Why We Should Consider How Meat is Raised Rather Than Getting Rid of it Entirely!

In Oregon a group is proposing Bill IP13 that would criminalize raising animals for food and reclassify husbandry practices as “sexual assault”. It specified that animals can only be eaten once they have died of natural causes.

 

In the meantime we are being told to reduce the amount of meat we consume to 1 burger per month and/or 4 lbs per year. Instead people are being encouraged to eat lab grown meat and highly processed substitutes such as The Impossible Burger (which includes the ingredient soy leghemoglobin [SLH], something the FDA has refused to approve.

 

Let’s chat about sustainable agriculture versus industrial agriculture and some other nuances and details that are critical to consider before just cutting meat out!

Back to critical thinking everyone!!

I did share some info about Robb Wolf’s most recent podcast episode in which he and his wife, Nicki interview Clementia Russo on the topic of the vir*$ and things people aren’t talking about. Things we SHOULD be talking about that could lead to huge improvements!! His podcast is called The Healthy Rebellion Radio.

The Truth About Calories (there is a lot to the story!)

We like to have nice neat packages and formulas to follow when it comes to health and fitness; this is why the “calories in, calories out” model is so enticing.

The truth is that calories DO MATTER. However, HOW much they matter is going to be extreme different from person to person. Let’s chat about why and a few things you can do to have a healthy metabolism!

Why cholesterol is NOT evil (and why we actually need it)

We have been taught some very bad information on cholesterol over the years. Did you know that low cholesterol could mean depression and high risk of stroke? Did you know that most people who have heart attacks have low cholesterol?

Listen in to this deep but short dive into this important topic!

 

Here is some information referenced in the video for you if you would like to dive in a little deeper!

Low Fat vs Keto vs Low Carb: which is best?

First of all let's consider what makes each of these protocols what they are. Then let's chat about which one is best for weight loss vs which one is best for long term health (we will review a study for this part): A low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet versus a low-fat diet to treat obesity and hyperlipidemia: a randomized, controlled trial - PubMed (nih.gov)

Bottom line is always that there are NO COOKIE CUTTER APPROACHES; even when it comes to keto!

The Difference Between Paleo and Keto (and the little nuances with both)

Paleo and Keto can really confuse people. What's the difference? In this episode I break it down for easy understanding. However, I also go into some of the black and white rules of both that DRIVE ME NUTS. Why? Because, as individuals with individual needs, there is no cookie cutter protocol that will work for all of us! 

Listen in for some better understanding on these two popular approaches to nutrition, but also gain some knowledge on what might be a good fit for YOU!
