215. Ernæringsekspert og medisinstudent Temple Stewart om underliggende årsaker til hormonelle ubalanser og PCOS og hvordan fikse det (English)

Transcript

Velkommen til Kjemperådet! Vi har fått inn et kjempenytt problem fra en mor. Jeg leser. Hei, jeg har en datter på 11 år som vurderer å slutte med orientering. Hun elsker jo å løpe, men finner aldri veien. Og jeg må sitte så lenge i bilen og vente. Tricky. Men dette her har jeg opplevd selv faktisk. Og løsningen for meg ble da Maps på mobilen. Hun er jo under 13 år, og da får hun 5 GB data for bare 149 kroner med Telenor. Hun bør jo sjekke ut nye mobilabonnement på Telenor ennå da. Yes!

Vi er to jenter bak rattet. Dette er Monica.

Dette er Alette. Vi er biohacking-kollegaer og legger sammen våre erfaringer og kunnskap, og inspirerer deg til å ta fatt på biohacking for å optimalisere helsen din. Vi følger med hos dette forstørrelsesglas på trender og siste forskning, og snakker med verdens toppeksperter innen trening, lifecoaching, helse og biohacking.

Er du klar for å starte med konkrete hacks, lytte til din egen kropp, og ta fatt på din helsemessige reise sammen med oss? Vi ønsker naturlig tilnærming til helsen vår, og med snakke til både menn og kvinner. Du kan gjerne gi tilbakemeldinger til oss under podcasten her, og slå gjerne til med en god stjerne. Du finner oss også på Instagram og Facebook. Er du klar? Velkommen!

I dag skal vi snakke om et tema som vi lenge har hatt lyst til å gå litt i dybden på, fordi det er veldig mange som sliter med det, og det er dette som heter PCOS. Polisistisk ovarie syndrom heter det på norsk. Det er egentlig den vanligste hormonforstyrrelsen som er hos både jenter, damer og kvinner i dag.

Det er mellom 10 og 20 prosent av oss kvinner som rammes av dette i disse dager. Jeg kjenner kun én person, jeg har én venn som har dette syndromet. I min krets er det ikke mye. Kjenner du mange av disse som har PCOS?

Ja, faktisk. Så vet jeg om ganske mange som sliter med det rundt i min krets og har hatt problemer med å få barn og alt mulig rart. Ja, for det er akkurat det. Det kan få så enorme konsekvenser, og det å slite med å få til å bli gravid er jo en av de om man har hørt

Noen historier gjør at jenter som ikke har de kuleste symptomene som så bært, og kviser som søster, og de går opp i vekt, og de blir ustabile i humøret, og menstruasjon er jo mange ganger helt borte, helt uteblivende, eller at den er veldig uregelmessig. Men dette også med at man mister hår, og ansiktshår kan være et av de tegnene.

Når vi hører alle disse tegnene, så er det veldig likt det å få diabetes. Så er dette en annen form for diabetes, kanskje? Eller er dette et forestadie? Det skal vi snakke om i dag, men jeg må bare fortelle en historie. Denne har jeg faktisk lest om en som hadde PCOS. Hun skriver at hun ønsker å vise litt mer om det før dette skjedde, for hun fikk sitt første kyss.

Og så sier han til hans kjesser, har du barbert deg?

Oi, hun hadde jo bort! Det var det verste hun har vært med på hele sitt liv. Hun syntes det var forfeidelig. Så etter det begynte hun å vokse, og så skjønte hun at hun rett og slett hadde PCOS, og så var det helt nødvendigvis store rundt det. Jeg synes bare hun var litt søt. Du snakket om det med diabetes, og mange omtaler dette som en slags diabetes på livmord, ikke sant?

Vi som biohekkere vil gjerne til roten av det som er symptommessig opplagsomt, og prøve å forebygge så godt det lær seg gjøre. For det som er det, er at det ikke finnes noen medisin mot PCOS. Det som blir foreskrevet hos legen, er et hormonelt prevensjon. Det er det du får veldig ofte hjelp til når du kommer hos legen.

Men så er det jo dette vi skal snakke om i dag, at du faktisk kan gjøre noe med kanskje kosthold, livsstil, og at det også kan hjelpe. Men vi skal også snakke om obesogener, og hvordan disse kan føre til overvekt og forstyrre våre geners uttrykk. Ja, dette synes jeg er litt skummelt område. Det er så lite håndfast og målbart, og da øker alltid usikkerheten hos meg, og sikkert hos deg også, Lethe. Ja, jeg tror det gjør det hos de fleste.

Men følg med for Temple, som vi skal ha på podcasten i dag. Hun har et og annet å si om både PCOS og obesogeni. Hun er en amerikansk dame som vi begynte å følge på Instagram når vi ble veldig inne i keto på den tiden. Hun heter The Ketogenic Nutritionist på Instagram. Hun har selv en historie med

PCOS, og den skal vi vel få snakket om i dag, og så har hun også blitt veldig interessert i dette med obesogene, for hun ser faktisk så mange som hun sier gjør alt riktig, men likevel så blir de tykkere og tykkere.

Ja, denne damen heter Temple Stewart og hun er ernæringsfysiolog og sertifisert personlig trener og jobber som spesialist med pasienter og folk som kommer til henne fordi at legen har på en måte gitt opp

eller bare gitt i medisiner, og da går hun under i dubben og begynner å ta tester og finner ofte årsaken. Hun har hjulpet så mange kvinner. Denne episoden er veldig interessant og optimistisk for det er så mye håp i den fortelle og dele med alle de kvinner som da har strevet med å kunne bli gravide, som etter hennes tre måneders opplegg har klart å bli gravide.

I dag har hun flyttet med familien sin til Phoenix i Arizona. Jeg tror hun har blitt veldig inspirert av alle historiene hun har hørt. Nå er hun faktisk i gang med et medisinstudie. Dette blir spennende. Hun kommer til å være en ressurs når dette blir ferdig. Det er jeg helt sikker på. Nå vil vi ønske Temple velkommen til podcasten vår. Velkommen til Biohack'n Girls, din podcast for optimal helse.

Velkommen, Tempo. Det er så fint av deg å komme opp i morgen så tidlig for å snakke med oss. Vi vet at du virkelig liker din morgenrutin, så i dag blir det blandt opp for deg. Kan du fortelle hva en normal morgen er for deg, og hvordan dette har gjort at ditt kveldstøtte har stått? Hvordan holder du det med din morgenrutin?

Ja, totalt. Min morgenroutine har forandret over årene, for jeg har gått i steder. Jeg var en Division 1-kollegiathlete lenge, og nå har jeg en treåring og en femåring. Ting har forandret, og det er viktig for folk å forstå at man ikke må være så stengt i det. Hvis det ikke fungerer i livet,

Gjennomgå det, gjennomgå det, gjennomgå det, gjennomgå det, gjennomgå det, gjennomgå det.

Eller vann med citron, eller noe som ikke er kaffe. Jeg har flyttet til muskler kaffe for å prøve å få ridd av kaffein. Jeg gjør typisk 30-45 minutter styrke, eller funksjonal fitness, styrke Pilates, noe på de linjene. Det er stadig mørkt her i Fenix, så jeg gleder meg ikke til å gå for en walk.

Så jeg gjør det, og så spender jeg mye av morgenen i bedrømming og gratis. Jeg er en ikke-denominasjonel kristne, så det er det jeg skal gjøre neste. Det hjelper meg å begynne dagen, og så skal jeg kjøpe kjøkken. Jeg tror det er vanskelig å nå, at jeg skal kjøpe minst 30-35 gram kjøkken i morgen. Jeg føler at det har vært ...

Det er best å hjelpe meg med krevinger, og bare håndtere appetittet hele dagen. Det er når jeg har en andre kopp te eller muskelkoffe. Det er også da mine barn våkner. Det hender hva som skjer når mine barn våkner. Det er min dødstid i morgenen, for å begynne min dag bra. For denne podcasten har jeg bare forvandlet den samme rutinen, bare en time tid før. Jeg kom på klokken fire, og gikk foran og gjorde det.

Du stikker til rutinen, så du spenner en halv time, 45 minutter hver morgen gjennom dette? Jeg vil si nærmere en time og 15 minutter, på en god dag. Det henger på hvor langt jeg er, for å være ærlig, hvor mange distraksjoner det er. Jeg vil si en time og en time og 15 minutter er vanligvis mitt mål.

Stikke til rutiner og tilføye noen slags fodder og nødvendighet i morgenen er for helset. Men vi vil virkelig elske å høre hva du sier om din fattigløsningsstorie, Temple.

Ja, helt. Som jeg nevnte i begynnelsen, var min historie, hvor jeg er nå, influensert av hvor jeg var. Jeg vokste opp i Syd-Mississippi. For å forklare til publikum. Syd er veldig kjent i USA for veldig riktig mat. Det er fantastiske kokere her, min familie.

Det er bare en historie av dyrt fritt, sukkerfattig fodd. Så det er så jeg vokste opp, og jeg vokste opp å spise mange av disse foddene. Jeg trodde aldri at noe var feil, men jeg var en større barn, så jeg var definitivt større enn alle mine venner og kollegaer i skolen.

Det sette opp noen selvstendighetsproblemer som barn, men jeg var veldig atletisk. Jeg spilte soccer, softball, basketball. Jeg gjorde alle tingene som jeg tror maskerte mange av de potensielle problemerene jeg hadde hatt som barn. Jeg var ikke obes, men jeg pusket det. Da jeg var i skolen, fikk jeg se til at ting skjedde. På den tiden var jeg ganske gammel for å ha en regulær periode. Jeg hadde ikke en regulær periode. Som jeg nevnte, spilte jeg soccer kompetitivt i skolen.

Jeg hadde møteproblemer, jeg hadde systisk akne, jeg skredde mye hære. For en 18-19-årig er det ikke riktig. Jeg bør være i min primære i termer av hormonløshet. Jeg gikk til nørspraktikeren der på campus og fortalte henne at jeg skifter perioden. Noen ganger går jeg 3-4 måneder uten periode. Jeg får disse horrifiske... Hånden min var så dårlig. Solusjonen givet til meg og til mange kvinner var fødselkontroll. Ikke vet jeg noe bedre. Jeg gjorde det.

Det gjør at alt blir massert, og likvelig gjør at ting blir vanskeligere. Jeg gikk gjennom universitetet og spilte soccer. Jeg har fortsatt vokst, men jeg har vokst på atletikken.

And when I got out of college and I was studying to be a dietitian at the time, I loved food and I knew that food impacted the way I feel. I just didn't have the tools at the time to really overhaul my diet. So I was doing a lot of what the American colleges say are as a healthy diet. So I was doing a lot of whole grains, a lot of legumes, a lot of these high carby foods. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was extremely insulin resistant. So this was just making me more and more

In trouble with my weight and skin and everything and anyway, I graduated college and I went to work for a hospital here in Florida Or there in Florida at the time and that's when things really hit the fan. I was no longer Competitively playing soccer. So my activity levels went really really down and I started to just balloon I mean I was gaining a pound a day and before I knew it I was like 65 pounds overweight and I

You know, I just gotten married and I wanted to be a mom and all these things. And I was just thinking in my head, one, I feel like an imposter because I'm a dietitian and I can't even get my life together in terms of my weight. Two, I'm not having a period. And I know that that can't be helpful. We know our fertility and our cycles are just so important to women's health. Three, I'm getting home at like 3 p.m. in the afternoon, 4 p.m., and I just want to sleep. Like I have no time for my husband. I have no time to do things fun because I just felt

horrific. I couldn't figure out why, and of course, ended up at the OBGYN and the women's doctor. They basically told me, oh, you have PCOS. You've had this for years. Here's metformin, spironolactone, and some more birth control. That was really the crux of my story, was getting that and listening to this prude doctor. He had terrible bedside manner, and he was just very rude about the whole thing.

I was basically begging for information on how to heal this naturally, and I got nothing. So I walked out of there feeling super defeated. I already had mood issues, and that just added to it. And so that was really the day that I was like, you know what? I refuse to live in this any longer. This has been years of my life now, and I'm going to fix this. And I don't care if I have to go a little rogue to do it.

Wow, what a story. We have so many questions about PCOS for our audience, but please just explain to us what it is and why is so many women affected by this now?

Yeah. So it's the number one endocrine infertility causing hormonal issue in the world. It's a huge problem. A lot of women have no clue that they have it. And a lot of women will go years and years and years without ever knowing that they are struggling with this.

And essentially to put it super simply, PCOS is diabetes of the ovaries. So it's an insulin resistant condition for the most part. Sometimes there can be like, you know, different versions of PCOS, like inflammatory PCOS or birth control induced PCOS and things like that. But the vast majority, like 85 plus percent of people who have PCOS have some degree of insulin resistance. And so

So it is a predecessor before type 2 diabetes, essentially. Now, I do think there's genetic components. I think it depends on environment. And we're learning more and more about all these things in our environment that may be pushing insulin resistance. But I say all that to say it truly is a form of diabetes of the ovaries.

that is PCOS in a nutshell. Essentially, it just causes a lot of crazy hormonal dysfunction from insulin is like upstream, and it causes kind of a contaminated river downstream for all these other hormones. And so that's when you start to see all these

hormonal problems in women. You'll get facial hair, which is horrific, and then the women will start to lose hair on their head. You'll get these cystic acne. You'll definitely most of the time lose a period and or have a period but not ovulate, which is a common thing I see as well. Women with PCOS really struggle with weight loss. We can go super low calorie. You can do all these things, and it just is so stubborn because insulin is the energy moving hormone, and it will keep

fat storage on you if you don't take care of it. And so that's essentially insulin or PCOS in a nutshell. And it's very debilitating in a lot of ways. It's linked to binge eating. It's linked to mood disorders. It's linked to depression. It's linked to all these things.

long-term women with PCOS, if they do get pregnant, they tend to have way higher rates of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and around 40% of women diagnosed with PCOS will eventually, no, 60% will eventually end up with type 2 diabetes. And so it's truly a problem that we are just kind of ignoring and brushing under the rug. And then also conventional medicine tends to just treat it by basking the symptoms.

Yeah, because the conventional treatment is birth control pills, isn't it? It's birth control. It's typically metformin, which is a type 2 diabetes medication. And then there's a medication called spironolactone, which is an anti-androgen medication. So it doesn't actually fix the reason that you have high androgens. It just gets rid of those high androgens. So a lot of people do feel good on spironolactone. And I'm not

totally against it, especially if they're developing a lot of quick problems, I think it can be helpful. But ultimately, we've got to fix the root cause if we want to have this individual to ovulate again, if we want to have them having a regular cycle. And ultimately, we want to stop this high androgen problem long term. So how long time do you think you have been carrying on with this syndrome without knowing?

Oh, I definitely think I developed it in adolescence. So I would probably, I would say around puberty is when I really started to struggle. Like I was a pretty normal, like regular size, thin kid with no real issues. I think around puberty is when I started to

I really never had a regular cycle until well into my 20s. Like around puberty, I remember I started a cycle and then it just went away for like six months. And then I remember I'd have kind of one where it would be light. So I'd probably say or anywhere from, I don't know, 13 to 15. But how did you find out or what did she test?

hormones. Yeah. So they ran a whole, the OBGYN ran a whole women's reproductive panel. So that includes like total testosterone, free testosterone, DHES, all these androgenic hormones. He also ran just a regular like CBC, CMP, looking at glucose and my A1C and all those different things. And then ultimately to get the PCOS diagnosis. Have you talked about that before? Do you want me to explain?

Explain it, please. Yeah. Yeah. It's here in the States. It's based off the Rotterdam criteria. And basically you have to have two of the three symptoms. One is some sort of amenorrhea or skipping cycles, abnormal cycles, et cetera. Two is having high androgens. Like we talked about like that high DHEA or high testosterone. And then the third one is actual cysts on your ovaries. Now there's a lot of problems with this criteria. And I talk about this a lot on my, on socials and the internet is,

I fully believe PCOS can be reversed because it's diagnosed off of symptoms, right? And a lot of women have cysts on their ovaries. We just have more because we're not ovulating. And so when you fix all of these symptoms, you can not be diagnosable with PCOS ever again. And it's totally possible, and I've seen it in hundreds of clients. But

you know, conventional medicine tells you that you're stuck with this for life. And, and I think even just our, the way we think is such a powerful modality in our healing. And so being told that you're never going to reverse this, you're always going to have these problems, I think is a part of the part of the problem that I have with conventional medicine. So that's essentially the diagnostic criteria for this is it's no period weird hormones insist on your ovaries. And so, but all of this can be reversed.

So why do you think we see a rise in women today with PCOS?

Yes. I think there's a lot of things. Number one, by a long shot is just the way that we are Western. I shouldn't even say Western societies because all societies now are eating this way. High starch, high sugar, a lot of times high fat in combination with this high starch and sugar and limited protein, limited lean muscle mass, limited movement. I also think there is a, I don't think I know, there's a genetic component. So my children are six times more likely to have PCOS

if they were born when I was in an unhealthy place. So I don't really believe that of my biological children. Cause I was very healthy when I had them or had her. Um, and so, you know, there's a genetic component and then there's the environment, right? We're just now scratching the surface of the things that we're being exposed to. We have very poor

food laws here in the United States. We have very poor beauty and cosmetic and makeup laws. So there's just all kinds of trash that's put into these products that women especially are rubbing on their skin 10 times a day, and it's full of these phylates and poofas and forever chemicals and all these things that are just not hormonally conducive to health.

So I think it's a combination of all these things. I live in Phoenix in the United States, which is one of the worst air quality cities in the nation. And we know that air quality impacts insulin resistance. We know that drinking tap water, depending on what's inside of it, can impact some of these hormones. And so I think by far, number one is diet. Number two would definitely be the loss of just physical activity and movement throughout the day. But I think there's this missing component of what are we being exposed to and how is it affecting us long-term?

So if you have the syndrome, what should you absolutely avoid of food?

Oh, immediately get rid of high glycemic food. So I immediately quit flour and sugar and any I even backed away from the fruits that would spike blood sugar quickly, just because I was not in a place that I could handle a lot of carbohydrates at the time. And I don't necessarily believe carbs are the devil. But I do believe that when you overuse them, or you're in a compromise situation where I was in women with PCS are people with prediabetes, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, they're all compromised to some degree, you're not processing carbs the way you should be. And so

It was for a therapeutic time that I decided to get rid of all of it. And so I basically focused heavily on animal protein and lots of non-starchy vegetables and a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. So I lived in the coast at the time in Florida, so I was doing a lot of

high quality seafood and things of that nature. I was getting a lot of Omega-3s, but absolutely kick sugar, get rid of, I don't believe alcohol is really good for anything. Get rid of alcohol, get rid of starch and all those things that just aren't going to take you to your goals. And how about starches like in potatoes, cold potatoes, or would that be okay?

I think so, depending on the individual. So when I counsel clients with PCOS, I always check a C-peptide and a fasting insulin. C-peptide tells me how good your pancreas is still functioning. Fasting insulin tells me where's your insulin right now in this moment. And then I also look at a little bit of inflammation. If my individual or my client is really struggling and their C-peptide is very high,

and their insulin is very high, I'll probably still skip cold potatoes and rice and things that, you know, maybe somebody in a little bit of a healthier place can do just for a time, especially if that individual's goal is conception or like, you know, they really motivated by quick changes. But I don't think that that needs to necessarily be eliminated forever. You know, now I eat plenty of fruit. I eat starchy vegetables with no problem. And my insulin is like three. And so my C peptides 1.2 or something like that. And so

Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, so I'm just so curious about what you eat because you're of course inspired by the ketogenic lifestyle, but also the Mediterranean food. So what would typically be on a good plate for you, which makes you thrive? Yeah, so first, I do a lot of cycling. So I typically stay

pretty keto on the week of my like bleed week or my menstrual cycle. And depending on what I'm doing, right? So I'm in med school right now. So I spend a lot of my days pretty sedentary. And so on those days, I'm not doing a lot of carbohydrates solely because I'm not needing the glycogen and not the sugar. And so a normal day of ketogenic eating for me, I definitely always have eggs. I'm a big egg girl. I don't have any sensitivities or allergies to eggs. So I love eggs and I typically do a lot of fermented food. So I'll have three eggs in the morning, three or four eggs.

And then I'll do like a load of sauerkraut or maybe a handful of kimchi. I also like to do fermented coconut yogurt as well I typically don't snack much just because I found that that keeps me pretty hungry throughout the day I just find myself always snacking if I start so then lunch will usually be some sort of protein whether it's chicken steak a piece of fish

Sometimes I'll do a protein shake if I'm like on the go, but I do a beef collagen protein that I find very helpful. And, and then I'll do a lot of veggies. So it often looks like some sort of bowl, like a stir fry bowl or a large salad. Um, and, or sometimes it's honestly just a piece of protein on the go. Cause I'm running out of the house and then dinner lunch is my largest meal, by the way. So I typically do a very large lunch and then dinner. I eat way less, just, I have found that it works better for my sleep.

But I do like to sit down and have dinner with my kids. And so it's kind of the same thing. It may be a piece of salmon and roasted vegetables or air fried broccoli or something like that. I cook using butter, animal fats, and usually a very high quality olive oil and coconut oil as well. And so those are my fat. I don't do a lot of dairy. If I do do dairy, I'll do raw dairy. That's pretty easy to get here. I just found that dairy is easier for me to digest when it's in the raw form.

But yeah, that's a pretty normal day for me. And then, you know, if I'm having like a high strength workout day or I'm very active or we're going on like a six mile hike, I'll do some of the things you mentioned. I'll do some maybe cold sweet potatoes or, you know, sometimes I'll, I avoid grains in general, cause I've got some autoimmune stuff underlying my PCOS, but I like to do some fruits after protein and on the go. So yeah, that's kind of what a different schedule would look like.

Sounds amazing. It sounds really intuitive and really amazing. But I want to know about your clients. I guess they come to you because they want to get pregnant and they can't and then they find out that they have PCOS because that's usually when they find out.

And do you see that they get pregnant when they fix this syndrome? 100% I shouldn't say 100%. But yes, very frequently. I mean, I've I've had over 50 plus clients get pregnant on on my, like three months, my programs three months. So to be able to get pregnant that quick after being told for

However long that you're never gonna be pregnant is is very cool and and it happened the same for me Like I was shocked, you know, I was shocked I was like, oh my gosh, like I didn't expect this to heal so quickly So yes and the good thing about your body is I fully believe in the body's innate ability to heal and I think when we set it up for healing and

It just magnifies it. And the body knows what's right. The body wants your hormones to be regulated. It doesn't want you to be in this overweight state. It doesn't want you to be inflamed. It's doing the best it can given the environment that it's been put in. And so, yes, many, many clients get pregnant. Some of my favorite stories are the ones who have gone through multiple rounds of IUIs or multiple rounds of IVF and all these things, and they've spent 30 plus grand. I've had a client that spent over 50 grand on IVF.

and got pregnant using a ketogenic diet. And so, you know, I don't guarantee anything because that's just out of my complete control, but I do tell people we can set you up for the best success possible. We jokingly call the ketogenic diet, kind of in the keto realm, the baby diet carnivore to some degree as well in a lot of ways, depending on that individual, but yeah, it can happen. And I always tell my clients, you know, a huge piece of the puzzle is hope as well. And understanding that your body wants to

be in a good spot. And I think a lot of people get so lost in conventional medicine that they have just a part of their problem. And a part of their own health is just the sheer fact that they've lost hope and that they've been told that you're going to live with this forever. You've got this condition that will never go away. And there's something extremely defeating in that. And I, I, I try to switch that narrative as much as I can for my clients is like, no, you hold on to hope you do not give up because it will come.

You know, and so, yeah, it's, it's really incredible. And I would argue that it's one of my favorite parts of the job because infertility is such a, um, I think it affects women so much and I think it affects women more than they can even imagine. And so, um, watching them be able to have a baby is just, it's a real treat.

Beautiful. And yeah, identifying with your disease is really, really not healthy. It's going to backfire. You have to have the hope, that's for sure. And do you put everyone on the ketogenic diet in the beginning, like a strict version of it?

Yes and no. So I'm very big on meeting the individual's body where it is. And so sometimes I'll get clients who think that they have insulin resistance or think that it's X, Y, and Z, but I find out through lab work and through testing and through symptom, you know, recall that, Oh, maybe this is, we're dealing with something different, like a cortisol issue, or maybe you've been exposed to heavy metals or something where it's like,

Uh, maybe we need to take a different approach because there are drawbacks to keto and so I don't ever want to put someone in a place where it's going to make them feel worse and or we're not going to get the results we want. I would say the vast majority of the people that come to me have correctly identified insulin resistance and a problem with like obesity or something like that. And so yes, but if I get lab work back that that

changes the, my mindset. I am, I tell this and I, and I know because my social media is the ketogenic nutritionist. A lot of people assume that I put everyone in the same cookie cutter diet and that that's not true. I don't, I really, I am not dogmatic. I try not to be that way with nutrition either. And there are some clients that I'll start off on a more moderate carbohydrate diet. Cause I'm more worried about their cortisol or their thyroid, or there's something else brewing that it's just not a great idea. And I think it would make them feel worse.

I also get a lot of clients with very complex medical stuff going on. So I've had clients with, you know, type two diabetes and higher stage kidney failure. And those are sometimes are just not super safe to immediately go keto. And so I really try to do it based on the individual, but I would say overall, most people find me.

because they know, okay, this is an insulin issue. I'm pre-diabetic. I've got high blood pressure. I've got PCOS, all these things that have led them to me. And so the majority do, but there are those zebra cases that are not appropriate for keto.

We want to tell you about a new collaboration we are so happy to finally share. We have become proud ambassadors of The Solution from Oslo Skin Lab. We like this trend of taking care of the skin from the inside. It feels so right to support the skin with the right food and good supplements.

If it's something we as biohackers have been doing for many years, it's supplying with collagen powders. The collaboration couldn't have fit us better. The Solution is a beauty collagen that can show in studies that this powder helps with what I hear here. Less wrinkle depth, smoother skin with fewer lines, more elasticity and tension in the skin, and less degree of cellulite.

Ålala, nå har vi jo brukt det etter en stund og fått snakket med forskeren bak det, og vi er rimelig spente på resultatet. For de utgangspunktene våre var strålende bra, og det håper vi på siden vi er biohackere. Vi har tatt en hudanalyse i forkant, men vi må nok vente litt på neste hudanalyse for å se hva som har skjedd med huden vår.

Kollagen er en komponent i hudens bindevev, og viktig for at huden skal holde seg glatt og spennstig. Men fra allerede slutten av 20-årene, synker disse nivåene av kollagen i huden vår, og dette vil vi jo gjerne hacke. Ja, for det som ofte glemmes i debatten om kollagen, er hvordan kollagene er fremstilt, og lengden på peptidene. Et hvilken som helst kollagen vil ikke hjelpe. Det hjelper ikke å spise proteinrikk mat, selv om det inneholder mye kollagen. Protein i kosten fører ikke til glattere hud.

Effekten på hud er vitenskapelig studert, og effektiviteten er kun blitt påvist i studier der man har testet hydrolysert kollagen, altså kollagen som er brutt ned til en helt bestemt peptidlengde. Hydrolysering ser derfor ut å være nødvendig for å få effekt på hudens glatthet.

Derfor var det avgjørende for oss å finne et kollagen-tilskudd som tilfredsstiller disse kriteriene, og som har gjennomgått grundig tester. Det er Solution fra Oslo Skin Lab som oppfyller alle disse standardene.

Tell us, how do you spot insulin resistance in a mile away? I posted a reel about that the other day. We have to hear you talk about it. Once you've had it, I think you're just acutely aware of that person struggling. At my worst, I was able to see all these symptoms in myself. I can see it in the public. It's not coming from judging this person. It's coming from my heart breaking because I want to help.

Noen av de nødvendige fysiske sykdommene man ser på mennesker, hver gang det er kysthær eller fysisk hær på en kvinne, utenfor kanskje menopauskaser, det er et rødt flagg for meg. Hver gang jeg ser noe slags balding eller hårloss på en kvinne, er det et rødt flagg for meg.

Det er noe som heter acanthosis nigracans, som er dørkning av skjermen der patsjene er. I alle etniskiteter ser man dette, og man kan se det også. Often er en individuelt vekt formet for å holde på mest av vektet i hodet.

Det kan være en annen indikasjon for insulin- eller kortisol-problemer. Jeg kan se det i omtrent to sekunder i labsvalg. Vi vet at i Statene skal high triglycerides gå til 150. Vi vet at de virkelig bør holde under 89 for minst risiko for sykdom.

Low HDL er en annen. Noen med høy blodpressur setter på alarmer for meg. Noen med høy glukos, over 85, er mer enn optimalt. Noen med fastende insulin over 5 er en rød flagg for meg. Noen av disse fysiske sykdommene ... Skintag er en annen ganske vanlig. Skintag, cystisk akne ...

at deres fjell er nesten som en møn-fjell eller puffy. Det kan være en kortisol-insulin-problem også. Dette er noen av de nødvendige fysiske tegnene jeg ser for i en individ, og ofte vil de si det til meg. Hvis jeg får en klient på en utforskningsrapport, så er det sånn at jeg har X, Y og Z. Vi har ikke nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis nødvendigvis n

Ja, det tror jeg. Jeg tror at en stor del av skammet går til det. Jeg tror at en stor del av skammet går til at vi har laget tilfellighet over kvalitet i mange måter med fodd. Jeg tror også, og jeg prøver å lette på dette, at vi har begynt å føde barn, og jeg sier ikke at alle kan føde bryst, eller at man bør føle seg skyldig hvis man har hatt å føde formue, men jeg tror også at noen barn

Jeg tror det kan begynne så tidlig som en nyborn. Men ja, de vanlige produktene, fastfod, høyt fett, høyt sukker og så videre.

Det er bare en resept for kronisk sykdom. Det er ikke bare PCOS, det er alle av dem. Det er type 2 diabetes, det er obesitet, det er alt. Kjemisk pollusjon i miljøet er også som en supersisering av den globale obesitetepidemien. Fortell oss om det.

Dette er noe jeg har lagt på bandwagen i de siste par årene. Som sykepleier ser man folk på hele spektrumet når de kommer til U4Health. Noen ganger gjør folk virkelig alt rett. De gjør alt rett med dieten, resistanseutvikling, de sørger for at de sover, de bruger blålampeblokkene. De gjør alt rett.

Og du er fortsatt opptatt av dem. Du tenker at du ikke kan finne ut hva som skjer med deg. Jeg ble frustrert over dette fordi jeg ville kunne hjelpe alle. Ja, det kan være stress eller noe annet som gjør det. Men når du begynner å se på de tingene vi er opptatt av, særlig vann og luft først. Selv til og med våre køkkenutensiler og hva vi drikker fra. Her i USA er det en ting som ikke er regulert i de fleste fastfodkontainere.

Du får et linje med at kjemikaliene forever leirer seg inn i maten din. Jeg tror det er en av grunnene for at kolonkanser spiker, og alle disse andre tingene vi ser. Jeg tror vi virkelig blir angrepet fra alle sider. Jeg sier det på en måte som jeg ikke vil at folk panikker når de hører på dette, eller frekker ut og stresser seg over det, for det vil bare gjøre situasjonen vanskeligere. Men du må være medvendt, og du må være opptatt.

At man ikke bør drikke vann. Jeg vet ikke hvordan det er for dere, men det er ikke her i Staten. Det er ikke bra. Vannet er ikke bra. Kvaliteten er ikke bra. Jeg sier de to tingene først. Det tredje er, hva er det du rubber over kroppen først om morgenen, når du kommer fra vannet, til hva du bruser dine tegner med? De tingene kan oftest være ising på kaken når det gjelder menneskets hormonbevaring.

I really encourage people to start looking at those things, especially if you're stuck and you're like, I feel like I'm doing everything right, but there's just something missing. It can get overwhelming because you start to get really deep into this hole of like, oh my gosh, there's chemicals in my mattress and I'm sleeping on these pillows all night that are breathing these.

PFAs, all these things and phylates and plastics. It's just getting to the point where it's like, this is ridiculous. We need some help from our government to some degree and regulations because it's just out of control and there's no way you can fix all of it until they start making regulations at the top. So

That was a long-winded way of saying, I don't want people to panic about this, but it is a problem. And I'm very, very conscious of this. And I recently got an organic acids test, which is a test of urine. And it basically looks at a lot of this stuff. And a couple of my levels, and I've been doing this for years, cleaning up products. I have air doctors all over my home. We drink out of reverse osmosis with added minerals, and we do a lot of things. And I still

Several of my levels were extremely high and that's concerning to me. You know, I live on a golf course. We have a large major road that I'm looking out right out of my window. And so all of these things can add up long-term. And so if you're struggling and you're not really sure where to go and you've addressed all these other things, that might be your next step.

Yeah, it's really hard to see because it's hard to grasp because you can't see this. You have to take the test you do. And what can we do that's kind of easy for us in our everyday life? Because I kind of panic when I think about this. Yeah, me too. It's so hard. What's some easy first steps just to get the base down?

Totally. Yeah. And again, I want to overemphasize we don't nobody panic that's listening to this because it can get we've all done it for some degree of like we're really stressing out. Like what are our kids doing anyway? So the first things that I like to address is water and air. What are you breathing? You spend most of your time inside of your home when you're sleeping and you count indoor air, all of that.

So those are the first things I like to address with my clients. Are you drinking tap water that has who knows what in it? And are you breathing air that you can't see? Because those are the quickest ways into our systems, right? That's the quickest way into our bloodstream and the quickest way into our body. And so fix those two things first. And so that's usually save up. You may not be able to put a reverse osmosis on your whole home, but you can get one for the countertop.

you know, and do those types of things. And then there's, there's air filters. There's so many companies now they're waking up to this. And so that would be kind of the first steps. And then I tell people change your cooking where that is, you're also ingesting things there. So don't, you don't need to be cooking with scratch Teflon or plastic switch to stainless steel. There's several brands that, you know, here in the States, we have one called Caraway and all pan. So there's several different ones that you can use.

But good old stainless steel and cast iron can be your first step. And then switch out the things you're using. Like, are you flipping your eggs with a plastic spatula? You know, get a wooden one, get a metal one, get something different. So start there. I like to have people switch to glass water bottles pretty soon. Stop drinking out of these like cheapo plastic water bottles that you can bend and that get heated up and leach plastic into your water.

Yeah, yeah. Metal glass, anything like that. And then look at what you're putting on yourself. There's so much trash in our beauty products, and this is especially bad here in the States. The European countries are way better in a lot of ways, but even so, fragrances and all these plastics and all this crazy stuff,

get an app. Here in the states we have one called Yuca and there's another one called Think Dirty. I don't know if you guys have some good ideas for where you are, but start scanning your products. Are you rubbing aluminum deodorant on your armpits that's right next to your lymph system and will absorb everything rapidly? Are you spraying perfume without what's going to get absorbed into your skin? We have to understand your skin is your largest organ.

And so whatever you're putting on your skin can get direct access to your bloodstream pretty quickly. And so what makeup are you using? Are you using skincare at night that you're rubbing all over your face and then you're sleeping with this, you know, this layer of, of, of junky ingredients. And so those are my like top three for sure.

So we don't even know how many products we put on our face in the morning. If you put on makeup, it ends up being like 20 or 30 or 40. Easy. Easy, yeah. With all these, you know, we do whatever to look nice. I know. And we also have to look out for the children because they are even more... Exposed. Yeah, and fragile than we are. How do you do that with your children?

Yeah. And this became very personal for me because my, my, my biological daughter was born with a congenital defect that nobody had the answer for. And so it really, really scared me. And at the time I was not, I was conscientious of this stuff, but this was about three years ago before I really had a huge idea of what was going on. Your first child will always get the body burden because your body, that's one way of getting rid of a lot of the toxins is through breast milk.

It's one of the excretion methods. It's kind of gross, but it's true. And then your, so your first child takes on most of the toxins that you've been exposed to. And so one thing I'd really recommend for people that are thinking about having a child, or maybe it's your first child or even a second or third, really spend a lot of time working on this before you get pregnant, because your bot, your baby will be exposed to that stuff. And so it's kind of the same stuff. Like I, number one, I think

breastfeeding is the one of the first things you can do to help really set your baby off on a good start. But look what you're rubbing on them. Are you bathing them in soap that's washing off their skin microbiome every day? Are you putting these scented lotions and products and all these things on you? Are you putting things on yourself? And then when you hold your baby, it's rubbing off on your baby. You have to understand they're smaller and then they have lesser detox methods and they have a lot of absorption. They're able to absorb a lot. And so

All those things are really, really important. One, a couple of things that I prioritize with my child is I bought organic, you know, non-tox bedding. I made sure that the bassinet that we use in the crib mattress and things like that were non-tox. And then I also made sure all of our bedding was non-tox because our infant ended up sleeping with us a little bit. And so I didn't want them exposed, her exposed to any of that stuff.

as well. And then looking at some of the foods you start them on, right? So sometimes we're exposed through toxins through our food. And so if you're not buying, I prioritize buying organic, especially if it's going in my six month old's mouth. And so those are some ways that you can do it too. I like to buy dairy, either raw and organic is my preferences. Same thing with meat. Are we getting high quality? And I know this is not always feasible for some. It may not be in the budget or whatever. Just do the best you can. Start where you can start.

But those would be my suggestions. And then, you know, even down to like, am I bathing my child in?

reverse osmosis water that's from my house, or am I bathing them with the tap water that I know that they're going to absorb? So, you know, things to think about for sure. Very good. We will absolutely think about this. But we call these chemicals obesogens. How do they affect us so that they make us fat? Yeah, yeah. What happens to our hormones?

Yeah. It's obesogenic and there's so many, I mean, we could do a five hour podcast on all the different labels and chemicals, but essentially they're all hormonal. So they work in all hormonal mechanistic ways. So either they reduce insulin or they increase insulin. So you're having this insulin resistant effects. A lot of these hormones will act

or be recognized as the body as different hormones. I mean, a lot of these chemicals, so like we call them zine estrogens. So there are these fragrances and products and then our body doesn't understand what they are and it thinks it's estrogen. So a lot of times you'll see this with people that have very high estrogen to progesterone ratios. That can be a good indicator that someone's body burden is getting really high, but it's all hormonal. They'll build up. A lot of these chemicals too can mess with leptin and ghrelin.

So leptin and ghrelin are your hunger and satiation hormones. And so sometimes people that are exposed to a lot of these toxic chemicals really have a hard time managing their intake, their food intake. They're just constantly craving. They're constantly hungry. They're constantly struggling with a lot of that. So most of it is hormonal. We know estrogen dominance, which is kind of what I explained when the body

recognizes chemicals as estrogen has direct links with fibroids and endometriosis and breast cancer and all these different things. And so it's mostly hormonal. And then you'll have some direct toxic effects, like some heavy metals and things like that will have some direct like toxicants to organs and things like that. But it really comes down to a lot of these things just really, really mess with your hormones or mimic hormones. And so your body doesn't know which is real and which is a chemical.

But how about fructose? Why is this a driver of weight gain as an opsinogen?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So fructose and high fructose corn syrup came out like, I don't know how many years ago, but it has been a massive, massive health burden. And it's what they use in soda. It's what they use in a lot of these processed desserts and candies and things like that. There is some degree of fructose in unhealthy foods like agave nectar and things like that, but it really drives fat storage in the liver. And so you'll see a lot of people that are struggling with this or not

digesting or not in a healthy metabolic place with fructose or high fructose corns or get fatty liver. It's called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and we're seeing it in children. I've had a client with a child that was as young as three with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Yeah, it's horrible. I don't want to say done that to yourself because it's not always the child's fault obviously, but

that that's scary for the long-term health of that individual. Are they going to be compromised long-term? Maybe, possibly, you know, and so that, that, those are some of the scary things and it's cheap. So it's very cheap to produce. It's very cheap and easy. It's also very addictive. So it sets off a lot of those dopamine

rewards in the brain. And so it tastes good. It feels good in a lot of ways. And so that's what keeps people coming back for more. And for me, it's like, why have we not had strong legislation against this? As soon as we knew that it would, we've known for years that it is extremely problematic. And I'm talking mostly about high fructose corn syrup, because like I said, fruits and some other things contain fructose. But if you're in a insulin resistant state, that can be a problem.

How about all the artificial sweeteners? Are they the same? Verdict is still out. For me, I'm a bit of a pessimist when it comes to artificial sweeteners. There's a lot of controversial evidence, but for me, it's always questionable. Anything made by humans and

and advertise this food is always questionable. And so I have a hard stance. I don't do Splenda. I don't do Aspartame. I don't do Ace K. I don't do a lot of those fake sweeteners because I don't know, but there is enough evidence in animal studies that it's like, okay, well, if it does this here, why is it messing me up? And then there's a pretty wealth of information in regards to gut health.

and we have barely scratched the surface on gut health. So I think anything that could potentially mess with your gut is a no, no for me. And so, and then for others, we know that these sweeteners are sometimes 800 times the sweetness of regular sugar. And so you'll, you'll switch people off sugar, but then they'll switch to these artificial sweeteners. And now they're having these wild cravings because the sweetness level is so high and the dopamine reward system is so high

that they're never satisfied. And so I think there's a lot of problems with artificial sweeteners. And when I talk about artificial, I'm not necessarily throwing stevia or monk fruit under the bus. I even think some of the sugar alcohols that are natural, like allulose, could potentially be okay. But I do try to steer clear of the chemical

non-nutritive artificial sweeteners. And not to mention the vegetable oils and the ultra-processed food that would really, the chemicals there would mess up our gut health, everything as well, and the hormones.

Oh, 100%. And I think, yeah, it's like sugar and seed oils. If people can get those two things out of their diet, their health will improve immensely. And there's so much debate. I don't know how it is for you guys over there. But in the United States, people are so torn about seed oils. And it's another one of those things for me. One, we know that there's clear evidence about it causing insulin resistance.

we know that there's clear evidence about, I wouldn't say as clear, but inflammatory processes. But even if you just look down from a common sense level of how it's made, what's added to it, it's bleached, it's refined. It's just like, why are we arguing about this? Y'all are really trying to convince me that this is food. And it's just like, people will go to their grave about this stuff of like seed oils are fine. And it's like, okay, but I really don't want something that has to be bleached

processed and can stay in the sun for months on end and not turn rancid in my body. And so people just take this way out of proportion and get so like PubMed this and NIH this. It's like, why are we making this so complicated? It wasn't food. And I go back to my stance about we humans have just done a really poor job of creating food across the board. Everything we put our hands on and turn into food,

usually ends up being trash for our bodies. And so I take it pretty simple. And it's like, yeah, we can argue the science over it. I'm pretty convinced that the science shows these problems. But it's just like from a common sense level, we tend to mess food up very bad. And so anything that we manipulate and make is a no for me as well.

Absolutely. Very common sense. That's what we need here. But something that's really scary is that these Obetogen can mess with our genes and actually that our offspring is going to be affected by this. How does this work?

Yeah. So it comes down to mutations and snips and all these different things. And we're seeing this, we're seeing this actively happen in, you know, children that are born with problems already. And you're starting to see it happen at younger, younger ages and all of this. And it just comes down to DNA damage, right? And these things that we're exposing ourselves to when they mess with your genes, then your, your children's

chances of having some sort of change is higher. And so we're seeing this with unknown etiologies for a lot of the spectrum disorders like autism and ADHD and a lot of the mood disorders. We're seeing it in people with chronic obesity and diabetes, all the chronic diseases. We're also seeing it a lot with autoimmune diseases. You know, we're having all these mystery illnesses of like, oh, well we don't, you know, most people can't tell you we're autoimmune

disease comes from or have no idea. And that's not a good enough answer for me. Like there's a problem that my, there's a reason my body is not acting as it should give me the answer for it. And I think that this is absolutely one of the answers is we're being exposed to these things that is damaging ourselves. You know, here in the, here in the States, glyphosate is a thing. And the fact that we can still go into home Depot or Lowe's and buy it is

appalling, is shocking. My neighbors, and I hate to throw them under the bus, but my kids were playing outside the other day and my neighbor comes out spraying Roundup in their front yard. And I'm sitting here and I pull my kids inside and I'm like, but it's like, people just have no protection. He's got it plain on his hands. And it's like, why is this available? It's windy. My kids can breathe that. There's just all these problems that we just

cannot solve at a root level that is turning into exactly what you're saying. We're having children that are born with things that we can't figure out why. I think to some degree, my biological daughter, she was born with this congenital problem and nobody could give me an answer. I'm sure it was some sort of exposure or whatever. I grew up on a farm and my grandfather would let me help spray for weeds.

You know, and I look back now and I'm like, cringe, this is terrible. But you know, you don't you don't know what you don't know until we start getting the word out. And consumer money always drives demand. Right. And so until we stop buying the stuff and so we start demanding

safer products, nothing will ever change. And so I put the responsibility on regulators and government officials, but it's also on us as consumers to just stop buying it. And I know it's painful because it can hit our wallet, but that was a very long-winded way of answering that question. But it's just, it's a mess.

It's a mess, but this has been doom and gloom. Let's talk about some solutions. What can we do to detox and how can we help our body get these obesogens out? Oh, great question. So number one is opening your detox pathways. So your liver needs to be functioning well. That comes back down to like the fructose in your diet and your gallbladder. You need to be producing bile to get rid of this stuff.

The first step in solutions is avoiding exposure, period. If you don't have to detox it, the better off you are. If it hasn't injured your body, the better off you are. So first thing is open your eyes to things that could be happening, like my neighbor is spraying glyphosate on his weeds while my kids are outside.

that's like things like that. Or, you know, are you going to public places and not bringing a water bottle full of water and being forced to drink out of the tap? So start opening your eyes up to all of the daily exposures that you have and start there with prevention by a long shot, start switching out your products. And I'm not saying

go wild and throw away everything and then spend $500 trying to replace everything. But as you run out of stuff, buy a new one that's clean. You can look on ewg.org. I like that website for clean beauty products, like I mentioned those apps. I'm sure they're available to you guys as well. Yes, they are. Great, great. And so start doing this stuff and start with the things that you can change quickly. Start with the things that your children are being exposed to.

Opening your detox pathways. So there's some herbs that can be helpful there. Any of your bitters can be helpful for your liver Just changing your diet will help your liver detox and then sweating I really encourage people you must sweat and you must poop and it's not super pleasant but if you're not sweating and you're not pooping you're you're gonna have buildup in your system and so

especially for my ladies that think it's normal to not poop every day, it's not. You need to go to the bathroom every single day. You need to, you ideally sweat every single day. And if you're not one to sweat easily, or it takes a lot of a workout, or like I'm in Phoenix where it's not super humid, so sometimes it's hard to break a sweat, get access to a sauna, buy a sauna blanket, go to a gym that has a sauna or buy a sauna package, do something where you can sweat, even just, you know, turning on a hot shower, whatever.

opening up your pores and getting rid of as much as possible. But the way that we excrete things is through breast milk, through urination, through pooping and sweating. Those are the four ways. And so you have to open those up if you want to see long-term detox. I'm a huge fan of the sauna. I try to get into a sauna three, four times a week.

for that particular reason. We did a quite heavy detox. Sona detox. Sona detoxification for a week or so. And we had to take a lot of supplements afterwards, like chlorella binders to get them out. Do you use those too? Totally, yeah. Binders are great, activated charcoal, anything like that. I also didn't mention fasting. In a lot of ways, fasting can be very helpful for

for detoxification because you have to understand fat cells will store a lot of this. And so fat, if you're overweight or have issues with obesity, the likelihood of you having these toxicants in your adipose cells or your fat cells is pretty high. And so I encourage people to take it slow. Sometimes people, when they start losing weight fast, they'll start feeling really, really bad. And sometimes that's the reason why is because you're expelling these

Toxicants from your fat cells and it's it's reacting and you're having react and so just understand that as well So sometimes I don't recommend people if they're if they're have a lot of weight to lose to immediately start doing extremely long fast Solely because it will release a lot in the system, especially if you're breastfeeding and things like that But yes binders are great. Like you mentioned chlorella spirulina things, you know activated charcoal anything like that can be helpful

with those fasting protocols and sauna detox. How about getting outside and earthing and walking barefoot and enjoying the sun? Yeah, I love it. I love it. Yeah, I think that's one I should have mentioned that. And when you're asking me about why we're having these problems, but yeah, we're so we're so devoid of nature. Nowadays, half of us work in a building with no windows.

You know, sometimes people don't even get outside for 10 to 15 minutes, and that is wreaking havoc on our circadian rhythm is based on the sunlight. All of these things, we have just become so separated from nature, and that is not our biological meaning. We need that. We need the sun. We need stillness. You know, nowadays with the smartphones, we can't even go 10, 15 minutes without getting

sucked into this dopamine high with our smartphones. And it's just, I mean, we could go on for, I love the book, Dopamine Nation, if you guys haven't read it. Yeah, it's fantastic. And so all of these things add up to health long-term. And I think just being willing to unplug from a lot of that and prioritizing

what we come from and the sunlight and sleep and stress, all of that just plays a huge role in long-term health. This has been amazing. You're actually going to speak at Hack Your Health. We wish we could come, but we are joining online, so at least we can see you. But where can people reach you?

Yes. Thank you guys for having me. This has been such a pleasure. Everybody can reach me at the Ketogenic Nutritionist on all platforms. I'm on TikTok. I have a podcast, not nearly as good as y'all's. I just have a few out. So y'all find me there. And of course, Instagram is my main platform.

And I try to answer as many questions in my DM. So if anybody has questions or ideas or thoughts or anything like that, y'all please reach out. Again, it's been an honor to spend some time with you guys this morning. Thank you very much Tempo. Thank you so much. Yeah, you bet. Really, really great. But do you still take clients?

Oh yeah, I take clients all the time. Yeah, so I have a little bit of a cap just because I'm in med school at the time. But yeah, I still take tons of clients. I have like 100 on my roster right now. So it's good. Yeah, it's good stuff. I love it. So that we know we can reach out from from Norway. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Thank you guys. Okay, enjoy the rest of your day. Bye bye. Thank you.

We would like to thank our sponsor for the episodes in May, Skinome. Their skin care series contains natural ingredients that are experienced as food and clean nutrition for the skin. Maybe you have heard about the bacteria Lactobacillus rauteri, which originally comes from breast milk. This is something we can now get in the skin care series from Skinome. Fantastic health-giving effects on the skin, since these bacterial strains seem anti-inflammatory.

you

We biohackers love to work by reducing both inflammation and irritation. And we like that our body recognizes it with daily buttering, that we play together just like nature plays together with us and with our health. By using products with this bacteria, you will get a good dose of living bacteria that not only feels good, but also moisturizes, reduces redness and strengthens the skin barrier. And I really like the smell.

It feels so healthy. And after just three weeks of use, clinical studies show more moisture, better skin texture, evolution of fine lines and wrinkles, and less pores. So, there are good reasons to include Skinome in your biohacking every day with a healthy skin microbiome. More glow, better elasticity, and resistance to mild environmental toxins.

For a woman, Alette, she is just, I mean, first of all, you can press a button, and then all the knowledge comes rushing out. She has so much experience, and a lot to share, and a lot of commitment, and no, really a fantastic inspirer. But we knew that from social media, and we have heard her in several places. Yes, she was, what I perhaps liked best was how reflective she was, and how

She was not dogmatic about anything, she was just completely clear that she wanted to help. She has her own strategies and what she had done has helped her, but she also sees that we are all different and have different paths to the goal. And it seems like she uses all the resources she can to help patients.

Absolutely, and as you said, it was just screwing around and talking. Yes, isn't that right? But it's a bit nice too, because when you have so much knowledge, we don't have to sit and interrupt all the time. She can talk a lot, and she came up with a lot of nice advice that is easy to grasp, because you can, in a way, make sure to eliminate a little, and drink clean water,

Take care of your chemicals at home. These are some of the starting points, and this with carbs is also very important. And we see that she has been on a keto diet for a long time, but she has moderated it, so it looks a bit more like a Mediterranean diet today. A ketogenic Mediterranean diet, to put it that way, because it is absolutely only the good carbohydrates in the form of

Stimulus-rich vegetables and green vegetables and some fruit she eats. So she still favours the lifestyle, but it seems like you're a bigger swinger than he is. And I really liked when she talked about how she eats around her cycle, and how she puts in carbohydrates in relation to training. She talked about being intuitive. It was very exciting to hear.

Yes, and it's also a bit funny that she's a bit stricter, maybe a few days a week. And it's like that, our daily routine is that we're not the same seven days a week. We eat a little differently on Monday than we do on Saturday night. Because then you want to be with your family.

But I also think that the variation she is talking about is important. And when it comes to PCOS, there is a large spectrum of how you feel within the field of the syndrome. Not everyone is the same. And I also liked when she brought up this with cortisol, because if you have an increased stress level, then you should perhaps treat this syndrome a little differently. Not so much fixed, not so much extreme things.

So she has to treat patients one at a time and see that we are biologically different.

Jeg er glad man kan fortsatt ha veiledning på online. Selv om hun sitter i Finix eller Sona, så går det an å få hjelp av henne, for hun virker som om hun sier, det var deilig å høre på henne snakke. Jeg tror kanskje hvis jeg hadde hatt et syndrom med seg, eller at jeg hadde dristet meg til å ha tatt en online coaching med henne, jeg synes hun er så troverdig. Men det hjelper jo på at hun nå blir en medisinsk lege i tillegg.

Det er noe med den titlen du får og det ansvaret du bærer som lege i tillegg til å være en biohiker. Hun er jo superpopulær overalt i verden og fyker rundt og holder foredrag. Vi vet at hun har lyst til å komme til Norge, for det er noe hun ser på, noe hun er nysgjerrig på, som vi har i Norge, som de ikke har i USA. Men det får bli en annen historie. La oss snakke litt om de tiltakene hun tipser oss om.

Ja, i forhold til disse obesogene, hvis dere også blir litt nervøse, så har vi faktisk ganske mye makt og mye vi kan gjøre. Og det første du snakket om, som er kanskje enklest å starte med, er jo at maten får ryddet opp. Spis ren, hel mat.

Det var det først hun snakket om, gjerne økologisk selvfølgelig, og gressforet. Nå er vi sikkert litt heldigere i Norge i forhold til kjemikaler enn det de er i USA generelt. Her får man jo kjøpt mye som er lokalt og sånne ting, så det er ikke så vanskelig for oss å begynne der.

I den forbindelse er det lurt å vaske grønnsakene, for man vet det aldri. Mange ganger kan man være sånn sløve og bare kaste dem opp i salaten, eller tenke at alt er tilberedt fra butikken inn i disse plastposene. Men vaske grønnsakene, for man vet ikke om det er noen sprøytemidler på dem.

Så det med ren mat, og det er tilbake til hvordan vi er naturlige vesener, at vi faktisk kan reversere så mange symptomer bare med maten vi spiser. Og innenfor det matspektret er det spesielt dette med frukthose, sukker, vegetabiliske oljer, ultraprosessert mat.

Holde seg unna de dårlige carbsene, karbohydratene og alkohol, men at ingen bør drikke. Og dette med kaffe, at hun har gått over til sånne stopp-kaffer, mushroom coffees, som vi også er veldig glad i. Så det var også fint. Men videre, en ting som jeg vet er bra, det er svette.

I dag har det vært så fint vær og varmt på Core Balance. Folk kom inn og sa at de skulle svette skikkelig på megaformene i dag. Det er så bra! Vi har akkurat snakket med Temple, og vi er full av inspirasjon til å svette enda mer. Det gikk ut druppe våte fra studio nå i dag, og jeg tenker at det er bra. Vi må svette mye.

Vi sier ja til litt setting hver dag, og når vi snakker om setting så er det jo også dette vannet vi drikker. Det går an, og selv om vi bor i Norge sjekker vi vannkvaliteten, og det er noe man kan gjøre med det også, enkelt og greit, med å filtrere vannet.

Når det gjelder svetter kan man også bruke sauna. Vi hadde et par episoder, en på norsk og en på engelsk, med Daniel Root som snakket om detoks i saunaen. Det har vi testet også, så det er muligheter fordi disse kjemikaliene fester jo på fettergående våre.

Ved å detokse i såna med en del supplemanger og kosttilskudd kan man få de trukket ut av kroppen, men det krever sin protokoll. 233 er den engelske, og så er det 34 som er den norske. Da kan dere gå tilbake og lytte til dem hvis dere vil ta opp såna-protokollen igjen og prøve litt på det for å kvitte oss med

tommetaller, kjemikalier og alt som kommer fra make-up og sånt. Så det er jo et annet tema hun tok opp med sminke og sånne ting. Rydde opp i sminken din, og hun må ikke sånn kaste alt du har og kjøpe ny. Hun må slik bruke opp det du har, men når du skal bytte ut, så finn et merke som er bedre. Og det er jo det vi har holdt på med hele tiden. Bytte ut ting. Ikke sant? Da vi snakket om det, hva har du på kjøkkenet? Har du brukt plast hele tiden? Sånn ta og bytte ut når ting er ødelagt.

Det har vi snakket mye om, med plastfjeler og sånt. Alt forbyttet ut.

Og disse evighetskjemikaliene som man finner i en enkel takeaway kaffekopp som du får på kaffestedene rundt omkring, den varmen fra kaffen trekker til seg de kjemikaliene som vi drikker og får inn i kroppen, og de er der for ever. Ja, og så likte jeg så godt når du snakket om jording og skog, og hun ble bare helt sånn euforisk. Ja, ja, ja, jeg er så glad for at du sier det. Vi må jo være ute, og det slår vi en slag for. Hånder ut.

Vi har hatt episode med Karoline Heierdal og snakket masse om vasking. Det var et felt vi var inne om. Ikke bare det at du skal bytte ut produktene dine, men rydde opp hjemme ditt. Få bort støv.

Ja, produkter som du ikke trenger bruker du opp, eller i alle fall de med sånne store warningskilt på, de kan man kanskje ta ut. Og så er det så mange gode tips på hvordan man klarer å fjerne flekker uten å bruke kjemikalien likevel. Tenk det! Ja, så vi håper dere har fått litt, kanskje ikke akkurat inspirasjon, men at dere har fått litt erfaringer og fått litt påfyll av ting vi kan gjøre selv, og ikke bare bli kjemperedde.

Dette greier vi dere. Dette kommer til å gå helt fint. Så gå inn og sjekk ut Temple Stewart sin Insta der. Den er altså så morsom og full av herlige reels. Da ønsker vi dere en nydelig uke, og vi høres igjen snart. Track it! Hack it!
