When it comes to proper nutrition and weight loss, the myths and misinformation in the industry are really what prevents people from getting results and seeing changes. The endless cycle of new information proving other information wrong all the time can confuse people, leading them to give up. The truth – and studies and research are out there to prove it – is that nutrition is not too complicated.  In this episode of the podcast, Amber welcomes Robert J. Davis a.k.a. The Healthy Skeptic, PhD, and author to demystify popular and wrong information about nutrition. Robert explains that there are some things that we cannot help when it comes to changing our body composition (like microbiome and genetics) but there are also a lot of best practices that if done properly can really make a difference. Tune in!  Wellness Quote “Nobody can go from eating a certain kind of diet which is perhaps filled with a lot of processed or refined grains and overnight change that. This is a gradual process that has to happen over time and taking small steps over time is crucial here.” – Robert J. Davis Key Highlights Misinformation in the industry inspired Robert to start his work and try to spread the truth when it comes to nutrition; Robert explains that the pressure to try to lose weight no matter what, can affect our health – physical and mental; Robert explains that some things we can't help or change when it comes to changing our body image (microbiome and genetics); How to identify these things we can't change and when is the time to recognize and accept how we were made; Robert talks about what motivated him to write his book and what are some of the key themes that the book was based upon; Robert debriefs important topics for weight loss such as calories (counting macronutrients), myths about exercising and cardio, and best practices on intermittent fasting.

The world would have you believe that losing weight is easy, but the truth is, in many cases, you're being fed a generous helping of falsehoods and misguided dieting advice. The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard society with recommendations about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, skip meals, drink more water, pop a pill. Yet as more people try diligently to follow this advice, waistlines continue to expand. Today's Guest: Robert J.

Robert J. Davis, PhD, is a health journalist with a public health background as well as the Author of The Healthy Skeptic: Cutting Through the HYPE About Your Health. As a journalist, Robert realized how much people are trying to lobby for their new exercise routines, diets, and hospitals. That opened his eyes to all the money and propaganda involved in skewing science and persuading the public to do certain things. So, should we be putting our trust into “industry experts” on the same level as scientists? Is the validity of health studies and journalism going away? In this discussion, Robert and Chase examine the role of skepticism in diet culture, nutritional sciences, and general health and wellness. Robert offers tips on how to discern which health studies and claims are trustworthy and which are misleading, noting trusted health resources and publications you can use to stay educated about nutrition. He also shares his candid thoughts on weight loss supplements, precision medicine in weight loss and nutrition, and the power of belief systems in nutrition and health.   Follow Robert @healthyskept Follow Chase @chase_chewning Episode resources: Save 15% on the grass fed and grass finished beef sticks from Paleovalley with code EVERFORWARD at www.Paleovalley.com  Get Robert's book The Healthy Skeptic at https://amzn.to/3nn2muX  Learn more and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/553

Diet philosophies have become very polarizing in recent years. For instance: veganism and vegetarianism, the paleo diet, intermittent fasting, and counting calories are all eating plans that diverge on what is the best option when it comes to weight loss. While there are true concepts on all of them, there are a lot of myths on them as well. The best approach would be: think beyond diets and see what works for you. Tune in to this episode of the Next Level Human podcast as Dr. Jade talks with Robert J. Davis, PhD; the author of “Supersized Lies,” which revolves around diet philosophies and why people can't seem to lose weight even with so many popular diets popping up in the industry. Robert advises on a variety of topics such as macronutrient consumption, processed foods, quality and quantity of food, and why demonizing certain groups of foods is not the solution.

Are you skeptical about health and nutrition claims?  You should be.  There is no single source of truth when it comes nutrition, most general practice physicians have little to no training on the subject, we're constantly being bombarded with conflicting new-studies-show type headlines from the media, shysters and hustlers are promising amazing weight loss success if you only buy their product, and on social media there are wars being waged over the healthiest way to eat – primarily the keto and plant based camps at this point and time.  Those of us over remember when we were told not to eat fat, because – well – it would make you fat.  And then along came Dr. Adkins who told us no, the villain isn't fat, its carbs that are making us fat.  And what about the poor egg… it's gone from being demonized as the culprit for raising our cholesterol to being a superfood.With all this noise, all this conflicting information, it's no wonder many of us confused.  And it's no wonder many of us are skeptical of current – or past – health advice.  Our guest today is going to help us negotiate our way through the labyrinth of misinformation, myths, and downright nutrition lies.My guest today is Dr. Robert J.

She reveals where perfectionism comes from, why it is a problem and what you can do about it.Then, anyone who is going to go in for surgery needs to take something with them. I’ll tell you what it is that will make you feel better, reduce the pain and lower your blood pressure – and all you have to do is listen!And who doesn’t want to be more fit?
