Mindsip insights from this episode:

Supplement with high amylose maize, green banana powder, or potato starch

You can supplement with powdered forms of resistant starch, specifically high amylose maize, green banana powder, or potato starch.

#nutrition

#supplement

Alter gut microbiome with resistant starches for health benefits

Resistant starches work by altering your gut microbiome, which was confirmed in studies where microbes from humans were transplanted into mice.

#microbiome

Utilize resistant starch to reduce visceral fat

Across multiple studies, resistant starch supplementation dramatically slashes harmful visceral fat, with one study showing a 300% greater elimination compared to placebo.

#supplement

#visceral-fat

Aim for 40 grams of resistant starch daily for optimal effects

The amount of resistant starch consistently used across studies to achieve remarkable effects is around 40 grams per day, which is the current best target.

#nutrition

Increase resistant starch intake to combat harmful gut bacteria

Consuming too little resistant starch may allow a specific harmful bacterium to thrive in your gut, which research indicates directly contributes to fatty liver.

#fatty-liver

#gut

Start with low dose to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort

To prevent gastrointestinal discomfort, it is best to start with a low dose like 5 grams per day and gradually increase to the 40-gram target.

#dosage

Tailor resistant starch intake to your microbiome response

The benefits you get from resistant starches depend on your existing microbiome, meaning some people are 'high responders' while others are 'low responders'.

#microbiome

#nutrition

Supplement resistant starches to reduce liver fat

Supplementing with resistant starches can eliminate about six times more intrahepatic (liver) fat compared to a placebo, as shown in randomized controlled trials.
