Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize 24-hour fast to repair leaky gut more effectively than probiotics
A 24-hour fast can be more powerful for repairing a leaky gut than supplements because it reboots intestinal stem cells and helps microbes relocate for better nutrient absorption.
Implement a 36-hour fast to reduce visceral belly fat
Research shows that a 36-hour fast can specifically target and reduce visceral belly fat by helping to convert white fat into more easily burnable brown fat.
Reset dopamine system with a 48-hour fast
A 48-hour fast can reset your entire dopamine system and even create more D2 receptor sites, allowing you to get more pleasure from simple things.
Recognize 'hangry' as a sign of mitochondrial dysfunction
If you struggle to go without food and get 'hangry,' it's a warning sign of mitochondrial dysfunction, not a personal failing.
Lift heavy weights during ovulation for optimal muscle growth
Women should lift heavy weights during ovulation (days 11-15) to take advantage of the natural testosterone surge for building muscle.
Understand pre-period carb cravings as biological needs
The week before your period, your body becomes naturally more insulin resistant because it needs higher glucose to make progesterone, which is why you crave carbs.
Maintain estrobolome to regulate estrogen and prevent fat storage
A specific set of gut bacteria called the estrobolome breaks down estrogen, and if it's depleted, your body may store estrogen as fat on your arms and belly.
Avoid toxic perfumes to protect hormonal health
The hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which control hormones, are not protected by a blood-brain barrier, allowing toxins from products like perfumes to directly disrupt your hormonal system.
Scan beauty and household products for toxins with Think Dirty app
You can use an app called 'Think Dirty' to scan your beauty and household products to see if they contain harmful toxins.
