Welcome to the fifth and final show in this series about optimizing your animal-based diet!

In the last episode of the series, we continue to discuss the importance of emphasizing nutrient-dense foods, this time turning the focus to plants—specifically the ones containing the lowest amount of toxins, such as avocado, honey, fruit, and a few other plant foods (as you will hear in the show). Even if you are committed to eating mostly animal-based foods, there are still quite a few, very nutritious plants that will make a positive contribution to your diet—tune into this episode to learn why, and the most nutrient-dense plant foods you’ll want to add to your diet!



TIMESTAMPS:

In this episode of optimizing your diet, you want to emphasize the lower toxic plants. [01:58]

Dark chocolate is one of the most nutritious superfoods with many benefits, but it is important to learn how to select the best.  [03:05]

Fermented foods are widely regarded as supremely healthy. [16:46]

The toxins in vegetables can be greatly, significantly neutralized through things like cooking, soaking, sprouting, and fermenting. [23:18]

Raw honey is a great energy source. It’s easy to digest, and it’s quick. [28:09]

Nuts and nut butters are super nutritious. [30:26]

Seaweed is a centerpiece of the ancestral diet. It is a great source of iodine. When selecting seaweed products, make sure it hasn’t been processed in seed oil. [33:26]

Sweet potatoes and squash are an easy-to-digest nutritious source of carbohydrates, high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune boosting properties, good for gut health [34:32]

Learn how to navigate the oils and fats in your purchased foods and those you cook with. Get fresh first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. [36:45]

Do I need to supplement if I eat a healthy diet? Absolutely not. But….[43:18]

Vitamin D is more important than most people realize and many are not getting enough. [51:55] 

Beverages that are recommended are bottled mineral water and kombucha. [55:57]
