Mindsip insights from this episode:
Consume organs to harness healing signaling molecules
The benefits of eating organs may come from signaling molecules like microRNAs that support the corresponding organ, not just from their nutrient content.
Avoid fast-food french fries to reduce cancer risk
A large serving of fast-food french fries contains an amount of carcinogenic oxidation products equivalent to smoking 25 cigarettes.
Protect cells from seed oil damage with dairy fat
Odd-chain fatty acids found in dairy fat, like C15, may protect your cells from a type of cell death (ferroptosis) caused by seed oil consumption.
Challenge the assumption that high LDL causes arterial plaque
In a study of lean individuals on keto diets, there was zero correlation between extremely high LDL levels (average 273) and the amount of arterial plaque.
Commit to a decade-long detox from seed oils
Because the half-life of fat in your cell membranes is over two years, it can take nearly a decade to fully remodel your cells after you stop eating seed oils.
Beware downsides of strict carnivore diet on health
A strict meat, organs, and salt diet can lead to electrolyte insufficiency, heart palpitations, and a significant drop in testosterone.
Recognize insulin spikes as beneficial for electrolyte retention
Post-meal insulin spikes are beneficial and signal the kidneys to retain essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
Limit oxalates in smoothies to avoid toxicity
A single spinach and kale smoothie can contain five times the amount of oxalates your body can eliminate in a day.
Focus on food quality, not calorie counting
The concept of 'calories in, calories out' is a distraction from food quality, potentially promoted by big food companies to sell processed foods.
Avoid oatmeal to preserve your body's minerals
Due to remaining phytic acid even after cooking, every bowl of oatmeal you eat chelates and removes minerals from your body.
