Mindsip insights from this episode:
Avoid red meat to prevent immune system attacks on blood vessels and joints
The sugar molecule Neu5Gc from red meat gets incorporated directly into your blood vessels and joints, causing your immune system to attack them.
Ferment meats and age cheeses to eliminate harmful Neu5Gc
The process of fermenting meats to make traditional sausages or aging hard cheeses like Parmesan eliminates the harmful Neu5Gc molecule because bacteria consume it.
Avoid chicken for better omega-6 to omega-3 balance
Even organic, free-range chicken is often fed corn and soy, resulting in an inflammatory omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 25-to-1, making it like an 'ear of corn with feathers'.
Reverse gluten sensitivity by repairing leaky gut
By repairing a leaky gut over nine months to a year, you can eliminate antibodies to wheat components and retrain your immune system to no longer react to gluten.
Address glyphosate's impact on mental health by protecting gut bacteria
Glyphosate can cause anxiety and depression by targeting the tryptophan pathway in gut bacteria, which is essential for producing serotonin.
Understand gut microbiome's role in SSRI effectiveness
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) don't primarily work on the brain but rather by changing the composition of your gut microbiome.
Boost vitamin C levels by consuming olive oil
Consuming olive oil can double your body's vitamin C levels because it appears to activate a dormant gene responsible for endogenous vitamin C production.
Investigate smoker longevity paradox in high-antioxidant diets
In longevity hotspots like Sardinia and Ikaria, it is the male smokers who live the longest, suggesting nicotine may have benefits when combined with a high-antioxidant diet.
Understand gut bacteria's role in hormone production
A field called microbial endocrinology shows that the microbiome is in charge of producing most hormones, such as serotonin and the 'love hormone' oxytocin.
