I am grateful to welcome back to the show, someone who is on mission to build awareness of healing and self-empowerment through advanced, cutting edge health education, real-life application and an inside out practice of wholistic living, Dr. Don Clum. Dr. Don Clum graduated from Life University in Marietta, GA in 1997 with a degree in Human Nutrition. He then moved to Life Chiropractic College West in California where he graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2000. After graduation, Dr. Clum moved to San Jose, Costa Rica where he was invited to work with the Costa Rican Olympic Committee and Athletes. Dr. Clum participated in the National, Central American and Caribbean and Central American Games as the team chiropractor and as the official chiropractor for two professional soccer teams. He returned to the U.S.A. in 2010 when he and his wife started a fully integrated wellness center bringing holistic services of chiropractic, massage, metabolic nutrition, metabolic workouts in their onsite gym, wellness psychology, and medical services collaboration. Dr. Clum also collaborated in transitioning a traditional pain management medical practice into a wellness center with holistic services and served as the director of the onsite lab. Dr. Clum's success in creating integrated programs for insulin resistance specifically focusing on diabetes, diabetes prevention, metabolic syndrome, weight loss resistance, obesity, and cardiometabolic issues led him to join a national corporate wellness and population health company, ADURO Inc., in 2014 to date serving 140 employers and over 1,000,000 employees. Here at ADURO Dr. Clum has designed and delivered the first alternative diabetes prevention program that rivals and beats the national statistics of the National Diabetes Prevention Program from the N.I.H., and C.D.C.   In 2015 Dr. Clum was accepted into and started a Ph.D. program in Health Psychology at Northcentral University where his emphasis of study is centered on the relationship of chronic stress, food and general addiction cycle, and early onset of male depression in what is termed the Irritable Male Syndrome. In this episode, Dr. Clum opens the show explaining why we shouldn’t focus on boosting our immune systems; instead, we need to stop suppressing our immune systems. He then reveals the things that are suppressing our immune systems, including sugar, baked goods, and fiber. Then, Dr. Clum describes how to break a fast and the benefits of time restrictive eating. Stay tuned as he speaks about the importance of vitamin D, sleep, and exercise on our immune systems. ?Want to become a keto and fasting pro?
