A year in the making, this podcast delves into and challenges some of the hard concepts of health, nutrition and fitness: is protein really more satiating than fats and carbs? Is there something as "damaged metabolism"? How do you go beyond the abstract and conflict of interest in nutrition studies and gather relevant and practical data? Gather your notebooks as this one is loaded!

Not for the faint of hearts, this podcast critically analyzes the problems with commercialization and myths around the ketogenic or low carb diet while talking about various controversial topics ranging from raising children, parenting, gender issues, healthcare and manipulating reality and promoting false narratives on social media. We wrap it up with a philosophical converation about what drives long term happiness and the pros and cons of modern consumerism.

This was our live stream from Facebook and YouTube where we talked about food processing, why the calories in nuts is wrong and have a backstage conversation on how we can merge both the health and food industry. Our YouTube camera stream messed up so we had to upload using Facebook video so we apologize for the terrible quality on this one!

A VERY long awaited special 50th episode where we delve into the bigger picture while discussing many topics including the biochemistry of cholesterol & statins, the scientific method, philosophy, processed foods and top it off with a dose of what we can learn from evolution and how to lead a fulfilling life. This one is a GREAT episode!

While the mainstream news is focused primarily on a top-down approach towards food and health aimlessly tossing around observational studies, Gabor Erdosi and even us at Ketogeek are more focused on a bottom up approach starting from mechanistic ways in which food is metabolized and impacts the body as a whole.

Miriam encountered cancer when her son was diagnosed in 2007 and now uses her experience and knowledge through this tough time to help others while providing inspiration and guidance to find what works for them individually in this battle.

There is so much noise about food, health and nutrition but how do you consolidate and learn from it? Above all, what kind of information is relevant and what is just clickbait fodder? In this episode, we go beyond the headlines and behind the scientific abstracts into the depth of nutritional and health science especially since we now have so many dietary protocols ranging from carnivory to veganism. This is one educational gem and a must-listen with Alex Leaf whom we describe as the "Encyclopedia of Nutritional Science". 

This one is a must listen and LOADED with everything you need to know about metabolism and long term health, enhancing and troubleshooting your performance as an athlete and understanding the significance of heart rate variability and glucose levels.
