Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

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!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Mark Sisson. Health and fitness expert Mark Sisson is the New York Times bestselling author of The Keto Reset Diet and founding father of the ancestral health movement. His blog, MarksDailyApple.com, and Primal Blueprint lifestyle program has paved the way for primal enthusiasts to challenge conventional wisdom's diet and exercise principles and take personal responsibility for their health and well-being. From its humble - and controversial - beginnings in 2006, Mark's Daily Apple has grown into one of the highest-ranked health information resources on the Internet, with some three million unique visitors each month. An entrepreneur presiding over a wide-ranging primal enterprise, his fledgling Primal Kitchen healthy condiment line was acquired by Kraft-Heinz in 2018.  Mark has a BA in biology from Williams College and is a former world-class endurance athlete, with a 2:18 marathon and a fourth-place finish in the Hawaii Ironman World Triathlon Championships to his credit. Today, Mark directs his competitive energies into high-stakes Ultimate Frisbee tournaments against competitors decades younger on the battlefields of Miami Beach, FL. This comprehensive episode dives into various aspects of metabolic flexibility, ketogenic diets, the impact of diet on health, and the concept of hormesis. The journey begins with exploring the factors behind metabolic inflexibility in the United States, focusing on the shift towards a carb-heavy diet and its consequences, including elevated insulin levels and reliance on glucose for energy. Mark highlights the strategic use of keto programs for athletes and individuals looking to reset their metabolism.  Mark also emphasizes the significant benefits of adopting a ketogenic approach in both training and dieting, showcasing how a well-structured program can yield remarkable results within three to six weeks. Rediscovering the power of walking is another crucial topic we touch on, emphasizing that human bodies are naturally designed for movement. Overall, this podcast offers a holistic view of metabolic flexibility, ketogenic diets, exercise practices, and the role of short-term stressors in promoting long-term health and adaptation.

[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.

Head to https://everydaydose.superfiliate.com/KETOKAMP  (5 FREE Travel Packs + Free Frother applied) [7:14] Gut testing and gut work Even if you eat healthily, it doesn't matter because you need to eat according to your DNA and epigenetics. 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.

[09:42] Understanding Mold Symptoms: Differentiating Allergic and Neurological Responses ·   There are two types of symptoms related to mold exposure: allergic responses from mold parts and spores, and neurological effects from mycotoxins. ·   Mold can push the body into a toxic overload, manifesting issues at its weakest points.  ·   Addressing water leaks and fixing the source is crucial, as mold needs both a food source (organic material) and water to grow.  ·   Thorough cleaning is essential after fixing a mold problem, as it's the released biotoxins, not the mold itself, that can make occupants sick. ·   Mold toxins are invisible, can permeate clothing, carpets, and beds, requiring a comprehensive cleaning approach. [15:12] Mold Impact on Relationships and Mental Health ·   A couple facing relationship issues reached out for a virtual home walkthrough, revealing mold infestation in their crawlspace. ·   After remediation and moving out temporarily, the couple's relationship significantly improved, saving their marriage. ·   The mold strain in their home was identified as a specific irritant affecting their mental health. ·   This experience made Ryan realize the broader impact of mold on mental well-being, beyond physical symptoms. [23:08] Unraveling Health Mysteries: How Home Environment Impacts Well-being ·   A healthy family in a new home experienced mysterious health issues, especially neurological problems in their daughter. ·   Investigation revealed issues with the air filter size and gaps during Arizona dust storms, causing health problems. ·   The daughter's bed was placed near the refrigerator with a powerful motor, leading to high EMF (electromagnetic field) levels affecting her sleep and causing neurological symptoms. ·   Simple adjustment by moving the bed to the other side of the wall significantly improved the daughter's symptoms. ·   Ryan emphasizes the need for widespread knowledge on home interaction for overall well-being and advocates for incorporating this knowledge into educational curricula. [37:07] Boost Your Energy and Longevity: Easy Home Habits for a Healthier Life ·   Easy lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on energy levels and brain clarity. ·   Environmental factors are often overlooked but are crucial for well-being. ·   Regularly assess how you feel outside your home; positive feelings outdoors may indicate indoor environmental issues. ·   Improved well-being can lead to increased productivity, providing more time for family, side businesses, and personal pursuits. ·   There is a lot of value in having extra brainpower and energy for a more fulfilling and productive life.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Melanie Avalon. She is a SAG-AFTRA actress and host of the top iTunes podcasts, The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast and The Intermittent Fasting Podcast. She has been featured in numerous publications, including USA Today, Forbes, Fox13, and Entrepreneur, and a speaker at Dave Asprey’s 2021 Biohacking Conference.  Melanie was born and raised in the South and graduated from the University of Southern California with a double BA in film and theatre in 2012 after leaving high school a year early at age 17. Since graduating, Melanie has worked steadily in acting, audiobook recording, and writing about a Paleo diet and lifestyle at Paleoactress.com. She has also starred in several films and television productions, narrated several audiobooks, and written the bestseller The What When Wine Diet. Being an "old soul," Melanie is renowned for her vivacious, optimistic, upbeat, and enchanting attitude. "Live vicariously through yourself!" is her credo.  She holds certifications from the WSET as a wine specialist, the AFPA as a holistic nutritionist, and Mensa International as a member. To assist folks with food sensitivities, she created the popular iTunes app "Food Sense Guide," which often appears in the top 10 of all iTunes Food and Drinks apps.  Serrapeptase 125, the first product in Melanie's widely awaited AvalonX supplement line, was recently released.

What and how much we eat affects our entire constitution and overall health. The more you learn, the more you want to share what you’ve learned to help others. Melanie started trying the Paleo diet after she read Robb Wolf’s The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet. [11:05] Getting Heavy Metal Poisoning from Fish People don’t realize and tend to underestimate how much mercury there is in the fish you eat. Melanie thinks that swordfish should be made illegal to be sold in restaurants due to the amount of mercury you can contract from it. Eat fish in moderation to avoid heavy metal poisoning. You can get mercury poisoning not only from fish but from silver tooth fillings as well. Symptoms of this poisoning include fatigue, anemia, memory loss, anxiety, hot flashes, and insomnia. [25:25] What Happens When Toxins Get into the Body? Our bodies can detoxify on their own; however, we are not accustomed to the overwhelming toxic burden that we have nowadays. Every day toxins such as heavy metals in the food we eat, pesticides, skincare products, and makeup aren’t regulated, which is why we consume more than we should. An abundance of certain compounds in makeup can cause you to gain weight and make it hard to lose it. Not to mention carcinogens. The solution to pollution is dilution. There are also studies about obesogens that states that they may affect insulin levels as well. [39:05] The Most Common Themes in Interviews Most people are all about bio-individuality: different diets and things work for different people. Most of them seem to be focused on fasting as well, which is quite popular at the moment.  Blood sugar control is a common theme since many people have a lot of trouble dealing with it. There is no cookie-cutter approach to anything. Different strokes work for different folks. A specific diet can’t work for literally everyone. It’s not as simple as eating less food and moving your body, and you immediately get results. Outcomes depend on every person. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Cynthia Thurlow. Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, nutrition, and intermittent fasting expert, and two-time TEDx speaker. She is deeply committed to assisting women in achieving well-being via the healing power of nutrition and fasting. Cynthia believes that you may feel better tomorrow than you do now and wants to empower you to do so! Cynthia spent nearly 20 years in clinical medicine, working in both the emergency room and cardiology. Cynthia began to think more about the root causes of chronic health concerns, despite her appreciation for mainstream medicine's ability to treat disease and save lives. She quickly saw the importance of the connection between food and her patients' health. Cynthia pursued additional nutrition and functional testing training to help others achieve maximum health. This episode takes a deep dive into protein, mTor vs autophagy, biochemical individuality and more. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[14:00] What's the Importance of Protein to Aging and Metabolic Health? ●      Protein is a critical macronutrient, especially as we age, as it helps stimulate muscle protein synthesis and maintain lean muscle tissue. ●      Contrary to previous beliefs, older individuals need more protein to combat muscle loss and support insulin sensitivity. ●      The minimum recommended protein intake per meal is 30 grams for most people, with some individuals requiring more based on their needs. ●      Properly understanding portion sizes and macronutrient combinations is essential for optimizing protein intake. ●      Inadequate protein consumption may contribute to the metabolic health crisis, emphasizing the importance of including enough protein in one's diet as they age. [18:06] Change Your Perspective and Support Your Overall Health! ●      Cancer is a multifactorial disease influenced by various factors, including diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and even emotional health. ●      Fixating on a single aspect, such as excess protein intake and mTOR activation, oversimplifies the complex nature of cancer development. ●      Chronic and habitual one-meal-a-day (OMAD) fasting can lead to metabolic distress, muscle loss, and hinder metabolic health. ●      Individuals must shift away from restrictive dieting and nourish their bodies with adequate nutrition to support overall health. ●      Society's disordered relationship with food, body image, and weight contributes to unhealthy dietary and lifestyle practices and the rise of unhealthy diet culture. [29:35] Here's What You Need To Know About Animal and Plant-Based Protein ●      The amino acid composition of animal-based protein is superior to that of plant-based protein. ●      When choosing plant-based protein, it's essential to be cautious about consuming excessive carbohydrates to meet protein intake goals. ●      Metabolic health and insulin sensitivity are significant in determining the ability to handle plant-based protein, particularly for those in perimenopause and menopause. ●      The Protein Leverage Hypothesis highlights the importance of adequate protein intake for satiety and blood sugar regulation. ●      Starting the day with a higher protein meal can lead to greater satiety and reduced cravings throughout the day, promoting healthier eating habits. [35:25] How Do You Get More Protein while Intermittent Fasting? Check this out! ●      Adjust your fasting and feeding windows to make it more manageable to consume an adequate amount of protein. ●      Slowly increase protein intake to reach your target, especially if you are metabolically healthy. ●      Use tracking apps like Chronometer to get a clear picture of your daily protein intake. ●      Consider incorporating a high-quality protein shake or amino acids if you struggle to meet your protein goals through whole foods. ●      Bio-individuality plays a significant role in choosing protein sources and added ingredients, so find what works best for your digestion and preferences. [46:14] Fasting for Menopausal Women and Its Benefits and Considerations ●      Focus on managing stress and improving sleep before diving into fasting for postmenopausal women. ●      Fasting should be considered one of many strategies and should not be added without addressing foundational issues like sleep and stress. ●      Individualize fasting strategies for postmenopausal women and use them as a beneficial stressor rather than overloading the body. ●      Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a valid option for menopausal women but should be approached with informed decision-making and working with healthcare providers. ●      Understand the hormonal changes in the body during menopause and their influence on fasting and health, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. [56:08] Strategic Application of Stressors: Hormesis and Fasting ●      Utilize hormetic stressors like fasting, exercise, and cold exposure to promote resilience and strength. ●      Be strategic with stressors by understanding genetic susceptibility and personal tolerances. ●      For some, long fasting, categorized as more than 24 hours, may not be suitable, especially for lean middle-aged individuals, due to concerns about muscle loss. ●      Consider gender-specific and age-specific factors when determining the best fasting regimens. ●      Monitor health markers, including muscle mass and immune system function, to make informed decisions about fasting strategies. [1:02:00] Achieving Autophagy and Hormetic Stress ●      While eating breakfast can be challenging for some, the goal is to consume most of your daily calories earlier, optimizing cortisol levels and insulin sensitivity. ●      The timing of meals affects the body's balance of hormones like ghrelin and leptin. ●      Blue light exposure, especially at night, can disrupt hormonal rhythms and affect hunger hormones. ●      Scientific studies may vary in their findings regarding hormone levels, but real-world results and individual experiences should guide your eating schedule. ●      Monitoring your feelings, energy levels, weight loss, mood, and sleep quality is crucial in determining the right breakfast timing. [1:09:00] What effects on your health do environmental toxins have? Reduce Your Risk! ●      HRV (Heart Rate Variability) varies significantly from person to person due to genetic and individual factors, making it crucial to establish a personal baseline and progress over time. ●      Comparing your HRV to others can lead to frustration and unrealistic expectations, as it's heavily influenced by age, genetics, and other factors. ●      Environmental factors, such as mold exposure and EMF radiation, can profoundly affect health, leading to symptoms like poor sleep, weight gain, and inflammation. ●      Sensitivity to environmental stressors differs among individuals, making some more like "canaries in the coal mine" who react strongly to these exposures. ●      Identifying and addressing environmental contributors to health issues is vital to a holistic approach to well-being.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: ●      Website: https://cynthiathurlow.com/ ●      Intermittent Fasting Transformation: https://cynthiathurlow.com/book/ ●      Follow Cynthia ○      Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CHTWellness/ ○      YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cynthiathurlow ○      TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cynthia_thurlow_ ○      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cynthia_thurlow_/ ●      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 / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[00:00] Parasympathetic Nervous System: Activate it Through Essential Oils Essential oils can get assimilated through the nose and directly into the brain. Instead of needing an invasive surgery, you can take a stimulatory blend of essential oils. It gets through the skin and works quickly. Essential oils help to digest food and absorb nutrients. [21:52] Having Trouble Sleeping? Solve it with this Method -        Oils can be utilized to restore the equilibrium of various organ systems and brain regions. -        Apply the oils right above the ear since the skin is thinner there. -        You can apply any blend of oils that feels relaxing. People mostly use citrus sprout blends. -        To feel less worried, close your right nostril, inhale through your left, and smell anything such as orange.  [26:24] What does the Gallbladder Blend Can Do? -        The blend is designed to tonify the gallbladder and thin the bile. -        It topically overlays the energetic signature of what the gallbladder is supposed to feel like. -        It is one more tool you can apply to return the gallbladder to balance.   [32:15] Importance of Lymphatic System and Ways To Get It Going  -        The lymph is critical to ensuring that the garbage leaves the body. -        Your lymph moves when you move, so exercise, yoga, and any breathing practice help the lymph move. -        Sleep is important because an aspect of your lymphatic system called the glymphatic system, which is a kind of brain carwash, is only active at night. [37:17] Histamine intolerance: Return it to Balance Through this Blend -        If you had mold exposure in your house, the mold could linger. And that can cause you to be overactive too many things -        You don't want it turned off. You just want to modulate it.             -        You can use the blend in several ways. You can use it to support sinus drainage and mold removal. -        Put the histamine balance on the back of your ears or the back of your neck, and it will work without exhausting you.  [42:45] Don’t Just Mix Your Own. Here’s the reason why -        Sometimes, it is more expensive than just getting pre-made. -        Jodi gives you ready-made remedies that many practitioners are already using, so you don't need to worry about mixing your own. -         If you're new to this,  just try it by buying an orange and smelling it through your left nostril.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Doug Fears. He is a senior adviser (non-resident) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the chief operating office of Artis International, a company specializing in integrating artificial intelligence and behavioral science. Growing up on the eastern shore of Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay, he was naturally drawn to a life on the water. This inclination led him to enlist in the Coast Guard in 1982, initially with no intention of making a long-term commitment. However, Doug's initial four-year plan transformed into a 40-year career. Eventually, Doug transitioned into roles centered on policy and D.C., focusing primarily on federal budgeting. He closely collaborated with the House of Representatives, the Office of Budget and Programs, and the National Security Council staff. His career path afforded him profound insights into governmental operations and the intricacies of public policy. In this episode, Doug discusses his life journey and delves into the concerning state of government nutrition policies. He reveals the significant influence of industry interests, underscores the importance of metabolic health during the pandemic. Tune in as we engage in a conversation about the necessity for unbiased research and funding to support evidence-based, empirically sound health recommendations. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[16:59] Keto and Health Transformation Fat adaptation can be achieved relatively quickly by restricting carbs and increasing fat intake. Keto adaptation is a more prolonged process that involves reshaping physiological properties and processes. Keto-adapted individuals may experience a decline in ketone levels, indicating efficient ketone utilization. Maintaining a flexible approach to intermittent fasting can enhance the journey to better health. The use of tools like the power plate and other devices can help increase bone density and improve overall fitness.  [25:33] Dental Health: The Mouth-Heart Connection The toxins in the mouth may attribute to a significant percentage of heart disease. Biological dentistry recognizes the interconnectedness of oral health with the overall body. The removal of amalgam fillings and root canal-treated teeth can aid in reducing toxic burden. Cavitations, unhealed spaces in the jawbone, can harbor harmful bacteria and contribute to systemic inflammation. Improving airway health and addressing sleep apnea can positively impact overall well-being. [32:03] Biohacking and Optimal Health Wim Hof breathing and cold exposure can provide an immediate boost in energy and mental acuity. Red light therapy, especially when used in 10-minute cycles on various body areas, has a profound impact on well-being. Methylene blue, when combined with red light therapy, enhances ATP production, contributing to improved energy and overall performance. Nitric oxide and methylene blue can both be beneficial, but it's essential to use them cyclically rather than chronically. Ozone therapy, including rectal insufflation and ozonated water, can help address toxicity and health issues without resorting to antibiotics.  [49:47] The State of Government Nutrition Policies  The government's nutritional guidelines are problematic and counterproductive, promoting the wrong dietary choices. Public health interests are often influenced by industry interests and lobbying, making it challenging to shift towards more accurate health recommendations. Metabolic health and nutrition should have been a central focus during the pandemic, but the public often seeks quick fixes and pills rather than making lifestyle changes. There's a clear agenda to push engineered plant-based foods and diminish the popularity of the keto diet, leading to censorship and misleading information. A fact-based, empirically sound approach is essential to promote health and reduce medical costs, emphasizing the need for unbiased research and funding. AND MUCH MORE!
