PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

A NATION OF SICK PEOPLE

  • We are a nation of sick people.
    • Nina wanted to find out why.
  • There’s an incredible bad science foundation.
    • In the 1950s, we had the runaway train of bad advice: that fat was bad.
      • It could never be proven true, yet we continue with them.
  • Check out her book which discusses this: https://ninateicholz.com/about/the-big-fat-surprise/.
    • Nina talks about good fat vs. bad fat and all the myths in that space.
  • It talks about animals, politics, culture, and more.
  • When Nina had to start writing on this, it forced her to adopt a mindset different than the one she held.
    • She was used to the CICO, low fat, vegetarian mentality.
      • However, since she learned about low carb, high fat, she’s gotten healthier and lost weight.
  • It’s hard to combat this when there’s so much censoring of the keto community.

SATURATED FATS

  • We’ve come to demonize sat fats.
  • However, the science largely doesn’t support this.
  • A lot of Nina’s work focuses on this.
  • So many of the scientists who have debunked the BS have not received the acclaim they should.

The Value of Cattle with Dr. Lyle Rode – Episode 1811

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1811 – On this Friday show, Dr. Lyle Rode joins Vinnie to discuss buttergate, perfect foods, factory farming, the value of cattle, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. LYLE RODE

  • Dr. Rode has his PhD in Dairy Science and Bacteriology.
  • These days, he largely acts as a consultant to the livestock feed industry.
  • How the animals eat do affect what the cow produces.
    • Butter in the average grocery store is dairy that is pooled together from tons of cows.
      • Kerrygold is a little different.
  • In Europe, butter has to be 85% fat, while here, it only needs to be 80%.

THE VALUE OF CATTLE

  • On large farms, they may have specific people whose sole job is to take good care of the animals.
  • On small farms, there are other pluses, too.
  • About 2/3rds of the land we have to grow food is only really fit for livestock.
    • Africa, which has the biggest growing population, is particularly poorly-suited for anything other than livestock.
  • Also, cattle is incredibly important for the environment and for grasslands and the like.
  • India has about 30% of the world’s cows and the cows there tend to be less efficient.
  • Rice produces about 80% of the greenhouse gasses cows do.

PERFECT FOODS

  • The closest thing to a perfect food is an egg.
    • You have all of your vitamins and amino acids (but short on a couple minerals).
  • The next closest may be milk.
  • Meat is so chock full of nutrients and the like.
  • So many other foods that make up the bulk of vegetarian/vegans’ diets are lacking in nutrients.

Setting an Example for Your Patients with Dr. Tro Kalayjian – Episode 1481

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1481 –  Tro Kalayjian, DO.  joins Vinnie this Friday to talk being overweight and losing weight as a medical professional, setting an example for your patients, fasting and exercise, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUR PATIENTS

  • Tro is a doctor.
  • Tro used to have to tell people to lose weight.
    • He, however, was 350 lbs himself at around 5’11”.
      • Now he is around 195 lbs.
  • He’s also now a runner, and he does some fasting.
    • He finished 5th recently in a 5k!
  • His wife really encouraged him to lose weight via low carb.
    • She said that he was going to die and leave her with their kids.
  • Tro has specialties in obesity, diabetes, nutrition.
  • He recognizes that the whole food part of Game Changers is real, but the plant based part is messy (at best) science.
  • He feels that setting an example for his patients is incredibly important.
  • Tro also strongly believes in fasted exercise, though it is less important than diet itself.

NUTRITION EDUCATION

  • Tro did med school, 3 years of training for internal medicine.
  • In the whole of med school, they maybe spent a week on nutrition education while learning other things.
  • The nutrition consultations that he did give, he’d say “cut sugar and fat, go see a nutritionist,” and that was it.
  • If a doctor with the best, very extensive, education can’t figure out why HE is fat, that’s a problem.
  • Most of his people start with a dirty keto approach.
    • He doesn’t think this is the best, but if it helps them, then okay!
  • He’ll teach people how to intermittently fast.

VEGANISM AND ASSOCIATIONAL STUDIES

  • Ivor Cummins has been on the show many times.
  • He is The Fat Emperor! 
  • He wrote a book with Dr. Jeff Gerber.

  • He read over 200 reports having to do with cholesterol.
    • Realized we misunderstood carbs, fat, metabolism completely.
  • He realized the importance of resources to get messages across.
    • Look at “Gamechangers” – this propaganda film only features the absolute fittest vegans and has millions and millions behind it.
  • Ivor is working on a movie. It’s called “Cereal Killers.” This will be a great film, be on the look for a Kickstarter!
  • Vegans like epidemiological associational studies.
    • An omnivore eating a healthy, unprocessed diet will be healthier than a vegan not eating processed food.
    • Vegan diets CAN be healthy, but when the masses start doing it without learning about it, they won’t be healthy.
  • Look at the risk calculators online when you get your cholesterol numbers.
    • You can SHOW these to your doctor.
    • Take your health into your hands.
