After I personally went from being obese at 250 pounds with 34 percent body fat to 170 pounds and 6 percent body fat, I cracked the fat loss code. The code that unlocks fat loss is lowering insulin.  The cool thing about having the combination to a code is that it unlocks no matter what!! I tested this out with over 5,000 of my students with great success. You have hundreds of hormones inside your body. Hormones are chemical messengers. Some hormones activate fat burning, some hormones help with energy, some hormones help with longevity, but ONLY ONE HORMONE causes fat storage (and shuts off fat burning). This hormone is called insulin. Insulin is an energy sensor (amongst other things), and when you activate the insulin troops, your fat burning hormones are GONE. Insulin is the bully of the block. You might be wondering, “How do you lower insulin?”  Great question! Intermittent fasting! 📍Resources Mentioned: 📍Free App For Tracking Macronutrients: http://www.cronometer.com/ketokamp  📍 Oura ring for tracking sleep, steps and more: http://ouraring.com/raf/6e9615cebf?utm_medium=iac_raf  📍Melatonin supplement: https://amzn.to/4flRaag  📍 Magnesium supplement.

VO2 max is a critical measure of your body’s ability to utilize oxygen during intense exercise. It’s a strong predictor of cardiorespiratory fitness and overall health. Research shows that a low VO2 max is a significant risk factor for avoidable deaths, surpassing even smoking, diabetes, and obesity combined. Why VO2 Max Matters Longevity: Higher VO2 max levels are associated with longer life expectancy. Health Span: Improved VO2 max enhances your quality of life by boosting energy levels and overall fitness. Disease Prevention: Maintaining a high VO2 max can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. What is REHIT? Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) is designed to deliver effective workouts in a very short time frame. Unlike traditional high-intensity interval training (HIIT), REHIT focuses on maximizing benefits with minimal exertion. How REHIT Works Short, Intense Bursts: REHIT involves performing two all-out 22-second sprints. Energy Demand Spike: These sprints create a significant spike in energy demand, simulating a fight-or-flight response. Adaptation: This triggers the body to adapt and improve its fitness levels. What is the CAROL Bike? The CAROL bike is a specialized tool for performing REHIT workouts. It’s designed to optimize your workout by adjusting resistance automatically, ensuring you get the most out of each session. Benefits of the CAROL Bike Time-Efficient: Complete a full workout in under eight minutes. VO2 Max Improvement: Studies show up to a 12% improvement in VO2 max within eight weeks.

Intermittent fasting is one of the best ways to lower inflammation and lose serious weight. It turns out, you can significantly enhance the benefits of fasting with these 4 intermittent fasting drinks.  Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar seems to be all the rage these days. The problem is, MOST people use it the wrong way. In this video, I’m going to share with you the best time to drink apple cider vinegar to repair your metabolism, balance your hormones and BURN FAT! Coffee with grass fed ghee: Coffee’s most powerful polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, or CGA, tells your body’s fat cells to burn their fatty acids for fuel. This is the same mechanism that statin drugs use to lower your cholesterol, without potential side effects. CGA cuts cravings, suppresses appetite and activates the liver to produce more bile, aiding in detoxing your cells. It helps the liver to process fats and glucose more efficiently by lowering triglyceride levels and stabilizing blood sugars. Green Tea with MCT oil: Drink green tea with caprylic acid Hydrogen Water: Oxidative stress in the gut can disrupt cellular function and damage the gut lining, contributing to a condition known as “leaky gut.” Hydrogen, with its selective antioxidant properties, can help mitigate this oxidative stress, supporting the integrity of the gut barrier. Since fasting can stimulate autophagy and cellular repair in the gut, adding hydrogen water may enhance this process by reducing oxidative stress and supporting the regeneration of healthy cells in the intestinal lining. // RESOURCES MENTIONED:  📍Purity Coffee.

Stunning as it may sound, nearly half of Americans ages 20 years and up – or more than 122 million people – have high blood pressure, according to a 2023 report from the American Heart Association.  In this lesson I will share the worst blood pressure advice given to you from your doctor, the real cause of high blood pressure, and easy steps to naturally lower high blood pressure.  Most doctors will tell you high blood pressure is a result of a diet high in salt. The belief that salt consumption raises blood pressure is based on bogus science. It originates from French scientists more than 100 years ago, who 'based their findings on just six patients'. Salt, emphasizing its role in maintaining proper hydration, supporting adrenal function, and enhancing nutrient absorption. Salt helps the body balance fluids, regulate nerve and muscle function, and maintain acid-base balance. For people who are active or on low-carb or ketogenic diets, salt intake is even more essential, as they can lose more sodium through sweat and reduced insulin levels. DiNicolantonio explains that salt can also improve blood flow, support cardiovascular health, and reduce cravings for sugar by balancing electrolyte levels.  What is the real cause of high blood pressure?  High levels and blood glucose and insulin! Eating too many carbohydrates inhibits the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is responsible for vasodilation. When the blood vessels constrict because of the lack of NO, the heart has to work harder. This is what increases blood pressure!  How do you measure your blood sugar and insulin levels? Fasting insulin Fasting blood sugars Post prandial glucose  CGM KETO MOJO 5 ways to naturally lower high blood pressure. Your first step is to replace insulin producing foods with foods that lower insulin. This will lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels.  The second step: Eat the 5 best foods proven by science to lower blood pressure, The third step: eliminate snacking in between meals and practice time restricted feeding. The fourth step: Consider supplementation The fifth step: breath through your nostrils and hum/sing // RESOURCES MENTIONED:  📍Keto Mojo device for checking blood glucose and ketones: http://www.ketokampmachine.com  📍 Nutrisense continuous glucose monitor: http://www.nutrisense.io/ketokamp use the code BEN30 for $30 off  📍 Cronometer app for tracking macronutrients.
