A short Heroic +1 podcast (episode #1,952) hosted by Brian Johnson with Michael. Brian reiterates that mitochondrial dysfunction underlies chronic disease and emphasizes Casey Means's advice to eliminate the "unholy trinity"—refined added sugar, refined industrial vegetable/seed oils, and refined grains—to improve health. Michael closes with praise for Brian's book summaries and a plug for Heroic resources.
Chapters
Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Heroic plus one. In the last couple plus ones we talked about your mitochondria. Quick check in. Have you been nice to your quadrillions of micro energy engines inside your trillions of cells? Awesome. Now, as you may recall, we started with Robert Lustig telling us chronic disease is mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial dysfunction is chronic disease. They are one and the same. Then we invited Casey Means to the party who invited us to consider this When a kid drinks one bottle of Coke, they ingest as much added sugar as they might have had in an entire year if they were living 150 years ago. Yikes. We also briefly discussed her top three things to do if you want to optimize your nutrition. You remember what they were in good energy, she tells us. If you remember one food principle in this book, remember that cutting the unholy trinity of these three ingredients from your diet will completely change your health and ensure you're making room for more good energy foods. Number one refined added sugar. Number two refined industrial vegetable and seed oils and number three refined grains. And that's today's plus one. What's one thing you can do today to reduce the amount of refined added sugar and or refined industrial vegetable and seed oils and or refined grains from your diet and your kids diets and your team's diets. Here's to optimizing those quadrillions of micro energy engines as we dominate our fundamentals so we have heroic possessed today. What's up?
