TNT Wellness and Nutrition Podcast

For the podcast this week, we discuss natural methods to cure heart burn. The current recommendation for heart burn treatment revolves around the acid suppression theory which states that heart burn is caused by too much stomach acid. This is wrong. Heart burn occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter, which when open allows food to enter our stomach, remains open when it's supposed to close. This allows stomach acid to reflux back into the esophagus which causes pain and discomfort.

Giving acid suppressing medication only treats the symptoms of heart burn, to truly cure this condition you need to add acid back to the stomach not remove it. This will trigger the lower esophageal sphincter to close and remain closed while your stomach digest meals.

The best ways to do this are supplementing with HCL pills which replace what the stomach naturally creates or you can supplement with vinegar around your normal meal times. To learn more about why heart burn isn't caused by too much stomach acid and methods to cure it naturally, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discussed how the potent one two combo of increased light exposure from artificial sources as well as lower intake of high quality vitamin A is leading to increases in cases of night blindness.

The best ways to help save your eyesight are to wear blue light blocking glasses in the evening as well as increases your dietary intake of vitamin A. The source of dietary vitamin A really matters. Plant based vitamin A, beta carotene is only partially converted into true vitamin A retinol therefore the best way to make sure you're getting enough vitamin A in your diet is by eating enough animal sourced foods paired with enough fat to help metabolize the vitamin A fully.

To learn more about vitamin A and why it's so important to get enough in your diet, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss why certain people start to lose hair at an accelerated rate when they start a low carb diet. This can be very alarming for obvious reasons, however, the type of hair loss that occurs when you start a ketogenic diet is called telogen effluvium. This isn't true permanent hair loss. This is shedding of hair at an accelerated rate. The hair will start to grow back eventually. So, there's no need to panic and no reason to stop your new healthy diet. To learn more about why this happens and how you can stop it from happening in the first place, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article that looked into the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training for endurance athletes. This paper showed that BFR endurance training rated the highest in perceived effort compared to traditional high intensity interval training (HIIT), meaning it resulted in the most discomfort by the end of the experiment. However, compared to normal HIIT training, BFR used less oxygen and these subjects had a lower overall HR. This means the BFR group did less work overall. These studies show that BFR can be used as an addition to your endurance training routines, but most likely traditional endurance exercises and HIIT will offer the most benefit.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the mental health crisis affecting the entire world. To truly put this epidemic in perspective, let's go over some of the numbers of people effected by mental health across the world. It's estimated that 322 million people have depression, that's the size of USA! Depression is the #1 cause of disability in the world. 800,000 people per year commit suicide which is the #2 cause of death for young people.

Is there anything we can do about this? Why is this happening? I believe we should look into our diets to see if there's a link between our food intake and our mental health.

The Standard American diet is high carb, high in processed fats, and high in processed foods in general which are low in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and quality proteins.

It's known that a poor diet leads to insulin resistance. 

Is there a link between insulin resistance and mental health? Let's look.

People with depression are 37% more likely to have diabetes.

People with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are 300% more likely to have type 2 diabetes. 

80% of Alzheimers patients are diabetic. 

Now this doesn’t mean IR causes mental disorders, but we can draw some conclusions from this data. We can look at it deeper because we know what the brain needs to work optimally: Vitamins, minerals, fats, cholesterol. 

⅔ of the brain is fat.

20% of fat in the brain is DHA.

20% of the bodies cholesterol is in the brain.

Plant food contain no DHA, no cholesterol, and are low in bioavailable vitamins and minerals.

To learn more about the mental health crisis and how the rise of the plant based diet is leading to more cases of mental health disorders, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article which outlines the Lancet’s recent change on the origin of the Covid-19 virus. It now believes it’s okay to discuss the lab leak theory. This theory states that the Covid virus was man made and was leaked from a lab in China. We chose this article specifically to talk about censorship in the scientific community and to talk about who “fact checks” the fact checkers.

This is extremely important because in order for the scientific community to make any real differences, it has to be able to challenge the current dogma without fear of being “canceled” or dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. But, the current academic climate doesn’t allow any opinions that aren’t in line with the popular narrative to gain any traction, even if that opinion is backed up with strong science. To learn more about why this current climate is causing issues and why the “fact checkers” need to be checked themselves, listen to this week’s podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss how, when, and why you should incorporate some sort of fasting into your daily routine. There are so many benefits to fasting that it would be impossible to list them all, but there are two big benefits that we discuss in the podcast. The first one is overall weight loss, which most people are looking for. The second reason is that fasting also promotes a process called autophagy. This is cellular recycling in which your body goes through and breaks down old and broken cells and replaces them with new healthy cells.

Eating carbohydrates and processed foods constantly, which the standard American diet promotes, actually hinders your bodies ability to reap the benefits of autophagy therefore, changing your diet and incorporating some sort of fasting into your routine will allow your body to better heal from the normal stresses of daily life.

Fasting doesn't have to mean you don't eat or drink for days on end. A very simple and easy way to incorporate fasting into your daily routine is to do some sort of intermittent fast. The most common version is the 16:8 method. This means you eat all your meals in a 8 hour window and the other 16 hours of the day you don't eat any food. During this window you are allowed fluids that contain no or very few calories. Drinks like water, coffee or tea without added sugar or creamer are perfectly fine. 

To learn more about why you should fast and the easiest ways to implement it into your daily routine, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss a study that promotes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as the world's healthiest food, claiming they can add 33 minutes to your life with every serving. This study also claims that hotdogs are the worst food to eat and has the ability to take 36 minutes off of your life. This is complete BS!

I wouldn't recommend people eat too many hotdogs as it is, mainly because of what people eat with hotdogs. They are usually paired with a sugar filled pastry masking itself as a bun. On the same plate, you will usually find some chips and the hotdog will be washed down with a soda or maybe some sugary tea. The worst thing about this proposed meal is everything besides the hotdog! The hotdog itself contains high quality protein, meaning it contains a complete amino acid profile and has those said amino acids in a highly bioavailable form and in their correct ratios. It also will contain essential fatty acids which our body needs to perform optimally. 

So in my opinion, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are way worse than hotdogs. PB&J's contain a ton of sugar, very low quality proteins and contain a ton of the fat, linoelic acid. This is an omega 6 fat that when eaten in excess, can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which is the root cause of the vast majority of diseases of western civilization. Things like heart disease, cancer and diabetes to name a few. 

To learn more about this paper and why it's complete trash, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss Tom's experience running 100 miles in 34 hours. This truly was a gargantuan physical feet. Very few people on earth have ever attempted to run 1oo miles continuously so we thought it would be good for Tom to discuss his journey, explain how he prepped for the race, and how he dealt with adversity during the race as well. At the end of the day the take home message when anyone attempts and accomplishes such a huge feat is that, anything is possible. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do! If you have a big goal in mind, create a plan of attack and execute that plan. No matter what anyone says.
