Episode notes

There's some people out there in the nutrition space who just believe that you need to kill yourself in the gym. And I loved your perspective that it's probably adequate nutrients and an absence of stress hormones. People need to understand that if you over exert yourself, you're increasing your stress hormones - which is this serotonin cortisol cycle we wanna stay out of.

In today’s episode, Paul chats with Bioenergetic Health researcher, Georgi Dinkov. They jump down the rabbit hole on a myriad of topics, including the distinction between table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, how starch damages the gut, polyunsaturated fatty acids, sunlight, emfs and more.
