Best Night Ever!

You are in for a treat on this one. I know I may say that a lot in other episodes, but this one literally is about treats and about food and about all kinds of tactics that we can use to get our health better. Specifically, we're going to be talking about keto. And you've probably heard of keto. You may have done it, you know, or you know, someone who has But what exactly is it? Well, I am going to chat with a Keto fanatic and fellow podcaster and host of the Kido camp podcast, Ben Azadi keto campus with a K on the camp. Ben has had many of the top health influencers on his own show and shares an incredible amount of knowledge on his Instagram account. Now a little bit of background on Ben in 2008. He went through a personal health transformation, which we'll talk about in the show and he actually lost over 80 pounds of pure fat. Ever since then, Ben has been on a mission to help 1 billion people live a healthier lifestyle. He is the author of four best selling books, keto flex, the perfect health booklet, the intermittent fasting cheating sheet and the power of sleep. Ben has been the go to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet and that's why I'm so excited to have him on the show. He is known as the health detective because he investigates dysfunction he educates not medicate and to bring the body back to normal function. He is the founder of keto camp. As I mentioned, it is a global brand, bringing awareness to ancient healing strategies such as the keto diet and fasting.

Now more than ever, we are exposing ourselves to artificial light from our phones, devices, TVs and LED lighting. This exposure is taking its toll on our bodies. We are sleeping poorly, waking up tired and sluggish, with a lack of energy and an inability to stay focussed. 

For most of his life, Roudy Nassif spent nights staying up late, waking up feeling exhausted, unmotivated and unfocused. About 5years ago, Roudy's depression and anguish became unbearable and he left his job to embark on a worldwide journey of learning about himself, nature, quantum physics and biology. Roudy's travels transformed his health and his research into light, health and circadian rhythm disorders have led to the birth of VivaRays.

Roudy is a health entrepreneur and the Co-Founder of VivaRays. He has an engineering background and a solid understanding of the quantum physics of light. Roudy has been educating more than 150 functional medicine doctors about maximizing the power of light for patient health and wellbeing. He passionately believes that we all can manage the artificial light we are exposed to and he wants to educate us and provide us with the knowledge and tools to improve our overall health, sleeping patterns, energy and focus.

In this show we’ll talk about:

Niraj Naik is a certified UK pharmacist turned holistic wellness, brain-training and breathwork expert. He is one of the world’s most sought-after spiritual ceremony facilitators and leads breathwork workshops around the world.

His journey started amid a “burnout” in his corporate career when he found himself bedridden with chronic illness for more than a year. Healing himself using breathwork techniques and dietary adjustments, Niraj felt motivated to share his knowledge with others.

SOMA Breath, a global breathwork community, was founded by Niraj to help empower others to take charge of their own healing and wellness. He has also trained hundreds of breathwork experts through his SOMA Breath framework, which is also taught at numerous wellness centres in the US, Europe and Asia.
