Episode 2210 - BEST OF: On this special edition of the Wednesday show, we replay episode 838 when Vinnie Tortorich welcomes back Dr. William Davis to discuss his book "Undoctored", the state of the healthcare industry, becoming undoctored, the effects of grains and sugars on your body, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/best-of-becoming-undoctored-dr-william-davis-epsiode-2210 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN BECOMING UNDOCTORED Vinnie welcomes Dr. William Davis who is a prominent cardiologist and also the author of "Wheat Belly". (2:00) Dr. Davis gives his own backstory of when he was in med school and the effects of the lifestyle and food that was available. (4:00) Vinnie and William discuss how diet is so important and the dietary guidelines are just bad! (8:00) All the grains that are promoted are to blame for T2D and autoimmune disorders. Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies happen because grains affect absorption and gut and bowel flora. (9:45) William then gives the reason behind writing his book "Undoctored". (10:30) Vinnie asks William where the idea of fiber and grains being beneficial to the bowel originated. (14:00) They also discuss how inflammation affects the body; Vinnie explains what would happen during his ultra racing. (20:25) William gives his thoughts on inflammation and toxins. Many prescribed medications for inflammation could be reduced if there weren't grain consumption. (22:50) They then discuss cholesterol and the myth behind it. (30:00) William talks about LDL and particle size and what it means. Vinnie shares his experience with cancer and what he was advised to do by his doctor. (35:00) William agrees that ketosis appears to be one of the best ways to avert cancer and encourage remission. MANAGING YOUR HEALTH They chat about how there are ways with tech and other resources for people to manage their own health better. (39:30) Vinnie and William chat about particle tests and statins. (46:15) William explains why parts of the cholesterol test aren't even an accurate measurement. Many doctors are motivated by money. (49:30) Because the sugar industry controls so much, often doctors become pariahs if they speak out against sugar and grain. An example is the treatment of Dr. Tim Noakes in South Africa when he was actually treating people and getting them healthy. (51:00) Dr. Davis tries to uncover the truths behind that in his new book. Health is a basic right. The grain industry has hired PR firms to discredit Dr. Davis. They also discuss several prominent vegan doctors. (56:00) William summarizes steps you can take for better health that he discusses in his "Undoctored" book as well. (1:01:10) Dr. Davis also discusses some of the books in his series, including cookbooks as well. (1:04:00) [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11!

Episode 2206 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes back Dr. Eric Westman and the two discuss the benefits of fat as fuel, sugar addiction, Big Food, Dr. Westman's new book about ending carb confusion, and more.

(1:15) Keto is shifting your body to fat-burning and there are so many benefits to it; Eric gives an example. (8:00) Eating a keto diet doesn't have to be expensive; there are ways to find deals on meat purchases. Many people find that they end up eating less food because they are more satisfied. Vinnie chats about his interest in building lean muscle mass when he was younger and noticed that bodybuilders would get "cut" by eating protein and fat, not carbs. (15:30) Vinnie then asks Eric what nutrition training was like when he was in medical school and how it's progressed. (17:00) Both men agree that Dr. Stephen Phinney (of Virta Health) has been a huge influence on what they know about a ketogenic way of eating. The conversation turns to fat as fuel for long distances and some of the current successful athletes doing it. (21:30) Even though there are many examples of these athletes, there is still so much doubt that it's even "possible". Vinnie asks Eric why there are so many dietitians and other health and science professionals resistant to doing further studies and promoting keto as a solution. (30:50) NIH is still stuck on CICO (calories in, calories out), even though it's been proven it doesn't work and is not sustainable. Eric mentions that funding is a big issue. Ending carb confusion is the goal. Vinnie and Eric agree that there is no diabetes in a world without carbs. (35:15) They then talk about sugar addiction needs to be looked at seriously. (40:45) The chat about autoimmune conditions and how they are affected by carbs. Big Food companies hire scientists to formulate food to create addictions to them so you'll be a repeat customer. Eric mentions "Adapt Your Life Academy", which is an online membership where you can get coached in a low-carb lifestyle. Vinnie then asks Eric to discuss his book, "End Your Carb Confusion", written by him, Dr. Amy Berger, and others, and it has a cookbook that provides even more options. Vinnie and Eric have a lot to say about Dr. Tro Kalayjian and how his approach to patients is making great strides in actually healing people. (1:03:50) Vinnie thanks Dr. Westman for his participation in both FAT documentaries because they are helping save lives!

She did that for 90 days but explains why it didn't work for her. During their chat, Meagan mentions what she calls "drive-by" eating; as a result, Vinnie and Meagan discuss how easy it is to fall into mindless eating.

(16:00) Meagan chats about what other things she changed in her mindset and lifestyle that has her losing weight again.

(32:30) Kind of odd that the comment was made in a reel by carnivore doctor, Paul Saladino. Vinnie gives his thoughts on "plant defense chemicals" and whether or not your liver cares where carbs comes from. (36:00) Vinnie respects Paul, but disagrees. They agree it's also a confusing message coming from a carnivore doctor. Vinnie and Anna chat about things like sugar and alcohol addictions for many people. (43:50) Vinnie mentions another podcast's episode where the science behind the effects of alcohol on the brain works for different people. (44:00) Anna brings up some preaching by a vegan and how the information is completely wrong; for example, the idea of high fat causing insulin resistance.

(9:00) They also chat about how this has led to more recent developments of NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). He explains what A1C is, how it works, and how the numbers have ultimately been altered, which is basically lowering the bar. He gives reasons why this doesn't work, and how it allows for "stacking" medications. Gina asks what a high A1C for an extended period of time will do.
