Episode notes
Myth of Eat Less, Exercise More
- The "eat less, exercise more" approach ignores metabolism's complexity and sustainability issues.
- Our bodies respond to restriction by lowering metabolism and conserving energy, causing weight regain.
Choose Easy-to-Digest Foods
- Favor easily digestible foods like fruits, root vegetables, meat, seafood, and dairy for better metabolism.
- Avoid raw vegetables, grains, legumes, and seeds as they feed harmful gut bacteria and produce toxins.

- Polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) from seed oils are fragile and prone to damage, harming mitochondria and energy efficiency.
- High PUFA intake correlates with inflammation, chronic diseases, and accelerated aging due to inefficient energy production.
