What you'll learn from this episode:
How black and white thinking might be what’s keeping you unhealthy, and the biggest weight loss myths, including that you should only focus on calories in/calories out, or that you should exclusively focus on insulin and hormone balance.
What a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) is, and why wearing one helps you cultivate an awareness of how your unique body responds to certain foods, exercise, stress, and sleep.
Why glucose is a good biomarker to focus on—having stable glucose means having stable energy and being able to focus. Weight loss is often a side effect of stable blood sugar.
How to understand your genetic risk factors, including things like APOe4 gene, which increases your risk for developing Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease—and why genetic predisposition is only part of the equation, which Kara likens to a loaded gun—the trigger is pulled by your habits and lifestyle, which you have control over.
Why the omnivore diet is optimal, how to enhance your body’s natural detoxification processes, and Max’s tasty overnight oats recipe that fuels his morning workouts!
And much more!
