Dr Rachel Brown explores the intricate relationship between diet, particularly the carnivore diet, and various aspects of health, including fat loss, mental health, and the role of ketosis. The speakers discuss the hierarchy of fat loss, the challenges of weight loss stalls, and the significant impact of dietary choices on mental health. They emphasise the importance of mitochondrial health, the effects of fasting, and the role of epigenetics in health outcomes. Additionally, the conversation touches on the addictive nature of sugar and the challenges of implementing dietary changes within families.
