One of my dear friends, a very famous functional doc, bemoaned to me recently that he’s getting fat. I asked why. He responded (and I’ll keep his name private here) “I sit in front of the TV at night and eat junk food. Can’t seem to help myself.” That about sums it up.
If people properly nourish themselves with a diet that includes healthy fats, this late night starvation feeling does not kick in. I see many patients who crave potato chips because they are on a low salt diet, when they should just dump processed food and eat real sea salt, pasture meats, and good veg.
Pesticides and heavy metals destroy the gut, so avoiding them is key. I have stopped eating brown rice for this reason. What used to be a healthy choice now is full of arsenic. Just ordered organic potatoes to plant for next season, though I’m not fond of gardening, so we have clean starches. And I can always make vodka if times get lean
