Ep. 22: John Speakman—What Causes Obesity?
Introduction
I am honored to be joined by John Speakman, a leading authority on energy balance in animals, and in the use of the doubly-labeled water method of determining energy balance. This has led him into the study of obesity, among other topics, where he has become a recognized expert.
Our discussion was prompted by his recent paper, “Total Daily Energy Expenditure Has Declined Over the Past Three Decades Due to Declining Basal Expenditure, Not Reduced Activity Expenditure”, which casts a new light onto the world pandemic of obesity.
In addition to discussing a few of the papers that give some background to that one, and his future research plans in light of that paper, we have an enlightening discussion on the potential role of deuterium in obesity and chronic disease.
Biography:
“John Roger Speakman (born 1958) FRS FRSE FRSB FRSA FMedSci FRSS is a British biologist working at the University of Aberdeen, Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences, for which he was Director from 2007 to 2011. He leads the University's Energetics Research Group, which is one of the world's leading groups using doubly labeled water (DLW) to investigate energy expenditure and balance in animals. Between 2011-2020, he was a '1000 talents' Professor at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing, China, where he ran the molecular energetics group. In 2020 he moved to the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenzhen, China where he works at the Center for Energy Metabolism and Reproduction and Head of the Shenzhen Key laboratory of Metabolic Health.”

Ep. 21: How Seed Oils Promote Cancer—with Matt Quinn and Dr. Brian Kerley
Introduction
Cancer is the second-leading killer of Americans, and is increasing both around the world and increasingly affecting younger and younger people.
It’s obviously important to understand what environmental factors might affect our susceptibility to the various cancers.
Here we discuss what I think is a key paper showing a link between our environment, genetic mutation, and metabolic dysfunction in cancer cells.
“The Major Lipid Peroxidation Product, Trans- 4-Hydroxy-2-Nonenal, Preferentially Forms DNA Adducts at Codon 249 of Human P53 Gene, a Unique Mutational Hotspot in Hepatocellular Carcinoma” (Hu et al., 2002)

Ep. 20: Are Seed Oils a Problem?—with Jacob Hands (Ep. 19 Excerpt)
Introduction
Dr. Brian Kerley, my co-host (although not on this episode) requested that I break out the seed oil discussion that Jacob and I had in episode 19. I had been thinking this would be a good idea as well, as it was a bit out of place in that episode, although I am glad Jacob wanted to discuss it.
So if you have already listened to ep. 19, this will be redundant. We’ll have a new episode out soon.
If you haven’t listened to ep. 19, then this was a discussion that Jacob requested we have about some weaknesses that he perceived in the idea that seed oils are causal in chronic disease.
Unfortunately, we only touched the tip of the iceberg, but he brought up a number of excellent points, which are well worth discussing.
Enjoy!

https://open.substack.com/pub/tuckergoodrich/p/ep-19-jacob-m-handswhats-wrong-with?r=1g2jpl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Introduction
What about fish oil? Is it a problem due to oxidation and contamination? Is it beneficial to health as many claim or is it a PUFA that’s bad for your health?
Jacob recently published an analysis of various fish oils with the team at Consumer Labs, looking at oxidative toxicity and purity of a wide variety of commercially available fish oils.
We discuss omega-3 and health, fish oils and oxidation, the science of seed oils and health, and, as a bonus, the problem with chocolates.
This is definitely a bit of a geek fest, so let me know if you have any questions.

Ep. 18: What Causes Insulin Resistance?—with Matt Quinn and Dr. Brian Kerley
Diabetes, broadly defined, afflicts greater than 50% of the U.S. population. The hallmark of type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance.
While many are unable to answer the question of why a formerly rare disease now afflicts the majority of the population, we go over research dating back to 1964 that makes it clear that we have a pretty good idea of what causes insulin resistance.
Scientists can easily induce insulin resistance in humans. How do they do it, and what might it tell us about what has caused our epidemic of diabetes?

Ep. 16: Understanding HNE, Biomarkers, and LPO—with Matt Quinn and Dr. Brian Kerley
Introduction
We look at a paper about the process of how the fats in seed oils become toxic, and what effects those toxins can have.
This paper is a broad overview of the related disease processes, which we will discuss to further understand how one thing can be driving many different disease processes.
“The study of lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes has become a rapidly growing field in medicine and biology, based on increasing evidence that LPO is involved in the development of many chronic diseases, e.g. [references removed]
(1) Asthma
(2) Atherosclerosis
(3) Alzheimer’s disease
(4) Rheumatoid arthritis
(5) Burn injury
(6) Cataractogenesis
(7) Diabetes
(8) Endotoxin liver injury
(9) Multiple sclerosis
(10) Myocardial infarction
(11) Organ transplantation
(12) Parkinson disease
(13) Psoriasis
(14) Reperfusion injury
(15) Stroke
(16) Aging
“The obvious involvement of LPO processes in the majority of severe diseases stimulated worldwide efforts to elucidate the mechanisms of their generation.
“These efforts are expressed in the exploding flood of papers, conference reports, review articles (see above) and books dealing with LPO. This paper is, therefore, not intended to add to these reviews but rather to address aspects previously overlooked: the dominant role of linoleic acid (LA) in LPO and the application of a combination of modern separation and identification techniques to isolate LPO products. Knowledge of these products provides insight into the mechanisms of their generation and offers a better understanding of the diseases in which LPO is involved.” (Spiteller 1998)

We are honorored to be joined by Prof. A. J. Hulbert, noted zoologist and author of Omega Balance: Nutritional Power for a Happier, Healthier Life.
“In Omega Balance, noted scientist Anthony J. Hulbert explains how the balance between [Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids] in the human food chain has changed over the last half-century and the very serious negative health impacts this imbalance has created.
An imbalance of these omega fats contributes to increased rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma, as well as cancer and a variety of other inflammatory diseases. Omega balance is also important for normal brain function, and an imbalance in these fatty acids is associated with depression, mood disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Hulbert provides extensive information on the omega balance of different foods and discusses fascinating details about human evolution, dietary changes throughout history, the effect of diet on human development and physiological processes, and more. He investigates the paleo diet of our ancestors and describes the dramatic changes that have accompanied the increased ultra-processing of modern foods. Omega Balance is an essential guide to understanding a significant problem in our modern food chain and will make us rethink the food we eat.

Ep. 14: How a Common Asian Genetic Mutation Leads to Chronic Disease, and What to Do
Introduction
We look at a paper enlightening what causes chronic disease, in the context of a huge population of people who suffer from the most common human mutation, to the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme that detoxifies both alcohol and seed oil metabolites, the ALDH2*2 mutation. We discuss how this mutation is thought to affect the people who have it through the lens of the paper at hand.
This was a difficult video for me to edit, as both Matt and Brian share their experiences with the topic we are discussing in their own families.
I thought this was excellent, and hope many others can learn from it.
Here’s this paper: “A Common East Asian-Specific ALDH2 Mutation Causes Obesity and Insulin Resistance: Therapeutic Effect of Reducing Toxic Aldehydes by ALDH2 Activation”

Ep. 12: Study: What's Worse—Carbs or Seed Oils? Understanding a High-PUFA Diet
Introduction
We’re trying something a bit different today. Dr. Brian Kerley and I have found a victim, Matt Quinn. Matt’s a smart guy but he’s not as immersed in these topics as we are, and so he’s going to play our straight man, the every-day guy who can hopefully come to easily-digested conclusions about the papers we discuss.
In our inaugural episode we discuss “Brief Episode of STZ-Induced Hyperglycemia Produces Cardiac Abnormalities in Rats Fed a Diet Rich in N-6 PUFA”.

I discussed this in a blog post. I won’t be doing this for most of the studies we discuss, but I figured it was handy to start with one where I had already done some work!
What's Worse—Carbs or Seed Oils? Understanding a High-PUFA Diet.
tl;dr: The one study I'm aware of that shows conclusively that excess glucose acts as an accelerant for excess omega-6 fat, but it not nearly so harmful without the omega-6, in vivo.

Ep. 11: Paul Saladino, MD: The Intellectual Journey of a Physician—with Dr. Joshua Durham
We interview Paul Saladino MD about his intellectual journey from being a raw vegan with rotting teeth as a physician’s assistant, through becoming the “Carnivore MD”, to where he is today. We discuss the training a physician receives in medical school about nutrition, and how he filled that gap with his own experience and research. And how it impacted his health and his ideas about being a physician.
Josh Durham, my personal physician, joins me as co-host today to recount his personal health journey as well and how it changed his practice. (He recently quit his job at a large hospital to go independent!)
Paul Saladino, MD:
https://www.paulsaladinomd.co/
Dr. Saladino’s "The Carnivore Code" book:
https://amzn.to/47OCjAt
Biography of Paul Saladino:
I’m a double board certified MD, host of the Fundamental Health podcast, and author of The Carnivore Code and The Carnivore Code Cookbook.
I believe in questioning our assumptions about health and nutrition, which makes me controversial in modern medicine. I'm much more interested in optimal health than in dogmatic adherence to a mainstream narrative.
I graduated from medical school at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and completed my residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. After residency, I attained a board certification as a Physician Nutrition Specialist.
Throughout my medical training, I came to one very saddening conclusion: our Western medical system isn’t helping people lead richer lives.
Western medicine fails to treat the root cause of chronic illness, and doctors are only taught to treat symptoms with medications, rather than trying to understand the roots of illness.
I firmly believe that nutritional choices lie at the ROOT of so many chronic illnesses that western medicine deems irreversible.
And I also believe that most chronic illnesses are preventable AND reversible.

Ep. 10: Dalton Graham: How to Induce Fatty Liver—with Dr. Brian Kerley
Dr. Kerley and I are joined by Dalton Graham, a student who found himself in a liver pathology lab at Tulane. He had the interesting idea to test if a high-linoleic acid diet could be shown to produce fatty liver disease at the same time it was causing obesity.
The scientists in the lab required a little convincing that this was a worthy experiment, but one day he arrived to find all the materials he need waiting for him.
Be careful what you wish for! Find out how it turned out.

Biography:
• Dalton is currently a PhD student at University of Florida, studying Biochemistry with a focus on metabolism. When he wrote the paper we are discussing, he was an undergrad, and then grad student at Tulane University, studying Biochemical Engineering and Pathology.

Quotable:
“I made a presentation about the role of excess linoleic acid in liver diseases. …I sat down and I pitched it… to the individuals in that lab. At first they didn’t really get it… I remember when I first finished laying out the mechanisms and why this is needed. Typically at the end of a presentation there are a bunch of questions, and there was just… silence.
“They’d never been presented with this idea that lipid peroxidation (or oxidative stress) manifests itself mainly due to this dietary factor—that no one seems to realize because it’s so ubiquitous.”
“These animals that are eating the higher linoleic acid they appear physical slower.”
“The females that were fed the high linoleic acid, they actually lost a lot of their fur [while under stress]. We couldn’t continue the experiment with them.”
“I don’t think they understood the importance of [linoleic acid] in the real world.”

“I’m a senior software engineer and entrepreneur.
“I began a Low Carb, High Fat diet in April 2015 and have since learned everything I could about it with special emphasis on cholesterol given my lipid numbers spiked substantially after going on the diet. As an engineer, I spotted a pattern in the lipid system that’s very similar to distributed objects in networks.
“I’ve since learned quite a bit on the subject both through research and experimentation which has revealed some very powerful data. With this new general theory, I’ve shifted around my cholesterol substantially without any drugs or special supplements of any kind.

Blog comment:
Dr. Durham: “If you need a family Dr. here in Boise hit me up. I went from 235lbs to keto to carnivore and then finally came across your info. Now at 195 I feel comfortable knowing what I can and can't have and why I was so sick. Felt great on carnivore but can't live that way forever. Thank you for your work.”

Tom Brenna, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Dell Medical School, UT Austin;
• https://dellmed.utexas.edu/directory/tom-brenna
“Tom Brenna is a professor of pediatrics at Dell Medical School. He moved to Austin after 28 years as a professor of human nutrition, chemistry, chemical biology and food science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. His group’s basic research into the chemical, biochemical, metabolic, genetic and ecological aspects of fatty acids have had a decisive influence on modern knowledge of these key nutrients.
“Brenna’s research couples nutrition and chemistry in a broadly interdisciplinary program. His research group has been funded by institutes and centers at the National Institutes of Health (National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Eye Institute, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) since 1992. Most of the work of the Brenna Lab is translational, tying basic research to biomedicine and human nutrition….”

Raphi: @1:12:55: "Hopefully one of the social media platforms will stay suffienty free and friendly to free speech so that we can keep discussing those things because that's where I learned about them. So if only we can keep doing that we've got some hope. If they don't censor us on that as well, because we get censored a lot about COVID on Youtube and elsewhere."
