Episode notes

The benefits of fasting, primarily reduction of endotoxin, coming from undigested food in the colon. You can achieve that by reducing your insoluble fiber and eating more simple carbohydrates. Cortisol to DHA ratio naturally increases as we age; it should not be more than 0.5. If you're doing blood tests, I would do maybe like every few weeks for maybe like a month or two and see how they are.

This week, Paul has Georgi Dinkov back on the podcast for the third time to cover a plethora of topics: the benefits versus risks of carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes, the root causes of diabetes and cancer, and so much more.
