Have you ever pondered your genetic makeup, or how it's possible to reverse chronic diseases? Join Ben Azadi of the Keto Camp Podcast as we unmask some health misconceptions and reveal the importance of lifestyle changes in tackling the root causes of these ailments. We examine mTOR, a protein linked to nearly every chronic disease, and shed light on a personal journey of overcoming four chronic diseases.Our discussion takes an interesting turn as we explore the accepted, yet often ineffective, treatments for chronic diseases. We journey back in time to our ancestors, their adaptation to cycles of feasting and fasting, and the crucial balance between mTOR and autophagy. Be prepared to discover the role of mTOR in aging and disease, and how it safeguards cells, particularly when food is scarce. We further discuss how the rise of farming disrupted this natural balance.In the end, we confront a series of health untruths passed down in medical schools. Emphasizing the significance of hormones and insulin over mere calorie counting, we dissect insulin's role in weight gain and how certain macro-nutrients drive insulin levels. Join us as we explore the potential of certain medications to prolong life, the role of cholesterol in heart attacks, and the true power of lifestyle changes. Together, let's challenge the norm and gain a fresh perspective on health and wellness.*** CONNECT WITH ROB ON SOCIAL MEDIA ( ~250k)*** Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X(Twitter): https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RobertLufkinMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmd *** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.
