YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast The Tipping Point

• Shannon Davis is a registered dietitian, but she describes herself as a "rogue" dietitian. (1:30)
  • She has worked in organ transplant centers.
  • Fatty liver disease is a carbohydrate or sugar problem, but patients were never taught that.
  • Patients had always been told it was a problem with fat, protein, or fried foods.
  • Dietitians need to be reflective and question the information they are recommending. (3:30)
• As a pharmaceutical rep, she realized she was peddling meds and not helping, and she hit her tipping point. (5:00)
• She discovered the low-carb and ketogenic health space, and now she feels she has found her purpose in teaching a healthy lifestyle.
• They discuss misinformation regarding carbs and "complex carbs." (14:00)
• Shannon reviews her medical education and what she was advised to teach diabetics about carbs. (15:00)
• Besides interventions in dietary guidelines and metabolic health,
• The Presidential Physical Fitness Test for students should be required in schools again. (33:00)
  • Kids have become sedentary, and they become adults who sit in cubicles. (42:00)
• The amount of medications prescribed for metabolic health is skyrocketing. (45:00)

Weight Loss Medications

• Shannon is not opposed to medications; however, she firmly believes there is a place for them when truly necessary. (49:00)
  • However, GLP-1s are overprescribed without a full understanding of their side effects, and oftentimes for minor weight loss.
  • For example, hyperplasia: fat cells get smaller, but they multiply. This means that when you get off the drug, you will gain fat back, and in larger amounts.
• Side effects are loss of muscle and bone, digestive paralysis, optic nerve damage, erectile dysfunction, suppressed autophagy, and much more.
• There are natural ways to boost your own body's GLP-1. (57:00)
