Mindsip insights from this episode:
Mimic natural dietary rhythms with foraging and feasting days
Mimic natural dietary rhythms by having a 'foraging' day of lower-calorie plant foods followed by a 'feasting' day with higher-calorie animal proteins and intense exercise.
Avoid carnivore diets to maintain gut diversity
Carnivore diets can reduce the diversity of Bifidobacteria, which are needed to control Akkermansia levels and prevent potential gut lining issues.
Optimize gut microbiome to handle oxalate-rich foods
There are over 500 species of bacteria in the gut that can break down oxalates, meaning an optimized microbiome can handle oxalate-rich foods like leafy greens.
Limit saturated fat intake to reduce cardiovascular risk with age
As we age, hyperactive NOX enzymes in our blood vessels can turn saturated fats into harmful oxysterols, which the body struggles to clear, increasing cardiovascular risk.
Embrace vilified foods to balance your diet
The food group vilified by one diet camp is exactly what you need to offset the toxicities of your own 'hero' food.
Monitor neurotensin levels to prevent weight regain
The hormone neurotensin, which throttles food reward, drops after fat loss and is the number one predictor of regaining weight.
Stimulate satiety with a pre-dinner GLP-1 shake
A pre-dinner shake with whey protein, honey, and 200mg of stevia can stimulate the satiety hormone GLP-1, as stevia's effect is enhanced when combined with sugar.
Utilize palatinose for effective weight loss
Palatinose is a sugar with a very slow glycemic yield similar to raw oats that has been shown in research to help with weight loss.
Take a cold plunge before workouts to boost endorphins and testosterone
Doing a cold plunge before exercise is preferable as it can boost endorphins and testosterone without the potential anti-inflammatory drop seen with post-exercise cold exposure.
Combine dairy with meat to prevent iron overload
Casein phosphopeptides found in dairy can bind to heme iron from meat, making dairy a synergistic food to consume to prevent iron overload.
