Q&A Round Table with Marty Kendall, Matty Lansdown & Karen Martel

In part 2 of my round table with Maty and Marty, we answer listeners' questions.

  • Does cholesterol level correlate with insulin and blood glucose level. If yes - why, what is a physiological explanation. If not, again why? 
  •  Do I have to dial in macros to have success with DDF?
  •  I'm surgically menopausal (gees back in 2015) why can't I have any good carbs? I can only lose the weight/fat eating a lion diet.
  • How to help the rise in morning blood glucose from a cortisol release?
  •  In reference to changing hormones (for women), to match your other half, to build a better relationship sexually, is there a negative result of "tweaking" hormones to do these adjustments vs letting the body's hormones adjust naturally on their own? 
  • General best practices for surgical menopause HRT with family history of breast cancer and personal history of PCOS.
  • Should everyone avoid gluten? 
  • Cold immersion for women. Pro's & Con's?
  • Is menopause really going to be the death sentence everyone makes it sound like? 
  • Will the vaccine affect my weight loss? 
  • Is the carnivore diet the holy grail of weight loss
