Optimal Metabolism – Details, episodes & analysis

Miguel Bautista is the founder of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CSF) Recovery. He specializes in helping individuals recover from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid through neuroplasticity and brain rewiring techniques. Miguel shared his powerful story of when he woke up one day and was astonishingly incapable of sustaining his own needs which led to months spent bedridden in the hospital with unexplainable symptoms and debilitating pain. Ultimately, it wasn't until Miguel crossed paths with a psychiatrist that he was able to truly conquer his health and live independently again, pain free. In this episode Miguel retells his story and explains the 3-step protocol he uses for resetting the nervous system.

Sarah Kleiner is a coach in applied quantum biology and a circadian health expert. Sarah tried nearly every diet, from vegan and vegetarian to carnivore and beyond until finally understanding the root cause of her chronic inflammation and infertility. She used a combination of lifestyle and therapeutic interventions including healing from low leptin levels, watching the sunrise and being outside as much as possible, blocking artificial light, eating seasonally, and so much more, to accomplish optimal health. It was such a joy to pick Sarah's brain on leptin resistance- what it is, how to test for it, and the role it plays in weight loss resistance. 

WHAT WE DISCUSSED:

[6:40]- How the carnivore diet temporarily healed Sarah's inflammation until she learned how to heal the root cause of her symptoms. 

[19:12]- What is leptin resistance? What is the difference between treating high leptin and low leptin? 

[31:48]- What does Sarah cover in her 21 Day Leptin Reset Program? What are her thoughts on blue light and blue light blocking glasses? 

[42:34]- How do seasonal diets tend to be most effective when practiced in alignment with the corresponding season and sunlight patterns? 

[53:20]- What benefits has Sarah observed since using the hydrogen machine?

Many of my clients and followers are willing to make necessary lifestyle changes to reverse their insulin resistance, except when it comes to their coffee! So many struggle to give up creamers, sweeteners and alternative sweeteners, or protein sources added to coffee, and make the switch to black coffee instead.

This week we discuss:

• (28:50) Drink your coffee with the first meal of your day to control your insulin response if adding any macronutrients
