Tech CEO and drone innovator Tabb Firchau discusses how using wearable devices like a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and the Oura ring get his body more acclimated to burning fat for fuel. One advantage to becoming fat-adapted with the ketogenic diet is the ability to skip meals and not experience a blood sugar crash. This metabolic state can help you better navigate the sugary temptations of the holiday season and beyond. Watch the interview: http://bit.ly/2B91tyR This practice has helped him lose fat and build muscle, but—to his surprise—he’s more even-keeled when he’s managing his team of 70 employees at Freefly Systems, a maker of drones and camera stabilizers used in filming “Game of Thrones” or shoots for National Geographic and beyond. When Time magazine got wind that Tabb was using a “diabetes monitor” to improve workplace performance, they wrote a story about it. Here’s a link to the interview and the write-up that was in Time: I thought you might like this story of how a citizen scientist, like you, transformed his health and workplace performance with exercise and nutrition. 02:13 Tabb wanted to create aerial images of the world that hadn’t been seen before so he figured out how to shoot from drones.

Mind Pump's Adam Schafer and Sal Di Stefano discussed why variation in our nutrition and workouts is key to health and aesthetics. Watch the interview and check out the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/209 More about this Episode: Muscle has recently been dubbed the organ of longevity. And since protein (by way of its amino acids) aids in muscle growth, we can’t get too much of it … But, not so fast. Per the work by pundits in the field Valter Longo and Ron Rosedale, we are reminded that protein spikes IGF-1, which can trigger cancer growth in certain people. Today’s muscle-bound fitness gurus are suggesting that we all ought to be a little more cautious about the amount of protein we consume. We Cycling carbs makes us more carb sensitive, so why should we not also cycle our protein? they ask. P.S. Learn how variety in your diet and macronutrients, such as protein, can give you health benefits. http://highintensityhealth.com/209 |

In this live replay, we discuss the oft forgotten role the liver plays offers those who embrace a low-carb, ketogenic style diet. But for many folks, especially those with environmental toxin overload or fatty liver (NASH), the liver’s compromised so thus can’t make ketones as effectively. We discuss the nuances and considerations in these applications one should follow. Watch the Video: http://highintensityhealth.com/208 Hope enjoy this video and ads some clarity to the conversation.

Patricia is a mother, practicing nutritionists, cancer survivor and advocate for the ketogenic diet and lifestyle. We discuss her journey of overcoming metastatic eye cancer. Check out the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/207 Here’s a few key time stamps: 05:56 It’s Not Just About the Fuel: Of course a ketogenic diet restricts sugar consumed by the cancer. There are other side effects like a reduction in angiogenesis, a major hallmark of cancer. The expanding blood vessels in her eye are no longer visible on scans, the tumor in the optic nerve is gone without leaving scar tissue and damage done by the traditional therapies have healed as well. 11:42 Insulinogenic Properties of Proteins: 17:06 Meal Frequency: Patricia was a grazer, but shifted to 3 meals. After this, she shifted to intermittent fasting. Her fasting window is generally 16 to 18 hours. 24:39 Carbs and Performance: 31:19 Menstrual Cycle and Keto-Adaptation: P 36:25 Tracking Sleep: 41:30 Tracking Ketones: TKI (glucose/ketone index) is comprised of glucose divided by ketones. When you are ketogenic for therapeutic reasons, you should ideally 2 or 1 and under. She finds that stress and sleep have a larger impact upon glucose levels than food. 43:06 The Power of Community: Community cancels out a lot of the negative effects of poor diet and lifestyle. Find your tribe. 4 5:20 Exogenous Ketones: 48:14 Ketosis Impact upon Chemotherapy or Radiation Therapy: 54:05 Ketogenic Diet, Another Tool in the Toolbox: 58:46 Patricia’s Favorite Herb or Botanical: B vitamins are her choice, since it is a personal struggle of hers. It would keep the energy up. 59:49 Patricia’s Morning Routine: Her kids are the focus of her morning. She does not look at her phone. After taking her children to school, she walks, listens to podcasts and does Tibetan yoga. At work, she tries to eat at about 11 or 12. 01:01:29 Patricia’s Elevator Speech: We need more money for research and we need to be faster at implementing the results of research. Focus on the science of the day rather than lobbyists.

Scientist and expert advocate in this space Dom D’Agastino articulates just how and why ketones affect the brain. (The real horse power behind ketosis is its brain-based impacts.) Though, this shouldn’t come as a surprise; the diet has been used as a last-chance therapy for epilepsy for the better part of 100 years. Check out the Show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/205 Watch the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZSf5OC3aOQ&list=PL0ovt_TbvVmYvrI48Tzs1vhe4o2eUn8qU&index=1 He explains how these metabolites that are made by our liver have far-reaching effects on brain function and neurotransmitter metabolism. Dom also discusses how ketones affect the immune system, cancer-cell metabolism and even heart health. It’s a fascinating and very detailed discussion. I think you’ll get a lot out of it. Key Takeaways: 01:38 One of Dr. D’Agostino’s early experiments lead to researchers developing and using ketones as a mitigation countermeasure to prevent oxygen toxicity seizures. |

Today’s guest, neurologist and sleep specialist Stasha Gominak, MD discusses how vitamin D (from the sun) is needed to improve the stability of gut bacteria, which in turn help synthesize B vitamins necessary to facilitate deep sleep. Not only that, the repairs that deep sleep offers also appear to be mediated by B vitamins made by gut bacteria, according to Dr. Gominak. She refers to these bugs as “B vitamin factories.” Check out the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/203 Watch the video interview: https://youtu.be/74F22bjBmqE (Psst … this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this. James Adams, PhD, reported similar findings from his lab at Arizona State University and discussed them during the Autism Intensive.) Also, Dr. Gominak reveals another interesting finding about sleep: the brain stem paralyzes us while we’re sleeping (not all at once, but it’s a pulsatile paralysis needed to repair our tissues). This is why nose breathing while you’re sleeping is super important (a topic we talk about a lot here). 02:29 Hundreds of Dr. Gominak’s patients, children, teenagers and young healthy females, didn’t have REM sleep.

Tamsin Lewis, MD draws on the possible connections linking ketosis and anorexia and how that may affect behavior and neurotransmitter changes from the voluntary starvation. We transition the conversation to fat adaptation, mitochondrial function and carb cycling for endurance athletes. Get the full show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/202 Join our member community: http://highintensityhealth.com/insider Key Takeaways: 02:28 Dr. Lewis’ Experience with Anorexia: She was diagnosed with anorexia at age 11. Anorexia’s focus is the control of food, which preoccupies one from other things that are happening. Perhaps the biochemical and neurotransmitter changes that result from starvation, force ketosis and effect the brain. Dr. Lewis’ mother called it her “anorexic high”. The massive energy restriction from starvation forces the body to get energy wherever it can, including stress hormones. Dr. Lewis believes that there is a genetic component to anorexia. It is on the continuum of anxiety disorders. component to anorexia. It is on the continuum of anxiety disorders.

Ketogenic diet advocate and scientist discusses why and how brown adipose tissue is healthy. Join our Insider Program: http://highintensityhealth.com/insider Until very recently, brown fat was dismissed as, ““….that stuff on the upper backs of babies that humans lose with age.” Now we know the methods through which adults can increase the quantity and activity of these protective fat cells. Dr. Ben Bikman shares his latest scientific findings in this field and the synergism between the ketogenic diet and brown adipose tissue activation. We also discuss the inverse relationship between insulin and ketone formation, which should add some clarity to the narrative around the use of exogenous ketone supplementation for fat loss. Here are a few key takeaways: 02:02 During PhD studies, he learned that insulin is the metabolic key. Now that he has his own lab, the relevance of insulin upon normal metabolic health is his area of study. 03:11 Insulin is needed to Grow Fat Cells. 03:35 Distortion of the Fat Cell 05:59 As we grow larger fat cells and we reach 150% of what is ideal for our bodies, we start making new fat cells. As someone loses weight, they will not reduce the number of fat cells. They shrink the size of their existing cells. 07:14 Triglycerides are Not Relevant to Insulin Resistance 09:34 Muscle is Our Biggest Glucose Sink 10:35 Insulin is a Factor in Inflammation 12:08 Exercise is Important, but Diet is Critical 13:45 Toxic Lipids Cause Mitochondrial Alterations 15:39 Brown Adipose Tissue and an Uncoupling Protein 18:39 When Brown Fat Cells are Exposed to Insulin, Their Metabolic Rate Will go Down by about Half. 19:38 When our White Fat is Exposed to Ketones, Our Fat Goes from Storing to Wasting. 20:34 The Evolutionary Benefit of Ketones Inducing Wasting: Perhaps the conversion of white fat into heat burning instigated by ketones was meant for heat production. Our bodies act protectively. Evolutionarily, ketogenic diets would be seasonal. 24:55 Cold Thermogenesis to Activate Brown Fat: Constant cold exposure, to the point where you are shivering, works to activate brown fat. Ice baths and genuine cold exposure does this as well. 27:31 You Can Alter Your Metabolic Rate 30:24 Benefits of Low Insulin 32:46 We Need Insulin: It is necessary for normal mitochondrial function. Eating a healthy low carb diet will give you enough insulin variability. We want to keep insulin normal. 25:16 Time Restricted Feeding and Fasting to Trigger Beiging 28:05 We are All Insulin Resistant First Thing in the Morning 39:01 The Effect of Protein and Carbs on Insulin: If you are insulin resistant, you will get a huge long lasting fat storage spike from eating something like a bagel, as opposed to the quick bump for someone who is insulin sensitive. 41:45 Speculation that Exogenous Ketones Turn to Fat when Insulin is high 46:34 Dr. Bikman’s Morning Routine 48:08 Dr. Bikman’s Favorite Exercise is the Deadlift 49:09 Dr. Bikman’s Desert Island Herb, Nutrient or Botanical: He would bring cow liver, which is packed with mitochondria. We do not adopt the mitochondria of the meat we eat, but we can get the building block components of the mitochondria. 51:06 Dr. Bikman’s Elevator Pitch: Stop emphasizing a high carbohydrate/low fat diet. 51:36 Don’t Worry about Gluconeogenesis Join our Insider Program: http://highintensityhealth.com/insider

It seems that everyone is talking about burning fat and become becoming more fat fat-adapted nowadays. But nutritional therapist and avid strength training athlete, Emily Schromm reminds us about an often often-neglected aspect to healthily burning more fat for fuel: digestion. Access the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/199-2 New to Keto? Start Here: http://highintensityhealth.com/keto-lean-ecourse-rsvp If the pancreas and gal bladder and are stagnant from years of eating processed fats and poor digestion, ‘burning fat for fuel’ will be … …..well, difficult. Emily explores that practical ways on how to assess and test your fat -digestion and natural remedies to improve them. We finish off the discussion with strategies and methods on how to use weight training to improve body composition. You can expect to learn more about: 00:28 The Pancreas’ Challenge from Keto/Low Carb 02:09 The Role of the Pancreas in Digestion: Once your stomach passes through food, your pancreas releases enzymes. It signals our bodies to begin the breakdown of fat. Bile is released. 03:10 Assessing Pancreatic Function: If you are eating high fat, but you still have headaches, dry skin, inflammation, healing slowly, and/or chronic injury, maybe you are not digesting the fat you consume. 04:07 Palpate the Abdomen to Find Gut Trauma 06:00 Heal the Gut First: Find the source of your digestive issue. 08:35 Supplements that Support Your Pancreas 09:30 Low Stomach Acid: Low stomach acid can come from zinc deficiency or not being in a parasympathetic state. Emily rubs calming essential oils on her vagal nerve. 12:19 Liver and Gallbladder: We all need liver support because of our toxin exposure. Emily uses a glutathione cream for liver support. Gallbladder problems can stem from quickly going from a low fat diet to a higher fat diet, gallbladder removal or poorly functioning gallbladder. 13:50 Look to the Liver: The need for long term gallbladder support may actually be an issue with the liver. 18:00 Carbohydrate Cycling: Emily is an athlete and has tested carbohydrate cycling and uses it. 21:41 Keto Adaptation: Men vs Women Access the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/199-2 New to Keto?

A common question we get by many of our Keto Lean MasterClass members is: what should my macros and calories be on a ketogenic diet? (Even doctors I meet with frequently ask me, “how many calories are in that ______?” during meetings discussion nutrition.) So on Saturday I recorded this bonus YouTube live video to discuss why calories don’t matter (as much) while on a ketogenic diet. Check out the full video and show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/199 In this bonus episode, you’ll learn why gut bacteria and the hormone effect of the food you eat is much more important than the macros the meal contains.) Additionally, we’ll discuss Dr. Ben Bikman’s model dubbed the Metabolic Advantage associated with the Ketogenic diet. Last but not least, we’ll discuss why cutting your calories can backfire, slowing down your resting metabolic rate and decreasing free thyroid hormone levels. (Essentially this is how excess energy from ketones can be lost via the breath and urine, making calorie counting obsolete.)

Lately, we’ve been hearing more about the benefits of a high-fat diet, which seems to fly in the face of conventional thinking that “low fat is healthy.” But fat is not the only nutrient that’s being vindicated; salt is following fat’s trajectory. Here's the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/193 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/eTr3S2Bqlow?list=PL0ovt_TbvVmYvrI48Tzs1vhe4o2eUn8qU Even though humans have been using salt to preserve foods for thousands of years, mainstream medical and dietetics professionals want you to avoid it. The thinking goes that too much salt raises your blood pressure and leads to cardiovascular complications. But, sought-after cardiovascular scientist and researcher Dr. James DiNicolantonio may set the record straight on salt. He discusses how the nutrient gets widely depleted from alcohol and coffee consumption, and even healthy activities like exercise and sauna use.

In both you typically lose muscle tissue and body weight. You can have sarcopenia or cachexia, but be obese. Inflammation can play a role in sarcopenia. 29:42 Chronic Stressors: Exercise, not done in the extreme) 35:52 Beneficial Growth Signals: 36:59 Categories Therapies for Cancer Cachexia: These include nutritional therapies and appetite stimulators, like anti-anorexics. Other categories include anti-inflammatories and anabolic agents. 37:24 Nutritional Therapies: The goal of nutritional therapies and appetite stimulators is to eat more calories. Generally, you are not salvaging the muscle, nor are you growing muscle. When you over-consume food in a cachexic (or normal) state, you grow a disproportionate amount of adipose tissue. 39:03 Anti-Anorexic Therapies: 40:52 Anti-Inflammatory Therapies: 44:41 Anabolic Agents: Leucine is a nutritional anabolic agent which can stimulate muscle protein synthesis. BCAAs over periods of time can induce muscle growth. Stimulating muscle protein synthesis, the synthesis of new muscle, may have an anabolic role. 53:00 Caloric Restriction: Caloric restriction has its place in potential anti-cancer therapies, but cachexia can cause death and is a co-morbidity. 56:20 SARMs for Hypertrophy: Andrew hesitates to recommend, since it has not gone through phase three trials. It is context dependent. 59:59 Low Carb vs Keto: Andrew is a type 1 diabetic and a low carb approach helps him to manage his blood sugar levels. Carbs have a place in performance. Andrew does powerlifting and has made personal records using both dietary approaches. 01:13:51 Andrew’s Elevator Speech: ➢ Download the show notes and watch the full interview: http://highintensityhealth.com/189 |

Dave Asprey discusses key highlights from his new book, Head Strong: http://amzn.to/2oyTcO4 A key theme we address herein is why dietary quality matters--especially for low-carb, high-fat (ketogenic) diets and the many ways to boost mitochondrial function for optimal brain health. Sign up for the April 22nd Autoimmune and Lyme Event with Drs. Richard Horowitz and Ken Bock http://highintensityhealth.com/events
Read the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/183 Key Takeaways: 02:23 Origins of Bulletproof Coffee: 04:15 Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting: Dave was an early adapter to intermittent fasting. 07:29 More Neurologic Resilience: Mitochondria take food, light and direct electrical current and convert them into electricity within you. 09:36 Ketones and Your DNA: To manufacture protein in your cells, like neurotransmitters, repair proteins and bone synthesis, you need to be able to read the DNA. It is easier for your body to read DNA in the presence of ketones. There is also a reduction in inflammation from ketones. 11:21 Combine the Ketogenic AND Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Many ketogenic diets include NutraSweet, a mitochondrial toxin. 17:05 Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators: Within the past 2 years Dave has increased his polyphenol intake and he has been using selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs). 24:25 Excess Cortisol: Excess cortisol negatively impacts mitochondrial function, causes weight gain and impedes muscle growth. 26:35 Mitochondria and Meditation: 30:13 The Power of Mitochondria: Mitochondria drive your emotions and behavior. They decide if a cell lives or dies. 34:42 Light’s Affect upon Mitochondrial Function: We have a deficiency of red light. We are too often exposed to blue light. O 49:15 Tracking Willpower: Willpower requires electrons, which requires fuel. Every decision you make costs you something. 50:02 Dave’s Work Routine: His calendar is booked every minute of every day for the time he has agreed to work. 51:26 Dave’s Challenge: He believes that one of the most important things is to have quality unstructured time. That allows for creativity. He would like to have two mornings a week where nothing is scheduled. 55:49 Training Intuition: Dave consciously trains his intuition. Neuro Minor software is designed to teach you what is going on in your brain when you are not paying attention. 58:00 Dave’s Favorite Superfood: Coffee is his choice. The caffeine from 3 to 5 cups of coffee can double your morning ketones. Coffee is also a rich source of polyphenols and it tastes good. 59:19 Dave’s Elevator Pitch: It is time to go after Monsanto.

A new theory is emerging in the world of cognitive decline: Alzheimer’s disease and dementia manifest from basic metabolic imbalances within the brain. The theory goes that the buildup of plaque deposits of the β-amyloid peptides in the Alzheimer’s brain may be due to too much insulin. This is because the enzyme that degrades the plaque could be too busy breaking down insulin—allowing for β-amyloid to build up. This may be why MCT oil (and the ketogenic diet) improves cognitive function in Alzheimer’s patients. Expert in the field and author of The Alzheimer's Antidote, Amy Berger, MS, CNS, explains more. Read the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/181 She discusses more about: 02:16 The Alzheimer’s Brain: In a significant variant of Alzheimer’s, neurons in a certain region in the brain lose the ability to use glucose efficiently as a fuel.
