In this episode, Pauline talks about how she started on her journey to health and why Pauline took a deep dive into nutrition. We talk about how conventional medicine is more ready to accept preventative health care ever since Covid. Plus, Pauline explains what dual-fuel burning means and why it can be a total game-changer for your health. It’s incredible what the body can do when it is metabolically flexible. Tune in as we chat about retraining your hunger hormone, getting more collagen into your diet, and the importance of supporting your liver. 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

She kept seeing the same inflammatory-based conditions turning up. Terry Wahls inspired Pauline to look at nutrition at a much deeper level. Pauline loves to think about how nutrition can improve longevity and protect us against chronic disease. [07:20] Being More Preventative When It Comes To Covid We can improve our immune function and make it more robust and more reactive when it needs to be. At the start of the pandemic, there was a lot of skepticism around vitamin D and zinc. Plus, there was a lot of skepticism around supplements, food, and the impact of nutrition. Now, it seems to be much more readily accepted in the conventional medical community. [17:30] Dual-Fuel Burning: What It Means and How To Achieve It Ketones have been around for as long as we've been around as humans. We can burn two different types of fuel: ketones and glucose. It protects our body from essentially eating our muscles and ourselves to death if we go two or three days without food. Dual-fuel gives us the ability to go for long periods of time without food. We're carrying our own little refrigerator of food that we can access at any point. Dual-fuel keeps our mood stable. [21:00] It’s Incredible That We Have A Metabolically Flexible Body Our brain is designed to be able to utilize glucose or ketones. However, the brain has a preference for ketones. If we eat some sweet potatoes, we will mop up that glucose and use it immediately. If you don’t eat carbs, then you will utilize the fat stored in your body. Pauline will fast from 6 pm to lunchtime the next day. She loves to have a core level of ketones. We have a brain that's becoming increasingly insulin resistant. Millions and millions of individuals across the world are already insulin resistant. Pauline recommends reading Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?: The Story of Ketones: https://www.amazon.com/Alzheimers-Disease-There-Story-Ketones-ebook/dp/B01INM7KUE/benazadi-20 [26:20] How Long Does It Take To Retrain Your Hunger Hormone? Ghrelin spikes very predictably around when we usually eat. Our body will produce ghrelin, very predictably, at nine o'clock, in anticipation of us having our breakfast. Your ghrelin is trained to spike. If you want to eliminate breakfast, then you should start to shift your ghrelin. Start moving your eating times 45 minutes back. That way, you're training that ghrelin spike to ease off rather than stopping altogether slowly. It will be an easier transition. [32:35] About Pauline’s Book Primal Living in a Modern World Get Primal Living in a Modern World: https://www.sowandarrow.com/product-page/primal-a-signed-first-edition-of-sow-arrows-ultimate-health Pauline wrote the book about eighteen months ago. Primal living is a blueprint; this step-by-step guide will teach you why we are sick, how to reverse and heal and how to safeguard you and your family’s health. Pauline talks about how the foods we eat make us sick, inflamed, and fat. [36:25] The Importance of Getting More Collagen Into Your Diet We live in a modern world that can work against us. However, we also live in a modern world that can work for us. We live in a time where there are so many incredible products on the market. There's a collagen deficit in most people. So, we're not necessarily getting enough protein. Pauline says our guts cannot break down protein properly. Bone broth is one of the best sources of collagen. [43:15] The Best Way To Support Your Liver Fasting is a great way to support your liver. Also, eat a low-sugar diet. Pauline eats minimal sugars. The bile that the liver produces helps move along our bowel movements and allows for easy passage. If you aren’t producing the bile, your bowels won’t be working properly. We need to look after our livers at all times. Eggs are a great way to support your liver. AND MUCH MORE!
