Live It NOT Diet! FAQs – Best Tests for Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Dementia
After posting “A Family History of Heart Disease is Total BS” and uploading my “Heart Disease Deception” video on YouTube, I’ve had many questions regarding the best tests for determining your cardiovascular risk. And similarly, what biomarkers to look at when trying to assess your insulin sensitivity, and risk of diabetes and dementia. If you…
Should Everyone Eat More Fruit?
The government recommends 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, and we’re frequently encouraged to increase our intake whenever possible. But what if most (or all) of those servings are fruit? Should we add more fruit to a the typical North American’s diet – that’s already far too in carbohydrates (glucose) – and typical…
Pushing for the Perfect Poop – Using Your Stool as a Prevention Tool
Bowel movements are one of the best gauges of health. So it’s unfortunate to hear that people are uneducated on the topic, and ignoring clear signs of dysfunction. But perhaps we can blame western medicine for that – as they’d rather take your blood pressure, look in your ears and write-up a prescription then ask…
Olive Oil – When to Use it & What to Look For
Though fats that are predominantly monounsaturated are more stable than polyunsaturated options (vegetable and seed oils), they’re still susceptible to heat. As we’ve learned, cooking with UNsaturated fats (mono or poly) is not wise because of the health risks associated with oxidation – which can occur at any point from oil extraction to your kitchen…
Food & Fitness Opportunity Cost – Are You Prioritizing The Right Priorities?
In life we make choices. And generally the prioritization of these choices revolves around resources. With time being the most precious. For example: We don’t stay up for another episode on Netflix because we work in 10hrs, and we like getting 8hrs of sleep. Or: We play 9 holes on Sunday instead of 18 because…
Ending the Vegetarian Debate Before it Starts
As stated perfectly in 1995 in the journal Current Anthropology: “The incorporation of increasingly greater amounts of animal products into the diet was essential in the development of the large human brain.” Yet so-called health experts continue to recommend and promote meat-free diets? Realistically, there shouldn’t be a ‘debate’ with information like this. As even…
No Salt, Butter, Red Meat, or Coffee? Doc’s Got it All Wrong
Middle aged guy goes into the doctor and discovers he’s on the verge of heart disease. So along with instructing him to take a statin, the doctor tells him to eat less fat and more fiber, stop drinking coffee, and cut down on salt. Because everyone knows: The statin and fiber will lower his cholesterol…
The Elderly Should Train For Strength & Muscle NOT Endurance
As I hope you’ve taken away from this blog (and my books), doing ‘cardio’ isn’t keeping you young at all. It supports muscle atrophy, accelerates cell damage, and wastes time that could’ve been spent building a stronger, more well-functioning physique. Our health doesn’t diminish with age because of bad cardio, it diminishes because of low…
