Timestamped Show Notes:

05:00 – When you see commercials for semi glutides or GLP-1’s, they’re compounded, the feds have made those against the law out there and now illegal to compound, beginning next month, so you use a name brand prescription. The reason for that is because, when you’re doing the peptides, they aren’t regulated, so you don’t know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they’re making them, and you’re pumping that into your body hoping it’s going to make a difference.

28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will also start eating healthy. If you’re taking those medications and you’re just eating one piece of pizza instead of three, that’s not help.

31:20 – The metabolic ones, insulin, blood sugars, leptin, ghrelinn, adeno, pectin, etc. So when you start to control those metabolically, you start to burn more unhealthy fat than sugar, which is what people try to control on the Keto Diet, right? The Keto Diet is not bad as long as you can sustain it. But the average person can’t sustain it, unlike you’d mentioned, you’re able to do that. The average person can’t necessarily sustain that. So the way you keep weight off forever is you find a way for that particular patient so they can have the freedom to eat what they want, “within reason”, and still lose weight. So psychologically, if you feel like you’re not dieting and you’re losing inches of fat and weight, we’re on the home stretch.

52:55 – I was looking at again for a panel of like, 20 med spas that are starting this, and they’re getting rid of GLP1’s, they’re going for a program. The average patient loses 32.8 pounds. This is within a 90 day mark, and they lose up to 20.2 inches within 60 days. The average person loses two clothing sizes, or 10% of your body weight in 60 days is a very safe bet, like bet your house with a kid in it and take it to the bank.

58:45 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The impact of children seeing mothers inject weight loss drugs to lose weight versus making healthy choices comes to them. Our own girls have told us over and over and over again, I can’t believe how bad everybody else eats, or I went to my friend’s house and the whole family is literally sitting around consuming bags of chips, and I couldn’t believe it. There wasn’t fruit, there wasn’t anything like natural veggies with the meal. They’re just astonished that not everybody does that, who needs that. So it’s, again, it was kind of an aha moment to me that you’re impacting families, and that how far that goes with kids and everything else as well. For all the women out there that have children or men that have children, that can become more aware, this is what they see and what they learn.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – Not all FAT is created equal. The kinds of fats that are in the seeds that we’ve all been unknowingly consuming, the seed oils are those called polygon stable, they should be called polyunsaturated, and they’re unstable. So that’s why they stay liquid in the fridge, that’s why they’re softer, right? That’s why they add them because they’re unstable.

20:00 – PUFA aka Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid.

30:00 – I was a doctor and I had the symptoms of hypoglycemia myself. I would have my cereal, Raisin Bran for breakfast with my skim milk. If I was really indulgent, I’d have 2%, and added sugar, of course, had to have more sugar on that. So that would be at seven AM and then by noon or one PM, whenever I got to my lunch, my fingers were cold and I’d be shaky. I would be kind of like, oh come on, just give me my lunch already. Those symptoms, that’s hypoglycemia. So I was already on that diabetes spectrum, and I had no clue.

40:00 – At the turn of the century, 50% of Americans lived on farms. Now I would be willing to bet that would also be that of our small business world. But that was America. What made America great was the fact that we were founded on small business farmers, we were self-sufficient people, we knew how to make good food. That’s what made us great, that’s actually, by the way, a huge reason why a lot of English people left England too.

50:00 – So that’s why I have two phases in the plan that talks about the baby-steps phase for folks who are more metabolically damaged and need to spend more time with taking those baby steps. If you’re not quite so metabolically damaged, then you can jump right into a KETO diet. But the two phases are to fix your metabolism and then burn your body fat. If you have a really high-fat burn factor, you can just start right into cutting calories by intermittent fasting.

54:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thought that I want to leave people with is that food used to be this holy transcendental sensation. It wasn’t just about energy. It was about connecting with your family and your environment. It was about how good you can make something tasty and how much time you could spend in the kitchen. How much time you could spend prepping the animal’s yourselves and growing your own food.

We have completely turned that as a thing that we need to turn upside down, they talk about turning the food pyramid upside down. If we could turn our pride, our food priority upside down, and get back to where we have been for our entire humanity, human history until like the industrial era, when TV shows told us that, the kitchen was just like a place you wanted to get out of as fast as possible, you should eat microwave dinners. Before the TV told us this, we knew in our bones, that if you spent time in your garden, that food was going to be good for you. I don’t care what it is, what kind of vegetable it is, it was going to be good for you. If you raised animals yourselves, you knew that they were healthy. You knew that the food was good. Forget about saturated fat and all of this kind of stuff. That’s what matters and that’s the only thing that matters. I would love it if we could shift the conversation away from macros and calories and to things like healthy soil and healthy plants and animals.
