Descripción

Why do epilepsy medications fail so many patients—especially children—and what actually works when drugs stop working? In this episode, Jenny Mitich sits down with Denise Potter, a leading expert in therapeutic ketogenic diets for epilepsy, to break down the real science behind medication-resistant epilepsy, childhood epilepsy, and why keto works when seizure meds fail. We cover: * Why anti-seizure medications often fail in childhood epilepsy * What drug-resistant epilepsy really means * The history of ketogenic diets for epilepsy (used for over 100 years) * How ketones impact brain metabolism and seizure activity * Different types of therapeutic ketogenic diets (TKD, classic keto, MAD, MCT) * Why keto is a first-line therapy for some epilepsy syndromes * Ketone targets for kids vs adults * How long children typically stay on a ketogenic diet for epilepsy * What the clinical research actually shows about seizure reduction * Where families and professionals can get proper TKD training and education This conversation is essential viewing for: * Parents navigating childhood epilepsy * Families dealing with refractory or medication-resistant seizures * Clinicians and practitioners interested in metabolic therapy * Anyone researching keto for seizures or dietary epilepsy treatment ⚠️ This video is for educational purposes only and does not replace medical advice. Always work with a qualified medical team when managing epilepsy or implementing a therapeutic ketogenic diet.

Dr Sabrina Solt: Peptides, Hormones, & Stem Cells: Hype or Hope?

Dr. Sabrina Solt joins me for a fascinating conversation on the cutting edge of healing, regeneration, and hormone health. We dive deep into stem cells, peptides, prolotherapy, hormone optimization, and why so many people still feel exhausted, inflamed, and stuck even when they think they’re doing everything “right.” Dr. Solt breaks down the science behind regenerative medicine in a way that’s easy to understand, including how stem cells actually work, the biggest misconceptions around peptides, and why hormones play such a massive role in healing, energy, recovery, and longevity. We also discuss the carnivore diet, nutrient density, chronic stress, GLP-1 medications, women’s health, and what modern medicine may still be missing when it comes to helping people truly heal from within. Whether you’re curious about peptides, struggling with fatigue, interested in stem cells, or simply trying to optimize your health, this episode is packed with practical insights and thought-provoking conversation. Topics Discussed: • Stem cells & regenerative medicine • Peptides for healing & recovery • Hormone optimization • Prolotherapy & chronic pain • Women’s health & burnout • Carnivore diet & nutrient density • Stress, inflammation & healing • GLP-1 medications • Longevity & anti-aging Follow Dr. Sabrina Solt: Instagram: @drsabrinasolt YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drsolt [https://www.youtube.com/@drsolt] R3 Stem Cell Therapy: https://r3stemcell.com/scottsdale-az/regenerative-medicine/about-us/ [https://r3stemcell.com/scottsdale-az/regenerative-medicine/about-us/] ORDER MY BOOK COMPLETE CARNIVORE: Amazon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4oFNsgj⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://amzn.to/4oFNsgj] B&N: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/complete-carnivore-jenny-mitich/1146838850?ean=9781628605761&st=AFF&2sid=Random%20House%20Inc_8373827_NA&sourceId=AFFRandom%20House%20Inc⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/complete-carnivore-jenny-mitich/1146838850?ean=9781628605761&st=AFF&2sid=Random%20House%20Inc_8373827_NA&sourceId=AFFRandom%20House%20Inc] For international viewers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Complete-Carnivore-by-Jenny-Mitich/9781628605761⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Complete-Carnivore-by-Jenny-Mitich/9781628605761]

Celebrity Chef James Barry Exposes the Biggest Food Problem

Celebrity chef and founder of Pluck, James Barry, joins me for a fascinating conversation about nutrient density, organ meats, modern nutrition, and the missing pieces in today’s food culture. After spending over 20 years cooking for celebrities, professional athletes, and high-profile clients, James shares what he learned about health, real food, and why so many people are still undernourished despite eating “healthy.” We also dive into the deeply personal story involving his daughter’s health crisis and how that experience completely changed the trajectory of his life and career. From there, we explore why organ meats were prized by our ancestors, the nutritional gaps in modern diets, and practical ways people can incorporate more nutrient-dense foods without forcing themselves to choke down liver. This episode covers nose-to-tail nutrition, carnivore-adjacent eating, food quality, cravings, micronutrients, and why your body may be asking for more than just calories. James also explains the philosophy behind Pluck and why seasoning with organ meats might be one of the easiest ways to upgrade your nutrition. Topics Discussed: • Organ meats & nutrient density • Nose-to-tail nutrition • Modern nutrient deficiencies • Food quality & cravings • Celebrity chef insights • James Barry’s daughter’s health journey • Carnivore & ancestral nutrition • How to eat more organs easily • The philosophy behind Pluck • Why “healthy eating” still fails people Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chefjamesbarry/ [https://www.instagram.com/chefjamesbarry/] Website: https://eatpluck.com/ [https://eatpluck.com/] Everyday Ancestral with James Barry on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC7XF0-HKj3y7c_O-2uoRpfg [https://www.youtube.com/@UC7XF0-HKj3y7c_O-2uoRpfg ] Everyday Ancestral with James Barry on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/60v6ZOabgiJOeW9kjYIf9i [https://open.spotify.com/show/60v6ZOabgiJOeW9kjYIf9i] ORDER MY BOOK COMPLETE CARNIVORE: Amazon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4oFNsgj⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://amzn.to/4oFNsgj] B&N: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/complete-carnivore-jenny-mitich/1146838850?ean=9781628605761&st=AFF&2sid=Random%20House%20Inc_8373827_NA&sourceId=AFFRandom%20House%20Inc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/complete-carnivore-jenny-mitich/1146838850?ean=9781628605761&st=AFF&2sid=Random%20House%20Inc_8373827_NA&sourceId=AFFRandom%20House%20Inc] For international viewers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Complete-Carnivore-by-Jenny-Mitich/9781628605761⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Complete-Carnivore-by-Jenny-Mitich/9781628605761]

The Truth About Parasites, Iodine, and Liver Cleanses (No One Tells You This) with Sara Banta

In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Sara Banta to talk about some of the most misunderstood topics in health right now: iodine, liver cleansing, parasites, and why so many people still feel unwell even when they’re eating better. We get into the iodine and Hashimoto’s debate, how iodine interacts with the thyroid, and why toxin exposure from things like fluoride, bromide, and chlorine may matter more than most people realize. We also talk about liver health, what a liver cleanse is meant to do, and how sluggish detox pathways can affect fat loss, digestion, and energy. We also discuss parasites, common symptoms people may overlook, and how parasite cleansing fits into the bigger picture of gut health and detoxification. If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, bloating, brain fog, thyroid issues, or stubborn weight loss, this is a fascinating conversation that connects a lot of dots.
