For years, I swore by intermittent fasting. I loved the simplicity and the metabolic results, until I realised it wasn't serving my biology anymore, especially as an athlete and a woman.While fasting is a powerful tool for reversing insulin resistance and improving autophagy, there is a massive difference between a clinical "fasting window" and accidental "over-fasting". Today, I’m breaking down the technical nuance of why women respond differently to calorie restriction, how it impacts the thyroid and reproductive signalling, and why I shifted my routine to fuel for performance over rigid schedules.Got a question you want answer in the next episode?

I followed every "healthy" eating rule the experts gave us: I cut back on red meat, limited my salt, and swapped butter for margarine. The result? My energy crashed, my hormones were all over the place, and I looked as horrible as I felt.Today, I’m walking you through why traditional nutrition advice often leads to chronic fatigue and insulin resistance. We are moving beyond the "low-fat" propaganda of the 80s to look at why your body actually needs saturated fat, the technical truth about dietary cholesterol, and why a "whole foods" framework beats a rigid diet every time.Today’s episode of Healthy Not Complicated is sponsored by Sodii.

Save 15% with code HCK15 (worldwide shipping) https://hckait.com/sodiielectrolytes In this episode I share the simple eating routine I personally follow to keep insulin low. This is not about complicated meal plans or strict dieting—it is about using a straightforward framework that keeps blood sugar stable, reduces cravings, and helps reverse insulin resistance.I explain why keeping insulin low matters, not just for people who already have insulin resistance, prediabetes, PCOS, or type 2 diabetes, but also as prevention for those who want to stay healthy long term. You will hear exactly what I eat in a day, how I time my meals, how I handle carbs, and why protein always comes first.I also talk about why protein is critical for muscle and insulin sensitivity, why fiber is helpful but not essential, and how meal timing makes a big difference in lowering insulin. You will learn how to make this routine practical, flexible, and sustainable without needing dozens of recipes or complicated rules.Timestamps00:00 Intro05:02 Why keeping insulin low matters11:05 Core principles20:48 A day of eating23:34 How I handle carbs27:16 Flexibility and mindset

In this episode, I break down the real truth about sodium, why it’s an essential electrolyte your body can’t function without, and why many people eating whole foods (especially low carb) might actually need more salt, not less.We’ll cover the history of how salt got its bad reputation, the difference between short-term blood pressure spikes and long-term effects (hint: exercise does the same thing), and Dr. James DiNicolantonio’s research on why sodium is crucial for health. You’ll learn the signs of low sodium, how to choose the best type of salt, and when supplementing with electrolytes can help you perform and feel your best.Whether you’re an athlete, someone who eats low carb, or just curious about your health, this deep dive into sodium will change how you think about this misunderstood mineral.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:21 Why salt was demonised04:24 Short and long-term effects of salt05:46 Sodium is an essential electrolyte06:43 Sodium in the Standard American Diet09:11 What happens if you have too much salt?11:59 The different types of salt (sea salt vs table salt)12:58 Who should limit salt?14:24 Keto flu explained

In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happens when you’re not eating enough protein in your 40s and beyond.
