Welcome! And thank you for listening.

One of the biggest barriers to lasting change is that every dietary pattern asks us to give something up. Whether it is processed carbohydrates, sweets, or other comfort foods, we have to replace the pleasure they once provided with something that better aligns with our long-term goals. Understanding your "why" is essential to creating lasting change. For me, that means improving insulin resistance, lowering inflammation, and helping people regain metabolic flexibility so their bodies can efficiently use stored fat for energy.

In this episode, I discuss how dopamine influences cravings, why insulin resistance makes weight loss so difficult for many people, and why constantly eating and snacking can keep us trapped in a cycle of elevated glucose and insulin. I also share why I believe nutrition should always be individualized and why education, community, and support are critical for creating lasting change.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

I have been to Alaska fishing! I am back with fresh salmon and halibut.  I am also back to training for my ultras and promoting a low carbohydrate high fat approach for improving metabolic health? 

How could I have been so wrong?  Is a plant based diet good for anyone? Is it carbohydrates or sugar.  Is being lean the same thing as being metabolically healthy?   I have come to believe it is not.  I would like to share a few success stories on how a low carb, high fat diet has helped with glucose control, gastrointestinal symptoms, and triglycerides.  It seems crazy that eating a high fat diet would help those things but listen for yourself.  

Smart people have been arguing for years.  People talk a good and convincing game.  However, there is a lot of faith and bias involved in nutrition recommendations.   Take a listen.  It is not always as it seems.  Keep an open mind and do your own digging.  

Thanks for listening and Happy Birthday America!  Go USA!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

When it comes to health information, it is really hard to find someone that isn't biased.  One way is to be cautious of those making a living selling their own cause.  

My mission is to help people live longer and healthier.  It is my job to continue learning and educating people on the best information I can find.  Even if it does not agree with my once held beliefs.  Dr Gregor suggested that eggs are bad because of their cholesterol.  When you read the sources, it certainly shows that cholesterol is in adipose tissue.  And there is inflammation.  But it is far from causation and even the study authors admit to not understanding the role cholesterol plays in inflammation.  Most of our cells make cholesterol and have cholesterol in the membrane.  Surely, we would not possess such a substance if it had no use.  Context matter.  I will discuss this line of thinking as well as how I use testing to confirm a diagnosis rather than screen without regard for pretest probability.  

I have adopted a low carbohydrate high saturated fat approach to insulin resistance.  I will be looking to improve fasting insulin levels, decrease HgA1C, improve body composition, and decrease inflammation.  Using these markers, we will work to dial in members markers to attain optimal metabolic health.  If you would like to join us.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.

I practice medicine in a private practice clinical setting.  I develop lasting relationships with patients for years.  I see their health stats and their struggles over years.  I observe their family interactions.  This allows me to have a unique view of specific health trends.  My practice has been a Plant based wellness practice for 10 years with classes and cooking demonstrations teaching plant based nutrition.  We also have weekly and monthly exercise and mobility sessions.  Today I would like to share with you what has been happening to folks following or trying to follow a largely unprocessed plant based diet that is 70-80 percent carbohydrate.  It is because of these findings, that I have now adopted an animal based low carbohydrate, high fat diet. 

We will then compare this approach to dietary interventions treating diabetes before and after the availability of injectable insulin.  Ultimately, you get to decide what approach might serve you best.  We understand the principles and support our patient's choices.

Welcome! and thank you for listening.  

There has been some great feedback on a low carbohydrate/high fat diet.  Patients are noting weight loss, improved sleep, improved mobility with less joint stiffness and better glucose control to name a few.  Things I never thought I would see especially so quickly.  

However, a there have been some people very disappointed in my direction shift.  Many of them had relied on me to convince their spouses that eating plant based was the way to go and now I have pivoted.  Others are very uncomfortable facing their friends and answering a whole new set of questions on diet change.  My advice would be don't worry be happy.  Be happy with the good qualities of your friends and family and they will continue to support you as well. 

Eggs: are they good or bad?  I will present some data on eggs and dementia and eggs and diabetes.  You get to choose.  However, I am feeling really good about eating my eggs daily.  I hope you find the discussion entertaining and thought provoking.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  It has been a week of growth and discussion for sure

There has been some early positive results with nutrition shifts to a low carbohydrate high fat diet for many people.  There has been improved sleep quality, weight loss, better energy, better glucose control early in their journeys.  Some have struggle with low energy levels that have been corrected by changing the types of foods they are consuming.

However, there have been anger issues and stones have been thrown.  People have felt excluded and lead astray thinking they signed up for a plant based community and now it is gone.  

What we have in common in this community is a desire to reach optimal health and wellness through nutrition and movement.  Just like there are many ways to exercise, there are many ways of achieving optimal nutrition.  There are no mandates to change if their current program is working.  The only difference is options.  In this episode I encourage people to see what they have in common as opposed to focus on differences.  Perhaps learn to respect those with a different view or opinion.  And if nothing else control the environment around your own feet and project a positive light for others to see.  

Thanks for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

Dr. Richard Feynman, the Nobel Laureate Physicist said, "You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest to fool"

Well then let's get down to business.  The Badwater virtual 267mile race is almost completed and I feel great running an average of 16.7 miles a day on a mere 4 grams of carbohydrate.  I would never of guessed, but I am quite happy about it.

Today I will review in a much different view, The China Study.  It was first published in 2006 and I have read and referenced it several times to justify my plant based dairy free diet.  I read the book but did not dig deeper until now.  I will share the concerns with you on the episode.  It is enough to dismiss all of the findings? No.  What good came out is that we should eat real food.  No processed.  Avoid sugar and seed oils. However, the protection from plant proteins are certainly suspect versus animal protein.  Listen, learn, read and make your own conclusions.  

Thank you for listening.

Are you eating eggs, animal products?

Dr E and Ann are doing fine.  Why change?

Does a high fat diet cause muscle wasting?

Is this way of eating sustainable for everyone?

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Today's episode embarks on a new journey for me as I adopt a high fat, low carbohydrate diet.  Before you call 911 take a listen and follow my journey.  

I have not changed my desired to improve the health span for all of the people I encounter. It is now taking an exciting shift.  Diabetes, glucose intolerance, or insulin resistance is the leading cause of vascular mortality and morbidity.  It is my goal to have this not happen.  Please enjoy the episode.  Thank you for listening
