I spend alot of my time listening to podcasts, when I can, due to a mTBI that I've got Without a doubt these conversations on the brain doctors are just so intellectually stimulating and a pleasure to listen to. They allow people to speak fluidly without interruption and ask questions that are very cognitively so well put. Great talk.❤. Love the brain doctors. Thank you for your amazing work.
Thank you, Dr. Katz, for bring us down to Earth. The issue of empowering the general population of the US with access to healthful food and accurate nutritional information (and its effect on disease and health) is far more meaningful than if we are just sharing and sparing with each other on social media regarding the best healthful diet (because we’re already pursuing it). I still want to get deep into the details to choose the best for myself, but I am now more interested in focusing my effort to help others start the journey to a healthful, Earth-friendly diet. Thank you Drs. Dean and Ayesha for your work.
In my opinion, Dr Katz looks at the big picture, focusing on the common denominator in the food equation. Too many doctors lean one way or the other in the spectrum of healthy eating. We need simplicity and not confusion. Thank you.
1 Vegan isn’t a diet. 2 No one’s picking up a fish and taking a bite. Seem to be fixated on cooking things we wouldn’t eat otherwise. You’re almost there doc, just a little more thinking. ;) But yeah reeling in the lost and confused to a “common denominator” of mostly plants is a good step in this unfortunate situation we’re all in. Oils oh boy. Imagine eating an apple without oil on it? Imagine eating cherries without oil on them? Imagine eating a carrot with oil on it? Come on. Still a few steps away but nice to see these doctors on the right track. You’re eating the wrong foods if you need to add oil to it.
What a fantastic interview! This interview deserves to be heard/watched by everyone. It is so refreshing to hear voices of reason. So many podcasts on nutrition advocate one particular diet where there's no compromise or agreement over the 'common denominators'. I live in the UK and was raised on a traditional Indian diet - vegetarian curries, some dairy, lots of herbs and spices, fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds etc. Virtually all of the food I ate as a child was homemade by my mum using traditional methods handed down to her by her mother. I continued to eat a healthy diet with virtually no ultra processed food as an adult, but then out of the blue, I started to experience health issues including food sensitivities and allergies, which steadily became worse. To cut a long story short I was diagnosed as being perimenopausal last year and it's affected virtually every aspect of my health. I am now trying to heal my body by improving my gut microbiome as my hormones are disrupting it so badly. I try to avoid the nutrition fanatics as they don't do nuance or think about personalised nutrition. Instead I love listening to yourselves, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, Prof. Tim Spector (Kings College London), Prof. Christopher Gardner and Justin and Erics Sonenburg at Stanford University instead as they make it clear that they don't know all of the answers, but they are doing quality research to get some of those answers. They all advocate a predominantly plant based, whole food diet, but they acknowledge that some people will do better on a high carb/low fat diet, whereas others will thrive on a high fat/low carb diet, others will eat meat, fish, dairy and be fine, whereas others won't. Please keep up your amazing work and continue to share your knowledge with those of us who are willing to listen.
36:40 - do we actually have any outcome data to suggest that highly refined olive oil leads to worse health outcomes when compared to “the good stuff” (as David describes it)… I’d argue that those endothelial function studies are weak evidence on the basis that they’re post-prandial and don’t inform us at all about the long term health effects of consuming olive oil.
My question about the olive oil in blue zones, though, would be, back in the day when these centenarianswere growing up, was olive oil as available as it is now? Im guessing not?
I bought David's book a couple of years back, he is a bit of a gadfly. I bristled at it a bit at first, but now I like to hear more questioning of the things I thought (or was confused over). I recall having some EVOO from a store in Waterloo (think of the snobby deli store on the tv show 'Frazier'). The sample was very sharp and grassy tasting. The typical store oil is really a different product, especially if you buy it in those very large tins (how could that not go bad before you finish it?).
I'm sure Dr. Katz has some useful things to say about nutrition, but ever since he published some pretty abysmal covid-minimizing articles in 2020, it's hard to hold him in high esteem.
The knowledge necessary for discussion of relevant information about healthful nutrition for populations of people is all here...but for the individual...the advice of eat food...mostly plants...not too much...is complete bs and even harmful. Since my youth I did exactly that...I rarely cheated and in the last 15 years...not at all. I developed hbp and a calcified aorta...which now requires drugs to manage. Too late I discovered that nuts and seeds are very harmful. This may also be true for avocados. Finally more knowledgeable...I have dropped bp and have much better blood flow. Stripping fat did not dry my skin or hair...just the opposite. Now I can run up a hill when before, following the aforementioned advice.. I couldn't walk up one.. Yes the world will be healthier if Katz's advice is followed...but for me...I'm more interested in staying in the world in a healthier condition myself.
Interesting. We live in interesting times! When a Yale professor of medicine and nutrition, who has repeatedly, demonstrated evidence for scientific discernment, is called a quack, and some young man, who is a social influencer, makes it to Joe Rogan, speaking on nutrition and brain health based on his personal interpretations. The divide is so great that debate is meaningless.
@@TheBrainDocs "a Yale professor of medicine and nutrition" this seems to be the biggest problem in our times. There are a lot of brainwashed/stupid or/and corrupted "professors" that follow whatever agenda the government / university wants to push to the masses. Joe Rogan is just a regular dude that speaks with people about various topics, and regarding social influencers that speak about nutrition there, why not, why wouldn't they speak (especially if they speak about their own experiences)? In these interesting times we live in, you don't even need primary school to be a wise, well informed person and have deep understanding about certain topics of your interest. We are blessed with access to a lot of information, it's all about having enough logic to determine what makes sense and what doesn't.
@mtervarecrd7420 that's the problem right there: because there's cynicism towards government and elites, someone thinks that 1) it's all garbage and should be disregarded and 2) thinks thst his or her common sense if sound enought to override tons of scientific evidence. 3) it also demonstrates how little auch a person understands how science work and 4) is actually playing into what all great corporations, multinationals, or terrosist states are hoping to take advance of: increasing confusion and noise. Bravo. You feel right into this trap by thinking you are smarter than people being specialists in their fieds. Go one and build a rocket in your backyard, and fly it... And typically, rhis person just so happen to agree with whatever comfort them in the behaviors and attitudes they favor, resulting in the comfortable situation where they can keep doing just as they've always been doing...
This was brilliant. I learned so much. Thank you all.

Nobody is picking up a coconut and taking a bite out of it either.

The one thing you need to do for brain health: cut sugar. I promise. Man, I promise.

I go with gadfly.

If he's a quack, prove it. Don't make me blindly believe you.

quack ... who pays for your research?
How is he a quack? I bet you can't answer.
