Today we’re talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet. The popular (mis)perception of keto We hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do.

THE most common question sent into me is about weight loss, more accurately fat loss. My short answer to the is a month focused on a protein sparing fast. We've developed the most comprehensive method to do this anywhere. we call it Precision PSMF with omega balancing.  I believe it is the closest we can get to our ancestral diet we have ever been.  On this podcast I delve into the reason why...

High Purines food are potentially a very uncomfortable problem for many of us. Directly associated elevated uric acid and from there to an array of painful medical conditions ranging from gout to various neurological conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's. So what the heck are 'high purine foods' and what is the problem with them. Let's talk!

For all of us on Keto, we have come to appreciate saturated fats if not love them. However in the context of other factors such as your omega 6/3 ratio, that possible combination could affect your very negatively as measured with your Uric acid levels. Time to review this context in light of this bigger picture. —————————COME SAY HI!!!  —————————— Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episode...

If there was a topic no one wants to talk about in regards to 'Keto' it has to be about Gout. If you're going to open up that topic than you also have to talk about the lab test Uric Acid. Then it does become a 'gnarly' issue to discuss.  Let's get into it whether you Gout or not you most certain need to know about Uric Acid if you are consider Keto or carnivore or no...

Most people don't hear of the dramatic effects a ketogenic lifestyle provides to your microbiome, you gut health.  I came to Keto through my personal research back in 2012 looking for something to help my own gut health crisis of UC and crohns. I was curious if the 'butyrate' that was produced in ketosis was similar to the butyrate that is the 'prefered fuel' for the large...

On the face of it that sounds negative. Not at all. I view low carb (nutritional keto) as a requirement for health yet over 50 percent of people who seek professional medical guidance for implementing this specific way of dietary life DO NOT perceive  any benefit. No weight loss, no metal clarity, nada.  Therefore, having know this for the last 4 years I've been wondering, investigation why t...

I know it is difficult to know what is true and accurate information from what is professional marketing hype.  This podcast is about a very special application of using saturated fats to support metabolic decline in not only so many conditions and disorders but for yourself personally to sharpen your mind and mental capabilities. —————————COME SAY HI!!!  —————————— Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout...

Is there anything worse than 'losing your mind' or rather your cognitive ability, or worse yet to watch someone else lose theirs that you care about like your spouse or parents or grandparents.  There is something you can do and it IS worth knowing about. —————————COME SAY HI!!!  —————————— Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episodes Facebook Group about Keto:  https://www.facebo...

Uric acid is a vital,  yet to many insignificant, lab to have done... specially if you are on keto or con It can reveal the degree you are inclined to soon be intense pain with a gout attack, the degree you are inclined to become or are Bi-polar, the degree you are or inclined to become diabetic or pre-diabetic. In short you need to know what this lab is, how to use it, and what it may reveal for...

Let's be real blunt here: Can eating liver kill you.  Is it Toxic??? Seriously, that is the view today among nutritional counselors and dieticians. Are they wrong ? It is an easy fear-based accusation to make because everything 'can be toxic' it always about the dose, the amount you consume over time ... of anything. Let's discuss why this hysteria is more damaging advice then...

After nearly 8 years of  living as a life style with the ketogenic diet, I have a recommendation on how to improve your results for both mental acuity and fat lose: add food high in choline which are complete compatible with a ketogenic diet. They are primarily liver and egg yolks. Listen to why that might be something you would want to try. —————————COME SAY HI!!!  —————————— Podcast: https://www...

After 8 years of being, and staying  on a ketogenic diet, I speculate as to the benefits of keto seen through the eyes of one's personal deficiency. In other words, are the benefits of being on a ketogenic diet greatest for those who were most deprive of, or deficient in, ketones in general.  It is a great question to ask and explore. It values metabolic transition that 'going keto &apos...

It's harsh to consider that such an event could well ensure globally for some many.  It's not the 'how to improve your health' kind of information that is easy to discuss, yet it is completely likely according to the Health Agencies that work with indigenous peoples world wide. This begs the urgent question of: Why is this population of people so affected by processed foods, an...

I bet you thought it was ENTIRELY about the carbs you were eating that were responsible for your weight gain, or slide into mild cognitive impairment. Well, you're not entirely wrong, however, having lots of carbs puts an increased demand on your ability use and produce choline. High carbs are one of the reasons for the choline deficiency, the other reason is that some people 25 - 40+ percent...

This has been asked for often, that is what can I expect to happen with my labs when I start 'keto'.  That is a very broad question, so I have ignored in favor of a more specific narrower topic. However, it is time to take a shot at creating an overview of what one can expect to happen with their labs. One central theme to this answer is so so much depends on where (ie what metabolic sta...

This podcast 's topic is one of my most important in revealing what is blocking most of us metabolically from achieving success with a ketogenic diet and why. —————————COME SAY HI!!!  —————————— Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episodes Facebook Group about Keto:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/ BLOG: https://ketonaturopath.com/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/k...

Nothing like learning of a friend's avoidable death, and seeing the devastation it creates in other people lives that were close to him. What I'm referring to is that I Lost a friend to covid these last few weeks…  just when we all thought the worst of it had past us by. Like the last soldier to die in a war after the end of the hostilities, but before it was declared officially over. He...

In part two of this interview with Dr. Artemis Simopoulos we go deeper into understanding the omega 6/3 ratio and how to use this, and how many people and doctors don't know what this means. We talked about her focus on 'Precision Nutrition' nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics  and why those are so very important to know about. What kind of oil she puts on her salad and much, much more....

We often use the expression in research, medicine and science that we 'stand on the shoulders of  giants' which is to mean that all of what we know today was because of those bold doctors, scientists, that did the work that we now accept as true. What isn't often added is that those 'Giants', the pioneers were publicly ridiculed, and disagreed with for years before their w...

I was lucky to be able to talk to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos about her life's work on essential fatty acids and genetics. She has been the foundation for much of what we know about the importance of omega 3, and the omega 6: 3 ratio and why that is so important. She her works, of over 365 scientific papers, and having edited over 50 books in her field is evidence of her overwhelming work she has...

If you have had the privilege of ever seeing someone transform their physical appearance by doing a protein sparing modified fast, then you will be wondering, as I am. How can that be possible.  I talk about why and what happens to those people. What if they were finally getting the amount of protein they required, or was it due to all the things they were no longer consuming that were bad for the...

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. For others, this might be too ‘granular’ in terms of talking about the specific variables required to cre...

It’s been at least 6 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 listen to the story.
