But I kind of put these ones as the kind of holy trinity or the unholy trinity of insulin resistance. But we would tell someone, control your stress. And they would say, well, great, doc, how am I going to do that? You know, it's a little difficult. Stress is one of those difficult things to truly wrap your head around. But even still, you'd mentioned like meditation and quiet.

I wholly agree with that. But even still, it's a little difficult to fully manage stress. Same with inflammation. We would say lower your inflammation. They'd say, well, how do I do that? You know, we'd have to find out what are the stimuli that are inducing that increase in that immune level. But if we say control your insulin, easy, easy.

That is a lever we can grab with both hands and immediately start to pull down just through time-restricted eating and intermittent fasting and by just managing macronutrients. And altering that ratio, you know, focusing more on the foods that have the lower effect on insulin, like in the fat and protein and controlling the starchiest of the carbohydrates or the most sugary.

Now, neither you nor I are declaring war on carbohydrates. And I'd hate for someone to leave this talk, leave this discussion thinking we are. We're not, you know, neither of us is advocating a carnivore diet, but we are certainly, my view is don't get your carbohydrates from bags and boxes with barcodes. I love that. Yeah, I love alliteration, so I'm glad you appreciate it.

But that's where people get it wrong, right? They're thinking they have a box of crackers or a bag of chips or a box of cereal. No. Eat fruits and vegetables. Eat them. I'm an advocate of fruits and vegetables. Eat them. But don't drink them and don't get them in processed foods. Bags, boxes, and barcodes.

Yeah, yeah, great question. So my postdoctoral work really was seminal in that it scrutinized the degree to which fatty acids themselves can contribute to insulin resistance. And this is a conversation that I'm passionate about because so many people –

start beating this drum of saturated fats and use it as evidence against animal products because animal products do contain saturated fats invariably. Now, they're never completely saturated fat, and that's important. There's a mix of saturated mono and polyunsaturated fats. And by the way, all saturated fats aren't the same.
