How brown fat constantly burns energy.
And how keto can get white fat to behave more like brown fat.
There are more and more studies being done on brown fat and how to get more of it. So it's a good bet Eric will have more to say on this topic!

Today we are re-playing an important episode (and one Eric regularly gets questions about). If weight loss has been a challenge, even on the ketosis program, then there might be something else at work...
Are you struggling to lose weight? Are you not experiencing the results you had hoped for with the keto diet? Maybe you have hit a plateau and can't quite figure out why?
The culprit in all these situations may be CORTISOL. In this episode, Eric talks about the hormone at the root of the problem and how it rears its ugly head with clients he coaches, slowing success and attacking well-being. Today, we'll break it down like this:
What is cortisol?
Why is cortisol called the keto killer?
Acute vs chronic stressors
Becoming aware of the stressors that raise our cortisol
Don't be a POO!
And, exercise and meditate the cortisol away!
You know another great way to control that cortisol? bioStak! (It really does help with a bit of everything). Go to bioStak.com and grab yours today. (Like right now!)

Enjoy this re-broadcast of one of our most popular episodes: Proper Nutrition for a Ketogenic Lifestyle. And Eric and Chad will be back in action next week with a brand new episode!
****Eric gets more in depth in this episode regarding the foods and diet that help you achieve a ketogenic state. Eric teaches that a healthy lifestyle begins with a consistent and healthy diet. But, what we have traditionally been taught as "healthy" is anything but.
Learn why a ketogenic nutrition program is the proper way to feed both our body and mind. More importantly, learn what that means in real life. What foods should you eat? What foods should you NOT eat?
And, is it ever OK to have a cheat day? We know you're asking yourself that question (Chad certainly is), so let's get that cleared up as well.
How do you achieve and maintain a ketogenic state through your diet? Eric explains it all in this episode.
This is our final foundational episode. That means that a lot of the podcast, as well as the program Eric coaches, rests upon a foundation of a proper ketogenic diet.

So with the amount of research Eric does day in and day out (most of which he considers "fun time"), we should probably heed his counsel on what he deems as the next "silent epidemic". Today the guys discuss fatty liver disease - where it comes from and what to do about it. This one is important, so be sure to tune in.
Why is fatty liver disease silently creeping up on us?
How the liver is the "hub" of the body, and what it actually does.
80-100 million people have it (and don't even know it).
Eric gets into the science! - How fatty liver comes about
What effect does ketosis have on the liver?
What are the biggest contributing factors to liver fat?
How Eric has conducted his own case studies based on clients' genetics.
Gotta get that choline! (and where to find it)
And finally, how you can not only reverse fatty liver but also prevent it EVEN when you're genetically predisposed.
Did you know that one of the 5 micronutrients in bioStak is milk thistle? And milk thistle is actually considered the great liver detoxifier! If you haven't ordered your bioStak yet, go to biostak.com to get yours today (and clean that liver!).

Are you getting enough of the green stuff? If you're like most of us, not likely.

On today's episode, Eric takes a question from Eric. Although he is known to ask himself questions, this one is from a different Eric who asks about brown adipose fat and how keto relates to it. This is a subject the guys haven't talked too much about, but are eager to dive into.
What is brown fat?
What's the difference between brown fat and white fat?
How brown fat constantly burns energy.
And how keto can get white fat to behave more like brown fat.
There are more and more studies being done on brown fat and how to get more of it. So it's a good bet Eric will have more to say on this topic!

So if you're living life in ketosis and tried to explain it to friends or family, you've likely been asked the question "Well, isn't that the same as Paleo (and/or Atkins)?"

And what makes keto stand a cut above?

On today's episode, Chad and Eric wanted to offer specific advice to the female masses. So naturally, they relied on their own extensive experience with the hormonal fluctuations of women...Not so much.
Instead, they sought out an expert on all things WOMEN and KETO: Shawn Mynar. She is the host of The Keto for Women Show and is here today to let the guys in on the subtle differences between men and women when it comes to living a fun and fulfilling life in ketosis.

So on this last Sunday Supp a question was asked about High Intensity Interval Training.
