August 20, 2021 How to Reverse Acanthosis Nigricans
What is the real cause of acanthosis nigricans? Take a look!
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a condition called acanthosis nigricans.
This condition is characterized by symmetrical hyperpigmentation on the back of the neck, sides of the neck, armpits, and certain other places on the body. The affected areas often have a velvety texture.
Acanthosis nigricans is associated with diabetes, PCOS, Cushing’s syndrome, and metabolic disease. The majority of cases are considered idiopathic—meaning the cause is unknown.
What this condition is really caused by is an excessive amount of insulin—or hyperinsulinemia. This is often a byproduct of unmanaged insulin resistance.

On the web, you will find that the “causes” of increased insulin are related to:
• Tumors
• Carb malabsorption
• Pancreatic cancer
• PCOS
• Trans fats

What are they missing? They are missing the primary cause: eating too many carbs.
The best remedy for acanthosis nigricans is to lower your intake of carbohydrates.
Healthy keto and intermittent fasting are great ways to help get your insulin levels under control.
Give this remedy a try, and let me know how it works for you.

August 20, 2021 Why Does Exercise Increase Lifespan?
We all know exercise can help us live longer. But why?
Today, we’re going to dig into why exercise helps you live longer. Endurance running is in our genes. It’s a survival mechanism. Over time, our genes have adapted to anything that increases our survival. When you exercise, a lot of good things happen.
The leading cause of death is cardiovascular disease. So, anything done to improve cardiovascular health would help extend your life.
An interesting study actually compared people who did physical activity vs. inactivity. They found that the group that did physical activity decreased their mortality by 30-40%, adding an additional five years to their life.

Why exercise helps increase lifespan:
• Increased O2 (blood flow)
• Decreased inflammation
• Increased parasympathetics
• Decreased insulin resistance
• Increased growth hormone

August 20, 2021 Bile Acid and Cholesterol: The Missing Link
Bile acids and cholesterol play important roles in your body. Check this out.
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the relationship between bile acids and cholesterol.
Bile acids are made by your liver and the friendly bacteria in your gut.
75% of your body’s cholesterol is made by your body. This means that only 25% comes from your diet.
Many people freak out over dietary cholesterol. However, your body is your primary source of cholesterol.
Bile acids are the primary pathway for cholesterol catabolism. Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simple molecules. This allows your body to utilize cholesterol and turn it into things like vitamin D, cellular membranes, hormones, and even bile.
50% of your daily cholesterol turnover (the rate of being depleted and replaced) is controlled by your bile.
Bile salts also regulate your LDL to HDL ratio. In fact, bile can lower your LDL levels and increase your HDL levels.
If you lack bile on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, it may cause increased cholesterol levels.

The benefits of bile salts include:
• Regulating cholesterol
• Breaking down fat-soluble nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K.
• Regulating essential fatty acids
• Promoting liver health
• Supporting healthy vision
• Regulating bruising

August 19, 2021 Cutting Carbs But Still Not Losing Weight
Are you on keto and intermittent fasting, but you’re still not seeing the results you want? Here’s why!
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what to do when cutting your carbs doesn’t help you lose weight.
When you hit a plateau, I typically say you need to cut your carbs down and eat less frequently. But what do you do if that doesn’t work?
There are two situations that may cause you to stop losing weight even when you’re fasting and lowering your carbs. The first situation is when you’re not getting enough sleep, and the second is when you’re stressed out.
Not getting the right amount of quality sleep can stop weight loss because of a hormone called melatonin. Sleep produces melatonin, and melatonin inhibits insulin. So if you’re not getting enough sleep, you won’t have enough melatonin to keep your insulin levels under control.
High insulin causes your body to store sugar as fat. This is obviously not good for losing weight.
Exposure to blue light before bed and late-night snacking can lead to poor sleep.
Stress affects weight loss because of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, releases glucose as a source of quick energy. In turn, this releases sugar into the body and causes high insulin.

August 19, 2021 Herbal Teas to Avoid During Pregnancy
Pregnant? Avoid these six types of herbal tea!

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about which herbal teas to avoid during pregnancy. Some teas can contain compounds that have the potential to cause complications during pregnancy. Take a look.

1. Hibiscus tea - in excess, hibiscus tea can potentially lead to delayed puberty, cause a miscarriage, and stimulate mensuration.
2. Nettle tea - nettle tea can stimulate contractions of the uterus. This is not good for early pregnancy.
3. All caffeinated teas - black, green, white, matcha, and chai teas can increase your risk of early pregnancy miscarriages due to high levels of caffeine.
4. Fennel tea - fennel tea can increase your estrogen levels, which may lead to pregnancy complications.
5. Fenugreek tea - this tea can induce early labor.
6. Licorice tea - this tea can increase cortisol levels, which can throw off your normal balance.

If you’re not sure about a certain herbal tea, make sure you do your research and ask your doctor before you have it to help avoid potential pregnancy complications.

August 19, 2021 Why the Random Muscle Twitch?
Do you ever get a random muscle twitch for no reason? You’re not alone—and here’s what to do about it!
About 70% of the population gets random muscle twitches. The medical term for this is fasciculation—spontaneous involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation. This could happen to your eyelid, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, or tongue.
There is even a medical condition called benign fasciculation syndrome. I believe this condition is really a nutritional deficiency. But, the typical treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, anti-depression medication, and calcium channel blockers.
In my opinion, random muscle twitches are caused by a magnesium deficiency. About 70% of the population also has a magnesium deficiency. Leafy greens are rich in magnesium.

Other symptoms of a magnesium deficiency:
• Fatigue
• Muscle cramps
• Anxiety

Other potential causes of a muscle twitch:
• High calcium
• Low vitamin D
• Alkalosis (potentially caused by a high carb diet or low potassium)

August 18, 2021 Accidentally Messed Up on Keto? DO THIS…
I accidentally messed up on keto! Now what?

Today we're going to talk about what to do if you accidentally messed up on keto. Maybe you were served something you didn't realize had a lot of sugar in it, or you accidentally bought something you didn't realize wasn't actually keto-friendly. What do you do?

In the brain, you can use either sugar or ketones as fuel. But, the brain will always prefer ketones over glucose. This means that all you have to do is elevate the ketones in your blood, so the brain can use them as fuel. This can help you start to feel better fast.

What you can do if you mess up on keto:
• Take liquid MCT oil
• Take powdered MCT oil
• Take exogenous ketones

August 18, 2021 Eat More Mushroom on Keto
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about why you should add more mushrooms to your diet.
Many people consider mushrooms a vegetable, but it’s actually a type of fungi. Mushrooms are made up of 92% water, 4% carbs, 2% protein, and less than 1% fat.
One cup of mushrooms comes out to 2g carbs and 1g of fiber, making the net carbs 1g.

There are many benefits of having mushrooms in your diet:
• They break down plastics within weeks
• They have a closer biology to animals than plants
• They are rich in vitamins and minerals, including B2, B3, B5, B9, D, selenium, zinc, copper, and potassium.
• They contain B-glucans, which have anti-tumor properties

Fungus is an important part of your microbiome and acquired immune system.
Funguses can also break down nutrients in the soil, which allows plants and our bodies to absorb and utilize them more efficiently.
As you can see, mushrooms aren’t just keto-friendly; they are also very healthy.

August 18, 2021 7 Out of 10 People Take Prescription Drugs
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about prescription drugs. 7 out of 10 people in the United States take prescription drugs. That’s 70% of the population!
The majority of those who are 45+ take four prescription drugs.
Now, you should know that I’m not against taking medications. You should never stop taking a medication without your doctor’s approval.
However, there are some side effects that come with taking virtually any medication—especially when you take multiple medications. This is why I believe everyone should be working with their doctor to address their health problems at the root.
Many times, there isn’t a long-term plan established by a patient and their doctor to come off of the prescription drug. If that sounds like you, here are some questions you should ask your doctor:
1. What is our long-term plan?
2. What is the actual cause of my symptoms?
3. Are you willing to help me get off my medications using dietary and lifestyle changes and natural alternatives?
Changing your diet can often completely change your health. Having a healthy diet and lifestyle may reduce your need for medications over time, with the help of your doctor.
Additionally, many natural alternatives can help remedy your symptoms without any side effects.
Tudca, milk thistle, and vitamin D may help you ween off of medications without additional side effects.
Ask your doctor the questions above and see if they can work with you to reduce your long-term medication use.

August 17, 2021 Turkey Tail Mushroom and Cancer
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a powerful mushroom that has the potential to help fight off cancer cells and strengthen your immune system. This mushroom is called the turkey tail mushroom.
The turkey tail mushroom has an interesting shape and color that looks like the tail of a turkey.
This mushroom contains at least 35 compounds that directly relate to improving your immune system and fighting cancer cells, including:
• Quercetin - This compound helps release interferon. Interferon is a potent immune chemical that interferes with the production of viruses. It also helps kill cancer cells.
• Balcaleim - This compound has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It also inhibits the spread of cancer cells, reduces the adhesion properties of tumors, and induces tumor cell cycle arrest.
• PSK/PSP - These are protein-bound carbohydrates that help increase monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and immunity to toxins. These compounds are commonly used alongside chemotherapy in Japan and China.
Turkey tail mushrooms are potentially beneficial for fighting breast, blood, colon, lung, and stomach cancers.
If you are at risk for one of these forms of cancer, consider giving turkey tail mushrooms a try and let me know what you think in the comments below.
