[05:33] The Amazing Health Benefits of Eating Organ Meat ·       Eating organ meats provides nutrient density, including vitamins and minerals essential for the body. ·       Organ meats contain blood, fat, and other elements that were brand new to our species and contributed to the increase in brain size and development of language. ·       Our species evolved when we started incorporating organ meats into our diet, and this cannot be denied. ·       Eating organ meats is important for overall health and well-being; without them, our bodies may not have developed to their current state.  [09:42] The Problem With Keto & Carnivore: Too Much Muscle Meat! During the war, there was a protein shortage, and the government invested in a campaign to promote alternative protein sources, including organ meats. To make organ meats more appealing, they were renamed "variety meats." When women entered the workforce, there was more household income, and people started to prefer more expensive cuts of meat, contributing to the decline in demand for organ meats. People prefer muscle meat over organ meat because of the loss of familiarity and taste. Thus, local markets no longer carry organ meat, making it harder to source. The most nutrient-dense parts of the animal, such as organ meats, are considered not for human consumption and are used in other industries, which leads to a need for supplements and other sources of nutrients. [22:16] Creative Ways to Use Eat Pluck to Enhance The Nutritional Profile of Your Food! The five organ meats (liver, heart, kidney, spleen, pancreas) are important because, in the past, when tribes slaughtered animals, they would only have limited amounts of these organs, which were often given to those who were pregnant, sick, or children. Eating nose to tail is important to get the full range of nutrients from the whole animal. Eating nutrition is better than swallowing because it bypasses the digestive process and immediately responds to the body's needs. The body immediately responds to the nutrient-dense properties of organ meats, much like the way it responds to salt. Kids enjoy eating organ meats and may crave them because their bodies recognize the nutrients they provide. [39:52] Can Organ Meat Put a Dent in Disease?  ·   Eating organ meats is an ancestral concept supporting different body parts. ·   Modern diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's, thyroid issues, and lung problems may be related to the lack of consumption of organ meats. ·   Eating organ meats may positively impact overall energy and nutrition. ·       Feeling better in your body may lead to treating others better and creating a better world.

[1:33] The Cell Danger Response – Why The Mitochondria Get BROKEN  -       If we look at how we make energy, we're moving electrons, which we call the electron transport chain. This is the job of the mitochondria. -       In the process, there could be efficient and non-efficient. As we get older, it becomes a less efficient system. -       Several factors will influence the fluidity of making energy. -       There's a threshold of inflammation that completely shuts down the mitochondria when it is exposed to a toxic environment. -       The acid in the body creates resistance, and resistance in the body creates acid. This also translates into inflammation and stress, negatively impacting energy production. -       We need to start looking at things increasing the inflammation in our body and start to lower those. [11:00] Are You Stressed? Take Melatonin and Protect Your Mitochondria  -       Melatonin is the antioxidant that sits and prevents this Cell Danger Response to the shutdown of the mitochondria. -       You can take melatonin at night, and it's great for sleep. -       When faced with overwhelming stress, they must do more than just one thing. They can't expect just to do the ketogenic diet, and everything turns around. -       There are only two antioxidants that can enter the mitochondrial membrane: melatonin and glutathione. -       There shouldn't be any fear regarding melatonin because there's no negative feedback loop. You don't shut down your own production; it has no toxicity. [22:12]  Learn About The Locus Coeruleus aka The Blue Spot in Your Brain  -       The blue spot, known as the locus coeruleus, is in the brain's center. -       A healthy individual must be able to transfer short-term memory to long-term memory to have healthy mental, emotional, spiritual, and overall well-being. -       You want your stress level to be low during sleeping. -       When our stress hormones rise, our short-term memory becomes trapped in a vicious loop. -       Drug companies are interested in finding something that can impact locus coeruleus. -       The ability to consolidate our memories revolves around REM sleep and having low-stress hormones leading up to sleep. -       Avoiding alcohol, eating late at night, light pollution, EMF exposure, and turning wifi router off will be helpful to have good REM sleep. [30:56] The Amazing Benefits of Cold Therapy, & Why You Can Do Too Much of it -       If you are having difficulty tolerating the cold water, keep your hand out of the water. -       Most people can tolerate the suggested three minutes. It can be quite uncomfortable for some people than others. There will not likely be any damage or danger to your cells or tissues. -       In the biohacking world, cold therapy is great for having an adaptive response that the body becomes stronger and more resilient in case we have that stressor comes in the future. -       If you do cold exposure and you've wiped out the rest of your day, it's a sign you did too much, so you want to find that sweet spot where you feel better and your body's adapting because we know stress is only bad when you don't adapt to it. [34:09] Dr John’s Epic Bio-Hacking Morning Routine  -       When connected to Mother Earth, we suck ions into our body for mitochondria, energy production, and overall health and balance. -       In the morning, Dr John does sungazing to activate his circadian rhythm. -       Breathwork and some exercises are beautiful ways to start a day. -       Dr John also takes supplements in the morning. -       How you start that morning determines how you will function for the rest of the day.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Temple Stewart. She is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and Health Behavior Change Specialist. Temple played D1 soccer at the University of Tennessee Martin, which is where she received a degree in Dietetics. She completed an internship at the VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, FL. Temple currently works and lives in St. Petersburg, FL with her husband and their two poodles, Axel and Rowdie. Throughout college Temple developed a very unhealthy relationship with food and began using food rules or diets as punishment or for comfort. This behavior propelled Temple into learning all she could about food and how impacts our bodies, ultimately making her choose to become a Registered Dietitian. Throughout the process, Temple began to learn how to eat for health and how to develop a healthy relationship with food. Along the road, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), furthermore increasing her interest in treating the body with nutrition. In this episode, Temple talks about her journey to health and reversing the symptoms of both PCOS and Hashimotos. As a trained dietitian, Temple reveals why her education around food wasn’t exactly the best information. Plus, Temple dives into her favorite health hacks, including the carnivore diet, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, and lab work. Tune in as we chat about how much protein you should be eating, how keto will help with fertility, and tips for asking your doctor about prescribing a CGM. This episode originally aired in January 2022.

Plus, she had no menstrual cycles. When she went to the doctor, they put her on birth control. After moving to Florida to become a dietitian, Temple’s health worsened. Temple was doing exactly what they taught her in dietitian school: eat less, move more, more vegetables, and less fat. Eventually, Temple was diagnosed with both PCOS and Hashimotos. [06:10] How Temple Realized Her Dietitian Training Was Garbage Temple read The Obesity Code: https://www.amazon.com/The-Obesity-Code-Dr-Jason-Fung-audiobook/dp/B01MRKEO0U/benazadi-20 After reading The Obesity Code, she went down a rabbit hole with tons of other resources. She started helping patients in the hospital lower their carbs. Temple did a research study; every single person got off their medications and lost weight after lowering their carbs. [08:30] It Took Three Months For Temple To Reverse Her Hashimoto’s Symptoms Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is essentially an autoimmune disease. A lot of times, Hashimoto’s and PCOS go hand-in-hand. Keto can be so helpful because it takes away a lot of the triggers of the immune system. Through nutrition, Temple was able to get rid of all her symptoms. [16:00] If You’re Starting To Change Your Diet, Try Carnivore  Everyone can benefit from a carnivore lifestyle. A lot of people are suffering from something and don't realize it until they go carnivore. If you want to get into ketosis quickly, try carnivore for a couple of days. People who are hitting plateaus can definitely benefit from a carnivore diet. [16:55] Insulin Resistance Is Actually Weight Loss Resistance What's causing the weight to stay on your body could be due to insulin. There are people who have tried every diet in the book. For the most part, people end up lowering calories. However, nothing will work when insulin resistance is up. Weight loss is typically a symptom; it usually comes after you heal your body. [18:45] Strategies For Overcoming A Keto Weight Loss Stall  A lot of times, carb cycling can be effective. Complex carbs can help women depending on where they are in their cycle. Temple will also suggest switching up your intermittent fasting routine. The same thing goes for exercise – sometimes you are doing too much! Plus, don’t forget to look at your sleep and your stress. Lastly, you may need to get labs and see what’s going on with your hormones. [21:30] Why Temple Loves To Implement Intermittent Fasting   Intermittent fasting is great for weight loss, aging, and protecting the brain. Many people do well fasting for 16-hours and having an 8-hour eating window. A 72 hour fast done quarterly can reset your immune system. Temple will encourage her clients to do what works for them. Fasting during breakfast is very popular. However, many women do better when they fast during dinner time. With intermittent fasting, the sky is the limit. [25:15] How Much Protein Temple Will Recommend For Her Clients   Temple recommends .8 or .9 grams per lb of body weight for a woman. People who are snacking could stop if they meet their protein needs. Most women are undereating protein. The recommendations out there on protein are so low! [30:10] Why Protein Is So Satiating and Filling To The Human Body Protein is the building block for everything. It's really the only macronutrient that you cannot live without. Plus, protein is extremely satiating. It's really hard to eat an exorbitant amount of food when you’re eating protein. [32:35] Why The Scale Is Setting You Up For Failure Women can fluctuate eight pounds just in terms of hormonal water weight gain when they cycle through their period. People get so attached to the scale because society values thinness. Instead, you should judge based on how you feel. Think about how your bowel movements are, what your skin feels like, how your hair is growing. The scale should be way down the list of importance when it comes to health. [37:00] Tips On Speaking With Your Doctor About Your Health   First, Temple says you need to find the right doctor. Usually, a doctor can get you a CGM. Naturopaths and more holistic homeopathic physicians should be able to help you. Tell them you are interested in how food impacts your blood glucose levels. If a doctor shuts you down or isn't even willing to have the conversation with the insurance company, you might think about finding someone who is. [40:30] Should I Follow A Keto Diet If I’m Trying To Get Pregnant? PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. The most common cause of PCOS is absolutely insulin resistance. So, keto will improve your chances of getting pregnant. PCOS women are at a much higher risk for gestational diabetes. Going low carb will be safe if you’re doing it in a nourishing way. You have to focus heavily on fatty meats. When you get pregnant, you really have to focus and make sure you're getting the right nutrients. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Rachel Brown & Ally Houston. Rachel is a consultant psychiatrist and functional & metabolic practitioner, while Ally is a Metabolic mental health coach trained by PreKure and Dr Georgia Ede. Rachel and Ally both work as a coach in MetPsy, empowering people with mental illness to use proven diet and lifestyle techniques to heal themselves. They offer Coaching programs for your mental health, no matter where you are in the world.  Dr Rachel started her Atkins diet when a family friend introduced it. Over the year, Dr Rachel suffered from sugar addiction. This made her stray from a low-carb diet and instead go to more intuitive eating programs. Not just did it not help her with her addiction, but it left the worst experience for her to remember. Eventually, Dr Rachel managed to go back to a low-carb diet, keto, and more animal-based nutrition. Keto helps her restore her relationship with the foods.  Ally suffered from food addiction. Even though his mom cooks delicious and nutritious foods, he still eats cereals, causing the root of his food addiction. For some reason, his weight did not become a problem until he was in his late 20s when he realized his poor metabolic health. Because of his addiction, Ally had several autoimmune diseases. He goes through the conventional way of healing, which only worsens his disease. Ultimately, all of his autoimmune diseases were gone when he changed to a keto diet.  In this episode, Dr Rachel and Ally shared how mental health problems and gut microbiome are related. They also discuss the three primary reasons for you having a leaky gut. Furthermore, they discuss why you should not just believe in evidence-based medicine. And lastly, Ally and Dr Rachel discuss why it is best to do your research. Tune in as we chat about mental stress, gut microbiome health, evidence-based medicine, and research. 7 Day Keto Challenge Recordings with Ben Azadi, Dr Jason Fung, Dr Boz, & Dr Ken Berry: https://www.ketokamp.com/keto-challenge-april-2023 Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- 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.

[18:49] How Are Mental Health Problems and the Gut Microbiome Connected? -       Gastrointestinal microorganisms are involved because they generate neurotransmitters and produce other metabolites that communicate, such as short-chain fatty acids. -       Interaction between a wheat, protein and Zonulin component opens up tight junctions, causing leaky gut in everyone, not just celiac disease patients. -       LPS can activate immunological resident immune cells in the brain known as microglia. And then, you start a self-perpetuating loop in which immune cells in the brain generate more inflammatory cytokines and free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammation. -       Whatever happens in the gut occurs in the brain and vice versa. [23:51] 3 Lifestyle Behaviors That Cause Leaky Gut! -       Diet is the top cause of a leaky gut. -       We must be cautious of what we put into our body since it will come into contact with our gut lining and have various effects. -       Stress is the second reason you have a leaky gut because it increases intestinal permeability. -       Alcohol is the third leading cause. [26:04] How Mental Stress Creates Havoc Inside Your Gut Microbiome -       There is brain-to-gut signaling when taking in different sensory perceptions, such as watching or listening to negative news from various sources all the time. -       It's possible that stress is triggering our leaky gut. It's also possible that when stressed, we're compelled to eat in ways that aren't good for our gut. -       The tight junction system is also found in breastfeeding women, which is why casein is potentially such a massive concern for persons with autoimmune, gut difficulties, or with mental health issues. -       Information about the microbiome is still lacking. -       Managing gluten, stress, and dairy can help you have a healthy microbiome. [37:11] Do You Only Believe in Evidence-Based Medicine? Here’s What You Need to Know  -       If we take the research literature as a whole, there's publication bias that comes with it. -       The vast majority of information on diet evidence is based on associational data that does not establish one thing or the other and is flawed due to confounding factors within the populations studied. -       Imagine discovering that the truth of a subject contradicts what your academic parent, someone you care about, disagrees with. This is the most serious conflict of interest in science. -       The notion that there is one science, one evidence-based medicine, is equally absurd because practically any subject can be found where someone from Oxford and someone from Harvard are opposed. [44:28] Research and Lab Work: How to Find an Approach That Works For You -       It is highly recommended to do your research, not just blindly believe anything somebody might be saying. -        Dr Rachel also does her research on triglyceride to HDL ratio. -       Ally does a Mcdonald’s experiment wherein he only eats a huge amount of food at Mcdonald's for a month.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Patrick McKeown. World-renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko. From a young age, Patrick suffered from asthma and relied on an array of medicines and inhalers until he discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26, experiencing immediate relief from his symptoms. By applying the principals of the Buteyko Method, Patrick remains asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, wellbeing, and fitness. In this episode, Patrick talks about how crowded teeth can be a problem for breathing. Then, we discuss the main issues that can develop with chronic mouth breathers. Patrick dives into exactly how we should be breathing through our noses and the relaxation effect that will take place with proper inhales and exhales. Tune in as Patrick reveals why he highly recommends taping your mouth before bed. Plus, Patrick recommends the best resources to learn more about breathing exercises and guidelines.

He started to practice slow breathing and light breathing. Through breathing, he was able to influence the temperature of his fingers. Learn more about Patrick by reading his book Atomic Focus: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Focus-Resilience-Breathing-Exercises-ebook/dp/B09D9ZL9HL/benazadi-20 [07:15] The Problem With Crowded Teeth and Breathing If the teeth are crowded, your jaw is too small. If your jaw is too small, there’s not enough room for the tongue. So, the tongue is more likely to encroach the airway. When your airway is compromised, you may get disordered breathing during sleep. A palate expander is something that can be useful to improve breathing. [16:40] The Problems That Can Develop With Chronic Mouth Breathing Yawning excessively can be a clue to mouth breathing. Whenever Patrick works with a student, he tries to switch them from mouth breathing to nose breathing as much as possible. He also works on functional breathing patterns. Light breathing helps ensure the blood chemistry is normal. You’re more likely to breathe light through your nose. By changing our breathing patterns, we can stimulate the vagus nerve. [21:55] Patrick Explains How You Should Breathe Through Your Nose Bring your attention to your breathing. Slow down your inhale, and have a slow, gentle exhalation. When you need to breathe in, take in a gentle inhalation. At the end of the inhalation, bring a feeling of relaxation to the body. When you do this correctly, you will feel air hunger. As you do this for two to three minutes, check the saliva in your mouth. Normally, it increases. When the human body undergoes stress, the mouth goes dry. While on the other hand, when we slow down our breathing, we should have more saliva in the mouth. [38:40] Why Patrick Recommends Mouth Tape Before Sleep Mouth tape can bring you so many benefits. 50% of people wake up with a dry mouth in the morning. Breathing through your mouth at night can wreak havoc on your dental health. Mouth breathing will cause more sleep disruptions. Breathing through the nose will make it so you don’t have to wake up as much in the middle of the night.
