Key Takeaways

• Eat only when hungry: Avoid unnecessary snacking; listen to your body's hunger cues.
• Drink only when thirsty: Avoid over-hydration; excessive liquid intake can dilute electrolytes.
• Experiment with different diets: Try various diets to discover what works best for your body.
• Practice intermittent fasting: The frequency of eating is crucial; intermittent fasting promotes cellular repair and pathogen removal.
• Minimize carb intake (under 30g/day): Focus on low-carb consumption to avoid insulin spikes.
• Check fasting insulin levels: Regular testing can help prevent diabetes.
• Supplement with Vitamin D (10,000-20,000 IU/day): Vitamin D is crucial for overall health and immune function; higher doses may be needed for certain conditions.
• Supplement with Magnesium: Magnesium supports Vitamin D function and regulates calcium levels.
• Consume sufficient Potassium (4700mg/day): Potassium acts as a natural tranquilizer, benefits the nervous system, and boosts energy.
• Choose high-quality vitamins and supplements: Avoid low-quality multivitamins with synthetic ingredients; prioritize natural sources.
• Supplement with trace minerals: Many foods lack trace minerals; supplementation may be necessary.
• Include red meat in your diet: Red meat, especially grass-fed, is nutrient-dense and provides high-quality protein.
• Create your own probiotic yogurt: This can help restore gut health after antibiotic use.
• Avoid overtraining: Overtraining lowers testosterone and hinders gains; prioritize recovery.
• Supplement with Vitamin B1 after high-carb intake: This helps mitigate negative effects and reduces anxiety.
• Use caution with iron supplements: Iron supplements should be used sparingly, ideally from food sources like liver.
• Combat age-related muscle atrophy: Consistent exercise and magnesium supplementation are key for older adults.
• Take high doses of Vitamin D before surgery: This improves surgical outcomes.
• Take Vitamin D during pregnancy and lactation: This prevents postpartum depression in mothers and strengthens the baby’s health.
• Invest in a water filter: City water often contains harmful chemicals.
