[@anngraziosi7504]

This podcast is so wonderful! As a scientist and retired clinical trial manager, what you said about studies and IRBs is spot on! And key to understand our healthcare is that most studies are funded by those that will benefit financially the most (eg big Pharma) and not necessarily the natural food/ health industry. Western medicine concentrates on covering up symptoms (pain pills/antidepressants) and not finding the actual root cause of the illness. The fact that most functional doctors are not covered by insurance exacerbates the problem. Plus, in our society, people have a lack of patience and want a quick fix (ie pill) rather than a health driven diet and exercise. These pills often cause additional illness while covering up the initial issue.

[@anngraziosi7504]

Yes! Stress is killing us and making us so sick! I’m not sure society realizes the importance of addressing and controlling stress and anger and fear. Causing so much physical and emotional pain. What a fabulous podcast! 👍🏼👏🏼♥️🙏thank you!

This is wonderful information. My belief, after being sick for 20-30 years, and detoxing my body (which I had too because my organs were shutting down ) that fat is required for cell health and function. I eat a high fat diet and feel much better than before on a low fat diet.

[@TheMindfulMovement]

[@joanneclark8256]

​@icanbestronger yes ! How you doing . I have a fatty liver as well .. did you figure something out ??l worried .

[@bonnieo8]

@@icanbestrongerI had my gallbladder removed years ago, too, but haven’t been impacted at all by eating fat. Maybe if you take things a bit slower? I tend to focus on getting plenty of protein and don’t consciously add fat. Well, unless you consider that I choose to eat full fat yogurt, cottage cheese, and sour cream. I still tend to drain fat from any hamburger and steam my fish. And, in the past when I was trying to lose weight (80 lbs), I usually considered that on a ketogenic, the body fat that I was burning was part of percentage of fat I was “eating” when I considered the approximate calories I was eating. Just really kept track of the carbs I was eating and tried to keep them below 30 grams a day. Later, I was more low-carb and combined that way of eating with intermittent fasting. My “bright line” now is: No sugar, grains, or seed oils and don’t really measure anything. I don’t want to lose anymore weight, though, and since listening to Mary Ruddick, I plan on cooking more with animal fat.

[@darrenwalshe8513]

Mary is a remarkable lady ❤️

[@afenton32]

I've learned so much from this video. Mary is very knowledgeable on nutrition. I've been having major brain fog issues and I've been experiencing some of the symptoms of high oxalates. I've been dairy free for a while now, but now I may have to change it up a bit. I also didn't know that a Carnivore diet could be beneficial to mental health. I have been a vegetarian for almost thirty years now, so to go on a all carnivore diet would be really difficult for me, but I have mental issues, so it has me thinking. Thank you so much for providing this wonderful information!

[@joolds-ruppel1846]

You sound just like me. I’m feeling better and better just eating low ox veggies, fruit and having Greek organic olive oil. I also introduced chicken, turkey and hard boiled egg slowly. I’m not doing red meat tho. I use a slow cooker with broth for the meat. So tender it’s almost like eating tuna. It helps to give thanks to the animal before eating just like the American Indian 😊. Good luck!

[@fatfullday]

You may just need to up your animal fat a bit. I have done keto/carnivore for 2.5 years now and i notice that my depression is gone when my animal fats are adequate. so at least 100gm of fat. But if my fat is low, my mood will really struggle. Fat is really helpful for brain and nerve function. :)

[@afenton32]

@@fatfullday Thank you for the tip. I do eat eggs, cheese and fish often. But, I'll see if I can up the amount to 100 gm daily.

Do people consider themselves vegetarians while eating fish? I’m new to the lingo

[@YVM3311]

great interview. just unfortunate that host's audio was a bit too low. great information and well driven thru. Mary is wonderful. i love listening to her interviews.

[@brianinbrisbane6632]

Thanks for an excellent interview. The information here is just what I need to get me back on track with my diet. Some time ago I heard a lot of this at our Bonfire Yoga classes in Brisbane, Australia. Since we left Australia a few years ago we've slipped onto a bad diet and life. Time now to get back to what we had. Thanks again.

[@brianinbrisbane6632]

Excellent. Thanks for that great information. I'm going back to real dairy instead of lactose free for.my home made yoghurts. So much info about nuts too; might reduce my intake of them too. We used to hear a lot about stress related illnesses too during our Bonfire Hot yoga classes in Brisbane.

[@kfamfun4485]

Terrific interview, listens and doesn’t interrupt. Thanks!

[@tratincica2211]

She is such a sweetheart 😊

[@3ATTR1X]

I find my homemade kefir from kefir grain, has the enzymes to break lactose down. So a spoonful a day does the trick. Kefir store brought a mostly culture made. Kefir grain can have up to 77 different bacteria microbes that live together, and can seed overtime within the gut. I have the Bulgaria grain strain, there are many, Tibet strain looks the best.

[@joolds-ruppel1846]

Finally someone talking about oxalates. Finding a reliable list of high oxalates is impossible. Any advice?

Great Pod & Hands down Mary´s work is more than fantastic. I follow it with great interest THANK You both (spec. Mary) PS: Ikaria, upp until the early 60:s, was one of the prison-islands in Greece. There, communists & others, for whatever reason, persecuted by the right-wing regime in Athens... Where forced there, under harsh conditions as part of their "rehabilitation" (a little ugly detail for this beautiful island and its people)

What causes the high atherosclerosis rate (without increased mortality from CVD) in the Masai?

[@AncestralFuel]

Dr Mann in the 70s studied the Maasai and conducted hundreds of autopsies and found they had signs of heart disease but essentially no heart attacks. His theory was that it was their extensive walking - average 12 miles a day. They herd animals on foot. For this reason and many others, I walk 10 miles a day in case the carnivore diet was not best for me - it seems to be best, but I am not certain. Extensive low impact aerobic exercise is for me an insurance policy.

[@bonnieleary1197]

In terms of the blue zones I think Dan Buetner got a pretty girlfriend who is vegan and the stories of the blue zones took off and got skewed from there. Sorry but it’s true. Same with the plant based doc Will Bulzeweitz and his beauty Queen wife who turned him vegan. Now he only preaches vegan diets.

[@joanneclark8256]

I do have to ask in regards to going gluten. Free most people are not eating bread due to the fact of the sugar, but also isn't there glicified which causes a lot of harm

[@tuulafai4046]

[@joanneclark8256]

I do have to ask if it's a lot of excellence that you're pulling out. Would it be actually the food that you're pulling out? Would it be actually the food that you're pulling out? Or the chemicals that are on them?

So oxylates binds with dairy ? What about raw milk or almond?

[@FunTime-uj8sz]

[@joanneclark8256]

How much dairy is required

[@JacquiQ]

They eat real whole food in season and what they can catch and grow and make themselves ...they eat grains, they eat dairy, they eat fruit....we go to the sprmkt :( where most food is processed and pasteurised etc...

[@bozidarsadak]

Ach, now I understand why they eat traditionally. It is because communism stifles growth and development so they were not even able to come to a point where the most modern and developed countries are and therefore they dont have these problems as we in the modern world have. Communism has literarly set them back and they are stuck with foods and way from long time ago. There is a false assumption here that Mary is making that communism is something beautiful and it helps preserve tradition. People in general were eating healthier in the past and Ikaria is just a place frozen in time by the claws of communism. We can use that to learn and study a diet from the past but a communism as an ideology is really harmful. Just look at Soviet Russia, North Korea, China and any other place which has communism as an ideology in place. Mary I love you but communism stifles growth.

Not trying to argue, I’m really just trying to figure this thing out

With all due respect, how is it that just proteins and fats are the only thing to build cells and not complex carbohydrates? I am asking this respectfully , where do you get the evidence of that from?

Have you ever heard of essential carbs? But you have heard of essential fatty acids and proteins, right?

Have you ever heard of the blue zones and how they mostly fuel themselves on complex carbohydrates and not on essential fats nor essential amino acids? @@puidemare2337

[@bootlegskate]

Love these interviews and have listened to many of them, but always rushing as a busy mom. I've noticed there is a lot of repetition.. Les saying the same thing in the intro then when starting to talk to the person, I don't know why the intro is even remotely necessary. Same with the end bit although that's easier to cut off. And in questions, noticed a lot of drawn out explaining, sounds like my dad talking lol. I think the interviewees get what you're saying right away as does the audience and it gets redundant. Hope constructive criticism is okay! Love the channel so much, live for Sarah's mediations! But yeah wish the interviewing was a bit more succinct and concise so they wouldn't be unnecessarily longer. Just sharing bc if I feel this way I'm sure others do too. Thank you!

[@joanneclark8256]

Is pcos family dysautonomia?

[@oskaredwall7662]

Why say carbs don't feed the cells tho. Ofc it can, glucose. Gluconeogenesis is the extent it makes carbs from amino acids when not sufficient sugar is in yhe diet.

[@joanneclark8256]

I also need to ask since you're very educated. What about cancers? And it must be told that it's a high acidity needing alkaline???? Which is fruit and veggies . Scott beats cancer ..

Barbara o neil yes nope to dairy so if our dairy isnt so good as mary says so whats a good dairy

[@lisacasanovas8788]

Raw, (unpasteurised) and fermented…such as kefir.

[@joanneclark8256]

What about cheese

[@lessons9745]

I seriously don't know what she means when she says the body doesn't use carbs in the cells?? When glycogen is used up, muscle protein is broken down into amino acids. The liver uses amino acids to create glucose through biochemical reactions (gluconeogenesis). For energy. Everything gets made into glucose, or hormones or amino acids. Depending.....

[@AncestralFuel]

I think she is referring to the Randall Cycle, which when you combine fats and carbs, the carbs get locked out of your cells and thus raise blood sugar.

Please tell me that I'm not assuming here. But you're saying you'd work with people with cancer? I hope it's not a meat basis that you're speaking of should it not be alkaline ?
