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. We had many successes but it is amazing how for some it wasn’t specific enough and for others, they just cruised on for the easy win. I go over the shortcoming and history of the PSMF.

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

This is the primary distinction between having a brain driven by the need for more dopamine or one that is functioning happily on serotonin.These two very different neurotransmitters predispose your brain to developing specific behavioral styles. One leads to progressive brain damage driven by the always immediate need for more...Dopamine...in others words an addictive personality, and addict. The other is about the contentment of long term goals that require deferred gratification and joy of relationships. Clearly just that difference will create entirely different day to day strategies, very different life stories for how you live your life and what is considered important to you. To go even one based on joy and happiness, the other preoccupied by having to obtain the substance or engage in the activity that will make have some ‘euphoria’ on demand.Also discussed is why latinos are predisposed to obesity and diabetes...Their context, genome and survival strategy are at the base of it.

What started as a disagreement between Dr. Rob Cywes and myself about whether protein when eaten ‘turns to sugar (glucose) in your blood stream' grew into an academic debate. Doug Reynolds thought this would be a great podcast. Here is that podcast in two parts with a brief intro about what the heart of the issue is all about. As a way of further setting up the topic I spliced in a portion of Dr. Bikman presentation on protein and the insulin / glucagon ratio. All very interesting comments.

It’s important to ‘remember where you came from’ as the saying goes. In our case, it’s a very short step back in time to re-experience how our health incinerated around us from colossal personal loss of everything we worked for, coupled with a grim diagnosis of my wife's brain tumor, and loss of my only brother, and mother. It all exceeded my ability to cope. I crumbled into (what I was told by the physicians treating me) severe lifelong illness with no cure (was told it was worst crohns and ulcerated colitis on record for that regional hospital in Connecticut). Supposedly my future would be possible only if I submitted to a series of powerful medications that would keep my immune system from destroying me. Seriously? Who changed my life script? How extremely bleak it was and so glibly delivered with complete certainty. Months of self-administered shots and potent pharmaceuticals followed. I was told I could not miss a dose or the meds would become far less effective due to developing a tolerance to them
