Ian Clark, Founder of Activation, shares his thoughts on cooking oils

Key Takeaways:

• Most cooking oils are not good, heating these oils causes the medicinal ingredients to be damaged (adulterated) and may cause more harm to your body than good. 
• The best oils to use are high saturated fats like coconut oil, palm oil, different things from tallow or animal fats, butter if it does not burn
• Learn more about healthy vs unhealthy oils here

Ian Clark shares his thoughts and opinions on Cookware 

Key Takeaways:

• Cast iron can be used to make food taste better, but don't count on it for your iron supplementation
• Ian would avoid teflon as this may cause off-gassing
• Ceramic utensils, be careful! These may be mixed with other materials not disclosed
• Choose quality, this can become more expensive but will last longer

Founder of Activation Products, Ian Clark shares his take on Blueberries 

Key Takeaways:

• Enjoy in moderation (seasonally) to avoid insulin overload or free sugars in the body
• Shop wild and/or organic wild 

Ian Clark shares his thoughts on Almonds and your diet

Key Takeaways:

• One of the most popular products in the nut world
• Raw almonds are not something Ian suggests
• Almonds are best to be sprouted, find in your local health food store
• Always in moderation, choose organic and clean

Ian shares his opinions on Pork consumption 

Key Takeaways

• Aside from religious views, pork lends itself to some problematic things, example most pigs are raised in very poor atmospheres
• Try to stay away unless you know the farmer, know they are being fed clean and are harvested very carefully

Bread

Key Takeaways:

• Bread is a pleasure food
• Bread from North America may be bleached to make it white
• Bread may wreak havoc on your system overtime and/or or cause leaky gut

Ian shares his thoughts on Peanut Butter

Key Takeaways:

• It may be addictive
• Peanuts can be moldy
• When making peanut butter, oil may be taken out and added
• Instead, ground it yourself and/or eat foods that are really good for you and make your body feel great

Ian Clark shares his thoughts on bone broth 

Key Takeaways:

• The best quality being real bone broth, done in a slow cooker under proper pressure so it does not build any kind of botulism
• Bone broth can be wonderful! This provides collagens, different fats from marrow etc.
• May help with gut health, brain function
• Choose organic! From healthy grass-fed cows specifically and/or chicken feet

Ian talks, Nutella!

Key Takeaways:

• The problem being Nutella has sugar with a really healthy fat, try not to combine sugars with fats
• Fat alone is great, a healthy sugar or glycol nutrient alone is okay in moderation
• Nutella contains palm oil being a high saturated fat oil, this can be good for you, without so much sugar
