Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Chris Irvin, a nutrition researcher, writer, and educator. He holds a master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science and is currently the education manager for Perfect Keto. This episode originally released on December 2020. During his time in grad school, Chris began to see the keto industry growing. Chris was in big support of this industry growth because he thinks a robust industry can support good research, but with so many companies coming on the scene just trying to make a buck, Chris became discouraged and kept his distance. After spending a couple of years researching and developing content about keto, Chris decided to start looking more into the keto industry because he wanted to bring more research and education into the industry. Fortunately, Perfect Keto was looking for someone to improve research and education within their company, something they were already doing very well! Chris was already a big fan of Dr. Anthony Gustin and the quality products he was making at Perfect Keto, so it ended up making a great fit. Now Chris focuses on learning and educating the masses on the ketogenic diet through The Ketologist and Perfect Keto! In this episode, Chris Irvin opens the show speaking about his journey to the keto diet and eventually the carnivore diet. First, we talk about how ketosis can actually help you build muscle despite people thinking insulin is required for muscle growth. In fact, ketones can stimulate muscle growth. Later, we dive deep into the carnivore diet. Chris explains how he found the carnivore diet, why the carnivore diet is beneficial for our gut, and if the carnivore diet is sustainable long-term. Tune in as Keto Kamp members join the show to ask Chris questions about supplements and what to pay attention to when trying the carnivore diet. 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 7 day keto challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  BiOptimizers Kapex Special Offer: www.kenergize.com/ketokamp Use the code  ketokamp10 for 10% off PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

At grad school, he learned about the benefits of keto from a sports perspective. When Chris tried keto, he didn't feel that great. However, after a few days, Chris started to feel energized. During his research at grad school, Chris got to look at how keto would affect athletic performance. If you want to learn about the therapeutic effects of keto, Chris recommends reading Tripping over the Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Tripping-over-Truth-Overturning-Entrenched/dp/1603587292/benazadi-20 Chris became frustrated that all this research was available, but people didn’t have access to it. So, Chris decided to start making content to educate the masses on the ketogenic diet. [16:45] How Ketosis Helps You Build Muscle People think carbohydrates and insulin are required for muscle growth. However, you don’t have to have them. There are other ways that you can stimulate muscle growth. Ketones are muscle-sparing. You don’t lose muscle with ketosis. Ketones can also stimulate muscle growth by activating muscle proteins. Getting enough protein will be essential for muscle growth, especially for men. Even for people who aren’t focused on gaining muscle, there should be a focus on retaining muscle. Chronic diseases will destroy our health through muscle loss – so increase your protein intake. [21:00] How Chris Got Into Carnivore Chris tried carnivore about two and a half years ago. At first, Chris didn’t think an all-meat diet would be beneficial for people. After trying carnivore, he loved the way that he felt. It also changed the way that he looks at nutrition because he now prioritizes quality meat. Chris found that the carnivore diet gives him more strength in the gym, improves his productivity, decreases his hunger, improves his body composition, and even increases his ketone levels. After seeing the stories and hearing so many people who get excellent benefits from a carnivore diet, Chris thinks people can decide if it's the right fit for them. [26:40] Getting Vitamins And Minerals Through The Carnivore Diet Surprisingly, there are loads of nutrients in red meat. People think that plants provide us with essential micronutrients, and cutting them out will lead to deficiencies. However, micronutrients in plants are poorly absorbed in humans. Ketones are able to provide the benefits that vitamin C does. Plus, your demand for vitamin C will be less when you’re in ketosis. You need lots of vitamins on the standard American diet; your body doesn’t need as many vitamins in a carnivore diet. [31:45] Repairing The Gut With Carnivore    Gut health will improve with the carnivore diet for two reasons: Plants contain compounds that are toxic, and they can wreak havoc on our bodies. Some people are sensitive to these plants from overconsumption. So, when we eliminate those plants, the gut can start to heal through carnivore. Meat will provide nutrients to help with the repair of your gut. It can repair the lining of your gut and the structure of your gut. Thus, reducing leaky gut syndrome. [38:20] Is The Carnivore Diet Sustainable?   The carnivore diet is sustainable for an extended period of time. There is no reason to think that this diet is going to be bad for us. If you’re talking about sustainability for enjoying the diet, then it depends on the person. For someone who likes to cook and needs more flavor, the carnivore diet can be a bit boring. People can benefit from the carnivore as a diet as a tool in their toolbelt. Use the diet in four to six-week blocks. You can join The Carnivore Reset Challenge: https://meatreset.com. [52:20] Supplements For The Carnivore Diet Electrolytes will be a necessity on the carnivore diet. Find a powder or a capsule electrolyte supplement. [56:00] Repairing The Gut After Antibiotics The longer you’ve been taking antibiotics, the more damage that has occurred in your gut. In most cases, there is a two-week minimum to try the carnivore diet to see how your digestion is responding. Impaired gut health will zap your energy and prevent you from feeling great. If you’re not feeling great on carnivore, then you need to stick with it longer. [59:20] Feeling Better On Carnivore There should be a noticeable change that your quality of life is better on the carnivore diet. When you’re healthy, you’ll feel better. Digestion should improve. You won’t feel bloated or nauseous after meals. More energy and more mental clarity will also be a sign that the carnivore diet is working. AND MUCH MORE!

He is also a Contributing Health and Wellness Writer at The Epoch Times. His work also includes the topics of regenerative agriculture, resource-based economies, and quantum technologies.  He is a facilitator and collaborator of big ideas, visions, and projects that spark creative and healing solutions in our world. In this episode, Lance opens the show by speaking about the importance of symptoms in getting to the root cause. Unfortunately, our medical system is designed around symptom management rather than uncovering the real issue behind our health problems. Lance dives into the benefits of grounding and sunlight, especially in the morning hours of the day. Tune in as we chat about the role of lifestyle in neurogenesis, apple cider vinegar for weight loss, and ways to boost your immune system before getting on an airplane.   Ascent Nutrition: https://bit.ly/3P4kX9L use the code ketokamp for 10% off 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 7 day keto challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

[04:55] Find The Root Cause, Not Just The Symptom  Drugs are usually not solving the root of the issue. Most likely, drugs are covering up the underlying cause of what’s happening. If you can find the cause of your problems, you can stop them at the source.  Sadly, our medical system is all about symptom management rather than finding the root cause. Pharmaceutical drugs, for the most part, only go after symptoms.  Symptoms result from causes; it shows you that something in your body is off! [10:20] The Benefits of Grounding and Sunlight To Start Your Morning  Get sunlight in your eyes each morning.  If you step outside in the morning, it’s stimulating a cascade of physiological effects. Ultimately, it results in better neurotransmitter production and healthier and happier moods and outlooks. Twenty minutes outside each morning would be ideal.  Also, touch the earth with your bare skin. Grounding allows the nerve receptors on our skin to pick up electrons from the earth. [17:35] The Role of Lifestyle In Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity Neurogenesis and neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to repair and regenerate itself but also make itself moldable and plastic.  We can change how we think and our wiring based on thoughts, actions, food, and exercise.  Connections are essential for the health of the brain.  Covid has pushed us to a breaking point. It’s time to reorganize and reshift our priorities.  Focus on your mind and brain; lifestyle practices will help you with neurogenesis.  [21:10] What You Need To Know About CBD In The United States  CBD will impact inflammation, pain, sleep, and mood. Also, CBD has been shown to help neuronal pathways to kill certain auditory fear expressions.  There are about 3,500 different CBD companies in the United States.  Studies show that 40% of companies don’t have the amount of CBD in the product they advertise.  You want to look for CBD grown organically and without pesticides.  [31:45] How To Boost Your Immune System Before Flying  You can optimize the immune system by getting enough sleep the night before travel. When you fly on a plane, you are exposed to more radiation and EMFs.  So, getting enough sleep will be critical before you travel.  Also, ensure you are hydrated enough during a travel day. It is not a fun situation when you are dehydrated on a plane.  Plus, ensure you have eaten well before travel.  [43:50] Apple Cider Vinegar Supplements To Promote Healthy Bacteria  Apple cider vinegar is a long-term remedy that has been used for ages. It stimulates your metabolism and helps with fat loss. Apple cider vinegar is a great way to help with overall health and promote healthy bacteria.    AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Lance’s Website: https://lanceschuttler.com Ascent Nutrition: https://bit.ly/3P4kX9L use the code ketokamp for 10% off Follow Lance Schuttler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lanceschuttler/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnzg8wslh978Cm9RlT_DlYw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lance.schuttler.17 Follow Ascent Nutrition Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ascentnutrition Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goascentnutrition/ 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 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 7 day keto challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

[05:25] Your DNA Is Not Your Destiny: Epigenetics Matters So Much More DNA is not your destiny.  In fact, DNA only accounts for about 20% of your health outcome.  That means 80% of your health is epigenetics.  What you eat, how well you sleep, and your stress levels are much more important to your overall health than your DNA.  [07:20] How Genes Mixed With Diet Can Affect Your Inflammatory Markers Certain SNPs may mean you have some inflammatory reactions to a ketogenic diet.  Other SNPs make people slightly more sensitive to saturated fats than others.  Also, some SNPs will directly impact your exercises. For instance, your SNPs may make you more susceptible to tendon and ligament injuries. Make sure to check your inflammatory markers to see if your diet affects your health.  [10:45] Personalized Health Care Driven By Your Genetics Dr. Dawson has the world's first AI-driven precision medicine platform. They take over 700,000 different data points from the DNA bloodwork, questionnaires, and conversations. Then, that information goes into an engine that generates a report to give recommendations.  To give a proper recommendation, Dr. Dawson needs to fully understand someone’s health.  Check out Wild Health: https://www.wildhealth.com/ [13:20] Sleep Analysis: Brain Health Starts With Good Sleep Prevention is critical for brain health.  Sleep is the single most crucial thing that you can do for your brain.  Dr. Dawson is a fan of the Oura Ring for tracking sleep. Get it here: https://ouraring.com/ Over a few months of trial and error, you can learn how to optimize your sleep and enhance your brain health.  [30:20] Exercise Can Improve Your Mood and Remodel Your Brain Exercise has so many benefits for our health.  Intense exercise increases brain-derived neurotrophic factors.  Dr. Dawson recommends reading the book Spark. Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Spark-Revolutionary-Science-Exercise-Brain/dp/0316113514/benazadi-20 Exercise outperforms antidepressants when it comes to improving depression and anxiety.  Plus, exercise is excellent for clarity and your mood.  [39:50] The Surprising Health Benefits of Eating Sardines  What fish should you eat? Remember SMASH: salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herring. Dr. Dawson will eat two cans of sardines daily; it is the world’s perfect food. Sardines are immaculate fish.  Plus, sardines have all the organs.  You will have mental clarity after eating such clean food.  [46:20] All Health Experts Can Agree On These Basic Universal Truths  Everyone agrees that vegetable oils and sugars are unsuitable for you.  Also, everyone agrees that it is better to eat whole foods rather than processed foods.  Plus, health experts agree that exercise is critical for overall health.  Lastly, lowering stress, good relationships, and social lives are all amazing for your health.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Get 20% off Wild Health services.

Jacoby’s Research For The Surgeon General of Taiwan The Surgeon General asked Dr. Jacoby of Taiwan to figure out why people there had diabetes. After doing research, Dr. Jacoby told the Surgeon General that it was their diet. Luckily, Dr. Jacoby was able to educate them on insulin resistance, diabetes, and the cause of their health problems. [04:00] Sugar Is Not Only A Drug, But It’s Also A Toxic Poison Too Sugar is a poison. Table sugar is really glucose, which is not sweet, mixed with fructose, which is sweet. Well, that’s a disaccharide which is a poison. Most people love this poison because the hippocampus in your brain is the addiction center. The brain will turn off enzymes that cause satiation. Sugar is probably 20 times worse than cocaine. Ancel Keys told us that cholesterol was causing heart disease; however, that’s a total lie. Every process in the body is nerve-muscle function. Through Dr. Jacoby Global Compression Theory, he links carbohydrates to conditions like plantar fasciitis, Alzheimer's disease, MS, ALS, and Autism. If you're carrying the genes and eating sugar, you're going to get that particular disease. [20:15] Avoiding The Hidden Dangers Of High-Fructose Corn Syrup 80% of all the food in the United States has high-fructose corn syrup in it. High-fructose corn syrup is made by putting the corn in sodium hydroxide. For many years, they were using mercury to separate the starch from the husk. Plus, it’s grown with glyphosate, which is the main ingredient in Roundup. This is one of the reasons that Autism is so high. [24:30] How Does The Immune System Fight Covid-19? The vaccine does not prevent you from getting the vaccine. It will change your response to the virus. Why do some people die from a virus and other people don’t? If your immune system is down, it won’t be able to kill the virus. While on the other hand, if you have a healthy immune system, it will kill anything. The higher our inflammatory levels, the lower our vitamin D levels will be. Take vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, melatonin, and don't eat sugar. That way, you have a 99.9% chance of not dying from this virus. [33:00] Our Food Supply In The United States Is Making The Virus Worse      Jacoby isn’t telling people don't eat sugar. He’s saying if you do eat sugar, then you're going to die. Sugar tastes great – it’s a drug! We all eat it. However, we should know better in 2021. Sadly, our tax dollars are broadcasting lies. Plus, we are wearing masks and being told to stay inside. Money and control are at the root of our problems. There is a direct link between sugar in our diet and nerve damage, which results in a wide range of chronic, debilitating diseases that are seemingly unrelated. [41:30] Your Body Is Built To Heal Itself + How You Can Help Stop eating sugar, get vitamin D, vitamin C, melatonin, get sun, and you’re going to be fine. That’s what it takes for your body to handle the virus. Jacoby says that if you are selling the keto diet, then you should be able to open your restaurants. If your restaurant is selling sugar, then you need to stay closed. People should be outraged! We can empower others and change the entire outcome of our country. [49:15] How To Kick Your Sugar Addiction + Help Your Health Jacoby puts butter in his coffee, and it changed everything. Italians put butter in their coffee. Human beings eat fat – that’s their natural diet. Sugar is not in our natural diet. You can also put sea salt in your coffee to replenish electrolytes. If you just eat fat, then you will live forever. Theoretically, all you need is fat because you will make your own sugar. [52:50] Artificial Sweeteners Could Be The Poison Ruining Your Health Artificial sugar is still a sugar molecule with a toxin. Monkfruit and stevia are okay. Once you get on keto, you won’t want to eat that sweet taste. Anything that ends in “ose” is bad. Words with “ol” like alcohol is sugar alcohol. AND MUCH MORE!

[00:55] How James Swanwick Helps People Feel Better By Quitting Alcohol In 30 days of not drinking, James lost 13 pounds, slept better, looked better, and got a job on ESPN.  After 30 days, James decided to stop drinking altogether; that was 12 years ago. Now that he doesn’t drink, he has created a business to help people sleep better and to help people stop drinking. Even a seemingly innocent glass of alcohol each night has detrimental effects on your life.  Any amount of alcohol each night is enough to cause brain damage.  [07:10] Saying No To Peer Pressure and Alcohol Consumption The social pressure to drink is high. However, it is becoming lower. There is a worldwide movement of people becoming alcohol conscious. Millennials have never drunk less in their entire life. In fact, alcohol has a real image problem at the moment.  Remember, 93% of all communication is body language. Go through life being open and relaxed; that way, people don’t harass you to drink. [15:05] Do You Struggle With Instant Gratification? Get Rid of Temptations  An alcohol buzz is a short-term pleasure. We should look at our life and make long-term choices.  Long-term pleasure is so much more pleasurable and rewarding. We all have to sacrifice something; should we sacrifice short-term rewards for long-term enjoyment?  James will sacrifice short-term pleasure for long-term gain. The choices that you made six years ago can pay off today.  [19:20] Is It Possible To Drink Alcohol and Get A Good Night’s Sleep?  Any amount of alcohol close to bedtime is going to disrupt your sleep. When you’re tired, you tend to seek out sugary foods to give yourself an energy spike.  You are better off having alcohol for breakfast than at nighttime. That way, your body can work on getting rid of toxins during the day. There is a direct correlation between alcohol drinking and weight gain.  Also, alcohol will destroy energy levels.  [23:40] What A Lack of Sleep Is Doing To Your Body and Mind  When you are tired, you are miserable.  While on the other hand, when you sleep well, everything feels so much better. If you want to feel better, you need to put a premium on your sleep. Don’t drink alcohol at night, don’t eat before bedtime, and don’t look at screens before bedtime.  Sleeping above 69 degrees is compromising your sleep.  When we have compromised sleep, we are not repairing and restoring.  Putting a high focus and premium on optimizing your sleep is critical. [29:30] Ditch Artificial Light and Live By Candlelight During The Night Any artificial light at night compromises your sleep.  Light will suppress your body’s melatonin release. Blocking artificial light is imperative to ensure you have a good night’s sleep.  The best thing you can do at night is to live by candlelight.  Flame does not suppress your body’s melatonin production.  [35:40] Why You Need Both Clear Lens Glasses and Orange Lens Glasses  Clear lens blue light-blocking glasses will filter blue light and are recommended for daytime computer use. At nighttime, you should switch to orange lens blue light-blocking glasses to ensure you block all the blue light responsible for suppressing melatonin production. Orange lens glasses will help you sleep better for nighttime use. You need both daytime glasses and orange lens glasses.  [39:25] Gratitude Changes Your Brain: Giving Thanks Can Make You Happier James will write down twenty things he is grateful for each morning.  Science shows that living a life of appreciation instead of expectation will result in lower stress and anxiety levels.  It can be challenging to think of 20 things each morning. However, you will realize how many things you must be grateful for.  What you feed energy to will expand.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Diane Mueller. Dr. Diane Mueller has a double doctorate degree and is certified in functional medicine. A large part of her passion is helping women live the life that they want to live, full of purpose, happiness and health.  As a survivor of mold illness, Lyme Disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, she understands what is is like to literally dig oneself out of chronic illness to a point not only of surviving but thriving.  She built her medical practice through sweat, tears and love from the ground up. It is now one of the top 4% of all businesses in the United States. She is passionate about delivering high quality and high touch medical service to those in her practice as well as coaching female entrepreneurs how to build a business that they love to run and does not “run” them.  In this episode, Dr. Diane speaks about her pain-to-purpose story with irritable bowel syndrome, mold sickness, and Lyme Disease. She dives into how mold can weaken your immune system and decrease your body’s ability to fight off infections. If you think you have a mold problem, Dr. Diane explains precisely what you need to do next and how to determine how bad the issue really could be. Tune in as we chat about the problem with toxins in your body, how emotions impact your physical health, and what you need to know about testing for Lyme Disease.  Use Your Mind to Heal Your Mold and Lyme: A Survivor's Guide: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Mind-Heal-Mold-Lyme-ebook/dp/B0917SF93L/benazadi-20 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 7 day keto challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

[00:55] Dr. Diane Speaks About Her Pain-To-Purpose Story With IBS and Mold Sickness Dr. Diane had IBS at a very young age. She would go up to two weeks without having a bowel movement. Ultimately, the IBS component was what got Dr. Diane into naturopathic medical school as far as her interest. Mold is so misunderstood in the chronic infection world.  Sometimes, Dr. Diane would have to be carried because she couldn’t walk, she would forget where she lived, and had crazy numbness in her hands.  There is a lot of misinformation out there about healing from mold and Lyme.  [05:15] What You Should Know About Mold Illness and Your Immune System Mold illness is a genetic anomaly where our immune system is not able to recognize mold toxins.  There will be symptoms when we breathe in mold toxins, and our immune system won’t remove the toxins.  Smelling mold is an easy way to know it’s there. If you can smell mold, it’s a positive test.  It’s estimated that up to 50% of the buildings in the United States have water damage.  [08:10] Signs of Mold Illness Include Pain, Chronic Fatigue, and Brain Fog Mold illness will result in pain of some level.  Chronic fatigue is another prominent symptom of mold sickness. Also, many people will have brain fog if they suffer from mold sickness.  All sorts of other things can happen because the nervous system is so dysregulated.  Mold will also affect the digestive tract.  [15:05] The First Thing You Need To Know Is How Much Mold You Have Do you think you have mold in your home?  The biggest thing is to understand if you have mold is how much you have. If the mold quantity is high enough, you will have to move.  It’s almost impossible to get well in a house with severe mold.  It’s important to remember when you start to detox, you will probably feel worse. [21:45] Testing Information: How To Know If You Have Lyme Disease Lyme is ubiquitous everywhere. So, even if you don’t live in the northeast, you are still susceptible to this disease.  Lyme can trigger autoimmune disease.  Dr. Diane likes to use Vibrant Wellness when testing for Lyme. Check them out here: https://www.vibrant-wellness.com/ Dr. Diane says there is a substantial amount of false positives for many Lyme tests - so make sure your test results are accurate.  If you need help getting tested for Lyme, reach out to Dr. Diane here: https://drdianemueller.com/ [35:25] Harmful Toxins Can Impact Your Health In Many Different Ways Toxins have a massive impact on brain fog and the nervous system. Also, toxins impact the gut and fungal infections.  Plus, toxins will affect the kidneys and cause kidney inflammation.  Breast implants can also be a source of mold, metals, and toxins.  [42:30] How Do Thoughts and Emotions Affect Health? We have 60,000 thoughts every single day.  To heal from Lyme, we need to work on the mind.  Our subconscious thoughts are secreting cortisol and adrenaline.  Dr. Diane recommends staying away from anti-anxiety medications. Instead, you need to get to the root cause of those thoughts.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, a holistic biological nutritionist and medical intuitive, Kelly Kennedy. Kelly's studies began more traditionally as a pre-med student at Cornell University, where she received a biology degree. Her father passed away from Hodgkin's disease when she was just 20. That same year, a car accident left her in chronic pain, emotionally drained, and her life in upheaval.​ After three years of succumbing to the contemporary allopathic paradigm without results, Kelly finally sought a different approach - BioRegulatory medicine - which permanently relieved her pain. Kelly knew she had found the answers she was seeking; she began working with Ian Kennedy, and a skilled, passionate practitioner was born. Today, Kelly is the Executive Director of The True Wellness Center in Pennsylvania and serves on the Board of Advisors of the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute.​ In a world facing health challenges of epidemic proportions, Kelly will not rest until "bioregulatory" becomes a household word. In this episode, Kelly Kennedy dives into her healing journey. After a nasty car accident and her father’s untimely passing, Kelly went through hell and back to heal her body, mind, and spirit. To heal, Kelly needed to come to terms with her emotional turmoil. The critical component is the ability to “be.” Also, Kelly explores the issues with having scars and the importance of understanding our fascia. Stay tuned as we talk about why you should have an actual armpit and the correct way to dry brush.

The same year, Kelly’s dad died from massive health complications. Eventually, Kelly found a company that used herbal supplements to treat her pain. Plus, she found a doctor who treated her pain with energy. It turns out, Kelly’s pain stemmed from her dad’s death. Now, Kelly has a better lifeforce through the healing process. “There is such a beauty to realizing that we have the power to heal inside of us.” – Kelly Kennedy [17:40] The Issues With Having Scars Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue surrounding and holding every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. If you pick up a chicken to cook it, you'll see fascia underneath the skin. The fascia holds everything together. It’s the secondary nervous system because it is in complete communication with the skin and the fluid. The liquid inside our fascia is blood and lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic fluid is the space between our cells. If the fascia is tight, then the lymphatic fluid can’t flow properly. When the fascia snags, it creates a scar. “Blood follows where energy goes.” -Kelly Kennedy Use scar therapy to get the blood flowing again. [31:10] The Ways We Can Fine-Tune Our Emotions Since the car accident, Kelly realized that nothing is a mistake. The hardest thing for Kelly to do is to “be.” When we are still, all the thoughts come in. The pain will come back when we have unsettling thoughts. Most of us are not in survival mode. It’s time to get into parasympathetic mode. Start letting things go. However, don’t do “work.” Just spend time with yourself in a quiet space. See what’s going on in your head. At the end of the day, no matter where you go or what you do, you’ll still have your thoughts. We need to clean our fears, worries, dreads, anger, and resentment. Instead, come from love. “The reality is we create our own reality.” – Kelly Kennedy [43:00] Why You Should Have An Armpit Everyone in the world should have an armpit. Some people are puffy where there should be an armpit - this is stagnant lymphatics. If you look swollen in your neck area, that’s a little bit of lymph fluid that’s swelling. Lymph fluid should be flowing like water. [47:00] How To Dry Brush    Open up your endpoints first. If your endpoints are shut down, then nothing can move through. Start from the head then move downward. Pump open your lymph. It should be light and gentle. Dry brush in your shower. Brush toward your heart. Go close first, then go farther out. For instance, start at your armpit, arm, then your wrist. Use the intention to bring it all into your heart. The whole process should take about five minutes. “Less is more with the lymph.” -Kelly Kennedy AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Steve Hendricks. He is a freelance reporter and author of, among other books, The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country, which made several best-of-the-year lists. He has written for Harper’s, Outside, Slate, and the Washington Post. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife, a professor of family law, and his dog, a border collie cross. In this episode, Steve speaks about the inspiration behind his book: The Oldest Cure In The World. He dives into everything fasting and all the long-term health benefits of this ancient practice. Steve explains the history of fasting and why it’s having such a dynamic resurgence. Even with the same calorie intake, the person who practices fasting will have better benefits than the person who eats throughout the day. Tune in as we chat about fasting during chemotherapy, why you shouldn’t skip breakfast, and the potential side effects of extended fasting.  Purchase Steve’s latest book, The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 7 day keto challenge: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Paleo Valley beef sticks, apple cider vinegar complex, organ meat complex & more.

[02:00] Steve’s Inspiration Behind Writing His Book: The Oldest Cure In The World Steve wrote two books about politics, then he wrote a book about fasting. He started fasting in his 30s; Steve is now 52. Steve loves fasting because it is an excellent weight loss and longevity tool.  Fasting has long-term health benefits, and you don’t feel hungry when fasting. When you burn fat, ketones will suppress your hunger hormones.  Get The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h [06:35] The Difference Between Cutting Calories Without Fasting vs. Cutting Calories With Fasting A 16-hour eating window is unhealthy no matter how many calories you are eating. When we narrow our feeding window, we can start to get real benefits and repairs. Our body is a self-healing machine; we have damage that our body always fixes.  When we give our bodies a break from digestion, then our bodies can increase the repairs of damaged cells. Remember, your body doesn’t start to ramp up repairs until six hours after your last meal. [11:30] Fasting Around The World: The Religious and Spiritual History of Fasting  Fasting existed in virtually every single culture.  3,000 years ago, fasting wasn’t for health. Instead, fasting was to appease the gods.  Fasting is excellent for physiological changes that put you in a more meditative state. An ancient physiologist said that for epilepsy, you should fast and exercise. Two thousand years later, we learned that fasting could cure childhood epilepsy.  Sadly, the medicine of fasting was washed out until the last 400 years.  Now, we know that fasting is a super powerful tool for health.  [24:40] The Reason You Need To Stop Skipping Breakfast Most people who practice daily fasting skip breakfast and eat at noon for the first time. However, our bodies do not want to process nutrients throughout the evening.  Our circadian rhythms have hardwired us to process food more efficiently earlier in the day.  In the later afternoon, we become much less efficient at processing food. By nighttime, we are terrible at processing food.  [37:10] What You Need To Know About Fasting and Cancer  When you fast, your cells reject external inputs.  During a fast, your healthy cells are protecting themselves.  Fasting during chemo treatment results in less nausea, less vomiting, fewer headaches, and less fatigue.  You can increase the dose of chemotherapy when the patient can tolerate it better.  Overall, you can give more chemo, kill cancer, and hurt the patient less during a fast.  [42:20] What Can Fasting Do For High Blood Pressure?  The American Heart Association says that high blood pressure cannot be cured. However, studies show that prolonged water fasting can reverse high blood pressure. In 10 days of water fasting, 80% of high blood pressure patients can achieve normal blood pressure and get off their medications.  People with the worst blood pressure had the best outcomes from water fasting.  [47:35] Productivity or Lack of Energy: Potential Side Effects During A Longer Fast  Many people find difficulty with long fasts when they are unhealthy. Fasting can result in skin rashes, nausea, headaches, and fatigue.  During a fast, you can become more contemplative or more productive.  Overall, there are many good and bad side effects that happen. During a prolonged fast, Steve would feel excellent and thoughtful. On other days, Steve would have no energy. AND MUCH MORE!
