[00:45] Contributing Factors To Stem Cell Exhaustion

Younger people have healthier stem cells.
People who are just more just metabolically healthier are going to have healthier stem cells.
The sicker you are, the sicker your stem cells are.
Stem cells send out signals. As you age, your stem cells won’t be able to send out as many signals.
Chronic inflammation will also exhaust stem cells. Three major factors contribute to chronic inflammation:
- Stress
- Lack of exercise
- Smoking

[03:45] What Is Happening To Our Skin As We Age

Damage from the sun is going to cause spots on the skin.
Some spots are also hormonal things like melasma, which you can get from hormonal changes.
The number one thing you could do for your skin is actually to protect it from the sun.
Getting burnt is not good for your skin.
Regular sun exposure will cause DNA damage to the skin. Plus, it can contribute to faster aging.
Dr. Killen says to put sunscreen on your face.

[07:50] Getting A Healthy Balance of Autophagy and mTOR Through Fasting

Even with a few hours of fasting, you can start to see increased stem cell production.
With longer fasts, you will have more effects systemically on stem cells.
With fasting, we see an increase in autophagy and cellular cleanup.
The best part of fasting is that it’s free!

[12:15] Exercise For Anti-Aging: How Often and How Intense Should Your Workouts Be?

You need at least three or four days of heavy lifting.
Weights are really important for creating hormones like testosterone and growth hormones.
Heavy lifting exercises should be at least thirty minutes to an hour.
Plus, you should do thirty minutes of aerobic activity a day.

[13:20] Antiseptic Mouthwash Is Bad For You: Dr. Killen Explains The Problem

Antiseptic mouthwash kills the bacteria in the mouth.
When there are no bacteria in your mouth, it prevents you from making nitric oxide from food.
Nitric oxide is essential for sexual health and erections.
If you’re using antiseptic mouthwash and you’re taking an antacid, it can decrease your sexual function.

[19:00] The Role That High Glucose Levels Can Play on Your Sexual Function

Glucose will create inflammation.
You want to have good blood flow to your sexual organs.
If you have chronic inflammation, then you will have a lack of blood flow going to your genitalia.
Hormones like testosterone will also be affected by high sugar levels.

[23:35] Peptides: Enhancing The Body's Ability To Protect and Repair Itself

Peptide is just a fancy name for a short protein.
There are now hundreds of peptides out there. Most of them come from proteins that we already have in our bodies.
All of us can use a little bit of extra repair and recovery; peptides are great for that.
Check out Rapid Rebound here: https://ketokamprebound.com/
Rapid Rebound is a unique formulation of BPC157, AOD, and Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) that works synergistically to enhance the body's ability to protect and repair itself so you can reach all of your performance goals.

[32:55] The Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy will help with skin healing rejuvenation.
We can see an increase in stem cell activation with red light and near-infrared light as well.
Plus, there's the mitochondrial energy production that people always talk about with red light therapy.
Red light therapy can have a lot of effects on stem cell production.
Lastly, red lights feel great!

[09:50] Who Do Some Women Get Sick With Breast Implants, & Others Don’t?

· It is important to understand why some people are healthy with breast implants and others aren't and how to intervene. It is also important to support people in whatever they want to do, know the risks, and know how to support themselves.

· Body modification doesn't revolve around plastic surgery. Still, it includes the neck, click the rings in Africa, and the island where people believed the behind the knee was a second vagina. These examples show that people love to do this type of stuff and should be safe and supported.

· Culture and tradition greatly influence body modification, like the Chinese foot binding was a way to signal status.

· Our society is becoming less healthy due to high exposure to chemicals and increased levels of histamine, which affects the type of scar tissue capsule around a breast implant.

[15:00] Does Histamine destroy collagen production? Here's what you need to know

· Histamine is an important neurotransmitter but can also lead to mania and neurological function. Mast cells in different body parts work on a priming system, like dopamine with gambling.

· Histamine can also drive a high level of thinking, especially in women with histamine estrogen. However, over time, it can be destructive.

· Hypersecreting histamine when mast cells are primed can lead to hypermobility, and this is why people with genetic hypermobility like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome automatically skew into muscle activation syndrome.

· Infection can do it as there are a lot of bugs that break down collagen and secrete histamine. This cycle is a fast-flick explanation of hypermobility.

[24:30] Breast Implant: Is it safe or not?

· If a person is healthy before getting breast implants, they will likely make good scar tissue capsules and not be negatively affected by the known toxins in the implants.

· Those who switch implants without doing an onboard capsule ectopy can get into trouble if their collagen and system are overworking and dysregulated. This can lead to capsular contracture, which is a bad aesthetic outcome.

· Scar tissue is a big issue even externally on the body, and even just a scar randomly on the body can throw off the energy system. This can lead to big scar chunks inside the chest.

[36:55] How to Enhance Your Detoxification Pathways

· Mineral replenishment, synthetic bile, liver flushes, liposuction, scar therapy manual therapies, and TRT machines are important. Mineral replenishment is important because it helps to replenish mitochondria in the stomach.

· Synthetic bile and liver flushes are also important before detoxing metals, silicone, and liposuction.

· Scar therapy manual therapies are necessary to unburden yourself of scarring in the areas where you had liposuction and to keep lymph moving with the understanding that you may not ever be able to get all the scar tissue out of that area.

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Cynthia Thurlow. She is a nurse practitioner, metabolic health, and intermittent fasting expert. Cynthia is dedicated to promoting the nutritional and fasting healing benefits for women.

Cynthia spent nearly 20 years in clinical medicine, working in both the emergency room and cardiology. She soon recognized the strong link between food and her patients' health and well-being. This prompted her to pursue advanced training in nutrition and functional testing in order to assist others in achieving optimal health.

Her expertise in nutritional science led her to be a TEDx speaker, giving a talk about the power of intermittent fasting with over 10 million views. And now Cynthia is here to answer various questions about keto, fasting, sleep, supplements, and more.

In this episode, Cynthia talks about how you can keep your energy up while on keto and fasting. She also shares some insights on how we can get a high quality of sleep. Aside from that, she speaks about the amount of protein you should have in a day. Lastly, she tells some treatments for people with insomnia. Tune in as we chat about fasting, metabolic flexibility, quality sleep, proteins, Candida, treatment for insomnia, and the optimal way of taking creatine supplement powder.

[1:02] Struggling to Keep Your Energy While Doing Keto? Keep Working on You Metabolic Flexibility!

The body is still going through an adaptation period. So just keep working on that metabolic flexibility, and incorporate those healthy fats. Eventually, pair it with intermittent fasting when the body is ready.
Medium Chain Fats (MCT) can be used to have energy and ketone production.
L-carnitine can also be used to help your body produce ketone.
Ensure to have a high-quality sleep and drink water with electrolytes regularly.
If you still have fatigue, acquire help from a healthcare provider to get a test.

[13:51] Want to Have a Good Sleep? Focus on Quality, not Quantity!

Make sure to have two hours of REM and deep sleep, which is the optimal time to get a night of high-quality sleep.
Finding things that slow you down are going to be helpful for assisting your body in getting into that parasympathetic.
Hydration also affects our sleep.
Don’t eat before sleeping; instead, have a walk.
Just breathe through your nostrils and get out of the habit of mouth breathing.

[23:33] How Much Protein Should You Consume Each Day?

Cynthia aims for no less than 50 to 60 grams per meal because she can maintain muscle mass and build from where she is without consumption.
At least getting 40 grams of animal-based protein in each meal will give you enough protein. But if you are in strength training, or in the age of 60, increasing that would be better.

[33:25] Candida: How to Use Fasting to Help Fight This Infection?

There isn't much food for Candida to feed on when you are fasting. Therefore, since you're starving it off, you'll inevitably see a decrease in Candida. Fasting can be useful in this situation.
Understanding that substances like caprylic acid or MCT oil have therapeutic benefits is very beneficial when working with your own provider who has made recommendations.
Recognize the critical importance of a biofilm breaker and a binder when developing protocols.

[45:24] Are You Having Insomnia? Treat Your Sleeping Issues with These Effective Methods!

Having a teaspoon of raw honey before bed gives our brain some glucose, which can help with sleep.
There's difficulty falling asleep and difficulty staying asleep. Both of them need to be addressed a little bit differently.
If you're having trouble falling asleep, that's about your sleep hygiene.
Get your hormones tested.
You want to make sure that your meals are fortified with healthy fats, protein and non-starchy carbohydrates.
Myo-inositol can be very helpful for not only inducing sleep but also helping if you wake up in the middle of the night.

[58:07] The Amazing Benefits of Taking Creatine Every Day

Cynthia takes her creatine in her feeding window once daily
It is absolutely essential that we are taking creatine exogenously outside our body because we can't get enough in our foods.
You can take it with water or anything, it is easy to take daily.
Women need three grams, men need five grams, and vegans need more.

AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Anthony Chaffee, MD | Not a Single Plant Has Less Than 60 Known Carcinogens, Vegetables Are Trying to Kill You! The Science & Evidence Supporting Our Real Ancestral Diet KKP: 558 Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Anthony Chaffee. He’s an American medical doctor and Neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. He claims that the majority of the so-called chronic illnesses are brought on by the food we consume and can be treated by switching to a diet tailored to our species.

About 23 years ago, when Dr Anthony was taking cancer biology at the University of Washington, they were learning about the roles of plants. Plants in general have about a million different defense chemicals that are used to poison and deter animals and insects from meeting them up. They need to be able to protect themselves because animals and insects are constantly attacking them.

They learned that quite a few plant toxins had already been demonstrated to be carcinogenic by researchers and that people had even recognized this fact. Brussels sprouts had 136 identified carcinogens, and then mushrooms had over 100. And then all of these different produce items that people would eat on a regular basis would have dozens and dozens of different carcinogens in them. That’s why Dr Anthony is on full carnivore.

In this episode, Dr Anthony speaks about the toxins people are getting from eating plants. He gives some advice on what you can do to avoid chronic disease and live a longer life. Tune in as we chat about carcinogens, plant toxins, hormetic effects, and the effects of eating full carnivore on your body.

[12:15] Can Diabetes be Reversed with a Plant-Based Vegan Diet?

Controlling blood sugar levels and insulin resistance are issues with diabetes. Lowering your insulin is the treatment for that.
How may insulin levels be decreased? You lessen the level of carbs in your body. When you stop eating carbohydrates, your body will produce the right amount of carbohydrates, which will cause your insulin levels to decrease.
Dr Anthony hasn’t heard of many people doing a Plant-based diet to cure type one diabetes but there are studies with ketogenic diets helping type one and type two diabetes.
Some people with type one diabetes have radically changed how they manage their condition by adopting carnivorous or even ketogenic diets. They only need to provide a small amount of long-acting insulin, which will last them for the entire day, rather than many doses of the drug throughout the day.

[18:52] All Plants Have Carcinogens! Why Plants Are Trying to Kill You

There are undoubtedly things that have the potential to have hormetic effects. However, there is a claim that all of these plant toxins, literally millions of them, are not produced by plants for human benefit because we are not living in the Garden of Eden.
There's no actual evidence provided to say which chemicals are hormetic. At what dosage? Just get one leaf from your spinach or sage. That doesn't necessarily have all the same chemicals.
What kind of surroundings did it grow in? What kind of soil was it? What time was the pick? When must it be chosen as having to be freshman, it must be medicines. All of these objects' chemical makeups are altered by this. And so now all of a sudden, you don't know what dosage of digitalis you're getting.
You can experience this beneficial hormetic effect in very small dosages. But it's in very controlled doses.

[24:04] How can you tell whether something is working for or against you?

You could follow an entire elimination diet. Do it for a month, then assess your feelings. After that, you introduce each thing one at a time.
Some people are more resistant to these harmful chemicals and will have a better ability to detoxify these things.

[31:51] Eating The Right Animal Protein on the Carnivore Diet

Pick through exactly what you're eating.
You can gain a small volume of muscle and bone and lose a large volume of fat and you'll gain weight, but your body composition will be different, and your clothes will fit differently.

[44:03] Heart rate variability: A sign to see if meat or plant toxic are good or bad for you?

Nothing in meat will disrupt your heart's rhythm or bring on an arrhythmia. However, you might be hiding something. For example, your electrolytes are slightly out of balance, which is uncommon on a carnivorous diet. However, it may be claimed that when you switch to a ketogenic diet or a carnivore diet that is ketogenic from eating a lot of carbohydrates while your insulin is up, your levels of insulin suddenly go down.

Dr Paul Saladino | How Linoleic Acid (PUFA'S) Destroys Cellular Health, The Benefits of Carb Cycling, Fish Oil Risks & More! KKP: 557 Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Saladino. He is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has used this diet to reverse autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable.

In addition to his personal podcast, Fundamental Health, he can be found featured on numerous podcasts including The Minimalists, The Model Health Show, Bulletproof Radio, The Dr. Gundry Podcast, The Ben Greenfield Podcast, Dr. Mercola, Health Theory, Mark Bell’s Power Project, and many others. He has also appeared on The Doctors TV show and will release his first book in 2020 titled, “The Carnivore Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Optimal Health by Returning to our Ancestral Diet.”

In this episode, Dr. Paul Saladino first speaks about his appearance on the Doctors and how it was a complete hit job. Then, Dr. Saladino reveals the reason he started incorporating more carbohydrates into his diet. We talk about why insulin resistance isn’t the best term to describe what is going on with people’s health. Later, we dive into the importance of lowering your linolic acid intake. Tune in as we chat about omega-3s, why Dr. Paul doesn’t eat any vegetables, and if there is a connection between eating meat and colon cancer.

[00:50] Dr. Paul Saladino Talks About His Appearance on The Doctors

Before Dr. Paul’s appearance on The Doctors, he was told it would be a debate.
They had five doctors and one lawyer. Plus, they had a vegan doctor to argue against Dr. Paul.
There was a lot of yelling, and Dr. Paul was barely given a chance to say what he needed to say.
Paul invited them to his podcast to have an honest and genuine debate. None of them showed up.
If you want to watch it on YouTube, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPrrg4tytE

[09:50] Why Dr. Paul Started To Eat More Carbohydrates

Ketosis at the beginning for Dr. Paul without carbohydrates in his diet seemed fine.
Eventually, Dr. Paul was getting a lot of muscle cramps, and he was getting heart palpitations at night.
So, Dr. Paul started to reintroduce carbohydrates into his diet.
First, he started to introduce honey into his lifestyle. After incorporating honey, Dr. Paul started to feel better.
Blood sugar will spike when you include carbohydrates in your diet, especially honey. However, Dr. Paul’s blood glucose tracing was very low.

[22:50] Why Dr. Paul Doesn’t Like The Term Insulin Resistance

Paul doesn’t like the term insulin resistance. He thinks metabolic dysfunction is a more precise term.
He doesn't like to say insulin resistance because two types of insulin resistance are often confused and conflated.
The first type of insulin resistance is physiologic insulin resistance.
Humans have evolved a state known as ketosis, which goes hand in hand with physiologic insulin resistance.
Then, there is pathological insulin resistance.
Many people who exclude carbohydrates will see improvements in their physiology.

[34:50] The Importance of Decreasing The Amount of Linoleic Acid In Your Diet

Many people should decrease the amount of linoleic acid in their diet.
We have to understand how much linoleic acid is in the foods we eat as humans.
Soybean oil has 45 to 50% linoleic acid.
Butter and tallow, which has rendered animal fat from cows, will have much lower levels of linoleic acid, around 2%.
The composition of our cell membranes takes a long time to change. So, breaking down the linoleic acid will take a great deal of time.
A low carbohydrate approach will help lower the linoleic acid in your diet.

[40:00] What Happens When We Consume Too Much Linoleic Acid

When we eat more linoleic acid, we can find more oxidized LDL.
The oxidation and the instability of linoleic acid is one of the problems.
There could be some potentially hormonal roles for linoleic acid that are negative as well.
The underlying thing to consider here is an evolutionarily appropriate diet for humans.
We consume much more linoleic acid than we ever have.

[47:25] Should You Be Taking Fish Oil on The Ketogenic Diet?

Fish oil spoils extremely fast.
These oils are so fragile, and we're putting them in capsules, and we're presuming that they're not oxidized.
The only place Dr. Paul is getting omega-3 is essentially from ruminant animal fat.
Paul is not convinced that omega-3s are that beneficial or that we should be pumping ourselves full of them.
There have been millions and millions of humans that have no access to coastal foods; they did just fine from eating land animals.

[64:35] You Want To Push Your Linoleic Acid Consumption As Low As Possible

Paul says to keep your linoleic acid consumption as low as possible.
The human body can't make omega-6, but there's omega-6 in everything.
The linoleic acid composition of a mother's breast milk changes based on their dietary consumption.
If you look at the hunter-gatherers, their linoleic acid in the breast milk is much lower because they're eating so little linoleic acid in their diet.

[70:10] Thirty Days To Radical Health

Paul is doing an animal-based 30-day challenge.
In fact, Dr. Paul challenges you to try an animal-based diet for 30 days and NOT flourish!
Learn more about the challenge here: https://animalbased30.com/
When you sign up, he will send you a free infographic and an eBook.

[75:55] Are There Any Vegetables That You Should Be Eating?

If you think canonically about what a vegetable is, it's the part of a plant that it doesn't want you to eat.
Vegetables don’t have a role in human health unless you want to go to great lengths to detoxify them.
If you want to do vegetables, ferment the heck out of them and maybe do something like sauerkraut.
Even some fruit can be problematic for humans.

[88:10] Is There Really A Connection Between Eating Meat and Colon Cancer?

We've been cooking meat for more than a million years.
Calcium is an essential part of every human diet, whether you're getting it from bones or you're getting it from good sources of dairy.
When you have more calcium in the diet, you tend to see lower rates of colon cancer.
Overall, we should go back to the idea of what's evolutionarily consistent, and we try to understand that as best as possible to inform our behaviors.

[00:00] Diet: Supplement, Programs, and Detoxes

Diet is about what you don’t put into your body or what you must remove, creating interference in your innate intelligence of healing itself.
When you look at why people are getting sick, it has very little to do with the lack of vitamins or nutrition; it has more to do with what’s disrupting their health.
Believe in the body and stop looking outside yourself. The answer is understanding the language of your body.
Healthy people have diversity in their guts.

[13:07] Fasting: Why it’s Simple, Easy, and Effective

Multiple studies show that a person’s maximum growth hormone rises around day five.
Fasting gets rid of bad cells that contain bad DNA.
Fasting doesn’t eliminate senescent cells or cells that live too long; they recreate a new one by stimulating a stem cell.
An mTOR pathway is an anabolic pathway.
Variation in the diet is important. Feast famine cycling is a strategy of diet variation where we fast. Still, we must remember to feast, as feasting is as important as the fast today.

[22:49] Benefits of Hormesis

The premise of Hormesis is the adaptation of stress where you become stronger.
Change your exercise just like we have to change our diet, create new stress, force the body to adapt again, and continue to get healthier and better.
People have different adaptations, and we must understand and listen to our body to ensure that it’s adapting to the stress we benefit from.
Hormesis considers fasting as a therapy, a therapeutic or healing state.
Some signs of the body not adapting to the fasting stress are gaining weight, spotting, and trouble sleeping.

[29:13] Glucose and Ketones

In fasting, you should see glucose trending down and ketones trending up.
Stronger mitochondria mean burning fat more efficiently.
Ketosis is a stress to mitochondria.
When the body fasts, it knows what to do. Part of it is getting at these mitochondria and powering these little powerhouses up so the body can push out toxins out of the cell, creating the energy to make hormones and make your day amazing.

[35:18] Gene Triggers for Disease

Epigenetics is like software; It can be changed and adapted. And so, most diseases are epigenetics.
People have a stressor that can turn on or trigger a gene.
Fasting and Ketosis are ways to down-regulate stressors.
By feasting and famine, we create stress on the microbiome, and we create diversity.
The microbiome significantly affects a person’s cells throughout the body. Thus, creating a diverse microbiome in the gut leads to a better immune system, brain, and health.

[44:45] Metabolic flexibility

Ketosis is a state and not a diet. People are meant to go through times of Ketosis but staying in one state or diet too long creates absolute monoculture or a lack of microbiome diversity.
As a cycling woman, Fasting and Keto does well with Estrogen but do not on Progesterone. Therefore, there are two different diets for Estrogen and Progesterone.
Post-menopausal women can fast more like men.

[12:00] How Do High Glucose Levels In Insulin Affect The Body?

- When blood sugar reaches a hundred, the blood sugar found inside your circulatory system is a minor fraction of your excess.

- Glycation is the word that means glucose is sticky. And it sticks to things it shouldn’t stick to.

- The first place it does glycate is the proteins throughout the body.

- Type two diabetes is a choice, and it is reversible.

[28:40] Red Blood Cells: A Wonderful Look Inside Your Body

- Red blood cells don’t own a nucleus.

- As you measure depths of chronic inflammation or chronic disease, it correlates directly to how well we get oxygen to our tissues.

- Red blood cell has this unique process that allows this unique molecule without a receptor into the cell.

- Red blood cells do not need a carrying device or receptor to get glucose in.

[46:11] How Can You Rise Your Ketones Effectively?

- Willie has no insulin resistance, has never been overweight, and his body is healthy.

- You should be able to flex and make ketones while you fast overnight.

- You should migrate from always using glucose to at least during the night when you don’t eat to wake up and have some ketones in circulation.

- You are still not medically healthy if you have so much sugar in the morning that there are no ketones around.

[50:49] How Can You Get Your Vitamin G and Oxytocin Boost?

- One of the physical hacks you can do is left-handed loops.

- Do one minute of Jump Rope.

- It is important to take your right hand and work them in coordination with rhythm to use your cerebellum.

[100:48] What are the Positive Effects of the Mitochondrial Uncoupling Process?

- Youth predictions are correlated to the lifespan of mitochondria.

- Inflammation inside mitochondria has so many mechanisms to undo it. Your body is not designed to fail, and it’s designed to fix what you do wrong.

- We can rate people’s health by how many mitochondria are activated inside their muscle cells, brain cells, and astrocytes inside their cardiac cells.

- The cracks that mitochondria have when it is broken are where electrons leak out.

- Male cells are going to have more mitochondria than female cells.

[112:53] Are you depressed? Take Your Vitamin D Now And Replenish Your Brain

- Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a molecule you can’t make if your vitamin D is less than 50.

- Vitamin D changes the survival rate during the pandemic.

- Vitamin D is vital for life.

Dr Amie Hornaman | The Surprising Link Between Insulin Resistance & Poor Thyroid Health, How to Support Your Thyroid With Keto & Intermitting Fasting KKP: 554 Mar 22, 2023

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!

[14:04] Eating Habits and Stress Level: The Culprit Behind Type Two Diabetes

- Type 2 diabetes can manifest itself in a variety of ways. The most serious issues in modern society revolve around our eating habits and stress.

- Always eating high-glucose food will lead to the development of hyperemia and insulin resistance.

- Every time we eat, we raise our insulin levels slightly. So, if you snack and graze for hours daily, you constantly overload your system with insulin drops.

[20:29] Don’t Want To Add Fuel To The Fire? Reduce Your Carbohydrate Consumption

- Glucose, the simple sugar itself, is a hundred percent dependent on insulin to get into ourselves and provide our body with fuel.

- The more carbs and sugar you eat, the more insulin you’re going to produce in response

- Protein has many functions in the body, so there’s minimal insulin response when it comes to eating protein.

- Insulin response in dietary fat is negligible.

- To prevent this disease from happening or getting worse, minimize carbohydrate intake and start a ketogenic diet.

[25:10] The Negative Effects Of Storing Too Much Energy In Your Body

- Accessing that stored energy in your fat is a huge pain. And then the fat cells accumulate, which is not good for your health.

- Our cells are always at capacity when constantly eating these carbs.

- It becomes toxic when you’re always full of energy in cells.

[35:55] Good Stress And Exercising: What Is The Difference?

- When you’re fasting, you activate the sympathetic nervous system, which is the fight or flight nervous system.

- We just want to find the right amount of stress that challenges our bodies.

- It’s about finding a balance.

[40:36] What Is C-Peptide And the benefits of Measuring It?

- C peptides are manufactured by beta cells, and beta cells are the insulin-producing cells in our pancreas.

- People who follow a ketogenic diet and regularly fast have low insulin advancement.

- We would check fasting insulin and C peptides every time to get more of an indicator of the pancreas and its flexibility.

[43:40] The Positive and Negative Effects of Having Low Levels of Insulin

- A Longer ketogenic diet is not that problematic for men.

- Most people inadvertently spike their insulin levels because of the state of society and our relationship with food.

- Megan encourages carb cycling a few times a week for hormonal benefits

- It’s okay for women expecting a baby to eat fewer carbs during the first couple weeks of their cycle. Still, those carbs can be good for progesterone in the second half of the cycle.

[51:43] False Studies And Misconceptions About Fasting You’ll Need To Avoid

- When reading a study, you’ll need to look at the methodology and parameters used.

- False Studies usually look at forms of time-restricted eating, but the controls are not very good.

- Studies that say fasting does not work don’t have controls, and the assessment of the population being tested is not there.

[57:15] Insulin-resistant and metabolically healthy Patient: What Is The Result?

- Patients who do 36 hours of fasting three times don’t have loose skin. Furthermore, their skin tags are going away, and their scars are improving.

- Those who do 20 to 24-hour fast have loose skin.

- People with insulin resistance start with a minimum of the 36-hour protocol.

Nina Teicholz | Eat MORE Saturated Fat, Busting Myths on Red Meat, Why Fish Oil is Toxic, & Why Plant Based Diets FAIL KKP: 552 Mar 18, 2023

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nina Teicholz. She is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise. Teicholz also serves as Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy. She is one of a new generation of researchers arguing that diets lower in carbohydrates are a scientifically sound approach for reversing nutrition-related diseases.

For more than half a century, we’ve been told to eat a diet high in grains, low in fat, saturated fat (and cholesterol), but the last two decades of research have led a growing number of scientists to conclude that this diet, despite being rigorously tested, could never be shown to prevent any kind of disease. Teicholz’s work also explains why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more.

In this episode, Nina opens the show by explaining her obsession with studying fat. Nina realized that people were afraid to talk about fat because the food industry was pushing their agenda. Nina explains what was wrong in the 1950s, leading most people to believe that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Later, we talk about why the American Heart Association gets so many health facts wrong. Tune in as Nina busts common myths around red meat and who is really pushing vegan and vegetarian diets.

[03:00] Why Nina Became Obsessed With Studying Fats

Nina was assigned to write a story on trans-fat. During her research, Nina came across studies pointing out the flaws in a low-fat diet.
However, so many scientists at universities were terrified to talk to Nina about fat. Why? Because people in the food industry were paid to give scientists a hard time.
Nina realized there was something really wrong going on here that had such enormous implications.
Nutrition science from the very beginning has been heavily influenced by the food industry. For instance, the vegetable oil industry wanted to go after people for attacking vegetable oils in any way.
You see the same tactics happening today on social media.

[08:55] Polyunsaturated Fats vs. Saturated Fats vs. Monounsaturated Fats

Fatty acids are long carbon chains.
Poly means many. Polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. Each time there's a double bond in the chain, it kinks the chain.
Some examples of polyunsaturated fats:
- Corn oil
- Safflower oil
- Sunflower oil
- Canola oil
Monounsaturated fats are the same carbon chain but with one double bond. If you want to use oil, it’s better to use olive oil because it only has one double bond.
Saturated means that the carbon chain is statured with hydrogen, and there is no double bond. It is a flat chain, and it makes a solid like butter.
Saturated fats are actually the best for cooking, and they're the healthiest for eating because they do not oxidize or cause inflammation.

[17:55] What Went Wrong In The 1950s With Ancel Keys and President Eisenhower

The idea that fat, cholesterol, and animal foods are bad for health began in the 1950s.
The US was really in a panic over the rising tide of heart disease, which had been virtually nonexistent in the early 1900s.
In the 1930s, heart disease became the number one killer.
A panic started when President Eisenhower himself had a heart attack in 1955.
Eisenhower’s doctor was convinced by Ancel Keys that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease.
Plus, Ancel Keys got his ideas adopted by the American Heart Association.
Ancel came out with a statement saying to avoid saturated fat and cholesterol in order to prevent heart attacks. We are still dealing with this in 2021.

[23:00] Why Are Seed Oils Approved by the American Heart Association?

How is it possible for the American Heart Association to continue to ignore so much scientific literature?
More than 20 papers published in the field have concluded that we got it wrong on saturated fats.
There is no data to justify the authorities' limits on these seed oils.
It’s challenging to trust the government with our health when they recommend seed oils.

[31:00] Sorry Vegans, Meat-Eating Is Healthy For Humans

Nina did not know how controversial red meat was until she put a picture of it on the cover of her book.
Sadly, many people think that if you eat meat, you're a bad person, you don't believe in climate change, and you're not doing your part to protect the climate.
There's this moral revulsion that has been created against meat.
Influencers in the spheres of science and public health have vilified one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
Meat was developed by humans in order to have a convenient and cheap source of protein.

[33:15] Myth: Meat Causes Diabetes

Diabetes is caused by elevated blood sugars. Sugar causes elevated blood sugars, so do carbs.
Where's the sugar in meat? It's just nonexistent.
It's impossible that meat would cause diabetes.
Red meat consumption has gone down around 28% since 1970. Whereas, diabetes has skyrocketed out of control.

[34:15] Myth: Red Meat Causes Colorectal Cancer

The WHO decided that red meat and processed meats cause colorectal cancer.
This decision was based on these kinds of weak science called epidemiological or observational studies that show associations instead of causation.
The data they used was self-reported dietary data, and we all lie about what we eat.
There needs to be a more significant discussion about the bias against red meat.

[38:30] Why People Are Pushing Vegetarian and Vegan Diets

The animal rights movement does not want people eating animals.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a religious belief that people should eat a vegan diet.Plus, the food industry has an enormous investment in plant-based foods.
Also, many companies want to hop on the climate change bandwagon.
Many vegan burgers have vegetable oils that are not healthy.

[41:30] Myth: There’s a Correlation Between Red Meat Consumption and Heart Disease

The original reason that red meat was thought to cause heart disease was based the fact that it contains saturated fat and cholesterol.
However, research shows that saturated fat and cholesterol do not cause heart disease.
Therefore, foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol don't cause heart disease.
The correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease has been more rigorously and extensively studied than almost any other scientific question in the history of nutrition science.

[47:15] Which To Cut First: Smoking Cigarettes, Processed Sugars, or Vegetable Oils

People smoked historically for hundreds of years tobacco, but they did not get cancer or heart disease until the introduction of sugar.
Nina says that smoking is probably safer than processed sugars or vegetable oils.
Between sugar and vegetable oils, Nina says that vegetable oils are safer.
People who go low-carb will see massive improvements even if they continue to use vegetable oils.
