You Can’t Unknow

  • Vinnie and Dr. Unwin jump into a discussion about food, addictions, and how certain behaviors can lead to disease. (2:30)
    • Vinnie, however, has a problem blaming folks for getting addicted to foods, because food is necessary for survival, unlike, drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes.
    • Optimally, we should continuously stay away from foods that harm us. (9:00)
  • Dr. Unwin appreciates some of her earlier struggles because now she is more aware of what it takes to keep a healthy body and brain. (10:00)
    • They discuss “bonk” and how Vinnie learned about fueling with ketones.
    • She discusses brain health, ketones, and what happens in the brain with sugars. (15:00)
  • What seems to have been functional in early human evolution has gone awry because of our modern diets. (22:30)
    • They discuss food-like items that mess with body chemistry and how they affect hunger signals. (29:00)
  • The body really doesn’t require more than 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to function, and your body can make that on its own from your liver. (34:00)
  • They talk about CGMs and what a beneficial tool it is. (38:00)
    • Once you see what certain foods do to your body you can’t unknow!

Faulty Research and Faux Information

  • Vinnie shares the recently published article claiming that meat causes diabetes. (40:00)
    • They discuss how it’s a flawed study that doesn’t even make sense physiologically.
    • Diabetes is caused by carbs, and meat has no carbs.
  • Low-fat and vegan diets are misleading when it comes to health. (50:00)
  • Dr. Unwin is advocating for food addiction to be recognized as a medical problem. (53:00)
    • She hopes for health regulations based on the labeling and advertising of processed foods.
    • Next year she will be part of a food addiction conference where notable doctors and experts will be speaking.
  • You can follow her on X/Twitter @jen_unwin or Dr Jen Unwin-Fork in the Road to receive updates on the conference.
  • Vinnie mentions the challenge of the correct health information getting out there because of funding from high-finance sources. (55:00)
    • He’s excited about important conferences like Dr. Unwin mentions because they fight misinformation.
  • Dr Unwin gives a little more info on the conference: May 17, 2024 in Central London at the Royal College of General Practitioners.
    • Follow her on X for more updates and for ticket information when it becomes available.
