Key Moments
Body temperature and pulse as free metabolic health indicators
Jayton Miller explains how tracking body temperature and pulse provides a free, accessible way to assess metabolic health without expensive functional medicine tests.
"Jayton talks about why you want to track your body temperature and pulse, especially when you're just getting into this. He shares his thoughts on polyunsaturated fatty acids, like omega-3, and his thoughts on cod liver oil."
Eating before bed prevents middle-of-night cortisol waking
Miller discusses the common problem of waking between midnight and 4 AM, which is often caused by a cortisol spike from low blood sugar. Eating before bed, especially foods that sustain glycogen, can remedy this.
"He talks about if you're waking up at night between midnight and 4 a.m. what you can do to remedy that. His thoughts about coffee, what to do if someone doesn't have an appetite."
Balanced nutrition over dogmatic health camps
Matt Blackburn and Jayton Miller emphasize the importance of balanced, practical nutrition information over the dogmatism found in different health camps, discussing PUFA reduction, vitamin A, and eating throughout the day.
"On my social media platforms, I share a mixture of really in-depth, complicated, nuanced stuff that only people deep in the health world that nerd out about it would know about. But I also like to provide basic information for people that are just getting into it"
