Jay Feldman is an independent health researcher.  He graduated with honors from the University of Miami with degrees in Neuroscience and Exercise Physiology.  Jay helps people who struggle with chronic conditions and weight loss get back in control of their health. 

 

In this episode we talk about:

  • The issues with low-carb / Keto diets & intermittent fasting - How they affect our health from the energetic level to blood sugar regulation to thyroid and reproductive hormones

  • The detailed issues with the "calories in - calories out" equation and why it doesn't add up (calories are not equal, our bodies adapt, excess energy doesn't cause fat gain)

  • The concept of hormesis - essentially the idea that small amounts of stress are beneficial ("what doesn't kill you makes you stronger") and how this concept has been misconstrued.
