Key Takeaways
- Previously the shared foundations for a healthy diet were eating fresh food in season, working with processes in nature and using all parts of an animal.
- Every organ has a different nutritional value
- Seed oils are an industrial product and most people now have no or very little animal fats in their diet.
- Globally people have moved from not just eating an inadequate diet to eating toxic fat calories.
- Fats become the outer membranes of your cells and your mitochondria
- If your parents and grandparents ate well then you can have genetic momentum
- We have been discouraged from thinking about traditional diets because of the fats.
- If you want a healthy gut biome get rid of seed oils in your diet and you will immediately start to notice the difference.
- Not everyone’s metabolism is functioning properly.
- The most common hunger experienced by people with weight issues is hypoglycaemic
- because your body needs calories, this is dangerous hunger and needs to be resolved.
- People come into the world with different genetic momentum.
