Podcasts about Saturated fat

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-12-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses Michael Pollan's critique of MAHA dietary recommendations, agreeing that ultra-processed foods should be avoided but noting the lack of science supporting high saturated fat intake. She acknowledges extra virgin coconut oil as an exception that doesn't raise LDL, and pushes back on the social Darwinism embedded in anti-vaccine, anti-welfare MAHA thinking. Dr. Dawn expresses serious concern about Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician who dropped out of residency to become a wellness influencer. She objects to Means hawking supplements and glucose monitors for personal profit—conduct she considers unethical for a physician giving medical advice. An emailer from Switzerland shares success managing histamine intolerance by avoiding aged meats, shellfish, fermented foods, and cross-reactive pollens during hay fever season. The game-changer was taking DAO (diamine oxidase) supplements before meals to break down histamine in the gut. Researchers found that blood from pediatricians who worked in children's hospitals for over a decade contains powerful antibodies against RSV—up to 25% more effective than existing treatments—built up through years of constant exposure. Dr. Dawn critiques a study finding 2.5 times more microplastics in prostate tumor tissue than surrounding healthy tissue, noting that fast-growing cancers develop extra blood vessels and would naturally incorporate more circulating plastics. She attributes the 6% rise in late-stage prostate cancer to discontinued PSA screening rather than microplastics. An emailer asks what to do about microplastics already in our bodies. Dr. Dawn says there's no way to remove them, and advises avoiding microwaving in plastic, limiting breaded processed foods, and rinsing well after brushing teeth with plastic bristles. AI analysis of mammograms can now detect breast artery calcification as a marker for cardiovascular disease risk, with severe calcification indicating 3.3 times greater risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. This could identify high-risk women years before cardiac events. Dr. Dawn questions a non-peer-reviewed study presented at an orthopedic meeting found five years of GLP-1 drug use associated with 30% higher osteoporosis risk, 150% higher osteomalacia risk, and increased tendon ruptures—likely from reduced food intake and vitamin D consumption. Twin studies now estimate genetics account for 55% of lifespan variation when separating internal biological causes from external factors. Separately, fathers who showed warmth and responsiveness to 10-month-old babies had children with lower inflammation and better blood sugar regulation at age 7—an effect not seen with mothers' parenting. Grandparents actively involved in childcare showed slower cognitive decline than non-caregiving grandparents. Dancing emerged as the standout physical activity for dementia prevention—combining aerobic exercise, social interaction, music, and motor coordination—with three hours weekly showing observable benefits.

Send a textBiology of obesity resistance and factors influencing weight gain in humans and animals.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Historical views on obesity: In some cultures, like northern Africa or Stone Age societies, high body fat signaled status or attractiveness due to food scarcity, unlike today's focus on leanness amid calorie abundance.Energy balance components: Metabolizable energy (95% absorption on average, but varying 1-11%) and unabsorbed nutrients excreted as waste significantly influence weight.Obesity resistance in animals: Inbred mouse strains show wide variation in weight gain on high-fat diets, often somewhat uncoupled from overeating, suggesting roles for feed efficiency, energy expenditure, or waste rather than intake alone.Genetic & twin studies: Monozygotic twins overfed 1,000 extra calories daily vary widely in weight gain (4-13 kg), indicating genetic influences, while mouse litter size affects lifelong obesity propensity via early-life programming.Bloodborne factors & hormones: Parabiosis studies led to leptin's discovery for defending against weight loss, but evolutionary logic suggests systems also prevent excess gain, though modern environments may weaken this.Human thinness research: Constitutionally thin people snack more, move less, yet have better cardiometabolic health, but we don't yet understand why.GLP-1 drugs & future directions: These slow gut transit and suppress appetite, but obesity's root causes remain unclear; emerging thinness studies could inform prevention beyond drugs.ABOUT THE GUEST: Jens Lund, PhD is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 132 | Obesity Epidemic, Diet, Metabolism, Saturated Fat vs. PUFAs, Energy Expenditure, Weight Gain & Feeding Behavior | John SpeakmanSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

A new meta-analysis just dropped, and once again, saturated fat takes center stage. But does the data actually support the decades-long warnings we've heard about saturated fat and heart disease? Not exactly.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher dives deep into a recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that reviewed randomized controlled trials on saturated fat intake and health outcomes.Despite the headlines and abstract language hinting at risk, a closer look at the data reveals no statistically significant increase in heart attacks, strokes, or early death, even with modest increases in LDL.So why the disconnect between what the data shows and what the authors claim? Dr. Scher breaks it down and explores the nuances often missing from the conversation about saturated fat, including context like food quality, carbohydrate intake, metabolic health, and lifestyle factors that make a big difference.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Dunkin's Protein Drinks. Dunkin' has officially jumped on the protein bandwagon and is rolling out a new line of protein drinks that have everyone asking: Are these actually a good source of protein? Jenn went straight to the source, visiting multiple Dunkin' locations, digging into the nutrition facts PDF, and asking the questions most of us never think to ask. What she found might surprise you. On the one hand, Dunkin' uses a real, recognizable dairy-based milk with a clean ingredient list and no added sweeteners or emulsifiers. On the other hand, the protein count may not be quite what the marketing suggests. Jenn also addresses the ingredients that go into your cup beyond that protein milk so that you can decide for yourself if this is a smart, satisfying option or just another trend wrapped in clever branding.

In this episode, we sit down again with veterinary epidemiologist and Fatty15 co-founder Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson to explore the emerging science behind C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid increasingly recognized as potentially essential for human health. The conversation begins by addressing skepticism and online claims that C15:0 research is a "scam," before diving into the human and epidemiological evidence showing that higher circulating levels of C15:0 are associated with lower cardiometabolic disease risk. Dr. Venn-Watson explains why not all saturated fats behave the same biologically, contrasting C15:0 with C16 and highlighting C15:0's unique properties including anti-inflammatory effects, mitochondrial support, and protection against cellular stress. Together they explore how modern dietary patterns may have reduced natural intake of this nutrient, what the latest clinical and mechanistic research suggests about aging and metabolic health, and why continuing to challenge long-standing nutrition dogma requires following the data wherever it leads. ----- 00:00 – The "C15 Essential Fatty Acid Scam" Debate 02:08 – Why Critics Say There Isn't Enough Human Evidence 06:35 – Dolphin Research That Led to the Discovery of C15 11:15 – Epidemiology: Higher C15 and Lower Cardiometabolic Risk 16:05 – Saturated Fat: Why the Narrative May Be Oversimplified 21:30 – C15 vs C16: Not All Saturated Fats Are the Same 27:05 – What Makes a Fat Truly "Essential" 32:10 – The "Goldilocks Fat": Why C15 Stands Out 38:20 – Anti-Inflammatory vs Pro-Inflammatory Fats 44:40 – Mitochondria, Cellular Stability, and Longevity 51:15 – Ferroptosis and Protecting Cells From Oxidative Damage 57:50 – Are We Aging Faster Without Enough C15? 1:05:10 – Why Modern Diets May Be Lower in C15 1:12:30 – How Scientists Follow the Data, Even Against Dogma 1:21:50 – What "Ever Forward" Means in Science and Life ----- Episode resources: Stephanie's first appearance on the show in episode 832 Save 15% with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.Fatty15.com/everforward

An exploration of heart-friendly fats, nut consumption, dairy elimination, and ranking key lifestyle pillars for cardiovascular wellness. #Nutrition #LifestyleMedicine #PlantBased

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a discussion on eating fast food, what happens if you live near a fast food outlet without actually ever eating, and what a lifestyle of high salt-intake, high alcohol intake and high rates of saturated fat do to the longevity of your life. Additionally, the diet discussed also weakens the heart so that the heart doesn't pump as well, raising your risk of cardiovascular event, as well as colon cancer. Then, the conversation shifts to continuing cases of long-COVID, and why some people seem more likely to experience prolonged symptoms as opposed to others. Doug and Dr. Ken also address listener questions. This week's discussion includes Crohn's Disease, what it is, symptoms that come with it, and good news of an immune suppressant drug helping ease symptoms in patients in contrast to conventional therapy. Another question pertains to an increase in people being hard of hearing, but why there seems to be so much pushback in people refusing to wear hearing aids. There are also studies showing young children can be damaging their hearing at a younger age due to how loud the volume is of kids wearing headphone and ear buds when listening to music. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

For all of us on Keto, we have come to appreciate saturated fats if not love them. However in the context of other factors such as your omega 6/3 ratio, that possible combination could affect your very negatively as measured with your Uric acid levels.

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick challenges the prevailing lipid hypothesis regarding heart disease, arguing that the relationship between cholesterol, particularly LDL, and heart disease is not as straightforward as commonly believed. He discusses the role of saturated fats, the importance of nitric oxide, and the impact of lifestyle factors on cardiovascular health. Kendrick also critiques the research surrounding statins, emphasising the need for transparency and the potential biases in studies that downplay adverse effects. The discussion highlights the complexity of heart disease and the necessity for a broader understanding of its causes and treatments.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dr. Malcolm Kendrick00:42 Challenging the Lipid Hypothesis02:19 Saturated Fat and Heart Disease04:21 Understanding Cholesterol and Its Role07:48 Observational Studies vs. Randomized Trials10:59 The Failure of Statins and Other Drugs11:44 The Black Swan Argument in Medicine16:20 Familial Hypercholesterolemia Explained17:40 The Role of Blood Clotting in Heart Disease25:50 The Ghost in the Machine: Revisiting Old Theories36:55 The Interconnection of Blood Clotting and Immunity40:47 Understanding Endothelial Damage and Heart Disease45:59 The Role of Sickle Cell Anaemia and Autoimmune Diseases48:34 COVID-19: Blood Clots and Immune Response51:11 Critique of Statin Research and Adverse Effects

Picture two plates. One has leafy greens, colorful vegetables, berries, salmon, whole grains, olive oil, and water. The other has a big steak, butter, and whole milk.Both reflect official government dietary recommendations. But here's the twist: one plate represents what Canada, Sweden, Germany, China, the Netherlands, and India all basically agree on. The other comes from just one country—a country that looked at the same nutrition science and went in a completely different direction.Which country? And why?In Part 3 of our Dietary Guidelines series, Amy takes you on a global tour to uncover why the new U.S. food pyramid is a stark outlier from international consensus. She reveals what happened to the 400-page scientific report from 20 independent researchers—and why industry groups are celebrating while scientists are raising concerns.You'll discover:Why the food pyramid was retired 15 years ago—and why it's suddenly backWhat Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries actually recommendWhy China and India's guidelines look nothing like the new U.S. pyramidHow Canada created a science-based guide that aligns with the MIND diet for brain healthThe specific foods that can reduce Alzheimer's risk by up to 53%Plus, Amy shares her free printable MIND Diet wallet card and gives you three actionable steps to put this episode into practice.If you've been confused by the new dietary guidelines, this episode will give you clarity—and a clear path forward for your brain health.

Have you seen the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and wondered if you should follow them? You may have seen talk about them on the news and social media, and don't know quite what to believe. The slogan of eating more ‘real foods' sounds good though, and the New Pyramid diagram seems to show that all foods - including butter, steak, whole milk and cheese – would be fine to eat and that we don't really need to worry about the amounts eaten. But DO we need to worry? And what about the recommendations about protein and nutritional adequacy issues in vegan and vegetarian diets?   Let's talk about this. In this episode, we'll take a deeper dive into the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans and look at 3 more KEY things you need to know about them, to inform your own health. We'll touch on protein, what the Guidelines say about vegan and vegetarian diets, and what has been found through research.

Most men over 40 focus on lifting weights and dialing in their diet—but still overlook a major driver of long-term cardiovascular health.  In this episode, Ted speaks with Greg Mushen about why subsistence populations rarely develop heart disease, how walking influences glucose and lipid clearance, what genetics reveal about individual risk, and why daily movement may matter more than extreme workouts.  If the goal is to protect arteries, improve metabolic health, and age with resilience, this conversation offers a practical, research-driven framework worth listening to.  Today's Guest  Greg Mushen  Greg Mushen spent his career in tech but has maintained a lifelong interest in health, growing up in a medical family. He became deeply focused on longevity after becoming a father at 40, studying subsistence populations and examining how their lifestyle patterns map onto modern mechanisms of disease prevention.   Connect to Greg Mushen  X:  @gregmushen  Substack: Dark Lab  You'll learn:  Why walking throughout the day may improve glucose and lipid clearance more effectively than a single workout  What subsistence populations like the Tsimane and Maasai reveal about heart disease and arterial health  How genetic differences influence lipid clearance and cardiovascular risk   The concept of "flux" and why matching intake with output is critical for metabolic health  And much more....   What Ted and Greg discuss:  (00:00) Introduction  (03:55) Meet Greg Mushen: From Zone 2 to 15K Steps (Why Walking?)  (07:28) Walking for Nutrient Partitioning, Glucose Control & Mitochondria  (15:25) The Amish "Natural Experiment" + Clearance Genes   (18:48) Genetics Meets Lifestyle: APOE4, Saturated Fat, and Personal Risk  (24:58) Diet vs Movement in Context: Maasai vs Tsimane and the 'Flux' Framework  (35:35) Athletes, High CAC Scores & Why Risk Can Still Be Low  (36:58) From Tech to Primary Research: How Greg Learned to Read Studies  (46:49) Calories, Appetite & Why Tracking Still Works (Even If You Hate It)  (57:23) Genetics, Methylation & Targeted Supplements (B12, Folate, Creatine, TMG)  (01:05:18) Final Thought 

Saturated fat is back in the headlines, and so is the confusion.The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans just dropped, and while there's clear progress (more support for animal-based protein, low-carb options, and reduced sugar), they've kept the 10% cap on saturated fat. But does the science still support that limit, and does it make sense with the rest of the recommendations?In this episode, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the real story on saturated fat: where the guidelines get it right, where they fall short, and why context is everything when it comes to fat, food, and metabolic health.He covers:✅ The 5 main types of evidence on saturated fat✅ Why source and dietary context matter more than grams✅ What randomized trials, ketogenic studies & LDL data really show✅ The problem with lumping steak and pizza into one category✅ Why blanket limits may harm people trying to improve their metabolic healthThe saturated fat debate isn't just about grams, it's about individual metabolic health. When we zoom out and look at the full picture, it becomes clear that not all saturated fat is created equal. Understanding where it comes from and how it fits into an overall dietary pattern is key to moving the conversation forward.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explains the latest research on saturated fat and its role in heart disease. He breaks down why many studies don't link saturated fat to higher heart disease risk and what factors actually matter when assessing fat consumption.   You'll discover why oxidative stability, not the smoke point, is the real key when choosing fats for cooking. Dr. Jockers shares which fats are most stable and why they're better for your health in the long term.   We also dive into the role saturated fat plays for those with specific genetic markers, like APOE4 carriers. Dr. Jockers discusses how certain individuals might need to limit their intake of saturated fats to improve their health outcomes.

Why are the new dietary guidelines pushing full-fat dairy and red meat? Is saturated fat actually a healthy fat? And is Dr. Oz wrong for referring to alcohol as a "social lubricant"? In this episode, Amy exposes the conflicting nutrition advice, impossible math, and double standards, and helps you make sense of the chaos—so you can eat for your brain, body, and future health.What to Listen For(03:54) – Why the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and their 400-page report was disregarded(05:45) – RFK Jr.'s quote: “We are ending the war on saturated fats” and what nutrition science reveals(07:23) – Healthy fats vs. essential fatty acids—and what's wrong with how the guidelines defined them(09:14) – Saturated fat ≠ essential fatty acid and why that distinction matters for brain and body health(11:05) – Math problem: 3 servings of full-fat dairy per day + prioritizing protein make it nearly impossible to stay under 10% sat fat limit(13:18) – Lactose malabsorption stats by ethnicity and why nutrition science must take health equity into account(15:04) – The MIND diet's take on fats(16:38) – The culture war: carnivore vs. vegan and how that influenced the new guidelines(19:42) – Joe Rogan's carnivore diet experiment and why its biggest advocate abandoned it later(26:40) – Dr. Oz, alcohol as a “social lubricant,” and what the guidelines ignoredThe saturated fat "controversy" reveals just how much industry, culture wars, and politics are shaping our national dietary guidelines.As you navigate your health journey, focus on evidence-based strategies like increasing fiber, prioritizing omega-3s, and limiting saturated fat to support brain and metabolic health.

Nearly 90% of U.S. health care spending now goes toward chronic disease, much of it driven by dietary guidance that favored processed foods over real, nourishing meals The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans reverse decades of low-fat advice and no longer treat saturated fats from whole foods as dietary threats Highly processed foods and added sugars are now explicitly identified as harmful because they disrupt appetite control, energy balance, and long-term metabolic health Excess linoleic acid (LA) from seed oils damages mitochondria, and keeping intake under 3 grams per day supports brain function, energy production and overall resilience Building meals around real protein, natural fats, and personalized portions restores appetite regulation and gives you lasting control over your health

In this foundational January episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling put insulin at the forefront of 2026 by unpacking five surprising metabolic insights from Dr. Ben Bikman, the world's leading insulin researcher, revealing why standard blood work misses early insulin resistance for years before glucose finally rises. They expose the hidden metabolic crisis where normal labs mask the slow march of insulin resistance that begins in overfilled fat cells—which become insulin resistant first as a protective mechanism to prevent rupture—then cascades to the liver, muscle, endothelium, and brain, explaining why seemingly unrelated conditions like PCOS, erectile dysfunction, brain fog, and cardiovascular disease all stem from the same insulin dysfunction. The hosts debunk the saturated fat myth by revealing that most saturated fat in your bloodstream comes from your liver converting excess carbohydrates through de novo lipogenesis, not from butter or steak, making late-night carbs particularly devastating since insulin sensitivity drops 30% at night, sabotaging sleep and activating fight-or-flight responses. This episode delivers the science-backed framework for why fasting isn't about restriction but about asking less of your insulin so cells can finally hear the signal to burn fat, providing actionable strategies including earlier meal timing, resistance training for glucose utilization, and specific lab markers like fasting insulin and HOMA-IR that flag metabolic dysfunction long before standard tests catch it. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Stephen Thomas interviews Zoë Harcombe, a renowned expert in diet and health, who shares her journey from a corporate career to becoming a leading voice in nutrition. Zoë discusses her early interest in food and health, sparked by her brother's diagnosis with type one diabetes, and how her academic pursuits led her to dissect dietary guidelines and nutritional studies. She emphasises the importance of understanding the evidence behind dietary recommendations and critiques the prevailing narratives around carbohydrates, fibre, and saturated fats. Throughout the discussion, Zoë highlights conflicts of interest in nutritional research and the need for individuals to make informed choices about their diets, grounded in sound evidence rather than popular trends.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Zoë Harcombe06:15 Dissecting Studies: Understanding Evidence Levels12:17 Conflicts of Interest in Nutrition Research20:36 Fiber: The Misunderstood Nutrient30:47 Calories: The Misconception of Energy and Weighthttps://www.zoeharcombe.com/Stephen's links

Are seed oils actually harmful, or is the internet just shouting louder than the science? In this myth-busting episode, Michelle and Kevin go deep into the evidence behind seed oils, saturated fats, omega-6 to omega-3 ratios, and the real health risks hiding in ultra-processed foods.Michelle breaks down how different oils (canola, soybean, olive, corn) vary in fatty acid composition, why polyunsaturated fats consistently lower LDL cholesterol, and how studies often misinterpret outdated data from the 1960s that involved trans-fat-laden margarine. They also explore why anti–seed oil arguments often confuse mechanism with real-world outcomes, and how lifestyle patterns, not canola oil, drive chronic inflammation.You'll learn:Why seed oils aren't the inflammatory villains social media claimsHow polyunsaturated fats actually reduce cardiovascular disease riskThe truth about omega-6 vs omega-3 ratios (and what really matters)Why ultra-processed foods (not the oils inside them) are the real issueHow to include healthy fats without overdoing calorie-dense oilsWhole-food sources of omega-3s that support a balanced dietPlus: Michelle reveals updated research, a massive umbrella review on vegetable oils, and a surprising update on Paul Saladino's carnivore diet health crash.If you haven't already, listen to Episode 10 for a full primer on dietary fats and oils.Please subscribe and drop us a review—your feedback helps fellow noobs find their way to better nutrition.Have a question for Michelle?

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a new line of Cheetos and Doritos without any artificial colors or flavors, but questioning if this really counts as “good news” as there are still a lot of processed junk on the ingredients list. Next up, self-hypnosis may help some women going through menopause find relief from hot flashes — in frequency and intensity — with the help of listening to a daily audio hypnosis sessions. It's worth menopausal patients discussing this with their doctors, as up to a 50% reduction has been found in the studies. When it comes to Dr. Ken's expertise as a cardiologist, the conversation shifts to a heart-health focus with a conversation on “low-intensity” smoking, and the real effects of second-hand smoke, the reality of third-hand smoke. Then, a discussion on the future of medicine with new testing and clinical trials for incredible health developments in illnesses and diseases, including what gene-editing therapy can do to help those with high cholesterol.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Episode 61 Focus: Special Guest Dr Jason Hawrelak ND.We discuss why health is an active daily process rather than an occasional state, the subtle damages of the Western diet, the distinction between sugar and fruit, and personalized approaches to healing serious GI conditions.Mouse Study Revelation: Research suggests that mice eating a junk food diet only on the weekends suffered almost as much microbiome damage as mice eating junk food seven days a week, illustrating the importance of consistent, daily nourishment.The Gut-Brain-Immune Axis: The decisions we make daily—from food choices to stress and sleep—directly impact the microbiome, which, in turn, influences mood, immunity, and long-term disease risk.Saturated Fat, and gut health.Crohn's Disease and IBD: IBD symptoms (Crohn's, Colitis) show similar patterns of dysbiosis: too few beneficial, anti-inflammatory bacteria (like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) and too many pro-inflammatory or pathogenic species (like certain E. coli strains).Dietary Emulsifiers: A major driver of IBD and inflammation is the consumption of dietary emulsifiers (e.g., carrageenan, polysorbate 80) found in ultra-processed foods. These compounds actively strip away the protective mucus layer, allowing microbes and toxins to interact with the immune system.Saturated Fat and Pathogens: Saturated fats (from dairy, lard, or coconut) behave differently in the gut:They encourage the growth of bacteria like Bilophila wadsworthia (a bile-loving bug) by increasing bile sulfur levels.Bilophila produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which is linked to IBD risk and visceral hypersensitivity (painful, oversensitive nerves in the gut).Saturated fat can also bind to and increase the absorption of endotoxin (a bacterial toxin), driving systemic inflammation.Optimal Protein: A plant-forward omnivore or pescatarian diet is optimal. A high-fiber diet mitigates many of the risks associated with moderate protein intake. For IBD flares, temporarily reducing red meat is often necessary to suppress hydrogen sulfide-producing microbes.Key Takeaways:The Single Most Important Action: Eat a diverse, high-fiber, plant-forward diet aiming for ∼50g of fiber daily.Be Aware of Toxins: Avoid ultra-processed foods, emulsifiers, and minimize pesticide exposure (eat organic when possible) to protect the gut lining.You can find out more about Dr Jason Hawrelak ND, BNat(Hons), PhD, FNHAA, MASN, FACN ProbioticAdvisor.comInterested in testing your gut microbes?

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, you'll learn who Dr. Weston A. Price was and what his groundbreaking research revealed about the connection between diet, physical health, and human flourishing. Dr. Price's global studies in the early 1900s showed that traditional, nutrient-dense, properly prepared foods produced strong, joyful, disease-resistant people — while modern, processed diets led to degeneration within a single generation. Host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC explains how the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) continues Dr. Price's mission today by helping people live healthier, more holistic lives. Through education, community, and advocacy, WAPF promotes ancestral wisdom — from properly prepared, nutrient-dense foods to lifestyle practices that support balance, vitality, and lifelong wellness. Then, Jamie welcomes fellow FNTP, Allison Mädl, who recently returned from the WAPF's Wise Traditions Conference in Salt Lake City. Together, they unpack the insights, research, and reflections she brought back — from nourishing, gourmet meals to saturated fat science, circadian rhythm optimization, fermentation, regenerative farming, and the revival of real-food education in schools.      Key Takeaways The Legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and how ancestral diets rich in fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and enzymes built the foundation for strong bodies and resilient minds. Food Quality Determines Health Quality Properly prepared, nutrient-dense, locally sourced, whole foods — raw dairy, pastured meats, fermented vegetables, soaked grains, and healthy animal fats — remain the cornerstone of wellness. Nutrient density naturally balances appetite, stabilizes blood sugar, and sustains energy. Saturated Fats vs. Seed Oils: A Paradigm Shift Modern science is re-evaluating decades of misguided advice. Evidence now shows that natural saturated fats support longevity and hormone health, while industrial seed oils are unstable, oxidizing fats that accelerate inflammation and cellular damage. Cholesterol is Not the Enemy Dietary cholesterol doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels — high carbohydrate intake and metabolic dysfunction do. Cholesterol is essential for hormone production, cell membrane integrity, vitamin D synthesis, and more!. Light, Sleep, and Longevity Circadian rhythm is a biological foundation of health. Morning sunlight exposure, reduced nighttime blue light, and true darkness during sleep optimize melatonin production and activity, support mitochondrial function, and slow aging at the cellular level. Fermentation and the Microbiome Traditional ferments like kefir, kombucha, and natto restore microbial diversity and digestive resilience. Start small, vary your sources, and pay attention to how your body responds — real food is the most affordable and effective  probiotic. From Soil to Sovereignty Regenerative agriculture proves that nutrient-dense food starts with healthy soil. Farmers using organic and rotational methods see higher yields, stronger crops, and better economics without chemical dependency — improving both land and lives. Real-Food Education Changes Generations Teaching knife skills, broth-making, and gardening in schools reconnects children with the source of their food. These skills build confidence, reduce dependence on processed food, and restore a sense of value and purpose in young people. Community Nourishes as Much as Food The Wise Traditions Conference exemplifies what happens when like-minded people gather around shared values of health, freedom, and stewardship. The table becomes a place of healing — for body, mind, and spirit.     About Our Guest — Allison Mädl, FNTP Allison graduated as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in 2014 and has served the NTA in various roles ever since. She is currently a Lead Instructor and Senior On-Demand Program Developer for the Nutritional Therapy Association and runs a private practice in North Idaho, where she works with clients both in the U.S. and abroad.

In this solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the most persistent myths in nutrition: that plant proteins are incomplete or inferior. Drawing from decades of peer-reviewed research and his own 17-year plant-based journey, he breaks down how plants contain all essential amino acids, how digestibility differs from bioavailability, and why variety — not animal flesh — is the key to optimal health and longevity. This is part one of a two-part deep dive into protein, performance, and ethics — separating science from marketing and helping you understand where real nourishment begins.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 - Intro and Sponsor: Fatty15 00:04:13 - Welcome to the Super Life Podcast 00:04:26 - Plant-Based Living and the Protein Question 00:06:24 - Protein Basics: Amino Acids in Plants 00:07:20 - Dr. Christopher Gardner and the Diversity of Plant Protein 00:09:52 - Protein Quality, Digestibility, and Flesh 00:11:12 - Heart Health: Stanford Twin Trial Results 00:12:02 - Saturated Fat, Polyunsaturated Fat, and Heart Disease 00:13:01 - Stanford Swap Meat Trial: Plant-Based Alternatives vs. Red Meat 00:14:14 - Sponsor: Our Place Cookware 00:17:01 - Longevity and Mortality Data 00:17:49 - Performance and Strength: Protein Requirements 00:20:47 - Easily Hitting Plant Protein Requirements 00:21:43 - Debunking the Carnivore Diet 00:23:02 - Closing Thoughts and Personal Point of View     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to issue new dietary guidance encouraging Americans to increase saturated fat consumption. Will the American Heart Association update its own guidance? They currently state: “Saturated fats are found in butter, cheese, red meat, other animal-based foods and tropical oils. Decades [of] science has proven that saturated fats can raise your ‘bad' cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease.” 4:10pm- During a segment on Piers Morgan Uncensored, progressive commentator/activist Harry Sisson said: “I dare you to name one high-ranking Democrat who compared Trump to Hitler.” Rich plays clips of then-President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both doing it prior to the 2024 election! 4:20pm- Democrats and media members are apoplectic over the Trump administration's decision to construct a grand ballroom at the White House—expanding the residence's East Wing. President Trump has insisted construction will be privately funded, at no expense to the taxpayer. Despite left-wing outrage, Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all oversaw major construction projects while serving as president. Speaker Mike Johnson noted during a press conference earlier today: This is proof Democrats will attack President Trump for anything and everything he does. 4:30pm- Cracker Barrel Logo Change: Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino explained that the restaurant chain's short-lived logo change wasn't ideological—instead, it was intended to make highway signs more visible.
