Food proof radio state of high performance your listening to bullet proof radio with Dave asprey today it's all about food allergies why you can say you don't have food allergies the odds are actually but you probably have some that you don't know about because it's not like allergies or binary where you either have them or you don't you just may have some things that cause a little bit of inflammation and some may not even be allergies at all.

This is something that is a vaccine problem for huge numbers of people and it's something that really played a role in helping me to become what dare I say bullet proof in terms of understanding why I had joint pain inflammation all sorts of other things.

The allergic response is something that's still mysterious and I found an amazing expert for you.

A physician scientist named doctor carry no no you could call her one of the world's leading experts on food allergy both in adults and kids because she's the director of the Sean in Parker center for allergy and asthma research at a little university you might have heard of called Stanford.

And she's looking at how we can prevent allergies and cure allergies and asthma and she spent about 30 years looking at environmental and genetic factors that caused these things by the way did have asthma as a kid and I still have some food allergies what's my did.

So this is personal to me but I think it's going to be of great service to listeners and I mean carry your you're looking at 25 clinical trials got a team in a lab at Stanford and in your book which just came out called the end of food allergy you say 32 million Americans have food allergies.

How do you know.

Thanks Dave and thanks for inviting me on your show so excited to be here I I know because we work as part of a team in no one person can do this all that's for sure and we work as part of a global network of team to be able to combat this epidemic and we only know it's an epidemic because we have to know the numbers.

How do we know the numbers that's because we work really hard to be able to go across the world and get good questionnaires out to people and understand do you have a doctor's diagnosis of food allergy and we did just that thousands and thousands of questioners about the globe I before the time of COVID used to travel throughout the world to try to understand if these numbers were real or not and unfortunately in the US it is true we have quite a few people with food allergies diagnosed by their doctorate.

For children it's about 8% of kids for adults we were really surprised to find out there was 10% of adults in the US.

For more than 10 years I have been looking at ketones and mitochondria and it's very clear that ketones can give you mitochondria superpowers in fact I've written about it in a couple of my books it's in the bulletproof diet it's in fast this way and actually the other ones too.

You don't always have to be in ketosis but when you turn on your ketones especially at high levels for brief periods magic can happen we're talking better energy better focus better endurance even better hydration.

I've been working with a company called health via modern nutrition or HVMN that created ketone IQ daily ketones supplement drink does any sugar or stimulants it's just clean energy for better physical and cognitive performance.

I feel the difference if I'm meditating if I'm doing neurofeedback if I'm working out or just what I need extra energy to do something really intense go to HVMN dot com slash Dave use code Dave 20 they'll give you 20% off that's HVMN dot com slash Dave use code Dave 20 they'll give you 20% off this is worth a try.

Now that's interesting because you did mention an epidemic of food allergies and that seems like a very useful word.

However in almost all epidemics you have the number of people you've tested and then you have the number of people who are actually affected.
