Dr.Ford’s bio is impressive. He’s the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC), a not-for-profit research institute providing a “new model for interdisciplinary research”.

Short summary: Raphael talks to Fabien Delahaye about epigenetics, what epigenetic mechanisms reveal about fetal growth, and finally how to best interpret scientific studies.

Short summary: Raphael talks to Weikko Jaross about understanding the mitochondria in our cells as key to our health and how his health tracking app MitoCalc reflects that knowledge.

Raphael and Gabor talk about what it means, healthwise, to have a fatty pancreas; can caloric restriction reverse a fatty pancreas? Is calorie restriction a ‘stunt’ or a sustainable solution?

Raphael talks to George Henderson about his public health research, drug addiction, food addictions, cholesterol, and heart disease risk on very low-carb diets.

Raphael and Gabor talk about leptin, how it manage energy use and distribution throughout the body, how much it overlaps with insulin in these tasks and how it plays into the development of Metabolic Syndrome.

Episode 35 - Luis Villasenor the founder of KetoGains by BreakNutrition

Raphael and Gabor introduce Metabolic Syndrome; what is it? who pioneered it? why insulin resistance lies at its heart? A 2017 study comparing measures and estimations insulin resistance is reviewed.

Raphael talks to Nick Mailer who explains how philosophy can be a god-send to the barely-a-science field of nutrition, notorious for lax standards and logical fallacies.

Short summary: Raphael talks to Prof Feinman about the state of low-carb in 2017 and what can be done to improve nutrition research.

In episode 31 Raphael, Gabor and Richard go on a nutrition nerd safari

In episode 30 I talk to Amy about the best and the worst advice given by the low-carb community regarding protein recommendations

In episode 29 I I talk to Steven about the AHA’s dietary recommendations, insulin resistance and factors in the liver mediating the latter.

In episode 28 I I talk with Amber about carnivory, protein needs and what birds can teach us about our context dependent dietary needs.

In episode 27 Gabor and I talk about how the morphology of fat cells may soon be used to predict people’s location the spectrum of metabolic dysfunction.

In episode 26 Dr.Bikman and I talk about the how insulin signaling and the different kinds of adipose play into metabolic disease

Short summary: In episode 25 I discuss the empowering effect of educating oneself on the science of health and nutrition with Larry and Kay Lynne Diamond.

In episode 24 Gabor and I talk to Tucker Goodrich about the negative effects of omega-6 seed oils on our health and how they compared to refined flours.

In episode 23 I talk to Tucker Goodrich about the negative effects of omega-6 seed oils on our health.

In episode 22 I talk to psychiatrist and nutritionist Dr.Georgia Ede about how our diet affects mental health.

Short summary: In episode 21 Gabor and I explore how measuring hepatic acetyl-CoA in live rats advances our understanding of metabolism.

In episode 20 Gabor and I explore the ways in which fructose potentiates the release of insulin and the molecular basis for your ‘sweet tooth’.

In episode 19 Marty Kendall and I talk about nutrient dense diets and explore why some recommendations are more or less trustworthy

In episode 18 Peter Ballerstedt and I talk about how sustainable agricultural practices can help people feed themselves better

In episode 17 I talk to Dr.Shawn Baker about carnivorous diets and athletic performance, the diets myths surrounding them, and micronutrient needs on all-meat diets

In episode 16 I talk to Ted Naiman

In episode 15 Gabor and I review two studies looking at liver health by linking the process of de novo lipogenesis, with the activity of mTORC2, ChREBP-β and SREBP1c.

In episode 14 Gabor and I review a study from 2015 paper looking at the knock-on effects of adapting to cold temperatures in terms of insulin sensitivity and the behavior of fat tissue.

Short summary: In episode 13 Gabor and I review a 2011 study looking at the metabolic consequences of rhesus monkeys being fed a grain-based diet supplemented with 500mL of fructose loaded Kool-Aid a day over a year.

Short summary: I talk to engineer Dave Feldman about what his dietary self-experiments taught him cholesterol in human physiology. His “N = 1” experimentation is not only very interesting and rigorous but most importantly, it cannot be explained by current mainstream notions in lipidology. We also discuss the implications that this may have for cardiovascular disease.

Short summary: In episode 11 Gabor selects 2 papers on the physiology of migrating birds that fatten up for their voyage and we discuss what this can tell us about human obesity. The first paper is from 2002 by Bairlein and is called “How to get fat: nutritional mechanisms of seasonal fat accumulation in migratory songbirds” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12008967. The second is called “Adipose energy stores, physical work, and the metabolic syndrome: lessons from hummingbirds” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16351726 and is by Hargrove et al. from 2005.

Short summary: With guest Ellen Davis we discuss the many medical applications of ketogenic and low carb diets, all of which is explored in depth in her 3 books “Fighting Cancer with a Ketogenic Diet”, “The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes” and “Conquering Type 2 Diabetes with a Ketogenic Diet”.

In her new book “The Alzheimer’s Antidote”, Amy Berger explains how improving one’s metabolism through a well-formulated low-carb high-fat diet is a worthwhile strategy to manage the disease. We then discuss how ‘excess protein’ is an overblown concern when it comes keeping adequately low blood sugar by not excessively stimulating gluconeogenesis. Lastly, we discuss the right and wrong reasons to sell and use exogenous ketones.

In episode 8 of the Break Nutrition show we discuss 2 papers which explore the glycemic, insulin and incretin responses and how the digestibility of starch as well as the apportioning of endogenous vs exogenous glucose comes into play. The paper from 2012 is “Slowly and rapidly digestible starchy foods can elicit a similar glycemic response because of differential tissue glucose uptake in healthy men” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22990033. The paper from 2015 is “Plasma glucose kinetics and response of insulin and GIP following a cereal breakfast in female subjects: effect of starch digestibility” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25852025.

In Episode 7 of the Break Nutrition show we discuss how changes in the cellular structure of starchy tubers and grains arising from certain types of food processing can disrupt our glycemic and insulin responses.

In Episode 6 of the Break Nutrition Show we discuss why bariatric surgery improves metabolic parameters quickly

The Break Nutrition Show provides a unique format to explore diet and health topics by alternating between in-depth technical discussions of specific research papers and shorter lay-friendly episodes on general health and nutrition questions

In Episode 4 of the Break Nutrition Show we discuss why the rate at which you absorb sugar may affect obesity, diabetes and general metabolic health

In Episode 3 of the Break Nutrition show we discussed rodent studies showing an insulin gene dosage-dependent effect on adiposity, the interplay between caloric restriction & circulating insulin, as well as how incretin hormones affect fat loss dynamics"

In Episode 2 of the BreakNutrition Show we talked about how dysregulated cycling of fat between fat cells, the liver and the fat we eat can lead to obesity

In Episode 1 of the BreakNutrition Show we talked about how how dysregulated fat flow from fat cells can drive the creation of new glucose in the liver and lead to diabetes
