The BEST FOODS To Eat That End Inflammation & MELT BODY FAT! | Shawn Stevenson

On Today's Episode:
Deciding what to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner is a bigger decision than you know. While many of us base our meal choices on convenience, time, money, and taste, the frightening truth is that we are actually deciding what our cells will be made of, and too often we’re making sh*t choices.
Changing your overall health means understanding that food matters in ways that we don’t really comprehend. Shawn Stevenson is joining Tom to share life changing data from research and perspective on foods, pharmaceutical use, and physician diagnoses that are more than shocking! Shawn is the author of the international bestseller Sleep Smarter, and his latest book, Eat Smarter.
In this episode, Shawn opens up about his personal experience being diagnosed with a chronic, debilitating disease at 20 years old, and what it meant for him to take his health, his life, and his power into his own hands. This discussion lays out all the reasons why and the ways how you can take control of your health and stop giving that power to people that aren’t living with your pain, your suffering, and poor health. Our society isn’t making the best decisions for anyone’s health. You can be the victim or the hero of your life in this story, the decision is yours to take.
“The last 30 years have been marked by exchanging what worked for what sounds good.” -Thomas Sowell

“Inflammation can get drug through the mud as this bad thing and we want to stop all inflammation, but inflammation is critical for all functions of life.” [0:50]
“When you’re eating food, you’re not just eating food, you’re choosing what you’re making your cells out of. Every cell in your body from your heart to your brain is made from food.” [16:43]

“In 2020, two-thirds of the United States congress members received a check from a drug company.” [1:14:03]
“Whether it’s self medicated or your doctor is your dealer, we have a culture that is seeking to suppress our pain, physical and mental, instead of removing the root cause.” [1:22:14]

metabolic syndrome is an inflammatory condition with obesity, hypertension, belly fat and eventually diabetes. anti-inflammatory foods include berries and olive oil, as well as fish. stop eating inflammatory foods like sugar and corn and you will start feeling better within days and looking better within weeks. when you are young you can eat what you want. when you get old you have to be more careful.

[@fourandsixpants4276]

I lost weight by cutting out all 'yellow' fat foods and replaced with eating small portions of 'white' fat foods. Small portion 30-50gms protein each day for 3 months. Also cut out flour based foods like pasta and bread, cut out stone fruit. Cut out sugar. Ate greens (silverbeet, spinach, cabbage...) 2x a day with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and crushed garlic clove drizzled over greens. Drank 1.5 litres a day. Walked 2x a day.

On the 'calorie is a calorie' conversation... Jason Fung had a really good comment that I'll try to paraphrase.

"We're not living longer, we're dying longger",.. that hit home

[@melanierivers12]

Love this dude, I'm reading his book Sleep Smarter right now! Idk if anyone has said this yet but to answer the olive oil question... olive oil has a low smoke point, between 300-410 degrees F or so, depending on the type of oil. Once you heat it past that point, it essentially starts to burn and the beneficial omega 3s that are normally in olive oil that help with inflammation...can actually convert to harmful omega 6s that cause inflammation. That's why oils such as avocado or grape seed oils that have a higher smoke point should be used for cooking, and olive oil should be used cold.

[@aprilj2628]

yep! I use my avocado for cooking

[@cleverclogs70]

Ghee is best for cooking IMO

[@jeffb5785]

To use Olive oil for health benefits I drink it as an elixir not in my food. I also use Olive oil in some cooking but not for high-heat cooking like frying but sauteing or drizzling on salads or bread dipping. You are correct it s not meant for high-heat cooking. Also, not all Olive oils are equal, not even all Extra Virgin Olive oils are equal. The cheaper ones are probably useless to use for health. I use one called Dessert Miracle, it gave me a bit of sticker shock when I found it but I tried it and I like it.

[@tinamaria820]

[@XRP_NP]

At 53 mins in, when discussing diabetes, he carefully worded "we suck at fixing it." As a healthcare provider, I can attest to the accuracy of this statement. We are very good at "treating" diabetes along with other modifiable illnesses, but very bad at "fixing" diabetes. Today's medicine is aimed at sick care, not health care. That's the importance of having a food coach/dietician, a fitness coach/personal trainer, etc. Much like the swimming analogy, if you jump in the deep end of the pool but don't know how to swim. You no longer need a swim coach, now you need a lifeguard. You needed the swim coach way before that. That's how fitness coaches and healthcare providers relate to your health and wellness.

please keep this message going... of self-healing through food and action. ❤ My daughter came to with systematic inflammation all over her body after an allergic reaction to braces (nickel) . None of the dr. or specialist identified this as the source of the problem. Everyone wanted to just manage the condition with steroids and pills. I was told she would have to live like this the rest of her life. Then I came across a story on the Internet about a woman that underwent the same health problem. When I mentioned to the allergist my suspicion it was dismissed until the orthodontist (she listened and found it in the literature) took the braces off my daughter and she started to heal. The healing process has been a roller coaster these last 3 yrs but with endless days of research and changes in diet my daughter condition is better. ❤

In Spain we use 2 diferent types of olive oil, for heating we use the refined one, lower acidity (0,4°), supports better the heat. Then the Extra Virgin (1°) for any raw application : on pasta, bread, salads, rice, ... anywhere, délicious Remember, in Spain Olive Oil is not food, it's religion :)

[@hferrari7553]

Let me first say: I totally respect this comment, the Spanish culture, and Olive Oil🙌🏾. I also live in Europe, and the challenge I see here is this: 1. Europeans differ in their opinions of what healthy is (be it Olive oil, Fish, Wine, or whatever). The stylish Italians, the gorgeous Spaniards, au Couture French, laid-back-cool Portuguese, etc., each has the influence of their own culture (and Mama’s cooking!) to say what is “healthy” or “better”. 2. I have never, in all my travels through these awesome cultures, seen a “Mama” or any cook, measure the temperature of oil. Sorry; never seen it. Mama just puts her finger in the pan of oil, and says: yes Amore, now is ok to put food inside the pan. This can vary all the way from simmering, to WTF! Did you just burn two layers of skin girrrl?!! So, there is I think, certainly a romanticism, from perhaps non-Europeans (?), of how Olive Oil and the people it belongs to, how they “just instinctively” know how to heat it, or eat it cold, or how store it, which regions’ olives are better, etc. Even within the Mediterranean there are varied opinions. And even in the Mediterranean there are different oils sold for frying or eating which are not Olive based. Rich, poor, wealthy, healthy people exist everywhere; and not everyone is going to afford only the best oil fried at precisely 0,xxx Degree). Europe may seem sexy (and it is😉) but it doesn’t mean they are people born just knowing how to be healthier -especially since the big EU cities have a crazy abundance of fast food now. I wanted to point this out simply because we’ve all got alot to learn and new discoveries come to light. Maybe Mama DID know the best oil temperature, or maybe she just did her best not to burn the food yeah?🤷🏽‍♀️

I studied human anatomy and physiology almost 30 years ago and my thoughts exactly. How our body works together, the mitochondria and how our brain cells signal each other amazed me so much. I believe in God ever since…

I used to have a roommate that worked for merk and you guys are right on... He said he was gonna expose them if they didn't take a certain drug off the market.. He had a phD and was a sales rep for them and he said he was educating the doctor how to use the drug... As a sales rep. Everything else both of you talked about was so right on thank you so much for getting the message out.

Thank you for the subtext that parses out your interviews. Genius! I’m a long-time fan of yours, and yet when I’m researching a topic I don’t always have time to watch an episode in entirety. You are so helpful an generous with your offerings!

This is so on point and y’all FACTS! I am that CDC retired employee that thought I could make a change in the community. It was so much bigger than you can image. CDC was my dream job. I have worked in public health for over 40 years. I am so familiar with everything Shawn is saying. I know that God orchestrated my steps through it all to understand the SYSTEM! God help us all!

[@PULAG]

No wonder everyone's dying. Our CDC workers say "ya'll facts".

[@amartin9293]

I see you're retired, maybe just in time. CDC is not particularly well loved or trusted now. Their most recent egregious act is pushing schools to teach about "trans" and gay sex for kids. Why the US government thinks mutilating children's bodies will help the nation is beyond comprehension of a sane human.

[@ChrisBird1]

Fascinating ,just bought your book.

Shawn you speak my language- I'm from the Lou and I'm proud! Just loaded your book. Thank you for being you and sharing your knowledge.

[@mauimanda04]

I absolutely love the way Shawn conveys information. I am SO like Tom in that of the eggs lmao.... I make eggs the same way except over easy and wonder if I'm doing too high of heat, should I be doing evoo or ghee , etc but Shawn is right in the fact that it's already 10 miles ahead of most people. The least amount of processed food you eat, the better. Otherwise.... don't stress over the little things . Love that .

So much good information… I too have been in excessive pain.. My health got to a terrible point.. Arthritis and inflammation with diabetes riddled my body.. I was told 15 years ago by a spine Ortho I would be in a wheelchair in 5 years… Not in a wheelchair yet… My body is full of spurs all over.. It has been a journey.. So much to learn.. When I got a nutritional study done by Spectracell that really started to shed light on what was happening.. Had multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.. Then started to figure out why.. I totally agree you need more than 1 opinion on your health issues.. A few things I know for sure in my body-my Vit D level has to be at least 70, my body needs magnesium, I can’t eat over 50 gums carbs per day, I need a lot of protein-40% of my calories, I need Vit K to push the calcium in my bones.. I have to take the digestive enzymes with bile and HCL to digest my food so my body will even absorb the nutrients from the food I eat… Fast food is poison to my body… If a doctor is not helping you then move on.. Omega 3 is my friend.. Buy good quality supplements that your body needs based on lab results… Functional medicine md has helped me a lot..You have to be your own advocate… You have got to help yourself..

[@audreygregis8721]

Educate yourself about oxalates. Do a search for Sally Norton on YT, the queen of oxalate education. Oxalates cause every kind of disease out there. They bind to minerals, so you are not getting minerals from eating veggies. Grains and nuts are high oxalate foods, as are curly kale, Swiss chard, beet greens and beets, sweet potatoes (actually all potatoes), dark chocolate, kiwi, blackberries, raspberries, turmeric, black pepper, and on and on. Oxalates are like eating asbestos, little chards of glass. One of the anti-nutrients in vegetables and fruits. They cause huge joint issues, and bone loss, because the oxalate are grabbing the minerals it needs to survive. Try a low oxalate diet for 30 days and see how you feel. You have nothing to lose except pain.

[@Annapurna818]

Sleep Smarter cured me of 10 years of insomnia. Immediately I started sleeping better and longer but now 5 years later I realize that I was set on a journey of sleep improvement that has a strong spiritual impact as my brain and body heal.

[@jolantagrzelak5900]

Hi can you please share with me what you mean sleep smarter? I can't sleep I have sleep deprivation to a point that my memory decline, I have no energy I just want to lay down on couch I try every medication, herbs nothing is working for me

[@insatiable_mind]

@@jolantagrzelak5900 Sleep Smarter is Shawn Stevenson’s first book. I listened to it on Audible. He gave a lot of advice to improve sleep but I only implemented 2 or 3 of his suggestions before seeing huge improvements in my sleep quality within a few months. I gradually added more of his advice as it got easier. Sleep is so important for health but now I’ve started seeing how the dream state that I missed out on for years helps with my mental state. Dreams are strange but seen to be part of the brain putting the mind in order.

There is so much here, so much truth. I think ultimately we have lost the connection to our inherent wisdom. Taking responsibility for ourselves, and focus inward...Our bodies have so much wisdom....thoughts and feelings are also extremely important.

[@cindysams2069]

I can't LOVE THIS more than I do... I too have lived through illness/disease and NO DOC healed me.... researching implementing establishing core HEALTH took time to heal my R.A., ibs/leaky gut, adrenal fatigue, insomnia, epsteinbarr, always being sick with 'sinus infection/cold'.... now.... at 58, I have not been 'sick' in 8-9 years - NOT ONCE and I have learned how to DETOX and PURGE daily in a simple healthy safe way and lower my cellular internal inflammation.
