TNT Wellness and Nutrition Podcast

For the podcast this week, we discuss natural methods to cure heart burn. The current recommendation for heart burn treatment revolves around the acid suppression theory which states that heart burn is caused by too much stomach acid. This is wrong. Heart burn occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter, which when open allows food to enter our stomach, remains open when it's supposed to close. This allows stomach acid to reflux back into the esophagus which causes pain and discomfort. Giving acid suppressing medication only treats the symptoms of heart burn, to truly cure this condition you need to add acid back to the stomach not remove it. This will trigger the lower esophageal sphincter to close and remain closed while your stomach digest meals. The best ways to do this are supplementing with HCL pills which replace what the stomach naturally creates or you can supplement with vinegar around your normal meal times. To learn more about why heart burn isn't caused by too much stomach acid and methods to cure it naturally, listen to this week's podcast.  Link To Book Mentioned on Podcast Why Stomach Acid Is Good for You: Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux and GERD

For the podcast this week, we discussed how the potent one two combo of increased light exposure from artificial sources as well as lower intake of high quality vitamin A is leading to increases in cases of night blindness. The best ways to help save your eyesight are to wear blue light blocking glasses in the evening as well as increases your dietary intake of vitamin A. The source of dietary vitamin A really matters. Plant based vitamin A, beta carotene is only partially converted into true vitamin A retinol therefore the best way to make sure you're getting enough vitamin A in your diet is by eating enough animal sourced foods paired with enough fat to help metabolize the vitamin A fully. To learn more about vitamin A and why it's so important to get enough in your diet, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss why certain people start to lose hair at an accelerated rate when they start a low carb diet. This can be very alarming for obvious reasons, however, the type of hair loss that occurs when you start a ketogenic diet is called telogen effluvium. This isn't true permanent hair loss. This is shedding of hair at an accelerated rate. The hair will start to grow back eventually. So, there's no need to panic and no reason to stop your new healthy diet. To learn more about why this happens and how you can stop it from happening in the first place, listen to this week's podcast.  Link To Article of The Week Why Am I Losing Hair on a Keto Diet Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article that outlines which sport helps extend our lives the most. This paper concluded that tennis is the best sport to play to extend your life the longest specifically mentioning the social aspect of tennis that helps extend our lives the most.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article that looked into the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training for endurance athletes. This paper showed that BFR endurance training rated the highest in perceived effort compared to traditional high intensity interval training (HIIT), meaning it resulted in the most discomfort by the end of the experiment. However, compared to normal HIIT training, BFR used less oxygen and these subjects had a lower overall HR. This means the BFR group did less work overall. These studies show that BFR can be used as an addition to your endurance training routines, but most likely traditional endurance exercises and HIIT will offer the most benefit.  Link To Paper Physiological and Perceptual Responses to Aerobic Exercise With and Without Blood Flow Restriction Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

In this week's podcast, we discuss the mental health crisis affecting the entire world. To truly put this epidemic in perspective, let's go over some of the numbers of people effected by mental health across the world. It's estimated that 322 million people have depression, that's the size of USA! Depression is the #1 cause of disability in the world. 800,000 people per year commit suicide which is the #2 cause of death for young people. Is there anything we can do about this? Why is this happening? I believe we should look into our diets to see if there's a link between our food intake and our mental health. The Standard American diet is high carb, high in processed fats, and high in processed foods in general which are low in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and quality proteins. It's known that a poor diet leads to insulin resistance.  Is there a link between insulin resistance and mental health? Let's look. People with depression are 37% more likely to have diabetes. People with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are 300% more likely to have type 2 diabetes.  80% of Alzheimers patients are diabetic.  Now this doesn't mean IR causes mental disorders, but we can draw some conclusions from this data. We can look at it deeper because we know what the brain needs to work optimally: Vitamins, minerals, fats, cholesterol.  ⅔ of the brain is fat. 20% of fat in the brain is DHA. 20% of the bodies cholesterol is in the brain. Plant food contain no DHA, no cholesterol, and are low in bioavailable vitamins and minerals. To learn more about the mental health crisis and how the rise of the plant based diet is leading to more cases of mental health disorders, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article which outlines the Lancet's recent change on the origin of the Covid-19 virus. It now believes it's okay to discuss the lab leak theory. This theory states that the Covid virus was man made and was leaked from a lab in China. We chose this article specifically to talk about censorship in the scientific community and to talk about who “fact checks” the fact checkers. This is extremely important because in order for the scientific community to make any real differences, it has to be able to challenge the current dogma without fear of being “canceled” or dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. But, the current academic climate doesn't allow any opinions that aren't in line with the popular narrative to gain any traction, even if that opinion is backed up with strong science. To learn more about why this current climate is causing issues and why the “fact checkers” need to be checked themselves, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss how, when, and why you should incorporate some sort of fasting into your daily routine. There are so many benefits to fasting that it would be impossible to list them all, but there are two big benefits that we discuss in the podcast. The first one is overall weight loss, which most people are looking for. The second reason is that fasting also promotes a process called autophagy. This is cellular recycling in which your body goes through and breaks down old and broken cells and replaces them with new healthy cells. Eating carbohydrates and processed foods constantly, which the standard American diet promotes, actually hinders your bodies ability to reap the benefits of autophagy therefore, changing your diet and incorporating some sort of fasting into your routine will allow your body to better heal from the normal stresses of daily life. Fasting doesn't have to mean you don't eat or drink for days on end. A very simple and easy way to incorporate fasting into your daily routine is to do some sort of intermittent fast. The most common version is the 16:8 method. This means you eat all your meals in a 8 hour window and the other 16 hours of the day you don't eat any food. During this window you are allowed fluids that contain no or very few calories. Drinks like water, coffee or tea without added sugar or creamer are perfectly fine.  To learn more about why you should fast and the easiest ways to implement it into your daily routine, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss a study that promotes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as the world's healthiest food, claiming they can add 33 minutes to your life with every serving. This study also claims that hotdogs are the worst food to eat and has the ability to take 36 minutes off of your life. This is complete BS! I wouldn't recommend people eat too many hotdogs as it is, mainly because of what people eat with hotdogs. They are usually paired with a sugar filled pastry masking itself as a bun. On the same plate, you will usually find some chips and the hotdog will be washed down with a soda or maybe some sugary tea. The worst thing about this proposed meal is everything besides the hotdog! The hotdog itself contains high quality protein, meaning it contains a complete amino acid profile and has those said amino acids in a highly bioavailable form and in their correct ratios. It also will contain essential fatty acids which our body needs to perform optimally.  So in my opinion, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are way worse than hotdogs. PB&J's contain a ton of sugar, very low quality proteins and contain a ton of the fat, linoelic acid. This is an omega 6 fat that when eaten in excess, can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which is the root cause of the vast majority of diseases of western civilization. Things like heart disease, cancer and diabetes to name a few.  To learn more about this paper and why it's complete trash, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss Tom's experience running 100 miles in 34 hours. This truly was a gargantuan physical feet. Very few people on earth have ever attempted to run 1oo miles continuously so we thought it would be good for Tom to discuss his journey, explain how he prepped for the race, and how he dealt with adversity during the race as well. At the end of the day the take home message when anyone attempts and accomplishes such a huge feat is that, anything is possible. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do! If you have a big goal in mind, create a plan of attack and execute that plan. No matter what anyone says.

For the podcast this week, we continue our discussion of the book, Civilized to Death by Christopher Ryan. We dive into his opinions on how the civilized world deals with sex and how vastly different our ancient ancestors viewed sex.  Humans are commonly compared to chimpanzees because they're our closest relatives, genetically speaking. Therefore, scientists use their behavior to explain our behavior. Chimpanzees use tools and also partake in organized group conflict which is uncommon in the animal kingdom. The only other animal to do this is humans.  However, humans are just as closely related to another species, the bonobo. This group of chimpanzees rarely fight and use sex as a form of currency. They partake in various types of sexual acts and view it as a way to maintain a peaceful and functional environment for everyone.  So why shouldn't humans be compared to bonobos when it comes to their views on sex? This is the question we discuss on this week's podcast.

In the podcast this week, we discuss how the city of Berkeley, California is planning on reducing the amount of meat it purchases for city supplied meals with the goal of going completely plant based in the future. The reasons used to justify this move revolve around reducing the city's greenhouse gas emissions and the city's attempt to promote healthier meals. Both of these reasons are complete shit! Animal agriculture is not a major contributor to total worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. In total, plant based agriculture contributes more carbon to the atmosphere than animal agriculture.  Plant based meals are also lacking in too many essential vitamins and mineral compared to their animal based meals to be consider healthy, in my opinion. Some of the nutritional deficiencies in plant based meals include: Vitamin A, D, K, Choline, Creatine, Cholesterol, Carnitine and Zinc, just to name a few. You must include animal based sources of nutrition in your meals in order to get the optimum amount of these nutrients in your diet.  To learn more about why Berkeley is going vegan and why we think it's the wrong decision, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the book Civilized To Death by Christopher Ryan. For the last 140+ episodes of this podcast, we have discussed what humans should eat and how they should exercise in order to be their healthiest and strongest. However, we are very aware that there is another huge side of the equation that helps humans be their best selves and that's how they live and how they construct their personal environment. This encompasses their day to day lives, where they live and how they think. This book outlines how humans live in a zoo of their own creation and for the most of us, this zoo sucks! The lives we live today are vastly different than the lives of our ancient ancestors. The rules we are forced to follow to fit into the so called "normal" way of life, don't allow most humans to live a healthy and fulfilling life.  The book Civilized To Death goes over all of this and more that's why we decided to discuss it this week. Hopefully this message helps people live a more happy and fulfilling life.

For the Article of The Week this week, we discuss an article that outlines how cows have the capacity to break down plastic in a natural way that is much faster and cleaner then the ways we currently deal with plastic recycling. The invention of plastic has been a blessing and a curse for our society. Plastic has allowed us to develop various containers and materials that make our modern lives possible but we didn't think about how we would dispose of all this plastic once people were done with it. Our current solutions are not sustainable. We try to recycle some plastic but only a very small percentage is fully recycled. Most plastic is burned which releases harmful byproducts into the atmosphere or we simply bury the plastic and push our garbage problem onto the next generation. Neither of these solutions are sustainable, so finding natural ways to dispose of plastic is crucial for ensuring our world to shift towards more sustainable lifestyles. With that in mind, it was recently found that a bacteria in cows' GI tract has the capacity to breakdown plastic. This is great news and gives us hope that sometime soon, we will have more natural and sustainable ways to deal with the excess plastic in today's world.  To learn more about cows and how they are doing to help save our planet, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we end our conversation on covid. We will be discussing the prevalence of asymptomatic spread and looking into the data to see if lockdowns were effective in slowing the spread of covid, and if asymptomatic spread was so dramatic that it warranted mass testing and mass mask wearing across the world.  Asymptomatic spread is responsible for 6 - 7% of all covid cases. It is not the primary driver of covid spreading across the world. Therefore the narrative used to convince healthy people that they are sick is wrong and not based on accurate non biased science.  To learn more about asymptomatic spread and how someone can test positive for covid yet show no symptoms and learn what this means, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the safety data used to justify the mass vaccination of the world against the covid virus. The number most widely reported claiming the vaccines have a 90%+ efficacy is misleading. This number represents the relative risk reduction from vaccination, not the absolute risk reduction from catching and spreading covid.  Getting vaccinated doesn't mean you can't catch covid nor does it mean you can't spread covid if you do catch it. Vaccinated individuals can still catch covid and spread it if they do catch it. Vaccine safety data only measures the severity of the disease if caught, and vaccination is intended to lessen the severe outcomes from covid. Only reporting the relative risk reduction from vaccination is misleading to the general public and makes the vaccines appear more effective than it really is. The absolute risk reduction of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are .7% and 1.1% respectively. These numbers are much lower than the numbers being reporting and the fact that these numbers are not reported should be a huge red flag to everyone. To learn more about this and more about the covid vaccine, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss an article in which a track athlete preparing for the olympics tested positive for steroids and then blamed the positive test on a tainted... pork burrito.  There is a common misconception that meat contains a lot of added hormones. This couldn't be further from the truth. If this track athlete was smart, she would have blamed her positive test result on quinoa or soy. Plants have way more hormones in them compared to meat.  12oz of Grain finished beef has 7.6ng of hormones in it while 3oz of tofu has 19,000,000ng of estrogen based hormones in it. Raw spinach has 975,000ng and quinoa has 27,000,000ng. As you can see, the amount of hormones in plants vastly outweighs the amount go hormones in meat.  Did you know the plants you're consuming contained so many hormones? To learn more about hormones in meat vs plants, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the covid vaccine and some of the issues that have been associated with it. The covid pandemic has effected everyone around the world and the vaccine rollout has been the biggest vaccine rollout in history. Therefore, we thought it was appropriate to have a conversation about it and outline some of the mechanisms of the covid vaccine that might have caused some rare forms of clots to manifest. If you're interested to learn more about how covid gets into our body and how the vaccine works, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article that critiques the carnivore diet. If you didn't know the carnivore diet is a diet that consists of meat and meat alone. No added carbs from fruits or vegetables. This diet may seem controversial to some and especially to traditionally educated dietitians, but the carnivore diet has its roots in the evolution of our species. We are both fans of the carnivore diet, therefore, we didn't agree with this article and its critique of the diet. To learn more about why we are fans of the carnivore diet and why traditional dietitians don't like the carnivore diet, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the world's most nutrient dense food.. Meat! First let me define what nutrient density is. This is a term used to describe the nutrition profile of any given food. It encompasses the macro nutrients, meaning the amount and quality of the protein, fat and carbohydrates in the food as well as the micronutrients of the given food, meaning the quantity and quality of the vitamins and minerals in the given food.  When you gauge food on this scale, the cream rises to the top and it becomes obvious that meat is the most nutrient dense food on the planet. Not only is it a great source of the two essential macro nutrients, fat and protein, it is also a great source of vitamins and minerals. Out of all the known vitamins and minerals, meat contains the most nutrients except for Vitamin C and Vitamin E. During the podcast, we discuss why these shortcomings for meat really aren't a deal breaker and explain why a properly formulated low carb diet actually requires less of these vitamins. We finish the podcast outlining some of the nutrients that you will only find in meat. These include: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin B9, B12, B6, Heme iron, Long chain omega 3 fats EPA and DHA, choline, carnitine, carnosine, cholesterol, and creatine. As you can see, this is a very long list of key nutrients that can only be found in animal sourced foods.  Listen to this week's podcast to learn more about the world's most nutrient dense food!

For this week's podcast, we discuss what makes the human foot unique. Compared to our closest relatives, humans have very unique features that allow us to specialize in bipedalism. We have an elongated mid foot with a limited range of motion and short toes.  We walk from heal to toe, every other animal solely walks on their toes. This allows us to both sprint when needed as well as run for long distances. All of these features allowed humans to outrun and outlast most of the prey we hunted and turned us into apex predators.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the many benefits of eating an animal based diet. From an evolutionary perspective, eating a meat heavy diet was more advantageous compared to eating mainly plants. Today's society is loaded will easily acquired calories. There's a Starbucks or convenience store on every corner and you can get thousands of calories for a few dollars but this is a very unique time. For most of our evolution, the acquisition of calories was priority number one therefore we had to be efficient with how and what calories we acquired.  In nature, for humans, plant‐sourced calories cost 10 times the price of meat if it is available. Seasonal fluctuations in many plant species' hinder their reliability as a food source for a significant portion of the year. In contrast, animals are always available. They may get skinnier and fatter depending on the season but they are always available. Carnivory, therefore, would have been a more time‐efficient and reliable caloric source.  On top of that our guts are designed to eat meat. We have a very short colon and a very long small intestine. Human colons shrunk by 77% over the course of our evolution. We didn't use our colon for fermenting because we didn't have too. Most of our energy was from energy dense animal sources, which are absorbed in the small intestine therefore over time we slowly decreased the size of our colons. The elongated small intestine is where sugars, proteins, and fats are absorbed. Sugars are absorbed faster in the small intestine than proteins and fats. Increased protein and fat consumption should have placed a higher selective pressure on increasing small intestine length. A long small intestine, relative to other gut parts, is also a dominant morphological pattern in carnivore guts. This altered gut composition enables better animal food digestion but hinders plant food absorption. This, and many other features of the human anatomy, show that humans evolved eating an animal based diet. To learn more about the benefits of eating meat and why humans evolved focusing on acquiring animal based calories, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we review an article that tries to outline the world's most nutritious foods. To no one's surprise we don't agree with this list at all. The top food on this list was almonds and the second most nutritious food was an exotic fruit called cherimoya. Neither fruits nor almonds contain a complete amino acid profile, which any truly nutritious food would. Almonds are high in the omega 6 fat linoleic acid. Too much omega 6 fats in the diet has been linked to various health conditions including heart disease. So, any diet focusing on health would limit any excess linoleic acid as much as possible.   To counter act this list we made up a list of our top five most nutritious foods. Muscle Meat Organ Meat Dairy/Colostrum Eggs Bone Broth These five foods are all high quality sources of protein and fat and contain every vitamin and mineral the body needs in its most bioavailable forms. If your diet consists of a variation of these five foods, you will get healthier and stronger by the day.

For the podcast this week, we discuss the difference between omnivores and carnivores. This is a continuation of our conversation which argues that humans should be classified as facultative carnivores and not simply just as omnivores. The distinction argued on this podcast is that yes, humans are omnivores. This means we can eat on various trophic levels but we can only thrive when the majority of our nutrition comes from animal sources, therefore, classifying us as facultative carnivores is more accurate.  An example of a true omnivore generalist would be a raccoon. Raccoons can eat basically eat anything and they aren't stressed one way or the other if they get the bulk of their nutrition from either plants or animals. Humans, however, are stressed when we get the bulk of our nutrition from plants. Eating plants and extracting nutrients from them forces our body to do things that it is simply not good at. For example, humans don't elongate the plant from the omega 3 fat, ALA into EPA and DHA, very well. We aren't good at converting beta carotene, the plant based vitamin A, into retinol which is the animal based vitamin A and the vitamin A we actually need.  At best we convert 10% of ALA into EPA and beta carotene into retinol. Animals, however, are a great source of preformed EPA and DHA and preformed vitamin A, therefore when we get our nutrition from animals we don't have to convert these nutrients into their bioavailable forms. This puts less stress on our body and provides our bodies with the best chance at actually mobilizing and utilizing the nutrition found in food. To learn more about the distinction between omnivore and carnivore and why it matters that humans be recognized as facultative carnivores, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss an article titled, Texas lawmakers approve bill banning 'meat' and 'beef' from labels of plant-based foods. This article outlines a bill that recently passed designed to make a clear distinction from plant based meat replacements and true animal based products.  We are both in favor of this bill passing. Plant based meat alternatives are highly processed garbage disguised as a health food. There is nothing healthy about these foods, so we believe that they should not be allowed to be called meat since meat is a true super food.  To learn more about this bill and the problems with plant based meat alternatives, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the caveman diet. This episode was inspired by an article in Science titled, Neanderthals Carb Loaded, Helping Grow Their Brains. This article triggered a discussion around the validity of a low carb diet. Stating that carbs have always been a major part of our diet and restricting them under the guise of some sort of ancestral diet was wrong. I couldn't disagree with this more! The caveman diet is a low carb, whole food based diet that consist mainly of meat. With these guidelines in mind, we believe that humans should be classified as facultative carnivores and not simply omnivores. Meaning, we can survive off of plants but not thrive. The only way to truly thrive from a dietary standpoint is to get the bulk of your nutrition from animals. They offer the most vitamin rich foods packed with all the essential amino acids and fatty acids we need to thrive.  Our ancient ancestors couldn't go to a grocery store or buy groceries on amazon. They were forced to live with nature and feed off of the land. Therefore, they didn't have access to a large amount of carbohydrates for the vast majority of the year. Cavemen, however, had access to animals all year round and this is what made up the bulk of their diet.  To learn more about the diet humans evolved to eat and why the article claiming we ate lots of carbs throughout our evolution was completely false, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss an article that outlines how to build a home gym for under $1000. Building a home gym is a smart investment in both your mental and physical health. It's hard to find an excuse to skip the gym when your gym is right in your home. There are so many options when looking into gym equipment that it can be hard to figure out what's right for you. With that in mind, we broke down the most essential equipment you'll need.  There are 5 essential items needed to build your home gym. Barbell Squat Rack Weight Plates Adjustable Bench Jump Rope  To learn more about the equipment you'll need and our specific recommendations, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss deuterium which is commonly referred to as heavy water. Heavy water has the same chemical structure as normal water, H2O, however the hydrogens are made of a different isotope.  Deuterium is a hydrogen isotope that contains both a proton and a neutron in the nucleus. This doubles the size and weight of the atom. A normal hydrogen atom is actually called protium. If you had an ice cube made of entirely deuterium molecules, it would sink in normal water instead of float. It is a naturally occurring isotope and makes up about 150 ppm or 0.015% of natural water. High deuterium levels are linked to many chronic diseases: cancer, insomnia, depression, accelerated aging, ALS, diabetes, epilepsy, PCOS, and any other disease rooted in mitochondrial health.  When we have too much deuterium in our tissues, more of it gets used by our mitochondria during metabolism. This really large and heavy form of hydrogen wrecks our mitochondria because they are not designed for it. Why are the levels higher? Three primary reasons: There is more in the environment. Over the last 50,000 years a lot of ice all over the planet has melted. This ice released a lot of deuterium that was previously stored. Deuterium is in many pesticides, like glyphosate, because it helps things grow. Farmers use this to increase yields. This could be the reason why glyphosate causes cancer. Deuterium is highest in carbs like grains, sugars, and root vegetables. We’ve increased the amount of these types of foods in our diet by a lot. What can you do to limit your deuterium exposure? Eat lots of animal based foods. Especially grass fed or pasture raised. Consume only organic fruits and vegetables. Follow a low carb/ketogenic diet. This limits the amount of deuterium you’re putting into your body. But the real magic is that you are creating deuterium depleted water inside your cells during fat metabolism. To learn more about the harmful effects of heavy water and what you can do about it, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss Joe Biden's plan to incentivize farmers to incorporate more regenerative agriculture processes into their current farming operations.  This topic generated some exaggerated headlines recently with people reporting that President Biden wanted to limit our red meat consumption. This isn't true. This came from a misrepresentation of President Biden's plan. President Biden wants to support farmers that have incorporated regenerative agriculture practices and are focusing on methods that will actually increase the amount of carbon in our soil by pulling it out of the air. This is one way that we can reduce the carbon in the atmosphere and slow down global warming.  To learn more about the current problems with modern agriculture and the President's plan to address it, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how cancer spreads throughout our body. This is referred to as metastasis. It's important to understand how and why cancer spreads throughout the body because metastasis is the primary reason people are killed by cancer. It is responsible for 90% of all cancer deaths.  The steps needed to be taken for metastasis to occur are complex and must be completed in a precise order. This is important to understand because the current teachings on cancer, referred to as the somatic theory of cancer, states that metastasis occurs through a process called EMT (epithelial to mesenchymal transition) followed by MET (mesenchymal to epithelial transition). Both of these steps try and explain metastasis in a way that lines up with the somatic theory of cancer. So, it basically blames metastasis on random gene mutations.  This is an unnecessarily long and complicated explanation for metastasis because it tries to explain this process using the somatic theory as a base. However, if we use the metabolic theory as a base, understanding metastasis and explaining it becomes a million times easier.  The metabolic theory of cancer explains metastasis like this: cells of our immune system like macrophages located within the primary tumor site, become metabolically dysfunctional through various metabolic stressors they experience within the tumor. Tumors are notoriously acidic and hypoxic making it difficult for normal cells to survive. The longer macrophages are subjected to these stressors, the more likely it is that they will become dysfunctional. These corrupted macrophages now possess all the necessary machinery and genetic code to spread throughout the body.  There's no need to explain metastasis through the complicated EMT and MET process because these steps aren't needed for cancer to spread. Once a cell of our immune system like a macrophage becomes metabolically compromised, metastasis is possible because macrophages inherently possess all the tools needed to spread throughout the body.  To learn more about how cancer spreads throughout our body, listen to this week's podcast.

This week we discuss an article titled, How Long Does It Take to Put on Muscle? This article outlines what happens to your body when you first start a weight lifting regimen to try and increase your muscle mass. The first take away is that you'll get stronger before you get bigger. It seems counter intuitive but it's true. This is because as you start to workout your body will get better at contracting the muscle you already have. So just after a few weeks of consistent training, you will become better at flexing your preexisting muscle, and you'll be able to lift more weight. Pretty cool! The act of adding more true muscle in the form of contractile tissue takes more time, unfortunately. If you stay consistent and have all other factors in your life dialed in as to optimize muscle accrual, you should start to notice a difference in about 3 months.  To gain muscle the fastest, you should get these four aspects in line: Strength train consistently  Increase protein consumption Consume more calories Get rest To learn more about this article and to hear our recommendations on how to get these four aspects incorporated into your life, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the metabolic effects of chronic psychological stress. Our body's stress response system has been honed and refined for over millions of years to deal with physical stress in an extremely effective manner. However, our body handles the stress we feel sitting in traffic the same as if a tiger was chasing us through the jungle. We have a sudden urge of cortisol and adrenaline designed to provide our body with the best chance of surviving this stressful event. Again, if a tiger is chasing us, we want and need this to happen. However, having the same response while sitting in a car in the middle of traffic can be damaging to our hearts. This response to stress is often referred to as the HPA - Axis, which stand for hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenals. This is the order in which the signal from our brain leaves and eventually produces stress hormones from our adrenals. Chronic stress disrupts this system and leads to HPA - Axis dysfunction which will eventually lead to heart disease. In order - exposure to various stressors causes HPA-axis dysfunction, leading to abnormal cortisol levels, and then heart disease.  This is independent of diet and one of the main reasons why adopting effective stress management techniques is so important. You can exercise frequently and eat healthy but if you continually expose your body to extreme stress, you are creating an environment for heart disease to appear, completely negating all the hard work you do in the gym and kitchen. To learn more about the precise mechanism on how stress causes heart disease, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss the recent recommendation from the AHA that claims pop tarts are a smart snack. This comes from the Alliance For A Healthier Generation which is a partnership program founded by the American Heart Association, The Clinton Foundation, and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. So, how can this program recommend products like pop tarts, diet soda and chips as heart healthy snacks for children? This might come as a shock to some of you but this organization doesn't care about your health at all. It has very deep ties to the food industry and they care about profits not health. Selling cheap, sugar filled snack foods to children keeps their profits high. To learn more about the corruption of the American Heart Association and how they have a vested interest in keeping these sugar filled snacks on the shelf, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the dangers of having a biopsy to diagnose cancer. Getting a biopsy after an abnormal scan is the current standard of care. It is the established dogma. There are plenty of examples throughout history in which the established dogma turned out to not be true.  The church said for hundreds of years that the sun rotated around the earth, we found out later this wasn't true. People used to think that “bad air” caused diseases, called the miasma theory, this was also found out not to be true. That was replaced by the germ theory of disease.  For years, we’ve been told that cancer is caused by genetic mutations, this is referred to as the somatic mutation theory. This is the current dogma and just by looking at our history, is there a chance this could be wrong? We argue that this theory should be replaced with the mitochondrial metabolic theory. This theory has more evidence supporting it and gives us a way forward in actually curing cancer that the somatic mutation theory doesn’t.  When viewing biopsies through the lens of the somatic mutation theory, it makes sense how they can be practical in preventing and treating cancer, however, when viewed through the lens of the metabolic theory, biopsies become obsolete. Not only do they not help but they can actually do harm. Getting a biopsy does nothing for how we approach the actual cancer treatment we give you. Currently, it's all a combination of toxic radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery no matter what type of cancer it is. However, getting a biopsy can lead to metastasis which is huge, in a very bad way. If your cancer stays local and contained it can be removed via surgery, or simply left alone and most of the time it will be fine but when the cancer spreads throughout your body, surgery is no longer a viable option.  Metastasis is the cause of 90% of the deaths from cancer. So, preventing metastasis should be the key focus in cancer treatment, yet our current protocol actually promotes metastasis.  To learn more about the flaws in our current cancer treatments, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss the quality of insect based protein and whether or not they can be a sustainable protein source for our growing population.  Increased access to dietary protein is a problem that needs fixing. Chronic inadequate protein intake and protein energy malnutrition currently affects 1 billion people worldwide.  So we already have a hard time feeding the people we currently have on this planet, what are we going to do in 2050 when the population is suspected to be around 9.6 billion? One answer in my opinion is to tackle our food waste problem. Nearly half of the food grown in this country isn't eaten. There are many reasons for this, but there has to be a way to make the food grown more available for the people who need it.  Another solution would be to increase the output and efficiency of our animal based agriculture. America is very good at using every part of a cow. From leather for cars to ribeyes for dinner. However, we need to put more cows on more grasslands if we're going to keep up with the increasing demand for meat.  Even if both of these problems are solved, having another source of dietary protein would be ideal. Insects can serve this role.  Compared to other animal based protein sources, the majority of insects are of lesser quality. However, there are a few species that offer good high quality amino acid profiles. If we focus our attention on these species and construct ecological friendly farming systems, we can mass produce these insects, and they can become another source of dietary protein for the entire planet.  To learn more about insect protein and their quality, listen to this week's podcast.  Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

In this week's podcast, we discuss the omega 3 index. What is the omega 3 index you might be asking? The omega 3 index is an accurate way to represent the amount of omega 6 fats and omega 3 fats in your diet. Both of these are polyunsaturated fats that must be obtained within our diets. Our body can not make them itself.  The most common way to compare the omega fats in your diet is to compare the total ratio of omega 6 fats to omega 3 fats. Using this metric you would ideally have these values close to a 1 to 1 ratio. This would provide you with the best health outcomes according to this method. However, this method is outdated and is based on some common misconceptions about omega fats and how our body uses them. For example, this method considers all omega 6 fats to be pro inflammatory, which is not true. The omega 6 fat arachidonic acid has pro-inflammatory properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties just like the omega 3 fats EPA and DHA. With this information now being commonly known amongst experts of polyunsaturated fat metabolism, there's been a new way to better calibrate your omega 6 and omega 3 fats and that's called the omega 3 index. The omega 3 index measures three values, The amount of omega-3 (EPA/DHA) in the blood. The proportion of EPA and DHA in the blood compared to all other fatty acids. The ratio of EPA to ARA (an omega-6 fatty acid). This is then translated into a percentage. A value of over 8% is considered healthy and provides the most cardioprotection and a value under 4% is consider unhealthy and is linked to various health concerns. This method provides a more accurate way to track the omega 6 and 3 fats in your diet and gives tangible advice on how to improve your health. To learn more about the omega 3 index, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we review an article from the New York Times that outlines some of the problems with high intensity exercise. You can find the article here: Too Much High-Intensity Exercise May Be Bad for Your Health High intensity interval training often called HIIT usually is done in an aerobic workout on a treadmill or bike in which you have brief periods of all out intensity trying to fully exhaust your muscles and then a brief rest period before you go all out again. This exercise technique is a great way to improve your athletic performance as well as being a great way to lose weight, however it does have some draw backs. Some of these draw backs were outlined in this article. This study had 11 participants, male and female and it put them through a series of HIIT training sessions on an exercise bike over the course of a month. It found that after two weeks, the participants were able to go harder for longer on the exercise bike, which is great news. However, after week three, they noticed a dip in performance which was linked to a decrease in the amount of energy the participant's mitochondria were producing. The study took muscle biopsies to gauge mitochondrial health. The authors concluded that too much HIIT can be dangerous and should be limited to a few times a week. This seems like a reasonable conclusion to me. However, there are some parts of the study that weren't tracked that can play a huge role in how your body responds to hard workouts. These things are sleep and nutrition. Hard workouts require hard recovery. You can’t leave recovery up to chance. You need to plan out your rest time just as much as your workouts. Proper nutrition and sleep are key to fully recover from these workouts. Without them, your body will never fully recover and you will eventually see diminishing returns from your workouts, like the participants in this study. To learn more about this study and what we thought about it in detail, listen to this week's podcast.  Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

In this week's podcast, we discuss the problems with early cancer screenings. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, so it makes sense that modern medicine is trying to create ways to detect cancer as early as possible. This is key because the early stages of cancer are easy to treat, however the later stages are more deadly. The difference between early stage and late stage cancer is that late stage has metastasized and spread throughout the body. However, our current techniques used to detect cancer early are severely flawed. Early cancer screening fails in 3 ways: 1. Over treatment/side effects  2. Data reflects cancer deaths and not all cause mortality 3. Does little to prevent late stage cancers To hear more about the problems with cancer screenings and how the established medical community misrepresents data to hide their ineffectiveness, listen to this week's podcast.

For this week's Article of The Week, we review the debate from Paul Saladino's podcast between him and Joel Fuhrman. Paul Saladino is a firm believer in the healing properties of an animal based diet while Joel Fuhrman is an advocate of a plant based diet. Both of these men had a friendly debate in which they presented their ideas. However, we felt like relying on various deeply flawed epidemiological studies like Joel Fuhrman did, showed the weak position he is in trying to promote a plant based diet as the healthiest diet possible.  If you've listened to our podcast in the past, then you should know that we sided with Paul Saladino and his views on an animal based diet. The fact of the matter is there are simply too many nutritional deficiencies on a plant based diet for it to be truly healthy. No study needs to be referenced, no test needs to be performed. It's a fact that plants can't provide all the nutritional requirements for humans to thrive. For example here's a brief list of just some of the nutrients either only found in animal foods or found in animal foods in their most bioavailable forms: Heme Iron Zinc Vitamin A Vitamin D3 Vitamin K2  Vitamin B12 All of these vitamins and minerals are lacking in a plant based diet. To find out more information about the nutritional deficiencies of a plant based diet, I recommend you listen to episode 55 of our podcast in which we outline every deficiency, and if you want to learn more about what we thought of the debate and why we agreed Paul Saladino, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the connection between blood sugar levels and associated insulin rise with the formation of cancer.  Cancer's formation isn't as complicated as some would make you believe. At the root, it is caused by chronic sublethal damage to our bodies. An example of this would be smoking cigarettes. It has been proven that smoking cigarettes increases your odds of getting cancer. They do this by introducing toxins into your lungs at a sublethal dose. Overtime, exposing your body to these toxins damages your cells and specifically your mitochondria in such a way that it produces cancer.  This process can be accelerated on a high carb diet. Compared to the other two macronutrients: fat and protein, carbohydrates cause the biggest insulin release from our pancreas. Chronic high insulin has been shown to be a potent driver of cancer because insulin is a hormone that promotes growth. In cells that are compromised via chronic sublethal damage, the hormonal and genetic changes caused by chronic high insulin create a perfect environment for cancer formation and growth. What can you do to lower your odds of developing cancer? It's easy, follow an ancestral diet. This consist of whole food, low carb options that our ancestors have ate for thousands of years. Also, practicing some sort of intermittent fasting as well as incorporating extended fast into your routine will greatly reduce your odds of developing cancer. To learn more and cancer and insulins role in promoting cancerous growths, listen to this week's podcast.  Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

In this week's podcast, we discuss an article titled, The Truth About The Guardian’s Plant-Based Ethics. This article outlines how the Guardian newspaper has been bought off by wealthy individuals like Bill Gates to promote their plant based views. This is in the form of editorial journalism. This type of journalism is a piece written by a journalist in which they state their opinion about a topic. This isn't hard hitting fact based journalism that people expect from the Guardian. However, it's presented in such a way that it appears as if it's fact based and a piece of real journalism.  The truth is The Guardian and other news outlets have sold their souls to the highest bidder and are now used as propaganda machines for the wealthy. In this case, The Guardian is funded by Bill Gates and the cofounder of Facebook, both of which, are two of the wealthiest people in the world.  To learn more about editorial journalism at The Guardian and how they're spreading lies, listen to this week's podcast.  Article Mentioned on Podcast The Truth About The Guardian’s Plant-Based ‘Ethics’ Website: tntwellnessandnutrition.com/category/tn…on-podcast/ Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

For the article of this week this week, we review a paper that outlines some dangers of taking off the shelf supplements. This paper specifically looked at a dietary fat loss supplement named, Lipokinetix. This dietary supplement was marketed as a way to increase your metabolism and aid in fat loss. However, it seems like it was just as likely to cause liver damage. This supplement resulted in numerous people going into liver failure and unfortunately it resulted in one customer needing a liver transplant since the damage completely destroyed their liver.  How can something like this happen? How can such a dangerous supplement be allowed to be sold to the public? Well, dietary supplements don't need to be evaluated by the FDA like normal prescription medications do. It's simply up to the developer of the supplement to claim if it's healthy or not. Therefore, it's easy for companies to release dangerous supplements onto the market. It's not until a particular supplement causes multiple documented cases of inflicting some sort of health issue that the FDA becomes aware of it and takes it off the shelf. However, by then, numerous people have most likely already suffered the ill effects of this certain supplement.  Be careful when buying supplements and do your research on the companies that make the supplements you like to buy. To learn more about this topic listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how essential amino acids or EAA's can be taken around a workout to enhance recovery and promote muscle growth. You might be asking, how is this possible? As we train, our body is continuously breaking down protein in whichever muscle group you're working out. This is normal and it happens every time you workout. However, too much muscle protein breakdown can make recovery difficult and hinder the amount of muscle you put on. To fight this, you can supplement with EAA's during your training. It will lessen the amount of muscle protein breakdown during training, allow you to better recover, and put on more muscle from your training sessions.  In essence, it makes your training sessions more effective. You still have to put in the work and stimulate muscle protein synthesis by lifting weights with intensity, but helping reduce muscle protein breakdown during this process is a huge aid and can help any serious gym rat add more muscle.  To learn more about EAA's and why you should take them while training, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the herbicide glyphosate, better known as RoundUp is contributing to the great bee collapse. Huge percentages of bee colonies have been dying recently and no-one has a good answer as to why it is happening. Between Oct. 1, 2018, and April 1, 2019, 37.7% of the managed honey bee population died. Why is this such a big problem?  Honey bees are essential for the pollination of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Much of the produce seen in grocery stores for example melons, apples, peppers, cucumbers and nuts are pollinated by millions of honey bees that travel across the country. The article of the week this week shows that RoundUp effects bees in negative way and can be one of the major factors killing a huge number of bee colonies. Without these bee colonies, our fruits and vegetables will not get pollinated and won't grow at all.  Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

In this week's podcast, we discuss why a diet high in omega 6 fats is unhealthy. Diseases of western civilization, things like heart disease, cancer and diabetes all have one thing in common and that's dysfunctional mitochondria. A diet high in omega 6 fats, specifically the omega 6 fat linoleic acid, causes our mitochondria to become dysfunctional and therefore have the capability to cause diseases such as cancer and heart disease. The biggest source of linoleic acid in the modern diet is industrial seed oils, better known as vegetable oils. Things like soy, corn, or canola oil. These oils are very high in polyunsaturated fats specifically linoleic acid. These polyunsaturated omega 6 fats are chemically unstable compared to their saturated and monounsaturated counterparts and cause these oils to go rancid both outside and inside of our body. Once these oils oxidize or go rancid, they release deadly toxins into our body that causes a chain reaction, which then increases inflammation and oxidative stress all throughout our body, ultimately resulting in the diseases of western civilization.  To learn more about why lowering omega 6 fats should be part of any healthy diet, listen to this week's podcast.  Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

For the article of the week, we discuss the diets of Neanderthals. This study looked into the nitrogen content in the collagen of Neanderthal's bones and found that the nitrogen content of these bones was the same as animals that are carnivorous. The specific nitrogen isotope found in bones is a good way to estimate the source of dietary protein over the course of the samples life. These samples showed that Neanderthals got most of their nitrogen from meat and not plants. Eating plants would result in a lower nitrogen isotope value.  How does the diet of Neanderthals tie into the diet of modern humans? Well, Neanderthals are our ancient ancestors and we share very similar GI tracts and overall physiology as them, so we should model our diet to be as close to there's as possible. To learn more about the diet of Neanderthals, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the source of food borne pathogens. It's commonly believed that undercooked meat is the primary source of food poisoning, however about 51% of cases come from plants, 42% from land animals, and 6% from aquatic animals. There are over 9 million cases of food poisoning every year. Narrowing down the cause of food borne illness to one cause is difficult because people eat many different foods at once, symptoms from different pathogens are similar, and the same pathogens can come from both meat and produce. In any case, the best way to prevent food borne illness is to practice safe cooking practices and proper hand hygiene. If you prepare your meals by thoroughly washing vegetables and cooking meat properly the odds of you having food poisoning is low. To learn more about food borne pathogens, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss why the protein in plants is of lower quality compared to animal based sources.  Animal based sources of protein from things like steak, eggs, milk or chicken are all of higher quality compared to plant based sources like soy or pea protein because animal based proteins contain a complete amino acid profile. Meaning, they contain all essential and non-essential amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. On top of that, whole food animal based sources of protein also contain all the necessary micro nutrients to properly metabolize the protein in the meal. Protein quality isn't reflected on our nutrition labels and this is why most people believe that protein is all of equal value wether it comes from peanuts or steaks. This isn't true at all because our nutrition labels only depict the amount of crude protein in the given sample of food and not the true protein value which is a much better indicator of protein quality.  To learn more about why crude protein is a poor marker of protein quality and why you should get the bulk of your protein from animal sources, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how a plant based diet can negatively effect your mental health.  It has been shown in various studies that people on a plant based or vegan diet experience depression at an increased rate.  In a 2018 French study of 90,000 adults, looking at different diets and depression, found that vegans were about 2.5 times more likely to suffer from depression than meat eaters. Vegetarians and pescatarians were also more likely to suffer from depression but not as much as vegans. In a 2014 Austrian study of 1,320 participants found that vegetarians were about twice as likely to suffer from depression and/or anxiety than meat eaters. Our argument shows why this revolves around the nutritional deficiencies of a plant based diet and how being low in various nutrients effects our mental health. The first nutrient that is low on a plant based diet is the amino acid tryptophan. This amino acid gets converted into serotonin which is a feel good hormone. Inadequate serotonin has been linked to depression.  The second nutrient we looked at that is low in a plant based diet and linked to depression was carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that helps shuttle fat into our mitochondria and in animal and human studies. It has been show that low carnitine levels in the blood increases your odds of experiencing depression.  To learn more about why a plant based diet isn't good for your mental health, listen to this week's podcast.  Website: https://tntwellnessandnutrition.com Email: tntwellnessandnutrition@gmail.com Itunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tnt-w…d1428217037?mt=2 Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibnzgb5hwnwd2aymtaixp6lvee4 SoundCloud: @user-422365757-83307870 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=445098&refid=stpr Social Media Links Twitter:twitter.com/tnt_wellness Facebook:www.facebook.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ Instagram:www.instagram.com/tntwellnessandnutrition/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb2pCmzu6JxW27bunmFytQ?view_as=subscriber

In this week's podcast, we discuss some of the many lies the sugary industry has told us over the years from an article titled, 50 Years Ago, Sugar Industry Quietly Paid Scientists To Point Blame At Fat This lie stemmed from research conducted in the 1960's by the Sugar Research Foundation. This group paid Harvard scientist to talk about the benefits of sugar and to blame dietary fat for diseases such as heart disease, even though, there was never any strong evidence to blame fat for heart disease. This group never disclosed any financial conflicts of interest, even though, it seems obvious that research paid for by the sugar industry would conclude that sugar isn't bad.
