The Nick Bare Podcast 013: Dr. Kyle Gillett - The 6 Pillars for Optimal Health, Hormones, and Vitality
Tools for Health
- Diet and exercise can resolve most health conditions, but sometimes medication or supplements are necessary tools.
- View these tools as temporary aids, like a shovel to help you climb out of quicksand, while lifestyle changes provide the long-term solution.
Optimal Diet
- The optimal diet is not one-size-fits-all but rather one that the individual can stick to consistently.
- Consider factors like individual metabolic needs, performance goals, and nutrient intake when creating a dietary plan.
Individual Diet Responses
- Some people report reduced inflammation on a plant-based diet, while others experience the same on a carnivore diet.
- This highlights the individual variability in dietary responses, potentially influenced by genetics.
Today on the show, we have Dr. Kyle Gillett, a renowned advocate for holistic individualized care. With his vast expertise spanning preventive medicine, aesthetics, sports medicine, hormone optimization, infertility, precision medicine, and genomics, Dr. Gillett passionately believes in a comprehensive approach to achieving optimal health.
