Dr. Karl Goldkamp Podcasts

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…

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. …

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 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…

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…

Did you know that many blood sugar problems (dysglycemia) are closely related to psychological conditions, like bipolar, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder? It is also almost unbelievable that approximately 60% of people with diabetes have some type of mental disorder, and some people have known genetic SNPs that predispose them to schizo…

In Dr. Karl’s view, Dr. Gaby is singularly the most authoritative person when it comes down to what we know about supplements and their specific applications for various conditions. Dr. Gaby spent almost 40 years studying, accumulating, and applying various supplements. He has become the definitive source for determining what we know about suppleme…

This is the final part of the interview that Dr. Karl did with Dr. Alan Gaby, an internationally renowned researcher and physician who has focused on nutritional medicine. Dr. Gaby has been called the “Father of Nutritional Medicine”. In this episode, they talk about DHEA and the results it has when used appropriately. They explain what labs genera…

People who have accomplished much in their lives have often said that they stood on the shoulders of the giants who laid the groundwork for their discoveries and accomplishments. Dr. Karl unequivocally states that Dr. Gaby dramatically changed his interest in and his ability to practice nutritional medicine. Dr. Gaby’s life work is his Nutritional …

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Naturopath! If you want to know what is true and accurate, well-researched, and effective in terms of supplements for a given condition, there is only one reference that can offer you that. It is the eight-and-a-half pound book, Nutritional Medicine, and stands as a definitive resource second to none. Nutritio…

The Överkalix study could be one of the most important studies ever done to show that some of the changes passed down to the next generation have little to do with one’s parents’ DNA. Those changes are more about the stresses that one’s parents’ grandparents (including the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of the fathers) experienced pre-puberty.…

40,000 babies were born during the Dutch winter famine of 1944-1945. It was the first time in documented history that all the details of the effects of famine could get followed for generations to come. For those pregnancies that survived, the results were unexpected in many ways. This episode is about what we learned. Today, Dr. Karl continues to …

Never before in history has there ever been such a well-documented, yet devastating, famine that affected so many people. In the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944-1945, food got shut off for 4.5 million people of all classes for seven months. The caloric intake dropped to 450 calories per person. Then, almost instantaneously after the war ended, everyone…

It’s unbelievable to think that there’s a method to assess your genetic mutations and to support your aberrant mutations that are hypo-functioning and hyper-functioning to create a better metabolic life. That has to do with learning ‘what you are made of’, in terms of your genetic (genome) report, and seeing what areas of your genes contribute to e…

Whether you refer to the teenagers in your family, your children, or possibly even yourself, everyone’s lives have become very restricted during COVID, and that creates the risk of severe depression. This podcast connects the dots of some things you can do to change that for everybody. Today, Dr. Karl will continue with the idea of GABA versus glut…

The increasing rates of suicide and addiction are serious issues that seldom get discussed publicly, and most people tend to think that there is nothing that can be done about them. Contrary to that is the use of ketones and ketosis to change one’s emotional disposition. That information is serious and important, and it is not difficult to understa…

Long before you come to a formal diagnosis, there is a lot that you can do to improve your situation without the use of any medication. It’s time to look into some basic and some of the less basic things that you can do for yourself, like getting to know about your genome “SNPs”, the light you get exposed to, vitamin D, and getting off carbs as muc…

S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) keeps coming back for many of us every winter, and as we get older, it gets harder for us to deal with it. The risk factors for S.A.D. include being female, living far from the equator, having a family history, and having an MTHFR gene mutation. All of that is true for Dr. Karl, apart from being female. In this …

Dr. Karl first got exposed to genomic mutations (SNPs) back in 2003, when he worked with autistic children. At the time, he thought that he had found correlations (spoiler alert- autism is very multifactorial) with that condition. Then he began requesting other SNP lab tests with his patients. The helpfulness of those tests has not diminished over …

We are bringing you Part 3 of our four-part investigation into how people differ from one another, despite having similar conditions like obesity, fatty liver, infertility, or hormone imbalances. The data that we are covering in this investigation shows us how to help people return to health from their current situation, condition, or disorder. Tod…

In our last episode, we covered the beginning of what we do in this program. Dr. Karl’s intention is for you to get to know the various components personally because he feels that it is reasonable for you to seek out a local physician wherever you live. It is more than likely that you will find a physician in your area who is doing, or at least thi…

Today, Dr. Karl will be covering how to do his 90-days, deep-dive, data-driven program to help people with certain conditions know what is going on with them, and how to treat it. He will discuss four different conditions: infertility, hormone-imbalance, Crohn's disease, and obesity, and explain how people can address and get to understand them mor…

We have another exciting topic today. It is a fascinating ancestral story of Laron’s syndrome, Sephardic Jews, the Spanish Inquisition, a village in Ecuador, and a possible secret to longevity and avoiding cancer. Hint: IGF-1 plays a vital role in all of this. But how? We will be giving you some more information on Laron Syndrome, in addition to th…

We are talking about dairy today. Many conditions are associated with dairy, like prostate and breast cancer, making autism worse, asthma, acne, etc. In this podcast, we will share some factual reasons why that is so and what you can do to fix it. Keto Keto formally means that you have measurable ketones in your bloodstream. People following a keto…

Happy New Year to all our listeners! Today’s podcast is an important one for many people and specifically for the lady who sent Dr. Karl an email all about Lipedema, which he unfortunately lost and was never able to find again. This podcast is about how Dr. Karl would approach things if talking to someone who needed help with Lipedema. His method i…

There is so much noise and intentional misinformation around keto, low carb, and carnivore that people quit before they even start. How my past has lead to creating the safest, most efficient method for long-term weight loss has meant learning to recognize intentionally misleading information and go around it. Based on labs, data tracking, and the …

Not everyone is ‘on the same page' regarding some topics in the Ketogenic diet community. This podcast is about some of those issues. On some of those topics, they have made me reconsider what my perspective is, and frankly, now I no longer think as I did. Listen in and maybe you too will reconsider some of your previous assumptions about the Ketog…

People often ask Dr. Goldkamp about what the “keto rash” is and why they get it. He has never seen it or experienced it himself, so he decided to look into who gets that kind of rash and why. In this episode, Dr. Goldkamp also looks into some new research related to lung improvement with keto and why so many people have reported being able to breat…

Corn oil is like inflammation in a bottle. The problem with it is that it is a high concentration of a very inflammatory fat, linoleic acid, and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fat. In this episode, we finish pulling back the curtain on the Industrial Corn Complex and how it’s ruining your health by compromising your metabolism without you even knowing it.…

Today, we continue with our story about corn. The industrialization of our food supply has resulted in an explosion of calorie-rich, nutrient-poor, and incredibly cheap processed foods. In this episode, we explain how that happened, and we also discuss the consequences. It is a great story that might change your life, so be sure to listen in. The A…

For some, this is the long-awaited 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 a…

We’re taking a whole different direction today. Dr. Goldkamp is going to be doing a series of three podcasts, all to be released separately, around the topic of corn. Most people doing keto increase their fat intake. Using corn oil to do that is not recommended, and if people do use it, they will sorely regret it in many ways. In this podcast, we d…

By now, most people know that cancer is a metabolic disease that thrives on glucose. What people don’t know is that having elevated fasting glucose levels is directly associated with a risk of cancer. So, the higher the glucose levels are, the more likely the risk of getting cancer is. The surprising thing about that is that it has nothing to do wi…
