Thought you knew fasting? Lets’s talk. There’s now a variety of fasts, water fasts, bone broth fast, Fasting Mimicking Diet, Protein Sparing Fasts…Now, we’ve learned that fasting could possibly reverse completely or at least improve autoimmune conditions like MS due to a drop in IGF-1 during the fast and then returning to normal…Interesting stuff for sure.Show Links: A Diet Mimicking Fasting Promotes Regeneration and Reduces Autoimmunity and Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/abstract/S2211-12471630576-9 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27239035Does the Fasting Mimicking Diet Live Up to the Hype? https://www.marksdailyapple.com/does-the-fasting-mimicking-diet-live-up-to-the-hype/Fasting-mimicking diet shows promise against MS https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/310597.phpBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

As remarkable as ketones are in incredibly improving Parkinson’s disease, it’s best to avoid it in the first place. Listen in and find out how. See, we often talk about how keto is so helpful for Parkinson’s but often omit disclosing why eating organic foods may help reduce the incidence when we recommend eating veggies on keto. Show Links: Study uncovers cause of pesticide exposure, Parkinson's linkhttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180523133158.htmGenomic and pharmacogenomic biomarkers of Parkinson's disease.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24694231Environmental Exposures and Parkinson's Disease.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27598189 The pesticides known to be implicated in Parkinson’s disease Maneb https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/manebRotenonehttps://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/rotenoneParaquathttps://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/paraquatLindanehttps://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/pharmacology-toxicology-an

Since everyone has a sweet-tooth to some extent, knowing what each sweetener actually is, its effectiveness, side effects, and which are known toxins is important to know. This is a first in a series on artificial sweeteners and ‘natural’ sweeteners commonly used. We’ll cover why some are considered toxic,what problems with some of the others are, and which are considered safe and possibly useful. The list we’ll cover list in the order of usability. BestDon’t use any sweetener at all. While on keto your desire for sweet food will diminish and the fewer you have the faster you will reach that point. Some sweeteners are know to spike your insulin...without increasing your glucose...so thinking it through on why you want to use a particular sweetener a head of time my change your desire of needing a sweetener at all. If you have toSteviaXylitol (be careful around your pets, especially dogs) Haven’t tried but have read good things about this.Allulose Safe but questionsMonk fruit Got issues with…Sugar alcoholsEryt

Taking a deeper look at dairy and why it is not only such a problem for so many but a near definitive cause for cancer. Acne and prostate cancer having a strong association with dairy consumption. Also, will be looking at a group of people who have a genetic defect (Laron syndrome) that blunts the effects of IGF-1 and  the insulin increasing effects of whey. Reference  Links:Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26203267Evidence for acne-promoting effects of milk and other insulinotropic dairy products.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21335995The impact of cow's milk-mediated mTORC1-signaling in the initiation and progression of prostate cancer.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22891897/Over-stimulation of insulin/IGF-1 signaling by western diet may promote diseases of civilization: lessons learnt from laron syndromehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3141390/Insulin-like growth factor 1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Female infertility is a heart breaking condition for many couples.  Long before a woman or a couple decide they need to see a reproductive endocrinologist they should look at the underlying cause, which for most women is insulin resistance. If you take care of that, something that the Ketogenic way of life is tremendously effective with, then you may not need further medical intervention. Join me in this discussion of PSCOS in Women and what to do about it, and its parallel condition in men.   Show links/Citations:Role of hyperinsulinemia in the pathogenesis of the polycystic ovary syndrome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9165656  Myo-inositol effects in women with PCOS: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29042448  Review Metformin and troglitazone in the treatment of female infertility associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21105563  High-Fat, High-Sugar Diet Disrupts the Preovulatory Hormone Surge and Induces

The Ketogenic diet creates so many benefits for various conditions, and yet those benefits can be increased by using the right kinds of fats along some knowledge of nutrigenomics. Listen to this deeper dive into understanding why some fats are more important than others in the conditions of bipolar and autism along with knowing a little about your gene - nutrient interaction. This topic will be elaborated on future podcasts and is meant to be a foundational explanation for further discussions.Abstracts of studies The ketogenic diet for type II bipolar disorder: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23030231 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23653228 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20143151 https://livingwellmom.com/mthfr-autistic-child/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882968/Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

Sometimes you just have to stand up to false information in the media and show how and why a particular article or research paper is incorrect. Today I do exactly that but going through a well-sited article in a medical blog that actually misrepresents what the ketogenic diet actually is. Listen in on why this article has misled many physicians by misrepresenting information and where the correct and bonafide studies and information can be found. Links included for both. Podcast links https://www.virtahealth.com/research https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2018/07/a-physicians-warning-on-the-keto-diet.htmlBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

Little do most people know that they are directly contributing to the destruction of the “lungs of the earth” (the most sensitive ecosystems in the world, the Rainforest) by using products that contain non-RSPO palm oil. That is non-sustainably harvested palm oil. Listen to this interview with the U.S. Outreach Representative for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.This is perhaps the most important interview I’ve done because it will directly inform you about how your specific product purchases are contributing to Rainforest destruction globally and contributing to the demand for Non-RSPO certified palm oil products.Long ago we decided to commit to having our C8 Keto MCT Oil product RSPO Certified . Now you'll know why this is so incredibly important. Our hope is that we begin to ‘set the bar higher’ in terms of encouraging other companies to convert their products, or the ingredients in their product to RSPO-certified palm oil ingredients…and consequently halt the massive destruction of a remarkable

Certainly there are many benefits to the Ketogenic diet. Weight loss, diabetes reversal, improved athletic performance, improved dementia and so forth. However if you were to ask people who have been doing ‘Keto’ for a while, what they appreciated most about Keto… THE answer would be; a tremendously improved sense of well being, mental focus, and that all of their aches and pains have pretty much disappeared. This is due to something no one talks about, it increases your GABA…so what?? And, decreases your inflammatory markers.Listen to why this is so…. And think who it can help. Links to studies: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673617322523http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1038/jcbfm.2015.29 https://news.llu.edu/for-journalists/press-releases/study-adolescents-who-consume-diet-high-saturated-fats-may-develop-poor-stress-coping-skills-signs-of-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-adultshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3845365/Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto

Episode 23: Interview With THE Most Connected Person in the Keto World Today AND CEO of Low Carb USA: Doug ReynoldsDoug's Links and Info on Low Carb USA! https://www.lowcarbusa.org https://www.lowcarbusa.org/low-carb-events/san-diego-2018/ sf-2018 Malcolm Gladwell speaks of people like Doug Reynolds in his book "The Tipping Point". People who are connectors; ‘messengers’ in essence. They see things about to happen that they believe are potentially life-changing. So they reach out to people of influence and let them know the significance of the social change as they perceives it. Their vision, in essence.Doug Reynolds is absolutely this type of person. He has his own personal story of his experience with the ketogenic diet and how it has dramatically changed his life…but that was only the seed of the realization of how global the ketogenic diet was going to take root.  Recently Doug has teamed up many other researchers and medical practitioners to change the Standard of care for medicine in the

 Most of us have witnessed the renaissance of the ketogenic diet and its application for so many conditions from epilepsy to cancer and much in between.  However what you don’t know is that this rebirth was ’mid-wifed’ by a few people who, because they have witnesses near miraculous transformations in people, wanted to know more and became the icons of the Ketogenic movement.  Beth Zupec-Kania is one of these people. Her experience, her story, her drive are amazing. She would deny that she’s anything special…Yet for those willing to dig into the research you will find Beth is at the edge of discovering what the therapeutic benefits of the Ketogenic diet are.  She has managed ketogenic diets in individuals with autism, epilepsy, MS, Mitochondrial disorders, cancer, Parkinson’s disease…Not to mention she has authored The Modified Ketogenic Diet Therapy, and The Modified Keto, numerous educational guides, co-organized three global ketogenic symposiums, and so much more.  Her links: www.bethzupeckania, comwww.cha

Mariam is nothing less than an extraordinarily tenacious researcher of all things Keto. Her impetus comes out of a deeply personal experience of helping her son Raffi when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. When I first met Mariam, rather watched on stage telling her story, it sent a chill down my back. She is one of the most requested interviews by many medical and laymen interested in learning about the benefits of the ketogenic diet for cancer patients. Her TED talk has been in high demand and her book: Keto for Cancer: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy, has a forward written by The person who has turned the medical world on its head in terms of understanding cancer as a metabolic disease, Dr. Tomas Seyfried.Please listen to this extraordinary interview with such a passionately motivated person who now coaches many cancer patients with their Ketogenic diet.Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

Beside a career in medicine that spans decades, tours in Iraq, speaking 6 languages, playing piano, working on cars, he can be found coaching tennis at the local high school. When asked how he would like to be introduced he said:  “No need to give any big intro and the only ax I have to grind is that sugar is a slow acting addictive poison.” He is a self described “night errant” in terms getting the word out about reversing diabetes and obesity. A reference from the book: Don Quixote, by Cervantes in 1605. Paul is the the only person I know who has read it in its original language of Spanish, or even read it all.  No small accomplishment in any languages….. it’s a 1,000 pages. He speaks with the humility of a country doctor who has himself dropped well over 100 lbs through his Ketogenic diet of Zero Carb.

Every so often in life a chance meeting with someone opens doors to for you on some level. For me if I had connected with Ellen Davis I would haven’t never attended Dominic D’Agostino’s first Metabolic therapy conference in 2016 and have connected with all of the researchers and practitioners of the Ketogenic diet.Ellen Davis’s books and Website are required reading for all of ‘Dom’ grad students. Listen in to what Ellen has to say. She’s a down-to-earth ball of fire that has created perhaps the best references to anything to do with the Ketogenic diet. Loved talking with her. Here’s Ellen Davis’s linksHer keto information website: https://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/about.htmlHer books: Fight Cancer with a Ketogenic Diet, Third Edition: Using a Low-Carb, Fat-Burning Diet as Metabolic Therapy https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Cancer-Ketogenic-Diet-Third/dp/1943721033/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1527938745&sr=1-3&keywords=ellen+davis https://www.amazon.com/Ellen-Davis-M.S./e/B01IAOGFOW/ref=sr

In the world where we like to make things simple, black and white, dairy is complicated. Sounds healthy, good macros but it is very problematic from many people…. And perhaps not a good choice for including on your ketogenic diet.   This episode will dive deeper in the gnarly issues of the most addicting food you ever salivated over, dairy, and what we know about it’s disturbing problems.Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl
