Mindsip insights from this episode:
Incorporate under-desk treadmill for fat loss and lean mass gain
A study showed that using an under-desk treadmill at a slow speed for 2.5 hours a day resulted in significant fat loss and lean mass gain in just two weeks.
Address bad energy trifecta to combat chronic diseases
Most chronic diseases stem from a trifecta of mitochondrial dysfunction (rolling blackouts), chronic inflammation (biochemical fear), and oxidative stress (wildfires).
Address healthcare silos to improve health outcomes
The modern healthcare system's focus on specializing in downstream symptoms, rather than the root cause of metabolic dysfunction, is a fundamental reason why health outcomes are worsening.
Reconnect with nature to enhance metabolic health
The average American spends a staggering 93.7% of their time indoors, disconnecting us from natural signals like light and temperature that are crucial for metabolic health.
Incorporate spinach daily to enhance GLP-1 secretion
Research shows that eating about 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of spinach daily can significantly increase the secretion of the satiety hormone GLP-1, due to its thylakoid content.
Boost GLP-1 naturally with specific foods
You can naturally increase GLP-1, the hormone targeted by drugs like Ozempic, by eating specific foods like spinach (for thylakoids), fiber, and protein, and inhibiting its breakdown with foods like black beans and oregano.
Limit ultra-processed food to control overeating
An NIH study where people had unlimited food access found they automatically ate 500 more calories per day when the food was ultra-processed compared to when it was unprocessed.
Prioritize frequent movement over single intense workouts for better glucose control
Moving for just one to two minutes every 30 minutes is biochemically superior for all-day glucose control than doing a single, intense one-hour workout and sitting the rest of the day.
