#492: Human Metabolism Expert Dr. Cate Shanahan on Deep Nutrition, Fixing Metabolic Damage and How Dark Calories Might Be Destroying Your Health!

The Brian Keane Podcast

Dr. Shanahan is the leading authority on nutrition and human metabolism.

A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author of The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition and Food Rules, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer and accelerated aging processes. Her passion is helping people feel their best.

Her new book - Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back is available now. Her book Deep Nutrition – Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food was voted one of the Best Health and Wellness Books of 2017 by Sports Illustrated and has a blurb from the late Kobe Bryant, former NBA player with the L.A Lakers.

“[Deep Nutrition is] a different philosophy, It's something that we all had to adjust to, but we trust Dr. Cate implicitly. I've seen great results from it from when I started doing it―it’s worked well for me.” --Kobe Bryant

Note: In the EU (vs USA) Rapeseed oil can be a cheaper and decent source of healthy fats but tends to be highly processed, which may lower its nutritional value and alter its health effects. When possible, try to select cold-pressed or minimally refined rapeseed oil, both of which retain most of this oil's original nutrients and benefits.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:

• Metabolic damage – what it is and why we need to avoid it

• Insulin resistance and why it can be so difficult to lose weight if eating too many dark calories

• The “Hateful 8”: cottonseed, corn, canola, soybean, sunflower, grapeseed, rice bran and safflower oil and better alternatives.

• The role vegetable oils play in depleting antioxidants which leads to us ageing faster.

• The misconceptions that metabolism always slows down with age

• Connecting your food with nature and how to eat with intention.

• And more..
