Structural Performance Podcast

In episode #18, I discuss the possibility that the foods you are eating are disrupting your gut biome, thereby driving patterns of insomnia. Additionally, I explore the how the common use of stimulants and other common foods disrupt the stability of your blood sugar, hormones, and sleep. Common caffeinated stimulants: Coffee, tea, chocolate, caffeinated sodas, energy drinks Common blood sugar disruptors: Too much carbohydrate at dinner Insufficient Protein at dinner Insufficient Fat at dinner Food sensitivities and allergies Foods that foster dysbiosis (negatively impacting gut bacteria associated with disease, etc) High glycemic foods: http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/grass-fed-meat-education/food-analysis-gi-gl-fat-ratio-nutrient-load-and-inflammation Recent study showing shift in gut biome associated with high fat, high sugar diet and circadian rhythm shift: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0097500
