Episode notes
Health Collapse Led To A New Path
- Gwyneth described developing heavy periods, anxiety and rapid weight gain that drove her into naturopathic school and then a pro-metabolic path.
- She left naturopathic school and created her own approach after meeting a pro-metabolic mentor who changed her view on sugar and metabolism.
High Protein Has Hidden Costs
- Excessively high protein intake may be inflammatory due to methionine, cysteine and tryptophan driving stress pathways.
- Glycine-rich collagen or gelatin can counterbalance those inflammatory amino acids and support metabolism.
Use The Sugar Diet As A Short Tool
- Try the sugar diet short-term for rapid fat loss by keeping fat low and eating carbs and protein mostly at dinner.
- Use it as a flexible, time-limited tool rather than a long-term lifestyle to avoid adverse effects.
