Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize epigenetic tests to assess alcohol intake
A recent epigenetic test can determine how much alcohol you drink just by looking at the epigenetic marks on your genome.
Avoid glyphosate on wheat to protect gut health
Wheat is often sprayed with the weed killer glyphosate at harvest to dry it out, which acts like an antibiotic by wiping out good gut bacteria and damaging the gut lining.
Choose ancient grains to reduce inflammation from modern wheat
The dwarf wheat we eat today has been hybridized to have a much higher starch and gluten content, making it more likely to cause leaky gut and inflammation than wheat from 100 years ago.
Avoid emulsifiers and thickeners to reduce inflammation
Emulsifiers and thickeners like carrageenan and xanthan gum, common in processed foods, can irritate the gut lining, cause leaky gut, and drive systemic inflammation.
Experience 62% symptom reduction with a 10-day detox
In a study group, a 10-day detox diet led to a 62% reduction across all symptoms from all diseases, including fatigue, migraines, and joint pain.
Use food as code to influence gene expression for health
Food is information that acts like code, upgrading or downgrading your biological software by telling your genes whether to express health or disease.
Address FLC syndrome to combat fatigue and inflammation
The collection of common low-level symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and skin issues is termed FLC (Feel Like Crap) Syndrome, which stems from chronic, low-level systemic inflammation.
Choose sheep, goat, or A2 dairy to reduce inflammation
If you consume dairy, choose better-tolerated options like sheep or goat dairy, or milk from grass-fed A2 cows, as the A1 casein in conventional milk is a primary driver of inflammation.
Quit all sweeteners for 10 days to reset your system
To reset your system and break addiction cycles, you should quit all forms of sugar and sweeteners, including stevia and xylitol, cold turkey for at least 10 days.
