Mindsip insights from this episode:
Choose heirloom wheat and dairy to reduce inflammation
The wheat and dairy we consume today have been bred to contain more inflammatory proteins, like gluten and A1 casein, than the heirloom versions our ancestors ate.
Cultivate purpose to extend life by seven years
Having a strong sense of meaning and purpose can extend your life by seven years, an effect as powerful as eliminating both heart disease and cancer.
Choose balanced breakfast to control hunger and weight
Starting your day with sugar or starch, even oatmeal, triggers a stress hormone cascade that makes you hungrier and more likely to gain weight throughout the day.
Balance fasting and protein intake for longevity
To live long, you must both inhibit mTOR with fasting to clean up old cells (autophagy) and stimulate mTOR with high-protein meals to build muscle.
Avoid emulsifiers to protect gut health and prevent autoimmune disease
A primary harm of ultra-processed foods comes from emulsifiers, additives found in items like plant-based milks and breads that damage the gut lining and can cause autoimmune disease.
Address hidden illness: test for pre-autoimmune disease and inflammation
Testing of 150,000 people via Function Health revealed that a third have markers for pre-autoimmune disease and nearly half have significant inflammation.
Reassess insulin levels: aim for optimal under 5, not 'normal' 18
Normal lab ranges are often based on an unhealthy population, so an optimal insulin level should be under 5, not the 'normal' upper limit of 18.
