Episode #317 with Dr. Anna Cabeca
Hey there, love the podcast. Love both of you.
In this podcast questions came in from a Canadian listener.
In your podcast today it was indicated by the Canadian listener that Dutch Testing is not available in Canada. I live in Canada and I have had Dutch test done through my Naturopath Clinic and know that it is readily available in Canada.
Another listener mentions that she cannot get a practitioner that can or will prescribe testosterone for her. Well again, I have been using compounded... more

Essential Oils as a biohack
Dr Zielinski is very passionate and pragmatic about essential oils and the usage. I learned a lot about the sense of smell and the importance of essential oils in our everyday lives. Melanie asked great probing questions and shared her personal experience as well!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#363 - Ben Azadi: Keto Flex, Becoming Fat Vs. Keto-Adapted, Adapt, Fast, Phase, Flex, Measuring Ketones, The Great Seed Oil Debate, Carnivore Benefits, Raynaud's Syndrome, GLP-1 Agonists, Protein Importance, Fatty Acids In Cell Membranes, And More!

Q: So, what is the purpose of the four pillars and what is the order of adapting through them?

The four pillars progressively guide the body from fat adaptation to fasting, then to phasing out antinutrients with carnivore elements, and finally to a flexible keto approach that adapts to individual needs, with timing and sequencing chosen to minimize overwhelm and maximize long-term metabolic flexibility.

#362 - Frank Llosa: Exogenous Ketone Benefits, Ketone Supplement Myths, Hard Ketones: Alcohol-Free Buzz, Boosting Cognition & Athletic Performance, Becoming Keto Adapted, Amplifying Caffeine, Measuring Ketones, Intermittent Fasting Tools, And More!

Q: What's the difference between ketone esters and ketone salts, and why does your company emphasize the ester form for cognition and performance?

Ketone esters chemically deliver D-BHB with a highly bioavailable mechanism, leading to faster and more robust ketone elevation and better cognitive and recovery benefits; salts are cheaper but less efficient and can burden the liver due to high salt loads.

Q: Does taking exogenous ketones break a fast, or should we rethink what constitutes breaking a fast when using ketone esters?

Taking exogenous ketones can extend a fast by suppressing hunger and providing energy, and it may not necessarily 'break' a fast in terms of extending the fasting window or fat burning, though the metabolic state shifts toward ketosis and glucose use depends on individual context.

#360 - Dr. Michelle Jorgensen: Supporting Cellular Energy, The Truth About Fluoride, Cosmetic Dentistry, Living Seasonally, Mercury Fillings & Chelation, Holistic Dentistry, Epigenetics, Modern Approaches To Traditional Medicine, And More!

Q: And you were pulling everybody, is that still the case today where they would recommend being a dentist if you want to have a family as a woman? Or do you think it's different now?

Absolutely, it still is the case; dentistry is a family-friendly career with favorable hours and lifestyle, though health considerations and understanding of risks have evolved; the path now emphasizes broader health impacts and flexibility.

#361 - Dr. Jo Brown: Nuropod, Vagus Nerve Stimulation, Interpreting HRV, Becoming Your Authentic Self, Supporting Stress Relief, Optimum Physical Performance, Parasympathetic & Sympathetic Nervous Systems, How To Actually Recover, Optimum Vagal Tone, And More!

Q: What actually is the vagus nerve and can you see it if you dissect a person?

The guest describes the vagus nerve as a large, multi-branching nerve running from the brainstem through the heart, lungs, and gut; it is visible as distinct cords upon dissection, and the vagus nerve has widespread influence due to its attachments.
