#1012 5 SHOCKING Reasons You’re Not Burning Belly Fat (And What Doctors Miss) with Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Lesya Holzapfel. She is the CEO and Founder of BSB Tribe and Eat. Be Fit. Explore. She is also the host of the Fit Moms Squad Podcast. Her mission is to share keto holistically and help women feel more confident.  As a teen, Lesya struggled to deal with her weight. This led her to choose being a dietitian as a major in college, but in the end, she was disappointed because she did not want to believe the things she was taught. After all the desperate attempts, she still couldn't lose weight no matter what she was doing.  A friend of hers doing keto and having great results inspired her to try it. That’s where keto comes into her life. After going back and forth on keto because of her pregnancies, she finally has resolved to integrate it into her lifestyle. She began doing clean keto, intermittent fasting and focusing on proteins. Her lifestyle change produced a great outcome, as she lost 60 pounds in just eight months. Her journey of losing weight is an inspiration for many women experiencing the same she had.  In this episode, Lesya speaks about clean and dirty keto and the foods you need to avoid. The positive results you gain in strategically throwing carbs.  Lesya reveals the truth about doing keto in longer terms. She talks about the benefits of intermittent fasting based on your needs. Tune in as we chat about the dirty vs clean keto, investing in your health, carb cycling, intermittent fasting, and ways to break your weight loss stall. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

Do organic if possible. -       True keto foods will not be marketed as keto foods. -       Clean keto is just about focusing on whole real foods. [22:18] Investing in Health Will Be Your Best Asset: Start Now! -       Health is not an expense. It's an investment. -       Sadly, health is the last thing that many people invest in. -       Organic food, grass, and all that are more expensive; however, you'll save money in the long run since you eat less. -       Most food at restaurants is going to be served with inflammatory oils. -       The most valuable thing you can invest in is your health. [25:14] How Can you Benefit from Intermittent Fasting Based on Your Needs? -       Time-restricted eating and a three-hour bedtime window are recommended for fully healthy women. -       Keep the meals between an eight to 10-hour window. -        If it's someone with cortisol or adrenal issues, we must be careful with too much fasting. -       We are all fasting. We just don't do it consciously. [28:15] Carb Cycling: Throw Your Carbs Strategically and Gain Positive Outcome -       While keto is a good stress reliever in the short term, it is bad if you are already stressed out. -       Carbs help decrease cortisol and increase serotonin. -        Not all carbs are good. Complex carbs support our body. -       You can travel and enjoy food, and it doesn't mean you have to eat all the crap all day. Just be strategic. -       Having extra healthy carbs around workouts could be a great idea if you feel tired. [38:28] Does Long-Term Keto Work Really? Find Out the Reality of It -       It’s about bio-individuality and personalization -       Some women are not dealing with all this chronic stress that other women are. -       You can’t know if a person is always doing carnivore 24/7. You can’t determine one is healthy just by looking at them. -       Everyone’s body is different, and we change based on our lifestyle. -       Don't believe everything you've seen on social media. [41:58] What Are Some Ways to Break Weight Loss Stall? -       Lesya does not let her clients tell her they've hit a stall unless they have for at least three weeks in a row and don’t feel better. -       She has a step-by-step formula that she teaches in her program. -        Sleep is the most missed thing regarding weight loss stalls. -       Look at the basic causes: food, stress, and sleep. -       Eating normal macros daily, fasting for 24 hours, and then increasing carbs the next day works.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Marek Doyle. He has spent the last 17 years developing a model of individualized nutrition based on data from over 3,000 individual outcomes, 11,000 test findings, and significant utilization of the scientific literature. Marek is a functional nutritional therapist. In addition to his Academy training course for practitioners and enthusiasts in London, England, Marek offers one-on-one consultations for customers. He holds a Master of Science degree in Personalized Nutrition.  Marek has always greatly respected and fascinated with the human body. He was always driven to nutritional therapy since it is the most fundamental aspect in impacting human biochemistry, and he has spent almost two decades improving his methods. Marek has an MSc in Personalized Nutrition (CNELM/Middlesex Uni), as well as a CertHE in Nutritional Medicine, a Diploma in Allergy and Environmental Therapy (BIAET) and a Diploma in Advanced Nutrition for Optimal Health (GBF/BCMA).  His viewpoint is shaped by everything that can enable him to precisely pinpoint each person's major challenges and predict the result of any given option. It is shaped less by exact answers and more by asking the right questions, which are formed from his personal experiences, combining the mechanical knowledge taken from the scientific literature with the wisdom embedded in traditional healing systems, and by making observations gleaned from working directly with thousands of people. In this episode, Marek speaks about how our bodies can repair themselves so long as you identify the hurdles that prevent it from happening, the flaws of modern weight loss methods, the pros and cons of the ketogenic diet, how the mitochondria work under stress, and things you need to remember before going on a diet.

Finding out what that obstacle is is the key to overcoming certain health issues. Once these obstacles are taken away, everything becomes much easier for an individual. These interferences aren’t easy to identify or solve, which is why it is up to everybody to identify what they are. [06:28] The Flaws of Popular Weight Loss Methods Many influencers, nutritionists, and dieticians claim that energy balance is the only thing you’ll need to lose body fat. Calories in and out are a big deal; however, both can change. This concept is entirely dependent on the body not changing its energy usage all day which makes it very flawed. The calorie concept is deceptive because it works short-term for weight loss but not fat loss. There is a massive difference between these two. [12:00] The Pros and Cons of the Keto Diet Two camps are relevant to this diet. The first one is the people who preach that it’s a revolution, and the other is the ones who oppose it due to their belief in its health risks. There is a lot of misconception that still exists about the Keto Diet. One of the most anti-inflammatory interventions available is the Ketogenic Diet. [24:47] What the Mitochondria Does When You Are Stressed There are three different types of stress: Mental and Emotional Stress, Physical Stress, and Chemical Stress. Being under any of these stresses will cause the Mitochondria to generate a ton of oxidative stress. The only thing greater than the human body’s capability to handle stress is how far you can push it until it eventually fails. Oxidative stress due to the overworking of the Mitochondria will cause certain problems in the human body. [40:44] Things You Must Consider Before Trying Certain Diets       There are many moving parts in the human body, making a perfect diet unrealistic.       Doing certain diets and fasting is fine; however, you must consider your status and other options first.       Stress, Immunocompromised bodies, your home’s condition, and most importantly, your current health condition are some of the few things you need to be mindful of before starting a diet that will massively affect your body.   It’s always a matter of identifying the big stressors in your life.

Today, I am blessed to have Spencer Feldman here with me. Spencer is the founder of www.Remedylink.com — where for the last 20 years, he has been formulating and manufacturing detoxification products for doctors and their patients. His company specializes in helping support your body’s natural responses to heavy metal toxins.  His background in Holistic Health and Chelation Therapy and passion for detoxification allows Spencer to do what he loves every day- make products that allow real detoxification to happen. Being the longest-running Suppository Company in the United States, Spencer has shared his passion for health for over 20 years with products that represent true craftsmanship and commitment to quality.  Spencer is now in his 50s and he lives with his partner completely off-grid on his 100-acre farm where he spends his time tending his orchard and garden while continuing to design new products to help detoxify people.  In this episode of Keto Kamp featuring guest Spencer Feldman, we deeply dive into the long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines and the presence of spike proteins in the bloodstream. Spencer sheds light on the potential sources of these proteins and the need to address their continuous production within the body. We also explore whether spike proteins can be transferred from vaccine recipients to non-recipients through intimacy and the reported health implications.  Additionally, Spencer speaks about the influence of environmental factors on human behavior, drawing parallels to a study involving rodents in an enclosed environment. We discover how proteolytic enzymes, cyclodextrins, and lysosomes can be harnessed to break down harmful proteins and genetic material, ultimately optimizing our health. The conversation culminates in discussing digestion, fasting, kidney health, and protein intake, providing valuable insights for overall wellness. Join us on this enlightening journey as we uncover the secrets behind these vital health topics.

[04:35] Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 Vaccines & Spike Proteins Researchers have identified the presence of spike proteins in the bloodstreams of individuals six months after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. This finding raises questions about the source of these proteins and the body's ability to break them down or sequester them. One possibility is that these proteins are continuously produced due to a reservoir of viral infection in the body that was never fully eliminated. However, this scenario may not apply to most individuals, as typically, dormant infections only re-emerge when the immune system is weakened. Another potential explanation involves reverse transcriptase, where foreign genetic material from the vaccine may have integrated into the recipient's DNA. While this can be problematic, it doesn't necessarily lead to an increase in spike proteins unless the integrated genetic material affects actively expressed genes. Regardless of the source, addressing the presence of these spike proteins is crucial. However, a more comprehensive approach is needed to understand how to manage foreign genetic material and prevent the ongoing production of these toxins. [17:25] Can Spike Proteins Be Transferred from COVID Vaccine Recipients to Non-Recipients Through Intimacy? The theoretical possibility of individuals who did not receive a COVID vaccine acquiring spike proteins is a complex issue. The potential transfer of these proteins or foreign genetic material may occur through sexual activity with someone who received the COVID vaccine.  Reports of menstrual irregularities, blood clots, hemorrhages, and even miscarriages in individuals who were intimate with vaccinated partners suggest the need for further investigation into these possible connections. [21:20] The Influence of Environmental Factors on Human Behavior Spencer references a study involving rodents placed in an enclosed environment with an abundant food supply. As the rodent colony grew and outstripped its food source, various behaviors emerged, including increased homosexuality, infanticide, and murder, all contributing to a population decline. Spencer touches on the impact of environmental chemicals, such as Atrazine, which are known to affect gender identity and behavior. These chemicals are suggested to have contributed to changes in human behavior and choice, drawing parallels to the rodent study. Human choices and cultural shifts may be influenced by external factors that affect behavior, similar to how genetics and environmental influences affect rodents' choices and population dynamics. [35:00] Breaking Down Harmful Proteins and Genetic Material Spencer touches on the use of proteolytic enzymes, such as nattokinase, to break down spike proteins. These enzymes play a crucial role in addressing the presence of harmful proteins in the body. Cyclodextrins can effectively bind to prion fragments, helping to reduce their impact and minimize their spike effects. Enzymes, particularly pancreatic ribonuclease, have the potential to break down foreign genetic material. This approach may support the body in breaking down external genetic material, even if it's highly stable. Lysosomes, organelles within cells, are responsible for breaking down used proteins and certain toxins. Fasting can help clean up lysosomes, allowing them to function more efficiently in recycling and removing accumulated waste from the cells. [37:30] Cleaning Lysosomes and Securing Your Health Cyclodextrins are a powerful way to clean out lysosomes, even more effective than fasting, and can reach places that fasting cannot access. Cleaning out lysosomes using cyclodextrins creates space for other substances to be sequestered, such as foreign genetic material, which might otherwise continue to cause issues. [43:05] Unlocking the Link Between Spike Proteins and Allergies Spike proteins in the body can lead to various immune dysfunction reactions, including allergies, which can affect a wide range of tissues and systems. Allergies are often histamine-mediated reactions, and they can manifest in ways beyond the common symptoms like skin itching, watery eyes, or sneezing. Chronic conditions may have an allergic component, such as plaque in arteries or irritable bladder. Chronic allergic responses can lead to increased levels of immunoglobulins, which are responsible for targeting toxins and infections. The balance between immunoglobulins and albumin in the blood can influence overall health. Higher levels of albumin in the blood are associated with better health, longevity, intelligence, and physical beauty. It plays a vital role in detoxifying the body, and maintaining optimal albumin levels is crucial for overall well-being. [51:30] Optimizing Digestion, Fasting, Kidney Health, and Protein Intake for Wellness Pay attention to your enzyme levels and digestion efficiency. Digestive enzyme supplements may assist in breaking down proteins and aiding in better nutrient absorption. Intermittent fasting may not be the best choice for everyone. Instead, consider longer fasting periods, like 7 to 14 days, which can provide more significant metabolic benefits. Short-term fasts might stress your body without yielding the same advantages. Keep an eye on your kidney function, especially if you have high levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and a high BUN-to-creatinine ratio. Elevated levels may indicate potential kidney stress, and you may need to adjust your protein intake to optimize kidney health. While protein is important for muscle, bone density, and overall health, consider spreading your protein consumption evenly throughout the day rather than in high doses all at once. This can help reduce the burden on your kidneys and maintain better overall health. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Barrie Tan. He is hailed as a trailblazer, and the world’s foremost expert on vitamin E. Dr Tan is credited with discovering a form of vitamin E called tocotrienol in the three major sources – Palm, Rice, and Annatto. Dr Barrie, described as a scientific pioneer, has a simple mission: improve the everyday health of people’s lives through the rigorous application of DeltaGold® – the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product extracted from annatto and the most potent form of vitamin E in existence today. He is the founder and chief scientist at American River Nutrition and spent ten years as a chemistry and food science/nutrition professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In this episode, Dr Barrie speaks about why somebody dedicates their life to certain research, and the truth about Vitamin E. Dr Barrie explains what happens when vegetable oils enter the cells. Dr Barrie delves into the types of fats in the cell wall and their percentages. Listen in as we talk about vitamin E, vegetable oils, antioxidants, Tocotrienols, and cell wall fats.

They have a lot of double bonds, and they’re very unstable. DHA and EPA are even more unsaturated than vegetables. [04:50] What Happens When Vegetable Oil Enters The Cell Wall of Your 38 Trillion Cells?  Lipoprotein particle has one or two proteins that carry the oil, travels through the bloodstream, and eventually ends up under trillions of cells.  About 80% of the cell wall is fat, a rudimentary and primitive way of understanding aging.  Greater than 90% of all the antioxidants on the cell wall are vitamin E molecules, tocotrienol. Less than 10% of them are Co-Q 10, which your body makes, Lycopene and Beta-keratin.  Four Major Food Groups are Fat, Protein, Carbohydrate, and Nucleic Acid. [12:27] Watch Out! Keep Your Body Healthy From Fats and Cholesterol Vast amounts of fatty acid are not healthy for the body. The cholesterol is made by our body and is in the cell to give flexibility to the cell, so it is not too rigid or stiff. One in every 10,000 oxygen becomes radicalized. It had two very active electrons under oxygen, with a high potential energy. [22:28]  Increase Your Knowledge Of Various Antioxidants Facts Worth Knowing The body makes very few endogenous antioxidants, including Co-Q 10, Glutathione, and Estrogen.  Plants have tens of thousands of antioxidants; the most common ones the plant makes are polyphenols.  Supplemental Co-Q 10 is hard to absorb by the body and will only stay in the blood.  Keratin’s purpose is to capture this oxygen free radical and protect against oxidative damage, so the leaf is not destroyed. [37:28] What Are The Various Types of Vitamin E You Must Look Out For?  Tocopherol and Tocotrienol are the two major forms of Vitamin E. Most Vitamin Es are 95% Tocopherol, and 5% will be Tocotrienols. Rice, palm oil, and the annatto plant are common products containing Tocotrienols. Plants produce keratin to preserve foliage colour. [42:12] Learn About The Benefits And Beauty That The Annatto Plant Offers The annatto plant doesn’t contain tocopherol, which hinders the function of tocotrienol. It has 90% delta-tocotrienol and 10% gamma-tocotrienol. Annatto produces tocotrienol to preserve the colour of the plant longer. Protecting the colour is critical for the plant to attract birds to swallow its seed and help maintain the lifecycle. AND MUCH MORE!

[01:30]  Exploring the Factors Behind Metabolic Inflexibility in the United States -       The shift in the American diet towards a grain-based, carbohydrate-heavy intake, largely driven by the recommendations of the US Department of Agriculture for 6 to 11 servings of grains daily, has led to a predominance of carbohydrate consumption. This constant influx of carbs can inhibit the body's ability to burn fat for energy. -       Excessive sugar intake leads to elevated insulin levels, which can lock fat into fat cells and hinder the body's capacity to switch to using ketones for energy. -       High carb intake leads to spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. This cycle perpetuates itself as higher insulin levels inhibit fat burning, and the brain becomes reliant on glucose, making it challenging to switch to ketones as an energy source. -       Many individuals are trapped in this carb-dependent cycle due to a lack of knowledge about how the body's metabolism functions. [13:55] The Impact of a Strategic Keto Program for Athletes and Beyond -       Keto is a valuable tool for resetting your metabolism, typically over a strategic three to six-week program, especially when you're significantly out of balance. -       Athletes who adopt a ketogenic approach to both training and dieting can achieve about 80% of their desired results within the first six weeks. However, the remaining 20% of results may take an additional two years to attain, making some athletes hesitant to embrace this approach. -       In general, most people tend to respond positively to a ketogenic diet within three to six weeks. During this period, it's essential to monitor your progress through blood work. -       While daily carbohydrate needs can vary for top competitive athletes, for most reasonably healthy and fit individuals, an upper limit of 150 grams of carbs per day is suggested to replenish glycogen stores. [21:30] The Power of Metabolic Flexibility and Streamlined Energy Utilization -       Achieving metabolic flexibility comes with metabolic efficiency, meaning the body becomes highly efficient at extracting energy from various substrates. The efficiency is enhanced when the gut biome is healthy and can adequately digest food, preventing the wastage of calories. -       Human bodies have evolved to store excess calories efficiently as fuel. This mechanism is designed to cope with periods of food scarcity. Excess calories are stored in convenient locations, particularly around the central gravity of the body, such as the belly, hips, thighs, and buttocks. -       Metabolically flexible individuals experience a protein-sparing effect, where amino acids are recirculated rather than being converted to glucose. -       Metabolically flexible individuals often require fewer calories than expected for optimal functioning. By focusing on a balanced diet with adequate protein, minimal carbohydrates, and moderate fat intake, one can maintain health and vitality without the need for excessive calorie consumption. [32:45] Feeling the Power of Keto-Adaptation: Mental Clarity, Stress, and Cognitive Efficiency -       The primary indicator of becoming keto-adapted or achieving metabolic flexibility is how you feel. Paying attention to mental clarity, improved cognitive function, and overall well-being is crucial. -       Ketosis is often associated with stress on the body. While many individuals measure and brag about high ketone levels, especially in the early days of adopting a ketogenic diet, more seasoned practitioners may not exhibit high ketone levels. -       In the absence of glucose, muscles can initially use ketones for energy. However, when you become fully metabolically flexible and keto-adapted, the muscles prioritize glucose and fatty acids as their primary fuel sources, allowing ketones to be reserved for the brain. -       As the body becomes more efficient at utilizing ketones, it is the brain that primarily relies on them, allowing for enhanced cognitive function and maintaining energy levels during periods of low food intake. [45:30] Rediscovering the Power of Walking: A Foundational Practice for Health and Balance -       Human bodies are designed for movement, and walking is a fundamental activity that aligns with our natural physiology. Our ancestors spent millions of years walking across various terrains, which was essential for survival. -       Walking is a highly beneficial form of exercise, particularly for individuals who are overweight or seeking weight loss. Running can be more challenging for those who haven't adapted to burning fats efficiently. -       Running as a primary means of weight loss can have downsides for many individuals. It can deplete carbohydrate stores quickly, leading to increased hunger and a greater risk of muscle loss. -       Walking should be a foundational practice for everyone, promoting balance, metabolic efficiency, and overall well-being. [01:01:30] Hormesis: Using Short-Term Stress for Long-Term Health Gains -       Hormesis is the concept of introducing short-term stressors to the body, which can be beneficial for overall health and adaptation. -       Hormetic effects vary depending on the context and timing. For example, a workout intentionally induces inflammation to prompt the body to respond by getting stronger over time. -       Cold plunging can have a hormetic effect, such as the activation of brown fat or an anti-inflammatory response. However, the timing and context matter. Before a workout, it might not be ideal. -       Initially, cold plunging can be a mental challenge, but with practice and a change in perspective, individuals can overcome their fear of cold water and experience the benefits.

We have Rachel Varga with us, and we will talk about skin health. She will tell us what inspired her to make a career in the health space. She grew up in a humble home and learned a lot from her parents' experiences; she learned to use her hands from her carpenter father and long hours of work from her nurse mother. She graduated from nursing school, worked at a high-security prison palliative care, and realized she wanted to be a skin doctor after a lot of in-depth thought. She became an expert in her field, taught other doctors, and now she has gotten into research. She aims to inspire others to be more beautiful and radiant through body, mind, and spirit energy and detoxification.

Without gut testing, you will miss the mark. This is biohacking, and this is what changed Rachel's life. From a gut perspective, she also includes detoxing and cleaning protocols every full moon to keep things like yeast, fungi, toxins, and parasites out of the system. This transformed her life physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. Through this fast of food, sleep, sex, and alcohol, she felt changed. This event positively affected her skin and cleared it. It even removed PMS systems from her cycle. [13:25] Skin health Skin health is an excellent way to know about somebody's overall health Some cues give away about one's gut through skin issues that they have The first is the eyes: puffy eyes could indicate inflammation. The inner eyelid area can also mean that something is going on inside. When you start consuming a lot of sugar, alcohol, and dairy, if it's not something you are used to, you will notice the effects on your skin after a couple of days. Puffiness, redness to the nose, acne, effects on nails, etc., are some of the things that may pop up. Brain fog is another significant consequence of bad health.   [19:22] Supplements A product with omegas and other essential nutrients from a particular company This company has been working for the past fifteen years This product will give you a golden type of glow, and it helps with pigmentation Rachel did a study for six to eight weeks with her cohort, and the results were the same: reduction in puffiness, reduction in redness, reduction in darkness, pigmentation fading, and so on. Photography and research are so important to know for sure. [22:27] What is the reason behind dark circles? The number one reason why guys complain is the eyes. The skin around the eyes, especially the lower eyelid area, is as thin as an eggshell. You could be lacking collagen, hydration, healthy fats, etc. Skin care comes, and sun protection can help. Other solutions include Vitamin C, Vitamin A, dermal rolling, and getting lasers done. [28:40] Foods that are bad for your skin and why? Dairy is related to gut disturbance and causes inflammation, damaging the skin. Gluten is also inflammatory for most people and causes the same problem. Alcohol taxes your liver and indirectly affects your gut. Raw kale and spinach are on the list as well. Vegetables and corn oils also make it to the list and shouldn't be consumed or put on the skin. [39:21] What are some ways to tighten the skin after weight loss? It has to be surgery often, but if you put in the work, you can make it work without it. If you do the work and make good life decisions, you can make it possible. A positive mindset will also enable you to see improvements. Heavy lifting and derma rolling can help. Derma rolling is a decades-old practice, and you can have more collagen with the consistent use of this particular tool. Even senior citizens between the age of sixty and eighty have seen positive results after its use. Lasers are also an excellent option, but they are costly. [44:45] What does Rachel have on her website? All of her favorite things: personal care products, grooming products, hair growth stimulating effects, skincare products, and so much more. She works with a lot of brands, and she narrows them down. She even has quality supplements that are clean of toxins and work perfectly. She even gave everyone a fifteen percent discount. [46:40] How can you get rid of cellulite? Every time you take a bath, take it with one of her pineapple oils. Pick up a rounded ceramic product, take it into the bath, and use it against your skin. Be consistent to see results. AND MUCH MORE! Rachel Varga's website: https://rachelvarga.ca/  Use code KETOKAMP for 15% off site wide.
