On Today's Episode:

When it comes to figuring out what an optimal diet and lifestyle is for you, it’s really evident that our approach to what is optimal for each of us may be radically different, which means letting go of the notion that any specific diet is better than the other.

The environment you live in and your lifestyle has just as much impact on your body as does your genetics and diet.

Dr. Jonathan Reisman is not your average ER doctor. He has one of the most unique perspectives on health, diet, and human anatomy influenced by his love of travel and nature. He doesn’t shy away from the unsettling aspects of life, but approaches it all with reverence and curiosity.

While there are seemingly more questions than answers, this episode is an open dialogue and invitation for you to reconsider and challenge your beliefs around diet. If you’re raising a family, has your approach been that if I’m vegan, or on a carnivore diet, everyone in the home must be on the same diet?

We also dive heavily into the exploding possibilities of AI’s role in healthcare and ability to diagnose and potentially prevent diseases destroying our health long before you or your doctors can even detect it. The key to this episode is being open-minded and committed to finding a better, more optimal way of approaching diet and lifestyle for you and the people you care about.

QUOTES:

“The adaptability of the gastrointestinal tract is important, [...] our gastrointestinal tract does not look like a pure carnivore’s tract, it also doesn't look like a pure herbivore’s tract, so I think we are probably meant to be omnivores.”

“Variability is a really important thing.”

“I’m very skeptical about what doctors have to say about nutrition.”

“Nutritional science through headlines is a very bad way to understand what’s good and what’s bad for us.”

“A doctor’s decision making is warped and shaped by the worst things they’ve seen.”

“Like everything in medicine, do the benefits outweigh the risks, and nothing is risk free.”

“I’m very hesitant to apply causality when it comes to health and nutrition and lifestyle just because I feel like there’s so much that we don’t know and I wish doctor’s were tired of embarrassing themselves by declaring the truth and then seeing it overturned 20 years later.”
