Overall, I really love your podcast, but this episode (and the one on manifesting) were disappointing for me and felt slightly problematic. In very general terms, I agree with what she is saying, sleep and move enough and eat “healthy” (quotations cause healthy is very bioindividual), those are the basics, and I am really happy that she is initiating research on women’s health. That is also kind of where I stopped agreeing, as with it came a lot of fearmongering about health and I think quite some misinformation as well; - Saying to stay away from seed oils as they are not good for you (widely disproven by meta-analyses); - Promoting to eat wild salmon (actually full of heavy metals); - Go to bed the latest at 9.30 and wake up super early (very unrealistic for most people cause of work and social schedules, but also some people just function better in the evening (hello ADHD’ers 😊) and in the Netherlands it is still dark at 8 in the winter so why get up before that?); - Saying ‘oatmeal with cranberries and a juice’ is fake healthy (not every meal has to be perfect and this meal is already quite healthy in general, add some peanut butter and you have all macronutrients); - Promoting to use a bloodsugar monitor (it is normal that you have a bloodsugar spike after having a meal also if it is really “healthy” that is just how the body works). People that do not need a bloodsugar monitor for their actual illness, for example diabetes, also limit the stock of bloodsugar monitors for people that actually do need it to stay alive. This is just to name a few things that really stood out to me, but there were more that I felt kind of the “ick” about. In general, we also know that sadly our health is very dependent on a lot of outside factors that we sometimes cannot change easily. For example, one might live next to a farm that sprays their crop with pesticides frequently, then you might be very healthy in terms of lifestyle but you can still develop alzheimer’s at an early age. The idea that we can control our health perfectly by our lifestyle choices might make people that try their best but still get sick feel like they just did not try hard enough (also the problem I had with the manifesting episode). Also putting so much focus on our health to be perfect (the basis of biohacking) that we need to control everything in our lives is in itself stressful, and can turn disordered (orthorexia). Lastly, I think it is also sad that people that are already very healthy and have no actual health concerns, take multiple MRI scans, do plasma cleaning and other medical diagnostics and treatments that they don’t really need, whilst actually ill people often have to wait long for those same medical interventions. After writing this very long comment, I just want to say that you cannot decide when you are going to die, just enjoy living and do not stress too much about it, you are doing great 😊(stressing too much about health is actually quite unhealthy ;p)

This is probably one of the best comments I’ve read on KZbin. I will say though that spotlighting an unconventional philosophy isn’t inherently problematic. Which interview is “the one on manifesting”?

@@gaila.9852 Aw thanks that means a lot, as I spend a lot of time writing it (time that should have been spent on my PhD :,)). So I agree partly with you. No, I don’t think that unconventional philosophies are problematic if the lifestyle that you are practicing is not hurting or damaging others, then you do you boo. What I do think can be problematic is that in this case a certain life style is promoted, which will supposedly give you a longer, healthier and happier life (something most of us want), but the life style contains actually some practices that, I think, can be harmful (and why I call them problematic). People also tend to copy life styles if they see a (self-proclaimed) expert promoting it, which is the case here and something we see happening a lot on social media concerning life style fads promoted by fitness or life style influencers (stay away from seed oils and oatmeal, carnivore diet, fruitarian diet, keto, etc). Side note, I don't think anyone can be a biohacking/longevity expert anyway, the human body is soooo complex and you can't know all the science on everything impacting longevity (nutrition, hormones, stress, social networks, privilige, poverty, diseases, pollution to name a few) that is why we have specialties within science. That said, I don’t think the interviewee as a person is problematic, I think she has really good intentions, but I do think she needs to have a closer look (at the scientific literature and) at some of the things that she promotes others to do to, according to her, ‘live a longer life’. (There are really more than one restaurant in LA that serve good food that is also good for your tummy 😊). Hope that makes sense.

@@lijpolau Thanks for your response and another great comment! I totally get what you’re saying. I don’t know (or care to know) Kayla’s age, but it seems like she intends to stick with this lifestyle for the long haul. Either way, sometimes it takes voicing a belief and hearing people’s responses to it to realize that your mindset is flawed. That’s one of the many ways we learn and grow. Again, even if hundreds of people comment on this video with (constructive) criticism for Kayla, I doubt she would care. Another interviewee may be receptive to peer feedback though. It’s also possible that a viewer could recognize the same, or a similar, flawed mindset within themselves. That’s why the conversation that comes from someone’s speaking freely is (usually) worth it.

Beautifully put! As an aside I was disappointed with this episode and the choice of guest due to her qualifications and the content. At many points of the episode, there’s a bullshitty feel or the feeling that a very simple concept is being overcomplicated

Yes, health is a very individual thing. For instance, I function way better when I eat really salty foods. I don't recommend this to anyone else. It's a personal thing and no doctor will agree with me. But I know how I feel more energy and focus after consuming salt. I'm even afraid of sharing this and someone thinking they need a lot of salt too. It's not how this works: you have to listen to YOUR body.

I love how she mentions basic, well-known things for health, but adds the scientific explanation & mindset. It really puts it in perspective of how each of those things help our bodies.

On the one hand I found this episode informative and interesting. I appreciated that she emphasised that aspects of bio hacking are simple and available to all to incorporate into daily life; sleep, natural light etc… on the other, I question whether this is really healthy to be constantly checking one’s health. It made me sad that there is only one restaurant in LA that she will dine at. Surely missing out on friends and families birthday dinners and celebrations is worse for one’s mental health than the physical impact of consuming a handful of dinners at restaurants not in line with this lifestyle.

It's possible because it's something you practice. And in the case of ADHD, I found that in my case, it was mostly because of trauma. The problem is not my brain, it was how I was treated as a child.

As a plus-size person who cares about health and not thinness, I LOVED this episode. Really great to hear that listening to my body during its cycle and walking with some strength training and cardio work is optimal for women’s bodies. Thank you so much @gracebeverley ❤️👏👏

Hugely triggering when she said she wakes up every day feeling amazing 😂As someone who hasn’t woken up feeling amazing for the last 10 years AND does everything by the book (I even bought a home sauna and pay the obscene cost of ag1 😅)
