Description
Most people believe that carbs give you energy, fat makes you fat, and protein builds muscles - but this is not how the body works. In fact, we metabolize macronutrients very differently - often counter-intuitively - and it's important to understand the hormonal impact of food as you attempt to find balance. Too much protein can be just as problematic as too many carbs but how do you know how much is too much? What are some baseline measurements you can use in your own life? My guest on this week's podcast, Stephen Cabral, ND, will make this easy to understand. Listen & Learn: Risks, rewards, and reality of keto diets Why protein is harder to digest How 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight is usually ideal Why too much protein creates too much IGF-1 that can feed cancer Ectomorph/Vata: lean and long, difficulty building muscle Endomorph/Kapha: higher body fat, often pear-shaped, gain muscle and fat easily Mesomorph/Pitta: muscular and well-built, high metabolism, responsive muscle cells Links & Resources: Stephen's Website ABOUT THE HOST Stephen Cabral is a board-certified naturopathic doctor with post-doctoral specialties in Ayurvedic and functional medicine.
