Upsides and Downsides

• Dr. Nadir Ali has been keeping a streak of riding his bike to work. (3:30)
  • He sees benefits through managing food addiction with streaks. (7:00)
  • They discuss overdoing exercise, with no rest.
  • Some people have a fear of not getting back into it if they miss a day.
  • Dr Nadir has a general rule that streaks can be beneficial as long as its not at the detriment of something else.
• Vinnie asks Nadir’s opinion about Allulose & GLP-1 agonists. (13:00)
  • Naidir has a lot of clinical experience, so he sees things on a day-to-day basis.
  • Yes, there are benefits for some people, but there are a lot of downsides, too.
  • Vinnie challenges some aspects of using a GLP-1. (24:00)
  • Nadir agrees that it’s only effective if a person does low-carb and intermittent fasting, (which is something Vinnie recommends without having to use the drug anyway.) (28:00)

Additional Concerns

• There are upsides and downsides at certain levels of autophagy. (31:00)
  • Too long of an extended fast can affect muscles.
• Vinnie asks Nadir about a low-carb, high fat being effective for weight loss and other metabolic issues. (36:00)
  • There are instances where it may not be quite as effective.
• Are seed oils a detriment to health?
  • They become a part of your cell membranes and do damage. (43:00)
  • He gives an example of how it affects the retina.
  • One single benefit you can do is to get seed oils out of your diet.

• Binge eating – what can people do to help themselves? (53:00) 
  • Nadir has been looking into the pleasure centers of the brain in order to understand binge eating.
  • Dopamine is the driver for the craving or behavior—but it doesn’t really have much to do with the pleasure.
    • In fact, as dopamine goes up, pleasure can actually decrease.
