Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize three-day fasts to overcome weight loss plateaus
A three-day water fast can be used as a tool to break through weight loss plateaus when shorter fasting periods have stopped being effective.
Achieve ketogenesis with a 36-hour fast
The main biochemical advantage of a 36-hour fast over a 24-hour one is that by 36 hours, almost all individuals will have entered a state of ketogenesis.
Evaluate your social support system with the midnight friend test
To assess the strength of your social support system, ask yourself who you could call in the middle of the night if you were sick or scared, as everyone needs at least one or two of these secure relationships.
Strengthen feet by wearing minimalist shoes for six months
A University of Liverpool study found that simply living in minimalist shoes like Vivo Barefoot for six months can increase foot strength by 60% without any specific exercises.
Rethink sleep duration: seven hours optimizes health
The idea that you need eight hours of sleep is a cultural myth, as hunter-gatherer studies show they sleep between 5.9 and 7.1 hours, and large epidemiological studies point to seven hours as the optimum for health.
Run to promote knee health and cartilage growth
Contrary to popular belief, research from multiple randomized control studies shows that running is actually healthy for your knees and good for cartilage growth, and does not cause higher rates of arthritis.
Create a fatty salad with olive oil for optimal nutrient absorption
To maximize nutrient absorption from dark leafy greens, you should consume them as a "fatty salad" with a liberal amount of extra virgin olive oil, which makes fat-soluble phytochemicals more bioavailable.
Follow great-grandfather diet rule to choose real food
A simple dietary rule is to avoid anything your great-great-grandfather wouldn't recognize as food, particularly items in a packet, box, with a barcode, or made into a flour.
