Yes, it can certainly be a ‘rabbit hole’ of what appears to be minutia of information. Yet if you don’t get stuck interpreting every SNP (single nuclear polymorphism) and stand back just a little to see a bigger picture some of this information can be not only useful but some you can actually act on. Before you delve into attempting to analyze your…

This podcast takes a different approach to laying out what we now know about the anthropological facts about our diet by introducing you to the people who have been part of putting the pieces together for us. I’ll recap and reference the speakers that opened my eyes as to what we can claim historically. I encourage you to follow up on the link refe…

As an interruption to what I had intended to present for this podcast I decided that I needed to respond to some ‘mis-information’ regarding DAIRY. Hope this won’t offend you. My clinical experience over 16 years disagrees with what I would consider a very incomplete review about the health concerns of dairy. ——————————— OUR COURSE —————————— PSMF …

Often when we talk about what is the appropriate diet for ourselves we refer to our evolutionary past. The implication is that we should eat like our closest evolutionary ancestors... the Great Apes...but that is completely different from how we eat now. By comparing the ‘gut’ of 70 different mammalian species, we are most aligned with the dog (‘ma…

So which is it? The length of our small intestines or the shortness of our colon that shows that our gastro-intestinal tract is most like carnivores. Or is how our stomach is laid out?

Cats are obligate carnivores. Pure and simple. Understanding it and implementing it taught a lot. In learning about non-obese diabetes in cats we discover a lot about our own diet as well.

There is so much noise and intentional misinformation around keto, low carb, carnivore that people quit before they even start. How my past has lead to creating the safest most efficient method for long term weight loss has meant learning to recognize intentionally misleading information and go around it. Based on labs, data tracking, and the addic…

Just when we thought we had it all planned out perfectly, things go wrong that you didn’t anticipate. We had many successes but it is amazing how for some it wasn’t specific enough and for others, they just cruised on for the easy win. I go over the shortcoming and history of the PSMF.

Part II of the debate brings up a number of related issues about protein and blood sugar. I was a surprise that we covered so many different topics, processed foods, addiction to carbs, addiction in general, and some of the causes for this.

What started as a disagreement between Dr. Rob Cywes and myself about whether protein when eaten ‘turns to sugar (glucose) in your blood stream' grew into an academic debate. Doug Reynolds thought this would be a great podcast. Here is that podcast in two parts with a brief intro about what the heart of the issue is all about. As a way of further s…

It’s important to ‘remember where you came from’ as the saying goes. In our case, it’s a very short step back in time to re-experience how our health incinerated around us from colossal personal loss of everything we worked for, coupled with a grim diagnosis of my wife's brain tumor, and loss of my only brother, and mother. It all exceeded my abili…

As a ‘culture’ we have become not only hooked on carbohydrates but on process foods specifically. This has Hacked our metabolism and created an epidemic of obesity and diabetes that is already at 40% of the population in some states (W. Virginia and Mississippi). The inevitable result, is that to mitigate all of the resulting metabolic problems med…

Knowing the action you can take for or to prevent MCI or Alzheimers or dementia is one. But hearing it from a top researchers presentation puts it in an entirely different context.

Most of us have some idea what dementia is. Though we toss the word ‘demented’ around as a put down, Dementia, and Alzheimers experienced up close is difficult to witness. In part why it is so difficult to watch others go through the decline is because much of it can be avoided entirely by adopting a Low Carb High Fat Ketogenic diet. If there was o…

A key sign of an addict is the craving for their addictive substance or need for a "fix". A food fix, like any drug fix, is an attempt to experience the dopamine high needed by any addict. Food addiction, more specifically, Processed Food Addiction is no different than other addictions in the sense of they are looking for a dopamine high. Come list…

At a population level, male testosterone levels and reproductive health are plummeting at a precipitous rate. These changes cannot be accounted for solely by comorbid (associated) conditions such as metabolic syndrome. Other factors are the dramatic and damaging effects of endocrine disruptors.

It’s just an old 'wive’s tale’ so you thought. The fact that if you have a bacterial infection fasting (being in ketosis) might just save your life.

This sounds pretty esoteric...Oxidative Priority...But it really means the order in which your body (you metabolism) must burn it’s fuel. Alcohol is number one.

It’s been at least 9 years since we began our journey on the Ketogenic diet. Learned a lot that I didn’t know when we started and the technology has most certainly changed as well. Put both of those together and it is an entirely different world in which to start Keto. I think you’ll get some insight bits of actionable recommendations when you list…

I’ve always thought that what the world is sorely in need of today is critical thinkers. Now I realized it is not that they are not there, it is that their perspectives have been kept from the mainstream due to their ideas being perceived as a threat to some ginormous corporate interest that has kept it out of the headlines. This is such a story th…

The question I keep asking myself is why is it we always hear about that some people can’t or don’t get positive results with a Ketogenic diet (aka Low Carb High Fat). Whether it is the Virta Health study or any one of various Obesity and Lifestyle Clinics around the country. It is pretty much common knowledge that about 50 % will get positive resu…

There’s two concepts that drive my passion for learning about and helping people implement the ‘Keto’ life style, and those are: 1. In order to be healthy in a progressively unhealthy world we need to think and act differently, and2. In order help people regain their health ( weight loss in this instance) one needs to look where where others haven’…

For some, this is the long a waited topic, conversation, that many feel represents their experience most accurately. It's for the people who have endured the often unnecessary work of getting started with the Ketogenic diet only to have it become a thoroughly frustrating time and effort.

Not everyone is ‘on the same page' regarding some topics in the Ketogenic diet community. This podcast is about some of those issues. On some of those topics, they have made me reconsider what my perspective is, and frankly, now I no longer think as I did.

This is the final installment on our interview with Dr. Joan Ifland, on what is and how to deal with the Addiction to Processed Foods. This is perhaps the most important issue in health care, rather self health care. Now that we collectively are entering an era where our health is determined by our dietary choice it is incredibly important to be aw…

Perhaps now you have your eyebrows raised a bit from what was discussed in part one of the interview with Dr. Ifland, where we covered the nature of addiction the evolution of processed foods in today’s culture. You now know the consequences of blindly letting yourself or your family reach for another bag of doritos, or cheese puffs. Now the questi…

Perhaps there’s no more avoided topic in the entire field of dietary nutrition than “Processed Food Addiction”. The reason it is NOT discussed is because ‘processed foods’ is a vast, complicated, and for the most part, hidden and disguised as to not be easily identified to the consumer. To add to that, the concept of addiction is something we have …

What does process food addiction have to do with the Ketogenic Diet? Initially the answer is by dropping the carbs you drop a lot of processed food, usually, in the process. However, for many, it's not that easy...as with most additions...‘Just saying no’ doesn’t always lead to stopping the behavior that we are addicted to. This topic explores the …
