MAIN IDEA

Our bodies are designed to burn fat as fuel, but modern diets high in carbohydrates prevent this natural process.

DID YOU KNOW?

Eating carbs triggers an "emergency response" in our bodies, similar to constantly using a car's emergency brake instead of regular brakes.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, health expert Casey Ruff explains that our bodies are naturally designed to burn fat as fuel. However, modern diets high in carbohydrates prevent this process. Ruff compares eating too many carbs to triggering an "emergency response" in our bodies. He points out that historically, humans had limited access to carbohydrates, making them a rare treat. Today, we have constant access to carbs, which can lead to health problems like diabetes and obesity. Ruff suggests that reducing carb intake and focusing on fats and proteins can help shift our metabolism back to burning fat. This change can lead to better energy levels, improved brain function, and easier weight loss. The episode also touches on the widespread health issues caused by our current eating habits, visible in crowded hospitals and increasing rates of chronic diseases. Ruff emphasizes that these problems can be prevented or reversed by changing our diets to match our body's natural fuel preferences.
