But the truth is, our daily eating schedule—three meals a day, plus snacks—does not necessarily reflect our bodies’ natural cycles. Cole’s book is all about intuitive fasting. However, fasting will be anything but intuitive when you're metabolically inflexible. Instead, the book is a conversation about showing up for yourself to become metabolically flexible. When you are finally metabolically flexible, you will intuitively fast and eat. You can mindfully use intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility so you can hear what your body truly loves.  &nbsp; [05:25] Why Dr. Cole Is A Huge Fan Of Fasting For His Health  Fasting is an amazing tool, and it's completely free. Plus, fasting is something that it's actually encoded in our DNA. Researchers estimate that our genetics haven't changed in 10,000 years. Your body is made to do so much. It’s time to wake up the body's ability to heal itself and wake up the body's ability to calm inflammation. Sadly, we are living so out of alignment with our biochemistry that we put a lot of our body's healing capacity just to sleep. Fasting is a matter of letting our bodies remember what we were born with. Overall, fasting is an amazing tool that clinically really improves people's labs.  [09:25] How Fasting Can Actually Heal Your Gut + Reset Your Digestive System  Your microbiome is actually repairing through the night and recalibrating through the night. When you fast, it is calming down the inflammatory cascades that are going on. Also, fasting doesn’t mean that you are cutting calories. Instead, you're eating the same number of foods, you're just eating in specific windows to give your body a little bit more of a fasting time than you normally would. The more often you can fast, you're going to be able to regenerate and repair the gut in a big way. Digesting food requires a lot of energy; so, you're giving your gut a break to not work on digesting food.  [13:45] What Food Freedom Means To Dr. Cole  Food peace is going longer without eating, not because...

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...
