Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize three-strain GLP-1 formula to enhance gut health
The GLP-1 probiotic formula combines Akkermansia muciniphila and Clostridium butyricum, the only two strains published to increase GLP-1, with Bifidobacterium infantis to support their function.
Reduce food cravings by 91% with GLP-1 probiotic
In a six-week study, 91% of people taking the GLP-1 probiotic had a statistically significant reduction in food cravings for sugars, carbs, fast foods, and high-fat foods.
Detach identity from body to empower change without shame
Detaching your identity from your body's biological state, like food cravings, is an empowering mental shift that allows you to fix the problem without shame.
Focus on cravings reduction for effective body recomposition
The goal should be reducing cravings to enable better food choices and body recomposition, like converting fat to muscle, not just weight loss, which can be a problematic metric.
Avoid two-day-old leftovers to prevent blood sugar spikes
Two-day-old leftovers, particularly with protein like chicken, can cause a significant blood sugar spike due to the growth of histamine, which acts as a stressor on the body.
Leverage Akkermansia muciniphila for blood sugar control and gut health
The strain Akkermansia muciniphila not only stimulates GLP-1 for blood sugar control but also strengthens the gut lining by regulating the mucin layer, which can reduce inflammation.
Biohack by aggressively testing solutions before finding minimum effective dose
The most effective biohacking strategy is to throw everything that might work at a problem to get results, and only then start backing off to find the minimum effective dose.
Boost longevity with Akkermansia muciniphila probiotic strain
People who live to be over 100 years old have been found to have a ton of the probiotic strain Akkermansia muciniphila in their gut.
