Final Words:

As far as Diet goes, because my editor asked me, you got to have a diet I said. If it tastes good, don’t eat it. Unless you read the label, I guarantee it has sugar in it. So that is all you have to do, you don’t have to count calories, you can eat all the calories you want. Eat steak, eat as much steak as you want, because you’re going to be satiated and satisfied so quickly. You’re really not gonna be hungry anyway. So it’s a misnomer, eat a lot of sugar, you will be hungry and never satisfied. That’s number one.

It’s all about stem cells now, and my new book will be a lot about stem cells. Stem cells do not give a rat’s ass what you call your itis because they don’t speak English. Did you know that stem cells don’t speak English, French, German, or any other language other than the immune system language? That’s my message. Unlike drugs, if you do stem cells, it’ll get rid of any disease if it’s inflammatory. That’s my message, living a natural lifestyle, using natural products, which stem cells are, and whether it’s allergenic or your own, life will be good. So have a nice steak and some green vegetables and you’ll live forever,

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] MS is really another manifestation of sugar on a different nerve. That nerve is the Vegas nerve. When you get tingling and numbness in your toes, in the beginning phases you may have some ocular changes in the eye, and then eventually you get loss of not only feeling in your feet but your loss of motor control. It’s the same as diabetic neuropathy, just a different nerve.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Football players, so we want to get those guys to the 300 pounds. So we’re gonna take you okay, how the hell we gonna do it. If you eat a ketogenic diet, you’re not going to be alignment. I am a keto guy. You’re going to be very strong, you’re going to be very alert, and lean and mean, but we don’t need that. We need you 350 I can get your calories up for every pound I can get you up there. So how are we gonna do that, well we got to feed you. We got a carbohydrate load. and you got to eat multiple meals during the day. We just got to fatten you up.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] You ever hear about Vinnie Totorich? Oh, yeah, he interviewed me for my book years ago. Well we’ve got the crowdfunded success coming in the form of a documentary film, FAT A Documentary releasing by July 30th, 2019!
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Politicians, they give the money to the horse they think is gonna win in that race. So they bet every horse and they can’t lose. So under the farm bill is NIH.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] Fungus loves sugar. So if dead tissue is present, the fungus gets underneath the nail, which is a dead curtain, which is what it’s made of, and they just breathe in there. That’s a portal of entry for infection, a bacterial infection. You’ve lost sensation because of the diabetic neuropathy and you get a bacterial infection.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:02:00″] Healthy lifestyle knowledge for doctors is not easy sometimes. I think they’ve been deceived, they really have. If we go back in history, especially the 1800s, they were just describing effects they didn’t know was from sugar. Only the rich people ate sugar because it was expensive. It was scarce then but now it’s plentiful, it’s in everything and it’s cheap. We use that as a preservative and so everybody is sick. America is fat and sick and weakened by this horrible dependency on sugar.

125: Healing Energy, Yew Trees, Cepia Costa Rica with Shawna Peters

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Harnessing Your Healing Energy, What’s a Yew Tree, and learning about the non-profit Cepia Costa Rica:

Shawna started out in very mind-oriented therapy, with a Master of Arts in Counselling, but life had other plans. Her body began to speak so loudly through a number of diagnoses and symptoms, that after years of suffering, she was required to listen. Learning to listen to her body took her on a long journey of learning and self-discovery and lead Shawna to the world of energy and consciousness based therapies which combined so well with the parts she loved about counseling. Her main modality, BodyTalk, is a combination of the feminine energy of intuition and Eastern healing philosophies and the masculine energy of Western science, psychology and epigenetic research, just the way she likes it! Her online practice focuses on Women’s trauma, healing from it and how it is connected to the autoimmune illness, mental health issues and other health problems women suffer. Near her home in Costa Rica, she is constantly inspired by the strength of the local women she meets where she volunteers at a free energy clinic.

My life was miserable. I lived in pain and fatigue. I was miserable internally and didn’t know how to get out of that. So it really was one step at a time. That led Shawna to her body, noting that the body gets a lot of disrespect.

The body is a safe place, it is full of so much generosity, so much abundance, so much information. The body is the most amazing guide she has ever found.

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

044: Silicon Valley, Cancer, Paleo, Sleep with Kevin Cottrell

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Sleep focused, Paleo fed co-hosting:

The key to fitness, health and wellness are sleep. With poor sleep comes poor foundations. With poor foundations, we cannot build. Everything will come crashing down. People through time have worn a lack of sleep, due to hustle and getting stuff done, as a badge of honor. It’s time to put to bed that misconception with Episode 44 and our co-host Kevin Cottrell of fitfluentialradio.com and the HealthCast Now Podcast. Kevin found out the hard way. Through poor lifestyle and environmental choices, Kevin developed a Melanoma Cancer. Although he was a fit guy, his fitness was built upon a foundation of poor sleep. Kevin made critical lifestyle choices and is now healthier than ever. This episode is about the importance of sleep and lifestyle choices.

[spp-tweet tweet=”Light, Water, Magnetism, #Fat Kevin to #Fit Kevin #biohacker @kevincottrell @LIVETHEFUEL “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:22″] Kevin left College in the 80’s, he went back to where he grew up in the Palo Alto area. Kevin got involved in a number of startups in the 90’s, he was the typical Biz Dev Executive working 80-90 hours, traveling excessively, not getting enough sleep but he worked out every day. He thought he was on track. Then came the late 90’s into 2001 and the Dot Com crash. He had stock options on a startup that went public. The shares went from $100 a share to $1 a share in 60 days. An inner layer of stress started to form. Kevin was a guy, during that period of his life that thought sleep was overrated. As long as he kept working out things would be OK. Moving forward to the summer of 2006, Kevin had a mole removed, just a straight forward procedure. He gets a calling saying he needs an emergency procedure to remove some skin from his neck as he has a pretty serious Melanoma (Type of Skin Cancer).
[spp-timestamp time=”03:55″] One of the things Kevin got really good at as an Executive was when lots of drama and chaos comes up, Leadership and Executives fall into one of two camps, they are either a problem solver or you are part of the problem and chaos. Kevin had developed quite a good reputation as a problem solver so he began systematically asking questions at the Doctors office about the problem. He kept a level head despite the stress surging through his body.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:02″] At the point in time Kevin had the Cancer, he had the belief the Cancer was to do with family history but he came to find out since then it was much more to do with his lifestyle that put him at risk than it was any family history.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:33″] In 2009 Kevin was known as ‘Fat Kevin’. Now he wasn’t obese, but he looked obese. He was heavier and started to trend towards type 2 diabetes. This was from following the conventional advice from the Doctors. He was back to working out at four in the morning five times a week. He wasn’t getting enough sleep and was starting to move towards a different direction from a lifestyle stand point. He knew something was not right still. After listing to a Podcast about the Paleo Diet, Kevin knew he had to start looking into it. It wasn’t about the diet he was interested in, it was the lifestyle concept. A Doctor Friend, Dr. Jack Kruse, challenged him to go look at the incidents of melanoma and look at the further you are from the equator are the incidents. Kevin started to change his lifestyle. He began to focus on sleep and getting a healthy dose of sunlight. What happened was he got really healthy. His blood marker ratings went from a 6 to less than 1. He dramatically reduced the inflammation in his body. All by changing his environment and his lifestyle.

“Here’s a great before/after picture. First (left) was 2009. Right 2016. FYI, the weight difference is less than 10 lbs showing massive inflammation.” Do you sleep enough?!

[spp-timestamp time=”13:38″] Key Bio Markers, BUN to Creatinine Ratio, Blood Marker for Inflammation. Vitamin D levels. If you are in an environment where you have way too much blue light, you are indoors way too much, you can take Vitamin D Supplements or even Sun outside and remarkably our bodies do not react.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:28″] Kevin takes fewer supplements now. He concentrates on core lifestyle changes. Getting out and getting sunlight. Anchoring his Circadian rhythm.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:52″] Sleep is something we do have control over. The fastest way to wreck yourself is not to get enough sleep but also hormonally wack yourself by not sleeping correctly based on the light cycle.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:00″] Melatonin Production. Coincidences of low Melatonin and chronic diseases. Stop playing Russian Roulette with sleep. You can whack your Melatonin in a number of different ways. The first is not sleeping enough and not sleeping at the right times.
[spp-timestamp time=”24:50″] Your body needs to recover. Building a building or building a house. If your light/dark cycle and Circadian rhythm is out, you should be working our less, it is the quickest way to burnout. True health and wellness is built on the foundation of good sleep and good nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:12″] Focus on your foundation. Be clean. Eat real food that is nutrient dense. But if you are having problems focusing on the circadian alignment. Do some of the non-intuitive things, take a look at some of your lifestyle choices, are you poisoning yourself with blue light at night or are you falling asleep with the TV on in the bedroom or are your blood markers showing you have massive inflammation, focus on that then come back and look at your workouts. Workout less more is not better.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:41 “]Quality over quantity and less is more. Audit your light/dark cycle and sleep.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:39″] Inflammation is a fire going on in your body. FitFluential is re-framing the dialog so they can help people be their own health advocates.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:44″] Optimization and longevity
[spp-timestamp time=”42:41″] Don’t depend on healthcare, rebuild your foundations. Start surrounding yourself with knowledge.

Terms and Meanings

Circadian:
A circadian rhythm /sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/ is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria.
Epigenetics:
The study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself.
Melanoma:
A type of skin cancer that can spread to other organs in the body
Blood Marker for Inflammation:
If you have inflammation in a part of your body then extra protein is often released from the site of inflammation and circulates in the bloodstream. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasma viscosity (PV)blood tests are commonly used to detect this increase in protein
BUN Creatinine Ratio:
BUN/creatinine is the ratio between blood urea nitrogen (BUN), a waste product in the blood from protein metabolism, and creatinine. This ratio is used to help determine if kidney function is impaired due to a damaged or diseased kidneys or another factor outside of the kidneys.
Key Biomarkers:
Biomarkers are key molecular or cellular events that link a specific environmental exposure to a health outcome

This is not only for health and wellness but also the dark side meaning, chronic diseases, and potentially early death. You should be focusing on optimizing our lifestyle and environment. In other words, we are not going to be optimized if we are inadvertently destroying our foundation.

Don’t fall prey to the argument of, I am going to just eat more healthy or exercise more because if the foundations are destroyed it is not going to work. Focus on sleep, focus on a circadian optimization plan, which is the light/dark cycle and eliminating the things that get you off track.
