Walk us through a day in your life, what do you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, and when do you eat it?

 

Listener Questions:

Q1 - 16:25
Q: Since I’ve been doing Intermittent Fasting, almost EVERYTHING on my lab work has improved. The only area that has not improved is my cholesterol-  my cholesterol levels are really high and I think the reason is because I’ve been eating so much fat. My good cholesterol is really good, but my bad cholesterol is really high. Can you explain the difference in the two types of cholesterol? What do you think is causing this? I don’t understand why everything is improving through Intermittent Fasting EXCEPT this? I am also eating cleaner than I ever have!

 Q2 - 22:22

Q: I just recently had a food sensitivity test and the things that I got red flagged on were things like spinach, lettuce and pineapple- which I thought was a little strange. I took another one and it came back different, and it red flagged all these different healthy vegetables. Do you think these food sensitivity tests are legit? If so, why are they coming out different?  Do you think my issues have anything to do with leaky gut?

-Daphne in Texas

 

Q3 - 27:15

Q: Slowly, it seems like all of my friends are becoming vegan. They have me watching documentaries and are trying to convince me to give up meats. My diet is currently meats, vegetables, and cheese, I am Keto for the most part. I feel really great when I eat this way, and I find my body craving things like red meat. What do I say to these friends that are hell bent on getting everyone they know to stop eating meat?

Q: I have developed Sleep Apnea over the past year or so, which I am reading can be really bad for my heart. How can I change up my diet and try to treat this naturally before it gets worse?

-Terri in Charlottesville

 

Q5 - 34:30

Q: I have both Fatty liver and Hypothyroidism. What do you recommend for me to do? I’m trying Intermittent Fasting and Keto now but not so sure if that’s what I really needed. Should I do Paleo and IF instead? 

-Bess

Q6 - 39:03

Q: On your podcast, you’ve talked about the importance of tons of fiber. What are some of my best options for supplements? I’ve tried Metamucil a few times and it always makes me feel really bloated and gross.

-Angela in Northern VA

 

 Q7 - 41:00

Q: I’ve been reading a lot of different things about the supplement Berberine, and how good it is for you.  I am really trying to simplify my supplements like you talked about on the podcast, but this one keeps coming up everywhere! Is it something I should add to my daily repertoire?

-Haley in Georgia

 

Q8 - 43:17

Q: Recently I’ve heard an increase in the trend of the Carnivore diet, both in the Paleo and Ketogenic communities I follow. I have a friend that does this, and he eats several meats per meal, and it’s all he eats! No veggies or anything. What is your opinion on this way of life, besides it not being too tasty, I just can’t wrap my mind around getting all the nutrients I need from meat alone?
