When people ask who has the greatest experience with working with the people on a low carb diet, there is only one answer. That’s Dr. Eric Westman. He was only person to actually conduct studies on the approach and methods that Dr. Robert Atkins employed to treat people with a low carb diet...that resulted incredibly reproducible outcomes. At a time when dietary recommendations by physicians was low fat Dr. Westman was looking in the opposite direct to change peoples health status.   Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

Catch your breath from part one and get ready to be introduced to the larger context of treating cancer 'as a metabolic disease' and how essential a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet is to achieving a return to health, creating healthy cells from cancerous ones...a return to “the society of cells” as Dr. Seyfried says. Is it possible? You bet.   Links: Efficacy of Metabolically Supported Chemotherapy Combined with Ketogenic Diet, Hyperthermia, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Stage IV Triple-Negative Breast Cancer -pulse: a novel therapeutic strategy for the metabolic management of cancer Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

From Vietnam To The Cutting Edge of Cancer Research …   Fighting To Save People's Lives In a Different War 50 years later. In this episode, the first part of the interview with Dr. Seyfried. Tom mentioned briefly that he spent a year in Vietnam as part of the 1st Calvary Division...The 1st Cavalry Division is one of the most decorated combat divisions of the United States Army and had some of the highest casualty rates of the entire Vietnam War. As he calmly puts it: '...From firebase to the jungle’ is where he spent his time. It is no stretch of the imagination to say he sees himself in an entirely different kind of war…with an even higher 'body count’ then in Vietnam…  'of over 1,600 people dying of cancer each day’ in the US.  The 1st Calvary Division where Tom Served in Vietnam Some of Dr. Seyfried’s recent studieshttps://assets.cureus.com/uploads/case_report/pdf/7528/1537793153-20180924-2883-1b1g41d.pdf Press-pulse: a novel therapeutic strategy for the metabolic management of cancerOn

The Shot heard round the world. “… the origin of carcinogenesis resides with the mitochondria in the cytoplasm, not the with the genome in the Nucleus.”Researchers have transplanted the nucleus (it’s DNA) of a cancer cell into a healthy cell that had its nucleus removed. When that new combined cell with healthy cytoplasm and mitochondria but DNA from the cancer was injected into mice no cancer developed. But when the cancer cell with the nucleus of a healthy cell was injected into mice, those mice developed cancer. No one saw this coming or dared to predict such an outcome. It is evidence that the promoter of cancer was not the ‘cancerous DNA’ genes of the cancer cells, but the mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the cancer cells. This event, repeated many time since, invalidates the assumption upon which cancer treatment is based today. Books: Cancer As A Metabolic Disease, Hardcover Tripping Over The Truth Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

"Bottom line: where are tumor cells getting their energy from?" This is the entire focus of "Cancer as Metabolic Disease" and Dr. Seyfried’s work. His years of research have lead him to what many of us believe is an incredible breakthrough in treating cancer based on metabolism (what is the source of energy for tumors) and then how to starve the tumor of these fuels, killing the cancer but not the patient. Absolutely key to this therapeutic approach is a calorie restricted Ketogenic Diet. Listen in as we cover some of the concepts in detail so that when you do listen to the interview you won’t get lost or distracted by the terminology or concepts being discussed. Show Links:  Somatic Mutation Theory - Why it's Wrong for Most Cancers.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27160408 Otto Warburg On The Prime Cause & Prevention of Cancer: Respiration of Oxygen in Normal Body Cells vs. Fermentation of Sugar in Cancer Cells    https://www.aqua-angels.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Warbu

Thomas Seyfried is one of a couple of people in the world whom have challenged the medical establishment over the past 20 years. Presented with a higher, more provable truth of how to manage cancer which is now being carried out at a few places out side of the US. His focus, explanation, hypothesis is that cancer is a “metabolic Disease” as opposed to a genetic Disease. That means that understanding how a cancer acquires it fuel (source of energy) and blocking that is a far, far more effective method of treating cancer.  We will spend two podcasts on offering  a broader understanding of what this means through detailing and explaining some of the references, concepts and references he uses. This will allow all of us to more thoroughly understand and appreciate his interview at the end of November.  Show Links:  The Glucose / ketone Index    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4367849/bin/12986_2015_9_MOESM1_ESM.xlsx   Press-pulse: a novel therapeutic strategy for the metabolic management of cancer  h

What to do at a wedding…An Italian wedding! If you’re keto. People watching is inevitable at weddings, there’s all types, but at an Italian wedding there are many heavy people. It's a reminder that Keto is not known to many. It gets personal, in that you see people that you've seen through years at the other family events that are not doing so well…and you know you could help them with just a few words. Yet the larger reality is that some things are better left unsaid.Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

Thought you knew fasting? Lets’s talk. There’s now a variety of fasts, water fasts, bone broth fast, Fasting Mimicking Diet, Protein Sparing Fasts…Now, we’ve learned that fasting could possibly reverse completely or at least improve autoimmune conditions like MS due to a drop in IGF-1 during the fast and then returning to normal…Interesting stuff for sure.Show Links: A Diet Mimicking Fasting Promotes Regeneration and Reduces Autoimmunity and Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/abstract/S2211-12471630576-9 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27239035Does the Fasting Mimicking Diet Live Up to the Hype? https://www.marksdailyapple.com/does-the-fasting-mimicking-diet-live-up-to-the-hype/Fasting-mimicking diet shows promise against MS https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/310597.phpBuy C8Keto MCT Oil on AmazonOur Facebook Group Keto NaturopathUntil next time, Dr. Karl

As remarkable as ketones are in incredibly improving Parkinson’s disease, it’s best to avoid it in the first place. Listen in and find out how.

Since everyone has a sweet-tooth to some extent, knowing what each sweetener actually is, its effectiveness, side effects, and which are known toxins is important to know. This is a first in a series on artificial sweeteners and ‘natural’ sweeteners commonly used. We’ll cover why some are considered toxic,what problems with some of the others are, and which are considered safe and possibly useful. The list we’ll cover list in the order of usability. BestDon’t use any sweetener at all. While on keto your desire for sweet food will diminish and the fewer you have the faster you will reach that point. Some sweeteners are know to spike your insulin...without increasing your glucose...so thinking it through on why you want to use a particular sweetener a head of time my change your desire of needing a sweetener at all. If you have toSteviaXylitol (be careful around your pets, especially dogs) Haven’t tried but have read good things about this.Allulose Safe but questionsMonk fruit Got issues with…Sugar alcoholsEryt

Female infertility is a heart breaking condition for many couples.  Long before a woman or a couple decide they need to see a reproductive endocrinologist they should look at the underlying cause, which for most women is insulin resistance. If you take care of that, something that the Ketogenic way of life is tremendously effective with, then you may not need further medical intervention. Join me in this discussion of PSCOS in Women and what to do about it, and its parallel condition in men.   Show links/Citations:Role of hyperinsulinemia in the pathogenesis of the polycystic ovary syndrome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9165656  Myo-inositol effects in women with PCOS: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29042448  Review Metformin and troglitazone in the treatment of female infertility associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21105563  High-Fat, High-Sugar Diet Disrupts the Preovulatory Hormone Surge and Induces

The Ketogenic diet creates so many benefits for various conditions, and yet those benefits can be increased by using the right kinds of fats along some knowledge of nutrigenomics. Listen to this deeper dive into understanding why some fats are more important than others in the conditions of bipolar and autism along with knowing a little about your gene - nutrient interaction.

Little do most people know that they are directly contributing to the destruction of the “lungs of the earth” (the most sensitive ecosystems in the world, the Rainforest) by using products that contain non-RSPO palm oil. That is non-sustainably harvested palm oil. Listen to this interview with the U.S. Outreach Representative for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.This is perhaps the most important interview I’ve done because it will directly inform you about how your specific product purchases are contributing to Rainforest destruction globally and contributing to the demand for Non-RSPO certified palm oil products.Long ago we decided to commit to having our C8 Keto MCT Oil product RSPO Certified . Now you'll know why this is so incredibly important. Our hope is that we begin to ‘set the bar higher’ in terms of encouraging other companies to convert their products, or the ingredients in their product to RSPO-certified palm oil ingredients…and consequently halt the massive destruction of a remarkable
