THE most common question sent into me is about weight loss, more accurately fat loss. My short answer to the is a month focused on a protein sparing fast. We've developed the most comprehensive method to do this anywhere. we call it Precision PSMF with omega balancing. I believe it is the closest we can get to our ancestral diet we have ever been. …

High Purines food are potentially a very uncomfortable problem for many of us. Directly associated elevated uric acid and from there to an array of painful medical conditions ranging from gout to various neurological conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's. So what the heck are 'high purine foods' and what is the problem with them. Let's talk!…

For all of us on Keto, we have come to appreciate saturated fats if not love them. However in the context of other factors such as your omega 6/3 ratio, that possible combination could affect your very negatively as measured with your Uric acid levels. Time to review this context in light of this bigger picture. —————————COME SAY HI!!! —————————— P…

If there was a topic no one wants to talk about in regards to 'Keto' it has to be about Gout. If you're going to open up that topic than you also have to talk about the lab test Uric Acid. Then it does become a 'gnarly' issue to discuss. Let's get into it whether you Gout or not you most certain need to know about Uric Acid if you are consider Keto…

Most people don't hear of the dramatic effects a ketogenic lifestyle provides to your microbiome, you gut health. I came to Keto through my personal research back in 2012 looking for something to help my own gut health crisis of UC and crohns. I was curious if the 'butyrate' that was produced in ketosis was similar to the butyrate that is the 'pref…

On the face of it that sounds negative. Not at all. I view low carb (nutritional keto) as a requirement for health yet over 50 percent of people who seek professional medical guidance for implementing this specific way of dietary life DO NOT perceive any benefit. No weight loss, no metal clarity, nada. Therefore, having know this for the last 4 yea…

I know it is difficult to know what is true and accurate information from what is professional marketing hype. This podcast is about a very special application of using saturated fats to support metabolic decline in not only so many conditions and disorders but for yourself personally to sharpen your mind and mental capabilities. —————————COME SAY …

Is there anything worse than 'losing your mind' or rather your cognitive ability, or worse yet to watch someone else lose theirs that you care about like your spouse or parents or grandparents. There is something you can do and it IS worth knowing about. —————————COME SAY HI!!! —————————— Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episodes Facebook…

Uric acid is a vital, yet to many insignificant, lab to have done... specially if you are on keto or con It can reveal the degree you are inclined to soon be intense pain with a gout attack, the degree you are inclined to become or are Bi-polar, the degree you are or inclined to become diabetic or pre-diabetic. In short you need to know what this l…

Let's be real blunt here: Can eating liver kill you. Is it Toxic??? Seriously, that is the view today among nutritional counselors and dieticians. Are they wrong ? It is an easy fear-based accusation to make because everything 'can be toxic' it always about the dose, the amount you consume over time ... of anything. Let's discuss why this hysteria …

After nearly 8 years of living as a life style with the ketogenic diet, I have a recommendation on how to improve your results for both mental acuity and fat lose: add food high in choline which are complete compatible with a ketogenic diet. They are primarily liver and egg yolks. Listen to why that might be something you would want to try. ———————…

After 8 years of being, and staying on a ketogenic diet, I speculate as to the benefits of keto seen through the eyes of one's personal deficiency. In other words, are the benefits of being on a ketogenic diet greatest for those who were most deprive of, or deficient in, ketones in general. It is a great question to ask and explore. It values metab…

It's harsh to consider that such an event could well ensure globally for some many. It's not the 'how to improve your health' kind of information that is easy to discuss, yet it is completely likely according to the Health Agencies that work with indigenous peoples world wide. This begs the urgent question of: Why is this population of people so af…

I bet you thought it was ENTIRELY about the carbs you were eating that were responsible for your weight gain, or slide into mild cognitive impairment. Well, you're not entirely wrong, however, having lots of carbs puts an increased demand on your ability use and produce choline. High carbs are one of the reasons for the choline deficiency, the othe…

This has been asked for often, that is what can I expect to happen with my labs when I start 'keto'. That is a very broad question, so I have ignored in favor of a more specific narrower topic. However, it is time to take a shot at creating an overview of what one can expect to happen with their labs. One central theme to this answer is so so much …

This podcast 's topic is one of my most important in revealing what is blocking most of us metabolically from achieving success with a ketogenic diet and why. —————————COME SAY HI!!! —————————— Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episodes Facebook Group about Keto: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/ BLOG: https://ketonaturopath.…

Nothing like learning of a friend's avoidable death, and seeing the devastation it creates in other people lives that were close to him. What I'm referring to is that I Lost a friend to covid these last few weeks… just when we all thought the worst of it had past us by. Like the last soldier to die in a war after the end of the hostilities, but bef…

In part two of this interview with Dr. Artemis Simopoulos we go deeper into understanding the omega 6/3 ratio and how to use this, and how many people and doctors don't know what this means. We talked about her focus on 'Precision Nutrition' nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics and why those are so very important to know about. What kind of oil she puts…

We often use the expression in research, medicine and science that we 'stand on the shoulders of giants' which is to mean that all of what we know today was because of those bold doctors, scientists, that did the work that we now accept as true. What isn't often added is that those 'Giants', the pioneers were publicly ridiculed, and disagreed with …

I was lucky to be able to talk to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos about her life's work on essential fatty acids and genetics. She has been the foundation for much of what we know about the importance of omega 3, and the omega 6: 3 ratio and why that is so important. She her works, of over 365 scientific papers, and having edited over 50 books in her field …

If you have had the privilege of ever seeing someone transform their physical appearance by doing a protein sparing modified fast, then you will be wondering, as I am. How can that be possible. I talk about why and what happens to those people. What if they were finally getting the amount of protein they required, or was it due to all the things th…

Today we’re talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet. The popular (mis)perception of keto We hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do. The truth, however, is that there i…

For some, this is the long a waited topic, conversation, that many feel represents their experience most accurately. It's for the people who have endured the often unnecessary work of getting started with the Ketogenic diet only to have it become a thoroughly frustrating time and effort. For others, this might be too ‘granular’ in terms of talking …

It’s been at least 6 years since we began our journey on the Ketogenic diet. Learned a lot that I didn’t know when we started and the technology has most certainly changed as well. Put both of those together and it is an entirely different world in which to start Keto. I think you’ll get some insight bits of actionable recommendations when you list…

The world of methylation is cracking open wide in its applications to health and longevity. In analysing this recent study I plug in all the variables as if they were me doing participating in their study. By doing that I go to appreciate how thought out this was and how relevant their results were. It wasn't the opinion I started out with. I becam…

Clearly this is a message no one wants to hear who is addicted to needed only positive news to the point they avoid reality at all costs. I'm not just laying out facts you have probably never heard before, but how to change that reality for yourselves quickly and permanently. So if you are a person in need of changing their heath situation and is o…

Now that you have learned about 'going keto' and perhaps you have seen some benefits and have the realization that you have the power to change your life dramatically, let me add an layer to what you know and are doing. It's time to add a few more actionable steps to take that will create even more change in your life and that is about glutathione …

To think the obvious is now being research: nutrition and metal health. Processed foods are then new malnutrition without starving. You are not calorie deprived, you are nutrient (aka Micronutrient) deprived and that result in longterm disorders that can be reverse or severely improved if addressed in time. Time to crack open the public awareness o…

Most of us have heard about Glutathione and N-acetyl cysteine as 'natural' antioxidant support supplements. But what you probably don't know is why they have become extraordinarily important over the last 50 years. Time to know why that is and what you can do about it to put the odds in your favor. LISTEN TO OR WATCH NEXT: The YouTube of NAC/Glutat…

Whether you believe it or not, your life ... rather your ability to live (an ideally healthy life) is limited to a few absolutely vital factors of your biology, your metabolism, oxygen, clean unpolluted water, and your ability to produce and have adequate amount of glutathione in your body. It is the definitive antioxidant and it is under assault f…

There are few things that are as simple to do and will profoundly improve your heath as finding out what your omega 6-3 ratio and then addressing it by changing your diet. Not only has Omega 6 increase over the the last 5 decades caused various condition to rise but has literally created 3 -4 separate and identifiable epidemics, from obesity to alz…

However you want to refer the this passing pandemic it is clear the most metabolically compromised were the ones who have suffered the most. This is both in terms of death rates and those that are consider 'long haulers'. Obesity is high on the list of those who are metabolically compromised. This begs the question as to why, and why is there a con…

So what it the Big Fat Lie about Keto and Protein Sparing Modified fast? It comes in 3 parts: 1. Fear of saturated fats has been completely reversed that's to many phenomenal researchers 2. High fat and low carb Keto is really not only not necessary but arguably not recommended unless you have epilepsy 3. The fat you use cannot be processed omega 6…

Clearly the issue of omega 6 to omega 3 ratio has been a topic for as least since I started med school in the early 1990s, last century now. This begs the question: if it has been an issue for this long than why haven't doctors been doing the very inexpensive lab test that would show this, the omega panel? We'll I have been doing that and have been…

Did you know that Samoans living in New Zealand have an incredibly high incidence type 1 diabetes. It's an auto-immune disorder as opposed to type II which is life style induced . A pediatrician who practiced in New Zealand was so concerned about this he began looking into it with his own patience. His Name was Dr. Robert Elliot. Dr. Elliot died in…

This has always been a popular topic: does the protein you eat increase your blood glucose levels. "Spike your blood sugar levels" is what is used by those who want you to fear protein and become hyper vigilant your diet if not neurotic. The relative truth of that statement depends on just one variable, and that is the amount of carbohydrates you c…

Over a year ago I attended a lowcarb USA conference where Dr. Rob Cywes gave a talk. Can't remember what his talk was about but he a statement that the protein you eat turns to sugar. I thought that was incorrect an so waiting in the question line to ask if he would clarify that for me. That didn't change anything. I thought then, and still do that…

Did you know that the 'auto-pilot' mechanism actually never indicates whether or not the plane is on the scheduled route. It only works by notifying the pilot that the plane is off course and needs to be corrected and gives the direction back to where it should be. but while it is on course, and everything is working fine, there is not indication t…

Seems like in life nothing is a straight line is it? Except possibly when looking back in hindsight and then you can see how things line up, how your experiences were additive and sequential in just the right magically difficult way. So it was for me, bankrupt, dying (certainly my wife thought I was 'passing on') grieving over family losses, and ex…

If there was one question that people ask me over and over it is how do I loose weight so I won't have to do it again ever. People ask because everyone has a plan, a program, something you should do and believe it's the only way to achieve weight loss. In this pod cast listen to the outline of the 3 basic step that everyone needs to do metabolicall…

The misinformation and myths around dietary protein required for optimal health are everywhere. One claim meant to scare those on a ketogenic from having what they consider is too much protein, says that it will 'spike your blood glucose levels. Oh really! Such a claim is now relatively easy to put to bed merely by letting people decide for themsel…

When the scales of your life tip just a little too far and your health begins to unravel fast before you realize what's happening you, it's seem like it's mere folly to even think there's a way out. This podcast is about what it took to come back from a near fatal health collapse in my life. Spoiler alert: The answer is work, persistance, and not l…

As life leads us all in one direction only, getting older, some things happen to us metabolically whether we want or not and that is obvious aging. In terms of Muscle mass, muscle synthesis, protein requirements some factors are becoming clearer about what it is we must do as we get older both individually and collectively. First, our protein requi…

Dr. Karl asks the question: How did we get here, a nation, a country, a culture, that is growing weaker at a younger and younger age. In the US., an estimated 53% of men and 43% of women over 80 are sarcopenic Most adults in the US achieve their peak muscle mass sometime in their 30s. People who are physically inactive can lose as much as 3 -5% of …

Most of us understand what it means to be a carnivore, as a human or an animal. Being an obligate carnivore, however, requires something completely different. If a cat does not get all its nutritional requirements met, it will become ill and die. Almost all cat food is processed, and that initiates a prolonged and gradual nutritional deficiency for…

It is simple enough to know that everyone needs protein. Yet, the protein that people are consuming has been decreasing over the years. It is particularly low in adults over the age of 50. To compensate, people are consuming more carbohydrates. Unfortunately, most of those carbohydrates are refined and processed. A simple change that will create a …

Something that nobody is talking about today is the mental health crisis in the US that was exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. A low-carb keto diet and genomic testing can do a lot to change that situation easily. Now is the time to start! Today, Dr. Karl will be going over the serious issue of mental illness in the US (and worldwide) that appears …

Seven years ago, Dr. Karl started looking into how to purchase C8 MCT Oil in liquid form because it was not available anywhere. He thought it could help to heal his gut from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and render his impending surgery unnecessary. And it did! That made him look even deeper into why it worked so well. He learned all about…
