March 20, 2025 - Conversation with Brian Thomas

We go after some concrete examples of first steps to improve health.  Nutrition seems to be the biggest lever in making dramatic change.Nearly every "nutrition fact" that was drilled into our heads as kids was the product of politicians, lobbyists and corporate propaganda.The "Food Pyramid" was highly influenced by industry groups like the National Association of Wheat Growers, the Corn Refiners Association, and the American Bakers Association7 servings of grains is a guaranteed path to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetesFats are essential for hormone production, brain function and energy yet are nearly eliminated by the "American Standard Diet"Eggs and meat have been wrongly maligned for decades but are now considered a mainstay for healthy living.Basically you will live longer by doing the opposite of what you were told by the "experts"!Evaluate food from the perspective of "vitality"The less processing steps the better. (Lettuce from the garden vs Twinkies!)The less artificial chemicals the better. (Roundup, pesticides, antibiotics, preservatives...)US allows 10,000 "Generally Recognized As Safe" additives vs 400 allowed in EuropeKeto is no longer a "diet fad" but an effective treatment of everything from diabetes to cancer to Alzheimer'sThe first meeting of Restore Wellness will be on March 26th at The Farm in Delhi:  https://restorewellness.org/resources/events/20250326-meeting
