Mindsip insights from this episode:
Give a living eulogy on birthdays to express appreciation
Instead of waiting until someone is gone, give them a 'living eulogy' on their birthday by sharing what you love and appreciate about them.
Prioritize exercise over metformin for AMPK regulation
Exercise is a more effective way to regulate the longevity pathway AMPK than taking the popular anti-aging drug metformin.
Measure fasting insulin to assess metabolic freedom for sugar
Your ability to tolerate sugar is determined by your 'metabolic degrees of freedom,' which can be measured by a fasting insulin level of less than five.
Reintroduce foods after detox one group at a time
When reintroducing foods after an elimination diet, add back only one food group at a time for three days to accurately determine how your body reacts to it.
Uncover hidden sugars in food products
Food companies often use four or five different types of sugar in a single product so that sugar does not have to be listed as the first ingredient on the label.
Beware sugar alcohols to prevent bloating and digestive issues
Sugar alcohols, often found in 'health foods' and ending in '-ol' like erythritol or xylitol, are not absorbed well and can cause significant bloating, gas, and diarrhea by feeding gut bacteria.
