[10:49] Saying Yes to Healthier Options Will Help You Replace Unhealthy Habits · Habits and routines drive us, but if they're unhealthy, they don't serve us well in the long term. · Replacing unhealthy habits with healthy ones is key to success. · Learning to say yes to healthy alternatives is important, not just saying no to unhealthy ones. · Jumping over to a healthier lifestyle can lead to a future without regret. · Healthy alternatives like going to the gym, swimming, and sitting in an infrared sauna can make a big difference. · Loving healthy habits will serve better than junk food or half-hearted attempts at healthy living. [14:28] What are some of the things that contribute to weight loss? · If people struggle to lose weight despite having a good diet and exercise routine, the reason may be hormonal or genetics-related. · Ensuring that the thyroid is appropriately assessed and optimized is crucial. · Increasing thyroid function can naturally and safely lead to weight loss and improve low thyroid symptoms, such as depression, constipation, dry skin, and hair loss. · Many people's thyroid is not adequately managed because doctors only check for TSH levels, which can be in the "normal" range but not optimal for the individual. · Comparing thyroid levels to shoe sizes, finding the optimal level for each individual is important, rather than just accepting a "normal" range that may not work for everyone. [32:45] How do meal timing and exercise affect your weight loss? · The timing of when you consume calories affects hormonal effects and energy-burning modes. · Eating a calorie-dense meal late at night when your body is in hibernation mode can lead to more energy storage and difficulties losing weight. · Shifting the timing of meals and exercise can greatly impact weight loss, such as eating earlier in the day and taking a walk afterwards or doing cardio during daylight hours when the body is primed to burn energy. · When we wake up in the morning, our body is in fat-burning mode after digesting dinner from the night before. · Skipping breakfast and doing cardio in the morning before eating can enhance fat-burning mode and create a healthier intermittent fasting pattern. [37:21] Insulin Sensitivity and Its Role in Weight Loss · Insulin is a double-edged sword, helpful for clearing blood sugar out of circulation but harmful in excess, which is why maintaining insulin sensitivity is crucial. · Insulin moves blood sugar out of circulation and into cells but also signals to create fat. · High insulin levels lead to a constant signal to store fat, making weight loss impossible. · Boosting insulin sensitivity through methods like intermittent fasting can help lower insulin levels and make weight loss more possible.
