Key Takeaways
- Metabolic flexibility is the ability to turn any available nutrient into energy efficiently and quickly
- When you are metabolically flexible you can take all of the air and all of the food and combine it to make electricity
- During a fast, you are in repair mode and bulletproof coffee is a hack that doesn’t affect insulin levels
- MCT oil raises ketones more than coconut oil
- Women don’t do usually do as well fasting as men who will typically do 2-4 hours longer.
- Bulletproof coffee changes the voice in your head about food
- If you are exercising make it intense and make it short. If you move for twenty minutes a day it does good things for energy production
- You need to space out exercise because recovery is when growth happens
- Our peak energy and movement time is in the afternoon
- When you combine light exposure and food exposure you can shift your sleeping window to whenever you want.
- It’s important to know which exercise works best so you can focus your time efficiently
- The most important variable in sleep is light exposure
- Plants produce toxins as part of their survival mechanisms and humans can tolerate the toxins but too much does have an effect on the body
- If we eat plants with lower toxin levels our biology works better.
