Freddie Bennett has a fascinating story of highs, all the trappings, tragic loss, devastating lows, and being utterly let down by the traditional "Self Help" industry. Funtime Freddie somehow escaped his downward spiral of drugs and alcohol to becoming a modern day Forest Gump with his endurance pursuits and has truly found his "second mountain". This is a discussion of plateauing on your first mountain - your first main chapter in life. A discussion of reinvention and the catalyst of change. A discussion of taking psychological value from pushing your body to unthinkable extremes. A discussion of finding your centre and your drive, when all the traditional signals don't move you. This episode is for everyone who is succeeding at some level in life, and yet life is without meaning and fulfilment. It's for those that know there is more to life and more to themselves than is currently being expressed, but they just can't put their finger on what is broken, missing or wrong. Plus, Freddie is captivating with his self depreciation, humour, Funtime Freddie antics and brutal honesty.   Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/158-freddiebennett/    The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (10% off coupon OWNIT-2021)   Where to find FREDDIE BENNETT and his work: ▪︎ Instagram - @freddieexplores ▪︎ Website - https://freddiembennett.com   Referenced Content / People: ▪︎ BOOK: The Second Mountain ▪︎ PODCAST: Mike McCastle - Suffering is Your Path to Purposeful Greatness ~Mike McCastle ▪︎ PODCAST: James Ketchell - Life Lessons & Unique Insights from The Ultimate Global Explorer James Ketchell ▪︎ PODCAST: Brian Keane - Brian Keane on his Extreme Endurance Pivot, Social Media Biz & Mental Toughness   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey ▪︎ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content ▪︎ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import ▪︎ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking ▪︎ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

#158: Plateauing, Suffering & Reinvention ~Freddie Bennett

Robb Wolf, the world-renowned nutrition and health expert - known for his bestselling books, top-ranked Podcast, and lectures - joins us to unpack the complexity of deciding what and how to feed the human population. Robb with his former career as a research biochemist, a curious mind, complex problem solving skills and strong debating capability, is wired to getting scientific and deep on big macro issues. He’s known for his direct approach and ability to distill and synthesise information to make the complicated stuff easier to understand. So, in this episode we take a run at discussing a complicated, thorny and ideologically charged topic - the globalist and technocratic propaganda around food production, food technology, and dietary choices. This discussion cannot be condensed into a social media soundbite - it needs searching questions, deep reflections, and a deep awareness of the multi-layered complex web of nutrition and ecology.   Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/156-robb-wolf-the-globalist-food-agenda   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (10% off coupon OWNIT-2021)   Where to find ROBB WOLF and his work: ▪︎ NEW Book - Sacred Cow ▪︎ Website - https://robbwolf.com ▪︎ Podcast - The Healthy Rebellion ▪︎ Books - Wired To Eat & The Paleo Solution ▪︎ LMNT Electrolytes   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: ▪︎ The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey ▪︎ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content ▪︎ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import ▪︎ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking ▪︎ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

#157: Robb Wolf - Challenging the Globalist Food Agenda

Judy Cho is a nutritional therapy practitioner, nutritional author, and prolific producer of evidence-based nutritional content online. This intelligent women values family, bio-individual health, honest science, and a return to clean ancestrally-consistent nutritional choices. She's comfortable with complexity, but delivers compelling simplicity. The evidence, science, observations and her own personal experience has landed her on a meat-based diet, with her Instagram and Book focusing on what she calls a Carnivore Diet. Be prepared in this episode for your nutritional paradigms to be challenged, if not shattered! In this episode we unpack Judy's 12 year commitment to a plant-based way of eating, and the mental health and disordered eating issues she grappled with throughout - just thinking she was broken and weak. We dig into these issues, the therapy and medication approaches offered - all the while having our failing diet praised by doctors. We talk about Judy's leap into the unknown and scary - dropping the plants and going completely meat-based - i.e. a Carnivore Diet - and why after three years she is such a strong advocate for this way of eating. Being completely healed of her mental health and disordered eating battles, Judy helps us understand why scientifically  she is now thriving. We define what she was eating before, and what exactly is involved in her Carnivore diet. We explore diabetes, gut issues, sugar addiction, hormonal and neurotransmitter issues, brain energy dysfunction,  and why a carnivore diet can be a powerful tool to heal chronic deficiency and inflammation. We touch on traditional nutritional wisdom, the problems with modern plants and our consumption patterns, and the role of meat and plants in the human diet. And loads loads more....   FYI: This episode makes up a comprehensive and diverse collection of great interviews where we challenge the modern nutritional norms with this idea more meat and less plants s likely a healthier outcome for humans.

#156: Shattering Health Paradigms with Meat-Based Nutrition ~Judy Cho

Ivor Cummins joins us for a part 3 in early Jan 2021 on the COVID response and narrative - this time with a stronger emphasis on the human struggle and emotions associated with being cognitively and societally isolated. This episode is more of a thinking and emphasising discussion, whilst still keeping a firm hand on the technical aspects that people need to hear. Philosophical, empathic, principles and emotional connection. This is a side of Ivor that people don't see as much. His passion for history, his warrior-like strength of character, and his capacity to emphasise with those that are struggling with being a lone wolf  in this fight of honesty vs hysteria. I suspect a lot of people will be able to relate to the struggles discussed here, and may well find strength and/or acceptance in being part of this much needed discussion. We chat about how Ivor is coping, where he finds his motivation and strength, how he manages his bias, and the painful reality for many with of being ostracised. Not just problems - we also touch on some sound advice on how to navigate this time. We talk about some country COVID specifics and do a big deep dive into the UK winter resurgence / second wave situation. Did Ivor get it wrong? What data and signals do we need to track? How would Ivor characterise what we are seeing? The UK Hospital Pressure. The UK Variant. The multitude of WHO pivots and why they are commitment to illogical positions such as Case Definition and Death Cert guidance?  Lastly but perhaps most importantly - what would a cunning Govt do to engineer out of the hysteria and claim victory in the next few months by gaming nature? It's THE covid conversation you'd love to have, if you could find someone on the same wavelength, a deep thinker, and who is intensely researched on the science and politics.   Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/155-ivor-cummins-covid-jan21/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (10% off coupon OWNIT-2021)   Where to find IVOR CUMMINS and his work: ▪︎ YouTube - Ivor Cummins ▪︎ Social Media - Twitter & Facebook ▪︎ Website - https://thefatemperor.com ▪︎ Podcast - The Fat Emperor   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

#155: Ivor Cummins: The COVID struggle between Honesty vs Hysteria

Dr. Clare Craig, an experienced 20 year pathologist veteran within and outside of the NHS, joins us on 30th Dec to talk about a number of key COVID scientific matters that have been significantly been misrepresented in 2020. Expect to hear us cover Asymptomatic Transmission, Case Definition, SAGE, PCR Testing, Lateral Flow Testing, Excess Deaths, Hospital Pressures, the New Variant, False Positives, Herd Immunity, Immunity Metrics, Interesting Alternative Surveillance and much more. Full show notes listed below.  Clare has worked not only with the NHS, but also on the important 100,000 Genome Project and AI cancer diagnostics, and given her specialism is incredibly familiar with testing and diagnostics. With this experience and her advanced scientific faculties, she is able to interpret the science in ways most cannot. As such, whilst she recognises the viral pressure in 2020, she is highly sceptical with the approaches being taken nationally and globally.  This episode is a synthesis of the most important scientific questions AdapNation has received regarding the COVID UK response in recent weeks. We cover a great deal, and should provide essential context and scientific insight to the whole nation - no matter your beliefs and position regarding the govt actions.  It’s a long interview due to the breadth of topics, the need to answer them with sufficient depth, and this unique situation to get such an expert speak at length to our many scientific curiosities. As a top tip, try listening at 1.5x speed - it’s sounds good and condenses the listening time.  ESSENTIAL LISTENING for all. Please share to your friends and family to widen and expand our public understanding of the actual science regarding COVID.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed - https://adapnation.io/154-dr-clare-craig-covid-science/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find DR CLARE CRAIG: ▪︎ Twitter: @ClareCraigPath ▪︎ Dr. Clare’s website: logicinthetimeofcovid.com    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive 

#154: Essential COVID Science ~Dr. Clare Craig (UK Pathologist)

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, long standing NHS GP, Hospital doctor, and Heart Disease Specialist brings his deep-thinking scientific and critical mind to the topic of COVID, Vaccines and the state of medical scientific research.  This was recorded on 8th December 2020 - what Matt Hancock pegged as V-Day (the first day COVID vaccines were administered globally).  Malcolm is a master in dissecting medical data and clinical trials, as well as identifying broader trends in health and medicine that seem to be resisted by the medical establishment. He’s authored some critical books on Cholesterol, Heart Disease and the process of doctoring data by pharmaceutical companies.  With a popular medical blog, a sought-after speaker, and an advocate for developing metabolic health with low carb real food diet formats, Dr Kendrick brings a well respected and well-known voice across the medical and nutritional communities - in part for his refreshing non-consensus thinking across some aspects of medicine.  Given Malcolm’s clinical experience with COVID Patients, his exposure to people with low cardio metabolic health, and his comfort in calling out issues with medicine and medical research, his voice desperately needs to be heard across the population.   We dig deep into the manipulation of clinical data for profit or policy gain - be it the COVID data, vaccine trial data, or the general approach to medical research funded by big pharmaceuticals. We get into the COVID Vaccine Clinical trials, the death of science in 2020, and the concerns ahead for science unless drastic action is taken. And lots more…    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/153-dr-malcolm-kendrick-covid/ The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find DR MALCOLM KENDRICK: ▪︎ Dr. Malcolm Kendrick Blog ▪︎ Malcolm’s Books  Referenced Content on Dr Malcolm Kendrick’s website: ▪︎ Clinical Trials .

#153: Dr. Malcolm Kendrick on COVID, Vaccine Trials & Junk Medical Science

Geez, I got animated in this discussion. This was one big explosion of uncontrolled and unexpected fireworks!  Fans of AdapNation's content, or those that generally are holding in a lot of emotional pain and anguish regarding this COVID-leadership - I suspect this will be both cathartic and energising.  The Convo Context: Bryn and I got together to talk about the 1-2 punch that this COVID obsession is having on peoples personal health.  A critically important discussion as I’m sure yo will agree, because not only does it effect our susceptibility to serious infectious diseases, but it effects our future and overall ability to thrive, be effective and enjoy life.  This conversation absolutely touched a nerve. I got on my soap box and ended up monologuing and having a good old rant. Not my podcast style, so apologies upfront.  But, the issues of ignoring and directly effecting the decline in peoples health is a sickening reality of 2020.  I can’t sit on my hands and be polite about this stuff, as we’re being sold a false bill of goods with this Biosecurity authoritarian regime consisting of incessant testing, manipulative case definition, suppressing movement and socialising, masks, and now the finale - experimental vaccines being thrust upon the ENTIRE population of the human species.  This is clearly a raw conversation, full of expletives and exposing the ugly truths of leadership decisions and peoples lack of personal health ownership.  It might offend some people. Hopefully you see my passion for what it is - an intense care and concern for people being mislead and let down.  Apologies upfront if this is too strong and feels too direct and harsh. Please know, I have zero issue with you, the everyday person. We are all doing the best we can with what we have and what we know.  My beef is squarely with the overt manipulation, propaganda and coercion being deployed at an unprecedented scale by ideologically flawed leaders across government, business, institutions, globalist think tanks and technocrats.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/152-the-covid-1-2-health-punch/    The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Referenced Content: ▪︎ The Church of Vaccines ▪︎ Non-COVID causes of death in 2020 ▪︎ Main pre-existing conditions of deaths involving COVID-19   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive 

#152: The COVID 1-2 Health Decline Punch (expect fireworks!)

This is a shorter solo podcast, for those interested to know more about the producer of all of AdapNation’s COVID-19 and associated content, and how it’s done.  This episode is part confessional, part insight into how I work, and part instructional.   It’s great to see our content is helpful and valuable to so many in calibrating their knowledge and perspectives regarding COVID-19, human health and government public health interventions. More and more people are gaining the courage and confidence to share our evidence-based content, set up their own pages and even produce their own analysis. Amazing!  But, let’s be clear, we ALL have our biases. You can’t be human and not have your own worldview and biases, that inevitably act as both a map and a lens in which you evaluate and respond to reality. I (Steve) am no exception.  So, in an effort to be an open book to our supporters, new followers, and even sceptics of our work, I thought it would be only right to share my health-oriented worldview and known biases. Yep, it’s a laundry list! No doubt you would have experienced my biases in my work, so this is merely a confession to the fact I know that they exist and I try my best to mitigate them.  No one is immune to cognitive dissonance, me being no exception. The more open we can be about this, the better we can explore truth versus attempting to bend reality to match our expectations and beliefs of the world.  This episode will also let you in to how I further develop my my subject matter knowledge, how I research and investigate issues, how I prevent being in an echo chamber, my approach to content creation, the important aspects of statistician analysis and visualisation, and the common COVID-associated data sources AdapNation frequently use in our work.     The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Referenced AdapNation Resources: ▪︎ COVID+ Insights - the AdapNation in-context COVID dashboard  ▪︎ COVID Content - a collection of our best COVID content  ▪︎ AdapNation on Facebook - joint the community which reaches 1.5M+ people a month  ▪︎ About Steve Katasi   For the COVID-19 Official Data Sources we use: https://adapnation.io/151-covid-worldview-biases-approach     ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive 

#151: Steve's worldview, biases & approach to COVID-19 research

We need more genuine conversation on how people are coping and feeling this year. Not the intellectually morally right answer. Not the politically correct or virtuous answer. Not the consensus thoughts and feeling we’ve been told to experience and communicate. Instead we need more real, honest and raw exploration of our complex thoughts that the COVID response is inciting. To help get this conversation started, Bryn joins us for an adhoc conversation that turned out to be both soothing, worrying and optimistic all at the same time! This is a shorter format than our specialist topic discussions, closing in at just under an hour. I hope you enjoy it, and it acts as the seed in which to expand this conversation with your friends, family, colleagues and even with he AdapNation community.   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Here’s a flavour of what we discuss: Bored of the propaganda, yet obsessed with the science  How being time-poor acts as an insulator against the dark truths  The good and bad of lockdowns and restricted social experience  This is a year for the history books. “Let me tell you a story about 2020"  Is our fear of accelerated change completely rational?  Worries on not knowing how to prepare our kids for the uncertain future  Constant battle with despair, apathy and frustration at our fellow man  The power plays of protection, dependance and fear  2020 has been the year of growth, learning and awakening  The worrying distraction this year has created  The thinking man’s choice of suffering through the dark reality of truth vs naively living a lie  How COVID is thinning out friendships and relationship groups through argument  The epidemic rise in emotional and psychology isolation  Life was not a bed of roses before COVID, but is forced change (for the better) OK?  The concerns with the rushed global push of vaccines  How best to navigate the next 4-5 months - dependant on your current frame of mind  The problems independent critical thinkers pose to leaders, and why they must be handicapped  Why does Steve remain optimistic about the effects of this year on humanity?    Referenced resources: ▪︎ COVID+ Insights - the AdapNation in-context COVID dashboard  ▪︎ COVID Content - a collection of our best COVID content  ▪︎ AdapNation on Facebook - joint the community which reaches 1.5M+ people a month  ▪︎ BOOK: Letting Go by David R.

#150: Where's your head at with 2020, honestly? ~Bryn Jenkins

Swedish A&E Physician Dr. Sebastian Rushworth joins us to help clear up all the Chinese whispers, claims and debates regarding Sweden’s COVID response and their lifestyle, society, country.  After this 1.5h podcast interview, we will once and for all put all this emotional debate on Sweden to rest.

#149: Sweden's COVID Response & Lifestyle ~Dr. Sebastian Rushworth

Tim Gray, the UK’s leading Biohacker, a psychology specialist, and the founder of UK’s largest alternative health conference called The Health Optimisation Summit joins us to talk about optimising health in 2020. This is timely topic. 2020 has put a finer point on preventive health in a way like never before. BUT, are people pulling away, in a self-sabotage kind of way from this concept, and is optimising around the edges low on people’s priorities right now? It’s a true irony. People this year have got the wake up call of all wake up calls. You cannot expect robust health if you don’t commit to it. We are not invincible. Poor chronic lifestyle and diet habits catch up with us eventually. However, for many, people seem less interested and committed to self-improvement and transformative health this year. For many of us, the Pandemic is all consuming - leading to life being on perma-pause to some degree. This pandemic has messed with a lot of heads and thrown this years health commitments into a spin. That said, that is not the rule. According to Tim, this year seems to have amplified peoples health status. If you were informed, had momentum and expressed a growth mindset, then those folk have grown disproportionately this year. If you were without direction and not sure what good heath is, then for those things may have gotten worse. Irrespective, change can happen in an instant. You just need to know wha the big rocks are, decide to shift to health, and start to the ball rolling with your first action. Sound good? Listen in for Tim’s big rocks to optimising your health.  Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/148-tim-gray-biohacker The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)  Where to find TIM GRAY and his summit:▪︎ Instagram - @timbiohacker▪︎ The Health Optimisation Summit - Website & Tickets & Instagram  Referenced Content:▪︎ Episode #130: Top Biohacks & Longevity insights with Kris Gethin▪︎ What is Wim Hof Breathing? ▪︎ Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions - Annie Duke ▪︎ Stronger By Stress - Siim Land▪︎ Henshaw Hyperbaric Chambers ▪︎ Dr Dominik Nischwitz - German Biological Dentist ▪︎ Circadian Code - Dr Satchin Panda  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media. AdapNation Useful Links:The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive 

#148: Optimising Your Health in 2020 ~Tim Gray, Biohacker

Bryn Jenkins is back on the AdapNation mics, this time to touch on a subject close to most people’s hearts this year (the year of COVID) - how to exercise in a way that helps improve longevity, wellness and a pain free existence.  This year has seen a major shift in priorities of gym goers. Losing weight and looking good is still important - because let’s face it, a good looking physique is a healthy physique - but now shoring up people’s defences against infections and old age has come into sharp focus.  Up until this year, it’s been too easy to give longevity and wellness goals lip service, but not really commit to it. Why? Well, I guess it comes down to it being less tangible and obvious. You don’t know you haven’t got vitality and true wellness until you finally experience what it actually feels like… or “healthy people” start getting seriously ill and/or passing away.  There are several priorities to wellness and longevity, and all of them need a lifelong commitment. Today, however, we focus on deliberate gym training - specifically weight training - as a means to keep good body function, healthy pain-free joints, impressive age-appropriate strength, healthy muscle mass, appropriate flexibility and great posture.  As Bryn trains many people in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, you can be rest assured his guidance is appropriate and effective for all ages, all fitness levels, and all levels of training experience.  You’ll get the benefit of learning about the most effective training structure and principles used by top athletes around the world, but made accessible to everyone.  To make it easier to visualise, follow along and give people a solid place to start, Bryn created an example 3 Day weight training programme.

#146: How to Nourish Your Immune System ~Dr Nathasha Campbell-McBride

World-renowned Professor Ben Bikman is a leading expert on fat cell metabolism, metabolic health, insulin resistance, and the affects a dysfunctional metabolism has on healthy immune function. What’s the very best thing you can do to improve your health and those around you? Ensure you and others are Metabolically Healthy and Insulin Sensitive. These terms sound overly technical and are far from instructive. But, it is so critically important that we as individuals, as societies, and as healthcare providers understand what it takes to be metabolically healthy. Understand and live this one concept well enough, and you will protect yourself against the plethora of modern chronic diseases, as well as shoring up your defences against Infectious Diseases such as COVID-19 and the Flu. This episode is scientific in nature but universally accessible and practical. Not only will you know more than almost everyone when it comes to metabolic health, insulin sensitivity and the links between metabolic and immune function, but you will also know how to achieve these states of optimal health too.   P.S. If you are coming in pretty naive to this topic, then a good place to start is actually the prior episode - episode #144 where we start from the grass roots of the metabolism and metabolic health.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/145-insulin-resistance-bikman/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)   Where to find BEN BIKMAN and his work: ▪︎ The NEW Book - Why We Get Sick  ▪︎ Social Media (BenjaminBikmanPHD) - Facebook, Instagram & Twitter  ▪︎ Website - https://gethlth.com/about-us/   Referenced Content: ▪︎ Episode #144: How to Improve Your Metabolic Health ▪︎ Have we got Diabetes all Wrong?

#145: Insulin Resistance: The Root of Poor Health ~Prof. Be Bikman

I keep banging on about it regarding protection against COVID-19… Metabolic Health. Probably the most important concept to grasp in these times is getting in and staying Metabolically Healthy.  We see that 96% of all COVID-19 mortality had one or more co-morbidities, with leading health conditions being Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity. All of which make up something called Metabolic Syndrome.  So, if you want to look good, feel good, have a great sustainable relationship with food, minimise your exposure to chronics diseases and robustly defend against infectious respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, then it should be your top priority to get Metabolically Healthy.  This episode is going to explain exactly what we mean by Metabolic Health, Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolism. Bryn and Steve cover all the bases - ranging from Metabolism and weight management, can you break your metabolism, and hypothyroidism; to how your metabolism becomes dis-regulated, what health issues it causes, and how to identify if you have Metabolic Syndrome.  You’ll learn about the connection between your metabolism, healthy hormone function, body fat, and your immune system. Lastly, we share the practical and simple diet and lifestyle solutions that will get you metabolically healthy. Things you can start right away that will have a quick and profound effect on your metabolic and immune health.  This is TOO IMPORTANT to ignore. For you and your loved ones. We don’t need masks, lockdowns and vaccines. If you truly care about those who are highly susceptible to Flu and COVID-19, then help them improve their host health and natural defences.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed - https://adapnation.io/144-metabolic-health/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find BRYN JENKINS and his work: ▪︎ Facebook & Instagram   ▪︎ Intent2Improve Gym - website & social    Referenced Content:  ▪︎ The #BeYourBest Nutritional Principals ▪︎ Podcast: Human evolution and the diet that made it all possible ~Dr Bill Schindler  ▪︎ Podcasts: Understanding Inflammation wit Dr Tom O’Bryan & Viruses & Immune System with Dr Russell Jaffe    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive
