Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food
Catherine Shanahan
In *Deep Nutrition*, Dr. Catherine Shanahan examines diets from around the world, such as the Mediterranean, Okinawa, and 'Blue Zone' diets, to identify four common nutritional habits that have been developed over millennia.
These habits—fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats—form the basis of what Dr. Shanahan calls 'The Human Diet.
' The book explains how these traditional foods can improve mood, eliminate cravings, boost fertility, sharpen cognition, eliminate allergies and diseases, build stronger bones and joints, and improve skin health.
It also delves into the connection between diet and gene health, showing how food can alter DNA and affect future generations.

The obesity code
Jason Fung
In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original theory of obesity that emphasizes the role of hormones, particularly insulin and insulin resistance, in weight gain.
He argues that traditional weight-loss methods focusing on calorie counting and excessive exercise are ineffective and instead advocates for intermittent fasting and a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet to achieve lasting weight loss and improve overall health.
The book provides practical, science-based advice on controlling insulin levels and breaking the cycle of insulin resistance.

The big fat surprise
Nina Teicholz
In this book, Nina Teicholz presents a nine-year-long investigation into the history and science of dietary fat.
She argues that the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has been based on weak, inconclusive evidence and has led to disastrous health consequences.
Teicholz documents how misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs.
She explains why traditional foods like meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs are safe and beneficial for health, contrary to long-held dietary dogma.

There is no video for this episode. Anna tries an Epic protein bar. (8:00) Vinnie's Twitter following increased after the Carolla show, and people are asking questions. (11:30) Are peanut butter and quinoa NSNG®? Fuck Quinoa. Peanut butter is not the best butter. Cashew and almond butter are better. Peanut is a little higher in carbs and can be inflammatory for some people. Any nut butter should be eaten in moderation. What about diet soft drinks? Diet soft drinks with chemicals are treated by your body just like sugar. Artificial sugar is just as bad as real sugar. La Croix is okay; (soda) water with some fresh lemon or lime, muddled berries, or a splash of grapefruit juice is better. Check out Anna's websites for recipes! https://annavocino.com/ For her cauliflower tots, dry the cauliflower before rolling it with other ingredients. Vinnie shares some food ideas. An avocado with some olive oil. Good to slow-cook your chicken to get your broth... yummy! When traveling on a plane, he'll take some cheese and have a hard-boiled egg. Airplane food is generally quite bad. Controlling Hunger Dr. Cate is a board-certified Family Physician and is a nutritional consultant for the LA Lakers. Dr. Cate's website is (http://drcate.com/) She helps those with metabolic syndrome to get their metabolism up and running better. Seed oils, like canola oil, are damaging to your metabolism. (48:00) The process of manufacturing the oils makes them toxic (create oxidative stress). Cate believes low-carb diets are very beneficial, especially for controlling hunger. Try to avoid empty calories, but don't worry about calorie counting. Avoid rapid carb drop-off if you have thyroid problems, etc. She believes in intermittent fasting in moderation IF AND ONLY IF it works for you. (54:00) The concern with some fasting methods is people may create more problems and disordered eating for themselves. It's best to do fasting in moderation or work with a knowledgeable doctor if you have a lot to lose. People are frequently hungry because their metabolisms are damaged by bad diets and lifestyles. Pituitary inflammation can make you hungry. Anna has specific questions about fasting blood sugar and cortisol. (1:05:00). Cate defines "bad fats" vs. natural fats.
