Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Author of the new book, The FATBURN Fix, Dr. Cate Shanahan joins us on today’s new Health Podcast talking FAT, Seed Oils, and more:

Dr. Cate Shanahan is the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism. A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author of The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition, and Food Rules, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer, and accelerated aging processes. Her passion is helping people feel their best.

My training is in Family Medicine and my background is in biochemistry and genetics, having studied at Cornell. I’ve authored three books including Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food and THE FATBURN FIX, with MacMillan, released in March 2020. In 2011 I created a nutrition program for the LA Lakers that many NBA and professional sports teams have emulated. This program, along with the 2008 edition of my first book Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food is credited with helping spark the current bone-broth and collagen craze, as well as inspiring thought leaders in the nutrition and KETO space.

Since 2018, I’ve assisted ABC Fine Wines and Spirits to optimize the health of their 1600+ employees and family members by providing concierge care and creating educational programs. Objective markers of success include biomarkers and the elimination of medications.

I’ve served as an independent advisor or consultant to dozens of companies and organizations throughout the world including the LA Lakers, OKC Thunder, Villanova Basketball, beliv – CBC Beverages, & Natural Stacks.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – Not all FAT is created equal. The kinds of fats that are in the seeds that we’ve all been unknowingly consuming, the seed oils are those called polygon stable, they should be called polyunsaturated, and they’re unstable. So that’s why they stay liquid in the fridge, that’s why they’re softer, right? That’s why they add them because they’re unstable.

20:00 – PUFA aka Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid.

30:00 – I was a doctor and I had the symptoms of hypoglycemia myself. I would have my cereal, Raisin Bran for breakfast with my skim milk. If I was really indulgent, I’d have 2%, and added sugar, of course, had to have more sugar on that. So that would be at seven AM and then by noon or one PM, whenever I got to my lunch, my fingers were cold and I’d be shaky. I would be kind of like, oh come on, just give me my lunch already. Those symptoms, that’s hypoglycemia. So I was already on that diabetes spectrum, and I had no clue.

40:00 – At the turn of the century, 50% of Americans lived on farms. Now I would be willing to bet that would also be that of our small business world. But that was America. What made America great was the fact that we were founded on small business farmers, we were self-sufficient people, we knew how to make good food. That’s what made us great, that’s actually, by the way, a huge reason why a lot of English people left England too.

50:00 – So that’s why I have two phases in the plan that talks about the baby-steps phase for folks who are more metabolically damaged and need to spend more time with taking those baby steps. If you’re not quite so metabolically damaged, then you can jump right into a KETO diet. But the two phases are to fix your metabolism and then burn your body fat. If you have a really high-fat burn factor, you can just start right into cutting calories by intermittent fasting.

54:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thought that I want to leave people with is that food used to be this holy transcendental sensation. It wasn’t just about energy. It was about connecting with your family and your environment. It was about how good you can make something tasty and how much time you could spend in the kitchen. How much time you could spend prepping the animal’s yourselves and growing your own food.

We have completely turned that as a thing that we need to turn upside down, they talk about turning the food pyramid upside down. If we could turn our pride, our food priority upside down, and get back to where we have been for our entire humanity, human history until like the industrial era, when TV shows told us that, the kitchen was just like a place you wanted to get out of as fast as possible, you should eat microwave dinners. Before the TV told us this, we knew in our bones, that if you spent time in your garden, that food was going to be good for you. I don’t care what it is, what kind of vegetable it is, it was going to be good for you. If you raised animals yourselves, you knew that they were healthy. You knew that the food was good. Forget about saturated fat and all of this kind of stuff. That’s what matters and that’s the only thing that matters. I would love it if we could shift the conversation away from macros and calories and to things like healthy soil and healthy plants and animals.

218: The Low Carb Cardiologist, Boundless Health, and The Diet Doctor Podcast

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Meet The Low Carb Cardiologist Himself, Dr. Bret Scher MD of The Diet Doctor Podcast:

Dr Bret Scher is a board certified cardiologist in San Diego and runs the website Low Carb Cardiologist site where he has a podcast, a blog, and sees clients for individual consultations. He helps people transform their health outside the constraints of our broken healthcare system.

I hope to be the most unique Cardiologist you have ever encountered.

Sure, I am a card-carrying, board certified cardiologist. And I spent years learning the invasive procedures and the medications used to treat heart disease. Now I want to do everything in my power to make sure those multi-billion dollar tools and drugs go unused.

After receiving extra certification as a personal trainer, functional medicine practitioner, behavior modification specialist and more, I am uniquely positioned among doctors to help people transform their lives.

My goal is to inspire individuals just like you to dictate your own health by adopting healthy lifestyle habits that allow you to achieve your best health ever:

Health free of prescription drugs.
Health that leaves you feeling great, feeling energetic, and living the life you have always dreamed.
Health with you in control

These beliefs sound fairly simple and should not be foreign to us. Unfortunately, in today’s healthcare system, they are completely foreign to most. That is why I encourage people to break free from the confines of our outdated and broken healthcare system.

A low carb lifestyle is the perfect example of our broken system. High quality data has shown the health benefits of low carb lifestyles for many, yet our healthcare industry refuses to accept it. That is part of my mission as The Low Carb Cardiologist. Through my book Your Best Health Ever, through my podcast The Low Carb Cardiologist Podcast, through my blog, and through all my outreaching I hope to change the narrative of our health. I hope the change the narrative of your health.

I look forward to you joining me on this journey!

Bret Scher, MD FACC

Final Words:

Trust in Mother Nature and understand that humans have been eating saturated fats for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years. Embrace it, saturated fat is not the problem, otherwise, we wouldn’t be arguing about this and there wouldn’t be such controversy.

The problem is not that beautiful organic coconut oil. The problem is the sugar, it’s the processed foods. The problem is the environment, the lack of sleep, the lack of sunshine, the lack of being grounded, the lack of high-quality water. That’s what the problem is, not the coconuts.

087: Dr. Jay on the Inflammatory AHA, Coconut Oil and Sugar

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Dr. Estrogeneration Returns on the Inflammatory AHA and Their Attack on Coconut Oil:

We welcome back our prior co-host, the Doctor of Estrogeneration, to discuss Coconut Oil. He helps me reflect on the Inflammatory and incorrect education that the AHA recently published around the amazing Coconut and Saturate Fats. The American Heart Association has a social responsibility to educate on a balanced platform. They are paid by big Pharma and Agriculture groups, so we get to read about incorrect direction on the consumption of healthy fat sources. Articles like, “Saturated fats: Why all the hubbub over coconuts?”

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”0:30″] Intro of Dr. Jay from past episode #072.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:10″] Intro continued with the AHA having their heads up their butts!

I can’t believe anybody would come out and say that coconut oil is unhealthy in any way. – Dr. Anthony G. Jay

[spp-timestamp time=”02:00″] The AHA lumped coconut oil together with all other saturated fats and used blanket statements that it’s bad.
[spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] Dr. Jay is a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Boston University. His actual Ph.D. thesis, 315 pages long, was about fats and cholesterol.
[spp-timestamp time=”03:35″] Saying saturated fat is bad, is absurd.

To say that saturated fat is bad, as a blanket statement, I think that is absurd! – Dr. Anthony G. Jay

[spp-timestamp time=”04:00″] Many AHA scientists aren’t actually working with real people in relation to their nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:38″] People who actually work on the front lines of health know that the AHA article(s) are false and misleading.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] President of the AHA published in the Journal of Circulation. A source of professional science journals.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:45″] They restrict access to the journals to make more money.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:00″] Properly sourced butter is a whole food when done right.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:35″] Dr. Jay raps about butter from cows that are fed corn and soy.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:50″] Our brains are predominately DHA Fats. 70-80% of your brain tissue is fat aka DHA fat cells.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:45″] Eating grass-fed butter, is an entirely different discussion, in terms of a scientific research.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:05″] We are all at a different point when it comes to our healthy lifestyle timeline.
[spp-timestamp time=”17:10″] Coconut Oil relating to Blubber Brain the book!
[spp-timestamp time=”19:00″] Heating oils and oxidizing them in relation to negative health impacts.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:00″] Dr. Jay clarified olive oil vs coconut oil in relation to cooking.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:00″] Trans Oleic Acid
[spp-timestamp time=”27:40″] Dr. Jay prefers saturated fats when you’re cooking because they’re actually healthier.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:00″] The science doesn’t agree with AHA’s point on saturated fats being bad.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:20″] Cholesterol is important and necessary in our diets.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:00″] Relating this all back to our hormones and Estrogeneration.
[spp-timestamp time=”34:25″] Totally ignore the AHA and totally keep eating Coconut Oil, butter, and tallow.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:00″] Companies pay for the Heart Healthy check logo on their packaging.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:25″] Kerrygold becomes a sellout.
[spp-timestamp time=”39:15″] Dr. Jay references the British Medicine Journals aka the BMJ.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] HDL and LDL isn’t enough, relating to his education and learning about “hypercholesterolemia”.
[spp-timestamp time=”43:00″] Inflammation is the root cause. For example, eating a poor diet triggers inflammation in the body.
[spp-timestamp time=”43:15″] Injuries in your arteries get healed by your healthy cholesterol.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:40″] Stop looking at the surface level education.
[spp-timestamp time=”47:30″] A lot of heart disease studies don’t look at the age in relation to the LDL. Our LDL does rise as we age.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:10″] Epidemiology

Epidemiology, it’s not flawed but it’s open to flaws. – Dr. Anthony G. Jay

[spp-timestamp time=”50:40″] Helping address Ian’s comments from Scott’s Facebook page when he shared Dr. Wolfson’s blog post.

Final Words:

Coconut Oil is good for your because the fatty acids in coconut oil are so small that your body has to burn them as fuel or you get diarrhea and eliminate them that way. Not only is it anti-fungal, anti-microbial, it has other health benefits like anti-cancer. Coconut Oil you have to burn as energy, it’s healthy because you have to burn it as fat.

[spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] The AHA confusing the public.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:30″] Vitamin deficiencies fuel depression.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:45″] Often if you’re addressing lifestyle and nutrition, you’d reduce the need for medications.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:45″] Erin drops the bomb on Coconut Oil and the American Heart Association relating to irresponsible journalism.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:20″] Often journalists don’t know what they’re writing about.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:50″] The incorrect article: “Coconut oil isn’t healthy. It’s never been healthy.”
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] Erin’s vents on the fact that the American Heart Association is still focused on Saturated Fat being the problem.

054: NSNG and Ketogenic Lifestyle with Vinnie Tortorich

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Ketogenic Lifestyle Co-Host:

Welcome to LIVETHEFUEL Episode 54. On this Episode we talk about how to start a Ketogenic lifestyle. Someone who has deep knowledge in the subject is the NSNG trademarked creator himself. Vinnie Tortorich who returns to co-host the show! We also talk about topics and best practices learned from his 4 years of Podcasting.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:01″] Some of the biggest things Vinnie has learned thanks to Podcasting.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:56″] The annoyance of popups and trademarking NSNG.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:13″] Pure Vitamin Club
[spp-timestamp time=”13:48″] Fruit and Vegetables sourced locally vs shipped in.
[spp-timestamp time=”17:37″] B12 Product from Pure Vitamin Club.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:27″] LIVETHEFUEL Resource Page. Purity of the messaging and promoting products you believe in.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:50″] Villa Cappelli Olive Oil.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:09″] Vinnie tells us about some Italian runners that came from their version of the special forces who ran a marathon across a desert on just olive oil.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:58″] Takes years of training to be able to run marathons, or anything effectively for that matter. You have to put in the reps. Start small and work up to it.
[spp-timestamp time=”31:12″] Vinnie has studied at a much higher level than most personal trainers. Vinnie studied at Medical School of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:02″] Doctors, most only know drugs and not true health or nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:33″] Finding a Ketogenic lifestyle. Vinnie notes that NSNG is not a Ketogenic diet. Don’t just jump in. Go spend a week or two eating cleaner and the most important part is to start reading and listening to properly understand the lifestyle. It will make the leap easier.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:24″] The Charlie Foundation and the ketogenic influence in health to battle epilepsy.
[spp-timestamp time=”43:04″] “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.” All you can do is consistently show them the path.
[spp-timestamp time=”47:59″] The bad four letter word. Diet is a short term mindset. We gain and lose weight based on hormones. Vinnie explains about the hormones that tell you that you are full and the ones that make you feel hungry.
[spp-timestamp time=”55:14″] Eat yourself healthy rather than taking the easy option of popping a pill.
[spp-timestamp time=”56:45″] We have become a ‘Want it now society’ and see “the pill” as the magic bullet. A pharmacy is just a temporary band-aid.
[spp-timestamp time=”1:00:28″] Final Words

038: 2017 Nutrition Balance with Erin Sparrold

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Nutrition Powered Co-Host for 2017:

Final Words on Balance

Right now Erin and Dr. Megan Cannon of Mind of the Athlete are working hard to bring about some change in how people approach their bodies and their health. They are starting a program and launching a group that is meeting at Mind of the Athlete, starting January 9th 2017 called BALANCE. It is all about approaching your body image and your nutrition from a healthy place to build health. More than focusing on trying to lose weight. A lot of people miss the boat trying to make the number on the scale smaller. They make themselves much less healthy. Sometimes they just don’t know how to do it well.

033: The Secret Life of Fat Author Dr. Sylvia Tara PhD

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 17:00:00 +0000

Fat… Understand It, Know It, Beat It:

Knowledge is power and a lot of us certainly have not been educated when it comes to understanding Fat. On this episode, we talk with Dr. Sylvia Tara. Sylvia holds a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She was a consultant with McKinsey & Company and has worked at some of the world’s largest biotechnology companies. She lives in the Los Angeles, California area. Sylvia is now the author of The Secret Life of Fat. The book brings together years of research to reveal its’ true identity… as an endocrine organ. The right amount, is critical to our health.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:17″] What got Dr. Sylvia into Biochemistry and more specifically into Fat
[spp-timestamp time=”04:06″] We think of this as excess calories from overeating which triggers it to be stored for later use. We have too much and we must get it off right away. We actually need to stop living the “Low Fat’s” lifestyle and get back to Healthy Fats. It is actually an endocrine organ, meaning it is producing hormones that are releasing into our bloodstream. Our bodies depend on those hormones for so many things. These cells keep our immune system, along with our bones strong. Even our brain size is linked to healthy fats.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:54″] The hormone that your fat produces and distributes is called Adiponectin. It helps guide it back to your fat tissue through your blood stream. It helps clear the blood of Triglycerides and also toxins.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:41″] Visceral fats, Nutritional Cleansing, fasting and sending your organs on vacation
[spp-timestamp time=”12:53″] Intermittent fasting
[spp-timestamp time=”16:34″] What is a calorie
[spp-timestamp time=”19:43″] Know your fat and understand it
[spp-timestamp time=”21:44″] Fat is an obsession, it’s a dirty word. The four letter word “Diet”
[spp-timestamp time=”24:50″] Position on liposuction
[spp-timestamp time=”25:58″] We are all born with a certain amount of stable fat cells.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:45″] Obesity. Our bodies are good at adapting to the environment. Our stem cells can even create fat cells in the absence of food.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:16″] You are not just shrinking a reserve of calories, you are shrinking an organ. Leptin is a hormone that your fat cells produce. It’s the “Master Hormone” That Regulates Body Weight and is tied to a lot of your major organs including your brain.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:16″] #NSNG
[spp-timestamp time=”35:10″] Human Growth Hormone. The body creates it’s own HGH, Dr. Sylvia shares examples of when it is naturally produced.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:06″] The benefits of fasting, detoxing and your body cleaning itself out
[spp-timestamp time=”37:48″] The Grain Brain
[spp-timestamp time=”39:50″] Understanding your body vs diets
[spp-timestamp time=”41:34″] Looking to lose 10lb’s in the next 24 hours. A free give away on Dr. Sylvia’s website
[spp-timestamp time=”43:06″] Take the time to understand what this is and what it actually does for your body. Weight loss is really hard. There is not a quick fix, it’s about a new lifestyle.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:33″] Using chocolate as a reward during a fasting period.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:22″] Willpower. It’s like a battery, you have to put in the reps to keep it charged.
[spp-timestamp time=”48:07″] A traditional MD or the average everyday Doctor does not know anything about nutrition.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:24″] There is no cookie cutter solution. We are all different.
[spp-timestamp time=”53:42″] Your ab’s are not made in the gym, they are made in the kitchen
[spp-timestamp time=”57:02″] Put in the reps, hone your craft
[spp-timestamp time=”58:30″] Kristy Jo Hunt. Throwing out the scales. Using archaic BMI readings
[spp-timestamp time=”01:01:40″] Final Words

Final Words

Empower yourself. Fat control may seem elusive, and it might seem like you have tried things but failed. The more you know, the more you can manage your fat. Knowledge is power. Fat is not what you think it is. It’s not just a reserve of excess calories. It’s not something you have to get rid of at all costs. You can have fat and be healthy. More importantly, you have to understand your fat. You have to understand it is an organ. It’s not just sitting there. You have to know how to work with it and not against it if you’re really want to manage your fat.
