When the scales of your life tip just a little too far and your health begins to unravel fast before you realize what's happening you, it's seem like it's mere folly to even think there's a way out. This podcast is about what it took to come back from a near fatal health collapse in my life. Spoiler alert: The answer is work, persistance, and not loosing your sense of caring for yourself. Concepts had to change. Personal beliefs had to be re-assessed, retested and reconstructed. This is about th...

As life leads us all in one direction only, getting older, some things happen to us metabolically whether we want or not and that is obvious aging. In terms of Muscle mass, muscle synthesis, protein requirements some factors are becoming clearer about what it is we must do as we get older both individually and collectively. First , our protein requirement increases as we age (past 25) and especially after 50. Second , our appetites decrease. Third , our metabolism, shifts to breaking muscle down...

Dr. Karl asks the question: How did we get here, a nation, a country, a culture, that is growing weaker at a younger and younger age. In the US., an estimated 53% of men and 43% of women over 80 are sarcopenic Most adults in the US achieve their peak muscle mass sometime in their 30s. People who are physically inactive can lose as much as 3 -5% of their muscle mass per decade after age 30 The factors facing us all are surmountable, but not taught us or encourage or required by our education syst...

Most of us understand what it means to be a carnivore, as a human or an animal. Being an obligate carnivore, however, requires something completely different. If a cat does not get all its nutritional requirements met, it will become ill and die. Almost all cat food is processed, and that initiates a prolonged and gradual nutritional deficiency for cats. Understanding the protein requirements of cats has made Dr. Karl become a more serious carnivore for the sake of his health. A lesson from cats...

It is simple enough to know that everyone needs protein. Yet, the protein that people are consuming has been decreasing over the years. It is particularly low in adults over the age of 50. To compensate, people are consuming more carbohydrates. Unfortunately, most of those carbohydrates are refined and processed. A simple change that will create a long-lasting and sustainable change is to increase your protein to the appropriate level and keep it there. The Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) i...

Something that nobody is talking about today is the mental health crisis in the US that was exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. A low-carb keto diet and genomic testing can do a lot to change that situation easily. Now is the time to start! Today, Dr. Karl will be going over the serious issue of mental illness in the US (and worldwide) that appears to have worsened since the pandemic. Mental illness includes severe depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, amongst oth...

Seven years ago, Dr. Karl started looking into how to purchase C8 MCT Oil in liquid form because it was not available anywhere. He thought it could help to heal his gut from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and render his impending surgery unnecessary. And it did! That made him look even deeper into why it worked so well. He learned all about ketones and how they were anti-inflammatory. That required him to learn about ketosis and the ketogenic diet. So, his fascination with the rabbit hol...

Did you know that many blood sugar problems (dysglycemia) are closely related to psychological conditions, like bipolar, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder? It is also almost unbelievable that approximately 60% of people with diabetes have some type of mental disorder, and some people have known genetic SNPs that predispose them to schizophrenia. That also makes one wonder about the connections related to bipolar and other mental disorders. That concept was not etched in stone. But the...

In Dr. Karl’s view, Dr. Gaby is singularly the most authoritative person when it comes down to what we know about supplements and their specific applications for various conditions. Dr. Gaby spent almost 40 years studying, accumulating, and applying various supplements. He has become the definitive source for determining what we know about supplements and how to use them to benefit us and improve our health. We are currently a culture overwhelmed by the clever marketing of false information, par...

The Överkalix study could be one of the most important studies ever done to show that some of the changes passed down to the next generation have little to do with one’s parents’ DNA. Those changes are more about the stresses that one’s parents’ grandparents (including the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of the fathers) experienced pre-puberty. That study changed everything in terms of how the scientific world looked at genetic inheritance. One man spent most of his life documenting it, yet ...

40,000 babies were born during the Dutch winter famine of 1944-1945. It was the first time in documented history that all the details of the effects of famine could get followed for generations to come. For those pregnancies that survived, the results were unexpected in many ways. This episode is about what we learned. Today, Dr. Karl continues to explain the value of the Dutch Winter Famine of 1944-1945. The precise time frame in which it happened, coupled with the literacy, education, and the ...

Never before in history has there ever been such a well-documented, yet devastating, famine that affected so many people. In the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944-1945, food got shut off for 4.5 million people of all classes for seven months. The caloric intake dropped to 450 calories per person. Then, almost instantaneously after the war ended, everyone had all the food they needed. The effects of that on that entire population got tracked for a generation. The children born to pregnant mothers were ...

It’s unbelievable to think that there’s a method to assess your genetic mutations and to support your aberrant mutations that are hypo-functioning and hyper-functioning to create a better metabolic life. That has to do with learning ‘what you are made of’, in terms of your genetic (genome) report, and seeing what areas of your genes contribute to everything from a sense of holding you back to contributing to various disorders and diseases. Last time, we spoke about depression, suicidal ideation,...

Whether you refer to the teenagers in your family, your children, or possibly even yourself, everyone’s lives have become very restricted during COVID, and that creates the risk of severe depression. This podcast connects the dots of some things you can do to change that for everybody. Today, Dr. Karl will continue with the idea of GABA versus glutamate. He will explain how ketosis or ketones affect that and how applying GABA reduces rates of suicide. He will also discuss crisis management aroun...

The increasing rates of suicide and addiction are serious issues that seldom get discussed publicly, and most people tend to think that there is nothing that can be done about them. Contrary to that is the use of ketones and ketosis to change one’s emotional disposition. That information is serious and important, and it is not difficult to understand it or carry it out. We hope you will agree with that as we all climb out of this pandemic together. Covid The first reports of Covid came out a yea...

Long before you come to a formal diagnosis, there is a lot that you can do to improve your situation without the use of any medication. It’s time to look into some basic and some of the less basic things that you can do for yourself, like getting to know about your genome “SNPs”, the light you get exposed to, vitamin D, and getting off carbs as much as possible. Although the results will be dramatic, they will be slow at first. There is so much more to share, but this is a place to start. Today,...

S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) keeps coming back for many of us every winter, and as we get older, it gets harder for us to deal with it. The risk factors for S.A.D. include being female, living far from the equator, having a family history, and having an MTHFR gene mutation. All of that is true for Dr. Karl, apart from being female. In this episode, we share some things you can try for yourself. We know that some people have a genetic predisposition for S.A.D., and that also needs to be l...

Dr. Karl first got exposed to genomic mutations (SNPs) back in 2003, when he worked with autistic children. At the time, he thought that he had found correlations (spoiler alert- autism is very multifactorial) with that condition. Then he began requesting other SNP lab tests with his patients. The helpfulness of those tests has not diminished over the years. He now includes the SNP as part of the four panels he does on his clients in his flagship program (Bio-Integration Code). It has helped him...

In our last episode, we covered the beginning of what we do in this program. Dr. Karl’s intention is for you to get to know the various components personally because he feels that it is reasonable for you to seek out a local physician wherever you live. It is more than likely that you will find a physician in your area who is doing, or at least thinking, in the same way as Dr. Karl does. Dr. Karl put all the components together, and with a lot of struggling, managed to create a process that can ...

Today, Dr. Karl will be covering how to do his 90-days, deep-dive, data-driven program to help people with certain conditions know what is going on with them, and how to treat it. He will discuss four different conditions: infertility, hormone-imbalance, Crohn's disease, and obesity, and explain how people can address and get to understand them more deeply. He will go through four different panels and make the information in each of them easy for you to understand. Dr. Karl suggests that upon he...

Hint: IGF-1 plays a vital role in all of this. But how? We will be giving you some more information on Laron Syndrome, in addition to that which we shared in the podcast that we did on the same topic about two years ago, in order for you to gain a simple and practical understanding of ...

Happy New Year to all our listeners! Today’s podcast is an important one for many people and specifically for the lady who sent Dr. Karl an email all about Lipedema, which he unfortunately lost and was never able to find again. This podcast is about how Dr. Karl would approach things if talking to someone who needed help with Lipedema. His method is comprehensive and thorough, and it is way more helpful than just using Keto. Nobody truly knows what causes Lipedema, so you have to take a broad lo...

There is so much noise and intentional misinformation around keto, low carb, and carnivore that people quit before they even start. How my past has lead to creating the safest, most efficient method for long-term weight loss has meant learning to recognize intentionally misleading information and go around it. Based on labs, data tracking, and the addiction model of treating people due to the industrialization of the food manufacturing industry, the tonnage of processed foods produced primarily ...

People often ask Dr. Goldkamp about what the “keto rash” is and why they get it. He has never seen it or experienced it himself, so he decided to look into who gets that kind of rash and why. In this episode, Dr. Goldkamp also looks into some new research related to lung improvement with keto and why so many people have reported being able to breathe easier as they get into it.
