[00:30] Introduction
[11:00] It’s definitely a lifestyle approach. The way I like to describe it to a lot of my clients is kind of like a pyramid. We all remember the old food pyramid where the bottom was bread and carbs and towards the top was maybe candy, but there were very little fats in there very little protein sources.
[20:00] Eating cholesterol does not raise your cholesterol. It goes back to the whole lifestyle picture. I eat whole eggs every single day for breakfast. I eat red meat, I eat a lot of foods that have cholesterol in it, but my cholesterol levels are very, very low. When we combine things like processed foods with processed sugars, and then lots of inflammatory fats like industrial seed oils, vegetable oils, all of those combined in one, those are really the enemies that we need to be aware of.
[31:00] I already was doing nutrition coaching. I was raised more on an athletic side, so I was helping with weight loss, I was helping with building muscle athletic performance. So I was already doing that. I’ve always enjoyed working with people and helping other people. But there’s something just different about helping other people improve their quality of life. Going from where they are, I’m miserable, I can’t eat anything and to be able to like eat something without feeling miserable after it. That just feels awesome to be able to help people to that extent. So I love helping people get six-pack abs and all that if that’s what they want to do. But just to truly be able to improve people’s quality of life, that’s a whole other level for me.
[42:00] A cow that’s fed grains is going to have much higher rates of omega-six fats compared to omega threes when a cow has been grass-fed. It’ll still have some omega sixes. It’s not going to have nearly the extent of a grain-fed cow. So omega sixes for people who don’t know, are pro-inflammatory fatty acids. Omega threes are anti-inflammatory. So we do need both in the body. But with typical Standard American Diet aka SAD Diet, we tend to get way more of the omega sixes that are pro-inflammatory. We are not getting enough of the omega threes that are anti-inflammatory. So we have a lot of people suffering from chronic inflammation and cholesterol issues. We are not saying that everybody needs to go outsource their cow. But they do need to pay attention, i.e. where’s your food coming from? Read the food labels, it blows my mind when people will just purchase “foods” and they did even look at what’s in the food that they’re eating.
[52:00] I can hand someone over the perfect nutrition plan and be like, if you follow this, you will get great results, you’ll be fit, you’ll feel great. But there’s often a lot more barriers than that. A lot of it goes back to mindset and motivation. Lack of confidence contributes to why can’t we follow it, it’s not always that black and white. I actually end up doing a lot more mindset counseling as well to in addition to the nutrition side of things under my Functional Medicine practices.
[54:55] Final Words

Final Words:

“You’re Worth It!”

I would say kind of going back to a lot of the things we’ve talked about is just your health. Honestly, it is well if your health is the foundation for everything and not just the way you look. And it affects everything, it affects your business, it’s going to affect your relationships with your family, it’s going to affect your confidence. If you want to reach new levels of success, and you want to really be at the top of your game with your business with your life. You need to be looking at the Foundation, you need to be looking at our diet, or exercise or hydration levels. That’s going to transpose to all areas of your life. So I would encourage people to just start with the basics, looking at their lifestyle, and building that up and going from there. So building the self-discipline and also just knowing you are enough and knowing “you’re worth it” too because I think a lot of people struggle with self-doubt, low confidence, and building up like what Andy Frisella even talks about a lot in his Podcast. Do the difficult things, the things you don’t want to do, do the things you say you’re going to do. Not only is it going to help you achieve your goals, but you’re going to build up a reputation with yourself and you’re going to be able to achieve the things that you want to. Build up that confidence!

[00:30] Introduction
[01:45] Endorsed by Dr. Christiane Northrup
[10:00] So rather than focus on what someone else is doing or not doing, let me show up more for my life. One of the first things I did is just affirm, I show up for my life. Actually giving yourself a little bit of credit is important. I think some of us who have done some of the self-focused, self-development work, maybe forget that we actually have put more focus on that. We forget to reward ourselves for that.
[21:30] It’s a tool, mindset runs strongly throughout the book. I put the book on Amazon and I got a bunch of reviews back. As I was reading through the reviews, I learned more about what the book was about, or how it affected people. There was a common thread of how they felt like the author was holding my hand and leading me through the practices, and it was easily digestible.
[33:00] This is free and you can call it like a preamp to the book, but it’s something that you can digest immediately. 12 practices, they are not all about food, a handful of them are and they’re fun. They’re out of the box and these are ways that you can get started ASAP.
[41:30] You get to do this for the rest of your life. That’s the path that you want to go down and there are lots of GI digestive issues from that metformin. That’s the biggest complaint.
[49:46] Final Words

Final Words:

Our thoughts and our beliefs invoke our actions. Our actions are what create results. So look at the results you have, look at the results you don’t have and then backtrack to your actions, what thoughts and what beliefs created those actions or left you stagnant? This is where all work, all practices begin. It’s right here and it’s not an intellectual concept. It’s a daily practice. We can think of it in terms of affirmations.

208: The FAT Emperor Ivor Cummins, #FatDoc, DNA, and more!

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Today We Finally Get to Talk Healthy Fats Science with Ivor Cummins Also Known As The Fat Emperor From Dublin Ireland:

Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP® completed a Chemical Engineering in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions, and was shortlisted in 2015 as one of the top 6 of 500 applicants for “Irish Chartered Engineer of the Year”. Ivor’s focus and specialty are leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios. He has often led worldwide teams with over 60-70 engineers working on major technical issues; the largest of these involved product issues where hundreds of millions of dollars were in the balance.

Several years ago, Ivor encountered a complex technical challenge in his personal life. Receiving poor blood test results, he was unable to get solutions via the doctors consulted. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Within eight weeks he had resolved and optimized all of his blood test metrics. Also, he had shed over 15Kg of body fat with relative ease. In the following years, he continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. In order to help stem the tide of chronic disease in our modern population, he embarked on a personal mission to share the science and solutions. He began this process by giving corporate talks and releasing them on YouTube for the wider audience. He has since become a professional speaker of note, giving many public lectures and chairing interviews with worldwide health experts. Most notably he was invited by the President of the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) to give a keynote talk on heart disease root causes, at their annual conference in London last October. All of Ivor’s public lectures and interviews are available on Ivor’s YouTube channel, where well over a million views have been recorded to date:

His book on chronic disease root causes and resolution strategies (co-authored with Denver doctor Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP) was released in the US and Canada in March 2018. It has already received around 150 reviews on Amazon, of which ~97% are 5-stars, check out Eat Rich Live Long on Amazon!

His blog and other content is available at www.thefatemperor.com

From early 2018 Ivor has been fully funded by the Irish Heart Disease Awareness charity (www.IHDA.ie). This fulfills their mission in enabling all middle-risk people to access the power of the Coronary Artery Calcification scan (CAC). He has thus ramped up his passion to help the people help themselves – in a journey to health, weight-loss, and longevity.

Ivor lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife and five children.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”02:51″] What’s a stag party and hen party in Ireland.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:20″] Scott and Ivor connect on chainsaws, farming, and more. Giant gardens, before poisons, pesticides and chemicals and all this other stuff. Ivor only remembered nitrate fertilizer which was spread on the grass. You learn as well did the value of hard work. I mean, we have to work 14 hour days sometimes bringing in that hey.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:02″] Scott shares his Irish bloodlines plus 23andme DNA analysis. Talking fatty coffee, don’t need to call it bulletproof, using Kerrygold Grass Fed Irish Butter. Ivor generally doesn’t really eat breakfast anymore but makes a French press or espresso coffee. As it happens, he’s not crazy about the butter in the coffee and the little globules. So he puts in heavy cream aka Irish double cream.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:10″] Ivor didn’t want to come across as arrogant when he created The FAT Emperor branding. But it really wasn’t the intention. It was actually one evening after I discovered all of this about that carbohydrate was much more of an issue than fats in the diet. I’d fixed my own health, my own blood markers. And I was researching intensively, cholesterol, metabolism, everything. I decided to start giving talks to the engineers and my Corporation. You know, 100 plus people explaining metabolic syndrome and all this stuff.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:36″] So yeah, it’s all just about making profit. There is no crazy guy with a cat at the top, you know, stroking a cap. Pharmaceutical corporations benefit hugely because of all the sickness that results of food industry benefits, because they can use dirt, cheap vegetable oils, and refined carbohydrates with long shelf life.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:59″] High salt being bad for you is not really true at all, it is in rare cases but the salt message it has been incorrect. Even the message of covering yourself in sunblock has kind of backfired. Now let’s throw cholesterol in there.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:48″] Vegans and Vegetarian choices are not nutritionally balanced. B-12 is a big clarifier. Shoutout to Dr. Carrie Diulus a Vegan Psychiatrist who helps clarify that fat is necessary and that cutting sugars and grains is essential.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:23″] Get your magnesium, get healthy sun exposure, no refined carbs or sugars, no vegetable oil. Preferably consume avocado oil or olive oil. There’s a huge overlap where we do agree here with Vegans.

070: Wheat, Leaky Gut, Vaccines, The Paleo Cardiologist

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Your Paleo Cardiologist Co-Host:

We talk with a powerful new co-host today on wheat consumption issues, nutrition, leaky gut, the use of vaccines, and of course The Paleo Cardiologist book from Dr. Jack Wolfson.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] Connecting on life and living in Arizona, sharing our joint experiences.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:50″] Jack and his wife met in 2004, he was working in a large Cardiology practice. His wife is a doctor of chiropractic and causation who opened up his eyes to other worlds of health. This led to him leaving the big medical group in 2012 for a bigger purpose, launching The Drs Wolfson and eventually him writing The Paleo Cardiologist book.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:35″] Standing Desks.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:10″] MD’s relating to DC’s. Mentioning how Vinnie Tortorich isn’t a supporter of Doctor’s of Chiropractic. Jack helps us clarify what “real doctors” can truly do in different situations.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:20″] Scott finds his trust of chiropractic care in 2008 training for the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington DC.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:15″] The average MD, a medical doctor is not taught anything about nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:50″] Taking issue with the 300 MD’s and Ph.D.’s that wrote the references he includes at the end of his book, The Paleo Cardiologist.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:45″] We’re talking about who lives the best, who lives the longest, who has the lowest risk of heart attack and stroke.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:20″] Referencing the NSNG lifestyle, Vinnie Tortorich and how he’s surviving Leukemia Cancer by reducing sugar consumption.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Whatever the diet book, everyone is going to be anti-sugar these days. It’s hard to get people off the sugar, all we can do is give them the information. What people do with the information is their choice. They’re not hearing the truth in the typical medical establishment. Doctors are not spending the time to speak to people, they’re not educated to speak to people, they’re kind of down on the whole process of nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:10″] Sharing our mutual love of mountain biking. Even as a Cardiologist, all he can do is call 911 in the case of an emergency.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Get out of the gym, get outside, hike, bike, do squats with your bodyweight, lunges, pushups, etc.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:00″] Trail running, thin soled shoes, we both read the Born to Run book.
[spp-timestamp time=”27:45″] Jack doesn’t wear shoes in his office and sells healthy duck fat.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:08″] He first learned about Leaky Gut in 2005 and never heard of it during his 10 years in school.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:00″] Test kits for leaky gut and more for using the Wheat Zoomer. Also chatting on Wheat Belly and the Grain Brain books.
[spp-timestamp time=”32:45″] Are sprouted ancient grains healthier than wonder bread. Don’t guess, get tested.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:50″] The human body is an amazing and powerful machine.
[spp-timestamp time=”34:07″] Referencing Dr. Jack Kruse and mitochondrial health. Both Jack’s actually spoke together at an event in June 2016 in Vermont.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:00″] Jack Kruse brings heavy science to the Paleo lifestyle. Dr. Jack Wolfson tests people’s cellular levels of Omega 3′, Vegans are extremely deficient in Omega 3’s. Clearly, this is linked to all disease as well.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:20″] Follow the wisdom of our ancestors.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:37″] Mentioning Dr. Joe Dispenza and my recent event attendance learning about the quantum law.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:00″] The Quantlet device from Dr. Jack Kruse.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Our bodies natural response to problems is inflammation. We need to put the fire out by finding what the caused the fire. It’s all about causation.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] Kevin Cottrell and Jack Wolfson speaking at PALEOfx.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:00″] If you’re Mediterranean, just do it without the chemicals and you’ll make a huge difference.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:10″] People are not getting the answers from their average MD.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:20″] The use of statin drugs vs finding the 0% category. Jack shows all of the medical data on statins in The Paleo Cardiologist book.
[spp-timestamp time=”49:10″] Jack clarifies for me that his 300 References from medical professionals in his book, means that he has referenced their studies that support his studies and the book. If you’re insulting Jack and The Paleo Cardiologist, then you’re insulting the 300 other medical journals he has researched too.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:05″] Mentioning Nina Teicholz and The Big Fat Surprise book.
[spp-timestamp time=”53:00″] Give the gift of health and education.
[spp-timestamp time=”55:00″] Clarifying where to get started for accomplishing your own blood testing. Referencing the Wheat Zoomer, looking at Leaky Gut, where your inflammation is at, etc.
[spp-timestamp time=”57:20″] It’s nice to not have a family history, but genetic changes can happen, referencing epigenetics.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:00:30″] Jack’s high-level focal points to improve our health are the nutrition, sleep, the sunshine, and reducing stress.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:03:20″] Final Words

Unfortunately, Sugar is the most addictive thing in the world. – Dr. Jack Wolfson
