Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize food as a survival signal to avoid scarcity mindset
Food acts as an informational cue that can mistakenly tell our bodies to prepare for a winter of scarcity that never arrives.
Monitor blood sugar levels to protect brain health
Threats to your brain health begin at a blood sugar level of 105, a value far lower than the official cutoff for a diabetes diagnosis.
Aim for optimal health values to prevent risks
Significant health risks begin at lab values still considered 'normal,' such as a uric acid level above 5.5 mg/dL, long before symptoms like gout appear.
Address elevated uric acid to combat metabolic issues
Recent research reveals elevated uric acid is not just correlated with metabolic problems but is a central, causative player in driving them.
Reduce inflammation to enhance decision-making and empathy
Inflammation from a poor diet can sever the connection to your brain's prefrontal cortex, making you more impulsive and less empathetic.
Limit fructose intake to prevent liver overload
The small intestine can only process about five grams of fructose at once, with any excess overwhelming the liver and triggering fat production.
Limit fructose to prevent fat storage and metabolic issues
Fructose is metabolized into uric acid, which acts as a switch that tells the body to increase fat storage, raise blood sugar, and elevate blood pressure.
Recognize sweetness as a modern health risk
Our evolutionary hardwiring to seek sweet foods for safety is now exploited, as the most toxic modern foods are often the sweetest.
