Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• If you’re going to eat a piece of produce’s skin or peel, buy organic
• Protein is the most satiating macronutrient; to facilitate weight loss, eat more protein
• If you’re eating a healthy, whole foods-heavy diet, aim to consume 3-5 grams of sodium per day (double what the American Heart Association recommends)
  • Avoid seat salt—it’s packed with microplastics; Himalayan pink salt is best
• Try to get 30 minutes of 1,000 lux intensity light before noon each day—this helps set the circadian rhythm
  • (There are a variety of phone apps that allow you to measure an environment’s light intensity)
• Chronic use of anticholinergic drugs (i.e., antihistamines, Benadryl, and many sleep aids) is associated with a dramatically increased risk for dementia
• One of the best things you can do to limit exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals: stop storing/cooking food in plastic
