EP 110 – Fasting, Fat Loss & Health Optimisation with Matty Lansdown

Angela is with Matty Lansdown, scientist, nutritionist and health coach specialising in weight loss and self-confidence for women. Matty is also the host of the ‘How to NOT Get Sick and Die’ Podcast where he discusses how to develop healthy habits and make a positive impact on your nutrition

In this episode, Matty explains how we have created a lack of predictability in our genes around nutrition and how consistency along with small changes is the best way to build back nutritional predictability and create the successful changes that impact positively on your health. He also shares great content about why fasting, offal and getting the basics right with hydration are the ways forward in creating a healthier version of yourself.

When we make choices about foods that don’t serve us it’s never about the food it’s the way we distance ourselves from the way we perceive things are when they are not how we want them to be and this fascinating episode explores how the combination of science, belief systems and nutrition is key in achieving effortless weight loss.

Fasting, Fat Loss & Health Optimisation with Matty Lansdown

Key Takeaways

The body is an adaption machine and it’s this that builds our biological resilience
The longer the adaptation phase the more stable your stability of the diet – make one tweak a week
The brain is wired for efficiency looking for shortcuts all the time because it wants to be more efficient with its energy
We have created a lack of predictability in our genes around nutrition
Every time we have started a new thing we have turned our preservation genetics on
Build nutritional predictability into your genome through being consistent over a long period of time and making small changes
Small steps taken over a period of time is what works
We are permanently in a cycle of confirming what we believe about ourselves and everyone has a belief about who they are and rules for their existence
The rules are what create your personality and define your identity
When you change a behaviour you are acting outside of your rules for existence
Changing your identity is the way you will stay accountable to a healthier version of yourself
At any given moment you can get back on track
It’s about doing all the things that redefine the paradigms for yourself
The body has a number of detoxification pathways but they all need to be working efficiently as we are all living in a toxic world
Including offal in your diet has a positive impact on your nutrition
We are eating too much, too often and fasting gives your gut time to repair and recover
Getting the basics right will get you 80% of where you want to go
Increasing your water intake is vital and many people don’t drink enough to keep all their cells hydrated
