Episode notes

Cortisol activates both aromatase and tryptophan hydroxylase. And unfortunately these two estrogen, which is the bi-protocharomatase, serotonin, they go right back to activate cortisol. So this really pernicious mechanism that basically these chronic stress cycles feed up of each other. It's a positive feedback cycle. One of the things that I think humans can do, and I found this out firsthand when I added back honey and fruits, my carnivore diet is eat some carbohydrates.

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.
