Andrew Fix — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 21:28:23 +0000

“Everything will be impacted by what we put in our bodies,” explains host Dr. Andrew. Like sleep and exercise, diet is crucial to peak performance. As a result, Dr. Andrew gives helpful insight into how to use food to optimize your health.

The key to nutrition is avoiding processed foods made with many ingredients. Instead, look for natural foods that are not filled with added sugar, such as fruit, meat, or vegetables. Ultimately, limiting sugary snacks and overeating will allow you to prevent inflammation in the body and help you better utilize the nutrients you’re taking in.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a straightforward conversation on nutrition. Learn more about how food impacts the body, the importance of protein, and the benefits of mindful eating.

Quotes

• “What we put in our mouths is extremely important in determining or dictating what we can expect from our body, whether it’s from a performance standpoint, or just how you feel, what type of energy levels you have, how your skin feels, nails, hair. Everything will be impacted by what we put in our bodies.” (2:29-2:53 | Andrew)

• “Protein is essential for satisfying or satiating us from an appetite standpoint. Protein digests slowly in our system, making you feel full for longer.” (8:08-8:19 | Andrew)

• “We recommend eating until you’re satisfied, not until you’re full because there’s a slight delay in when we put food into our mouth.” (16:02-16:11 | Andrew)

• “Eat real food. Shop the perimeter of the grocery stores, or the farmer’s markets, or wherever you’re going, and try to eat real food as much as possible.” (21:33-21:44 | Andrew)

• “Eat until you’re satisfied, not really full, and you will feel so much better. And your body will thank you for it.” (22:41-22:50 | Andrew)

“Functional Medicine gets to the root cause of illness,” explains Dr. Jamie Kyei-Frimpong, Medical Director of Total Vitality Colorado. A retired competitive marathon and ultra-runner, Dr. Jamie’s main passion has always been fitness. Through her own health journey, Dr. Jamie discovered functional medicine, leading her to open Total Vitality.

Due to overtraining, Dr. Jaimie started to notice that she was experiencing a slew of health issues, including weight gain and inflammation. This experience led her to seek a more holistic approach, which allowed her to discover the root of her underlying issues. Now, Dr. Jaimie opened Total Vitality, where she helps others balance their hormones and improve their life.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a fascinating conversation on functional medicine. Learn more about the difference between functional medicine and going to your doctor, the power of peptides, and why providers should lead by example through a healthy lifestyle.

Quotes

• “Functional Medicine gets to the root cause of illness.” (4:31-4:34| Dr. Jamie)

• “I think it’s great when we do something where we’ve had a personal experience because it drives our passion, but it also helps us relate to our patients. I don’t like to give recommendations for things unless I’ve tried them.” (18:32-18:46 | Dr. Jamie)

• “There are always choices. And I think the biggest thing is advocating for yourself because that’s where people get stuck in the medical system. (44:24-44:33 | Dr. Jamie)

• “When you’re doing functional medicine, every case is different.” (47:33-47:37 | Dr. Jamie)

• “Everything is about trying something and building from there with lifting, changing your diet, anything. It’s just about taking those baby steps. And you’ll never learn if you don’t work on implementing it into your life.” (57:05-57:21 | Dr. Jamie)
