How to Get Rid of Loose Flabby Skin after Weight Loss (5 Simple Steps) - Ben Azadi :KKP 120

Today, I am lucky to have here with me a CEO, author, president of the Applied Science and Performance Institute, and someone who is consistently working to spread awareness around the Ketogenic Lifestyle, Dr. Ryan P. Lowery.   He earned his BS and MS in exercise physiology and exercise and nutrition science from the University of Tampa and completed his doctorate work at Concordia University in Health and Human Performance with a focus on “The Effects of a Well-Formulated Ketogenic Diet and Exogenous Ketone Supplementation on Various Markers of Health and Body Composition in Healthy and Diseased Populations.”   Over his career, Ryan has published over 150 papers, abstracts, and book chapters on human performance and sports nutrition and has dedicated his life to educating the masses. In his free time, Ryan enjoys spending time with his best friend, Scoot the Keto Pup, jet skiing, and traveling around the world. The way to his heart is through a good glass of wine and Keto desserts.   In this episode, Ryan and I talk about his amazing story and what he is currently working on. First, Ryan reveals what ignited his passion for educating people on the importance of healthy eating. Then, Ryan explains the future of obesity and why inspired action is the only thing that will change the world. He also describes tips for eating Keto, why some people fail when trying the lifestyle, and how you can gain muscle.

When he got there, his grandmother had passed. His grandmother was obese, which ultimately contributed to her passing in her early 60’s. This initiated Ryan’s entire journey of educating people.   [03:45] The Future of Obesity The obesity trend in children is unacceptable. Obesity trends are not only in America, but it is also happening all over the world. At the end of the day, it takes inspired action.   [06:50] How Ryan Started with Keto Ryan is a self-proclaimed carboholic. After college, Ryan could no longer eat his normal amount of carbs. He realized his metabolism wasn’t the same. The first time Ryan started the keto diet, he felt terrible. Three times a day, he would make keto moose, and that was literally all he ate.   [10:00] Biggest Reason for the Keto Flu It is going to take time for your body to adjust to using fat as fuel. The use of electrolytes can mitigate a lot of the flu. Sodium has been demonized; however, you need to be salting everything. Some people can completely switch to keto, whereas other people need to transition to the diet slowly. Make habit changes to develop a long-term lifestyle.   [13:45] Building Muscle with the Ketogenic Diet You need to allow time for the adaptation period. The phase may be one to three weeks. Plus, you probably will not be training as hard. After you adapt, the ketogenic diet group will gain just as much muscle as individuals who are eating a carbohydrate diet. Each group ate the exact same amount of protein.   [17:40] Why People Fail with the Ketogenic Diet A lot of people do not have the right information about the ketogenic diet. Also, people have trouble understanding what constitutes a well-formulated ketogenic diet and how to get electrolytes. Eating keto isn’t about eating high-fat, it is about eating low-carb.   [20:10] Long-Term Keto Success Dial-in the electrolytes. Don’t be afraid of having tons of sodium. However, you don’t want table salt. Movement – if you want long-term benefits, you need some form of movement. This doesn’t have to be doing squats at the gym; you could be going for a walk or a hike once a day. Mindset – Ryan calls it intermittent eating rather than intermittent fasting. Find a place where you are comfortable.   [24:00] Working Out While Fasting If your goal is to become a bodybuilder, working out while fasting probably won’t help with that goal. Ryan recommends shifting your eating habits earlier. Many people skip breakfast, then eat lunch and dinner. Ryan says to eat a bigger breakfast and then eat a smaller dinner.   [27:35] The Ketogenic Bible The Ketogenic Bible: The Authoritative Guide to Ketosis makes understanding keto practical. Jacob Wilson and Ryan Lowery offer a comprehensive look at the ketogenic diet and the fat-burning state it induces, ketosis. Ryan’s favorite part of writing the book was looking up the history. For instance, Ryan found out the political motivations behind the reason’s society eats the way it does. Butter is back, and avocado sales are soaring.   [35:00] The Applied Science & Performance Institute   Their mission is to challenge current dogma in the health and human performance realms with new insight to effectively promote a healthy lifestyle and optimize physical performance. They want the information they find out from research to get out to the masses as soon as possible. To support the institute check out their website: The Applied Science & Performance Institute   [39:00] The Ketogenic Diet Puts You at a Metabolic Advantage  You are burning fat at a higher rate with ketosis. All calories are not the same. Carb calories vs. fiber calories are completely different. If you are trying to diet on a low-fat diet vs. a low-carb diet, the adherence rate to a low-carb diet is much higher. On a low-carb diet, people tend to eat fewer calories by nature.   [49:00] What Ryan is Most Excited About The potential we see in the neurological areas is so fascinating because keto is much more than a fat loss lifestyle. Keto provides a fuel source for the brain to utilize. Ryan works with NFL alumni. Some of them can’t leave their house without a monitor because they don’t know how to get home. Instead of attacking it with drugs, it could be their brain starving for energy.   [55:30] The Definition of Perfect Health Health is multifaceted. Living in a state of fulfillment and gratitude will take up a majority of our health. We could be in a poor state internally, but if we are fulfilled, then we are in a far better state than someone who is not.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Visit Ryan’s Website Visit Ketogenic.com Watch Ryan’s KetoCon 2018 Talk Connect with Dr. Ryan P.

Today, I am lucky to have here with me a wellness explorer, Mother, Wife, CEO, and someone who is insatiably curious about the healing power of the Earth’s most precious ingredients, Naomi Whittel.   The Real Skinny on Fat Docuseries: http://bit.ly/2kmITwE   Naomi Whittel is widely recognized as the one to watch in the “wellness from within” space. Named by Prevention the nation’s leading female innovator in the natural products industry, Naomi is hailed as a trailblazer and an advocate of purity and potency in nutraceuticals.   Naomi continues to deliver on her promise to help millions thrive with award-winning supplements they know will truly help them. A premier wellness partner for QVC, Naomi has also been recognized as one of the leading innovators in the natural products industry by Whole Foods Magazine in their exclusive “Who’s Who of Manufacturers and Suppliers.”   Her story and products have been lauded by The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, ABC News, PBS, InStyle, The View, The Doctors, Dr. Oz, SHAPE, Access Hollywood, Natural Solutions, Good Morning America, Today Show and more.   She is a steward of sustainability, a sought-after keynote speaker, and a member of the UN Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Naomi lives in Boca Raton, Florida with her husband and their four children.   In this episode, Naomi and I talked about the journey that led her to where she is today. First, Naomi reveals some health troubles she had growing up, which led her to try some alternative medicines. In the end, it had a damaging effect on her health. Then, Naomi explains the inspiration behind her book and docuseries while giving tips on antiaging and feeling our best. She also describes how she landed a rare interview with a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Tune in!   FREE KETO KICKSTART GUIDE: http://www.ketokickstartguide.com    The Real Skinny on Fat Docuseries: http://bit.ly/2kmITwE   [00:50] Naomi’s Previous Health Problems She spent her early childhood on an organic, biodynamic farm in Switzerland. Because her father is a chemist, he would teach Naomi about the essential elements needed as part of a health-promoting diet. Naomi suffered from debilitating eczema for which nothing seemed to work-not even traditional medicine. An acupuncturist provided her with a curative path through herbs and treatments. The symptoms of her eczema subsided over time. However, Naomi was confronted with dangerous levels of toxicity from heavy metals in the herbs she had ingested.   [08:11] The Queen of Autophagy Naomi travels all over to different parts of the world and sees the trends that will eventually make their way to the United States. She got into autophagy intuitively – she recognized that she had to be building or removing. Green juices helped Naomi to eliminate her toxic load.   [10:00] You Need to Start Eating Citrus Bergamont Naomi met with Dr. Elizabeth Janda, a researcher in Italy, opened Naomi’s eyes to this lifechanging fruit. Traditionally, the fruit is used to treat high cholesterol. Melitidin and brutieridin, discourage the production of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while helping your body make HDL (“good”) cholesterol.   [12:55] Activating Autophagy You can activate autophagy through exercise, sleeping, different foods, and a specific type of mindset. You can read Naomi’s book about autophagy here: Glow15: A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight, Revitalize Your Skin, and Invigorate Your Life   [15:15] Interviewing a Nobel Prize Winner Naomi landed a rare interview with Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi on autophagy. She cried tears of admiration after the interview because he is so humble. Ohsumi was malnourished as a child and dreamed of being a scientist. He created a whole body of work and research on autophagy.   [18:20] How Skincare Relates to Autophagy Naomi worked with a Richard C. Wang, a dermatologist, to determine how to activate autophagy in the skin. She brought him hundreds of ingredients. Dr. Wang discovered which ingredients would activate the autophagy: Caffeine Ceramides Polyphenols Trehalose Your skin is just a mirror of what is going on inside. Women in their 50’s may have skin that looks so much older because of the different fibers. Women have to become smart about activating autophagy in the skin to stay looking young.   [23:00] Antiaging Tips Learn how to activate cellular autophagy. It’s good for detoxing. Tap into your circadian rhythm. Teach your body to utilize good stress. Exercising can be a form of good stress. Autophagy loves good stress which has a massive antiaging effect.   [26:05] The Real Skinny on Fat Naomi interviewed over 80 experts for her docuseries The Real Skinny on Fat. Oz did a whole show on keto and showed parts of her docuseries. Some of the key points Naomi took out of it: We want to burn fat as our core fuel. 25% of the population can utilize carbohydrates effectively. For those who can’t, it’s better not to bother. Nuts are not the best way to get your fats because they aren’t the cleanest fuel. A lot of times, they are not gluten-free. We have the power to give our bodies exactly what we need; it’s not as complicated as we imagine. Naomi started by first interviewing Dr. Jeff Bland - Founder and Pioneer in Functional Medicine. She worked on the docuseries during the weekends and at night because of her full-time job. However, she still got all of the sleep she needed and ate a keto diet.   [35:45] Navigating Self-Limiting Beliefs Naomi started working on her belief system when she was 12 years old because of eczema. We have to nurture our brain by giving it our favorite foods and sleep. Our brains cleanse themselves while we are sleeping. At a young age, Naomi knew she could get away from negative thoughts by working on her subconscious mind. When she starts to hear negative thoughts, she uses affirmations. Naomi also uses neuro-linguistic programming.   [41:40] Whole Body Metabolism What we believe about metabolism is just a tiny fraction of what it is. Naomi’s next book will be about this very topic.     AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Visit Naomi Whittel’s Website Connect with Naomi Whittel: Facebook Twitter YouTube Instagram Glow15: A Science-Based Plan to Lose Weight, Revitalize Your Skin, and Invigorate Your Life by Naomi Whittel Rare Interview with Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi on Autophagy The Real Skinny on Fat   Email me at ben@ketokamp.com Join the The Keto Kamp Inner Circle   This podcast is for information purposes only.

On this episode of The Keto Kamp podcast we discuss the relationship between fasting, keto, and brain function.   You will be amazed when you discover how ketones and fasting super charge your brain top perform at a top level.   This episode is sponsored by my favorite olive oil, the Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club. Try them for $1.00 www.ketokampolive.com    The 4 key foods to stimulate neurogenesis:   1) Blueberries. I have blueberries just about every single day, and I recommend it to my clients. Not only is it low in sugar compared to other fruits, it is also packed full of antioxidants. Blueberries act in so many ways to promote neurogenesis and protect the brain from cognitive decline.   Numerous studies show adding blueberries to the daily diet of mice increases neurogenesis significantly.   Casadesus, G., Shukitt-Hale, B., Stellwagen, H.M., et al. (Oct 2004). “Modulation of hippocampal plasticity and cognitive behavior by short-term blueberry supplementation in aged rats.” Nutritional Neuroscience. 7(5-6):309-16.   Acosta, S., Jernberg, J., Sanberg, C.D., Sanberg, P.R., Small, B.J., Gemma, C., Bickford, P.C. (Oct 2010). Rejuvenation Res. 13 (5):581-8. doi 10.1089/rej.1011. Epub 29 Jun 2010.   Joseph, J.A., Shukitt-Hale, B., Lau, F. C. “Fruit polyphenols and their effects on neuronal signaling and behavior in senescence.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.   Consuming about 1 cup per day is the equivalent human portion that animal studies have suggested. Here’s a bonus tip, buy wild organic frozen blueberries. New research from South Dakota State University [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/1 722124810.htm] suggests that frozen blueberries deliver a bigger dose of disease-fighting antioxidants than fresh. These antioxidants come from compounds called anthocyanins, which give blueberries their purple hue. The ice crystals that form when the berries are frozen disrupt the structure of the plant tissue and make anthocyanins more available. The anthocyanin dye, which causes the dark blue color, crosses the blood-brain barrier to stimulate neurogenesis. [Page 61]   Humans with cognitive decline showed improvements after consuming blueberries daily.   Devore. E. E., Kang, J.H., Bretellen, M. M., Grodstein, F. A. (July 2012). “Dietary intakes of berries and flavonoids in relation to cognitive decline.” Neurology. 72(1):135-43. Doi: 10.1002/ana.23594. Epub 26 Apr 2012.   Joseph, J.A., Shukitt-Hale, B., Willis, L. M. (Sep 2009). “Grape juice, berries, and walnuts affect brain aging and behavior.” Journal of Nutrition. 139(9):1813S-7S. Doi: 10.3945/jn.109.108266. Epub 29 Jul 2099. Review.   Aside from increasing neurogenesis, blueberries allow better communication among neurons, something called signal transduction. [Page 62]   Studies have shown that blueberry extracts are as effective as fresh blueberries.[page 62] In most animal studies it’s the extract that is used. This makes daily blueberry intake possible for those who don’t have access to fresh blueberries. Life Extension makes a great blueberry extract product.   2) Omega 3s. Another neurogenesis superstar is the complex of omega-3 fatty acids, found in abundance in cold water fish, including wild Alaskin salmon, coho and sockeye salmon, black cod, sablefish, sardines, and herrings. Omega-3s have been shown to dramatically increase neurogenesis and BDNF Levels. [Page 62]   Neuroscience researcher Sandrine Thuret, Ph.D., of London’s Kings College, reported a 40% increase in neurogenesis by adding omega-3’s in Science Daily in 2007. Other studies have shown impressive results in neurogenesis, elevated BDNF levels, increased in brain size, and neuroprotective benefits from omega-3s.   Conklin, S.M., Gianaros, P.J., Brown, S.M., et al. (29 June 2007). “Long-chain omega-3 fatty acid intake is associated positively with corticolimbic gray matter volume in healthy adults.” Neuroscience Letters. 421(3):209-12   Beltz, B. S., Tlusty, M. F., Benton, J. L., Sandeman, D. C. (2007). “Omega-3 fatty acids up regulate adult neurogenesis.” Neurogenesis Letters.   Zainuddin, M. S. A., & Thuret, S. (2012). “Nutrition, adult and hippocampal neurogenesis and mental health.” British Medical Bulletien. 103, 1, p.89-114. DOI:10.1093/bmb/Ids021.   Our brains are made up of about 60% fat; this is where the term “fathead” came from. The next time someone calls you a fathead, say thank you. DHA, one of the most important of the omega-3s, constitutes about 30% of the brains cerebral cortex.   Jockers. D. (2012). “Is your brain getting enough of this nutrient?” NaturalNews.com. (11/05/2012).   When you consume high quality fats you are continuously rebuilding your brains’ cellular structure. Omega-3s are the highest quality fats for brain development.   3) Green Tea. Green tea contains polyphenols, the most powerful of which is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a type of catechin. Green tea’s polyphenols have been shown to increase neurogenesis, BDNF levels, and to have strong health benefits ranging from cancer prevention to fat loss, plus cardiovascular benefits, immunity improvement, and glucose reduction.   (Aug 2012). Molecular Nutrition & Food Research. 56(8):1292-303. doi: 10.1002/mnfr.201200035. Epub 13 Jun 2012.   Wang, Y., Li, M., Xu, X., Song, M., Tao, H., Bai, Y. “Green Tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) promises neural progenitor cell proliferation and sonic hedgehog pathway activation during adult hippocampal neurogenesis.”   Goepp, J. (Apr 2008). “New research on the benefits of green tea.” Life Extension.   Yoo, K.Y., Choi, J. H., Hwang, I. K., Lee, C. H., Lee, S. O., Han, S. M., Shin, H. C., Kang, I. J., Won, M. H. (July 2010). “Epigallocatechin-3-gallate increases cell proliferation and neuroblasts in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in adult mice.” Phytotherapy Research. 24(7):1065-70. doi: 10.1002/ptr.3083.   Green tea has clear cognitive benefits and even improves working memory, which is one of the most difficult functions to increase.   Borgwardt, S., Hammann, F., Scheffler, K., Kreuter, M., Drewe, J., Beglinger, C. (Nov 2012). “Neural effects of green tea extract on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 66(11):1187-92.   Look for extracts standardized to at least 40% polyphenols, or even better, 98% polyphenols with 75% catechin and 45% ECGC.   [Page 65]   Keep in mind that green tea does have caffeine, so ideally you want to have it before 2pm, any later may interfere with quality of sleep.   4. Circumin. Circumin provides the yellow color in the curry spice turmeric. It has strong neurogenic effects. In addition it is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. Aging populations who consume circumin show better cognitive performance.   Kim, S.K., Son, T. G., Park, H. R., Park, M., Kim, M. S., Kim, H. S., Chung, H. Y., Mattson, M. P., Lee, J. (23 May 2008). “Circumin stimulates proliferation of embryonic neural progenitor cells and neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus.” Journal of Biological Chemistry. 283(21):14497-505. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M708373200.
