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 aware of the ‘engineering’ of our food into great tasting junk devoid of nutrition. Th... Read more

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 question remains what is inherently dangerous about them and how to ‘De-process food’ our d... Read more

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 a difficult time believing applies to us personally because it implies we can’t contr... Read more

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 advent of the industrialization of processed foods that started in the late 1980 with... Read more

Dr. Goldkamp comes back for a sequel to his initial interview to go deeper on the details of how he’s implementing Keto. C8 Keto MCT Oil: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR2CYRS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_7gFICbCS03CSH Our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/ 

That “cocktail of medications” used for treating behavioral disorders have their side effects as anyone who knows of someone using them would know...some with horrible side effects. Dr. Christopher Palmer, Psychiatrist at Harvard, has been using the Ketogenic Diet as a way to avoid all of that. His story is absolutely jaw-dropping. In this interview he will talk how a “metabolic” intervention might well be a miraculous alternative ... Read more

I’m hoping you haven’t caught your breath yet from the first part of the interview where you learned of Dr. Palmer’s first exposure to the Atkins diet and how that changed his life and his father’s life. Now in part II, he delves deeper into the connection between Mental Disorders (Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Depression, Dementia, as examples) and metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity, Cardio-vascular disorders, as examples). Think of... Read more

Brace yourselves for part 1 of a spectacular interview with a person who, in my view, is bringing Keto to places no one ever thought possible...Behavioral disorders. Then again, as Dr. Palmer points out the ketogenic diet was originally developed specifically for a behavioral disorder in the first place: Epilepsy.   Take my word for it. You will love this interview...And will most definitely complain that you’ll have to wait an ent... Read more

To think most people only think the Ketogenic diet is about weight loss...so far from the truth. Nearly 100 years ago the ketogenic diet was created for a neurological disorder: epilepsy. Now 100 years later much of what works for epilepsy works for behavioral disorders as well. Makes Sense. To think though that a ‘dietary’ approach could work for Schizophrenia, Bi-polar, ADHD, Autism, Obsessive - compulsive disorders as well, is r... Read more

We have been developing a comprehensive Keto Coaching Program to address the what we haven’t been able to address in our previous programs. This is a brief explanation about how our next coaching program will go much deeper. We will look at areas that are seldom examined, like nutritional deficiencies, hormones, various labs that are often missed, genetic SNPs (search for potentially troublesome mutations that can be addressed) and...

Picking up where Dr. Cunnane left off in part one, we get into other aspects of ketones and what we know about them specifically, brain health, and how the brain’s ability to use ketones as a fuel does not diminish with age. Rather, it is our ability to use glucose as a fuel decreases. Due to the decreasing effectiveness of the insulin to get the glucose into the brain. Sometimes referred to as insulin resistance. The great news is... Read more

The are very, very few people such as Dr. Stephen Cunnane that have done so much work on ‘brain health’ with aging. Though he states others have come before him that have pointed to use of Ketones as an ‘alternative’ fuel for the brain, it is Dr. Cunnane’s work on the ‘Keto-Pet Scan’ that showed just how vital it is. To Many, the work of Dr. Cunnane offers incredible hope in how to restore brain function in those with MCI, mild cog... Read more

Dr. Stephen Cunnane’s work, his life work, has been very influential in how we understand brain health today. More specifically, how we can improve MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and Alzheimer Disease through the use of a Ketogenic diet or consuming highly ketogenic saturated fats or even exogenous ketones. This is a brief background on his work, why it so very significant today, and something you can use.   Links:  Dr. Cunnane’s ... Read more

Going deeper in the discussion with Dr. Westman of the conditions that are improved with Keto. Also looking into the future with the idea of an entirely new discipline of medicine developing: "Keto Medicine” and what and why this is something very different than anything that has previously existed. Did you know that there is something that Dr. Westman no longer believes is true in terms of medicine because of his vast experience w... Read more

This is a rare opportunity to go deeper on the Ketogenic Diet with someone who has been using it for many different conditions. Even though his practice is outwardly focused on obesity within the Diet and Lifestyle Clinic at Duke  University, many other conditions are referred to his practice exclusively to have people learn about and how to implement the Ketogenic Diet due to its many health restoring attributes. Having witnessed ... Read more

Dr. Westman Is the physician who has treated the most patients with the Ketogenic diet.  Having seen what he has does in his Lifestyle Clinic at Duke University, his work is nothing short of remarkable.

This is a podcast devoted entirely to going deep into what exactly C8 triglyceride is, why you would, and how you should use it.

This is a much overlooked fat to add to your ketogenic diet. Whether it’s for weight loss, energy, or athletic performance C8... Read more

This is a quick summary of the major point, and the important points, that Dr. Ben Bocchicchio presented.  I did this quick podcast to make sure the basics were understood and could be implemented by everyone. Dr. Ben Bocchicchio was WAAAAY a head of the others. At a time when Aerobics were all the range Dr. Ben was changing lives both in the hospital and in the gym.   Hope you enjoy this. Got questions…. Send them in. We got answ... Read more

A tad dramatic?...Absolutely not at all. Driven by a need for few more guaranteed breaths of life. Two almost terminal conditions resolved by doing something unimaginable from their experience. I was interviewed by a radio station (naturopathic content program) to disclose why we are so driven and passionate about the Ketogenic diet or way of living. This is our story. A candid open disclosure, which has apparently received a lot o... Read more
