselves from dangerous electromagnetic fields.

The primary cause of cancer is disruption of mitochondrial respiration. The mitochondria can use oxygen for respiration.  90 plus percent of all the energy our bodies use comes from the mitochondria. However, they need oxygen to work.  If the mitochondria are deprived of oxygen for too long, they will die. [21:20] What Is Homeostasis In The Human Body?  What's the underlying mechanism of health and the loss of health? Basically, it comes back to homeostasis. Homeostasis is simply balanced and harmonious body chemistry. If you're looking at the blood, one of the prime indicators of homeostasis is blood sugar level. Every cell of our body is an electromagnet, and we are electrochemical, energetic organisms.  Manmade electricity will interfere with and conflict with our homeostasis.  [27:20] How To Mitigate The Damage From Electromagnetic Fields Get away from the Wi-Fi and hardwire your devices. Shield yourself whenever possible.  Get a lead shield underneath your laptop.  Dr. Max has a copper impregnated canopy for his bedroom.  Do not allow smart meters in your home. Learn more at InPower Movement: https://inpowermovement.com/ [33:05] How Fasting Can Be A Great Way To Achieve Homeostasis In The Body  One of the main ways that people disrupt homeostasis is eating.  Stress of any kind is going to at least temporarily upset homeostasis. If it's something that your body can adapt to, it will make your body stronger. For instance, exercise is a stress that will make your body stronger.  No matter how healthy food is, if you can't digest it, then it's a poison. The most direct thing a person can do to get control back of their body and support homeostasis is to stop eating. Increase the time that you’re in homeostasis by increasing your window of fasting. [47:30] Consuming Baking Soda To Get Carbon Dioxide Production Start with half a teaspoon of baking soda.  Eventually, increase it to a teaspoon.  If you have diarrhea, then you did too much.  Keep it moderate!  Dr. Max likes to mix it with apple cider vinegar.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Sam Apple. He is on the faculty of the MA in Science Writing and MA in Writing programs at Johns Hopkins. Prior to his arrival at Johns Hopkins, Apple taught creative writing and journalism at the University of Pennsylvania for ten years. He holds a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Michigan and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia University. Apple is the author of Ravenous American Parent, and Schlepping Through the Alps. He has published short stories, personal essays, satires, and journalistic features on a wide range of topics. In recent years, he has primarily written about science and health. His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Wired, The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times Magazine, ESPN The Magazine, The MIT Technology Review, and McSweeney’s, among many other publications. Schlepping Through the Alps was a finalist for the PEN America Award for a first work of nonfiction. In this episode, Sam talks about the inspiration behind his book Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet. We dive into Otto Warburg’s work and how the Nazis protected him for his cancer science. Sam explains how sugar can promote cancer growth and what steps you can take to lower your insulin levels. Tune in as we chat about fasting, therapies for cancer, and the importance of exercise.

Plus, Gary Taubes inspired him. Sam was really surprised to learn that that cancer was associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. He wanted to dig further on the connection between cancer and metabolic disease.  [02:10] The Nazis Protected Warburg For His Cancer Research In 1923, Warburg makes this famous discovery called the Warburg Effect. Cancer cells take up a lot more glucose than other cells and burn it without oxygen; they ferment it, just like microorganisms do. Warburg also has made other discoveries about how cells breathe and use oxygen. He wins the Nobel Prize in 1931. In 1933, the Nazis come along. Despite having a Jewish father and being openly gay, the Nazis protected Warburg because they were interested in his cancer research. [06:50] Warburg’s Studies Started To Disappear After The War After the war, Warburg’s cancer research really starts to disappear. Australia in the 1950s famously discovered the structure of DNA. Eventually, we had a new sort of genetic understanding of cancer where we can now identify specific mutations. So, how cells take up glucose and shift their metabolism was considered irrelevant because of the study of genetics. Warburg’s studies take peoeple back to diet, and there’s a huge bias against taking diet seriously. [12:20] What Sugar Does To Promote Cancer Growth If cancer is about these metabolic shifts inside of a cell, what is it about the way we eat that affects the way a cell eats? In America, one out of three women are diagnosed with cancer within their lifetime. For men, it's about one in two. Cancer is closely linked to obesity. 13 of the deadliest cancers have been solidly linked to obesity. Sam wanted to know if obesity was causing cancer or if something was driving both. Elevated levels of the hormone insulin are responsible for obesity and give microscopic cancers a chance to grow and thrive. What is it about our diet that causes insulin to rise? Sugar! The increase in sugar consumption maps pretty closely to the rise of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. [19:30] How A Keto Diet That Will Help You Prevent Cancer Sam is a huge believer that keto is a logical way to prevent cancer. The single most important thing you can do to improve your odds for cancer prevention is to keep your insulin levels low. Hyperinsulinemia promotes the growth of cancer. So, it’s important to follow a diet that keeps your insulin levels down. [22:20] Intermittent Fasting Is Another Great Way To Lower Insulin Intermittent fasting is one very successful strategy for keeping insulin down. If you can fast consistently, it seems to work quite effectively on lowering insulin. Fasting can lead to weight loss because it lowers insulin levels in the body. Sam wants to point out that thin people can still have insulin resistance. In some ways, being naturally thin can actually be a disadvantage because you can't store subcutaneous fat. [26:30] How To Optimize Insulin and Glucose Levels To Be Proactive Instead of Reactive You can't outrun a bad diet. However, exercise can help you feel better and make you more inspired to follow a low-carb diet. After workouts, you can be inspired to eat healthily and continue to feel good. Once you understand that sugar is linked to cancer, it should help you ditch it during mealtime. [38:30] Finding Therapies To Target Specific Cancer Mutations When cancer can eat lots of glucose, it's no longer thinking about dying; it's thinking about doing a lot more things. Based on which particular mutation you have, the oncologist will devise a treatment. Unfortunately, targeted therapies to specific mutations haven't been as successful as we would have liked. However, there are some cases where therapies will successfully target mutations. [42:25] The Best Preventative Measures To Preventing Cancer In The Future Eliminate sugar from your diet. Definitely eliminate liquid sugar from your diet. If you are insulin resistant, you need to reduce those insulin levels. Stop smoking. Cut out refined carbohydrates.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Bitten Johnson. It has been 27 years since Bitten started her journey into food addiction, which she now calls “Sugar Addiction.” Over the years Bitten has had the good fortune to collaborate with many professionals and treat thousands of people worldwide. Through these collaborations, Bitten have developed a deep understanding of the brain disease addiction and she has developed a unique treatment method called Holistic Addiction Medicine. Bitten has trained many professionals in her native country and now it is time to bring Holistic Medicine for Addiction (HMA) to you. All addiction begins in the brain, regardless of the drug, so Bitten works with ASAM’s definition of Addiction Interaction Disorder which aims to correct the dysfunctions of the brain’s circuitry. The word addiction comes from the Latin word “addicere” which means being a slave to something. Addictions are powerful and lead to hundreds of deaths every day. Bitten is a registered nurse, addiction specialist and ADDIS®/SUGAR® authorized (addiction screening, assessment and diagnostic tools) and currently offer courses and training for professionals. Today there are many very skilled counselors all over the world to whom Bitten refers any clients that contact her. Bitten’s mission is to bring knowledge and experience to others so that more people are able to diagnose and treat this fatal disease, addiction, in order to free people from this painful illness and to decrease shame and stigma. In this episode, Bitten talks about becoming an expert on sugar addiction. Once you realize that addiction is something going on in your brain, you can start to heal. Bitten explains how you can tell the difference between someone who is an addict and someone who is a harmful user. Later, we talk about how sugar addicts can start the keto diet and whether or not you need to stay away from natural sweeteners. Tune in as Bitten explains why an “LSD” trip can be a fantastic tool on your journey to health.

In nursing school, Bitten learned that you suppress your appetite if you smoke. So that's why she started smoking. Then, Bitten became an alcoholic. Addiction is about the brain and how your brain reacts to substances. At age 33, Bitten fell in love with addiction medicine. Bitten knew that she was using ice cream and chocolate the same way she would use alcohol.   [13:00] Addiction Is All About What Is Happening In Your Brain You can be addicted to something with just small amounts. Addiction is all about what is going on in your brain. You don’t have to eat a lot or drink a lot to be an addict. As time goes on, you will increase how much you are drinking or eating. Each drug that comes into your life, you become addicted to faster and faster.   [15:10] How To Identify Whether or Not Your Addiction Is Real There’s a difference between harmful use and addiction. You need to figure out which one you have because there will be different treatments. Harmful users are emotional eaters. They eat when they are sad, happy, stressed, etc. There are all kinds of reasons why people will overeat. Ask a harmful user, “why?” There will be an answer. You can’t ask “why” to addict because it's a primary illness; it doesn't have a cause. Instead, you need to ask addicts how you can help them. Some problems that addiction will cause: Eating alone Poor economy Poor health Poor relationships Mood swings Loss of energy   [28:45] How To Start Living a Ketogenic Lifestyle if You’re An Addict The keto diet is the best diet for broken brains and for addicts. You will need tremendous support going from junk foods to keto foods. Screen yourself for sugar addiction on Bitten’s website here: https://www.bittensaddiction.com/en/addiction/sugar-addiction/ Remember, addiction is a serious brain illness. The more symptoms you have, the longer you've had it, the more severe it is. So, it’s critical to find support before starting the journey to keto.   [39:15] It’s Not What You Think: Take An LSD Trip To Improve Your Health To increase insulin sensitivity, you have to walk a long slow distance (LSD). An LSD trip is one of Bitten’s favorite tools. If you’re going from junk food to keto, you need tools in your toolbelt. One great tool is LSD walks. Promise yourself that you will take long walks and eat your keto foods.   [55:35] Do Addicts Need To Stay Away From Natural Sweeteners? If you’re having a hard time with sugar, natural sweeteners can be useful. However, anything sweet will be a trigger for addicts. Seeing things and smelling things are also triggers. It’s not about willpower; it’s all about the involuntary reaction in your brain.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Bitten Johnson’s Website: https://www.bittensaddiction.com/ Follow Bitten Johnson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bittensaddiction/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BittenJonsson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bittensaddiction/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjACTQb2C2J6yRhd7dcX5rw Join the Facebook Group Sugarbomb in Your Brain: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1682784168624569/ Watch Ben on Bitten’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJcSaTpCO84 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.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.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Joan Ifland. With the publication of her textbook, Processed Food Addiction, Dr. Ifland is considered to be the world's leading expert in processed food addiction. Backed by new technology developed in the textbook, Dr. Ifland has developed cutting-edge innovations in online programs addressing compulsive overeating and diet-related diseases.  With the introduction of RESET WEEK and the Daily Addiction Reset Community (Daily ARC), Dr. Ifland has brought recovery from compulsive overeating to a new level of effectiveness.   Her programs are easy to access. They save time and money for members while engaging participation for the long run. Members who have not had control over food since early childhood are now able to eat planned, healthy meals.  In this episode, Dr. Ifland talks about the inspiration behind her career in processed food addiction. If you're starting to ditch processed foods, it can be hard to go out with friends or be at home with your family for the holidays. It would help if you started associating processed foods with how they make you feel. Dr. Ifland dives into how the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry are making people's health much worse. Tune in as we chat about breaking a food addiction and the problem with most dietitians.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [00:40] Why Dr. Ifland Was Inspired to Start A Career In Processed Food Addiction Ifland had two pregnancies back-to-back. After that, she became a yo-yo dieter. She would try only to eat 1200 calories a day. However, this was making her processed food addiction worse. There are court documents that reveal companies took the tobacco addiction model and transferred it to sugar for children. It's not normal to think about food when you're not hungry. Americans think about food obsessively. After ditching processed foods, Dr. Ifland got rid of her brain fog, bloating, and a sinus infection. Plus, she was losing two pounds a week. Over 70% of the country in the US is now overweight or obese. Americans are deeply addicted to processed foods, and they don’t even know about it.  [12:25] You Need To Associate Processed Foods With The Pain You Feel Just because everyone is eating something, that doesn’t mean you should eat it too. You need to associate certain foods with the pain you feel from them. For instance, “I don’t eat that because it gives me a headache.” You want to retrain brain cells to associate foods with the pain you feel.   [16:55] You Can Addict Any Human To Any Substance If You Get Them Young Enough Smoking used to be the leading cause of preventable death globally. Now, diet-related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Smoking and diets are based on the same business model. The business model goes like this: Advertising Availability Affordability Young age of onset Hidden addictive product formulation The younger someone is when you addict them, the harder it will be for them to overcome the addiction. [32:20] Overeating Is An Addiction Done To You By The Food Industry It takes years to go to a social situation and not be bothered by people eating processed foods. The conformance tribe is significantly activated by food and by people you know well. The better you know a person, the more likely they will be able to trigger you into eating something bad. Overeating and diet-related diseases were done to you for profit by the food industry. [36:45] Free Donuts For Anyone Who Gets A Vaccine!   There is corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. 60% of Covid deaths are in people who have an underlying diet-related condition. People wouldn't have been able to eat enough processed foods to get a condition unless their addiction was driving them. The message to the world should have been about metabolic health. The addiction business model is also used by the pharmaceutical industry. [42:10] True or False: Sugar Addiction Is Not A Real Thing Dietitians are the “professional” arm of the processed food industry. The medical community is the marketing arm of the pharmaceutical industry. 40% of dietitians work for the processed food industry. If you’ve been to a conference for dietitians, they are sponsored by Kraft and Nabisco. Luckily, many dieticians are rebelling against processed foods. Check out Processed Food Addiction: http://processedfoodaddiction.com/ Read the Book Processed Food Addiction: https://www.amazon.com/Processed-Food-Addiction-Foundations-Assessment/dp/0367503425/benazadi-20 [45:00] The First Steps To Breaking Food Addiction It’s a very difficult process of acceptance, breaking through all the insanity you see out there and accepting that it's a severe addiction. Processed food addictions are deliberately made worse by the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. You need to go and ask for help to recover from your addiction. Also, you need to be really patient on your journey. Lastly, you need to incorporate healthy living into your life. [51:40] When Can You Start Eating Sugar Again?  People think that they will always want sugar. If you give up processed foods, then you will stop the cravings. Only 1% of the food in a grocery store is actually food. The rest of it is all drugs. Overall, Dr. Ifland says to have hope.
