29:20 - Mamounis, Kyle J. (2017) "The Dangers of Fat Metabolism and PUFA: Why You Don’t Want to be a Fat Burner," Journal of Evolution and Health: Vol. 2: Iss. 1, Article 9. https://jevohealth.com/journal/vol2/iss1/9/

51:20 - Gluconeogenesis - "For non-ketotic low carb dieting, this energy substrate production may account for much of the observed weight loss; the process of gluconeogenesis from amino acids costs approximately 33% of the energy obtained in the oxidation of the resulting glucose [12]. Additionally, if the saturable urea system [13] is overwhelmed by amino acid derived ammonia, symptoms of hyperammonemia, or “rabbit starvation,” follow [14]. Even at a subclinical level, greater ammonia is a burden on kidney nephrons [15,16]." Mamounis, K.J. The Dangers of Fat Metabolism and PUFA: Why You Don’t Want to be a Fat Burner. Journal of Evolution and Health 2017

#01: Thyroid, CO2, Redox Balance, and Hans Selye's Stress with Georgi Dinkov
Georgi Dinkov, with a background in low carb/Paleo, discusses thyroid, CO2, redox balance, and stress. They highlight the interdependence of energy and structure in functional disorders. The podcast explores the impact of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the synthesis of serotonin, and the rise in illnesses among young people. They also discuss the benefits of metalline blue and vitamin B1, the effects of saturated fat, and strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of night shifts on health.
