In this episode of the Alpha Human Podcast, Lawrence Rosenberg welcomes back Jay Feldman from the Energy Balance Podcast to discuss the benefits of a high-carbohydrate diet on autoimmune conditions and liver health. Lawrence also shares his remarkable transformation after applying Jay’s recommendations, noting a dramatic improvement in his liver health, liver enzymes, and resolution of a brief appearance of fatty liver.
Additionally, Jay and Lawrence delve into scientific studies linking high sugar intake to inflammation and autoimmune disease and why a high-carb, bioenergetic approach is more effective and healthier in the long run that Keto or Carnivore diets for managing inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Their discussion underscores the importance of re-evaluating ketogenic, low-carb dietary choices and considering the broader implications of these nutritional strategies, highlighting the potential benefits of a well-balanced, high-carbohydrate diet for long-term health.
