Today, I am blessed to have here with me Ryan Brown. Having battled years of eating disorders and the chronic consequences of such behavior, Ryan has decided to embark on another healing journey, bringing you the no-BS truth about healing using a ketogenic lifestyle! Where being fat adapted is king and allows you to pursue your individual health goals!

In this episode, Ryan opens up about his eating disorder; he went from 88 pounds to 130. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of his health problems. Ryan speaks about his small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN) diagnosis. Plus, he talks about detoxing from heavy metals and mold toxicity. Later, Ryan dives into all things ketosis and busts some common misconnections people have around a keto lifestyle.

[00:50] Male Anorexia: Ryan Opens Up About His Eating Disorder 

• Ryan’s health journey began eight years ago.
• He was 88 pounds and dealt with severe anorexia. 
• Plus, Ryan was suffering from hardcore mental health problems.
• Eventually, Ryan got his weight up to 130. However, that wasn’t the end of his health problems. 
• Despite gaining weight, Ryan’s energy never returned, and he never addressed his emotional trauma from childhood.  
• Later, Ryan was diagnosed with small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN). 

[11:40] Mercury in Tuna: Measuring Heavy Metals in Human Hair 

• One of Ryan Brown’s heroes is Dr. Terry Wahls. Learn more about Dr. Wahls here: https://terrywahls.com

When Ryan did a deep dive on functional medicine, he looked at his mercury levels.

At one point, Ryan had been eating tuna daily for four years. 

When Ryan tested his hair follicle levels for mercury, his levels came back extremely high. 

Blood tests will look at acute mercury, but they won’t give you chronic levels of mercury. 

The bigger the fish, the more toxins they are going to have. 

[18:20] Mold Toxicity: Getting Your Energy Levels Back With a Heavy Metal Detox

• Another deep dive Ryan did on his health was regarding mold toxicity. 
• In LA, Ryan found black mold in his home; he lived in it for over a year.
• After moving out of that environment, Ryan’s energy levels finally increased.
• Detoxing from heavy metals and staying in ketosis have been total game-changers for Ryan’s health. 

[21:15] Free Tools to Improve and Support Your Mental Health 

• Ryan will start his day by journaling. He writes about good things that are going on in his life. 
• Once you believe in something, great things are going to happen. 
• Plus, Ryan will spend as much time outside as possible. 
• He loves to ground himself and practice breathing.
• Breathwork is one of the most potent mindset tools that we have. 

[27:40] Why Ryan Is Such a Big Fan of Getting Into Ketosis 

• Ketosis is one of the most potent therapeutic tools anyone can use as a human being.
• Ketosis will help reset your body and give you humanity back.
• Infants are in ketosis, and women during pregnancy are in ketosis too. 
• So many people in the United States are metabolically inflexible. Every single one of these people can benefit from ketosis. 

[30:10] Ryan Debunks Common Misconceptions About Keto 

• Too many health coaches and influencers are making ketosis complicated.
• Ketosis is not complex; it’s simple. 
• One of the biggest mistakes people make is eating things that are labeled “keto.” 
• Nothing in the world labeled “keto” beats eating real and whole foods. 
• You need to focus on real food instead of packaged and processed goods.
• Another thing people are getting wrong is worrying about eating too much protein. It’s actually pretty challenging to get into gluconeogenesis. 

[35:40] Animal-Based Proteins Are Amazing for the Human Body 

• Pretty much everything you hear mainstream, almost the opposite is true. 
• Animals have the full array of amino acids that the human body needs.
• While on the other hand, plants do not have the full array of amino acids we need.
• Ryan is a massive fan of eating fatty red meat. 
• You need cholesterol to synthesize vitamin D.
• Also, don’t be afraid to eat eggs; eggs are great for your hormones. 

[39:30] Cholesterol Is Critical for the Body and Your Overall Health

• More people die from heart disease with normal to low cholesterol than with high cholesterol. 
• Cholesterol is essential; your membrane is made up of partly cholesterol.
• Ryan says that statins are the most significant pharmaceutical scam in the medical industry.
