58:30 I heard a food specialist researcher say that, reason fruit sugar is no issue, regardless of amount, is because of the fibres in the fruit, the fibres creates a gel in your intestine so it blocks a lot of the sugar from going into your body. The result is that it sends the sugar further down the intestine so that your microbiology, the bacteria etc. gets to feed on the sugar instead.

I listened to the podcast on Google Play and came here to comment on how I really enjoyed this interview. I could listen to Mike for another 3 hours. I am thankful to Mike for sharing his story and life experiences. It's evident from the way he speaks that he is a compassionate and kind person. Wishing him lots of love and peace.

Super cool exchange, Rich. Hormones were the make-or-break factor for a good number of close friends involved in marathon training. Those who continually neglected their internal balances in favor of "peak performance" via dieting were left with a number of chronic health issues.

[@tb8827]

Female hormones are very different. I can testify to that! Would love to know how to understand/ master my own chemicals and am looking at scientific papers and information released on Google. Can you bring a neuroscientist or other expert on to talk about the hormonal differences and manifestations between women and men please? :)

[@Vrin137]

You are 100% right about the baby snatching, I am an example of that, I was taken as a baby and sold for 25K to the highest bidder via a private Dr to a couple in their late 50's, in hindsight I was lucky could of been far worst!! They target innocent women or young couples that are distracted or the dr will pretend she needs to be put to sleep due to urgent birthing, then say the baby died/still birth, then sell the baby. I used to be ashamed about my situation but now I am not anymore, people need to know it's happening, especially parents. Luckily with DNA sites I am getting closer to find my immediate family, already have 2nd cousins helping me :)

A life devoid of True Love and Friendship is truly poor. Similar to having all the money in the world and a body that's unhealthy, We must attend to all aspects of life with grace. A very exciting concept that is achievable. Your podcast delivers this message in a way that's never been delivered before. Thank you!

[@alexandrac9536]

What a fantastic discussion that covered so much. So much of this I could relate to.

[@SisterFinch]

You guys, this is such an important and really necessary conversation especially around mental health and suicide. I also think we need to bring more women into the conversation. I’m 41 years old and spent most of my adolescent and adult depressed and suicidal. Turns out I’ve had a hormone imbalance my whole life as well an iron deficiency. At times I’ve been suicidal myself. I think educating people, especially the younger generation on this subject as well as the importance of things like Iron, could literally save lives!

[@terencej72]

Great Interview. I've always struggled with my weight sometimes being 50-60lbs overweight. However since doing an intermittent fast on recommendation of a work colleague who suggested i started studying hormones and how they affect the mind and the body it's been a revelation to me. I've been steadily dropping 1.5lbs per week (sometimes a bit more) for the past 4 months just by missing my breakfast and lunch 2 days per week. I'm hungry at times during the day i'm doing this but i keep telling myself i'm not going to starve and i drink plenty of water (about 2 litres per day or 70 fl oz). The one thing i have noticed is that when i go to break my fast i don't crave fatty or comfort foods as much as i would eating normally. Instead i find myself eating a bit less and generally wanting greens and fish. I've also noticed when you break your fast even food normally considered bland seems a little bit tastier. That's my experience FWIW.

[@wendyhamilton2826]

Agreed, I used to do a lot of intermitent fasting when in 20's & 30's, reason being, once I start eating in the day, suddenly I get hungry, so to avoid eating too much, I wouldn't eat until dinner time & lost cravings for sweets & kept a healthy weight and also never got sick

[@kenadams5504]

If you quit sugar , the taste of vegetables etc. magnifies even more.

[@functionalaestheticse.c.8953]

Great information here. I don't fully agree with everything here but I agree that "compassion is a form of strength". When you can put aside your agenda for a while and focus on the needs of others it shows strength in that you are able to do this without worrying about losing ground.

[@mariascoma7718]

It was very interesting but I’m a female so I don’t know what to do about all the men advice. The takeaway for me was that we’re all to some degree adrenal fatigue and if that could be addressed in a female’s body I’d be interested in that.

[@jennybamford5957]

Dr Barnard has some great insights for men and women

[@camc2252]

Well, some educated individuals who work in line with functional medicine say that there is no scientific proof of adrenal fatigue. That the hormonal imbalance depends often on other things. Suffice to say it is a complex issue, not well understood in general medicine and it needs systemic approach (IMHO).

[@steveglassvideo]

My understanding of the smoothie issue is that you're skipping the first stop in your biome. "Chew each mouthful 40 times" is great because that is mixing your saliva in with your food. Saliva is part of your microbiome and carries with it essential bacteria. That's the argument, as I understand it, with smoothies. Mastication is the preferred method of ingestion for our microbiome.

[@kdhoward83]

Think about the experiment in science class where we dissolved rock salt versus a large rock of salt. The broken salt dissolved faster because of increase surface area. This relate to smoothies because the surface area is nearly infinite on the food. The body is seeing this Infinite surface area and contact with stomach acid, leading to the near instant release of glucose and insulin in the body

[@eddyalexiou9951]

interesting stuff 👌💪

[@scarlet8078]

I'm a neuro, and he's 100% correct that brainwave entrainment can occur by listening to music and clearing one's mind. There is some research into this occurring at different frequencies of sound, but I don't think the frequency matters as much as rhythmic breathing, clearing one's mind, and listening to slow sounds/ music. It's been done for thousands of years with Asian flute music, and I suspect with other music in African and Middle eastern cultures. If you want to try this, I recommend some of the channels here on KZbin such as "Meditation & Healing" (I think that's the name) which overlays higher tones on top of slower base tones and uses binaural recording. Sit there with headphones, listen to the sound and clear your mind, breathing slowly, and within about 10 min you will feel other stimuli drop away, as if you're "tethered" by the top note. It's a unique experience and lowers blood pressure, relieves anxiety, raises testosterone, etc.

[@steelkettlebellclub4854]

Hey Rich, great video, keep your smoothies, just chew them as you drink them.It will take a bit longer, but the chewing action releases the digestive enzyme amylase so you will absorb all the nutrients of the smoothie and it will digest better, so no bloating or gas that some people experience with smoothies. Derek Simnett from Simnett nutrition touches on this topic, please interview him on your youtube videos. I think that will make for a very interesting and informative show. Thanks for all you do.

[@MikeMahleraggressivestrength]

[@southerngrandma4353]

Steel Kettlebell Club How do you chew a liquid?

[@fracritel]

Here’s a little trick caught up some celery and add it to your smoothie after you’ve already blended up the smoothie and that will give you something to chill it’s got a lot of fiber in it it’ll allow you to masticate the smoothie better and it kind of goes pretty much with anything it’s kind a has a neutral taste

[@EmmaDee]

Frank Critelli dear I despise the taste of celery worse than anything. It’s like number two on my top 10.

Great podcast! Concerning smoothies, I have bypassed the problem of too much processing of the ingredients by making Roughies, instead. If you must feel the need to chew your roughie then I believe you will have blended the correct texture.

As a young adult i used to focus on organ health but now get that it’s about hormones which starts with diet. I had some abdominal fat (sub and visceral) that wouldn’t go away. I did 360 lipo (sub) and now on recovery I am shedding overall and doing keto for the visceral. I feel like removing the active adipose made a difference in my hormonal profile. Anyone have any literature on this? Or similar experiences?
