[10:05] Your Health is Your Wealth · Conventional medicine in America is often called "health care," but it's "sick care" because it only focuses on treating symptoms and doesn't teach people how to be healthy. · Wake Up and Aikido camp teaches people how to be healthy and is an example of health care. · Eating clean and caring for your body is important for optimal health and can lead to a smaller, less leaky gut with fewer toxins seeping through. · It's okay to occasionally eat less healthy foods if your gut is healthy and able to handle it. · The goal is progress, not perfection, and developing metabolic flexibility is important for long-term health. [17:15] What to Look For When Buying Red Meat · Labels on meat products can be misleading and is often a selling tactic. · Consumers should be aware of the terms used, such as "natural," "no hormones," "no antibiotics," "grass-fed," "vegetarian fed," etc. · Most cows are fed inflammatory foods like grains, which can lead to health problems for the cows and the consumers who eat their meat. · Some cows are even fed candy bars to fatten them up for more profit. · High-quality meat is important for better nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties. · Grass-fed and finished is the best option, as it means the cow has eaten grass from start to finish of its life. [22:05] The Worst Artificial Sweeteners vs The Best Sugar Replacements Some inflammatory artificial sweeteners are sucralose and brown rice syrup. At the same time, some recommended sugar replacements are Coconut Sugar (less refined, lower glycemic index), Pure Maple Syrup, Non-GMO Monkfruit, Dates (and date syrup), and Raw Honey. · Brown rice syrup may be perceived as healthy but is often found in products with other inflammatory ingredients. · The recommended sugar replacements are less refined and often have better nutritional value than artificial sweeteners. · Stevia is disliked due to the harsh chemicals used to extract it, which can cause gut disruption for some people. · Monk fruit is a better alternative, as it has a zero glycemic index and does not cause the same issues as stevia. · Many people have noticed positive digestion and overall health changes after eliminating stevia from their diets. [28:50] Is Oatmeal Actually Healthy For You? · Oats can be considered in the gray area of healthy foods due to their pros and cons. · Most oats are sprayed with glyphosate, a pesticide that promotes inflammation and can harm health. · Oats are high in phytic acid, an anti-nutrient that prevents the body from absorbing necessary nutrients. · Too much phytic acid can lead to gut issues, inflammation, arthritis, and brain fog. · Organic and sprouted oats are better options for consuming oats. [47:55] The Top 5 Most Commonly Asked Questions About Food Labels · Consume high-quality protein from grass-fed beef, mackerel, and fish instead of relying on protein bars. Read the labels on coffee creamers carefully and choose cleaner options like Three Trees almond milk, which contains only water and almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Eating real, whole foods to improve health and well-being. Notice how certain foods make you feel and adjust your diet accordingly. Liposomal vitamin C is better absorbed into the body and can be more effective than traditional vitamin C supplements. Many people avoid bread while dieting, but it's not necessary. However, keep in mind to avoid grains and pseudo-grains. AND MUCH MORE!
