If you don't get deep REM sleep, then you may toss and turn through out the night... when that happens, it doesn't matter if you sleep 4 hours or 10 hours, chances are you'll wake up feeling tired and with brain fog...

Many of the benefits of sleep happen only when you can improve your sleep... weight loss is one of those benefits and in this episode we go over how sleep helps you lose weight and how you can improve your sleep...

Why do you want to get more energy?

Getting more energy will require a lifestyle change... if you don't have a strong enough reason why you want more energy, then what's likely to happen is that you'll make changes until you start to feel better...

Once you start feeling better, you are likely to go back to your old lifestyle and struggle again...

I myself was stuck in this cycle for the first seven years when I first started learning about optimizing my microbiome...

It was only when I was back to feeling tired all the time that I would start doing things for my health...

If you want lasting change, so that you can live an active lifestyle without having to depend on supplements then you need to have a strong reason why that pulls you towards a healthy lifestyle... your why will help you develop good habits so that you don't have to depend on will power or diets to feel good in your body and full of energy...

Most Common Diet Mistakes and What to Do About Them

People who struggle with low energy and weight are usually told to cut out gluten, dairy, sugar or they live off caffeine...

You may have the false belief that salt is bad for you...

Or you may have heard that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" not realizing that it was a marketing campaign by Dr Kellog's looking to sell Corn Flakes...

These false beliefs are the reason why people make mistakes with their diet and most don't even know it...

From their perspective, they feel like they've tried everything and nothing works... but in reality, they are doing good things with bad foods because they don't have the discernment to know what is good food...

How to Use Fasting as a Tool to Get More Energy & Lose Weight

One of the insights that changed the way I think of health was finding out yeast candida was the reason I would feel gassy, bloated, and constipated...

What made this so impactful was realizing that the first time I'd seen the word yeast candida was in beer brewing book.

This yeast strain was the same yeast strain that would spoil a batch of beer.

When I understood that piece, gut health made sense in a way that I can't even begin to describe... the probiotics and bad bacteria we find in brewing are the same we find in our gut. They respond to the same environmental factors.

This is when I started asking myself, "what do I do if I get a bad yeast strain when brewing and it spoils my batch of beer?"

The answer is that I have to dump out the bad batch so that I could clean and sanitize my brewing equipment...

That's when fasting made the most sense as a tool that I could use to empty out my body vessel so that I could clean and sanitize it...

In this podcast we talk about the different lessons I've learned about fasting, including how to use fasting as a tool to get more energy and lose weight.
