Vegan Keto: Managing Type 1 Diabetes, What to Eat, & Effects on Cholesterol · Dr. Carrie Diulus · #133 Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Carrie Diulus is a US board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, endurance athlete, and thriving Type 1 diabetic.

Her choice of fuel for success?

A plant-based, vegan, ketogenic diet.

It's common to think that ketogenic diets need animal-based nutrition sources, yet Dr. Diulus is a shining example for how a ketogenic diet can successfully be adapted to suit the individual.

In this episode, Geoff & Dr. Diulus discuss:

What led Carrie to choose a ketogenic diet to combat her Type 1 diabetes? Where does she get high sources of plant-based fat and protein from?
With Dr. Diulus' holistic approach to patient-centered care, how is she seeing ketogenic / low-carb diets improving surgery outcomes in her own patients?
Multi-day fasting, exogenous ketones, and other insulin-targeting interventions for improving metabolic health

Ketones Improve Intestinal Stem Cell Function - Research Roundup Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

A new study, conducted by MIT, explored how a ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones govern signaling biological programs that maintain intestinal stem cell function.

We know ketone bodies like beta-hydroxybutyrate have signaling roles in the body and can help regulate things like appetite, metabolism, and neurotransmitter function.

This study provides evidence that BHB itself may play a key mediating role in maintaining intestinal health too.

Do ketones themselves (and not necessarily through fasting or a ketogenic diet) alone drive some of the metabolic and functional benefits? What were the exact findings?

Let's find out.

Carnivore Conquers 7-Day Fast, Bacterial Infection, & Depression · Mikhaila Peterson · #132 Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

Mikhaila Peterson has officially coined her version of the carnivore diet: The Lion Diet.

Strictly sticking to ruminant meat, salt, and water cured Mikhaila of her autoimmune issues back in 2018. Most recently, she's been experimenting with multi-day intermittent fasting as another lifestyle and nutritional intervention.

While Mikhaila initially targeted for fat loss, she also found that fasting was a profound tool for mental health and emotional stability.

What else happens when a carnivore embarks on a 7-day fast? Let's find out.

In this episode, Geoff and Mikhaila discuss:

7-Day Fasting: Experience, biomarker data, lessons learned, and tips & tricks
The carnivore diet and how it may have affected Mikhaila's microbiome (resulting in C. Difficile infection)
Evolution of the carnivore community

Heart Health & Diabetes: How Diet & Hypoxia Affects Metabolic Flexibility · Dr. Latt Mansor · #131 Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Latt Mansor is the new Research Lead of H.V.M.N, and we're proud to share his fascinating research and upcoming work with our listeners!

In Dr. Mansor's thesis study, he found that the diabetic heart retains metabolic flexibility to adapt to hypoxia. Hypoxia is a condition when the body lacks adequate oxygen. Since diabetic hearts are more prone to hypoxia, getting closer to understanding if it could adapt to it was an important finding.

For context, diabetes and hypoxia have opposing effects on metabolic substrates in the heart. Diabetes promotes fatty acid oxidation and suppresses glycolysis, whereas adaptation to hypoxia suppresses fatty acid oxidation and promotes glycolysis.

The key result of Dr. Mansor's paper was that diabetic hearts did indeed adapt to chronic hypoxia, by increasing glycolysis and decreasing fatty acid oxidation.

In addition, Geoff & Dr. Mansor discuss:

The implications of the study that was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Medicine, which discovered how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability
The complex relationship between diet, oxygen, and HIF (our oxygen-sensing pathway)
The potential of ketones to improve metabolic inflexiblity

Carnivore vs. Vegan Diet: Separating Science from Dogma · #130 ft. Frank Tufano Oct 14, 2019

Show notes

Animal-based vs. plant-based nutrition - What's most optimal for human health & performance?

Frank Tufano, a follower of an animal-based, zero-carb diet for over 5 years, has garnered quite a unique reputation on Youtube. Along with his informative videos on the ins-and-outs of a carnivorous lifestyle, Frank doesn't shy away from scrutinizing the rapidly growing (and arguably more culturally accepted) plant-based diet.

In this podcast, Geoff and Frank discuss:

· The cultural impact of a recent study (published in Annals of Internal Medicine) that concluded that the current public-health recommendation to eat less red and processed meat isn’t backed by strong evidence

· Cooked meat vs. Raw meat: What are the proposed benefits for consuming raw meat or fermented foods?

· Analyzing the common arguments for veganism (i.e. reducing environmental impact) and how Frank debunks them

Animal-Based, Ketogenic Ultra Runner CRUSHES 100 Mile World Record · #129 ft. Zach Bitter Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

With the 100-Mile American Record already under his belt (for 5+ years), ultra endurance athlete Zach Bitter just outdid himself on August 25th, 2019.

He crushed the 100-Mile World Record, setting a 6:48-mile pace and besting the previous world record by nearly 10 minutes.

Zach is notable for his low-carb, high-fat, animal-based lifestyle as a professional endurance athlete. He first transitioned to the ketogenic diet during an off-season, and immediately felt his sleep, energy, and recovery improve.

By developing a flexible, fat-adapted metabolism, he's able to tactically use carbs to maximize racing performance.

In this episode, Geoff & Zack discuss:

· Zack's 100 Mile World Record, his mental game during racing, and why he got into ultra-endurance sport

· LCHF diets for therapeutic cases vs. performance cases...does an athlete have more "leeway" with eating carbohydrates?

· Carnivore diet for leaky gut & autoimmune issues

Dr. Jason Fung's Tips for Reducing Hunger Pains During Intermittent Fasting · #61 Clip Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

When it comes to intermittent fasting, the most common question from beginners who struggle with the hunger is: “What can you drink during your fast?"

A fasting purist would answer with nothing but water. A more relaxed faster may point you to a cup of black coffee, tea, or bone broth.

Let's face it: Intermittent fasting can be tough...especially for a newbie!

What can one drink to help get them through a fast without "breaking" it?

In this podcast clip, Dr. Jason Fung details why he believes green tea & ketone esters could be an effective "fasting" hack.

Why We Age, and How We Don't Have To · David Sinclair's "Lifespan" [BOOK REVIEW] Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

"Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable."

In his new book, "Lifespan", David Sinclair has proposed a radical new theory of aging, suggesting that the aging hallmarks are symptoms of epigenetic changes that occur over time, but that the original genetic code remains very much intact. If we can reset the code, can we slow, stop or even reverse aging? Sinclair believes we can.

Geoffrey Woo, after digesting "Lifespan", has formulated some interesting thoughts based on the information given and hypotheses proposed in the book.

In this book review, Geoff details the core concepts of aging, the practical ways we can slow it, & his final verdict on Sinclair's bold theory for extending longevity.
