So getting your glucose and insulin levels down will allow your brain to energize itself in the most clean, efficient, and reliable way possible.

Exactly. So these principles, nourish, protect, energize, the nourish you need to include some animal foods, the protect you need to exclude things like refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils, which are the signature ingredients of the standard American diet or standard Western diet.

And the energized is the glucose and insulin levels, which for some people, this is a level of personalization begins here at the energized piece. Because if you have excellent metabolic health, and we can talk about what that means, you then you may not need to eat a ketogenic diet to properly, to really get those glucose and insulin levels under control and thoroughly energize your brain cells.

Because if you have excellent metabolic health, and we can talk about what that means, you then you may not need to eat a ketogenic diet to properly, to really get those glucose and insulin levels under control and thoroughly energize your brain cells.

But if you have significant metabolic damage, if you're sedentary, if you're older, if you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, then you may need to reduce the amount of carbohydrate in your diet, even from whole foods. You may even need to go to a ketogenic level.

And that's where assessing your metabolic health, understanding where you stand on the insulin-resistant spectrum, the spectrum of metabolic health, that's the empowering piece. Because if you know...

And that's where assessing your metabolic health, understanding where you stand on the insulin-resistant spectrum, the spectrum of metabolic health, that's the empowering piece. Because if you know...

where you stand on the insulin resistance spectrum, and you can get your glucose and insulin levels into a healthy range, then you have tremendous power over your emotional, intellectual, and your physical health future. It's really the number one risk factor for almost all chronic diseases, mental and physical. So personalization starts with a metabolic personalization.

So how much carbohydrate can you safely tolerate? That's one example. But then there's another level of personalization that has to do with how well does your immune system work? How robust is your gut function, your gut barrier? Many of us have lost our ability to safely and comfortably tolerate a wide variety of foods that we should be able to tolerate.

And that's because our environment, multiple Multiple toxins in the environment have broken down a lot of our defenses, our gut barrier, our blood-brain barrier, and our immune system has become overwhelmed by trying to process lots of toxic ingredients in our environment. So these are things like...

And that's because our environment, multiple Multiple toxins in the environment have broken down a lot of our defenses, our gut barrier, our blood-brain barrier, and our immune system has become overwhelmed by trying to process lots of toxic ingredients in our environment. So these are things like...

plastics and pesticides and antibiotics and food additives and all kinds of ultra-processed foods that we were never designed to handle. These are really stressful. on the human body, and they do break down our defenses over time. So this level of personalization is very much about trial and error.

But to save people some of that frustration of trial and error approaches, I give them very specific lists of foods that are more likely to be culprits than others. And so that helps cut back on some of the trial and error elimination.
