The Ketogenic diet, way of eating, has completely changed our lives (mine and my wife’s). However, through the 7 years we’ve been doing it, we’ve made a lot of changes. Since we’ve started there have been many unsubstantiated and untrue claims made by health practitioners of all types and through the hyper commercialization of so many ‘Keto’ products. Let me separate the facts from the fiction in terms of what ketone can most definitely do for you.Dr. Brianna Stubbs - Role of Ketone SupplementsMinute 3 comparing endogenous ketone vs exogenous ketonesCatch the truth:ketogenic diet is good for weight loss, exogenous ketone are not!!

Yes, it can certainly be a ‘rabbit hole’ of what appears to be minutia of information. Yet if you don’t get stuck interpreting every SNP (single nuclear polymorphism) and stand back just a little to see a bigger picture some of this information can be not only useful but some you can actually act on. Before you delve into attempting to analyze your own personal collection of SNPs just know that our ancestors didn’t know a thing about this and lived healthy, long lives. Today however our diet is far from natural, and the air and water is far from clean, consequently it has put more of us in vulnerable situations than our ancestors ever imagined possible or even cared to think about.Let's talk about the ‘HOW’ this information can be used to benefit you.Genetic control of methylation can affect your healthThe Rapid Metabolic Benefits of a Carbohydrate-Restricted DietWhat Is the COMT Gene?

What your genome is and how to use it without being controlled by it.Today anything is possible, we are told. All you need is the correct information and you can change anything. In the world of one’s genome, getting hold of your very personal and very specific data of your entire chromosome is starting to sound almost ordinary. For many, that assumption leads them to having their data interpreted by any one of a number of companies that will show you your genetic vulnerabilities and what you should do about them (hint: buy their supplements tailor made for you and your specific genome).If it were only that easy! We are not there yet, In my experience, but there are some extraordinary things our genome can help us with. Did you ever wonder how being fat adapted in ketosis might affect that? We are just beginning to find out.Article reference:the Rapid Metabolic Benefits of a Carbohydrate-Restricted DietJoin our 5 day PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) Challenge HEREBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook G

This podcast takes a different approach to laying out what we now know about the anthropological facts about our diet by introducing you to the people who have been part of putting the pieces together for us.  I’ll recap and reference the speakers that opened my eyes as to what we can claim historically.  I encourage you to follow up on the link references.  Every presentation is worth watching or listening to more than once.

As an interruption to what I had intended to present for this podcast I decided that I needed to respond to some ‘mis-information’ regarding DAIRY.Hope this won’t offend you. My clinical experience over 16 years disagrees with what I would consider a very incomplete review about the health concerns of dairy. The referenced Youtube presentation I responded toJoin our 5 day PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) Challenge HEREBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelDownload our Free Keto Foods ListBuy Keto Friendly Dry Farm WinesGet your KetoMoJo Here and test your ketones.Visit our website for more podcasts, recipes, and informationUntil next time, Dr. Karl

Often when we talk about what is the appropriate diet for ourselves we refer to our evolutionary past. The implication is that we should eat like our closest evolutionary ancestors... the Great Apes...but that is completely different from how we eat now. By comparing the ‘gut’ of 70 different mammalian species, we are most aligned with the dog (‘man’s best friend) and the cat ( man’s other best friend’) why is that?As a reference for this discussion I recommend listening to or watching a presentation by Dr. Ann Childers a psychiatrist that works with patients and mental disorders:Stone Age Body, Space Age Diet - Dr. Ann ChildersJoin our 5 day PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) Challenge HEREBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelDownload our Free Keto Foods ListBuy Keto Friendly Dry Farm WinesGet your KetoMoJo Here and test your ketones.Visit our website for more podcasts, recipes, and informationUntil next time, Dr. Karl

So which is it? The length of our small intestines or the shortness of our colon that shows that our gastro-intestinal tract is most like carnivores. Or is how our stomach is laid out? Not only will you find this interesting to know, but, that deciding on a ‘Gut - appropriate’ diet will also change your mental health and is used for Autistic children as well. Join our 5 day PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) Challenge HEREBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelDownload our Free Keto Foods ListBuy Keto Friendly Dry Farm WinesGet your KetoMoJo Here and test your ketones.Visit our website for more podcasts, recipes, and informationUntil next time, Dr. Karl

There is so much noise and intentional misinformation around keto, low carb, 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 in the US is highly addictive. Knowing that addiction aspect of processed food is created on purpose and by design, processed food is now considered an addictive substance, just like all the other well know legal and illegal substances such as cocaine, heroin, and all of the narcotic derivatives created from heroin, oxycontin .Their goal is to create lifetime customers, and, to be able to legally create processed food items to include known addictive substances has been a ‘wonderful’ windfall for the industrial food comple

We are close to our pets and are willing to do the best thing for them in terms of their health. But, what if what we thought we were doing was just the opposite even though we were coached otherwise by our vets. This story of the passing of our darling cat Sheba, sister to Samson. who died of kidney disease...How could that have happened when Samson showed no signs of illness in any respect. The discovery adds a layer of reality of the benefits of Low Carb living and how processed pet food is lethal, not just bad for our pets, but lethal and should be avoided at all costLink to YouTube presentation referenced in the podcast:Dr. Sarah Huen - 'What Is a Kidney Healthy Diet?

Just when we thought we had it all planned out perfectly, things go wrong that you didn’t anticipate.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from someone else’s experience on how they responded to an unexpected family crisis through quick thinking and avoided what could have been something far worse. The point of this conversation with the mother of the family is that she had to think on her feet and was determined to seek help even when it wasn’t medically encouraged. This is more than a cautionary tale of someone’s Covid experience, but a lesson that I hope will make you more prepared if you have not yet had to deal with this situation.I know this is an altogether different podcast. I thought it was important to have this conversation publicly in order to offer some transferable lessons: 1. Be VERY proactive and don’t let up; 2. Self advocate for what you want (ie getting appropriate treatment and testing) for yourself or your family; 3. You may well be the most informed person involved in your healthcare experience so do not assume others know more.Please enjoy.Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group K

Clearly most of us are to some degree pre-occupied with the lastest news related to covid-19. The Stats, locally, regionally, globally and the limits of our own confinements as we come to terms with own confinement for the next month and figure out how to make it work…. peacefully...stop the fighting kids. The variety of media has become our staple for this information especially around what the forecast are how concerned we should be.I don’t know the facts any better than the next person and I have my concerns as to how accurate they are. I do know however that seasonal flus are generally experienced worst by those with hyper-insulinemia meaning insulin resistant. This generally also means those who are very overweight, obese, and morbidly obese. Just in this last week, articles have be have been coming out in major newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic, New York Times, WSJ, Sky news in the UK. This ‘new’ (rather buried) perspective anticipates that the worst is to come as Covid-19 settles into the heartl

Now that the specific data on who is most vulnerable to the corona virus SARS COV-2 we can better apply what we know through low carb and with the use of strategic supplementation that may lower your risk factor even.From the recent work in France on their use of Hydrocloroquine and Azithromyocin (a anti-malarial drug, and an anti-biotic) they have reduced the number of deaths due to the virus. These medications give insight into what else can be used and why they are effective. However since these are prescription medications, most people will not be able to take them. A few other supplements, in addition to what we know about the specific nature of the virus (ie how it attaches to our cells), may well be just the thing to ‘bridge the gap’ between knowing what we do for ourselves and others and just fearing the worst.The appropriateness of low carb keto can not be overstated, and is verified to be effective for viral infections in general (too soon to have data on Covid-19 but helpful nonetheless).Reducing y
