We’re taking a whole different direction today. Dr. Goldkamp is going to be doing a series of three podcasts, all to be released separately, around the topic of corn. Most people doing keto increase their fat intake. Using corn oil to do that is not recommended, and if people do use it, they will sorely regret it in many ways. In this podcast, we discuss the risks of consuming corn oil and explain how it has become a source of one of the unhealthiest edible fats because it is seed oil and also due to contamination from the pesticides used in its production.Corn is not ketogenicCorn is not very ketogenic. It is a starchy, seedy food.Corn is in almost all processed foodsThe world has become complicated and sophisticated, and corn is in almost all processed foods. The problemCorn has become a massive crop in the United States. It is so cheap now that it gets used for all kinds of things that it never got used for.Corn oil became popular in the 1960sIn the 1960s, corn oil became very popular, and it was considere

By now, most people know that cancer is a metabolic disease that thrives on glucose. What people don’t know is that having elevated fasting glucose levels is directly associated with a risk of cancer. So, the higher the glucose levels are, the more likely the risk of getting cancer is. The surprising thing about that is that it has nothing to do with being overweight or obese.Today, Dr. Goldkamp will share some studies to illustrate that having chronically high blood sugar and glucose levels is an independent risk factor for getting cancer. He will also discuss the risk of non-overweight people with sustained elevated blood sugar and give a foundational understanding of why you need to be in tune with your blood sugar levels.    Glucose Ketone Index When you measure your blood sugar and your ketones, and you put the two together, you get the glucose ketone index. The glucose ketone index has started being used in the last year or two for cancer patients to see where they are.Removing glucose from the body wit

Is it possible for one to have a predisposition to getting severe symptoms of Covid if exposed to it? People have spoken about this idea. However, apart from merely correlating the co-morbidities that a person has concurrently with Covid, Dr. Goldkamp has not seen much evidence to support that notion.There are some factors other than metabolic health that can make for difficult outcomes. Some blood types are said to be more susceptible to Covid than others, and there are also factors like reactive hyperglycemia, elevated insulin, and high glucose levels that could also get taken into account.And then there is Sweden. Some ideas are not supportedThe co-morbidities of people who die from the flu are ranked in much the same order as they are with Covid 19. That is because Covid 19 is also the flu. There are, however, other ideas that are not supported, and nobody does any research on them because no funding has been made available for that.Blood type and Covid 19The blood types are A, B, AB, and O, and in additi

This podcast is the third part of the series of Covid-related podcasts. Today, we will be covering the list of supplements Dr. Goldkamp has been using while sick. He will talk about the general recommendations, where they came from, and why you might consider taking those supplements.Before getting Covid, Dr. Goldkamp was already taking some supplements. Ordinarily, he takes very few because he tries to meet his nutritional needs with the food he eats.Do supplements make your life healthier?For Dr. Goldkamp, supplements only make his life healthier if he is exposing himself to something or if he has a deficiency. However, when the flu goes around, it is a good idea to ramp up on all the things that you know will support your immune system. ExerciseDr. Goldkamp and his wife go and work out at the gym for an hour-and-a-half early in the morning, twice each week. Going in early minimizes their exposure, and they clean the equipment as they go. On the other days, they do HIT (High-Intensity Training) exercises at

Faced with our own stay at home quarantine for days here’s what that looks like. A good time to discuss the difference between what a bacterial verse viral infection looks like and what it actually means to feed a fever and starve a cold. That’s old wives tale that is actually true. Link below to a short video and research that Yale did covering that.Also know the difference between a PCR test verses a serum antibody test and which is the better test to get and how they differ.Two ways of getting tested for CovidThere are two ways in which people can get tested for Covid. One way is to get tested for serum antibodies, for which blood needs to get drawn. The other is the rapid or PCR test.Why ten days quarantine?The reason for the ten days of quarantine comes down to a viral versus a bacterial infection. Bacterial infectionsWith bacterial infections, the white blood cell count increases very quickly. That gets accompanied by a rapidly-rising and rapidly falling fever in children and a slightly slower climbing

We are now both covid positive. I thought our story of how we got here was valuable to share you.And who’s to blame for getting Covid? What precautions were taken or not taken?Should we have done on the trip?Masking or not masking … the controversyThe Sweden experience … is it transferable? They paid a big price for their current ‘heard immunity’ status.Where are the airlines now with covid? And our experience with American Airlines.________________In today’s podcast, Dr. Goldkamp will be covering this controversial topic by not pretending to be an authority, even though he is medically equipped to understand any of the studies out there. This show got recorded on the 9th of October 2020. Dr. Goldkamp and his wife were diagnosed with Covid a few days before that. Today, he will tell the story of what they experienced.Imprecise studiesA lot of the Covid studies that Dr. Goldkamp read were very imprecise and contained some information which is yet to be proven.  Seven months inNow, seven months into the pandemi

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 ketoWe 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 they think they know about it is probably wrong.  The definition of ketoKetosis gets gauged by measuring your ketones with a keto meter. So the definition of what keto is can only be determined by whether or not you are in ketosis while you are on it.The start of the ketogenic dietThe ketogenic diet started in 1925. The term ketogenic diet was coined in around 1921 by William Wilder in response to the previous decades of fasting for diabetes and other conditions. The term ‘ketogenic diet’The ketogenic diet was used stri

Nearly every overweight person has an addiction to refined carbohydrates. It is natural and logical that they do. The problem is that it needs to be addressed or itt will gradually begin a metabolic shut down, one disorder at a time. This is how it should be addressed, and can be complete changed with this basic understanding of what to do and how this started.Gaining weight Gaining weight is about storing calories to fat without burning anything, so an obese person could always feel as if they are starving. That is a hard place to be, yet it is possible to change things.Why people are driven to eat processed foodsNow, with all the added chemicals in processed foods, people are driven to eat more of them because they taste good. The chemicals in processed foods have our neurotransmitters down to fine art and, in essence, they are trying to stimulate dopamine deficiency. Dopamine deficiencyDopamine is about anticipation. When you have dopamine deficiency, it is because you have had prolonged periods of too muc

Keto Naturopath – Using Keto for CancerWelcome to another episode of the Keto Naturopath. Today I will be talking about what I would do, generally speaking, if I had cancer. I will also be discussing the history of the ketogenic diet and sharing what I have learned, personally, from its application.  There is little empirical evidence to prove that the ketogenic diet has cured cancer. So I will approach the topic from the back end and discuss the possible application of the truthful, adjunctive therapy, known as the ketogenic diet.Marketing has destroyed the medical and health integrity of the ketogenic dietIn my view, marketing has destroyed the medical and health integrity of the ketogenic diet. Keto products often get impregnated with poor quality industrial oils containing preservatives, which, by law, have to be added to any public product. This kind of advertising has grossly misrepresented and undermined the concept and application of the ketogenic diet because it is about money first, health care seco

The ‘Deep Dive Data Driven Weight Loss Program’ we’ve been running over the last couple of years has revealed important variations as to what works best for most people. The flagrant falsehoods that Keto marketers use, such as fatty coffees, are a great way to start your day have encouraged me to dig deeper on the value or inappropriateness of having high fat as a constant in your diet. The Key is to know what your objective is, your purpose, to implement a ketogenic way of living. Lets talk.  Show Links:https://www.virtahealth.com/blog/2yr-t2d-trial-outcomes-virta-nutritional-ketosisJoin our 30 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

Perhaps the most requested topic in regards to keto (after weight loss and reversing diabetes) is about Keto and its effects on various cancers. This is the first of a 7 part series on keto and cancer where I talk about how it’s being used in general and what I would do if I had cancer. I go over a recommended structure, various labs I would do and request to have done on myself, what a daily routine would look like, and what I would expect from my collaborating physicians, and therapist that would participate in my healing.There’s plenty to talk about on this topic and the goal is to not only break down some of the concepts of cancer and where the ketogenic diet/lifestyle would fit in, but create a sequence of podcasts that can become a suitable reference for anyone needing this information. To be clear, there is no such thing as a unanimous agreement on where and how keto should be used as a cancer therapy medically. That, no doubt, will add a layer of uncertainty in terms of its implementation.Enjoy.Dr. Ka

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
