    88 – Longer health and life spans, overweight explanations Feb 23, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 22:16)

    In this show we discuss our experience at an LAfuturists meeting, where Aubrey de Grey gave a presentation on strategies for engineering negligible senescence and the necessary steps to achieving longevity escape velocity. Basically, much more funding of research is needed. Then, we also cover a pretty thorough article in the msm about why Americans are overweight. Excess carbs, especially in the forms of sugar/corn syrup and grain/flour-based products, are the main culprit. Will power only works for so long, so the key is to make lasting mental and lifestyle changes.

    87 – Aging, school foods, rodent brains on fat Feb 04, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 20:40)

    This show we cover a mix of things, starting with the stats on long-lived people in Japan. It turns out that many centenarians and super centenarians might not be alive! We share our thoughts about the aging process and maximizing one’s potential. Some Japanese relatives seem to be working the governmental welfare system. Speaking of “the system,” we cover some of the USDA’s newest guidelines for school lunches. Contrary to dietary dogma, dairy without fat is less healthy than dairy with fat. Consumption of dairy products may or may not be advisable; it varies across individuals (e.g., those lactose intolerant). Keep in mind that milk contains more carbs as well. Lastly, we cover a report about two rat/mouse studies showing that high-fat chow led to hypothalamic inflammation. Yet another example of research that unfortunately bolsters fat-phobia in our culture. See the purportedly non-inflammatory rat chow link below if you’re curious about its ingredients.

    86 – Interview with 100 Plus author Sonia Arrison, part 2 Jan 16, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 20:43)

    We finish our discussion with Sonia about increased longevity, starting with innovation via the benefits of free market dynamics. We also explore various ways to get involved in the anti-aging movement, including the do-it-yourself bio-community. Strategies for Engineering Negligible Senescence is a main organization involved in solving the problem of aging. Will humans be able to not only stop the aging process, but also reverse the damage that aging has wrought? Maybe, and repair of various damage looks promising, given advances in stem cell research, gene therapy, nanomedicine, etc. Various costly mythologies in our culture, which take our focus off individual flourishing, will eventually give way to a more life-enriching, wondrous, and prosperous future for ourselves and humanity in general.

    85 – Interview with 100 Plus author Sonia Arrison, part 1 Jan 06, 2012
    Show notes

    (duration 27:19)In this episode we discuss the book “100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers and Relationships to Family and Faith” with its author, Sonia Arrison. Humans are constantly using technology to change their lives, and this includes extending our lifespans and healthspans. How long would you like to live? This is the question for each of us, as innovation continues. Unfortunately, humans have typically sold themselves short in the realm of longevity. Advances in computers and their application in bioinformatics (e.g., in genomics and proteomics) will continue to prove invaluable in the quest to understand and finally deal with aging. Stem cell and nanomedical technologies will prove key as well. Extended lifespans won’t necessarily mean unsustainable populations and destroyed ecosystems, because humans can be quite resourceful beings. :)

    84 – High-carb paleo issues Dec 17, 2011
    Show notes

    (duration 31:25)In this show we discuss the nature of the controversy about carb consumption among Paleo-style eaters in relation to health and longevity. Some have challenged the idea that Paleo is low-carb as well as the claim that insulin (via excess carbs) is the main culprit in fat gain. So, we explore the nature of insulin once again to dispel the myths surrounding macronutrient calories. The bottom line is that eating fewer grams of carbs per day–thus secreting less insulin–will have positive effects on your fat-burning as well as your long term heath. Perhaps the main misunderstanding, about for instance Gary Taubes’ insulin and fat loss claims, stems from the fact that excess carbs are necessary for fat accumulation, but sometimes not sufficient (depending on your genes). Rigorous scientific investigation is a difficult process, and confirmation bias tends to be an easy process, unfortunately. Keeping tabs on your blood readings is important, especially if you plan on doing an n=1 study on yourself. Needless to say, we’re not in favor of eating 30 bananas a day, or 20 mangos!

    83 – The severe health effects of government Nov 25, 2011
    Show notes

    (duration 29:28)

    After discussing a recent cruise and the nature of the foods onboard, we delve into the parallel needs for self-responsibility and independent thinking in the realms of nutrition and political philosophy. Being major advocates of freedom, we discuss the nature of “government,” particularly its inherent rights-violating and propagandistic ways, which don’t serve the interests of individuals. The corporate food and nutrition industries tend to use the coercive tools of government to promote their own agendas, which aren’t so healthy for individuals either. Fortunately, health care will eventually be based on self-reliance and free market services, not a top-down, hierarchical system at odds with personal choice, property rights, and prosperity. Same goes for children’s education, where intrinsic motivation (rather than external control) is essential for growth and flourishing. Speaking of which, be sure to check out the upcoming PaleoFX Theory to Practice Symposium.

    82 – Nutella and breakfast fare nuttiness, highest intensity crossfit Nov 01, 2011
    Show notes

    (duration 20:35)In this episode we start off discussing chocolate and then examine the nutritional nature of the lawsuit against Nutella. The typical “breakfast foods” that are promoted and consumed tend to have an overabundance of carbohydrates, especially in the form of grains and sugars (such as fruit juices). Nuts and at least 70% dark chocolate rock! The 2011 CrossFit Games were a tour de force in high intensity routines; simply amazing, yet we need to be wary of the high cortisol levels downside. Short, high intensity workouts are great, but overtraining isn’t conducive to health and longevity. Finally, congratulations to low-carber interviewer extraordinaire Jimmy Moore, who celebrated his 500th podcast episode last September.

    81 – Snipping the string of yo-yo dieting Oct 09, 2011
    Show notes

    (duration 26:24)In this episode we discuss the nature of gaining weight back and yo-yo diets. We cover a CBT study wherein subjects were not able to minimize post-treatment weight gain. We attribute this not to the therapeutic treatment per se, but rather to the uncertain nutritional regimen of the participants of the study (involving the caloric theory of weight loss); if you don’t know what will be healthy or unhealthy to eat in terms of various macronutrients, then you’re at a major disadvantage. Additionally, self-knowledge via sentence completion exercises and becoming fluent in nonviolent communication will enable you to form an intimate and empathetic relationship with yourself, which is key to making healthy choices and experiencing happiness for the long term. Oh, and steer clear of the pervasive sweet poison. ;)

    80 – Entering The Zone with Dr. Barry Sears, part 2 Sep 15, 2011
    Show notes

    (duration 26:13)

    In the second half of our interview with Barry Sears, PhD, we begin by discussing the nature of “anti-nutrients,” such as lectins and phytates found primarily in grains and legumes; best to steer clear of them, at least as staples. Everything you eat will have a hormonal and inflammatory consequence. Regarding consumption of omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), adjust based on your level of inflammation–as evidenced by your arachidonic acid to EPA ratio (SIP, or Silent Inflammation Profile)–which will typically mean consuming between 6 and 10 grams of omega 3s per day. Saturated fats aren’t really the villain that the mainstream “experts” have claimed they are; omega 6 fatty acids are more inflammatory. Having a consistent balance of macronutrients is key, consuming more fat (“high octane fuel”), adequate protein, and fewer carbs than typical. Antioxidant supplements tend not to have much empirical support, although polyphenols (found in fruits and veggies) have important health benefits. It’s vital to reduce your intake of refined carbohydrates (flour and sugar or high fructose corn syrup-based products) as well as omega 6 fatty acids, while increasing your intake of omega 3s. And of course calorie restriction tends to increase longevity as well. It’s never too late to get in the zone; you’re only one meal away, after all.

    79 – Entering The Zone with Dr. Barry Sears, part 1 Sep 06, 2011
    Show notes

    (duration 31:15)

    This is the first half of our interview with Barry Sears, PhD, in which we discuss the nature of eicosanoids and in particular arachidonic acid in relation to metabolic health and overall health. Excessive carbohydrate consumption (which is terribly easy to do in our culture) coupled with excess omega 6 fatty acid consumption (and minimal omega 3 fatty acid consumption) tend to lead to chronic inflammation and disease states. The ratio of (long chain) arachidonic acid to (long chain) eicosapentaenoic should be around 1 to 2, but in most individuals it’s much higher, which is due primarily to unhealthy diets—diets not fashioned for our genes. Massive changes in our nutrient intake from our Paleolithic origins can deleteriously affect our levels of hormones, especially the hormones that control the inflammation process. Even if you’re thin, it’s still important to eat foods (and macronutrient ratios) that don’t contribute to insulin resistance and lipotoxicity.
