INSIGHT

Ketones' True Role

Ketones are not a superfuel, but a signaling molecule.
They instruct mitochondria to protect themselves and improve efficiency during starvation.

INSIGHT

Metabolic Inflexibility

Metabolic flexibility, the ability to switch between burning sugar and fat, is crucial.

Exploring Nutrition and Mitochondrial Health: A Call to Action

In 'Blood and Thunder', Hampton Sides provides a detailed and engaging history of the American West, focusing on the life of Kit Carson, a trapper, scout, and soldier. The book spans over three decades, from the early days of the trappers to the final pacification of the Navajo by General Sherman. It explores the complexities of Carson's personality, his respect for and interactions with Native American tribes, and his role in the devastating conflicts that shaped the region. The narrative also delves into the broader historical context, including the Mexican-American War and the ideology of 'Manifest Destiny', highlighting the brutal and often overlooked aspects of the American West's conquest.

The Energy Paradox

What to Do When Your Get-Up-and-Go Has Got Up and Gone

Steven Gundry, MD

In 'The Energy Paradox', Dr. Steven R. Gundry expands on his previous discussions of gut, microbiome, and mitochondrial health, linking immune malfunction to the mental and physical symptoms of fatigue. The book offers a fresh look at one of the top health issues plaguing Americans—fatigue—and provides tools to quiet the autoimmune battle within, which depletes energy reserves and leads to mood disorders and weight gain. Dr. Gundry includes new guidelines on increasing mitochondrial energy production, nourishing the microbiome, and lists of energy-boosting and energy-depleting foods, along with 30 new Plant Paradox-approved recipes.

Unlocking the Keto Code

Steven Gundry

In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry reveals the biological mechanism behind keto diets, focusing on a cellular process called 'mitochondrial uncoupling. ' He explains that ketones are not the sole fuel source and that a very low-carb diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health. Instead, Gundry proposes a more flexible approach, incorporating plant-based foods, ketone-generating foods like goat and sheep milk products, and timed eating schedules to achieve the benefits of ketosis without extreme carb restriction. The book is grounded in cutting-edge science and includes food lists, hacks, and new recipes, making it accessible for those who have tried and failed on traditional keto diets, as well as vegetarians and vegans.

The ketogenic diet is so popular that it was searched over 25 million times in one year. Some experts support its effectiveness to help people lose weight, while others claim that it’s the worst diet to try. Research and data have advanced and proven that everyone has it wrong. Dr. Steven Gundry is with Tom explaining why he and the rest of the medical community got ketosis all wrong. He shares why mitochondrial uncoupling is really the star and this is what you need to know to make your dieting experience easier and more effortless. No need to live completely devoid of carbohydrates on a keto diet any longer.
