Guidelines and GLP-1s
- Dr. Gary Fettke was in Vinnie’s first documentary, “FAT: a documentary.”
- They discuss how dietary messaging has changed over the years. (8:00)
- Whole foods, including animal proteins, are the optimal way to get nutrients. (15:00)
- They discuss CGMs and how helpful they can be for awareness of
what certain foods do to your blood glucose. (20:30)
- Your body responds to everything you eat; however, some foods raise glucose levels more than others.
- A CGM can help you discover your personal response and bioindividuality.
- They discuss the U.S. Food Pyramid and RFK’s take on it.
- Following the previous dietary guidelines has not helped; in fact, it seems to have made things worse.
- For example, approximately 40% of the U.S. military members are overweight because of food served in military commissaries. (32:00)
- The Magic Pill documentary is fantastic viewing. (33:00)
- Vinnie asks Gary his opinion on GLP-1s. (41:00)
- The mechanisms in the body when using a GLP-1 are very similar to being on a low-carb, ketogenic diet. (44:00)
- Significant weight loss requires keeping protein levels up to help offset muscle loss. (48:00)
- Exercise is very important, and can help with loose skin.
The Third Rail
- They discuss Gary’s experience during the COVID pandemic, or
"the third rail." (57:30)
- He also shares thoughts about the recent hearings where Anthony Fauci and he “pleaded the Fifth” 111 times.
- The result of the pandemic is a percentage of the population realizing not to mindlessly follow medical authorities, which is good.
- Stay inquisitive and question what comes across the news and social media.
- Alcohol dampens T-cell lymphocytes' function; ketones will boost them. (1:17:00)
