As new diet fads circulate around the internet and the latest trends and research seems to change every other day, finally some pieces of the “what’s making me fat” puzzle are starting to fit together. Even more so, with today’s health concerns, obesity is no longer the only indicator for poor health and metabolic disease. Dr. Richard Johnson is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and kidney disease and is known as the Fructose Expert. In this episode he’s breaking down the orchestrated events taking place in our bodies between sugar, salt, and how your foods are triggering you to gain weight.Check out Dr. Richard Johnson’s latest book, Nature Wants Us to Be Fat: https://amzn.to/3u1Amih SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Dr Richard Johnson0:42 | Why We Get Fat6:18 | Fructose Signaling17:47 | Is Fructose the Problem26:34 | The Dehydration Trigger34:59 | Watch Your Salt Intake41:00 | The Role of Uric Acid47:34 | Get Your Vitamin C51:36 | Avoid These FoodsQUOTES:“There is a switch that animals use to go from being us normal weight to overweight, that switch, you can activate it by certain types of foods.” [1:53]“The fat is like the firewood, and the sugar is like the fire. So if you take away the fire, and you go on a low carb diet, and you are in high fat now, well, there's no stimulus to gain weight because because you've taken away the fructose” [17:18]“One of the classic means for stimulating fructose turns out to be from a high glucose level in the blood.” [23:02]“When you eat, if your glucose goes up in your blood, it triggers the production of fructose.” [37:59]“So it's either the fructose you eat, or the fructose you make if you eat a lot of fructose, you're going to activate the switch.” [38:58]“We have a higher uric acid, and this makes us more sensitive to the effects of fructose because fructose is working through uric acid. [...] and when that happens, we become very sensitive to sugar” [40:14]“In the potency sugars, number one, high glycemic carbs are probably number two. salty foods are distant three, and umami is maybe even a four.” [44:36]“Exercise turns out to be a great way not to lose weight, cause it doesn't burn many calories, but it stimulates the mitochondria, you won't notice the benefit except the benefit’s going to be happening.” [55:46]Follow Richard Johnson: Website: <a href="https://drrichardj...

The ketogenic diet is so popular that it was searched over 25 million times in one year. Some experts support its effectiveness to help people lose weight, while others claim that it’s the worst diet to try. Research and data have advanced and proven that everyone has it wrong. Dr. Steven Gundry is with Tom explaining why he and the rest of the medical community got ketosis all wrong. He shares why mitochondrial uncoupling is really the star and this is what you need to know to make your dieting experience easier and more effortless. No need to live completely devoid of carbohydrates on a keto diet any longer.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Dr. Steven Gundry0:55 | What You Got Wrong About Keto8:05 | Why Mitochondria Is Key to Keto12:22 | Metabolic Flexibility & Fat Burning18:53 | What Ketones Are Signaling23:05 | Mitochondrial Uncoupling34:53 | The Miracle Weight Loss Drug39:38 | Benefit of Polyphenols46:35 | Mitochondria DNA is Female50:01 | Restricted Eating & Feeding Times56:40 | Blue Zone Diets & Goat MilkQUOTES:“50 percent of normal weight individuals have no metabolic flexibility.” [13:03]“At full ketosis, human beings can only meet 30% of their calorie needs by burning ketones. The rest have to come from free fatty acids and glucose.” [19:09]“Ketones are not a super fuel, they are actually a signaling molecule that tells mitochondria to protect themselves at all cost from damage” [20:15]“In a ketogenic diet, if you do it right and uncouple your mitochondria, you waste fuel. You feed six dogs instead of one, and that's where the benefit of ketosis comes from.” [30:21]“You want to cycle in and out of ketosis on a 24 hour basis.” [49:37]“It's the cycling in and out of getting the benefits of ketosis. Without full ketosis, that makes all the difference.” [56:29]Follow Dr. Steven GundryWebsite: https://gundrymd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gundrymd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GundryMD/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxo0nTZjzlKJq5-vJq6s6g

Some people begin to age much sooner than others, while others seem to have golden genetics of youth on their side. What if you found out that scientific research is now able to reverse your biological clock up to 3 years? You may be skeptical, you may be curious, or you may be excited for what this means to your future. Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is a functional medicine physician and clinical director that just published a new book for the non-medical people trying to improve their health and age more gracefully called Younger You. She’s joining Tom and revealing everything you don’t know about methylation and epigenetics, why it matters to you and the simple things you can do to gain back 3 years of your biological clock in roughly 8 weeks.Check out Dr. Kara Fitzgerld’s Younger You: https://amzn.to/3vsez5T SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction Dr. Kara Fitzgerald1:43 | How DNA is Packaged &Expressed4:44 | Understanding DNA Methylation 9:22 | Methylation Cycle Explained14:14 | Lifestyle Effects on Methylation18:30 | Passing Stress Through DNA24:41 | Inheriting Trauma and Resilience27:28 | Unintended Generational Influence37:35 | Methylation Diet Strategy47:29 | Stress, Sleep, and ExerciseQUOTES:“If we're going to turn back the hands of time by decades, are we going to, by extension, remove the molecules of wisdom that have embedded in our DNA?” [0:41]“If we're not sleeping, we're aging.[...] sleep is an essential component of good epigenetic expression. Insomnia ages people and that's been demonstrated…” [49:11]“Stress is one of the most pro aging experiences that we can have, and that we need to be paying attention to turning it off and not allowing it to drag us by the hair.” [51:04]“People who meditate regularly are biologically younger, but just one meditation experience can still have a favorable influence.” [52:28]“Exercise will turn back on those previously inhibited tumor suppressor genes [...] exercise is like eating a vegetable.” [53:28]Follow Dr. Kara Fitzgerald: Website: https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Drkarafitzgerald Twitter: https://twitter.com/kfitzgeraldnd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkarafitzgerald...

And because of that, it's the reason that a monotherapy or a one drug approach to Alzheimer's, for example, is beyond myopic. It's never going to work.” [03:02]“Our metabolic health globally is in a terrible place. I mean, a third of American adults have hypertension, and 10% of kids aged 12 to 18 have hypertension. That's crazy. 50% of adult Americans will be obese by the year 2030. Not just overweight, but obese.” [04:16]“Elevation of uric acid is associated with an 80% increased risk of dementia, a 55% increase risk of Alzheimer's specifically, and a 165% increased risk of vascular dementia.” [13:53]“What would be the upside of having uric acid create insulin resistance, and therefore cause blood sugar to go up? Why? Because when you're starving, it'll help power your brain.” [16:50]“What we're seeing now are these metabolic derangements that underlie these diseases that represent a disconnect between evolution and environment.” [22:06]“If it has a barcode, and it's in the grocery store, it has added sweetener - 70% do.

Until recently the idea of longevity felt more like reaching your 90s and possibly 100 at best, and if you manage to accomplish that goal, a high quality of life would be best and expected. But what if you could extend your lifespan by even 10 years? Making sure that those years are exciting and meaningful would be a priority. Dr.David Sinclair, world renowned geneticist, is joining Tom in this episode to break down exactly why it is that we age on a cellular level, and what is now becoming possible in terms of slowing down our biological clock and even possibly reversing our biological age. If you want to know what you can do to start improving the quality of your aging life and stay younger longer this episode is for you, and you’ll want to check out Dr. David Sinclair’s newest podcast, Lifespan (link below).SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to David Sinclair0:28 | Why We Age9:40 | What Goes Wrong With Aging23:44 How to Reverse Aging37:35 | Face Adversity45:37 | How Metformin Works55:02 | Lifestyle for Longevity“We could have reversed aging just by making all cells a stem cell, we have the technology to do that.” [23:43]“So we're reversing the aging of the eye, that's not hard at all, but we can reverse the age of the liver, the skin, other labs are doing the spleen, thymus, through this method.” [31:13]“Humanity lucked out that we can actually do this and that there's a backup copy of youth in each of our cells that can be tapped into.” [32:03]“We don't think about what it's like at the end, it is not fun. It's not typically like, Oh, you just go to sleep. Those are the lucky ones.” [36:39]“The main concept that I think we all need to remember is that our bodies respond well to perceived adversity.” [38:55]Follow David Sinclair: Website: https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/davidsinclairpodcast Podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifespan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd/ Twitter: <a href="https://twit...

You might have a little more stimulus, but you'll have more fatigue, which might delay recovery, and that's going to affect total volume and volume is a superior driver than fatigue” [26:01]“The vertical diet was intended to be more inclusive of what historically I had seen as over rest...

How can you achieve that goal and does achieving that goal start the same for everyone? Per usual there is an abundance of information out that can be highly contradictory to each other and there is also a lot of narrative and research even showing results that are based on ulterior motives. Is it better to follow the research that says go vegetarian because animal proteins are not good for humans? Could it be better to stick with data that supports high quality proteins from an animal based diet? Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is joining Tom for another informative conversation about how transparent conversations, research and data need to be shared to better inform people about the best ways to protect muscle and thus achieve longer, healthier, more fulfilling high-quality lives. Being focused on strength and the functionality of muscles and what is required to maintain and build healthy muscle is a must for anyone thinking about longevity.

You have to both have muscle and a diet that isn't overwhelming your system.” Tom Bilyeu [27:29] “Our expectation is now to lower the quality of evidence to be able to say, well, no plant and animal protein are the same. No, they're not!” [31:01] “Skeletal muscle is an organ system, just like the thyroid. It should be tested and treated as such.” [40:50] Follow Gabrielle Lyon:Website: ht...

Unfortunately, in reality you may have a friend that can kill a whole pizza, have dessert and eat extra fries without gaining an ounce of weight. Others seem to put on weight even looking at a plate of food. What’s the deal? Why is it so easy for some people to gain weight and so hard for others. Why are so many people still sold on the calories in and calories out solution to obesity and weight control? Gary Taubes is an investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author. His latest book, The Case for Keto, tackles a lot of the misinformation around calories and why some people struggle with losing weight even when calories are restricted to the point of a starvation diet. We are led to believe that overeating is the problem, but what if eating too much isn’t what’s making you fat? What if your partner's problem is really how sensitive their body is to storing fat? This interview may be the missing piece of the puzzle that will help you and the people you love make the right diet changes, today.
