Seeing the extent of your comments, time stamps and all, made me feel warm inside🥰. Knowing I’m not alone in listening to what people say, for at times it seems listeners are scarce on the brink of extinction 🤓
Yes! Totally agree that stress is also a factor. I've spent the last 30 years teaching people to manage their stress. Thank you for educating people on stress as well.
Your story of being strong in life, but being in bed eating duffins really hit home. Presenting that confidently but vulnerably is hard, exposing and helpful. Thank you.
This is the most effective podcast I've seen about nutrition. I really appreciate how Max shows the obviousness of the necessity for us to eat as humans.
@@rednarok It's likely a matter of quantity as much as it is of frequency. Furthermore, many of the issues with meat consumption come from people consuming processed meats, as well as from the cooking methods. On that note, it's rather weird that I have come across dozens of studies of "red meat + processed meat consumption" downsides, lumping them in the same category and resulting in a "red meat is bad" conclusion, but not a single one that focuses just on red meat.
true, its kinda like the situation where most people who use a lighter in their pockets get lung cancer, but untill we dont have better studies im still on the side of getting rid of the cigarret and the lighter until we prove that the grass fed healthy cooked meat isn't bad for you. but i totally agree, its not easy to find out things with confidence since in vitro is alot diferent then in our whole bodies.@@Vlad-bs1js
I haven’t watched this yet but at the start of the year I switched to a strict Mediterranean diet and haven’t looked back. My mood is better, I have more energy and it even cleared up my skin.

First question from my midwife: do you eat meat? I do-asked her why? She said best indicator of successful pregnancy with minimal complications. Even then-was recommended to look at an old diet called the SPUN diet which advocated eating meat daily plus 2eggs a day plus organ meats once or twice a week.
I've got a "gluten sensitivity." I'm 90% sure it has nothing to do with gluten and everything to do with glyphosate. It's one of the reasons many people with gluten sensitivities can go to other countries where glyphosate isn't used and consume gluten without issue. What I need clarification on is why reactions seem to be specific to gluten.
I have this, as well. I used to love eating wheat and had no problems, now at 33 I have been forced to eliminate it from my diet. Some things I have learned: 1. About 25-30% of the population has a gene linked to Celiac, yet only 1% of the population has Celiac, but everyone who has Celiac has a gene for it. This indicates that the gene is required to develop the disease, but what about all of the people who have the gene yet no official disease? More scientific research needs to go into investigating this. One theory is that because it is a disease of degeneration, over time all people with the gene might go on to develop an intolerance, but for some it would take many years because they have a mild case. I fall into this category, and while nobody in my family has been diagnosed as celiac, across 4 generations there are 6 of us who can no longer tolerate gluten. Obviously something is going on! 2. Gluten is only one of a multitude of very complex compounds and structures found in wheat, rye and barley. Grains are really complicated plants, made only more so by humanity's thousands of years of cultivation. The wheat grown today (especially in the US) is nothing like its original grass form. Way higher yield, way more gluten, etc. Gluten itself is a chemical bond when the proteins gliaden and glutenin are exposed to water and thus form a disulfide bond structure. It's basically glue. This is why wheat paste is used to adhere unlike materials. (Ever try to rip off an old band poster from a metal stoplight pole? Yea its impossible thanks to wheat paste!) 3. When glyphosate and other industrial chemicals are used, they are causing damage in and of themselves. They're breaking down the cell wall in our gut lining, damaging our villi and creating gut permeability. What this means is that even if you normally would otherwise be able to tolerate gluten, now that gluten is able to invade your gut lining in a way it's not supposed to. This has the downstream consequences of reducing nutrient absorption and causing inflammation. 4. Gluten sensitivity is real, and it has real symptoms that can be serious. That said, it is still different from Celiac, as the latter is an auto-immune condition which mounts a systemic inflammatory response. The autoantbodies that are produced as a result are far more damaging to the gut. Someone with decades worth of damage from being an undiagnosed Celiac can have permanent scarring on their intestinal walls. No amount of gut healing and gluten-free diet will ever get them fully back to baseline. On the other hand, those with gluten sensitivity CAN heal their gut over time and eventually go on to be capable of tolerating small quantities of gluten. This is why after years of being gluten-free, some people say, "Oh I ate croissants in France and pasta in Italy!" They would likely have been unable to do so back when their gut was in a very damaged state.
It’s amazing how much they speak of gut issues but ignore them as a main issue for things like gluten “sensitivity”. They have weakened our guts for generations now since the beginning of the industrialization era (mothers with weak guts begetting children with weaker guts) coupled with insane greed. So much greed that who cares that real bread doesn’t have all the chemicals in it, it just makes it quicker and people don’t have time to make their own bread or food anymore. Due to these things we aren’t as aware of what we are really eating and don’t have time to care and cling to our “genetic” illnesses cuz science says so and it takes the responsibility off of our own choices. Then someone finds time to travel and they see things are a little different and they don’t get as sick when they eat foods from other countries. The madness and chaos is what makes things worse, because we are too broke to pay attention to own ourselves.
if you have a gluten sensitivity(not celiac) you should check out the European breads and learn about the Chorleywood bread process. North American bread isn't fermented the way most breads used to be.
It's this topic to challenge self and what you are capable of doing for self reflection and health also self awareness. And I can stand behind all of this. Take Care Cheers!
What a fantastic conversation. I learned so much. My mom has dementia and it’s a terrible disease. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, hypertension etc. As a child, I ate what is now considered not healthy. Mom was the cook. As an adult, ultra processed foods is not allowed in cart or house. Everything is as freshly made as is possible. I follow you and have read everything you wrote. Thank you for sharing this conversation. ❤
I work in an American restaurant and the customers who primarily buy pastries, muffins, and deserts are not only visually unhealthy but they also need extraordinary amounts of help understanding how to use the credit card reader etc. It is way too consistent to be a coincidence.
Wow! This conversation was on par with a 20 minute walk listening to your favorite music, after eating a dinner comprised of a grass fed ribeye, accompanied by an avocado, and a 30 minute body weight training exercise all mixed into one. Chris you are killing it with your unique personality and ability to engage your guests. Max, your genuine care and intellect are a brilliant and effective combination. Well done!
I personally like the idea of taxes on unhealthy items because those people then put a strain on the medical system in the future. Now where that money goes is another discussion
Macronutrients and micronutrients is a bio individual thing. Quality is important. Vote with your dollar. Support local, regenerative, and organic farmers as best as possible. Eat whole nutrient dense food. Eat the rainbow for YOUR body. If you having sweet cravings-your maybe not getting enough protein and/or fat. Changing my diet. Changed my life For years I have been in health and wellness world specifically bodywork, yoga, and Ayurveda. For years I was told by some they think I have gluten issues. I didn’t believe them. I was plant based too. I had severe chronic pain and depression and more. Gluten was kicking my arse. Leaky gut for sure. I have NCGS. Non celiac gluten sensitivity. Gluten attacks my brain, spine, ribs, knees, nervous system. Now I order my burger triple patty.
Im a young lady still in high school and I peer pressure my friends to eat more meat, dairy and eggs like me. They cant even donate blood their iron count is so low, its horrible.
Last week I tried the best cheese cake in the world made by my daughter.❤😂😂 I never like to eat cheese cake. Just until this time❤ It was really good. No added sugar❤❤
Does this have to do with the water expanding as it freezes, causing it to destroy the cell walls of the fruit? Or just a personal anecdote, that you’ve noticed it makes them taste like candy? Not trying to be facetious, just genuinely curious.
The titles of these videos. You are a madman, Chris. Interested to see if I can use this information to make my brain work better. Always looking for a cognitive leg up.
Crap, they're onto me. Part of the reason I use this name is just for awareness. People see it, look it up, and oh look, my food has a waterproofing agent.
Regulation is not the answer simply because the specifics of the implementation are never the way the intellectual envisions. They usually get skewed in all sorts of directions based for example on the big players in the market. This video is the better alternative to regulation, providing people with information.
These unimaginable horrors of 7 yrs tribulation seems to be the highlight content in most talk about end times/revelation. As post Trib, we want to know 1 HOW are believers protected (since we believers are not taking the mark ) 2. What are the roles of believers during these 7 yrs 3. Apart from preparing spiritually, what else should we do? - food?medicines? 4. What will we be expecting (realistic speaking here, all i see is death, death, death the most horrifying way) . How can we have hope since we r expecting death. 5. How can the body of christ do now and in those times.
Biggest issue for my family is the cost of Whole Foods and the time it takes to prepare it in the way the kids will eat it. We both work so much that we need things to be as quick as possible to prepare and affordable. I have not found out how to make this happen for us in a sustainable way. I would love to solve that puzzle.
One parent should stay at home with the child. Not feed them to the wolves into the factory... The parents should raise their kids not the government systems.
@@EllaLeaderman but the corrupt government and their wealthy donors are the ones who have stolen the ability to afford to have one parent stay home with the children. Our goal has always been to have only one working parent so we can focus on raising our children right. Every time we get closer to achieving that goal, another “crisis” seems to come along that makes my gains in earnings meaningless. My wife is continuously forced to go back to work because we just can’t afford to live otherwise. Believe me, the moment we can sustain basic needs with only me working, she will be home raising our children as planned. Wake me up when they stop spending or printing away our future. At this rate, it won’t matter how my kids turn out-they’ll be living at home indefinitely anyway. Idk what the solution is, but I work on finding one daily.
Soups. Potato soup. Pea soup. Broccoli soup. Just get a huge pot and make several kilos for two days for the entire family. Throw in some bacon or something and it can be really good and energizing food. The trick to a good soup is adding a lot of salt. The salt is healthy for you since the potassium from the potatoes perfectly balances it, salt is only bad for people if their balance is off. Salt also increases energy delivery and muscle performance and allows you to properly hydrate. It also preserves the soup so it can stay fresh several days in the refrigerator.
Love this convo, guys! Ice cream made at home is the best. You can sweeten it with whatever you want (or not) and ensure you’re using quality heavy cream and eggs. If you don’t add any flavors you can make it special every time. Sometimes I add high quality peanut butter and salt, sometimes I add fresh berries, you can make it whatever you want when you feel like. Plus, it has vitamins! 😂
You can also freeze bananas and blend them, add some cold cream and natural vanilla flavor or cacao powder and small chocolate pieces maybe even some amarena cherries . It's very good
Most people are completely oblivious to chemicals we consume everyday thinking they are food and their effects on the human body, I don't think you can get educated or paranoid enough on the subject. Atleast till the general population catches up to these subjects.
Great episode! I thought you were still vegan, Chris. I guessed however, that you would be honest and curious enough to speak to how it affects people in the long run 😎 Plants, seeds, nuts and grains - our 'normal' nutrition sources, have up to 125 known toxins. Meat has none. Regarding Alzheimer's and dementia and meat, a nursing home dude found that meat-based meals helped reverse some resident's symptoms. Many people are realising for themselves, that a carnivore diet is rather a toxin-free pathway than purely being about adding more protein and healthy fat. I am among them, and am experiencing baffling healing of multiple tiny issues after 1 month of eating only beef, butter and eggs. An experiment for sure. But uptil now, completely worth the initial first days of sugar cravings. Also saved quite a lot. Since veggies cost far more per pound and don't satiate me at all.
Sifting through the comments looking for a comment that succinctly outlines the episode and lists some of the bad foods…I see I’m too early. I’ll be checking back in a few hours hoping for a brief summary by some wonderful commenter.
As someone that dieted for years, I FINALLY achieved abs and 18% body fat by going on a high protein diet with plenty of vegetables. There are definitely people that overblow protein, but more Americans undervalue protein.
Really great podie again ... as for the Veganism ... I'm a 56 year old vegan ... no one is vegan because it's fun ... it's because it's what you believe... I couldn't U-turn on being vegan any more than stopping breathing... just saying
The question of causality between depression and food is extremely clear. Ask any celiac like myself. You could look at my years long diet log that also contains notes on physical and mental well being and you'll quickly see that everytime my digestion works well and i suffer no noticeable deficiency then both physical performance and mental performance and mood improve drastically. I experienced deficiency in many different nutrients. I think the most important one to look at is potassium. If you have low potassium your sleep quality gets bad. Bad sleep directly causes depressive behavior and irritability and on top of that add memory loss and dehydration because you need potassium as an electrolyte. But ultra processed food rarely contains enough potassium. Rice, White Bread, Pasta.. not enough in it. You need a large amount every day. If you don't eat nuts and seeds and a hefty amount of whole grain and no potatoes then you'll definitely have a deficiency. That gluten experiment might be true or false but I can tell you that it's not the reason for why people develop Gluten intolerance. I had issues for years and i didn't even know what Gluten was. Then eventually I found out i had celiac disease. When i find myself having digestive issues it often was a total surprise. Like Gluten in broccoli? Wtf i never expected it at first so when i had problems i searched for a long time until eventually I thought the only thing i hadn't checked was the frozen broccoli. Yes it said "contains traces of wheat". The actual reason people get it a lot today is because Gluten has rapidly increased in our diet. Wheat has been engineered to contain more Gluten. They use literally Gluten Flour. That's the name. They also no longer use sourdough but instead chemical accelerants. Sour dough in its days long process of resting removes nearly all Gluten down to a level of 200ppm. That's 1000x less than otherwise. Gluten always irritates the gut in all people so naturally after overexposure people develop an intolerance.
Having been vegan for 8 years and reintroducing animal products and unprocessed meats back into my diet in the last month, and already seeing significant physical and mental health improvements, this was kind of funny to listen too.
Fat and carbs keep me full but I need a large amount of carbs constantly to keep me satisfied. The best combo for me is high fat, high fibre and low wholewheat carb.
The increase in Alzheimer's risk for apoE4 based on what Max stated as the proportion of American's with Alzheimer's would be 1.66% base and an increased risk of 19.92% with apoE4 (that's based on 5mil of 300mil suffering from Alzheimer's). I tried to search for some public health stated numbers on Alzheimer risk and couldn't come across anything definitive. All the figures I found were split out relating to age brackets, rather than generalised so stuck with Max's figures as an approximation.
You're missing a key ingredient in regards to the ketogenic diet. It is low carb and also sugar is replaced with monkfruit, erythritol, allulose etc. It's a combination of many ingredient replacements.
Also, the diet is complex. What can one tolerate? My son-in-law cannot eat an Atkins bar or he is in the bathroom. I cannot eat vegetables they cause me inflammation. Spices take me to the bathroom. So you can think you’re eating a healthy diet but you’re not paying attention to how it makes you feel and what it is doing to your body. People don’t listen to their bodies anymore. I didn’t listen. Who could think that vegetables would cause inflammation? It wasn’t until I went on an elimination diet and then four months later try to eat the vegetables that I’m supposed to eat and I couldn’t walk that night because my joints hurt so bad and my hip which is a problem area was in massive pain. Pay attention to how you feel and what you are eating.
If you eat unprocessed, natural, whole plant foods, then you can eat until satiety because you'll naturally consume less calorie dense foods. The fatal flaw in ultra-processed and packaged foods is their calorie density.
It’s a great debate to watch a lot of interesting things in there to learn I’m just curious I would like to know how much meat should someone eat in a week just roughly.
Without processing, food additives, plastic packaging etc..there’d be a tsunami of grocery store waste, they’d make less money and create more waste, leading to less products offered. Chemicals often make the food we eat taste better, while chemicals make the product profitable.
I listened to this on my walk today and He sounds so much like Seth Rogan that's its hilarious to visualize. I had to check in with the video to reset my mind's eye.
@@cjay2I think both can be true. Going through a depressing season in life can lead to comfort foods and also ultra processed foods can cause depression
And the reason I don’t like artificial sweeteners, especially for dessert replacement is the cephalic phase. That’s where the brain doesn’t know that it’s not real sugar it just taste sweet and sense a message to the pancreas to release insulin in anticipation of glucose that never comes. Now you have the fat storing hormone roaming around your body needlessly
Dopamine!! That’s the drive toward ultra-processed high sugar foods. It’s a helluva drug. Maybe I missed one of you mentioning that along with dampening cortisol, but man, it’s harder for me to manage my sugar cravings and overconsumption than it was to quit heroin. Or maybe I just forget how hard that was seeing as how it was 13 years ago. Food is the final addiction (besides binge watching TH-cam) that has me trapped.
Same here but I'm actually winning the sugar fight tonight. I have some cookies...I'm not going to eat them. I have ice cream...it can wait until tomorrow. I'm eating too much sugar and it's awful to have to manage it like a functioning addict...but it's better than crack. Or alcohol or even weed. It comes in waves and at least I don't really gain weight or have too much ill affects from it, I just don't like being not in control of it. It's too much similar to the bad things we've battled.
We go for pancake when we are in very low energy becoz I think it is cheaper, good quality meat are expensive. I think "rich rich" people who are depressed might not binge eating snacks or high carb and saturated fat, they might go for wine or whisky or some type, because their palates are different. We are poor people go for foods that have been known to us since we are kids which unfortunately are high carb and saturated fat.
Selective Luddites would organize to upend the disproportionate distribution of profit away from investor groups and back to the communities responsible for creating the technology in the first place
Worked out eating too much crap food effected my mood a long time ago. If friends talk about feeling down I always suggest fresh fruit and vegetables, drink more water, exercise and then see how you feel
The good old fashioned values of back from the processed food and convenience food is frozen and adapted for the use of children can pick what they want, is to eat daily fresh food, greens and vegetables and potatoes and meats and fish and chicken and cheese, high in fibre or something like that excetra, now a day's, no attention to the value of the food is given to people who are needing to know what we are eating has been changed over the past decades.

This is the most effective podcast I've seen about nutrition. I really appreciate how Max shows the obviousness of the necessity for us to eat as humans.
eating meat doesnt mean having it everyday. there is a moderation for meat and the way we eat it now is definitely not it.
@@rednarok It's likely a matter of quantity as much as it is of frequency. Furthermore, many of the issues with meat consumption come from people consuming processed meats, as well as from the cooking methods. On that note, it's rather weird that I have come across dozens of studies of "red meat + processed meat consumption" downsides, lumping them in the same category and resulting in a "red meat is bad" conclusion, but not a single one that focuses just on red meat.
true, its kinda like the situation where most people who use a lighter in their pockets get lung cancer, but untill we dont have better studies im still on the side of getting rid of the cigarret and the lighter until we prove that the grass fed healthy cooked meat isn't bad for you.
but i totally agree, its not easy to find out things with confidence since in vitro is alot diferent then in our whole bodies.@@Vlad-bs1js

First question from my midwife: do you eat meat?
I do-asked her why? She said best indicator of successful pregnancy with minimal complications. Even then-was recommended to look at an old diet called the SPUN diet which advocated eating meat daily plus 2eggs a day plus organ meats once or twice a week.
I've got a "gluten sensitivity." I'm 90% sure it has nothing to do with gluten and everything to do with glyphosate. It's one of the reasons many people with gluten sensitivities can go to other countries where glyphosate isn't used and consume gluten without issue.
What I need clarification on is why reactions seem to be specific to gluten.
I have this, as well. I used to love eating wheat and had no problems, now at 33 I have been forced to eliminate it from my diet. Some things I have learned:
1. About 25-30% of the population has a gene linked to Celiac, yet only 1% of the population has Celiac, but everyone who has Celiac has a gene for it. This indicates that the gene is required to develop the disease, but what about all of the people who have the gene yet no official disease? More scientific research needs to go into investigating this. One theory is that because it is a disease of degeneration, over time all people with the gene might go on to develop an intolerance, but for some it would take many years because they have a mild case. I fall into this category, and while nobody in my family has been diagnosed as celiac, across 4 generations there are 6 of us who can no longer tolerate gluten. Obviously something is going on!
2. Gluten is only one of a multitude of very complex compounds and structures found in wheat, rye and barley. Grains are really complicated plants, made only more so by humanity's thousands of years of cultivation. The wheat grown today (especially in the US) is nothing like its original grass form. Way higher yield, way more gluten, etc. Gluten itself is a chemical bond when the proteins gliaden and glutenin are exposed to water and thus form a disulfide bond structure. It's basically glue. This is why wheat paste is used to adhere unlike materials. (Ever try to rip off an old band poster from a metal stoplight pole? Yea its impossible thanks to wheat paste!)
3. When glyphosate and other industrial chemicals are used, they are causing damage in and of themselves. They're breaking down the cell wall in our gut lining, damaging our villi and creating gut permeability. What this means is that even if you normally would otherwise be able to tolerate gluten, now that gluten is able to invade your gut lining in a way it's not supposed to. This has the downstream consequences of reducing nutrient absorption and causing inflammation.
4. Gluten sensitivity is real, and it has real symptoms that can be serious. That said, it is still different from Celiac, as the latter is an auto-immune condition which mounts a systemic inflammatory response. The autoantbodies that are produced as a result are far more damaging to the gut. Someone with decades worth of damage from being an undiagnosed Celiac can have permanent scarring on their intestinal walls. No amount of gut healing and gluten-free diet will ever get them fully back to baseline. On the other hand, those with gluten sensitivity CAN heal their gut over time and eventually go on to be capable of tolerating small quantities of gluten. This is why after years of being gluten-free, some people say, "Oh I ate croissants in France and pasta in Italy!" They would likely have been unable to do so back when their gut was in a very damaged state.
Get tested for food allergies. Also, you may have issues with FODMAPs.
It’s amazing how much they speak of gut issues but ignore them as a main issue for things like gluten “sensitivity”. They have weakened our guts for generations now since the beginning of the industrialization era (mothers with weak guts begetting children with weaker guts) coupled with insane greed. So much greed that who cares that real bread doesn’t have all the chemicals in it, it just makes it quicker and people don’t have time to make their own bread or food anymore. Due to these things we aren’t as aware of what we are really eating and don’t have time to care and cling to our “genetic” illnesses cuz science says so and it takes the responsibility off of our own choices. Then someone finds time to travel and they see things are a little different and they don’t get as sick when they eat foods from other countries. The madness and chaos is what makes things worse, because we are too broke to pay attention to own ourselves.
if you have a gluten sensitivity(not celiac) you should check out the European breads and learn about the Chorleywood bread process. North American bread isn't fermented the way most breads used to be.
Yep, pesticides + hybridization + overprocessing = "gluten intolerance"
What a dude. Thanks for the virtual into 🙂
It's this topic to challenge self and what you are capable of doing for self reflection and health also self awareness. And I can stand behind all of this. Take Care Cheers!
What a fantastic conversation. I learned so much. My mom has dementia and it’s a terrible disease. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, hypertension etc. As a child, I ate what is now considered not healthy. Mom was the cook. As an adult, ultra processed foods is not allowed in cart or house. Everything is as freshly made as is possible. I follow you and have read everything you wrote. Thank you for sharing this conversation. ❤
Just watched the trailer for Little Empty Boxes and nearly cried. Looks incredible.
I work in an American restaurant and the customers who primarily buy pastries, muffins, and deserts are not only visually unhealthy but they also need extraordinary amounts of help understanding how to use the credit card reader etc. It is way too consistent to be a coincidence.
Wonderful episode!
Great podcast to listen to during work, I loved the message, keep it up Chris
Wow! This conversation was on par with a 20 minute walk listening to your favorite music, after eating a dinner comprised of a grass fed ribeye, accompanied by an avocado, and a 30 minute body weight training exercise all mixed into one. Chris you are killing it with your unique personality and ability to engage your guests. Max, your genuine care and intellect are a brilliant and effective combination. Well done!
Another brilliant podcast, thamks guys!!
Allow and teach people, not regulate them.
I personally like the idea of taxes on unhealthy items because those people then put a strain on the medical system in the future. Now where that money goes is another discussion
I’ve been extremely lonely for 10 years. Haven’t had a friend in that long. Sat in my house and listened to podcast…. That’s my only socializing.
The food convos reminded me of Othorxia nervosa, the psychotic fixation on "righteous" eating
Lord i loved this conversation and with each progressing podcast i notice how much i resonate with Chris & have alot in common.
love love this episode....great hob guys❤❤❤
Chris, my remedy for nailing the after-dinner cravings... chocolate, almond meal, mug cake. Enjoy!
Macronutrients and micronutrients is a bio individual thing. Quality is important. Vote with your dollar. Support local, regenerative, and organic farmers as best as possible. Eat whole nutrient dense food. Eat the rainbow for YOUR body. If you having sweet cravings-your maybe not getting enough protein and/or fat. Changing my diet. Changed my life
For years I have been in health and wellness world specifically bodywork, yoga, and Ayurveda. For years I was told by some they think I have gluten issues. I didn’t believe them. I was plant based too. I had severe chronic pain and depression and more. Gluten was kicking my arse. Leaky gut for sure. I have NCGS. Non celiac gluten sensitivity. Gluten attacks my brain, spine, ribs, knees, nervous system. Now I order my burger triple patty.
Im a young lady still in high school and I peer pressure my friends to eat more meat, dairy and eggs like me. They cant even donate blood their iron count is so low, its horrible.
Great show! Please invite Ido Portal for an episode. I think many would love to see that! All the best!

To help Chris out on sweet options: freeze dried fruit, especially blueberries. Turns fruit into candy without adding anything
Does this have to do with the water expanding as it freezes, causing it to destroy the cell walls of the fruit? Or just a personal anecdote, that you’ve noticed it makes them taste like candy?
Not trying to be facetious, just genuinely curious.

These unimaginable horrors of 7 yrs tribulation seems to be the highlight content in most talk about end times/revelation.
As post Trib, we want to know
1 HOW are believers protected (since we believers are not taking the mark )
2. What are the roles of believers during these 7 yrs
3. Apart from preparing spiritually, what else should we do? - food?medicines?
4. What will we be expecting (realistic speaking here, all i see is death, death, death the most horrifying way) . How can we have hope since we r expecting death.
5. How can the body of christ do now and in those times.
The ad timing/placement at 21:52 is impeccably ironic lmao
Chris, please please get Prof Thomas Seigfried from Boston uni.... fascinating man on cancer
Amazing one!
Biggest issue for my family is the cost of Whole Foods and the time it takes to prepare it in the way the kids will eat it. We both work so much that we need things to be as quick as possible to prepare and affordable. I have not found out how to make this happen for us in a sustainable way. I would love to solve that puzzle.
One parent should stay at home with the child. Not feed them to the wolves into the factory... The parents should raise their kids not the government systems.
@@EllaLeaderman but the corrupt government and their wealthy donors are the ones who have stolen the ability to afford to have one parent stay home with the children. Our goal has always been to have only one working parent so we can focus on raising our children right. Every time we get closer to achieving that goal, another “crisis” seems to come along that makes my gains in earnings meaningless. My wife is continuously forced to go back to work because we just can’t afford to live otherwise. Believe me, the moment we can sustain basic needs with only me working, she will be home raising our children as planned. Wake me up when they stop spending or printing away our future. At this rate, it won’t matter how my kids turn out-they’ll be living at home indefinitely anyway. Idk what the solution is, but I work on finding one daily.
Soups. Potato soup. Pea soup. Broccoli soup. Just get a huge pot and make several kilos for two days for the entire family. Throw in some bacon or something and it can be really good and energizing food. The trick to a good soup is adding a lot of salt. The salt is healthy for you since the potassium from the potatoes perfectly balances it, salt is only bad for people if their balance is off. Salt also increases energy delivery and muscle performance and allows you to properly hydrate. It also preserves the soup so it can stay fresh several days in the refrigerator.
@@witoldschwenke9492 thank you!

I'm sure i heard ice cream was healthier than fruit.......?
@21:47 hilarious ad break juxtaposition lol
so the cartels Will now be selling Actual skittles in addition to the fentanyl laced ones?
Excellent
Hey Chris, do you have a skincare routine?
Love this convo, guys!
Ice cream made at home is the best. You can sweeten it with whatever you want (or not) and ensure you’re using quality heavy cream and eggs. If you don’t add any flavors you can make it special every time.
Sometimes I add high quality peanut butter and salt, sometimes I add fresh berries, you can make it whatever you want when you feel like. Plus, it has vitamins! 😂
You can also freeze bananas and blend them, add some cold cream and natural vanilla flavor or cacao powder and small chocolate pieces maybe even some amarena cherries . It's very good

Great episode!
I thought you were still vegan, Chris. I guessed however, that you would be honest and curious enough to speak to how it affects people in the long run 😎
Plants, seeds, nuts and grains - our 'normal' nutrition sources, have up to 125 known toxins.
Meat has none.
Regarding Alzheimer's and dementia and meat, a nursing home dude found that meat-based meals helped reverse some resident's symptoms.
Many people are realising for themselves, that a carnivore diet is rather a toxin-free pathway than purely being about adding more protein and healthy fat.
I am among them, and am experiencing baffling healing of multiple tiny issues after 1 month of eating only beef, butter and eggs.
An experiment for sure. But uptil now, completely worth the initial first days of sugar cravings. Also saved quite a lot. Since veggies cost far more per pound and don't satiate me at all.
Love this episode so far. And love your vulnerability, Chris.
Sifting through the comments looking for a comment that succinctly outlines the episode and lists some of the bad foods…I see I’m too early. I’ll be checking back in a few hours hoping for a brief summary by some wonderful commenter.
9:54 That's all I needed to hear. Yoink!🏃🏾♂🏃🏾♂🏃🏾♂
As someone that dieted for years, I FINALLY achieved abs and 18% body fat by going on a high protein diet with plenty of vegetables.
There are definitely people that overblow protein, but more Americans undervalue protein.
Really great podie again ... as for the Veganism ... I'm a 56 year old vegan ... no one is vegan because it's fun ... it's because it's what you believe... I couldn't U-turn on being vegan any more than stopping breathing... just saying
Max is the man.
I can absolutely confirm I killed my chronic depression by cleaning up my diet and going to the gym regularly
The question of causality between depression and food is extremely clear. Ask any celiac like myself. You could look at my years long diet log that also contains notes on physical and mental well being and you'll quickly see that everytime my digestion works well and i suffer no noticeable deficiency then both physical performance and mental performance and mood improve drastically. I experienced deficiency in many different nutrients. I think the most important one to look at is potassium. If you have low potassium your sleep quality gets bad. Bad sleep directly causes depressive behavior and irritability and on top of that add memory loss and dehydration because you need potassium as an electrolyte. But ultra processed food rarely contains enough potassium. Rice, White Bread, Pasta.. not enough in it. You need a large amount every day. If you don't eat nuts and seeds and a hefty amount of whole grain and no potatoes then you'll definitely have a deficiency.
That gluten experiment might be true or false but I can tell you that it's not the reason for why people develop Gluten intolerance. I had issues for years and i didn't even know what Gluten was. Then eventually I found out i had celiac disease. When i find myself having digestive issues it often was a total surprise. Like Gluten in broccoli? Wtf i never expected it at first so when i had problems i searched for a long time until eventually I thought the only thing i hadn't checked was the frozen broccoli. Yes it said "contains traces of wheat". The actual reason people get it a lot today is because Gluten has rapidly increased in our diet. Wheat has been engineered to contain more Gluten. They use literally Gluten Flour. That's the name. They also no longer use sourdough but instead chemical accelerants. Sour dough in its days long process of resting removes nearly all Gluten down to a level of 200ppm. That's 1000x less than otherwise. Gluten always irritates the gut in all people so naturally after overexposure people develop an intolerance.
If I trusted the gov, this would be not nearly as objectionable.
I'm guessing you must be English...😅
You're trusting politicians again? In the papers they 'ban' something. Let me know when it is no longer in the product. K?
Keto is not done by trickery and carb counting... just do it by eating meats, cheese, butter and green veggies - simple works.
good nuance!!
Having been vegan for 8 years and reintroducing animal products and unprocessed meats back into my diet in the last month, and already seeing significant physical and mental health improvements, this was kind of funny to listen too.
Very interesting!
Fat and carbs keep me full but I need a large amount of carbs constantly to keep me satisfied. The best combo for me is high fat, high fibre and low wholewheat carb.
The increase in Alzheimer's risk for apoE4 based on what Max stated as the proportion of American's with Alzheimer's would be 1.66% base and an increased risk of 19.92% with apoE4 (that's based on 5mil of 300mil suffering from Alzheimer's).
I tried to search for some public health stated numbers on Alzheimer risk and couldn't come across anything definitive. All the figures I found were split out relating to age brackets, rather than generalised so stuck with Max's figures as an approximation.
You're missing a key ingredient in regards to the ketogenic diet. It is low carb and also sugar is replaced with monkfruit, erythritol, allulose etc. It's a combination of many ingredient replacements.
Also, the diet is complex. What can one tolerate? My son-in-law cannot eat an Atkins bar or he is in the bathroom. I cannot eat vegetables they cause me inflammation. Spices take me to the bathroom. So you can think you’re eating a healthy diet but you’re not paying attention to how it makes you feel and what it is doing to your body. People don’t listen to their bodies anymore. I didn’t listen. Who could think that vegetables would cause inflammation? It wasn’t until I went on an elimination diet and then four months later try to eat the vegetables that I’m supposed to eat and I couldn’t walk that night because my joints hurt so bad and my hip which is a problem area was in massive pain. Pay attention to how you feel and what you are eating.
If you eat unprocessed, natural, whole plant foods, then you can eat until satiety because you'll naturally consume less calorie dense foods. The fatal flaw in ultra-processed and packaged foods is their calorie density.
It’s a great debate to watch a lot of interesting things in there to learn I’m just curious I would like to know how much meat should someone eat in a week just roughly.
Great guy
These two absolute legends talking about a chemical compound called "Bro-Mate". Yeah, I think we can watch this.
Harvard study in the ‘70’s showed that gluten damages the gut in all humans. Most of us heal almost as fast as we damage it.
J*sus said to them, “A prophet is treated with honor everywhere except in his own hometown, among his relatives, and in his own house.”
Mark ch 6 v 4
Without processing, food additives, plastic packaging etc..there’d be a tsunami of grocery store waste, they’d make less money and create more waste, leading to less products offered.
Chemicals often make the food we eat taste better, while chemicals make the product profitable.
I listened to this on my walk today and He sounds so much like Seth Rogan that's its hilarious to visualize. I had to check in with the video to reset my mind's eye.
8:56 85-90% cocoa chocolate does the trick. it’s healthy, coats all the tastebuds for minutes, and too bitter to have more than a couple bites.
Ok so if you want dementia
Eat junk food

Stay at home and do nothing
GOT IT THANKS
Question is what's first, depression or the ultra-processed foods....
There's nothing to debate here. What do you think came first?
@@cjay2I think both can be true. Going through a depressing season in life can lead to comfort foods and also ultra processed foods can cause depression
kinda like the question of who came first the egg or the chicken.
And the reason I don’t like artificial sweeteners, especially for dessert replacement is the cephalic phase. That’s where the brain doesn’t know that it’s not real sugar it just taste sweet and sense a message to the pancreas to release insulin in anticipation of glucose that never comes. Now you have the fat storing hormone roaming around your body needlessly
Dopamine!! That’s the drive toward ultra-processed high sugar foods. It’s a helluva drug. Maybe I missed one of you mentioning that along with dampening cortisol, but man, it’s harder for me to manage my sugar cravings and overconsumption than it was to quit heroin. Or maybe I just forget how hard that was seeing as how it was 13 years ago. Food is the final addiction (besides binge watching TH-cam) that has me trapped.
Same here but I'm actually winning the sugar fight tonight. I have some cookies...I'm not going to eat them. I have ice cream...it can wait until tomorrow. I'm eating too much sugar and it's awful to have to manage it like a functioning addict...but it's better than crack. Or alcohol or even weed. It comes in waves and at least I don't really gain weight or have too much ill affects from it, I just don't like being not in control of it. It's too much similar to the bad things we've battled.
We go for pancake when we are in very low energy becoz I think it is cheaper, good quality meat are expensive.
