  • On Today's Episode:
    Deciding what to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner is a bigger decision than you know. While many of us base our meal choices on convenience, time, money, and taste, the frightening truth is that we are actually deciding what our cells will be made of, and too often we’re making sh*t choices.
    Changing your overall health means understanding that food matters in ways that we don’t really comprehend. Shawn Stevenson is joining Tom to share life changing data from research and perspective on foods, pharmaceutical use, and physician diagnoses that are more than shocking! Shawn is the author of the international bestseller Sleep Smarter, and his latest book, Eat Smarter.
    In this episode, Shawn opens up about his personal experience being diagnosed with a chronic, debilitating disease at 20 years old, and what it meant for him to take his health, his life, and his power into his own hands. This discussion lays out all the reasons why and the ways how you can take control of your health and stop giving that power to people that aren’t living with your pain, your suffering, and poor health. Our society isn’t making the best decisions for anyone’s health. You can be the victim or the hero of your life in this story, the decision is yours to take.
    “The last 30 years have been marked by exchanging what worked for what sounds good.” -Thomas Sowell

    metabolic syndrome is an inflammatory condition with obesity, hypertension, belly fat and eventually diabetes. anti-inflammatory foods include berries and olive oil, as well as fish. stop eating inflammatory foods like sugar and corn and you will start feeling better within days and looking better within weeks. when you are young you can eat what you want. when you get old you have to be more careful.

    I lost weight by cutting out all 'yellow' fat foods and replaced with eating small portions of 'white' fat foods. Small portion 30-50gms protein each day for 3 months. Also cut out flour based foods like pasta and bread, cut out stone fruit. Cut out sugar. Ate greens (silverbeet, spinach, cabbage...) 2x a day with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and crushed garlic clove drizzled over greens.
    Drank 1.5 litres a day.
    Walked 2x a day.
    Weight started dropping off after 2 weeks, energy increased.

Having changed my bad eating habits, cutting out so many bad foods & changing to a whole food due to chronic pain & health issues and seeing the positive changes and decrease in inflammation, weight & pain throughout my body...

    At 53 mins in, when discussing diabetes, he carefully worded "we suck at fixing it." As a healthcare provider, I can attest to the accuracy of this statement. We are very good at "treating" diabetes along with other modifiable illnesses, but very bad at "fixing" diabetes. Today's medicine is aimed at sick care, not health care. That's the importance of having a food coach/dietician, a fitness coach/personal trainer, etc. Much like the swimming analogy, if you jump in the deep end of the pool but don't know how to swim. You no longer need a swim coach, now you need a lifeguard. You needed the swim coach way before that. That's how fitness coaches and healthcare providers relate to your health and wellness.

    In Spain we use 2 diferent types of olive oil, for heating we use the refined one, lower acidity (0,4°), supports better the heat.
    Then the Extra Virgin (1°) for any raw application : on pasta, bread, salads, rice, ... anywhere, délicious

      @hferrari7553 Рік тому +9

      Let me first say: I totally respect this comment, the Spanish culture, and Olive Oil🙌🏾.
      I also live in Europe, and the challenge I see here is this:
      1. Europeans differ in their opinions of what healthy is (be it Olive oil, Fish, Wine, or whatever). The stylish Italians, the gorgeous Spaniards, au Couture French, laid-back-cool Portuguese, etc., each has the influence of their own culture (and Mama’s cooking!) to say what is “healthy” or “better”.
      2. I have never, in all my travels through these awesome cultures, seen a
      “Mama” or any cook, measure the temperature of oil. Sorry; never seen it. Mama just puts her finger in the pan of oil, and says: yes Amore, now is ok to put food inside the pan. This can vary all the way from simmering, to WTF! Did you just burn two layers of skin girrrl?!!
      So, there is I think, certainly a romanticism, from perhaps non-Europeans (?), of how Olive Oil and the people it belongs to, how they “just instinctively” know how to heat it, or eat it cold, or how store it, which regions’ olives are better, etc. Even within the Mediterranean there are varied opinions. And even in the Mediterranean there are different oils sold for frying or eating which are not Olive based. Rich, poor, wealthy, healthy people exist everywhere; and not everyone is going to afford only the best oil fried at precisely 0,xxx Degree).
      Europe may seem sexy (and it is😉) but it doesn’t mean they are people born just knowing how to be healthier -especially since the big EU cities have a crazy abundance of fast food now.
      I wanted to point this out simply because we’ve all got alot to learn and new discoveries come to light. Maybe Mama DID know the best oil temperature, or maybe she just did her best not to burn the food yeah?🤷🏽‍♀️

    Love this dude, I'm reading his book Sleep Smarter right now!
    Idk if anyone has said this yet but to answer the olive oil question... olive oil has a low smoke point, between 300-410 degrees F or so, depending on the type of oil. Once you heat it past that point, it essentially starts to burn and the beneficial omega 3s that are normally in olive oil that help with inflammation...can actually convert to harmful omega 6s that cause inflammation. That's why oils such as avocado or grape seed oils that have a higher smoke point should be used for cooking, and olive oil should be used cold.

      To use Olive oil for health benefits I drink it as an elixir not in my food. I also use Olive oil in some cooking but not for high-heat cooking like frying but sauteing or drizzling on salads or bread dipping. You are correct it s not meant for high-heat cooking. Also, not all Olive oils are equal, not even all Extra Virgin Olive oils are equal. The cheaper ones are probably useless to use for health. I use one called Dessert Miracle, it gave me a bit of sticker shock when I found it but I tried it and I like it.

    please keep this message going... of self-healing through food and action. ❤ My daughter came to with systematic inflammation all over her body after an allergic reaction to braces (nickel) . None of the dr. or specialist identified this as the source of the problem. Everyone wanted to just manage the condition with steroids and pills. I was told she would have to live like this the rest of her life. Then I came across a story on the Internet about a woman that underwent the same health problem. When I mentioned to the allergist my suspicion it was dismissed until the orthodontist (she listened and found it in the literature) took the braces off my daughter and she started to heal. The healing process has been a roller coaster these last 3 yrs but with endless days of research and changes in diet my daughter condition is better. ❤

I started a low carb/keto lifestyle in 2018ish and once i dropped the weight i incorporated a few of my old fav's back into my way of eating. while on i consistently lost 1-2 lbs per week with a few 0lb or less than 1lb weeks. i think its just too strict to keep up with. after so many pounds lost you recalculate macros.

      My uncle was a nuclear physicist. He said the same thing. The more he understood science, the more he understood God. He started agnostic, and became spiritual, through his work as a physicist. He said he thought it was crazy that people thought it was an either/or situation, like you give up God when you believe in science, or if you believe in God you should reject modern science, when he felt scientific knowledge is what awakened his beliefs.

    I was one of those dieters who was in tears and starving all the time. Then I learned about the raw food diet, and while I can't live that way it certainly does make one thin, and change one's metabolism in a most positive way. So now I plan meals around vegatables and fruits, that works for me/ Except I'm doing a ton of food prep and clean up. I look forward to society changing where it's easier to eat out or buy food prepared because I don't enjoy spending so much time in the kitchen.

I was told 15 years ago by a spine Ortho I would be in a wheelchair in 5 years… Not in a wheelchair yet… My body is full of spurs all over.. It has been a journey.. So much to learn.. When I got a nutritional study done by Spectracell that really started to shed light on what was happening.. Had multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.. Then started to figure out why.. I totally agree you need more than 1 opinion on your health issues.. A few things I know for sure in my body-my Vit D level has to be at least 70, my body needs magnesium, I can’t eat over 50 gums carbs per day, I need a lot of protein-40% of my calories, I need Vit K to push the calcium in my bones.. I have to take the digestive enzymes with bile and HCL to digest my food so my body will even absorb the nutrients from the food I eat… Fast food is poison to my body… If a doctor is not helping you then move on.. Omega 3 is my friend.. Buy good quality supplements that your body needs based on lab results… Functional medicine md has helped me a lot..You have to be your own advocate… You have got to help yourself..

      Educate yourself about oxalates. Do a search for Sally Norton on YT, the queen of oxalate education. Oxalates cause every kind of disease out there. They bind to minerals, so you are not getting minerals from eating veggies. Grains and nuts are high oxalate foods, as are curly kale, Swiss chard, beet greens and beets, sweet potatoes (actually all potatoes), dark chocolate, kiwi, blackberries, raspberries, turmeric, black pepper, and on and on. Oxalates are like eating asbestos, little chards of glass. One of the anti-nutrients in vegetables and fruits. They cause huge joint issues, and bone loss, because the oxalate are grabbing the minerals it needs to survive. Try a low oxalate diet for 30 days and see how you feel. You have nothing to lose except pain.

    All the processed food! People say that eating organic is expensive. Consider this:.
    This year I started buying local organic produce and meat for my family of 7. I cook from scratch and we eat meat 2-3x per week. Our grocery bill is about $200 per week.
    When shopping for our week long camping trip, I blew through $400 for just one week of food we usually don't stock:. Boxes of crackers, nutrigrain bars, instant oatmeal packets, chips etc. To keep everyone fed and happy while I also took a break from all the cooking. $400 and that didn't even include meat bc I used meat from our freezer that week.
    Eat whole food. Cook simply from scratch. Cut the processed crap. It will save money and your health.

    PS. Olive oil and eggs have a special benefit is what I know. It doesn't take a long time in tha pan to cook them and I will dare say that there is some unknown benefit. That is kind of based on a wound cream over 100 years old recipe that is made with olive oil. The almost 100 year old woman that gave the recipe was frying two eggs in the olive oil before using it for the cream.She said that they release healing properties. I am still making the cream, especially for open wounds and it does amazing work especially for burns and painful cuts. What and why, nobody knows. We just follow the old knowledge. She knew the recipe from her mother and grandmother! So I don't think cooking with olive oil is that bad😉

    Try heating your pan. Break the eggs into the pan. Season salt/pepper. Cover and cook slow on medium-low heat until the white/albumen solidifies, and flip the egg over. Cover again and turn the heat off or take the pan off of the heat. Wait a few seconds. Flip and plate.
    Second way is to melt 1 Tbsp. of butter. Add milk enough to cover the egg. Drop eggs when the milk gets foamy. Baste the eggs with the hot milk until it’s cooked. Salt/pepper. Serve.
