Hormesis

Watched an interesting video last night about hormesis and treating plants not as a fuel source, but as occasional medicine (Like small doses a couple times a week).How do you guys feel about that? I mean, peppers, turmeric, berries. All of these of course have toxins, like any other plant, but they also have beneficial phytonutrients. And perhaps, like working out, a small dose of stress from the plant defenses may be of some benefit due to hormesis?Any thoughts on this?

I enjoyed eating carnivore a lot, but like keto it impacted my strength and power very negatively, and additionally it messed up my digestion severely regardless of how much fat I ate. So in any case, I cut out the higher carb sources, and now I eat fatty meat, eggs, ghee and lard sparingly. I also eat vegetables with my eggs preworkout and potatoes with meat after training. In the evenings I eat like a carnivore to satiety. My carbs are somewhere around 100g daily. If this works it’s really the best of both worlds for me - I get enough carbs to fuel my training and I still get to eat like a carni...
