Mindsip insights from this episode:
Identify glyphosate and FODMAPs as true gut issue culprits
The real culprits behind gut issues often attributed to gluten are glyphosate (an herbicide used on wheat) and FODMAPs (fermentable carbohydrates).
Save carbohydrates for dinner to enhance muscle building and sleep
For muscle building, consider saving the majority of your carbohydrate intake for dinner to improve sleep via serotonin production and replenish glycogen for the next day's workout.
Avoid cracked Teflon pans to prevent microplastic exposure
A single crack on a Teflon pan can release around 9,100 microplastic particles, with a damaged coating releasing up to 2.3 million.
Utilize Botox to enhance male organ health and blood flow
Injecting Botox into male sexual organs can relax smooth muscle tissue and improve blood flow, a procedure offered at some regenerative clinics.
Utilize salmon sperm DNA and growth factors for innovative facial treatment
A novel facial treatment involves microneedling followed by applying DNA and growth factors derived from salmon sperm to the skin.
Infuse young plasma to boost energy and reduce sleep needs
Infusing plasma from young, healthy donors (18-25 years old) can dramatically increase energy levels and reduce the need for sleep.
Utilize drinkable ketones to enhance red blood cell production
Drinkable ketones like Ketone IQ can act as a natural EPO boost by activating HIF1-alpha pathways, which stimulates your body's own production of red blood cells for better oxygen delivery.
Choose Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat flour for optimal health
Dr. Jeffrey Bland's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat flour is recommended as a top choice for a healthy, ancient grain that is not sprayed with herbicides.
