In this podcast, we're going to talk about the best way to handle a cheat day on keto and cheat day recovery.

Can I do cheat days on keto? Some people may have a keto cheat day if they're on vacation, going to a party, it's a holiday, etc. The main thing is to understand the mechanism involved.

When you have a cheat meal, and you eat carbs, you spike insulin which then reacts to store glucose. You now end up with a low blood sugar situation. This is when the hunger sets in, the cravings start, and other negative effects like anxiety happen.

Of course, when you eat carbs, you will feel better...but...not for very long. Soon after the carbs, you're left wanting more and more. You're also depleting a lot of essential nutrients.

How to recover from a cheat day on keto:

• Drink apple cider vinegar with water

• Start fasting

• Exercise

• Take electrolytes (B-vitamins (nutritional yeast), potassium (electrolytes) sea salt)

Heart rate recovery test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSiS9...

Adrenal Stress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_VFR...

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about recovery and how you can determine your recovery level.

If you’re an athlete, there are a lot of different tests you can do to determine your recovery. But, if you don’t have access to tests like a heart rate recovery test, you can go by other factors.

You have the body recovery rate, and then you have the being recovery rate. In your mind, you may be someone who can handle intense exercise, but your body may be older and not able to handle it. This can result in serious injuries.

Body recovery has to do with your ability to repair. There are repair proteins or enzymes in the body that do the work of repairing damage at the DNA level. These repair proteins require nutrients, or they don’t work that well.

How to Slow Aging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8bFL...

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of exercise that go beyond weight loss.

The amount of influence that exercise has on your weight is a lot smaller than you may think—at the very most, it’s only 15%. 85% has to do with what you eat and the frequency of your meals.

Benefits of exercise that don’t have anything to do with weight loss:

1. Prevents the loss of muscle mass

2. Builds antioxidant reserve

3. Stabilizes blood sugar

4. Increases oxygen (gives you energy)

5. Decreases stress

6. Enhances sleep

7. Increases flexibility

8. Strengthens the heart

9. Enhances cognitive function and mood

Is lemon juice good for arthritis, or is lemon juice bad for arthritis? Well, it’s actually both. In this video, I want to explain why lemon juice is both good and bad for arthritis.

Gout arthritis - High levels of uric acid.

Gout symptoms get better when you make things alkaline. When you consume lemon juice and it’s metabolized, it turns into an alkaline substance. This makes lemon juice a good remedy for gout. But, the lemon juice remedy for gout is really just a quick fix. It will help you feel better, but you still need to work on the real cause of the issue.

Osteoarthritis - Calcium deposits within the joints.

Osteoarthritis symptoms get worse when things are more alkaline. When you alkalize the body, you can create a flare-up of osteoarthritis. With osteoarthritis, you need to acidify the body by taking apple cider vinegar.

As a side note, when doing intermittent fasting, your body will produce more uric acid. If you’re sensitive to uric acid, it may cause a flare-up of gout. In this case, you can take lemon juice or potassium citrate to alkalize the body.

Is keto safe for the thyroid, or will keto damage the thyroid? In this video, that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about.

What is the thyroid?

The thyroid is in the base of the neck, and it’s controlled by the pituitary. The thyroid makes T4, but T4 is inactive. T4 has to be converted to the active form, which is T3. 80% of the conversion happens through the liver, and 20 % happens through the kidney.

How does keto affect thyroid function? When you go on a ketogenic diet, T4 will decrease up to 40%. But let’s look at the big picture. There are no studies out there that show any negative effects on the thyroid when you go on a keto or low-carb diet. Also, despite the 40% drop, there is no drop in metabolism.

T3 is becoming more sensitive and more effective.

I believe that high carb diets increase the need for more thyroid hormone, so T3 is higher. With a keto diet, T3 goes down, but I think that’s not actually abnormal. I believe that number is normal for what our bodies are designed to use.

So, is keto safe for thyroid function? Yes. When you’re on the ketogenic diet, you’re actually improving the efficiency of the thyroid.

Many people think that when you’re fasting, you’re starving. But, you ARE actually eating. I’m going to explain more about why this is in this podcast.

When you’re fasting, your cells are eating their own fat. They’re not being fed from your diet, but they’re being fed from your storage.

The only time fasting is starving is if you go too long and you've used up all of your fat. If you have no more fat, at that point, the body will start using up its muscles. But that will take a very long time.

Fat gives us glycerol and fatty acids, which turn into ketones. About 60% of the fuel your body uses while fasting is fatty acids. As far as the brain is concerned, two-thirds of the fuel can be ketones, and one-third will be glucose.

The body does need a small amount of glucose. However, there is something in the body called gluconeogenesis, where the body can make glucose.

Where does the body get glucose from?

• Glycerol - 20g of glucose per day

• Ketones - 10g of glucose per day

• Recycled lactate - 40g of glucose per day

• Organs - 80g of glucose per day

• Alanine - 15g of glucose per day

Our bodies are very well designed for fasting and intermittent fasting. There are a ton of fasting benefits, and the body does will on this. But, the body does not do well on frequent meals and snacks.

Today we’re going to talk about the benefits of taking a cold shower.

Why take cold showers? It all has to do with something called cryotherapy or cold therapy. This concept is based on hormesis. With hormesis, what you’re doing is adding a moderate amount of stress to create a beneficial effect.

By taking a 20 minute cold shower, you can increase norepinephrine by 200-300%. When you increase this nerve transmitter, you can:

• Drop inflammation

• Increase your antioxidant network (including glutathione)

• Increase your mitochondria

• Increase your T-cells

How to take cold showers to get these cold shower benefits: Start out with maybe 30 seconds or a minute, and gradually increase the time you’re in the cold shower over time.

7 cold shower benefits:

1. Decrease muscle pain

2. Decrease joint pain

3. Speed up recovery

4. Decrease inflammation

5. Increase cognitive function

6. Increase mood

7. Increase metabolism

TEST: https://www.spectracell.com

Vitamin deficiencies affect your overall health, but will your blood test detect them?

CBC - Complete blood count (measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and iron)

BMP - Basic metabolic panel (measures all basic organ systems and a few nutrients)

Neither of these tests will actually detect all of your nutritional deficiencies. What’s happening in the blood is not happening inside the cell.

Classical nutritional deficiencies - Severe deficiencies like scurvy, rickets, pellagra, or beriberi

Subclinical nutritional deficiencies - Could relate to repair, longevity, or protecting the immune system

Subclinical vitamin deficiency symptoms:

• Vitamin A - Problems with night vision

• Vitamin D - Low back pain

• Vitamin E - Weak muscles

• Vitamin K1 - Bruising

• Vitamin B1 - Anxiety

• Vitamin B2 - Cracked corners of the mouth or lips

• Biotin - Problems with your nails and hair loss

• Vitamin C - Bleeding gums and fatigue

How to test nutrient deficiencies: Use a blood test that evaluates these nutrients off of your lymphocytes. A company called SpectraCell specializes in this.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the incredible benefits of heat therapy.

If you recently created an injury where there’s inflammation, and you put heat on it, it’s going to make it worse. In that situation, you need to use cold therapy.

Heat therapy is really good for chronic conditions—especially chronic injuries.

Examples of heat therapy:

• Hot shower

• Steam room

• Sauna

• Jacuzzi

• Infrared

• Contrast bath therapy (alternating cold and heat)

9 Benefits of heat therapy:

1. Decreases arthritis

2. Decreases muscle spasm

3. Decreases muscle pain

4. Decreases muscle inflammation

5. Decreases pain in general

6. Decreases waste/CO2

7. Increases O2 - Blood flow

8. Decreases stiffness

9. Increases recovery

Why take hot showers? There are certain genes that kick in when you add heat or cold, and they do different things.

Heat shock protein:

• Responds to stress

• Heat

• Oxidative stress

• Heavy metals

• Infection

Heat shock protein is a protein that responds to a certain amount of stress and then causes the body to adapt and do better. Heat shock protein actually protects the cell against misfolding.

Many chronic diseases have the accumulation of certain proteins that are non-functional and clog up function. Heat therapy can help prevent this from happening. When you add intermittent fasting, your body goes through autophagy, which cleans up the misfolded proteins.

Today, we’re going to talk about how a vitamin D deficiency can affect your teeth.

This mainly occurs when you’re a baby before your teeth even come in. It’s basically rickets of your teeth. Rickets is a vitamin D deficiency. I believe vitamin D is probably the most important vitamin, and it works with vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is very important for your teeth as well.

How a vitamin D deficiency can affect your teeth:

1. Enamel Hypoplasia (higher risk of cavities, white spots, pits/grooves, and sensitivity to cold/heat)

2. Missing teeth

3. Delayed teeth

Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency:

• Low calcium

• Low back pain

• Inflammation

• Low immunity

• Loss of bone
