Episode notes
Cell Membrane Inflammation Drives Obesity
- Obesity is driven by chronic cell membrane inflammation, not just calorie intake or sugar consumption.
- Inflamed cell membranes prevent hormone signals, blocking fat burning and causing weight gain as a symptom.
Cut Seed Oils for Fat Loss
- Remove ultra-processed foods, especially seed oils like canola and soybean, and avoid high fructose corn syrup.
- Replace bad fats with butter, coconut oil, and olive oil to reduce cell membrane inflammation and aid fat loss.
Avoid Frequent Snacking
- Avoid snacking and grazing because frequent eating spikes insulin continuously and causes insulin resistance.
- Eat three meals a day without snacks, focusing on high protein and healthy fats to restore insulin sensitivity.
