Episode 2010 – On this Wednesday episode, we play a Best Of, featuring Nina Teicholz from mid-2021. Vinnie and Nina talk Nina’s work, combatting a nation of sick people, “science” in nutrition, social media gatekeeping, saturated fats, the environment and cows, and more.
A NATION OF SICK PEOPLE
- We are a nation of sick people.
- Nina wanted to find out why.

- It’s hard to combat this when there’s so much censoring of the keto community.
SATURATED FATS
- We’ve come to demonize sat fats.
- However, the science largely doesn’t support this.
- A lot of Nina’s work focuses on this.
- So many of the scientists who have debunked the BS have not received the acclaim they should.
