GLUTEN & YOUR HEALTH

  • This episode is jam-packed with great information about how gluten and carbs affect brain health and function!
  • Vinnie and Anna chat for a bit about a variety of things, then welcome Dr. David Perlmutter to the show. (18:05)
  • Dr. David Perlmutter is the author of the bestseller “Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar–Your Brain’s Silent Killers.” It’s all about gluten and your health.
  • Gluten sensitivity may relate to 30-40% of all people walking the planet who have a significant inflammatory response when they consume this protein found in wheat, barley, and rye called gluten. (22:40)
  • Gluten induces inflammation and inflammation is the cornerstone of everything you don’t want to get, like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and even cancer. (23:30)
  • Your risk of developing type 1 diabetes if you have celiac disease is increased by about 300%. (23:50)
  • Gluten sensitivity is an issue that goes far beyond a gut and upset stomach; it can cause joint pain, skin issues, and brain-related problems like depression and dementia, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive activity, and even schizophrenia. (24:40)
  • People are misled that once they go gluten-free they’re going to lose a lot of weight, which isn’t true. Gluten-free food still has carbohydrates. (26:35)
  • Fruit should be limited as well; Dr. Perlmutter and Vinnie suggest what is reasonable, as fruit is a very concentrated form of sugar. (26:45) 

SATURATED FATS AS SUPER FUEL

  • We desperately need saturated fat; as a result, we have to revise the whole notion that fat is bad for you. (28:00
  • Humans have been on a high-fat, low-carb, gluten-free diet for about two million years and it served us very well until the government decided to tell us that we need to go on a low-fat diet. (28:20)
  • There’s this bizarre notion that you need to have your whole grains each day and it just isn’t true. (29:40)
  • In 1992 the US government said we should eat a low-fat or no-fat diet and within 10 years of that doctrine, the rate of diabetes rose by 300%. (30:50)
  • A recent study shows that saturated fat has no relevance when it comes to heart disease whatsoever. (31:20)
  • Egg substitutes are detrimental to health but whole eggs are extremely healthful. (34:00)
  • When it comes to dementia it’s all about the carbs, not cholesterol–the brain needs cholesterol to function. (36:00)
  • When people go gluten-free, cut out the carbs and reintroduce fat, we see breathtaking things: gaining back brain function, reducing issues with ADHD, losing weight, sleeping better, better libido, and less depression. (40:30)
  • Glycation is the combination of protein and sugar, which increases the production of free radicals and turns on inflammation, which is the cornerstone of brain degeneration. (41:10)
  • Dr. Perlmutter explains A1C; there is a perfect correlation between A1C levels and the risk of brain shrinkage and dementia. (42:00)
  • As much as 54% of Alzheimer’s cases in America could be avoided if people learned the impact of their lifestyle choices. (43:00)
  • They also chat a bit about medications, especially for kids with ADHD. (46:00)
    • They also chat about the relationship between doctors and drug companies.
