Eventually, he began to visualize his grades.  Where you feed energy will expand.  [09:00] How Going Out In Nature and Enjoying The Sun Will Benefit Your Health  Our brain loves patterns.  If you’re used to watching the news every night, the subconscious will incorporate it into your dreams.  Our body needs the earth. Dr. Porter recommends checking out Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20. All of our cells get power from the sun. There are more mitochondria in your eyes than in other places in the body.  Your body will interact with the garden, trees, grass, and the Earth.  Nature will work in making your brain well, not the news.  [21:30] Cortisol and Adrenaline Hijack the Brain; Plus, Stress Shrinks The Brain  We're either in our thriving brain, or we're in our surviving brain. There is no middle ground.  If you have a hard time with PTSD, you will be in survival mode all the time.  Our brains don’t know how to flip the switch. We need ways to recover; you can’t just keep going and going.  One stressful year shrinks the brain three-quarters of an inch.  Our subconscious controls 95% of our biology.  [29:10] About BrainTap: The Mobile App and Wearable Headset Build Your Brain Fitness  15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721   With BrainTap, you start to turn on neurotransmitters' production, which happens in the gut.  During a BrainTap, you're bathing in this biological soup in the proper physiological state. Everything that happens to you happens through you.  Light brings energy to the brain.  Our ears take 25,000 pieces of information every second, and your eyes are actually 30% of your hearing.  The retinal flashing will keep your brain awake during BrainTap.  [35:35] To Build Neuroplasticity, You Need To Challenge The Brain  BrainTap will stress the brain, but it’s fun stress.  When listening to one voice, you can still listen to your internal dialogue. The brain only processes first attention. If your first attention is on your internal dialogue, it doesn’t matter what someone else says.  With BrainTap, there will be a voice in the right ear. Then, they do the same thing with the left ear. After three minutes, your brain will synchronize.  In order to build that neuroplasticity, you need to challenge the brain.  [41:30] How BrainTap Will Help You Overcome Psychological Fears   An allergy is a phobic response to the immune system. During fear, we are overproducing white marker cells. Psychological fear is creating physiological destruction to our bodies. Your psychology affects your immune system, and your biggest brain is in your gut.  BrainTap will get your gut, heart, and brain to communicate.  Overall, BrainTap will provide your mind and body with all the benefits of meditation without the disciplined effort. [47:35] Improving Your HRV and Getting Better Sleep With BrainTap  When you use BrainTap, you are going to see your HRV skyrocket.  If you're always in sympathetic drive, you will never have a good heart rate variability.  Getting good sleep is all about unwinding the sensory perception.  If you are struggling with sleep, getting more parasympathetic will be essential.  Two biohacks are free: sleeping and drinking good water.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Patrick Porter’s Website: https://drpatrickporter.com Follow Dr. Patrick Porter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PatrickPorter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporter Awaken the Genius: Mind Technology for the 21st Century: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Genius-Mind-Technology-Century/dp/0963761188/benazadi-20 Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20 15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721 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 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Owen Hemsath and Kali Moynihan. Owen was told that he had Stage 4 Terminal Cancer that was inoperable and should get his affairs in order. Since that diagnosis Owen has been on a journey to put his cancer in PERMANENT remission and has thus far shrunk his tumors by 30%! Learn more about Owen here: http://beatcancerwithme.com. Kali was also diagnosed with Stage 4 Terminal Cancer. Learn more about Kali by following her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithcancer/. In this episode, Owen and Kali open up about their inspiring stories. They both speak about having large tumors removed from their chest and eventually being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Later, they chat about what it’s like to follow conventional medicine vs. changing your lifestyle through fasting and keto. Tune in as they talk about the journey to metabolic flexibility, finding people who believe in your recovery, and the importance of strategy when it comes to remission.  Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Kali decided to do her own research, take control of her health, and be her advocate. Kali found out about her stage 4 cancer two months after having a baby.  It all started during Covid; Kali had chest pain and difficulty breathing. After going to the emergency room, the doctors found a tumor the size of an orange.  The tumor had ruptured, causing immense pain.  Eventually, Kali had her diaphragm removed and replaced with mesh. Plus, the doctors stripped her pleural lining and took a little bit of her right lung.  [14:30] Owen Speaks About His Story and Also Getting Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer Owen had a grapefruit-sized tumor in his chest.  He had surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Later, Owen shrunk his tumor 30% by fasting and eating a plant-based keto diet.  Through lifestyle changes, Owen was in a therapeutic process, changing his body’s chemistry to eat cancer while awake and thriving.  Eventually, Owen was diagnosed with stage four cancer.  The doctors told Owen that there was no hope; every single scan got worse. Owen was told he would only live two to five more years.  Down the road, Owen read the book How To Starve Cancer; it changed his life. Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Starve-Cancer-Jane-McLelland/dp/0951951734/benazadi-20 [27:00] Surround Yourself With Survivors and People Who Believe In Your Recovery Is your goal to use the doctor’s medicine, or is your goal to overcome your disease?  Owen’s doctors told them there was no chance. So, why would he do what the doctors told him to do? Instead, Owen wanted to follow people who believed he could overcome his diagnosis.  Instead, you should find a community of survivors, not statistics from doctors. When you surround yourself with survivors, you will be in a healthier place.  [28:15] Resources To Learn From On Your Journey To Recovery  Owen and Kali learned a lot from Dr. Nasha. Check out her work here: https://www.drnasha.com Also, get the book The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Approach-Cancer-Integrating-Bio-Individualized/dp/1603586865/benazadi-20 After surgery, Kali had high inflammation. Kali started following the keto diet and fasting; her inflammation went down tremendously.  Owen recommends listening to Radical Remission: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Remission-Surviving-Cancer-Against/dp/0062268740/benazadi-20 Something that Owen learned is that different cancers react to proteins differently.  [36:15] Be Careful With CT Scans - They Will Increase Your Secondary Risks  Getting two and a half CT scans per year dramatically increases your chance of secondary cancers. Owen brought this up to his doctor; she said he wouldn’t live that long anyway.  When you test fasting and keto, you have to get a scan and see what it did; you have to be strategic.  Remember, whenever you get a scan, you are increasing secondary risks.  Owen says that you should get an MRI; that way, you don’t get any radiation.  When you fast, you’ll be in deep autophagy. You have to know why you are doing these things.  Owen recommends Rayus: https://rayusradiology.com. [43:00] The Journey To Metabolic Flexibility Will Be Challenging - Remember Your ‘Why’  Kali is metabolically flexible.  Metabolic flexibility is complex, and it is not an easy path to navigate.  Finding health is a journey that you have to change all the time. If you’re struggling to commit to keto, just remember how good you feel when you do it.  Overall, your body can heal itself, and you can live a long and healthy life.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Heal With Cancer: https://www.healwithcancer.com Beat Cancer With Me: https://shor.by/CfvH Follow Beat Cancer With Me  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beatcancerwithme/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/owensjourneytoremission Twitter: https://twitter.com/owenvideo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEgk0lDf8rD15YbK2TJ19Cw Follow Heal With Cancer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithcancer/ How To Starve Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/How-Starve-Cancer-Jane-McLelland/dp/0951951734/benazadi-20 Dr. Nasha: https://www.drnasha.com The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Approach-Cancer-Integrating-Bio-Individualized/dp/1603586865/benazadi-20 Radical Remission: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Remission-Surviving-Cancer-Against/dp/0062268740/benazadi-20 Rayus: https://rayusradiology.com 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 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022. Register your free spot here: https://kka.mykajabi.com/keto-challenge [01:40] About Vinnie Tortorich In Hollywood, Vinnie helped actors and actresses lose weight. Movie companies need their starlets to look a certain way. Vinnie would receive the call to get people into shape in three weeks. You can’t run off fourteen months of bad behavior. Instead, weight loss is all about diet. Vinnie knew that meat is a great way to lose weight, decrease inflammation, and feel better overall. Plus, meat is heart-healthy. Vinnie wrote the book Fitness Confidential; he didn’t want to put the word ketosis in the book. He knew the medical community would say he was trying to kill people.  [06:45] Why Vinnie Never Used The Word “Keto” In 2013, Vinnie heard about net carbs. It doesn’t work! If it worked, Vinnie would tell people to do it. Vinnie gives away his information for free – he has never charged for his information. So, why would he lie to anyone? Vinnie owns the rights to NSNG (no sugars, no grains). No one is certifying the word “keto.” You can take a bowl of sugar, wrap it up, and say it’s keto-certified. In reality, it’s not keto-certified because it’s not good for you. [12:15] Why Insulin Is Important If insulin is so bad, then why do people need it to live? Insulin is a hormone that we need to live. All hormones control mechanisms in our bodies. Insulin does a lot of things. It gets released to go down and cover sugar in our liver. When you eat a piece of fruit, the sugar gets to your liver. Then, the insulin will convert sugar into glucose and stores it around your body. In order to maintain homeostasis, we only have a couple of teaspoons in our blood. Sugar can’t go anywhere. So, our body will store it as fat though long-chain triglycerides. The long-chain triglycerides take a lot of work to break it down. When we eat too many carbs, you are getting an insulin load. It makes us insulin resistant. Then, we can end up type 2 diabetes. The key is to eat foods that are insulin friendly. [18:25] Can Fat Make You Fat? Yes, fat can you make you fat if you eat it in excess. However, fats aren’t going to make you eat in excess. For example, you can eat a whole bag of corn chips. Once you start eating them, you can’t stop. People who are obese can’t stop eating corn chips. While on the other hand, if you went to steakhouse, and you had a giant fatty steak. When you take the last bite and they bring you a second steak, you would bag it up and take it home. Why is that? With the Doritos, the hormones are pouring out. With the meat, you feel satiated. You are going to feel full on fatty things vs. carbs. [27:50] Drinking Too Much Heavy Cream Vinnie tells a story about one of his clients, Gabriella, who stopped losing weight. She had another thirty pounds to go. Gabriella would drink coffee with heavy cream in the morning and eggs. She explains the rest of her diet and it was all perfect. However, Gabriella was actually drinking 18 oz of heavy cream every morning. Even when you have too much fat, you may not get fat. However, it may prevent you from losing weight. [31:55] What’s Wrong With Calories In and Calories Out Exercise more and eat less. That’s challenging to do, and it doesn’t even work! Thirty minutes on treadmill, you might not even burn a bag of M&M’s. You can’t run off a bag of M&M’s. How are you going to burn off snacks and alcohol? If you run a car out of gas, you can’t expect it to keep running. You can’t run your body out of energy and think it’s going to keep running. Athletes can bonk in the middle of a race. So, how do you get your body fat-adapted? Once your body learns how to use fat as energy, it will do it right away. [37:50] The Inspiration behind FAT: A Documentary Vinnie has been doing a podcast for nine years about low carb. Everyone told Vinnie that he needs a movie. However, he didn’t have the money to make it. So, Vinnie did crowdfunding for the movie. He got over $260,000 to make the movie. On day two of FAT: A Documentary on iTunes, they were soaring up the charts. The next day, FAT: A Documentary was number one on iTunes. When they filmed the first movie, there was too much footage. During COVID, Vinnie used the extra footage to make Fat 2. Bonus! Vinnie is also working on part three. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Morley Robbins. He is the creator and founder of The Root Cause Protocol and the Magnesium Advocacy Group. Morley received his BA in Biology from Denison University in Ohio and holds an MBA from George Washington University in healthcare administration. Morley has trained in wellness coaching, nutritional counseling, and functional diagnostic nutrition. He is also known as the Magnesium Man due to his extensive research into and understanding of magnesium’s role in the body. Morley’s research saw him deciphering the intricate relationship between magnesium, iron, copper, and calcium as a way to free ourselves from illness and dis-ease. As a certified health coach with expertise in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), Morley has performed thousands of RCP one-on-one consultations, helping people feel better by getting to the root cause of their symptoms.  In this episode, Morley talks about becoming obsessed with copper in the mitochondria. He dives into what you need to know about the mitochondria and how to ensure you’re getting excellent mitochondria function. Then, Morley digs deep into copper; he explains precisely why you need more copper in your diet, and the reason copper is critical for anyone following a ketogenic lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about the problem with ascorbic acid and which three things will improve your copper levels.  Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

When the general is not around, foot soldiers go crazy. This is exactly what happens inside our bodies.  [06:10] What You Need To Know About Mitochondria In The Human Body We've been trained to think of the mitochondria as an energy furnace. People think that the mitochondria just put out energy.  There are 40 quadrillion mitochondria in our body. The average cell has about 500 mitochondria. The average liver cell has 2,000, kidney cells have 4,000, heart cells have 10,000, and a mature egg in a woman's body has 600,000 mitochondria.  The cells that are primarily relied upon for survival have the most mitochondria.  Morley likes to say, “ignore the enemies; ignite the energy.”  Morley has learned that if you don't have copper in your diet and don't have retinol to make copper bioavailable, you're not getting excellent mitochondria function. If mitochondria cannot produce energy, they cannot recycle iron.  [21:30] Ferritin In The Body and The Reason You Need Copper To Stay Healthy  There are four different forms of ferritin in the body.  There are two principal flavors: heavy chain and light chain. Whenever you see the phrase heavy chain, it means copper is involved.  The light chain is expressed most extensively in the liver. The heavy chain is expressed chiefly in the heart.  There is also serum ferritin. Many people believe that ferritin in the blood accurately reflects what's happening inside cells. However, when you get serum ferritin high, you toxify the liver.   When you suppress copper in an animal's diet, iron will rip up in the liver. [32:20] We Need To Make 2.5 Million Red Blood Cells Every Single Second  70% of the iron in the body is in hemoglobin. There's a recycling system for iron called the reticular endothelial system.  Every second of every day, we need to make 2.5 million red blood cells. In 24 hours, we make 2 trillion red blood cells. It only takes 24 milligrams of iron to support that level of production.  [39:50] The Reason You Need More Cooper on A Ketogenic Diet  if you ferment sugar without oxygen, you get two units of energy.  If you oxidize the sugar, you're going to get around 34. If you oxidize fat, you’ll get 140 units of energy.  90% of the energy comes out of the mitochondria. It does not take a lot of copper to run our body; copper creates energy.  If you're going to have a keto diet, you better have a healthy supply of copper. The metabolism of fats is copper-dependent.  You cannot digest copper in your diet if you don't have fat in your diet.  [48:10] Ascorbic Acid Is Destroying The Bioavailability of Copper  Ascorbic acid is not the whole food vitamin C complex. Ascorbic acid is a prooxidant, whereas vitamin C molecule complex is an antioxidant.  Ascorbic acid blocks the absorption of copper.  You need to know that ascorbic acid, vitamin D, and zinc destroy the bioavailability of copper.  When you destroy the bioavailability of copper, iron rises in the tissue.  [57:40] How You Can Get More Copper Into Your Body Through Diet  We need to lower the iron footprint in our bodies and increase the copper footprint. You need a mineral base in your water and in your foods.  Also, eat more real food that is organically grown. Plus, more fat will be essential.  Get more cooper from bee pollen, real vitamin C, and grass-fed beef liver.  There is much more beta carotene in the grass than in oranges and carrots.  Also, to deal with stress, you need to have more magnesium in your diet.

Kevin was devastated about his diagnosis.  At the time, Kevin had gut health issues, poor energy, wasn’t sleeping well, and had high stress.  So, Kevin knew he had to address everything to fix his health. Finally, Kevin got the right plan for his health and bones.  [06:10] The Answer To Your Health Problems Won’t Come From The Pharmacy  Kevin always thought that the answer to his health problems would come from a pharmacy or a doctor.  Throughout his life, Kevin took sleeping pills, antidepressants, antibiotics, and countless other medications to help address the signs and symptoms of his condition.  However, he never really received a complete resolution of those issues because he was just covering up the cause. Kevin just wanted to divest himself from thinking that the solution to his health was in a pill.  [09:20] The Importance of Gut Health For Your Overall Health Your body and your bones are like plants. To grow, they need nutrients and the right conditions. Most people focus on nutrients like salads and smoothies. They’re not considering the soil. Our gut is like the soil; it is where we absorb almost everything.  To absorb anything, you need roots in your soil.  Our roots are called villi. They're these tiny little hairlike projections that cover our small intestine. The villi will shuttle nutrients into your bloodstream so they can travel where they are needed in your body.  When you have poor digestion, you won’t be able to break down food properly.  [13:45] Gut Health: Testing Your Stomach Acid and Other Options  First, figure out where your stomach acid is; there are a few different tests that you can do.  If you have low stomach acid, you can supplement with betaine HCl. You could also use some digestive enzymes to help break down your food.  You need a digestive stool test to understand what is going on inside your microbiome.  Then, you will work with a practitioner to build a protocol.  Check out Gut Zoomer: https://www.vibrant-wellness.com/tests/gut-zoomer/ [15:50] Do I Have To Stop Drinking Coffee If I Have Gut Issues? Do I have to stop drinking coffee? The answer is no. The big concern is caffeine when it comes to coffee. Caffeine is going to vary slightly to increase calcium excretion. Most people don’t need to avoid coffee. Instead, drink less.  If you've got caffeine intakes greater than 300 milligrams a day, calcium excreted in the urine will increase.  [17:30] When Should I Get My First Bone Density Scan?  The earlier, the better when it comes to getting your first bone density scan.  Around 30 or 40 would be an excellent time to get your first scan. Get a scan now so you can understand where you are at. Maybe you will find out something that you can start addressing now. You can build bone strength at any age. It just gets more challenging as you get older.  [22:30] Finding A Functional Medicine Practitioner For Postmenopausal Women Primary osteoporosis is typically related to the decrease in estrogen in postmenopausal women. When estrogen levels decrease as they do during menopause, it's going to cause an increase in the activity level of cells that break down bone.  You need to have conversations with a functional medicine practitioner or a naturopathic physician to determine if hormones will be right for you.  Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could be the right choice.  [28:00] Spinach and Kale Could Be Causing Digestive Problems  Oxalates are an antinutrient. Antinutrients can cause problems for people who have digestive issues. People eat a lot of spinach. If you can’t break down the oxalates, you will have some issues.  Instead, you should eat arugula; it is super low in oxalates.  [30:10] Why Kevin Is A Massive Fan of Coconut Oil Coconut oil is good for energy, weight, brain function, heart health, memory, skin, hair, and teeth.  Coconut oil can be helpful in the protection against bone loss. Plus, it’s great because it is full of MCT; they go straight to the liver. Lastly, coconut oil has antimicrobial effects.   [37:40] The Importance of Having A Strategy When It Comes To Bone Health If you rely on a single supplement, you may lose more bone because you didn’t have a strategy. Kevin will develop a strategy that addresses root cause issues. You have to get to the underlying issue!  Learn about Bone Coach: https://bonecoach.com/ There’s a free masterclass that you can check out from Bone Coach.

She's been a nurse practitioner for 20+ years, and is a two-time TEDx speaker. Her viral TEDx Talk: Intermittent Fasting: Transformative Technique has been viewed nearly 5.5 million times in less than 9 months. She has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW and in Medium and Entrepreneur. She's also the host of Everyday Wellness podcast, which was listed as "20 Podcasts That Will Help You Grow in 2020"  by Entrepreneur magazine.  Why Cynthia Loves Fasting For Women  If you do nothing else, eat less often. It can impact your metabolic health and is profoundly beneficial in many ways. Women have to fast differently; they are governed by fluctuating levels of hormones, at least until menopause. Cynthia is all about empowering you to embrace the typical way that your body is designed to thrive. Many people are looking to change the narrative about health and wellness. You don't have to spend $5,000 a year on supplements! Instead, it would help if you were the driver of change in your own life. Fasting is free, and it's one of the best tools to change your health.  Hormone Differences Depending on Your Cycle If you're a lean young woman, you want to be conservative with your fasting window because you just don't have a lot of extra stored fat to lose. Cycling women are prone to insulin resistance or have insulin resistance. Eating less often really can be nicely aligned with a women's menstrual cycle. The first two weeks of the menstrual cycle can be a time where a woman pushes their workouts. Along with that, you can push the fasting window. As you make the transition into the second half of your menstrual cycle, this is the time to do yoga, connect with nature, and do less intense forms of exercise. This is not the time to do an extended fast. Once you start bleeding, you can go back to your regular schedule. During menopause, if women dial in on the lifestyle choices, they have tremendous success. The Mistakes You Are Making With Fasting The first mistake people make is not getting enough sleep. If you are not sleeping throughout the night, then do not start fasting. Instead, you need to figure out why you are not sleeping. Next, you are being too restrictive with your fasts. We need to hit our proteins, fats, and non-starchy carbohydrates. However, many people are too rigid. It would help if you believed in the value of a refeeding day. Depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, maybe it's time to add some root vegetables or squash. Cynthia broke her fast early today because she did a heavy lift day. Lean into what your body is telling you! Lastly, many people are exercising too much. Cynthia says you need to exercise smarter, not harder. Why Cynthia Loves Ketosis Cynthia loves the ability to have sustained energy and mental clarity. When you're in ketosis, you have more control than you thought you did. After all those years of being hangry and having energy slumps, you can finally take control back. In ketosis, people feel so much better. Cynthia loves the empowerment people feel during ketosis. Ketosis is all about harnessing how our bodies are intrinsically designed to thrive. Plus, you can feel the difference when you are in ketosis; it's a total game-changer for your health.  What We Talked About: [12:10] The affirmation that will change your life [17:30] Tip of the Day from Alina [19:20] About Cynthia Thurlow   [27:00] Why Cynthia loves fasting for women [30:00] Hormone differences depending on your cycle [43:20] Mistakes you are making with fasting [47:20] How much protein Cynthia aims for daily [51:30] Why Cynthia loves ketosis   [57:00] Question and Answers  Resources from this episode:  Check out Cynthia Thurlow’s website: https://cynthiathurlow.com Follow Cynthia Thurlow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cynthia_thurlow_/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CHTWellness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-thurlow-50395a9/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cynthiathurlow Pre-order Intermittent Fasting Transformation: The 45-Day Program for Women to Lose Stubborn Weight, Improve Hormonal Health, and Slow Aging: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593419316?/benazadi-20 Listen to Cynthia Thurlow | Fasting Mistakes You Should Stop Making Today, Benefits of a Continuous Glucose Monitor & More KKP: 313: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cynthia-thurlow-fasting-mistakes-you-should-stop-making/id1470779784?i=1000536283492&l=nb Listen to Cynthia Thurlow, Breakfast Is The Dumbest Meal of The Day, We Are Designed For Fasting, Tips For Achieving Youthful Skin - KKP: 153: https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1470779784/the-keto-kamp-podcast-with-ben-azadi/cynthia-thurlow-breakfast-is-the-dumbest-meal-of-the-day-we-are-designed-for-fasting-tips-for-achieving-youthful-skin-kkp-153 Listen to Cynthia Thurlow | Intermittent Fasting Tips to Help Your Body Heal KKP: 266: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-keto-kamp-podcast-with-ben-887420/episodes/cynthia-thurlow-intermittent-f-92295228 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 Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so ▸clubhouse | @thebenazadi Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

Lisa wasn’t built to run; instead, she decided she wanted to become a runner. In the beginning, Lisa suffered. However, she got good enough to overcome the adversity.  [07:15] Lisa Was In An Abusive Relationship and Discovered Ultramarathon Running Lisa was in an abusive relationship in her 20s.  Her relationship had a massive impact on her.  Lisa felt hopeless because she was constantly being verbally abused.  Eventually, Lisa recovered from her relationship and got into ultramarathon running.  The comradeship, friendship, and positivity kept her coming back to ultramarathons.  [18:10] What To Do If You’re Going Through A Traumatic Situation You need to take control of some aspect of the crisis you're going through.  The amygdala is a very primitive part of the brain that does this fight or flight response. Your amygdala will takeover during something traumatic.  So, you need to get control of your breath.  The exhale will be critical; the exhale tells your body that it is not in danger. In fight or flight, your prefrontal cortex turns off.  Next, look at what you can control.  [23:35] Relentless: How A Mother and Daughter Defied The Odds Six years ago, Lisa’s mom had a massive aneurysm. When they got to the doctor, they said she only had a migraine.  After six hours, Lisa’s mom got a CT scan; they found out a massive vessel had burst.  At that moment, they didn’t think she would survive. An air ambulance took twelve hours to arrive.  To stay calm, Lisa figured out what she could be in control of during this situation.  Lisa’s mom was in and out of a coma for three weeks. Eventually, she stabilized, and she survived.  The book Relentless is a mindset book; it’s the mindset that it takes to overcome massive obstacles. The book can be applied in any situation. [44:00] Fasting and Ketones To Help Overcome Health Struggles  Lisa’s mom would eat one meal a day. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t fast for an entire day.  Exogenous ketones helped her stay in ketosis. Lowering free radicals and inflammation is a huge benefit. Ketones cannot be used as fuel for cancer.  Plus, Lisa would give her mom PerfectAmino: https://bodyhealth.com/products/perfectamino-special-3-pack [54:00] How To Talk To Doctors When They Don’t Listen  There are many limitations in the medical system. You have to advocate, and you have to push; don’t sit there and be polite.  We are taught that doctors are the authority figure, and we need to do what they say. Remember, there are commercial interests behind the medical system. Do your own research.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Lisa’s Website: https://www.lisatamati.com/ Listen to Pushing The Limits Podcast: https://www.lisatamati.com/podcast-back-catalogue/ Read Lisa’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Lisa-Tamati/e/B002ZH3VKC%3F/benazadi-20 Follow Lisa Tamati YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LisaTamatiJewellery/featured Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisatamati/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisatamati PerfectAmino: https://bodyhealth.com/products/perfectamino-special-3-pack?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Stephen Sideroff. Dr. Stephen Sideroff is an internationally recognized expert in resilience, optimal performance, addiction, neurofeedback, and alternative approaches to stress and mental health. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, with a joint appointment in the Department of Rheumatology at UCLA’s School of Medicine, as well as the Director of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics. For over 40 years, Dr. Sideroff has been passionate about studying and understanding resilience and optimal performance. He has developed and established innovative models of behavior and treatment approaches for restoring physical, emotional, and mental balance and effectiveness in North America, Europe, and Asia. In this episode, Dr. Sideroff talks about why we decided to dedicate his life to resilience. Unfortunately, many people have great resistance to managing their stress. That’s why Dr. Sideroff discusses the importance of keeping your nervous system in a good place, how your childhood environment plays a role in your resilience, and unpacking the unconscious to face difficult feelings. Tune in as we dive into Dr. Sideroff’s Resilience Assessment Booklet and how to measure a critical aspect of your physiology.  ng May 9th 2022.

He was interested in finding the brain's connections, so he started a career as a brain researcher.  Eventually, he started doing stress management workshops for organizations and corporations. After the workshops, people felt inspired to make changes in their lives. A few months later, very few people actually followed through with those changes. Down the road, Dr. Sideroff began to identify why we have great resistance to managing our stress.  [05:45] Keeping The Nervous System In A Good Place Through Resilience  When we think about resilience, we think about the ability to bounce back and recover after a stressful event.  If you view the world as dangerous, you expect a problem to arise.  When you anticipate danger, your body mobilizes for that danger.  If you're continually activating your nervous system in preparation for danger, you're not allowing your body to recover fully. The ability to bounce back is part of resilience.  [09:40] How The Environment of Our Childhood Will Affect Our Resilience  Primitive Gestalt patterns are how our brain develops throughout childhood based on the lessons of our childhood environment.  Our brain literally forms its circuitry based on those childhood lessons. We adapt to our childhood environment. Then our adaptation gets locked in. If our childhood was dangerous, we as adults continue to think the world is just as dangerous. Resilience is about being able to think outside the box and adapt to our current environment.  Many of the consequences of our childhood are not something that we're always conscious about. [14:50] Unpacking The Unconscious To Live A Happier Life The first step in unpacking the unconscious is a willingness to face complicated feelings, emotions, and issues.  Next, you have to be accepting of whatever emotions you have. You can love your mother and father yet still be angry at them. Living a happier and healthier life is about a willingness to grow up. [20:50] The First Three Pillars From The Path: Mastering the Nine Pillars of Resilience and Success What is the most crucial relationship that you have? It’s the relationship with yourself.  Consider these questions: Are you critical and judgmental of yourself?  Do you put yourself down?  Are you loving, accepting, and compassionate toward yourself?  The first pillar is all about how you treat yourself and then comparing that to the healthy or ideal way of treating yourself. You can do this by becoming consciously aware of your thoughts.  The second pillar is your relationship with others. Are you able to tell the difference between healthy and toxic relationships?  The third pillar is a relationship with something more significant; this extends to the community at large.  [33:40] Autonomic Dysregulation Syndrome and The Process of Aging  Dr. Sideroff has proposed an actual diagnostic code which he calls autonomic dysregulation syndrome.  70 to 80% of visits to the doctor's office result from this autonomic dysregulation syndrome.  It underlies whether you have headaches, high blood pressure, or autoimmune disease.  We now have direct evidence that stress speeds up the aging process.  All illness is simply an expression of the aging process.  Luckily, resilience is one way of slowing down the aging process.  [38:45] Get The Resilience Assessment Booklet From Dr. Stephen Sideroff  Here’s a link to The Resilience Assessment Booklet: https://drstephensideroff.com/resilience-assessment-booklet-395/ Dr. Sideroff has created a comprehensive model for living in balance and health.  His assessment booklet identifies the nine components of his model and gives a brief and readily understood description of these nine elements of a foundation for resilience.  It then presents a 40 item questionnaire and self-scoring profile that allows you to gauge your areas of strength along with those areas needing more significant development. [43:45] The Connection Between Heart Rate Variability and Gratitude Your heart rate is never on a constant level.  If it is constant, that’s a sign that you are unhealthy.  You want to have a heart rate change in a very systematic way. Heart rate variability links your cardiovascular system, nervous system, respiratory system, and emotions.  As you breathe in, your heart rate speeds up because you're activating the sympathetic branch of your nervous system. One of the things that facilitate optimal heart rate variability is gratitude. AND MUCH MORE!
