Do the Hadza really consume 100g of fiber per day? Do we really know what a healthy gut microbiome is? Doubt it! When asked to rank their preferences for food (their diets are essentially meat, honey, berries, baobab fruit, and tubers) they consistently rank honey as their favorite and tubers last! In this video, I break down a number of articles looking at how the Hadza eat, their predilection for honey and meat, their oral health, and the seasonal cycling of their microbiota. I challenge the notion that we know what a "healthy" gut microbiome really is and suggest that this is better defined by clinical outcomes rather than myopic interpretations of individual species/phyla. I also share my own gut results on a nose to tail carnivore diet with honey in it.   Check us out at Heart & Soil (www.heartandsoil.co) if you need more nose to tail nutrition in your life!

Brad Marshall is the author of the Blog Fire In A Bottle and the creator of The Croissant Diet.  Mildly obsessed with food and its history, his work focuses on trying to place current ideas about diet, including keto and carnivore diets into the framework of traditional Dietary patterns.     Brad has a genetics degree from Cornell, a certificate from The French Culinary Institute, has studied cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer center and worked as a programmer for the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project.  He spent the last 15 years raising rotationally grazed pastured pork on his farm in upstate New York while running a butcher shop, local food restaurant and USDA inspected meat processing facility.   Brad is also the founder of Firebrand Meats, which is dedicated to producing pork and poultry products that are low in Linoleic acid, the n6 polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) whose intake has seen a dramatic worldwide increase in the last century.     https://reddit.com/r/SaturatedFat    Time Stamps: 0:13:55 Podcast Begins 0:15:14 Emmy's story https://fireinabottle.net/emmys-story/ 0:15:16 Change your fat, change your life 0:20:55 Disastrous Trends In American Bacon    https://fireinabottle.net/polyunsaturated-fat-pufa-in-pork-and-chicken/ 0:23:55 The problem with pork and chicken in the US 0:30:12 Brad's fascinating background 0:36:19 The croissant diet 0:45:27 Stearic acid vs linoleic acid 0:47:32 Plateaus on a ketogenic diet 0:53:54 Linoleic acid is the likely culprit 0:55:25 The shortcomings of the ketogenic understanding   0:58:58 The feasting mimicking diet 1:04:46 ROS is Satiation https://fireinabottle.net/ros-is-satiation/ 1:08:18 How linoleic acid affects blood glucose and satiety

Stearic acid is an 18 carbon saturated fat that has intriguing effects on the human body. It's been shown to positively affect mitochondrial activity, and diets that are low in cause mitochondria to change activity and phenotype in negative ways. Mouse models of this fatty acid also suggest some profoundly powerful effects on glucose tolerance and visceral fat when compared to oleic acid (18C monounsaturated fat), and linoleic acid (18C polyunsaturated fat). I break it all down in this video and share my RBC fatty acid levels as well as a compelling n=1 case study of Emmy's weight loss with dietary shifts away toward more stearic acid and less linoleic acid.    Check us out at Heart & Soil (www.heartandsoil.co) if you need more nose to tail nutrition in your life!
