Episode 2681- Vinnie Tortorich welcomes dietitian Michelle Hurn, and they discuss disrupting Big Food, lobbying for truth, and the downsides of shortcuts.
Lobbying for Truth
- Michelle Hurn has been a Registered Dietitian for years, but she challenges the current nutrition guidelines. (2:00)
- Early nutrition guidelines were established by Seventh-day Adventists to eliminate the eating of meat.
- The facts are lined up and vetted in FAT: a documentary. (6:30)
- Vinnie curates knowledge of other experts on his show. (11:30)
- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has caused some disruption to the messaging; however, as long as Big Pharma and Big Food are allowed to lobby, there won’t likely be much change.
- Lobbying affects both sides of the aisle, and changes have not been made. (18:00)
- It’s part of what has been driving the decrease in metabolic health of our society. (20:00)
- Being a registered dietician is a challenge; positions in hospitals and schools pay less than half of what Big Food will pay. (22:00)
- Vinnie shares the story (and misconception) behind “fat burns in the flames of carbohydrates.” (28:00)
- Michelle shares her story of how she discovered what she had learned was wrong. (34:00)
- Her health had deteriorated, and she became very ill.
- It was when she learned about low-carb that she regained her health.
- Vinnie shares how he figured out how to fuel himself with fat for his ultra races. (40:00)
- Michelle is a marathon runner and made discoveries of her own, including high-fat/low-carb to fuel her body. (45:00)
The Downsides of Shortcuts
- GLP-1s are all the rage, but nothing in biochemistry is free of consequences. (51:00)
- You can’t affect any one issue in isolation. There are downsides to shortcuts.
- The side effects are a serious concern.
- Suppressing ghrelin can suppress hunger, but that means it also suppresses autophagy, which is your body’s way of cleaning toxins from its cells. (52:00)
- They discuss other implications associated with GLP-1s, like loss of muscle tissue.
- Michelle and Vinnie have both helped numerous people just through the low-carb lifestyle approach alone. (57:00)
- Those changes alone have gotten people off certain medications and reversed diabetes.
