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...

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. And perhaps their collective presentation might...

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. ——————————— OUR COURSE —————————— PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge————WHERE WE GET OUR GENOME SNP ANALYSIS DONE—————Strategene https://...

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 watch...

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. ——————————— OUR COURSE —————————— PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge————WHE...

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 p...

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.

Protein is not all the same. If you don’t know how protein affects you personally it can increase both you blood glucose level and you insulin levels and this could well be disastrous and very frustrating if your goal is to lower you glucose levels or if you have a history of epilepsy...it could very bad. ——————————— OUR COURSE —————————— PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge————WHERE WE GET OUR GENOME SNP ANALYSIS DONE—————Strategen...

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 commen...

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 ...

As a ‘culture’ we have become not only hooked on carbohydrates but on process foods specifically. This has Hacked our metabolism and created an epidemic of obesity and diabetes that is already at 40% of the population in some states (W. Virginia and Mississippi). The inevitable result, is that to mitigate all of the resulting metabolic problems medication after medication are used which results in a Hijacking of our brain health by depriving it of the healthy appropriate fuel that it needs.——...

Knowing the action you can take for or to prevent MCI or Alzheimers or dementia is one. But hearing it from a top researchers presentation puts it in an entirely different context.
