Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prepare gut with prebiotics before taking probiotics
Taking probiotics is often ineffective because you must first change the gut environment with prebiotics, like fiber, so the new bacteria can survive.
Identify hidden sugars to reduce daily intake
The real issue with sugar is not the dessert you knowingly eat, but the hidden sugar in items like bread and sauces that results in you eating four 'desserts' a day.
Treat food labels as warning signs for processed ingredients
Real food doesn't have a label, so every food label should be considered a warning label because it means something has been done to the food.
Recognize metabolically healthy obesity in health discussions
20% of the obese population is metabolically healthy, while conversely, 60% of the normal-weight population is metabolically ill.
Avoid blending fruit to preserve its fiber benefits
Using a blender like a Vitamix shears the insoluble fiber in fruit, destroying its ability to form a protective barrier in the gut that prevents sugar from flooding the liver.
Reevaluate glycemic index for accurate health insights
The glycemic index is a useless tool because it doesn't account for the glycemic load or the metabolic damage caused by fructose.
Reassess 'normal' ALT liver test limits to reflect true health risks
The upper limit for a 'normal' ALT liver test should be 25, not the current 40, which has been skewed higher because 45% of the American population now has fatty liver disease.
Utilize Perfect tool to filter unhealthy foods at grocery store
A free online tool called Perfect (PERFAC.co) acts as a recommendation engine to help you filter out metabolically unhealthy foods at the grocery store.
