November 4. 2025: Combined Book Club and Sugar Shift Challenge Call (I Never Thought of it That Way)

Описание: The meeting focused on the increasing societal siloing and polarization in political and health discussions, which Chris, Martha Carlin, and Toby Lime discussed with examples related to political and dietary assumptions. Jen St. Clair, Chris, and Martha Carlin emphasized the importance of curiosity to avoid assumptions, with Chris connecting this to viewing people as "mysteries," while Martha Carlin introduced the "puncture phenomenon" to question the reliability of data from common measuring tools like CGMs. Martha Carlin and Mahalene Louis explored how collective anxiety and societal sorting stem from feelings of inauthenticity and focusing on "separation, lack, limitation, fear," which Mahalene Louis countered by focusing on "love" and introducing the "life-changing" practice of eating in the dark. Toby Lime inquired about muscle recovery, leading Martha Carlin to suggest their Bacillus DE11 strain and recommend Dr. Ben Bocchino’s "Smart Plan" workout, while Sharon Sageman highlighted the importance of boron. Martha Carlin also introduced a topical mineral product, "reconstruct," for joints, which led to a discussion about skin permeability with Sharon Sageman and the dangers of surfactants in skincare and cleaning products, an area Chris suggested Martha Carlin present on in the future.
