This is the primary distinction between having a brain driven by the need for more dopamine or one that is functioning happily on serotonin. These two very different neurotransmitters predispose your brain to developing specific behavioral styles. One leads to progressive brain damage driven by the always immediate need for more...Dopamine...in others words an addictive personality, and addict. Th...

 It is easy to be passionate about something new like the ‘ketogenic’ diet...as "Keto Newbie" Brain was some two years ago. But what happens after that...Does the new discovering continue to change his life as it did earlier?? Listen in on what has happen to him in the interim and his plans of going ‘carnivore’ with doing some testing before and after.  Buy C8Keto MCT Oil on Amazon Our F...

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 setting up the topic I spliced in a portion o...

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 ability to cope. I crumbled into (what I was told...

 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 medication after medication are used which results i...

 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. Some selected ‘out-takes’ of Dr. Stephen Cunnane’s talks and then discussed to make sure you understand the importance and immediacy of what he’s presenting. I so value the work of this person and he’s a joy to listen...

Another front page story from a national newspaper...The Boston Globe...Provides a first hand story of a mother and wife told from the perspective of her husband and high school sweet heart. I share this story for the same reason as the last story I did. That one from the New York Times. There is much you can do to support. To increase the likelihood of improvement in a person. Please see this as...

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 one specific condition that is most improved by ket...

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 listen to how it has been established tha...

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. Toxins such as phthalates, BPA, atrazine, phytoestrogens, and birth control have polluted our food, wat...

Continuing the discussion from the last podcast of low testosterone in men and some lifestyle and supplemental recommendations. The number of cases of below normal range of testosterone in men of all ages is unprecedented today. This is no longer an issue that only a few people have had deal with. Rather it has become far more common...And problematic then ever imaged. Here are some ideas to be aw...

Low testosterone isn’t something that just happens to men...Of course getting older is a reason for everything to decline...But guess what??? It really doesn’t have to be. This is especially true about testosterone for Men. First off...Lets understand how this happened. The number one killer for men’s testosterone level is completely in your control to do something about it, and that’s Insulin. Le...

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. On the other hand, if you have a viral (flu) infection you might want to have a good meal. Learn How auto-phagy and being on a low carb high fat ketogenic diet will probably mean you get far fewer colds & flus then ever before. Clearly someth...

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 must be burned off because it can't be stored...But when you are ‘burning your alcohol’ you are NOT burning anything else...Your carbs are being stored immediately. This will be a fascinating understanding of why you blood glucose...

My wife did this first…It was interesting how it changed the nature of our conversations about blood glucose in our lives. Then I did mine. Yes, it does appeal to that narcissistic self interest…But boy did I learn a lot more than I ever thought I would. And then there are the readings from other people….This opens a new door in understanding the what my be the ‘root cause’ for some many disorders...

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.

This episode is about responding to specific questions sent in from a listener in London.  The questions are thoughtful, well organized, and probably some of the ones many people have been thinking about for a while.

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 that will definitely affect you personally. If you k...

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 results, which usually mean weight loss or reversing d...

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’t looked in order to see, to understand, what othe...

Andres Rosales who is calling via Zoom from his hometown in Mexico about how I use the Ketogenic diet for various conditions. His questions are determined, articulate, and well thought out. These are really the questions most researchers are asking, or people beginning to take the low carb high fat diet seriously, physicians included. Join in talking about the How and why ‘Keto’ can be so life cha...

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...

 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. Listen in and maybe you too will reconsider some of your previous assumptions about the Ketogenic diet. Lets Talk! drgoldkamp@ketonaturopat...
