Quote from Tim Spector
I'm reading Tim Spector's The Diet Myth . Am finding it worthwhile and enjoyable. The following quote made me think of this community: The gut is the second-largest network of nerves outside of our heads and has been called our second brain. It has been estimated that the kilometres of neurons and n...

I'll start a fermentation meetup for those interested in creating their own fermented foods where we will make the ferment (for example sauerkraut or pickled vegetables) together while learning about it.

Re: International BMJ/Swiss Re Food for Thought Conference
Thanks! I really enjoyed the microbiome one. Interesting how Tim Spector talks about polyphenols as "gut fuel" as opposed to antioxidants. Has anyone read his book The Diet Myth ? I've been looking for a good book on gut health — would be great if someone could recommend something they fou...

Re: Dr. Gabriel Lyon - Benefits of High Protein
I found the podcasts really interesting, but am not knowledgable enough to evaluate Gabriel Lyon's claims. However, I'm cautiously intrigued. Like circular was saying earlier in the thread, I wish Rhonda Patrick would interview Gabriel! Something I can start doing straight away is adding some resist...

Re: Dr. Gabriel Lyon - Benefits of High Protein
You must have had one very happy sister ! My limited experience with Ontario, Canada is that once you get out of the cities, it offers lots of wide-open spaces, lakes, trees and space for feeling in touch with both yourself and nature.

Re: Ketogenic Diet: Transitioning, Experiences, Reasons, Cautions ...
Thanks everyone for the support and suggestions! Some things I'm currently trying: Drinking salted water in the morning, as well as after exercise. I do at least an hour of exercise a day, and this includes a lot of cardio/sweating. Previously my diet contained almost no sodium, and I think this mig...
