: Episode 1233 - This Sunday, we take a look back at one of Vinnie's fantastic luminary podcasts, his second interview with Dr. Shawn Baker recorded early last year.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Thrive Market Villa Cappelli MEAT EATERS Shawn has only had coffee a handful of times Tried Vinnie's coffee, his first coffee in the last 15 years Shawn is a doctor (a surgeon, in fact), and also quite the athlete Bit of a world famous rower Broke an indoor rowing record recently Continues to beat Concept 2 records He is 51 and the 20-somethings have trouble keeping up with him 772 lb dead lift Drug free organization About 20 years ago Discus/track & field champion Agrees that you do not need to carbo load before working out or competing Shawn eats meat - ALL the time! Also tries to fight Bro Science in nutrition and sports Those who say "don't eat too much meat" are well-intentioned but misguided This research is based on bad science Ignore the fact that CARBS might be making these peoples' health bad Shawn has muscles for days He is also in peak health condition Part of the "zero carb" movement Extreme ketosis Shawn definitely does receive hate mail It's pretty polarizing, but he tries to laugh about it If you tell people we should eat meat like we have been for the last millions of years, people attack you! The epidemiology that says eggs and meat will give you disease is awful work The research that "supports" such hypotheses is cherry-picked and ignores variables that actually cause disease, such as sugar intake and the like No direct association Ex: you get a sunburn from eating ice cream Our bodies do not require carbs Our body can turn fats and proteins into glucose Fiber is also not a necessity Can be helpful depending on what your diet looks like Fun fact: Shawn has smaller bowel movements, as do most who are low/no-carb because you are using up more of your nutritious food, and there is less waste!

Check out his first appearance from 2015 here Steve is a body builder His story isn't one of huge transformation like many who come on this show Not the sort of fitness success we celebrate so much He is a natural body builder Doesn't take any steroids, substances that are not natural He doesn't want to cheat the system or the sport It wouldn't be too hard to cheat, but it's a moral thing for Steve (and a health thing, too) Many of these people who used steroids, etc., look awful now You'd never think they were body builders once It really ruins your body Lots of these folks die young In the old days, body building diet was essentially NSNG Lots of high fat protein and veggies Very little carbs and supplements Many people who use harmful compounds don't understand what it's going to do to their body There are now such things as Fit Competitions - just about looking good Mostly women Some of them look totally different two weeks before a competition Not only damaging for your physical health, but for your mental health, too Many ask if they can look the same year round if they go NSNG The answer is YES!

KEVIN FOLTA Dr. Folta has been studying DNA manipulation since he was a kid He is a GMO expert Has a PhD in molecular biology Works largely in horticulture (runs the department at UF) This is his second appearance on this podcast - check out his first here! GENETIC MANIPULATION OF FOOD Now, we can provide more fruits and veggies nearly all year round This is a score for public health in general Not really a thing when Vinnie and Dr. Folta were kids Organic is still a production system - something can be GMO and organic For example, still using insecticides, just different types Genetic engineering is actually changing the DNA in the lab Add resistance, other things Genetically modified food can be good! People don't really understanding genetic modification Assume it's evil when it can be good It's not so black and white Genetic modification is going into human beings - this is the more controversial subject Dr. Folta thinks we are close to being able to prevent things like heart disease predisposition, etc. We do allow technology to change (and improve) the lives of people This can be a good thing, if done responsibly! Many of those people who rail against GMOs unknowingly promote other genetically modified foods, like soybeans The plant itself has been genetically modified, so ALL soybeans are thus modified from their original form Similarity in wheat - the book Wheat Belly focuses on this Sugar cane is awful for the environment Genetically modified sugar beets are much better for the environment However, people rail against sugar beets and promote damaging sugar cane VITAMIN DEPLETION GMO's can address vitamin depletion that many experience We have gone away from fresh fruits and veggies and vitamin-rich meats with the SAD Resultantly, we eat the wrong kind of calories People more and more lack essential vitamins and nutrients in their diets Part of this is because vitamin rich food is expensive People making the rules can afford these foods Poorest people cannot, and they also have the highest rates of metabolic issues
