Today we’re going to talk about rancid oil and your gut health.

What is rancid oil?

This is the incomplete or complete oxidation of fat or oil. Fats and oils have antioxidants to protect from this oxidation. But, if it has been exposed to light, oxygen, heat, or processing, the antioxidants can start to be destroyed, causing the oils to break down. 

This can especially happen to unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids don’t typically turn rancid because they’re more preserved. 

A few oils/fats that are more susceptible to becoming rancid:

 • Soy oil 

 • Corn oil 

 • Canola oil 

 • Olive oil

 • Nuts

Signs that that fats or oil is rancid is if it smells or tastes:

 • Musty 

 • Sour 

 • Bitter

 • Metallic 

It can actually be toxic to your cells or genes to consume rancid oil or rancid fats in somewhat large amounts. But, even a small amount can irritate certain parts of the body. Your gut health can especially become affected. The rancid oil or rancid fat can cause a lot of inflammation in the body as well as free radical damage. 

So many people are actually consuming large amounts of rancid oil without even knowing it. If you eat at a restaurant, and afterward, you feel a little sick or bloated, it could be because of rancid oil. 

A few things you can do:

 • Buy fresh nuts 

 • Refrigerate and germinate the nuts 

 • Don’t consume soy, corn, or canola oil (GMO)

 • Buy fresh olive oil

Today we’re going to talk about why the sperm count is downtrending. From 1973 to 2011, sperm count has crashed down by 60%. 

A few potential causes of low sperm count and low sperm motility:

1. Phthalates (from plastics)

2. Estrogen (from body fat or chemicals in the environment)

3. Insulin resistance (high levels of insulin can lower testosterone) 

4. Statins (testosterone is made from cholesterol)

5. GMO foods (glyphosate)

6. Soy (soy has been directly associated with low sperm count)

Professor Thomas Seyfried’s Discussion on Cancer: (Layperson’s Version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyt3D... 

Professor Thomas Seyfried’s Discussion on Cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ylTp...

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about ketones and cancer. I want to answer the question, “can ketones feed cancer?”

I actually contacted professor Thomas Seyfried to help me with this question, and this video is based on what he told me. Professor Thomas Seyfried is an expert on cancer and ketones. 

Ketones and fatty acids might be used in some slow-growing tumor cells that have retained some level of respiratory capacity. 

What does that mean?

There is one big difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell. That difference is how that cell is using its fuel. In a normal cell, you have this machine called the respiratory chain that basically takes fuel and turns it into something the body can use to run all of the different metabolic processes. Oxygen is the key thing in this process. 

When this system is damaged, there is no oxygen. So, how do the cells turn oxygen into energy? They have a plan B. They convert over to a different mechanism where they ferment glucose and glutamine, which is a specific type of amino acid. So, cancer cells ferment glucose and glutamine. This alternative mechanism doesn’t need oxygen.

In this podcast, I'm going to talk about the paleo diet. People have asked me whether or not they should be more of a vegan or carnivore. I personally believe you should consume a diet with a combination of plants and animal products.

Several archeologists found direct evidence at a site in northern Israel of what people ate 780,000 years ago. It was a combination of plants and animals. In other places around the world, people would eat pretty much whatever they could get. 

Based on this article, the archeologists found that these humans ate a large range of plants, including:

 • Thistle seed

 • Water lilies 

 • Acorns 

 • Water chestnuts

 • Olives 

 • Some fruit (Fruit was very different then, it was much less sweet and was seasonal.)

These humans also consumed:

 • Elephant brains 

 • Whole animals 

 • Insects

In this podcast, we're going to talk about why babies thrive on keto. 

When a woman is pregnant, especially during the last trimester, 30% of all of the energy fed to that baby is from ketones. Once the baby is born, for the first two hours, they're running off of lactate. But, after that, they convert to ketones again.

Ketones are not meant to be an alternative fuel. In fact, breast milk is loaded with MCT fats, which then turn into ketones. 

A baby's brain makes up between 11-12% of their entire body weight, as compared to an adult brain, which only makes up 2% of the weight. With a newborn, 75% of all of the energy used is for the brain. An adult uses 20-25% of energy for the brain. 

Ketones not only provide a good amount of fuel for an infant's brain, but they also provide the building blocks for the lipids of the infant's brain. Ketones also supply the brain with 90% of the carbon to make the white matter. 

Babies are born with extra fat because that fat can help supply more ketones. But, formulas are like giving a baby a high carb diet. The glucose and carbohydrates will prevent the ketones from being used as fuel. Consider trying to breastfeed as long as possible. In the process, make sure you're eating foods with all of the ket nutrients. That way, the child has the best chance of optimizing their IQ, bone formation, the reduction of risk of different diseases, and their longevity. 

If we started out on ketones, why would we want to go to a high carb diet?

Today we’re going to talk about how stress can actually make you fat. I’ve had some diabetics test their blood sugars when they go through stress, and stress seems to elevate the blood sugars, but why? 

Your body’s response to stress is spiking cortisol. Cortisol has the potential to significantly raise your blood sugars. You could be on the keto diet and doing everything right, but your blood sugars are still going up. This could be because of stress or trauma. 

Stress side effects on weight loss:

 • Cortisol can release glucose from your liver.

 • It deaminates protein, which means it basically breaks down protein and turns it into glucose. 

 • Cortisol can lower your insulin sensitivity, which can lead to inulin resistance. 

 • Cortisol will drive the storage of fat to your midsection. This could be why people with a lot of stress end up with weight gain around their midsection.

In this podcast, let's talk about adrenal fatigue. The question I want to answer is this: can adrenal fatigue cause you to gain weight? 

The first thing you need to know is that the medical profession does not acknowledge adrenal fatigue as a medical problem. They just don't recognize it.

There's a condition called Cushing's syndrome, which is characterized by high cortisol or hypercortisolism. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone, and the adrenal glands are responsible for creating it. 

The thing is, you don't just wake up with this Cushing's. It gradually starts and gets worse it worse. The starting point is adrenal fatigue—the same way that prediabetes happens before type II diabetes. 

With a full-blown Cushing's syndrome case, you can see these symptoms:

• Visceral fat

• High blood pressure

• Round face

• Red cheeks

• Fatigue

• Anxiety

• Buffalo hump

• Fat-collar bone

• Thin skin

• Decreased libido

• Hypokalemia

• Low vitamin D

• Insomnia

However, people with adrenal fatigue can also experience these symptoms, but they may not be quite as severe.

Today we're going to talk about magnesium and why you may feel a lot better if you start eating more magnesium foods. 

If you go to the doctor, and you have a magnesium deficiency, it won't show up in a blood test. This is because 99% of that magnesium is inside of the cell, not outside of the cell in the blood. Just because the test is normal, doesn't mean you're not deficient. There is something called a subclinical deficiency where you might have some magnesium, but not the full amount. 

There are over 300 enzymes that are involved in many different biochemical reactions that require magnesium. 

Out of all of the minerals, magnesium is the second most important to potassium. You need both of these in pretty large quantities. 90% of the magnesium is located in the muscles and bones. If you have low magnesium, you may have bone problems and problems with the muscles like muscle cramps, muscle weakness, or muscle stiffness. Another key function of magnesium is maintaining electrical charge in the cells. 

Another symptom of a subclinical magnesium deficiency is vascular calcification. Calcium and magnesium work together. It's not just about taking too much calcium. It could be a deficiency in magnesium or a deficiency in vitamin K2. 

The two main causes of a magnesium deficiency:

1. Consuming too many refined foods 

2. Not consuming enough foods high in magnesium 

If you don't feel quite right or you don't have enough energy, consider increasing your magnesium intake for one week and see what happens.
