I am pleased to introduce a rebroadcast of my Deconstructing Dr. Tommy Wood Insights, part 2 show!

This episode covers a variety of topics, such as gut health and how it relates to autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions, polarized training, the benefits of consuming more food (and how you know when to dial it back), how long the (negative) effects of vegetable oil stay in your system, carbohydrates, and more.



TIMESTAMPS:

There’s a tremendous link between gut health and cognitive conditions like depression. [02:07] 

What is the problem with canola oil once in a while? [05:57] 

A lot of people find that just eliminating gluten from the diet, causes a quick improvement in digestive symptoms. [08:08] 

If you cut process carbs from your diet, you can meet your glucose needs in other ways. [09:17] 

Water retention plays a big part as a result of carbohydrate ingestion. [11:46] 

Going over the recommended maximum heart rate is not good. Learn about polarized training. [14:56] 

You can mess up your gut health by NOT doing polarized training. [20:02] 

An interesting point is that as an athlete doing a hard workout, you’re pushing yourself pretty hard, you’re depleting cellular energy.  [20:39] 

Autophagy is a good thing: starving your cells of energy in contrast to overfeeding them. [22:03] 

Be careful about overdoing it. [24:21] 

Brad’s intuitive approach to Keto eating is working well for him. [25:38] 

If you have a “cheat day” you’ll have that concept in your brain and that means there’s something wrong with your baseline diet.  [27:25] 

Why is it so difficult to keep our commitments aligned with our highest ideals? [29:51]
