Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 14:00:00 +0000

Weight loss and long hours launching FAT: a documentary, the Chicago documentary, and more with director Peter Pardini:

Peter Curtis Pardini is an award-winning director and producer. His critically acclaimed documentary Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago (which he also produced) won two film festivals and 4 awards on its way to 2 million viewers for its #1 rated premiere on CNN on New Year’s Day 2017. David Wild of Rolling Stone magazine hailed the documentary as “artful and definitive.”

In addition to Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago, Pardini has written, produced and directed over 10 short films, 3 feature documentaries and three narrative features. In his senior year at Cal State Northridge, his screenplay, The Benders, was awarded as the best screenplay for undergraduates at the school. He would then become the personal assistant to Robert Moresco, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of 2006 Best Picture winner Crash.

His first documentary feature, Chicago: World Tour 2011, was created and edited with Pardini acting as the one-man crew. It was screened nationwide via Fathom Events in December 2011, making Pardini the youngest director, at age 24, of 2011 to have a feature film screen in over 500 theaters.

He has also directed several music videos, worked as an editor for Red Bull, directed national television commercials for international tutoring giant Mathnasium and the band Chicago. He has worked/created material with the likes of The Doobie Brothers, Jim Caviezel, Adam Carolla, Joe Mantegna, Kyle Mooney, Al Pacino and the Notre Dame sports program.

His work has been featured on The Grammys, HBO, CNN, Parade Magazine, Deadline Hollywood and People Magazine.

He recently completed Rolling Thunder (story/director), a feature film shot in one day starring Wes Studi and Joe Mantegna. He is currently in post-production on Fat: A Documentary, a feature film about the history of health myths in the US and abroad.

[00:30] Introduction
[10:00] People can break out of that mindset of one thing is causing my bad health. When you’re burning fat and you’re fat adapted. The fat is actually good for you and it gives you your fuel.
[20:00] When I had a regular nine to five job, I was saving money more than I am now or I was just watching my spending more. I was basically single, so I would just get those TV dinners thinking, well, there’s only 12 points in each of these. So I would have three a day and thought it was pretty amazing still maintaining or losing weight. That’s one of the things we talked about in the documentary, it is the fact that weight loss does not always mean good health.
[31:00] Movie’s and catering. It’s an unspoken rule, that even if your union, you just you have to be there for the crew. They can’t go out, they have to be in and set up all day long for the filming.
[40:00] My favorite argument against the ketogenic diet that, yes, it works, but after you stop it, you gain the weight back. That’s why you don’t stop it.
[50:00] The next time he saw me, he was at the Chicago show, and he came up to me. He said you look like you’ve lost weight since I saw you. I said, yeah. He asked what are you doing, what are you exactly eating? I said, meat, eggs, butter, coffee, water.
[01:07:00] Final Words

Final Words:

If you bought this movie and watched it, Thank You. Especially if you bought it and supported the project on Indiegogo too. If we can share this with as many people as possible, they’re going to watch it and they’re going to say, “Oh, my God”, like one of my friends did last night, “Is this true?!”

That’s what we want. We want people to watch it and say, I’ve never heard that before. Then they go and tell other people and then we can really make a change. Because in all honesty, like all documentaries, that’s what they are there for. To tell a story that people haven’t heard before, and it leads them to either changing their lives or helping to change other people’s lives. So I would just say continue to share it. If you don’t want to buy it, just rent it and watch it.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] You can’t even explain this to people that haven’t experienced the Wilderness 101 and actually have done it or been there. It was amazing the amount of climbing just to get up to the top of that day.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] I think a Specialized fat bike came in and it was like 13 hours or there’s like 12 hours and 50 some minutes. He comes rolling in on his fat bike and that’s just insanity!
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Most people that don’t race or haven’t put themselves through this type of thing, don’t understand that getting sweaty is a challenge. What people don’t understand is when you’re wet and your equipment is rubbing back and forth on your legs, you might as well have 100 grit sandpaper. You’ll get Rashed beyond belief or bleed in places just like runners have happened, where their nipples are bleeding just from their shirt rubbing.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] The government and these people are supposed to be watching after us and taking care of us. Like everything else, it’s more about the money and all the bullshit. Ever since I had this little girl, as a baby and watching her grow up, I now get more involved with the worrying about the types of stuff that I’m putting in her mouth.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] So much of it goes back to diet, that’s what fuels us, it’s what makes us what we are. If you’re not putting the right things in and instead of putting chemicals and all of the sprays and the stuff that goes into manufactured foods.
[spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] It’s hard to wrap your brain around it and think that some guy is trying to screw you over by selling me a pop-tart, well that can’t be that bad. Well, it is that bad, Pop-Tarts Suck!
[spp-timestamp time=”56:00″] Final Words

Final Words:

The biggest thing I would say to anybody is to keep an open mind. This has been an awesome ride ever since I met you a number of years ago. I think it’s been three to four years ago now. Ever since I went out and suffered in the woods and it was a little bit of comfort there too. While I was standing underneath that bridge, watching you pull up in the middle of the W101 and knowing that I just put you through that pain and suffering. Part of that was pretty exciting. But the one thing that all of this stuff has kind of done for me is open my eyes to just being more open to different things. You know, I never was into this type of stuff. I’ve now read more books in the past four years than I probably read in the past 40.

It’s been a blast. You know, anybody watching in this stuff, check out this FATDOC, it was a great story. I told my wife as soon as I watched it and said something to her. I don’t care if I gotta put my family in a car, go to Staten Island to visit with one of her family members, I’ll put it on in my truck so nobody can get away from it. They’re just gonna listen to it because it’s amazing information that’s out there now. Somebody can definitely get something from it. It’s not stuff that I would have been following in the past and it’s definitely things that I’ve been opened up to more recently. It’s just been a great ride to learn all this stuff.

208: The FAT Emperor Ivor Cummins, #FatDoc, DNA, and more!

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Today We Finally Get to Talk Healthy Fats Science with Ivor Cummins Also Known As The Fat Emperor From Dublin Ireland:

Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP® completed a Chemical Engineering in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions, and was shortlisted in 2015 as one of the top 6 of 500 applicants for “Irish Chartered Engineer of the Year”. Ivor’s focus and specialty are leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios. He has often led worldwide teams with over 60-70 engineers working on major technical issues; the largest of these involved product issues where hundreds of millions of dollars were in the balance.

Several years ago, Ivor encountered a complex technical challenge in his personal life. Receiving poor blood test results, he was unable to get solutions via the doctors consulted. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Within eight weeks he had resolved and optimized all of his blood test metrics. Also, he had shed over 15Kg of body fat with relative ease. In the following years, he continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. In order to help stem the tide of chronic disease in our modern population, he embarked on a personal mission to share the science and solutions. He began this process by giving corporate talks and releasing them on YouTube for the wider audience. He has since become a professional speaker of note, giving many public lectures and chairing interviews with worldwide health experts. Most notably he was invited by the President of the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) to give a keynote talk on heart disease root causes, at their annual conference in London last October. All of Ivor’s public lectures and interviews are available on Ivor’s YouTube channel, where well over a million views have been recorded to date:

His book on chronic disease root causes and resolution strategies (co-authored with Denver doctor Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP) was released in the US and Canada in March 2018. It has already received around 150 reviews on Amazon, of which ~97% are 5-stars, check out Eat Rich Live Long on Amazon!

His blog and other content is available at www.thefatemperor.com

From early 2018 Ivor has been fully funded by the Irish Heart Disease Awareness charity (www.IHDA.ie). This fulfills their mission in enabling all middle-risk people to access the power of the Coronary Artery Calcification scan (CAC). He has thus ramped up his passion to help the people help themselves – in a journey to health, weight-loss, and longevity.

Ivor lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife and five children.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”02:51″] What’s a stag party and hen party in Ireland.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:20″] Scott and Ivor connect on chainsaws, farming, and more. Giant gardens, before poisons, pesticides and chemicals and all this other stuff. Ivor only remembered nitrate fertilizer which was spread on the grass. You learn as well did the value of hard work. I mean, we have to work 14 hour days sometimes bringing in that hey.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:02″] Scott shares his Irish bloodlines plus 23andme DNA analysis. Talking fatty coffee, don’t need to call it bulletproof, using Kerrygold Grass Fed Irish Butter. Ivor generally doesn’t really eat breakfast anymore but makes a French press or espresso coffee. As it happens, he’s not crazy about the butter in the coffee and the little globules. So he puts in heavy cream aka Irish double cream.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:10″] Ivor didn’t want to come across as arrogant when he created The FAT Emperor branding. But it really wasn’t the intention. It was actually one evening after I discovered all of this about that carbohydrate was much more of an issue than fats in the diet. I’d fixed my own health, my own blood markers. And I was researching intensively, cholesterol, metabolism, everything. I decided to start giving talks to the engineers and my Corporation. You know, 100 plus people explaining metabolic syndrome and all this stuff.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:36″] So yeah, it’s all just about making profit. There is no crazy guy with a cat at the top, you know, stroking a cap. Pharmaceutical corporations benefit hugely because of all the sickness that results of food industry benefits, because they can use dirt, cheap vegetable oils, and refined carbohydrates with long shelf life.
[spp-timestamp time=”15:59″] High salt being bad for you is not really true at all, it is in rare cases but the salt message it has been incorrect. Even the message of covering yourself in sunblock has kind of backfired. Now let’s throw cholesterol in there.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:48″] Vegans and Vegetarian choices are not nutritionally balanced. B-12 is a big clarifier. Shoutout to Dr. Carrie Diulus a Vegan Psychiatrist who helps clarify that fat is necessary and that cutting sugars and grains is essential.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:23″] Get your magnesium, get healthy sun exposure, no refined carbs or sugars, no vegetable oil. Preferably consume avocado oil or olive oil. There’s a huge overlap where we do agree here with Vegans.

Final Words:

Success from anything in anything has come from action and it has come from actually doing it. So whether that is diet and you are saying I’ll start tomorrow, I’ll start tomorrow. That’s fine, but actually, start tomorrow! For Peter, with movies, he has seen people around Peter’s age are not doing anything because they never start.

He references Steve Martin’s book, where he never felt that he was that funny but he worked the hardest to remember how to be funny. That is how you do it. That is how you are successful in anything and or achieve any success. You have to literally put one foot in front of the other sometimes, especially when things look like they are not happening.
