When you consider the time, effort, and cost required to visit a doctor for blood work or lab screenings it can be overwhelming.

Frequent testing removes the doubt and frustration of discovering a health issue when it may be too late to properly combat a disease. Drew’s guest, Peter Foley, started his company LetsGetChecked because of a personal experience that left him feeling as if he had no control about a serious medical issue he experienced at age 16. Peter’s goal is to help people manage their health by providing convenient, accurate diagnostics in their own home. Based out of Dublin, Ireland, LetsGetChecked services North America and the European Union with tests that can save time, money, and lives.

Following a diet based on the current food pyramid created and promoted by the federal government is lethal. Since the guidelines were put into place obesity, diabetes, and chronic illness has been on the rise in America. Even the most prestigious medical journals fail to mention the havoc sugar and carbs can play with the natural processes of the thyroid in the human body. Dr. Ken Berry, a family practitioner, joins Drew to describe the nutritional falsehoods being disseminated by the medical community even after research proves otherwise. He shares his own journey of the lack of nutritional information in his medical school training, his personal first-hand experience with a low or no-carb diet, and revelations from his book, Lies My Doctor Told Me. Dr. Berry also details his transitions and results from prescribing Paleo, Keto, and Carnivore diets to his morbidly obese patients.

He speaks with Drew today about how he ending up meeting the love of his life in Budapest, why he never complains, and how the plant medicines ayahuasca and San Pedro drive his entrepreneurial spirit.

In the 1970s 4.2 million Americans were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and today there are 30 million people being treated for the disease. It’s obvious that something in the American diet changed. The amount of sugars being added to foods in addition to a food pyramid designed to sell agricultural products have left much of the nation unhealthy and addicted. To take back control of our health and nutrition we need an approach that satiates us and allows our bodies to heal themselves. Enter the keto diet. While not new and definitely not a fad diet, keto immediately impacts blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of medication necessary to keep insulin levels in check.
Drew welcomes Lauren and Mary of Fearless Keto. A mother-daughter team dedicated to providing support to women and girls who want better health but have difficulty breaking past eating patterns. Lauren struggled with committing to a healthy lifestyle in spite of the direction of her mother, Mary, who is a Certified Dietician. Both women share the story of what motivated them to create a support group and to provide products help people gradually adopt a keto lifestyle.

Most dog food is kibble comprised of a high percentage of corn, wheat, or soybeans. And, while it may satiate your dog until their next meal the ingredients lack the optimum amount of fat and protein dogs need to stay healthy and live a long, happy life. There are other low-carb food options available but how do you know which foods are created to drive profit for manufacturers versus food that is created with the health of your pup in mind? Drew welcomes the CEO and Marketing Director of Visionary Pet, an online raw, nutritious, ketogenic dog food creator to discuss the health benefits of placing your dog on a ketogenic protocol. The company was founded to support the KetoPet Sanctuary, a treatment center for shelter dogs with cancer.
This episode explores the success rate of treating cancer in dogs with a keto diet, why the founders created the project and the benefits you can expect when transitioning your dog to raw, ketogenic food.

The ketogenic diet has evolved since the 1920s when doctors discovered the benefit of using ketones as a fuel source to control seizures in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Then before the dawn of social media, the keto diet was passed around like a secret in gyms where weightlifters and athletes worked out. Now, there is an entire industry built to offer support for those on the keto diet. You can get keto supplements, keto meal plans, books dedicated to keto, and even listen to keto-based podcasts. But, how do you know which version of keto is right for you?
In this episode, Drew explores the evolution of the ketogenic diet, why a bio-individualized approach is better than a one-size-fits-all approach, and the different morphs of the ketogenic diet, including the Carnivore and the plant-based versions.
