Tucker interviews Casey Means

Still have yet to watch this. Curious about the downvotes?

Finally got around to this last night. I hope there is a medical revolution coming. I truly feel like there is.

I was a little disappointed that they focused almost solely on diet. Exercise Is arguably more important to overall health.

Wasn’t you.

Lsu777 from the thread linked above, at the end of a lengthy rant:

STOP OVER COMPLICATING THINGS!!

The books provide a thesis that genetically modified wheat is not good for us and may be the root cause of many health issues related to the current obesity crisis. I for one think he may be on to something and that this is not an overly complicated hypothesis.

I’ve also seen agreement on this from several different functional medicine authors / speakers.

If you’re addicted to bread / cake and don’t want to hear this, then I can understand the excitement coming from denial.

I listened to this over the weekend and fvcking loved it. Now granted this is right up my alley and this stuff is catnip for me, but I found that podcast to be so f’ing good.

With that said, yes - you’re STILL making everything too complicated. It doesn’t take a PhD to eat healthy, exercise, avoid or limit alcohol and sleep. But if you need textbooks to teach you that high fructose corn syrup is bad - that’s fine too.

Agree and disagree. Sure, eat stuff on the exterior of the grocery store that grows in the ground or used to run on the ground is the easiest simplest advice. It’s worked for me, and it works for anyone who learns about it, has self control, and embraces its benefits.

However, this podcast was so insightful into showing just how many obstacles are intentionally stacked against your average American who hasn’t already embraced the benefits of that diet. Food companies being bought by tobacco companies that are now using the same research they used to hook folks on cigarettes via nicotine to hook folks on processed foods via manipulating satiety levels? The largest producer of pesticides merging with the largest producer of pharmaceuticals that treat diseases caused by pesticides? Like what in the f is this craziness?!?

Subsidizing corn farmers so that this processed shite is artificially cheaper than natural whole foods. That’s not capitalism, that’s bullshite. The absurdity of the NAACP being a registered lobbyist on behalf of Ozempic instead of recognizing that the people they are supposed to be advocating for are being propped up as jackpots for a pharmaceutical company that wants to get them signed up for a shot a week for the rest of their life as opposed to coaching them on the benefits of whole foods and the dangers of processed foods.

I found the insights into the structural challenges and obstacles put in place to block large scale adoption of healthier diets was the most interesting part of the podcast to me.

Yeah bruh


They’re gonna tax you more to put the food stampers on ozempic

The only thing that could save this country now is a hot nuke war or an occupation

The amount of people that scare themselves away from being healthy is amazing. It's simple to start, and once you play around with calories it's almost 2nd nature. I think the YouTube and Insta fitness people mess everyone up.

If I weighed everything I ate, freaked out about the cals in a dash of taco bell hot sauce, or worried about adding a pound to every lift on the 2nd Sunday of the 15th blood moon after a deload week, when the mother of Jupiter is ovulating I'd just eat cake and watch TV instead.

Start simple, measure your success with a mirror and your belt, adjust as needed.
