In this episode, Dr. Zaldivar discusses the Carnivore Diet and its impact on health and weight loss transformation. We explore how the Carnivore Diet and exercise can restore brain D2 dopamine receptors, enhancing weight loss and overall well-being. We delve into the dangers of sugar and artificial sweeteners in fueling addiction and lowering dopamine levels. The conversation highlights the food industry's production of addictive foods and the Carnivore Diet's effectiveness in achieving significant weight loss results. Additionally, Dr. Zaldivar talks about high-intensity workouts for boosting dopamine, building D2 receptors, and achieving a higher baseline dopamine level. We review a Harvard study on the Carnivore Diet. We also discuss her struggles with acne, the use of Accutane, and her experiences with dermatology. Finally, we provide guidance and strategies on starting the diet and incorporating exercise into daily life. ------------------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE TO Spotify: https://shorturl.at/wAKM2 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ee/podcast/inka-land-podcast/id1654391974 ------------------------------------------------------ SIGN UP / FOLLOW Newsletter: https://www.inkaland.co/newsletter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iaminkaland/ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@iaminkaland?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------------------ DR SARAH ZALDIVAR LINKS Website: https://www.drsarahzaldivar.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.sarah.zaldivar Spotify (music): https://open.spotify.com/artist/6sQCUMHpICLzamCmIbYr9K Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.sarah.zaldivar/ ------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER https://www.inkaland.co/disclaimer ------------------------------------------------------ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introuction 00:38 Dr. Sarah Zaldivar background 04:00 What is the Carnivore Diet vs Keto Diet (Ketogenic Diet) 04:55 Human Brain Development and Diet History 10:30 Why Dr Zardivar is Doing the Carnivore Diet 11:25 Dr. Loren Cordain and Paleo Diet for Acne 12:55 Acne Struggle: Accutane and Dermatology 14:50 Fear, beta-blocker, and Anxiety Treatments 17:00 Learning more About Carnivore Diet, Paul Saladino 19:55 How To Transition to Carnivore Diet: Is 30 Days of Carnivore Hard 22:10 Brain Dopamine: Sugar Addiction and Artificial Sweeteners 25:20 Brain Scans: Dopamine, Obesity, Food Addiction 26:45 Dopamine: How Dopamine Works, D2 receptors. addiction 30:45 Food Industry: Addictive Foods 34:15 Carnivore Diet Results: Weight Loss Transformation 35:40 Why Carnivore Works for Addiction 36:30 Dopamine: High-Intensity Workout for Dopamine 39:00 Build D2 receptors and Higher Baseline Dopamine 41:00 Harvard Carnivore Diet Study 43:40 How To Start?
