Episode notes
Mitochondrial Gridlock
- Americans overeat, consuming food for nearly 16 hours a day, leading to mitochondrial overload.
- This constant intake, combined with processed foods, creates "mitochondrial gridlock," hindering energy production.
Dietary Recommendations for Energy
- Avoid processed and ultra-processed foods, prioritizing whole foods.
- Eliminate lectin-containing foods or prepare them properly (pressure cooking beans, etc.) to reduce gut disruption.
Time-Restricted Eating
- Practice time-restricted eating, gradually increasing the fasting window to allow for mitochondrial repair.
- Avoid immediately jumping into long fasting periods, especially if insulin resistant, as it may lead to difficulties.
