Clay Diet

 Various methods, main staple is eating bentonite clay

Made from ash, used for many healthy purposes- skin for example

Weight loss Concept

It swell in stomach to 2x the size to fill you up

Attaches to heavy metals and “toxins”

Star Power - Zoe Kravits was recommended Clay Diet to lose 20ls for “The Road Within”

It worked, but she said it 

“Felt awful” “I was a space cadet and sick” “ I don't recommend this to anybody

“Ate a mason jar of clay and purred vegetables and ran a lot”

Complications

Studies do show it causes abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.

Can perforate bowels and cause acute kidney damage

Binds to everything good and bad

Slows calcium and iron absorption

Can slow down medications

Supports Often Say

“Proven” to attach to fat, in rat models. But what’s wrong with fat? And I’m not a mouse

Aboriginals do it!

Australian Aboriginals do it for weight loss where most do it to combat hunger

Australian aboriginals have some of the highest Diabetes and heart disease in the world for tribesmen

Comparing a healthy habit to one of the least healthy of their kind?

The Fletcherizing Diet

One of the Original Fad Diets

Medical Definition of fletcherize

to reduce (food) to tiny particles especially by prolonged chewing

Origins of the chew for 32x model

“Nature will castigate those who don’t masticate,” claimed Dr. Horace Fletcher, 

Concept

Chew all food 100x, even liquids so they can “properly mix with saliva for digestion”

People lost weight

Very slow eating period

Got full with eating less

Got tired of chewing for so long and would eat less

Also original who touted to know what it is that you are eating

He heavily claimed and announced that this diet can make your feces smell better. 

For everybody who cares about that…

Famous Fletcherizers-

Thomas Edison, Mark Twain, and John D. Rockefeller 

There are known benefits to chewing more

Slows us down so we eat less

Allows us to enjoy our food instead of inhale and vanish

We absorb more nutrients

Whole corn or spinach in your stool? Didn’t absorb it,  you eat to quickly

Chew everything 32 times compared to 10 and…

Took almost twice as long to eat

Ate 12% less

240kcal on a 2000kcal diet

Significant enough to lose weight

Fletcher made millions and then a new dietary theory came out called “Calorie Counting”

 

The Master Cleanse, AKA The Lemonade Diet AKA The Diuretic diet

There are a ton of variations

All basically come down to 5 to 10 days of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper into water

approximately 600kcal

Essentially just ingesting diuretics

Does it work?

Can lose 10 to 20 pounds of WATER weight relatively quickly

An original bonus was cited as you“Don’t need teeth”

Should I do it

Will gain the weight right back once they eat food and water again

Can rapidly lose muscle when in extreme caloric deficit 

Common side effects of fatigue, nausea, dizziness, dehydration, stomach pains

Sounds like montezuma's revenge from school to me (Vitamin C and Magnesium)

 

The Five Bite Diet

Eat whatever you want -- but only five bites of it.

No breakfast except black coffee

Eat anything you desire for lunch and dinner, but only 5 bites of each

Drink as much 0 Calorie fluids as youd like

The concept is smaller portions to an extreme

Very difficult to get even 1000kcal in if you try

Doesn't matter what you eat, just how much

Standard day is

Breakfast- Black coffee and a multivitamin

Lunch- 3 bites of a burger and 2 of a salad

Dinner- 3 bites of macaroni and cheese and 2 of apple pie

Sounds like justified anorexia

Better off not eating (metabolically speaking) then eating so little and being malnourished and rapidly decrease your metabolism

 

Cigarettes For Weight Loss

Smoking kills 1 in 5 people

Has been known for decades it is an appetite suppressant

Nicotine specifically 

Is a common reason for teenagers, mostly female, to s

Over five years ago, the mad scientist Jim Goetz saw a movie and thought, "what if we did it this way instead"? With the support of his friends, family and colleagues, Keto Size Me was born.

Dr. Michael Brandon will consume for 30 days his caloric requirements...in hamburger patties...from Burger King. This equates to 20 burgers per day. He may drink only water during this time.

Physical, mental, and cognitive markers have been tested and will be retested along the way and experts in the fields of nutrition and human physiology will be included.

This monumental film will rock and shock the world! Everything you once thought was good, may not be. What you once thought was bad, may be good.

Find out as Jim Goetz and Dr. Mike Brandon pursue and unveil the Keto Size Me Movie!

Fun Friday at Functionised is hosted by Jim Goetz, Chantea Goetz with weekly special guest, Dr. Michael Brandon. Intro- Like diet, we look for east-outs and magic pills for exercise Fads come routinely We look for the least effort, ideally entertainment involved, and promises of maximum results Typically don’t work Wii fit- The whole console had wide spread popularity Cruise lines, retirement homes, day camps, because “active” Wii Fit and Wii Sports Fit- predomenitly on or near a balance board Told weight, BMI, and Wii fit age Based mostly on balance- important but not major part of fitness and exercise health Different modes Strength- single leg extension, russian twist, lunges, plank Yoga- balance Aerobics- jog in place or hula hooping with wii-mote in pocket to track Does have progressions, increased time or repetitions of an exercise Better than “traditional” games for health, but not exercise Wii Sports- calories tracked Wii tennis- 5 calories a minute, real tennis, 8kcal Wii boxing 7kcal/min, Light sparring 11kcal Almost half, but better than nothing Not an exercise replacement Entertaining and easily marketable Hawaii Chair “If you can sit, you can get fit” Oscillates up to 2800rpm in Hula hoop style It does all the work, but proper seating will give a mild core burn from trying to maintain balance Suggested to do at work for phone calls, computer work, etc Ellen Show- Showed her having difficulty pouring water Work isn’t likely going to happen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHiqV... Maybe better for watching tv Hawaii Chair Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_co... Meuler Belt- Huge in the early 1900’s as a sedentary exercise Stand still with a wide belt around you and gives a rapid and short vibration to and fro Thought was how vibration can cause contractions Validity like the vibe plate, but this just shook the external fat Would change belt position every few minutes to “target” different areas. Vomiting and heartburn was commonplace Don’t eat before you try 1 study showed it increased white blood cell count in the obese; science is unsure why Concept was spot training of the abdominals and buttocks Spot training doesn’t work, and this didn’t affect muscles anyway At best it could give a mild increase in tone as if one was to flex abs all day. Flexing is normal response to outside abdominal movement, like being punched when we tense ourselves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iet33... Here is a class of men using it from the 1930’s Shake weight- Designed to oscillate to “increase muscle activation during exercise” Great marketing tool due to the sexual nature Simply can’t use it and make it look normal Like making eye contact with a friend while eating a banana- hysterical Lacks 2 key elements of strength training Doesn’t work muscles in a full ROM There is no progressions such as increased resistance It has been shown to not increase muscle firing as the product suggests Can give some endurance and tone to forearms at best But so does the old brick tied to a stick method Horse Riding Fitness Power Ace- Company Commercial and box says: “Meant for anyone who wants to workout by riding a horse while watching TV in their living room” Do not attempt these moves without the machine or you may fall and hurt yourself” Meant to mimic the muscles engaged during horseback riding This does impact core and legs rather well on a horse It looks like a partial collapsible bipod with a seat that springs and wiggles lightly Like a far less aggressive mechanical bull that you put the motions into Advertised as working the quads, but the machine stands you up so legs are minimally affected You wiggle and thrust, looks incredibly sexual Lower back does a lot of the effort, and you can fall off if you “get into it” and thrust too hard If weak or inhibited core, could actually hurt your back on this Appears to poorly mimic riding anything, and doesn’t give much of a workout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtwZM...

Healthy Happy Hour with Jim Goetz and Chantea Goetz of Functionised present the dangers and how to protect yourself from harmful EMF exposure. Jim and Chantea Goetz take you through the in's and out's of the causes, effects and modalities to overcome the deletrious effects of harmful EMF exposure.

It is estimated that 3-8 percent of populations in developed countries experience serious electrohypersensitivity symptoms, while 35 percent experience mild symptoms, according to Dr. Thomas Rau, medical director of the world-renowned Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland. Dr. Rau also believes that 'electromagnetic loads' lead to cancer, concentration problems, ADD, tinnitus, migraines, insomnia, arrhythmia, Parkinson's, and even back pain.For people with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS), just walking into a coffee shop that is WI-FI equipped can be debilitating, triggering a wide array of symptoms including headache, fatigue, nausea, burning and itchy skin, and muscle aches. Some students have to drop out of school or are unable to continue on to graduate programs once they become electrically sensitive, irrespective of their intelligence and capabilities.

Even just briefly standing in line at the post office, or traveling on public transportation, can be a debilitating experience for some people, sometimes taking hours to restore balance.

Even your physical body, such as your body weight, body-mass index, bone density, and water and electrolyte levels can alter the conductivity and biological reactivity to EMFs. Children are also particularly vulnerable.

Obesity and Cancer- Your Fault or Your Genetics

intro conversation

Does genetics impact you getting obese.

Maybe;

Genetics minor role

Your choices and circumstances can increase or decrease your genetic risk

This means we can somewhat control it

A few hundred years ago we werent eating and very active to survive

hence why we have fat to store

Society allows easy access- and we eat excess

Good news is that you have the control this

Anyone can lose weight

Calories in vs out

Decreased metabolism, diabetes, complicate

But unhealthy life style caused it

Changing to a healthy one early enough reverses it and many others.

Genetics and obesity FTO

Cant deny environments part on making us obese, but how much does genetics matter?

“Runs in the family” - habits, not genetics

Italian pasta sedentary family- kids become?

Our genes didn’t suddenly change 100 years ago.(obesity)

however 100-ish genetic markers linked to obesity.

all of them together account for less than 3% difference in BMI between people

. The “fat gene” (called FTO, “FaT mass and Obesity associated’’) most linked

less than 1 percent difference between people- 0.34 percent.

Do you have FTO?

Who cares- results in a few hundred extra calories per year

In other words, no; those genes don’t make you look fat.

FTO gene has appears weaker among physically active,

may be abolished in those eating healthier diets.

FTO only appears to affect certian high sat/tran fats and sugar

Thos active and healthy eating, no increased weight gain risk even with fto from both parents

FTO gene status does not appear to affect your ability to lose weight.

 

We were designed for food to be addicting

Obesity does usually become lack of willpower

Eat right, workout right, live well)drink smoke)

Our environment makes us use self control for food

Id love to eat a bunch of junk too, some of it is delicious!- moderate

We are designed to eat everything, and move to survive- not required anymore

its why we crave sugar and fat- fast and high cal

Since food wasnt always available, those that could eat the most survived the longest.,

We no longer need to be active to be alive, so we have to do it voluntarily a lot- exercise

Cancer and genetics

Cancer= mutations, then uncontrolled growth

External- tobacco, alcohol, standing in radioactive sludge, south park microwave etc

Internal- “random cellular changes

Inherited mutations-

Different; in the dna of every cell

Genetics affect cancer, but so does environment

Inherited genetic mutations plays role in 5 to 10 percent of all cancers

Slightly more with hormonal cancers in generl

Colon CA- has been increasing 1% to 3% annually- not solely genetic

Our environment will activate those susceptible to cancer

Cancer growers- like kidney stone growers

.Genetic testing for cancers-

can, but may not want to, depends.

Suggested if

several close relatives have had it,

if youve had it or another cancer before,

Just want to be proactive

Have a physical trait suggesting CA- Café-au-lait spots

Neurofibromatosis-

Genetic, changes nerve growth, causes nerve tumors

10% to 25% have café-au-lait spots; NF

is suspected when a person has 6 or more

Cancer and Enviroment-

“Everything causes cancer now”

Cleaners, tobacco, alcohol, standing in radioactive goo, cooking with foil

Cancer percentage has increased

Especially younger adults, 20-50yrs

heavily correlated with youth obesity

Excess body fat increases

Colorectal, uterine, kidney, pancreatic and more

constantly from inflammation

Visceral fat releases estrogens

higher estrogen levels increase cell production, could result in tumor growth,”

Fat cells release proinflammatides

 

Ending thoughts?

 

Healthy lifestyle = diet AND exercise people.

healthy lifestyle can help prevent and treat diseases more than genetics

Not excuses for why youre unhealthy, find reasons and ways to change it

Podcast Show Notes found at Functionised.com/podcast.html

Meet Brad Kearns, an Athlete who has no limits.Brad Kearns is all fired up to be Functionised in this episode of the Functionised podcast with the madscientist Jim Goetz.

Highlights from the episode;

10.33 Brad speaks about how becoming an athlete is not all about having fun.

16.30 Brad dwells into some of the extreme endurance athletes.

35.00 Brad Kearns discusses the big three modern foods.

53.39 Brad offers some life advice.

Brad talks about when he got his ass kicked many times and only then did he realize that his impersonality flaws got the better of him, but regardless, he still wanted to compete at the top level with the very best. He says that he had to make adjustments like resting more and regulating his heart rate, thus sticking with the plan patiently.Brad Kearns narrates about a dream he had of becoming an athlete his whole life. It was difficult because he was a young guy in the game trying to compete, but he says that he enjoyed that challenge. In his first year, he upset the top-grade guys in the world, and right there he made his name known to the people. Several media centers and sponsors started reaching out and from there onwards, he started getting more serious because of the challenges.Asked if his training times were commensurating with where he should be, Brad says you have to cultivate the natural sense of confidence which builds gradually through hard work.As the episode rolls on, both the mad scientist Jim Goetz and Brad Kearns talk about the Netflix documentary called iron cowboy. You’ll hear Brad Kearns laugh a little bit and says the extreme endurance athletes are amazing in what they do and it’s a great inspiration, but one has to take care of the body physically and not push it too much.According to Brad Kearns, the greatest training breakthrough was the wireless heart rate monitor which he says he wears one even now.  He mentions his app called (BradBeat HRV) where he says he doesn’t want numbers telling him what to do but instead uses his intuition.Asked whether he's been living a ketogenic lifestyle which is believed to be a suitable lifestyle for athletes, he replies by echoing about a recent discovery where your body adapts to be a fat-burning machine without the necessity of external calorie ingestion. What's needed is to change your diet into one that has fewer carbs (he explains it so well)

Brad Kearns emphasizes that the best way to get into ketosis is through fasting rather than taking in lots of fat. Brad Kearns being in the health business for a while, is triggered to talk about MOFO (Male Optimization Formula W/Organs).Before we forget, when it comes to speed golf, Brad is among the top 20 across the globe in the pro circuit and In fact, he set the speed golf score record and then broke it twice.Brad Kearns offers some advice to the public stating that no matter the age, the athletic background, or current life circumstances, you just have to find that one thing that lights you up to keep you going every day you wake up. Brad Kearns has a podcast called get over yourself.
