Rebooted Body – Healthy Eating, Functional Fitness & Behavior Psychology

I recently came across a viral video by social psychologist Melanie Joy called, "The Secret Reason We Eat Meat." I was appalled. Not just by what I saw and heard, but by the fact that it came from someone who has a PhD. I knew immediately that I needed to do a full rebuttal. This episode is the audio of that rebuttal. There is also a video rebuttal if you'd prefer to watch (so you can see the original video and the animated slides).

I've been getting a lot of emails and messages on social media asking what I think about the recent AHA guidelines doubling down on the demonization of saturated fat and coconut oil. This episode is my official response. It's based on an article I published on Medium that I'd encourage you to check out as well (link below).

Warning: This podcast contains some explicit language. It doesn't matter how much you care about skin cancer and Vitamin D, this is an important episode. Why? Because I show you exactly what's wrong with "science" in this day and age. More specifically, what's wrong with "professional advice" and "scientific consensus." It all started when I decided to do more research into the health of sun exposure. I found a licensed dermatologist making truth claims with 100% confidence on the Today Show, only to find contradictory evidence from respected outlets moments later on Google. You get to join me step by step as I review the Today Show segment and read two different articles that seem to counter what this dermatologist is saying. Even worse, if this dermatologist and the thousands like her are wrong, it means they're putting countless people at risk of developing life-threatening preventable diseases. Yet, here they are on national television spouting their information with gross confidence. * Harvard Article * Telegraph Article This is a problem, right?

The current narrative in the health and fitness industry is that sugar is addictive. You'll often hear it said that "sugar is more addictive than cocaine." Sometimes you'll hear that "food" in general is addictive. Or that processed food is manufactured to have special powers over you. In today's episode, I'm going to make a stand against this dangerous, disempowering rhetoric. I'm going to make the case that addictive foods don't exist. I'll also make the case that drugs aren't addictive, based on current research that shows addiction has been misunderstood for decades. Buckle up, friends. It's time to slay the status quo.
