When l started to eat raw ripe fresh organic alkaline produce to survive antibiotic damage, the mind calmed down and l became very "zen" and clearer. Anxiety and panic and worse was caused by grains and meats. Dairy especially had caused asthma and mucus in nose and lungs.

It's because some of the information is given out due to some personal agenda rather than for the good of the average Joe. You should always cross the info and find the pieces that are agreed upon the most - they tend to be closer to reality. If there are hundreds of studies that claim 1 thing and 3.6 studies that claim the opposite, you know who you're probably going to believe to. However, numbers alone are not enough, since studies often tend to seek to prove a point the authors intended to prove from before conducting the research, and they're not objective - so it is important to go look on HOW the studies were conducted. It is our body and we don't need to experiment with it at our own risk. To mitigate said risk as much as possible, you should always do your due diligence and research any step you take towards hopefully a healthier life. Also, this dude says one thing but actually proves the exact opposite - what the majority of experts agree upon, you can go see my comment for that if you'd like.

Dr Tim Spector's first interview on DOAC was the first of this series podcasts I ever watched and I can honestly say it was a life changing experience for me. The discovery of this topic of the gut microbiome has been a game changer. I will never look at food in the same way and my newly acquired obsession this with this topic has become a running joke in my family. I have watched many other DOAC podcasts since discovering the series , each one better than the last. The foundation of the series success is Steve's exceptional skill as an interviewer and his ability to get the best out of whoever he is in conversation with. nothing it out of bounds and it is personal and human and relatable no matter the topic. Love it.

[@What-The-Beef]

It's because nutrition science is a joke science. They can't do real scientific trials on people to establish actual cause for ethical reasons, so they place so much importance on surveys and association studies. The processed food and pharma industries heavily influence research and muddy the waters so much (which is their aim). It's the old "ice cream consumption causes shark attacks" association nonsense. There will always conflicting studies because they are easy to pump out.

[@Dalabombana]

To all those who either didn’t watch the video and commented or are still confused - the main takeaway is avoid overly processed food, eat more fermented foods and fibre (nuts and seeds provide both protein and fibre), don’t supplement with protein powder unless you are bodybuilding, as you are probably ok. Keep doing your keto if it works, IF, and vegetarian / meat diet, etc. Just remember to look after your biome with implementing and taking care of your gut microbes. It’s not actually that difficult and doesn’t conflict with any diet other than low-fat, which we all know today is bad for you. That’s not a fad, it’s already been completely debunked. Edit: To the persistent commenters who again clearly STILL haven’t watched the video and getting triggered over my comment of low fat being bad for you: I’m not writing a thesis on this because you are too lazy to watch the video. I made a brief outline of the themes assuming people will want to watch the actual video to learn more. If you watch it you will understand what is meant by low fat being bad for you. Clue: It’s nothing to do with the whole food diet in Asia 😂

I don't know if it's largely psychological but I do somehow feel better, with the most obvious change in my physique (I'm suddenly built like a gladiator going on an 8 pack, which I never could achieve at the gym before lol).

Seeds to me are odd to eat for nutrients. They are designed to pass through intact and if not as soon as they are in a moist environment the start to absorb nutrients in order to start to grow (obviously not in us long enough to physically grow) does it take nutrients instead of give them up? It’s designed to take not give via evolution of seeds .

no its not, no animal on earth eats only meat... not even carnivores, cats for example who almost live only on animals don't have the ability to break down plants so they eat the stomach of prey with greens inside, this way they can digest it. Bears eat a lot of berries and so do dogs, I don't know of any animal eating only meat and they don't have the privilege's to eat only the muscle. I don't know of any animal only eating vegies either. Just be a normal human and eat both, instead of using yourself as a science experiment. It can only end in disaster and don't advocate and try to get other people to do the same, until we have at least 50 years of data, before that we don't know if you will get sick from it in a year. smoking feels good as well, so do drugs, sugar feels as energy, you cannot go around living your life on what you are feeling without any data to support it.

In Serbia and Montenegro (probably other countries as well) our grandparents and our parents used to make and making even today fermented vegetables, carots, cabbage, green tomatoes, cauliflower etc and we are calling this product "turšija". For centuries they knew about this process.

[@joannasheldon2146]

Okay, great that you introduced fermented veg, but folks -- (1) try to use organic veg which will have more good microbes on it because it's grown in living soil, and (2) if you want to make sure you don't get an explosion use a jar with a rubber ring, like a clip-top Kilner or (my preference) a Weck jar. DON't open the jar every day or so because you're letting oxygen in which encourages the development of mould. The rubber ring will allow excess CO2 to escape without letting oxygen in.

[@mitchellgillen5984]

When fermenting anything it is important that the salt is sea salt and not table salt with anti-caking agents. Also, water quality counts too, as tap water will inhibit fermentation due to the presence of chlorine and fluoride. Use spring water.

[@chezsuzie]

Or no water. Cabbage typically has enough water in it and the salt and a little “massage” can coax it out.

[@ilkeadrall710]

Of course there isn't any one way about food. In fact until some 50 years ago most of people eat healthy. Likely Mediterranian and Indian cultures have been the most praised on this stuff but the starting points are always the same ... - whole food, locally bought or planted or ..., homemade, processed at home, you eat it at home, .. - broad range of food you pick up from earth (vegetables, herbs, lentles, mushrooms, ...) - fats: oil, animal fat, ... - proteins ... very very little. - small portions. - No snacking, you eat three times ... kids four times.

Well, that is a big part of what Tim advises. We all react differently to food, the Zoe website has that at the forefront of its campaign and tests how your body reacts to different foods. Tim uses epidemiology and other studies to form his advice, if a study proved he was wrong he'd happily follow the science and his advice would change. He has even talked about this. Other people certainly become very stubborn with their opinions, partially as they have staked their career on them.

[@acebilbo]

I do take most of my supplements and sometimes even food by checking how much with muscle testing. Took me a year to become sensitive to the measurement. It is interesting how different the amounts can be day to day. Normally, there is consistency. Everyone is different in who they are. Pay attention to your own body.

Vitamin D...Omega 3.... His explanations were really limited. Vit D from the sun would be a great thing if 1) we had any :) 2) we were all sat under it exactly at 12:00, with perfect UV balance with our bodies fully being able to absorb it, etc. ) ...Omega 3 got my blood boiling hah

[@kylerkonnor6461]

Also, as you age your skin becomes less and less adept at producing vitamin D. I think absorption becomes less efficient as well. John Campbell on KZbin has a few videos very good videos about vit D. A recent one with a guest doctor was excellent. I highly recommend.

[@alexandermacneil4430]

I've recently made the switch to a low carb whole foods diet (including making my own sauces, dressings etc.) with a focus on improving daily fiber intake and omega 3 fatty acids (average western diet has a negative ratio of omega 6: omega 3s in which the latter in larger amounts leads to inflammation). I'm eating more fermented food now daily (not going overboard of course) such as sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, full-fat greek yogurt (the more sour the better), pickled ginger aka sushi ginger, aged cheese etc. I've also added flaxseed (grounded), and other seeds into my diet (chia seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds etc.). I'm eating more nuts (pecan, almonds, walnuts etc.) as well but keeping a watch on portion sizes (nuts are PACKED with calories). I plan to look into and possibly add kefir and expanding my diet. Your body over time, your taste buds, will adapt to the new foods you are eating. You will be surprised after a few weeks that you no longer hate the taste of food X. You will start craving food you never used to eat nor liked and that's the influence microbes in your gut/digestive system has on a person when you start feeding them particular foods they crave!

[@chezsuzie]

Yes! People rarely talk about how your tastebuds change after eating natural foods. Since I’ve been focused on eliminating processed foods, I’ve come to almost detest restaurant food, which we resort to for convenience when we travel. It’s so gross: greasy, overly salty and cloyingly sweet! It just doesn’t taste good anymore and leaves me missing my chopped salads!

Good that you are now listening and are ready not to be a slave to your cravings - it’s the “bad” microbes that do that to us. If you gradually make changes you will lose your taste for the favourite, I’m guessing sweet foods. I was a hardened chocoholic for years but now I have the occasional piece of 85-90% dark chocolate and don’t give a second thought to any other kind. The thing is change can’t be forced, it has to be the right time for it to work and it looks like you are there or nearly there. It might take a while to adjust but keep at it and you will feel better for the change. Best wishes for fewer health issues.

[@schattenskorpion]

I feel the problem with what he is saying is that his advice is mostly meant for people who misunderstand things, want a simple way out or don't do enough research. Restricting calories and eating enough protein are good things, people just do them wrong and do them instead of doing other, important things. I've seen caloric restriction work in many of my friends, who have kept the weight off and are now in great shape. I've also seen and personally experienced how much protein intake effects muscle growth, and muscle mass is heavily associated with lifespan (again, a simplified statement that would need context, but it's hard to always mention everything). Could it be that he purposely tries to make "controversial" statements, that go against the popular advice, because he has a book to sell and wants to garner attention? In his defense, he does is in a way where he is almost never saying anything that's untrue, but I get the feeling he is sometimes unnecessarily focusing on the wrong things.£ One example: He says too much protein is bad, then says about 1 gram per kg is a good amount, more if you want to gain muscle. That's what most people say, that IS the popular advice. He then states "if you have 100g of protein in the morning, that's too much", but anyone who has tried doing that knows how terrible it feels, it's obviously too much and not what reasonable people recommend. The bad advice is not "eat enough protein", the bad advice would be "eat as much protein as possible" and that is not what the majority of fitness people are saying. He's not wrong in saying "there is such a thing as too much protein" but he is misconstruing it a little by making it seem as if people are downing 100g of protein powder multiple times a day. I don't think that advice in particular is valuable.

[@bellathemusicaddict]

You summed up exactly how I feel about his interviews here in DOAC - he makes statements based on the „average“ human or the less educated individual that hasn’t done their research and believe all the marketing stuff out there.

As someone who is in their early 40s and was pretty active when younger, the thing that younger people need to remember is that you only really start to have or notice problems around the age of 40.

I've been struggling with gut problems for years (mostly because of ED/anorexia and the impact it left on my overall condition) and a dietitian once suggested I should try to give up on the protein powder for the sake of my intestine - even though I always choose whey isolate. Don't wanna replace it with flour, even gluten free ones, as my body does not really like it (if I ever happen to ocassionally ead bread, even made of 2-3 ingredients and no wheat, it makes me feel bad) so... should I try to make a simple egg whites omlette instead? I might actually be eating a bit too much protein so I'm not worried about deficiency, I'm just used to making the pancakes as it became an easy, quick morning routine, but... Do you know if there's actually any scientific reasearch proving that long-term use of whey protein might be messing up with our guts?

When someone told me the side affects of it, I stopped it immediately, and it all went away.

This protein advice simply doesn't compute with real life experience. 1) Compare fit and strong people against those that are less fit and weak. The former group will eat way more protein than the latter. You can live to a long age in reasonable shape with lowish levels of protein but to maximise your chances of feeling good for longer and reducing falls, diabetes etc in later age then exercise and eat more protein. 2) He doesn't talk about how having more of your calories through protein reduces blood sugar spikes.

This seems like an older paradigm and his referencing ‘normal’ people get enough protein - what is the barometer for ‘normal’ right now when we live in an epidemic of ‘normal’ lifestyle diseases. My long way of saying something seems off about his protein stance relative to Dr’s like Mindy Weltz and Peter Attia who reference metabolic health, his stance seems out of context.

[@MartinGreen932]

Yes doctors should be pointing out optimum health benefits not just what will be normal. His fibre suggestions are obviously good.

[@cross-eyedmary6619]

The truth is that there is not a one-size-fits-all diet. Different machines run on different fuel. If you are lean and muscular already high protein works really well…your body knows what to do with it. But broken metabolisms are the majority now, and since medicine uses the majority as it’s baseline standard for “normal,” you get this kind of advise here. Much of the world (even the western) are starving nutritionally speaking. All the while being flabby and sedentary. For the modern “human” (if you can call this lifestyle human, because to me it is not) the kind of diet here might work better.

[@tikaanipippin]

Dogs have been around humans for at least 50,000 years, but petfood has probably been around for less than 80 years. They like our food, whatever it is and they don't seem to go off and kill their own like our cats possibly do. Here's a pointer - petfood has suffered huge price inflation recently - Its main protein input is from the chicken meat industry (which has contracted for various reasons) - old knackered laying hens, male day-old chicks that can't grow up to lay eggs, and that don't fatten so well, so this is what goes into commercial petfood, primarily, and any other food industry by-products that can't be fed to humans. Give them your leftovers plus some raw meat or fish, eggs, and perhaps some complete dried dog food as bulk, or whatever you can afford. But don't fuss too much, if their faeces are too soft, then avoid something that you are giving them - "dog treats" are often a source of loose dog bowels. If you find a complete dried food that they like and it suits them, use the same as treats, instead of buying expensive stuff of dubious provenance.

[@saph14400]

Raw meat, solved it for you. They can eat small amounts of fruits and veg. If you're getting bagged dog food, go for grain free, without fillers like corn and soy. With high quality meats. They will be expensive. I got recommended the brand "Open Farm" here in Canada for my dog, I think it's a Canadian brand. Also, unlikely that your Walmart or even petsmart will carry higher quality brands bc it takes up shelf space and it's too expensive. I choose a higher quality pet store called "ren's" here in Canada, dunno if they have it elsewhere. Avoid fish as the main protein in the dog food.

Awesome podcast! I love how Tim said that losing weight needs appetite management. Not calorie counting, but eating in such a way that you're not hungry all the time. Eating in a way that helps me stay full for longer has helped me to lose weight and feel fantastic too.

[@AngelaMStovall]

But if you're not hungry you're eating less 🤷🏼‍♀️ SO less calories. Calorie deficit FOR EACH UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL is THE ONLY THING that will reduce weight not necessarily improve health except the types of diseases associated with obesity.

[@OlgaFyodorova]

​@@AngelaMStovall Of course I eat less calories, but I'm not trying to cut calories directly. If I focus on calories, first, I'll have to count them and calculate the calories of the food I cook - this is super tedious and inaccurate. Second, I'll start avoiding fat (because it has the most calories) and try to eat less. This will make me hungry. And this doesn't work in the long run. Instead, I focus on eating in a way that makes me full for longer - and makes it easy to fast as well. I'm not hungry. And I can do one meal a day if I so choose. I can skip breakfast without any suffering. I don't snack. I'm not afraid of fat, in fact, I make sure I eat enough fat in every meal - to help me stay full. I have no idea how many calories I eat or how many calories I burn, but I'm loosing weight AND I feel great at the same time.

There were two old, (both over 18 months past sell-by date), open Philadelphia tubs. One was the normal full fat one, the other the fat-free version. I opened them both. The full fat one had rotted, had green mould and spores all over it and smelt. The fat-free one had turned into a perfectly oval, dry, rubbery, pale grey ball, which didn't have even the slightest mould on it, didn't smell at all, and just looked like a large rubber eraser.

I don't think you understood the video then. Obviously it's not aimed At anorexics where, I'm assuming, not enough calories are being consumed full stop. Rather it's suggesting you ensure that the calories you do consume are of high quality and dense in nutrition. I.e eating meats, whole foods, fish, vegetables rather than readymeals, high processed pastas, and "foods" with more than 5 ingredients etc. Whether a recovering anorexic or not, I'd have thought the logic was still sound, you're just probably targeting more calories in order to put weight on? So just eat more of the good stuff and less of the cancer-feeding high sugar foods that take up your calories but not provide actual nutrition. I.e rather than eating a tube of pringles, have a grass-fed steak. Just a thought.

[@helendennis7662]

That’s the whole point of the video, and Tim Spector’s work, and indeed all the other enlightened and educated doctors who are saying the same thing - it’s not about unrealistic “diets” that you go on and fall off, it’s about eating healthier all the time.
