[11:31] Highest Value: Know Who You Are and The Most Important in Your Life  -       Being clear about what is most important for you is life's single most important thing in driving anything, like passion and purpose. -       Everybody in the world has a different highest values and unique purpose they're here for. -       Just because somebody else may have the same purpose as you doesn't mean your purpose is less important. -       Be a grown-up and figure out how to change your view and narrative of something for it to benefit. [20:18] How Keto and Intermittent Fasting Helps Overcome Addiction  -       Most medicine and healthcare these days are not necessarily to alleviate suffering but to prolong life. -       Suffering addiction patients are drawn to sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods. -       Sugar, refined foods, and highly processed carbohydrates are addictive. -       With a no-sugar diet, patients with mental problems were positively impacted. -       Once we start healing and finding the sweetness inside, we will automatically stop looking for the sweetness outside in food.  [30:55] CrossFit Health: Creating the Path in Connecting Health and Fitness  -       Karen organized a huge low-carb conference in South Africa, inviting all well-known low-carb advocates. -       CrossFit’s purpose is to bridge the gap between nutrition and exercise. -       When people become too stuck on the external appearance in any part of any training, we lose sight of the bigger picture and how it will affect us later in life, which is what we need to focus on.  [39:33] Are Carnivore Diet for Life Good Or Bad?  -       Karen doesn’t believe in the carnivore diet for life but said that it is still a great therapeutic tool. - Occasionally, a carnivore diet is great when resetting or dealing with mental health. -       Everyone should try and experiment with it. -       On the other hand, to determine which vegetables to eat, you need to eat them and see how you feel afterward.  [44:51 Artificial Sweeteners: Can You Use It as a Sugar Replacement? -       Yes, artificial sweeteners are not ideal. But sometimes, we need them as a stepping stone to something else. -       To replace sugar, remove the component that needs for sweetness for the sweet taste. Just simply move away from it. -       Get rid of it. It's not necessary.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Latt Mansor. He holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford. Dr. Mansor also holds an MA (Columbia University) and BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals. As H.V.M.N.’s Research Lead, he oversees the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products. This episode originally aired in July 2022. In this episode, Dr. Mansor speaks about the inspiration behind his career in the health industry, which eventually led to his role as H.V.M.N.’s Research Lead. Dr. Mansor explains why 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and how it’s related to elevated blood glucose and chronic inflammation. Then, Dr. Mansor talks about the importance of stress on the body and how to find the “sweet spot” when it comes to weight lifting and other hormetic stressors. Tune in as we chat about exogenous ketones, improving sleep quality, and how Ketone-IQ can help your recovery.

EveryDay Dose Everything you love about coffee, none of what you don't — say goodbye to jitters, anxiety, crash, and digestive issues. https://everydaydose.superfiliate.com/KETOKAMP  (5 FREE Travel Packs + Free Frother applied) Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [02:00] The Inspiration Behind Dr. Mansor’s Career As H.V.M.N.’s Research Lead Dr. Mansor grew up in a family with a high prevalence of diabetes. His father passed away from a stroke, and his brother passed away from a heart attack. Growing up, Dr. Mansor was overweight. During his undergrad, Dr. Mansor learned about physiology and metabolism. Plus, during college, Dr. Mansor started to exercise and actually enjoyed exercise for the first time in his life. With all this knowledge, Dr. Mansor realized he could be healthy without worrying about the diseases his family members suffered from.  [10:35] Why Are 88% of American Adults Metabolically Inflexible?  Your nerves have a higher risk of getting damaged when there is a constant increase in elevated glucose in the blood. Your body knows something is wrong with increased glucose, which triggers chronic inflammation. Metabolism is all about balance and moderation.  Every enzyme has a specific temperature range at which it’s optimal.  When you activate inflammation constantly, there are bound to be adverse side effects.  [15:35] Life Is All About Challenges and Growth - Use Trial and Error To Find Your Sweet Spot  Life is all about giving yourself a challenge, adapting, learning, and growing. Next time you face the same challenge, you can tackle it in a much more efficient way.  It can be difficult to find the sweet spot when you are challenging yourself. Dr. Mansor uses a trial and error approach when it comes to knowing his sweet spot while exercising.  Your body will adapt. People want instant change; however, you need to give your body time to change.  [22:40] You Need To Train Your Body To Respond To Certain Conditions Effectively and Optimally  Metabolic inflexibility is your body’s inability to switch from burning glucose to burning fat. When there is dysfunction, there is bound to be a deficiency, and there is bound to be wasted energy. Everyone thinks cortisol is the bad guy; however, you need cortisol to function.  The goal is not to shut down whatever is related to chronic disease. Instead, you want to train your body to respond to specific conditions effectively and optimally.  [30:20] Exogenous Ketones Are a Source of Energy and Can Help Lower Your Hunger Hormones Ketones are fuel for you to create energy.  There are still calories with exogenous ketones.  You won't lose weight if you have too many calories and are not exercising.  Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. Ketones can help lower that hunger hormone. [36:05] Exogenous Ketones Are Useful For Getting Back Into Ketosis  If you are following a ketogenic diet, you may not need exogenous ketones. However, do you have a hard time getting back into ketosis? If you fall out of ketosis, exogenous ketones can be a helpful way for you to get back into ketosis. Exogenous ketones are also a great tool to use before exercising.  [43:20] The Brain Doesn’t Metabolize Glucose As Efficiently After A Traumatic Brain Injury  Dr. Mansor researched how ketones can be a therapeutic intervention to treat traumatic brain injury. Within 48 hours, studies show hypermetabolism of glucose after trauma.  Some researchers think the body wants glucose for energy to repair.  Ketones can help give the brain another option to produce energy.  For some reason, the brain doesn't metabolize glucose as efficiently after a traumatic brain injury.  [55:55] Ketone-IQ Is A Useful Biohack To Improve Your Sleep and Recover Faster  A dose of ketones after a workout and a dose of ketones before sleep can be helpful for recovery.  Plus, ketones before sleep can improve sleep quality.  Ketone-IQ has been proven to support energy, focus, and endurance. Do not take ketones more than half an hour before bed.  Instead, take ketones right before you go to sleep.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Brian Sanders. He is the filmmaker behind the Food Lies documentary, host of the top 5 nutrition podcast Peak Human, and an international speaker.  He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He works as a Health Coach at Evolve Healthcare and co-founded the health education company Sapien. He also works to spread the awareness of regenerative agriculture and increase access to well-raised animal products through his company Nose to Tail. This episode originally aired in July 2022. In this episode, Brian opens the show by explaining the inspiration behind his diet and lifestyle changes. Then, he dives into his documentary Food Lies and the new science changing everything we need to know about nutrition. Later, Brian explains why cows aren’t causing a climate crisis and how the facts don’t show that red meat causes cancer. Tune in as we talk about the importance of protein, why processed foods companies are behind the vegan agenda, and regenerative agriculture.  Download my free keto grocery shopping list: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

The whole goal is to get Food Lies on Netflix.  Food Lies is all about the sordid history of our dietary guidelines, what we should be eating, and how to do it sustainably.  [15:20] Are Cows Really Causing The Climate Crisis?  There's always been methane coming from ruminant animals. Methane from animals is part of the natural system.  There’s a huge diversion going on. 95% of emission problems are from other industries.  The fossil fuel industry extracts carbon from deep into the ground.  Big industry is controlling the narrative around methane and cows.  [23:30] All Animals Require Protein: What Happens When You’re Not Getting Enough Building Blocks  All animals acquire food to get a certain amount of protein. If animals don’t have enough protein in their food, they have to eat more food to get enough protein. The protein of the population has dropped dramatically. When you drop protein, you have to eat more calories as a result.  Protein isn’t the answer for everything; you also have to consider nutrient density. [31:30] How Much Protein Should You Be Eating Every Single Day?  Eat a gram per pound of body weight or lean body mass. There isn’t a downside to eating this much protein.  If you have a severe kidney problem, there’s a chance you’ll have issues with too much protein.  You’ll have a problem if you’re eating high protein and highly processed foods.  If your ideal weight is 130 pounds, consume 130 grams of protein.  [37:10] Does Eating Red Meat Cause Cancer? No, The Problem Is Processed Foods  Why is there a worldwide agenda against meat? Epidemiology can't show causation; it can only show correlation.  A famous study says that red meat causes cancer. However, it has a lot more to do with eating processed foods with processed meats. If you’re eating a hot dog, you’re eating a bun. If you’re eating a steak, you’re probably not eating a bun.  [40:45] Processed Food Companies Are Behind The Vegan Agenda  A massive conglomeration of worldwide processed food companies is pushing the vegan agenda.  The countries that eat little meat have 30-40% child malnutrition and stunted growth.  There’s barely any profit margin in milk, eggs, fish, and fresh foods. That’s why the vegan agenda is so popular because big companies can make huge profit margins on their products.  AND MUCH MORE!

[04:07] Different Types of Eczema and How They Differ from Each Other -       Eczema or atopic dermatitis is just rashy skin and often has a component of overgrowth of staph aureus on the skin. -       There are three types of priorities of eczema and how they appear. -       Gut-mediated eczema is usually going to look bright red. If it's circular, it is probably always gut mediated. And it's going to look worse in the summer. -       Antihistamines and histamines aren't enemies but are almost always a problem in most eczema cases. -       Histamine should be broken down better when you have good gut bacteria. [10:06] Are You Digesting Properly? Things You Should Know About Digesting -       No one is digesting because we suppress all our digestive enzymes, stomach acid, and pancreatic enzyme functions under stress. -        Undigested stuff creates chaos in the immune system. And then it informs the immune system that there's a problem, which can lead you to have food sensitivities. -       If you do not have a banana bowel movement every morning, you're probably not digesting beautifully. [28:11] Improving Gut Microbiome: Tools That Can Help To Strengthen Your Gut -       Prebiotics are supposed to feed good bacteria. But most clinicians at practice would tell you they are good and bad, depending on the prebiotics. -       Saccharomyces boulardii can pass the stomach acid spores and typically can have some bacteria-shifting properties. Still, they're probably not enough when you have H.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Morgan Nolte, PT, DPT, Board Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist (ABPTS) is the founder of Zivli, LLC.  This episode originally aired in March 2022. She graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2014 and completed the Creighton University Hillcrest Health Systems Geriatric Physical Therapy Residency Program in 2015. Outside of work she loves cheering on the Nebraska Cornhuskers, spending time with her husband, Justin, playing with their kids Dawson and Leah, devouring audiobooks, and being active. In this episode, Dr. Morgan Nolte opens the show by diving into her background and why she is so passionate about disease prevention. Keeping insulin low is one of the most significant ways to prevent disease; Dr. Nolte explains the role of insulin in the body and why having too much of it can wreak havoc on the body. Then, Dr. Nolte speaks about why caloric restriction is not an efficient way to keep weight off; in reality, keeping insulin low is a way to maintain a healthy weight and prevent disease. Tune in as we chat about why intermittent fasting is excellent for your gut, and Dr. Nolte reveals some of her favorite resources for maintaining a healthy mind.

Plus, she has additional training to be board certified in geriatrics.  Dr. Nolte would see people in their sixties who were acting like they were eighty.  The care and services that Dr. Nolte would provide seemed like it was too little and too late.  Insulin resistance is at the core of all the conditions that Dr. Nolte treats. The longer you hold off making those lifestyle changes, the harder it will be to get healthier.  The longer we continue to make poor decisions, the easier those decisions are to maintain. [10:15] The Role of Insulin In Health and Disease  Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas. It is a good thing and a vital hormone.  Insulin is an anabolic hormone, meaning its role is to build things up. Insulin’s role is to move blood sugar, or blood glucose from your bloodstream, into your cells to be either used as energy right away or to be stored in the form of muscle glycogen, liver glycogen, adipose tissue, or fat tissue. Exercise will reduce blood sugar. You shouldn’t focus on calories. Instead, you should focus on blood sugar for weight loss.  When insulin continues to go up, your cells will become resistant to that insulin. Eventually, you will start to see blood sugars go up.  Remember, 88% of adults have insulin resistance. If you learn how to live a low insulin lifestyle, you’ll lose weight and prevent disease.  [22:50] Your Metabolism Will Slow Down With Chronic Caloric Restriction  A fascinating study showed chronic caloric restriction slows your metabolism for six months to four years. When you return to your old eating habits, you’ll gain weight because your metabolism has slowed down.  Many doctors don’t have the capacity and the resources to help their patients with nutrition.  Overall, we need more proactive measures, and we need to take responsibility for our health.  [25:40] Stop Asking This Question: “How Do I Lose Weight?” We are asking the wrong question.  We shouldn’t ask, “how do I lose weight?” In reality, you should be asking, “how do I lower insulin?” The quality of the questions you are asking will determine the quality of your life.  If you want to lose weight and keep it off, that takes an entirely different approach and mindset.  Anyone who has been in the coaching business understands that mindset trumps everything else.  If you don’t have the mindset in place, all other strategies will fall short.  [27:25] Autosuggestions Can Help You Live A Healthy Lifestyle  Here are some books that will help with your mindset: Think and Grow Rich: https://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Napoleon-Hill/dp/0449214923/benazadi-20 Atomic Habits: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299/benazadi-20 Traction: https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Gino-Wickman-audiobook/dp/B00A9Z973M/benazadi-20 The systems that Dr. Nolte learned to implement in her business are things like being accountable, being productive, and being focused. These are exactly the same systems that her clients need to stay focused and accountable towards their new healthy lifestyle. For Dr. Nolte, living a healthy lifestyle is automatic to her. She wants to help her clients automatically live a healthy lifestyle too.  [44:45] Why Does Intermittent Fasting Work So Well For The Gut?  To learn more about fasting, Dr. Nolte recommends Cynthia Thurlow’s work: https://cynthiathurlow.com/ It’s important to let your digestive system have a break. Fasting will let your digestive enzymes do their job.  Another helpful resource is Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease--and How to Fight It: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Sick-Disease_and/dp/194883698X/benazadi-20 AND MUCH MORE!

[06:10] Are You Familiar with Perimenopause? How is It Different from Menopause?  -       Based on research, 20% of women don't know what stage they're in. -       Perimenopause is the years before menopause. Depending on the individual, it can last anywhere from a couple of months to years. -       Menopause is once you've gone 365 days or 12 months without a cycle. -       Everything after menopause, which is technically that one day is considered to be post-menopause. -       There are over 100 different symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Fatigue, brain fog, sleep issues, memory loss, and anxiety are the most common symptoms.  [16:05] Supporting Your Adrenal Glands Is Important, but How?  -       When the ovaries are gone, the adrenal glands replace them, so nourishing them is important. -       Managing stress and cortisol levels is the number one way to support your adrenal glands. -       Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption. -       Just be mindful of what you put in and on your bodies.  [28:11] Food and Nutrition: What You Should Eat and Should Not Eat  -       Focus on eating enough protein, and avoid carbohydrates. -       Eat vegetables and lower glycemic fruits like berries. -       Ensure you eat good quality oils instead of seed oils such as canola, corn, cottonseed, safflower, sunflower, soy, and grape seed. -       Stay hydrated. Drink water, decaf tea, or soup.  [35:53] What Are The Acceptable Substitutes for Artificial Sweeteners?  -       Stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol are good replacement for artificial sweeteners. -       Even using good sugar replacement, make sure to balance everything in moderation. -       High fructose corn syrup, trans fat, monosodium glutamate, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and certain preservatives are the things you want to avoid.  [42:06] Are You Taking Supplements? Listen and Learn to Know More About Taking Supplements  -       Looking at the ingredients of the supplements is important because you want to make sure that it will work. -       Prebiotics: feeding the good bacteria in our gut is super important.  You can also get prebiotics from Jerusalem artichokes, onions, garlic, and asparagus. -       Fish oil and omega three in the triglyceride form can help with itchy ears, skin, and eyes and reduce inflammation. -       We must supplement our diet because most of us aren't getting the necessary nutrients. -       Food nowadays lacks vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: ●  Website: https://andreadonsky.com/ ●  Morphus: https://wearemorphus.com/   ●  Follow Andrea Donsky: ●  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andreadonskyRHN/ ●  Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndreaDonsky ●  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@andreadonsky?lang=en ●  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreadonsky/ ●  Andrea’s book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Unjunk-Your-Junk-Food-Alternatives/dp/B01FKRQZYM/benazadi-20 ●  Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a ●  Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / 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.

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.
