Mechanisms for the Obsessed
Why does removing plants do anything? The biology, briefly.
Pro
Topics
What this module covers
- 01Antigen load and intestinal permeability
- 02Insulin signaling and metabolic flexibility
- 03Polyphenol hormesis vs. polyphenol noise
- 04Gut microbiome shifts (and why diversity ≠ health)
- 05Mitochondrial biogenesis and fat oxidation
Learning objectives
By the end you'll be able to
- L01Sketch the antigen-load / leaky-gut pathway and its evidence base.
- L02Explain insulin signaling restoration without hand-waving.
- L03Critique the 'microbiome diversity' narrative.
Expected takeaways
What you should walk away believing
- →Antigen removal + insulin restoration explain a lot of the wins.
- →Microbiome diversity is a noisy proxy, not an outcome.
- →Polyphenols are not vitamins. They're stress signals — sometimes useful.
