HealthCast Now - The Intersection of Health, Wellness & Circadian Optimization

Maria is a health and wellness expert and author of several books. She was always active in sports, even when she was a kid, but was still always on the heavy side. She thought it must’ve just been how her body’s was meant to be. It wasn’t until she studied science and nutrition that she began questioning the “standard” diet that promotes dietary grains and milk. She has since leaned towards a low-carb diet and now a ketogenic diet from which her books were now based on.

Today Maria talks about how the ketogenic diet changed her life, her tips for people who want to start with a ketogenic diet, her thoughts on the vilification of fat, and how ice cold water can help boost mitochondrial health.

" People underestimate the power of just being outside.” Maria Emmerich

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• In a ketogenic diet, always count total carb and not net.
• She calls the ketogenic diet the happy diet due to how it improves the overall mood of the person.
• Sugar is inflammatory and complex carbs, what many call “healthy carbs”, become sugar in your blood stream. To lower inflammation, lower sugar intake even those from complex carbs.
• You can't store protein in your body. Too much will turn into sugar too especially if you're not active.
• Ketogenic diet will have you losing water weight and electrolytes. When you’re depressed or moody, sometimes you just have low electrolytes. One quick way to remedy that is to drink water with salt but don’t make it too salty.
• Maria says a when it comes to macros for losing weight, your diet should be around 5% carbs, 20% protein, and 75% fat – healthy saturated fats. This will trigger ketosis.
• The best cure for adrenal fatigue is 10 hours of sleep.
• The ketogenic diet will keep your blood sugar levels stable. No spiking, no crashing. No crashing means no sudden hunger. Ketones will get you a natural high which is like sugar but won't crash you.
• Mitochondria are mostly made up of water cells which you can negatively and positively charge. She advocates “EZ” water therapy which involves drinking ice cold water first thing in the morning.

Key Takeaways:

• People would be healthier if their practitioners just asked them what they were eating.
• Pick new goals all the time, don't do everything overnight.

Robb Wolf - Part 2

Robb Wolf is the author of the New York Times Best Seller The Paleo Solution, the very book that has since made him a popular figure in the health and fitness world. When he’s not writing new books, he’s practicing mixed martial arts, coaches athletes, and conducts seminars in nutrition and strength to both small groups of people and large entities.
Today, Robb gives us his thoughts on why the ketogenic diet – as effective as it is – is not the best diet out there, how his new book connects with his other books, and why people should always be critical on a way a diet is making them feel or perform.

“Inadequate social connection, love and intimacy is as impactful on our health as a pack a day smoking habit.” Robb Wolf

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The Paleo diet is the foundation of Robb’s 30-day reset.
The paleo lifestyle template changed medicine and nutrition forever.
The ketogenic diet is effective and makes a lot of people feel great and perform better but it's just part of the many tools in a huge toolbox just like fasting.
Ketogenic diets may not be as effective especially when it comes to athletes or bodybuilders due to its low-carb nature.
A good diet should help improve your biomarkers. If they don't, then there's a different approach for you, there's something out there that will work.
Sleep deprivation causes insulin resistance. If your job requires you to stay up at night until morning, something low carb or ketogenic in nature is your best bet.
Type A people shouldn't do intermittent fasting because fasting stresses your system and being Type A means your system is most likely stressed. On the other hand, the laidback worker, could benefit from intermittent fasting.

Key Takeaways:

You can't not produce a book thru mainstream publishers and not have some sort of a weight loss element to it.
A good diet should help improve your biomarkers. If they don't, then there's a different approach for you, there's something out there that will work.

Jamie Caporosso practically grew up in the gym and lifting weights and has been competing as a drug-free power lifter since 1989. As a high performing professional athlete, his transformation story is nothing short of amazing. Jamie graduated from the University of Michigan in 1997 with a Bachelor’s of science. He is the owner of a gym in the Detroit region and an expert in ketogenic principles, especially with a Paleo-based template.

Jamie has developed the system of combining the Paleo and ketogenic diet ideology and has developed a macro-tracking app to help new ketogenic diet users gain a better understanding and track their keto percentages. Today, Jamie shares his transformation story, what inspired him to develop his unique Paleo-Keto system, and how the system has worked for his personal health and wellness as well as simple tips to help you get started in the Paleo, Keto, or Keto-Paleo worlds.

“Eat like you care about yourself.” – Jamie Coporosso

Part 4 Episode - with Morley Robbins on Excess Iron.

Morley Robbins Video on Iron, Magnesium etc.

Morley mentions that there is a much more in-depth video explanation, which is his "Theory of Everything", or "How To Fix Mitochondria By Re-Balancing Magnesium & Calcium, and Copper & Iron."

*Boron helps keep Mg INSIDE the cell (Relyte or Anderson's Concentrated Minerals contain much needed trace minerals such as boron)
*Bicarbonate helps get Mg INSIDE the Mitochondria (check files to learn how to make Mg water)

And, the Adrenal Cocktail helps keep Mg in balance with other electrolytes.

The Magnesium Protocol is an integral part of the Steps to Increase Ceruloplasmin protocol. That protocol brings toxic iron under control so Magnesium works better and it also increases the important bound Copper.

Dr. Jack Kruse Part 2 

Dr. Jack Kruse is a quantum clinician who took health medicine beyond nutrition and exercise and dove deep on the mitochondrial level. He believes seasonal dieting as well as other primal ways of living are key to optimum health. 

Today, Jack tells us why the liver is the gateway to health, his thoughts on chronic sleep deprivation, blue light exposure, and how they relate to celebrity deaths, and why he says the human body will need less food if you’re closer to nature. 

"When you have a consensus viewpoint, that's really not science; it's religion.” Dr. Jack Kruse 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• UV light is now being looked at for Cancer treatment 
• The liver plays a huge role in how the brain works with light. 
• Adiponectin is the 180 degree opposite leptin. If you’re leptin resistant your adiponectin is low. 
• When People lose the ability to recycle DHA both on long and short loops, it destroys sleep and it destroys the central retinal pathway, the exact pathway that controls all growth and metabolic pathways in the body.  
• Most musicians die due to sleep issues, neurodegeneration, and heart ailments caused by excessive blue light exposure and chronic lack of sleep. 
• Taking melatonin can actually ruin your retina during the day. 
• Altered light spectrums are the key things driving most Neolithic diseases. 
• Being leptin resistant makes exercise a bad thing because your mitochondrial health is poor. 
• Your body will need less food if you're connected to the ground more often as well as when your skin and eyes are connected or exposed to the solar spectrum. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Your body is technically built with wireless antennas. The more disconnected you are the more food you need. 
• When you know what the problem is, it makes you a better biohacker when it comes to mitigating your risk.

Head Strong Book & Optimizing Mitochondrial Health and Wellness with Dave Asprey 

Dave Asprey is the founder of Bulletproof Exec, a company geared towards biohacking to make sure the human body not only functions optimally, but ages slowly too.  

Before the invention of the now famous Bulletproof coffee, Dave was just another man walking the halls of Silicon Valley who once weighed a total of 300 unhealthy pounds. That was 20 years ago and he has since lost 100 pounds. He devoted his life to health and longevity and spent 15 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars hacking his own biology.  

Today, Dave talks about his new book called Head Strong, the reason why he wrote that book, his latest findings, and why he is now one of mitochondria’s biggest fans. 

"I changed breakfast for millions of people using biohacking.” Dave Asprey  

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• The Bulletproof Diet teaches you how to eat to have more energy and power with weight loss as a side effect. 
• His new book explains why the Bulletproof diet works. 
• When you know how mitochondria works, walking barefoot makes sense, cold bathing makes sense. 
• Neurons in the brain prefer ketones, but glial cells prefer glucose more than ketones. 
• Our brain has thousands more mitochondria than the whole body. 
• Light is terribly important for mitochondrial health.  
• You can get energy from melanin, not just in your skin, but also in your brain and eyes. 
• Mitochondrial dysfunction can also be called aging. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Mitochondria are the ones calling the shots, not you. 

• Your mitochondria listen to your phone and Wi-Fi. 
• The mitochondria are the smallest unit of consciousness in the body and the fastest bio sensors.
