These compounds are to defend the plant against insects and fungus. 23:19 Why do we think plant compounds/plant defense chemicals are good for us? In research we assume that they have benefit. 30:43 The concept of molecular hormesis is not the same as environmental hormesis. We should look at these compounds for their overall impact, not just the beneficial aspects. 34:57 It difficult to outsmart 3 million years of natural history and evolution. 37:11 Vegan diets are full of plant toxins. 38:04 What is in your supplements? 40:25 The estrogens are in high levels in American grain fed cattle and almost none in Japanese cattle. 41:18 Mycoestrogen is a mold pellet that is placed in a cow’s ear so the cow will need 30% less feed/get 30% fatter on the same amount of feed. 50:50 Organ meats are cheap, cheaper than muscle meat. 51:17 Food is the arbiter of the quality of your life. Functional nutrition and root cause nutrition is not part of western medical training. 55:57 Two meals a day is common with a carnivore diet. 58:27 Eating only muscle meat is not nutritionally complete. 58:57 Protein consumption in humans has a sweet spot and is probably individual to each human.. 59:30 Your body does not run on protein. Humans run on either fat or carbohydrate. We use protein as building blocks. 01:01:01 A fasting glucose of 70 to 80 is the sweet spot. 01:01:45 The sweet spot for protein may be about .6 to 1.1 grams per pound of lean body weight. Eat more fat. 01:02:34 Valuable glucose information is garnered with an A.M. glucose test, before you eat and 45 min to 1 hour post-prandial. 01:06:38 If you are in ketosis, LDL generally rises. 01:09:22 When you are on a fat-based metabolism and making ketones, your body makes more cholesterol. Ketones and cholesterol share a common pathway in the liver. 01:17:34 Dr. Saladino has found that patients on carnivore or keto are more hormonally sensitive. T3 decreases with tissue sensitivity and antibodies come down. 01:21:01 Most flavonoids have estrogenic activity, stimulating the estrogen receptor. 01:23:51 There are no reports of vitamin A toxicity from overconsumption of beef or lamb liver. Vitamin A in food form is processed differently than from a supplement. 01:24:45 Choline is in liver, egg yolks and muscle meat. It can turn into TMAO. It is a precursor for phosphatidyl choline, needed to make membranes in our cells. It is a precursor for acetylcholine. 01:25:57 Riboflavin: People are probably not getting enough riboflavin. This is probably behind the activation of different MTHFR polymorphisms.
