Decades ago I heard the phrase "After lunch, rest a while. After dinner, walk a mile". Now we know the reasoning behind that. I don't have much insulin resistance, but still, I like to do an easy 10 - 15 minutes walking after dinner. I just do it in the corridor of my apartment building.
I am an endocrinologist from india...i find all your discussions wonderful. Great work. But i find most of them fall short of giving clear cut message for general public except for professor Christopher Gardner
Simon a day ago I ended up having conversation about metabolic health and mainly lipids with a cardiologist and a family doctor. Both of them started the conversation with me looking from high above saying “here another podcast lover”. I gotta say I felt so gunned up with all the knowledge from your podcasts (also from Nutrition made simple, Layne and plant chompers) that it didn’t take more than 4 minutes for them to realise that they have reconsider their view 😂
4 years ago I got diagnosed with sarcoidosis in my lymph nodes near my lungs. After 9 months on steroids and many more months on pain killers for residual reactive arthritis, the one that has had the biggest impact at reducing my reactive arthritis symptoms is diet. I only worked this out end 2023. When I eat sugary foods, (or get sick) my symptoms worsen. Needless to say I have altered my diet significantly, much more plants, less animals, less sugars. This has had such a profound impact I wish my specialist knew how much of an impact diet had. I would have implemented this years ago.
I found I could lower my LDL via diet alone by about 30 points *for 3 months* and then my motivation and adherence began to slip. One word: cheese.This experience gives me a lot of sympathy for people who struggle with dieting, who decide to use glp1 meds or get surgery, and who walk away from dieting. I thought that since I wasn't restricting calories, the diet change would be easier to stick with. Sigh. I'm on two meds for the lipids. Definitely work the behavioral side of things, along with your brilliant and clear strategy. (Fiber and exercise come naturally to me. I'll give tracking protein a go. Tofu and sardines are my shortcuts.)
@TheProofWithSimonHill When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. With your educational approach and inspirational lifestyle, I have lost about 10% of my body weight (mostly fat) going whole-food plant-based. More recently, I added more polyunsaturated fats (again, after your recent episodes). I will be getting a blood test soon to measure my health markers (using your free guide). I believe it will go well, as I feel better than I have felt for a few years. I find myself listening to you more than any other. I grow weary of the "noise" from other podcasts. Thank you for believing people can improve their lifestyle and providing the information needed, something I haven't received from my medical docs or elsewhere. 🤗🤗🤗
@@TheProofWithSimonHill Will do. btw you mentioned Herman Ponzer. My rock climbing partner and I were subjects a study he and Elaine Kozma did in 2015. It was fun pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34160049/
@@AmberAlcivar I have never heard of this supplement but have been intrigued for years by the evidence that lithium may slow the progression of Alzheimers. Are you saying it could be an alternative to lipid lowering medications? I would probably add it rather than swap it in.
Around minute 2:40 Simon agreed with the other two that a very high carb diet could be unhealthy because it would push out fats and protein... but as long as legumes, avocados and nuts remain to be plant foods, we do not need to be unhealthy and short-changed of protein and fats with very high carb wfpb diets.
If we just stopped using terms like carbs, fat and protein and talked about actual real food vs processed food like substances people would have an easier time understanding 😊
@@MistyBell13 What's the reason that refined food wouldn't be "real"? I understand the need to highlight the superiorities of whole grains and such, but I don't see how it would be logical to say that refined food isn't food.
I feel the post-menopausal HRT needs clarifying again, cause I am hearing differing opinions even on your podcast. Could you bring Roberta Diaz Brinton in or someone not involved with the HRT industry or selling a book?
This. The HRT study he mentioned was done on much older women. It's ridiculous how people continue to scare women from estrogen but hand testosterone to men like candy.
I have worked with individuals with eating disorders, obesity, etc for many years. There are ways to overcome “food noise” without the use of GLP-agonists. Assuming that people need dietary interventions similar to the Minnesota project is absurd. Many obese individuals can navigate this without that drug. It takes effort, but can readily be done.
NICE JOB SIMON!!! Keep up the great work. Lot of awesome gems of knowledge in this one. PS... did you get to hangout with Nemai and Simnett during their last visit to LA with the Vedge crew?
Crazy that 30 grams of fibre is a struggle for most people, those of us on wfpb average at least that for every thousand calories consumed! I average 70 grams a day and only eat 2000 calories a day
there are recipes online for cultured cashew cheese (see zerowastechef) but gets labor intensive. Most the fermented plant cheeses I see in the stores unfortunately contain coconut oil. I bought a soy milk maker and have an instant pot and make my own soy milk and yogurt in those appliances. Its not too much extra work when you get in the flow. You can also buy starter cultures for kefir and works great in soy milk (have not tried in any other plant milk).
Simon, I can’t be the only one struggling to lose weight! I heard Normotim could help with cravings and keeping your mood steady. Has anyone seen results with it?
French people would pronounce “Claude” to rhyme with “Road” instead of “Rod” or “Clawed”. I’m no language expert but it’s always been weird to me that the pronunciation is different, given that the English language has that sound.
@suzanneemerson2625 lol I knew that. What I meant is that regular table salt that is bleached and processed is poison. However our bodies need salt and the minerals in it is good. That's what I'm talking about.
We get too little advanced actionable advice from these. What did we learn? 30g protein/meal (how many meals?), 30g fibre, 30 minutes of activity will be tested.
1:19:11 this is a great insight. Dieting and starving myself to get to an optimal weight ...i always get obsessed with food. Completely. The only way to get out of it really is to not diet. Then i gain weight eating a little super normal food each day (chocolate pretzels!). This is a big challenge.

Correlating discipline and IQ is getting very old. An excellent example of Sartre's bad faith. If medication and/or surgery is your choice to kick-start weight loss, own it; do it; move on.
Thanks for your comment. My comment refers to the guest's suggestion: (paraphrasing): even brilliant physicians cannot always control their weight with discipline. It is a sympathetic way to indicate how can the average IQ person control his/her problems. If someone tried discipline and it did not work, try a second path. It is a discipline problem not an IQ problem. I listen to and enjoy several, excellent science-based podcasts like yours. This bias shows up in them as well. I am 78 and may see podcasts through a different prism than younger folks. Thanks for all your efforts. Great podcasts and certainly pertinent information.

Keyword ‘could’ - if it meant insufficient protein and/or polyunsaturated fats. But as you know, I’m all for unrefined sources of carbs!

Hi.Here's a Dietician listening from Fiji 🇫🇯. Nice to be listening to this podcast
Thanks for listening
Brilliant episode!
This is another great interview!! Thank you very much for sharing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I feel the post-menopausal HRT needs clarifying again, cause I am hearing differing opinions even on your podcast. Could you bring Roberta Diaz Brinton in or someone not involved with the HRT industry or selling a book?
Pls listen to the eps with Susan Davis
This. The HRT study he mentioned was done on much older women. It's ridiculous how people continue to scare women from estrogen but hand testosterone to men like candy.
@@TheProofWithSimonHillSimon. Why did you not challenge him on this. The study he mentioned was outdated
So, one of the questions that I have and that I rarely hear answered in depth is can women start HRT Well after menopause, after 60 for example?
Amazing interview, thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Assuming that people need dietary interventions similar to the Minnesota project is absurd. Many obese individuals can navigate this without that drug. It takes effort, but can readily be done.

Enjoyed this interview Simon. Keep them coming. What about menopausal woman didn't hear much on this.
Have you listened to my episodes with Drs Susan Davis and Jen Gunter?
NICE JOB SIMON!!! Keep up the great work. Lot of awesome gems of knowledge in this one. PS... did you get to hangout with Nemai and Simnett during their last visit to LA with the Vedge crew?
I didn’t unfortunately! But I see Nimai regularly
Great interview, Simon. Chock full of valuable information. 👏👍🕵️🤔
Glad it was helpful!
I pay attention to calorie intake when I want to lose weight. Eat a little under your normal calories and you will lose weight.
Should I be worried about lead levels in psyllium husk?
if I eat only two meals a day, does 30 30 30 become 45 30 30 ? They are saying 90g protein/day, correct?
Yep! That’s a good solve for 2 meals a day
I wish this had closed captioning 😢
You can turn subtitles on
Great interview, thank you 😃 @@TheProofWithSimonHill
@@kathymcgraw4495 No, it is not possible, subtitles not available
The captions should appear shortly.
What do you eat to get 30g of protein in each meal?
Crazy that 30 grams of fibre is a struggle for most people, those of us on wfpb average at least that for every thousand calories consumed! I average 70 grams a day and only eat 2000 calories a day
Hello Simon,
Great podcast as always! 😍 Is it possible to add subtitles, please ? Have a nice day.
Subtitles might take a bit to process; please check back soon.
What can I replace fermented dairy with? (Plant based)
there are recipes online for cultured cashew cheese (see zerowastechef) but gets labor intensive. Most the fermented plant cheeses I see in the stores unfortunately contain coconut oil.

I think there needs more clarification on salt.
Salt is a mineral primarily composed of sodium chloride.
Now you know.

High fiber diet seems to have secong meal effect.
44:55 TBC
We get too little advanced actionable advice from these. What did we learn? 30g protein/meal (how many meals?), 30g fibre, 30 minutes of activity will be tested.
Did you learn how fibre affects protein absorption and the effect this has one hunger hormones?

1:17:57 if you want to lose weight as much as you want to breathe then you will lose weight ET
He’s wrong. Estradiol is heart protective for post menopausal women.
Can you share the science on that? I don’t believe it’s considered cardio-protective in the latest guidelines
