Episode notes
Choose Strength And Gentle Cardio Over Endurance
- Favor resistance training and walking while avoiding long-duration cardio that chronically raises cortisol.
- Use short sprints with walks if doing HIIT, but avoid excessive exercise when autoimmune issues exist.
Prioritize Ruminants, Add Others Slowly
- Start with ruminant meats (beef, lamb) and added animal fat, then reintroduce other animals every few days.
- Avoid chicken and pork early because higher omega-6 and inflammatory profiles can hinder healing.
Salt Up On Non‑Iodized Electrolytes
- Consume plenty of non-iodized, unbleached salt while on carnivore and ketosis to replace lost electrolytes.
- Aim for at least ~5 grams sodium daily and more if you get leg cramps or are active.
