I rarely comment but as someone who has been following Layne for a long time I must say that he surely is my go to source when I need reliable fitness and nutrition info. Not only does he have a phD in nutriton but also knows how to communicate his thoughts well and most importantly is honest and has integrity which is a rare sight in the industry these days since most of the “health gurus” aka charlatans/scammers have an agenda of selling you something and always spewing claims that support their narrative even if they are not factually correct. Layne is such a breath of fresh air!

[@nonfictionone]

My favourite is ‘plant chompers’. Also check out mark Mattson re fasting.

[@BradSchoenfailed]

Integrity ? Are we forgetting when Layne cheated on his pregnant wife ?

[@miloice74]

Unfortunately, the sure numbers of subscribers of keto, carnivore and IF content creator have a way bigger outreach. It reflects the level of bs people are subscribing to

[@Jaclyn1111]

I love Dr Layne's no bullsh*t approach. Cutting through the noise and giving us facts. 👏🙏

[@Opalmanor]

I love how far this podcast has come. And how open Rich is to the guest, no matter how different their lifestyle is at the time of the interview. Fascinating and beautiful! Full respect to both of these giants.

[@skaBABBLZ]

Gotten in the best shape with the least stress following Laynes stuff over the years. Not to mention he’s funny as hell and calls out the industry BS for what it is whenever it’s put out. Keep doing gods work Layne💯

[@scotchbarrel4429]

My man quotes Hitchens razor often, which must have some impact on his worldview 🤔😂

[@s.s.tillmanesq.305]

If you dont mind me asking, what would was the most impactful advice of his that you used ?

[@BigDees19]

​@@s.s.tillmanesq.305all of his stuff

[@skaBABBLZ]

@@s.s.tillmanesq.305 Overall just the simplification he’s contributed to making diet/nutrition as a whole, and he’s done that by consistently analyzing and debunking every new fad diet or nutritional strategy since the early 2000s. All while also correcting himself where he was wrong about things when new data comes out like his strong backing of BCAA’s early on, to now calling it for what it is just not being that important if your nutrition is on point. The Keep it Simple Stupid approach is how I’d like to think of it when it comes to Layne, and for me it just made all the scientific nuance really understandable from an early age

[@Hinz2005]

same!

[@niallkotah1402]

just because Layne isn't a vegan doesn't mean he's not a great person who's helping a lot of people. It's great to see Rich discussing very important topics with him.

[@zabellecaillot2931]

Could not agree more 😊

[@Gypsy218]

Would just like to add that although people have to be responsible for changes in how they eat, for example, it is important to realize that in poor communities there are few grocery stores and they don’t carry all the beautiful fruits and veggies my store does and surprisingly prices are higher. I was also surprised by the very limited food available at the store on the Navajo reservation. We were camping and needed to resupply but found very little fresh produce. On the other hand most of these communities have every type of fast food place with low cost menu options. There’s also the whole idea of being emotionally attached to the food you grew up on which in poorer families was largely carbs. Larger community level changes are also needed, there’s a lot of research on this as well. A great help was allowing people to use food stamps at farmers markets for example.

[@borrow82]

I would say it’s better that he is balanced. All food is good.

[@WarriorOfTruth]

If he was vegan, he would be great to animals too, which would make him even greater in the context!

[@Magar6]

He could be helping humans AND animals at the same time. It's not an either-or scenario.

[@tomasanthony559]

Layne Norton - & Rich Roll - Thank you for your transparency, honesty, vulnerability, and wisdom. In a time when there's so much noise - lies and cynicism - it is wonderfully empowering to hear honest, truthful, and insightful thoughts and discussions. I appreciate this conversation, particularly the last half hour.

[@gk_coach_mario3843]

Absolutely love Layne, and how he’s 100% fact driven. As non biased as anyone can be, and always willing to change his opinion based on new information. It’s a rare sight in this industry. I really appreciate you having him on your podcast, and having him bust a few of those myths. Thanks Rich, and thanks Layne!!!

[@GGrechenknecht]

Love the calmer interviews with Layne. Easier to forward these to people that do not already know him.

[@Wendys_lovinglife]

I followed the FODMAP diet and figured out that onions and garlic really hurt my stomach. So I eliminated them but I eat LOTS of other fruits and vegetables every single day - lots of salads and pineapples and other fruits every day. Eating fruits and vegetables are GOOD for us. I have no problems with my gut anymore now that I made changes - including DAILY exercise (yoga, peloton). Thank you for doing this video,

[@Seanonyoutube]

I’m sooo frustrated. I freaking love onions and garlic and ate them all my life with no problem, but i’m beginning to figure out that those two, along cauliflower and cabbage are the triggers of my really uncomfortable bloating I’ve stated to experience after moving countries…i’m so sad about it because I don’t want to stop eating them! Garlic is life 😭🧄💨

[@Wendys_lovinglife]

@@Seanonyoutube I'm with you on that - I ate onions and garlic my whole life too - even a little bit of purple onion destroys my stomach so I avoid them now - but the plus side is that we figured out what was hurting us and our breath is better Sean :-)

[@Seanonyoutube]

@@Wendys_lovinglife no nooo i’m not giving up lol, I noticed the bloating went away for a while after taking antibiotics…I’ll continue to search for solutions! 🧄🧅🧄🧅

[@limitisillusion7]

What's quantity of onions/garlic are y'all eating? I usually use them to season stuff, very low quantities that would seem unlikely to be an issue. I always heard the old wisdom around onions and garlic is that they were medicinal and meant to be eaten in small quantities, and I kind of follow that by chance. Or maybe you're vampires...

[@Seanonyoutube]

@@limitisillusion7 doesn’t really matter how much I eat honestly even a small amount lately has been causing me bloating all night…obviously more is worse…

[@kellrockets101]

Layne was my coach like 15 years ago. He was awesome! Leanest I ever got, and his diet system he helped me to get there was so simple and allowed pretty much any food group. I've continued to learn from him ever since.

[@sharonbest4983]

rich, thank you for being a great interviewer. You have a great way of summarizing and getting to the point.

[@TangoMasterclassCom]

I agree. I am so happy when Rich says "yes, I get it" and moves on to the important detail or another question. Many interviewers want to talk too much themselves, or think the listeners are dummies and need to hear everything explained 10 times.

[@Weak1987]

Whenever I am not sure about some specific topic, I know I can go to Layne and get the most objective scientific consensus on the matter. Trust Dr. Layne!

[@csgarrett1]

Thank you Rich for these interviews that you do . I love that you do so much research in your shows . You are inspiring many lives !

[@egg789456123]

This may be my favourite rich episode ❤ thank you layne 🤯

[@saraherdrich7794]

I love this level of respect and high mindedness in this discussion. Internet nutrition influencers are a guilty pleasure and I often know it’s probably not scientifically sound…..but it’s oh so alluring. I am refreshed listening to the evidence behind all of these topics and especially the protein debate. I learned more today than I have in a long while. Thank you for always contributing to the greater good in your podcasts.

[@Amy-datamama]

Loving this episode. Rich asks excellent questions and Layne gives very easy to understand answers. The combination of these two guys is awesome.

Man, I love your content, Rich! Thanks, brother.

[@sectionalsofa]

I'm halfway through and this is a great conversation. Very accessible and engaging.

[@brookie_cuqui]

I appreciate this convo, there's so much nuance. I think people get so up in arms about nutrition because it is literally who we are. We are what we eat, so when that is challenged it can feel deeply critical regarding our choices, preferences, blindspots, and insecurities. Layne looks so much like Joey Carbstrong, someone who'd be great on the pod. Rich, your beard is at its maximum glory.

[@juliesill8074]

Really great discussion Rich & Layne - what I truly love about all these podcasts is it creates better SELF AGENCY for everyone. Thank you both for all you do in educating, informing, aligning. Peace. Plants.

[@mayflyz281]

this was a really good interview full of information and insights, thanks for putting this out there.

[@darrisnelson5223]

What a great conversation! I appreciate both perspectives. I’m a natural skeptic, and although I am plant-based and have been for almost 30 years, I try not to make that my identity. My goal is to always stay open and listen. When I hear somebody say something that intrigues me, I do my own research and I aim and look at both sides. There are people that I look to and you both are on that short list. I love the analogy “the house is on fire… Just get out!“ with regard to obesity, and really any addiction or issue you’re stuck on. The study Layne loosely repeated with regard to Democrats and Republicans and long held beliefs being difficult to shift is interesting… I saw that through the Covid pandemic… There is so much new information and things we’ve learned having gone through the last three years. People that followed what they were told, and believed was the best action are having difficulty considering that the alternative may have been better. Critical thinking skills have waned, and we look to others to make our decisions often times without question. We need to always question, to always ask why, to always ask for more information. These conversations are so helpful to me and both of you have made a huge impact on humanity. Consider about the story of the boy on the beach throwing a sea star back into the ocean, and the question of what difference did it make tossing back one sea star… And the response “it made a difference to that one”. if you touch one life you’ve touched 1000… Thank you both❤❤

[@alicejwho]

Great comment!

[@lukecameron8144]

This is extremely helpful and informative, thank you gentlemen

[@TangoMasterclassCom]

I really enjoyed this episode. I follow Dr. Norton for about a year now, since I saw him on the Huberman lab. He gives really good information. I like his What the Fitness videos & Educational videos. I am now on a fitness program with a fitness & nutrition coach. We measure everything. I found out at the start that I was already eating more than 2g/kg of protein every day (I am very light, and I eat a lot). I did gain muscle mass in this training program of 8 weeks (5 strength workouts per week, 1 day cardio, 1 day liss). Now going for round two next week. The great thing of gaining muscle mass on a plant based diet is that it's so low in saturated fats, and so high in fiber. I am lifelong vegetarian, and vegan since 2017.

[@SmithAndBurgessFabricati-ih5lq]

Thanks for bringing Layne on... I love watching semi-opposite ends of the diet spectrum as it keeps me balanced.

[@lutherlessor4029]

I just wanted to comment from the other end. I've watched Layne's stuff for a long time, and watched this initially because of him. I didn't know until about a 1/3 of the way through the podcast that Rich was plant-based, because there was no hesitation or gravitation away from discourse or the science being presented. I appreciate Rich's openness to both human congenial conversation and for non-dogmatic approaches.

Great interview. 👏 I do think that while diet choices are not binary for weight loss and adherence, they're pretty close to binary for the environment and longevity, no? I don't know any earth scientists (I am one) or actual longevity researchers (Attia is not one) who think diets with a lot of meat work in their fields.

As an endocrine therapist and nutritionist I totally respect Layne Norton....cuts through all the crap and gets to the science...and not just cherry picking data.

[@christineward6105]

Layne Norton is great! Watch some of his videos, with an open mind/ear. Layne does not villanize any diet/food, he simply, explains the scientific breakdown of various studies/data and explains it so that even us, with biases, can understand. What he does do is, "debunks" influencers who cherry-picks one detail/claim to villanize a particular food, food group and/or diet, to fit their narrative/agenda. Layne Norton is someone to trust with the info/content he puts out. He explains how he works/thinks, in this video, if you watched it to the end. He makes total sense! 💕👍 💕

[@laurenwarren9434]

Seed oils were brought to attention as. being detrimental to health by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn , Cardiologist who says that research shows the damaging affects on the heart and specifically the endothelial lining. He is now just one of quite a few Cardiologists who agree with him and the research that is now out there. Again, we are speaking about the oil (refined) not from the whole source.

[@marleri]

Yes esselstyn doesn't allow meat or saturated fat either as well as not allowing other oils for heart health. He's big on consuming lots or green leafy plants.

[@jdawg414]

@@marleriYes, all oils not just seed.

[@dvdmon]

Esselstyn does not single out seed oils. He singles out oils period, and even fat content from whole foods. He is not doing this based on science. He points to one "study" where people consumed a large amount of oils and it measured their "endothelial health" based on this test called "flow mediated dilation." And extrapolated this to mean that oil consumption would permanently harm the endothelium, but there's no outcome data that isolates oil as a singular cause of such harm. Esselstyn doesn't want his patients even eating nuts or avocados he's so fat-phobic.

[@bekind1966]

Dr Esselstyn is not and has never been a cardiologist. He was a surgeon.

[@JasonActualization]

Seed oils increase LDL susceptibility to oxidation which is injurious to the endothelium and potentiates atherosclerosis ultimately. Let these oils lubricate machinery, but not mankind.

You really saved my life and in many ways I owe my life to you. I’m excited to share my story of transformation with you at some point and what a leading role you played in it. But I also wanted to share how your stance on diet has been a bit troubling for me. I am suffering from colitis and IBS and nothing I’ve tried helped me manage my symptoms. Carnivore diet was the only thing that fixed my symptoms and I’ve improved by 80-90%. I don’t like the diet and I’m not really a carnivore enthusiast. But I must say I can’t argue how beneficial it has been for me based my personal hands-on experience. I wanted to share just to provide a different perspective.

I think the average person should be able and also should verify the sources people cite. If sources are not provided then the average person should just ignore the information. But a lot could be done also from the scientific side in the communication as you stated. Maybe somw kind of better abstracts or summaries that is easy to understand.

[@Gypsy218]

Layne is new to me but it’s exciting to find a smart person who’s so knowledgeable and not just hawking a particular point of view. BTW I’m that person who has high(borderline) LDL and high HDL and low triglycerides, no doctors have told me it’s rare altho I guess it could be. I’ve had this profile for a while (when eating a regular diet) and it hasn’t changed much since I started to eat a low carb diet except maybe triglycerides getting lower. Ive refused to take statins because my ratio is good. But as an older adult I’ve developed Type 1 diabetes after having a virus (it’s the autoimmune type) so I’ve relented because both Peter Attia and a cardiologist I went to see said the lower the LDL or apoB the better and either type of diabetic should just be on a statin. I’m taking the lowest amount you can take and I can’t believe the amount of decrease of LDL with no side effects.

You just got Rich Rolled!

I would love to be part of a study. I lost almost 130lbs in my 20's, I am now in my 50s and have never regained any of my weight. Never YoYo'd, maintained within the typical 5ish pounds all this time. All through changing my diet and daily exercise.

[@jerryyono7306]

What did you do? Congrats by the way.

[@workhardplayharderx2]

Thank you!! I did what nobody wants to hear. I cut my portions, eat 3 balanced meals a day, drink 90oz of water a day (Coffee in the morning), walk as much as I can (I have a sit down job) and lift weights 5 days a week. I also have always kept Saturated fats low, I lost my weight in the low fat era so that is just what I've always done just because it's always worked for me@@jerryyono7306

Rich you are looking more and more like a GQ model every day :) love the beard.. Also great episode. Thankful for those of you trying to put honest info out there..😃

Just like to clarify that low carbs and keto are very different things. Low carb doesn’t mean zero carb and low carb doesn’t mean high fat. Also, many people out in the world on keto are not people who exercise a lot, just want to lose weight. An extreme example are type 1 diabetics right before they’re diagnosed. Because we’re not producing much insulin, glucose in our blood cannot get into cells (except for muscles which take up glucose in a different way)so the body turns to fat burning. In a short period of time I lost over 25 lbs (I’m only 5’2) and it was all fat. I looked and felt horrible and is what tipped off the doc that I was Type / vs Type 2 . As soon as I got on insulin that all improved.

Interesting. I’ve been on elimination diet for 1.5yrs. 95% carnivore It’s become very clear which other foods (fruits and veg). I feel better than when I was 40 (I’m 68). Rhuemetoid arthritis correcting itself. IBS gone. Itchy flaky ears Gone. Best bathroom habits ever now I’ve found 2 things that don’t ‘trigger’ a negative effect. Those are Tree ripened avocado. And plant ripened Dragon Fruit. I only eat what grows in My yard. No poison ever

Rich, could you do an episode on Intuitive Eating ? I loved this discussion, but we need to address how food restriction can be detrimental to many individuals and lead to an unhealthy relationship with food. I'd love to hear your dialogue with someone who offers an Intuitive approach to eating versus restrictive. This could help countless individuals because many -- if not most-- people can't sustain diets and food restriction long term, for a lifetime.

Dr Michelle May would be amazing to have on the show. She has spent the majority of her medical career focused on this topic.

Big supporter of your work Rich Roll. But I always dislike the subtle defensiveness that comes through on vegan protein, b12, etc. As a vegan I think we need to acknowledge the challenges and we decide vegan anyway.
