Your Body's Primary Source of Fuel
An Advanced Look Into Glucose, The Randle Cycle, and Your Genetics
Should you eat carbs or fats for fuel?
Everyone is different.
Some people do really well on keto, while others struggle and quit.
So what diet is right for you?
By the end of this email, you’ll know exactly what to do.
I’m going to give you an advanced look into glucose, carbohydrate & fat metabolism, the Randle Cycle, and your DNA. These things affect everything from your fat loss and energy levels to your hormonal balance and overall wellbeing.
Let’s begin.
Glucose is the best source of energy your body can use.
It’s so essential that your body has safeguards to prevent you from running out.
When you eat food (primarily carbohydrates) your body breaks it down into glucose. After, it enters into your blood stream, triggering the release of insulin—a hormone that’s produced by the pancreas to transport glucose into your cells.
But when you eat low carb, your body still needs glucose.
Without it… you’ll die.
So your body coverts proteins and fat into glucose through a process known as gluconeogenesis. However, this process (for some) is less efficient than simply turning carbs into glucose. It’s slower, requires more energy, and may result in muscle loss.
This is very important.
Because you need to pick between a high-carb or high-fat diet.
Never both.
This is because of a process called the Randle Cycle. This acts like a switch, controlling whether you use carbs or fats as energy. When you eat high-fat, your body switches to using fat for fuel. And when you eat high-carb, your body uses carbs for fuel.
However, eating high-carb and high-fat runs you into trouble.
Your body has trouble making the switch and your body isn’t able to burn the excess glucose for energy. Instead, it stays in your bloodstream—raising your blood sugar levels and putting you at risk for chronic diseases like diabetes.
You need to stick to one or the other.
Your genetics dictate what type of diet you should eat.
Specifically, these 3 genes:
Your AMY1 gene determines how well your body metabolizes carbs The TCF7L2 gene controls your insulin response—basically how well you make use of carbs.. And finally, the APOA2 gene controls how well you metabolize and convert fats into energy.
This combination of genes will tell you everything that you need to know.
And once you support your unique biology...
Your energy, vitality, and livelines will skyrocket.
You’ll sleep deeply and wake up feeling refreshed.
Fat loss will become effortless and your body will transform
Your gym performance, strength, and athleticism will progress rapidly.
Foods will digest flawlessly and your bloating will disappear.
You’ll notice significant changes in your mood and wellbeing.
If you’d like to find the perfect diet, you need to understand your DNA.
But let me tell you one thing right now…
Your perfect diet isn’t keto, carnivore, frutarian, or some other crazy diet camp. It’s a personal set of foods, nutrients, and supplements catered to your unique genetics.
In my Live To 120 Masterclass, I’ll find you exactly that.
I’ll test your genetics, analyze your results, and give you the blueprint to optimal health
