Ep12: Adam Kosloff from Escape from Caloriegate | The Dr. O Show




The Dr. O Show show

Summary: Well, I have three months of podcast episodes officially with the publication of this episode of the Dr. O Show. I hope you've been enjoying listening to it as much as I have enjoyed preparing these episodes for you. If you have any comments, especially if they're positive, don't forget to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to head on over to the iTunes Store and leave your recommendation. I know. I know. We all have extremely busy lives, and I am no exception, but if you are appreciating the programming, and you are finding it helpful and useful in your own personal journey to find  health, then take a few minutes to share that on the iTunes store and maybe even help inspire others! Of course, I will certainly appreciate it very much as well, as I know how hard it is to lose weight and get your health back, especially when you take on a low carbohydrate diet. People begin to look at you funny, and they question and criticize just about everything that you do. Why are you eating so much fat? Why don't you just a little bit of bread? Aren't you eating too much protein? Are you ever going to have a piece of cake again? Is this really a healthy way to eat? Believe me, I've been there. And I know you've probably been there as well. It's hard – not the diet – people! Sometimes people are simply skeptical because they like being skeptical and it makes them feel important, which leads me into discussing today's podcast. Adam Kosloff is a writer, blogger, and podcaster who is passionate not only about nutrition and health, but finding out why people act and think they way that they do in regards to nutrition and health, meaning specifically why are they so contentious and disagreeable at times. Is it simply about the science? Or are there other reasons that have to with the nature of people? (Hint! Hint!) In the process of exploring the psychology of people and the nature of science and the quest for knowledge itself, Adam doesn't only want to find the reasons why people suffer from dissonance and disconnect in the ideas that they hold, but is searching for a solution to help integrate different viewpoints into a more unified view. Adam is not looking to be an expert on any one particular thing, he wants to understand why people think and believe certain things, and if and if there's a better way of looking at ideas themselves, including, as I have said, the very nature of science itself. It is an important question, and we discuss this and many more things on this episode of The Dr. O Show. I hope you enjoy it, and once again, thanks for your listenership! // <a href="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?rt=tf_mfw&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fmiprhoofdrosd-20%2F8001%2F7d5f74c0-1136-40fc-bce0-158bcd9d7378&amp;Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com Widgets</a>
