Cancer researcher Eleanor Rogan, PhD, discusses the details about how your liver can transform your own hormones into cancer-causing compounds (AKA carcinogens).

Briefly, some of us have variable activities of important enzymes that metabolize estrogens in our liver.

Imbalances in these enzymes create “sticky estrogens” that can cause mutations in DNA which, over time, can lead to cancer.

Here are the full details:

Here are some important time stamps!

07:18 How estrogens become carcinogens

10:40 Higher levels of estrogen-DNA adducts in women with ovarian cancer

13:50 If your catechol-O-methyltransferase is not working well, your catechol estrogen can go on to become a quinone and react with DNA.

20:36 Why estrogen-DNA are analogous to taking a step off the DNA ladder

27:02 Men with prostate cancer have high levels of estrogen-DNA adducts.

About this Show: 

Is it a good or bad idea to continue with your regular intermittent fasting or prolonged fasting plan with an imminent viral scare abound?

We also discuss some interesting findings about how the drug Chloroquine affects the similar autophagy-related processes that are increased via fasting.

I certainly don’t have all the answers, but hope to simplify the known science to help you decide the best path to follow.

Here’s the video + research:

An exhausted immune system maybe to blame for severe COVID-19 disease states, says new research.

Biomarker data emerging from case reports suggest that immunosenescence (aged immune system) plays a role in the disease progression in those infected with COVID-19;

Since only 15% of subjects who test positive transition to this ‘severe’ disease state, we explore the hypothesis that perhaps immunosenescence is playing a roll.

Today’s show is brought to you by Redmond Real Salt, hand-harvested and microplastic free salt:

Scientists at Duke University have been studying how other mammals like bats are seemingly unaffected by coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV).

**This audio was stream live and is un-edited**

Link to associated studies: https://bit.ly/2JlM7ZW

When infected by the same viruses that land humans into the ICU and onto a ventilator, bats mount an early and robust initial immune response but don’t have the ongoing, exaggerated pro-inflammatory response that’s often fatal to us.

Translation: bats have a unique way to throttle down their immunity after an initial burst.

Here’s a video that’ll explain more: https://bit.ly/2JlM7ZW

In humans with severe COVID-19 illness, the characteristic cytokine storm (exaggerated, pro-inflammatory response) is thought to be the driving factor behind respiratory and organ failure leading to poor outcomes and non-survival.

Here are two reasons why you should care about this animal research:

• The immunological switch bats use to tame their inflammation is the NLRP3 inflammasome. This might sound familiar to you as ketones (BHB) have been shown to inhibit this signaling up.
• The interferon response (the early initial immune burst that helps bats) is reduced in individuals with nutrient deficiencies (namely vitamins A and D) and in type 2 diabetes. (This is one of the reasons behind the recent push to take vitamins A and D.)

Immune support is top of mind for many nowadays (and for good reason!). 

Thankfully, we have many easy-to-access strategies that we can bake into our lifestyle everyday to help support immunity now and down the road.

In this brief solo podcast we explore some of the published science and discuss how to incorporate these things into your lives.

After reading these recent pathology reports (which found extensive lung tissue damage even prior to the onset of any symptoms) I’ve become fascinated by this highly transmissible virus.

To help you better understand some oft overlooked details about this highly-transmissible virus and possibly better manage your risk, I’ve summarized this recently published research.

Keep in mind my physician friends in the trenches have informed me this SARS-Cov2 virus doesn’t discriminate--even otherwise healthy 30 somethings are affected and can have severe disease requiring significant ICU time.

That said, the published clinical characteristics show increased disease severity and mortality in older males and adults with cardiometabolic disease comorbidities.
If nothing else, I hope you find these findings interesting.

If there was a pill that reduced your stress, anxiety, blood pressure and feelings of burnout plus deepened your sleep, decreased your pain and shortened your learning time, would you take it?

What if this pill was also free of unwanted side effects and only cost approximately $170 per month?

If you captured the many benefits of float tanks into one pill, my guess is it would be the hottest-selling pill ever.

Float tanks, often referred to as a sensory deprivation tanks and formally known as restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST), has been scientifically studied since 1959.

You’ve probably driven by a float center on your commute, right?

Well, in 2017, when I discovered that Navy SEALs regularly use float tanks to compress the time it takes to learn a new language—six weeks with floating vs. six months without floating—I’ve been very intrigued.

Today’s guest and floatation therapy expert Sean McCormick dives into the science and the best strategies to get the most mileage out of float tank usage.

You can benefit from learning about:

- How athletes and high performers use float tanks to visualize themselves succeeding
- How floating changes your brain waves, making you more suggestible to positive affirmations and self-talk
- A Swedish scientific study on best float tank practices

About Today's Show: 

Certain “longevity experts” talk about how mTOR is an initiator for cancer and other diseases, so in seeking to avoid these diseases, folks should strive to avoid mTOR activation.

Naturally, the conversation will then lean towards avoiding protein and eating more plant-based foods.

The problem with this narrative is that it’s only half the story: plant-derived foods can stimulate mTOR just like animal foods can.

This new video may clear up the confusion and help you better understand the loads of confusion about mTOR, protein, cancer and other diseases.

New testing, aka the myDNAge test, reveals our “epigenetic aging clock” that’s been characterized by Dr. Steve Horvath. This test analyses methylation patterns on more than 2,000 gene regions.

So, while we’re all aging at the same chronological time, our biological age is variable based upon our diets and lifestyles.

In fact, Dr. Horvath recently published data showing how low-dose growth hormone DHEA combined with berberine can actually slow down biological aging.

Here’s the video review and link to the study:

We discuss more about:

-Age-associated inflammation or “inflammaging” (chronic, low-grade inflammation) as the reason why you age
-How this protocol enlarges the thymus gland, which has been shown to shrink with age
-DHEA and metformin as tools to slow down age-related changes in glucose metabolism

Personally, I’ve been a huge fan of both DHEA and berberine (which functions similarly to metformin) for a long time.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon says we should focus less on burning fat and more on building muscle and strength, is it protects us as we age.

05:57 European materials have more active ingredient. Chinese ingredients tend to have less active ingredient and more water.

06:55 Moisture and heat accelerate degradation. Keep the desiccant in your supplement bottle.

07:33 New packaging is being designed that builds the desiccant into the plastic of the bottle/vial.

09:53 Humidity and temperature control are key in manufacturing quality.

10:47 There are about 1,000 supplement manufacturers in the US and the number seems to double every year.

11:40 The FDA is shutting down small garage style shops with the 483 inspections. 

13:25 Finished product testing, does not include every ingredient on an ongoing basis.

16:40 FDA requires that identification testing and content/quality testing be done on any new component coming into the manufacturing facility. It is also required to do a full assay of the product at least 3 lots/year.

20:30 Residual solvents used in the extraction process of herbs are detected in testing.

21:06 Magnesium stearate is used to reduce friction and heat in manufacturing. Magnesium stearate is the most common fatty acid on the planet.

21.38 Natural fat is used to lubricate high speed machines. Friction must be reduced.

23:46 Controlling humidity for an entire facility adds about $50,000 per month to the cost of production.

27:25 The alu alu blister packs are aluminum with nitrogen shot between the layers. There is no air or moisture with the product, which is sealed away from the aluminum by plastic.  

28:49 HDPE bottles are better than a box, but not much. Glass is good, but humid air is introduced when the lid is removed.

31:15 If you have a product that is clumping or shrinking in a capsule, moisture has invaded and likely less than label claim in potency.

34:36 The shelf life for supplements is 2 years from manufacture. With probiotics or unstable products, shelf life is about 18 months to 2 years. Overage is added to compensate for die off.

36:06 MCT oil powder will have less fat than MCT oil.

38:44 Daniel makes his own pre and post-workout supplement powders fresh every day. He uses nootropics and caffeine to pre-workout.

43:27 Daniel has been low carb for about 3 years. He has more energy for CrossFit and endurance activities.

Thomas Cowan, MD shares compelling evidence that ‘charged water’ drives peripheral circulation and the heart’s job is to actually slow this down.

This discussion is super fascinating (and may challange your biases).

Book: Human Heart, Cosmic Heart by Cowan

Cancer and new biology of water: https://amzn.to/2IpNVBi

04:38 Filtering your water leaves water unstructured and demineralized. It needs to be remineralized and placed in a vortex to be restructured.
08:05 In the 1920s Rudolph Steiner said that the heart does not pump the blood.
12:15 Blood goes slower as it proceeds through the arteries until it gets to the capillaries where it stops, shimmies and gets going again.
16:07 Your heart does not have the force you would need to push blood through your blood vessels.
20:07 The motive for movement is at the level of the capillaries.
03:39 There are 4 phases of water. The water in cells is in a gel phase.
24:46 The gel layer of your cells is always negatively charged, which means it has separated the charges. There are positive charges in the water inside the cell. The positive ions/protons repel each other and start the water flowing.
26:50 Water cannot go up a tube more than 33 feet before the pressure of the weight of the water is too heavy.
27:30 Xylem tubes in plants are lined with hydrophilic proteins that separate the charges, shifting fluid using the same method as your body uses to move blood up your veins.
28:20 A vein is a thin walled tube with hydrophilic surfaces that creates a gel layer.
29:12 Muscle contraction in the legs is not a primary mover, though it is a contributor.
30:24 Your heart stops the blood. Incoming flow hits the cavity of the left ventricle which contains a valve. The heart holds the blood back a few milliseconds, converts the laminar flow into a vortex.
32:12 Your heart participates in the movement of the blood, but not because of a pushing of the walls. Movement comes from the movement of the blood.
33:07 The heart is like a hydraulic ram.
33:45 The efficiency of the hydraulic ram is about 70%. Only 70% comes out each cycle. A pump must always work at 100% efficiency. The efficiency of the heart is 70%.
35:06 Congestive heart failure is when the blood stops moving forward and only a small percentage comes out.
35:17 Since the heart is not pumping, the problem in congestive heart failure is insufficient flow.
36:22 Hypertension and hypertrophy are not the disease, they are the compensation response and therapy.
37:50 Flow is increased with sunlight, direct contact with the earth, good diet, and increased exercise.
38:50 Earthing/grounding causes you to absorb negative ions, a sort of energy source.
41:44 Our ability to make gels is destabilized by the insults of modern life.
42:54 The vortex of blood created by your heart is like a tornado. Vortex is the creative form of life.
44:12 We ignore life force in today’s science.
50:41 Any plant takes water and structures it.
53:55 The structuring of water occurs naturally through the interaction of blood vessels and the natural energy sources that are freely available to us.
54:48 The flow through a hydrophilic tube increases when you place your hand upon it.
01:04:11 The traditional way to eat vegetables is wild and perennial.
01:16:42 Dr. Cowan’s favorite morning activity is going right out to the garden and spending hours there.
01:18:18 Dr. Cowan’s desert island nutrient is eggs.
01:18:58 Dr. Cowan’s elevator pitch is that any form of coercion (ie: going to school, paying taxes, getting vaccinated) is the opposite of freedom.

Key Time Stamps: 

03:03 Steph has been doing keto since 2009. Her mother was going to die from glial blastoma cancer…but, with interventions like keto, she is still alive.
04:48 Steph is keto/carnivore. She is aware of the anti-nutrients in plant foods.
05:04 Steph had her clients use glucometers, track sleep and track digestive issues, starting long before it is popular.
05:59 Animal fats work better for her clients than plant fats.
06:47 She is the 200 grams of fat person. Increasing animal fats tended to increase ketones and her clients began to feel better.
08:06 Steph encourages her clients to avoid “fat bombs”. Instead they should add fat to bone broth, meat broth or fatty tea.
08:58 If you have an energy crisis, you should not be drinking coffee to get through your day. Steph has gotten thousands of people off coffee and they all have done better.
15:08 Steph used to be a pro vert skateboarder and had an accident with a disabling knee injury. She had 10 surgeries and was on crutches for 4 years. She didn’t skate for 18 years. She skates now, but adaptively due to her injuries.
20:01 Steph’s strategy is gym workouts, dietary measures, minimize stress, improve sleep quality and keto. Steph appreciates every physical gain.
21:10 Women need to get out of their head that they will get big bulky muscles.
21:59 You don’t need the gym. You can use body weight and calisthenics or things like it.
22:50 Work out with the posture of a ballerina to maximize gain.
23:38 Food entrains your circadian rhythm.
25:26 Fasting and keto often plays into the obsession to be thin.
28:51 It is important to address the issue that is prompting people to need to fast.
34:16 Steph coaches and has a course to teach people to do low carb/high fat the right way.
35:57 Steph’s desert island nutrient is liver. Everything you need to survive is in it. She eats it every day. Consuming kidney helps with histamine issues and leaky gut.

Check out the video interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx3F8IzBcMw

Key Takeaways: 

04:07 Bret invented the barbell hip thrust exercise, basically a pushup for the glutes.
05:05 Bret is on a quest for maximum understanding glutes, which lead him to a PhD in Sports Science.
08:09 Everyone has a weak muscle that does not respond well to training.
11:11 Glute activation is complicated and individual.
12:52 Published research on physiology is based upon averages.
15:57 Not every body was built to squat or deadlift or whatever, but there is a variation for you. If not, omit it. Pain inhibits muscle activation.
17:46 A study of 200 hips for hip flexion and range of motion showed that hip flexion range was 80 degrees and 140 degrees, a 60-degree spread. The hip extension spread was 5 degrees to 40 degrees.
20:21 Squatting deep is not a prerequisite for glute development.
24:51 Strengthened glutes result in increased activation by your body in movement.
28:41 Old healed injuries can still be perceived by the brain as a threat and pain can continue long after being healed.
29:47 Stretching and foam rolling, for the most part, works on the nervous system.
31:20 Visualization of the contraction of muscles is especially helpful in maintaining strength when recovering from an injury, by working on the nervous system.
32:45 You see better results when you visualize yourself in first person, not watching you do the movement.
50:32 You need a good strength coach who knows all the lifts to help you figure out your weak links.
51:33 No one hurts themselves with hip thrusts done properly.
55:25 In Bret’s experience, the gold standard coach is CSCS certification along with years of internship.
01:00:58 Your knowledge as a coach is a pie chart: 33% is experimental self-experience lifting/training, 33% comes from working with others from all walks of life, and 33% is reading, listening to podcasts, watching videos and attending conferences.
01:04:52 Men have better results by splitting leg day into 2 days: quad day with glutes and a hamstring day with glutes and interspersing this with 3 upper body days.
01:07:18 Women have better results with 3 full body days.
01:12:20 The hormone hypothesis (growth hormone, cortisol and testosterone) of weight lifting is pseudo-science.
01:14:08 Bret prefers dumb bells, body weight and bands for beginners over barbells.
01:16:35 Bret films new videos and writes new programs for his membership program every month.

Fasted- vs. fed-state exercise is a controversial topic amongst fitness and weight loss experts nowadays.

Check out the show notes:

https://highintensityhealth.com/263

Many folks find that exercising in a fasted state enhances fat loss and accelerates body composition changes.

But some experts say there’s really no additional fat loss benefit to fasted-state exercise—being in a calorie deficit matters most.

10 years ago, fitness celebrity Thomas DeLauer lost over 60 pounds and reclaimed his health from regular “fasted” exercise.

He’s biased in this respect, but he discusses some new science that may help you decide which path (fasted vs. fed exercise) is best for your health goals.

We also discuss:

- Targeted ketogenic dieting and carb cycling
- Tips to improve protein synthesis (muscle repair) in the post-workout period
- Preserving muscle mass by training while fasting (the hormones involved)

Key Timestamps:

10:47 Powerlifting is its purest form is the squat, bench press, deadlift done for one rep as heavy as you can possibly handle. In competition, you get 3 attempts to do this in front of judges. There is a specific type of form and cues that must be followed.
13:35 People should learn powerlifting so they learn to do the major lifts correctly. A good training partner or bodybuilding coach can show you as well, but that is not common.
16:08 Powerlifting requires time to develop and get momentum. Learn what a pump is supposed to feel like. Learn to contract your muscles. Learn the movements. Then you may be ready to move into more powerlifting.
17:19 The progress at the start of powerlifting is exciting, but a base of muscle must be built. Accessory movement, like bicep curls, are beneficial in building smaller muscle groups.
19:08 To find a coach, go to a powerlifting meet. Inquire there for a power gym. You’ll learn by observing there as well.
20:22 90% of the training done is assistance exercises, and not just the squat, bench and deadlift.
22:40 It is crucial to take your time with your warmups. Strategically increase the weight by small amounts. Do a lot of assistance exercises.
23:53 When new lifters breathe, they do chest breaths. It bends the back. Breathe into the diaphragm or use nasal breathing.
26:33 If you overarch, many times your back will round over as you lift, creating a 2-part motion.
27:17 Powerlifting is all about going through a range of motion while maintaining a certain posture.
28:13 You want your first rep to look like your last rep on any given set, no matter how heavy it is. If the last rep is ugly, lower the load so it looks technically like the first rep.
29:34 If you are having difficulty executing full range of motion, do less range of motion. When prepping to brace, drive your hips forward and drive your sternum down, creating as much intra-abdominal pressure as possible to help maintain solid positioning.
31:26 There is great variation between body types and different lifters. If it doesn’t look right or feel right, try different strategies: different foot positions, different shoes.
32:50 You should try to be a professional in the gym. Look like you know how to lift. Execute the moves the best possible way you can. If you want to be great, your mind won’t be 10 to 20 years down the road. You can work at 60% of your 1 rep max and get great health benefits.
38:00 If you are going to be a little reckless and swing weights around to get the pump and get the mindset, be cautious and do it infrequently with light weight. Bouncing at a deadlift produces and immediate sheer on the back, where the weight pulls you down a bit and then you lift. It is not good for your back. It also does not reinforce proper mechanics.
39:27 Be a good role model. Be excited about the technique you use, not that you lift like an animal.
41:00 Powerlifting and bodybuilding are both effective for promoting health. People who do bodybuilding-type workouts tend to be able to do it into old age. In Olympic lifting and CrossFit, you tend to get hurt easier. Fewer old people do them.
42:15 Keep your form, keep your technique, and follow your deadlift to the ground, rather than let them drop to the floor.
45:55 Done strategically, increasing frequency of specific workouts can build a tremendous amount of strength…to a certain point. Powerlifting trains your nervous system.
50:29 The Slingshot was invented in response to a minor pec tear. With the bench shirt in mind, Mark eventually developed the Slingshot.
57:50 Mark made a deadlift suit that has straps like the Hip Circle. When you bend down to grab the bar, it feels like you’ll be launched through the ceiling. Many people squat poorly so Mark invented the Hip Circle.
63:48 Knee wraps take some of the tension off the knees for squats so you can overload a leg press or squat. They provide warmth and stability.
65:57 The Kratom is Mark’s newest product. He calls it a Mind Bullet. The plant, mitragene specioso, has been used to help people come off opioid addiction. It is a tea leaf that has been used for hundreds of years.
01:15:50 Specialty bars give you a different center of gravity and works different parts of your body. They can also give you the ability to lift while injured without further injury.
01:19:08 For gaining muscle and size in a short time, eat more and better-quality food and increase your frequency of certain movements to 2 to 3 times each week. If you have a lagging body part, go to 3 times a week.
01:20:51 Recovery is huge. Get enough sleep. Drink enough water.
01:21:33 Protocol for micro-dosing psilocybin mushrooms: You can take one small psilocybin no more than every 4th day.

More About Today’s Show:

MCTs are a hot topic as of late.

You know, the ketone-promoting medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) fats that you likely used in your coffee this morning.

However, there’s another group in the MCT family that we should start paying closer attention to: monocarboxylate transporters.

Without these specialized transporters, exercise, fasting and the ketogenic diet would be, well, nearly impossible.

Today we discuss the specific ways we can “increase” the activity of these special cellular MCT transporters—potentially enhancing ketone use by our muscles, heart and brain.

This information may help you learn new ways to enhance the health benefits of fasting and make going keto easier.

About this show: 

Like it or not, we all lose muscle with age—which, honestly, kinda stinks.

And much of our metabolic rate and fat-burning potential depends on muscle.

Thus, strategies that can prevent age-related muscle loss are hot topics among scientists nowadays.

In fact, new research suggests that ketones have “anti-catabolic” effects in muscle—meaning: they may slow muscle loss.

This is attractive to us as we age, but it’s also important to consider if/when one has an elective procedure—say surgery—or has to travel or be sedentary.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the study and key takeaways:

In this show, Daniel Winkler is a world renowned-mushroom expert and has published several field guides to help us better identify edible and medicinal mushrooms.

We discuss how mushrooms influence our immune system and offer key micronutrients essential to long-term health.

Check out the show notes: https://highintensityhealth.com/251

Key Takeaways:

02:20 Mushrooms are seasonal, so your time to educate yourself on identifying mushrooms is very short.
03:10 Get to know the mushrooms that you want to use. Know any dangerous look-alikes.
11:10 The fruiting body of a mushroom is 90% water.
12:07 Mushrooms do not have a stomach. They are a mass of connected fine threads, a mesh. This forms a web called the mycelium.
12:33 Mushroom Sex: The part of the mushroom above ground is the reproductive organ of the mushroom.
14:23 The dried mushroom fruiting body is about 30% protein.
15:05 Mushrooms have powerful immune systems.
15:30 Mushrooms are also antibacterial and antiviral.
15:41 Medicinal mushrooms are those varieties with the most powerful immune systems. Examples are cordyceps, reishi and ganoderma.
17:21 Mushroom skin is made of the polysaccharide, chitin, like insects.
18:45 All vitamins can be found in mushrooms.
24:39 Smell and taste your mushrooms. Only swallow mushrooms that you know are edible and can be eaten raw.
25:48 In general, all mushrooms should be cooked.
26:54 Dry Frying: Fresh wet mushrooms can start cooking without oil.
30:13 Some mushrooms serve as an extension of the roots of a tree. Many trees take up to 90% of their water through the mushroom. The tree can return up to 60% of their sugars to the mushroom.
33:51 Mushrooms, lichens, eat rocks.
45:40 You can probably spread/seed mushrooms in your own yard in proper habitat by placing parts/pieces of fresh mushroom fruiting body.
50:44 Cordyceps grows a fruiting body out of a LIVE insect, taking over the insect’s movement with mycelium (like a puppet master), directing it into a place where it is optimal to spread its spores.
52:48 The drug Cyclosporine is made from a variety of cordyceps soil fungus. It suppresses your immune system, which is necessary for organ transplantation.
53:50 Other cordyceps support your immune system.
56:35 Some research shows that cordycepin stops cancer cell reproduction. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory.
58:45 Mushrooms manage the echo system with what appears to be wisdom and planning.
01:06:20 Harvesting/using magic mushrooms is against the law. It is good to know how to identify them.
01:15:52 Lion’s Mane has been shown to help nerve cell regeneration and increases in memory of 10 to 15% in elderly people, and possibly impacts Parkinson’s symptoms.
01:23:18 Daniel believes that psychedelic mushrooms are less addictive than TV.
01:23:51 Psychedelics are showing use with alcoholism, drug addiction, PTSD and serious depression.
01:26:15 Psychedelics could be a trigger for people with the genetic predisposition of psychosis.

Show Notes: https://highintensityhealth.com/250

Ben and I expand on the first discussion--diving further into why glycogen depletion and glucagon are needed and helpful in helping to kick-start fat loss and ketone production. We also discuss nuances around protein, mTOR and building muscle.

Here’ s quick run-down of the time stamps:

05:49 We are applying the low carb ketogenic diet in bizarre ways by dumping oil into their drinks. There is no other nutritional value to the oils. Eggs are loaded with nutrition. Dr. Bikman mixes raw egg into his morning tea.
07:45 Fasted exercise stimulates glucagon. Our red blood cells need glucose. When we need gluconeogenesis, glucagon will be elevated. If you are low carb, exercising in a fasted state, or you are fasted, you need gluconeogenesis. Glucagon will be elevated and insulin, which inhibits gluconeogenesis, will be low.
09:37 People may be confusing gluconeogenesis with an insulinogenic effect. If you are low carb, gluconeogenesis happens only as much as you need it.
10:40 If you have ketogenesis happening, you have gluconeogenesis. Fat is used for fuel, and parallel, we have the need for new essential glucose to be produced.
13:14 Depleting glycogen is a necessary event before ketogenesis kicks in.
14:10 True clinical hypoglycemia is remarkably uncommon. If you are insulin resistant, and your brain has been depending upon high glucose and has had no time to adapt to using ketones for fuel, glucose levels can get low. Your body senses this and panics. There is more than enough glucose.
17:03 There are two phases of hunger. The first phase is hunger from empty guts. It is passing. The second phase of hunger is when your body says that there is a genuine deficiency of energy and you want to eat anything and will do anything to get it.
18:22 As long as you have sufficient salt and water consumption, you are good for exercise. If you have food in your gut, your body is conflicted about sending blood to your muscles or your guts.
19:57 Protein increases insulin and glucagon. Other macros increase one or the other.
21:02 Glucagon is catabolic of fat tissue. There are not many glucagon receptors in muscle.
21:55 If you are low carb or fasted and you need gluconeogenesis, there is no appreciable increase in insulin from the protein, yet a substantial increase in glucagon.
23:00 Glucagon activates lipolysis, increasing free fatty acids. The liver sees more fatty acids, but since insulin is low, the liver will not store the fat. Hormones tell the body what to do with energy.
23:54 Acetyl-CoA is the branch point of all metabolic processes in the liver and most other cells. It can be used for creating new glucose, activating gluconeogenesis, create lipids through lipogenesis and it can to into the citrate cycle and be used for energy, creating ATP, or it can be used for ketogenesis. All of this is dependent upon insulin. Catecholamines and glucagon counter insulin, but insulin reigns supreme.
25:40 Consuming meat or saturated fat does not create lipotoxicity, nor insulin resistance.
27:36 In animal and human studies of saturated fat, fat was administered intravenously. Elsewhere it was tested against muscle tissue in the lab, which does not reflect the complex systems of the body, especially the influence of insulin. Both of these formats helped to form our mechanistic thinking of how saturated fat can cause insulin resistance.
30:17 It is easier to induce insulin mediated lipotoxicity with a vegan diet than a ketogenic diet due to the high carb content.
30:43 Excess palmitate can create an excess of ceramides, as can hyperinsulinemia directly.
32:39 Triglycerides do not effect insulin sensitivity.
33:45 There are more ceramides in sedentary, obese, insulinemic individuals. They also have higher levels of circulating fatty acids. This is because the liver is making more fat or the adipocytes are becoming increasingly insulin resistant. Thus adipocytes are spilling lipid into the blood. The lipids switch from inert triglycerides to ceramides.
34:53 Alpha cells become insulin resistant because of a ceramide accumulation. We have a microenvironment in the pancreas. Butted up against each other, you have an alpha cell that releases glucagon and a beta cell that releases insulin. Insulin from the beta cell tells the alpha cell not to make glucagon. Within this environment is a greater amount of insulin than in our system. This means that the alpha cell is getting hundreds, maybe thousands of times more insulin than other tissues.
35:52 In type 1 diabetes, where you are not making insulin in the microenvironment, too much glucagon is produced, elevating glucose.
36:18 An insulin resistant person, who’s insulin levels have been climbing over the decades, but there is enough to keep glucose in check, remains clinically silent. Viewing diabetes as an insulin disease results in better treatment and earlier detection.
36:43 Eventually, glucose levels rise and you are a type 2 diabetic. This could be when the alpha cells become insulin resistant. Insulin tells the alpha cell to make less glucagon, unless the alpha cell becomes insulin resistant and glucagon climbs. This signals the liver to start pumping out glucose.
37:30 Both insulin and glucagon are high in type 2 diabetics. It should be one or the other.
38:13 Weight gain results from insulin therapy for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics, even if caloric consumption remains the same.
40:15 Exogenous ketones shut down your body’s ability for hepatic ketogenesis. Pulsed exogenous ketones can be helpful with TBI or other neurological issues.
41:55 Glucagon activates processes that are involved in mitochondrial biogenesis.
44:18 Ketones are energy. When you do endurance exercise with high blood glucose, glucose drops. When you do endurance exercise in a fat adapted state, your ketones will drop.
44:47 As you become more fat adapted, your body becomes more efficient and ketone baseline levels drop.
44:57 The definition of ketosis had been arbitrarily set at .5 mml. It is being considered to start at .3 mml due to the body’s efficiency shifts in fat adaptation. Once ketones are detectible from a low carb diet (and not exogenous ketones or MCT), metabolic pathways have been activated and insulin is low. You will be catabolic of your fat tissue.
47:53 You cannot store ketones if insulin is low. If insulin is elevated, even a ketone brought in exogenously, is converted to acetyl CoA and can be stored.
47:57 Hormones drive energy utilization.
51:54 Any cell that you want to maintain and grow requires mTOR. Insulin promotes mTOR activation.
52:55 Leucine is a good mTOR activator in muscle.
53:22 A cancer cell will grow with chronic mTOR activation, but it is not the cause of the cancer.
54:41 Protein consumption does not correlate to cancer incidence. There is evidence that a vegetarian diet, resulting in low levels of LDL. Low LDL is associated with 15 times greater risk of leukemia.
55:41 Animal products are higher in protein and we absorb more. Plants are relatively deficient in protein and we do not absorb it effectively. The longer you live a life with low insulin, the better off you will be. Fasting insulin levels impact Alzheimer’s risk more than age does.
59:17 Carnitine is involved in lipid transport. Longer chain fatty acids need a carnitine shuttle. Low levels of carnitine can be a bottle neck for the mitochondria’s ability to oxidize lipids.
01:00:41 Leucine is the most anabolic amino acid and is a ketogenic amino acid.
01:01:22 Red meat is a great source of carnitine. Carnitine accelerates ketogenesis. We can make our own carnitine. Low carb vegetarians may benefit for supplemental carnitine. Chicken is not a good carnitine source.
01:03:55 Cold induced uncoupling can stimulate mitochondrial uncoupling in muscle. If mitochondria are uncoupled, which means we have mitochondria pulling in glucose and fat and burning it to create heat. Where mitochondria are more tightly coupled, breaking down only enough energy as requested by the cell.
01:05:19 Ketones induce mitochondrial uncoupling in fat tissue, telling it that it is okay to waste energy. In muscle cells, it does not increase mitochondrial uncoupling. It is beneficial for your muscle to only use the energy it needs to use.
01:05:24 Body temperature rises from exercise out of an inherent inefficiency in all chemical reactions.
01:08:56 Cold exposure has an immune benefit and a cognitive benefit, as well as the metabolic benefit.
01:15:39 A main cause of endotoxemia can be LPS (lipopolysaccharide), a membrane component of bacteria. LPS is inhaled or absorbed from the gut. This is accelerated when your body is absorbing lipid.
01:16:47 With lipid absorption, there can be an increase of LPS and endotoxemia. However, dietary lipid consumption also increases LDL. LDL can bind to LPS and result in its removal through the bile duct. Fructose increases LPS, but does not increase LDL.

Dave is not a doctor, nor does he have any medical training. He has, however, run hundreds of serial cholesterol tests on himself and inspired thousands of others to do the same. 

He can reliably lower his “bad cholesterol” by eating white-bread in the days leading up to cholesterol tests. Which should make you question how necessary or good it is to constantly seek to lower cholesterol.

Carb cycling is an underground performance-boosting tool.

Unlike old-school “carb loading” strategies (which usually cause gut disturbances and fat gain), carb cycling helps exercisers stay lean and strong.

Peter Defty is an expert on this topic, and in this recent video he shares key insights he’s gained from his 17-year low-carb-for-exercise-performance strategies.

Here’s more:

By being “mostly keto” and just ingesting carbs while working out—or during a post-workout window—you can get all the performance advantages of carbs with little downside.

I frequently do this when I’m squatting, deadlifting or doing other multi-joint movements, and it really helps with speed and performance (compared to just lifting in a keto state).

So, unless one is embarking on keto for specific medical applications (epilepsy, cancer, diabetes etc. …), carb cycling can be used to give a “lift” in the gym.

In this discussion, we talk more about:

- Carb cycling strategies for women and men
- Best time to have carbs: during workout or post-workout
- Why keto + exercise help build the metabolic base

To staying lean and strong,
Mike

Fat and ketone metabolism expert Joe Anderson, PhD offers insights and best practices when it comes to at-home metabolic testing.

---------------------------- Key Timestamps---------------------------

01:33 Dr. Anderson’s PhD was on How Chemicals Come Out in Breath.
02:45 Acetone is created primarily from the breakdown of acetoacetate.
11:02 Your brain is unable to use fat for fuel, and instead uses ketone bodies when sugar is depleted.
11:46 Acetoacetate ketone body is the mother molecule that can be interconverted with beta hydroxybutyrate.
12:28 Beta hydroxybutyrate is converted into acetoacetate, which is then used to fuel the cell.
15:00 Much of the conversion of ketone bodies occurs early in the transition between sugar burning and ketosis.
15:26 Ketone bodies are mainly there to feed your brain. Fats can be used to fuel muscle tissue, heart, etc.
19:47 Beta hydroxybutyrate and ketone bodies seem to be able to bypass some defects in mitochondrial function, the inability of mitochondria to generate fuel from sugars.
22:17 Acetone as measured by Levl is an indicator of your last 12 hours of fat metabolism.
24:31 The Levl sensor can mistake consumed alcohol for acetone.
25:27 Eight hours after drinking alcohol, you can experience alcoholic ketosis, reflected in acetone levels.
28:28 While in ketosis, endurance exercise will cause ketone levels to drop because you are using the ketones.
36:55 Bears use ketones for hibernation. Cows make ketone bodies and the ketone bodies flavor the milk.
40:52 Keto breath is mostly acetone.
42:18 Urine testing for acetone has too many variables, like water intake and frequency of urination.
43:33 Seven parts per million or higher of breath acetone would reflect a .5 mml of beta hydroxybutyrate, the definition of nutritional ketosis.
45:22 Measure acetone consistently first thing in the morning when there are fewer external variables. If that is not possible, measure right before dinner or at bedtime.
47:50 Supplemental niacin and aspirin seem to alter the breakdown of fat at the cell, so the fat cell does not dump fat into the bloodstream.
52:14 Ingested shorter chain fats can turn into ketone bodies more quickly than longer chain.
53:30 Levl partners with Heads Up Health, which tracks additional health variables, creating a body of data to be analyzed in a more holistic way.

Cardio equipment is alluring to many of us because it shows how many “calories” we’ve burned. (Measuring calorie burn with accuracy still remains a work in progress, however.)

 Check out the show notes: https://highintensityhealth.com/243

When we do squats, pull ups or other resistance-based movements, it’s difficult to quantify how many calories we’ve burned by the end of a workout—was it 150 or 650?

Who knows, and who cares. Burning calories is not the answer to long-term fat loss.

And besides, focusing on calories can often backfire when it comes to nutrition and training. One of Chicago’s top trainers, Jen Bruno, adds more clarity to this conversation.

She’s got great insights into how to stay “fit over 40” and helps people lose fat with minimal tools. (Condo gyms, at home-bodyweight programs and more.)

- Avoiding the food reward trap

- How weight training affects hormones

- Lifting weights is cardio

06:35 Pouches in your large intestine may not get flushed with your bowel movements, causing reinfection and re-pollution into your body.
08:30 The liver and the gallbladder are stimulated to dump toxins with a colonic.
09:01 A healthy gut should have a 24 hour transit time.
10:25 Taking probiotics with an unhealthy gut is tantamount to putting paint over wallpaper. You have to remove the wallpaper.
10:52 Many of us can resolve many conditions within 4 to 6 weeks, with colonic hydrotherapy.
11:36 A colonic cleanse series should be done twice a year.
14:51 We are all exposed to chemicals/toxins and should do cleanses.
15:59 Washing can remove as much as 70% of the chemicals from your fruits and vegetables, even organic, which can be exposed to chemicals in handling.
17:22 Pooping properly starts with eating lots of vegetables, drinking lots of clean water, and drinking green tea.
18:34 Castor oil is a healing anointing oil.
19:10 Dr. Teijeiro uses Queen of Thrones Castor Oil and castor oil packs, which she created.
20:48 Castor oil reduces biofilm.
21:39 The molecular structure of castor oil is similar to prostaglandin E3, a natural anti-inflammatory molecule within our bodies.
22:15 Where you place a castor oil pack on your body stimulates the organs inside.
26:52 Beets are full of glycine, an amino acid that helps the liver detoxify. They also help to get your bowels moving.
27:32 Arugula’s bitterness stimulates the liver. Green tea can get your body cleaning in many different ways.
28:40 Fat with your coffee will reduce sugar throughout your system, but it will increase the amount of sugar in your gut, impacting candida and gut health.
30:00 Colonics can cost from $90 to $150.
30:56 If you cannot afford colonics, do regular water enemas, use castor oil packs and do magnesium flushes.
32:07 Dr. Teijeiro’s book, Oh, Shit comes out in the fall.

If someone encapsulated sleep into a pill, it would become a banned performance-enhancing drug (PED), says Oura ring’s CEO, Harpreet Rai.

We’d rather check our emails or tune into social media than raise growth hormone and testosterone or preventing weight gain.

From raising growth hormone and testosterone to preventing weight gain and increasing natural killer cells, it is staggering what sleep does.

Yet many of us think of sleep as “optional” or unimportant. We’d rather check our emails or tune into social media than go to bed. One of the best biometric devices to track sleep is the OURA ring—it rivals invasive polysomnography, in terms of accuracy.

To help you better understand how to interpret sleep and harness its benefits, the OURA ring CEO stopped by my place to dive into the details.

We discussed:

- Why heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the best biomarkers to follow for performance

- How to increase restorative deep sleep and HRV

- The best time for evening meals and for sleep

- Why consistency of wake time and sun exposure in the AM is linked to sleep

Enjoy those Zzz’s,

About this show: 

Obesity medicine specialist Dr. Krishna Doniparthi challenged my long-held beliefs and biases about exercise.

In this deep dive, he discusses a trend that has been emerging in research of late and is known as “non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).”

Researchers are discovering that we need more regular and consistent activity to signal to our muscles to burn fat for fuel. (So, just hitting the gym or adding a cardio session is simply not enough to keep weight off as we age.)

Dr. Krishna emphasize “overall movement” over exercise, but it’s great to have my biases challenged--which is fun to do! 

We also explore more about:

- Cortisol-to-DHEA balance in the quest for burning fat, building muscle
- How eating raw foods can raise your resting metabolic rate
- Ketosis and intermittent fasting are part of our heritage
- Omega-3 fatty acids and cell membrane health

Key Time Stamps

04:00 Ben hunts his own meat.
08:29 After killing an animal, Ben says a prayer, thanking the animal and thanking the earth. When pulling the trigger or releasing the arrow, your ancestral brain is in charge.
13:09 Ben and his family forage around his home for food and medicinal plants.
15:51 When hunting fasted your senses and awareness are heightened. However, if you are going any distance, you need some fuel.
18:03 Eating testicles may be good for your testicles.
26:23 Ben’s breakfast is a blend of decaf coffee with mushroom extract, a big spoonful of ghee, a dropper full of stevia and a scoop of collagen.
32:14 Ketosis when competing in Ironman was helpful for Ben.
32:54 Ketosis is not appropriate for glycolytic obstacle course racing and Ben finds it draining hormonally.
36:16 In the afternoon or early evening, your body temperature, reaction time and grip strength peak, so Ben does a second and more intense workout then.
37:31 In this cyclic ketogenic diet, Ben restores carbohydrate levels during a time of high insulin sensitivity and an upregulation of glucose transporters (post workout).
41:06 The post workout muscle protein synthesis window is longer than we have been lead to believe.
43:25 If you are doing two workouts in less than 8 hours, you would want to consume carbohydrates after the first workout to enhance performance in the afternoon workout.
45:21 There are more pros than cons to working out in a fasted state, restricting food after workout, and restricting carbohydrates most of the day.
47:14 Excessive calorie deprivation over a period of time longer than 4 weeks can downregulate thyroid and cause an increase in TSH.
48:41 In the absence of high volume exercise on a ketogenic diet, a drop in testosterone may not reflect a true drop and may be a more rapid turnover of testosterone metabolites. With high volume exercise and a ketogenic diet, it is a true drop in testosterone.
49:52 More than half of endurance athletes, men and women, have reproductive issues. Ben attributes this to the stress of the exercise and diet.
50:59 We live in an unnatural state and this may require unnatural means, biohacking, to mitigate the damage.
58:38 Smart phones effect our health more than any other modern life technology.
01:01:43 Just by having your phone with you, even on airplane mode, you are less present.
01:07:21 LSD in micro doses merges right and left brain hemispheres, enhances creativity, enhances problem solving abilities and enhances lateral thinking patterns.
01: 10:41 Psychedelics in low doses are far less toxic than alcohol and result in far less metabolic damage than alcohol, with better effects.
01:13:18 Ben’s morning routine includes a gratitude journal, deep tissue work on the foam roller, hanging from a yoga trapeze and hot/cold contrast therapy using the sauna and cold pool.
01:16:13 Ben’s desert island nutrient is 100% dark chocolate.
01:18:08 Ben’s elevator pitch: Have as much love in your life as possible.

About this Show:

Eating too much fat is a common mistake many people make when they first embrace a low-carb, ketogenic way of eating is eating.

Although fat loss is often the primary goal for going keto in the first place, striving to “hit your fat macros” can, well.... actually slow fat loss.

John Limanksy, MD discusses why elevated ketones on blood tests doesn’t always mean enhanced body-fat loss.

In this chat he reveals the details and ways to burn-more body fat without having to stuff oneself with fat-bombs.

Check it out the video and show notes: http://bit.ly/2wlSOVa

Here's a few things we discuss more about:

• Dr. Limanski’s most valuable biomarkers for fat-loss & blood sugar health
• Why nutrition is only ~ 70% of the answer to our health issues
• Exogenous ketones and MCT oil applications in fasting
• Micronutrient dense foods VS macronutrient balance

Hope you gather some helpful insights!

-------------------Key Takeaways--------------------

02:02 Dr. Thomas is an alcoholic in recovery for 15 years.

06:00 Many adolescent patients with ADD, ADHD, anxiety or depression tend to self-medicate, so Dr. Thomas started an addiction clinic.

06:28 Teens do not need to be put on long-term medication.

08:48 Addicted teens and young adults have difficulty with 12 step programs. 

13:26 Addiction is a spectrum. You can move yourself to safety by doing certain things.

15:50 Little or random use of marijuana triggers schizophrenia, psychotic behavior or paranoia for some of us.

16:22 Those of us who drink heavily and do not detox can trash their bodies to the point of death in 3 to 5 years.

16:34 People who use meth age decades in just years.

18:48 Dr. Thomas prefers to treat with natural treatments.

19:41 About 1/3 to ½ of Dr. Thomas’ patients who are meth or heroin addicts are former ADD/ADHD kids. Many were never treated.

22:30 Screen addiction: You receive constant fight/flight triggers from your screens. It’s frying our brains.

27:19 We trade addictions.

32:11 It took 5 years for Dr. Thomas to be around alcohol without it bothering him.

35:41 Support systems are important to sobriety and maintaining sobriety long-term. Dr. Thomas still goes to meetings.

38:08 Treatment saves lives. The addict must want sobriety.

43:01 A ketogenic diet normalizes the GABA to glutamate ratio and lessens cravings.

51:26 The book Knowing How by Julie Valenti contains 20 concepts for rewiring your brain to new pathways, releasing you from old maladaptive pathways.

54:03 Alcohol is an addictive poison.

55:55 There are 115 deaths per day from opiate overdose. We have no solution.

57:44 Dr. Thomas has a 13 point plan in his book.

01:02:22 Dr. Thomas’ desert island nutrient for addiction is vitamin D.

01:04:07 Dr. Thomas’ recommended morning routine for addicts is to stay off cell phone and email. Drink a tall glass of water and meditate.

01:08:25 Dr. Thomas’ strategy for approaching an addict is to share his story.

Back in 2007, Miriam leveraged the ketogenic diet to help shrink her seven year old son’s brain tumor. Instead of moving him to palliative care as the doctors suggested, Miriam and her husband ramped up their nutrition even further to help her son live seven more good years—much longer than doctors thought was possible.

She’s since helped hundreds of cancer patients change their diet and lifestyle to help their body surmount cancer, naturally.

Hope you enjoy the show, 

Mike

---------Key Timestamps---------------

11:46 Miriam accidentally discovered the therapeutic ketogenic diet as her 7 year old son, with a brain tumor, was about to enter palliative care.

12:49 After 3 months of a ketogenic diet and a weak chemo drug, the tumor shrank by 10 to 15%.

14:40 They were doing the diet incorrectly, using keto and caloric restriction, yet it worked.   

16:42 Caloric restriction during ketosis impacts angiogenesis. 

18:04 Starving cancer of glucose is the simple view. There are metabolic pathways that are dysregulated in cancer, like the mTOR pathway. 

19:26 The ketogenic diet is a systems approach. 

20:24 Limiting protein is essential to a successful ketogenic diet for cancer. If protein is not limited, mTOR is stimulated throughout the system. With cancer treatment, keep mTOR upregulation specific to muscle tissue. 

24:28 There is room for eating seasonal fruit, berries and vegetables on the ketogenic diet. 

25:30 Miriam has seen the worst cancer outcomes in people who eat 10 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.   

28:51 There is more thermogenesis when you burn fat.

30:54 1.0 grams per kilogram of body weight is sufficient protein. 

32:48 Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need to work with a specialist if they are doing a ketogenic diet for any reason. 

36:30 High fat diet studies do not use ketogenic diets.   

43:43 There is a short comment period for the government dietary guidelines that ends that the end of March. Comment!

44:54 The brain needs the energy equivalent of 130 grams of sugar, not 130 grams of carbohydrates. Sixty to 70 percent of this need can be met with ketones. Our bodies make the needed glucose.

46:50 A modified Atkins or a more liberalized ketogenic diet, is about 12 milligrams per deciliter higher in glucose on the average, which may mean the difference between a tumor growing or not growing.

47:21 Cancer robs glutamine from its neighbors.

49:45 Press Pulse Therapy is being researched for management of glutamine.

52:42 Keto is not the cure for cancer. It is an adjunct therapy.

53:06 In brain cancer, the results of ketogenic diet therapy is dramatic and people live many years past the initial prognosis.

54:36 You change the terrain to be inhospitable to cancer growth. It is not just about doing the ketogenic diet, but changing the lifestyle.

56:53 The ketogenic diet brought Miriam and her husband 6 ½ years of good quality of life time with their son before he died.

58:28 There may be cancers that do not respond to the ketogenic diet.

01:00:38 Drug therapies cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.   

01:03:33 Fasting helps with housekeeping, clearing out dead cells. 

01:05:01 In a case study in Egypt of glioblastoma multiforme and Keto

01:07:23 Temozolomide (Temodar) may give methylating patients 2 ½ months.  

01:15:00 A Diet Skeptics and Saboteur presentation is on Miriam’s website.

01:15:58 A ketogenic diet has potential for improving quality of ageing. 

01:22:18 Strong abs or a daily walk makes for less constipation.   

01:25:22 How you sit on the toilet makes a difference in defecation.   

01:26:25 The advised morning routine for someone with cancer. 

01:33:28 Miriam’s favorite herbs or nutrients

01:35:04 Miriam’s elevator pitch

A stressful day at the office would leave Joanna Wilcox yearning for a binge at a local fast-food joint.

By leveraging the appetite-suppressing effects of the ketogenic diet and using Instagram as an accountability partner, she’s lost over 60 pounds of fat and has built some muscle.

---Key Timestamps---------------

03:50 Joanna’s behavioral therapy counselor told her to cut carbs, to log what she was eating and count the carbs. Her counselor’s recommendation was for Joanna to consume less than 20 carbs per day. Eventually, it was internet before/after pics of low carb diets that motivated her to try it.
06:31 Joanna went keto/low carb. She tracked what she ate and stuck to her net carbs. In the first 6 months, she lost 45 pounds. The next 6 months she lost 15 pounds. She documented her weigh in on Instagram. Everyone loses at different rates and times.
07:30 Joanna does not test blood or urine ketones. She figures that eating 20 net carbs or less is keto.
08:11 Keto helped Joanna with emotional eating, though she is not sure why. Perhaps it was the leveling of blood sugar and fewer hunger cues. With emotional eating, it feels like you have no control over what you are eating. Joanna had been told that if she was going to eat something because of emotions, to eat something low carb.
10:16 Look inside yourself and determine what you want. Do self-care. Walk.
11:34 Accountability partners help you to make the private public, motivating you and others, as well as providing an emotional outlet. Joanna serves as inspiration for others.
16:08 Tracking marcos are a good first step. By now, Joanna can calculate her macros in her head.
16:53 Joanna’s current goal is to do a 3 minute handstand, a one arm handstand, a pullup and body sculpting.
18:17 Joanna also implements time restricted feeding and exercise, in addition to counting macros.
18:27 You need to move your body. Diet can get you only so far.
19:51 Having a personal trainer helps you learn, make the most out of the time at the gym and pushes you further. You can find effective at home workouts online.
24:50 The four stages for readiness for change:

1. An authority figure, like a doctor, tells you that you must change.

2. Someone close to you is telling you that you need to change/loss weight.

3. You notice the physical effects.

4. Rock bottom is when in your core, you are ready.

29:50 Keto is a huge adjustment in lifestyle. There is sacrifice involved, especially in social situations. Get comfortable.
31:16 Women can get migraines, rashes, hair loss and/or menstrual cycle changes. Joanna got the rash at day 30.
33:33 You can eat out, even at fast food restaurants, and stay keto.
36:40 Tracking and weighing her food was key to Joanna’s success.
37:26 Condensing the feeding window allowed for larger, more enjoyable meals. You still need and get your calories.
38:57 Intuitive eating is influenced by our emotions. Now that Joanna does not have as much fat on her body, she needed to increase her fat intake. Make changes and see how it affects you.
