Why We’re Wired to Eat and the Autoimmune Solution – with Robb Wolf

Key Takeaways

Individuals can eat a zero carbohydrate diet and still have elevated blood glucose levels due to hepatic glucose release in response to high levels of stress and poor sleep
Eating particular foods can register as a stress response due to the process of eating it or how it interfaces with the gut biome
The state of ketosis is subjective to the individual and the volume and intensity of their activity and individually how metabolic healthy and flexible they are
Every nerve impulse and muscle contraction is driven by changes in sodium potassium status both inside and outside of cells
Elevated insulin levels from overeating and intake of refined foods can be the driver for hypertension
When people clean up their diet they reduce both their carbohydrate load and sodium intake
Heat, humidity, and physical activity all increase the demands for good rehydration
When you reach the required level of sodium your appetite for sodium rich foods decreases
All nutrients and micronutrients have a flavour but only sodium has a specific taste receptor. Sodium rich foods are usually more protein dense and more nutrient dense
The 7 Day Carb Test helps you to determine how you handle the glycaemic load of carbohydrates
From person to person the carbohydrate response can be very different, everyone varies and you need to focus on your total glucose displacement over time

Best Moments

‘I shifted into a low carb diet and it was magic for me’

‘When you are intolerant to a particular food it results in stress for the body’

‘People rarely have an accurate insight into their blood glucose responses to different foods, the 7 Day Carb Test provides this so that individuals can make informed decisions’
