Lifestyle Changes to Minimize Disease Risk, Part 3 (Breather Episode with Brad)

The B.rad Podcast

In the third part of this show, I ask some important questions in order to identify what weak areas we need to work on in order to make the necessary changes to our lifestyle that will minimize our disease risk.

Ask yourself this: do I wake up after a night of sleep feeling energized, or groggy and tired? Do I frequently experience autoimmune flare ups? Do I digest my food well and feel good after a meal, instead of immediately experiencing bloating, gas, and other GI-related issues after eating?

In this episode, you’ll learn what happens when you have too much glucose in your bloodstream, why excess insulin production is directly associated with metabolic syndrome, and all about the addictive properties of sugar. You’ll learn the most efficient way of taking yourself off the addictive loop of processed food consumption, and how to select high quality animal products and the most nutrient dense food while also having enough variety in your diet to keep things interesting, while still being healthy. I also discuss the increasingly common issue of orthorexia and how to keep yourself from getting drawn into this overly rigid and dysfunctional approach to food purity.

Ancestral foods like pasture raised eggs, grass fed meats is the way to go. [27:59]
