SUGARY SEASONINGS

BEST OF: Sugar & Brain Health with Dr. Georgia Ede – Episode 1942

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1942 – On this Saturday BEST OF show, Dr. Georgia Ede joins Vinnie Tortorich. The two talk biases, variables, epidemiological studies, the relationship between good nutrition, sugar and brain health, artificial sweeteners and more. 

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SUGAR AND BRAIN HEALTH

  • She went to medical school in Vermont.
  • Dr. Ede her residency at Harvard for four years.
  • Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat.
    • Not always financial bias.
    • Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar).
    • Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time.
  • There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health.
  • She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at .
  • Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy.
    • Fish and other meats.
    • Pretty extreme diet.
    • In ketosis constantly.
  • Insulin has to cross into the brain.
    • Your brain can become insulin resistant.
    • Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can’t be broken down.
    • Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimer’s.
  • She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can’t really tell the difference.
    • They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels.
  • Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc. 
    • Stimulant is good!
    • Maybe this is why Vinnie does so well with coffee.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GETTING HEALTHY WITH FOOD

  • Robyn’s husband turned her on to this way of eating.
  • Her husband, Matt, found NSNG® through the Carolla show.
  • When Robyn was around 40, the doctor told her she’d have to go on statins. She knew enough about Vinnie to know she could probably fix this, and asked her doctor for six months to figure things out.
    • Her numbers increased impressively and she didn’t have to start statins!
  • Robyn, at one point, weighed 150 lbs at 5’1″.
    • Now, she weighs 100 lbs.
    • Robyn is 44!
    • She looks 10 years younger, and feels younger, too!
  • Her husband, Matt, has lost around 75 lbs.
    • He is 5’9″ and 43 years old.
  • The two took the bull by the horns and got their health under their control!
  • For Robyn, she was on several drugs that affected her daily life.
    • Now, she’s so very much better.
    • The medications made it difficult to live day to day.

The Importance of Research with Dr. Ken Berry – Episode 1932

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1932 –  On this Saturday BEST OF show, Dr. Ken Berry joins Vinnie, and the two discuss Ken’s career, keto crotch, unfounded anti-keto claims, the importance of research, Type 2 diabetes, blind doctor-patient trust, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. KEN BERRY

THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

  • Dr. Berry completely disputes the keto crotch thing.
    • If anything, keto diet will help smells down there.
    • This is a smear campaign because keto is gaining traction.
    • Barilla (pasta company) was involved with this.
  • Anti-keto articles have links for ‘studies’ that don’t actually link to another page.
    • This makes the articles seem legit even when they are not.
  • The internet gives us the option to really look into things.
    • It just takes 10 minutes to figure out the root of any story. 
  • He and his wife make FB live videos. 
    • They make sure everything he talks about is well-researched!
  • Exogenous ketones are BS. 
  • Millions of Americans have been running around with undiagnosed diabetes.
    • If they fast before a check-up, their doctors won’t see how sick they are.
    • Doctors check the minimum.
    • Patients blindly trust them.
    • If your doctor won’t order a lab you’re concerned about, that is a huge red flag.
