(6:00) Meat on lettuce is unnecessary, as far as Vinnie is concerned. Even at high-end grocery stores, premium items can still be filled with bad ingredients. Vinnie had to ask his doctor about taking an iron supplement; the doctor's response surprised him. (12:30) Doctors are very busy and you need to be proactive in your health. It may be that Vinnie's overall health is so good, it appears his doctors may need to monitor him less. Back to Vinnie's "lettuce rules." (26:00) What about smoked salmon on a salad? What about a salad as an appetizer? Vinnie never likes to feel stuffed or gluttonous, which leads to the duo philosophizing on some biblical rules. (30:00) There have been delays in Amazon posting "Dirty Keto"; as a result, Vinnie is considering other distributors.

(12:00) Michelle and her wife saw over 32 medical professionals about the cancer diagnosis, and only one made a suggestion about nutrition, and it was incorrect advice. (15:30) She shares why a ketogenic diet is beneficial and what kind of changes they made in nutrition. Being in ketosis and paying attention to nutriton can help give you a fighting chance.

Show notes

Episode 2495 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Cate Shanahan about her new book about oxidative stress, the downside of working against nature, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/05/working-against-nature-dr-cate-shanahan-episode-2495 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Root Causes of Oxidative Stress Cate first noticed issues in pro basketball players. (2:30) What she found out was a symptom of metabolic problems. Dr. Shanahan was one of the early voices who emphasized the toxicity of seed oils. (6:00) She explains how she started paying attention to seed oils. Her background in biochemical engineering transitioned to medical school; however, her personal medical issues led her to a deep dive into health. Her book "Dark Calories" is available in Vinnie's Book Club here. She explains the meaning behind the name. (13:00) Metabolic disease is rampant. Being "hangry" is a sign of insulin resistance, which is a stage of metabolic disease. New standards of testing need to happen; she's a big believer in using the HOMA-IR testing. They discuss oxidative stress and seed oils and how they are included in many things. (20:00) She defines what she has named as "The Hateful 8." It's a similar effect of oxidation as cigarette smoking. Vinnie asks her about her list called the "Delightful Dozen." (27:00) She hopes to get more doctors on board in expanding the message regarding various oils and the effects of oxidative stress. (35:00) Free radical particles are caused by oxidative stress; vegetable oils are "oxidative stress in a bottle." (42:30) Empty calories from processed foods and sugars can cause them too. She also challenges the use of protein powders. (46:00) Respecting Nature and how it works is important; trying to "outsmart" nature is a dead-end game. (54:00) The energy model of insulin resistance has to do with your body not being able to use its body fat as fuel. (56:00) Her book "Dark Calories" provides information that can help you reduce cravings while you heal from insulin resistance. (57:00) Working Against Nature Vinnie asks Cate how can people do better. (59:00) She provides several practical food suggestions. "Root cause" knowledge will help you. They pivot to cholesterol. (1:04:00) Cholesterol is a nutrient—it is a building block of cells and hormones. The egg is the most complete package of nutrients you can get. There are plenty of untruths in the "Game Changers" film; they elaborate. (1:06:00) You need to know what is both good and bad about the medical system. The conversation on nutrition is the American College on Lifestyle Medicine, which is a Seventh-Day Adventist group promoting their religious stance on eating and lifestyle. (1:10:00) Vinnie asks Cate's take on GLP-1s. (1:14:00) She is against them for many reasons; the first one is that those drugs are working against Nature. Acute muscle loss is happening to patients on drugs like Ozempic; remember your heart is a muscle. She lists other concerns she has about them. There's a new NSNG® Foods promo code you can use!
