At a population level, male testosterone levels and reproductive health are plummeting at a precipitous rate. These changes cannot be accounted for solely by comorbid (associated) conditions such as metabolic syndrome. Other factors are the dramatic and damaging effects of endocrine disruptors. Toxins such as phthalates, BPA, atrazine, phytoestrogens, and birth control have polluted our food, water supply, personal care products and everyday household products.  Literature has demonstrated a...

Continuing the discussion from the last podcast of low testosterone in men and some lifestyle and supplemental recommendations. The number of cases of below normal range of testosterone in men of all ages is unprecedented today. This is no longer an issue that only a few people have had deal with. Rather it has become far more common...And problematic then ever imaged. Here are some ideas to be aware of that may certainly change your situation if this is something that concerns...

ow testosterone isn’t something that just happens to men...Of course getting older is a reason for everything to decline...But guess what??? It really doesn’t have to be. This is especially true about testosterone for Men. First off...Lets understand how this happened. The number one killer for men’s testosterone level is completely in your control to do something about it, and that’s Insulin. Learn to keep your insulin level down by dropping your carbs. Low carb, high fat ketogenic diet will...

It’s just an old 'wive’s tale’ so you thought. The fact that if you have a bacterial infection fasting (being in ketosis) might just save your life. On the other hand, if you have a viral (flu) infection you might want to have a good meal. Learn How auto-phagy and being on a low carb high fat ketogenic diet will probably mean you get far fewer colds & flus then ever before. Clearly something to know about before the flu season is upon us. The Effects of Fasting on Infections   Disease...

This sounds pretty esoteric...Oxidative Priority...But it really means the order in which your body (you metabolism) must burn it’s fuel.  Alcohol is number one. It must be burned off because it can't be stored...But when you are ‘burning your alcohol’ you are NOT burning anything else...Your carbs are being stored immediately. This will be a fascinating understanding of why you blood glucose levels go down with a glass of wine, but also how you can create outrageously intense Glucose-keto...

My wife did this first…It was interesting how it changed the nature of our conversations about blood glucose in our lives. Then I did mine. Yes, it does appeal to that narcissistic self interest…But boy did I learn a lot more than I ever thought I would. And then there are the readings from other people….This opens a new door in understanding the what my be the ‘root cause’ for some many disorders and conditions. Join the conversation…It will change you. —————————COME SAY HI!!!...

It’s been at least 9 years since we began our journey on the Ketogenic diet. Learned a lot that I didn’t know when we started and the technology has most certainly changed as well. Put both of those together and it is an entirely different world in which to start Keto. I think you’ll get some insight bits of actionable recommendations when you listen to the story. —————————COME SAY HI!!! ——————————  Facebook Group about Keto:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/  BLOG:...

I’ve always thought that what the world is sorely in need of today is critical thinkers. Now I realized it is not that they are not there, it is that their perspectives have been kept from the mainstream due to their ideas being perceived as a threat to some ginormous corporate interest that has kept it out of the headlines. This is such a story that will definitely affect you personally. If you know your homocysteine levels or know that they are high than you better listen up. Besides it is...

The question I keep asking myself is why is it we always hear about that some people can’t or don’t get positive results with a Ketogenic diet (aka Low Carb High Fat). Whether it is the Virta Health study or any one of various Obesity and Lifestyle Clinics around the country. It is pretty much common knowledge that about 50 % will get positive results, which usually mean weight loss or reversing diabetes. However that also means that 50% of those attempting the LCHF diet did not find any...

There’s two concepts that drive my passion for learning about and helping people implement the ‘Keto’ life style, and those are:  1. In order to be healthy in a progressively unhealthy world we need to think and act differently, and2. In order help people regain their health ( weight loss in this instance) one needs to look where where others haven’t looked in order to see, to understand, what others haven’t seen or don’t see. My point is that things have become more complicated today in...

For some, this is the long a waited topic, conversation, that many feel represents their experience most accurately.  It's for the people who have endured the often unnecessary work of getting started with the Ketogenic diet only to have it become a thoroughly frustrating time and effort. For others, this might be too ‘granular’ in terms of talking about the specific variables required to create a successful outcome. For me it has become a realization in my ‘quest’ of how to have Keto work...

Not everyone is ‘on the same page' regarding some topics in the Ketogenic diet community. This podcast is about some of those issues. On some of those topics, they have made me reconsider what my perspective is, and frankly, now I no longer think as I did.

This is the final installment on our interview with Dr. Joan Ifland, on what is and how to deal with the Addiction to Processed Foods.  This is perhaps the most important issue in health care, rather self health care. Now that we collectively are entering an era where our health is determined by our dietary choice it is incredibly important to be aware of the ‘engineering’ of our food into great tasting junk devoid of nutrition. That is the state of processed foods today. As Dr. Ifland would...

Perhaps now you have your eyebrows raised a bit from what was discussed in part one of the interview with Dr. Ifland, where we covered the nature of addiction the evolution of processed foods in today’s culture. You now know the consequences of blindly letting yourself or your family reach for another bag of doritos, or cheese puffs. Now the question remains what is inherently dangerous about them and how to ‘De-process food’ our diet and what does all of this have to do with the Ketogenic...

Perhaps there’s no more avoided topic in the entire field of dietary nutrition than “Processed Food Addiction”. The reason it is NOT discussed is because ‘processed foods’ is a vast, complicated, and for the most part, hidden and disguised as to not be easily identified to the consumer. To add to that, the concept of addiction is something we have a difficult time believing applies to us personally because it implies we can’t control our behavior. We tend to think of drugs, or alcohol or...

What does process food addiction have to do with the Ketogenic Diet? Initially the answer is by dropping the carbs you drop a lot of processed food, usually, in the process. However, for many, it's not that easy...as with most additions...‘Just saying no’ doesn’t always lead to stopping the behavior that we are addicted to. This topic explores the advent of the industrialization of processed foods that started in the late 1980 with the Tobacco companies buying up the food companies and...

That “cocktail of medications” used for treating behavioral disorders have their side effects as anyone who knows of someone using them would know...some with horrible side effects. Dr. Christopher Palmer, Psychiatrist at Harvard, has been using the Ketogenic Diet as a way to avoid all of that. His story is absolutely jaw-dropping. In this interview he will talk how a “metabolic” intervention might well be a miraculous alternative for people who have been living a lonely life numbed by layers...

I’m hoping you haven’t caught your breath yet from the first part of the interview where you learned of Dr. Palmer’s first exposure to the Atkins diet and how that changed his life and his father’s life. Now in part II, he delves deeper into the connection between Mental Disorders (Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Depression, Dementia, as examples) and metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity, Cardio-vascular disorders, as examples). Think of epilepsy as an example of both and knowing the some of the...
