http://notjustpaleo.com/free-health-consultation/ Today Dr. Justin and I discuss Calorie counting. This is something that many of our patients do before they come work with us. It's generally not needed but so many people do it because this is the conventional model of thinking when it comes to getting healthy and/or losing weight. If you are using a whole-foods approach to your nutrition, a lot of things will fall into place, which can include the amount of calories that you are consuming. Many times, obsessing, counting and even weighing your food can be a mistake, since it will stress you out and cause you to lose enjoyment for food. When food becomes something that is a threat to your health or your weight, we need to change course on the mode of thinking you are in. Many times, ketogenic diets are something that our patients have experimented with. Whether it is cyclic ketogenic diets where you may go low-carb for a few days, followed by a period of adding more carbs back in, or if it is something that you stick with long term, this dietary approach can be a miracle, but for the right person at the right time. We discuss that if you have adrenal fatigue, you may not be a good candidate for a ketogenic approach for the time being. After you heal the adrenal dysfunction, it can be something to incorporate later for weight loss, cognitive function and more. Lastly, we discuss a story about a new patient that paid a large sum of money to a naturopathic doctor that told her to eat peppers for the nutrients in them, even though she has Hashimotos Thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid condition. Since we know that nightshades can be a problem for autoimmune disease, I don't ever advise this for my patients, and I told her that it may be a good idea to reevaluate this relationship with the practitioner. The last thing I want is for someone to keep working with someone if they are not comfortable with the advice that their practitioner is giving them. If you would like to discuss your health goals and symptoms, you are welcome to schedule a 15 minute free consult via phone or Skype right here. http://notjustpaleo.com/free-health-consultation/

Order your at-home stool test here: http://bit.ly/1VdaQQn Get your free health consultation here: http://bit.ly/consult15 Today we discuss My Stool Test Results. We found not one, but two parasites, cryptosporidium and giardia. I also ran an organic acids test as well that shows that I have some candida issues going on with the infections. Today Dr. Justin and I talk about why we rely on functional medicine testing as opposed to the conventional stool tests that mainstream medical doctors run to look at stool. Most of the time these conventional tests will show up negative for parasites. If you run a functional stool test on yourself, we may discover a parasite or other type of pathogen that is causing the various symptoms in your intestinal tract. The real thing that is odd here is that my symptoms of infection were minimal. I lost weight, I have vertical ridges on my fingernails and had some fatigue, but nothing out of the ordinary. Cold hands and feet were another symptom that I've had for as long as I can remember. Now to treat these infections, we are using an herbal protocol that will act as a natural anti-parasitic and anti-microbial. The conventional M.D.s will use antibiotics that can treat these infections, but there can be a lot of side effects that come along with these. I have seen patients that have gone though a round of antibiotics that still have infections. So we absolutely want to follow up with the herbs after antibiotics with patients if they do use these, because there can be lasting side effects we want to resolve. After using garlic, oregano oil along with wormwood and black walnut, among other families of herbs, we will be adding in binding support and liver support to make sure that the die off reactions are covered. I will be using activated charcoal and will be monitoring my liver enzymes throughout this protocol to keep an eye on any potential effects. The only way that you know you're clear of these infections is to run a test. I advise you to get tested sooner than later. It's important to run tests on your body systems each year to be proactive about your health. It can save you from chronic illness later down the road.

Free Health Consultation: http://notjustpaleo.com/free-health-consultation/ Today we are talking with Justin Keitzman who is a documentary filmmaker looking to fund a kickstarter campaign called Herd - Saving The American Buffalo, which is a feature-length documentary. Justin and his partner are passionate about the bison slaughter that happens each year at Yellowstone National Park. He was invited to the ''media day'' where he was driven in a bus along with other videographers and media outlets to observe the bison roundup process where park workers rounded up the bison into a maze contraption where they can squeeze the bison into an immobile state to take blood samples. Justin mentioned that while he was there trying to film, they were forced to stay in the bus and were expected to film through a glass window, while facing the sun, an intentional process to hide the full view of the event in the Stephens Creek bison trap in Yellowstone. He mentioned that young bison, presumably first year of life bison, among pregnant female bisons were also being rounded up to be carted away and slaughtered the next day. The goal and intention of this podcast is to shed more light on this issue, help Justin with your contributions to the project and fund the Kickstarter campaign so that the documentary quality can be significantly improved. The senseless slaughter of these sacred animals to make the state of Montana and its ranchers happy is absurd. The Bureau of Land Management is behind this operation as well since they allow cows to graze on public lands that should be exclusively used for park space and native habitat for animals that actually belong there. Thanks for your support and allowing me to diverge from the usual podcast topics in the clinic to bring light to this issue. I hope you will visit the Kickstarter's website here and contribute, even 5 dollars to help fund this documentary!

FREE HEALTH CONSULTATION: www.paleo.genbook.com Today's podcast is an episode that was originally recorded on Tony Wrighton's Zestology. We discuss stress and how your cortisol rhythm changes throughout the day. Most people think that cortisol is evil and that it's what causes their belly fat and if they can just get rid of their high cortisol, they will feel magical. The truth is that many people have low cortisol when we run an Adrenal Stress Profile test on them and that LOW cortisol is the real issue that causes their symptoms of fatigue. Initially, people thrive with the onset of stress. The new job or stressful situation such as moving into a new city can cause people to feel alive temporarily. Eventually the endorphin and cortisol high wears off and people begin to progress into deeper stages of adrenal fatigue. There are several supplements including Vitamin C Tonic that I use personally and have my clients take to support adrenal and immune health. These are the small baby steps that can tend to push people in the direction of healing. We also discuss lifestyle measures and how important it is to remove negative people from your life. If you feel drained after spending time with someone, it's not always true, but it could be that this person is toxic to you and that you need to distance yourself from them. It's hard when the people you love the most are the ones that bring you down, but I encourage you to limit the dosage of negativity you are exposed to from all sources. If you take this one lesson from today's podcast, you will improve your health. It's not how many things you need in life to bring you up, but rather how many negative sources of energy are bringing you down. Enjoy this episode and if you are ready to schedule your 15 minute free call with me to discuss your health symptoms and goals, you can do that right here. Paleo.genbook.com

http://notjustpaleo.com/free-health-consultation/ Mike Mease is the co-founder of Buffalo Field Campaign, an organization dedicated to supporting the proper treatment and life for the last genetically-pure, wild and free-roaming bison herd in the Yellowstone area to prosper. Each year, due to an agreement with the state of Montana and the National Park Service, hundreds of buffalo, or bison, are rounded up each year for slaughter to keep the population down. The livestock industry and ranchers are at the root of this issue because free roaming bison on the public lands where cattle graze would create competition for grass and supposedly create other issues such as a disease transmission which has never been proven. Listen in as we discuss this nearly 20 year long battle to stop the annual slaughter of bison and what we can do to help change the tide in federal funding and allow these animals to roam freely once again.
