Trust and Verify

  • During her medical career, Dr. Gutman came to realize that some of the things she had been taught were based on incorrect science. (6:00)
    • She is an Emergency doctor, and has been since 2002.
    • She was also trying to get her parents to be healthier; however, they have a hard time adjusting to improved and updated information.
  • Vinnie has had a similar issue with his parents, particularly his mother. Due to a medical problem, he was caring for his Mom, and that’s when he helped his parents implement changes. (12:00)
  • There are ways to eat healthily on a fixed income. (16:00)
  • Dr. Amy shares her experience getting her mother the correct medical help. (22:30)
  • The discussion turns to the oft-misused term “doctor,” referring to people who use it without an MD or PhD in medicine. (30:00)
    • There is a challenge working with most Registered Dieticians as well. (40:00)
  • Dr. Amy speaks about her challenges in convincing her parents to continue the healthy plan she set up for them. (43:00)
    • Many people often say they will “do anything” to get fit and healthy, except for doing the actual things that get you fit and healthy.
    • Marketing of products and medications can be misleading, too. (55:00)
  • Vinnie’s wife, Serena, is 64 years old and very fit. NSNG agrees with her! (1:05:00)
    • Healthy foods increase your vitality!
    • Foods like ghee help build “sexy” hormones. (1:10:00)

Powerhouse Living

    You can find her book on Amazon and other booksellers. And in Vinnie’s book club https://amzn.to/4r45gU2
  • It contains real-life examples of people who transformed their lives. It is meant to inspire people to lead a life of purpose and adaptability, even in challenging and hectic times. It is not a stereotypical self-help book.

The Tipping Point

  • Shannon Davis is a registered dietitian, but she describes herself as a “rogue” dietitian. (1:30)
    • She has worked in organ transplant centers.
    • Fatty liver disease is a carbohydrate or sugar problem, but patients were never taught that.
    • Patients had always been told it was a problem with fat, protein, or fried foods.
    • Dietitians need to be reflective and question the information they are recommending. (3:30)
  •  As a pharmaceutical rep, she realized she was peddling meds and not helping, and she hit her tipping point. (5:00)
  • She discovered the low-carb and ketogenic health space, and now she feels she has found her purpose in teaching a healthy lifestyle.
  • They discuss misinformation regarding carbs and “complex carbs.” (14:00)
  • Shannon reviews her medical education and what she was advised to teach diabetics about carbs. (15:00)
  • Besides interventions in dietary guidelines and metabolic health,
  • The Presidential Physical Fitness Test for students should be required in schools again. (33:00)
    • Kids have become sedentary, and they become adults who sit in cubicles. (42:00)
  • The amount of medications prescribed for metabolic health is skyrocketing. (45:00)

Weight Loss Medications

  • Shannon is not opposed to medications; however, she firmly believes there is a place for them when truly necessary. (49:00)
    • However, GLP-1s are overprescribed without a full understanding of their side effects, and oftentimes for minor weight loss.
    • For example, hyperplasia: fat cells get smaller, but they multiply. This means that when you get off the drug, you will gain fat back, and in larger amounts.
  • Side effects are loss of muscle and bone, digestive paralysis, optic nerve damage, erectile dysfunction, suppressed autophagy, and much more.
  • There are natural ways to boost your own body’s GLP-1. (57:00)
