ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith

In 2014 Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Tasmania, was reported to the medical board for suggesting his diabetic patients reduce their sugar intake despite sound scientific evidence and clinical experience to support his recommendations. He was the first doctor ever silenced from talking about nutrition. After years of litigation, Dr. Fettke was eventually exonerated but confusion regarding the role of carbohydrates and sugar in human health remains. Tune in to this week's podcast to hear all about Dr. Fettke's journey, the role of carbohydrates in pain management and human health, the problems with vegetable oils and the many invisible forces driving our mainstream dietary recommendations. If you want to make educated decisions regarding your health, you need to hear what Dr. Fettke has learned! Here are some of my favorite takeaways: Why Dr. Fettke got reported to the medical board The true effects of sugar How much sugar our body handles at one time The invisible influences inherent in medical deductions The role of carbohydrates in type 2 diabetes A simple dietary step to reduce pain and inflammation Where the message that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" originated How vegetable oils were created and why they are problematic The problem with the "Plant-Based" movement Surprising places you'll find vegetable oils The overlooked truth about the Blue Zones And so much more!

We've all heard the misguided message that meat consumption is killing us, but what you might not know is that these beliefs originated from religion, rather than good science or historical evidence. In fact, Dr. John Harvey Kellog originally created cereal as a meat alternative because he believed it would reduce sexual desires in kids. Not to mention there has never been a truly vegan culture. Which is why in this week's podcast with researcher Belinda Fettke we delve into the surprising origins of our nation's Dietary Guidelines and the war on meat. Belinda's husband, Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Australia, was reported to the medical board in 2014 for recommending his diabetic patients reduce the sugar in their diet. This attack prompted Belinda to dig into WHY the science on the benefits of low carbohydrate diets was being ignored. What she found was that it wasn't really about science at all. Tune in now to learn all about the surprising origins of our war on meat and share this podcast with anyone you think needs to hear it! Here are some of the fun facts you'll learn about… Why the first meat alternative was created Why "plant-based" does not equal healthy The role of religion in our nation's dietary guidelines Who was behind the attacks on Dr. Fettke The flaws in the Eat Lancet report The relationship between the Coke and religion The vested interests in the "eat less exercise more" message And much more!

Listen to this week's podcast with eating psychology expert, author and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David! Here are some of the fascinating tidbits we cover… What an eating psychologist eats for breakfast Why binge eating and emotional eating is on the rise Why willpower is not the issue Why we often reach for food when we are stressed 3 simple ways to reduce emotional eating Why food is not the issue Toxic nutritional beliefs and how to overcome them The antidote to binge eating Why how fast you eat matters Marc's #1 dietary rule Three ways to start improving your relationship with food And so much more!

We've all heard about the controversy surrounding glyphosate, Roundup's main ingredient. In 2015 The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded glyphosate may possibly cause cancer in humans. Thousands of lawsuits have also been filed against Bayer, the maker of Roundup, and in 2018 a groundskeeper, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, was awarded $289 million. Yet, the EPA and FDA deem glyphosate safe, which is why it can still be found in our food and many paleo staples. Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie Seneff Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, author, and glyphosate expert is on this week's podcast to cut through the controversy. We discuss the research regarding glyphosate's safety, how glyphosate exerts its toxic effects, foods most often contaminated with glyphosate (I think this will surprise you!), and what we can do to help our body detoxify. You do NOT want to miss this episode! Here are some of the other interesting tidbits we'll cover… Simples ways to detox glyphosate The most common foods contaminated with glyphosate The link between glyphosate, autism and neurodegenerative disease How glyphosate affects gut microbes and immune health How glyphosate affects mental health How glyphosate affects sleep The link between reproductive issues and glyphosate The link between vitamin D deficiency and glyphosate Why collagen is particularly vulnerable to glyphosate's destruction The animal products most often tainted with glyphosate The difference between non-GMO and organic Simple ways to improve immune health 3 ways you to reduce glyphosate in food and community And so much more!

A recent human trial demonstrated that eating wild meat (kangaroo) caused lower levels of post-meal inflammation than eating conventionally-raised beef. In other words, how the animal was raised may have affected the level of inflammation in the body after eating it. When people ate wild meat they had lower levels of inflammation and when they ate meat raised in confinement, they had higher levels of inflammation. And while we don't yet know exactly why this happened, Dr. Fred Provenza, acclaimed author, professor and researcher believes it may have a lot to do with underrated, yet powerful nutrients called secondary compounds. In fact, though you don't hear much about them, secondary compounds have been shown to… Reduce inflammation Provide antioxidant protection Protect against cancer Improve mood Reduce the risk of diabetes Help control appetite And so much more! Most importantly, the levels of secondary compounds change dramatically in meat depending upon what the animal ate and how it was raised. Tune in to this week's fascinating podcast with Dr. Provenza to learn about the little-known, yet important, differences in grass-fed and conventionally raised meats and what it means for your health. Here are some of my favorite takeaways… The benefits of secondary compounds for human health The nutritional difference between pastured meats and CAFO meat The demonstrated changes in human health when you eat CAFO vs. pastured meat The difference between plant-based burgers and grass-fed beef The environmental issues with plant-based burgers Why (and how) animals benefit environmental health Simple ways to get more secondary compounds in our diet And much more! Dr. Provenza is one of my favorite people I've ever interviewed! He's passionate, educated, humble, kind and way ahead of his time! Please share this podcast with anyone you think it may benefit.

Here are the topics we cover… The main problems with the conventional chicken industry Free range vs. cage free vs. pasture-raised The #1 cause of death worldwide (and how conventional chickens contribute!)

A 2010 study published in Plos One found that 5 of the 10 most violence-inducing drugs were antidepressants. Alongside antidepressants, 6 sedatives/hypnotics and 3 medications for attentional issues were also associated with increased violence. And while pharmaceutical therapies can work for certain individuals, they clearly cause (sometimes scary) side effects, do not work for everyone, and most importantly, do not address the root cause. Tune in to this week's fascinating podcast with Dr. Villanueva, Creator of the Healthy Body Restoration System and Balance your Brain Program, as we discuss the true causes of mental health issues, the limitations of conventional therapies and holistic strategies for better mental health. Here are some of the gems you'll learn: The limitations of mental health conventional treatments The true causes of mental health issues Commonly used meds that cause violence The link between antidepressants and school shootings How antidepressants alter brain function Her #1 strategy for better mental health The top 5 food triggers of mental health issues Why breathing deeply is not a solution Her powerful transformation out of anxiety and depression And so much more!
