  • Our guest is Australian Cyndi O'Meara of Changing Habits!
  • Also maker of a new documentary What's With Wheat (featuring Sarah!)
  • Cyndi has a fascinating history!
    • Her mom had 7 brothers, all with haemophilia, which she suspects might due to lead chemicals on the family corn farm in Iowa
    • But the Australian branch did not have health problems and Cyndi wanted to figure out how with an elimination diet
    • So many health benefits right away! The best she'd felt in a decade.
    • She realized that wheat was the number one issue with her and went on to research and discover why that is
  • It's a part of Sarah and many people's health journey to understand what factors contribute to your health.
  • The movie ends on a positive note of "just cook tasty food! It's easier than you think!"
  • Everyone is influenced by Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
  • Rodney Ford was the only person she could find around Australia talking about gluten and wheat.
  • Everyone was so fascinating that she included extended interviews with all the experts.
  • All the experts were given the same questions, but gave very different answers.
  • When she interviewed Stephanie Seneff, her mind was blown, particularly about the shikimate pathway.
    • The shikimate pathway is a metabolic process that every lifeform except animals use to create certain amino acids.
    • Because animals cannot make these amino acids because they cannot do the shikimate pathway, they are essential amino acids that must be obtained in food
  • There were so many topics that there wasn't time to cover in the documentary. Maybe a What's With Wheat 2?!
  • Sarah is a big fan of documentaries for fun, so it was special to see herself in one.
