# 529 - New Study: Cheese Could Lower Cholesterol?! (You Read That Right)
A new study has suggested that individuals consuming whole cheese, experienced lower levels of LDL cholesterol compared to individuals who consumed deconstructed cheese which affects the cheese matrix (the network of proteins of fat and minerals made during the cheese manufaturing process) and alters the bioavailability of beneficial fats in the cheese. There may also be a difference between how men and women respond to cheese consumption. This study also challenges the historical view that all saturated fat consumption is harmful. In this episode I discuss what cholesterol is, HDL , LDL and the link between high cholesterol and cardiac health.

# 527 - What happens when you fast for 3 days
What happens in the body when you fast for 3 days is jawdropping. In this episode I detail hour by hour exactly what happens inside your body from the moment you take your last bite of food, and in doing so I highlight what the benefits of doing a brief fast like this are to your health. We talk about your glucose, insulin, and glycogen levels and how they are affected by your fast, plus when and how fat breakdown starts to occur. We introduce the term ketosis where in response to your fast your liver converts fatty acids into ketone bodies for fuel. After 12 hours glycogen reserves are spent. We hear about the cell cleaning process called autophagy which is one of the main benefits of fasting, and this kicks in between hours 18 to 24 of fasting. Mental clarity appears to be one of the additional benefits of fasting too, while insulin sensitivity is also enhanced, which will allow your cells to handle glucose more efficiently once you resume eating. After 36 hours a regenerative switch flips in your immune system as old white blood cells are broken down. Damaged mitochiondria are cleared out improving cellular efficiency. Ketone production reaches a peak and IgF-1 a growth factor is suppressed, authophagy winds down. Despite all these changes arising from a brief fast, its not true to suggest that fasting will reset your digestive system as some influencers have claimed. Fasting will reduce inflammation and improve your lipid profile and more. A short term fast is NOT a fat loss tool, nor is its a detox, nor will it help with gut issues such as IBS. Any fast should be done in consultation with a medical professional especially if you have any history of disordered eating.

# 526 - Is adrenal fatigue a scam ?
Are you being misled about the subject of 'adrenal fatigue' ? in recent years various wellness influencers have pushed the notion that adrenal fatigue is a real condition with symptoms such as tiredness, brain fog and cravings for salty foods. The problem is the mainstream medical community don't recognise adrenal fatigue as a legitimate medical condition. Adrenal insufficiency is however a well documented and serious disorder but this should not be confused with adrenal fatigue. In this episode we examine what the adrenal glands actually are, the HPA axis, and role that the stress hormones cortisol plays. We look at the scientific evidence that dispel the myth of the adrenal fatigue condition. That is not to say that people dont have symptoms (which they attribute to adrenal fatigue thyroid). Their symptoms are very real but often stem from legitimate disorders such as thyorid disorders, anxiety disorders and sleep disorders.
