The Hybrid Diet With Patrick Holford - Alternating Fats & Carbs to Boost Energy, Get Lean And Improve Health

Summary: Not every suggested-diet you find online will work for you. Find out in this latest episode of the Enduring Health Podcast why you should be wary of the diet you choose. Today Dr Shan talks to Patrick Holford, the author of The Hybrid Diet. Patrick describes the many health benefits you get from trying this simple approach to healthy eating. KEY TAKEAWAYS The cell’s energy house, the mitochondrion, runs on glucose which we get from carbohydrates, or ketones which we get from fats. Muscle cells can burn fats but the brain and neurones can’t, so we need both. When your body undergoes ketogenesis, it undergoes a cellular repair process which cleans up the mitochondria. Taking supplements is very effective to get enough amount of nutrients for your body. If it is not balanced, you’ll need more nutrients to make it balanced. Low carb, high-fat diet can hugely help people with Type II Diabetes and even people with multiple sclerosis. Our diet and nutrition have evolved ever since the pre-historic area. Our diet right now is a high seafood diet containing selenium, b12, omega-3, etc. For people experiencing dementia, they may have degenerating cells because they’ve been eating a lot of carbs and sugar. If you reduce carbs and stick to fats that produce ketones, the nugget cells come back to life. To ensure that your brain is in a healthy condition, one must get checked if he’s getting the right nutrients (e.g. omega-3, phospholipids, etc.) 4 primary underlying processes that go wrong: -Blood sugar -Fats   -Antioxidants -Methylation of B vitamins How long do you have to avoid carbohydrates to start getting any sort of effects? 18 hours minimum. The Hybrid Diet makes the individual the master of his own metabolism instead of sticking to the available diet. BEST MOMENTS “It is not only the diet is quite important. For conditions, it’s diet and also supplements is the most effective to release side effects.” “Neurones – brain cells and nerve cells – have the ability to run only on ketones.” “There’s plenty of places where diabetes, heart disease, cancer don’t exist.” “I’ve done an 18-hour carb fast. It’s a phenomenally easy way to lose weight. You do get a consistently high energy level, clear brain function, and so on.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES What is HbA1c?
