  • Used to be Worth While

    This podcast went tremendously downhill in the last few years. If you want to listen to nonstop advertising and shilling of things that they sell, this is a great show for you. I can’t trust anything they say because it’s all just to sell you something. Save your time, don’t listen to this hour long advertisement.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2952: Dr. Cabral Reveals the 7 Blood Markers That Predict Heart Disease Better Than Cholesterol
Q: Would a low-carbohydrate diet help lower triglycerides and improve the ratios, or is it more about total energy intake and calories?
Calories matter, but a lower-carbohydrate approach can fix triglycerides in the short term; the key is balancing macronutrients to preserve muscle and overall metabolic health, with a gradual reintroduction of carbs as markers improve and weight stabilizes.
2952: Dr. Cabral Reveals the 7 Blood Markers That Predict Heart Disease Better Than Cholesterol
Q: I was just going to ask, if my APO-B is higher than 100, what are some things I can do to lower it?
Focus on fiber intake (30-35 grams per day), regular aerobic exercise (30-40 minute sessions, 3-4 days per week), consistent daily steps, adequate sleep, and targeted dietary fats and antioxidants; if needed, incorporate omega-3 optimization and liver-friendly strategies, while considering individual genotype (e.g., APOE) to tailor fat intake.
2949: Why Eating Less and Training More Is the Reason You Are Not Losing Fat
Q: What should a person do when recovering from an injury like a broken rib while trying to maintain fitness?
Focus on healing, use isometric exercises to maintain muscle connection, consider therapeutic approaches like red light therapy, and gradually rebuild strength with caution.
2949: Why Eating Less and Training More Is the Reason You Are Not Losing Fat
Q: How should someone handle fat and carbohydrate intake while increasing calories?
Aim for a two-to-one ratio of carbs to protein for most people, ensure fats aren't too low, and emphasize whole natural foods with adequate protein.
2941: Are Artificial Sweeteners Bad for You | The Real Problem Nobody Talks About
Q: What is the practical takeaway for someone trying to manage weight with artificial sweeteners?
Use zero-calorie options as part of a larger strategy that focuses on consistent protein intake, overall caloric balance, and behavioral strategies, rather than relying on artificial sweeteners alone to drive weight loss.
