Fat can have a bad reputation, but certain fats are essential for the healthy functioning of your brain. Between government guidelines, fad diets, and our endless social feeds, nutrition advice overload has left us all a bit lost with how to incorporate healthy fats into what we eat. In this episode, we discuss: • The different kinds of fats (saturated vs. unsaturated) and which ones we actually need to consume • The myth that “because your brain is primarily made of fat, it thrives on a high-fat diet” • How the cardiovascular damage caused by saturated fats can increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia • All the tasty ways you can get more healthy, unsaturated, essential fats into your meals We welcome esteemed nutrition scientist Dr. Alan Flanagan back to the show, to explore the history of research into the impact of fats and how it shaped one of the most robust bodies of evidence in all of science. We're also joined by Dr. Danielle Belardo, renowned cardiologist and science communicator, to talk about the interplay between heart health, brain health, and fats, the controversy around statins, the low-down on LDL cholesterol, and the future of cardiovascular interventions. ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neuroscientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. ‘Your Brain On...

Cardiologist reviews Dr. Gundry's appearance on Dr. Mike show with cardiologist Dr. Danielle Belardo. Nearly everything Dr. Gundry said was inaccurate. He recommended smoking and told people to stop eating fruit. He didn't offer any evidence other than anecdotes and stories. While Drs. Mike and Belardo refuted his claims with a multitude of studies. Of course, he has a new contrarian book to sell. https://dralo.net/links

Watch the full video interview here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/GundryVOD Dr. Steven Gundry began his career as a highly-successful cardiologist and heart surgeon. In more recent years, he has pivoted away from surgery and more into preventive medicine at his clinic in souther California. Dr. Gundry is a highly vocal advocate for a wide variety of highly controversial health claims, often centered on the gut microbiome and "lectins", which are found inside foods like tomatoes and bell peppers that he claims have disastrous effects on your health. Over the years, I've had issues with many of the things Dr. Gundry has said, so when his team reached out about having him come on the show to promote his new book "Gut Check", I was eager at the oppurtunity. That being said, I was quickly to communicate to Dr. Gundry's team that not only would this be a contentious discussion, but that I would also bring in my friend Dr. Danielle Belardo, a heart and diet expert in her own right, to join the discussion and get down to the truth about a number of Dr. Gundry's most extreme claims. To his credit, Dr. Gundry accept, and this conversation is what followed.

This podcast was born in response to COVID and vaccine disinformation that, while bubbling up for some time, flooded the population with the release of the pseudodocumentary, “Plandemic.” Ever since then, we've wondered how to combat the constant tides of pseudoscience masquerading as “natural remedies” that conspiritualists champion, then sell for a profit. One of our earliest champions was the Southern California-based cardiologist, Danielle Belardo, who built up a large social media following even before the pandemic ravaged the world. Not only was she on the actual frontlines of COVID wards, but she's been leading the charge on providing evidence-based information on her social media feeds, as well as her excellent podcast, Wellness: Fact Vs Fiction.Derek was recently a guest on that podcast, and now Danielle returns the favor, joining him to discuss her thoughts on being a science communicator and a female cardiologist in a male-dominated field, as well as many of the wellness myths circling around social media, including supplements, statins, sunscreen, veganism, organic foods, and GMOs. 

Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, board certified dermatologist and leading skincare myth buster, Dr. Ranella Hirsch.

They share their SPF and sun protection must-haves and why the most important thing is to find a product that works for you.        Danielle and Ranella discuss:     How often you should apply sunscreen and how much you really need   Whether makeup with SPF protects your skin and how to layer your products  Common misconceptions about SPF, water resistant sunscreen, and the UV index  The latest hot topic that sunscreen makes you vitamin D deficient—is it true?  Differences between mineral, chemical, and DIY sunscreens         Dr. Ranella Hirsch is the co-founder of Atolla: Custom Skincare and is frequently quoted in the fields of cosmetic and laser dermatology. She often lectures to physicians in the fields of laser surgery and cosmetic dermatology and is currently involved in a number of clinical studies of laser technologies and skin care.

Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her double dose of experts this week, registered dietitian Dr. Kevin Klatt and board certified family physician Dr. Spencer Nadolsky. This trio is fired up and ready to debunk their favorite controversial topic, functional medicine. The world of social media has created a lot of movement in alternative spaces of medicine and nutrition, and it is hard to tell fact from fiction as it “feels” and “sounds” a lot like real medicine. With the claim to address the root cause of illness and restore health, you would think this practice would be standardized with a list of guidelines, but it's not, and that can be a very slippery slope. On today's episode, Danielle, Spencer, and Kevin dive into the predatory nature of integrative health practitioners, how more lab tests are not always the answer, and which fake diagnoses you deserve to know the truth about.       Dr. Kevin C.
