Why We’re Wired to Eat and the Autoimmune Solution – with Robb Wolf

Angela talks with Robb Wolf,  former research biochemist, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best-selling author and co-host of ‘The Healthy Rebellion Radio’ podcast
They discuss their own blood sugar issues, effectively tracking blood sugar, the impact of moving to a low carb diet and how the 7 Day Carb Test can help you to make better-informed decisions
Robb also shares great information and advice for those who want to optimise their health but have additional  challenges such as complex autoimmune and metabolic issues, explaining exactly how you can achieve optimum health and the results you want
This is also a great opportunity to hear about the vital role sodium plays in the body and why it’s so important to rehydrate and remineralise in the right way
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Individuals can eat a zero carbohydrate diet and still have elevated blood glucose levels due to hepatic glucose release in response to high levels of stress and poor sleep
Eating particular  foods can register as a stress response due to the process of eating it or how it interfaces with the gut biome
The state of ketosis is subjective to the individual and the volume and intensity of their activity and individually how metabolic healthy and flexible they are
Every nerve impulse and muscle contraction is driven by changes in sodium potassium status both inside and outside of cells
Elevated insulin levels from overeating and intake of refined foods can be the driver for hypertension
When people clean up their diet they reduce both their carbohydrate load and sodium intake
Heat, humidity, and physical activity all increase the demands for good rehydration  
When you reach the required level of sodium your appetite for sodium rich foods decreases
All nutrients and micronutrients have a flavour but only sodium has a specific taste receptor. Sodium rich foods are usually more protein dense and more nutrient dense
The 7 Day Carb Test helps you to determine how you handle the glycaemic load of carbohydrates
From person to person the carbohydrate response can be very different, everyone varies and you need to focus on your total glucose displacement over time
 
BEST MOMENTS
‘I shifted into a low carb diet and it was magic for me’
‘When you are intolerant to a particular food it results in stress for the body’
‘People rarely have an accurate insight into their blood glucose responses to different foods, the 7 Day Carb Test provides this so that individuals can make informed decisions’
