The discussion emphasises the significance of feeling well and understanding individual health rather than solely relying on numbers and tests. Takeaways Folate is crucial for breaking down homocysteine into methionine. How you feel is more important than just lab numbers. Humans can potentially live to 120 years with the right diet. Dietary sources of nutrients are vital, especially organ meats. Supplements should not replace real food; real nutrition comes first. Histamine intolerance can be managed by dietary adjustments. Thyroid health may require specific supplements like iodine and selenium. Cholesterol is essential for cell formation and nutrient absorption.

In this conversation, Zoë Harcombe and Stephen Thomas discuss the evolution of dietary guidelines, the importance of understanding risk in health studies, the role of fiber in our diet, and the myths surrounding calorie counting. They emphasize the need for individuals to educate themselves about their health and nutrition, challenging conventional wisdom and advocating for a more informed approach to diet and lifestyle choices.

Understanding absolute vs. relative risk is crucial in health studies. Fiber is essentially indigestible and not necessary for our diet. There are no essential carbohydrates, unlike fats and proteins. The narrative around fiber is used to justify high carbohydrate intake. Fighting the misconception of fiber is essential for health. Believing in calorie counting can lead to poor health outcomes. Interpretation of health data is often more important than the data itself. Education is key to making informed dietary choices.

Prior to taking on his current role at Asigra, where he oversees global revenue and shapes the sales and customer success strategy, he was the Chief Revenue Officer at RiskOptics (formerly Reciprocity). Stephen's leadership experience extends to companies like Arcserve, Armor, Cyberbit, and Symantec.  A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, he has further honed his skills as a Certified LEANSTACK Coach, CIPP, and CISSP. Asigra is launching a new SaaS management tool in April, but partners can join their beta program now and receive a $2,500 service credit to work with. The product site is https://saasassured.com. Look for the Insider Circle link to join their Beta program. You can join now, so you'll be set for the April 1st launch. Many partners are missing out on revenue by not offering their clients the ability to back up all their SAAS applications (Hubspot, QuickBooks, etc.). Clients know they need to do this. they might even assume you're doing it. And if you're not, someone else might be. That means another vendor is already approved to be paid by them for IT services. That mean's there's another IT consultant in your client's office! Transparency note: Asigra was a sponsor for the 2023 SMB Online Conference. — Our upcoming events: AUSTIN TX – MASTERMIND LIVE (March 28-29th) http://bit.ly/kernanmastermind https://kernanconsulting-mastermind.mykajabi.com/mastermind-event Our Social Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-kernan-varcoach/ https://www.facebook.com/james.kernan https://www.facebook.com/karlpalachuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlpalachuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/amybabinchak/ https://www.facebook.com/amy.babinchak/
