Is nutrition research getting the support it needs to inform public health policy?Despite the rise in chronic diseases related to lifestyle factors like diet, nutrition research only receives $2.2 billion of the $30 billion NIH budget.At first glance, this may seem like a lot of money, but its utilization is spread thin, and, as Dr. David Ludwig and Gary Taubes highlight in this interview, it's primarily used to fund misleading short term trials that confirm existing nutrition biases.However, if we want to actually address the chronic disease epidemic, we must increase the resources allocated to nutrition research AND the quality of that research.In this video, journalist Gary Taubes and Harvard endocrinologist Dr. David Ludwig expose the core problems in today's most cited nutrition studies and offer a bold new path forward.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why short-term feeding studies can't tell us much about chronic diseaseHow confirmation bias shapes which nutrition studies get funded, published, and accepted by the medical community and policy makersThe major flaws in NIH-funded research comparing low-carb vs. low-fat dietsWhy the focus on ultra-processed foods is only part of the solutionHow we could design better long-term studies that actually help people get healthierIt's time to question the status quo and demand better utilization of research funds to inform public health policy in a way that can impactfully improve the health of our population.We encourage you to share this interview so more people can understand the flaws in existing nutrition science and what we can do to fix it.Expert Featured:Gary Taubeshttp://x.com/garytaubes?lang=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-taubes-942a6459/Dr. David Ludwig, MDhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davidludwigmd/https://x.com/davidludwigmdResources Mentioned:Studieshttps://doi.org/10.1136/bmj-2024-082963https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.10.03.23296501https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2673150https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1212914https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2019.05.008Short-term diet trials are designed to failhttps://www.statnews.com/2025/04/22/nutrition-precision-health-short-term-diet-trials-chronic-disease-food/Gary's Substack Articlehttps://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/p/nih-has-a-nutrition-problem-partCMEs Mentioned:Managing Major Mental Illness with Dietary Change: The New Science of Hopehttps://www.mycme.com/courses/managing-major-mental-illness-with-dietary-change-9616Brain Energy: The Metabolic Theory of Mental Illnesshttps://www.mycme.com/courses/brain-energy-the-metabolic-theory-of-mental-illness-9615Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

In this landmark 200th episode of "Stay Off My Operating Table," Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald sit down with investigative journalist Gary Taubes, whose work fundamentally changed Dr. Ovadia's approach to medicine and personal health. Taubes recounts his journey from physics journalism to nutrition science, where he discovered a field plagued by confirmation bias and reluctance to challenge established beliefs. He explains the profound difference between observational studies that merely suggest correlations and clinical trials that can prove causation, highlighting how the conventional wisdom on nutrition persists despite mounting contradictory evidence. The conversation explores why nutritional science has remained resistant to correction for decades while fields like physics quickly abandon disproven theories. Taubes discusses the compelling evidence supporting low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets and questions why the medical establishment continues to recommend diets rich in whole grains when many thrive without them. This thought-provoking discussion challenges listeners to distinguish between "diet by hypothesis" and "diet by experience" while examining the profound impact nutritional policy has had on public health.BIG IDEAThe conventional nutrition advice we've received for decades is based on observational studies showing what healthy people eat rather than experimental evidence showing which diets actually make people healthier when tested.Gary Taubes Contact InfoWebsite: https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/Website: https://garytaubes.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

There has been a fundamental shift in understanding metabolic health and chronic disease, particularly Type 2 diabetes, challenging long-standing dietary dogma by emphasizing that insulin resistance is largely driven by overconsumption of refined carbohydrates, not dietary fat or red meat. While highlighting the success of carbohydrate restriction and ketogenic approaches, nutrition is being seen as a powerful tool for reversing diabetes—often more effective and sustainable than conventional medication. The implications are far-reaching, not only for individual health outcomes, but also for reshaping public health strategies in addressing today's chronic disease epidemic. In this episode, I speak with Gary Taubes, Sami Inkinen, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty about an approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes that works. I also discuss how red meat is not to blame, but we should be looking at high sugar and starch diets. Gary Taubes is an award-winning science and health journalist, and co-founder and director of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI). He is the author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat, Good Calories, Bad Calories, and, most recently, The Case for Keto. Gary is a former staff writer for Discover and correspondent for Science. He has written three cover articles on nutrition and health for The New York Times Magazine, and his writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, Esquire, and numerous "best of" anthologies, including The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010). He has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers, and is also the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. He lives in Oakland, CA. Sami Inkinen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Virta Health, a pioneer in reversing diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes through a nutrition-first approach. Sami's personal connection to diabetes and passion to advance global health was the motivation behind Virta and its innovative care model. Previously, Inkinen was the co-founder of the leading online real estate marketplace Trulia, serving as its COO and president and board member until its IPO and eventual sale to Zillow Group. Dr. Greeshma Shetty, board certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, currently serves as a Lead Clinician in the Virta Medical Group and the Director of Quality and Safety at Virta Health. Prior to joining Virta, she was clinical physician educator at Harvard Medical School, where she directed the combined Joslin - Beth Israel Deaconess Endocrine Fellowship program and Co-Directed the Asian American Diabetes Initiative. She is dedicated to clinical excellence, leveraging health technology, transforming healthcare delivery, driving health equity and building high performing teams.

At 51 years old, Chris Cornell (@BiggestComeback on X) found himself weighing 278 pounds, struggling to regain control of his health and fitness. Despite decades of trying various methods, nothing seemed to work. That was until he reached out to a doctor friend who recommended Gary Taubes's book, "Why We Get Fat."   This book was the catalyst Chris needed. It introduced him to the concept of a low carbohydrate diet, which ultimately helped him lose 80 pounds of body fat sustainably. But more than the diet, it was the act of reaching out for help and receiving personalized advice that made a significant impact. Chris learned the importance of seeking guidance and the value of a supportive community. Over the next six years, Chris not only maintained his weight loss but also applied the principles he learned to other aspects of his life. He built a following of nearly 50,000 people on Twitter, sharing his journey and helping others with their struggles. His story took another turn in October 2018 when he was diagnosed with cancer. The mental and physical resilience he developed during his weight loss journey played a crucial role in his fight against cancer. Chris's journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you're struggling with weight, health issues, or simply looking for inspiration, his story offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to the podcast episode to hear more about Chris's incredible transformation and the lessons he's learned along the way.     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.

What makes us fat? It's a contentious debate in the world of health science. Is obesity caused by energy imbalance — consuming too many calories — as has long been conventional thought? Or is obesity caused by the effects of carbohydrates on insulin? My guest on today's program attended an invite-only global gathering of obesity experts. The resulting paper in Nature Metabolism, co-authored with fifteen other researchers and published this fall, compares the two competing hypotheses side-by-side, as equals. Which, my guest writes, “has never before happened in the century-plus history of meaningful research on the cause of obesity.”Gary Taubes is an award-winning investigative science and health journalist.

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Chris S. Cornell's story begins at a turning point in his life. At the age of 51, he found himself at a weight of 278 pounds, facing the realization that his health was spiraling out of control. Years of consuming foods that undermined his well-being had taken their toll. Even simple tasks, like climbing a flight of stairs, left him gasping for air. It was at this critical moment that Chris decided to take action and find a solution that would change his life forever. In his search for answers, Chris discovered the transformative power of a low-carb lifestyle. Inspired by Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat," he experienced a lightbulb moment while reading about how carbohydrates produce different effects in the body compared to proteins or fats. This newfound understanding ignited a spark of confidence within Chris—a belief that this could finally be the last weight loss journey of his life. In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Chris talk about… How Chris' personal health journey led him to low carb Chris' cancer diagnosis and how his dietary change aided his recovery Running, exercise, and nutrition The endurance athlete mentality Ultra-running and preparing for marathons Chris' recent dietary experiment with Joel Bikman's meal replacement shake, HLTH Code Why a ‘weight loss at all costs' mentality is not necessarily healthy Chris' upcoming and current pursuits in the realm of nutrition and coaching For more information, please see the links below.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Kristin Hieshetter is a renowned functional health expert and the passionate host of "Functional Health Radio." With a significant background in uncovering the intricate connections between lifestyle choices and chronic diseases, Dr. Hieshetter dedicates her career to inspiring individuals to maximize their health potential. She holds an authoritative voice in health circles, driven by a mission to debunk health myths and propagate awareness, particularly focusing on the detrimental effects of sugar. Episode Summary: In this gripping episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the alarming trajectories of life expectancy and chronic disease in the United States, spotlighting the pivotal role of sugar in these trends. The episode kicks off with startling statistics that underline the declining life expectancy and the rise in childhood chronic illness. Dr. Hieshetter poses essential questions about the state of healthcare and sets the stage for an eye-opening discussion on the sugar consumption epidemic. Transitioning into a three-part series, Dr. Hieshetter introduces her bold initiative to tackle sugar's insidious impact on health. With clear references to historical shifts in sugar consumption and its correlation with rising diseases, she draws from Gary Taubes' book, "The Case Against Sugar," to enlighten listeners. The episode intricately covers the history of diabetes, traces the staggering increase in sugar consumption, underscores the addictive nature of sugar, and unravels the manipulative tactics of the sugar industry alongside governmental endorsements. As Dr. Hieshetter lays out the foundation of this sugar epidemic, she prepares the audience for subsequent episodes that will dissect the bad science that declared sugar as health food and unfairly demonized fat. Key Takeaways: Historical Context of Diabetes: The rarity of diabetes in the 19th century rapidly shifted to epidemic levels by the mid-20th century, driven significantly by increased sugar consumption. Sugar Consumption Stats: From six pounds per year per person in the 19th century to a staggering 160 pounds by the 2020s, American sugar consumption has skyrocketed. Addictive Nature of Sugar: Sugar is identified as a psychoactive toxin more addictive than cocaine, deeply intertwined with industries like tobacco to enhance addictive properties. Role of World War Two: Government and military endorsements of sugar, linking it to combat effectiveness, led to a massive influx of sugary products to troops and, subsequently, civilian life post-war. Implications Beyond Diabetes: The episode broadens the horizon on sugar's detrimental health effects, linking it to obesity, fatty liver disease, dementia, Alzheimer's, and heart disease. Notable Quotes: "We are walking around in the most amazing, intelligent, responsive, adapting, and aware system in the world, the human body. Let's bring it to its fullest potential." "High fructose corn syrup and sucrose are both drivers of chronic diseases that are most likely to kill us and accelerate our aging process." "Sugar is a uniquely toxic compound because it does its damage over a series of decades." "In a study in rats, sugar was more addicting than heroin and cocaine." "By the 1920s, sugar refineries were producing as much sugar in one day as it would have taken them ten years to produce in the 1820s." Resources: The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes CDC Vital Statistics Report 2021 National Institute of Health - Fatty Liver Disease Functional Health Mastery Join us next week as Dr. Hieshetter continues unraveling the truth behind sugar, with a focused discussion on the bad science that turned sugar into health food.

As far back as the sixth century B.C., physicians have looked to treat diabetes through diet. Today, it is estimated that over 30 million Americans have been diagnosed with this chronic disease and up to 9 million suffer undiagnosed. In RETHINKING DIABETES: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments (Knopf, Nonfiction; January 2, 2024), Gary Taubes explores the history of diabetes research to look towards more effective treatment in the future. Delving into the history of diabetes research shows at times conflicting and contradictory medical advice. Taubes re-examines this research alongside the most recent studies to provide new insight that shows the current standard treatment is not enough. He argues for doctors to look beyond prescribing drugs to incorporate dietary and lifestyle changes as an essential part of treatment. In his latest book, Taubes challenges conventional medical thinking to reveal the limits of medical science for diabetes treatment. The proposed changes in RETHINKING DIABETES could revolutionize how people live with diabetes and help the millions of Americans struggling for years to come.

Did you know that doctors were treating diabetic patients with high-fat low-carb diets all the way back in the 1700s? Though high-fat ketogenic diets were found to effectively treat diabetes for over a century, they were largely abandoned due to the rapid adoption of insulin in the 1920s, which was considered then to be a miracle cure. Prioritizing drugs over lifestyle with insulin therapy, however, led to unexpected long term complications in patients, including damage to large and small blood vessels that results in heart disease, strokes, kidney damage, neuropathy, amputations, blindness, dementia, and a decrease in life expectancy. Once a rare condition, diabetes is now so common that drugstores dedicate entire aisles to it. One in every $4 spent in American healthcare goes to diabetic patients, with over $300 billion in direct costs every year. The Diabetes story is a metaphor of the rapid adoption of a wonder drug without knowing the long term consequences. And in an age when Hollywood influencers in the media are touting the seemingly miraculous benefits of our latest weight loss wonder drugs GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, it's worth examining the long term risks and consequences of heavy handed pharmaceutical interventions. Today, we're back with our friend Gary Taubes, an award-winning investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author of “Why We Get Fat” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” as well as his new book “Rethinking Diabetes.” Gary has dedicated his work to dismantling conventional nutritional theory with his research lectures and books. And at this point, Gary is better versed in diabetes literature than pretty much anyone alive. In this episode, we're chatting about: Why lifestyle interventions that effectively treated diabetes for over a century were abandoned by the medical establishmentHow flawed dietary guidelines in the 1970s recommended high-carb diets for heart health without evidenceWhy the modern push for plant-based diets is based on bad science and misconceived journalismWhy the wide adoption of diabetes and weight loss wonder drugs like GLP-1 agonists should raise long term safety and side effect concerns And much, much more…Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/gary-taubes-unintended-consequences-of-weight-loss-wonder-drugs/ Check out and support Gary Taubes at unsettledscience.substack.comJoin The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

Doctors and scientists have been studying how our diet affects our health since the 18th century. But despite technological advancements and varying hypotheses over the years, there's a chance that the wisdom of the 1700s might be more accurate than more recent beliefs on how food contributes to our overall health. Gary Taubes is an investigative health science journalist and the author of books like Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments and Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It. For decades, he's studied the history of diabetes and obesity research and found instance after instance of faulty science that's led to some of the most widely accepted beliefs about metabolic health.Gary and Greg deep dive into the centuries-long history of diabetes and obesity research, including some of the major moments and breakthroughs like the discovery of insulin. They also discuss what makes some science bad science, modern misconceptions about obesity and its causes, and the surprising impact WWII had on obesity research. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What is an allegiance bias?38:59: It's the first hypothesis that tends to have such an advantage over all those that follow. That the others have to then try and replace that, and then more and more people buy into that first hypothesis and believe it, and they base their treatments on it, and they write papers and textbooks about it. They've become more and more biased. I was just speaking to a nutritionist 80-year-old tremendous nutritionist the other day who used the phrase allegiance bias. So you develop an allegiance to what you believe, to the technologies you're using, to the therapies you're giving, and to what your colleagues believe. And all of these reasons are why scientists are supposed to express hypotheses with such humility. You get an idea of what's working and what's not, and you voice it with incredible humility because the worst thing that can happen is that it be wrong and be embraced. And it's the easiest thing to have.Rethinking conventional wisdom in health01:09:16: The internet took away the gatekeepers. So for anyone who's suffering from obesity or diabetes, if the conventional wisdom works for you, then you're fine, right? You eat a little less, you exercise, and you don't live with obesity anymore—end of story. You don't need blood sugar medications, but if you've tried the conventional wisdom, as I think most people do, and it fails, then you start looking for alternatives.What makes a good scientist?24:34: When you do an experiment, you learn how you screwed up if you're a good scientist because, by definition, you're always doing something no one's ever done before because it's boring to do stuff that people have done before. So you're always doing something new. You're always working at the limits of what your apparatus or your observational equipment can do. And 99 times out of 100, you're going to screw up that first time out, and then you're going to learn how you screw up and you're going to fix it. And you iterate your way toward what you hope is truth.Show Links:Recommended Resources:CERNBradford Hill criteriaJohn RolloElliott P.

Today, I am excited to share the first class in a series of lipid masterclasses with the amazing Dr. Thomas Dayspring! Dr. Dayspring is certified in internal medicine and clinical epidemiology and is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association. He was previously the Educational Director of a nonprofit organization and has served as the Chief Academic Advisor for two major cardiovascular labs.  Due to the in-depth nature of my discussions with Dr. Dayspring over several sessions, each lasting nearly six hours, it seemed logical to present these masterclasses in segmented chunks to make them easier to understand. In our first class today, we dive into the fundamentals, exploring what lipids are and how lipids and fatty acids are classified. We cover the physiology and transportation of cholesterol and the role of apoptosis, apo-proteins, and apo-lipoproteins, unravel the differences between HDL, LDL, IDL, and VLDL, and explain how to calculate LDLs and triglycerides for assessing metabolic health. Dr. Dayspring also shares his preferences regarding lab values and the indicators that provide information to help him determine the early risk of cardiovascular disease. We get into some detailed aspects of physical chemistry in this episode, so I highlight the main clinical points throughout our conversation to make it more understandable. Be sure to join Dr. Dayspring and me for our next episode in the lipid masterclass series. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: What are lipids, and why are they important? Dr. Dayspring explains what triglycerides are. How lipids get absorbed and transported throughout the body What lipoproteins are, and how they get classified How cholesterols get calculated The impact of triglycerides on cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health How high triglyceride levels can indicate early insulin resistance or increased ASCVD risk What is the role of HDL particles? How metabolic syndrome impacts cardiovascular health Bio: Thomas Dayspring MD is a Fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association and is certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology. After practicing in New Jersey for 37 years, in 2012, he moved to Virginia. He served as an educational director for a nonprofit cardiovascular foundation and until mid-2019 as a Chief Academic Advisor for two major CV laboratories. Since then, he has served as a virtual cardiovascular / lipidology educator. Career-wise he has given over 4000 domestic (in all 50 states) and several international lectures, including over 600 CME programs on atherothrombosis, lipids/lipoproteins (and their treatment), vascular biology, biomarker testing, and women's cardiovascular issues. He has authored several manuscripts and lipid textbook chapters and performed several podcasts. For several years he was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology.

On episode 628 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, we bring back Gary Taubes to discuss his new book, Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments. You can find the full show notes at 40plusfitnesspodcast.com/628.

In "Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments," science journalist Gary Taubes argues that when it comes to treating diabetes, a disease that one in five Americans struggles with, we need to focus on diet—particularly, fewer carbohydrates and more fat — over a reliance on insulin

Takeaways* The dietary advice given to Americans regarding diabetes and obesity is based on flimsy evidence and the power of certain academic physicians to influence government guidelines.* The medical community often resists challenging prevailing paradigms, and it takes journalists and independent researchers to question and critique established beliefs.* Type 2 diabetes is not solely a pancreatic deficiency disorder, but rather a complex condition involving insulin resistance and excessive insulin production.* Insulin therapy, while life-saving for type 1 diabetes, can lead to long-term complications and may not be the most effective treatment for type 2 diabetes. Medical thinking often lacks scientific rigor and is influenced by groupthink.* Starvation diets and high-fat diets have been historically used to treat diabetes, with mixed results.* Calorie restriction is ineffective and can lead to hunger and other negative consequences.* The American Diabetic Association has embraced high-carb diets despite evidence to the contrary.* Improving science requires independent review and a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom.* Patients can experiment with different dietary approaches to find what works best for them.Chapters00:00Introduction and Background04:06The Role of Journalists in Critiquing Scientific Paradigms18:32Understanding Diabetes: Types and Consequences29:09The Historical Treatment of Diabetes: Diet and Insulin Therapy39:03The Impact of Insulin Therapy and the Rise of Type 2 Diabetes49:36The Misconception of Type 2 Diabetes as a Pancreatic Deficiency Disorder50:01The Quarter Century Victory Models and the Limitations of Insulin Therapy50:38The Flaws in Medical Thinking55:13Starvation Diets and Insulin Therapy56:11The Paradox of High-Fat Diets59:03The Ineffectiveness of Calorie Restriction01:00:06The Starvation Study by Ancel Keys01:05:18The American Diabetic Association's Embrace of High-Carb Diets01:07:49The Influence of Medical Organizations01:14:29Systematic Changes to Improve Science01:15:00Pragmatic Approach for Patients01:24:06Fixing the Flaws in Science This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit public.substack.com“People get fat because they eat too many calories.” “A calorie is a calorie.” “Saturated fats are bad.”America's leading dietary experts, the US government, and food manufacturers agreed on the above for decades. During that time, rates of overweight, obesity, and diabetes skyrocketed. Either the experts are wrong or people didn't follow the advice of experts. Two journalists, Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz, say the experts are wrong. Saturated fats are good, not bad, and a calorie is not a calorie. The body doesn't process a 60-calorie serving of bacon the same way it does a 60-calorie slice of cake. Obesity and diabetes are a result of a hormone imbalance caused by eating more carbohydrates than the body can handle, they say. When we eat carbohydrates, they believe, the body works to keep the fat locked away in storage. The best diet is a high-fat, high-protein, and low-carb diet known as the keto diet.Naturally, many in the diet establishment, including at academic institutions like Berkeley and Harvard, have taken issue with the conclusions of Taubes and Teicholz. Mainstream experts argue that Taubes and Teicholz have misunderstood or misrepresented the science and downplayed the difficulty of sticking to the keto diet.Teicholz and Taubes have responded at length to their critics at their terrific Substack, Unsettled Science. And, now, Taubes is out with a response to his critics in the form of a major new book, Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments. At 750 pages, Taubes clearly intended for this to be the best available review of the scientific evidence and history published to date. Any serious person who disagrees with Taubes' unorthodox views on diet and diabetes will need to contend with it. I interviewed Taubes about it for today's podcast. We talked about his critics and the challenge of sticking to keto, including for me. He told me that the book on diabetes flowed out of his 2016 book, The Case Against Sugar. “The liver has never evolved to see the doses of fructose that they get today… Biochemistry in the 60s and 70s demonstrated how fructose could cause this condition called ‘insulin resistance,' which is the fundamental disorder of type 2 diabetes.”

Joining me this week is investigative journalist, and author, Gary Taubes. You may have seen him on TV or heard him on other podcasts. He's got quite a history with hist latest books coming in the world of nutrition. Taubes is the author of books like The Case Against Sugar, The Case For Keto and now his latest is 'Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments.'One thing that I found interesting, and that I appreciate about Gary, is that he's open to the idea that there are many options when it comes to nutrition. He has his own beliefs, which he says he's backed up with research. But he acknowledges that it can be hard to prove things, and sometimes research can be biased. What I really loved learning from his book, 'Rethinking Diabetes,' was the history of diabetes in America. Gary really went all the way back to the beginning to show how the disease has grown and also how our understanding an perception of it has changed. A hundred years ago diabetes was almost unheard of in the population. Now about 10% of our population has been diagnosed. And that's just the people that have been diagnosed. It's estimated that another 3% has diabetes but doesn't realize it. That's wild.I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Gary Taubes joins John Tierney to discuss his book Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments. 

I am thrilled to have Gary Taubes back on the show today. (He was with me before on episode 137. Gary is an investigative science and health journalist whose work has been pivotal in catalyzing the low-carb keto movement. He has written many books, including his most recent, Rethinking Diabetes, and his articles are in many of the best anthologies. He has also received many science awards. Today's discussion is particularly significant, given the recent report from the American Diabetes Association revealing that the annual cost of diabetes in the United States reached a staggering $412.9 billion in 2022, with individuals diagnosed with diabetes now representing one in every four dollars spent on healthcare.  In our discussion today, we dive into the history of diabetes, pertinent statistics, the prevailing standard of care, and the transformative influence of insulin on diabetes management and reactive hypoglycemia. Gary provides insights into his reactions to GLP ones, the integration of medical and nutrition science into the medical field, and the influence of organizations such as the American Diabetes Association, AHA, USDA, and NIH. Our discussion also extends to the effects of pharmaceuticals, the shortcomings in our approach to diabetes management and existing models, and the challenge the low-carb community faces. Stay tuned for today's eye-opening conversation, where we shed light on the complexities surrounding diabetes care, explaining how simple lifestyle changes can tremendously improve quality of life. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Rethinking Diabetes is a groundbreaking exploration of diabetes diagnosis, management, and treatment Gary discusses the evolution of evidence-based medicine Why the traditional medical approach to treating diabetes is inadequate How the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association were based on outdated assumptions  How medical treatments compare with lifestyle changes for managing diabetes Controversies surrounding how the pharmaceutical industry has influenced the way medical associations have shaped their diabetes management policies How medical guidelines and dietary advice have evolved What constitutes a healthy diet? How patients often have trouble following diet recommendations, despite their best intentions Is obesity a hormonal disorder or caused by overeating?   Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Gary Taubes On his website Twitter Facebook Ep. 137 – High Blood Sugar Levels And Its Long-Term Damage with Gary Taubes Book Mentioned: Rethinking Diabetes What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments is available from most bookstores or on Amazon.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Maira Soliani is a low-carb anesthesiologist from Brazil. Dr. Soliani graduated in 2009 and concluded her anesthesiology specialty in 2013. She holds a PhD since 2016 from Campinas State University (UNICAMP) in Brazil. After realizing that a great part of her patients' postoperative complications were closely related to modern chronic metabolic diseases and that low-carb, high-healthy-fat (LCHF) diets and fasting could prevent them from becoming sick in the first place, she started treating patients with metabolic diseases and obesity in her clinic in Brazil. In this conversation, Drs. Tro, Brian, and Maira talk about the work of Gary Taubes and Dr. Jason Fung, how Maira started treating patients using a low-carb lifestyle intervention approach, how often a doctor should meet with a patient for optimal results, the logistics and organization involved in providing excellent, dedicated service to a large amount of patients, defining and treating food addiction, loneliness, metabolic disease, and mental health, the importance of social support as a factor for success with one's diet, the power of mindset, studies on the placebo effect, the power of motivational interviewing, and The Hacking of the American Mind by Robert Lustig.

Episode 2390 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich and "The Sodfather" Dr. Peter Ballerstedt discuss the health of the environment and nutrition through a ruminant revolution, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/09/ruminant-revolution-dr-peter-ballerstedt-episode-2390 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Pandemic of Metabolic Illness Dr. Peter Ballerstedt returns to the show and is known as the “Sodfather.” Peter is a Forage Agronomist and has expansive knowledge of agriculture, the environment, and nutrition. He explains 3 key messages he is trying to spread: public health needs animal foods a sustainable food system is only possible with livestock, particularly ruminants. livestock and animal foods are a part of our (and others) varied cultural heritage Vinnie gets tired of the fast narratives put out by popular vegan doctors. (4:00) He referenced recent guest Dr. Bill Schindler who has studied human development back as far as 3 million years. (5:15) Peter adds that grasslands need ruminants for soil to be healthy and growth to be sustainable. Early humans discovered tools that helped their brain development; they went from being scavengers to apex hunters. They discuss the disconnect that happens as certain tech progresses. (11:30) People are becoming even more removed from certain aspects of life which makes things feel as if they are going in reverse. Peter asks: is it the tech, or what we choose to do with the tech? He gives an example of how Gary Taubes is doing some current research. They discuss the politicization through such campaigns as “meat is murder,” etc. (15:00) Reconnection with the hard wall of physics, biology, and endocrinology should make people realize how negative campaigns against meat are misguided. The proof is the current Pandemic of Metabolic Illness happening. Obesity is a symptom of malnutrition—he elaborates. Ruminant Revolution Peter is encouraging a “ruminant revolution,” which is to improve the productivity and efficiency of ruminant agriculture globally. (20:00) He and Vinnie also remind people that doctors are not your boss, they work for you. (22:00) People need to become better informed for their benefit. They discuss how politics has entered the food system. (26:30) Peter gives examples from both Germany and Brazil about processes that both didn't work and do work. (28:00) He explains what arable land is (able to be plowed and grown). All arable land is agricultural, but not all agricultural land is arable. Vinnie asks Peter's opinion about the recent uproar in Ireland about killing thousands of cattle to reduce emissions. (41:00) We must figure out how to feed the world the appropriate amount of animal-sourced food, for public health. Even if the U.S. got rid of animal agriculture, it would only reduce global emissions by approximately 2%. However, it would also imbalance the food system and reduce nutrition globally. One study that is never discussed states that a wildlife-dominated savannah and a livestock-dominated one are equal. (58:00) Those who are pushing the Dietary Guidelines for metabolic health are at least 10 years behind on the science. (1:02:00) Vinnie shares an idea that he and Nina Teicholz have had about creating a health think tank to better get the truth to the public. (1:03:00) You can find Dr. Peter Ballerstedt around the web and on social media and doing various appearances around the world.

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Ken Armstrong is a business analyst, cyclist, and low-carb/keto proponent. He has an amazing weight loss story—losing over 210 lbs over the course of his dietary journey—with high points and low points and lessons learned along the way. Having been disappointed again and again by a variety of different diets, Ken discovered Gary Taubes' book, Why We Get Fat, which set him on the path to finally attaining health and sustainable weight loss. After falling off the wagon for a while, he returned to low-carb and began trying intermittent fasting as well. This combination of fasting and dieting helped him to regain the progress he had lost. Since then, he has been experimenting with the carnivore diet as part of his continued effort to discover which nutritional decisions are best for him. “You are never beyond help. You are never beyond hope.” This is the message that Ken wants to communicate. In this episode, Brian and Ken talk about Ken's health journey so far, dealing with gall stones, wether or not fat can be addictive by itself, protein-sparing modified fasting, preparing for success in tempting situations, mindfulness and sympathetic overdrive, the vital importance of community for physical and mental health, why diet alone is not sufficient to make one healthy, learning to enjoy the journey rather than being impatient to reach the goal, and food addiction. Thank you for listening.

(2:00) She shares what she thinks may have been slowing her progress a bit, including a lot of stress. Gina's body changes have helped her expand her range of activities. This has made her more confident overall. Gina shares how a friend who still follows an older “diet mentality” got their bloodwork back and was shocked. (7:00) They found out their low-fat, limited “points” approach was negatively affecting their bloodwork. So Vinnie explains what is happening in the body during an insulin response and fat storage. (10:30) He recommends reading “” by Gary Taubes. Vinnie recalls a good visual description of how triglycerides work in the cells. He explains how getting fat adapted also helps with signaling the hunger hormones properly. Gina asks about what is described as “the whoosh” in weight loss, and Vinnie clarifies. (19:15) Vinnie asks Gina about her goals and gives some practical viewpoints about them. (23:00) Perseverance gets results! They discuss how the pandemic affected people, and their activity levels, and how California's rules were more stringent than other regions. (26:00) Vinnie shares how he found ways to get in more movement since his gym was closed. Gina thanks Vinnie and mentions how excuses are easy, but there is so much we can do right in front of us!

Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was just 11, Dr. Richard Bernstein has lived with the condition for a remarkable 78 years. At the age of 89, he continues to serve patients.   In 1969, he invented self-monitoring of blood glucose, revolutionizing the way patients could manage their condition. He further changed the game in 1970, inventing the basal/bolus insulin dosing technique, providing a more efficient approach to diabetes management.  Since 1971, he has followed a low carbohydrate diet, proving that careful nutrition management can play a key role in controlling diabetes. Beyond his own personal practice, Dr. Bernstein has been an active advocate and educator, having penned the authoritative guide, "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution". He has also created "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes University", a video series accessible via the internet that provides comprehensive insights into the world of diabetes management.  Timestamps: 00:00:00 Trailer and introduction. 00:01:36 Columbia journey, medical struggles, blood sugar battle. 00:10:44 Gary Taubes exposed bribery for nutritional recommendations. 00:17:58 A trial on blood sugar treatment retracted.  00:22:02 Low carb diet can help manage diabetes. 00:29:02 Morning exercise raises blood sugar levels.  00:37:46 Erectile dysfunction linked to low blood sugar. 00:45:04 Hypoglycemia not direct cause of dementia.  00:49:58 Protein, low-carb vegetables, simple meals.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Sam Apple. He is on the faculty of the MA in Science Writing and MA in Writing programs at Johns Hopkins. Register your FREE spot for the next 7 day keto kickstart challenge with Dr Jason Fung, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Annette Boz and many others: http://www.ketokampchallenge.com This episode originally aired in December 2021 Prior to his arrival at Johns Hopkins, Apple taught creative writing and journalism at the University of Pennsylvania for ten years. He holds a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Michigan and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia University. Apple is the author of Ravenous American Parent, and Schlepping Through the Alps. He has published short stories, personal essays, satires, and journalistic features on a wide range of topics. In recent years, he has primarily written about science and health. His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Wired, The Los Angeles Times, The Financial Times Magazine, ESPN The Magazine, The MIT Technology Review, and McSweeney's, among many other publications. Schlepping Through the Alps was a finalist for the PEN America Award for a first work of nonfiction. In this episode, Sam talks about the inspiration behind his book Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet. We dive into Otto Warburg's work and how the Nazis protected him for his cancer science. Sam explains how sugar can promote cancer growth and what steps you can take to lower your insulin levels. Tune in as we chat about fasting, therapies for cancer, and the importance of exercise.

Plus, Gary Taubes inspired him. Sam was really surprised to learn that that cancer was associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. He wanted to dig further on the connection between cancer and metabolic disease.  [02:10] The Nazis Protected Warburg For His Cancer Research In 1923, Warburg makes this famous discovery called the Warburg Effect. Cancer cells take up a lot more glucose than other cells and burn it without oxygen; they ferment it, just like microorganisms do. Warburg also has made other discoveries about how cells breathe and use oxygen. He wins the Nobel Prize in 1931. In 1933, the Nazis come along. Despite having a Jewish father and being openly gay, the Nazis protected Warburg because they were interested in his cancer research. [06:50] Warburg's Studies Started To Disappear After The War After the war, Warburg's cancer research really starts to disappear. Australia in the 1950s famously discovered the structure of DNA. Eventually, we had a new sort of genetic understanding of cancer where we can now identify specific mutations. So, how cells take up glucose and shift their metabolism was considered irrelevant because of the study of genetics. Warburg's studies take peoeple back to diet, and there's a huge bias against taking diet seriously. [12:20] What Sugar Does To Promote Cancer Growth If cancer is about these metabolic shifts inside of a cell, what is it about the way we eat that affects the way a cell eats? In America, one out of three women are diagnosed with cancer within their lifetime. For men, it's about one in two. Cancer is closely linked to obesity. 13 of the deadliest cancers have been solidly linked to obesity. Sam wanted to know if obesity was causing cancer or if something was driving both. Elevated levels of the hormone insulin are responsible for obesity and give microscopic cancers a chance to grow and thrive. What is it about our diet that causes insulin to rise? Sugar! The increase in sugar consumption maps pretty closely to the rise of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. [19:30] How A Keto Diet That Will Help You Prevent Cancer Sam is a huge believer that keto is a logical way to prevent cancer. The single most important thing you can do to improve your odds for cancer prevention is to keep your insulin levels low. Hyperinsulinemia promotes the growth of cancer. So, it's important to follow a diet that keeps your insulin levels down. [22:20] Intermittent Fasting Is Another Great Way To Lower Insulin Intermittent fasting is one very successful strategy for keeping insulin down. If you can fast consistently, it seems to work quite effectively on lowering insulin. Fasting can lead to weight loss because it lowers insulin levels in the body. Sam wants to point out that thin people can still have insulin resistance. In some ways, being naturally thin can actually be a disadvantage because you can't store subcutaneous fat. [26:30] How To Optimize Insulin and Glucose Levels To Be Proactive Instead of Reactive You can't outrun a bad diet. However, exercise can help you feel better and make you more inspired to follow a low-carb diet. After workouts, you can be inspired to eat healthily and continue to feel good. Once you understand that sugar is linked to cancer, it should help you ditch it during mealtime. [38:30] Finding Therapies To Target Specific Cancer Mutations When cancer can eat lots of glucose, it's no longer thinking about dying; it's thinking about doing a lot more things. Based on which particular mutation you have, the oncologist will devise a treatment. Unfortunately, targeted therapies to specific mutations haven't been as successful as we would have liked. However, there are some cases where therapies will successfully target mutations. [42:25] The Best Preventative Measures To Preventing Cancer In The Future Eliminate sugar from your diet. Definitely eliminate liquid sugar from your diet. If you are insulin resistant, you need to reduce those insulin levels. Stop smoking. Cut out refined carbohydrates.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Paleovalley, and Essentia. The leading cause of inflammation is a poor diet—specifically one rich in addictive starches and refined sugars that keep us eating more than we need to because they don't fill us up.
