Prof Noakes and I had a detailed chat about the scourge of diabetes, root causes and much else. Here Tim briefly summarizes some key points of evidence for the liver being the seat of cardiovascular disease! The full discussion is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=horIrfmLvUY

I’m starting the Daily Bites again, 5-minute jewels for those with short attention spans (or very busy!). Here’s a clip from San Diego 2016 (sorry, sound quality was old school!). We sit with the brilliant Dominic D’Agostino who briefly summarizes some key points of evidence for potential utility of ketogenic diets as an adjunct support for cancer and other diseases. The full discussion is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntob6Sn06_Q

Also please share as much if possible - the search engines and algorithms are not our friends anymore! Excellent conversation with Dr. Ross Walker Cardiologist - who has performed over 50,000 Coronary CT Scans to get that crucial CAC score for his patients. Do you think someone who worked with so much data from actually measuring the heart disease properly - knows what the hell causes it? Yes you're correct - he damn well does! Enjoy this conversation with one of the top experts in preventative cardiology - he puts most of them to shame :-) VIDEO PODCAST:  https://youtu.be/WHPA6WX-2_k FULL TRANSCRIPT:  https://thefatemperor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Ep45-Eliminating-Heart-Attacks-%E2%80%93-is-it-the-Cholesterol-or-What.pdf

Welcome to Episode 44, featuring a return guest Peter Ballerstedt - expert on forage agronomy and much else relating to livestock.  There's been a lot of discussion of late with regard to livestock and climate impacts - and often the nutrient-density of animal foods is left out of the conversation. Here we have a short 20min chat on some of the key points regarding both, recorded when I caught up with Peter at Keto Salt Lake last April.  For those interested in the arena, there are good published papers HERE and HERE which cover the controversy.

A short one today from Monaco, where I drove over to meet Raphi Sirtoli and Eduoard Soutzo, inventors of the just-released Nutrita webapp called Nutrita Pro. This bad boy will allow you to scan most food products with your phone - and immediately see if they are good for your health. The guys will be incorporating the all-powerful CAC Score into their system over time, which certainly got my attention! Something went wrong with Eduoard's autofocus so the visuals are impacted - but what the hell, maybe it hides our subtle imperfections! So access the power of the Nutrita app and start getting your nutrition in order ;-)   Nutrita

NOTE:  SOUND IS NOT FULL QUALITY UNTIL ~9 MINUTES IN (then it's saucy as usual!) Welcome to Episode 42, featuring a compelling #Irish guest! Cian Foley has learned first hand that nutrition is crucial in maintaining health and vitality. He has specifically realized that many of us have been unconsciously "eating for winter" - which is a VERY bad idea. His discoveries led to him writing the book "Don't Eat for Winter" - a fascinating account of his journey, and full of advice on how to optimize both your nutrition and your health!

Great conversation recently with Nick Paterson of https://lihfliving.com/ - "Low Inflammation, High Fat Living".   Not everyone will like one of the core points made - that some people may have significant issues with eating dairy...!  But we must always openly discuss what may affect some people who are sensitive to certain foods - because they are the ones who will suffer, not everyone else...

Finally got hold of the man who more than anyone, has deep-dived into the root causes of heart disease - without bias - just fixated with finding the truth. I'm of course referring to Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, who has created the 65-part (and growing) series "What Causes Heart Disease?". See index below for a gist of what we covered (hint - it was A LOT!) VIDEO PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wkxp-l2c68 INDEX/CONTENTS: 00:00:40 Are the causes we talk about “necessary and sufficient”? 00:04:45 What does Sickle Cell Disease prove about heart disease cause? 00:09:33 Kawasaki Disease illuminates the true causes of heart disease 00:14:45 Vein/artery differences, blood pressure & turbulence - speak volumes 00:20:14 Damage and repair – it’s the imbalance that is the problem 00:24:34 Steroids, inflammation and …Cushing’s Disease – what do they say? 00:28:12 Blood glucose, insulin resistance and their effects - a pivotal axis 00:31:54 Pollution, leaded petrol – and the surprising effect of Chelation 00:35:50 Bias, homocysteine, drug treatments - and the research world behaving badly 00:46:01 LDL importance…versus blood clotting factors 00:49:40 Atherosclerosis is the result of endothelial damage & blood clotting processes –root mechanisms 00:53:08 Sun, Nitric Oxide – and taking Viagra…! 00:56:53 Magnesium, salts, nitric oxide – and why your arteries fail you 01:02:06 Blood clotting is at the very core of heart disease – deep-dive 01:09:05 LDL, Lp(a) – and what cholesterol crystals in plaque really say! 01:15:05 Lp(a0, Vitamin C and Plasminogen – putting it all together 01:22:45 Familial Hypercholesterolemia….and what’s actually occurring all along 01:25:39 The mechanisms of statins and other drugs – beyond the old LDL story 01:34:48 “Well, they can’t all be wrong, can they?” – but history has shown how often this has been the case 01:43:04 We’re building a cathedral of wisdom - at least on the root causes of heart disease!

My short talk from Real Food Rocks in the UK - #RFR19.  VIDEO PODCAST WITH SLIDES:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi_f9Z1rc7o&feature=youtu.be Big thanks to Dr. David and Jennifer Unwin for an amazing event with ~700 people in attendance in Brathay Hall Estate, Lake District. Due to constraints in the room size, in the the end I had to deliver the talk three times over the course of the day, and each time there was standing room only (see pic below :-). It was really great to see so many people wanting to take control of their heart health. Hope you enjoy, and remember that you gotta "Know Your Score!" Go to https://ihda.ie/ to get the latest on preventing heart attacks. It's crucial information for everyone, so please share the website as widely as possible - thanks!

Met up with Joan Ifland after her excellent and inspiring talk at Low Carb Seattle; she wrote a landmark book on processed food addiction many years ago, after years of research into the phenomenon. She has now produced the definitive textbook on this problem, for training people in university and classroom settings (btw Dr. Robert Lustig is actually using her new textbook now in university-based courses). Find Joan at https://www.drjoanifland.com/ and her excellent services at https://www.foodaddictionreset.com/ As always, please help to support this podcast by visiting and importantly #sharing https://ihda.ie/ - to enable the masses to identify their heart disease and take action to stop it!
