The Root of the Matter

Navigating Nutrition: Facts, Myths, and Personalized Guidance


Listen Later

Dr. Carver and functional medicine certified health coach Irene Chang demystify the confusing world of nutrition by exploring evidence-based approaches to eating and lifestyle changes. They discuss how conventional nutrition advice has misled us while revealing practical strategies for making sustainable health improvements without feeling deprived.

• Health coaching bridges the gap between medical advice and patient implementation through accountability, motivation, and personalized support

• The food pyramid promoted harmful practices like eating six times daily, causing blood sugar spikes and insulin resistance

• Protein-rich breakfasts (aim for 30g) provide longer satiety and help maintain muscle mass as we age

• Seed oils (soybean, corn, canola) are highly inflammatory while traditional fats like coconut oil may actually support health

• Elimination diets can identify personal food sensitivities and heal gut lining damage

• Fasting insulin levels predict health problems years before they manifest and should be regularly tested

• Simple meal prep strategies like batch cooking, freezing portions, and keeping frozen vegetables on hand make healthy eating practical

• Food combinations matter: eating protein and fat before carbohydrates can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes
