J'ai eu le plaisir d'apparaitre pour une 3e fois sur le podcast acadien "Cosser T'en Penses?" avec mes amis Frank et Lee.

Durant cet épisode, qui sera la dernière de 2024 et la 55e de l'année, on parlera des nuances en nutrition, des exagérations vues en ligne et souvent partagées par les non-experts dans le but de créer des émotions. Souvent, les gens profitent de la vulnérabilité des gens afin de leur vendre une solution basée sur des niveaux de preuves scientifiques doutables. 

Enjoy la dernière épisode de l'année et on se revoit 2025!

Êtes-vous un adolescent francophone, ou le parent d’un ou une? 

Connaissez-vous les sujets qui préoccupent plusieurs de nos ados?

Si oui, cet épisode pourrait être pour vous!

J’ai récemment eu le plaisir de collaborer avec la classe de Mme Stephanie de l’école Mathieu Martin de Dieppe, au Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. 

J’ai reçu plein de bonnes questions qui ont générer des discussions nuancées sur la santé de l’adolescent. 

Durant cet épisode, nous discuterons de suppléments, de caféine, de déshydratation, de vitamines, d’alcool et de plusieurs autres sujets pertinents pour la santé de l’ado!

Alors si vous êtes un ou une ado, ou bien que vous en connaissez, cet épisode pourrait être fort intéressant pour vous!

Online influencers praise and sell their health hacks to vulnerable individuals. They prey on people’s fears and create problems in order to sell them the solution. Although biohacks seem sexy, their impact on long term health are eclipsed by the actual impact of proper lifestyle choices.

Nutrition, exercise, sleep, social connections and stress management may not be as sexy as cold plunges, but they’re exponentially more important.

People often use the slogan « Everything in Moderation » to either justify unhealthy habits, or to fear monger others. One of my patients was scared of the radiation from a mammogram, while walking around with an LDL-C of 5.2.

She refused breast cancer screening when 1/8 women will get diagnosed and also minimized her very high blood cholesterol levels, unknowingly living with a very high risk of cardiovascular disease, our world’s top killer.

While the scientific literature is quite clear, people online are confused.

Have you ever heard of turmeric, the golden yellow spice that supposedly has many health claims, like accelerated healing, treating inflammation and reversing auto-immune conditions?  Is this hype or evidence based?  Since it costs pennies per day, it probably isn’t a marketing scam, because there’s no profit margin in selling spices.

Spices are perfectly suited to get studied in double blind, randomized and placebo controlled trials.  They fit neatly into capsules and can be tested against inactive placebos easily.  Turmeric (and its potent pigment curcumin) is one of the most studied spices ever.  

What does the science say about it?

Even after transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, we still end up making up less than a few percent of the population.  Estimates suggest that 7-8% of Canadians are vegetarian and a much lower percentage of them are vegan.  Having been a meat eater for most of my life, I can still relate to the thought processes and cognitive dissonance that would create resistance for anyone thinking of making a transition towards plant-predominance.  I've been a plant-based advocate for almost a decade, and my transition towards a plant-exclusive diet was, in my opinion, quick, having transitioned fully in about 18 months.  « Plant-based » is an umbrella term, including all forms of vegetarianism, veganism and flexitarianism (a term used to describe people who eat a plant-predominant diet, but do include small amounts of animal products).  When people tell me: « I could never stop eating meat », I reply: « You don’t have to ».  Never let being perfect get in the way of being better.  

Lifestyle change can be motivated by intrinsic factors, or extrinsic ones.  Acquiring new habits must align with one's beliefs and core values.  It has to be who you want to be.  I wanted to be healthy, and after having went through a few medical scares, I recognized that my nutrition had to change.  This intrinsic motivation was enough for me.  I saw my daughters suffer from the same health issues that had plagued me and the pain I felt while witnessing this far surpassed the friction that a lifestyle overhaul would cause.  This highly motivated me to change with a sense of urgency.  Within 18 months, I had transitioned fully and the rest of my family soon followed.  Would I have changed if my health challenges hadn't arose?  Would I have spontaneously stumbled across the scientific data backing the whole food plant-based diet if I hadn't been searching for it?  And if so, would I've been as receptive to hearing what the science had to say?

Due to increases in demand, plant-based meat substitutes have gained quite the following.  Social media has helped spread a message of environmental suffering and has also shone a light on the steady rise in chronic diseases linked to excessive meat consumption.  Lots of people are trying to cut back on red and processed meats, which is a good plan since they've officially been classified as carcinogens.  Although they've been around for a while, fake-meat products have gained lots of popularity thanks to this increased awareness about the not so sexy side of meat, as well as some great marketing tactics, including celebrity endorsements.  But what about the scientific data surrounding these trendy meat replacements?  Considered to be processed foods, are they as bad as other ultra refined, yet highly palatable foods?

This one says to eat according to your blood type, while that one recommends eating like cavemen.  In 2013, the Paleo diet was the most googled diet out there.  Did anyone tell the Paleos that cavemen barely lived to thirty?  What about the keto diet?  That one regained popularity in 2016.  Why would we want to avoid fruits, grains and beans when they’re among the foods most associated with health and longevity? You probably know someone who had great results with keto, but is it just me, or is it slightly suspicious telling people to avoid well studied health foods while doubling down on bacon and red meat, which are confirmed class 1 carcinogens?

Never has a weight loss diet created so much controversy and division.  The ketogenic diet has been referred to as the best diet for health and weight loss, and has been also called a dietary disaster waiting to happen.  Who should we believe?
