Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize N-acetylcysteine as an OTC supplement for glutathione boost
The drug Mucomist, used in emergency rooms for Tylenol overdose, is N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a supplement you can buy over the counter to boost glutathione.
Choose Purity Coffee for organic quality and health benefits
Purity Coffee is mentioned by name as a great company for organic coffee, which is important as coffee is a highly sprayed crop.
Reverse fatty liver in four to six weeks by stopping alcohol consumption
Fatty liver caused by alcohol can develop in as little as two weeks, but can also resolve within four to six weeks of stopping consumption.
Prioritize reducing sugar to combat hypertension
Sugar is often more important for causing hypertension than salt because it raises uric acid, which inhibits the body's natural blood pressure-lowering mechanisms.
Recognize shifting lab ranges as indicators of population health decline
The upper limit of normal for the ALT liver test has doubled from 25 to 50 because the general population has become sicker, not because the higher level is healthy.
Request fasting insulin test to assess metabolic health
A fasting insulin level is arguably the single most important lab test for determining metabolic health, yet it is rarely ordered by conventional doctors.
Address mitochondrial dysfunction to combat insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is a direct manifestation of mitochondrial dysfunction, meaning the energy-burning factories inside your cells are not working efficiently.
Distinguish insulin secretion from resistance to combat chronic diseases
Insulin secretion primarily causes weight gain, while insulin resistance is the key driver of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Eliminate unnecessary fructose from your diet
Unlike glucose, which your body will make if needed, there is no biochemical reaction in any vertebrate that requires dietary fructose for life.
