Episode notes
Rethink Smoothies For Breakfast
- Avoid replacing whole-food breakfasts with blended fruit smoothies that spike blood sugar.
- Eat whole fruit or pair fruit with protein, fat, or fiber-rich bowls instead.
Swap Some Cardio For Strength
- Do strength training two to three times a week instead of only long steady-state cardio.
- Walk daily but prioritize lifting to preserve muscle and metabolic health.
Healthy Fats Protect Against Aging
- Avoid reflexively cutting dietary fat; healthy fats lower inflammation and support hormones.
- Low-fat, high-starch diets can age blood vessels and increase belly fat.
