Episode notes
Choose Lectin-Free Seeds
- Avoid sunflower and pumpkin seeds as they are loaded with lectins. Instead, snack on lectin-free seeds like sacha inchi and boronut seeds or pomegranate seeds.
Skip Potato and Corn Chips
- Avoid potato and corn chips due to lectins and omega-6 oils. Opt for snacks low in carbs and lectins to avoid raising insulin and triglycerides.
Use Sorghum Popcorn
- Replace popcorn with sorghum popcorn for a lectin-free alternative. Add olive oil to make it a healthier snack and enhance nutrient absorption.
