They are angry because they’re hungry.  Unfortunately, many calorie counters have an interest in punching someone who disagrees with them. These people will punch with their keyboards.  While some vegans are so vehement because of some type of trauma they experienced.  Then, keto people believe they can’t have any carbs.  People are doing anything they can think of to drive a wedge.  We need a group of people who are willing to be curious and experiment.   [10:10] Dave Loves Banning Trolls on Social Media Who Are Angry About Fasting  Dave has taught 70,000 people how to do intermittent fasting for free.  Check out the Fast This Way Challenge: https://daveasprey.com/fast-this-way-challenge/. People can go twenty-four hours without being hungry.  Dave bans people from his social media channels who are shrill, angry, and tiny-minded. When you ban angry people, you will be left with a peaceful space for inquiry and curiosity.  [13:10] Stop Consuming Omega-6 Oils! Two Years Later, Your Body Will Recover  There are things you do that make you weak, and things you do make you strong. The first thing you need to do is stop eating omega-6 oils: canola, soy, and corn.  Your cell membrane is actually a whole bunch of tiny droplets of fat. It changes composition based on what you eat. Once you cut the oils out and two years have gone by, half of your cell membranes will have turned over and been made out of more stable, healthier fats. If you put butter and MCT in your coffee, you won’t need as much of it after two years.  [18:25] Dave Gives Recommendations For Eating Out At Restaurants While Traveling  When eating at a restaurant, you must assume your food is being cooked in vegetable oil.  Dave is known for carrying grass-fed butter in his bag and whipping it out at restaurants.  When you travel, bring protein powder and amino acid powder.  When you’re out at a restaurant, you won’t have to worry about what to eat.  You can go 24 hours without eating, and you have protein powder if you need it.  Dave eats a lot of sushi; it’s clean food.  [26:15] Dave Gives His Thoughts on Fish Oil and Why You Should Never Overdo It You don’t want too much fish oil. There's plenty of evidence that small doses of fish oil are good for you.  Dave takes a gram a day. He weighs about 230 and is around 12% body fat. If you’re pregnant, you need to dose DHA heavily. Your body will store DHA in your butt and your thighs. It will preferentially donate that DHA to your baby. Remember, large doses of DHA are inflammatory, and your body can’t handle it.   [34:00] It’s Time To Cut Out Artificial Flavors and Remember That All Plants Are Not Your Friends We underestimate what glyphosate contamination and things like food colorings, dyes, and artificial flavors do to our brain and hunger hormones. You need to cut out artificial flavors and dyes.  Plants are not all your friends.  If you go outside and just take a bite of the first plant you see, you'll probably die or at least get hospitalized; plants are inherently toxic to us. Oxalic acid from kale and raw spinach is a major cause of kidney stones and gout.  Remember, different people have different sensitivities.  [38:35] Junk Light Is Impacting Your Health - Get TrueDark For Better Sleep The circadian clock that tells all your organs to work together simultaneously is set primarily by light.  That’s why Dave created TrueDark: Get True Dark glasses here: https://amzn.to/3NobA4g TrueDark wearers experience better concentration and deeper sleep when wearing their patented lenses.  His glasses will help with sleep quality, increased sleep length, increased focused performance, and decreased eye fatigue. [47:50] About Danger Coffee and The Importance of Remineralizing Your Body Everyone needs more trace minerals.  Regular coffee depletes your body of minerals and electrolytes, making you feel tired.  While on the other hand, Danger Coffee remineralizes your body with more than 50 trace minerals, nutrients, and electrolytes.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Matty Lansdown. As a scientist and nutrition consultant with a passion for sharing the truth, Matty started on Facebook Live ranting about Food Is Medicine and Nutritional Therapies, which soon moved to seminars, retreats, and conferences in front of thousands and is now accompanied by his growing podcast called “How To NOT Get Sick And Die.” The aim has always been: to have people feel like they’re in control of their health and empowered to take the necessary action! After ten years of study, research, and experimentation, Matty has worked to become a prolific voice in the health, nutrition, and diet space, including food is medicine, body detoxification, energy optimization, and weight loss.  To empower individuals to live their best life Matty deliver this scientific training through stories and metaphors that allow you to live a highly energetic life, increase your productivity, lose a few kilos in the process and do the things you used to without having to stare at the number on the scales. In this episode, Matty opens up the show by explaining what he learned from working at a cancer hospital. For one, Matty learned that lifestyle choices cause around 95% of cancers. That is one of the reasons why he is so passionate about nutrition, so Matty reveals why diet culture doesn’t work and how you can slowly begin to change your lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about awakening people to the power of government, ways to celebrate your wins, and how to enjoy your food guilt-free.

At university, Matty lived on beer, rice, pasta, and bread. Eventually, Matty got a job at a cancer hospital.  Matty learned that the World Health Organization said that 90 to 95% of cancers are due to diet, lifestyle, and tobacco.  At the time, only 5% of cancers were genetic.  Unfortunately, much of society doesn’t believe that lifestyle choices cause cancer. [17:50] Why Diet Culture Doesn’t Work and How To Do “One Tweak A Week” Some people have been on forty diets, and they are in a more unhealthy state than when they first began their journey.  You can’t solve deep problems during an eight-week course.  Matty says, “one tweak a week.” If you jump too far out of your comfort zone, your nervous system will think it’s unsafe and dangerous.  When you do one tweak a week, your new lifestyle will get built slowly over time. While on the other hand, when you go on a diet, you are supposed to do everything all at once.  [26:05] Making Long-Lasting Changes That Are Meaningful and Sustainable  Most people want everything to happen tomorrow; however, you need the maturity to understand that it is impossible. You will trick yourself into failing if you think everything will change tomorrow. If you do too much too fast, you will wear yourself out.  There is not enough space in 24 hours to live an unsustainable transformation. Make your tweak meaningful, but not too significant or too much change at one time.  [33:15] How Covid Is Awakening People To The Power of The Media and The Government  Melbourne is the most locked-down city on the planet.  It has been a lonely and challenging time in Melbourne. Matty noticed that Netflix had photoshopped masks onto their thumbnails during the pandemic.  Covid is awakening people to the power of the media and the fact that the news is a PR agency for the government.  Now, people are thinking about what belief systems have been embedded in their subconscious.  [37:00] Forming Your Own Identity By Challenging Your Ideas and Belief Systems Perpetually challenging the ideas in your head is a healthy way to start forming your own identity. We meet and eat with our friends and families, so we have the same relationships around food as we do with our loved ones.  Is your relationship with food one that you have, or is it one that has been embedded in you?  Anything is possible once you take control of your belief systems and your own decisions. [42:00] The Reason You Should Permit Yourself To Enjoy Something Guilt-Free Sometimes you can give yourself permission to enjoy chocolate and birthday cake. Once you finish the chocolate, you should return to the way you existed before. Remember, you don’t have to fall off the bandwagon and beat yourself up.  Foods that you enjoy don’t have to be eradicated forever.  If you choose to eat something unhealthy, make sure to have love and respect for yourself still.  [48:10] Accountability and Celebrations Are Essential For Your Journey  Have people in your life to keep you accountable for celebrations. It’s too easy to focus on the negative.  Instead, you need someone to remind you to celebrate.  If you don’t have time to enjoy the process, then what’s the point? When you celebrate small things, they become big things.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Matty’s Website: https://mattylansdown.com How To Not Get Sick And Die: https://player.whooshkaa.com/shows/how-to-not-get-sick-and-die Follow Matty Lansdown Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mattylansdown YouTube: ​​https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCztErJj0TNFzFl2dK7uHDSw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matty-lansdown-0bb76b61/ Intermittent Fasting for Optimal Health: https://www.facebook.com/groups/intermittentfastingforoptimalhealth/ Join the Busy Mum's Facebook Group: https://mattylansdown.com/BusyMothersFBgroup 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 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  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the Founder of The Energy Blueprint, Ari Whitten. He is an energy and fatigue specialist who focuses on taking an evidence-based approach to energy enhancement,  a nutrition, exercise, and natural health expert, and a #1 best-selling author.  He has been studying nutrition and holistic health for over two decades. He has a Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University in Kinesiology (specializing in fitness, nutrition, and health). He also has a background in exercise physiology and fitness and holds two advanced certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. In addition, he recently completed the three years of coursework for his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an education which rounds out all aspects – nutrition, fitness, and psychology – of his approach to optimal health. Ari is a tireless researcher who has obsessively devoted the last 20 years of his life to the pursuit of being on the cutting edge of the science of health and energy enhancement. For the last six years, he’s been working with many of the top scientists and physicians on the planet to develop the most comprehensive program in the world on the science of overcoming fatigue and increasing energy — The Energy Blueprint. In this episode, Ari first speaks about his Epstein Barr Virus diagnosis and how that took him down a rabbit hole of energy optimization. One way to improve chronic fatigue is by growing more mitochondria; Ari explains how this is possible. Then, Ari dives into melatonin and tips for fixing a circadian rhythm disruption. Tune in as we chat about the importance of hormetic stressors, Eat For Energy, and Ari’s products from The Energy Blueprint.  Purchase Ari’s new book Eat For Energy here: https://bit.ly/3Fka6VB Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Unfortunately, Ari got very sick with Epstein Barr Virus and mononucleosis in his mid-twenties. He lost about thirty-five pounds in the span of a month; he couldn’t eat because the back of his throat was so swollen.  Ari was left with chronic fatigue; it shifted his entire life.  So, Ari started to focus on the world of energy optimization; he became obsessed with energy science. Conventional medical doctors had no information to offer Ari.  After doing research, Ari found that science actually does not support the idea that adrenal fatigue is a significant cause of chronic fatigue. Well, Ari realized that no one truly understands what is causing fatigue.  [08:45] The Key To Overcoming Fatigue Is Growing More Mitochondria  Finding ways to grow more mitochondria and strengthen your mitochondria is a massive key to the puzzle of overcoming fatigue.  The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.  We are taught to think of mitochondria as these mindless energy generators. Something you may not know is the mitochondria have a dual role beyond energy production, which is just as important as their role in energy production.  The mitochondria also help with energy regulation.  Your energy levels are a function of the degree to which your mitochondria decide if you’re safe or if you’re under attack.  [17:50] Hormetic Stressors Will Make Your Mitochondria Bigger and Stronger  Hormetic stress is how a transient metabolic stressor works to stimulate beneficial adaptations that ultimately increase resilience and resistance in the face of a broad range of other stressors.  Basically, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  By exposing yourself to moderate stressors within your body's capacity, you make your body more robust and more resistant.  Hormetic stressors are vital for challenging our mitochondria and stimulating them in a way that makes them bigger and stronger. [27:30] Is Your Body Under Attack? Your Brain Will Create Sickness Behavior When cells are under attack, they shift all their resources to defense mode.  Cells will go into defense mode to protect themselves. They also go into defense mode as an evolutionary adaptive mechanism to help the body’s energy and resources be redirected towards defending against the threat. When we have lots of immune activation and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, the brain responds by also creating sickness behavior, which includes fatigue. When your brain creates sickness behavior, it protects you from over-expending energy and depleting resources.  [42:40] The Importance of Melatonin: What You Need To Know You get 50 to 70 percent suppression of melatonin secretion by the brain in the evenings due to simply being in a typical home under standard indoor home lighting.  Melatonin is a vital hormone for protecting your mitochondria and protecting your brain’s neurons.  If you're chronically suppressing melatonin at the cellular level, you will have chronic melatonin deficiency.  Sadly, melatonin doesn’t get the respect that it deserves.  [1:05:15] Ari Is Hypersensitive To Melatonin Supplements - Are You?  Ari is hypersensitive to melatonin if he takes it in supplement form.

We dive into Dr. Perlmutter’s latest book, Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health. He explains why high uric acid levels are dangerous to your health and what you can do to fix them. Tune in as we chat about tart cherries, coffee, and how poor stress management can lead to higher uric acid levels.  Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.  There’s a relationship between these diseases and uric acid.  Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance.  [19:30] Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism   We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors. We don't hibernate for six months. Therefore, we don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes.  88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Getting Covid is associated with a 40 to 60% increased risk of type two diabetes. Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid.  [25:10] Your Body Can’t Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time.  When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do.  When fructose is delivered in the context of fiber, it slows the absorption. So, it’s better to eat an apple than drink apple juice.  Vitamin C aids in uric acid excretion.  The most common way to overdo fructose consumption is by drinking fruit juice.  A 12-ounce glass of orange juice might have 30 grams of sugar. There's no way the body will be able to deal with that appropriately.  [35:30] Tart Cherries As A Remedy For Gout and Lowering Uric Acid Levels  Tart cherries have been researched for decades. Originally, tart cherries have been looked upon as a remedy for gout.  It has been noted that people who ate cherries would have fewer gout flare-ups.  Tart cherries are pretty darn effective in lowering uric acid levels.  [36:40] The Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee  Drinking coffee is associated with a dramatically lowered risk of Alzheimer's. Coffee is also associated with lower uric acid levels.  Plus, coffee reduces inflammation, upregulates antioxidant function, and improves detoxification in the body.  Also, coffee helps us grow new brain cells, no matter our age.  [41:45] The Relationship Between Animal-Based Protein and The Role of Uric Acid Fiber is so essential for human health. Most of Dr. Perlmutter’s food is plant-based.  Regarding our uric acid story, certain meats or animal products are worse than others. Organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and scallops can raise your uric acid levels.  The most significant issues for uric acid are fructose, purines, and alcohol.  [48:20] Should I Follow A Ketogenic Lifestyle If I Have Gout Attacks?  The most significant player in gout is fructose.  When you research how to fix gout, there will be no talk about removing sugar or fructose from your diet.  The human requirement for sugar in our diets is zero grams per day.  We subsidize the growth of corn from which high fructose corn syrup comes from. We are supporting the diseases that are sucking up our healthcare resources. Diseases are significant money makers for the healthcare industry.  It’s time we start thinking about prevention.  [52:25] What Role Does Mental-Emotional Stress Play With Uric Acid Levels? When we are experiencing stress, our ability to make rational, forward-thinking decisions is compromised. When your decision-making is compromised, you won’t be making good lifestyle choices.  Therefore, under stress, you will eat more foods that have sugar.  Eventually, you will raise uric acid levels and feed the flame of poor metabolic health. It is time to make better decisions by lowering your stress levels.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. David Perlmutter’s Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Follow Dr. Perlmutter  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidPerlmutterMd Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidPerlmutterMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Get Dr. Perlmutter’s Books: https://www.drperlmutter.com/learn/books/ Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/0316485136/benazadi-20 Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health: Uric Acid testing device: https://amzn.to/3yjeP8Q https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Acid-Surprising-Controlling-Extraordinary/dp/0316315397/benazadi-20 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 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Patrick K. Porter, Ph.D. He is an award-winning author, educator, consultant, entrepreneur, and speaker. With 20 years of experience operating the largest self-help franchise in the world, he has become a highly sought-after expert within the personal improvement industry, having sold over 3 million of his self-help products worldwide. Dr. Porter has been on the cutting edge of brainwave entrainment technology for 32 years. He was a co-developer of the MC2, the first personal light & sound brain training machine, voted “Best New Gadget of the Year” at the 1989 Consumer Electronics Show.  And his team was voted the “Best New Health APP” at 2019 Consumer Electronic Show.    He is the author of the award-winning bestseller, Awaken the Genius, Mind Technology for the 21st Century, which was awarded “Best How-To Book of 1994” by the North American Book Dealers Exchange.  Awaken the Genius is translated into four languages, and more than 150,000 copies have been sold globally.  He is also the author of Discover the Language of the Mind and Thrive in Overdrive, How to Navigate Your Overloaded Lifestyle, among others. In this episode, Dr. Porter speaks about how meditation helped him excel in both sports and academics as a child. Then, we dive into the importance of getting out in the sun and enjoying nature as much as possible. Dr. Porter explains how consistent stress can actually shrink your brain. Tune in as we dive into BrainTap, and Dr. Porter reveals how BrainTap will help you build neuroplasticity, overcome psychological phobias, improve HRV, and get better sleep.  15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Eventually, he began to visualize his grades.  Where you feed energy will expand.  [09:00] How Going Out In Nature and Enjoying The Sun Will Benefit Your Health  Our brain loves patterns.  If you’re used to watching the news every night, the subconscious will incorporate it into your dreams.  Our body needs the earth. Dr. Porter recommends checking out Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20. All of our cells get power from the sun. There are more mitochondria in your eyes than in other places in the body.  Your body will interact with the garden, trees, grass, and the Earth.  Nature will work in making your brain well, not the news.  [21:30] Cortisol and Adrenaline Hijack the Brain; Plus, Stress Shrinks The Brain  We're either in our thriving brain, or we're in our surviving brain. There is no middle ground.  If you have a hard time with PTSD, you will be in survival mode all the time.  Our brains don’t know how to flip the switch. We need ways to recover; you can’t just keep going and going.  One stressful year shrinks the brain three-quarters of an inch.  Our subconscious controls 95% of our biology.  [29:10] About BrainTap: The Mobile App and Wearable Headset Build Your Brain Fitness  15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721   With BrainTap, you start to turn on neurotransmitters' production, which happens in the gut.  During a BrainTap, you're bathing in this biological soup in the proper physiological state. Everything that happens to you happens through you.  Light brings energy to the brain.  Our ears take 25,000 pieces of information every second, and your eyes are actually 30% of your hearing.  The retinal flashing will keep your brain awake during BrainTap.  [35:35] To Build Neuroplasticity, You Need To Challenge The Brain  BrainTap will stress the brain, but it’s fun stress.  When listening to one voice, you can still listen to your internal dialogue. The brain only processes first attention. If your first attention is on your internal dialogue, it doesn’t matter what someone else says.  With BrainTap, there will be a voice in the right ear. Then, they do the same thing with the left ear. After three minutes, your brain will synchronize.  In order to build that neuroplasticity, you need to challenge the brain.  [41:30] How BrainTap Will Help You Overcome Psychological Fears   An allergy is a phobic response to the immune system. During fear, we are overproducing white marker cells. Psychological fear is creating physiological destruction to our bodies. Your psychology affects your immune system, and your biggest brain is in your gut.  BrainTap will get your gut, heart, and brain to communicate.  Overall, BrainTap will provide your mind and body with all the benefits of meditation without the disciplined effort. [47:35] Improving Your HRV and Getting Better Sleep With BrainTap  When you use BrainTap, you are going to see your HRV skyrocket.  If you're always in sympathetic drive, you will never have a good heart rate variability.  Getting good sleep is all about unwinding the sensory perception.  If you are struggling with sleep, getting more parasympathetic will be essential.  Two biohacks are free: sleeping and drinking good water.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Patrick Porter’s Website: https://drpatrickporter.com Follow Dr. Patrick Porter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PatrickPorter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporter Awaken the Genius: Mind Technology for the 21st Century: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Genius-Mind-Technology-Century/dp/0963761188/benazadi-20 Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20 15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721 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 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Owen Hemsath and Kali Moynihan. Owen was told that he had Stage 4 Terminal Cancer that was inoperable and should get his affairs in order. Since that diagnosis Owen has been on a journey to put his cancer in PERMANENT remission and has thus far shrunk his tumors by 30%! Learn more about Owen here: http://beatcancerwithme.com. Kali was also diagnosed with Stage 4 Terminal Cancer. Learn more about Kali by following her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithcancer/. In this episode, Owen and Kali open up about their inspiring stories. They both speak about having large tumors removed from their chest and eventually being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Later, they chat about what it’s like to follow conventional medicine vs. changing your lifestyle through fasting and keto. Tune in as they talk about the journey to metabolic flexibility, finding people who believe in your recovery, and the importance of strategy when it comes to remission.  Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Kali decided to do her own research, take control of her health, and be her advocate. Kali found out about her stage 4 cancer two months after having a baby.  It all started during Covid; Kali had chest pain and difficulty breathing. After going to the emergency room, the doctors found a tumor the size of an orange.  The tumor had ruptured, causing immense pain.  Eventually, Kali had her diaphragm removed and replaced with mesh. Plus, the doctors stripped her pleural lining and took a little bit of her right lung.  [14:30] Owen Speaks About His Story and Also Getting Diagnosed With Stage 4 Cancer Owen had a grapefruit-sized tumor in his chest.  He had surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Later, Owen shrunk his tumor 30% by fasting and eating a plant-based keto diet.  Through lifestyle changes, Owen was in a therapeutic process, changing his body’s chemistry to eat cancer while awake and thriving.  Eventually, Owen was diagnosed with stage four cancer.  The doctors told Owen that there was no hope; every single scan got worse. Owen was told he would only live two to five more years.  Down the road, Owen read the book How To Starve Cancer; it changed his life. Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Starve-Cancer-Jane-McLelland/dp/0951951734/benazadi-20 [27:00] Surround Yourself With Survivors and People Who Believe In Your Recovery Is your goal to use the doctor’s medicine, or is your goal to overcome your disease?  Owen’s doctors told them there was no chance. So, why would he do what the doctors told him to do? Instead, Owen wanted to follow people who believed he could overcome his diagnosis.  Instead, you should find a community of survivors, not statistics from doctors. When you surround yourself with survivors, you will be in a healthier place.  [28:15] Resources To Learn From On Your Journey To Recovery  Owen and Kali learned a lot from Dr. Nasha. Check out her work here: https://www.drnasha.com Also, get the book The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Approach-Cancer-Integrating-Bio-Individualized/dp/1603586865/benazadi-20 After surgery, Kali had high inflammation. Kali started following the keto diet and fasting; her inflammation went down tremendously.  Owen recommends listening to Radical Remission: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Remission-Surviving-Cancer-Against/dp/0062268740/benazadi-20 Something that Owen learned is that different cancers react to proteins differently.  [36:15] Be Careful With CT Scans - They Will Increase Your Secondary Risks  Getting two and a half CT scans per year dramatically increases your chance of secondary cancers. Owen brought this up to his doctor; she said he wouldn’t live that long anyway.  When you test fasting and keto, you have to get a scan and see what it did; you have to be strategic.  Remember, whenever you get a scan, you are increasing secondary risks.  Owen says that you should get an MRI; that way, you don’t get any radiation.  When you fast, you’ll be in deep autophagy. You have to know why you are doing these things.  Owen recommends Rayus: https://rayusradiology.com. [43:00] The Journey To Metabolic Flexibility Will Be Challenging - Remember Your ‘Why’  Kali is metabolically flexible.  Metabolic flexibility is complex, and it is not an easy path to navigate.  Finding health is a journey that you have to change all the time. If you’re struggling to commit to keto, just remember how good you feel when you do it.  Overall, your body can heal itself, and you can live a long and healthy life.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Heal With Cancer: https://www.healwithcancer.com Beat Cancer With Me: https://shor.by/CfvH Follow Beat Cancer With Me  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beatcancerwithme/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/owensjourneytoremission Twitter: https://twitter.com/owenvideo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEgk0lDf8rD15YbK2TJ19Cw Follow Heal With Cancer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithcancer/ How To Starve Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/How-Starve-Cancer-Jane-McLelland/dp/0951951734/benazadi-20 Dr. Nasha: https://www.drnasha.com The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Approach-Cancer-Integrating-Bio-Individualized/dp/1603586865/benazadi-20 Radical Remission: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Remission-Surviving-Cancer-Against/dp/0062268740/benazadi-20 Rayus: https://rayusradiology.com 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 Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Movie companies need their starlets to look a certain way. Vinnie would receive the call to get people into shape in three weeks. You can’t run off fourteen months of bad behavior. Instead, weight loss is all about diet. Vinnie knew that meat is a great way to lose weight, decrease inflammation, and feel better overall. Plus, meat is heart-healthy. Vinnie wrote the book Fitness Confidential; he didn’t want to put the word ketosis in the book. He knew the medical community would say he was trying to kill people.  [06:45] Why Vinnie Never Used The Word “Keto” In 2013, Vinnie heard about net carbs. It doesn’t work! If it worked, Vinnie would tell people to do it. Vinnie gives away his information for free – he has never charged for his information. So, why would he lie to anyone? Vinnie owns the rights to NSNG (no sugars, no grains). No one is certifying the word “keto.” You can take a bowl of sugar, wrap it up, and say it’s keto-certified. In reality, it’s not keto-certified because it’s not good for you. [12:15] Why Insulin Is Important If insulin is so bad, then why do people need it to live? Insulin is a hormone that we need to live. All hormones control mechanisms in our bodies. Insulin does a lot of things. It gets released to go down and cover sugar in our liver. When you eat a piece of fruit, the sugar gets to your liver. Then, the insulin will convert sugar into glucose and stores it around your body. In order to maintain homeostasis, we only have a couple of teaspoons in our blood. Sugar can’t go anywhere. So, our body will store it as fat though long-chain triglycerides. The long-chain triglycerides take a lot of work to break it down. When we eat too many carbs, you are getting an insulin load. It makes us insulin resistant. Then, we can end up type 2 diabetes. The key is to eat foods that are insulin friendly. [18:25] Can Fat Make You Fat? Yes, fat can you make you fat if you eat it in excess. However, fats aren’t going to make you eat in excess. For example, you can eat a whole bag of corn chips. Once you start eating them, you can’t stop. People who are obese can’t stop eating corn chips. While on the other hand, if you went to steakhouse, and you had a giant fatty steak. When you take the last bite and they bring you a second steak, you would bag it up and take it home. Why is that? With the Doritos, the hormones are pouring out. With the meat, you feel satiated. You are going to feel full on fatty things vs. carbs. [27:50] Drinking Too Much Heavy Cream Vinnie tells a story about one of his clients, Gabriella, who stopped losing weight. She had another thirty pounds to go. Gabriella would drink coffee with heavy cream in the morning and eggs. She explains the rest of her diet and it was all perfect. However, Gabriella was actually drinking 18 oz of heavy cream every morning. Even when you have too much fat, you may not get fat. However, it may prevent you from losing weight. [31:55] What’s Wrong With Calories In and Calories Out Exercise more and eat less. That’s challenging to do, and it doesn’t even work! Thirty minutes on treadmill, you might not even burn a bag of M&M’s. You can’t run off a bag of M&M’s. How are you going to burn off snacks and alcohol? If you run a car out of gas, you can’t expect it to keep running. You can’t run your body out of energy and think it’s going to keep running. Athletes can bonk in the middle of a race. So, how do you get your body fat-adapted? Once your body learns how to use fat as energy, it will do it right away. [37:50] The Inspiration behind FAT: A Documentary Vinnie has been doing a podcast for nine years about low carb. Everyone told Vinnie that he needs a movie. However, he didn’t have the money to make it. So, Vinnie did crowdfunding for the movie. He got over $260,000 to make the movie. On day two of FAT: A Documentary on iTunes, they were soaring up the charts. The next day, FAT: A Documentary was number one on iTunes. When they filmed the first movie, there was too much footage. During COVID, Vinnie used the extra footage to make Fat 2. Bonus! Vinnie is also working on part three. AND MUCH MORE!
