This week on the KetoHacking MD Podcast, Jimmy and John are joined by Mackay Rippey to talk about DNA testing to inform your KetoHacking. Mackay Rippey from GetToKnowYourDNA.com has been an acupuncturist for 28 years and discovered along the way that stealth infections, like Lyme disease, were the causative factor underlying many of his chronically ill, hard to treat patients. As part of his deep dive into Lyme disease, he got interested in the genetic variants that can turn normal nutritional pathways into train wrecks. After hearing Jimmy tell the story of his various keto hacking train wrecks, Mackay decided to reach out and offer to take a look at Jimmy’s DNA to help him uncover why his health keeps jumping the tracks.

Welcome back to The KetoHacking MD Podcast. The Ketogenic diet is all the rage right now, and for good reason. We love the keto lifestyle and on this show we take it a step further and look at ways to supercharge your keto experience. We call that KetoHacking. For the last couple of weeks we’ve been focusing on the topic of Neurofeedback and today Jimmy and John welcome special guest Dr. Andrew Hill to talk about how he incorporates neuroscience into his practice. Dr. Andrew Hill is one of the top peak performance coaches in the country. He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA's department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognitive performance. Dr. Hill is the founder of Peak Brain Institute, host of the Head First Podcast with Dr. Hill, and lectures at UCLA, teaching courses in psychology, neuroscience, and gerontology. "The debates about neurofeedback remind me of the arguments about vegan vs carnivore diets." – Jimmy Moore "I have always wanted to understand how things work, and humans are no exception." – Dr. Andrew Hill

50: Dr. Andrew Hill Uses Neuroscience To Optimize Cognitive Performance

For the last couple of weeks we've been focusing on the topic of Neurofeedback and today Jimmy and John take a look at how this hack is going with a two-week progress update. Listen in today as Jimmy and John talk about:  How the past couple of weeks have been going What they hope to see for the next two weeks coming up What makes this hack different from some of the previous ones How this has affected Jimmy's sleep How the feedback might help your keto diet and much more  "Our basic premise with you is that stress is a big factor. I think it is a cumulative effect and the longer you do it the more benefit you'll get." – John Limansky MD "I think the fact that I am sleeping so much better and sounder quantifiably with the data is proof positive that I needed to do this sooner than later." – Jimmy Moore  

49: Two Week Neurofeedback Hack Update

Recently, we've focused on the topic of Neurofeedback and how technology helps us address stress and its causes in our lives. We continue in this vein today as Jimmy and Dr. Limansky delve more into the science behind stress.   Listen in today as Jimmy and John talk about:   What do we mean when discussing stress  Acute stress vs chronic stress  Physiological response (what happens to the body in an acute stress response vs chronic response)  Cortisol, norepinephrine & other stress hormones  Diseases associated with chronic stressors How to measure stress with labs vs biohacking tools  Integration into measurement of HRV & Muse  Techniques to help mitigate stress in daily life  “When we start talking about chronic stress cortisol becomes chronically secreted. When that happens you have chronically elevated blood sugars as a response from it.” – Dr. John Limansky  “I believe the reason why so many doctors tend to put on belly weight is chronic stress.” – Jimmy Moore 

48: The Biological Pathways Of Stress And How To  Deal With It

For the past few weeks on the KetoHacking MD Podcast, we have been focusing on the topic of Neurofeedback and how this technology could help give you important data to help you figure out just how you can get the most from your ketogenic biohacking. Last week we continued to shine a light on neurofeedback and looked at the specific technology we're using for this experiment. This week we are talking with Dr. Jay Wiles about how he is using this technology in his psychology practice, as well as how this technology has become more mainstream and how it is helping doctors treat patients in new and innovative ways. "The great thing about biofeedback is that there is a ton of clinical utility with this modality and it is becoming more commonly used especially with veterans services." – Dr. Jay Wiles “This is a subject that more people are becoming interested in especially as people realize what role stress is playing in all our lives.” – Dr. John Limansky “It's interesting to see the medical establishment starting to open up to the ideas of biohacking with nutrition and biofeedback.” – Jimmy Moore
