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.

Best Moments

‘There is so much missing from the information we are learning’

‘There is no disease that isn’t made worse by seed oils’

‘You can raise your kids to eat a healthy diet, we have so much power to change our children’s lives’
