Keto vs. Carnivore, Hormonal Chaos from High Protein, the *Surprising* Truth About Cold Exposure, and Why Carbs Are CRUCIAL with Jay Feldman
In today’s episode, you’ll get to explore the complexities of ketogenic vs. carnivore diets with health coach and independent researcher Jay Feldman. Jay explains why he prefers ketogenic diets over high-protein carnivore diets, focusing on how they rely on fats for energy rather than stressing the body with excess protein. The conversation dives into the hormonal and digestive impacts of high-protein diets, while also acknowledging the short-term benefits they may offer. You'll also discover how to manage stress through food choices, improve carbohydrate utilization, and optimize gut health. Additionally, Jay shares his thoughts on using devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to measure stress hormones and offers practical advice on incorporating more carbs—like fruits and well-processed grains—into your diet for better energy and balance. His bioenergetic approach to health highlights the importance of cellular energy production and mitochondrial function. We’ll also tackle personalized exercise protocols based on individual stress levels, explore the benefits and limits of heat and cold exposure, and discuss the role of caffeine in daily routines. Jay Feldman is a health coach, independent health researcher, and the host of The Energy Balance Podcast. He holds degrees in neuroscience and exercise physiology but chose to forgo medical school after realizing that the conventional medical approach wasn't the solution to the health problems many of us face. After working through various conventional and alternative health paradigms and trialing countless diets, Jay came across the idea that cellular energy is the foundation of health. Embracing this discovery, he now uses the Energy Balance approach to help men and women around the world maximize their cellular energy, optimize their health, and achieve freedom from low-energy symptoms and chronic health issues. Tune in as we dive into the science behind diet, stress management, and exercise to unlock the secrets of achieving your best health!
