In the late 80s, vegan or even vegetarian registered dieticians were impossible to find … until Brenda Davis made the transition.
Finding herself alone, without even the resources to back up her work as a vegan dietician, she considered changing careers. But instead, she found the courage to speak her truth and make a difference.
Davis is now regarded as the “Godmother” of vegan dieticians, and is an author and internationally acclaimed public speaker.

The importance of supplementing a vegan diet with B12
Why some people who make the transition to veganism feel worse, and how to transition properly in order to avoid this
The incredible health benefits of eating primarily or entirely plant-based
Davis dives into the details of what it means to be vegan, and how to do it the right way. She also shares insights from a comparative study following cohorts of plant-based eaters from Taiwan, the US, and the UK.

The link between a keto diet and weight loss is very well known, but can this approach to nutrition really be used to heal chronic disease? Dr. David Jockers believes it can. David is functional nutrition counselor, popular guest on The Dr. Oz Show, and the author of Keto Metabolic Breakthrough and The Fasting Transformation. His natural health website receives over a million views per month from people curious about keto and natural health.

The importance of herbal medicine and other natural health tips
How women can use functional nutrition training to work with their natural hormone cycles
After suffering from severe irritable bowel syndrome to the point of becoming quite underweight for his height, David began to experiment with adhering to a ketogenic diet. After receiving a skin cancer diagnosis, he got even more serious about tackling the issue of nutrition.
The results of these personal experiments not only changed his life; they continue to change the lives of the people he educates every day.
What do inexpensive cooking oils, pesticides, and factory farmed meat have in common? They all cause inflammation and inflammation causes chronic diseases, like cancer. According to Dr. Jockers, cancer cells thrive when they are feeding on glucose. When we eat carbohydrates, those carbs are converted into glucose, which feeds cancer cells.
Removing carbohydrates and feeding our healthy cells with ketones means starvation for cancer.
Cancer is not the only ailment that may need to look out for the keto approach to nutrition.
Stress is at an all-time high throughout the world today and it can take a major toll on a person’s digestive health. A ketogenic diet in combination with a healthy exercise routine and natural herbal supplementation can promote bile flow and a healthy environment within the stomach, without using commonly prescribed acid bocking medications.

Curious about an effective keto diet plan? Then you might be one of the one billion Ben Azadi has been trying to reach. Listen in as he shares years of experience and the finer points of Ketogenic diet side effects and health benefits.
Why the type of fat you consume affects inflammation levels,
Why looking at lab work may be better inspiration than the numbers on the scale, and
What are nutrition basics and feedback methods, including the types of ketones and how should you test for them.
Ben Azadi is founder of Keto Kamp and an expert on the ketogenic diet meal plan.
He’s also a health coach and personal trainer.
He brings these together to help clients focus on the best practice for integrating the ketogenic diet food list, intermittent fasting, and healthful choices along the way.
His fascination with the approach started after his own struggles with weight that lead to a dramatic weight loss that left him as one of those “fit sick people” who only focused on weight loss. He spent every available minute researching and learned enough to transform his health through a well-balanced approach to the ketogenic life.
He now wants to help others get to the same place and shares several suggestions for listeners, including common mistakes that can sabotage success. For example, he talks about the importance of transitioning slowly to the diet rather than an extreme approach that often leads to failure. He addresses how to ease into intermittent fasting so it’s not like trying to marathon without any training.
He also explains some key considerations such as appropriate and helpful lab work, means of assessing how your body is doing, and the importance of understanding electrolytes and the roll of “bitter” foods in liver function. If you are curious about the ketogenic approach and want to get a fuller picture, this conversation fits the bill.

How to get out of fight or flight mode and back into a state of “rest and digest”
The role of intuition in intermittent fasting
Dr. Cole looks beyond simple numbers and lab results in order to treat the whole patient and not just their current symptoms. His natural and holistic approach often utilizes functional medicine nutrition, intuitive eating intermittent fasting, and a hormonal imbalance diet. Understanding autoimmune thyroid disease, for example, and which foods can prompt the body to produce its own thyroid hormones can avoid unnecessary dependence on medications and highlight the importance of lifestyle in disease treatment.
Intuitively intermittent fasting combined with a mostly plant based high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate diet has been shown to support the metabolic process and protect against insulin resistance and digestive problems symptoms. Dr. Cole’s four-week plan makes the benefits of fasting and eating a plant based ketogenic diet accessible to beginners who may want to treat specific issues, improve their overall health, or both. Embracing functional medicine education can provide those suffering from chronic illness with a way to take their health and their personal power back into their own hands.
