Agree one billion per cent. It would be great if it was taught at medical school, too! Thanks so much for being here 💚

Tempeh & Fenugreek are my faves atm. Thanks so much for watching 💚

What’s Omad Carnivore? Tell me more! I love learning new evidence-based diets for cellular regeneration. Please do share research links 🎉

@@bodybrainreset TH-cam IS FULL OF RESEARCH ON OMAD CARNIVORE AS YOU WELL KNOW.

@@user-oj9tb9gp1n This is the first time I'm hearing about Omad Carnivore; I spend all my research time in medical databases (not youtube). Please do share the best research links or the best channels sharing evidence-based information on this topic - it's good for me to be aware of multiple paradigms in the health & wellness space. Thank you 🙏 Does this mean you don't eat fruit & veg? Or does it mean yo de-prioritise them in favour of meat? And how does this track with the documented pro-inflammatory nature and high AGE profile of meat (glycation) that causes accelerated ageing within the body?

@@bodybrainreset You must have been living under a rock. You can not possibly be a professional of any kind. Go away and play your games somewhere else. Either that or seriously think about recieving some kind of help.

@@user-oj9tb9gp1n Thank you for sharing what has been working for you, each individuals health journey is unique and it important to listen to your body to know what works best for you. You can lose weight with many diets, but sustainability is key, as well as ensuring that your health isn’t negatively affected as often can happen with certain extreme diets. You want to aim to be healthy as a priority and the weight loss as an added benefit of a healthy body.

She does rather suit her name doesn’t she?! 💛

You're so welcome! 🍍🍍🍍

Thank you for watching and sharing, as its an honour to be able to help women get their lives back and feel great again!

I really appreciate you sharing your favourite solution to everything.💫

@@bodybrainreset You are welcome. I have been doing enemas and yoga since 1995 when I was a teenager practicing Hatha yoga. I am a strong believer in natural home remedies.

Yes that surprised me too, and now it makes sense why my digestion is better when I eat alone and in a quiet, shaded space! I'm learning a lot from my guests, too. Thank you so much for sharing your insight and for being here 💚

Thank you for watching and so glad you enjoyed it! Yes its fascinating how ever step in digestion actually promotes the next especially with our gut being referred to as our "second brain" because the two are so closely connected via the vagus nerve influencing so many different processes in the body.

Thanks so much for being here and watching this episode: we loved making it ❤

So glad you enjoyed it!

That doesn't surprise me at all: Christine is BURSTING with knowledge & wisdom.

So happy to be able to share this information with you 🤩

Thanks for being here 🧡

Thank you for watching, we are so glad you found it interesting and hope it helps

Thank you for watching

You really nailed it with the anti-inflammatory foods (and avoiding pro-inflammatory foods) - we've been led to believe that high quality vegetable oils are healthy and they simple are NOT! I love that we can easily add delicious food to our diet to get things moving. Our tastebuds get the benefits and so do our BOWELS! Great episode - thanks for bringing your wisdom to the show 💛

You're so welcome beautiful, so glad you're here 🧡

You're right, we do tend to associate fruit with warmer weather and sunny climes and it can be challenging to remember to eat it ALL YEAR ROUND for juicy cellular hydraton (especially when the selection of available fresh fruit is smaller). That's where frozen fruit comes in - for me it ensures I always have fruit at the ready, and I would simply die without my frozen blueberries when they're not in season! 🫶🏼

Thank you for being here 🧡 And THANK YOU for your hypothesis - it's a smart one. The research indicates that while pasture-raised meat may be less inflammatory than grain-fed due to its higher anti-inflammatory nutrient content, it can still promote inflammation if overconsumption occurs, especially of fatty cuts. Moderation, and BALACE with anti-inflammatory plant foods is recommended. This study compared the fatty acid profiles of pasture-fed, organic, and conventional beef. While pasture-fed beef provided more anti-inflammatory omega-3s, it still contained pro-inflammatory saturated fats and omega-6s that can contribute to inflammation when consumed in high amounts (Journal List , Foods, PMC8909876) I suppose it comes down to whether you want to eat 'healthier meat' or heathy food - as well as your health, wellbeing, life, and food values.

It can be so confusing with all the different commercial motivations out there, as well as with the old thinking/ research circulating, but… … A low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet rich in healthy carbohydrates from whole plant foods has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance in several studies: (Emphasis on carbs that come from whole plant foods i.e. fruits & veggies) Buckle up, here’s the scoop! The study by Shintani et al. found that a low-fat, plant-based, high-carbohydrate diet was associated with reduced body weight, fat mass, and insulin resistance in overweight individuals over 16 weeks. Higher carbohydrate and fiber intake correlated with greater reductions in weight and insulin resistance. (Nutrients. 2018 Sep; 10(9): 1302. Published online 2018 Sep 14. doi: 10.3390/nu10091302) The randomized controlled trial by Goff et al. compared a low-fat (20% fat) vs low-carb (60% fat) diet in overweight/obese subjects. Both diets led to weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity, with no significant difference between diets, suggesting the benefits were primarily from weight loss rather than macronutrient composition. (Journal List Diabetes v.58(12); 2009 Dec PMC2780863) Mastering Diabetes cites over 85 years of evidence showing low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diets high in carbs from fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains can reverse insulin resistance, while low-carb diets promote it. (www.masteringdiabetes.org/high-carb-foods-reverse-insulin-resistance/) The NHS resource recommends reducing carbs moderately for those with insulin resistance, but emphasizes choosing low-glycemic, high-fiber carb sources and avoiding very low-carb or carb-free diets which can worsen insulin resistance. (www.cuh.nhs.uk/patient-information/national-severe-insulin-resistance-service-carbohydrates/) Multiple studies and expert resources support a low-fat, high-carbohydrate dietary pattern focused on minimally processed plant foods as an effective approach to reduce insulin resistance, likely due to the fiber, antioxidants and low energy density of these carb sources promoting weight loss.

This resonates 100%. There's so much social pressure to conform to the standard diet in whatever country you're in - because it's readily available and what 'most' people eat. When I quit cow dairy in 2001 I couldn't believe how much of my social life revolved around cheese! (Ridiculous.) Then in 2007 I quit yeast, gluten & wheat - but all these omissions opened up a world of possibilities because me (& my Mum!) were determined that life should be DELICIOUS, and so our options EXPANDED as we researched like mad scientists. Sadly my social options didn't; I bailed from a layer of socialising, and my friends called me 'picky' and 'fussy' for years - until I realised that Asian restaurants were the answer to dinner with friends - Malaysian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indian, Sri Lankan, Ethiopian restaurants are packed full of plant-based options - and everyone loves those too! A friend has recently switched to healthy mode and said: "I really thought you were weird back then. Now I realise how progressive you were." 🧡 Thanks so much for being here, let me know if there are any women's health topics you'd like to know more about.

Oh please, nobody got fat eating apples.... Fruits have fibres, sugar impact is decreased.... Have your fruits

We had a similar comment over on Shorts. There's a lot of misinformation still circulating about fruits that don't match the latest science. Here's Star's reply, I hope this help alleviate confusion or fear around fruit: Fruit doesn’t turn into sugar, fruit contains sugar. Lots of foods contain sugar: many vegetables, milk, grains, beans, fruits… The scientific term for sugar is saccharine and there are many different saccharides: fiber and starch are also saccharides and no all of these are not the same molecule. Fructose is not the same molecule as glycogen, sucrose is different to beta glucan (and so on) The body breaks all saccarides down into glucose but it matters a lot where it originates: consuming 50g of pure glucose syrup has a different effect on the blood sugar mechanics than eating 50g of banana - this should be quite obvious to anyone even without much knowledge of science. All fruits are pretty high in fibre and yes fibre is one of the food components that helps slow down the breakdown of sugars. Fibre is also a type of sugar too (polysaccharide). This is why it’s not very logical to just use the word ‘sugar’ to refer to extracted sugars and the carbohydrates in plant foods. There are multiple studies proving fruit juice doesn’t cause diabetes etc. you didn’t really specify what you think the issue is with juice so I can’t give you specifics but you’re welcome to ask me for the links to the studies I’m not sure if the blender point is related to the fruit juice point but you do know that juice isn’t made in a blender right? Blended just blend things the fibre remains in tact, it’s no different to how we mechanically break down fruits using our teeth. The smoothie = ruined fibre argument is just not scientifically backed, it was silly nonsense spread by a large well known diet company (and we all know how honest they are!) As for blood sugar: there is an unfortunate trend lately of pathologising natural biological phenomena - especially among creators who have something to sell you! Blood sugar is supposed to rise and fall, it’s a dynamic process anytime you eat anything with carbohydrates the blood sugar will rise - THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN - sadly creators with something to sell you have started calling this natural rise a ‘spike’ - this is misinformation. You usually don’t see true spikes in normal people, only those with insulin resistance. A normal rise then fall of blood sugar - and I cannot stress this enough - is perfectly normal. I’d like to finish by reminding you that every single cell of your body requires glucose to function and the fuel-heavy big human brain needs about 120g-130g of glucose a day: you can choose to get that from junk foods or extracted sugars or from healthy sources like fruit where you’ll also get a fat dose of water, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, fats, phytochemicals, antioxidants, enzymes, fibre and more.

There's so much information in the food, health, fitness and nutrition world - we're just slowly, & gently, re-educating to empower people. Beliefs become entrenched, we have to shift them with LOVE 💌 I realise a lot of the misunderstanding around health & how the body works comes from the use of language. Language has to be so precise. i.e. Fruit doesn't turn into sugar, rather it 'contains' sugar, like other foods. Science reinvents itself daily, and keeping up the research, nomenclature , & conventional wisdom surrounding the data is a full-time job. That's why we rely on experts like @theagehacker who live and breathe the latest evidence-based information as it's produced, and share it with us in an accurate, accessible way.

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed the info 🙂

Oranges.... I too have been eating a lot of these of late, cut up and kept in the fridge super refreshing. I'll have to try the lime and chilli!

Do you mean in a blender? Like a smoothie? I’m unsure as to what exactly your question is

If you do mean making smoothies in a blender, Star & I are huge smoothie fans! (You can grab her incredible blackberry/ acai smoothie recipe here: www.thefaceliftdiet.com/blackberry-acai-anti-ageing-smoothie/) In this episode above Star listed leafy greens as part of your daily 'green fruits' quota, including spinach. I love adding a small handful of kale, baby spinach or rocket (arugula) to my smoothies to 'get my greens in'. You may not know that many veggies are actually officially classified as fruit: cucumber, tomato, bell peppers (capsicum), squash, courgette (zucchini) - I find cucumber works well in a smoothie with avocado, apple & a medjool date ...!! Sooooo good. Other veggies don't work so well in a smoothie, but you know what? It's all down to personal preference!

This a heck of a lot of misinformation to answer in a comment but here goes: Fruit doesn’t turn into sugar, fruit contains sugar. Lots of foods contain sugar: many vegetables, milk, grains, beans, fruits… The scientific term for sugar is saccharine and there are many different saccharides: fiber and starch are also saccharides and no all of these are not the same molecule.

@@theagehacker gawd, I want to live in your brain. How much fruit would you have to eat to get 130g glucose?

@@bodybrainresethere you go 🧠 🤣 that’s 15 years of solid research for you 😂 ummm good question and honestly it depends on the fruit so it’s hard to give a straight answer as they’re all so different and I don’t have the grams of carbohydrates memorised (even my amazing brain isn’t that fantastic!) but you’ve give me an idea for an extra video or a cheat sheet!

​@@theagehacker How much fruit would you have to consume to get 130g glucose? I asked ChatGPT! It provided an answer based on assumed 'medium' size fruit: 🍌 5g glucose per medium banana 🍏 4g glucose per medium apple 🍊 3g glucose per medium orange 🍇 8g glucose per 100g of grapes Based on that - wait for it 🤯 - you'd have to eat the following amount of fruit to get 130g glucose a day from fruit: 🍌 26 bananas 🍏 32.5 apples 🍊 43.3 oranges 🍇 1.625 kilograms of grapes I would defer to Star's expertise over ChatGPT's calculations, but even this initial calculation confirms you're never going to tip the glucose scale into the negative with fruit. 🍒🍓🍇🍎🍉🍑🍊

Looking at Star's answer, I realise a lot of the misunderstanding around health & how the body works comes from the use of language. Language has to be so precise. i.e. Fruit doesn't turn into sugar, rather it CONTAINS sugar, like other foods.

Thank you so much for your kind words & support; it means so much because this channel is all about delivering empowering, evidence-based info in a fun, resonant way. When I first heard Brooke Castillo say: "I want to be an example of what's possible" I instantly aspired to the same goal, so your words are profound & deeply appreciated 💖It's really important that me and my guests live our words, or at least discuss the challenges of endeavouring to! The original chat with Star was actually over an hour; the knowledge in her brain is infinite!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤

Hi there, I have 2 piercings above my nose 😊

@@theagehacker So striking, and they really accentuate your stunning eyes 👀

I found this episode reassuring, too, because lately I've been craving VAST quantities of fruit & there's a little voice in my head asking: "Am I eating too much?" Fruit is often vilified, which I now realise is not substantiated in a varied, balanced diet. We should all be 'frumans'!! 🍒🍓🍇🍎🍉🍑🍊

Fruit is the best food on the planet 🎉

Here's a fantastic summary of the research: nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-fruit-is-too-much/

Right?! But so many people still don’t know yet.
