This thread really highlights how little any of us know about nutrition or how the body metabolizes different nutrients. Even experts in nutrition are going to give pretty tame recommendations because it is impossible to design studies that are controlled enough (in diet, time, etc) to show any causality.

Generally, eat mostly whole foods. Processed food in moderation. Sleep enough. Don't drink much alcohol. "Listen" to how your body responds to high carb/high fat/high whatever and adjust.

I just posted this in the carnivore thread, but it deserves a look here too. The title is misleading as it really is about foods as much as pharma. Very insightful and informative from some higher level guests.

Their book “good energy” is on my to-read list

Start by knowing a few things...

The health industry is just that - an industry. People make money off other people - so 50%+ of dr's are quacks. They push pills and get kickbacks or commissions.

There are a lot of dr's that sell their own line of "supplements" - that makes them a lot of money but of course, they formulate them for the best blends. There are 10,000+ diff multi vitamins... health industry.

There are ads everywhere for health care stuff and supplements. Most do little or nothing and we go from one fad to another. The latest seems to be chugging olive oil.

I know a bunch of folks who do "supplements" by the handful and even get to pay for the stuff my wife takes. I take 2 multi's a day 3-4 days a week. Those folks taking supplements are no healthier than me and I'm not healthier than them.

Richard Simmons - health guru died at 76 yrs old. If anyone was gonna live close to 100 yrs it shoulda been him and not Bob Barker.

Most old folks I know have died from falls & bonking their nugget. Last 3 or 4 anyway.

So - are dr's important - sure. Blood thinners and heart regulators are possibly the main reason why so many old folks are getting older. But to go to some homeopathic dr and take his brand of pills - eh.

Good luck on your journey.

Eat halfway decent, get regular sleep, and some exercise - go to dr annually to get blood tested - should be fine.

Ex healthcare. A wasted education to be a nurse….

Dr’s. don’t care to cure a disease. It’s disease management…

I am sure you can find this other than on X, but is a round table presentation "American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion" in a Senate committee. RFK Jr. just spoke about health, agency capture, conflicts, etc. For those who don't like him, there will be other speakers.

Quoted for truth

There is probably a little bit of crossover with their work and Dr. Zach Bush. But all these chemicals are killing everyone very slowly. Gut Microbiome is a determinate factor for every facet of health from mental to physical.

Plastics and chemical additives in food and ag. are a hard stop for me nowadays

Another must watch. It’s long, but it’s packed with info. This is a round table with those already mentioned above, Sen Johnson, and others.

Thanks for posting the replay. I was watching live, but missed a good bit. I personally hate the title of the replay, as IMHO "holistic" brings to mind someone who uses crystals and recommends plant-based diets, or that the panel doesn't include MDs including psychiatrists, etc. But that could just be one of my many "me problems." :cool:

Although I didn't see everything, Casey Means (~1:02 to 1:11:25 - not counting the Q&A) was pretty good (as was Chris Palmer). She ended (starting just before 1:10) with something along the lines of ~"this is so much more than a physical health care crisis. This is a spiritual crisis. We are choosing death over life. We are choosing darkness over light, for people and the planet, which are inextricably linked." She got a standing ovation.

You all want a real mind blower…..

Knowing now what you know, go on Netflix and watch the 2019 movie Dark Waters which is based on a very true story.

It’s not just the food where we are all being poisoned.

When you finish the movie you will never buy another product made by DuPont….

And, you’ll be further pissed at the EPA, DOJ, and other regulating agencies…

Our government is not run by elected officials. It’s captured and ran by lobbyist and corporations. Our best hope is somehow someway start completely over.
