I am thrilled to have Dr. Ted Naiman, who joined me before for Episode 109, joining me again today.

Dr. Naiman is a board-certified family medicine physician in the Department of Primary Care at a leading medical center in Seattle. He holds an undergraduate degree in engineering and incorporates many of those principles into his clinical practice. In today’s conversation, we get into the most effective strategies for addressing insulin resistance, exploring the U-shaped curve associated with fasting and the potential issues of excessive fasting. We dive into macros, carb restriction, cravings, hedonic eating, weight training, and Zone 2 training, looking at eccentric and isometric training and the negatives of strength training. We explain why calories are of no concern, the difference between animal and plant-based protein, and discuss sarcopenic obesity. Dr. Naiman also shares his take on GLP-1 agonists as a therapeutic approach for weight loss and satiety and answers a series of rapid-fire questions about seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and anti-nutrients,

I am sure you appreciate and enjoy this conversation!
