How You Can Lose Weight with a Ketogenic Diet
Are you frustrated by your inability to lose weight?

Keto Chicken Pad Thai
One of the most difficult aspects of adopting a ketogenic diet is forgoing staple dishes that you have come to love.
Pad thai is the quintessential American Thai dish. It’s peanutty deliciousness is enough to entice even the pickiest of eaters.
Unfortunately, the noodles that usually accompany a standard pad thai are made form wheat which is loaded with carbohydrates that will zap you out of ketosis and foil your weight loss goals.
But there is no need to fret! We found an absolutely delicious pad thai recipe that uses spiralized zucchini in place of wheat noodles so that you can stay in ketosis and keep shedding the pounds!
INGREDIENTS:
⅛ teaspoon ground organic ginger
⅛ teaspoon organic garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground organic black pepper
2 pounds free-range chicken tenders
2 tablespoons organic avocado oil
3 large free-range eggs, lightly beaten
⅓ cup organic chicken broth
3 tablespoons organic peanut butter
2 tablespoons organic coconut aminos
1 tablespoon organic rice vinegar
½ cup chopped organic scallion
2 organic garlic cloves, minced
4 zucchini, spiralized
½ cup bean sprouts
½ cup crushed organic peanuts, for garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix the ginger, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
2. Toss the chicken tenders in the mix until coated.
3. Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a medium-sized skillet.
4. Once the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned, about 3 minutes.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cut into ¼-inch-thick slices. Set aside.
6. Add the eggs to the skillet and lightly scramble, about 1 minute.
7. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
8. Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low and add the chicken broth, peanut butter, coconut aminos, vinegar, scallion, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
9. Stir well and cook for 3 minutes.
10. Add the chicken slices, zucchini noodles, scrambled eggs, and sprouts to the skillet.
11. Toss to coat with the sauce, and cook for about 1 minute.
12. Serve the pad thai garnished with the peanuts and lime wedges.

7 Incredible Health Benefits of Turmeric
You have probably already heard about the therapeutic effects of turmeric consumption. This is because there are over 6,000 studies showing the healing potential of this super herb!
Scientifically known as Turmeric Longa, turmeric is known for it’s sharp taste and striking golden orange hue. 
Nutrient Dense
Although turmeric is a common spice that can be found in most people’s kitchen cabinets, don’t let its ubiquitous nature fool you. This powerful plant packs quite a punch!
Turmeric is loaded with beneficial nutrients including protein, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamins C, E, and K, calcium, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc.
Curcumin
The primary active compound in turmeric is called curcumin. Curcumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Unfortunately, curcumin is not significantly bio-available by itself. Fortunately, it has been found that the active component of pepper, called piperine, can increase absorption of turmeric by up to 2,000%!
Curcumin is also fat soluble. This means absorption will be enhanced if curcumin if consumed with a healthy fat such as grass-fed ghee or coconut oil.
It is interesting to note that turmeric has been paired with black pepper in curry dishes for thousands of years in India.
1. Anti-Inflammatory
This is the fundamental property from which all of turmeric’s health benefits are derived. Inflammation is at the foundation of all disease, from cancer to diabetes to heart-disease.
Acute inflammation is a healthy response that can help fight pathogens and heal wounds, however when inflammation becomes chronic it can lead to disease.
This is why turmeric is so effective in managing inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
2. Relieve Pain
Due to its anti-inflammatory capabilities, turmeric is extremely effective at treating pain.
The European Journal of Pharmacology published research that found that curcumin can activate the opioid system in diabetic rats. The opioid system is the same system targeted by heavy-duty pharmaceutical drugs.
The U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research has suggested that, curcumin could be used in lieu of conventional medications to treat burns.
3. Antioxidant
Oxidation is the process through which high reactive molecules with unpaired electrons called “free-radicals” steal electrons from parts of cells such as proteins, cell walls and DNA.
Antioxidants protect cells from the damaging effects of oxidation by neutralizing free radicals before they can cause harm.
Curcumin is not only a potent antioxidant itself, but it also boosts the body’s own endogenous production of anti-oxidants as well.
4. Brain Health
Turmeric has been shown to increase levels of an extremely important factor in brain health called Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). BDNF is a type of growth hormone that triggers brain cell development, something once thought to be impossible.
Decreased levels of this hormone have been correlated with degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Heart Health
The leading cause of death, globally, heart disease is especially a concern for Americans.
Turmeric has been found to improve the function of the lining of the blood vessels called the endothelium.
Dysfunction of the endothelium is one of the primary contributors to the development of heart disease. The endothelium regulates blood pressure, blood clotting, and various cardiovascular functions.
In addition to improving endothelial health, turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also contribute to heart health.
6. Antidepressant
The journal Phytotherapy Research published a study in which 60 volunteers with a major depressive disorder, such as manic depression, were given either curcumin, Prozac or a combination of the two.
Turmeric was found to be as effective as Prozac at treating the symptoms of depression without the negative side effects!
7. Anti-Aging
Since turmeric has such profound antioxidant capabilities, it is no wonder that it is also a potential anti-aging super herb! By protecting cells from free-radical damage, turmeric can slow the rate of oxidation in the body and therefore slow the rate of aging!
It is unclear at this time exactly how powerful the anti-aging potential of turmeric is, but when it is paired with piperine for optimal absorption, it is likely to graceful and healthy aging.

Is Detox Right for You?
It is an unfortunate fact that we live in a toxic world. Most of us are exposed to a litany of toxic substances from the air, water, and food we encounter on a daily basis. Those of us living in urban and suburban areas likely have hundreds of toxic compounds circulating in our blood at this very moment.
Common toxins include pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, halogens, xenoestrogens, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals, among many others.
These toxins slowly poison the body over the course of many years eventually leading to conditions like cancer and autoimmune disease.
This is why it is so important to regularly detoxify the body.
Many detox programs are extreme, however, and some can even be dangerous. That is why it is important to understand the detoxification process so you can choose a program that is both safe and effective for you.
Detoxification
The human body is a miraculously intelligent and adaptive system that is continually detoxifying itself. However, when the body is overloaded with too many toxins, the detoxification pathways become congested, lymph flow begins to stagnate, the liver becomes overwhelmed, and the digestive system can even malfunction.
The goal of a good detoxification program is to remove the toxic and inflammatory foods to de-congest the detoxification pathways so as to allow the body’s own innate intelligence to detoxify and heal itself.
Pretty much everyone can safely perform some version of a detox. For those who are pregnant or nursing, have serious illness, or are on medication, it is necessary to consult a doctor who can supervise the process.
Now that you know why you need to detox, where do you start?
Which Detox is Right for You?
With so many detoxes, fasts, and cleanses available, it can be confusing trying to figure out which one is right for you.
Before you decide, it is important to realize that not all detox programs are the same.
Some detox protocols work better than others and some detoxes can actually be harmful to certain individuals!
Types of Detox:
Juice Fast-
This has become very trendy in recent years with dozens of juice shops now in most urban centers. Typically done between 3-7 days (though some people can maintain for many months), juice fasts can be beneficial for some people but there are definite dangers to be aware of. The idea is that by consuming a liquid only diet you can give the digestive system a break. Combined with the nutrient density of the vegetables, on the surface this seems like a reasonable proposition.
However, many juices are loaded with high sugar fruits. When juiced and removed from their associated fiber, fruit juice becomes a high glycemic sugar bomb that can spike the blood sugar levels and lead to inflammation. Even while low sugar vegetable juice can be a great source of dense nutrition, it still removes all the fiber from the vegetables which is essential in escorting toxins from the body and maintaining a healthy microbiome.
Master Cleanse-
If you think juice fasting is extreme, then the Master Cleanse will make you think twice. This detox program involves consuming nothing but a concoction of water with lemon, cayenne, and honey for 1-10 days. With a similar goal as juice fasting, the Master Cleanse aims to give the digestive system a rest so that the body can focus on detoxification.
Although there are many people who report favorable results with the Master Cleanse, it is an extreme cleanse that may be too dramatic for most. A cleanse of this nature can cause such a large release of toxins from the body that it can lead to what is called a Herxheimer Reaction. A Herxheimer Reaction consists of symptoms associated with a considerable release of toxins from the body into the blood.
This happens because during this type of cleanse the body will eventually switch over to burning body fat for fuel. Most toxins are fat soluble which means they are stored in the body fat. As your metabolism begins to consume your body fat for energy these toxins are released causing havoc on their way out.
Additionally, it utilizes cayenne pepper, which is a nightshade, and inflammatory for a subset of the population and this cleanse completely lacks fiber which is essential for effectively escorting toxins out of the body.
Bone Broth Fast-
As bone broth has exploded in popularity, many people have turned to using this nourishing food as a tool to cleanse. The idea here is similar in that a liquid diet allows the digestive system to rest as the myriad of nutrients in the broth help heal the gut and nourish the body.
Bone broth fasts work well for those with conditions such as leaky gut, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and candida.
However, for the majority of people this diet can also be too extreme. It also lacks fiber which, again, is crucial to the effective elimination of toxins.
Dr. Colbert’s 21 Day Detox-
This program has been specially formulated by Dr. Colbert as the most balanced and effective detoxification protocol available. All inflammatory foods such as dairy, grains, sugar, meat and nightshades are removed from the diet, They are replaced by living healing foods such as vegetables, low glycemic fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
You are still able to eat regular meals so that you have adequate energy and feel satiated throughout the day. You also receive adequate fiber so that the toxins that are released from your fat cells can be easily escorted out of the body.
The 21 Day Detox gives you all the benefits of detoxification without any of the dangers of an extreme liquid diet. This is designed to awaken your body’s own innate healing and detoxification potential by eliminating toxic and inflammatory foods while still nourishing the body with regular meals.
Safe and Effective
Detoxification can be completely safe if choose the right program. Although there are many viable cleansing options, many of these diets are extreme and potentially dangerous. That’s why Dr. Colbert developed his 21 Day Detox system. It provides the body with everything it needs to heal while eliminating everything that can interfere with the body’s ability to naturally detoxify.
