Interesting read from Belinda Fettke Research who is an excellent storyteller. It reminds me of some people’s need to make money out of people who are on a quest to be healthier.

The search for the Fountain of Youth appears again and again in legend because it speaks to something deeply human. Our fear of aging and with it, the loss of youthful beauty, strength and vitality. But perhaps our biggest fear, in today’s society, is losing independence as we age and with it, our sense of relevance.

Across centuries, we’ve tried everything. Elixirs and pilgrimages. Spiritual quests and strict diets. And now, high-tech genetic interventions and wellness retreat promises. Each era dresses that same desire in new language: hoping that maybe, just maybe, we can slow down time and possibly, even make it stand still.

What we really search for is the continuity of a life that still feels full, capable, and held.

This longing is the emotional soil from which the Blue Zones story first grew.

Very insightful post from Jessica Turton - Dietitian & Nutritionist. Learning what satiety on a real food diet looks like for you is important.

Eating “to satiety” isn’t about eating until your stomach feels full.

It’s about eating enough of the right balance of real, nutrient-dense foods to satisfy physical, physiological, emotional and mental drives to eat.

Two people of the same size, age and activity level can need very different amounts of food to reach true satiety.

For example, someone with a history of binge eating may reach physical fullness quickly - but still feel unsatisfied. That doesn’t mean they lack willpower. It often means their body and brain need more calories, nutrients, or consistency to feel safe, nourished and settled.

This is also where food quality matters. 👇

Ultra-processed foods are designed to override satiety signals. They often drive rapid spikes in blood glucose and insulin, which can reduce the amount of usable energy available to the body. When energy availability drops, hunger signals stay switched on - making it extremely challenging to tune into satiety.

So when I talk about eating to satiety, I’m talking about real food - meals with adequate calories and nutrients that help to support stable blood glucose levels and increase energy availability.

Satiety isn’t a volume game.
It’s a nourishment game.

And for many people, learning what true satiety feels like is essential for supporting healthy weight management and healing their relationship with food. 🤍

Excellent point from Primal Health Coach Institute. Insulin is your energy storage hormone. While ever it is high your body is not releasing any energy from storage. This is why real food, lower carb diets see great results.

"The bottom line is that you will not lose fat effectively with exercise-driven weight-loss efforts unless your eating habits moderate insulin production." - Mark Sisson, The Primal Blueprint

Fat loss is about more than exercise; it hinges on moderating insulin with smart eating. 🌟 By following Primal eating principles—like focusing on grass-fed and pastured meats, healthy fats, and lots of veggies—we can manage insulin levels and fuel fat loss. 🥩🥑🥦

Have you felt the impact of eating to moderate insulin, such as increased energy or weight loss?

Great information from Dr. William Davis about the clues you see in your bloods that show your metabolic health.

I’ve lately been discussing the crucial importance of abdominal visceral fat, i.e., stored fat encircling abdominal organs that is the source of so many health problems. Having a protuberant abdomen can be a sign of this excess fat, but it can also occur with a flat tummy. Excess abdominal viscera...
