He did mention in the youtube from a couple years back that the Nigerians were not eating the same type of grain we eat here. I have heard him say cheese bad, and I am your typical 4 that loves cheese. But, I thought everyone does, even 2s.
I supplement with EVOO, but I also think dairy should be considered on a case-by-case basis. I seem to do fine with dairy, so use it. I don't drink straight milk because of the sugars. I make kefir with milk, which converts most of the sugars. I also eat lots of cheese, but choose better quality, usually European because of their more strict guidelines. Same for butter. I mix the kefir with high-grade whey protein. I put heavy cream in my coffee. This is working for me. Other folks here choose different diets. Listening to all the "experts" will often lead to conflicting advice. You need to experiment to see what works best for you.
I need to brag now. I did 16 IF, went running, weight lifting class and sauna and now I am eating spinach with EVOO. By the way, in that youtube clip, Gundry mentions how he thought its bad that a 4 ate a burger and then went to cross fit. I wonder if body pump class at 24 hour fitness is also something he would consider not good for 4's. Just wondering....
Nice! Did he say cross fit was not good for 4s, or just not good after a burger? The more you exercise now, the more you protect your blood brain barrier and keep fuel and nutrients going to the brain, keeping your neurons happy and alive. This is important for everyone, but especially for 4s. All types of exercise. There is a flattening of the helpfulness curve, but most of us are nowhere close to where it stops being beneficial to add a bit more.
