Working Against Nature with Dr. Cate Shannahan - Episode 2495

Episode 2495 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Cate Shanahan about her new book about oxidative stress, the downside of working against nature, and more.

Root Causes of Oxidative Stress

Cate first noticed issues in pro basketball players. (2:30)
What she found out was a symptom of metabolic problems.
Dr. Shanahan was one of the early voices who emphasized the toxicity of seed oils. (6:00)
She explains how she started paying attention to seed oils.
Her background in biochemical engineering transitioned to medical school; however, her personal medical issues led her to a deep dive into health.
Her book “Dark Calories” is available in Vinnie’s Book Club here https://amzn.to/3V6JAYk
She explains the meaning behind the name. (13:00)
Metabolic disease is rampant.
Being “hangry” is a sign of insulin resistance, which is a stage of metabolic disease.
New testing standards need to happen; she’s a big believer in using the HOMA-IR testing.
They discuss oxidative stress and seed oils and how they are included in many things. (20:00)
She defines what she has named as “The Hateful 8.”
It’s a similar effect of oxidation as cigarette smoking.
Vinnie asks her about her list called the “Delightful Dozen.” (27:00)
She hopes to get more doctors on board in expanding the message regarding various oils and the effects of oxidative stress. (35:00)
Free radical particles are caused by oxidative stress; vegetable oils are “oxidative stress in a bottle.” (42:30)
Empty calories from processed foods and sugars can cause them too.
She also challenges the use of protein powders. (46:00)
Respecting Nature and how it works is important; trying to “outsmart” nature is a dead-end game. (54:00)
The energy model of insulin resistance has to do with your body not being able to use its body fat as fuel. (56:00)
Her book “Dark Calories” provides information that can help you reduce cravings while you heal from insulin resistance. (57:00)

Working Against Nature

Vinnie asks Cate how people can do better. (59:00)
She provides several practical food suggestions.
“Root cause” knowledge will help you.
They pivot to cholesterol. (1:04:00)
Cholesterol is a nutrient—it is a building block of cells and hormones.
The egg is the most complete package of nutrients you can get.
There are plenty of untruths in the “Game Changers” film; they elaborate. (1:06:00)
You need to know what is both good and bad about the medical system.
The conversation on nutrition is the American College on Lifestyle Medicine, which is a Seventh-Day Adventist group promoting their religious stance on eating and lifestyle. (1:10:00)
Vinnie asks Cate’s take on GLP-1s. (1:14:00)
She is against them for many reasons; the first one is that those drugs are working against Nature.
Acute muscle loss is happening to patients on drugs like Ozempic; remember your heart is a muscle.
She lists other concerns she has about them.
