People don't realize that men and women have identical hormones.
Platt’s mom died of breast cancer. The fact that she died of breast cancer means she had a problem with progesterone, which is the hormone that protects women from breast cancer.
She had a lot of fat around her waist, nowhere else. The only thing that puts on fat around the middle is insulin.
So, Dr. Platt thought that maybe there was a connection between progesterone and insulin. When Dr. Platt started using progesterone cream, he never got sleepy again while driving.
Eventually, Dr. Platt opened a wellness clinic to help people with their hormones.
“Adrenaline is probably the number one cause of weight gain.” -Dr. Platt

[03:25] What Exactly Adrenaline Is and How It Works In The Body

Adrenaline is both a hormone as well as a neurotransmitter.
Fibromyalgia is caused by excess adrenaline. When people have fibromyalgia, one of the main things they complain about is fatigue.
When someone has a lot of adrenaline, they keep their muscles tense. When you keep muscle tense, you use up a tremendous amount of energy.
Part of the fatigue when it comes to your adrenaline is due to just keeping muscle tense.
Another reason people get a lot of fatigue with adrenaline is that it prevents them from sleeping.
People with too much adrenaline are also low in the thyroid, which can contribute to fatigue.

[08:35] What’s The Correlation Between People With ADHD and People With High Levels of Adrenaline?

What's nice about adrenaline is that it is a neurotransmitter; it gives people intelligence.
As a neurotransmitter, it enhances what's called creativity.
The most intelligent, successful creative people in the world have a lot of adrenaline.
There are literally millions and millions of people that have been diagnosed with ADHD.
ADHD is all about adrenaline. The most intelligent, successful creative people in the world have ADHD; it's not bad.
Also, ADHD is not a learning disorder; it’s an interest disorder. If people are interested and they have ADHD, they'll focus. If they're not interested, they will not focus.

[15:00] Will A Keto Lifestyle Help Reduce Adrenaline In The Body?

The brain requires two different fuels to function: glucose and ketones.
By providing ketones to the brain and glucose, you can get a significant drop in the release of adrenaline within 24 hours.
Road rage is caused by adrenaline. You can get rid of road rage in just 24 hours.
Ketones will balance out adrenaline.
When it comes to adrenaline, Dr. Platt recommends that people eat something before going to sleep.

[19:20] Dr. Platt Reveals Some Major Signs That You Have Too Much Adrenaline

Adrenaline peaks during the night.
People with high adrenaline are quick to anger because adrenaline is an anger hormone.
Also, they will have cold hands and cold feet.
Adrenaline is a survival hormone. As a survival hormone, it cuts off blood supply to certain areas of the body that are not needed for survival.
Also, adrenaline cuts off blood supply to the intestines.
People with a lot of adrenaline will almost always have tension to the back of the neck.

[28:35] There Are A Few Strategies You Can Use To Lower Adrenaline Levels

The best way of tapering down adrenaline is eating correctly.
Ketones are a great way to lower adrenaline. Also, glucose from vegetables will be useful as well.
Progesterone will block adrenaline.
However, if somebody already has insulin resistance and takes progesterone, it will increase the insulin resistance in the brain.

[32:00] Not Many Doctors Are Talking About Adrenaline - Dr. Platt Gives His Thoughts

Big Pharma controls medicine. They control what doctors learn in medical school and the medical boards that control the FDA.
You have an entity that controls medicine that has no interest in people being healthy.
Big Pharma doesn’t want doctors to know how to get people well.
Doctors get no training in hormones.

[34:00] Progesterone Cream Can Help With Adrenaline, Here’s How To Use It

The back of the neck is a great place to put progesterone cream.
There’s a type of headache called occipital neuritis. This causes excruciating headaches, and it is always mistaken for migraines.
This type of headache is only caused by excess adrenaline cranial pressure.
Sadly, there's so much that doctors don’t realize.
You can get rid of ADHD with progesterone cream.
Learn more about Dr. Platt’s progesterone creams here: https://plattwellness.com/

[38:00] Endogenous Depression Can Go Away When You Lower Adrenaline Levels

There's a type of depression called endogenous depression.
This is depression comes from within. People will get depressed, but they don't know why they're depressed.
The most common cause of endogenous depression is the internalization of anger. Adrenaline is the anger hormone.
Lowering anger levels will make the depression go away.

[41:45] It’s Time To Take Your Health Into Your Own Hands

People have to become proactive if they really want to be healthy.
You can’t depend on the medical system that has no interest in people being healthy.
Take control of your own body!
It’s time to get well and stop relying on traditional medicine to solve your problems.

[44:55] Dr. Platt Has Recommendations For Boosting Your Immune System

The whole approach to COVID has to be the immune system.
One of the most effective ways of dealing with COVID is a high dose of vitamin D.
We can't convert sunlight to vitamin D anymore.
Platt recommends vitamin D in powder form.
Also, 10,000 units of vitamin D prevents sunburn.
Overall, the government should be talking about metabolic health, not pushing a vaccine.

TAKE HOME POINTS:

Keto Flexing is a novel approach to ketogenic nutrition which involves ketosis, fasting, and flexible choices to optimize the health value of this strategy.

Ketosis is a normal state in our bodies that we do less and less of because of the American diet, which forces us into the glucose side. So returning to ketosis is not a fad or a particular diet, but it’s a way of living. It has health advantages compared to when we burn glucose.

For ketogenic diet we add fats and oils. It is best to avoid seed/vegetable oils. They are [3 C’s] canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, [3 S’s] soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and two others rice bran oil and grapeseed oil. They’re very unstable and highly inflammatory. We prefer stable fats, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats such as coconut oil, real olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, duck fat, and lard.

[00:40] How Robb Wolf Started On His Health Journey and Writing Three Books

Robb’s mom had a lot of health problems. He had this sneaky suspicion that better food and exercise could lead to better outcomes.
So, Robb was interested in health at an early age.
He was a California State powerlifting champion and got into Thai boxing and jujitsu pretty early on.
It led to an undergrad in biochemistry, and then he was looking at either medical school or the research track.
In college, Robb was experimenting with his diet. He was tinkering with a low-fat, high-carb vegan diet. Robb ended up making himself very sick.
On his vegan diet, Robb was on a blood sugar roller coaster all the time, he had all these gut issues, and his depression was in pretty rough shape.
Eventually, he changed over to a paleo diet, and it saved his life.

[08:30] Spoiler Alert: Not Everyone Knows What They Are Talking About on The Internet

If you’re new to eating a raw diet or keto, you need to know the basics.
Paleo, keto, and carnivore all revolve around protein.
Providing nuance can be confusing when starting a new lifestyle.
It’s valuable to look at a variety of different people when finding advice on the internet.
Learn from people who have had success in their lifestyle and are flexible.
Remember, when starting a new lifestyle, it should be simple.

[14:45] Are You Having A Hard Time With Keto? Robb Wolf Explains Why

A lot of the problems that people experience is just inadequate sodium intake.
If you keep your electrolytes up, you can often subside cravings.
Keto can be a train wreck if you are a high-intensity athlete.
On hard training days, you may or may remain in ketosis despite eating 200 grams of carbohydrate per day.

[19:40] It’s Critical To Keep Your Electrolytes Up To Help With Sugar Cravings

You need adequate sodium. Otherwise, you may suffer from lethargy and fatigue.
If you are fairly active and live in a hot, humid environment, your base level of sodium intake needs to be higher than what you probably think.
If you’re eating a minimally processed diet, then a lot of your food doesn’t come with salt.
You need to add salt to your diet or make sure salt is included in your foods.
If you have an electrolyte imbalance, it can feel like you’re hungover.

[22:35] Drink LMNT: A Tasty Electrolyte Drink Mix With Everything You Need

Get LMNT: https://amzn.to/2YiZaXe
Robb created an electrolyte drink mix that is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs.
They are perfectly suited to folks following a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet.
The mixes contain an ideal ratio:
- 1000 mg sodium
- 200 mg potassium
- 60 mg magnesium

[27:15] Are You Overdoing It With Electrolytes? Here’s What You Need To Know

The first and most common thing if people really overdo electrolytes is disaster pants.
If you’re attached to the bathroom, then you might be overdoing it on electrolytes.
The Japanese culture has traditionally consumed ten to fifteen grams of sodium per day as part of their diet.
The average intake in the United States is recommended to be below two grams of sodium.
Sodium isn’t a potentially dangerous element to the diet.
Overall, keto reduces blood pressure in most people, and fasting reduces blood pressure in everyone.

[30:55] Scientists Masterfully Crafted Chips To Make Them Hyperpalatable

There's this new product called the Dorito Roulette. All of the Doritos are hot, but they vary in heat.
Some of them are mildly hot, medium, and then one random chip that will burn your face off hot.
The scientists understand palate fatigue and novelty at a super high level.
How do you get people to eat more food? Well, you need some sort of randomness of exposure. Also, you need an anticipated but unpredictable, intense experience.
Smart scientists understand how the brain works, and they're using it against us to make a big profit.

[36:30] Robb Wolf Talks About His 7-Day Carb Test

Choose a test carb from the list in Wired To Eat. Or find 50g of effective carbs or another carb source.
Get Wired To Eat: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Eat-Cravings-Appetite-Determine/dp/0451498569/benazadi-20
With the carb test, you can determine if carbs are a great option for your lifestyle.
Some people have to be really smart and mindful about which carbs they are eating.
When people start lifting weight, they become more metabolically flexible. Then, they can go back and retest their carbs.
Learn more about the 7-Day Carb Test: https://robbwolf.com/wiredtoeat/7daycarbtest/

[41:55] Should You Try Time-Restricted Eating? What Are The Benefits?

Time-restricted eating can be a wonderful tool for inducing calorie control.
Some people will respond well to eating anything between 10 am and 5 pm. Eventually, they’ll start to get healthier and make better food choices.
We all know that somebody who exercises and eats healthy is shockingly healthier than an obese sedentary individual.
Robb is not sold that a lean and healthy individual can gain a lot of benefits from fasting.

Jeffrey Smith | GMO'S & Glyphosate Destroy Your Health & The Environment KKP: 317 Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me bestselling author and filmmaker Jeffrey Smith.

His podcast, Live Healthy Be Well, brings you the latest need-to-know health and wellness news while exposing cover-ups and spins by governments and corporations. He teaches practical strategies to protect and improve your own health, that of your family, and our planet.

Jeffrey is the founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices. For more than two decades, his research has exposed how biotech companies mislead policy makers and the public and put the health of society and the environment at risk.

In this episode, Jeffrey Smith opens the show by speaking about his studies of chemicals and glyphosate. After attending a genetic engineer whistleblower lecture, Jeffrey did his own research, wrote books, and even directed movies. Jeffrey explains why GMOs are not the way to solve a world hunger crisis. Tune in as we dive deep into what glyphosate and GMOs are doing to animals, humans, and the general environment.

[00:35] Why Jeffrey Smith Got Involved In The Study of Chemicals and Glyphosate

25 years ago, Jeffrey attended a lecture by a genetic engineer whistleblower.
Monsanto was about to genetically engineer the food supply of soy and corn grown in Iowa. However, hardly anyone knew about it.
The scientist knew that the technology was dangerous and could have a dramatic effect on human health.
Jeffrey realized the fraud that allowed it to be approved by the corrupt regulatory agencies captured based on the mythological lies by the biotech industry claiming safety.
So, Jeffrey started writing books and making movies about the controversy.
Based on the evidence he collected, Jeffrey was convinced that eating these foods was causing tremendous harm to the US population and around the world.

Read Seeds of Deception: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BDLAU8/benazadi-20

[10:00] Can We Solve A World Hunger Crisis By Developing GMOs?

Did you know that GMOs have nothing to offer when it comes to feeding the hungry world?
GMOs do not increase average yields, and increasing yields is not necessarily the way to handle hunger. Currently, there's more food per person than at any time in human history.
GMOs work against developing countries, destroys biodiversity and concentrates the power into the hands of corporations.
Sadly, GMOs can devastate both the health of humans and animals.

[19:50] What Is Happening To Humans When Pesticides Are Going Into Our Water Supply?

One of the highest levels of Roundup is in the animal feeds.
In addition to being patented as an herbicide, glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic.
Glyphosate is a special type of antibiotic because it kills the beneficial bacteria in our gut, not the pathogens. So, it creates dangerous changes in our bodies.
Roundup can be a cause of leaky gut, and all diseases come from a leaky gut.
Glyphosate damages the sequence of the DNA and creates oxidative stress, linking it to cancer.
There are also birth defects associated with it and changes in epigenetics.

[37:55] How Do You Go About Finding Wine That Is Not Contaminated?

Finding a wine that is not contaminated will be a heavy burden.
Someone did a study on organic wines in California. All except one had traces of glyphosate.
Why are there traces of glyphosate in most wines? Well, it’s because the water supply is contaminated and because the air is contaminated.
Most of the time, ‘organic’ isn’t good enough. Instead, you need to know that it is non-GMO verified.

[43:00] The Terms We Want To Look For When We're Shopping For Products

Even if the beef says ‘grass-fed,’ it could be grain-finished.
If they grain finish, it is probably corn, and that would contain GMOs.
You want 100% grass-fed beef.
Ideally, you want to call them and ask if the pastures contain any genetically engineered alfalfa.
Remember, consumer demand drives the companies.
We really want the 100% grass-fed people to say no genetically engineered alfalfa.

[46:50] Jeffrey Gives His Thoughts On The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Fifteen

For a long time, the clean fifteen included papaya and corn. However, those are two of the most genetically engineered crops.
There was something they weren’t telling people.
Glyphosate is not tested as a residue by the US government. The US government doesn't test for glyphosate because they have been bought off.
The government believed that glyphosate was so safe, it didn't need to be tested. They haven't been able to change their minds because of the corporate capture.

Also, he says to check out Responsible Technology: https://www.responsibletechnology.org/

[50:55] The Environmental Impact Glyphosate Is Having On Our World

Learn more at Protect Nature Now: https://protectnaturenow.com/
On Protect Nature Now, there’s a sixteen-minute video that you must check out.
Jeffrey is exposing the shocking and potentially world-altering effects of genetic engineering microbes.
A graduate student wanted to research a genetically engineered organism to get his Ph.D. So, he got permission to test this GMO microbe.
He went into the lab one Saturday morning and was shocked to find that all of the wheat plants on his experimental batch had turned to slime. The sludge contained still active bacteria. The student discovered this two weeks before the people with the bacteria would release it outdoors to see how far it could spread.
The microbiome, however, is far more complicated and essential than anyone ever thought. We didn't need a pandemic to know that they could travel around the world and mutate.

[00:40] Struggling With Depression as an Athlete in High School

In high school, Dr. Frank got good grades, and she was a successful athlete. However, she battled with depression.
She struggled internally with just feeling not good enough.
“It's important that we give ourselves the space and the grace to feel like it's okay to not feel okay.” -Dr. Frank
When Dr. Frank found help for her depression, they gave her three prescriptions.
Eventually, Dr. Frank realized that if you can rewire a computer, you could rewire your brain.
So, she started doing all these little things to improve her mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health.

[03:50] The Importance of Focusing on the Inside Before Working on the Outside

Frank always told people exercise would solve all their problems, when really, it wasn't solving her problems.
When Dr. Frank was exercising and eating healthy, she still wasn’t happy.
That’s when she decided to work on her personal development and personal growth.
Getting a coach will be critical on your journey.
When you’re most successful, you have a teacher or a coach in your corner.

[06:30] If You Wouldn’t Bully Someone Else, Why Bully Yourself?

Read Stop Bullying Yourself: Identify Your Inner Bully, Get Out of Your Own Way & Enjoy Greater Health, Wealth, Happiness and Success: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HPNGHK/benazadi-20
This book started out as a Google Document for Dr. Frank’s children.
Frank wanted to give her children steps and things that she did to reprogram and heal ultimately.
The inner bully is that voice inside your head. It can push you to do better, or it can turn on you.
When people are bullying, it is because they are hurting inside. We need to silence our hurtful inner bully voice.

[12:40] Your Body Is Like A Computer and You Can Rewire Your Brain At Any Time

Food is information, ultimately. Food is literally talking to our cells.
Everything carries a specific frequency, and frequencies carry information.
Counting calories is an old-school way of thinking. Instead, it’s all about the quality of the foods you get.
When we exercise, we are increasing oxygen and nutrients to the body. It will help with hormones.
Everything we do is a download to our body and into our soul.

[17:55] Improving Our Minds By Going Outside and Getting Sunshine

You need to take ten minutes every day to go outside.
The mornings between 7 am and 10 am have healing rays from the sun.
Go into the grass with your shoes off.
Sunshine will help with serotine and vitamin D.
Without the sun, there would be no life. So, it’s important to get sunlight every day.

[21:05] The Best Types of Foods For Your Body and Mental Health

Garlic, turmeric, berries, and beets will create nitric oxide in the body.
High-quality proteins will be great for brain function.
Healthy fats are perfect for getting our neurotransmitters firing and wiring.
Food will impact hormone production and our mood.
We have to remember digestion starts before food even hits our mouth. The relationship we have with food is critical for health.

[29:35] What’s Better: A Physical Six-Pack or a Mental Six-Pack?

There is no such thing as the perfect body. So a mental six-pack is much better!
Frank doesn’t want her daughters to think that being skinny will lead to happiness.
The expectations that society puts on women are not realistic.
Instead, you need to find a healthy mindset.
You are amazing just the way you are!

[36:40] It’s Time To Change Your Habits So You Can Change Your Life

We have to change our systems and habits.
The systems and habits that you have in place will take you towards your goals.
Do you have habits that are not serving you? It’s time to change them.
For instance, stop hitting your alarm clock three times. When your alarm goes off, get up!

AND MUCH MORE!

[00:30] About Jonathan Shane’s Journey To The Health Space

Growing up, Jonathan developed the subconscious feeling of not being in control of his relationship to food.
He started emotional eating, and at age 14, he was 260 pounds with a 50-inch waist.
Jonathan’s doctor told him that he was killing himself.
So, he decided to lose weight. After cutting fat from his diet, he lost 100 pounds. However, his hormones were out of whack.
Jonathan’s binge eating tendencies built up because his ghrelin and leptin were all over the place.
Eventually, Jonathan found the ketogenic diet. He went nine months without relapsing on his bulimia when Jonathan started keto. Tomorrow will be three years since his last relapse.

[05:35] The Importance of Faith In Order To Have A Mental, Physical, and Overall Health Transformation

Humans are powerful creatures, and most of us don't realize what we're capable of as human beings.
However, we are innately broken in terms of a moral construct. It’s hard to build something on our own that is sustainable long-term.
A higher power will help create a moral construct.
It's absolutely huge to have faith in something bigger than yourself.

[11:55] You Have To Work Inside Out When It Comes To Losing Weight and Having More Energy

True change starts with identity.
People have this really bad habit of thinking that the outside actions are going to change their hearts.
True pure faith will produce the desire to do the right thing.
First, you need to let your internal identity change. So, it’s time to create an identity where you accept and love who you are.
Outward change is a temporary fallacy, and inward change is what manifests long-term growth.

[15:50] The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Trying The Keto Diet

The first mistake people make is fasting out of pressure and not doing it off of innate hunger signals and satiation.
A lot of people develop really bad relationships with food, even if they've never had them.
Many people abuse fasting. Instead, you should be listening to your body and letting your body guide you on what fasting should look like.
Another mistake people make on keto is not eating enough fat.
Also, you should not overconsume fat when trying keto. Eight hundred calorie coffees are not the way to go.

[19:40] What Are Healthy Keto Products? Tips For Shopping At The Grocery Store

Always start on the outer part of the store.
Avoid everything that is white.
Meats and colored vegetables are what you should stick with.
You shouldn’t stroll through the aisles of the grocery store.
We are marketed to want the more attractive things first.
The farthest part of the store is the meat section – there’s a reason for that.
Lastly, watch out for seed oils.

[25:15] Are You Having Trouble Sticking With A Keto Lifestyle? Jonathan Has Advice For You

First, start internally. Then, work on the external.
You need a ‘why’ for trying the keto lifestyle.
Jonathan says you should be able to maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet 90% of the time. The only way you can do this is by having a why.
The only way you can maintain your weight loss is by changing your identity.
Also, Jonathan says you need to work on stress management.
Lastly, it’s time to stick with your food list. You can find Jonathan’s list here: https://www.theketoroad.com/

[29:55] What Keto Can Do To Transform Your Health Completely

To lose weight, you have to change your habits completely.
When you change your habits, you will have a total mindset shift.
Jonathan has had a client that lost 200 pounds. She is always chasing the better version of herself.
Anybody can lose weight on keto as long as they work on an identity switch.
It’s time to innercise before you exercise.

[33:45] You Need To Incorporate A Fitness Protocol With A Keto Lifestyle

You don’t need fitness to lose weight. However, physical activity is a pillar for long-term success.
Your body needs activity for healthy joints and bone density.
You want to maintain healthy muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue.
Many people make exercise excuses. If you want to exercise, then you will find time to do it.

[38:20] There’s No Finish Line – You Can Continue To Grow

A keto lifestyle is a continual race. You aren’t going to be perfect.
If you are perfect, there is no room to get better.
So, every single day is an opportunity to improve.
A lot is going on in the world right now. All you can do is control your response to your environment.

Dr Amie Hornaman | How to Improve Your Thyroid Function With The Ketogenic Diet KKP: 312 Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Amie Hornaman DCN, MsN, CFMP. She is also known as The Thyroid-Fixer, a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her transformation program: The COMPLETE Thyroid Fix Method (CTFM).

After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses and improper treatment, Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster.

She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you and gives you the actual tools and treatment to fix you. That’s the transformational journey. With a focus on optimizing thyroid function and thus optimizing her patients, Amie looks at each person as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and treats the person from top to bottom to give them their lives back.

In this episode, Dr. Amie opens up about her experience with health issues as a fitness model. Despite cleaning up her diet and exercising, Dr. Amie was gaining weight. After seeing six doctors, finally, Dr. Amie was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Dr. Amie speaks about knowing if you have a thyroid disorder and the role insulin resistance plays in your thyroid. Later, we talk about the benefits of keto and fasting when it comes to your thyroid. Tune in as we chat about berberine, toxins, and how to feel in control of your life.

[00:35] Gaining Weight and Experiencing Health Issues As A Fitness Model

At one particular fitness show, Dr. Amie started gaining weight instead of losing it.
Everybody knows their body. You know when your body is off.
Plus, Dr. Amie was tired, and her hair was falling off.
The doctor told her to eat less and exercise more. For Dr. Amie, that wasn’t possible.
Six diagnoses later, a doctor said she had hypothyroidism.

[04:15] How Long Does It Take For Conventional Medicine To Diagnose A Thyroid Disorder?

Doctors are looking at a standard lab range, which is huge. So, it’s challenging to know about thyroid problems with conventional medicine.
Some people see between six and ten doctors before learning about hypothyroidism.
Amie knows someone who saw forty doctors before she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
It’s different for everyone. However, if you know something is wrong with your body, then you can’t stop searching for answers.

[05:05] The Symptoms To Pay Attention To For Thyroid Disorders

You may have a thyroid disorder if you are gaining weight with proper diet and exercise.
There are other symptoms of thyroid disorders:
- Hair loss
- Fatigue
- Constipation
Hypo is low and slow.
Your mood will be depressed, your energy will be down, and your ability to burn fat will be down.

[11:55] The Role Insulin Resistance Plays With An Underactive Thyroid

“I see insulin resistance in about 99% of my thyroid patients.” -Dr. Amie
The thyroid gland is the ultimate master gland of all of your trickle-down hormones.
If we are living a lifestyle of high carbs and high sugar, we are actually causing insulin resistance.
This type of lifestyle does produce a ton of inflammation.
High insulin levels will inflame the thyroid and cause the thyroid to not produce enough hormones.
Inflammation is beating up the thyroid gland.

[14:00] True or False: You Cannot Do Keto With An Underactive Thyroid

False!
Keto is by far the best way of eating for hypothyroid patients.
When there is inflammation, keto can be a total game-changer.
Keto will improve inflammation. Therefore, you can improve your thyroid production.

[20:30] Is Long-Term Ketosis A Good Idea For People With An Underactive Thyroid?

Being in ketosis for years without a break can lower your 3T3 levels.
Usually, it’s not a huge issue because it only lowers those levels a little bit.
Instead, Dr. Amie says to come out of ketosis everyone once in a while.
Break out of ketosis; that’s all you need to do.
Eat a sweet potato once a week. It will keep your thyroid gland active.

[28:20] True or False: You Can’t Fast With A Thyroid Issue

False!
When we're talking about the thyroid, we have to take into account the adrenal glands and cortisol production.
Adrenal fatigue is blown out of the water a little bit too much.
We do have to think about stress on the body and how it's going to affect your cortisol production.
You can’t deny the benefits of fasting.
If you wake up and you are not hungry, do not shove food down your mouth. If you wake up hungry, then eat. Your body gives you signals all the time; listen to them!

[33:00] Always Choose To Focus What Is Within Your Control

80% you can control; 20% you can’t control.
You can control your choices and what you put into your mouth.
Also, you can choose what products you put on your body.
Make sure you limit down your exposure to toxins.
If you try to be perfect, you're just going to be at a standstill.

[36:00] Say Yes To Berberine: Incredible Health Benefits of This Supplement

Berberine works like Metformin.
The supplement will squish the highs and lows of your blood sugar.
Also, berberine has beneficial effects on the gut microbiota.
Lastly, berberine is beneficial to the GI tract.

[40:15] Dr. Amie Gives You Action Steps To Take Right Now

Get a full thyroid panel and look at it from a functional lens.
Eat a keto diet and fast.
Lastly, get restful sleep. It’s the foundation of health!

AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Stephen Hussey | Understanding The Heart, Why The Heart Loves Ketones, Red Meat Myths & More KKP: 311 Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Stephen Hussey. He attained both his Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, OR.

He is a health coach, speaker, and the author of two books on health; The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Vibrant Health and The Heart: Our Most Medically Misunderstood Organ.

Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health attaining strategies. In his down time he likes to be outdoors, playing sports, reading, writing, and spending time with his wife and their pets.

In this episode, Dr. Hussey opens the show by explaining why he wrote a book about the heart. After doing some research, Dr. Hussey realized that many things people told him about the heart growing up were utterly wrong. He explains why the heart is humanity’s most medically misunderstood organ. Dr. Hussey reveals that the red meat studies don’t make much sense and why our organs prefer to burn ketones instead of glucose. Later, we dive into the importance of focusing on insulin resistance and ditching vegetable oils.

[00:45] As A Teenager, Dr. Hussey’s A1c Levels Were 11.2

Hussey was a typical rebellious teenager.
In college, Dr. Hussey had a good relationship with his pediatric endocrinologist. In fact, he inspired Dr. Hussey to be some sort of medical practitioner.
During his studies, Dr. Hussey realized that his lifestyle would impact his inflammatory conditions.
No doctors told him to change his lifestyle. Instead, they said to eat whatever he wants and take more insulin when he needs it.

[04:00] Why Dr. Hussey Decided To Write A Book All About The Heart

Growing up, Dr. Hussey would see posters that said, “diabetics have two to four times increased risk of heart disease.”
Whenever Dr. Hussey would ask someone why that was, they would say it was because of higher blood sugar over time.
So, Dr. Hussey tried to learn as much as he could about heart disease.
After doing his own research, Dr. Hussey realized a lot of things he was told were completely wrong.

[10:30] Why Your Organs Prefer To Burn Fatty Acids and Ketones

Most organs in general in the body seem to have this preference for burning fatty acids and ketones for fuel.
Even in the presence of glucose, the heart still chooses to burn ketones and fatty acids.
There are mechanisms in place that give the heart first dibs on fatty acids.
Your body needs to be generating the most ATP possible because you get way more ATP burning fatty acids and ketones than you do glucose.

[13:20] Why The Red Meat Study Doesn’t Make A Lot of Sense

The China Study uses all associations, so they can't really tell us much of anything anyways.
You can’t say one thing caused another when doing these types of studies.
In The China Study, they found that people who ate more red meat had higher incidences of heart disease.
When you look at the data, the people who ate more red meat were people who lived in cities.
The study cannot flesh out the differences between someone who lives in a city and lives in a rural area.
In cities, there are more toxin exposures and more stressful lifestyles. Plus, there are more processed foods in cities. All these differences cannot be flushed out in a study.

[15:30] What Eating Red Meat Does To Your Body

Red meat is one of the best foods for human beings. It’s a food that is nutrient-dense and bioavailable.
Our population is extremely undernourished and overfed. Red meat will be important for people to consume.
Getting rid of animal farming is not an option for the health and future of humans.
Humans have been eating red meat since the beginning of humans. It makes no sense that it would be killing us.
There are certain nutrients that come almost exclusively from our meat and red meat.
Why would a food that has so many beneficial nutrients to the heart also be killing the heart?

[27:20] Does LDL Mean Anything When It Comes To All-Cause Mortality?

Doctors say that LDL should be lower than 100. However, they started it at 250. So, we really don’t know what it’s supposed to be.
The levels of LDL that associated with the lowest death from anything were between 117 and 160.
The recommendation is to have it below 100. However, the highest all-cause mortality was lower than 84.
There are studies that say higher LDL is better than a lower LDL.

[32:40] Instead of Focusing on Lower Lowering Cholesterol, Focus on Lowering Inflammation

Treat insulin resistance first. That way, inflammation will go away.
If you treat those two things first, then your LDL doesn’t matter.
The only reason LDL will become problematic is because of inflammation and insulin resistance.
There are studies that suggest that higher LDL can be beneficial. It’s all in the context of the health of the human.
Everything should be based on how you feel. If you are just checking LDL, then you are missing the bigger picture.

[37:10] The Heart Isn’t The Main Mover of Blood Within The Body

When you look at the physics of it, there's actually no way that a heart the size of ours could pump blood throughout the entire body.
There’s evidence that blood can move on its own.
Our blood is about half water, and water can absorb energy from the environment.
When our blood has sufficient energy, it will do unique things and structure itself.

[49:00] Which Is Worse: Carbs or Vegetable Oils?

Vegetable oils will derail the metabolism in a way that ultimately causes insulin resistance.
The vegetable oils are lighting the fire. Processed carbohydrates add fuel to the fire.
You're not going to be able to burn off vegetable oils as efficiently as the glucose. Instead, they’re going to cause inflammation.
It’s critical to minimize bad fats from our bodies.
