320: Top Controversies in Nutrition; Healing Diet Obsession; Confronting Call-Out Culture | Thomas DeLauer

Thomas DeLauer is a celebrity fitness and nutrition expert and social media influencer. He is best known for his hugely popular YouTube channel, which has millions of followers and regularly features posts on fitness and nutrition. He’s also written several books about fitness, including his latest, Intermittent Fasting Made Easy: Next-level Hacks to Supercharge Fat Loss, Boost Energy, and Build Muscle.





 












 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • The protein that yields the best results for fat loss is the one you incorporate into your diet consistently. However, selecting lean animal protein provides a highly digestible and satiating protein with less calories—just remember to mix it up as different proteins are high in different micronutrients. 

  • Why Thomas has shifted his thinking and is no longer following a keto diet, and leaning into a lower-carb version of the mediterranean diet. 

  • There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet, but we can take the best learnings from low-carb and low-fat, consider our performance goals, body composition goals, personal preferences, and determine what works best for us. 

  • The importance of removing the moral value from food, and learning to understand what energy balance is and paying attention to how each food you eat makes your body feel—also remember there’s a difference between using exercise as punishment and using it for energy balance!

  • The healthiest nutrition bars, tips for protein on the go, and why carbs from tropical fruit shouldn’t be an issue for non-diabetics with a healthy body composition.

 Dr. David Spiegel is the Associate Chair of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Director of the Center on Stress and Health, and Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Spiegel is a leading expert in the field of hypnotherapy and developed the app, Reveri, to empower more people with the skill of managing their own brains.

  • How hypnosis works, misconceptions about hypnosis, and how Dr. Spiegel became interested in hypnosis. 

  • How hypnosis can be leveraged to take control of your life and brain in multiple ways, including helping manage pain, handling stress better, falling asleep more easily, and learning to control impulses to engage in self-destructive behavior and habits. 

  • About two thirds of adults are at least somewhat hypnotizable. There is a spectrum of hypnotizability. You can find out your hypnotizability with Dr. Spiegel’s hypnotizability test.

  • The difference between meditation and hypnosis, why both are useful, and the surprising results from Max’s experiment undergoing hypnosis with Dr. Spiegel!

  • The danger of using opioids for treating chronic pain, and how Dr. Spiegel’s studies with metastatic breast cancer patients demonstrate that hypnosis is a powerful tool for managing pain.

318: Why a High-Protein Diet is Key for Easy Fat Loss, Plus Why I Cut Back on Olive Oil | Ted Naiman, MD

 Dr. Ted Naiman  is a board-certified Family Medicine physician in the department of Primary Care at a leading major medical center in Seattle. His personal research and medical practice are focused on the practical implementation of diet and exercise for health optimization. He is the co-author of The PE Diet: Leverage your biology to achieve optimal health.





 












 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How our modern food environment keeps us fat and hungry—and how to fight back by eating more satiating, nourishing foods. 

  • Why protein is king, a quick hack for determining the ratio of protein in a food, and why we should shoot for eating food with at least 40%  of the calories coming from protein.

  • Satiety is important, but we also need to consider ‘the hedonic factor,’ we get from eating high fat, high salt foods.

  • If you aren’t diabetic and have a healthy body composition, you really don’t need to worry about glucose spikes from food or vigorous exercise—one caveat, it’s probably not a good idea to eat high glycemic carbohydrate foods by themselves. 

  • How to give yourself more wiggle room to add fat or carbohydrates by centering your meal around lean protein.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Max’s personal reason for diving deep into the world of Alzheimer’s research, and what he discovered about our messed up, modern food environment, which is composed of 73% ultra-processed foods. 

  • Why it’s imperative you drastically reduce the amount of ultra-processed foods in your diet—and the protective foods you should be eating daily, including dark leafy green (which are loaded with the neuroprotective carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin) olive oil and other healthy fats, fish, and eggs. 

  • The gut starts in the mouth—the dangers of nuking your oral microbiome with antiseptic mouthwash. 

  • What healthy user bias is, why the data is weak on unprocessed red meat being a risk factor for poor health outcomes, and why red meat is actually a nutrient dense, protein packed superfood. 

  • Other easy ways to boost your overall health, reduce blood pressure, and reduce your risk for developing Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia, including walking, sauna, and breathwork. 

  • And much more!

Comment

316: How to Raise Mentally Strong Children, Plus Why Self-Care is Crucial for Good Parenting | Caroline Leaf, PhD

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s, she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity.) Dr. Leaf hosts the podcast, Cleaning up the Mental Mess and is a best-selling author of several books, including her latest, How to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental Mess: A Guide to Building Resilience and Managing Mental Health.




 












 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How to use the multiple perspective advantage to evaluate your emotions, behaviors, body sensations, and your perspective to start your day with awareness. 

  • The importance of reading to your children as a way to connect—and the power of stories in teaching children how problems are solved and giving them language to explain emotions. 

  • Why you should model vulnerability to your kids using age appropriate language, and how working through difficult experiences helps us build resilience. 

  • How to use the 5-step neurocycle, a mind directed neuroplasticity technique that was first developed for traumatic brain injuries—and how this powerful technique helps the brain work through trauma, learn emotional regulation, and empowers you to control your own mind. 

  • It takes much less time to change simple behaviors like drinking more water, but to become a long term change, it takes about 63 days to completely rewire your brain with the neurocycle—and complex traumas can take longer, but change is possible!

  • And much more!

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Three approaches to calorie restriction, and why Stan is a fan of reducing overall calories,with an emphasis on fiber and protein for satiety, while focusing on key nutrients like potassium that aid in performance—with the caveat that you should do the form of restriction that is least restrictive to you personally. 

  • The risks of overtraining, including low testosterone levels, low thyroid, and anemia—and how Stan works with his clients to mitigate these negative effects with training and dietary interventions. 

  • Why 10 minute walks three times a day are more effective than one 30 minute walk, and why this is all the cardio you need!

  • Stan’s tips for building muscle, including being cautious of junk volume, ensuring you’re resting enough between sets, and having adequate protein intake. 

  • Stan’s answers to listener questions, a hot take on stretching, and surprising stats on injury recovery.

Inspired to help other women on their wellness journeys, Mari decided to launch Bloom — easy-to-use, effective, and delicious supplements that support wellness and help others Bloom into their best selves.

Now, Mari is on a mission to uncover all the information she can and bring it to you on topics like optimal living, nutrition, longevity, mental health, childhood trauma, and more through weekly episodes on her podcast, Pursuit of Wellness Podcast.

  • The importance of having a ‘why’ when it comes to  your exercise and nutrition goals that isn’t related to appearance or a number on the scale.

  • Mari’s approach to diet, how she used the ketogenic diet therapeutically, why she’s currently not keto, her thoughts on the plant-based movement, and why she is protein forward. 

  • Nutrition and fitness trends that do not lead to long term success, contribute to wellbeing, or help cultivate lifelong healthy habits.

  • And much more!

312: The Top Foods to Eat Every Day to Lose Weight and Balance Your Blood Sugar | Rupy Aujla, MD

Comment

312: The Top Foods to Eat Every Day to Lose Weight and Balance Your Blood Sugar | Rupy Aujla, MD

Dr. Rupy Aujla  is a medical doctor and the creator of  The Doctors Kitchen, a popular platform that promotes evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle modifications to improve overall health. Dr. Rupy hosts the podcast The Doctor's Kitchen Podcast, and has published several books, including his latest, Doctor's Kitchen 3-2-1.  

 












 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • The importance of minimizing processed foods in your diet, reading labels, and being aware that many products marketed as healthy are actually ultra-processed, hyperpalatable foods that may cause glucose spikes—including things like granola bars and energy bites. 

  • Although a healthy approach to eating is simple, implementation is difficult for many. Because of this, Dr. Rupy recommends a slow approach, where you focus on adding a fruit or vegetable to each meal, or swap a processed food for a whole food—and continuing to refine and improve your diet on a daily basis. 

  • There is no such thing as a one size fits all diet, but there are general rules of thumb that work for everyone, including eating more greens and cruciferous veggies, eating lean protein, and setting boundaries around food that are not overly restrictive, such as enforcing a 12 hour feeding window. 

  • Legumes are an amazing source of protein, low-glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, and phytonutrients. Consumption of 100 grams of legumes daily may lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Legumes slow gastric emptying, which can help you reduce total calories. Just remember to start slow when adding legumes to your diet to minimize gastrointestinal distress!

  • To gain the maximum health benefit, we should be consuming around 9 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables, with five servings being the absolute minimum—Remember consistency is key, and Dr. Rupy recommends making changes in slow, sustainable steps! 

  • And much more!

311: Beyond Calories; How the Food Matrix Influences Weigh Gain and Shapes Your Health and Wellbeing | Sarah Berry, PhD

Comment

311: Beyond Calories; How the Food Matrix Influences Weigh Gain and Shapes Your Health and Wellbeing | Sarah Berry, PhD

Dr. Sarah Berry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at King's College London and Chief Scientist at ZOE. She is the lead nutritional scientist on the PREDICT program. Her research focuses on precision nutrition, postprandial metabolism, food, and fat structure.












 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • What the food matrix shows us about how the structure of food impacts how nutrients are absorbed. Dr. Berry’s studies demonstrate that in whole nuts only about 60% of the fat is released and labeling overestimates the energy kcal by about 30%. However, processing the food into a commercial nut butter increases the amount of fat that is released. 

  • The health benefits of nuts, and how studies have shown a 20% decrease in cardiovascular disease risk from  consuming two servings of about a handful each per week—and how consuming much larger amounts of nuts were associated with greater health benefits and did not seem to impact weight. 

  • Why we need to be holistic when we think about our diets and four key points to consider: the food you choose, who you are (including sex, age, and genetics,) how you eat (meal timing, rate, food order, etc)  and finally the way behind your food choice.

  • How stress and inadequate sleep impact both food choices and how our body responds to food—lack of sleep and stress are both linked with bigger glucose spikes.

  • The rate we consume food, how ultra-processed foods are easier to consume more quickly, and how eating more quickly is linked with consuming more total calories each day. 

  • And much more!

310: Have We Been Wrong About Cholesterol, Statins, and Heart Disease? | Aseem Malhotra, MD

Comment

310: Have We Been Wrong About Cholesterol, Statins, and Heart Disease? | Aseem Malhotra, MD

Dr. Aseem Malhotra is a prominent British cardiologist and advocate for public health. He is known for his contributions to the field of cardiology and his emphasis on lifestyle interventions for preventing and managing chronic diseases. Dr. Malhotra has published several scientific papers and authored several bestselling books, including his most recent, A Statin-Free Life. Dr. Malhotra also has a new documentary coming out called First Do No Pharm.











 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Dr. Malhotra’s evidence-based approach to treating heart disease, and why he does not emphasize reducing cholesterol, or even worry about saturated fats. 

  • The minimal benefits associated with taking statins, and the most common side effects, including fatigue and muscle pain, as well as rare, but more serious side effects. 

  • Chronic stress increases chronic inflammatory markers in the blood, making it a risk factor for heart disease similar to smoking, type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure. Stress management techniques such as spending more time hugging and practicing meditation can make a big difference, but you should also examine ways to reduce stress in your life. 

  • Even mild hypertension (blood pressure over 140/90) increases the risk of stroke. However, lowering blood pressure with medication in mildly hypertensive individuals does not show a protective effect. Diet and meditation are powerful interventions for blood pressure management.

  • Why brisk walking 30 minutes daily is enough for most people, why salt is probably not raising your blood pressure (but ultra-processed carbohydrates might be) and which Mediterranean foods should be the cornerstones in a heart healthy diet.

  • And much more!

307: How Daily Cold Showers Can Help Burn Fat, Improve Metabolism, and Alleviate Depression | Susanna Søberg, PhD

Susanna Søberg, PhD is a leading scientist in cold and heat therapy for stress reduction, improved health, and performance optimization. She is founder of Soeberg Institute, where she teaches her popular “Thermal Cure” courses. She recently published her first book, Winter Swimming: The Nordic Way Towards a Healthier and Happier Life









 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How brown fat, a type of adipose tissue that increases heat in the body, becomes activated when the temperature starts to drop below around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. When brown fat becomes activated, it starts to burn white fat for fuel. 

  • How it’s possible to grow more brown fat and increase your metabolism by simply sleeping in a room below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and the massive benefits to metabolic health that can be gained from this. 

  • Different ways to do cold exposure, including cold showers, cold plunge, spending time outside in the cold air, winter swimming, and the most low barrier methods of simply plunging your hands or feet in a bowl of icy water—and the surprisingly low amount of time you need to spend in a cold water to gain the benefits!

  • Why doing hard things, like cold immersion, has been linked with better mental health and increased focus, and how it helps you develop mental toughness and become a more resilient person in general.

  • The importance of starting off slow with any type of hormetic stressor, and why you should understand there’s always an upper limit, where you start seeing diminished returns. They have found the upper limit in studies about sauna, but more studies are needed on cold immersion. 

  • And much more!

Named "one of the most influential people in health", Bornstein is the CEO and founder of Born Fitness. Previously, he was the editorial director for LIVESTRONG.COM and the fitness editor for Men's Health magazine. His new book, You Can’t Screw This Up: Why Eating Takeout, Enjoying Dessert, and Taking the Stress out of Dieting Leads to Weight Loss That Lasts, takes on diet culture and the wellness industry, presenting a no-B.S. approach to fat loss without the pseudoscience and gimmicks.,








 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Weight loss myths, including the way we think about metabolism, and that there’s a one size fits all diet. 

  • How to co-exist in our messed up food environment, and what makes a great diet—a diet that isn’t too restrictive for you personally, and one that includes the foods you love. 

  • Simple hacks for balancing your meals by tweaking carbs or fat, and a healthier way of eating the food from your favorite restaurants by ordering takeout—which gives you more control, allowing you to  bypass several cues for overeating and be specific with instructions for how you want your food prepared.

  • How to turn small wins into big wins by slowly pushing out of your comfort zone until the hard things become easy things.

  • Why ultra processed food encourages us to overeat, the importance of setting boundaries around food that you can live with, and why 80 to 90% adherence should be seen as a win.

  • The power of nutrition for healing and preventing age related eye diseases, migraines, and the specific nutrients, foods, and supplements for managing and preventing these conditions.Why Kale is the #1 food for eye health,  other great sources of macular carotenoids; lutein and zeaxanthin—and why pistachios are the number one nut for eye health!

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How black and white thinking might be what’s keeping you unhealthy, and the biggest weight loss myths, including that you should only focus on calories in/calories out, or that you should exclusively focus on insulin and hormone balance.

  • What a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) is, and why wearing one helps you cultivate an awareness of how your unique body responds to certain foods, exercise, stress, and sleep. 

  • Why glucose is a good biomarker to focus on—having stable glucose means having stable energy and being able to focus. Weight loss is often a side effect of stable blood sugar. 

  • How to understand your genetic risk factors, including things like APOe4 gene, which increases your risk for developing Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease—and why genetic predisposition is only part of the equation, which Kara likens to a loaded gun—the trigger is pulled by your habits and lifestyle, which you have control over.

  • Why the omnivore diet is optimal, how to enhance your body’s natural detoxification processes, and Max’s tasty overnight oats recipe that fuels his morning workouts! 

  • And much more!

302: The Shocking Root Cause of Cancer and How to Starve It Naturally | Thomas Seyfried, PhD


 Thomas Seyfried, PhD is a professor at Boston College and a prominent researcher and professor in the field of cancer biology and metabolic therapy. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer.





 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • The risk factors for developing cancer(anything that disrupts how our mitochondria generate energy using oxygen,)including exposure to carcinogens, radiation, chronic inflammation, rare genetic mutations, and viruses

  • Cancer is metabolic in origin—why cancer is not a genetic disease, and how Seyfried’s research demonstrates that mutations to genes come as a downstream effect.

  • Cancer cells can not use ketones or fatty acids; they depend on glucose or glutamine—and studies have shown that the higher blood glucose levels are, the faster cancer cells grow. A keto diet, combined with new metabolic drugs could be the future of cancer treatment.

  • PFAS (forever chemicals) are impossible to completely avoid, but we can mitigate the damage from the dangerous chemicals we are exposed to by eating a clean diet composed of minimally processed foods, including animal products and low-glycemic fruits and vegetables.

  • Daily exercise, both cardio and resistance training, is imperative for cancer prevention. For cancer patients, it’s important to continue to exercise, but be aware that intense exercise can increase inflammation. 

  • And much more!

301: How Colostrum Can Heal Food Sensitivities, Autoimmune Disease, and Skin Problems; Preventing Headaches | Sarah Rahal, MD

301: How Colostrum Can Heal Food Sensitivities, Autoimmune Disease, and Skin Problems; Preventing Headaches | Sarah Rahal, MD

Dr. Sarah Rahal is a double board-certified  pediatric neurologist and headache medicine specialist. Dr. Rahal has additional training in functional medicine. Her interest in root cause medicine led her to founding ARMRA™ Colostrum.





 



What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Migraines are not solely characterized by headaches. Dr. Rahal explains that migraines are a disease of dysregulation involving vascular pathways and the immune system. There are multiple symptoms associated with migraine, including sensitivity to light, smells, changes in vision, and nausea.

  • Migraines are your body’s cry for help. If you feel a migraine coming on, there are steps you can take to possibly prevent it, or at least shorten the duration. Start with hydration and resting in a dark room.

  • In the 1960s 1.6% of children had a chronic medical condition. Today, that number has skyrocketed to 54%. 

  • Liquid gold—how colostrum works to seal up mucosal barriers throughout the body from nasal mucosal barrier to mucosal barrier cells in our gut. Colostrum has even been shown to be three times more effective than the flu vaccine in preventing flu in elderly adults! 

  • The fallacy of boosting your immune system—our immune systems do not need boosted or suppressed, but rather balanced. Prebiotics and colostrum are two great ways of repairing your gut, which is where 80% of your immune system is located. 

  • And much more!
