Angela welcomes back Dr Lara Briden, to talk about her new book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" and the impact of modern food supply and environmental toxins on metabolism, particularly in women.

Dr Briden delves into the concept of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, highlighting the intergenerational effects and the role of epigenetics, as well as various indicators of insulin resistance, including symptoms like constant hunger and weight gain around the middle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance, is influenced by factors like modern food supply, environmental toxins, and genetic predispositions passed down through generations.

• Common symptoms of insulin resistance include feeling hungry all the time, gaining weight around the middle, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, fatty liver, skin tags, and blood sugar fluctuations.

• Dr Briden recommends key nutritional supplements for improving metabolic health, including magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine, which can help with insulin sensitivity, nervous system balance, and overall health.

• The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in metabolic health, and strategies to support it include stress management techniques, outdoor light exposure, human connection, and regular ovulation for women.

• Berberine, similar to metformin, can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce metabolic endotoxemia, making it a potential supplement for addressing gut health and blood glucose control

BEST MOMENTS

"This problem is a combination of food supply and environmental toxins." 

"I think it's really important to recognise that what works for someone isn't necessarily going to work for somebody else."
