Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Anthony Chaffee. He’s an American medical doctor and Neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. He claims that the majority of the so-called chronic illnesses are brought on by the food we consume and can be treated by switching to a diet tailored to our species.&nbsp; About 23 years ago, when Dr Anthony was taking cancer biology at the University of Washington, they were learning about the roles of plants. Plants in general have about a million different defense chemicals that are used to poison and deter animals and insects from meeting them up. They need to be able to protect themselves because animals and insects are constantly attacking them.&nbsp;&nbsp; They learned that quite a few plant toxins had already been demonstrated to be carcinogenic by researchers and that people had even recognized this fact. Brussels sprouts had 136 identified carcinogens, and then mushrooms had over 100. And then all of these different produce items that people would eat on a regular basis would have dozens and dozens of different carcinogens in them. That’s why Dr Anthony is on full carnivore. In this episode, Dr Anthony speaks about the toxins people are getting from eating plants. He gives some advice on what you can do to avoid chronic disease and live a longer life. Tune in as we chat about carcinogens, plant toxins, hormetic effects, and the effects of eating full carnivore on your body.

Controlling blood sugar levels and insulin resistance are issues with diabetes. Lowering your insulin is the treatment for that.   How may insulin levels be decreased? You lessen the level of carbs in your body. When you stop eating carbohydrates, your body will produce the right amount of carbohydrates, which will cause your insulin levels to decrease.&nbsp;   Dr Anthony hasn’t heard of many people doing a Plant-based diet to cure type one diabetes but there are studies with ketogenic diets helping type one and type two diabetes.   Some people with type one diabetes have radically changed how they manage their condition by adopting carnivorous or even ketogenic diets. They only need to provide a small amount of long-acting insulin, which will last them for the entire day, rather than many doses of the drug throughout the day.   [18:52] All Plants Have Carcinogens! Why Plants Are Trying to Kill You   There are undoubtedly things that have the potential to have hormetic effects. However, there is a claim that all of these plant toxins, literally millions of them, are not produced by plants for human benefit because we are not living in the Garden of Eden.&nbsp;   There's no actual evidence provided to say which chemicals are hormetic. At what dosage? Just get one leaf from your spinach or sage. That doesn't necessarily have all the same chemicals.&nbsp;   What kind of surroundings did it grow in? What kind of soil was it? What time was the pick? When must it be chosen as having to be freshman, it must be medicines. All of these objects' chemical makeups are altered by this. And so now all of a sudden, you don't know what dosage of digitalis you're getting.   You can experience this beneficial hormetic effect in...

A study showed a 2,000% increase in HGH after a 24 hour fast in men, and a 1,300% increase in HGH after a 24 hours fast in women. 07:28 Interesting Fasting Facts:   In ancient Egypt, India and Greece, dosed starvation was used    as for a curative and preventive purposes, as to strengthen    the spirit. &nbsp;    It is known that Pythagoras (580-500 years. BC), Greek    philosopher and mathematician, founder of the famous    school of philosophy, systematically starved for 40 days,    rightly believing that it increases the mental perception and    creativity. He demanded strict 40-day fast on water alone    from each of his numerous disciples and followers. &nbsp;    Hippocrates (460-357 years BC) - a physician who owns a    great medical commandment: “Do no harm!”, was an ardent    supporter of moderation and treatment through fasting. He    wrote: “The addition of food should be much rarer, since it    is often useful to completely take it away while the patient    can withstand it, until the force of the disease reaches its    maturity. The man carries within him a doctor; you just have    to help him do his work. If the body is not cleared, then the    more you feed it, the more it will be harmed. When a patient    is fed too richly, the disease is fed as well. Remember – any    excess is against nature.”   &nbsp;  11:20 Benefits of intermittent fasting. 13:03 Is fasting effective against cancer? 14:35 Does intermittent fasting help to burn fat? 16:59 What will happen to my blood sugar levels when I intermittent fast? 18:53 Will I go into starvation mode when intermittent fasting? 20:47 Will I lose muscle when intermittent fasting? &nbsp; // R E S O U R C E S Benefits of fasting study:&nbsp;  https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-04/imc-sfr033111.php &nbsp; Study shows a 13% increase in metabolism after 4 consecutive days of fasting:&nbsp; https://idmprogram.com/fix-broken-metabolism/ &nbsp; &nbsp; Join The Keto Kamp Inner Circle: https://www.ketokamp.com&nbsp; Get the Keto Kickstart Guide for FREE: http://www.ketokickstartguide.com &nbsp; Get my FREE Fasting Cheat Sheet: http://www.fastingcheatsheet.com YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/ketokamp&nbsp; My Favorite Keto Beef Jerky &amp; More: http://www.paleovalley.com Use coupon code ketokamp10 for 10% off &nbsp; This podcast is for information purposes only.

How to Start The Ketogenic Diet & Intermittent Fasting - Ben Azadi KKP: 140

We welcome back, a biomedical scientist, professor, and expert on insulin resistance, Dr. Benjamin Bikman.&nbsp; Dr. Benjamin Bikman studies diabetes and obesity, and much of what he focuses on is a seemingly obscure condition called insulin resistance. But it's, in fact, not very obscure at all. What is insulin resistance? Why did Dr. Benjamin Bikman devote his career to studying something like this? Well, insulin resistance is essentially two things. First of all, some cells in your body aren't responding very well to the hormone insulin. Second, you have more insulin than you did before, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. Dr. Bikman's research focus is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that mediate the disruption that causes and accompanies metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Driven by his academic training (Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders), he is currently exploring the different roles of insulin and ketones as critical drivers of metabolic function. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings. In this episode, Dr. Bikman dives deep into his book,&nbsp;and how 88% of US adults may have insulin resistance. Dr. Bikman speaks about why we have insulin resistance and how you can test for insulin resistance at home. Dr. Bikman recommends that we all have a small blood pressure cuff at home. Then, Dr. Bikman talks all about fasting – what are the best ways to end a fast, what are the worst ways to end a fast, and why "wrecking your metabolism" simply doesn't make sense. Stay tuned, as Dr. Bikman reveals what we can do to prevent insulin resistance.&nbsp;&nbsp; // E P I S O D E&nbsp; &nbsp;S P ON S O R S&nbsp; PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil):  Use ben4 for $4.00 off. [00:40] About Why We Get Sick  The more Dr. Bikman studies insulin resistance, the more flustered he gets. It’s something so few people know about. There are three segments of the book:  Defining insulin resistance Why insulin resistance matters What to do about insulin resistance   88% of US adults may have insulin resistance because they have at least one out of five characteristics of metabolic syndrome:  Expanded waist circumference High blood pressure High glucose High triglycerides Low HDL     [05:30] Signs You Have Insulin Resistance  Your skin can be a window to the metabolic soul. Two pronounced skin disorders are wholly connected with insulin resistance:  Skin tags Dark spots   Infertility and erectile dysfunction can be a sign of insulin resistance.  [08:00] How to Test Insulin Resistance at Home  Buy a small blood pressure cuff that you can put around your wrist. After fasting, and you notice your blood pressure goes down, that’s a sign of insulin resistance. Insulin controls fuel use. At any moment, it’s a sugar burner or a fat burner. Insulin will dictate that fuel use in the body. Ketones can only be made when the body is in a high state of fat burning. If it takes a long time to measure ketones on a ketone meter, then it may be sign of insulin resistance. If you are in ketosis, your insulin is going down. If your glucose is high, that’s a big question. It could be that you are overeating and snacking too often. Or, it could mean there is an exaggerated hormone response to the fast.  [13:45] The Best Way to Break a Fast vs. the Worst Way to Break a Fast  A seven day fast is a little extreme. If a person is overweight, they need to be smart enough about doing a long fast. The longer a person is in a fast, the lower the insulin is getting. However, our potassium and sodium pump will slow down. The kidneys wills start to dump potassium – they haven’t got the message to stop. So, the person will risk dying by changing the potassium levels in the blood – it’s lethal! Don’t end a fast on a sugary snack. End a fast...
