In this podcast, I want to talk about why you might still have cravings and feel hungry while on keto and intermittent fasting.

If you’re following the exact healthy ketogenic diet plan, your cravings will go down to zero, and your hunger will go down to zero. When you’re doing the right program, your body has converted 100% to the state of ketosis. Any glucose your body needs it can make itself. You do not need to consume sugar or carbs.

If you’re hungry or craving something, think back to what you ate yesterday. Was there anything you ate that you shouldn’t have? Did you eat keto-friendly foods that have maltodextrin or tapioca? Even fruit or dates could create hunger and cravings the next day.

The cause behind cravings on keto or hunger while fasting is almost always that the person had too many carbs the day before. If you stay consistent each day, your hunger and cravings will go down. Once your hunger and cravings do inevitably go away, this diet is very sustainable.

A few more things that could cause hunger and cravings on keto:

• Stress

• Poor sleep

Today we’re going to talk about apple cider vinegar and the coronavirus. Apple cider vinegar is very anti-microbial.

It has been known to kill:

• E. coli

• Staph

• Candida

Apple cider vinegar also has the ability to downregulate cytokines. A cytokine is involved in the immune process and inflammation. Apple cider vinegar may be able to help decrease inflammation by downregulating cytokines.

Apple cider could also impair cell membranes in certain pathogens. Apple cider vinegar and other kinds of vinegar can stimulate phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a condition where you have this immune cell eating the pathogen. It eats the bacteria or virus and kills it. Vinegar, being an acid, can stimulate the activity of that process.

Today we're going to talk about tahini butter and the benefits of tahini butter.

What is tahini butter?

Tahini butter is basically ground sesame seeds.

Is tahini butter keto-friendly? Yes, it is!

Tahini butter benefits:

• It's keto-friendly

• It has a good amount of healthy fats with great protein

• It has a lot of nutrition

• It's rich in phytonutrients

• It has methionine

• It's loaded with vitamin B1, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, and manganese

• It can help support cholesterol levels

• It can help support blood pressure

• It can help reduce anxiety

• It can help reduce dizziness

• It can help reduce headaches

I would recommend consuming tahini butter raw. That way, you get the vitamin E complex and other fat-soluble vitamins, including linoleic acid.

Different ways to consume tahini butter:

• In salad dressings

• In hummus

• Mixed in other nut butters

Today we’re going to talk about how to help decrease uric acid in the body. We’re also going to talk about some of the conflicting information that revolves around that topic.

Uric acid is formed when it’s trying to breakdown purine, which is another compound found in foods. It’s mainly found in organ meats and meats but, it’s in certain vegetables as well.

Uric acid can act as an antioxidant in the body, and that’s one of the reasons it may elevate when you’re doing fasting—as a way to enhance your immune system.

When the pH of your urine becomes too acidic, this uric acid can leak out into the joints and cause gout. It can also leak into the kidneys causing uric acid kidney stones.

Ways to control uric acid levels:

1. Alkalize the body

You can try:

• Consuming potassium citrate

• Consuming more alkaline vegetables

• Taking baking soda

• Taking other alkalizing minerals like magnesium and calcium

2. Apple cider vinegar

3. Vitamin C (from lemons or lemon juice)

4. Reduce glucose and fructose

Uric acid food to avoid:

• Organ meats

• Sardines

• Asparagus

• Spinach

• Green peas

• Cauliflower

The Side Effects of Calcium Carbonate You Need to Know Jun 16, 2020

Today we’re going to talk about the side effect of calcium carbonate. A lot of people take calcium carbonate, but they don’t know much about it.

The biggest thing you need to know is that calcium and other minerals need an acidic medium to be absorbed. If your stomach does not have the acidity you need, the calcium will not be absorbed well.

A lot of people take calcium carbonate for heartburn, and the calcium carbonate dries up the acid in the stomach over time. So not only is the calcium not being absorbed, but it also ends up actually causing heartburn. In my opinion, apple cider vinegar might be a better choice for GERD or heartburn. But, of course, check with your doctor.

Some studies show that high doses of calcium carbonate also do not increase bone density in osteoporosis. But, it did increase the risk of heart attacks.

Calcium carbonate may even lower the thyroid function and block a person’s ability to utilize T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone).

Side effects of calcium carbonate:

1. Loss of appetite

2. Constipation

3. Gas

4. Nausea

5. Vomiting

6. A decrease in hydrochloric acid (HCL)

Contraindications to calcium carbonate:

• Kidney stones

• Hypercalcemia

• Calcification

• A severe interaction with 210 drugs

A lot of people are taking massive doses of calcium carbonate, thinking that it will prevent bone loss when it could actually be creating other issues.

Do you find that fasting interferes with your ability to sleep at night? Quite a few people have told me that their sleep isn’t as good at night while they’re doing intermittent fasting. I recently found some research on why this might be. Take a look.

In this study, the researchers found that energy restriction for 2-7 days caused decreased nocturnal secretion of melatonin by 20%.

What can you do about this? There are two things you can try:

1. You can add MCT oil to your diet. You want to have this just before bed.

2. Increase your carbs to 50g a day.

Try one of these and see how it affects your sleep.

The reason for this problem has to do with insulin resistance. You could have insulin resistance that has been there for a long time. This causes your brain to be starved of glucose. It can take your body time to adapt to ketones so that your energy, especially in the brain, isn’t restricted.

Your gut microbiome is a combination of good bacteria and bad bacteria, such as:

• Bacteria

• Yeast

• Parasites

• Viruses

There is something called VLP (viral-like particles). You have a lot of these in and around your body. VLPs don’t have any genetics inside of the cell, but they are viral-like particles that exist throughout the body.

The human gut virome is clusters of viruses that live in your body, and there are a lot of them. You have a lot of bacteria in your body, possibly trillions. These viruses outnumber your bacteria by 10:1 and, in some cases, 20:1. These viruses typically don’t cause any problems unless you have lowered resistance or a medical problem that makes you more susceptible. This is why it’s important to keep your immune system strong.

You also have an army of immune cells that include not just white blood cells, but also your good bacteria. If you’re lacking good bacteria, the bad bacteria can thrive. Also, if you’re eating foods that create a lot of inflammation, the inflammation can create a shift from good bacteria to bad bacteria.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of selenium.

What is selenium?

Selenium is a trace mineral that has extremely powerful antioxidant properties. It’s a co-factor enzyme, which means it’s involved in a lot of different enzymes as a helper mineral. Its main job as an antioxidant is to help protect against oxidative damage. Selenium may be beneficial for chronic health problems and conditions where there is inflammation.

Selenium benefits:

1. Helps make glutathione

2. Oxidative stress reduction

3. Required for the conversion of T4-T3

4. Reduced complications of certain diseases

5. Anticancer

6. Antitumor

7. It may be beneficial for those with alcohol-related liver disease

8. It may be beneficial for those with arsenic poisoning

9. It may be beneficial for those with autoimmune conditions

10. It may be beneficial for those with BPH

11. It may be beneficial for those with diabetes

12. It may help detox mercury

The RDAs for selenium are 55mcg. But, the therapeutic dosage you may want to consider taking if you have any of the above conditions would be 200mcg. Selenium can have toxic effects if you take too much.

Selenomethionine may be the most beneficial to take. Brazil nuts are one of the most selenium-rich foods. But, they are also very high in phytic acid. Phytic acid actually blocks selenium. If you want to consume Brazil nuts, be sure to soak them overnight and dry them out first to get rid of the phytic acid.
