Shownotes and Transcript Ivor Cummins, maybe better known to many of us as The Fat Emperor, has challenged the Covid narrative from the very beginning.   He joins us today to discuss a new tyranny happening not only in Ireland but across the whole of Europe. Compelled speech.  Ireland's new "Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences" Bill has been waiting for approval in the Senate since the summer.  This biggest curtailment of free speech was set to quickly pass until scrutiny from free speech champions stalled it.  Ivor goes through the bill and the expected consequences.  Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI  completed a Biochemical Engineering degree in 1990. He has since spent 30 years in corporate technical leadership positions. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity.   Since 2012 Ivor has been intensively researching the root causes of modern chronic disease. A particular focus has been on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. He shares his research insights at public speaking engagements around the world, revealing the key nutritional and lifestyle interventions which will deliver excellent health and personal productivity. He has recently presented at the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) and also at the Irish National Institute of Preventative Cardiology (NIPC) annual conferences.  Ivor's 2018 book “Eat Rich, Live Long” (co-authored with preventative medicine expert Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP), details the conclusions of their shared research: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Rich-Live-Long-Mastering/dp/1628602732/ Interview recorded 12.12.23  Connect with Ivor...

Ivor, thanks so much for your time today. (Ivor Cummins) No worries, Peter. Always good to chat about real truth and accuracy and avoid misinformation, shall we say. Which is fast and thick and furious and being thrown at us from every angle. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your different videos. I know recently you've done Dr Pierre Kory, who we had on, you've obviously been on TNT Radio, I saw I think recently with Darren Denslow who's been on with us quite a number of times and I think your title on that was Technical Manager, Biochemical Engineer and Technologist and obviously you've got your background in biochemical engineering and probably over the last couple of years you've been very vocal on pushing back against the COVID tyranny and then it's much wider. I think from 2012 you've been researching the root causes of modern chronic disease, focusing on cardiovascular and I'm sure that over the last three years a lot has been added to that, that you weren't expecting. But maybe you just take a moment and introduce yourself before we get on to what is happening in Ireland and the criminalization of speech. Yeah absolutely, so briefly I did biochemical engineering, I graduated in 1990, I spent five years in medical device and development of dialysis units and all that kind of stuff. So I got a lot of medical exposure there at the time, but then the next 20 years, plus I was on the high volume kind of, uh, electro fluidic devices. And it was great because it's extremely complex when you have around 10 sites around the whole world, making products, uh, billions, ultimately of complex devices, the slightest problem or the most subtle problems, it can become huge, you can lose millions of dollars overnight. So I was the master problem solver. Ultimately, I ran large teams on the most complex problems, multi factor. And I did that for 10 or 15 years, 20 years. And I was also a manager as well of teams of up to 20 engineers, directly people managing them, that was great experience. So, I just got this vast experience in complex problem solving and people management and essentially a form of politics, corporate politics, which was also very useful. And what we're seeing since COVID started, coming ultimately from Rockefeller Brothers Fund in the 50s, right through Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, Council of Foreign Relations, UN, the EU, I'm beginning to view those as a complex problem solver as almost synonymous. So they're all so interconnected and countless NGOs and corporates and the World Economic Forum that people find it hard to believe. Well, how could this be orchestrated? Who could possibly organize it? And it's actually quite simple. It's a long game plan for a global governance structure. And it's funded by the people at the top and the most powerful political people and the US State Department has an interest. And they're all working for around half century or more since the Second World War towards a very tight, well-controlled global government. And yeah, it's not that hard to orchestrate, because all the right people are doing it. And they're doing it like we did things, corporate style. It's very structured. It's full of lovely language. It's got lovely goals that sound great. It's obviously highly sinister under the hood. But yeah, it's not that complex. But most people don't have the corporate experience to be able to decode something like this, find all the players and just see the whole picture. And that's the problem. Just like people have no knowledge of virology or epidemiology, you know, or immunology. So you can fool the people with ease. And that's the challenge we've been seeing. And that's what I jumped into in March, 2020, because I could see pretty quickly, I have five children, I could see where it was going, it wasn't hard. And I just knew that this is kind of the battle of our generation, there's no question about that. And if we lose, we'll have a China-style society in the West, and that's pretty much the outcome. Yeah, and I respect those views. I think Naomi Wolf actually mentioned that from day one, whenever it was announced shutting down Broadway, then her and her husband left New York immediately. Others has taken a little bit longer to see through. You're hoping for the best in institutions, in society, in media. I think we've realized there is no best there. But what has been then your last three and a half year because that's a world away from a background in the biochemistry, the research. What you're doing now is so different. So I mean let us know that change and what that has been like for you personally. Yes, it's certainly been interesting, but you live in interesting times. So 2012, 13 up to 2020, when COVID hit, I was deeply involved in biomedical and metabolic research, and I was going all over the world speaking. A wealthy Irish entrepreneur was funding me to travel all over the world to conferences, medical and nutritional, and to explain to people how what caused heart disease, Alzheimer's, most of the solid tumour cancers that cause the most death, and all of these modern chronic diseases go back to the devil's triad. So very simple, I named it that. It's sugar, refined grains, refined carbohydrates, and vegetable oils, seed oils. And that's what makes up most processed foods, which is around 60% of everyone's calories. So essentially, were poisoning the population for nearly a century now. So I was lecturing on all of that and on insulin resistance, which is the big thing you measure, because that's the target you have to get down low, and then you're pretty much okay. But then when COVID hit, I had been so involved in the corruption of the statin kind of industry, the cholesterol-lowering nonsense. I'd been involved in a lot of drug corruption, and also back in the 90s, I'd actually been directly involved, not personally doing things, but older engineers were doing things completely against the rules. And it was common practice, you know, in biomedical manufacture. And I'm sure that never changed. So I had all this experience in the corporate corruption. I had all the experience in my own corporate roles in the last 15 years, again, in the corporate politics and corruption. And I had all the medical and biomedical knowledge now and metabolic. So when COVID hit, I was on stage in Denver, big room and giving a talk and then I came down and Trump was shutting down the country and I said what the hell is going on? And my wife had said previously, she had said should we get masks? Now she's a first class honours engineer and she's aware of a lot of my work but she assumed COVID was a big deal and I just smiled and this was early March I think and I said not at all sure. I saw the Diamond Princess data and you could see from who died and who didn't that it was going to be a bad flu equivalent. I mean, there's no question about that. The ship had shared AC. They were crammed together. They got 25% positivity. It was an extreme maximiser of infection. So you see the end result. And a few people in their late 70s and late 80s passed away. That was it. So we knew. But when they shut the airports, I said okay they're gonna pull a swine flu and they're gonna pull a big swine flu, a scam. And got back to Ireland and after that I just started interviewing immunologists, virologists, epidemiologist because when I will call something constantly I check with my massive network and my massive network of specialist in all the medical fields grew rapidly because a lot of people out there who are seeing that this is crazy. And so within a few months, I knew not only everything you needed to know about COVID, the mortality impact, the lockdown ineffectiveness, mask ineffectiveness, seasonality, I cracked the whole lot with the help of my network. And I began to explain it in layperson's terms. And that's when I began to get smashed, put in the newspapers, and censored. Even though I didn't talk any anti-vax, any crazy stuff, everything I said was referenced to government data. I was very careful. But in September, my viral video shot up to millions of views, half an hour, just me with slides, just explaining all the factors in COVID, just what it was. And the New York Times did a half-page article on me. It's like, whoa, a half-page hit piece on an Irish engineer. But at that stage, I knew that this was a total orchestrated scam. There was no question. So it didn't actually surprise me that the New York Times devoted half a page to an Irish engineer because the system and the media particularly were owned. And my video had corporate CEOs. They actually said it in the article. A leader in the COVID scam in the US, I forget his name, said, I have people from major companies, CEOs, coming to me asking, is this Irish guy right? So it shocked them. Just truth. Just truth. That's all it was. Well I think we learned people are hungry for information and that information is becoming, can be more difficult to access. But I want to go, I mean, I'd love to pick you up on that, on the. Fascinating. I know your book, Eat Rich Live Long, is available. Links are in the description and people can get a hold of that. And that health is a hot topic, but I want to talk to you about Ireland and the restrictions on speech. I mean Ireland has had incitement to hatred, hate speech laws for I think it was 89 or 90 was introduced, the UK has had it across Europe, but what is happening in Ireland at the moment with this new piece of legislation has really woken a lot of people up. I mean I saw an article in Newsweek magazine a couple of days ago and they were saying this cannot go ahead, this is Orwellian hate speech. Do you want to just let us know what exactly has been proposed in Ireland? Yeah, well, for sure, you're absolutely right, Peter, to refer to the 1989 Hate Speech Act, because that was actually very good legislation. It is still 100% perfect legislation for what they claim may be a problem, because it is quite powerful. It's been used, I believe, 50 times plus. And if you go out and make hate speech that could cause injury or cause hatred towards people or minorities, yada, yada, yada, they can go after you. No problem. So the law is there. It's perfectly functional. Needs no upgrade. What they brought out, it seems to be, I don't know, a Soros, an NGO coming down from the UN, maybe using Ireland as a test case for the most extreme madness that they're willing to try out in the test bed of Ireland. But what's in it is just lunatic. Now, people listening, they know it's terrible and it's great to hear Newsweek featured it. And it is, of course, Orwellian. But the extent to which it's insane, I can't even believe the bad guys want this or wrote this. So essentially, there's layers of madness. One is that they don't define hate speech really at all. And Michael McDowell, the former Attorney General in Ireland, was fantastic in the Irish Parliament questioning the Justice Minister on this point, it's not defined. And he said, I've heard the reason discussed for not defining hate speech was it could make it more difficult to convict people. And he said, that's the point. It should be difficult to convict in these kinds of matters, so it should be defined, so you get the right guy. So that's one point, It's not defined. There's around 10 groups, arbitrary, that they've listed out, like traveling people, and trans, and sexual, and gender, all this nonsense, none of whom has a problem anymore with hate speech. There is no far right in Ireland worth a toss. None of these groups have any real issue, right? So that's the other layer, not defining. And the other thing is that they've put in that a single guard, based on someone whispering in his ear, can get a local, very low-level court warrant and come into your house and take everything, anything and everything. It's like, wow. It can be diaries, it can be phones, it can be computers. They could take them for weeks, I would guess. And if you don't give a PIN number, that's also listed as an offence. If you say, I don't know the PIN for that, it's an old phone, that's an offence with six months in prison potentially and a big fine. That's another insanity. And when they take it, if they find anything under the undefined hate speech kind of thing, right, they can say, well, okay, that's private. You wrote this down. You could write a diary and you could say, oh, I hate this group and I don't like that group and I think they should be thrown out. Whatever you want, which you're entitled to. Of course, you're entitled to write that stuff. I wouldn't agree with it, but if you believe that, go ahead. Keep it to yourself. It is up to you to prove to a judge that you would never in the future have shared that. So it's guilty until proven innocent has been put in this. It is thought crime. It is 1984. It is minority report. Remember the movie with Tom Cruise? They see that you will commit a crime in the future using futuristic technology and they come and arrest you. It's like that but much worse because your private writings, memes, God knows what's on your computer from stuff you've downloaded or had sent to you. You have to prove you would not in the future share that. I mean, it is just beyond notes, hopefully, you know, well, you know already. It's just insane. I keep using the word insane for this because I'm blown away, even me after three years of COVID. People need to understand that. It is insane. There's no other word. Has this come in, I mean, the UK have obviously got the online safety bill. That's another issue. And then the EU passed a bill, proposed a bill, which now passed just days later. But this, you're right, it's difficult to understand when legislation exists to tackle a so-called crime or injustice. And that's already there and everyone says that can be used and there's no issue with it being used. And then something else is brought in place, supposedly to correct a problem that isn't addressed and yet it is. And it is this confusion, I guess, and of course, we don't have the media reporting this or asking why. It's simply, well, are you for hate? I'm not for hate, therefore you want this bill. I mean, talk to us about the pushback on this and has it been scrutinized at all? Yeah, there's no scrutiny at all. I mean, basically, we know now, and it's not even controversial, I think, recently a TD or an MEP, an Irish MEP was asked, oh, what do you think of coming back to Ireland, back to Irish politics and the Dáil? And he said, well, no, and he casually let a cat out of the bag. And he said in the interview on record, he said people don't realize that over 70% of legislation comes from Europe, down to Ireland. So he said, to be honest, I'm better off over here, because that's where the control is. He didn't say control, but he said the first piece. And that's it. So essentially, I would say this is the simple way to view it now. Over the last couple of decades, increasingly, and now it's largely complete, when people go into politics, first of all, people got to remember the skill that brings you into politics is the opposite of technical, mathematical, logical. You go in there with so-called people skills. You know the type, right? So they go in there and they're kind of useless technically. Anyone can fool them, even though they're cunning. Anyone can fool them technically. And with legal matters, will fool them. So the people that go into politics now, especially in Ireland, we're like a vassal state of EU, UN, WEF. You know, we're really bad. That's why we had the longest lockdown in Europe. So they go in anyway and they quickly find out, political people find out where the power is. Like a lady said years ago about Washington, when you go into the Senate in Washington, an old guy said to her, you got to lean to the green. And he didn't mean environmentalism, he meant the dollar, you got to lean to the big guys, the money, the lobbyists, if you want to be successful. So in Ireland, they go in, they quickly find out it's all about the EU and keeping the big boys happy, and the UN and the WEF. And if you get invited to Davos, oh my God, that's the pinnacle of Irish political success. So you get the idea. So when it came to the Dáil, this legislation, they all just said, oh yeah, yeah, great. Oh, hate, love. Oh, we're all lovey-dovey. Oh, trans, you know, Ukraine, all this stuff. So all the politicians just signed it off. Didn't even read it. If they read page 10 and 11 and they had a brain, they'd say, oh my god, but they didn't. You know they didn't read it. They were all told it's great and they all signed it. And then when it was coming up to the Senate and then it would go to the President, then people began to get wind of it and began to talk about it. And then it became a problem. And then Elon Musk began to talk about it and said, what the hell's going on in Ireland? And then they started and saying, oh, he's right wing, he's an anti-Semite. There are politicians judging Elon Musk. It's like an ant judging God. It's just crazy. So also, I think it was someone connected to Trump, not Trump himself, made comments on how crazy it was. And then he did a big article, oh, Trump. Trump doesn't want it, because they know people think Trump's bad. It was propaganda to the power of 10, because they wanted it true and the media wanted it true. You know, the media all wanted it true. So luckily the Senate actually, it didn't go past and it got delayed. You know, that's all they could do. They delayed it. And then shockingly based on the stabbings of some poor children, actually migrant children, I believe. They used the anger in the public from the gross, excessive, uncontrolled migration in the last year or two. There's anger. 75% of Irish people or more in a Red Sea official poll said immigration has gone way too far, uncontrolled. It needs to be pulled back in control. So the majority in the country believes that. But the anger that's there in the country, smaller percentage of people are very angry. and a bunch of hoodlums caused a riot. They smashed windows, burned buses. They didn't beat anyone up and they didn't go after any migrants. They did a smash and grab spree on the back of public sentiment. And with the children being stabbed, it was an opportunity, it's happened before. Nothing to do with far right, nothing to do with political ideology. It was opportunistic from a bunch of hoodlums in hoodies. And the video showed that. and the government actually used that problem that they caused, right? They then tried to flip truth upside down and use the problem to ram the insane law through. You couldn't make it up unless you knew how loathsome, low-life's our politicians are and how utterly controlled they are from the NGOs and all the other groups up top. It is just shocking, right? Well, I want to go down the Irish politics side, but you need a catalyst in the UK, the catalyst for the online safety bill was the stabbing and murder of David Amess MP and that immediately everyone came out and said we need this online safety bill. Even with that individual was possibly radicalised in his local mosque but that's a conversation you weren't allowed to have so we'll just focus on. We've seen the issue there in Ireland and the government have not wasted the opportunity to jump on that. I was even looking at that and thinking, is this contrived? I mean, governments need a catalyst to push forward. And if something happens, they can point and say, look, we told you so. This is why it's needed. And everyone comes together. I mean, what were your thoughts on how that happened? And has that been the main catalyst or have other things happened to push it forward? Yeah, there was talk of, you know, there's always talk of kind of false flag and don't get me wrong, there's a ton of false flag and there's a ton of Hegelian kind of mechanisms that have been used since all of human history, problem, reaction, solution. You create a problem, essentially, you then use propaganda to get a big reaction to it. And then you come in with your pre ordained solution and everyone goes, yeah, we'll take it. So COVID's a classic example of that. A lab created gain-of-function virus. It comes out. They see that it's got a little bit of pathology to it or pathological effect. It's going to kill older people mainly. And they big it up. And then they say they have a solution, the vaccine. So there's a lot of that. This one here, I really think, because I'm a logic and data guy and I go on probabilities. That's the centre of my universe. The overwhelming probability, I would say, that guy has not worked, I believe, in 20 years since he came here, the person who did the stabbing, and probably has all kinds of issues. And I think they've even referred in some articles to some of that indirectly. They don't want to identify him. I think that was just a happening. And we saw it earlier, a girl was stabbed by, again, a migrant who had issues. And even locally in my area, a similar thing occurred a few years ago, a very tragic case with a family. So these things happen, you know, when migrants come to places, sometimes they're under pressure, they don't have the language, they develop issues. So I think that just did kind of happen. But the exploiting of it, well, like I said, is just criminal. And the reason it blew up, if that was a very rare occurrence and it just happened, and it wasn't after a year or two of increasing public discomfort, like the poll said, they know that the towns around Ireland, little towns, are getting stuffed with migrants. And they can see they're young males mainly. They're not women and children from Ukraine, come on. I mean, down in South East Wexford, there was a nursing home being built for a community of 1,200. And a couple of weeks ago, it transpired that suddenly it's not being built. It's being built in a different direction for 170 young male migrants, young male migrants, unmarried. And they're looking at bringing it up to 400 over time. Now, a thousand people marched and of course the media all sniffed and sneered at them like they're far right. It's their community. It's insane. I mean, the numbers that came in in the last six or 12 months is like 100k and the graph of the numbers coming in went through the roof. And O'Gorman, I think the minister last year, he did this, it's on the record, sent out a tweet, not in Ukrainian. In Ukrainian, Georgian, and African languages. And he basically said, Ireland's open. You'll have a house within four months. We get you a phone. We get you loads of money. Whatever. I don't know what was in it. But it was translated into all African languages and everything. So he's on the record. They want to flood the zone. And the reasons for that go back to the Pan-European Union in the 30s and speeches in 2009, I think, by, who was that CEO of Goldman Sachs who became a big UN guy, not Robinson, forget his name, an Irish guy originally. He gave a huge speech and he said it outright. We have to destroy nationalism. We have to destroy sovereignty in the EU countries. We have to break it down. And the mechanism, the best mechanism for that, besides pouring US junk television in, right? And phones, you know, the best thing is flood in very different people, ideally young males, and blend the country into a blob so we can get a big blob in Europe without any national identities. So they're actually destroying diversity because we had all these countries that you could freely travel to and see their culture. and then you come back home and you talk about it, that's actually diversity. They're all peaceful, all lovely, but they want to end diversity. They just want to make a blob because a blob can easily be translated into a super state or a China-style society. Very hard to do it when you've got identifiable nationalities in Europe. It's so simple, isn't it? This is a hundred-year-old brainstorm strategy that's clearly being deployed recently. Big scale. That's it, no racism. In fact, last thing I'll say, sorry I'm on a rant here, it's morning time, but Peter, the last thing I'd say, and this is so important for people to know and understand, The people who are using minorities from other countries as cattle, literally using them as pawns in their chess game to get their globalist Europe and globalist West, they are the ultimate racists because they have absolute scorn and contempt for poor people from all over the world that they're forcing into countries and creating difficult situations where there may be, you know, certain amounts of racism stoked and provoked, you know, like a hornet's nest, keep shoving in people, they don't have accommodation, our homeless can't get accommodation, they've ignored them for decades, and now they're shoving in hundreds of thousands with, we already have an accommodation problem, what's going to happen? But the people driving this, they are the racists. I am the opposite of racist, my record is clear, they'd love to call me one, but they can't because I have a full record on social media and forever. Absolutely the opposite. In fact, I've often shared anti-racial movies and films on my Twitter, like Kenneth Branagh, 2001 conspiracy, it's called, about Wannsee in Germany in 1942 or three. I'm clearly an anti-racist. They hate that. But that said, I know racists when I see them and the people driving the policy are racists. And of course there's nothing you can say or push back if you're called names which is this legislation about offending and finding offense and if someone has been offended you cannot prove that in a court that, you cannot prove your feelings in court and of course when someone calls you whatever, racist, xenophobe, Islamophobe, the list goes on, you can argue and you can push back but it's already been decided by whatever individual has said. They have decided and therefore you are because they have spoken. And that declaration of speech, you know, truth goes out the window. It's the issue on pronouns. If someone wants to use a pronoun then they define that person who is a man, is a woman and that must be true. And that kind of removal of truth, not only in this legislation but I guess across Europe for all the hate speech which is simply if someone finds offense then it is decided that a crime has been committed. It's beyond absurdity but also it's very malign and clever. So the people I refer to are driving this as a geopolitical crucial strategy this is not small stuff, that's why it's getting so much funding and backing. it's very important for broader globalist. Kind of government desires and to make ultimately, we won't get into detail, the intention is to translate the UN into the world government or for the West. The UN is being built and built and built and we can see the insanity coming from Guterres, the head of the UN. We're now global boiling. We're no longer warming, all nonsense. The UN is being teed up. So there's a lot put into this thing and hate speech because it is important because free speech increasingly could cause a real problem for basically plans that have been grown beautifully for 70 or 80 years since post-World War II. So, you know, too big to fail. They can't let all of the plans of geopolitical, you know, structure and infrastructure that have been built for a half century, they can't let it fail because people all start becoming aware of it and talking about it, that's why there's this extreme kind of insane zeal to get in the laws, because they're important, and people need to realize that. And you say you can call. Yeah, once you call someone a racist, the judge is going to roll over. That's the sick thing. We saw in COVID, several people brought very good cases, and they assigned a lower-level judge to check if the cases were appropriate to bring forward in the system. I didn't realize they could do this. They did. So there were mask challenges and other challenges. This judge, she went in and looked at everyone. No, I don't think that's, no, that's not required. One judge threw them all out before they even got in the system. So you know what will happen. If the government don't like someone, they'll try to nail them on this law, and the judge will be in the pocket. The judges now are no longer really independent. We saw that in COVID. They know where the wind's blowing, and they do their job. A lot of them are appointed. So that's institutional corruption gone crazy. And another one I just thought when you were talking, Peter, there was a communist activist, a very significant person. I can't remember his name, but back in America before the McCarthy era, when America was big, there were a lot of activists who wanted America to go communisto or fascististo. And one of them was caught with, not emails at that time, but circulars to all their activists. And he said to them, and he was right, very clever. he said always call our detractors, our opponents, always call them a fascist. Now he said be careful, don't call someone a fascist if it can blow back on you. In other words, don't always do it, but whenever you can, call them a fascist. And he said if we keep repeating this on an individual, after a while the people will largely just come to believe it's true. And he said, it's the most dirty word and the dirty label you can put in someone right now. So use it. And you can see now that that advice was excellent, but it turned out it all failed in America until recently. Now they've got Biden and all the rest. They're getting, they're getting to communism. But yeah, exactly that. They know that racism is powerful. if you can make it even stick a bit and get your media to keep repeating it, people will assume, well that's the racist guy. I mean, it's shocking, it's criminal, but this is the game they play. Yeah, you talked about the 70 year. I mean, I'm still blown away having grown up in Dublin, Limerick, first like nine years of my life. It was rough, but actually it was conservative as a country. You had Fianna Gael, Fianna Fáil, polar opposites in theory. Now they're all together, the union party. Has this been sped up simply with the bailout after the financial crash, with Europe then calling the shots? Because if you look at Italy and Greece, they've kind of held on to their identity. And Ireland has always been known for a strong identity. That seems to have gone out the window. Obviously, COVID has sped things up, and that's part of it. But is it the crash? Is it that Ireland is now beholden to Europe because of that or talk to us about that because the collapse in Irish society has been unbelievable. Yeah, I think it's not so much the bailout more as the symptom of the problem. I mean the fact that Ireland kowtowed and the EU, the EU flooded the zone with money. They told Ireland flood the zone and the little Irish went off and they flooded the zone for the EU overlords and it suited them because there's money everywhere and everyone was happy. And then the piper came to be paid, and they went with cap in hand, and they gave away all our money to the bondholders. So I think Ireland back then was just a biatch, really. It wasn't that they got them then, they'd already got them. So I think it's been many decades, Ireland, maybe partially because of the history of the British rule, the Irish became culturally doff the cap to the big man. They might grumble, but they doff the cap. So Ireland, over the last 30 or 40 years, we saw it with all the referendums. They were rammed through or run several times to get through. The Irish intelligentsia, politicos, Europe was the big boy. And they dropped to their knees for Europe all the way. And then they took in the corporations, did the double dutch, the tax thing. They're allowing them to get away with 1% effective tax rate. So they played the kind of beggar to the American corporations. And I think over 50% of our GDP now is biotech and pharma. So we're just kind of biatches for the pharma sector. So you can see Ireland has made itself into a kind of a rent boy on the global market. Let's be honest. It's sad, but that's the way it is. But people are waking up to that and begin to realize, my God, our whole echelon of politicians are actually, by definition, essentially traitors. Because we're voting for them and they're immediately giving their allegiance straight up the chain to forces outside the country. So they're actually technically traitors. So I think that's kind of what happened to Ireland and it showed in the longest lockdown in Europe, it shows in the hate speech laws, a test bed for this craziness. It shows in every interview when you see these goons we have up the top. It's just disgusting, like, right? And was that the total question about why Ireland? Did I miss something there?  No, it's just, I find it curious, having grown up there, first nine, ten years of my life, and just seeing that collapse, and you kind of think, that's not the Ireland that I knew growing up, and then you realise it's not. It's changed beyond all recognition, with no media pushback, no political pushback, And then if you don't have Fine Gael or Fianna fail, you've got Sinn Féin, you're thinking, hmm, could this thing get worse? Okay, I'll tell you something about Sinn Féin. I mean, Sinn Féin during COVID, the government did the most insane, crazy-ass, unscientific, damaging, nonsensical measures, the worst in Europe almost. And Sinn Féin were screaming at them to do more. I mean, I'm not joking. They were literally screaming at the government, saying, you're not keeping us safe. And it was the same in all the issues. So Sinn Féin are an unmitigated disaster. They're the opposite of opposition. So they play this pantomime. And I think there's a hashtag, politics is panto. And it's so true nowadays. It's a fricking pantomime. And Sinn Féin go up and argue with the government, and the government argue back with Sinn Féin. It's all a joke. It's all a club. At the end of the day, they are all aligned with each other, really, at the Dáil bar and behind the scenes. And the reason that they're all aligned, this is the important thing, I've said it already, they all understand there's big power structures in the world, and we kow tow to them. Therefore, there's no point arguing amongst each other except as a pantomime for our voters. That's it. I mean, it sounds kind of conspiracy theory. It's basic geopolitics. Now that we have a world structure of World Economic Forum, UN, EU, and I mean, recently Professor Werner, who invented quantitative easing in 95, I interviewed him. He's an expert in central banking and all the political. He worked for the Japanese government during their financial challenges as a direct advisor, chief advisor. Learned Japanese, fluent German, fluent English, master's, PhDs from Oxford. Brilliant man. But he told me something that I actually didn't realize. He said, you know the European Parliament has no real power. It's a talk shop. The European Commission decides the laws, the Commission. And the Commission are essentially not elected. And he said, you know what other region in the last 100 years had that exact structure, and they've almost taken it from them? Soviet Union. They have a parliament, people aren't too aware, and they have a Politburo, a commission, and it's the same structure. The parliament, you let them all talk and pretend that they've got some control, but the party decides. He said, essentially, and he said, one or two or a couple of Russian historians, have noted this in the early 2000s, academically, that fascinatingly, Europe is recreating the Soviet model. And people don't know that. And of course, under that model, the EU Commission, who are diplomatic immunity, no army or police can enter their grounds under any condition, a bit like central banks, they decide, the parliament then, And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, everyone, blah, blah, gets very high salaries, tax-free. All the people from the countries go over there and suck on the teat of Europe. They have a great time, meals for everyone, best of steaks. And they go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's that. And then the countries, of course, they just doff the cap increasingly. You look at Hungary, they say, we don't want to do this. And if you go against Europe, they take the whole European media, and they feckin' bury you. They bury you in accusations of far-right, nationalistic. They take away all the EU money. They cause you pain. So this is what we have. We have a new Soviet structure that wants to become a Chinese social credit-style full totalitarian structure. It's just what it wants. The organism of the geopolitical top strata in Europe, they want the full power. It's just natural, it's in the DNA now of the whole structure, it's not any one individual or one bad guy. Yeah, it's driven primarily from the late 50s by Rockefeller Brothers Fund and all the other bad guys and NGOs and CFR and all these groups and the Club of Rome, they're all pushing one way and that's it, it's simple guys, it's not a big conspiracy theory, it's just geopolitics has gone the wrong way for us. And a lot of bad guys have ended at the top. That's all. Happened in Rome. Jesus!  Yeah, and you see pushback across Europe with the rise of populist parties. Ireland and the UK sadly are sitting on their backsides with now, but that's a whole lot. I just want to just finish off on where you think this, the bill will go. It's been, what my understanding was, been in the Senate since maybe July, so and it was passed up. It's been sitting there now with more scrutiny. Where does it go? Because the police obviously will have to be sent out to police all these tweets which I thought they could do under the legislation but this is darker. Is there a way of turning it around so we just accuse everyone on the left of hurtful comments and the police must investigate? I mean is there requirement for an investigation. I'm just thinking of how you push back because this is going to pass through. I can't see any way it stopped. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure, Peter. Yes, they say we need a true by Christmas and all this talk, but they're not divulging what's actually happening. So I'm not sure what's actually happening on the ground mind you a very senior politician secretly met with me and a team of doctors, surgeons and businessmen back in September 2020. Very senior I obviously won't name in private and pretty much told us that most the politicians knew most of what I was sharing about COVID but he said, no everyone knows you don't talk about it and you support the narrative. So there's that level of institutional corruption, and I'm sure now there's similar stuff going on. A lot of the senators will have found out from their bloody daughters from social media how insane this is, but they'll know, shit, this is important. It comes from the big boys up top. We can't let them down. So I don't know exactly what's going on. I'm still hoping absolutely that with the focus on it, that they'll have to hold back their nonsense about these riots being a reason to bring in this insane law. I presume they're thinking, hmm, that's not washing. So I hope it's not inevitable. If it does happen, we got a massive problem. There's no question about that, because once it's in, it is a tool for tyranny waiting there like a nuclear weapon. sitting there on the statute of books with no place there, a criminal law, criminal in its very drafting. Criminal in its drafting, that's how bad it is. It's bad, but I guess, yeah, possibly be able to use it against itself. But you know, the judiciary and all of these bent politicians will be striving to throw out any cases involving it for leftists or nut jobs. And they'll be hyper trying to influence judges and police to use it on the people the government doesn't like. God, it's very sinister, isn't it? It's literally a tool of government to suppress people who don't agree with the government, which is treason in my mind. I mean, it might not be the exact definition. I don't care. It's treason. Well, we're all following this closely and praying and hoping that actually it is stopped. Ivor, great to have you on. Obviously, people can find you @FatEmperor on Twitter and thefatemperor.com. They can see all the videos, interviews up there on the website. Really appreciate your time today. Thanks so much for joining us. Thanks so much, Peter. And if people are wondering, I'm down south in an undisclosed location, but that's me fox there. I picked it up. It's from an old country estate in Wexford that was stripped. Guy had it for 10 years, got it for 200 euro. Beautiful case, probably 100 years old plus. So anyway, bit of trivia.  That's probably a hate crime against foxes. But anyway, we'll leave it there. Thanks, Ivor. Good luck, Peter. Bye now.

Today I speak with Ivor Cummins. Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP completed a Biochemical Engineering degree in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity.    Since 2012 Ivor has been intensively researching the root causes of modern chronic disease. A particular focus has been on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.    He shares his research insights at public speaking engagements around the world, revealing the key nutritional and lifestyle interventions which will deliver excellent health and personal productivity. He has recently presented on heart disease primary root causes at the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR). He has also debated Irish Professors of Medicine on stage, at the annual conference of the Irish National Institute of Preventative Cardiology (NIPC). This series features conversations I conducted with individuals who have dedicated their research, businesses, lifestyle, and health to various forms of Fasting and the science of Fasting. This podcast series is hosted by Patricia Kathleen and Wilde Agency Media. Patricia Kathleen Podcasts   TRANSCRIPTION *Please note, this is an automated transcription please excuse any typos or errors [00:00:00] In this episode, I speak with biochemical engineer, author and international speaker Ivor Cummins, key points addressed were core tenants of his book, Eat Rich, Live Long, in which Ivor enumerates the scientifically backed health benefits of eating a low carb diet. We also talked on aspects of fasting and how both his book and Ivor himself have engaged in fasting practices in order to facilitate and enhance benefits received from a low carbohydrate diet. Stay tuned for my informative talk with Ivor Cummins.   [00:00:39] My name is Patricia Kathleen, and this series features interviews and conversations I conduct with experts from medicine and science to health and humanitarian arenas in an effort to explore the world of fasting from a variety of angles. This dialog is meant to develop a more complete story about the information, research, personal stories and culture in and around the science and lifestyle of fasting. If you're enjoying this podcast, be sure to check out our subsequent series that dove deep into specific areas such as founders and entrepreneurs. Vegan life and roundtable topics. They can be found on our Web site. Patricia Kathleen .COM, where you can also join our newsletter. You can also subscribe to all of our series on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Pod Bean and YouTube. Thanks for listening. Now let's start the conversation.   [00:01:31] Hi, everyone, and welcome back. I'm your host, Patricia.   [00:01:34] And today, I am very excited to be sitting down with Ivor Cummins. He is an author and chief program officer for Irish Heart Disease Awareness. You can find out more about Ivor and all of his work on the Fat Emperor, or dot com, which is his website. And we will be climbing through that as well as his book today. Welcome, Ivor.   [00:01:55] Thanks a lot, Patricia. Great to be here.   [00:01:57] Absolutely. For those of you that are new to this podcast, I will read a brief bio on Ivor. But before I do that, I want to give everyone an overview of the road map of which our trajectory, the inquiry will be based out of. We took a large part of our podcast inquiry today from you. Public as we reached out and asked everyone what they would like to hear from Ivor on. So I will first spend the first part of it unpacking, Eat Rich, Live Long, which is the book that Ivor has released in tandem with Dr. Jeffrey Gerber. I'll have him unpack the three main sections of that book and some of the core axiomatic details. And then we'll turn straight to the inquiry that all of you have put out there. Namely, we'll look at areas of emphasis that he has in the book and then outside of that, on fasting in general, different types of fasting, fasting, blood glucose levels, things that he's spoken to in the book around that, as well as other knowledge he may have. He has not spoken to. We'll ask him about his future plans of study. We'll ask him about different forms of fasting that he may have practiced himself. We'll ask him about an increase based on hitting a stall for different people who have looked into that, namely calcium scores of zero. A lot of you have written about very specific elements that Iowa or has spoken to. We'll talk about vitamins and minerals supplementation and other cardiological elements with different aspects there. And we'll talk about fast mimicking. And if he's had any things to study or talk about that we're going to get into the questions you guys had about, based on the list of the 10 items to be considered outside of the low carb diet that he advises about sleep vitamin D. I know that I've always done a bunch of podcasts on on his own podcast system based on expertize from people in a lot of those fields as well. So as promised, prior to peppering Ivor with questions, quick bio, Ivor Cummins has completed a biochemical engineering degree in nineteen ninety. Since 2012, Ivor has been intensively researching the root causes of modern chronic disease. A particular focus has been on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. He shares his research, insights and insights at public speaking engagements around the world. Revealing the key nutritional and lifestyle interventions which will deliver excellent health and personal productivity. Iver's 2018 book, Eat Rich Live Long, coauthored with preventative medicine expert Geoffrey Gerber, M.D., details the conclusions of their shared research can be found on Amazon. His public lectures and interviews are available on YouTube, where he has about seventy five thousand subscribers and about six million views as recorded to date. Again, you can find out all of the information regarding either on the Fat Emperor or dot com. So I work instead of kind of climbing through which people can find on your Web site a lot of your academic and occupational background. I know that you come at it from a different viewpoint. Can you briefly describe what your career prior to diving into Eat Rich and Live Long and the studies there in.   [00:05:06] OK, Patricia, I'll try and keep it brief.   [00:05:08] Yes, I came out. 1990, I started in the medical device company as a development engineer in kidney dialysis units and those kinds of things.   [00:05:20] And basically, to put it very bluntly, I very rapidly got into complex problems solving some multifactor kind of complex problems that were causing major impacts to the processes. And I found that that's where the flare. So I focus more and more on that. And then as my career went on, I moved between companies. I. Became a team leader, senior engineer, then a very senior technical expert, and ended up as a master technologist, which is one of the highest levels in the corporation. But I also spent around fifteen years in and out of management roles. So managing teams of people, doing the people management as well as the technical. So I think problem solving was really the thing that unified it all. I would be the person who'd go in and take a very complex problem, multi-million dollar losses per week, say, and I would get to the bottom office as fast as possible using all the Problem-Solving tools. And there are many tools I won't last year. So in 2012, I got some kind of adverse blood tests. There just standard blood tests. And three of the measures were very far off, cholesterol and then a liver enzyme, GGP and Serum Feresten, an iron loading in the blood. And after I went through three doctors in succession over several weeks, including a professor of medicine, I couldn't get the answers to the two key questions that any complex problem that you're faced with or if you're brought in to lead it from outside. And the two questions are what are the implications of the bad metrics and what are the root causes generally that would drive those metrics to be bad so they can be addressed or at least investigated? And I couldn't get the answers from the three doctors. And I realized then something fairly profound, that if these are standard blood tests and I can't get those two questions broadly answered, there's something huge missing in medicine. There has to be I wasn't sure what it was, but I just knew there was no question about that. So I went to research gate and pop mad corporate law guns. And I started going through the last 60, 70 years of human trials, published science, biochemical science. And essentially within several weeks I'd worked through the three metrics I found the answers of the implications of them being bad, and they were pretty huge except for cholesterol. But the other two and I found the processes and I got myself to carbohydrate metabolism, excessive glucose, excessive sugars in my diet. So whole grain breads and pastas and orange juice, all that stuff. And I realized I was trying to eat a healthy wholegrain type diet and a low fat one generally. And it had completely backfired because I also discovered then that the whole thing about fat was fat wasn't really a problem at all. So I switched my diet. Eight and a half weeks later, I had lost thirty four pounds. I had my blood tests, came back fantastic. And basically everything was fixed. My blood pressure, which had been all was kind of hypertensive, was right down, but no extra exercise. So I knew then that I basically found the primary root cause. But then I got into fasting as well during that period. And essentially I began to research and that over the years releasing YouTube videos, you've seen a few. It just became my main career. You know, as though. Yeah.   [00:08:53] Did the book write itself then? Were you? I mean, I know the history of it personally, but it sounds like a personal journey.   [00:09:00] And this research that you were doing and then you came into this camaraderie with Dr. Jeffrey Gerber. Was it a combination of your own personal research or did you need to put it out there so that you had this kind of cohesive collection of information?   [00:09:16] Yeah, there were a few things just from a long time back I knew that I at some point want to write a book.   [00:09:22] I wasn't sure about what happened when this happened to me. In 2013, I released the cholesterol conundrum, which is extremely popular around the world. And that's so Gerber and all the other doctors found me originally and we struck up this kind of friendship. And we met in South Africa, the world's first low carb conference in South Africa in early fifteen. But I was basically during fifteen writing this book. And then later in fifteen, you know, I kind of linked up with Jeff and said, Hey, Jeff, you want to be a coauthor on this? And he was delighted because he could bring all of his clinical experience, clinical expertize. Twenty five years as a low carb doctor and kind of complete the package, if you will. But I did. And I'm sure he won't mind me saying this. I did write most of the book for sure in terms all the science and everything else. I mean, brought in a professional chef them to do all the recipes that you've probably seen. But a key thing as well was I got funding in 15 to really support me to be able to write the book and do many other things like travel and research outside of my main job. So that was from David Bobert, an Irish heart disease awareness charity. They found me through the same video, the cholesterol video, and wanted to support me to get the message out. So a lot of things came together. We got a professional editor from Karl Mann agencies in New York, which I was able to phone now. Otherwise, I would have done a book that would have been very different. So the professional editors, they know their craft in terms of structuring and simplifying. So I think it was way, way better as a result of that.   [00:11:02] Yeah. The book is beautiful. I must say in layout format, having come from a literary family and I appreciate the content. However, the actual graphics and the layout of it is incredibly friendly.   [00:11:13] I think you have a review on Amazon, but I was looking over that said the Kindle version is good, but that the in-person version is great. And I think it speaks to the vibrancy of not just the layout, but also the art, you know, the pictures, the photographs of the food, because it is really a part of what you're speaking to. Right. You're talking about diet and nutrition. And that's best relayed through both Visual Forum and I think lesson. I'm wondering with you, you kind of dropped a little nugget about fasting and you mentioned frequently and a lot of your other YouTube lectures and things like that that I've looked at. You have this conversation with your audience about becoming truly ketogenic and and following a keto diet and how it allowed you this freedom to kind of choose when you eat. And that parlays into this semi fasted mentality where you tend to skip lunch on certain days. You kind of choose your way in and out of meals. Can you speak to how that relationship came about?   [00:12:11] Right. Well, originally, actually, during that period of eight and a half weeks, I discovered a few weeks into low carb that my appetite came under an incredible degree of control.   [00:12:22] And this was completely new to me. I used to do triathlons and I would do huge amounts of swimming, cycling, you know, running. But when I came home, I'd be ravenous and I'd, of course, be eating lots of healthy whole grains. And what I thought at the time was healthy. But now I found when I was eating meat, fish and eggs and just low starch vegetables, I just found that my appetite, after having one good meal, was kind of suppressed for much, much longer. When I was going to eat lunch, I realized I'm not hungry like I used to be for this lunch. In fact, I could almost skip it and I began to skip meals in work because I was so busy. And then I just learned that there was a different way of living altogether that didn't involve breakfast, lunch and dinner in the evening.   [00:13:10] And also some snacks in the afternoon and maybe a bar or two in the mid-morning. I realized if you're eating meat, fish, eggs, high protein, high fat, you know, and vegetables and eating real human diet, your appetite just it just comes under your control. And because I was losing weight, I actually in fairness, during that eight 1/2 week period, I began to fast, more purposefully because I was enjoying losing the weight. And it was such fun, I decided to accelerate it, which happened so people and work out an awful shock, like in four or five, six weeks, I was completely transformed. And that was how I kind of got into the idea of fasting and skipping meals. And I also liked it. It suited me because I could really enjoy a meal then later on so I could get all my work done and put off the pleasure of the meal, which would be a good nutritious meal later on. And at the end of my labors kind of way, I could sit down and really enjoy a good meal. And that suited me. It suited my psychology. So that was kind of it just grew. And by the time it came to writing the book, I had done a lot more research on that because we are writing a book and got a little more technical about it. But in a sense, as Dr. Gerber says, rather than fasting, he thinks of it as meal skipping because you can so you save time.   [00:14:33] You can spend the time eating and work doing work, maybe finish earlier and just skip meals here and there and let your hormones, let your insulin, your glucose. Let let all that digestive process calm right down, you know, and it's just it's the right way to live. And I think evolutionarily as well, it's so appropriate. As you can imagine, though, I know that's not proof of any benefit, but it just makes sense and it gives you freedom. There's no downsides that I'm aware of.   [00:15:02] It's a laissez faire attitude about eating for sure that I don't think a lot of hyper and intense individuals in this latter day have towards food.   [00:15:11] You know, the addictive nature that we've kind of every country that I've seen ascribes to their diet, at least. And I'm wondering, do you. Have you experimented with this control? Has there come? You're a very curious individual. And has there been any curiosity about playing around with forms of fasting? Have you met at these conferences with other like minded health individuals who talk about extended fasts, or is it more about this meal skipping mentality?   [00:15:38] Yeah, it's probably more the latter. Patricia, I'm relatively casual, so I'm not really the type.   [00:15:44] I did a lot of blood measurements, blood glucose meter and ketones way, way back. And then I kind of dropped it, to be quite honest. Now, if I thought I had any kind of physiological issue that I had to address, I'd be a real metrics person, you know, because I'm an engineer. But I've kind of got more casual about that because I just feel if I'm doing things right, I occasionally take a blood glucose, but I'm not compelled to.   [00:16:07] And likewise, the fasting, I don't feel I have to keep a certain routine. So what I've kind of ended up at first sheer convenience is and to get a little longer fasting in, because I believe the longer, fastest way you really get your glucose and insulin down, I'm kind of doing one meal a day around three times a week or four. And the other three or four days, two meals a day. So that's roughly where I've settled for me. Now, I've talked to Jason Fong, many people who know Dr. Jason Fong, the fasting guru, and many other people about fasting. But I explain that I have a longer term. Fast is more like a medical intervention to me. So someone who has profound obesity or very severe insulin resistance that will is not dealt with in a normal, healthy low carb with some meals skipping can push the boundaries further. And I know Jason deals with a lot of those more challenging people. But for me, I haven't gone over 24 hours and I do anecdotally hear that there's not really much published science on it, obviously because of the nature. I anecdotally hear about some people, many people maybe more so female, maybe postmenopausal. That going beyond that 24 hours into longer term fast can just be challenging, you know, tiredness, sleep impacted. Don't feel so good. And I sense that it appears that men appear to be a little luckier in terms of fasting. There's less of that anecdotal feedback. But even myself, when I go to around 27, 28 hours, I really feel like eating. So I've never pushed true the envelope into apparently day two, where the hunger that has come on falls away again. And apparently there a utopia of healing in today, three and four. I haven't done that. But I do hear about his.   [00:18:00] Yeah. Curiosity hasn't led you there yet. Well, there's time. I wonder, with your emphasis on I were meant to ask you about that before I start the rapid fire questions with people that wrote in.   [00:18:12] In reading through your book, you do talk about faster blood glucose levels, measuring that. And it seems like you tie into you have mentioned actually a lot of your interviews as well as a very quick way to get into ketosis is through this kind of fasted state. And I'm hoping that you can kind of draw that out or enumerate that further for everyone listening.   [00:18:32] Yeah, well, my my approach to QI tells us we all know those hardcore Kiesel people who tend to push fat into their bodies with ultra low carb to kind of almost force Quito's.   [00:18:45] It's almost like eating the extra fat is creating this beneficial ketosis. And I just never perceived it that way. So my way to be in ketosis and I like to kind of go in and out of it. I'm not entirely convinced from the literature that staying hardcore Akito all the time suit's all genetic type suits everyone so well, I'm not sure now. You know, the jury's out in the sense, but what I like to do is eat low carb and then skip meals and the combination of a good, healthy, new, nutrient dense, low carb diet. It might not make you in ketosis deeply, but if you start skipping meals as well in combination with low carb, then you're going to be going in and out of ketosis in waves. And it's a great feeling and I find ketosis now. I never gone really hardcore, but it does a great feeling of mental acuity. Even so, I give an example and it's anecdotal, but when I'm speaking in a very big conference, maybe eight or nine hundred people in the audience, you know, your tension will build and you want to be at your best. And I always pretty much ensure that I'm around 24 hours fasted before I go on stage. Now, this would be a shock to the average American. You know, who if they didn't have their lunch, you know, they wouldn't be able to concentrate or Irish or anyone nowadays. I don't mean just Americans. But for me, like when you get into that 20 hours fasted. Your mental acuity, it may relate to the fact that Bayt hydroxybutyrate and ketone bodies are feeding our brain, but no one has proven that. But something changes and and you get sharper, edgier. There's a high performance feeling. So I think I've gone off the topic now. But that's why I like to go in and out of ketosis by meal, skipping and eating low carb. And I don't really target eating lots of fat and ultra low carb. Like I said, it's meat, fish, eggs. You know, all of those cheeses above ground, leafy vegetables, sometimes even a little rice. If the family is doing rice, I'll have to eat much smaller portions than I used to. But, you know, for old times sake. Bitter rice. Yeah. So it's kind of that's kind of my approach to it in terms of science. One of the interesting things I always bring up about fasting in ketosis is that everyone knows that exercise gives neurological benefits and does not does nothing faddish about that. Everyone accepts exercise is good for neurologically. But I have a paper that I was amazed to find once, and they'd looked at the whole question of why does exercise give this apparent neurological benefit, even short term? And I think it's brain derived neuropathic factor B DNF. So they went to all the biochemistry and actually found out that when you exercise beta hydroxybutyrate, ketone body rises. And their paper came to the conclusion that the increase in BHB was one of the primary mechanisms that was supportive of neurological function. So it's interesting to think that you can almost fasting is almost like exercise of the pill away and some other papers like that. I love ones that integrate the benefit of exercise and the benefit of the right foods or fasting behaviors into a kind of more unified thing. Those reasons, all these different things are healthy and a lot of the biochemical pathways overlap. So anyway, I just I just thought I'd throw that out there.   [00:22:21] Well, yeah. And I think that part of the problem with Western medicine in at least in the early part of the nineteen hundreds, was that, you know, and this necessary isolation view.   [00:22:30] But nothing exists in a vacuum, certainly not any system within the human body. And so to not consider other factors would be, I think, to introduce the concept that you love of black swans. You know, with them, with engineering and these kinds of flying in the face of the hypothesis moment. And so I like that you stay open to the inclusive city measure while always looking for things that disprove that. I'm wondering, with what you've said about fast before I drop into the rapid fire questions. You do, have you haven't you explained Fats? And I think it's important with people who do low carb, who don't practice, actually those who practice Vegan diets as well. But there is a very clear distinction between fats for you as well as carbohydrates. And I'm wondering if you can draw those out quickly, because I think I always preferred people to say low refined carbohydrates, because almost everything in the human diet, aside from straight fat, has carbohydrates in it. And I think what most people on a low carb centric diet or way of life are looking at refined carbohydrates. So if you could just drive for you, if you could define those terms as to how you define carbohydrates when you talk about low carbohydrates as well as healthy versus non healthy fats.   [00:23:47] Gotcha. OK. How can I do this efficiently? Well, I'd say upfront what I generally say to lay people who are not going to get into the whole falsies stuff. I say to them, look, there's the what I call Satan's triad or the devil's triad that's caused a lot of modern chronic disease, sugar, refined carbohydrates, refined grains and vegetable oils, these fake factory oils, I call them.   [00:24:11] So those three things are the primary components and most ultra processed food.   [00:24:16] So if you cut out ultra processed food and those three components greatly, you know, for most people, that'll be the vast amount of the benefit they're going to get. I'm honest about it. And then if you want to go low carb, you know, you're going to be careful with the not quite so bad carbs, like fibrous carbs or even for details in moderation. If you want to really go towards ketosis and then the non starchy vegetables are fine. So broccoli, cauliflower and all those carbs and avocados and lots of things. So I kind of say that first. So in terms of refined carbs. Absolutely, Patricia. That's the real devil in the room rather than carbs in general. And I give the example in the book of the catarrh funds, and they're around sixty five percent carb in their diet, which is actually high carb. But again, they're eating nutrient dense fish and meats and another good stuff. And the carbs are eating or like I think contains on the high fiber, low blood sugar spike carbohydrates. And they were eating this high carb diet all their lives and they never got access to refined carb sugars or vegetable oils. So any human who from birth. Right. True. Never gets access to the three. I think they can eat a whole range of diets. No problem. They're never going to be diabetic or obese. So it's when you get a population that those three components have come into and the population becomes diabetic and obese. Now you've got people who are carbohydrate intolerant, generally insulin resistance, and then they have to also maybe be very careful with carbohydrate foods that may be an ancestral person wouldn't have to worry too much about. So I kind of say everything is nuanced on the fats then. So saturated fats from real Whole Foods sources. Fine. And any fats from real Whole Foods sources are fine. The problem, again, I'll have to say it, are the added fats and oils, particularly vegetable oils in all the factory oils, basically, and seed oils. Another name for them. And then you could say that the omega three fats are good to keep, you know, good and high in your diet. Not just not to be low. So eat the fatty fish and get your omega three. Good. And no problem. And saturated fat and omega six kind of polyunsaturated fats that are in the vegetable oils that are a problem. My general part is if they're in real whole foods and the balanced diet, I would not worry about excessive omega six fats. I would only worry about them really coming from added oils of a vegetable oil nature. So that's kind of the fats, really, put simply. And I think I've kind of Kollberg covered the carbs as well. Good versus bad, roughly.   [00:27:09] Absolutely. And I'm wondering and I think your book does a good job about talking about Whole Foods and how, you know, the supplementation of fats is not to seek out fat, but rather supplement those calories with the nasty carbohydrate calories that you're removing. And so that augmentation makes a lot of sense for the reader, at least it did for me. All right. Moving on to the Rapid Fire. So we had a lot of questions asking about and because of the work that you've done as over the past two years and with the launch of the book in 2018, where do you see the most research needing to be headed or headed towards this low carb and or fasting scientific research?   [00:27:53] Right. Well, I think probably the big gap for me personally or see Ts are randomized control trials are generally designed for drug treatments. So you've got your, say, statton drug and you've got a placebo inert. And the RC teas are usually Dohm, which is one intervention, you know, and that and that makes sense in a certain way. But I would love to see an R t that adds together a multi factor approach. So a standard a kind of heart association, kind of low fat diet, but pitched against a low carb, nutrient dense kind of healthy diet of my defining. OK. Including some element of fasting that's tracked. So you can work out from the data afterwards. Some people may do more, some may do less. But you can work it out at the end of the trial. Add in vitamins and minerals. Not too many Bacau ones like magnesium, potassium, add in sun exposure and ultraviolet light exposure, which gives us way more than vitamin D and like do it, do an experiment, a human trial that admittedly the ethics committees don't like these.   [00:29:08] They like to see one intervention. Simple, but I think we're missing out on doing a multi factor intervention of all of what we know is synergistically going to boost health and do all that cluster of things together. Well-documented, undefined, you know, no hiding, no secret changes. What? Just do it against the control of the standard low fat diet on what the Orthodox authorities tell us to do and then pitch. Pitch my system up against that. I'd love to if that experiment was done. I'm not sure of what lever happened.   [00:29:44] Oh, I hope so. That sounds fun and kind of along those same lines of research. And and what you endeavor to do. We had a lot of questions regarding how you curate the research. You do. You're one human being. And so even with a team of researchers, how do you curate what you look at, what you incorporate, what you also kind of allow into the metrics of your theories and philosophy?   [00:30:08] Yeah, well, I kind of you I'm a lone wolf, to be quite honest, I have no staff.   [00:30:12] I have nothing. So what I do is I research our research, our research. And I have around probably nearly 3000 published papers on my hard drive under myriad different directories and topics. And I have a good memory for these things. So like when people ask me about a study, I'll say, oh yeah, that one was a rats. And there was a four percent threshold of adding omega six for a mammary. Tumors were increased in size, but after four percent add, there was a threshold effect. And I'll usually remember studies even though there's so many. So I have an informal system of directories, but I generally do is I take topics of my greatest interest. So for the movie we made extra time movie dot com. We were involved with a scanning forty five ads, guys in their 50s X sportsmen.   [00:31:05] We found that some amazing stuff. And we also followed a guy who reversed his score and he did all the stuff we're talking about to do that.   [00:31:13] But during the making of that movie, I went deep dove on the mechanisms of calcification, you know, medial versus into more calcification kidney disease and the mineral based calcification that occurs in that. So, again, I went much deeper into the mechanisms because I felt as the movie came out, we really wanted to thoroughly know the state of the art and the science of exactly why calcium may leach back out of Arthur almost as plaques, why it's actually gathered. And it's just an example. During that period, I did a ton of work on that. And another recent example was I finally got the chance to meet Professor Vladimir Subaltern. And I released the podcast a few weeks ago, but I met him in Crossfade headquarters in Santa Cruz last November and I did a ton of work researching on the pathways of cholesterol and LDL particles from the Luman into the Intermap, all of the diffusion coefficients and all of so Boltons science where the cholesterol comes in from the outside of the wall of the artery.   [00:32:25] So Vaslav a Sorum and the lymphatic system that drains cholesterol out of the arterial wall, I discovered that HDL good cholesterol. People know that it takes the cholesterol out of your artery wall. But what I found out was it takes it out to the outside. It doesn't take it back into the blood.   [00:32:46] So let's just say during that journey that I may be another hundred and twenty published papers on my hard drive. And I've gone through all of the made notes in the margin. And then what I do is I produce talks. So one way for me to kind of store the research, other high level, useful for real people is I'll do a talk maybe an hour, 50 minutes, and I'll do all the diagrams and slides to explain it to a lay person. But behind it, there might be a hundred published papers and maybe, I dunno, three, four or five hundred hours of research. But all those papers and references are there. When people ask about an aspect of the talk, I'll immediately just email them the paper. So it's kind of informal, but I'm very dynamic and these things, you know.   [00:33:35] Yeah, absolutely, and you talk about I mean, just to kind of unpack a little bit of what you were saying.   [00:33:41] If I could be so bold from what I garnered without having looked at all of the research, you were kind of getting into a lot of the five markers when you're talking about the build up and the X exposing in that lead to like a coronary episode. Right. And also other things that have been affiliated with it, like cancer and things like that. And those are low HDL or good waist size hypertension, blood sugar. And then you kind of we're getting into the very specifics of the plaque within what's found in a C.T. scan.   [00:34:12] Yeah. And this was found in the C.T. scan, the C.A.C. score, that's the best measure of your degree of heart disease and degree of risk.   [00:34:19] So if you get a zero score at middle age and it simply sees the calcium in your coronary arteries and the inflammatory disease of atherosclerosis driven by vegetable oils and refined grains and on an insulin resistance. Well, all of those things and more lead to pressure on your arterial wall and lead to inflammation, inflammatory forces on the body. When you develop these plaque brings in calcium at a certain stage to try and stabilize these, that could rupture. So the calcium that comes in is is a bone formation process and quite complex and not fully understood, even with all the papers I Gartner's. And this scan can simply see the calcium like an x ray. So if you have a zero score, it means there's no detectable calcium, which means you've developed very little plaque. You haven't even reached the stage that your body is reacting to. And therefore, your risk is very low. Maybe one or two percent risk in the next 10 years of a heart attack. And if you have a very high score, like my sponsor, David Bobert, nearly a thousand at the age of 52, you have an enormous risk, maybe 25, 30 percent. So the measure of the calcium in the C.A.C. score in the scan. That's the best measure of risk. But what causes that then exactly? You mentioned there the five criteria of the metabolic syndrome, which is insulin resistance syndrome, which is essentially type two diabetes.   [00:35:51] And you got your low HDL. You've got your high triglycerides. You got your high blood sugar. You've got your high waist size. And you've got your hypertension, blood pressure. And they're pretty good. Five metrics. I would add in serum feresten. I would add in Jegede T Gamma illusional transfer as they were the two I had high rise and they are good markers to for metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance syndrome. And there are lots of other good markers. But I would say if people really wanted a simple way to check themselves out, if you just got a fasting glucose and a fasting blood insulin and you put them in the home calculator, it's online h.o. m.a calculator, you get your home resists our insulin resistance index. And if that's below one point two, you're pretty good. Non diabetic and it is above one point eight or you're you're probably in trouble. So that's a really easy way to skip all the other measures. And a lot of people like that one.   [00:36:53] And your book, Eat Rich Live Long talks about the tests that you should really just garner an understanding for as you begin the journey of looking and endeavoring into the advice there.   [00:37:04] So I think that's good to know and it's good for people to have understand what those results mean and most importantly, that those are all, you know, retractable. A lot of those those results can be fixed very, very quickly with a correction in diet, which obviously is is the main ethos of eat live long. I'm curious, you have a section in the book and we've had a lot of people. Right. And talking about vitamin and mineral supplementation. And you you advise as specific vitamin A mineral protocol. I won't list them off here, but we do a lot of people. Right. And asking if you consider there to be a chief like catch a multivitamin that hits all of your core constituents. And that advice.   [00:37:47] Yes. OK. In terms of products. Well, actually, going forward, I have got a new friend, a Goodbody, who is a nutraceutical manufacturing plant on the other side of the world.   [00:37:56] So I am going to be getting more into vitamins and minerals research. So I did enough in the past for the bulk, but I'm probably going to be getting into that more in terms of multivitamins. I've never really looked at them, but I generally do as I get magnesium, potassium, that's magnesium, separate potassium chloride. We have iodine there and see kelp and does a couple more than me think, oh well, the vitamin D though I prefer to get that from my UV lamp and from the sun because that way you get nitric oxide and other folder chemicals. But the vitamin D, if you can't get that, is another important one. And that's kind of that cluster there. I mean, you could say chromium is important, too. There's quite a bit out there on that. But that cluster of around five or the key ones for me. Now, obviously, there's loads more vitamins and minerals that could be beneficial. I never got into the vitamin C thing. I think that if you're eating a very healthy diet, well-balanced, you should be OK anyway. But I notice a lot of people feel very strongly about taking higher doses of vitamin C. I've never been overly convinced that the science behind, rather than just being sufficient and not insufficient, actually getting a lot of it into you. And it's something that I've made a note I must circle back to some day. But a lot of people say to me, Ivor, why don't you talk about vitamin C? It's magic. And I've just never been convinced of that. Yes.   [00:39:27] Yeah, absolutely. Well, I've heard it. We're running out of time. And I mean, I apologize in advance to my audience. I'm going to try and quarantine you again, no pun intended.   [00:39:35] And before I let you go, I'm hoping to ask you a bunch of people ask what your future plans of study and speaking abroad. Given that, you know, people aren't traveling as much right now, have you looked forward to 2020, 2021? And do you have any kind of a sneak peak you can offer us?   [00:39:54] Yeah, well, actually, because unfortunately, sadly, the Irish heart disease awareness funding was supported true business and the impact has been enormous with Korona. And so I'm kind of moving on from that now, largely. So I'm going to have to find alternative sources of support. So I will be probably developing into having some kind of patrie on. I'm talking to people in the U.S. about developing a nutritional program for training medical people. So their connections who have come to me. So that will be a role I left to spend time on and of course, do more research around vitamins, minimal minerals, nutrition at all. I have a lot of it already.   [00:40:35] And there's a few more projects as well, that there's one where there's an insurance company in the US. Very large insurance company. And they want to get their people healthier because obviously they'll save an enormous amount in terms of medical bills. So very large amounts to savings. So I may be doing a program with them, with a couple of other doctors who again came and found me. And then there's conferences I just came out of low carb Sydney. Well, it was actually called low carb international all stars, but it was online. But there are going to be more veny torture trick on the West Coast is doing a conference, I think is the end of June. Dr. Burgs, Quito's so much this year is gonna be virtual. So I'm gonna be at that and does the series more of those. Let me see what else. Several more projects I may take on depending.   [00:41:28] But I've got to pick my winners because, you know, I've got a family, five children, and I'm going to have to pick things now that are more commercially minded than I would have had two in the past. And I've also got my pal in Extend Life dot com. New Zealand, an excellent manufacturer of vitamins and minerals. So I'll probably be working with him, helping him research the best ones for heart disease, reversal, etc., and engaging to some degree and maybe offering discounts to my followers and some of those products.   [00:42:01] So really a lot of balls in the air at the moment. And I just have to do my more engineering manager role now and actually program manage all these different potential projects. I make sure I get I do the the best use of my time.   [00:42:18] Absolutely. I think 20 twenty one is the year of the pivot and the juggle for a lot of people. So it sounds like you're no exception to that. Ivor, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. I really do appreciate you taking time out of your really busy schedule and giving us all of your knowledge.   [00:42:34] Not at all. Thanks a lot, Patricia. We should talk again sometime.   [00:42:37]  I'll make sure of that. And for everyone listening, thank you for giving us your time. We've been speaking with Ivor Cummins. He is author, engineer and speaker. You can find out more on his Web site, the fat, poor dot com.   [00:42:53] And until we speak again next time, remember to stay safe. Well, when you do eat and always count on yourself. Slainte.

Before I describe this week's episode, I would like to remind you to join my new "The Keto Leader" Facebook group at https://facebook.com/groups/theketoleader About this weeks episode... Want to know how to effectively start and be successful on a keto nutrition plan? Ivor Cummins explains in his latest book, Eat Rich Live Long. He co-authored the book with Jeffry Gerber, MD.  Ivor was an engineer prior to embarking on his keto journey and now has become an expert in the ketogenic lifestyle. Join us to learn more about Ivor and his latest book.

Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI is a chemical engineer and has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. He was shortlisted in 2015 as one of the top 6 of 500 applicants for “Irish Chartered Engineer of the Year”. Ivor has had a prolific career leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios. He has often led worldwide teams with over 60-70 engineers working on major technical issues; the largest of these involved product issues where hundreds of millions of dollars were in the balance. Several years ago, Ivor encountered a complex technical challenge in his personal life. Receiving poor blood test results, he was unable to get solutions from multiple doctors. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Within eight weeks he had resolved and optimized all of his blood test metrics and had shed over 33lb of body fat with relative ease. In the following years he continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. In order to help stem the tide of chronic disease in our modern population, he embarked on a personal mission to share the science and solutions. He began this process by giving corporate talks and releasing them on YouTube for the wider audience. He has since become a professional speaker of note, giving many public lectures and chairing interviews with worldwide health experts. Most notably he was invited by the President of the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) to give a keynote talk on heart disease root causes at their annual conference in London in October 2017.

Dr. Jeffry Gerber and Ivor Cummins may just be the Batman and Robin of the low carb world. They have been teaching the benefits of low carb living for years and they recently co-authored the book Eat Rich Live Long, a must read for the low-carb enthusiast. They really do make the perfect team. Dr. Jeff has over a decade of clinical experience helping his patients reverse insulin resistance, diabetes and other chronic diseases using low-carb diets, and Ivor exemplifies the growing group of engineers-turned-health advocates who’s command of medical literature is unparalleled by most PhD’s. Together they present a scientific and practical approach to making a low carb lifestyle work for you. This was a fun and engaging interview that I know you will enjoy!

Today We Finally Get to Talk Healthy Fats Science with Ivor Cummins Also Known As The Fat Emperor From Dublin Ireland:  Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP® completed a Chemical Engineering in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions, and was shortlisted in 2015 as one of the top 6 of 500 applicants for “Irish Chartered Engineer of the Year”. Ivor’s focus and specialty are leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios. He has often led worldwide teams with over 60-70 engineers working on major technical issues; the largest of these involved product issues where hundreds of millions of dollars were in the balance. Several years ago, Ivor encountered a complex technical challenge in his personal life. Receiving poor blood test results, he was unable to get solutions via the doctors consulted. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Within eight weeks he had resolved and optimized all of his blood test metrics. Also, he had shed over 15Kg of body fat with relative ease. In the following years, he continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. In order to help stem the tide of chronic disease in our modern population, he embarked on a personal mission to share the science and solutions. He began this process by giving corporate talks and releasing them on YouTube for the wider audience. He has since become a professional speaker of note, giving many public lectures and chairing interviews with worldwide health experts. Most notably he was invited by the President of the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) to give a keynote talk on heart disease root causes, at their annual conference in London last October. All of Ivor’s public lectures and interviews are available on  Ivor's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPn4FsiQP15nudug9FDhluA) , where well over a million views have been recorded to date: His book on chronic disease root causes and resolution strategies (co-authored with Denver doctor Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP) was released in the US and Canada in March 2018. It has already received around 150 reviews on Amazon, of which ~97% are 5-stars, check out Eat Rich Live Long on Amazon (https://amzn.to/2C5fjno) ! His blog and other content is available at www.thefatemperor.com (http://www.thefatemperor.com) From early 2018 Ivor has been fully funded by the Irish Heart Disease Awareness charity ( www.IHDA.ie (http://www.IHDA.ie) ). This fulfills their mission in enabling all middle-risk people to access the power of the Coronary Artery Calcification scan (CAC). He has thus ramped up his passion to help the people help themselves – in a journey to health, weight-loss, and longevity. Ivor lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife and five children. On This Episode You Will Hear:[spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction [spp-timestamp time="02:51"] What's a stag party and hen party in Ireland. [spp-timestamp time="04:20"] Scott and Ivor connect on chainsaws, farming, and more. Giant gardens, before poisons, pesticides and chemicals and all this other stuff. Ivor only remembered nitrate fertilizer which was spread on the grass. You learn as well did the value of hard work. I mean, we have to work 14 hour days sometimes bringing in that hey. [spp-timestamp time="08:02"] Scott shares his Irish bloodlines plus 23andme DNA analysis. Talking fatty coffee, don't need to call it bulletproof, using Kerrygold Grass Fed Irish Butter. Ivor generally doesn't really eat breakfast anymore but makes a French press or espresso coffee. As it happens, he's not crazy about the butter in the coffee and the little globules. So he puts in heavy cream aka Irish double cream. [spp-timestamp time="10:10"] Ivor didn't want to come across as arrogant

Ivor walks us through HDL, VLDL, LDL, SLDL, Ferritin, and GGT. Throughout we discuss diet and lifestyle factors affecting your health along with key markers to test. If you are middle aged, Ivor definitely wants you to get your Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC) which could save your life. Janet and I got ours and it was $280 each in total. Be sure to check the graphics in the video that I added to support some of the complex things Ivor explains. See notes below to link to his book, his website, the documentary he mentions, or to skip to certain topics in the video. Also be sure to check out www.cholesterolcode.com for more information on Dave Feldman's work and research on Lean Mass Hyper Responders. This is a great resource that we mentioned within the video.
