Also there is an enormous amount of belief on studies that are not double-blind, random, or controlled. The science believed by many is not even good science. Dave is trying to change this. So, with his computer science background, he tries to reverse-engineer cholesterol . Dave is athletic, but had "bad" LDL numbers. Realized many athletes have worse LDL numbers... wanted to figure out why. Thus he decided to look into what cholesterol is and how the lipid system works. More than anything else, lipid system is an energy distribution system Low-density Lipoproteins (LDL) meant to distribute fat based energy Cholesterol rideshares with this fat Figures out ways to artificially lower cholesterol Please check this video explaining some basic stuff about cholesterol . There are four parts to check out Dave learns more each day. Check out Dave's website which is linked in the description above, and here. Once you start learning a little about cholesterol, you feel the need to learn a lot. Every cell in your body has relation to cholesterol. If you don't take cholesterol in, your body will make it. People are being prescribed statins just for having Type II diabetes.

Psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede joins Vinnie Tortorich this Friday, and the two discuss biases, variables, epidemiological studies, the relationship between good nutrition and brain health, artificial sweeteners and more. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club SUGAR & BRAIN HEALTH Went to medical school in Vermont Did her residency at Harvard for four years Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat Not always financial bias Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar) Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy Fish and other meats Pretty extreme diet In ketosis constantly Insulin has to cross into the brain Your brain can become insulin resistant Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can't be broken down Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimer She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can't really tell the difference They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc. Stimulant is good!

All of her blood work continues to come back looking great! She is an endurance athlete. She's working up to a 24 hour race and a 100 mile race. Dr. Diulus has been on the show before. She is a true low-carb vegan! Low-carb was a no brainer for her because she is a Type 1 diabetic. Carrie calls herself plant-based instead of vegan. Her way of eating is not a disaster. She eats very few processed foods. She could see herself at some point going back to fish, but she doesn't feel the need to now. Dr. Diulus acknowledges lots of people can get into trouble eating this way. You just need to plan and know what you're doing. http://www.crystalclinic.com/physicians/detail/diulus-carrie-a VINNIE & ANNA WILL BE AT KETOCON 2020!

ZONE 2 AND ENDURANCE Vinnie is one of the guys who has been preaching Zone 2 from the beginning. Endurance athletes love Zone 2. This is the best Zone to exercise in for building up endurance and losing fat. For some, Zone 2 requires you to run and then take breaks and walk, etc. You should not be totally out of breath in Zone 2. You can do a crude calculation of your Zone 2 heart rate by taking 180, subtracting your age, and adding or subtracting a few depending on your fitness level. Don't feel the need to eat something carby or sugary in Zone 2. There are ultra athletes who do not even sugar trickle. This being said, Vinnie respects a trickle if you're a super-athlete. Start wherever you can. If you can only start with 5 minutes a day, then do that! Build it up SLOWLY. VINNIE & ANNA WILL BE AT KETOCON 2020!

It IS okay to hide candy from your kids. Give them a little, they won't know the difference. Don't set numbers with your children. This can make them anxious. Give them the night, control how much they eat, then get them eating properly the next day. As a parent, don't let yourself get carried away with the candy. It's a slippery slope for most.
