[10:55] The Holistic Savage
[15:10] Self-Awareness about Becoming Introverted
[16:50] Overcomplicating Everything
[19:20] Starting with the Fundamentals
[22:30] Women and Weight-Loss
- Many women suffer from hormone imbalance and weight-loss resistance. Stress and toxins drive a lot of it.
- Eating a standard American diet is a big issue that Brendan sees. When people think they need to get in shape – they focus on diet and exercise. Plus, they are fueling the process with self-loathing and a sense of inadequacy.
- Step one: fuel the health building journey out of unconditional self-love. Practice self-love more regularly. We all judge ourselves – let’s start accepting ourselves and judging less harshly. Loving ourselves enough to have the discipline to practice self-love. Create space for yourself to heal, then apply the fundamental principles.
- The health and fitness industry uses their marketing by asking if we are unhappy with the way we look.
- Sleep needs to be a priority.
[27:40] What’s Wrong with Eating Less and Moving More
- Everything comes back to the mind. We need to challenge our belief system and the story that we are telling ourselves. Start with self-awareness, self-love, and eating real food.
- Counting your calories is a big distraction from the things that actually matter.
[30:50] The Relationship Between Weight-Loss Resistance and Inflammation
- What drives disease? Ultimately it’s inflammation and oxidative stress. They go hand-in-hand and are the destructive processes that lead to disease.
- Have some kind of objective assessment to determine these two variables.
- Most women have autoimmunity activity in their bodies. Just because you haven’t been diagnosed doesn’t mean autoimmunity isn’t occurring.
- Autoimmunity is a process where the immune system starts destroying our own tissues. Ultimately, it’s a gut health destruction and a trigger that’s confusing the immune system.
- If you add up the cases of autoimmunity – it would outrank cancer. All types of cancer are represented by “cancer.” Whereas with autoimmunity, every disease is looked at separately.
[37:35] Determining Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
- What’s triggering these? Environment, lifestyle, food, bugs, and toxins.
- “We are more microbe than human.”
- Brendan is working with a lab to bring on inflammation and oxidative stress test to the market. Right now, there isn’t a test to bring both of those answers at a decent price point.
- As we work through a health program, we should see those numbers go down.
- Brendan’s favorite way to test for these is on a bunch of different markers on various tests.
[41:30] Leaky Gut
- If you swallow dirty lake water, there are all sorts of bugs in that water. However, there should be a barrier in our gut that protects us. If that barrier is broken, it leaves us susceptible to these bugs.
- Gluten will trigger leaky gut.
