Did you know there are 7 foods you might be consuming that cause MORE inflammation and a shortened lifespan than smoking cigarettes!
I’m going to outline all 7 of these foods, and at the end I will share with you the most important supplement to take every single day to heal your metabolism and lower inflammation.
Let’s start with the first food…
Wheat
Dr William Davis in Wheat Belly showed research on what wheat bread does to spike blood sugar. I’ve had the honor of interviewing Dr William Davis on my Metabolic Freedom Podcast.
His research shows that two slices of wheat bread will spike blood sugar as much as a 12 ounce can of soda or a Snickers bar!
High levels of blood sugar inside the body will shorten your life. A study showed that an A1C of 7.5% or higher will take 100 days off your life each year it’s at that level. This means, if it remains at this level for 15 years, you lose 4 years off your lifespan!
It’s not only the glucose spike from wheat that’s an issue…
Most wheat has been sprayed with glyphosate. Glyphosate is a nasty pesticide that chelates minerals from your body, and causes leaky gut.
What is a leaky gut?
This happens when your mucosal barrier is inflamed to the point where your tight junctions rip open, allowing undigested food particles into your bloodstream.
Yes, essentially this means you have poop particles floating around in your blood!
This has detrimental effects on your mitochondria health too. Most health experts would agree that the key to aging gracefully, having energy and burning fat; is directly linked to how healthy your mitochondria are.
Your mitochondria uses two primary sources for energy production.. Amino acids, and minerals. Your body can make amino acids, and you can get it from quality protein. However, your body does not make minerals. You have to get it from your diet. If you are getting enough minerals from your diet, but eating wheat, this chelates minerals away from your mitochondria.
What does this mean for you?
You become fatigued, and you gain weight.
The wheat in the United States has also been hybridized to become a dwarf wheat. Our metabolism does not process this dwarf wheat efficiently, which impacts our metabolic health.
Additionally, MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff has shown with her studies that glyphosate pushes toxic heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum, deeper into your tissue and brain! Yikes.
Their research has also shown strong correlations between the application of glyphosate, and diseases such as diabetes, Alzeihmer’s, dementia, and more.
Here is a list of foods that contain wheat…
-
Bread crumbs
-
Bulgur
-
Couscous

Great alternatives to wheat are the following…
-
Cassava flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Rice flour
-
Tapioca flour
A quick word of caution, other foods high in glyphosate include corn, soy and coffee!
Farmed Fish is the next food that destroys your health…
Most farmed fish are fed GMO corn, soybean, canola oil, wheat and other animal byproducts.
Farmed fish is naturally gray, so the fish farmers add a pink dye to change its color to look more “natural”.
Farmed fish also contain high amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) which are carcinogenic, and antibiotics which destroy your healthy gut flora.
Get wild caught fish. Remember this too, the smaller the fish, the less toxins. Most big fish (tuna, swordfish, etc) have a higher concentration of toxins.
The safest wild caught fish option is the S.M.A.S.H. acronym.
Sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon, and herring.
I personally get my seafood and meats from Wild Pasture’s. They only source their food from high quality farmers using regenerative farming, and wild caught seafood. You can get a special deal with them heading to http://www.ketokampmeat.com
Next we have industrialized seed oils, also called vegetable oil.
Other names for these toxic fats include linoleic acid, omega 6 fats and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
It’s not that all omega 6 fats and seed oils are bad for you, it’s the processing of them that makes them so inflammatory.
The reason they are called polyunsaturated fats is because the chemical structure has “many” double bonds. This is what the word “poly” stands for. The more chemical bonds a fat has, the more aggressive it attracts oxygen, and the faster it oxidizes.
Think of an apple you bite into and leave on the counter. After a few hours, it turns brown. This is oxidation and exactly what is happening to your cells.
They process these unstable fats at high heat which makes the fat go rancid and stink. So they add chemical agents and bleach to hide the smell and change the color.
When I interviewed Dr Cate Shanahan on my Metabolic Freedom podcast, I asked her what was worse… smoking, sugar or these bad fats.
She said it’s easily the vegetable oils.
This is because the oxidized linoleic acid stays in your body for years. It’s estimated that the half life of linoleic acid inside your body is 680 days!
Here is a list of the 9 fats you want to avoid…
-
Corn oil (also called rapeseed oil in the UK)
-
Canola oil
-
Cottonseed oil
-
Sunflower oil
-
Safflower oil
-
Soybean oil
-
Grapeseed oil
-
Rice Bran Oil
-
Refined Peanut Oil
-
Fish oil
Swap them for saturated and monounsaturated fats.
The Best Fats For Cooking at High Temps Are The Following Animal Fats:
-
Butter
-
Ghee
-
Beef Tallow
-
Duck Fat
-
Lard (non hydrogenated from pastured pigs)
The Best Fats For Salad Dressings, Drips & Low Heat Cooking Are The Following Fruit Based Fats:
-
Coconut Oil
-
Avocado Oil
-

Fruit juice and excessive fruits.
These are mitochondrial poison!
I have interviewed Dr David Perlmutter and Dr Richard Johnson on the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, all about the topic of fructose as it relates to increased uric acid levels and disease.
People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
There’s a relationship between these diseases and uric acid.
Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance.
Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism
We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors.
We don't hibernate for six months. We don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes.
Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid.
Your Body Can’t Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time
Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time.
When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do.
When fructose is delivered in the context of fiber, it slows the absorption.
Vitamin C aids in uric acid excretion.
Most common way to overdo fructose consumption is by drinking fruit juice.
This is the leading cause of gout.
Dr Richard Johnson’s book Nature Wants Us To Be Fat pointed out that animals in the wild will eat a bunch of fruit right before hibernation to pack on as much fat as possible.
90% of fructose is metabolized by the liver. Overtime, the liver becomes fatty. This leads to insulin resistance, then diabetes, and eventually cancer and heart disease.
Avoid fruit juice. Limit or avoid fruit in general until you’ve restored your metabolism, then you can bring fruit back in moderation.
Artificial sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners can disrupt your gut microbiome and increase your hunger.
Studies suggest that artificial sweeteners are not properly metabolized inside of the body, and for some, it can increase insulin levels.
The artificial sweeteners to avoid are…
-
Sucralose (Splenda) May 2023 study showed sucralose caused DNA damage. Geno toxic!
-
Aspartame
-
Acesulfame potassium (Ace K)
Replace these with the following safe and healthy sugar alternatives…
-
Stevia
-
Monk Fruit
-
Allulose
-
Xylitol
-
Erythritol
-
Raw Honey (limited)

Beer & Wine
Alcohol is a poison to the body, the liver needs to detox it. Your metabolism will prioritize getting rid of alcohol over fat burning and other important detoxification processes. Each sip of alcohol will kill brain cells.
The worst offenders are beer and wine.
According to Dr Zach Bush, the avg California wine has 64 herbicides & pesticides.
There are 76 additives approved by the FDA for the use in winemaking, including toxins like dimethyl dicarbonate. Many of the most popular wines are full of additives and high in sugar, with alcohol levels that have continued to increase over the last few decades.
As we discussed, glyphosate wrecks our health by creating leaky gut.
Alcohol stimulates appetite and decreases your testosterone levels for up to 24 hours and increases estrogen by 300%. The infamous “beer belly” is really just an “estrogen belly.” Biochemically, the higher your level of estrogen is, the more readily you absorb alcohol, but the slower you break it down.
If you choose to drink alcohol, clear liquors are your best option.
This includes..
-
Whiskey
-
Tequila
-
Vodka
If you choose to drink wine, go with a European wine, or even better, go with an organic biodynamic wine low in sugar such as Dry Farm Wines.

Here is a biohacking protocol to help you metabolize alcohol faster so it does less damage…
-
Drink plenty of water ahead of time, and during your social occasion
-

Eat asparagus. Asparagus officinalis, a popular vegetable, is consumed widely and has long been used as an herbal medicine to several diseases. Asparagus officinalis is applied for alleviating hangover and protecting liver cells from alcohol toxic. The dietary fiber and flavonoids of Asparagus officinalis improved the plasma lipid profile and reduced liver oxidative damage in hypercholesterolemia mice model [81]. Kim et al. [82] analyzed the constituents of the young shoots and the leaves of asparagus, the result showed that the amino acid and inorganic mineral contents were higher in leave than in shoots. They also demonstrated that cellular toxicity induced by alcohol was relieved after treatment with the extracts of Asparagus officinalis leave and shoots. Additionally, the activities of two key enzymes that metabolize alcohol, ADH and ALDH, increased after treatment of leaf and shoot extracts [82]. As a result, Asparagus officinalis might be used as a natural product to prevent and treat hangover through increasing alcohol metabolism by upregulating the activities of ADH and ALDH.

Stop consuming bad thoughts. I know this is not a food but your thoughts are VERY powerful. World renowned cell biologist Dr Bruce Lipton has proven that your thoughts are a frequency which has the ability to communicate with your cells!
Meaning, a negative, hateful, toxic thought; signals to your DNA to produce inflammatory proteins. This shortens the protective layer around your DNA called telomeres, and ages you faster.
The great news is that a loving, abundant, grateful thought also sends signals to your DNA; this signal communicates with your DNA to produce anti-inflammatory proteins which lengthens your telomeres and protects your DNA from damage.
Studies show the average person has 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day! They estimate that ninety percent of our daily thoughts are the same thoughts from yesterday, and eighty five percent of them are negative thoughts.
Stinkin’ Thinkin’! If your thinking is stinking your health is shrinking!
Vitamin G is the antidote here.
Dr Joe Dispenza has shown Vitamin G helps the body produce 1,200 chemicals instantaneously. These include dopamine, GABA, serotonin, oxytocin, IGA, and more.
Studies show people who take Vitamin G have lower A1C levels, better blood pressure, and longer lives.
Where can you purchase Vitamin G?
Unfortunately, you cannot buy it.
Vitamin G is the practice of GRATITUDE.
Vitamin G rewires a part of your brain called the reticular activating system, which helps you see more things to be grateful for.
This is a universal law, what you feed energy to, expands. Meaning, what you appreciate, appreciates!
