  • Summary

  • This week we have the incredible Gary Taubes, investigative journalist and debunker of health myths.

    Gary is a best-selling author, his books include The Case Against Sugar, Good Calories, Bad Calories and most recently The Case for Keto.  A serious critical thinker on how conventional wisdom is formed. 

    We have an incredible chat-Gary is so much fun and seems to be looking younger and younger—a testament to the keto diet and the Californian sunshine. We discuss how the focus on calories and energy expenditure debate has overshadowed the examination of the endocrine system, our hormonal mechanisms for fat accumulation and obesity; that carbohydrate consumption and the resulting release of excess insulin is really why people keep getting fatter. 

    We discuss the type 2 diabetes epidemic; how hard it can be to get your own doctor on board with your own health issues and what it will take for the ‘New Science’ to be reflected in government nutritional guidelines…particularly in light of the plant-based movement gaining traction. 

    I really hope you enjoy episode one as much as I did!
