Based on current knowledge this is my diet perspective:

👎No:
Really low carb
Keto/Vegan/Veggie
Unsaturated fats
Frequent fasting especially in Spring/Summer

👍Yes:
Seasonal local foods
Quality animal proteins
Saturated fats
Eating less & occasional fasting in Autumn/Winter
This is because your nervous system is the most important thing to protect.

Anything that stresses you when you are trying to navigate an already hyper stimulating and stress inducing world is not ideal.

Nature means the body can deal with more cortisol during colder months.
Ketosis reduces thyroid function & breaks down muscle tissue = stress by design.

You don't want to stay in ketosis during abundant spring/summer months.

It is not natural to place the body into a starvation mode outside of the natural restriction period of darkest winter.
Within a full four season pattern of restriction and abundance this works in balance.

The permanently abundant state of multiple 'out of season' and 'out of region' foods causes strain on the body.

It could be that poor metabolic flexibility is indicator of cuisine overwhelm!

The microbiome: beginners🧵

The next period in health will orientate around the microbiome.

This is actually health knowledge focus forgotten due to blood test culture & reductionist ways.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, concluded this towards the end of his life:
I am noticing people talking about the microbiome incorrectly and this is an important topic so I have put this thread together.

The human microbiome is a collection of diverse microorganisms that live throughout your body - both inside & outside of it.

britannica.com/science/human-…
These microorganisms include many, many species of:

🦠bacteria
🦠bacteriophage
🦠fungi (including yeast)
🦠protozoans
🦠archaea
🦠parasites
🦠viruses
🦠prions

x Magnesium girl....

which magnesium, which brand & how much?

The🧵to which I will refer anyone who asks these questions!

Unlike most supplements magnesium is unstable by itself so always 'hangs out with a mate' - hehe.

This mate is called a chelate (pronounced: key-layt).
Some 'forms' or 'compounds' of magnesium are naturally found in nature...

Form - Magnesium percentage - name/AKA:

Oxide - 60.30% - periclase
Hydroxide - 41.68% - brucite
Carbonate - 28.83% - magnesite/chalk
Chloride - 25.53% - magnesium flakes
Sulfate - 20.19% - Epsom salt
It is possible to supplement the above orally
- ie. swallowing.

But Epsom salts & magnesium flakes are most commonly used topically via bathing.

Enjoying a bath or footbath with either (or both) allows the magnesium to enter your bloodstream through hair follicles & nails.

Covid Vaccine Support

Your situation:
1) Concerned about having a poor reaction to the vaccine/booster
2) Have decided to take the vaccine/booster as feel like you have no choice

Key recommendation: Supplement with magnesium glycinate month before & carry on after the injection
Magnesium will help your health, sleep and immunity right across the board. There are thousands of studies into some of the ways magnesium helps with disease, disorder etc.

If you are new to me or magnesium please read about us here: Image
Magnesium is big for cardio health: openheart.bmj.com/content/5/1/e0…

It has been missed from conversations because..

even though it is assumed it does and is used every day right across the world..

a blood test CANNOT indicate the level of magnesium in the body!

GAINS: Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, meat fats,

I bought a food processor & air fry veg & potatoes
LOSS: Highly processed food & take away meals
eg. any food I could not make myself in my kitchen

GAINS: Shopping at the farmers market & eating things like fresh venison heart, local cheeses & homemade soups. Getting random organic vegetables delivered & learning more about food
