This week, we are joined by a New York Times bestselling author who's books you've almost certainly heard of: Why We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories. Way before the "Paleo" movement took off in a meaningful way, our guest today was one of the early opinion leaders to promote the idea that not all calories are the same - and that the idea of just "eating less" regardless of what you eat is fundamentally flawed. Though we have covered diet and nutrition quite a bit on the show, it's such a central aspect of optimal performance that it bears further investigation and occasional repetition. Throughout the episode, we take a really deep dive into not just nutrition, but also how it came to be that everything the average person knows about nutrition is fundamentally wrong. We learn how this misinformation has persisted, why it has been so detrimental, and how things are starting to change all over the world. We talk about paleo nutrition, common dietary misconceptions, and a criticism of bad science. All in all, I think you're going to take away a lot from this episode - I certainly did.
