This accessibility is highlighted through technological advancements, making it possible to achieve desired results effectively. While the focus may be on addressing specific concerns like stubborn cellulite, Dr. Patel underscores the importance of viewing health holistically. By activating organs like the gallbladder and liver to eliminate excess fat, the process targets superficial issues and promotes overall wellness.  [06:50] Revolutionizing Glutathione Delivery  Traditional methods of administering glutathione, such as injections, have limitations. These methods often result in the kidneys' rapid filtration of glutathione, leading to minimal absorption. Conventional glutathione supplementation does not adequately raise glutathione levels within the body's cells. Dr. Patel introduces an advancement in glutathione delivery, offering a solution to the issue of absorption. Through topical application, glutathione can bypass the challenges encountered by other delivery methods and directly enter the body's cells, which can remain active for extended periods.  [22:00] Topical Application of Glutaryl  Dr. Patel emphasizes the importance of regular use of Glutaryl, highlighting the continuous need for glutathione in the body. Glutaryl is designed for topical application on non-hairy areas of the body. Dr. Patel shares his experience encountering sulfur odor and stickiness with the formula. He recommends applying it to areas without hair. Despite the concerns about odor and stickiness, Dr. Patel affirms that the formula has remained unchanged since 2007, reflecting its efficacy in delivering glutathione.  [26:20] Guardian of Skin: Harnessing Glutathione's Power  The skin is the body's largest organ, constantly exposed to environmental pollutants. The accumulation of such substances can lead to oxidative stress, necessitating antioxidant support for skin health.  Glutathione, with its potent antioxidant properties, can effectively combat oxidative stress when applied topically, helping to mitigate various skin issues caused by environmental factors.  [43:40] Reframing Diabetes: Understanding Oxidative Stress  Dr. Patel frames diabetes as an oxidative stress disorder. When the body's oxidative stress levels become elevated, it will lead to insulin resistance and other complications associated with diabetes. By addressing oxidative stress, you can mitigate the progression of diabetes-related issues.

#795 Stay Young Forever: Using Glutathione to How To Heal Your Skin, Cellulite & Live Longer with Dr. Nayan Patel

The most important thing to understand about fat loss is that your metabolism runs the show. The Greek definition for metabolism is to “transform”. A healthy metabolism takes different substrates (proteins, fats, carbs, body fat, etc) and transforms it into energy. When this happens, your body creates heat (energy) which raises your basal metabolic rate. The goal is not a fast metabolism, but an efficient one. I’m going to share with you the 5 best ways to fix your metabolism so you can speed up fat loss naturally… and the best part? Willpower is not required, no calories are counted… in fact this will be easy!

#794 5 Ways To Speed Up Fat Loss Naturally!

Today, I am blessed to have Brett Ender here with me. He is the co-founder and co-host of The Meat Mafia Podcast with Harrison Gray, exploring food and nutrition with guests. Ender is also the co-founder of Noble, a beef protein isolate. In this episode, Brett discusses corporate dominance in the food industry, where profit often outweighs nutrition. He also emphasizes the financial benefits of healthier dietary choices and the importance of prioritizing protein intake. Despite his focus on animal products, he advocates for dietary flexibility. Lastly, he challenges misconceptions about agriculture's environmental impact, highlighting its relatively minor role compared to other industries. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

These companies prioritize profit at the expense of producing healthy, nutritious foods. Their focus on efficiency may lead to the proliferation of ultra-processed foods. Brett discusses the discrepancy between government regulations on food options in public schools, where nutritious choices like whole milk are restricted while highly processed options are available.   [12:30] Brett's Path to Healing Through Nutrient-Rich Diet   Brett's journey with ulcerative colitis led him to reevaluate his diet. He made a conscious decision to prioritize nutrient-dense foods, particularly animal protein, as a means of healing. Despite financial constraints, Brett opted for investing in high-quality, nourishing foods, rather than relying on medications. He emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of preventive healthcare through dietary changes, compared to the financial burden of hospital bills.   [19:40] The Financial Benefits of Healthier Dietary Choices  Brett highlights the importance of quantifying the cost savings and benefits associated with making healthier dietary choices.  Compare the cost of grass-fed meat at the grocery store versus fast food options like Taco Bell, as well as the financial savings from fasting.  [32:50] Prioritizing Protein Intake  Brett emphasizes the importance of simplicity for dietary choices. He suggests aiming for a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight from animal products.  By sticking to protein sources that you enjoy, you can establish a solid foundation for their nutritional intake without getting overwhelmed by sourcing or other details initially.  [39:35] Dietary Flexibility: Finding Balance Beyond 'The Meat Mafia'  Despite having a podcast called "The Meat Mafia" and sharing his healing journey with animal products, Brett acknowledges the importance of dietary flexibility.  He mentions that while the majority of his calories come from animal products, he incorporates fruits, vegetables, and other foods prepared by his girlfriend. This highlights the idea that dietary approaches should be adaptable to individual preferences, tolerances, and circumstances.  [47:50] Rethinking Agriculture's Impact  Brett highlights the misconception that agriculture, particularly conventional methods involving confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), contributes significantly to environmental issues.  He points out that while there are concerns with agriculture, its impact pales in comparison to industries like energy and transportation. There is a need for a broader understanding of the various factors influencing environmental sustainability.

#792 The 7 Amazing Foods That Reduce Inflammation & Fight Disease with Ben Azadi

Today, I am grateful to have the presence of Dr. Philip Ovadia by my side yet again. He is the owner of Ovadia Heart Health, offering a virtual clinic to people all over the world. The focus is preventing and treating heart disease by modifying diet and lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Ovadia discusses the impact of foods on insulin resistance, critiques conventional dietary recommendations, and highlights the importance of managing insulin levels. He emphasizes the significance of directly assessing arterial health and the role of factors beyond diet in heart disease risk. He also examines the complexities of statin use, acknowledging their potential benefits but cautioning against overestimation and considering long-term implications. Overall, Dr. Ovadia advocates for a holistic approach to heart health. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  *BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.   [03:55] Insulin Resistance & Heart Health  Dr. Ovadia emphasizes the importance of certain foods, mainly highly processed carbohydrates and vegetable/seed oils, on insulin resistance. He suggests these foods contribute to metabolic issues and are a primary health-promoting concern. Dr. Ovadia critiques the recommendations of organizations like the American Heart Association, suggesting that their focus on certain foods, such as those labeled "heart-healthy," which often include vegetable oils, may not promote heart health.   [10:00] Insulin's Dietary Dance  Dr. Ovadia highlights the varying insulin responses to different macronutrients.  Carbohydrates elicit the highest insulin response, followed by protein, which induces a smaller response.  Dietary fat triggers minimal insulin response, contrary to the misconception that fats contribute to heart disease.  Understanding these responses underscores the importance of managing insulin levels and minimizing carbohydrate intake for heart health.  [27:35] Reevaluating Heart Disease Risk  The prevalence of insulin resistance in modern populations has shifted the significance of LDL levels, with insulin resistance now playing a role in interpreting cholesterol-related heart disease risk. Dr. Ovadia underscores the importance of testing fasting insulin levels to assess heart disease risk. Properly addressing insulin resistance is critical to mitigating heart disease risk and preventing the need for surgery.  [40:20] Arterial Health Checkup for Heart Disease Risk  Dr. Ovadia emphasizes the importance of directly assessing the health of arteries when evaluating heart disease risk.  He suggests examining the blood vessels' condition provides valuable insights into heart health rather than relying solely on traditional risk factors or biomarkers, such as cholesterol levels.  [47:00] Beyond Diet: A Holistic Approach to Heart Health  Dr. Ovadia stresses the importance of recognizing that diet is not the sole determinant of heart health. Other factors such as stress, sleep quality, environmental toxins, chronic infections, and autoimmune disorders can impact cardiovascular health.  These influences are crucial if dietary improvements do not change coronary calcium scores.  [50:30] Statins in Perspective  Dr. Ovadia acknowledges situations where statin use may be warranted, such as individuals with insulin resistance and poor-quality cholesterol profiles who are unlikely to address their insulin resistance through other means.  He emphasizes that the benefits of statins may be overestimated.
