Believe it or not, if you’ve been feeling like you just can’t bring yourself to focus, are constantly battling procrastination, or even struggling with low mood, it’s probably because you’re not looking after your gut. In this episode I sit down for a conversation with Sophie Medlin, one of the UK's leading experts on gut health. Sophie is a dietitian, chair of the British Dietetic Association and a lecturer at King's College London. In the conversation we discuss how the connection between gut health and mental health has become an emerging area of research, how to feed your body with the right foods to optimise your cognitive performance and we also discuss weird and wonderful nutrition myths that have been circulating on social media over the past few years. Enjoy!

Bro you missed DR PAL.
The brain gut connection is sooo fascinating
These negative comments are the reason why people should be informed that dietitians are the nutrition experts. A lot of people are victims of nutrition misinformation.
The appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.
@@katej910 Dietitians are the experts in the field of nutrition and they receive rigorous training. It is logical to believe a dietitian for nutrition advice, rather tha nutrition coaches, health and wellness “gurus”
@@jesseruth9622 if the field of dietetics teaches that breakfast cereals are healthy, then there is something seriously wrong with that field. I wonder where women got their iron from before the invention of cereal a hundred years ago 😅.
exactly. a lot of people who would rather listen to influencers.
@@katej910 presumably, you listened to her explain after his follow up questions that when she says "cereals," she doesn't mean the processed stuff, she means stuff like oats?
I can see through the comments that people get quickly offended whenever someone talks about their eating habits. Nutrition is a very sensitive topic nowadays since we have a lot of gurus who are preaching wrong diets. Thanks for this podcast I really enjoyed hearing different point of views although people don’t know how to be polite in the comment section and became rude on body shaming the expert.
Pesticides approved in the us are NOT allowed in europe - worth noting
I loved this episode! It is interesting the guest mentioned emulsifiers being bad for our gut health while majority of products from Huel which are advertised here contains them.
I thought the same.
LOL I was thinking the same
The comments do not pass the vibe check. Thanks Ali for this interview! Very interesting and helpful advice from Sophie!
The "vibe test"?
the self-proclaimed experts need to take several seats 😂
@@7thCobweb All the people who swear by the carnivore diet think they have degrees in diet studies now
Watch bart kays reaction to this. An actual profesör. @@7thCobweb
"Vibe Check"? Are you 14?
I wish he had given her some pushback on her claims that there are no benefits to intermittent fasting. I would like to have heard her expand on that as it seems to be the polar opposite of what everyone else is saying at the moment.
Yeah. She's like trust me, i'm a dietician. Especially when there are scientific literature out there supporting IF. Just makes claims without evidence.
My doctor says there's no research to support IF as having benefits in itself. The benefit is that people doing IF eat fewer calories.
@@MyFocusVaries It's not always the case that people who are doing IF eat fewer calories. I'm personally going to the gym and trying to gain weight while doing IF. I eat the same amount of calories just in a smaller window. Although of course, I accept that most people doing IF probably do consume fewer calories.
I would just have liked to hear her reasoning. I was under the impression that IF, along with not consuming ultra processed foods, was one of the few things related to diet that was universally agreed upon as being beneficial.
@@MyFocusVaries lookup Dr Rhonda Patrick and Dr Andrew Huberman
When I reduced the plant, fibre and carbs in my diet, my IBS went away and my poop became more consistent, stomach cramps disappeared. Fibre is more likely to damage the delicate nature of the intestines and flush nutrients out before you can absorb them. While we need a healthy gut flora, we are not ruminants nor hind gut fermentors like chimps or gorillas, our main digestion is done through enzymes and bile rather than bacteria.
I love your work Ali, but having health experts on podcasts is always so dangerous because it’s so easy for them to make claims that are simply wrong. I’m sure Sophie is a wonderful person, but she made several over-generalized claims that can give people bad information. For example she said there’s essential no value in intermittent fasting. I know you respect Andrew Huberman and he just had Dr. Panda on who spoke for 2 hours about the research-based, evidence-backed claims of the benefits of fasting. Sophie seems like a legit expert but she went way out of her lane many times on this podcast. Health claims are complex and we have to be really specific about what we are saying and the evidence for and against. Things are often way more complicated than the broad strokes Sophie made. Digging into the complexity of a single health claim could easily take 20-30 minutes on a podcast. Quick yes and no answers aren’t ideal. Still, love your work Ali. Just be wary of having health experts on - it’s a difficult to tightrope to walk.
I second this bro, there’s too many studies out there, where significant benefits are happening in the body, whilst one is fasting, such as recovery of damaged cells.
Totally agree with this.
If she was so under-informed about fasting, it seems likely that she was under informed on other claims she made also.
The one thing she said that I agree with is the criticism she levelled at everyone else, that we don’t know what we don’t know. Pity she couldn’t see that that applies equally to herself.
I heard her say the opposite. Good idea to fast and eat at optimum time to suit your body clock.
If a person is willfully giving bad advice and leading people to a lifetime of ill health, that person IS NOT wonderful. This woman is a threat to society.
of course this expert who teaches at king's college is less informed than you all 🙄🙄🙄 ... - there is more to studies than just hearing about them, you actually have to read them and understand the context and how much weight they carry. scientists like her are always up to date and have to read a lot, and CRITICALLY, and they are in their field for years after having gone to university for an academic degree. sit the hell down!
Appreciate this!! ❤
This podcast has confirmed some problems I have had with my gut since going back to a meat eating diet in excess trying to gain muscle. I was a vegetarian for 5 years and I loved how my gut felt now with having less plants and more meat I’m having a hard time breaking down my food. Will be taking some steps mentioned here and. Maybe even trying that supplement Ali spoke of. Thank you ❤
Best episode!👍
Ali,you are the best
I highly enjoyed this. One of the things that didn't get addressed but that I'd love her input on, if there's ever a second deep dive, is alcohol. Alcohol supposedly disrupts the microbiome, so what is healthy consumption, and do the polyphenols etc from red wine provide enough health benefit to continue a regular consumption?
Do you still believe that having huel for breakfast is VERY VERY healthy ?
amazing and useful podcast 🔥
I have to point out that she is such a lovely person. The way she begins her conversation with a generous compliment and a bit of excitement just brightens the entire atmosphere! 💖
Thats so truee she’s so sweet
Yeah but look at her.
@@hnnhml she looks perfectly marbled.
And to think that this morning I watched a video podcast by the minimalists who had dr. Paul Saldino on the show who basically said the exact opposite of everything said in this video podcast. It is sooo hard to know which information that is out there is correct and true. But my take is that what might be good for your weight is not nescessarily good for your (gut) health and vice versa, so I guess it’s a balancing act like everything in life.
I’d go with the dietitian.
@@marianr8617hich one backed their claims with actual science? Which one looks like their way of eating is working for them?
It’s not really that hard if you think for yourself. This woman is overweight and advises to eat breakfast cereal. Paul advises meat eating and is healthy.
@@marianr8617 best wishes lol
Not that I would agree with Paul Saladino's fruit & honey based diet, but at least he knows some studies and actually cites them.
1:06:54 I found dairy to really inflame my acne. When I removed it I saw way less inflammation and pimples. This has been shown in loads of studies too. So not sure why she thinks milk is so fantastic.
Milk may not be the actual problem. You may have some other problems that cause acne.
Milk is many things and depending on the milk product, you may get better results. Milk is fat (probably fine), protein/casein (you may tolerate A2(*) casein better than A1), sugar in form of lactose (you may be missing the enzyme to split it into glucose and galactose), but also immuno globulins and other stuff like enzymes. Depending on your dairy product, some of these are missing which may be good or bad for you. A2 dairy is bovine dairy marked as A2-only or also all pure buffalo, sheep or goat dairy products.
obviously since we are all different some foods might not suit you. it doesn't mean milk is a food that is generally unhealthy it just means it does not suit you, who has acne. acne IS a disease so it means your skin is not reacting to certain circumstances normally... i have the same problem with dairy but the underlying issue is acne and NOT milk.
@@7thCobweb You do have acne but if you fast and drink enough water does it get any better? Skin improves?
Amazing Podcast ! Very informative and educational , the entire two and half hour podcast has been an interesting discussion and Ali has literally asked her all the questions which i had in my mind while watching it .. Keep up the good work and continue doing your amazing research and share it to people like us

Great video!!!!

Thanks!
All the information you want is on TH-cam.
Where can we find the link to "Deep Divers"? Love your podcast!
This was going so well until 38 mins in. Unfortunately Sophie needs to catch up with latest research but not the studies where outcomes are heavily influenced by profit. Look up Dr Paul Mason, Prof. Tim Noakes, Prof Bart Kay, Dr Anthony Chafee, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Eric Westman, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr David Diamond, Dr Robert Lustig etc .......
Paul Mason, Bart Kay, and Anthony Chaffee are quaks. Not reliable sources of information
Surprised this didn't transition right into a Athletic greens AD lmao
Oh I'm so curious - Sophie mentioned anti-caking agents in vitamins that can be harmful to your body. I have long-standing issues which I *think might be related to taking low quality daily vitamins. What are some of the harmful effects of the additives in vitamins? Could this really be what caused my issues??
It's probably very small amounts compared to what you get with normal supermarket diet. But be aware, also "proper" medications have the same anti cake agents. Best to stay away from any pills and also non organic food or any food with an ingredient list.
Here to advise, this "dietician" is giving the worst advice there is. There is zero evidence for any of her claims about meat causing cancer. Zero evidence that you cannot get all the nutrition you need in one meal - you can...from a big fat juicy steak, of which I had three for dinner. As for her advice to have cereal for breakfast - yee gods!
I enjoyed hearing her take on things and I thought you asked great questions. I think this advice it like anything else, try it and if it’s not working for you then you need to change it. There’s never going to be a one size fits all lifestyle. This was good food for thought though. Thank you!! It was fun to listen to while doing my house chores!
what i don't get is, historically, how were we designed to eat 30 diff plants a week? wouldn't a survival based organism optimize for needing the least amount of nutrients / diverse foods?
I'm not an expert on evolution, but while it doesn't seem evolutionarily advantageous to need 30 different plants, I'm guessing that it's evolutionarily advantageous to be able to extract useful nutrients from 30 different plants. That would mean that while it's advantageous to need as few plants as possible for survival, it would also mean that consuming as many as reasonably possible is the best way to optimize nutrient intake.
Stable nitrogen isotope tests show that humans were highly carnivorous before the advent of agriculture. We were carnivores for at least 300,000 years, possibly up to 2.5 million years. We’ve only been reliant on plant agriculture for roughly 10,000 years. That’s barely even 4% of our evolutionary history.
@Raymond Stone everything in the grocery section is man made and heavily sprayed with glyphosate.
I let animals liver filter it out the toxins for me. Then eat the animal.
All the balanced plant based diet stuff it completely made up. The origins come from the 7th Day Adventist church, where "god" told a lady that men should eat plant based to have less lust for the flesh. Look it up, they don't even hide it.
Apparently humans are required to eat 30 different plants per week to survive. While nobody mentions that NONE of those 30 plants they mention even existed 15.000 years ago and most of them not even 100 years ago. Like today's bananas, broccoli, coliflower, apples, potatoes, corn, etc.
If you hope to get in 30 plants in a week by rotating them (5/day) and not repeat them until next week, stuff will inevitably spoil, no?
Would have been great to have some links to the studies quoted please.
What is the relationship and benefits of fasting for your gut health?
What about every nutritionist suggesting that we need 2 grams of proten per pound of bodyweight to build muscle and also plants not having full profile of amino acids there for being inferior to meat? How is it possible to eat meat only once in a day and get that much protein? It's nearly impossible to eat that much plants, which also have so many carbs and fiber with them, makes gut like a balloon.
It's basically impossible to eat vegan and have enough of all amino acids. You would really need to study all the combinations you need to get the full profile or just eat soy, which is bad for other reasons. And even if you do manage to get all the protein, it would come with too many carbs and plant based protein isolates would be worse.
This advice seems like, apply to all. But. Like fasting, if you fast for few days. Your body can adapt to hunger. And she said eat all kind of food. Everyone has microbiome but not everyone has same equal hormone/body reaction.
This is exaxtly whose help I need as someone with UC...
My gut is very very slow.slow transit time…. What’s the advice for this… it’s dietitian work or who can really help?????? I m suffering from chr.constipation….. so badly suffering……
Wow. This stuff is really powerful. Thank you!
I listen to this episode again and again and again on Spotify and now I found it on TH-cam. Every time I find something new. So interesting, thank you.
I have to agree with most of the comments .... she seems like a nice person but that being said she should not be giving people dietary advice.
why not? cause you believe influencers over medically trained dietitians?
in recent years I have become very leery with these so called trained dietitians and doctors. oh yea she is one of those plant based dietitians ... had to go back and refresh... those peeps are all nuts @@ravenswood118
When Ali goes carnivore, I hope he will revisit this conversation and challenge or correct all the dubious claims this dietician made.
Peak dietician was reached when she criticised others for not knowing what they don’t know.
David, I agree witg you!!! And i couldn't disagree with her more on several things she said.
exactly...she is a dangerous woman
@@Unique_Monk She might be making people more ill.
@@steveherridge8965 she is
@@Unique_Monk Where’s the proof that being on a carnivore diet is the healthiest thing for everybody? Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it’s sound nutritional advice for the general public
Incredible information. Thank you.
This was so calm and nice to listen to! Great job. Just discovered your podcast channel and can’t believe we get all this information for free! 👏🏻 I didn’t know about the oily fish portion before this!
info that is wrong...;)
th-cam.com/video/QUN8ALjRfv0/w-d-xo.html
The most desired video I have been searching on youtube..tnx for making a podcast on 2nd brain of human being i.e. clone/gut. These days more than 60% of people are suffering from gut problems that lead to constipation, IBS and causes of other fatal diseases.
So, those who care about their gut are bound to have sound mental and physical health that helps them become successful in their life.
🥰🥰🥰
Carnivore helps IBS, constipation and mental health for me.
not saying it is not true... however many have claimed that meat only and low to no carb diet saved their guts... would be good to address why that might be the case and why it would be better for everyone else to have a balanced diet instead of just dismissing that as internet myth...
It did mine. She is just wrong on EVERY level.
There are so many possible ways one could be sensitive to the natural substances in plants. But very very few people are sensitive to unadulterated meats.
Very politely put.
A “balanced” diet is bad for my insulin resistance. Only intermittent fasting and low carb/high fat foods keep my glucose levels safe.
@@anthonyhulse1248 The "balance" in "balanced diet" is completely made up, but repeated so many times that people think it needs to be. Nobody would suggest a "balanced" diet to a great white shark or giant panda. Yet, somebody invents the balanced diet some decades ago and now it's mandatory?
I find it unusual that when my wife followed the exact diet recommendations given here and by her doctor she experienced terrible ulcered colitis.
Bleeding etc
After 8 weeks of keto, with very, very low fibre but no portion control on protein she has zero symptoms, stopped all daily medication, has lost 10% body weight, and is feeling better than she has in 20 years.
I don't think this woman knows what she is talking about.
She would have a great business however, of repeat customers trying to lose weight over and over.
Stop spreading lies.
Her kind of advice had me in such a huge downward health spiral . Every thing she says is 100% the opposite of what my actual life experience is.
Totally agree. I'm on Carnivore, lost 35 lbs in 6 months and never felt better.
Correct.
Same for me! I am disgusted by these clinicians who are giving detrimental advice. They don't want you getting healthy and reversing metabolic disease...the want to "control" it 😡
Same for me. Any time I eat plants, fibre etc. I get gut pain, bad runny sh*ts etc.
99% Carnivore for 2.5 years and it's the best I've felt.
She's total bs.
There's just soooooooo much information that refutes most of what she says.
Links?
Wonder how our ancestrals thrived without the iron in cereals. 😂
Very badly. They were just sick and waited for all the hybridized veggies and grains to be invented by future generations.
@@wocket42 So future generations could make food that their bodies never touched during the evolutionary process that defined our physiology.
we don't live in the ancient times, though....our soil is different, our life styles are different. I don't know why you people have trouble understanding that.
@@ravenswood118 There's something that never changed: the engineering of your body, witch was designed by the process of evolution, since it's not been a long time with agriculture, the project of you body it's the same of 50k years ago, and 50k years ago, every body was spending all day trying to get meat or making tools to get meat. But if hunting fails, there were always some roots or fruits for us not to starve. We can eat veggies, but they have much less nutrients, and the nutrients they have are less bioavailable than the ones found in animal products, vitamin A for example. But yes, veggies are edible, and sometimes delicious, just don't go eating them from a box or something, try to get them the way Gaia prepared them for you. NO CORN FLAKES WITH SUGGAR! Even as a carnivore, I sometimes eat fruits, salads, roots, and specific seeds, for phytonutrients and replenishing minerals.
@@ravenswood118 You say soil is different, and YES, it's! Plants are getting less nutritious due to mineral deficiency in soil. I would suggest that a quick research can show how cattle can be wonderful for soil mineralization and micro biome healing.
I've been keto for two years. It helps with my migraines and my pcos symptoms
Great that it is helping. Pity the guest on this podcast was so dismissive of its benefits. She may well put off some people who would otherwise be helped by it.
try carnivore...bet you eradicate them full stop....
Although I agree with the majority of what she is saying, I'm sensing a lot of bias from her also. Feels like all types of diet out there are bad unless it's the one she is directly advertising or part of her own business. I never met a person on the heavy side with no health concerns. These people she is talking about are the very small minority.
Love this content from you, Doctor Ali!!!
th-cam.com/video/QUN8ALjRfv0/w-d-xo.html
Different things work for different people. Mainstream nutrition advice simply doesn’t work for most of the people. Like drinking milk. I could learn a lot from this Lady, thank you. However my gut can not ‘resonate’ with many of her advice. I take diet advice from Chinese medicine practitioners, I can find them extremely helpful. 🙏🙏🙏
okay,now this was life changing and eye opening
Love this, more content like this please!
Really nice episode 👍☺️
.. a bit weird to have Huel as a sponsor for this topic
Same as Diary of a CEO - expecting a drink to provide all the nutrients we need
Just on time! I am currently reading "How not to die" by Michael Greger so I'm extremely interested in the topic! Love your podcast, it's highly appreciated 😍
If you do not want to die early I would advise to not do whatever she says. She believes Cheerios are a vastly better breakfast than eggs. Madness!
She sounds more like how to make sure you die.
th-cam.com/video/QUN8ALjRfv0/w-d-xo.html
Greger's book should be titled "How to die prematurely" or "How to wreck your health."
The body literally makes itself largely from the food that we eat, so doctors not being well-trained in this arena is so odd.
I just watched a neurologist in a migraine forum also say how most of our body's serotonin is produced in the gut. That's just one major gut/brain connection. And a simple explanation of the need to eat a wide variety of food was that the various gut bacteria each have a different diet themselves, and if we want a broad variety of bacteria, we need that wide diet ourselves to feed that variety of bacteria.
That's really interesting. I may be an odd case, but I find that a meat heavy keto diet helps with my migraines
why don't you go watch DR Anthony Chaffee also a Neurologist... and see what He thinks!
This woman is AMAZING, I could listen to her all day. She speaks so warmly whilst coming across as completely authoritative in all things diet/gut and general well-being. I got so much out of this interview even though I consider myself quite healthy/knowledgeable. I want to be her friend and hang out - what a joyful energy she has 🥰 thank you
I assume you are being sarcastic. Well done. 👍 Well known is the maxim, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Ladies and Gentle men - just look at Sophies image. Trim taut and terrific? I don't think so, but she would always insist "I have always been a big girl." Of course dear, you ate the wrong things since forever.
She might be an amazing person, but her dietary advice is terrible.
Did really need all the “bravo” introduction of how she grew up and came into her career..
I've gone carnivore and I've lost weight, my gut is far better than it has ever been and the things she says are insane!
Me too!
Met too - Im in my 50's and the craziest thing as well as losing 45 lbs of lard in the last 18 months on carnivore, I also am putting on muscle and doing little exercise. There was a time I thought the carnivore's were nuts - no more.
Don't you think it's strange that the carnivore diet is the only thing that works for you? Wouldn't you consider it more likely that you have gut issues that are in remission and need actual treatment and the only reason the carnivore diet is working is that it keeps those untreated underlying health issues from triggering. Meaning that the issues are not actually healed but still lingering for the rest of your life?
@@AdrianW3D They weren't serious issues, just bloating and mostly just plain fat! I had all of my bloodwork done and it was all normal. I know it's hard for people to believe that we've been lied to and blatantly so for our whole lives but deep down, you know it's true.
@@AdrianW3D I don’t think they said that the carnivore diet was the only thing that worked, just that it worked.
Also, if eating certain foods leads to being unhealthy and overweight, not eating those foods seems a sensible choice, not necessarily an avoidance of an underlying issue that could be healed with medical intervention.
It is so relieving to get the answers to all your questions in one go.
Been telling people
what an interesting episode, I learned a lot from it. thanks, Ali.
Following this woman's advice will most probably lead to digestive system problems (gas. bloating, pain, diarrhea./constipation, and worse from there). Not to mention skin issues, allergies, mood disorders (depression/anxiety), cognitive decline, diabetes, arthritis, etc., etc.
I eat red meat every day and I have felt better than ever !!!
I do that twice a day.
good luck with your cancer
@@cornstar1253me too
This is such a good video packed with good plain speaking & informative advice!
This woman has no shame to call herself an expert.
Why cant i post my opnion. She seems like a WEF spokesperson.
Why are you selective with your comments, let me post my opinion. No bad mouthing, simple opinion.
Sophie Medlin sounds like a World Economic Forum spokesperson. Also a host of a TV show, says a lot. Many peoples lives and myself changed from starting to eat proper red meat and drinking raw milk. Vegan makes you weak minded. Less meat, more soy, crickets, plants, lab produced meat - green age da push. Artificial sweeteners are not safe, they destroy peoples gut.
when she mentioned red meat causing cancer she may as well be lol this has been debunked 100s of times. just look up shawn bakers video on it
I have been on the Carnivore Diet, eating only meat, for 7 months now. And I have never felt better. Most of what this dietician has said, is nonsense. She has no data to back up her claims, just that she is a dietician, so therefore, she must know what she is talking about. When I was on the Standard American Diet, I was miserable. So much inflammation, aches and pains, arthritis, gut issues etc. Now, I have none of those issues. And that is all due to me eating only meat, mostly red meat.
Sponsored by Huel which is full of emulsifiers unfortunately 🙃
I wondered about this! I was waiting for Ali to ask if Huel is any good - I think he touched on it tangentially, but my guess is that she would have been against Huel.
the Irony!
I know I'm going on a bit, but you said 'like' 12 times in 48 secs, not including where 'like' was appropriate.
I know, was like so annoying
@@ukmcltd5122 aaarghhh
I like this podcast. One request though. Be aware that you say "like" far too often mate, and you're doing that rising intonation thing too, where your sentences go up in tone like Americans and Australians do.
This should be top comment, so many people do it and it’s horrific
@UKMC LTD People just aren't aware and simply don't hear it. I was speaking to someone yesterday and told him he now says 'like' at least once every sentence, he didn't realise. He's studying language at university. I was baffled.
Great podcast! Super informative! Thanks Ali for this interview and thanks Sophie for sharing her knowledge! :)
I learned a lot. For example, I actually have a genetic predisposition for colon cancer, but was unaware of the dangers of eating too much red meat. I'm also looking forward to incorporating more nuts, seeds, and plants in my diet! :D
Your health is your own choice, but before committing to plants as the solution to health on the basis of this one dietician’s opinions, look at some of the zero plant solutions that many people are making us aware of on youtube.
Red meat is demonised without research to show that poses any significant additional risk. It may well be healthier for you. it is certainly kinder to my digestive system than plants ever have been.
If I were you, I would look for health and nutrition advice elsewhere. This woman is ignorant of human metabolism -- most dieticians are.. Following her advice will most probably lead to digestive system problems (gas. bloating, pain, diarrhea./constipation, and worse from there). Not to mention skin issues, allergies, mood disorders (depression/anxiety), cognitive impairment, diabetes, arthritis, etc., etc.
The funny thing is people with colon cancer are actually advised not to eat plants seeds and nuts 😬
@@davidr1431 Actually, I know my body does really well eating lots of vegies. Also, it turns out the traditional Chinese diet I already eat actually follows the guidelines anyways, so I didn't need to change anything haha. The real killer for me is eggs, cheese, and peanut butter D:
But, yes I think it's highly individualized!
Dietician? I guess not. She's on wrong track for sure.
"Your gut makes 95% of your serotonin" - Ali you are a QUALIFIED DOCTOR, for crying out loud! Your average 2nd year medical student could tell you that serotonin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier - to claim it affects our mood is pure fiction. I could forgive you for letting it slip in the interview but to be so brazen as to put it in the thumbnail is shameful.
Uh....I googled it and the NIH + all the major medical authorities agree with what she is saying about that.
Y'all I am allergic to fish ! What do I do 😂😂
This lady doesn't know the difference between red and white meat
yes she does
this advice goes against my personal experience, so perhaps there isn't one rule for all, per ayurvedic dosha's. she doesnt seem particularly lean to me. if she is going to talk about people who have struggled with a low carb diet, there are also examples of the exact opposite, but she doesn't seem to be prepared to acknowledge this and include this as part of a balance and unbiased answer
Pseudoscience. Meat is a health food. The sooner you realize this, the healthier you’ll become. She is fat and unhealthy and is giving opinions about health. How does she know if her advice works if it isn’t manifested in her??
she is neither fat nor unhealthy. you're just a dolt.
Do the opposite of what she says. Save yourselves
Cheers
If I followed her advice, I would have my ulcerative colitis flare up again and i would gain my weight back so I would ber HER size again.
what's wrong with her size?
@@ravenswood118shes carrying extra weight and most people who want to lose weight want to hear how from a person with healthy looking physique, and she is overweight so obviously her advice is nil
@@lizellehattingh281 she's not carrying extra weight. one doesn't need to be a size 2. you people are deranged, seek mental health help.
Seed oil - sounds like eminence based not evidence based. I think that Sophie Medlin needs to understand more about Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio, the high level of oxidation of seed oil, and the levels of glyphosate.
High fat low carb means you don't get hungry when you fast. Eating snacks all day long keeping insulin high and disabling leptin - course you can't sleep
She recommeded to eat fishy smelling fish. The fishy smell is the rancid omega 3 fatty acids.
The wicked witch of the vegetable industry 🤣
looks like she needs a pillow to be comfy in the chair
Really wish dieticians in the US had training like this. I saw one as part of a medically managed weight loss program, and she was completely clueless on why I gained weight if I ate healthy or lost of I ate junk food. 😔 It took years for me to figure out any sort of clue as to how to feel better and what to eat. Still haven't lost the weight, but am generally healthy these days.
why...she is totally wrong...look at her...is she slim ?
seems like she's making a living out of lying

They do, that is why there is an epidemic of obesity.
They recommend cereal, just like her. They also demonize meat like her.
To tell people to eat cereal is probably the worst service ever, full of processed sugar.
She probably also believes that lucky charms are healthier than eggs, lol😂.
@@superlawman2010 🤣🤣
This advice is the standard mainstream professional opinion in the USA. She’s also wrong about everything.
Looking forward to the transcript for this! This is definitely one of my favorite episodes. Super practical and insightful. I shared this with a patient that I'm treating for pelvic health and she too was looking for the transcript. 👀
Whatever she said is in line with Ayurveda. Really sad to see such harsh comments about the her and her weight. Gastrointestinologists will agree with her too.
You two talk way fast 💨
She is the poo expert because she is full of it.
Anyone that tells you cereal is good and that chicken and fish are red meat don't know what they are talking about.
The fact that this women is considered the leading expert in diet is extremely telling of the current pandemic obesity.
She doesn't look exactly thin either.
It's her culture. They rarely think outside the box or really dig deeper than their training.
she said not to eat the processed cereal, though. she goes on to explain cause he asks her about it. when she says "cereal," she means things like oats. also, she never said chicken and fish are red meat....
Hi Ali,
Thanks for this interview. I appreciate the breadth of topics covered, but I am somewhat disappointed in your epistemic integrity, both for not giving any pushback and for the sponsorship. Here's why:
Firstly, lots of claims Sophie makes just scream "appeal to nature" really, really loudly and you didn't flag it once (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature).
Secondly, I disapprove of her lack of nuance with regard to semaglutide. Obesity is a chronic disease that impacts the life quality of millions. Dietitians fail miserably at curing it! (Not because they're incompetent, but because it's just really, really hard.) The type of person she refers to earlier in the podcast who is just "naturally and healthily overweight" may or may not exist, but must be a minority given the rather recent surge in obesity. It's not clear to me if she is promoting HAES (health at every size, a movement known for its denial of scientific evidence) or accepts that obesity is bad for the world but is confused about how low the chances of improvement with standard practice "diet and exercise" are.
And finally, did she know that the interview is sponsored by Huel? Given her focus on a varied and natural diet, my guess is that she wouldn't approve of that. It seems prudent that this should be a question for you to raise in this interview. Relatedly, I'm not convinced that her product is fundamentally superior to the influencers she is criticising earlier, just because she is a dietitian.
These points are ones that I put some thinking into of my own and can therefore put into some critical context. A claim like "brain fog comes from a disbalanced microbiome, even if you don't have digestive issues" should raise some eyebrows and is controversial! I don't have enough context myself though to evaluate it as I didn't dive into the studies. I'm afraid I can't trust her judgment enough to go away from this podcast with any inspiration to try out something she suggested for myself.
Best wishes from a colleague! (edited for clarity)
Exactly my thoughts here
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry….. the autistic mice section had me rolf. Anyone with a brain needs to go and watch prof Lord Bart Kay destroy this video of misinformation, lies and tomfoolery.
Absolutely! He rips this nonsense apart. It's beautiful.
No benefits to fasting? Sigh. I tuned out at this point.
Interesting you are rounding pen on your finger 😮
Follow the money.
the money of....the vegetable industry?
gut queen. looks like one
😂😂😂
I have difficulty taking advise on how to eat properly from someone who looks like they aren't sure either. The guest looks unwell herself
I think your guest is just wrong on much of what she said. Fiber does not do wonders for many people. It merely causes gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps. Cutting out dairy, grains, and starchy vegetables can help with inflammation. Reducing carbs, glucose, can reduce brain fog. Let’s also address that she looks a bit overweight. If she follows her own advice, why isn’t she trim?
I agree. My stomach issues went away when I decreased my fiber intake
exactly
@@mackenzie305 type of fiber may be your issue
Why do you have to bring her weight into this? It’s very rude
Health is not measured by weight and what she said is true in health perspective and fiber require water and many of us don't know how much water our body need.
Agree w her thoughts on intermittent fasting window prior to sleep rather than after sleep. Eating at night killed IF for me but what i really needed to do was take a shorter window but stop eating at 6pm. Happy w those results at cutting out some extra pounds. Wish she covered the environmental and animal welfare aspects of food. As we have proven, humans will do themselves in if we only think of ourselves. It is to our best interest to protect the environment, animal friends AND our own health. That is why organic IS better, why we should quit dairy and why we should be plant based. Theres a lot of overlap w environmental considerations and what she is saying. Love her awareness of body image, toxicity etc
Brilliant content. She knows her stuff!
LMAO you're joking right!
