This episode is sponsored by Bon Charge: Use code QUANTUMPOD to save at Bon Charge - https://boncharge.com/?rfsn=7983798.a28419This week, we’re sharing why we stopped fearing plants—and what the conversation around food and health really needs right now. With all the online noise about fruit, fiber, and even apples (yes, apples!), we wanted to zoom out and talk about hormesis—the concept that small, natural stressors like polyphenols, sunlight, cold exposure, and fasting can actually make us more resilient. But it all depends on context, capacity, and balance. We dive into how to know if a stressor is helping or harming, what we’ve changed in our own approach to diet, and why fear-based nutrition just isn’t it anymore. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting advice online, this one’s for you.(00:05:18) Hormetic Stressors: Polyphenols and Cellular Adaptation(00:09:07) Enhancing Health Through Gut Microbiome Nutrition(00:11:21) Fear-Based Food Messaging and Disordered Eating(00:12:42) Food Quality and Glyphosate Exposure Awareness(00:19:36) Prioritizing High-Quality Water While Traveling(00:37:34) Optimal Apple Consumption Timing for Health Benefits(00:42:13) Personalized Approaches to Blood Sugar Management(00:47:07) Beliefs Influence Metabolic Responses to Food(00:49:11) Building a Personalized Health Toolbox for EmpowermentSarah's AppApple - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycircadianapp/id6538168795?platform=iphoneAndroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.appCode SarahK for 3 weeks free on Android & 1 month free on AppleThis video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!--------------------------------------------Subscribe to the Quantum Conversations Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6izLpb6HnQGb3Y5v9GFf14?si=c65de8de097f49e5Connect with Sarah:Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!
