Your liver is one of the most important organs inside of your body. The liver is responsible for fat loss, detoxification, energy levels and digestion. The liver has so many roles I’ve named it the soccer mom organ! One of the most important roles of the liver is its bile production for metabolism.  Of course you can get bloodwork done on the liver markers GGT, ALT, AST which are liver enzymes, and even an ultrasound, but I’m going to share the top 5 warning signs your feet present to you that are a huge red flag that your liver is failing. I am going to share with you 5 early warning signs of liver damage..

It’s estimated that 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. These individuals have what’s called insulin resistance. A better description is hyperinsulinemia. When you have chronically high levels of insulin, you are going to store fat and build disease. I’m going to share with you a 5 step protocol to reverse insulin resistance once and for all! Your first step is to replace insulin producing foods with foods that lower insulin. This leads us to looking at macronutrients. We have 3 macros, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. As you see on the chart, carbohydrates will produce the MOST insulin inside your body. The second method to reverse insulin resistance is eliminate snacking and practice time restricted feeding… The third way to reverse insulin resistance is with block fasting. The fourth way to reverse insulin resistance is to build lean muscle. The fifth way to reverse insulin resistance is to reduce your toxic load.

Today, I am blessed to have Pavel Stuchlik here with me. NOA|AON, also known as Pavel Stuchlik, with over 15 years of experience traveling the world and immersing himself in some of the most rigorous teachings, NOA has become an expert in transformation, self-realization and harmonious living.  Pavel emphasizes the profound impact of breath on life and awareness, viewing it as a gateway to controlling the conscious mind, reducing stress, and enhancing heart rate variability. He introduces the concept of "instant presence," a three-part practice combining breathwork, body awareness, and stillness, which helps anchor individuals in the present moment. By practicing techniques like six-second inhales and exhales, combined with a focus on bodily sensations, Pavel encourages a deeper connection between mind and body. He explains how breathwork can alter states of consciousness, calm the nervous system, and foster self-awareness. Pavel highlights the importance of learning from every situation in life, urging individuals to remain conscious of their choices and use breath as a powerful tool for self-regulation. Pavel emphasizes that the most valuable biohacks are often the simplest and free—such as light, air, and grounding—and that the key to true transformation is to "unhack" everything we've been conditioned to believe. We can unlock our natural psychic senses or spiritual gifts by reconnecting with our inner guidance. He advocates for questioning everything and using breathwork to tap into a deeper consciousness. Pavel believes in a holistic approach that balances physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, integrating these practices into his "System Reset" methodology, which merges biohacking with shamanic and spiritual wisdom. His teachings encourage a shift from rigid discipline to a more playful and intuitive approach to life, underpinned by listening to the inner whispers that guide us on our highest path. Listening to the end of the episode with Pavel is essential because it offers a powerful reflection on how breathwork, meditation, and intentional breaks from daily life can transform not just your inner state but your entire outlook on life. Pavel shares deep insights into surrendering to the present, reconnecting with purpose, and fostering a lifestyle prioritizing balance, creativity, and genuine connection. His personal experiences, like spending time in darkness and engaging in deep self-reflection, inspire a shift from burnout to living authentically in alignment with your highest self.

People treat symptoms like a game of Whac-A-Mole, trying to quickly “whack” away symptoms with medications, fad diets, surgeries, or other short-term fixes. These methods only address surface-level issues, leaving the root cause unchecked, which leads to recurring problems. Many of these recurring issues stem from chronic glucose and insulin spikes in the body. By addressing these spikes and becoming metabolically flexible, you can escape the Whac-A-Mole cycle of symptom-chasing and truly improve health. 5 Ways Being a Sugar Burner Leads to Disease and Weight Gain Chronically Elevated Levels of Insulin Increased Oxidative Stress Depletion of Your Mitochondria Brain Disorders Cancer Growth RESOURCES MENTIONED:  The Diabetes Method Program to reverse diabetes: http://www.diabetesmethod.com The Keto kamp Academy program + coaching with Ben Azadi: http://www.ketokampacademy.com 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MGMtuWpaOnDU_SQbowd29DLBgp76i3GQrvDeEg2Y0co/edit?usp=sharing

I talk a lot about keto and intermittent fasting for fat loss, but in reality when I went from being physically obese at 250 pounds and 34 percent body fat to 170 pounds and 6 percent body fat, my secret was physical activity in the form of walking… (show before and after photos) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qs45bojLbCXCQFOy2VtAUtUwwOPlXP9z?usp=sharing  Walking can be one of the best tools in your shed for serious fat loss. In this lesson, I’ll be sharing with you how walking helps you lose stubborn fat, other surprising benefits of walking, and what the studies say in regards to how many steps you should take each day. Additionally, I’ll be sharing with you some creative ways to use walking for faster results.  Let’s start with how lack of steps leads to the accumulation of fat, especially belly fat… First, we need to understand that we have an obesity problem here in the United States. Harvard is predicating by the year 2030, that 50 percent of the population will be obese! When we look at the average steps people get, we see it is very low at less than 3,000 steps each day. It’s not just the weight loss, it’s your overall health and longevity. The first step here in your protocol is to walk at the right times The second step here in your protocol is to create walking adaptations. The third step is to increase the intensity of your walking.

Today, I am blessed to have Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps here with me. Their personal and clinical experiences have taught them that midlife is a pivotal time in a woman’s life, often accompanied by unique challenges. They recognized a gap in specialized care for women over 40 and have made it their mission to fill it. While there's an abundance of health advice for women in their teens, 20s, and 30s, the messaging becomes unclear as women enter their 40s. Kristin and Maria believe that generalized health information isn’t sufficient—and in some cases, can even be harmful—for midlife women. Their goal is to empower women over 40 to take control of their health, ensuring that the next chapter of their lives is their best yet. Kristin and Maria emphasize that menopause is far more than just the loss of fertility and menstruation. They argue that menopause signifies a deeper metabolic change in the body that affects over 4,000 physiological processes, not just the commonly known symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. Even women without symptoms are impacted by hormonal shifts and need to address them proactively. Their work offers a comprehensive deep dive into hormone replacement therapy (HRT), debunking myths and urging women to take control of their health during this life stage. They advocate for personalized, multi-faceted health approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, emphasizing the importance of understanding hormonal changes. Kristin and Maria emphasize that many women are harming their bodies through excessive cardio, under-eating, and stress, perpetuating a cycle of catabolic damage. They highlight the importance of nourishment, stress management, sleep, and strength training for maintaining health, particularly as hormone levels decline with age. While optimizing hormones can help, it’s not a standalone solution; addressing the underlying stress is crucial for hormonal balance. They also discuss the need for a tailored approach to hormone therapy to not only alleviate symptoms but also reduce chronic disease risks, challenging the limited, symptom-focused perspective of mainstream menopause treatment. Tune in as Maria and Kristin emphasize that progesterone plays a significant role in women’s health; its effectiveness is tied to the presence of progesterone receptors, which fluctuate throughout the ovarian cycle and are mainly influenced by estradiol levels. They caution against relying solely on progesterone hormone replacement therapy, especially in perimenopausal women, where estrogen decline reduces the number of receptors, leading to symptoms like anxiety and mood dysregulation. They advocate for a more holistic approach, managing stress, balancing hormones, and incorporating oxytocin to ensure well-being and metabolic freedom.
