Episode 2480 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Zöe Harcombe and they discuss calling out researchers for skewing the numbers for breast cancer screening, HPV, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/skewing-the-numbers-dr-zoe-harcombe-episode-2480 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Skewing the Numbers Dr. Harcome addresses health and wellness claims and debunks them when necessary. (3:00) One of the more recent articles was centered around red meat causing T2 diabetes. Another article claims intermittent fasting will cause cardiac death. (4:15) She shares a recent experience at a conference and addresses intermittent fasting. (7:00) She points out the details and explains how information was gathered. The headline is based on 31 people; however, the starting numbers of the study were significantly higher. This means that the entire study only used 1.5% of the information gathered. The report is then based on skewing the numbers. The next headline has to do with breast cancer screening. (27:00) There are very specific instances where highly extensive treatment may not have been necessary for some women. (33:00) The problem with this is that chemotherapy is toxic as well. Things like having the BRCA1 gene are not included in this, and shouldn't be; that is a different circumstance. HPV discussion: What is the current information about HPV? (39:00) Back to the breast cancer screening, Dr. Harcombe shares more information. (45:00) She shares how she personally approaches screening. They chat a bit about Princess Kate of the British Royal family and her recent hospital stay. (55:00) Belly Reduction Dr. Harcombe touches on a report about kimchi. (1:00:00 ) The claim says it can reduce "beer belly," but the standards of obesity are much different in Korea than they are in the West. A "beer belly" in Korea is a 32" waist. You also need to see who funds the studies—as usual, follow the money. Also, places like Harvard push an agenda; funding doesn’t happen unless your study follows the agenda. (1:05:00) The system creates the narrative. (1:06:00) Dr. Harcombe shares what it takes to get research published; it’s difficult, especially since her studies tend to go against the narrative.

(44:00) Some folks struggle with the idea of breaking a streak and not being able to start again.

Episode 2471 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Nadir Ali and they discuss a variety of upsides and downsides of GLP-1, autophagy, bineging, seed oils, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/upsides-downsides-with-dr-nadir-ali-epsidoe-2471 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Upsides and Downsides Dr. Nadir Ali has been keeping a streak of riding his bike to work. (3:30) He sees benefits through managing food addiction with streaks. (7:00) They discuss overdoing exercise, with no rest. Some people have a fear of not getting back into it if they miss a day. Dr Nadir has a general rule that streaks can be beneficial as long as its not at the detriment of something else. Vinnie asks Nadir's opinion about Allulose & GLP-1 agonists. (13:00) Naidir has a lot of clinical experience, so he sees things on a day-to-day basis. Yes, there are benefits for some people, but there are a lot of downsides, too. Vinnie challenges some aspects of using a GLP-1. (24:00) Nadir agrees that it’s only effective if a person does low-carb and intermittent fasting, (which is something Vinnie recommends without having to use the drug anyway.) (28:00) Additional Concerns There are upsides and downsides at certain levels of autophagy. (31:00) Too long of an extended fast can affect muscles. Vinnie asks Nadir about a low-carb, high fat being effective for weight loss and other metabolic issues. (36:00) There are instances where it may not be quite as effective. Are seed oils a detriment to health? They become a part of your cell membranes and do damage. (43:00) He gives an example of how it affects the retina. One single benefit you can do is to get seed oils out of your diet. Seed oils are ubiquitous in restaurants and included in most packaged foods. Binge eating - what can people do to help themselves? (53:00)  Nadir has been looking into the pleasure centers of the brain in order to understand binge eating. Dopamine is the driver for the craving or behavior—but it doesn’t really have much to do with the pleasure. In fact, as dopamine goes up, pleasure can actually decrease.
