In today’s podcast, you’ll hear a very special interview from our 2019 online summit with Dr. Neal Barnard.

In this episode, you’ll hear him speak about the connection between the foods you eat and your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Barnard has written an authoritative book on the topic of cheese. So we asked him why it’s so addicting and why cheese is so bad for your health.

He gave us some insight into the connection between casein from cow’s milk and type 1 diabetes

Dr. Barnard and his team at PCRM conduct a lot of scientific research that’s published in top journals. In this interview, we asked about his research findings and the underlying cause of insulin resistance based on his experience.

And of course, we talked all about ketogenic diets, including the plant-based version of a ketogenic diet.

There is a lot of gold in this interview so make sure to listen all the way to the end.

Before we get started, I’m quite excited to announce our 2021 summit.

So Cyrus and I have been running Mastering Diabetes summits since 2017. It’s a highlight of our year getting to bring together the world’s top experts in so many disciplines for one jam-packed event.

Today we are excited to be joined by Dr. Vivian Chen.

Dr. Chen has 14 years of experience as a doctor in the UK. She trained in internal medicine and dermatology in London before moving into Family Practice.

Today’s show is a bit different than many of our others because our conversation with Dr. Vivian Chen focuses on food, but also on specific environmental contaminants that can increase your risk for insulin resistance as well as other metabolic diseases.

It’s true that excess saturated fat is one of the most potent and reliable triggers of insulin resistance, as many published studies have shown

But beyond the saturated fat equation, there are many other aspects of daily life that can increase your risk for IR, including:

• • Weight gain
  • A sedentary lifestyle
  • Overconsumption of calories
  • Living in a high stress environment
  • A suppressed immune system, and
  • Excess alcohol intake (to name a few)

In today’s show, we’ll talk with Dr. Vivian Chen about the role that chemicals in your environment play in “disrupting” your endocrine health

We’ll talk about animal foods, tupperware, plastic bags, receipts, packaged food products, plastic water bottles, flame retardants, fish, and much much more

You can learn more about Dr. Vivian Chen by visiting her website at www.platefulhealth.com or stalking her on Instagram at plateful.health

We are excited to be joined by Dr. Joel Kahn.

Dr. Kahn is a cardiologist and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine and a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School.

He’s known as “America’s Holistic Heart Doc,” and has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He writes articles for MindBodyGreen, Thrive Global, and Reader’s Digest and has five books in publication including The Whole Heart Solution, Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuses as well as The Plant-Based Solution.

He has regular appearances on Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and Fox 2 News. He also recently debated with Chris Kresser about the evidence in support of plant-based diets on the Joe Rogan Experience and has been featured with Larry King Live in a recent special about heart health.

He also owns 2 health restaurants in Detroit and a food truck in Austin, Texas. How he accomplishes all of this is a complete mystery to us, but suffice it to say that Dr. Kahn is a MACHINE, he’s our favorite stand-up comedian, and we’re honored to call him a friend.

In this episode of the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience, we’ll cover:

• An article he recently wrote in which he referred to low-carbohydrate diets as “high-coffin” diets, because there is ample scientific evidence that low-carbohydrate diets actually increase your risk for premature death.
• Why, despite this, many health professionals teach people to INCREASE their intake of meat, cheese, fish, eggs, and vegetable oil, claiming that it’s the best way to “reverse” type 2 diabetes specifically because they are low in carbohydrate energy.
• What benefits would someone gain from becoming a plant-based low-carbohydrate eater?
• What are the exact benefits of short-term ketosis referenced by Dr. Valter Longo and how do those benefits change over time?
• What happens to blood lipids and specifically LDL cholesterol following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet?
• What happens to diabetes risk and blood glucose control following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet?
• If there was ONE THING you could say to teach people the truth about nutrition to clear up the confusion that the Internet promotes, what would it be?
