[06:21] Carnivore Diet Journey: What Did Sarah Learn? •       Dietary trends often follow a progression, but individual experiences may vary. •       Prolonged adherence to extreme diets may lead to health issues and hormonal imbalances. •       Pay attention to your body's signals and be open to dietary adjustments when needed. •       Hormone imbalances can impact fertility and overall well-being. •       Community support is valuable, but it's important to prioritize your health and listen to your body.  [20:17] Leptin and Hormonal Impact •       Leptin is a crucial circadian signaling hormone that influences various body systems. •       Continuous ketosis and excessive fasting can lead to low leptin levels, affecting hormonal balance. •       The dietary approach and meal timing can significantly impact leptin levels and overall health. •       Avoid dogmatic dietary adherence and focus on individualized approaches for hormonal balance. •       Leptin resistance can manifest as both high and low leptin levels, requiring different strategies for management. [27:21] Dietary Dogma: Metabolic Health •       Avoid dogmatic dietary adherence; prioritize metabolic health and flexibility. •       Embrace cyclical nutrition, considering seasonal and local foods. •       Gradual reintroduction of carbohydrates can be beneficial for metabolic flexibility. •       Incorporate light exposure, especially UVA and UVB, to support neurotransmitter balance. •       Combining carb reintroduction with light exposure can help individuals transition without fear of binge eating.  [34:44] Nutrition, Circadian Rhythm, and Red Light Therapy •       Reduce sunglass usage during daylight to benefit from natural light exposure. •       Carefully balance macronutrients, avoiding high-fat and high-carb meals together. •       Utilize red light therapy on the abdomen to support gut health and hormonal balance. •       Implement circadian rhythm strategies, such as grounding and blocking blue light at night. [40:37] Cold Plunges for Health •       Cold plunges are hormetic stressors that should be approached with caution, especially for those with certain health conditions. •       Start cold plunging at a higher temperature and gradually decrease the temperature over time to adapt. •       Pay attention to how your body feels after cold plunging;
