In this video I expand upon the first video where I discussed the epidemiological findings linking sauna to improved health outcomes. I cover the criticism I made in the first video in detail. This does not mean that these epidemiological studies are “wrong”. Rather, they are flawed and constitute weak evidence.I also cover the much-bandied-about specialness of “heat shock proteins”, something that Joe Rogan has often been fascinated by. I show that the mammalian studies looking at overexpression of heat shock proteins actually show earlier death in those models. While heat shock proteins might play a role in the purported health benefits of sauna, there is little evidence that this is actually true. Indeed, the opposite might be true: more heat shock proteins might actually cause an earlier death.Enjoy.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

Random Acts of Wrongness is a catalog of a certain kind of social media misinformation: egregiously wrong statements by prominent online experts.Here I cover Nina Teicholz's claim that Americans ate low-carb diets (just 28% of total calories as carbohydrates!) before the dietary guidelines ruined everything and caused people to start eating carbohydrates for the first time.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

Cold exposure kills muscle and strength gains and may worsen inflammation. It “improves” recovery by improving the mental and emotional state—mainly by activating the sympathetic nervous system. While it does help mental recovery, it does not help—indeed, it impairs—physical recovery. The improvement in mental state caused by ice baths tricks the body into feeling more recovered than it is, even while it harms the recovery of the body.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

Modern, domesticated meat is nothing like what our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed. It contains several times more times more fat, much more saturated fat, and much less polyunsaturated fat. In this podcast, I argue that people who are interested in eating an evolutionarily consistent diet should not consume much fatty modern meat, or should consume seed oils to balance the fatty acid profile. Alternatively, they should reject the idea that a modern diet has to be evolutionarily consistent to be healthy, a concept that I dismantle using several examples and pieces of research.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

In this podcast, I cut through the pseudoscience on the sauna use promoted by Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Huberman. I show that Rhonda and Andrew misrepresent what the scientific literature says in order to hype their public image and accumulate clicks and money. The epidemiological studies that they cite are heavily confounded, and even if they are not, they show no benefit of sauna use in healthy people. The benefit of sauna use in people with chronic disease may be driven by reverse causation. Therefore, there is substantial risk of sauna use, and there may be no benefit. But this side of the story is not told on social media by these two influencers, because it is inconvenient to the Huberman-Patrick hype machine and not profitable.Enjoy.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

In a study from China, use of a salt substitute containing 75% sodium chloride and 25% potassium chloride by adults reduced the rate of stroke, major cardiovascular events, and death by 10-15% over just 5 years. Reference: https://nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2105675 (https://nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2105675)The adults in this study had a history of stroke or who were older than 60 years with a history of uncontrolled blood pressure. There may be less benefit in adults without a history of stroke or uncontrolled blood pressure. I suspect there will still be some benefit.You can replicate the salt formula used in this study by mixing Morton Lite with normal Morton salt, in 50/50 proportions. Morton Lite has 50% potassium chloride. Morton Lite is very similar to regular salt in taste in foods, but with a subtle difference. However, 25% potassium chloride salt is indistinguishable (or superior) according to most people.A recent randomized controlled trial, for instance, shows that subjects prefer 25% potassium chloride salt to regular salt. (The same is not true of 50% potassium chloride salt, according to other studies.)

Three new studies show that time-restricted eating does not produce weight loss benefits greater than simply paying attention to what one is eating or how much one is eating. In this video, I will be covering these three studies, how to interpret them when combined together, what potential benefits there are to time-restricted eating (if not weight loss), and various false claims about each study. Diving into the details will help us grasp what the latest science says and does not say about time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting.Links to studies:https://tos.planion.com/Web.User/AbstractDet?ACCOUNT=TOS&ABSID=23138&CONF=OW2020&ssoOverride=OFF&CKEY=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35443107/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32986097/===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

A new cohort of obesity drugs, called GLP1 receptor agonists, are so effective and safe that they will likely be put into widespread use for the treatment of obesity and achieve unparalleled success in the treatment of this disease—on par with bariatric surgery, but without the surgery. In this video I discuss the latest science and the promise of these drugs—as well as two other new classes of drugs that show similar (and synergistic) promise.Links to references, in the order that they were discussed:STEP1, semaglutide:https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183STEP4, semaglutide:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2777886Semaglutide plus cagrilintide:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00845-X/fulltextMeta-analysis of long-term outcomes:https://www.clinicalkey.com/#!/content/playContent/1-s2.0-S2213858719302499Tirzepatide clinical trial registration:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04184622Bimagrumab:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2774903Small molecule GLP1 receptor agonist:https://diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/article/69/Supplement_1/353-OR/56321/353-OR-Oral-Small-Molecule-GLP-1R-Agonist-PF===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

Due to compensation (more eating drive and/or lower energy expenditure outside of cold exposed periods), cold exposure has been shown in several studies not to result in weight loss. It might even result in weight gain in some situations. This is in direct contradiction to some of the claims made by some of the biggest health influencers like Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Huberman. They need to start telling the truth and stop misrepresenting the science on everything.Enjoy.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/
