[00:03.840 --> 00:08.240] I'm your host, Casey Ruff, and today we have another amazing guest to reintroduce you now. [00:08.240 --> 00:10.520] Dave Champion is a returning guest on our show. [00:10.520 --> 00:14.900] Be sure to check out his first appearance in episode 121 and his second appearance in [00:14.900 --> 00:17.920] episode 358 of Boundless Body Radio. [00:17.920 --> 00:21.240] Both of those episodes are some of my absolute favorite ever, so be sure to go check those [00:21.240 --> 00:23.880] out, 121 and 358. [00:23.880 --> 00:27.340] Dave Champion is a former Army Ranger with a law enforcement background. [00:27.340 --> 00:31.740] In the private sector, Dave is a businessman turned journalist, having hosted his own radio [00:31.740 --> 00:35.900] and television shows from the year 2000 through 2018. [00:35.900 --> 00:40.460] In addition to being a physiologist with a doctoral degree in political philosophy, [00:40.460 --> 00:42.980] Champion has an extensive background in legal studies. [00:42.980 --> 00:47.540] Dave has written the groundbreaking and widely claimed income tax, Shattering the Myths. [00:47.540 --> 00:51.940] His second book, Body Science, the new 21st century understanding of how your physiology [00:51.940 --> 00:52.940] really works. [00:52.940 --> 00:56.980] Leave the myths and lies behind, get healthier than you or your doctor ever imagined, and [00:56.980 --> 01:02.500] avoid chronic disease is the result of his research into core principles of human physiology, [01:02.500 --> 01:06.820] leading to a visionary understanding of how every person on the planet can get healthy, [01:06.820 --> 01:11.060] stay healthy, and reduce their odds of getting a diagnosis of chronic disease to virtually [01:11.060 --> 01:12.060] zero. [01:12.060 --> 01:14.780] It's one of my absolute favorite books on the subject, and we are thrilled to bring [01:14.780 --> 01:16.340] Dave back on to chat about it. [01:16.340 --> 01:18.620] Dave Champion, welcome back to Boundless Body Radio. [01:18.620 --> 01:19.620] Thanks, buddy. [01:19.620 --> 01:21.580] It's wonderful that you have me back again. [01:21.580 --> 01:22.580] I love it. [01:22.580 --> 01:23.580] Yeah. [01:23.580 --> 01:24.580] I'm so glad you're back. [01:24.580 --> 01:26.060] I've always had a great time chatting with you. [01:26.060 --> 01:30.540] Like I said in the introduction, 121 was an awesome episode all about cholesterol. [01:30.540 --> 01:32.380] We really made that the focus. [01:32.380 --> 01:35.700] The second episode we did, which is 358, was awesome. [01:35.700 --> 01:40.300] We took a look at ketosis and the term that you coined, glucose, which I absolutely love. [01:40.300 --> 01:43.700] We just went on a trip to Mexico and I was looking at my bookcase. [01:43.700 --> 01:47.580] I don't normally get a ton of time to read a whole lot, but there we had nothing to do [01:47.580 --> 01:48.580] but sit on the beach. [01:48.580 --> 01:51.520] And I was looking through all my books and trying to decide what I was going to take. [01:51.520 --> 01:56.280] And I chose Body Science again, which I've read for now the third time, read it cover [01:56.280 --> 01:57.600] to cover on the beach. [01:57.600 --> 01:58.600] It's awesome. [01:58.600 --> 01:59.600] I love it. [01:59.600 --> 02:00.600] It's a great book. [02:00.600 --> 02:01.600] Better for a third time. [02:01.600 --> 02:02.600] I love that. [02:02.600 --> 02:03.600] Thank you. [02:03.600 --> 02:05.080] Every time I read it, I get something new out of it. [02:05.080 --> 02:06.480] So I really, really appreciate that. [02:06.480 --> 02:10.140] So we're going to deep dive into some other parts of your book today that we maybe kind [02:10.140 --> 02:11.640] of brushed over in the other discussions. [02:11.640 --> 02:14.840] Like I said, I definitely recommend that people go back and check that out. [02:14.840 --> 02:20.480] Before we do, this tends to be our kind of annual welfare check, which is making sure [02:20.520 --> 02:22.080] that you're doing OK. [02:22.080 --> 02:23.800] Your heart hasn't exploded. [02:23.800 --> 02:28.280] Your scurvy hasn't gotten so much worse after all these years of doing carnivore. [02:28.280 --> 02:29.560] How are you doing? [02:29.560 --> 02:30.560] I am doing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. [02:30.560 --> 02:42.680] You know, I turned 64 a couple of months back, and with the exception of the fact that being [02:42.680 --> 02:48.660] an idiot during my early years in the gym, I completely trashed my shoulders. [02:48.660 --> 02:54.060] Other than that, I am more fit and correctly fit. [02:54.060 --> 02:56.820] And as a trainer, you know what I mean by that. [02:56.820 --> 03:00.780] You know, guys that go to the gym are not necessarily correctly fit. [03:00.780 --> 03:05.860] I am more correctly fit today than I've been at any point in my life. [03:05.860 --> 03:07.420] Yeah, that's amazing. [03:07.420 --> 03:11.300] How much of that do you attribute to your diet? [03:11.300 --> 03:15.620] 90 percent. [03:15.620 --> 03:16.620] 90 percent. [03:16.620 --> 03:18.260] Yeah, I've always been in the gym. [03:18.260 --> 03:28.060] I got home from the military in late October of 1984, and literally days later, I joined [03:28.060 --> 03:32.660] I don't think it exists anymore, Holiday Health Spa. [03:32.660 --> 03:38.940] So I've been going to the gym since late 1984, and I'm a five to seven day a week guy and [03:38.940 --> 03:44.100] have been for what is that, 36 years, something like that, 39 years. [03:44.100 --> 03:47.360] So I've always been a gym guy. [03:47.360 --> 03:52.860] But as I mentioned a moment ago, that didn't always make me a properly fit guy. [03:52.860 --> 04:00.500] But I don't know if we talked about this in either of the previous two chats we've had. [04:00.500 --> 04:12.340] Prior to my deciding to explore the concept of ketosis, I was insulin resistant and I [04:12.340 --> 04:13.980] didn't know it. [04:13.980 --> 04:23.860] Interestingly, I went to three separate doctors because I had these symptoms, and I couldn't [04:23.860 --> 04:27.260] figure out what was wrong with me. [04:27.260 --> 04:28.260] But I knew something was wrong. [04:28.260 --> 04:35.140] So I went to three separate doctors, and I gave them five symptoms, which are ironically [04:35.140 --> 04:41.580] the five primary symptoms of insulin resistance, which as you know is an epidemic in this country. [04:41.620 --> 04:47.220] And not one of them said, oh, you're insulin resistant. [04:47.220 --> 04:51.260] All three of them said, well, we really don't know what's wrong with you. [04:51.260 --> 04:58.260] Now, if you'd ask me a year, two years, three years, four years after that, I would have [04:58.260 --> 05:08.260] said it just speaks to the fact that although many people to some extent worship MDs, they're [05:08.300 --> 05:15.220] actually in reality when, let's say, here's their knowledge of human physiology, right? [05:15.220 --> 05:20.940] And as people's their own knowledge of human physiology increases, suddenly they realize [05:20.940 --> 05:28.660] that doctors are far less bright than the public generally gives them credit for. [05:28.660 --> 05:30.980] How's that for tactful? [05:30.980 --> 05:36.620] But if you would ask me today, why do I think they said, we don't know what's wrong with [05:36.660 --> 05:38.260] you? [05:38.260 --> 05:42.260] I would give you a more cynical answer today than I would have given you several years [05:42.260 --> 05:43.260] ago. [05:43.260 --> 05:51.820] And the cynical answer today is if they say, we don't know, they know what the next step [05:51.820 --> 05:57.900] is after insulin resistance, type two. [05:57.900 --> 06:02.500] And with type two comes a whole slew of other chronic diseases. [06:02.500 --> 06:03.500] Type two is the foundation. [06:03.980 --> 06:06.260] Well, actually, insulin resistance is the foundation. [06:06.260 --> 06:15.140] But as far as a real diagnosable chronic disease, type two is the foundation for all these other [06:15.140 --> 06:20.300] horrible chronic diseases from which the medical industry makes literally trillions of dollars [06:20.300 --> 06:21.380] a year. [06:21.380 --> 06:28.100] So my 2024 more cynical self says, I find it hard to believe that not one of the three [06:28.100 --> 06:32.780] recognize the five primary signs of insulin resistance when they said, oh, we don't know [06:32.780 --> 06:33.900] what's wrong with you. [06:33.900 --> 06:36.300] My more cynical self says they knew. [06:36.300 --> 06:42.300] But to solve the problem then would have deprived them of all the income that was to come. [06:42.300 --> 06:45.340] Like I said, my new more cynical self. [06:45.340 --> 06:46.460] It's such a good point. [06:46.460 --> 06:47.980] And I definitely want to talk about this today. [06:47.980 --> 06:52.740] The implications of the information in your book and some of your later chapters where [06:52.740 --> 06:56.420] you go into all of these different industries and all the trillions of dollars and square [06:56.420 --> 07:01.020] footage, even of grocery stores, like all of these things would change if people got [07:01.020 --> 07:02.980] the information that you write about. [07:02.980 --> 07:07.780] And we can sit here and pretty much say that even though here we are banging this drum [07:07.780 --> 07:11.740] as loudly as we can and trying to get this message out far and wide, we did. [07:11.740 --> 07:14.060] This information is not going to get out to everybody. [07:14.060 --> 07:18.700] Unfortunately, it's going to get maybe a very, very, very small minority of people, and it's [07:18.700 --> 07:23.660] going to remain suppressed because of that reason, because it makes so much money. [07:23.660 --> 07:27.580] I love the point that Nina Teichel's made when we interviewed her a few years ago when [07:27.580 --> 07:32.940] she said, like, what is what is the nicest, newest building anywhere around you? [07:32.940 --> 07:35.820] And it's always an addition to a hospital. [07:35.820 --> 07:36.820] It's an add on. [07:36.820 --> 07:37.980] It's an oncology center. [07:37.980 --> 07:41.220] It's always in the medical industry. [07:41.220 --> 07:42.220] That's where all the money is. [07:42.220 --> 07:44.540] And it's it's right in front of our faces. [07:44.540 --> 07:45.540] Absolutely. [07:45.540 --> 07:46.540] Absolutely. [07:46.540 --> 07:49.140] It's it's. [07:49.140 --> 07:52.340] And I think there's a large percentage of the American population that thinks that's [07:52.340 --> 07:59.460] great that we're taking care of our population. [07:59.460 --> 08:04.820] What they don't realize is that and I'm not damning any of these medical corporations [08:04.820 --> 08:07.660] for meeting a need, OK? [08:07.660 --> 08:12.620] If I would, if I was the CEO of Medical Corporation, I'd be meeting a need. [08:12.620 --> 08:15.060] The problem is the disinformation. [08:15.060 --> 08:20.660] And that's really coming out from the highest levels of the United States government, CDC, [08:20.660 --> 08:21.900] NIH. [08:21.940 --> 08:26.660] It's coming from Big Pharma, who they're the amount of money that they pump into media [08:26.660 --> 08:27.780] advertising. [08:27.780 --> 08:34.460] They control what the media is willing to say, because if they say the wrong thing, [08:34.460 --> 08:39.660] then companies such as Pfizer and others will yank their advertising money. [08:39.660 --> 08:44.660] Same thing with the processed food industry, which these days is the vast majority of all [08:44.660 --> 08:45.660] food. [08:45.660 --> 08:51.460] I mean, you walk through the grocery store aisles just as an exercise and you you determine [08:51.460 --> 08:57.500] what's processed and what's whole or natural, OK? [08:57.500 --> 09:01.940] And, you know, I don't know what the actual stats would be, but just thinking through [09:01.940 --> 09:09.980] as I walk through the grocery store, it's like 97% processed food and 3% whole or natural [09:09.980 --> 09:10.980] food. [09:10.980 --> 09:11.980] Easy. [09:11.980 --> 09:18.060] And so those companies, Big Pharma, Big Med and Big Food, hold tremendous sway over what [09:18.060 --> 09:20.260] the media says. [09:20.260 --> 09:22.300] And there is a narrative. [09:22.300 --> 09:28.820] And here's the part that challenges me that I don't understand. [09:28.820 --> 09:30.820] I get that money talks. [09:30.820 --> 09:31.820] What's that old adage? [09:31.820 --> 09:33.260] Money talks, bullshit walks. [09:33.260 --> 09:37.980] I get that. [09:37.980 --> 09:42.620] But the part I struggle with, because this is a free country, right, in theory, and we [09:42.620 --> 09:47.420] have free speech unless you're on like Facebook or YouTube. [09:47.420 --> 09:55.620] So the part I struggle with is that the disinformation, OK, it's not not disinformation. [09:55.620 --> 10:00.980] I want to call it malinformation because it's done with malice and intent. [10:00.980 --> 10:01.980] It's not. [10:01.980 --> 10:04.140] Well, I suppose it is disinformation. [10:04.140 --> 10:08.900] But even disinformation doesn't necessarily carry malice with it. [10:08.900 --> 10:13.220] OK, I think we're talking about here is malinformation. [10:13.220 --> 10:15.220] There is malice intended. [10:15.220 --> 10:18.400] It is intended. [10:18.400 --> 10:23.140] If you were to take the information that say Big Pharma, we'll just use them as an example, [10:23.140 --> 10:28.100] take the information that they put out on health, I'm going to guess somewhere in the [10:28.100 --> 10:30.540] range of 98 percent of that will make you sick. [10:30.540 --> 10:34.820] If you follow that advice, you'll be sick and you'll need their meds. [10:34.820 --> 10:41.860] And of course, that being sick generally leads to a person dying years or even decades earlier [10:42.420 --> 10:44.100] otherwise would be the case. [10:44.100 --> 10:47.620] And that's taking them away from their spouses, taking them away from their kids. [10:47.620 --> 10:53.020] If they're a business owner is jeopardizing the livelihoods of all the people who are [10:53.020 --> 10:54.020] played by them. [10:54.020 --> 10:55.020] And on and on we go. [10:55.020 --> 11:03.940] Just all of this, these horrible implications that are consequences that befall or flow [11:03.940 --> 11:07.580] from malinformation. [11:07.580 --> 11:09.460] They know it's a lie. [11:09.460 --> 11:14.660] They know they're making people sick to get money. [11:14.660 --> 11:16.860] And we don't seem to have this goes to your point. [11:16.860 --> 11:22.420] We don't seem to have a way for the message to break out. [11:22.420 --> 11:29.220] That's the part that's frustrating to me in a free country, that there appears to be no [11:29.220 --> 11:34.460] way for the message to actually break out and run. [11:34.460 --> 11:36.420] Yeah, absolutely. [11:36.420 --> 11:37.420] It's a great point. [11:37.660 --> 11:41.340] It's clear even in the latest Netflix documentary that just dropped. [11:41.340 --> 11:44.500] It's all about the twin study and they promote a vegan diet. [11:44.500 --> 11:46.140] And you see all these headlines. [11:46.140 --> 11:51.780] I'm having the worst, most unenviable position of having to watch it because my phone is [11:51.780 --> 11:52.780] blowing up. [11:52.780 --> 11:53.780] People are asking me about it. [11:53.780 --> 11:57.060] They're asking me about vegan diets and how they're so healthy and why I'm promoting like [11:57.060 --> 11:58.860] an all meat diet like you are. [11:58.860 --> 12:03.180] And so I have to watch this stuff and it's four episodes of 45 minutes each. [12:03.180 --> 12:05.180] And it's so convincing. [12:05.180 --> 12:09.180] And you don't you don't see behind the headlines where, you know, Christopher Gardner, whatever [12:09.180 --> 12:11.660] his name is, is getting funded by Beyond Meats. [12:11.660 --> 12:15.580] So, of course, they're putting people on fake processed meats that are terrible for the [12:15.580 --> 12:17.340] environment and terrible for our health. [12:17.340 --> 12:21.100] And promoting that is this shiny new amazing thing that everybody's going to watch and [12:21.100 --> 12:22.980] think like, yeah, this is great. [12:22.980 --> 12:25.460] Did you ever watch the documentary? [12:25.460 --> 12:26.460] What is it? [12:26.460 --> 12:27.460] Forks over knives? [12:27.460 --> 12:28.460] Yes. [12:28.460 --> 12:29.460] Okay. [12:29.460 --> 12:32.780] So I was more naive back then. [12:32.780 --> 12:35.620] So, you know, I had to do my follow up research. [12:35.620 --> 12:40.580] But when I watched that, I was like, oh, wow. [12:40.580 --> 12:43.420] But when I say more naive. [12:43.420 --> 12:50.060] The idea because that's not like big pharma, right, that that's not trillion dollar industries [12:50.060 --> 12:51.060] lying to you. [12:51.060 --> 12:54.220] It's just some guy making a documentary. [12:54.220 --> 12:56.860] So I had to go back into my research and you may remember from that. [12:56.860 --> 13:02.140] They talked about what happened with World War Two when the Nazis came in and took all [13:02.140 --> 13:07.620] the meat and in Europe and then suddenly cardiovascular disease and various other [13:07.620 --> 13:11.260] chronic diseases suddenly plunged, right? [13:11.260 --> 13:14.620] And that they only came back. [13:14.620 --> 13:22.660] They only made a resurgence in Western Europe after the end of World War Two, when various [13:22.660 --> 13:28.620] farming operations that involved animals are slaughtered for food. [13:28.660 --> 13:33.300] When those operations came back and began to grow back to their previous status, that's [13:33.300 --> 13:36.700] when heart disease came back to Europe. [13:36.700 --> 13:43.180] And what it really was, I mean, this was a lie by omission. [13:43.180 --> 13:50.100] What it really was is the Nazis seized all the grain and sugar along with the meat. [13:50.260 --> 13:59.100] But the producer and director of Knives Over Four, Forks Over Knives, they lied by omission. [13:59.100 --> 14:02.700] They didn't talk about the fact that Nazis seized all the grain. [14:02.700 --> 14:05.900] They didn't talk about the fact that Nazis seized all the sugar. [14:05.900 --> 14:07.220] They didn't talk about heart disease. [14:07.220 --> 14:14.460] The real reason heart disease came back when the economy came back is because sugar and [14:14.460 --> 14:16.140] grain came back. [14:16.140 --> 14:22.140] Now, you and I know this, but for the sake of the audience, there are, I don't know how [14:22.140 --> 14:25.260] many people there are out there who eat carnivore style. [14:25.260 --> 14:29.540] I'm going to guess at this time because it's a thing right now. [14:29.540 --> 14:32.140] I don't know if it'll continue and grow, but it's a thing right now. [14:32.140 --> 14:36.100] So there's, what, 334 million Americans here. [14:36.100 --> 14:40.620] So I'm going to go out on a limb and say maybe a million are carnivore right now. [14:40.620 --> 14:44.660] So if you look at the carnivore, and you know some of those people have been carnivore for [14:44.740 --> 14:50.380] decades, and the rest, the people who have taken on carnivore more recently, they're [14:50.380 --> 14:53.780] just getting on board belatedly, okay? [14:53.780 --> 14:57.620] And when you talk to people who have been carnivore for years, I would be an example [14:57.620 --> 15:03.860] of that, when you talk to people who have been carnivore for years, excuse me, you don't [15:03.860 --> 15:04.980] find any heart disease. [15:04.980 --> 15:06.540] You don't find any hypertension. [15:06.540 --> 15:08.260] You don't find any type 2 diabetes. [15:08.260 --> 15:13.300] You don't find any, just on heart, you just on and on and on. [15:13.300 --> 15:15.380] They're absolutely incredibly healthy. [15:15.380 --> 15:23.060] So now if we go back to forks over knives, clearly it was not eating meat. [15:23.060 --> 15:31.740] And the only other food source that people consumed a fair amount of in Europe post World [15:31.740 --> 15:35.920] War II were grains and sugar. [15:35.920 --> 15:40.860] So if we know from our carnivore experience, if we could take meat out of the picture, [15:40.860 --> 15:42.700] what's left? [15:42.700 --> 15:45.700] The grains and the sugars. [15:45.700 --> 15:47.500] Yeah. [15:47.500 --> 15:53.700] I have a lot of animosity towards people like the producer and director of forks over knives. [15:53.700 --> 16:00.380] And what was that one where they were focusing on high performing athletes? [16:00.380 --> 16:01.780] Game changers. [16:01.780 --> 16:04.780] Game changer. [16:04.780 --> 16:13.420] You know, I know that they're pushing more of a personal agenda, but they're really no [16:13.420 --> 16:20.700] different than Big Pharma, Big Med and Big Food, because they're lying, willfully, knowingly [16:20.700 --> 16:28.500] and intentionally lying to people to get people to follow what they do or what they want. [16:28.500 --> 16:35.500] There is no way to review the evidence on the nutritional distinctions between vegetarian [16:35.500 --> 16:37.140] or vegan. [16:37.140 --> 16:41.380] And the person doesn't have to be carnivore, let's just say that they have a diet that's [16:41.380 --> 16:46.260] low carb and high on meats. [16:46.260 --> 16:57.700] The nutritional data looked at objectively is so crystal clear that either they are complete [16:58.380 --> 17:01.860] idiots, which I don't believe. [17:01.860 --> 17:05.500] Or they're knowingly, willfully and intentionally lying to people simply to influence people [17:05.500 --> 17:08.980] to do what they think is the right thing. [17:08.980 --> 17:13.140] And you've probably talked to people who were vegan. [17:13.140 --> 17:15.220] Yeah, absolutely. [17:15.220 --> 17:20.420] Just reading a comment somebody said to me this morning that they had been vegan for [17:20.420 --> 17:24.380] years and they eventually went, they attempted to go. [17:24.420 --> 17:31.620] The story is he attempted to go vegetarian keto that and he said, you know, during his [17:31.620 --> 17:34.940] time in vegan, his health was going down, down, down, down, down. [17:34.940 --> 17:44.060] So when he shifted into vegetarian based keto, his continued on that trajectory. [17:44.060 --> 17:49.980] And then when he went carnivore, who turned around, he says at 47 years old, he's the [17:49.980 --> 17:53.740] healthiest he's ever been in his entire life and all he eats is meat. [17:53.900 --> 17:56.380] And that's, you know, that's a universal story. [17:58.380 --> 18:01.660] So how can these other guys not know this? [18:01.660 --> 18:03.500] They do know they know. [18:04.460 --> 18:07.980] I love that you make such a strong point of that in the book. [18:07.980 --> 18:11.820] It's like, you know, you're way smarter than I am. [18:12.380 --> 18:16.940] Me and my feeble brain could sit down and have a sink and say, like, OK, if I were to [18:16.940 --> 18:22.780] design a study, I guess you could get a group of carnivores and a group of vegans or vegetarians [18:22.780 --> 18:25.020] and compare them on several different things. [18:25.020 --> 18:28.220] Just make sure that the people on carnivore are eating an animal based diet. [18:28.860 --> 18:30.860] That would be fairly easy to do. [18:30.860 --> 18:36.220] And why hasn't anybody accidentally kind of done that study is for exactly the point you [18:36.220 --> 18:39.180] make. It's like they know they know what the outcome would be. [18:39.180 --> 18:40.220] They will not touch it. [18:40.220 --> 18:41.260] They don't fund it. [18:41.260 --> 18:45.500] The studies that we see that are being done on things like LDL cholesterol that Dave Feldman [18:45.500 --> 18:47.980] is doing, those are funded by us in the community. [18:48.220 --> 18:54.380] He has to go out and get citizens to fund his research because this will not be covered [18:54.380 --> 18:56.380] by the people who do the studies. [18:56.380 --> 18:57.340] I wonder why. [18:57.340 --> 18:59.180] Gee, it's because they already know. [19:00.220 --> 19:05.580] When I, you know, the study that Dave Feldman released, the preliminary results wasn't about [19:05.580 --> 19:06.620] two or three weeks ago. [19:06.620 --> 19:07.120] Right. [19:07.580 --> 19:11.980] Comparing lean mass hyper responders to the Miami heart study. [19:11.980 --> 19:12.480] OK. [19:13.180 --> 19:15.420] I'm not going to go into that unless you choose to. [19:15.420 --> 19:21.100] But I did a relatively brief video where I talked about that because I want people to [19:21.100 --> 19:31.580] understand that that is the first cannon shot to utterly destroy the false establishment [19:31.580 --> 19:36.140] narrative about cholesterol that's been in existence for 60 years now. [19:36.140 --> 19:40.060] And I was very clear that the study has its limitations. [19:40.540 --> 19:46.380] It nobody should believe their cholesterol numbers are irrelevant at this point [19:47.500 --> 19:48.780] because people are in glucose. [19:48.780 --> 19:49.660] That's a whole different story. [19:51.100 --> 19:56.380] But I know Dave has more studies pending that he intends to do. [19:56.380 --> 19:59.500] And this is this made sense as the first one. [19:59.500 --> 20:00.000] OK. [20:03.260 --> 20:05.260] But you brought this up. [20:05.980 --> 20:09.900] We live in a country where I mean, how much money do you think [20:09.980 --> 20:15.420] has been spent on cholesterol research by the establishment in the last 50 years? [20:16.220 --> 20:18.780] Would it be fair to say billions, tens of billions? [20:19.340 --> 20:20.620] Billions, trillions of the T. [20:22.060 --> 20:22.560] OK. [20:25.260 --> 20:30.460] And yet to do the kind of research that you would want, that I would want, [20:30.460 --> 20:36.620] Dave Feldman is actively pursuing in the wealthiest country in the world. [20:37.820 --> 20:39.660] That research has to be crowdfunded. [20:40.620 --> 20:47.740] Because the establishment won't fund it because they already know what the results will be. [20:48.460 --> 20:49.180] And it will. [20:49.820 --> 20:53.820] You were talking about this a little bit ago with the grocery stores and the square funds [20:53.820 --> 20:58.380] and the economic upheaval that would occur if everybody learned the truth. [21:01.420 --> 21:04.300] Everybody's got their fingers in the financial. [21:04.300 --> 21:04.700] I'm sorry. [21:04.700 --> 21:07.820] All the big players that can fund the kind of research that Dave is doing [21:07.820 --> 21:09.980] all have their financial fingers in the pie. [21:10.700 --> 21:11.200] OK. [21:11.580 --> 21:14.140] So none of them are willing to do the research. [21:15.580 --> 21:19.340] You take a look at Big Pharma, I'm just I'm going to this is a hypothetical number, [21:19.340 --> 21:26.380] but I'm going to guess if all 334 million Americans switch to carnivore today, [21:27.580 --> 21:33.180] by this day next year, Big Pharma's profits would probably be down 80%. [21:33.180 --> 21:37.740] Big meds profits would probably be down more than that. [21:39.580 --> 21:43.420] Instead of whining about the cost of an office visit, which I understand it's high right now [21:43.420 --> 21:45.980] because doctors are in high demand because everybody's sick, right? [21:46.700 --> 21:51.820] But if all 334 million Americans were to adopt carnivore in a year from now, [21:51.820 --> 21:54.380] you could probably do an office visit with your doctor for 30 bucks. [21:56.220 --> 21:59.900] Because the doctor would be like, I need to accept 30 bucks or I need to go find another job. [22:00.860 --> 22:02.620] There's not enough patients anymore. [22:02.620 --> 22:03.120] That's right. [22:04.080 --> 22:05.120] Yeah, that's right. [22:05.120 --> 22:05.600] Yeah. [22:05.600 --> 22:08.080] So kudos to you for getting the word out. [22:08.080 --> 22:09.680] Dave Feldman for doing what he's doing. [22:11.280 --> 22:12.320] We're making progress. [22:12.320 --> 22:16.800] I just I'm frustrated that it's like molasses in winter. [22:17.760 --> 22:18.480] Yeah, I know. [22:18.480 --> 22:18.880] I know. [22:18.880 --> 22:22.560] Like sitting in low carb Denver last year when Dave Feldman is revealing some of that [22:22.560 --> 22:27.360] preliminary data on the study and the room is like dead silent. [22:27.360 --> 22:28.400] You can hear a pin drop. [22:28.480 --> 22:34.400] Everybody gasp when they see the numbers that could finally like show that there's no real [22:34.400 --> 22:37.040] causal connection between LDL cholesterol and heart attacks. [22:37.040 --> 22:38.960] And the room is sold it up and energize. [22:38.960 --> 22:42.720] You go back out in the real world and you're like, oh, yeah, it's all kind of the same. [22:44.000 --> 22:45.840] This conference room is really excited about this, [22:45.840 --> 22:49.120] but none of these other people are going to understand this information. [22:49.120 --> 22:50.480] So it's rough. [22:50.480 --> 22:54.000] And kudos to you for writing the book. [22:54.000 --> 22:58.160] One thing you do so well is explain the difference between ketosis and glucose. [22:58.160 --> 23:00.480] We deep dive into this in our last episode. [23:00.480 --> 23:03.360] But I think it's fair to go to since you've already talked about the diet. [23:03.360 --> 23:04.960] You talked about meat and carnivore. [23:04.960 --> 23:06.960] You've talked about grain, seeds and sugars. [23:06.960 --> 23:11.920] Can you talk about the two hemispheres, as you call them, how humans use energy? [23:12.480 --> 23:12.980] Sure. [23:13.600 --> 23:19.520] So what Casey's referring to when he says two hemispheres is there's only two ways that the [23:20.160 --> 23:22.480] human body can fuel its cells. [23:23.360 --> 23:26.000] One way is through glucose. [23:26.000 --> 23:29.520] And that's where the cells actually they burn glucose. [23:29.520 --> 23:31.040] They go through the ATP cycle. [23:31.920 --> 23:34.320] And that's what produces cellular energy. [23:34.320 --> 23:44.480] And it is presumed in modern times without one has to completely dismiss [23:45.840 --> 23:48.000] nutritional anthropology to make this statement. [23:48.000 --> 23:56.960] But in our modern scientific times, burning glucose is considered the way you fuel cells. [23:56.960 --> 23:58.080] It's the only way. [23:58.080 --> 23:59.760] It's always been the only way. [23:59.760 --> 24:01.840] And that's a completely idiotic statement. [24:01.840 --> 24:05.040] But that's 99.9% of the world believes that. [24:06.480 --> 24:11.360] And I'm not going to get into what that actually is. [24:11.360 --> 24:12.640] Maybe in a bit we'll get to that. [24:13.760 --> 24:17.440] But one case you said there's two hemispheres is because there's only two different ways to [24:17.440 --> 24:18.400] fuel. There's no third. [24:19.040 --> 24:24.400] And the alternative to fueling cells with glucose is to fuel the cells [24:24.400 --> 24:28.560] with predominantly fatty acids and to a lesser extent ketones. [24:29.280 --> 24:36.640] And that is what everybody's heard of the keto diet and everybody's heard of carnivore. [24:36.640 --> 24:42.000] But I'm not sure that everybody understands that the only purpose for eating that way really, [24:42.000 --> 24:44.640] I mean, because who doesn't love the taste of a donut? [24:44.640 --> 24:45.140] Okay. [24:45.780 --> 24:50.980] The only reason when the people that eat keto style or carnivore style [24:50.980 --> 24:53.380] is to get into this thing called ketosis. [24:54.500 --> 24:56.820] That's where the magic happens. [24:57.380 --> 25:02.900] We eat keto style or carnivore style to get there and stay there. [25:02.900 --> 25:04.980] The magic isn't carnivore per se. [25:04.980 --> 25:07.140] The magic isn't keto per se. [25:07.140 --> 25:15.060] The magic is the physiological state of ketosis where all 100 trillion cells of our body [25:15.380 --> 25:20.580] are rejecting glucose as an energy source and are now burning primarily fatty acids [25:20.580 --> 25:22.020] into a lesser extent ketones. [25:22.020 --> 25:28.260] Now, when I started putting together all the information I wanted to share with people [25:28.260 --> 25:37.620] in body science, I was surprised to find that this hemisphere where your body, [25:37.620 --> 25:42.660] your cells burn glucose for energy did not have a name. [25:43.620 --> 25:45.780] What's that old adage? [25:45.780 --> 25:47.780] The last thing a fish would notice is water. [25:50.980 --> 25:58.500] The world was so entrenched in this thing that cells burn glucose. [25:58.500 --> 25:59.460] That's what they do. [25:59.460 --> 26:00.420] They've always done. [26:00.420 --> 26:01.700] They always will do. [26:01.700 --> 26:02.980] It's the way. [26:03.700 --> 26:09.300] People were so ingrained in that that it didn't even have a name. [26:09.300 --> 26:10.340] It was just that's normal. [26:11.300 --> 26:17.540] You have normal and ketosis, which is totally absurd. [26:18.180 --> 26:21.060] I actually had to find a name and I thought the appropriate [26:22.980 --> 26:29.620] way to characterize if burning ketones is ketosis, then burning glucose should probably be [26:29.620 --> 26:30.340] glucose. [26:30.340 --> 26:37.460] And so I gave it that name because if you can't call something by its name, [26:37.540 --> 26:40.580] it becomes difficult to have a discussion about it. [26:41.460 --> 26:47.300] So ketosis was coined in 1921. [26:47.300 --> 26:51.700] So that word's been around ages, more than 100 years. [26:53.220 --> 26:57.300] But it was so odd to me that this other hemisphere, of which there's only two, [26:58.820 --> 27:00.260] didn't have a name. [27:00.260 --> 27:01.300] That's just crazy. [27:01.300 --> 27:06.980] And again, the more cynical side of me wonders if there aren't reasons for that, [27:06.980 --> 27:08.980] such as I know we're going to get into it a little bit. [27:08.980 --> 27:13.140] The hepatic lipid system, the lipid lipid system, they had no names. [27:13.140 --> 27:14.580] How do you talk about them without a name? [27:15.700 --> 27:17.220] Yeah, yeah. [27:17.220 --> 27:22.740] So the point I think I want to make when we're talking about glucose versus ketosis. [27:25.380 --> 27:31.540] Anthropologically speaking, hominids for millions of years existed from birth to death [27:32.500 --> 27:33.620] in ketosis. [27:34.580 --> 27:38.020] Glucose was unknown to ancient man. [27:39.860 --> 27:46.580] And that only began to change, not even really with the first agricultural revolution, because [27:48.020 --> 27:49.460] that still wasn't very widespread. [27:50.740 --> 27:54.900] That only really started to change with the second agricultural revolution, when [27:57.060 --> 28:02.180] things like grains became plentiful for the masses. [28:02.180 --> 28:06.900] And you probably know from reading history, you go back, say, to the dark ages just to put a pin [28:06.900 --> 28:07.620] on the timeline. [28:10.100 --> 28:17.700] Meat was the food of royalty, and grain was the food of peasants. [28:18.900 --> 28:20.980] And it still is today. [28:21.620 --> 28:27.780] The problem is now, over the last, I don't know, several, several decades, [28:28.740 --> 28:35.460] the government has convinced the American people that eating grains and sugar, [28:35.460 --> 28:38.020] that's the sign of a successful economy. [28:38.020 --> 28:39.700] And you've made it in life. [28:39.700 --> 28:42.820] If you could have pasta all the time, it's just absolute nonsense. [28:42.820 --> 28:44.820] Yeah, yeah, no. [28:44.820 --> 28:45.060] Okay. [28:45.060 --> 28:46.580] So that's super well explained. [28:46.580 --> 28:47.780] Glucose and ketosis. [28:47.780 --> 28:52.260] You've already said that the state of ketosis, we would be in that state pretty much our entire [28:52.260 --> 28:52.660] lives. [28:52.660 --> 28:58.580] If we ever exited that state into a state of glucose, it would have been exceedingly rare. [28:58.580 --> 29:04.980] You would have to find a high amount of carbohydrate-rich food, which doesn't just [29:04.980 --> 29:06.020] pop up everywhere. [29:06.020 --> 29:08.420] Even if you get some fruit, fruit has changed. [29:08.420 --> 29:09.220] It's very different. [29:09.220 --> 29:12.900] The grains we use are very different than what you would have found in the past. [29:12.900 --> 29:14.660] You think about things like nuts and seeds. [29:14.660 --> 29:15.780] They were all protected. [29:15.780 --> 29:20.100] You couldn't eat whole bags of shelled almonds that you can get at the store now. [29:20.100 --> 29:23.620] It's just a completely different landscape that people don't understand. [29:23.620 --> 29:29.700] And so let's do talk a little bit about the lymphatic lipid system and the hepatic lipid [29:29.700 --> 29:31.220] system and how those two things are different. [29:31.220 --> 29:34.980] Which one is the normal natural state of delivering energy to the body? [29:34.980 --> 29:36.580] Which one is the emergency state? [29:37.220 --> 29:37.460] Okay. [29:39.620 --> 29:42.020] Let's start with the lipid system. [29:43.460 --> 29:49.860] And the reason for that is in ketosis, that's a huge part of the healthy functioning of [29:49.860 --> 29:50.980] the body. [29:50.980 --> 29:56.900] And so what happens when we eat dietary fat? [29:57.540 --> 29:59.620] Dietary fat does not digest. [30:01.060 --> 30:02.020] It emulsifies. [30:02.740 --> 30:09.540] And so it gets into our bowels and it gets emulsified, but it can't transit the intestinal [30:09.540 --> 30:10.660] wall and go into our body. [30:12.900 --> 30:17.700] It has to be packaged unlike carbohydrate-rich protein. [30:17.780 --> 30:20.180] It has to be packaged in these things called collimicrons. [30:20.980 --> 30:27.060] Only when it's packaged in these collimicrons, which are incredibly similar to LDL as far [30:27.060 --> 30:28.020] as their structure. [30:30.020 --> 30:32.340] The analogy I use is they're a delivery truck. [30:32.340 --> 30:34.100] I use the analogy in body science. [30:34.100 --> 30:37.700] A delivery truck that delivers its content throughout the body. [30:38.820 --> 30:43.700] And the primary difference between LDL and collimicrons is collimicrons [30:44.420 --> 30:51.940] used for structure APO-B48 and LDL uses APO-B100. [30:51.940 --> 30:55.860] That's pretty much the only difference as far as structure is concerned. [30:55.860 --> 30:58.580] So the emulsified fat goes into these collimicrons. [30:58.580 --> 31:00.740] They can then transit the intestinal wall. [31:01.380 --> 31:02.500] Here's the difference. [31:02.500 --> 31:05.300] This is why I call it the lymphatic lipid system. [31:06.100 --> 31:16.180] Those fats contained within those collimicrons, they are carried by the lymph fluid through [31:16.180 --> 31:17.460] the lymphatic system. [31:18.260 --> 31:24.100] They come up, they curve here, and then they come down and they're dumped into, [31:24.100 --> 31:27.940] through the thoracic duct, they're dumped into our bloodstream. [31:29.060 --> 31:33.060] And then they go all through our body. [31:34.020 --> 31:41.780] And again, the delivery truck perspective, they have to offload these fatty acids, [31:41.780 --> 31:47.300] which fatty acids, triglycerides, same name, two different names for the same substance. [31:48.100 --> 31:50.980] So they're carrying these fatty acids or triglycerides. [31:50.980 --> 31:53.860] And here's one of the things that I think is so cool about the body. [31:53.860 --> 31:58.900] The collimicrons come along and here's an HDL particle, here's a collimicron particle. [31:58.900 --> 32:07.460] And as they cross, the HDL particle gives its APOC2 to the collimicron, [32:07.460 --> 32:09.220] which was what they call a naive collimicron. [32:09.860 --> 32:16.820] And once it receives that APOC2, it unlocks the cargo doors. [32:17.700 --> 32:24.580] Until then, it cannot dislodge its triglycerides, it cannot offload them to the cells. [32:24.580 --> 32:28.580] So it meets an HDL, it transfers the APOC2. [32:28.580 --> 32:32.340] Then the collimicron goes throughout the body, hooking up with cells. [32:32.340 --> 32:34.100] Oh, there's your loading dock, hook up. [32:34.100 --> 32:36.020] Here's some triglycerides, move on. [32:36.020 --> 32:37.140] Here's some triglycerides. [32:38.020 --> 32:44.180] And then at the end, after the triglycerides are gone, it passes another HDL [32:44.180 --> 32:47.620] and it gives the APOC2 back to the HDL. [32:47.620 --> 32:50.420] It locks the doors, the cargo doors. [32:51.060 --> 32:55.140] And only when those cargo doors are locked, it doesn't possess the APOC2. [32:55.140 --> 33:03.940] Can it go back to the liver and be broken down and synthesized into something else? [33:05.780 --> 33:10.100] So that, I think, is a pretty fascinating tale. [33:10.100 --> 33:13.060] And people who are eating carnivore, as an example, [33:14.500 --> 33:18.340] they're getting probably 99% of their calories from proteins and fats. [33:19.060 --> 33:24.660] So just for the sake of this illustration, we say 50-50, 50% fat, 50% protein. [33:24.660 --> 33:32.020] Then 50% of their total nutritional intake energizes the cells [33:32.020 --> 33:33.700] by the process we just talked about. [33:35.380 --> 33:36.340] It's so elegant. [33:37.540 --> 33:38.100] It is. [33:38.820 --> 33:39.940] It's just amazing. [33:40.660 --> 33:44.100] Yeah, you list the pros and cons of how each one of these systems work. [33:44.100 --> 33:46.340] And this one, it just delivers energy. [33:46.340 --> 33:47.620] It's in a clean way. [33:47.620 --> 33:49.300] Everything gets recycled afterwards. [33:49.300 --> 33:50.180] Your cells are happy. [33:50.180 --> 33:51.300] They burn fat for fuel. [33:51.300 --> 33:53.380] It's just, it makes so much sense. [33:53.380 --> 33:54.980] So this is the preferred way. [33:54.980 --> 33:57.780] Now, let's talk about the hepatic lipid system [33:57.780 --> 34:00.660] and how that differs from this system when we eat things [34:00.660 --> 34:02.900] like the grains and sugars that you mentioned earlier. [34:02.900 --> 34:05.700] Okay, so for your audience who may not know, [34:05.700 --> 34:09.540] hepatic just means bearing upon or dealing with the liver. [34:09.540 --> 34:16.500] So you could call it the liver lipid system if you wanted, [34:16.500 --> 34:19.220] but I think more properly the hepatic lipid system. [34:19.300 --> 34:22.020] So the interesting thing is that both of these [34:22.020 --> 34:27.300] send triglycerides out in a structure, in a lipoprotein. [34:29.060 --> 34:32.100] When it's the lymphatic lipid system, it's the chlamycaron. [34:32.100 --> 34:36.660] When it's the hepatic lipid system, it starts out as VLDLs, [34:36.660 --> 34:38.580] then goes to IDLs, and then goes to LDL, [34:39.460 --> 34:42.420] which I said are very, very similar in their structure. [34:42.420 --> 34:46.100] They are all cargo vessels distributing various things, [34:46.100 --> 34:50.580] cholesterol, vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, and so forth. [34:52.580 --> 34:54.100] But here's what happens. [34:54.100 --> 34:59.620] We eat things that are carbohydrates. [35:00.580 --> 35:02.420] We don't need to qualify what kind of carbohydrates. [35:02.420 --> 35:04.100] By the way, for your audience who may not know, [35:04.660 --> 35:07.140] every single carbohydrate, whether it's a piece of pasta, [35:07.140 --> 35:10.740] whether it's grain, a piece of bread, [35:10.740 --> 35:12.420] or whether it's some broccoli, [35:13.140 --> 35:16.900] 100% of anything that is a carbohydrate [35:17.700 --> 35:19.540] breaks down to something called a monosaccharide, [35:19.540 --> 35:21.540] which is the basic level of sugar. [35:21.540 --> 35:24.820] When it can't be glycated any further, it becomes a monosaccharide. [35:25.780 --> 35:31.220] Only monosaccharides can transit the intestinal wall. [35:31.220 --> 35:32.900] So no matter what a person eats, like, [35:32.900 --> 35:34.580] oh, I'm going to eat this piece of bread, [35:34.580 --> 35:36.340] or I'm going to eat this baked potato, [35:36.340 --> 35:38.020] or I'm going to have this piece of candy. [35:38.660 --> 35:40.900] Whatever they stick in their mouth, it's a carbohydrate. [35:41.620 --> 35:43.700] It goes down into the intestines, [35:44.500 --> 35:50.020] and the part that transits the intestinal wall is sugar. [35:51.380 --> 35:52.500] It's a monosaccharide. [35:55.380 --> 35:56.420] And here's an interesting thing. [35:56.420 --> 35:58.500] When it's in the intestines, it's a monosaccharide. [35:58.500 --> 36:00.420] The minute it transits the intestinal wall, [36:01.140 --> 36:04.180] now science calls it glucose, blood glucose. [36:04.820 --> 36:05.300] Same thing. [36:06.180 --> 36:07.380] So here's an interesting thing. [36:07.380 --> 36:10.260] We talked about the fact that the color microns [36:10.260 --> 36:11.780] flow into the lymphatic system. [36:11.780 --> 36:18.340] Well, the monosaccharides don't do that. [36:19.540 --> 36:21.060] They go through the portal vein, [36:21.060 --> 36:23.780] directly from the intestines, right into the liver. [36:28.740 --> 36:31.060] Obviously, I think all of your listeners would know [36:31.060 --> 36:32.580] if you eat a high carbohydrate meal, [36:32.580 --> 36:35.060] it's going to raise your blood glucose level. [36:36.100 --> 36:38.340] I'm sure you've covered that a million times [36:38.340 --> 36:40.500] talking on various aspects of physiology. [36:43.220 --> 36:45.140] I don't know if your audience understands [36:45.140 --> 36:49.300] that high levels of blood glucose in and of itself is toxic. [36:50.740 --> 36:56.100] And then the body's response in order to ratchet the glucose [36:56.100 --> 36:57.940] back down to something akin to baseline [36:58.900 --> 37:00.900] is for the pancreas to pump out insulin. [37:02.740 --> 37:03.780] Insulin is toxic. [37:04.500 --> 37:07.940] Now, in a glucose world, what I just said, [37:07.940 --> 37:11.140] if we were talking to some college professor [37:11.140 --> 37:15.220] who accepts the nonsense society-wide narrative, [37:15.780 --> 37:18.900] they would say, saying high glucose and high insulin [37:18.900 --> 37:21.700] are toxic is nonsense, but the studies show they are. [37:23.060 --> 37:26.500] But when you believe that glucose is the only way to exist, [37:26.500 --> 37:28.100] kind of hard to knock it, right? [37:30.260 --> 37:31.620] It's part of your whole paradigm. [37:31.620 --> 37:32.900] So how can it be wrong? [37:32.900 --> 37:37.620] So what happens is when the insulin goes up, [37:39.060 --> 37:40.980] now, I think most people understand [37:40.980 --> 37:44.740] that when insulin increases, blood glucose goes down. [37:44.740 --> 37:47.860] That's the purpose of insulin in regard to blood sugar. [37:48.500 --> 37:50.420] Insulin goes up, the blood sugar comes down. [37:51.540 --> 37:53.460] I think that's as far as people understand. [37:53.460 --> 37:56.980] If you ask them, how does the blood sugar go down, [37:57.780 --> 37:59.300] they don't know the mechanism. [37:59.860 --> 38:01.860] Well, the mechanism is the insulin [38:01.860 --> 38:05.860] signals the liver to gather up this glucose [38:05.860 --> 38:09.220] as the blood is flowing through the liver, [38:09.220 --> 38:10.260] which is a blood organ, [38:11.300 --> 38:15.220] and then the liver extracts the excess glucose, [38:15.220 --> 38:18.900] again, trying to force that down back to baseline, okay? [38:20.420 --> 38:22.980] And it converts the glucose to triglycerides. [38:24.020 --> 38:27.620] Now, remember, over on the lymphatic lipid system, [38:27.620 --> 38:29.780] triglycerides are good, right? [38:29.780 --> 38:30.820] We want them. [38:30.820 --> 38:32.500] But this isn't the same kind of thing. [38:33.460 --> 38:36.580] This is a conversion as an emergency mechanism [38:37.220 --> 38:39.940] to get the toxic glucose out of the blood. [38:41.300 --> 38:48.340] So then it packages up these synthesized triglycerides. [38:48.340 --> 38:49.140] They're not natural. [38:49.140 --> 38:50.660] They are synthesized. [38:50.660 --> 38:52.660] I guess they're natural in the sense that the liver does it, [38:52.660 --> 38:53.940] but the liver doesn't want to do it. [38:53.940 --> 38:55.060] The liver has to do it. [38:55.300 --> 38:55.800] Okay. [38:56.500 --> 38:58.500] Packages them up in VLDLs [38:59.860 --> 39:01.460] and spits them out into the bloodstream. [39:01.460 --> 39:07.140] Now, the cells already have triglycerides [39:08.100 --> 39:11.060] from what the lymphatic lipid system does, right? [39:12.180 --> 39:13.300] This is not an either or. [39:13.300 --> 39:15.940] The lymphatic lipid system is always operating, okay? [39:16.500 --> 39:20.980] So the triglycerides are already in the cells, okay? [39:21.860 --> 39:25.940] And then along comes these VLDLs or IDLs [39:26.740 --> 39:30.100] that have this synthesized triglycerides. [39:30.980 --> 39:34.340] And they say, hey, man, open up. [39:34.340 --> 39:35.780] We got some triglycerides. [39:36.500 --> 39:39.860] And the cells are like, dude, we are triglyceride out. [39:41.860 --> 39:42.900] We can't make any... [39:43.540 --> 39:45.060] First, you bombed us with glucose, [39:45.060 --> 39:47.460] so we had to take some glucose in and oxidize, [39:47.460 --> 39:49.060] burn that shit off, right? [39:49.060 --> 39:52.340] Now you're coming back with these synthesized triglycerides [39:52.340 --> 39:54.420] trying to shove triglycerides into us. [39:55.780 --> 39:56.420] We're packed. [39:56.420 --> 39:57.300] We can't take any. [39:58.100 --> 39:58.900] Now, here's the thing. [40:03.380 --> 40:07.380] These lipid proteins, they get smaller [40:07.380 --> 40:09.700] as they offload their cargo, okay? [40:09.700 --> 40:10.980] Some of them are carrying things. [40:11.780 --> 40:14.020] Some carry cholesterol and other things. [40:14.020 --> 40:17.140] So as they get smaller, smaller, smaller. [40:17.140 --> 40:19.860] But what's still in there is the triglycerides [40:20.580 --> 40:23.140] because the cells don't want any, okay? [40:23.140 --> 40:25.140] Now, or the cells are full, [40:25.140 --> 40:26.740] is maybe a better way to put that. [40:28.020 --> 40:33.220] And so the LDL cannot return to the liver [40:34.980 --> 40:38.500] until those triglycerides are offloaded, okay? [40:39.460 --> 40:43.780] So what it does, it's got to put the triglycerides somewhere [40:44.340 --> 40:47.540] that puts it into the adipose tissue. [40:47.540 --> 40:52.340] This is most commonly understood to be like the belly fat [40:52.340 --> 40:53.700] and the love handles. [40:54.660 --> 40:57.300] There's more adipose fatty cells in the body, [40:57.300 --> 40:58.820] but the ones most people understand [40:58.820 --> 41:00.020] when they hear adipose tissue, [41:00.820 --> 41:02.340] when you see the guy at the grocery store [41:02.340 --> 41:04.100] with the gut that's hanging out over his belt, [41:04.100 --> 41:05.540] that's adipose tissue, okay? [41:06.180 --> 41:12.420] And by the time we are, estimates vary, [41:12.420 --> 41:15.060] but we'll say approaching puberty. [41:16.100 --> 41:17.860] Our body has created all the fat cells [41:17.860 --> 41:18.660] it's ever going to have. [41:19.540 --> 41:21.460] It doesn't create more fat cells. [41:21.460 --> 41:24.260] So what happens is these LDLs come along and say, [41:24.260 --> 41:26.820] we have to offload these triglycerides [41:26.820 --> 41:28.340] or we can't go back to the liver [41:28.980 --> 41:32.100] and be uptaken into the liver and broken down. [41:32.900 --> 41:34.180] We have to do something. [41:34.180 --> 41:37.140] Well, the body's emergency mechanism is here. [41:37.140 --> 41:39.220] Shove it into the adipose cells, okay? [41:40.260 --> 41:41.700] And that's exactly what happens. [41:41.700 --> 41:46.740] Now, the thing is in the Western diet, right? [41:47.460 --> 41:49.940] All day long, high glucose, high insulin, [41:49.940 --> 41:51.300] high glucose, high insulin, [41:51.300 --> 41:52.900] high glucose, high insulin, right? [41:54.020 --> 41:56.180] Insulin tells the adipose tissue, [41:56.820 --> 41:59.380] do not release triglycerides. [42:00.900 --> 42:04.020] So you've got the LDLs offloading their triglycerides [42:04.020 --> 42:05.220] into the adipose cells [42:05.220 --> 42:08.260] and then the constant repetition of high insulin [42:08.260 --> 42:10.340] is telling them, lock that shit up. [42:10.340 --> 42:12.580] Do not release it, okay? [42:12.580 --> 42:14.020] So what happens after 20 years? [42:16.180 --> 42:17.220] Obesity, right? [42:19.220 --> 42:27.140] So the problem is we talk about LDL in the bloodstream. [42:27.140 --> 42:29.220] You know, that's a big thing with doctors, right? [42:29.860 --> 42:30.820] They call it the cholesterol, [42:30.820 --> 42:32.340] but it's not really the cholesterol, right? [42:33.060 --> 42:34.740] How much cholesterol is in your blood [42:34.740 --> 42:38.500] is an equation by which they estimate. [42:38.580 --> 42:40.180] And that's based on how many LDL [42:40.180 --> 42:41.620] are still floating around your blood, right? [42:42.180 --> 42:44.020] And the reason there are so many LDLs [42:44.020 --> 42:45.780] floating around the blood is two reasons. [42:45.780 --> 42:47.780] First of all, all those VLDLs [42:47.780 --> 42:50.100] that were spit out with converted triglycerides [42:50.100 --> 42:52.260] don't belong there in the human body, okay? [42:52.260 --> 42:53.620] So it's flooded with things [42:53.620 --> 42:55.300] that don't belong there in the first place. [42:55.300 --> 42:57.780] And secondly, by the time they decrease in density [42:57.780 --> 43:00.020] to the point where they're the small LDL particles, [43:01.060 --> 43:03.220] they still need to go through these extra steps [43:03.220 --> 43:04.340] to find adipose cells [43:04.340 --> 43:06.820] and force the triglycerides out of themselves [43:06.820 --> 43:09.700] before they can return to the liver and be uptaken, okay? [43:10.260 --> 43:14.340] So when somebody says, oh, you have high LDL, [43:15.060 --> 43:18.180] yeah, that's because they just keep floating around [43:18.820 --> 43:21.060] trying to find a way to get back to the liver [43:21.060 --> 43:23.220] to be uptaken and broken down [43:23.220 --> 43:26.820] and synthesized and other things are excreted as waste. [43:29.140 --> 43:30.660] I don't know if I explained that clearly. [43:30.660 --> 43:31.620] I know I rambled a bit. [43:31.620 --> 43:33.940] Yes, no, it's perfect. [43:33.940 --> 43:39.060] Yeah, so one, the lymphatic lipid system [43:39.060 --> 43:40.020] is completely healthy. [43:40.820 --> 43:42.980] That's the way man has existed for millions of years. [43:43.780 --> 43:49.060] The hepatic lipid system has always been [43:49.060 --> 43:52.340] an emergency glucose clearance system. [43:54.020 --> 43:57.380] It's meant to be, you say, ancient man, say 50,000 years ago. [43:58.820 --> 44:03.140] Perhaps the hepatic lipid system would kick in [44:03.220 --> 44:06.260] a couple times a year for a couple hours at a time. [44:08.340 --> 44:12.900] Modern Americans rely on that emergency clearance method, [44:12.900 --> 44:19.780] the hepatic lipid system, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, [44:19.780 --> 44:23.540] and eventually they wear the body's capacity [44:23.540 --> 44:26.420] out to cope effectively and voila, [44:26.420 --> 44:28.500] you have type two diabetes, you have heart disease, [44:28.500 --> 44:31.620] you have hypertension, you just, yeah, on and on. [44:32.260 --> 44:35.540] Yeah, okay, so that part really stuck out to me [44:35.540 --> 44:36.740] this time reading the book. [44:36.740 --> 44:39.460] Like, yes, this is an emergency system. [44:40.020 --> 44:43.700] I don't give it enough credit for how well it works [44:43.700 --> 44:44.660] in that situation. [44:45.220 --> 44:47.380] You describe everything when it happens once, [44:47.380 --> 44:49.460] you're like, holy smokes, that's not great. [44:49.460 --> 44:51.060] I don't want that to happen ever. [44:51.060 --> 44:54.660] But then to think that it is working for so many people [44:54.660 --> 44:57.620] for so long, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, [44:57.700 --> 45:00.180] it can still stay alive. [45:00.180 --> 45:04.500] It's so amazing how even that emergency system [45:04.500 --> 45:06.500] is working so hard to keep somebody alive [45:06.500 --> 45:09.380] and doesn't break down so much faster than that. [45:09.380 --> 45:10.180] It blows my mind. [45:10.180 --> 45:11.060] Yeah, yeah. [45:11.060 --> 45:14.180] Now, you know that there's this thing, [45:14.180 --> 45:16.740] we've seen it all over the media over the last, [45:16.740 --> 45:17.940] I don't know, handful of years. [45:18.980 --> 45:21.860] This and such disease is hitting people at younger ages [45:21.860 --> 45:23.300] and scientists don't know why. [45:24.020 --> 45:25.540] I'm so sick of the scientists don't know why [45:25.540 --> 45:26.740] because it's all bullshit. [45:26.740 --> 45:27.620] They do know why. [45:29.060 --> 45:30.260] But it goes back to this thing, [45:30.260 --> 45:33.060] it would disrupt the revenue so they don't tell you why. [45:35.220 --> 45:41.780] What's really happening is younger generations [45:42.820 --> 45:46.580] are eating progressively more and more carbohydrates [45:46.580 --> 45:48.580] and more and more processed foods [45:49.460 --> 45:52.420] and more and more high glycemic carbs, [45:52.420 --> 45:54.580] carbs with higher glycemic loads. [45:55.540 --> 45:57.380] And they're doing it at an earlier age. [45:59.060 --> 46:03.300] When I was eight, I ate what my parents fed me. [46:05.060 --> 46:06.100] Kids that are eight today, [46:06.660 --> 46:08.660] they got their own money, they got their own phone. [46:09.860 --> 46:11.860] They want to go to the store and buy a pack of, [46:12.740 --> 46:16.020] I don't know, candy or donuts or whatever [46:16.020 --> 46:16.980] and woof it down. [46:17.780 --> 46:19.060] It's a different world. [46:19.060 --> 46:21.780] And so what's happening is this cycle [46:21.780 --> 46:23.780] that eventually leads to breakdown and disease, [46:24.580 --> 46:26.820] that cycle is beginning earlier. [46:28.020 --> 46:32.500] And one of the things that they found in Africa, [46:32.500 --> 46:34.100] they being various researchers, [46:34.820 --> 46:39.780] that when the Brits came into certain parts of Africa [46:41.060 --> 46:48.740] and certain tribes were more urban by those standards, [46:48.740 --> 46:50.660] we're talking about 150, 200 years ago, [46:50.660 --> 46:52.980] were more urban and then there was the far rural [46:54.420 --> 46:58.740] the tribes that adopted Western eating style, [46:58.740 --> 46:59.860] which those days would have been called [46:59.860 --> 47:00.900] British eating styles. [47:01.940 --> 47:06.020] The more urban population that adopted that eating style, [47:06.020 --> 47:08.900] it was about 20 to 25 years [47:08.900 --> 47:11.620] before they started manifesting chronic disease. [47:13.540 --> 47:16.340] And the tribes that were rural [47:16.340 --> 47:18.580] and didn't partake in the British style of eating, [47:18.580 --> 47:20.660] they didn't develop chronic diseases. [47:20.660 --> 47:21.860] So it was all about the diet. [47:22.500 --> 47:24.260] But there's the point being there seems to be [47:27.620 --> 47:33.300] a back end limit on how long the body can keep it up. [47:34.100 --> 47:36.580] And it appears to be about 20 or 25 years. [47:36.580 --> 47:38.180] So somebody like me, [47:38.180 --> 47:40.820] I probably didn't start eating the way I wanted to [47:41.380 --> 47:43.380] until maybe I got home from the military [47:43.380 --> 47:44.900] and was making some good money [47:44.900 --> 47:45.940] and going out and partying [47:45.940 --> 47:47.380] and eating whatever shit I wanted [47:47.380 --> 47:48.900] because it made me feel good at the time. [47:48.900 --> 47:52.260] So my clock started ticking about then. [47:53.700 --> 47:55.060] But if I'm right, [47:55.060 --> 47:57.860] the kids today are more autonomous [47:57.860 --> 47:59.860] from their parents than kids of my generation. [48:00.900 --> 48:02.420] If I'm right about that, [48:02.420 --> 48:04.740] then their clock is starting [48:04.740 --> 48:08.180] maybe 15 years earlier than mine. [48:08.180 --> 48:09.140] That would mean they're hitting [48:09.140 --> 48:12.740] that 20 or 25 year back end limit sooner. [48:13.860 --> 48:16.420] And hence they're winding up with these diseases [48:16.420 --> 48:17.780] and then science is saying, [48:17.780 --> 48:18.660] we don't know why. [48:19.860 --> 48:20.500] We don't know. [48:20.500 --> 48:21.140] We have no idea. [48:21.940 --> 48:22.440] Yeah. [48:25.780 --> 48:27.780] You and I spoke briefly the other day, [48:29.300 --> 48:31.140] but this goes back to we don't know why. [48:31.780 --> 48:37.220] And your comment was the increase in type 1 diabetes, [48:40.420 --> 48:42.500] which is not driven by diet. [48:42.500 --> 48:45.300] It's driven by genetics, at least partially. [48:48.500 --> 48:50.980] And again, those headlines say, [48:52.500 --> 48:54.900] and science doesn't know why, [48:56.100 --> 48:57.380] and that's a lie too. [48:57.380 --> 49:00.420] They know exactly why type 1 diabetes is increasing. [49:00.420 --> 49:02.020] And that has nothing to do with what you're eating. [49:03.140 --> 49:04.660] We talked about this ever so briefly. [49:06.820 --> 49:10.820] Prior to 1921 when synthetic insulin was made, [49:12.180 --> 49:15.060] a person who was type 1 diabetic died, period. [49:15.860 --> 49:16.580] No question. [49:16.580 --> 49:19.860] 100% of the people with type 1 diabetes died, [49:19.860 --> 49:21.620] at least that we know of in Western society. [49:22.660 --> 49:25.700] There's no reason to believe anybody survived type 1 diabetes. [49:30.020 --> 49:33.860] So what happened was whatever causes [49:33.860 --> 49:36.420] the genetic predisposition to type 1 diabetes, [49:37.940 --> 49:43.380] unless the person had later onset of type 1, [49:43.940 --> 49:45.700] so they were able to have some kids first. [49:46.340 --> 49:49.140] Short of that, and most of type 1 onsets [49:49.140 --> 49:50.980] when you're a child, prepubescent. [49:52.260 --> 49:55.060] So what was happening was people who had [49:55.060 --> 49:57.860] whatever the genetic predisposition is to type 1, [49:58.420 --> 50:00.900] they'd manifest the type 1, they'd die. [50:02.740 --> 50:07.380] So that genetic lineage didn't carry on through society. [50:08.420 --> 50:11.380] So okay, here's a genetic problem. [50:11.380 --> 50:12.420] Well, you're gone. [50:12.420 --> 50:14.020] Genetic problem, you're gone. [50:14.820 --> 50:16.340] That lineage didn't grow. [50:17.140 --> 50:20.900] So as of 1921 with the synthetic insulin, [50:23.140 --> 50:27.300] humans with type 1 diabetes started living full lives. [50:28.180 --> 50:32.660] And all of them that wanted to get married and have kids did, [50:34.180 --> 50:36.100] and still are, right? [50:36.100 --> 50:38.900] And in some many cases, they're passing [50:38.900 --> 50:41.460] that genetic predisposition on to their children. [50:42.020 --> 50:44.260] So of course, if we look at any population, [50:44.260 --> 50:46.180] we start mating, you see the pyramid, [50:47.140 --> 50:48.900] here's the patient X, so to speak, [50:48.900 --> 50:51.140] and then here we go, right? [50:51.140 --> 50:56.180] So it's very clear because they used to die, [50:56.180 --> 50:57.540] so the lineage stopped. [50:57.540 --> 51:00.660] Now they live, the lineage grows exponentially [51:00.660 --> 51:02.180] as far as how many human beings [51:02.180 --> 51:03.940] have those genetic predispositions. [51:03.940 --> 51:05.540] It's not a mystery. [51:05.540 --> 51:07.620] But you will literally see headlines, [51:07.620 --> 51:10.180] I'm motioning to my computer like you can see it. [51:11.060 --> 51:14.180] They literally see headlines that say, [51:14.180 --> 51:15.780] and science doesn't understand why. [51:16.820 --> 51:18.500] They don't understand why people have diabetes. [51:18.500 --> 51:20.100] They don't understand why people are getting [51:20.820 --> 51:22.660] various chronic diseases in an earlier age. [51:22.660 --> 51:24.260] They don't understand why Alzheimer's [51:24.260 --> 51:26.180] is striking people at an earlier age and on and on. [51:26.180 --> 51:27.540] They don't understand. [51:27.540 --> 51:29.300] And that's all bullshit. [51:30.100 --> 51:30.980] Yeah, yeah. [51:30.980 --> 51:31.620] Well, okay. [51:31.620 --> 51:34.420] Well, I just started listening to Gary Taub's new book, [51:34.420 --> 51:35.700] Rethinking Diabetes. [51:35.700 --> 51:36.980] He deep dives into a lot of this. [51:36.980 --> 51:39.940] I told you offline, the numbers to me were staggering. [51:39.940 --> 51:40.900] They were way more than I thought. [51:40.900 --> 51:46.100] That since 2001, cases of type 1 diabetes [51:46.100 --> 51:47.380] have risen by 50%. [51:47.380 --> 51:49.300] That's a huge number in my opinion. [51:49.300 --> 51:52.340] And what you're explaining explains that perfectly, right? [51:52.340 --> 51:55.380] Like we're allowing this lineage to continue [51:55.380 --> 51:57.300] and so more and more people are gonna get it. [51:57.300 --> 51:59.700] And it was interesting going back to those times [51:59.700 --> 52:02.020] as he's describing like they knew [52:02.020 --> 52:03.220] that diet was a component [52:03.220 --> 52:06.180] and they were trying to get people to eat more protein [52:06.180 --> 52:06.660] and more fat. [52:06.660 --> 52:09.060] But then when we developed insulin, [52:10.100 --> 52:12.020] all of a sudden people wanted the insulin [52:12.020 --> 52:13.060] and they wanted that treatments [52:13.060 --> 52:16.180] and doctors didn't have to mess with the kerfuffle [52:16.180 --> 52:17.860] of trying to change people's diets. [52:17.860 --> 52:20.020] It was just so much easier to give them the insulin [52:20.020 --> 52:22.100] and let them eat whatever they wanted. [52:22.100 --> 52:24.740] And so we kind of lost that knowledge [52:24.740 --> 52:26.260] and that information. [52:26.260 --> 52:29.460] And you wrote an entire chapter on type 1 diabetes, [52:29.460 --> 52:30.500] which is fascinating. [52:30.500 --> 52:31.860] It's towards the very end. [52:32.500 --> 52:33.620] Is it a bonus chapter? [52:33.620 --> 52:35.380] Is that how we should say it? [52:35.380 --> 52:35.700] It is. [52:36.900 --> 52:38.420] Because it's a hypothesis, [52:38.420 --> 52:40.900] I didn't even number it as a chapter [52:40.900 --> 52:43.220] because I wanted all the numbered chapters to be factual. [52:44.420 --> 52:48.820] And the insulin intolerance hypothesis isn't fact. [52:50.100 --> 52:51.540] It's my hypothesis. [52:51.540 --> 52:53.300] Do you want me to explain to the audience what it is? [52:55.140 --> 52:56.820] Yes, absolutely. [52:56.820 --> 52:58.580] And you gave a great analogy [52:58.580 --> 52:59.940] of being in a room with a killer [52:59.940 --> 53:01.380] that I thought explained it really well. [53:01.380 --> 53:02.900] So maybe we could tie that in as well. [53:02.900 --> 53:03.700] Sure, okay. [53:03.700 --> 53:07.780] So the basic premise of the insulin intolerance hypothesis [53:08.500 --> 53:11.780] is that what brings on type 1, [53:11.780 --> 53:13.540] and by the way, that's what [53:13.540 --> 53:16.420] the insulin intolerance hypothesis deals with, [53:16.420 --> 53:20.100] is how to avoid the onset of type 1 diabetes, right? [53:20.100 --> 53:22.420] Because it's considered that we don't know [53:23.300 --> 53:24.580] how to stop the onset. [53:25.380 --> 53:27.060] If you have the predisposition, [53:28.340 --> 53:31.300] then you're probably going to get type 1, okay? [53:31.300 --> 53:34.740] So the question is, is there a way to stop that? [53:34.740 --> 53:39.140] And so my insulin intolerance hypothesis speaks to that. [53:39.140 --> 53:40.500] And basically it says this. [53:41.060 --> 53:43.140] We all know what an autoimmune disease is, yes? [53:43.140 --> 53:47.140] So the body sees something as harmful [53:47.140 --> 53:50.020] and it overreacts to simplify the process. [53:50.020 --> 53:52.580] And that overreaction by the body [53:52.580 --> 53:56.660] causes detrimental impacts on the person's physiology. [53:56.660 --> 53:59.060] And they have some sort of illness or disease [53:59.060 --> 54:01.140] or unwellness, okay? [54:01.140 --> 54:02.660] So that's autoimmune. [54:02.660 --> 54:06.340] So many people have speculated [54:06.340 --> 54:08.820] that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune response, [54:09.380 --> 54:12.180] but no one's addressed what exactly it is [54:12.180 --> 54:13.940] or talked about, well, you know, okay, [54:13.940 --> 54:15.460] so we're calling it autoimmune. [54:16.020 --> 54:17.620] What is that pathway? [54:17.620 --> 54:19.140] What's the mechanism of that? [54:19.140 --> 54:22.260] So my belief is this. [54:25.460 --> 54:28.580] Our bodies know instinctively. [54:29.380 --> 54:32.740] I talk about the body's native intelligence [54:32.740 --> 54:34.900] absent what's up here, okay? [54:34.900 --> 54:36.660] In body science, I talk about that a little bit. [54:38.660 --> 54:39.700] High insulin is bad. [54:40.340 --> 54:41.460] High glucose is bad. [54:42.740 --> 54:45.380] Now, because the body knows [54:46.100 --> 54:48.420] that high glucose and high insulin are toxic, [54:49.940 --> 54:52.820] imagine if there is a particular person [54:52.820 --> 54:56.500] whose genetics and the way, [54:56.580 --> 54:59.380] what triggers their genetic expression, okay, [55:00.660 --> 55:06.740] is that high insulin isn't just seen as an oh shit, okay? [55:07.460 --> 55:09.700] High insulin is seen as, [55:09.700 --> 55:13.220] oh my God, you're killing me, okay? [55:14.020 --> 55:16.100] Far more dramatic response [55:16.100 --> 55:19.540] than the other 99% of the people on the planet, right? [55:20.500 --> 55:24.100] That one person, their body freaks out [55:24.100 --> 55:26.260] and they have an autoimmune response, [55:26.980 --> 55:28.980] an autoimmune disease response. [55:29.940 --> 55:35.620] So what their body does is so hypersensitive to high insulin, [55:35.620 --> 55:37.540] it's so fearful of the high insulin [55:38.500 --> 55:41.860] that it goes and it attacks the cells [55:41.860 --> 55:44.180] in the pancreas that create insulin. [55:44.180 --> 55:46.420] That's its way of surviving. [55:46.420 --> 55:48.660] It perceives high insulin as such a threat [55:49.460 --> 55:51.140] that it says we know how to stop this [55:51.140 --> 55:53.300] and it goes after the cells in the pancreas [55:53.300 --> 55:55.700] to produce the insulin and kill them, okay? [55:56.420 --> 55:58.660] The person ends up, they can't produce any more insulin [55:58.660 --> 56:01.220] or very, very limited supply of insulin [56:01.220 --> 56:03.380] and prior to 1921, they die [56:03.380 --> 56:06.100] because blood glucose just continues to rise [56:06.100 --> 56:10.020] and there's no mechanism left in place to bring it down, okay? [56:11.460 --> 56:14.820] So the question is, if there is this crazy, [56:14.820 --> 56:17.540] over the top autoimmune response [56:17.540 --> 56:22.420] that kills the insulin producing cells in the pancreas [56:23.220 --> 56:25.380] and that is a disease of its own, [56:27.380 --> 56:29.380] is there a way, you've probably heard [56:29.380 --> 56:31.060] of epigenetics, the word, okay? [56:32.020 --> 56:33.140] I dislike using that word [56:33.140 --> 56:34.820] because people have read so much into it [56:34.820 --> 56:37.780] that doesn't belong within the confines of epigenetics. [56:37.780 --> 56:41.300] But for the limited purpose of this discussion, [56:42.020 --> 56:43.140] epigenetics would mean [56:43.140 --> 56:48.100] how we're triggering our genes to express various things [56:48.100 --> 56:51.540] that then have a cascade that lead to an outcome, okay? [56:52.180 --> 56:57.380] So if the body panics over insulin, [56:59.860 --> 57:02.420] how would we perhaps stop the body [57:02.420 --> 57:05.220] from ever having that panic attack, okay? [57:06.180 --> 57:08.260] And we're not talking about this kind of panic attack. [57:08.340 --> 57:10.180] And we're not talking about this kind of panic attack. [57:12.340 --> 57:13.700] A physiological panic attack. [57:13.700 --> 57:15.940] How do we stop the body from doing that? [57:15.940 --> 57:18.500] Well, one suggestion might be [57:18.500 --> 57:22.980] we don't allow it to increase insulin from baseline, okay? [57:23.540 --> 57:26.180] Now, insulin doesn't just bring blood glucose down. [57:26.180 --> 57:27.300] It does a couple of other things. [57:27.300 --> 57:29.940] So we can't eradicate insulin from the body [57:30.660 --> 57:34.820] but we can keep it at baseline, which in type ones, [57:34.820 --> 57:37.700] I've seen no evidence that insulin at baseline [57:37.700 --> 57:39.620] causes any adverse response, okay? [57:40.660 --> 57:43.380] It's the increase in insulin [57:43.380 --> 57:45.860] that seems to trigger the onset of type one, [57:46.740 --> 57:49.380] the repetitive increase in insulin. [57:51.540 --> 57:55.380] So my concept was this. [57:55.380 --> 57:57.060] In the analogy to what you're referring, [57:57.060 --> 57:58.660] I said, imagine you're locked in a room [57:59.300 --> 58:01.220] with a psychotic killer [58:01.780 --> 58:07.460] and this psychotic killer is covered in knives, in sheaths, okay? [58:07.700 --> 58:09.540] And you've got nothing, okay? [58:09.540 --> 58:12.580] He's got like 50 knives on his person and you got nothing. [58:12.580 --> 58:15.220] And he's a known psychotic killer, yeah? [58:16.100 --> 58:18.900] But you find out he's only triggered [58:18.900 --> 58:20.500] into becoming a psychotic killer [58:21.860 --> 58:24.340] when he hears loud music, [58:25.140 --> 58:28.100] which is analogous to high insulin, right? [58:29.700 --> 58:31.300] So there's a stereo in the room. [58:32.740 --> 58:35.700] And so what's that expression? [58:35.700 --> 58:36.900] Walk around and find out, right? [58:37.300 --> 58:41.220] So you go over and you turn the music on [58:42.500 --> 58:45.380] and our psychotic killers in the corner like this [58:46.900 --> 58:48.500] doesn't react, okay? [58:51.220 --> 58:54.740] Huh, turn up the volume on the music a little bit more. [58:56.340 --> 58:57.140] Doesn't react. [59:00.020 --> 59:02.020] Turn up the music a little bit more [59:02.020 --> 59:03.460] and the psychotic killer goes, [59:03.460 --> 59:05.300] I got my eye on you, right? [59:05.300 --> 59:09.700] So if you keep screwing around with the volume knob, [59:10.500 --> 59:12.020] increasing the volume, [59:13.140 --> 59:16.260] at some point you're going to trigger the psychosis. [59:16.260 --> 59:18.100] He's going to come out with these knives [59:18.740 --> 59:19.700] and he's going to kill you. [59:19.700 --> 59:21.700] And by the time you reach that moment, [59:21.700 --> 59:23.460] you can't undo that. [59:23.460 --> 59:26.820] You can't turn the volume back down and it's all good, okay? [59:27.540 --> 59:30.340] So that is analogous to the high insulin. [59:30.340 --> 59:34.180] So that is analogous to the high insulin, okay? [59:34.180 --> 59:38.100] By the time you keep doing this again and again and again [59:38.100 --> 59:41.140] with the insulin and the psychotic killer, [59:41.140 --> 59:44.740] which is the autoimmune response killing off the beta cells [59:44.740 --> 59:46.820] in the pancreas to produce the insulin, [59:46.820 --> 59:50.100] by the time that happens, you can't reverse it. [59:50.100 --> 59:51.380] You can't turn the volume down. [59:51.380 --> 59:52.740] You can't make it go away. [59:52.740 --> 59:53.860] You've screwed yourself. [59:53.860 --> 59:56.500] You're done because you kept turning the damn music up, [59:56.500 --> 59:58.180] which is analogous to high insulin. [59:59.140 --> 01:00:01.060] For these people who genetically, [01:00:01.060 --> 01:00:03.540] their bodies panic at high insulin. [01:00:03.540 --> 01:00:04.820] That's the hypothesis. [01:00:05.620 --> 01:00:09.380] Now, when we were offline chatting a bit ago, [01:00:10.660 --> 01:00:12.900] I mentioned that, [01:00:15.700 --> 01:00:16.980] presuming I am correct, [01:00:18.420 --> 01:00:21.860] the insulin intolerance hypothesis is factual, [01:00:22.740 --> 01:00:25.540] I will never live to see it [01:00:26.500 --> 01:00:32.340] because type 1 diabetes almost always onsets at an earlier age. [01:00:32.340 --> 01:00:33.620] Most of it's in childhood. [01:00:33.620 --> 01:00:35.220] It used to be called childhood diabetes [01:00:35.220 --> 01:00:36.660] before it was called type 1, okay? [01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:42.580] It's very rare for the onset to occur after 35 or 40, okay? [01:00:42.580 --> 01:00:43.620] Very rare. [01:00:43.620 --> 01:00:45.300] It's kind of like if you got there, it's like, [01:00:45.300 --> 01:00:48.900] oh, I'm genetically predisposed, but it didn't happen, okay? [01:00:49.620 --> 01:00:52.420] So for this to happen, [01:00:52.420 --> 01:00:58.260] we'd need to select a lot, first of all, families [01:00:58.260 --> 01:01:00.820] that had a predisposition to type 1 genetically, [01:01:02.020 --> 01:01:03.540] and then they would have to agree [01:01:03.540 --> 01:01:07.220] to keep their children in ketosis forever, [01:01:07.940 --> 01:01:09.300] forever being measured, of course, [01:01:09.300 --> 01:01:12.580] by the time the child develops a will and a mind of its own, [01:01:12.580 --> 01:01:14.740] and then it would have to take over that responsibility [01:01:14.740 --> 01:01:16.820] for remaining in ketosis, okay? [01:01:16.820 --> 01:01:17.380] So I don't know. [01:01:17.380 --> 01:01:18.980] I'm going to throw out some arbitrary numbers. [01:01:19.060 --> 01:01:24.020] If that study kicked off with 10,000 participants, [01:01:25.940 --> 01:01:28.580] by the time they all reached 35 or 40, [01:01:29.140 --> 01:01:31.300] you'd probably be left with several hundred [01:01:31.300 --> 01:01:33.140] that actually towed the line [01:01:33.140 --> 01:01:37.300] in stating ketosis every single day for all those years. [01:01:37.860 --> 01:01:39.140] But here's the thing. [01:01:40.740 --> 01:01:47.860] That's that ever-shrinking cohort at the 35 or 40 year mark, [01:01:48.660 --> 01:01:52.900] if none of those, those who had stuck in ketosis [01:01:52.900 --> 01:01:55.940] their whole life, if none of them had developed type 1, [01:01:56.740 --> 01:02:03.700] I think that would be a very strong indicator [01:02:04.820 --> 01:02:07.700] that the insulin intolerance hypothesis is factual [01:02:08.260 --> 01:02:11.940] and that type 1 does not have to occur in anyone ever. [01:02:12.740 --> 01:02:14.980] Now, I'm not going to say 100% of the people [01:02:14.980 --> 01:02:19.780] who are predisposed could avoid it via ketosis. [01:02:19.780 --> 01:02:20.740] I'm not going to say 100%. [01:02:21.700 --> 01:02:23.220] But if you could reduce those, [01:02:26.420 --> 01:02:28.580] you could reduce the onset [01:02:29.300 --> 01:02:32.340] in 99% of the people with the predisposition, [01:02:32.980 --> 01:02:34.980] you could make sure they didn't onset. [01:02:36.900 --> 01:02:38.020] How wonderful would that be? [01:02:39.620 --> 01:02:42.100] Now, what are the odds that research is ever going to happen? [01:02:42.100 --> 01:02:43.860] Well, zero, I'm pretty sure. [01:02:43.860 --> 01:02:44.580] Of course, yeah. [01:02:45.380 --> 01:02:50.500] And of course, big pharma makes billions of year off of insulin. [01:02:51.380 --> 01:02:54.260] So why would they, you know, sort of being crowdfunded. [01:02:55.140 --> 01:02:57.380] And of course, a study with that sort of longevity, [01:02:58.020 --> 01:03:00.180] 35, 40 years would be insanely expensive. [01:03:01.220 --> 01:03:05.300] And only the big players could fund something like that and keep track. [01:03:06.020 --> 01:03:09.060] And they have their fingers in the financial pie. [01:03:09.780 --> 01:03:11.380] They're the ones making billions. [01:03:11.380 --> 01:03:12.900] So it's never going to happen. [01:03:12.900 --> 01:03:18.020] But I would encourage people if somebody has type 1 diabetes, [01:03:18.020 --> 01:03:21.060] they know their parents did or their grandparents, [01:03:21.060 --> 01:03:24.580] they've got type 1, they know it's genetic lineage in their family, [01:03:24.580 --> 01:03:25.700] and they're going to have kids. [01:03:28.820 --> 01:03:31.460] You may be saving your child from type 1 [01:03:32.180 --> 01:03:36.260] by keeping that child in ketosis as long as the child is willing to stay in ketosis. [01:03:36.260 --> 01:03:39.460] Now, some parents are going to be, so what? [01:03:39.460 --> 01:03:40.420] We have insulin. [01:03:40.420 --> 01:03:41.060] Why would I care? [01:03:41.060 --> 01:03:43.460] What do you do about that? [01:03:43.460 --> 01:03:44.660] Yeah. Yeah. [01:03:44.660 --> 01:03:48.100] It's going to be tough, but that was such a great explanation. [01:03:48.100 --> 01:03:52.980] And we know what low carbohydrates do to people that have type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [01:03:52.980 --> 01:03:56.260] They typically do not have the same kind of symptoms. [01:03:56.260 --> 01:03:58.100] It's the, what do they call it? [01:03:58.100 --> 01:04:01.940] The law of small numbers, the law of small averages or whatever, [01:04:01.940 --> 01:04:04.100] where if you're keeping your blood sugar low, [01:04:04.100 --> 01:04:08.020] any insulin that you may need will be far, far less anyway. [01:04:08.020 --> 01:04:10.740] And so you can manage it so much better. [01:04:10.740 --> 01:04:13.140] We know that with people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [01:04:13.140 --> 01:04:14.900] And so I love the hypothesis. [01:04:14.900 --> 01:04:19.060] It's probably going to have to remain a hypothesis for those reasons that you listed. [01:04:19.060 --> 01:04:22.180] And I want to come back around to that one last time. [01:04:22.180 --> 01:04:26.180] The chapter that you wrote called A Brave New World that talks about the numbers [01:04:26.180 --> 01:04:31.540] and the money and all of the implications from everything that we've talked about today, [01:04:31.540 --> 01:04:33.060] everything you've written about in body science. [01:04:33.700 --> 01:04:38.420] One more time, what happens if all of a sudden like this, [01:04:39.060 --> 01:04:42.100] a bunch of people got your book, a bunch of people read your book. [01:04:42.100 --> 01:04:44.340] They decided to do whatever they like for their diet, [01:04:44.340 --> 01:04:48.980] which meant whatever for them to stay in ketosis is something they chose. [01:04:48.980 --> 01:04:50.580] What would happen economically? [01:04:51.220 --> 01:04:56.180] Okay. So first of all, for the, to make this illustration crystal clear, [01:04:56.180 --> 01:04:58.020] I don't want it to be muddy or murky in any way. [01:04:58.740 --> 01:05:02.260] We're going to say 100% of the people in the United States switched into ketosis. [01:05:02.260 --> 01:05:06.500] Okay. Because then we don't have to argue about percentages and whatnot. [01:05:06.500 --> 01:05:10.100] Okay. So if everybody switched into ketosis, [01:05:15.060 --> 01:05:21.620] first of all, first consequence, the processed food industry would cease to exist. [01:05:23.460 --> 01:05:29.060] I don't know how many trillions of dollars the processed food industry makes in the United States. [01:05:29.620 --> 01:05:33.220] I don't know how many people are employed by the processed food industry. [01:05:33.220 --> 01:05:35.140] And of course, we know how economics work. [01:05:35.140 --> 01:05:38.820] It's not just the factories that are spitting out the food. [01:05:38.820 --> 01:05:42.100] It's all the companies from which they source materials and the employees. [01:05:43.540 --> 01:05:50.820] Just the economic devastation, and I don't mean devastation in a negative sense [01:05:50.820 --> 01:05:57.300] in this story we're telling, would be dramatic. [01:05:59.460 --> 01:06:03.300] Because literally all these processed food companies [01:06:03.300 --> 01:06:09.540] would be out of business within, as long as their bank accounts could hold out, [01:06:09.540 --> 01:06:11.780] whether a year, two years, three years, and they're done. [01:06:12.420 --> 01:06:14.340] Because virtually nobody would be buying their food. [01:06:16.180 --> 01:06:18.180] Grocery stores, you mentioned that a little bit earlier. [01:06:19.220 --> 01:06:25.140] Grocery stores, we talked about the fact that probably 90%, 90 plus percent of what they're [01:06:25.140 --> 01:06:30.100] selling is some form of processed food versus something that's a whole food. [01:06:31.060 --> 01:06:37.140] So now, if people stopped eating processed food, they still need to get calories. [01:06:37.140 --> 01:06:41.620] So if somebody was consuming 2,500 calories a day of highly processed food, [01:06:41.620 --> 01:06:45.940] or they still need 2,500 calories a day to survive or someplace in that range, [01:06:45.940 --> 01:06:49.380] they just have to find another food source, which would be things like meat. [01:06:51.540 --> 01:06:54.420] But of course, meat is much more calorically dense than the stuff that's [01:06:55.380 --> 01:06:57.540] coming out of the processed food industry, right? [01:06:57.540 --> 01:07:02.420] And it's a lot more dramatically more calorically dense than things like vegetables. [01:07:04.260 --> 01:07:09.940] What would happen would be the grocery stores, and this would be an adaptation process, [01:07:09.940 --> 01:07:13.300] and there would be a lot of pain before the adaptation paid off. [01:07:14.580 --> 01:07:23.060] But grocery stores could probably shrink their square footage by about 80%, 70, 80%. [01:07:24.500 --> 01:07:32.820] And that remaining 20 or 30% would now be meat, meat byproducts, right? [01:07:32.820 --> 01:07:38.420] There'd be no vegetable oil, none of that. There'd be no cereals, there'd be no breads, [01:07:38.420 --> 01:07:44.020] there'd be nothing, right? I mean, there'd be no barbecue sauce, because I mean, [01:07:44.020 --> 01:07:50.740] as crazy as that sounds, you know this, like 99.9% of barbecue sauces are just loaded up with sugar. [01:07:50.740 --> 01:07:55.700] Try and find a sugar-free barbecue sauce, right? It almost doesn't exist, right? [01:07:55.700 --> 01:08:01.620] So all these foods would just go away. And all that would be there, there would be an [01:08:01.620 --> 01:08:05.940] incredibly large meat, incredibly large by today's standards, incredibly large meat section [01:08:06.660 --> 01:08:12.740] and a little tiny vegetable section. So, you know, a grocery store that you walk in, you can't, [01:08:13.620 --> 01:08:19.540] today you can't even see the other side, it's so vast. Now you'd walk in, there's the back wall [01:08:19.540 --> 01:08:27.540] right there, because it can all be shrunk down, right? We talked about the impact on [01:08:27.540 --> 01:08:39.780] medical community, big pharma. Let's talk about fast food. Fast food is, so much of it is highly [01:08:39.780 --> 01:08:46.740] processed food products. I didn't call it food, food products again. If everybody in the United [01:08:46.740 --> 01:08:55.060] States was saying, for the sake of this illustration, I only eat carnival, then fast food would have to [01:08:55.060 --> 01:09:00.740] find a way that when you stepped in the door, instead of asking for your Big Mac or your Whopper, [01:09:01.460 --> 01:09:08.180] you'd say, give me that slab of primer or whatever the food is, right? And at that point, [01:09:08.180 --> 01:09:12.580] people would actually care about their health. They presumably, in this example, people would [01:09:12.580 --> 01:09:18.900] care about their health. So they'd have to get things that were not pumped full of all sorts of [01:09:18.900 --> 01:09:27.940] chemicals by, you know, big food and so forth. So it would be a sea change, just complete. [01:09:29.460 --> 01:09:35.860] And yeah, there'd be a lot of pain, I'll be very clear about this, but the net outcome [01:09:36.820 --> 01:09:43.300] would be America would go from being, within a year, would go from being the sickest [01:09:44.180 --> 01:09:50.660] society, the sickest population in all of human history, which we are at this point. [01:09:50.660 --> 01:09:54.980] United States population is the sickest population that has ever walked the earth. [01:09:54.980 --> 01:09:59.140] We are sicker than people in every other land across the globe. We are the sickest. [01:09:59.860 --> 01:10:06.500] In a year, we'd be the healthiest people on the planet. There'd be a lot of economic pain [01:10:06.500 --> 01:10:14.580] that would go with that. We can work through the economic pain, but shifting from the sickest [01:10:14.580 --> 01:10:19.780] people on the planet and all of human history to being the healthiest, that's some good stuff right [01:10:19.780 --> 01:10:25.540] there, at least in my way of seeing the world. It's, it's boggling. I mean, think of all that [01:10:26.340 --> 01:10:30.100] extra square footage in the grocery store. We could just throw some weight equipment in there [01:10:30.100 --> 01:10:36.900] and people could go grab their beef. That'd be great. We wouldn't even need separate gyms [01:10:36.900 --> 01:10:42.980] and supermarkets. It could all be one place. Well, one stop shop for sure. There you go. [01:10:42.980 --> 01:10:49.620] Yeah, that's amazing. And as much as you and I would love to imagine a future where that [01:10:49.620 --> 01:10:55.300] would happen again, we know the powers that be and the way that this message is going to continue [01:10:55.300 --> 01:11:00.660] to be suppressed. But if you're listening to this year, the starfish that people talk about [01:11:00.660 --> 01:11:04.820] in that story where the guy's walking on the beach and throwing starfishes back in the ocean [01:11:04.820 --> 01:11:07.940] and the other person comes up and says like, Hey, you're never going to save all these starfishes. [01:11:07.940 --> 01:11:11.620] It's like, well, like save this one. He throws it in the ocean. Like you can be that person. [01:11:11.620 --> 01:11:15.220] You and your family can change the way you eat. You can change the way you think about food. [01:11:15.220 --> 01:11:21.060] Body science is a great way to learn about some of this stuff. And if you take the implications, [01:11:21.060 --> 01:11:24.900] cause you don't tell people what to do, by the way, you don't tell people that they have to be [01:11:24.900 --> 01:11:29.620] in ketosis and eat X, Y, and Z to be able to do it. It's just, this is the information. Now you [01:11:29.620 --> 01:11:34.340] decide what you're going to do. If you're the listener thinking that this is possible, you're [01:11:34.340 --> 01:11:39.540] right. Like you can go and do this. I I'm telling you, like, I I'm assuming it's the same for you, [01:11:39.540 --> 01:11:44.340] but since I've been on this way of eating, I have not gone to one medical doctor. I've not needed [01:11:44.340 --> 01:11:50.900] one prescription. Uh, my food costs a very low amount. I spend a few bucks a day on all the food [01:11:50.900 --> 01:11:55.860] that I need eating mostly carnivore. It's amazing. And your energy is good and your brain works [01:11:55.860 --> 01:12:02.260] better. And everybody in this community seems to be reversed aging magically. Like you are [01:12:02.260 --> 01:12:08.740] younger every time I see you, all of that is possible when you get the information that is [01:12:08.740 --> 01:12:13.300] in your book. And I'm again, I'm assuming that is the case for you. What, what are your medical [01:12:13.300 --> 01:12:19.860] bills? Like how many prescriptions are you on at age 65, like 64? Excuse me. Um, do you have the [01:12:19.860 --> 01:12:24.740] same experience that I've had? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I haven't, I haven't seen, well, not only [01:12:24.740 --> 01:12:30.500] have I not seen a doctor since I switched into ketosis, um, because I haven't had to, not only [01:12:30.500 --> 01:12:41.220] do I not take any prescription drugs, um, but I haven't been sick a day since I shifted into [01:12:41.220 --> 01:12:48.820] ketosis. Now that includes going through the whole SARS-CoV-2 event, right? Um, you know, I, [01:12:50.340 --> 01:12:53.860] I hope people won't take what I'm about to say the wrong way because I, I have, [01:12:55.060 --> 01:13:03.060] I have empathy for people who had a hard time with COVID-19. I have sympathy for the families [01:13:03.060 --> 01:13:09.300] of those who passed away. Okay. So please don't take this the wrong way for me. [01:13:10.660 --> 01:13:17.780] SARS-CoV-2, I call it the SARS-CoV-2 event because by the original definition of pandemic, [01:13:17.780 --> 01:13:28.100] it wasn't even a pandemic. Okay. Um, by the, by this, the SARS-CoV-2 event was a non-event [01:13:28.900 --> 01:13:36.100] for me. It was like, what the hell are all you people doing? [01:13:39.380 --> 01:13:46.260] It was funny because in about the first quarter of 2021, I went out and I had a blood test [01:13:46.980 --> 01:13:51.380] that what I paid for out of pocket, not none of that government crap, right? And that is, [01:13:51.380 --> 01:13:57.380] I don't want to be part of creating data for them on something that was run amok, right? So [01:13:58.100 --> 01:14:07.460] out of pocket for a test for SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell response. Okay. And [01:14:09.140 --> 01:14:14.260] the particular kind of T cell that they were testing for lifespan is roughly eight months. [01:14:14.980 --> 01:14:22.420] Okay. Sometimes it can be a little longer. Um, and I came up positive. Okay. So at some point [01:14:22.420 --> 01:14:33.140] during 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus got inside me and engendered, um, an antigenic response, [01:14:34.100 --> 01:14:38.660] but I was never sick a day in my life, right? You, now we go to the news and we see, you know, [01:14:38.660 --> 01:14:44.340] it was an RSV and you get the flu and you, you know, COVID is back and everybody's freaking out [01:14:44.340 --> 01:14:50.020] in hospitals or putting mask mandates back in place. And again, I don't care what it is, [01:14:50.020 --> 01:14:55.140] add all those together, you know, one big, this is fall, this is fall, this is winter, right? Okay. [01:14:56.020 --> 01:15:00.020] And again, I'm sitting over here. Well, none of that has anything to do with me [01:15:03.300 --> 01:15:09.140] because I've been living in ketosis for years. I don't ever get, I literally have not got, [01:15:09.140 --> 01:15:15.540] you know, like you, oh, I'm sick. I have to go to bed. I can't work. Not once since I switched [01:15:15.540 --> 01:15:19.060] into ketosis, but I do know when my body's fighting something. And I don't know if you [01:15:19.060 --> 01:15:27.700] have the same experience, Casey, if my body's fighting something, the worst of it is I feel [01:15:29.060 --> 01:15:34.820] a little off. Yeah. And one of the telltale signs for me, I don't know if this applies to others. [01:15:36.100 --> 01:15:38.980] I notice I react a little bit more emotionally to things. [01:15:39.700 --> 01:15:48.500] Things that I would go, suddenly I'm like, I don't like that. And I catch myself and I go, [01:15:48.500 --> 01:15:54.820] oh, I'm fighting something off. And, you know, a day or two later, I'm back to my normal [01:15:55.620 --> 01:16:03.780] person, my normal continents. But like, actually, like, I don't feel well. I have to go to bed. I [01:16:03.780 --> 01:16:12.820] can't work. I can't go to the gym has not happened. Not once since I've since I shifted into ketosis [01:16:12.820 --> 01:16:18.820] years ago. So this is this part of the thing, Casey, that I know I've expressed frustration [01:16:18.820 --> 01:16:23.380] on a couple of points as we've been talking today. You know, I want to like grab people [01:16:23.380 --> 01:16:30.740] by the lapels. I'm like, what don't you get? Now, granted, you and I also go to the gym, [01:16:30.740 --> 01:16:37.380] we do cardio, we do resistance training, which, for those of your audience who may not be aware [01:16:37.380 --> 01:16:42.500] of this, that's critical for your immune system, because a huge part of your immune system [01:16:43.540 --> 01:16:48.820] involves your lymphatic system. And unlike your cardiac system, where you've got a pump called [01:16:48.820 --> 01:16:56.020] the heart, your lymph system does not have a pump. But yet the lymph fluid to be healthy, [01:16:56.020 --> 01:17:00.740] most especially your immune system to be healthy, that lymph fluid has to circulate. [01:17:01.380 --> 01:17:07.540] The only way lymph fluid circulates is by the contraction of skeletal muscle. [01:17:08.340 --> 01:17:13.140] That's it. There's no other way to circulate it. So whether it's doing squats, whether it's doing [01:17:13.140 --> 01:17:18.740] curls, whether it's doing lat pulldowns, whatever that that action, the contraction release, [01:17:18.740 --> 01:17:23.780] contraction release, contraction release, moves the lymph fluid, right, which goes through the [01:17:23.780 --> 01:17:29.620] lymph nodes. It also affects your bone marrow. These things are all critical to your immune system. [01:17:30.580 --> 01:17:36.820] Which I think for speaking for me, and probably for you, we never get sick, because we're in [01:17:36.820 --> 01:17:43.060] ketosis. And we exercise. And I should say, since I've talked about the gym several times, [01:17:43.700 --> 01:17:46.980] you don't need to go to the gym. And if you don't, if you go to the gym, you don't need [01:17:46.980 --> 01:17:53.940] to be Arnold Schwarzenegger. Go there, do 20 or 25 minutes of cardio a day, move some weights around, [01:17:54.500 --> 01:17:58.260] um, get that muscle contraction of your skeletal muscles. [01:18:00.020 --> 01:18:04.420] And, and it'll all fall into place because that's how our bodies are genetically coded. [01:18:04.980 --> 01:18:10.340] Just do it. And you'll have the same response that Casey and I have had in our lives. [01:18:11.300 --> 01:18:16.100] Yep. Yep. Absolutely. When all this stuff went down in 2020, I was at low carb Denver, [01:18:16.100 --> 01:18:20.900] and all of us were watching the world shut down around us and saying the exact same thing. Well, [01:18:20.900 --> 01:18:25.460] this doesn't really, this, this isn't a problem I need to worry about. Like, yeah, we'll be careful [01:18:25.460 --> 01:18:29.700] or whatever, but everybody in that room knew that they had not gotten sick since they had been eating [01:18:29.700 --> 01:18:34.420] this way. That was exactly my experience. The day I got COVID, I felt like for 20 minutes, [01:18:34.420 --> 01:18:37.700] I might want to just kind of like lay down a little bit, but there was a world cup soccer [01:18:37.700 --> 01:18:41.940] game going on and I kind of wanted to watch that too. So I can't really see where there was one [01:18:41.940 --> 01:18:46.420] of the other, that was fine. So, and that is so consistent with anybody who eats this way. So [01:18:46.420 --> 01:18:50.660] I love that you made that point. You made that point in the book. Also that's like ketosis is [01:18:50.660 --> 01:18:55.300] not an up regulation really of your immune system. It's just removing all the stuff that [01:18:55.300 --> 01:19:01.460] suppresses your immune system, that makes it worse. This is our normal natural state of being. [01:19:01.460 --> 01:19:08.900] And all of the diseases and things that we now understand very well are related to insulin [01:19:08.900 --> 01:19:14.420] resistance and running the hepatic lipid system way too much by eating the wrong things, sugar [01:19:14.420 --> 01:19:19.140] and grains contributes to all of it. And if you can switch that system and start running your body [01:19:19.140 --> 01:19:24.900] in the right way, using ketosis and the lymphatic lipid system, everything improves, everything gets [01:19:24.900 --> 01:19:29.300] better. And that story just keeps repeating over and over and over and over again. It's amazing. [01:19:29.300 --> 01:19:35.620] It's so cool. One of the highlights for me about sitting here talking to you about this kind of [01:19:35.620 --> 01:19:38.820] thing is I spent a lot of time [01:19:42.500 --> 01:19:49.700] trying to influence people. And a lot of that's on social media. I have private clients, but a lot [01:19:49.700 --> 01:19:58.820] of that is on social media. And I don't know if you feel the same way, but it's a struggle [01:19:58.820 --> 01:20:04.020] trying to get people to open their minds. And here, the kind of things you and I have talked about today, [01:20:04.020 --> 01:20:10.020] it's a struggle, it's challenging. And so then I come on and I talk to somebody like you, [01:20:10.020 --> 01:20:17.220] it's like, ah, what a breath of fresh air. Somebody whose mind was open from day one, [01:20:17.220 --> 01:20:21.140] who took the information in, who performed the assessment, the evaluation, who looked at the [01:20:21.140 --> 01:20:28.740] evidence, adopted it, has lived it out tremendously for the rest of his life. And it's [01:20:28.740 --> 01:20:35.860] absolutely successful in a health perspective. Just leaving aside the audience, I just love having this [01:20:35.860 --> 01:20:44.580] conversation with you. It's like somebody who gets it right on. I don't talk to a lot of people who [01:20:44.580 --> 01:20:52.500] get it. It's tough. We are the minority out there, right? And it was learning about it the same way [01:20:52.500 --> 01:20:58.340] that you learned about it. This cannot be true. What I'm learning about the way [01:20:58.340 --> 01:21:03.380] that works and cholesterol works, then everybody has been wrong for all this time. And maybe people [01:21:03.380 --> 01:21:12.340] are making money off of these weird ideas. I feel like you are very grateful to have stumbled [01:21:12.340 --> 01:21:16.340] across this information and applied it with my clients and my own life to be able to reap the [01:21:16.340 --> 01:21:21.460] benefit. I know you feel the same way, you and Jen. I love what you guys are doing with adopting [01:21:21.460 --> 01:21:25.860] cats and you just got a new dog. I love the pictures of that. You're always either posting [01:21:25.860 --> 01:21:29.620] delicious pictures of your food or pictures of your pets, which I absolutely love. [01:21:31.460 --> 01:21:38.260] What's on the horizon for you? What's next for you? Oh, good question. And I've been wondering [01:21:38.260 --> 01:21:49.780] that myself. I love to write and you apparently think I did an admirable job with body science [01:21:50.260 --> 01:22:01.780] in terms of communicating, breaking science down into language that everyone can understand. There's [01:22:01.780 --> 01:22:07.060] what? 8.1 billion people on the planet and provided they speak English, they'll understand [01:22:07.060 --> 01:22:12.740] everything that's in body science. I stayed away as far as possible from the medical mumbo jumbo [01:22:13.540 --> 01:22:17.940] and represented. Now, Income Tax Shattering the Mist, my first book, [01:22:19.940 --> 01:22:31.140] same thing. It takes this incredibly vast and intentionally made complex, insane-making subject [01:22:31.140 --> 01:22:36.980] and it breaks it down into something that every single person can understand. And in both cases, [01:22:36.980 --> 01:22:45.700] the common denominator there is knowing what I knew, I couldn't just sit it out silently. [01:22:47.300 --> 01:22:51.860] And that was the impetus for Income Tax Shattering the Mist and it was the impetus [01:22:51.860 --> 01:22:57.220] for body science. Knowing what I know, I couldn't just sit it out. If I didn't, [01:22:58.260 --> 01:23:05.300] if I didn't, was that all expression? If not me, then who? So knowing what I knew, if I didn't [01:23:05.300 --> 01:23:08.740] share this with my countrymen and in case of body science, people all over the world, [01:23:10.180 --> 01:23:15.300] who's going to do that? And I have a gift for taking complex subjects and breaking them down [01:23:15.300 --> 01:23:20.900] to the things that every single person can understand, that nobody has to have a higher [01:23:20.900 --> 01:23:26.260] education, anything like that. We all have our gifts, right? That happens to be one of mine, [01:23:26.980 --> 01:23:34.100] the ability to distill and simplify and yet not lose the underlying important science or in the [01:23:34.100 --> 01:23:37.060] case of Income Tax Shattering the Mist, the important law, but break it down in a way [01:23:37.060 --> 01:23:44.100] everybody can understand. So in answer to your question, having done that twice, I'm kind of [01:23:44.100 --> 01:23:55.940] looking for the next thing. I did start a novel, that kind of petered out, I think, because it [01:23:55.940 --> 01:24:01.060] didn't have the same drive, the impetus to share critical information as the previous projects. [01:24:01.940 --> 01:24:06.420] I have toyed with the idea of writing a more like a pamphlet than a book, [01:24:08.900 --> 01:24:15.060] maybe a very skinny book on exercise. And from the perspective that, [01:24:16.980 --> 01:24:20.820] just like all the other subjects we've been talking about today, what most people have been [01:24:20.820 --> 01:24:30.020] programmed with by the media about exercise is actually false. There's so much bad information [01:24:30.020 --> 01:24:37.460] out there. So it would be like a companion piece, almost a body science, because a lot of it would [01:24:39.460 --> 01:24:46.100] revolve around somebody being in ketosis. But just the reality of what happens to our body, [01:24:46.100 --> 01:24:50.740] what happens to the brain when you exercise? I bet if we lined a thousand Americans up and asked [01:24:50.740 --> 01:24:58.100] them, explain to me the mechanism that occurs, the changes that occur in your brain function [01:24:59.060 --> 01:25:04.500] as you're exercising and in the hours after you've exercised. Go ahead and explain that to me. [01:25:05.540 --> 01:25:12.260] I don't know. Okay. We've talked about blood sugar a lot today. What happens in terms of blood sugar? [01:25:12.980 --> 01:25:18.580] What happens, we talked about the ATP's on the Krebs cycle, right? Which is so funny because [01:25:18.580 --> 01:25:24.740] that's part of the whole glucosis existence. Yeah. And when I say to people, when you're in [01:25:24.980 --> 01:25:31.540] ketosis, the Krebs cycle doesn't function in your muscle tissue. Oh, Casey, people get so mad. [01:25:31.540 --> 01:25:37.460] They're like, it absolutely still does. The Krebs cycle, the ATP is still critical for energy, [01:25:37.460 --> 01:25:44.260] for cellular energy. I'm like, not in the muscle tissue, not in ketosis. But they get so mad. [01:25:46.100 --> 01:25:53.780] But the point is, in sharing that, they don't understand. And especially because you remember [01:25:53.780 --> 01:26:00.820] back in the 80s, right? The whole exercise was all about trendiness and looking good. And [01:26:01.780 --> 01:26:07.220] Suzanne Summer doing that thing with her legs. Yeah. Psymaster. [01:26:08.740 --> 01:26:12.980] So it was just crazy stuff, right? And it just went from there getting crazier. [01:26:13.860 --> 01:26:20.420] And the reason I'm considering this is how many Americans would actually adopt some level of [01:26:20.500 --> 01:26:26.980] exercise. I don't even like the word exercise. It's been so bastardized with all these different [01:26:26.980 --> 01:26:37.300] ideas. How many people start moving their body if they understood what it does for them really? [01:26:38.660 --> 01:26:42.980] Not all the crap you see in muscle and fitness. Not all the crap you see in, you know, [01:26:42.980 --> 01:26:48.980] Eating Well magazine. Yeah, none of that garbage. Just what it really does physiologically for the [01:26:48.980 --> 01:26:57.860] human body. I wonder how many people would say, I didn't get it. I thought this was like a fad or [01:26:57.860 --> 01:27:05.540] a hype or people do this because they they they're vain. They want to look good. I didn't realize [01:27:05.540 --> 01:27:13.940] like ancient man was healthy. Because like it or not, there was no couch to sit on. Like it or not, [01:27:14.580 --> 01:27:20.580] he had to get off his ass and go out and walk and run and lift and push [01:27:21.780 --> 01:27:26.340] every single day. Was he was he lifting Arnold Schwarzenegger weights? He was not [01:27:27.460 --> 01:27:33.140] overwhelmingly, right? 99.99999% of the time, he was not lifting, you know, 400 pounds. But [01:27:33.940 --> 01:27:39.140] he was lifting and he was pulling, he was squatting and he was running and he was walking and he was [01:27:39.220 --> 01:27:44.980] wrestling, so to speak. And, you know, and, you know, I don't know how many original hominids [01:27:44.980 --> 01:27:50.900] existed on Earth. But I think we can agree the number was probably very small originally. [01:27:52.820 --> 01:27:57.300] And we're eight point something billion people now. 8.1, I think the last time I looked. Okay. [01:27:57.300 --> 01:28:08.980] So in a lot of that, that arc from however many small to billions occurred when man couldn't [01:28:08.980 --> 01:28:14.340] sit on his ass. He had to get up every day, he had to walk, he had to run, he had to push, [01:28:14.340 --> 01:28:23.380] he had to pull, he had a squat. And there was a reason that men use that like mankind not versus [01:28:23.380 --> 01:28:32.180] women. There's a reason that mankind was healthy and persevered through all of the hardships, [01:28:32.180 --> 01:28:37.460] all of the bacteria, all of the diseases, all of the incredibly cold winters, all of the insanely [01:28:37.460 --> 01:28:41.620] hot summers. And the population just kept growing and growing and growing and growing [01:28:42.500 --> 01:28:48.100] because he was healthy. He ate meat predominantly, overwhelmingly. He ate meat whenever possible. [01:28:49.220 --> 01:28:55.540] There was tribes that could not, but overwhelmingly ate meat and moved, had to every day. [01:28:56.340 --> 01:29:00.660] You see some of these researchers and they talk about they've gone to various tribes around the [01:29:00.660 --> 01:29:04.660] world and see what they've eaten. You know, and some of them are like, well, they eat like, you [01:29:04.660 --> 01:29:10.180] know, 85% carbohydrates. So that throws the carbohydrate argument out the window. You're [01:29:10.180 --> 01:29:18.980] not sick because of carbohydrates. Okay. So first of all, those tribes, they exist on the ancient [01:29:18.980 --> 01:29:25.780] level. Okay. Yes, their diet may be because of their circumstances where they live. Their diet [01:29:25.780 --> 01:29:32.980] may be 85% carbs, but they're moving from the minute they get on their feet until the minute [01:29:33.220 --> 01:29:40.500] they lay their head down and their calorie intake may be like 700 or 900, I'm sorry, [01:29:40.500 --> 01:29:51.060] 800 or 900 calories a day. A thousand calorie day is big calories, right? So people who are active, [01:29:52.100 --> 01:29:58.980] they have to be active to survive like those tribes do. And a big day of calories is a thousand [01:29:58.980 --> 01:30:08.580] calories. Yeah. They can survive living in glucose. It's not the desirable way. And there [01:30:08.580 --> 01:30:15.700] was experiments from genetically similar tribes in Africa where they had tribes that ate predominantly [01:30:15.700 --> 01:30:21.380] vegetable foods and they had tribes that ate nothing but meat. Okay. They had some, I forget [01:30:21.380 --> 01:30:26.020] the slogan, but that tribe, that part of the truck is they had had a disagreement at some point and [01:30:26.020 --> 01:30:31.060] went their separate ways. The tribe that ate primarily meat, they had some expression to some [01:30:31.060 --> 01:30:37.860] slogan like vegetables are for women or something like that. Right. And we're going back more than [01:30:37.860 --> 01:30:42.820] a hundred years ago now, but researchers tested the two tribes, which were genetically similar [01:30:42.820 --> 01:30:47.460] because they used to be one people. Okay. And those that ate nothing but animal flesh [01:30:48.420 --> 01:30:54.660] were stronger and faster than their counterparts who had a different diet. So the point being [01:30:54.660 --> 01:31:01.460] there's that good, better, best scale. And, uh, sure. People can survive on 900 calories a day, [01:31:01.460 --> 01:31:06.980] the 85% which of carbohydrates because of their circumstances, but that's not on the good, better, [01:31:06.980 --> 01:31:11.620] best scale. That's not best, right? Eating the meat is the best eating the meat and moving. [01:31:12.260 --> 01:31:17.860] That's the pinnacle. That's the apex. That's where you are. Yeah. That's where you are. [01:31:19.060 --> 01:31:23.060] Yeah. Have you gotten the, have you gotten the impression I could do this for hours because I [01:31:23.060 --> 01:31:29.220] love the subject. Yes. And I love this subject too. And I really, really, really hope you do [01:31:29.220 --> 01:31:34.340] write that book, pamphlet, booklet, whatever, because that is a message it needs to get out. [01:31:34.340 --> 01:31:39.060] People, I tell people all the time, like exercise, eating nutrition, all this stuff, [01:31:39.620 --> 01:31:44.900] maybe it's not easy, but it should be simple. All of this stuff could be very, very simple, moving, [01:31:44.900 --> 01:31:48.980] lifting, squatting. Like you said, it doesn't take much more than that. I think if more people knew [01:31:48.980 --> 01:31:55.140] that they would be, like you said, like more apt to try it. You know what I mean? So for me, [01:31:55.140 --> 01:32:00.100] selfishly, I really do hope that you write this book and I know that we could go on and on and on [01:32:00.100 --> 01:32:05.460] and on for hours on this topic. I absolutely love it. I'm so grateful for our friendship. I'm glad [01:32:05.460 --> 01:32:09.460] that you mailed me the book when you did, when I did not know who you were and that we've been able [01:32:09.460 --> 01:32:13.620] to do a few of these and just, I've learned so much from you and all your research. And you know, [01:32:13.620 --> 01:32:17.700] again, is it going to change the world? Unfortunately, probably not, but we can change [01:32:17.700 --> 01:32:22.580] a few lives out there and your book is a big part of that. So as always, thank you so very much for [01:32:22.580 --> 01:32:26.580] all of your work and your research and everything that you do. Where would you like people to go to [01:32:26.580 --> 01:32:31.060] find you, connect with you and your work and find a book? Okay. Before I say that, I want to [01:32:31.060 --> 01:32:37.700] acknowledge you. Yes, I did send you the book. Okay. But you read it and you had an interest in [01:32:37.700 --> 01:32:44.020] talking about it. I cannot tell you how many authors, influencers, et cetera, not authors, [01:32:44.020 --> 01:32:47.940] journalists and influencers I've sent a copy of body science to. [01:32:50.500 --> 01:32:55.380] Very few have actually read it and almost none want to talk about it, which I think is part of [01:32:55.380 --> 01:32:59.780] the reasons we discussed earlier. So I wanted to acknowledge you. Yes, I sent you the book, [01:32:59.780 --> 01:33:07.540] but it's all about you. You took the bull by the horns and you did what is beneficial for others. [01:33:08.100 --> 01:33:14.340] Okay. You read it, you applied it, you talk about it. Thank you for having me on. Now onto your [01:33:14.340 --> 01:33:19.140] question. If people want to get body science or anything else I've written, they can go to [01:33:19.140 --> 01:33:28.420] drreality.news. That's D-R reality, all one word, drreality.news. They can follow me on rumble. [01:33:28.980 --> 01:33:34.500] That's where I put all my videos these days because YouTube removed me because I was telling the [01:33:34.500 --> 01:33:42.100] truth and they didn't like that. So if you go to rumble, simply search for Dave Champion PhD. [01:33:43.300 --> 01:33:49.540] For whatever reason, when you enter Dave Champion without the PhD in rumble, it doesn't really bring [01:33:49.540 --> 01:33:56.660] me up for some reason. So make sure you add the PhD. Also, I am on X, formerly Twitter, [01:33:57.620 --> 01:34:06.900] and my username there is drreality5, the same D-R reality with the numeral five at the end, [01:34:06.900 --> 01:34:14.580] and you'll find me there. I post my videos on both X natively and on rumble. And of course, [01:34:14.580 --> 01:34:19.540] if somebody's on Facebook, they can reach out and friend me, but I should warn them, [01:34:19.540 --> 01:34:26.900] you're a friend of mine on Facebook. I talk about a whole spectrum of things on my personal [01:34:26.900 --> 01:34:32.980] Facebook page that I don't get into on X and rumble. So somebody may think they know what [01:34:32.980 --> 01:34:38.660] they're getting and not be so happy on the Facebook side of things. So if you just want to stick to [01:34:38.660 --> 01:34:45.460] the law and you want to stick to physiology, rumble and X is probably where you want to be. [01:34:46.020 --> 01:34:50.420] Awesome. Perfect. We'll link all that up in the show notes. Dave, this has been a pleasure and [01:34:50.420 --> 01:34:53.700] thank you so very much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Thank you for writing the book. [01:34:53.700 --> 01:34:59.380] It's a shame that others didn't because they're missing out and it's a story that needs to get [01:34:59.380 --> 01:35:04.980] out to more people. And again, you absolutely have a gift of making things really complex, [01:35:04.980 --> 01:35:10.180] be very well understood for the reader. And yeah, you do a great job of that. So thank you so very [01:35:10.180 --> 01:35:13.300] much again for all of your work and thank you for taking time to be on our show today. We [01:35:13.300 --> 01:35:16.820] really appreciate you. Thanks Casey. Thank you.
