The Fat Emperor Podcast

 Dr. Gearoid O'Laoi is an Irish doctor and Histopathologist who embraced #LCHF 5 years ago - to stunning effect. He is extremely well-researched and shares many insights in our rambling conversation here(!). Gearoid is also a proponent of the Calcium Scan, with a zero score at 63 years of age. He has seen much calcium buildup in the many autopsies he has conducted, and knows the power of the scan to save lives, if only it was widely deployed.  The best place to catch up with Gearoid is on Twitter:  @Gearoidmuar   INDEX/CONTENTS:  00:01:08 Intro  00:02:09 Bias in science and data – associations versus experiments – doing it right  00:10:36 Vegans, meats and fats – a chat on some of the studies  00:17:15 Israelis and Omega Six fats, sugar and sat fats, ApoE4 exceptions  00:21:40 Fat fathers and the secrets of losing weight   00:28:24 Depression lifts with low carb, meat and veg…  00:33:19 Cheeses, Terrines and Cholesterol effects  00:35:49 Atherosclerosis mechanisms – and why it appears in specific spots in arteries  00:40:46 Blood Pressure, salt effects – and bears in winter  00:46:08 Sugar, Fructose and the Obesity Trigger  00:48:22 LDL particles versus Insulin, Metabolic Syndrome and the primary root causes  01:00:10 Using your Gut – and the practice of Proctology  01:01:29 Limitations of the human brain in screening pathology samples; cancer - and Legionnaire’s Disease  01:10:43 Avoiding sickness - the importance of a healthy, nutrient-dense diet  01:14:27 Atheroma, calcification, sugar and smoking  01:23:40 Atherosclerosis, calcification, exceptions that prove the rule, Type 1 Diabetes fixes   01:29:02 Some amusing anecdotes to finish – and James Joyce 

Cancer is a huge disease threat in the modern era, and causes untold suffering. Breast cancer is a particularly bad affliction affecting so many women. In today's Podcast Short, I pull up a few scientific studies relating to the matter.  Just as with Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease and many other chronic diseases of modernity, it is more important to focus on Insulin/Glucose dynamics and other measures of metabolic health - rather than just BMI and Obesity...

Dropped in to Amber O'Hearn's https://carnivorycon.com/ and managed to catch up with none other than Mikhaila Peterson. We of course discussed the extraordinary affect that certain elimination diets can have on a range of profound autoimmune illnesses. Yes we're talking about the new kid on the nutritional block - the Carnivore Diet.What struck me most was the logical approach and sheer determination she displayed in decoding the root causes in a highly complex personal situation. This is an incredibly difficult thing to achieve - especially when under the influence of neurological issues related to your condition. In short - amazing stuff.I trust that you will find the conversation as compelling as I did - there is so much we don't know - but then there is what works. And "what works" is of course crucial - when faced with the most severe challenges in your life!
