Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN join the show. He is a product formulator and expert in performance nutrition, longevity, fitness, and supplementation. This episode originally aired on April 16th 2021. This is a re-release due to popular demand.  He earned his master’s degree from UNC-Chapel Hill, where he studied nutritional biochemistry with a minor in exercise science. Shawn is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes. On the road to being dubbed “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, Biohacktivitst, and Keto Authority, Shawn faced and overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical discs replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. They say everything happens for a reason, and in Shawn’s case, his health problems led him down a winding path that required him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking. In this episode, Shawn Wells opens the show by diving straight into his story. After finding his passion for supplements, Shawn went through massive ups and downs to get him where he is today. Eventually, Shawn found keto, and the rest is history! He reveals the common mistakes that people make when first trying keto. Of course, we dig deep into supplements and talk about one of Shawn's favorites – dihydroberberine; it's a total game-changer. Tune in as we chat about Shawn's book and the importance of "exercise snacks."

Shawn ended up getting really into supplements. He would take supplements, work out and see all these changes in his body. Eventually, Shawn realized he needs to chase his dreams of being a formulator and working with athletes. So, Shawn told his counselor about his new dreams – he laughed at Shawn. Later that night, Shawn almost committed suicide because his dreams had been totally crushed. Eventually, Shawn got into his dream school and pursued his goals despite what his counselor told him. During this work, Shawn’s autoimmune system exploded; he had loads of issues. However, Shawn found keto, and it changed his life forever. [16:15] Common Mistakes That People Make When Trying Keto A lot of people try dirty keto by drinking diet sodas and using artificial sweeteners. Making your own keto desserts is another mistake. Also, many people think they can eat out and still eat keto. Shawn says he would try and eat Burger King while following the keto diet. Eating too much protein can be a mistake for people. Instead, think about eating more fat. That way, you feel full faster. The higher your ketones get, the more you will struggle to eat. If women can’t get into ketosis, Shawn says to try a period of strict keto. Down the road, you can play with net carbs. [23:20] Why Dihydroberberine Is A Total Game-Changer For Anti-Aging Metformin is the most powerful anti-aging agent that we have ever seen. People have been taking it for twenty years. In 90 days, people's biomarkers looked like there was an improvement of two years of longevity after using metformin. Dihydroberberine is the active metabolite of berberine. It is five to ten times more bioavailable. It doesn’t have the GI distress that metformin has. Plus, dihydroberberine lasts twice as long in the plasma. For keto and anti-aging, dihydroberberine is powerful!

In Shawn’s book, The ENERGY Formula, there’s a story about the importance of self-love and community. Shawn uses the word biohacking because people connect with it. However, Shawn knows there is no quick fix. We need a solid foundation of self-love and community. Then, we can use things for resilience and optimization. Find more ways to fall in love with yourself. That way, you can find your greatest potential. Get The ENERGY Formula: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SCM7MHB/benazadi-20 [40:40] Shawn’s Favorite Benefits of “Exercise Snacks” (Sounds Great, Right?) Relationships are the number one predictor of longevity. Another predictor of longevity is grip strength. Take time to invest in your body. When you invest in your body, you have time for nutrition, meditation, and all these other things. A firm handshake will predict how long you live. The body in motion stays in motion. Find ways to exercise! Small exercises throughout the day have a greater impact on your health than one hour of exercise. Break up your periods of being sedentary with “exercise snacks.” AND MUCH MORE!

For a woman, you want to be between 5 and 7.  Going from a 5.1 to a 5.2 is a lot of work and a big difference.  If your number is below 5, your risk of aging and cancer increases [20:20] Stem Cell Patches To Reverse Your Age and Increase Muscle Mass Energy Enhancer patches will increase energy and endurance and reduce fatigue and muscle soreness.  X39 and X49 patches are great ways to activate your stem cells.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Jack Klauber. He is the Founder and CEO of Everyday Dose, a wellness-forward mushroom latte transforming morning routines. Jack regained control of his life for the first time, and now his mission is to create an accessible wellness program to help others. There are millions of stories like Jack. However, most people haven't yet decided how to break free. Everyday Dose will change that. Check out Everday Dose: https://club.everydaydose.com/ (use code: ketokamp) In this episode, Jack opens the show by revealing the inspiration behind Everyday Dose and how mushrooms have massively improved his health and wellbeing. Then, Jack explains how your coffee jitters could be genetic and why adding Everyday Dose products could be a game-changer for your morning. Everyday Dose combines mushrooms, collagen, and nootropics to activate dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Tune in as we chat about the benefits of lion's mane, chaga, and the Everyday Dose products. 💻 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.

At 25, Jack had high blood pressure, mood swings, and trouble sleeping.  So, Jack quit his Adderall cold turkey and started drinking coffee.  Eventually, Jack found mushrooms like lion’s mane and chaga were optimal for productivity and stress. [06:20] Coffee Jitters: How Genetics Are Linked To Caffeine Sensitivity  If you have the gene CYP1A2, you are sensitive to caffeine.  CYP1A2 means you are going to metabolize caffeine very slowly. If you have CYP1A2, you want to reduce the amount of caffeine that you have.  50% of Americans have the CYP1A2 gene.  [07:55] The Combined Effects of L-theanine and Caffeine For Sensitivity If you have the CYP1A2 gene, you can still drink caffeine, just not as much as you probably do now.  You can pair different ingredients with each other to have more synergistic effects.  Jack uses L-theanine in his Everyday Dose products. L-theanine mixed with caffeine will reduce your sensitivity to caffeine.  L-theanine gives you incredible energy and a calming effect.  [10:50] Lion’s Mane Helps Give Nutrients To The Brain and Fight Infections  Lion’s mane is an excellent source of beta-glucans.  Beta-glucans activate the immune cells and trigger a defense response so that you can fight viral infections. Also, many studies show that beta-glucans help fights cancer cells.  Few ingredients can cross the blood-brain barrier - lion’s mane can actually do it!  [12:40] About The Health Benefits of Chaga Mushrooms  Chaga is the antiviral king.  Also, Chaga has been shown to help stop the spread of HIV and herpes in your body.  Chaga improves the body’s inflammatory response.  Plus, Chaga has been used to help with psoriasis and colitis.  [14:45] Why Everyday Dose Uses A Hot Water and Alcohol Extraction Process If a company is not doing an extraction process for their mushrooms, that’s a huge red flag. The extraction process is more expensive. So, many cheap mushroom products don’t use an extraction process.  At Everyday Dose, the mushrooms are double-extracted with hot water and alcohol.  A double-extraction process will draw compounds out of the mushrooms and make them more bioavailable.  [20:25] Everyday Dose Does Not Use Psychedelic Mushrooms In Their Products  Everyday Dose doesn’t use psychedelic mushrooms. However, the mushrooms in Everyday Dose will help protect your mind and body.  If you take mushrooms with psilocybin, they will make you hallucinate.  When you take psychedelic mushrooms, it makes you think about the inner workings of your mind.  [26:25] Benefits From Everyday Dose Include Focus, Energy, and Weight Loss People report laser focus, energy, and weight loss with Everyday Dose. Everyday Dose is excellent for reducing stress and anxiety.  Also, when you drink less caffeine, your cortisol levels will decrease.  Glucose follows cortisol. So if you lower cortisol, you lower glucose and burn more fat. AND MUCH MORE!

Also, fasting is free and time-efficient. The whole world can do fasting; they just need to learn what it’s about. Fasting is this healing response that the world is catching on to now because it's as powerful a healing tool as sleep. Every religion disagrees on everything except fasting. Overall, fasting transforms people physically, spiritually, and emotionally.  The Importance of Having A Balance Between Feasting and Fasting  People need to understand that symptoms should be read and acknowledged. Women have three primary sex hormones that drive their behaviors, sleep, and mental state. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone need vastly different things. Fasting is a tool that should be used with proper feasting; you should be able to go in and out of ketosis. When feasting, remember to eat based on the season. No healthy culture ever stays on the same diet because they can't. Our genes and our microbiome are set up to change diets, whether it be weekly, monthly, or seasonally.  What Are The Health Benefits of Ketosis?  Your brain gets so many benefits from ketosis. Almost two-thirds of the population are experiencing cognitive decline. Your brain loves ketones. For decades, people have been put on a keto diet to fix neurodegenerative diseases. Ketones are a tool for regenerating the brain. With fasting and ketosis, you hit therapeutic levels that you can't hit, just being in ketosis. Your brain needs these ketones to heal. Plus, ketosis will change the microbiome and increase diversity. Lastly, ketosis will help turn off bad genes due to stressful living.  How Important Is Gratitude?  The most crucial fasting tool is gratitude. Every time you say thank you to someone, you are releasing oxytocin which brings down cortisol. When cortisol comes down, insulin is easier to regulate, and your sex hormones will be a piece of cake. If you don’t fix the cell, you won’t get well. Gratitude will decrease cellular inflammation. When your inflammation is reduced, your cellular function will increase, which will help you feel good. Overall, gratitude is a free tool that you can use!  What We Talked About: How does fasting improve your keto results?   Dr. Pompa shares a story about using fasting on a cancer patient  Why you need to have a feasting and fasting balance The best studies around fasting  What are the health benefits of ketosis?

No, pregnant women should not practice intermittent fasting. If you’re throwing up and you can’t eat, then in some sense, you are fasting. However, your number one priority should be nutrition. Find food that you don’t throw up. There are other tools that you can magnify once you are pregnant. For instance, you will pass down your microbiome to your child. So, you need to understand what supports a healthy microbiome. Pregnancy is an excellent time for fermented foods. Also, keep in mind what you are putting on your skin; make sure all your products are very clean. Overall, there are tons to unpack for the pregnant woman to have a healthy pregnancy, and fasting is not the tool you want to be leaning into. How Often Should You Check Your Ketone Levels? Ben doesn’t check his ketone levels because he has been doing keto since 2013. So, he knows when he is in ketosis vs. when he’s not in ketosis. When you’re starting keto, it can be a valuable tool to know whether or not you are genuinely in ketosis. Many people will test their urine because it is the cheapest option; however, urine testing is not the best. When your cells use ketones, they will not spill out in your urine. While on the other hand, breath meters are hit or miss. Ben recommends Biosense if you are interested in testing your ketones through breath. https://mybiosense.com/ All in all, a blood ketone test will give you glucose and ketones levels. If you’re 0.5 or higher, then you are in ketosis. Test your ketones for a month or two. Eventually, you won’t need to test anymore.    Keto vs. Carnivore: Which Diet Is Best For You?    Carnivore is technically keto because when you’re doing carnivore, you are in ketosis. Both diets are good options, but Ben says to try keto first. Keto is low carb, but it’s not zero carbs like a carnivore diet. If you go from 150 grams of carbs to zero, that’s going to feel challenging. However, going from keto to carnivore isn’t as challenging for you. Many people have naturally started carnivore diets because they plateaued on keto. Carnivore can be a great natural transition to try something new and change things up for your body. We don’t need motivation; instead, we need momentum. All in all, carnivore can be an accessible version of keto if you want something simple to do. Intermittent Fasting: Is It Safe For Your Children?  Fasting isn't a fad; fasting is a primal way our body approaches food. Children live in a human body and have the same primal need to go through periods without food. Sadly, we beat that sense out of them. We tell kids to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then, they aren't allowed to eat after dinner. Dr. Mindy says to watch the natural rhythms of your children's hunger levels. Do they wake up happy, or do they wake up crazy hungry? If they're happy, you can easily go an hour or two before feeding them. Make sure you are learning their natural rhythms. We need to tap into our children's natural time-restricted eating. Overall, don't push food on them when they may not be hungry.  Should You Do Keto If You Don’t Have A Gallbladder? Gallbladder removal surgery is one of the top surgeries in the United States. Many people think that the gallbladder is what produces bile to break down fat and detoxify. In reality, the gallbladder is more of a storage house for the bile. The liver produces bile. Bile is a beautiful green substance that helps you break down fat and detoxify. If you don’t have a gallbladder and you start to do keto, the liver needs to make up for the absence of the gallbladder. If your liver can’t keep up with the fat, that’s where issues will occur. You may experience diarrhea and stomach issues. So, you must go low and slow and eat small and frequent meals. Eventually, your liver will adapt so you can do regular keto and intermittent fasting.  Check out Dr. Mindy’s Website: https://drmindypelz.com Follow Dr. Mindy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmindypelz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drmindypelz YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrMindyPelz/featured Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/drmindypelz/ Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com (1 spot left!) / / 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.

She is an intimacy expert to millions. One of Susan’s focuses is turning sex into making love.  Plus, she stands for ageless sexuality.  Sex techniques and bedroom communication skills will be critical to spicing up your bedroom life.  There are a lot of myths and misunderstandings around our sexuality and how it works. Until you understand the opposite sex, you are going to be treating your partner the way that you want to be treated. However, you should treat your partner the way they want to be treated.  [10:40] Libido, Desire, and Arousal: Improving Your Passionate Lovemaking  Sexuality is an extensive and vast subject matter. You can improve your passionate lovemaking by understanding the differences between libido, desire, and arousal.  Libido is your lust for sex.  Desire is your self-worth and body image; do you feel desirable and do you desire your partner?  Arousal has to do with the human operating system.  The entire vulva can be activated to be as orgasmic as the tip of the clitoris. A good lover can expand the pleasure palette in the whole vulva.  Men should be chronically horny and have erections when they wake up. [23:20] The Love Chemical: How The Hormone Oxytocin Is Related To Sex Oxytocin is a hormone, and it’s generated by touch.  Birthing mothers emit oxytocin to bond their babies to them when the baby is born. Oxytocin is often called the love chemical and the bonding molecule.  Also, oxytocin gives you empathy and makes you like people better.  You can get more oxytocin through food, supplements, and touching.  [34:30] Regulate Blood Flow Throughout Your Body With Nitric Oxide  Nitric oxide is the gaseous signaling molecule that tells your vascular system to squeeze or relax and to send the blood where it needs to go.  Squeezing and relaxing begin to get brittle as you age from atherosclerosis or clogged arteries.  If you have clogged arteries and low nitric oxide production, then there will be sexual problems. You need leafy green vegetables, beetroot, cabbage, dill, arugula, romaine, and spinach shard.  Susan recommends taking FLOW. It is a blood flow supplement made from organic fruits and vegetables.  [45:20] The Very Best Sex Toys For Both Men and Women The first sex toy a woman needs is a Womanizer, an air stimulator.  The Womanizer does the sucking and blowing on the clitoral shaft and tip. Many women swear by the Womanizer as their favorite way to orgasm. Find Womanizer products here: https://www.womanizer.com/us/ The second sex toy is a vibrator. Susan recommends We-Vibe Tango: https://www.we-vibe.com/us/tango   Another vibrator to check out is AMO - Bullet Vibrator: https://www.hotoctopuss.com/sex-toys/female-sex-toys/amo-the-powerful-focused-bullet-vibrator/ KURVE is excellent for targeting your G-spot: https://www.hotoctopuss.com/sex-toys/female-sex-toys/kurve-vulva-female-luxury-gspot-vibrator Get precise G-spot stimulation with POCO: https://mysteryvibe.com/products/poco MANTA vibrating stroker for men: https://us.funfactory.com/products/manta AND MUCH MORE!

Who Can You Trust When It Comes To Experts In The Health Space?  If the person we're seeking to learn from uses derogatory language when speaking about those with whom they disagree, that is the sign of a petty person. Experts should have discussions politely and respectfully and acknowledge that there is room for disagreement. There ought to be a degree of skepticism that we apply to every authority. We should challenge that authority to some degree. There are people with Ph.D. degrees who we shouldn’t trust. Overall, we should always be on our own journey to understand what is accurate and true.  A Basic Understanding of Ketosis  Ketosis is the state where blood ketones are elevated, but pH is normal. Every human has some amount of ketones, even if it's below the detection level on commonly used devices. When you’re in ketosis, you will have a detectable level of ketones on a moderately used device and yet pH is not changing. Ketones have the potential to make the body more acidic. When someone's in ketosis, the amount of hydrogens coming off the ketone is relatively modest. Within the blood, there are numerous buffering mechanisms. That way, your body will defend its pH range. Overall, ketones are fat-burning products; when insulin is low, the body will burn fat at a high rate.  90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

Plus, ketones are signaling molecules. If a ketone is being used as a fuel, it will come to a cell. Then the ketone will get shuttled into the cell through an MCT (monocarboxylate transporter). When the mitochondria have a lot of pressure to be burning molecules, they get the signal that they need more mitochondria. Fatty acids can have the same effect. When a cell is burning a lot of fatty acids for fuel, it will start stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis.  Why The Laws of Thermodynamics Are Misleading Regarding Weight Loss People are producing ketones and breathing out ketones, and urinating them out. Remember, ketones have a caloric value. Calories matter, but don’t worry about them. Let the calories take care of themselves. Invoking the laws of thermodynamics in nutrition and human metabolism was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of human-relevant science. It absolutely misled us and made us demonize fat and embrace carbohydrates. Hormones matter at least as much as calories because hormones tell the body's cells what to do with the available calories.  The Problems With Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance  Metabolic syndrome used to be called insulin resistance syndrome. Insulin resistance is the single most common problem in the US and abroad. Plus, insulin resistance is relevant to virtually every chronic disease. Covid has only made metabolic problems worse. Luckily, keto and intermittent fasting can help lower insulin. Remember, there is no insulin resistance without elevated insulin. Lowering insulin is a perfect way to help the body become more sensitive to it. If no nutrients are coming into the blood, insulin starts running out of nutrients in the blood that it can store away. So, insulin comes down when nutrients aren’t coming into the blood. Fasting is the best way to lower your insulin and reverse metabolic syndrome.  Resources From This Episode:  HLTH Code Shakes: https://gethlth.com/?rfsn=5941390.8775c2 (use code “ketokamp”) Why We Get Sick: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Sick-Disease_and/dp/194883698X/benazadi-20 Dr. Bikman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benbikmanphd/ Dr. Bikman on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BenBikmanPhD Follow Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Get Keto Flex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YFM83DD/benazadi-20 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

Today, I am blessed to have Kristina Hess with me for the third time! Kristina is a premier health coach and licensed dietitian/nutritionist who works with clients to support them in making lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results. Keto Symposium: https://www.ketosymposium.com/ (use code: BEN10)  Kristina has a master’s degree in clinical nutrition and Integrative Health from MUIH - Maryland University for Integrative Health and several certifications in areas ranging from Mindful Eating, Heartmath, to Ericksonian Hypnosis to Sports Nutrition. Kristina received her health coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Kristina's integrative and functional approach is an arm within the Functional Medicine model of the IFM. Functional Medicine views us all as being different, genetically and biochemically unique. A functional approach is deeply science-based and views everything that happens within us as a connected network or web of relationships. Kristina's private practice in Connecticut is called Thrive Results Coaching. In this episode, Kristina joins the show to talk about the Keto Symposium - the first keto conference and expo in New York City. Then, Kristina dives into genes and how having genetic nutrition testing done can impact your lifestyle decisions. Kristina reveals her top three favorite keto diets and explains which is best for you, depending on your genetic makeup. Tune in as we chat about counting calories, time-restricted feeding, and the importance of experimenting with your lifestyle and diet.  Register for my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com (3 SPOTS LEFT!) / / 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.

If you are not getting the desired results, you may want to test your genes.  When you know what genes you have, you can empower what you are doing in your lifestyle.  [15:55] Time-Restricted Eating: Try Reducing Your Feeding Window For Weight Loss Results  You should be done eating by 7 pm each night. The earlier you eat, the more insulin sensitive you become, the better your metabolic health markers, and the more weight you lose.  If you struggle to lose weight, try eating breakfast and cutting your feeding window at 3 pm.  When you are stuck, pivoting your mealtime will be essential to get the desired results.  [30:20] The Top Three Keto Meal Plans That Can Work For You  Kristina recommends a Mediterranean-style keto diet with a focus on fish, olive oil, and lean protein, with some sheep and goat dairy.  The Mediterranean-style diet works best for people who have APOE variants.  Another keto diet that works well is paleo.  The paleo diet includes red meat, no dairy, a lot of eggs, bacon, squash, and sweet potatoes.  Lastly, a carnivore diet can work for you. This diet includes a lot of fatty protein!  [34:40] What You Need To Know About Genetic Nutrition Testing  The test is $360. Your kit will come to your house, and you will provide a sample of saliva. Then, mail the kit back, and you will have results in about a month.  Unfortunately, knowing what to do with the report is challenging once you have it. Luckily, Kristina will have a consult with you about your results!  Check out Kristina’s website to learn more: https://theketonutritionist.com/ [36:40] Is Counting Calories Good For Weight Loss?  Weight loss is not as simple as counting calories. For instance, your sleep will affect your caloric expenditure.  Also, gut health and mitochondrial health will change your caloric expenditure. The body is complex, beautiful, and intricate - counting calories doesn’t take that into consideration.  The most important thing to remember is to eat real foods instead of processed foods.  [43:00] Many People Don’t Even Know That They Are In Ketosis  Many very lean people out there are inadvertently in ketosis and then just have no idea. Lean people will bash the keto lifestyle without knowing whether they are in ketosis or not. If you struggle with your weight, then you need to work on getting into ketosis because your body is not naturally gravitating there.  Remember, keto is not a high-fat diet; keto is a metabolic process.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out The Keto Nutritionist: https://theketonutritionist.com Keto Symposium: https://www.ketosymposium.com/ (use code: BEN10)  Follow Kristina Hess Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinahessketonutritionist/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinahessketonutritionist/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-hess-cns-ldn-chc-15a1984/ Keto Kamp 104: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kristina-hess-ms-uncommon-benefits-of-ketones-the/id1470779784?i=1000465314376 Keto Kamp 305: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kristina-hess-health-complications-from-insulin-resistance/id1470779784?i=1000534204433 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 my upcoming 90 day detox program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com  / / 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.
