Episode 2525 - In this BEST OF, Vinnie Tortorich and Professor Tim Noakes discuss sports science, how diabetes is carb intolerance, your brain and "the bonk", and much more. [libsyn_podcast id=32507382] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN Diabetes Is Carb Intolerance Vinnie and Prof. Tim Noakes begin with a discussion of Tim's professional background, especially in the early years of sports science. (2:00) He has been involved with sports science for decades; he studies the whole human biological system in its entirety. They discuss the early days of sports science used in the Olympics and other events like the Tour de France and what things were discovered. Tim has written several books such as Lore of Running (now in its 4th edition) and Real Food on Trial. https://amzn.to/3AgCslv and https://amzn.to/4dlhYqb(11:00) Tim constantly reviews new information and updates his work; you have to move with the evidence. Vinnie asks Tim to share what the issue was with Tim's historical trial and the "tweet heard around the world". (17:30) The trial was about information and not being able to speak outside the narrative of certain organizations. He gives various details about the trial, too. They turn to the topic of Diabetes. (26:00) Tim shares his history dealing with T2D and what he's discovered about himself using a low-carb lifestyle. He emphasizes that diabetes is carb intolerance. Vinnie and Tim discuss dealing with carb intolerance and give examples of ideal levels. (33:00) Even 1 gram of higher insulin inhibits the burning of fat. Many people don't understand that if they have large amounts of visceral fat, they are insulin resistant and at the very least, pre-diabetic. Your liver can produce any glucose your brain needs, except possibly over 4-5 hours of constant exercise; Tim explains. (35:00) The purpose of "carb burning" is not because your body "needs" the carbs; it's because your body is trying to get rid of the glucose in the blood. (35:20) Keeping your glucose and insulin flat is what keeps you healthy. (37:00) [adrotate banner="64"] The "Bonk" They also discuss going through a "bonk", and how the brain responds to carbs, even sweetness. (37:15) Tim discusses a study where they discovered surprising results about burning carbs vs. burning fat. The people in the study who were pre-diabetic benefitted the most from a high-fat diet. (50:30) This leads to a discussion about questioning long-held theories. (51:00) So they discuss the different Zones in exercise that can be done on a ketogenic diet--it's higher than previously thought! So this blows away previously done studies. They chat a bit about the training and success of Kenyan and Ethiopian elite runners. (55:00) Vinnie gets Tim's take on the use of drugs like Ozempic. (58:00) Changing your behavior is the only real way to be successful with your health. You can donate to the Noakes Foundation or The Nutrition Network; Tim explains the important work that they do.
