Discussing Cancer and the KETO aka Ketogenic Lifestyle with returning co-host, Dr. Brendan Prendergast:

Brendan has returned for his second appearance on our podcast to dig deeper into the topic of Cancer and the KETO aka Ketogenic Lifestyle. He last appeared on episode 173 where we dug deeper into Primal and Paleo as a big influence on his healthy lifestyle. However, we failed to dig as deep into his truly passionate topic around Cancer and our healthy lifestyle influences.

Some quick background on him, he graduated medical school in 2008 and completed his radiation oncology residency training in 2013. He has lived on Florida’s Space Coast since 2013, where he works as a radiation oncologist at a busy cancer center. He has been practicing a primal/paleo lifestyle since 2011 and has become passionate about the connection between diet/lifestyle and health, particularly as it relates to cancer.

He and his wife, Rachel, started a blog OurHealthHabit.com to share their perspective and outlook on building healthy lifestyles as a family. Brendan has years of personal experience with different nutritional strategies–from paleo to intermittent fasting and ketosis–and his medical background brings a unique perspective to these concepts. He is enthusiastic about health, longevity, and cancer prevention and believes that the key to achieving these can be found by looking outside the mainstream medical and nutrition resources. When he’s not working or spending time with his family, Brendan enjoys working out and training for OCR races and has qualified for the North American Championships to be held in Vermont this summer. Brendan is an avid reader and consumer of podcasts, although this is his first experience on the other side of the microphone!

Final Words:

Before you dive into major lifestyle changes, listen to something by Dom D’Agostino from KETO Nutrition. He’s got great episodes out there on podcast shows like Tim Ferris and Nourish Balance Thrive.

Listen and learn more about it and maybe find out more about why you may want to do it. A good enough reason is that you want to try it. You could find out that gosh, that was miserable, or gosh, I did it and I may feel better. You might be a cancer patient or you might have a family member who’s living with Cancer. There are other positive impacts here in relation to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease, which is a huge reason to consider this.

Ketogenic Lifestyle Co-Host:

Welcome to LIVETHEFUEL Episode 54. On this Episode we talk about how to start a Ketogenic lifestyle. Someone who has deep knowledge in the subject is the NSNG trademarked creator himself. Vinnie Tortorich who returns to co-host the show! We also talk about topics and best practices learned from his 4 years of Podcasting.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”02:01″] Some of the biggest things Vinnie has learned thanks to Podcasting.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:56″] The annoyance of popups and trademarking NSNG.
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:13″] Pure Vitamin Club
• [spp-timestamp time=”13:48″] Fruit and Vegetables sourced locally vs shipped in.
• [spp-timestamp time=”17:37″] B12 Product from Pure Vitamin Club.
• [spp-timestamp time=”22:27″] LIVETHEFUEL Resource Page. Purity of the messaging and promoting products you believe in.
• [spp-timestamp time=”26:50″] Villa Cappelli Olive Oil.
• [spp-timestamp time=”28:09″] Vinnie tells us about some Italian runners that came from their version of the special forces who ran a marathon across a desert on just olive oil.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:58″] Takes years of training to be able to run marathons, or anything effectively for that matter. You have to put in the reps. Start small and work up to it.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:12″] Vinnie has studied at a much higher level than most personal trainers. Vinnie studied at Medical School of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:02″] Doctors, most only know drugs and not true health or nutrition.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:33″] Finding a Ketogenic lifestyle. Vinnie notes that NSNG is not a Ketogenic diet. Don’t just jump in. Go spend a week or two eating cleaner and the most important part is to start reading and listening to properly understand the lifestyle. It will make the leap easier.
• [spp-timestamp time=”38:24″] The Charlie Foundation and the ketogenic influence in health to battle epilepsy.
• [spp-timestamp time=”43:04″] “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.” All you can do is consistently show them the path.
• [spp-timestamp time=”47:59″] The bad four letter word. Diet is a short term mindset. We gain and lose weight based on hormones. Vinnie explains about the hormones that tell you that you are full and the ones that make you feel hungry.
• [spp-timestamp time=”55:14″] Eat yourself healthy rather than taking the easy option of popping a pill.
• [spp-timestamp time=”56:45″] We have become a ‘Want it now society’ and see “the pill” as the magic bullet. A pharmacy is just a temporary band-aid.
• [spp-timestamp time=”1:00:28″] Final Words
