Episode notes

I would argue CrossFit had something to do with that. With the aesthetic women owning their body shape and size and not being afraid of getting big. Like there's a stigma with women in CrossFit that they are extremely muscular. And it became like kind of sexy for a lot of people to see women just own their body shape AND performing as well. I think, yeah, I'll always love strength training. Eric Helens over the weekend was really cool just talking about how he's just an all range like iron culture geek. It is impressive that someone like him is able to compete pretty high level in both.

In Episode #227, I sit down with Alan Flanagan, PhD and Drew Harrisberg to discuss the carnivore diet and veganism, assessing many of the popular claims made by health and nutrition “influencers”. We discuss Big Pharma, social media censorship, and vegan protein intake. We also zoom in on the ethics of veganism, spotting a legitimate academic, and why socioeconomic and environmental factors impact nutrition decisions.

In the current social media climate, it is crucial that we develop the skills necessary to analyse the validity of nutritional claims. During this week’s episode, The Proof welcomes two fan favourites to the show to cover a broad scope of topics in a well-rounded discussion, uncovering the reasoning behind a number of these claims and informing listeners on how to assess them.
