they're both sprouted and cooked for a long time and that's how i feel the best you know i um you know and and we some seasonally so right now like you know in the fall i will eat a lot of pumpkin i'll eat spaghetti squash and i'll have a lot of grass-fed beef and things like turkey like that's that's what i'm going to eat a lot of right now you know in the spring um i'll do more things that are more green and a lot more greens because in chinese medicine that's when you eat a lot of green food and i feel really good doing that then so anyways it's um uh but my diet is very high and the other the fat i tolerate the best is coconut by far i found that for myself so i do a lot of that in terms of my source of fat and then herbs and spices there's a few i do but i rotate them seasonally this fall i'll do a little bit of astragalus um to help balance my body and maybe a little bit of ginger as we move into winter um but you know that's uh my diet looks like a collagen like a bone broth smoothie for breakfast chicken vegetable soup for lunch and meat and triple vegetables for dinner yeah interesting and i like what you said about the pancreas and there's circadian rhythm there and that's something i've talked about on previous continuous glucose monitor podcasts it's very well known in human physiology that if you eat the same amount of carbohydrates in the morning and the same amount of carbohydrates at night your blood glucose response is going to be much more robust in the evening and you know you are we are humans are a little more insulin quote resistant in the evening and some people think that's good and i some people think it's bad but i can wear a cgm and eat 75 grams of carbs in the morning and 75 grams in the evening and it's the exact same food and my blood sugar is significantly higher in the evening and so yeah i think there's something to that i've talked about that on previous podcasts that there probably does appear to be a circadian rhythm to melatonin and insulin and maybe it makes sense to me that in the evening and that's one of the reasons i eat earlier in the day in the evening your body is kind of saying hey it's time to chill out maybe give the pancreas a rest maybe don't do so many carbs in the evening and you can tell that with a continuous glucose monitor something like that so that's that's quite interesting and i seasonally i hadn't thought about that but i do think seasonal eating is is valuable or at least something to think about it all kind of goes back to these evolutionary or at least ancestral principles i know we think about that a little differently but these ancestral principles and what we're kind of designed to do as humans trying to understand what is really a species appropriate diet for humans so thanks very much for coming on man having some conversation it's good to get your perspective it's always good to hear from somebody that thinks a little differently and hear this and i think it's valuable i think this this this really historical system is has a lot of wisdom and it's so cool when they especially when they overlap you know when we can see these things come together anything they they saw this 3000 years ago however long ago and this tcm medicine and we kind of see indications of that now and i think what we what we certainly agree on is the value of meat and organs in the human diet there is a toxicity spectrum for plants plants are powerful don't use them wrong and there's a lot of wisdom i think in not just treating the symptoms rather the root cause of the illness so thanks for coming on um where can people find more of your work ancient remedies comes out in february 2021 yeah so i'd say yeah you can go to draxe.com and if you've got a condition
