In an era where mainstream health advice is often tainted by pharmaceutical interests, it’s refreshing to explore natural, time-tested methods for improving metabolic health.
One such approach is intermittent fasting (IF) and time-restricted eating (TRE), which have gained popularity for their ability to enhance metabolic flexibility. Let’s dive into these concepts and see how they can help us reclaim our health from the clutches of Big Pharma and processed food industries.
METABOLIC MINEFIELD: Navigating the Hidden Influences on Your Body’s Engine
Imagine your body is a campfire. To keep it burning bright, you need three types of fuel: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Each plays a unique role in how your body creates energy, repairs itself, and stays healthy.
But here’s the catch: the modern food system, heavy metal exposure, personal care products, pharmaceutical drugs, seed oils, microplastics, glyphosate and gluten, are a metabolic minefield as they fill our bodies with toxins and overwhelm our systems with the wrong kinds of fuel, which leaves us metabolically broken.
This book will help you identify things that are negatively influencing your health and develop a plan to minimize toxins in and maximize toxins out, so that your metabolic system can function optimally.

Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, with popular protocols like the 16:8 method (fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window) and the 5:2 approach (eating normally for five days and restricting calories for two days).
Time-restricted eating, on the other hand, focuses on aligning your eating window with your circadian rhythms, typically within a 10-12 hour period each day. These methods are not just fads; they are rooted in our ancestral practices and have been shown to offer numerous health benefits, free from the side effects of synthetic drugs.
One of the most fascinating aspects of fasting is the metabolic switch from glucose to ketones.
When you fast, your body depletes its glycogen stores and starts burning fat for fuel, producing ketones. This process enhances mitochondrial efficiency, which is crucial for energy production and overall cellular health. Additionally, fasting induces autophagy, a cellular cleanup process that removes damaged components and recycles them for repair and regeneration. This natural detoxification process is far superior to any pharmaceutical intervention, as it taps into our body’s innate healing mechanisms.
Improving insulin sensitivity is another significant benefit of intermittent fasting.
By reducing glycogen stores, fasting increases the sensitivity of GLUT4 receptors, which are responsible for glucose uptake in cells. This means your body becomes more efficient at managing blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This is a stark contrast to the band-aid solutions offered by Big Pharma, which often involve lifelong medication with harmful side effects.
Fasting also plays a crucial role in upregulating human growth hormone (HGH), which is essential for fat loss and muscle preservation.
During fasting, HGH levels can increase significantly, promoting fat metabolism and protecting lean muscle mass. This natural hormone boost is a testament to the body’s ability to heal and optimize itself without synthetic interventions.
Consider the case of religious fasting, such as during Ramadan. Studies have shown that this practice can lead to improved lipid profiles, reduced inflammation, and better metabolic health. These benefits are a stark contrast to the harmful effects of processed foods and pharmaceutical drugs, highlighting the power of natural, time-tested practices.
Intermittent fasting also offers significant benefits for gut health.
By giving your digestive system a break, fasting can increase microbial diversity and reduce gut permeability, which is crucial for overall health. A healthy gut microbiome is essential for nutrient absorption, immune function, and even mental health. This is yet another example of how natural practices can outperform synthetic solutions.
Time-restricted eating aligns beautifully with our circadian rhythms, optimizing metabolic function.
Studies have shown that aligning your eating window with your body’s natural rhythms can lead to better weight management, improved sleep, and enhanced overall health. This approach is a far cry from the one-size-fits-all dietary guidelines pushed by mainstream health organizations, which often fail to consider individual needs and natural cycles.
It’s important to address common misconceptions about fasting, such as the fear of muscle loss or entering ‘starvation mode.’
Evidence shows that, when done correctly, fasting can actually preserve muscle mass and enhance fat loss. The body is incredibly adaptable and resilient, capable of thriving in a fasted state. This resilience is a testament to our natural design, which has been honed over millennia, not by pharmaceutical companies but by the wisdom of our ancestors.
In conclusion, intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating offer powerful, natural methods for enhancing metabolic flexibility and overall health.
By embracing these practices, we can take control of our well-being, free from the harmful influences of Big Pharma and processed food industries. It’s time to reclaim our health and trust in the natural, innate wisdom of our bodies.
The Microlife BodyGem and MedGem indirect calorimetry devices measure your clients Resting Metabolic Rate, to optimize their weight loss results.
Instead of estimating RMR with the Harris-Benedict or Katch-McArdle formula, the BodyGem and MedGem scientifically measure a clients Metabolic Fingerprint, that is unique to them.
Estimation formulas cannot factor in thyroid issues, the effects of medications, etc.
For the best care, the American Dietetics Association recommends using indirect calorimetry to measure RMR for the most accurate assessment of nutritional needs.
The BodyGem and MedGem are the same type indirect calorimeter. They have the same functionality, accuracy and reliability.
The difference is that the MedGem is a FDA 510K-cleared, class II, medical device, which allows licensed clinicians to make insurance claims on their measurements.
