Episode notes

There's essentially two main pathways, some sort of chronic inflammation leading to high levels of cortisol. And then the second pathway that it seemed like you were talking about with diabetes is kind of this broken, excessive lipolysis. So we just foreshadowed a lot of cool things that I don't get into into the podcast. We talked about serotonin, we talked about estrogen, you mentioned polyunsaturated fats or pufas from seed oils primarily.

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. Sit back, relax and put on your open-minded thinking cap–you might learn a thing or two.
