Med Beds – Fix You

“Med beds,” short for “medical beds,” are a concept often mentioned in the context of advanced medical technology, futuristic healthcare, or science fiction. They are imagined as highly advanced medical devices that can diagnose, treat, and heal a variety of ailments, often with little to no invasive procedures. Here are a few contexts in which “med beds” are discussed:

  1. Science Fiction: In many sci-fi stories and movies, med beds are portrayed as futuristic devices capable of instantaneously diagnosing and curing illnesses, repairing injuries, and even regenerating lost limbs. They often utilize advanced technologies like nanotechnology, lasers, and artificial intelligence.
  2. Conspiracy Theories and New Age Beliefs: Some conspiracy theories and new age beliefs propose the existence of highly advanced medical technologies, including med beds, that can heal nearly any condition. These claims are often not supported by mainstream science or medicine and should be viewed critically.
  3. Hospital Equipment: In a more grounded sense, “med beds” can refer to the specialized beds used in hospitals and medical facilities. These beds are designed with various features to aid in patient care, such as adjustable height, head and foot positions, and sometimes built-in monitors or medical equipment.

“Let your food be your medicine…

…and your medicine be your food.”

This quote from Hippocrates shows us how much conventional medicine has changed over the years.

If you’re wondering where you’ve seen that name before, you may have heard of the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take to “do no harm” etc. Though the words themselves were probably not penned by Hippocrates, he is attributed with being the father of modern medicine.

Ironic that modern medicine tends to rely on so many synthetic drugs. Looks like the naturopaths are onto something if Hippocrates himself advocates using nutrition as medicine.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine…

…but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Thomas Edison may not have been a doctor, but he sure was onto something. We haven’t gotten there quite yet, but with the growing interest in naturopathic medicine and getting back to natural remedies we might be getting there.

Keto Pyramids

Paleo Diet Food Pyramid Unique Keto vs Paleo What is Keto Diet

Dr. Douglas Howser: Welcome, everyone! Today, we’re diving into the basics of the Keto Diet and the Keto Food Pyramid. Whether you’re new to this way of eating or looking to fine-tune your approach, let’s break it down in a simple and digestible way.

What is the Keto Diet?

The ketogenic diet, or “keto,” is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan designed to shift your body into a state of ketosis. In ketosis, your body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, which can help with weight loss, mental clarity, and energy stability.

The Keto Food Pyramid

Unlike the traditional food pyramid, which emphasizes grains and carbohydrates, the Keto Food Pyramid prioritizes fats and proteins while limiting carbs. Here’s how it looks:

1. Base of the Pyramid – Healthy Fats (70-80%)

Healthy fats form the foundation of the keto diet. These include:

  • Avocados
  • Olive oil & coconut oil
  • Butter & ghee
  • Nuts & seeds (almonds, macadamias, chia seeds)
  • Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel)

2. Mid-Level – Protein (20-25%)

Moderate protein intake is key to preserving muscle mass without disrupting ketosis. Good sources are:

  • Grass-fed beef & poultry
  • Eggs
  • Pork
  • Fish & seafood
  • Cheese (in moderation)

3. Top-Level – Low-Carb Vegetables (5-10%)

Carbs are restricted to 20-50g per day, mainly coming from:

  • Leafy greens (spinach, kale, lettuce)
  • Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts)
  • Zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, and asparagus

Foods to Avoid:

  • Sugar & processed foods
  • Grains (bread, pasta, rice, cereals)
  • Starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn)
  • High-sugar fruits (bananas, grapes, oranges)

Final Thoughts

The keto diet is not just about eating fat—it’s about choosing the right kinds of fats, proteins, and carbs to fuel your body efficiently. By following this pyramid, you can stay in ketosis, improve energy levels, and support overall health.
