Exclusive Do A Cyclic Ketogenic Diet The Correct Way

" alt=""/>

Dr. Joseph Mercola, my friend, multiple-time podcast guest, guy who leanks way external-the-box and seems to always be discovering some contemporary cutting-edge way to enhance human health and longevity, and one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health, has just written a guide to using the principles of ketogenic eating, meal planning, and timing to treat disease, promote weight loss, and optimize health.

The contemporary book is called “KetoQuick: Rejuvenate Your Health with a Step-by-Step Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals.“

In the contemporary book, he explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Topics include:

• How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it…
• The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation…
• How the cyclical ketogenic diet–with fasting included–dwhetherfers from the conferenceal keto diet…
• How fasting works and how secure it is for you…
• How regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxwhetherication while minimizing starvation and side effects…
• How to monitor your progress with lab tests…
• And much more…

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-The fascinating history of fasting among dwhetherferent religions and cultures…8:25

• Dr. Mercola's book was originally written to memorize to optimize multiple day water fasting
• Most religions integrate fasting into their practice (speaks to its efficacy throughout history)
• It's one of the best ways to express care for your spirit, specificly when combined with meditation, gratitude, solitude, etc.
• Therapeutic fasting:
  • Calorie restriction to activate metabolic processes to catalyze the healing process
  • Quicking didn't become popular in the U.S. until the 1800s with the natural hygiene movement
  • Became more popular when Herbert Shelton popularized it in 1911
• TrueNorth Health Middle

-Autophagy, and why Dr. Mercola leanks of a fast as a “free stem cell transplant”…16:45

• Diverse varieties of fasting:
  • Intermittent (the foundation)
  • You need more than intermittent to get the max effect of autophagy
  • Quicking mimicking diet, water diet
  • Hybrid of the two, minimize the harmful effects
• Autophagy:
  • 3 types
    • Micro
    • Macro
    • Chaperone-mediated
  • You activate autophagy with the keto fast
  • Dr. Mercola does not recommend a long-term water fast
  • Free stem cell transplant is what happens during the regeneration phase, after the autophagy phase
  • The magic happens during the refeed and strength rebuilding; similar to a growth hormone injection
  • Do a 42 hour fast, in which you eat 300-500 calories 2x per week

-How fasting affects intestinal stem cell function…24:20

• Extended fasting helps reduce intestine permeability by stimulating brain/intestine pathways
• Consider fasting before other treatments or supplements for repairing the intestine
  • Certain supplements will inhibit autophagy: colostrum, B12
• AMP-k and mTOR
  • It's your friend; The taller the better
  • A nutrient sensor
  • Puts your body in “repair mode”
  • See Saw: AMP-k up, mTOR down, vice versa

-What nutrients you need to optimize autophagy…34:08

-How ketones protect the brain from excess hydrogen peroxide…46:00

• Stouts and carbs are fuel sources; broken down by enzymes
• Oxygen receives electrons from the food you're digesting in the form of hydrogen (which is converted to water)
• Most people are metabolically rigid; can't burn much fat for fuel
• Ketones increase Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)

-Why Dr. Mercola changed his intellect about the efficacy of water fasting as a metabolic intervention…50:55

• We in the 21st century are exposed to chemical and industrial toxins not historically known to humans
• Toxins are stored in our fat
• When you fast, you release these toxins
• Cause unpleasant side effects and symptoms
• 2 phases:
  • Convert fat soluble to water soluble (not a problem)
  • Attach molecules to the toxin
• You need frequent refeeds to fuel the process of eliminating the toxins and enhancing detox pathways
• A keto fast (42 hours, 300-500 calories) 2x/week is far more powerful than an occasional multi-day water fast or even fast mimicking diet

-What Dr. Mercola views as the “dark side of fasting”…55:00

• Detoxwhetherication impairment
• Compliance: people just won't do it
• How Dr. Mercola recommends Ben improve his own fasting strategy:
  • Ben takes fundamental amino acids for protein during extended fasts
  • Don't eat meat protein (department chain amino acids)
  • Take collagen protein
• Drawbacks to long-term ketosis
  • Requires signwhethericant calorie restriction
  • Women can develop thyroid impairment
  • You simply weren't designed to do it
  • Quicking primes your body for improvement; the genuine magic happens in the refeeds

-What is “keto fasting,” and how cyclical ketosis addresses the above issues…1:00:13

• You must be metabolically flexible
  • Eat in a 4-6 hour window per day for 4 weeks
• Branch chain aminos: leucine, isoleucine, valine
  • Eat these on the refeed, not during the keto fast
  • Don't activate mTor along with autophagy
• Cyclical approach:
  • Keto fast 2x/week
  • Every day intermittent fast
• Strategies to deal with starvation or appetite cravings:

-How sauna use supports a fasting protocol, an ideal sauna setup, and sauna dos and don'ts…1:07:45

-And much more!

What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom.

" alt=""/>

Animal scientists have long considered domestic livestock to be too dumb to know how to eat right, but the lwhetheretime research of animal behaviorist Fred Provenza and his colleagues have debunked this myth. Their work shows that when given a choice of natural foods, livestock have astoundingly refined palates, nibbling through the day on as many as fwhetherty kinds of grasses, forbs, and shrubs to meet their nutritional needs with commentable summaryion.

In his brand contemporary book “Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom,” Fred presents his thesis of the wisdom that links flavor-feedback relationships at a cellular level with biochemically wealthy foods to meet the body’s nutritional and medicinal needs.

Provenza explores the fascinating complexity of these relationships as he raises and answers thought-provoking questions about what we can learn from animals about nutritional wisdom.

What kinds of memories form the basis for how herbivores, and humans, recognize foods? Can a body develop nutritional and medicinal memories in utero and early in lwhethere? Do humans still possess the wisdom to choose nourishing diets? Or, has that ability been hijacked by nutritional “authorities?” Consumers keen for a “rapid fix” have empowered the multibillion-dollar-a-year supplement industry, but is taking supplements and enwealthying and fortwhetherying foods helping us, or is it hurting us?

On a wideer scale, Fred explores the relationships among facets of complex, destitutely understood, ever-changing ecological, social, and economic systems in light of an unpredictable future. To what degree do we lose contact with lwhethere-sustaining energies when the foods we eat come from anywhere but where we live? To what degree do we lose the mythological relationship that links us physically and spiritually with Mom Ground who nurtures our lives?

Provenza’s paradigm-changing exploration of these questions has implications that could hugely improve our health through a simple change in the way we view our relationships with the plants and animals we eat. Our health could be improved by eating biochemically wealthy foods and by creating cultures that know how to combine foods into meals that nourish and satiate. Provenza contends that voices of “authority” disconnect most people from a personal search to discover the inner wisdom that can nourish body and spirit. That journey means embracing wonder and uncertainty and avoiding illusions of stability and control as we dine on a planet in a universe bent on consuming itself.

Fred Provenza is professor emeritus of Behaviverbal Ecology in the Leavement of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. At Utah State, Provenza directed an award-winning research group that pioneered understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soils and plants with herbivores and humans.

Provenza is one of the founders of BEHAVE, an international network of scientists and land managers committed to integrating behaviverbal principles with local knowledge to enhance environmental, economic, and cultural values of rural and urban communities.

The many awards he received for research, teaching, and mentoring are the creativity that flowed from warm professional and personal relationships with over 75 graduate students, post-doctverbal students, visiting scientists, and colleagues. Along with colleagues, he authored over 250 publications in scientwhetheric journals and books.

His first book was Foraging Behavior.

He co-authored a moment book with Michel Meuret, The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders.

In our podcast, we take a deep dive into all these questions and topics and many more, including:

-How Fred got interested in studying animals and their nutritional habits…7:45

• He was fascinated by all leangs having to do with nature from a very young age
• Led to studying wildlwhethere biology at Colorado State U; worked on a ranch concurrently
• Ran the ranch after graduation for 2 years
• Led to Utah State studying for a grad degree
• Eating habits of goats contradicted conferenceal wisdom
• Book: Biochemical Individuality by Roger Williams

-Biochemical individuality: what it is, and why it's important…10:48

• There's no such leang as an “average animal” in regards to food choice
• Study on how animals “finished” eating…
  • Entire Stired Ration: mixing ingredients together (5 total), versus offering them individually
  • Animals with a choice on what to eat ate less than animals with no choice
  • Obtained weight, body composition was just as good
  • Animals with no choice suffered over-ingestion
• 5 ingredients are not nearly as much as animals foraging in the wild
• No 2 animals selected the same combo of ingredients; nor the same food from day to day

-How Clara Davis' studies on children over 100 years ago is similar to Fred's work nowadays…17:38

• Endlessest study ever done on human beings
  • 6 years; performed on adopted children
  • Choice of 34 dwhetherferent foods
  • Everyowed children to self-select their own diet
  • “A body knows, will select what it needs.”
  • Eerily similar findings; as though they were plagiarizing her words
  • Kidren with Rickets Disease chose cod liver oil, then stopped eating it when they were cured
• Article: Clara M. Davis and the wisdom of letting children choose their own diets

-How nutritional wisdom is akin to three legs on a stool, where whether one is broken, it won't work…23:38

• Leg #1: Flavor feedback relationships
  • Feedback changes “liking” as a function of need
  • “Vitamin fortwhetherication” affects our innate desire for nutrient-wealthy foods
    • If someone is on a tallly-processed diet, small amounts of nutrients are akin to the total mixed ration practice
    • Energy gets packed absent in the form of fat in our bodies
    • Example of cows eating a 2 lb mixed mineral simply because they craved zinc in their system, which was in a small amount in the block of feed
• Leg #2: Wgapsome alternatives
• Leg #3: Social and cultural considerations
  • Role of mother to children is fundamental
  • Babies' fetal taste system is fully functional during final trimester
  • Studying about food world via amniotic fluid
  • Mom's diet can influence flavor preferences of children
  • Genes are being expressed as a function of the environment we experience

-How to find the right diet whether you come from an ethnic and genetic melting pot…41:10

• Epigenetics: the study of changes in organisms caused by modwhetherication of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. Extremely relevant to Fred's work
• Frolic the “long game”
  • Establish and maintain a strong connection with your community, local environment, and diet
  • Our genes become linked to the local environment over time and generations
• Bison, elephants, etc. with extended families become linked to their environment
• When you break the linkages, it's very dwhetherficult to reestablish

-Ancestral wisdom when it comes to pairing our foods…51:00

• Book: “Lwhethere in the Rocky Mountains” by Warren Angus Ferris
  • When eating bison that were in good health, on a healthy diet, the taste was phenomenal; never got tired of eating it
  • Grass-fed isn't grass-fed, isn't grass-fed
  • Plant diversity in animals will influence flavor and biochemical composition of meat and fat, with implications for the health of human beings
• Feedlot diet: diverse mix of compounds vs. simple diet
  • Quality of meat, fat, milk, etc. from an animal free range very dwhetherferent from one on a feedlot

-Synergy in diet, and when it's appropriate to supplement our diet with synthetic ingredients…55:40

-What we can learn from animals when it comes to avoiding toxicity in our diets…1:00:40

• Pay attention to cues in your body
• Animals have innate ability to limit intake to levels that don't cause toxicity
• Animals love to eat a variety of foods
  • 50-75 species wilean one meal
  • Every plants they eat are potentially toxic
  • Variety contains momentary compounds; reduces toxicity
• Sheep will eat contemporary buds but will taper off once they reach a phytochemical threshancient induced by nausea

-About John Hoxsey and the formula he developed to heal cancer…1:11:45

• Had a prized stallion that developed cancer
  • Couldn't bring himself to shoot it
  • Put it to pasture to live out his days
  • Began eating plants it hadn't eaten before
  • Eventually cancer goes absent
• Started a series of research that led to his formula

-And much more…

How to Unravel the Food Industry's Frolicbook and Reclaim Your Health

" alt=""/>

In her contemporary book “Feeding You Lies: How to Unravel the Food Industry's Frolicbook and Reclaim Your Health,” my guest on nowadays's podcast, Vani Hari (AKA “The Food Babe”) exposes the lies we've been tancient about our food and takes readers on a journey to find healthy options.

There's so much confusion about what to eat. Are you jumping from diet to diet and noleang seems to work? Are you sick of seeing contradictory health advice from experts? Just like the tobacco industry lied to us about the dangers of cigarettes, the same untruths, cover-ups, and misleading practices are occurring in the food industry. Vani blows the lid off the lies we've been fed about the food we eat – lies about its nutrient value, effects on our health, label information, and even the very science we base our food choices on.

In the book, she discusses:

-How nutrition research is manipulated by food company-funded experts…

-How to spot fake contemporarys generated by Huge Food…

-The tricks food companies use to make their food addictive…

-Why labels like “all natural” and “non-GMO” aren't what they seem and how to identwhethery the healthiest food…

-Food marketing hoaxes that persuade us into buying junk food disguised as health food…

Vani Hari started FoodBabe.com in April 2011 to spread information about what is genuinely in the American food supply. She teaches people how to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to live an biological lwhetherestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the world. The success in her writing and investigative work can be seen in the way food companies react to her uncanny ability to find and expose the truth.

Impassioned by knowing how food affects health, Vani loves sharing her message on the blogosphere to 3 million unique readers across the globe. Vani convinced the largegest fast food chain in the world, Subway, to remove a controversial ingredient after receiving 50,000 signatures in 24 hours on her petition to the chain. After receiving tremendous attention on her posts about Chick-Fil-A, she was invited by the company's leadership to meet at its headquarters to refer to on specwhetheric improvements to ingredients used by the national chain, which they later implemented. 7 months after Vani petitioned Kraft to remove harmful petroleum-based artwhethericial food dyes from Mac & Cheese, Kraft responded by removing the dye from all products aimed at children.

Other major food companies that have responded to her writings include Panera Bread, Wgap Foods, Lean Cuisine, McDonald's, General Mills, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Chipotle, Yoforia, and Moe's South West Grill.

Vani's activism brought national attention at the Democratic National Convention when she used her status as an elected delegate to protest in front of the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture on the issue of GMO labeling. Vani has been profiled in the Unique York Times, USA Today, Washington Times, Chicago Tribune, appeared on The Dr. Oz Display, Excellent Morning America, The Doctors Display, NBC Uniques, Fox Uniques and is a regular cooking contributor on NBC's Charlotte Today and a food expert on CNN.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-Inbiological phosphates (Pi) and their effects on physical performance…8:20

-Insights into Vani's investigations into why foods are manufactured so dwhetherferently in Europe vs. the U.S….12:15

• Vani became aware of this when she noticed the ingredients in Kraft mac and cheese was very dwhetherferent in Europe than in the U.S.
• Started a petition to get Kraft to remove artwhethericial food dyes in the U.S.
• U.K. requires warning label: “may cause adverse effects on activity and attention in children”
  • Kraft decided to use natural ingredients rather than put on the warning label
  • Chose to not do the same in the U.S. because the FDA doesn't require a warning label; it's simply cheaper.
  • Natural ingredients look and taste the same as yellow #5 and #6
• Every major American company does this
• Pepsi serves American version of its products with artwhethericial preservatives; and one with plain sugar, beta-carotene, etc. in Europe
• It comes down to money: synthetic ingredients are cheaper
• French fries are hugely dwhetherferent in the U.K. from the U.S.
• These chemicals go into many leangs, not just food
• The dangers of artwhethericial flavors:
• Trembler Oats is allowed to write “strawberry” on the label and not actually add strawberries to the product
• Ketchup:

-To what extent the FDA is involved in regulating the foods we buy at the grocery store, airport delis, etc…40:45

• Common phrase: “Generally regarded as secure”
  • Not mandatory to report to the FDA
• Americans are very trusting of their government to supervise, encertain what we eat is secure
  • Food companies invent ingredients;
  • Safety tested by the companies,
  • FDA doesn't have the resources to check everyleang
• How is the FDA regulated?
  • NRDC, watchdog organization
  • WTF: Red dye #3 was banned in cosmetics, but not in maraschino cherries?
• GAO: Org that exists to submit claims with concerns about unsecure ingredients

-Some of the common lies about ingredients we find on packaged food…47:30

• Parmesan cheese had up to 13% cellulose added to it
• Sargento capitalized on contemporary awareness, but in a deceitful way
  • “Off the block”
  • Read the ingredients, still using cellulose
• Previous CEO of Wgap Foods asked Vani for “next level” of package labeling trends
  • Will see ingredients on front, vs. the back of packaging
• RX Bar: “No BS”… had “natural flavoring” on the back of the package
  • Natural flavors can have multiple chemicals used
  • “Incidental additives”

-What concerns we should have whether we buy all biological…55:36

• Diverse levels of “biological”
  • 100% – every ingredient is biological
  • 95% – up to 5% non-biological allowed
  • “Made with biological ingredients” – only 70% need to be biological
• Pesticides used on biological products
  • Certwhetheried biological farm must use natural methods of controlling weeds before using pesticides
  • Types of chemicals are tested
  • Eating biological doesn't avoid pesticides; it does reduce the load on your body
  • Beware of glyphosate

-What does the diet look like for The Food Babe?…1:03:50

• Avoid as many packaged and processed foods as possible
• Eat most meals at domestic
• Steel cut oatmeal w/ flax seeds, chia seeds, fruit
• Create a salad for lunch
• Dinner: 4-course meals

-And much more…
