This is the final installment on our interview with Dr. Joan Ifland, on what is and how to deal with the Addiction to Processed Foods. This is perhaps the most important issue in health care, rather self health care. Now that we collectively are entering an era where our health is determined by our dietary choice it is incredibly important to be aware of the ‘engineering’ of our food into great tasting junk devoid of nutrition. That is the state of processed foods today. As Dr. Ifland would say:...

Perhaps now you have your eyebrows raised a bit from what was discussed in part one of the interview with Dr. Ifland, where we covered the nature of addiction the evolution of processed foods in today’s culture. You now know the consequences of blindly letting yourself or your family reach for another bag of doritos, or cheese puffs. Now the question remains what is inherently dangerous about them and how to ‘De-process food’ our diet and what does all of this have to do with the Ketogenic Diet ...

Perhaps there’s no more avoided topic in the entire field of dietary nutrition than “Processed Food Addiction”. The reason it is NOT discussed is because ‘processed foods’ is a vast, complicated, and for the most part, hidden and disguised as to not be easily identified to the consumer. To add to that, the concept of addiction is something we have a difficult time believing applies to us personally because it implies we can’t control our behavior. We tend to think of drugs, or alcohol or tobacco...

What does process food addiction have to do with the Ketogenic Diet? Initially the answer is by dropping the carbs you drop a lot of processed food, usually, in the process. However, for many, it's not that easy...as with most additions...‘Just saying no’ doesn’t always lead to stopping the behavior that we are addicted to. This topic explores the advent of the industrialization of processed foods that started in the late 1980 with the Tobacco companies buying up the food companies and bringing ...

That “cocktail of medications” used for treating behavioral disorders have their side effects as anyone who knows of someone using them would know...some with horrible side effects. Dr. Christopher Palmer, Psychiatrist at Harvard, has been using the Ketogenic Diet as a way to avoid all of that. His story is absolutely jaw-dropping. In this interview he will talk how a “metabolic” intervention might well be a miraculous alternative for people who have been living a lonely life numbed by layers of...

I’m hoping you haven’t caught your breath yet from the first part of the interview where you learned of Dr. Palmer’s first exposure to the Atkins diet and how that changed his life and his father’s life. Now in part II, he delves deeper into the connection between Mental Disorders (Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Depression, Dementia, as examples) and metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity, Cardio-vascular disorders, as examples). Think of epilepsy as an example of both and knowing the some of the medic...

Brace yourselves for part 1 of a spectacular interview with a person who, in my view, is bringing Keto to places no one ever thought possible...Behavioral disorders.

You will love this interview...And will most definitely complain that you’ll have to wait an entire week for part II. —————————COME SAY HI!!! —————————— Facebook G...

To think most people only think the Ketogenic diet is about weight loss... so far from the truth. Nearly 100 years ago the ketogenic diet was created for a neurological disorder: epilepsy. Now 100 years later much of what works for epilepsy works for behavioral disorders as well. Makes Sense. To think though that a ‘dietary’ approach could work for Schizophrenia, Bi-polar, ADHD, Autism, Obsessive - compulsive disorders as well, is revolutionary. This is the very edge where Dr. Christopher Palmer...

We have been developing a comprehensive Keto Coaching Program to address the what we haven’t been able to address in our previous programs. This is a brief explanation about how our next coaching program will go much deeper. We will look at areas that are seldom examined, like nutritional deficiencies, hormones, various labs that are often missed, genetic SNPs (search for potentially troublesome mutations that can be addressed) and even common toxins. All this because because nearly 60 percent o...

This is a podcast devoted entirely to going deep into what exactly C8 triglyceride is, why you would, and how you should use it. From how it affects your metabolism by creating ketones within 15 minutes of consuming it, why it can help one loose weight, make you feel more energetic, to helping with epilepsy. This is a much overlooked fat to add to your ketogenic diet. Whether it’s for weight loss, energy, or athletic performance C8 is very helpful. Links: Recent studies Dr. Cunnane was involved ...

Picking up where Dr. Cunnane left off in part one, we get into other aspects of ketones and what we know about them specifically, brain health, and how the brain’s ability to use ketones as a fuel does not diminish with age. Rather, it is our ability to use glucose as a fuel decreases. Due to the decreasing effectiveness of the insulin to get the glucose into the brain. Sometimes referred to as insulin resistance. The great news is ketones are not a problem and they are available. We talk about ...

The are very, very few people such as Dr. Stephen Cunnane that have done so much work on ‘brain health’ with aging. Though he states others have come before him that have pointed to use of Ketones as an ‘alternative’ fuel for the brain, it is Dr. Cunnane’s work on the ‘Keto-Pet Scan’ that showed just how vital it is. To Many, the work of Dr. Cunnane offers incredible hope in how to restore brain function in those with MCI, mild cognitive impairment and AD. Links: His Book The Survival of the Fat...

Dr. Stephen Cunnane’s work, his life work, has been very influential in how we understand brain health today. More specifically, how we can improve MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and Alzheimer Disease through the use of a Ketogenic diet or consuming highly ketogenic saturated fats or even exogenous ketones. This is a brief background on his work, why it so very significant today, and something you can use. Links: Dr. Cunnane’s presentation at Ohio State Conference August 2018 https://blog.virta...

A tad dramatic?...Absolutely not at all. Driven by a need for few more guaranteed breaths of life. Two almost terminal conditions resolved by doing something unimaginable from their experience.

Also looking into the future with the idea of an entirely new discipline of medicine developing: "Keto Medicine” and what and why this is something very different than anything that has previously existed.

This is a rare opportunity to go deeper on the Ketogenic Diet with someone who has been using it for many different conditions. Even though his practice is outwardly focused on obesity within the Diet and Lifestyle Clinic at Duke University, many other conditions are referred to his practice exclusively to have people learn about and how to implement the Ketogenic Diet due to its many health restoring attributes. Having witnessed first hand how effective his practice is I can certainly testify t...

This is a quick summary of the major point, and the important points, that Dr. Ben Bocchicchio presented. I did this quick podcast to make sure the basics were understood and could be implemented by everyone. Dr. Ben Bocchicchio was WAAAAY a head of the others.

The Shot heard round the world. “… the origin of carcinogenesis resides with the mitochondria in the cytoplasm, not the with the genome in the Nucleus.” Researchers have transplanted the nucleus (it’s DNA) of a cancer cell into a healthy cell that had its nucleus removed. When that new combined cell with healthy cytoplasm and mitochondria but DNA from the cancer was injected into mice no cancer developed. But when the cancer cell with the nucleus of a healthy cell was injected into mice, those m...

"Bottom line: where are tumor cells getting their energy from?" This is the entire focus of "Cancer as Metabolic Disease" and Dr. Seyfried’s work. His years of research have lead him to what many of us believe is an incredible breakthrough in treating cancer based on metabolism (what is the source of energy for tumors) and then how to starve the tumor of these fuels, killing the cancer but not the patient. Absolutely key to this therapeutic approach is a calorie restricted Ketogenic Diet. Listen...
