I bet you thought it was ENTIRELY about the carbs you were eating that were responsible for your weight gain, or slide into mild cognitive impairment. Well, you're not entirely wrong, however, having lots of carbs puts an increased demand on your ability use and produce choline. High carbs are one of the reasons for the choline deficiency, the other reason is that some people 25 - 40+ percent are limited in their abilty to use and manufacture choline (from Bile, to acetyl choline a vital neurotr...

This has been asked for often, that is what can I expect to happen with my labs when I start 'keto'. That is a very broad question, so I have ignored in favor of a more specific narrower topic. However, it is time to take a shot at creating an overview of what one can expect to happen with their labs. One central theme to this answer is so so much depends on where (ie what metabolic state) one is starting. We are very different from eachother metabolically, genomically, and nutritionally and tho...

Nothing like learning of a friend's avoidable death, and seeing the devastation it creates in other people lives that were close to him. What I'm referring to is that I Lost a friend to covid these last few weeks… just when we all thought the worst of it had past us by. Like the last soldier to die in a war after the end of the hostilities, but before it was declared officially over. He had all of the ‘co-morbidities’ big time in addition to having ethnic pre-dispostion to obesity and diabetes b...

In part two of this interview with Dr. Artemis Simopoulos we go deeper into understanding the omega 6/3 ratio and how to use this, and how many people and doctors don't know what this means. We talked about her focus on 'Precision Nutrition' nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics and why those are so very important to know about. What kind of oil she puts on her salad and much, much more.

We often use the expression in research, medicine and science that we 'stand on the shoulders of giants' which is to mean that all of what we know today was because of those bold doctors, scientists, that did the work that we now accept as true. What isn't often added is that those 'Giants', the pioneers were publicly ridiculed, and disagreed with for years before their work became appreciated. And often when their research and discoveries were accepted it was in silence, without public acknowle...

I was lucky to be able to talk to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos about her life's work on essential fatty acids and genetics. She has been the foundation for much of what we know about the importance of omega 3, and the omega 6: 3 ratio and why that is so important. She her works, of over 365 scientific papers, and having edited over 50 books in her field is evidence of her overwhelming work she has done over the last 50 years. From arguing with Senator George McGovern in the 1970s over what was to beco...

If you have had the privilege of ever seeing someone transform their physical appearance by doing a protein sparing modified fast, then you will be wondering, as I am. How can that be possible. I talk about why and what happens to those people. What if they were finally getting the amount of protein they required, or was it due to all the things they were no longer consuming that were bad for them and their metabolism? Kind of both ... but how is that. Facebook Group about Keto: https://www.face...

Today we’re talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet. The popular (mis)perception of keto We hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do. The truth, however, is that there is no accountability to the definition of what keto is. About 90% of all the information comes from marketers who have never done keto before, and what...

For some, this is the long a waited topic, conversation, that many feel represents their experience most accurately. It's for the people who have endured the often unnecessary work of getting started with the Ketogenic diet only to have it become a thoroughly frustrating time and effort. For others, this might be too ‘granular’ in terms of talking about the specific variables required to create a successful outcome. For me it has become a realization in my ‘quest’ of how to have Keto work for ev...

It’s been at least 6 years since we began our journey on the Ketogenic diet. Learned a lot that I didn’t know when we started and the technology has most certainly changed as well. Put both of those together and it is an entirely different world in which to start Keto. I think you’ll get some insight bits of actionable recommendations when you listen to the story.

The world of methylation is cracking open wide in its applications to health and longevity.

Whether you believe it or not, your life ... rather your ability to live (an ideally healthy life) is limited to a few absolutely vital factors of your biology, your metabolism, oxygen, clean unpolluted water, and your ability to produce and have adequate amount of glutathione in your body. It is the definitive antioxidant and it is under assault from many sides. Because it is vital and mostly found in your liver and is a major factor in detoxification being low on it is often sited as a cause f...

THE most common question sent into me is about weight loss, more accurately fat loss. My short answer to the is a month focused on a protein sparing fast.

However you want to refer the this passing pandemic it is clear the most metabolically compromised were the ones who have suffered the most. This is both in terms of death rates and those that are consider 'long haulers'. Obesity is high on the list of those who are metabolically compromised. This begs the question as to why, and why is there a concurrent and per-existing obesity epidemic and has this per-disposed those who are obese to being more susceptible to COVID. If so then how did that ha...

So what it the Big Fat Lie about Keto and Protein Sparing Modified fast? It comes in 3 parts: 1. Fear of saturated fats has been completely reversed that's to many phenomenal researchers 2. High fat and low carb Keto is really not only not necessary but arguably not recommended unless you have epilepsy 3. The fat you use cannot be processed omega 6 oils.

Clearly the issue of omega 6 to omega 3 ratio has been a topic for as least since I started med school in the early 1990s, last century now. This begs the question: if it has been an issue for this long than why haven't doctors been doing the very inexpensive lab test that would show this, the omega panel? We'll I have been doing that and have been equally perplexed by the consistently lop-sided ratio in favor of extremely high omega 6. As a young doc I had assumed it was due to meat verses plan...

Did you know that Samoans living in New Zealand have an incredibly high incidence type 1 diabetes. It's an auto-immune disorder as opposed to type II which is life style induced . A pediatrician who practiced in New Zealand was so concerned about this he began looking into it with his own patience. His Name was Dr. Robert Elliot. Dr. Elliot died in August 2020 just 2 months after he was knighted by the queen of England for his contributions to medicine. His research about the Samoan in his count...

This has always been a popular topic: does the protein you eat increase your blood glucose levels. "Spike your blood sugar levels" is what is used by those who want you to fear protein and become hyper vigilant your diet if not neurotic. The relative truth of that statement depends on just one variable, and that is the amount of carbohydrates you consume. Looking back on this 'debate' my only regret is that I was too polite, rather not aggressive enough in presenting what I knew was correct. I w...

Over a year ago I attended a lowcarb USA conference where Dr. Rob Cywes gave a talk. Can't remember what his talk was about but he a statement that the protein you eat turns to sugar. I thought that was incorrect an so waiting in the question line to ask if he would clarify that for me. That didn't change anything. I thought then, and still do that was an irresponsible and primarily untrue statement to make. One of the people who ran the conference decided to set up debate between us and this is...

Did you know that the 'auto-pilot' mechanism actually never indicates whether or not the plane is on the scheduled route. It only works by notifying the pilot that the plane is off course and needs to be corrected and gives the direction back to where it should be. but while it is on course, and everything is working fine, there is not indication that is the case. It is merely the lack of 'off-course- indications of warning lights and alarms that lets them know they're on track. Kind of counter-...

Seems like in life nothing is a straight line is it? Except possibly when looking back in hindsight and then you can see how things line up, how your experiences were additive and sequential in just the right magically difficult way. So it was for me, bankrupt, dying (certainly my wife thought I was 'passing on') grieving over family losses, and extremely in debt. Ouch!! I left medicine behind, simmering with an anger over why things didn't work out and disorientation as to what was my future. I...

If there was one question that people ask me over and over it is how do I loose weight so I won't have to do it again ever. People ask because everyone has a plan, a program, something you should do and believe it's the only way to achieve weight loss.

The misinformation and myths around dietary protein required for optimal health are everywhere. One claim meant to scare those on a ketogenic from having what they consider is too much protein, says that it will 'spike your blood glucose levels. Oh really! Such a claim is now relatively easy to put to bed merely by letting people decide for themselves by wearing a CGM (continual glucose monitor) for a couple of weeks or tracking it via a glucometer.
