Are you a sugar burner or a fat burner? Hint: if you struggle with energy crashes, irritability, fatigue, or brain fog, you’re probably a fat burner!
This week, Jackie talks about healthy fats and the dangerous blood sugar roller coaster. Humans have trillions of calories of fat in their bodies, yet a vast number still rely on sugar and processed food as an energy source to get through the day. But as you’ll quickly learn, running off of healthy fats instead of sugar creates more effective and longer-lasting fuel.
Jackie will start off by talking about blood sugar dysregulation and how it has become such a huge problem in the present-day world. Then, you’ll hear why you should incorporate healthy fats into your diet.
From more energy to clear-headedness, you’ll want to reap the benefits of consuming healthy fats. After listening, you’ll know exactly what foods you should incorporate into your diet!
 
Key Topics/Takeaways:
Why blood sugar dysregulation is on the rise. Impacts of blood sugar dysregulation. Reasons you should eat more healthy fats. How you can incorporate healthy fats into your diet. What your poop should look like. Ways to know that you are digesting your fat correctly.  Memorable Quotes:
“Most of us are walking around with a lot of blood sugar dysregulation. And that means that we basically are running off our sugar for most of the day. What we want is for you to be a fat burner.” (2:22, Jackie)
“The best way to have great energy, balanced weight, awesome sleep, is to get off the blood sugar rollercoaster and fuel yourself off the trillions of calories of fat that you already have in your system.” (5:17, Jackie)
“There is no blood sugar spike when you are eating healthy fats. So guess what that means? Your blood sugar is kept stable, your insulin is kept stable. That means inflammation is kept at bay and you are more metabolically flexible.” (8:45, Jackie)
“So we wanna get the blood sugar spiking and dipping out of the picture. If we did that as a society, as a community, we wouldn't have the issue that we've got today with type 2 diabetes. We wouldn't have the issue with metabolic diseases. We wouldn't have the issue that we've got with weight, with excess weight.” (13:12, Jackie)
