People assume that personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts are dumb. Broscience has been synonymous with trainers who impart fitness advice without a scientific basis. But Alexander Cortes or AJAC has his way of flipping the broscience culture.

As a certified personal trainer, he applies clinical data, hard science, and evidence from study together with practical, real-world applications. He maintains a reputation for educating his clients based on knowledge and intellect. The goal is to make diet simple yet effective so more people can understand it. His interest in fitness made him learn more about its historical context. The connection he found between history, fitness, and nutrition helped him provide better diet recommendations and training for his clients.

Dr. Sean O’Mara was an emergency medicine physician. In that role, he treated people from all walks of life. And it was obvious, even the wealthiest people failed at being healthy. 

Despite being a doctor, he wasn't in good shape himself. In addition to being overweight, he suffered from several other chronic health issues. 

A patient confronted him about his weight and introduced him to the paleo diet. That's all it took for him to realize how much impact even a small change in diet could have on overall health. His medical training utterly failed to prepare him to understand the changes that he experienced from changing his diet.

He became a researcher for the purpose of learning more about how to reverse chronic disease. He found that there is nothing more effective at eradicating chronic disease than visceral fat as a biomarker. He believes that the availability of knowledge on how dietary lifestyle changes reverse chronic diseases will significantly help his patients and the healthcare system.

The confusion over diet or nutrition is because patients have no idea what to eat. It's not a lack of money or a busy schedule.

A physician assistant turned culinary and nutrition educator, Shefaly Ravula provides a personalized approach to her patients to develop their diet plan. When her father, a vegetarian and a thin man, had a heart attack, she was left perplexed. It was an example of TOFI - thin outside, fat inside. The experience made her immerse herself to study nutrition for cardiac health. She also studied cardiology and even lipidology. She attended different conferences on integrative medicine, functional medicine, and culinary medicine.

She now focuses on teaching food-as-medicine cooking classes. Her desire is to help address diseases with the right food to eat. She continues to work with cardiologists and gastroenterologists to help the patients improve their health through proper diet.

"Just eat whatever you want and cover it with insulin."

That was the advice Nayiri Mississian received as a type 1 diabetic. She learned that it didn't improve her blood sugars. No matter what she did, her blood sugars continue to rise. The one thing she didn't try was slashing the carbs from her diet.

A chance encounter with Jason Fung persuaded her to adapt low-carb diet and extended fasting in her lifestyle. Her blood sugar improved. She took her bio-hacking even further with extended fasting. The "experts" say diabetics shouldn't fast. Yet she found that extended fasts helped to reset her insulin sensitivity.

Her biohacking led to optimized health, stable blood sugars, and reduced insulin needs.

She shares scientific information about low carbs and fasting on her website and social media platforms.

People come to Dr. Howard J. Luks because of shoulder or knee pain, but his findings led him to advise his patients about their metabolic health. As an orthopedic surgeon, he has studied the links between metabolic health disorders and their consequences on bones, cartilage, and soft tissues. His book “Longevity… Simplified” focuses on the root cause of chronic diseases and how to live a longer and healthier life. He continues to work with his patients to improve their metabolic health and to make sure that they stay off his operating table.

Dr. Howard J. Luks is an orthopedic surgeon in New York for 25 years. He studied the root causes of why people aren’t aging well, chronic pains, and their connections to metabolic health. His book “Longevity… Simplified” gives people simple, actionable advice to be metabolically healthy.

“There is a root cause for many of the chronic diseases that are going to come for us. I wanted to get across the concept that these diseases are area under the curve issues that they are often interrelated and can complement or worsen each other's presence. And I want to keep people out of rabbit holes at a strict elimination diet away from buying supplements that aren't going to work or sweating and throwing up on a peloton. So, I wanted to provide them with really a simple, actionable advice.” - Dr. Howard J. Luks

Dr. Chris Palmer is the pioneer in using low carbohydrate ketogenic diets to treat psychiatric patients suffering from treatment-resistant mental disorders.

As a traditionally-trained psychiatrist, it was hard for him to believe the results his psychiatric patients experienced when they "went keto." He knew the ketogenic diet had been used for 100 years to treat epilepsy. He theorized that the therapeutic effects must extend to other mental illnesses.

Dr. Palmer's results - both in the clinic and the lab - gives hope to people who suffer from brain dysfunctions previously thought to be incurable.

Dr. Chris Palmer has been a psychiatrist for over 25 years. He is also an educator, an assistant professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and the director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at the McLean Hospital.

"Never take nutrition advice from a fat doctor."

When Dr. Ken Berry tweeted that, he received a lot of blowbacks, but trust him, he knows what he’s saying. It is hard to listen to somebody when he can't even fix himself. In his mid-thirties, Dr. Berry was overweight and suffered from a wide range of health issues. As a family physician, he was aware of how terrible his nutritional advice was. And so,  as part of his self-healing and his desire to help others to live healthy lives, he began to seek answers.

In search for the optimal diet, the paleo-anthropological literature gave this clear answer: our ancestors ate fatty meats. This led him to the ketogenic diet. He made it a 30-day challenge at first, a temporary weight loss hack. He was losing a lot of weight, and his other medical problems – type-2 diabetes, chronic pains, severe reflux – were all gone. He recommended that his patients try keto for 90 days and the results were consistent. They started losing weight. The chronic pains were getting better. No more heartburn. Reversing type 2 diabetes. Reversing fatty liver.

These results all begged the same question: was it because of keto?

Dr. Berry's passion for good health and the benefits of the ketogenic diet came with a price. It hasn't been easy. But he refuses to back down. As long as he gets to help humans to be healthy and not be crippled by disease, there is no stopping him.

As a performer, Bella has always been concerned with how she looked. She had acne problems and serious weight issues that she wanted to overcome. Desperate to find healing, she turned to the vegan diet. She only ate whole-food plant-based and did not take any supplements. Great results happened initially. She finally lost weight and felt some surge of energy. But after a few years, her body started to feel nutrient deficiencies, she wasn’t getting her period, and her skin condition didn’t improve at all.

After 6 years of vegan diet, amidst the guilt-tripping of the community, she left and started to eat meat again. From a committed whole-foods vegan, she chose to go full carnivore diet.

And she has never felt that great.

That’s how she became the Steak and Butter Gal. In this episode, hear the first-hand experience of someone who has been on different sides of the dieting spectrum, why the carnivore diet makes her feel her best, and how she uses her platform to reach and help more people by building a support community.

In this episode:
16:36 - Vegan Community uses guilt to keep people inline - "protect the animals, protect the earth"
20:36 - What the vegan community said when she asked if  having "no cycle" was normal
22:00 - The whole food vegan
23:15 - The essential elements absent from a plant-based diet
39:00 - Eating a whole stick of butter every day

People are so used to the state of imbalance in their lives, but it should not be the norm. For someone like Shawna Smith who is strongly empathic and intuitive and has the natural ability to see people's strengths and weaknesses, she can evaluate how a body (or a part of it) is out of balance. This is how she helps people heal. The process is to find the connection points, to recognize the small issues and how they may lead to possible problems or major health concerns. 

But we have been so used to measurable healing, with CAT scans, blood work, and lab tests here and there, that we have overlooked other healing modalities.

Shawna vocally stands for finding balance, striving for wellness, and acknowledging different healing therapies. And she wants to share these lessons with more people. Listen to her profoundly talks about honing one’s intuition and compassion, how intuitive healing works, and the move towards unification of healthcare.

Rita Brewer had her sight set on the medical field at a very young age. She worked in surgery as a Physicians Assistant, and still loves surgery. But she's a lifelong learner, and continues to explore and finds ways to grow.

After going through all the conventional treatments for her autoimmune disease - without success - she began a search for integrative therapies: energy medicine, lifestyle medicine, and functional medicine. 

That's where she found healing.

Tired of a system that doesn't allow flexibility, she transitioned out of conventional medicine and started her health coaching practice incorporating the different integrative therapies she learned along the way. In this conversation, Rita discusses her life as someone who has a foot in both allopathic medicine and integrative practices, the limitations of conventional medicine, and her hopes to provide a holistic health environment.
