Mindsip insights from this episode:
Consciously choose health poisons and offset their damage
Instead of aiming for an unrealistic perfect lifestyle, consciously choose your 'poisons' like alcohol or hair dye and then take extra steps to offset the damage.
Bind gut metals using silica-based binder without chelation
You can use a silica-based binder like Quicksilver's IMD to bind mercury and arsenic in the gut, avoiding the need for systemic chelating agents.
Embrace inconsistency in ancestral diets for optimal health
The most consistent thing about ancestral diets is their inconsistency, as we evolved without constant access to any single food group like meat, carbs, or fat.
Critique extreme low-fat Ornish diet and its corporate ties
The Ornish diet is heavily criticized for its extreme low-fat approach, with claims that it is ineffective and that its founder has ties to companies like PepsiCo.
Investigate link between oral bacteria and Alzheimer's plaques
The bacteria P. gingivalis, associated with gingivitis, has been found inside the amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients on autopsy.
Utilize Zbiotics to break down alcohol toxins for better recovery
A genetically engineered probiotic drink called Zbiotics produces an enzyme that breaks down aldehyde, the toxic byproduct of alcohol that makes you feel bad the next day.
Adopt permanent brain-healthy lifestyle to reverse Alzheimer's
Reversing Alzheimer's is not a one-time cure but requires adopting a permanent brain-healthy lifestyle to maintain cognitive improvements.
Reverse cognitive decline without perfection
You don't have to be perfect to reverse cognitive decline, as a clinical trial showed 74% of participants improved their cognition without any of them following the entire protocol.
