Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 183 - THE ONE WITH "ANTHONY CHAFFEE 3.0"
Q: What is your take on the new US dietary guidelines?
The guidelines are a step in the right direction but fall short in some areas; they adopt a whole-food approach and acknowledge ketogenic options for metabolic disease, though there is pushback from industries invested in the status quo.
DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 184 - THE ONE WITH "VEGAN TURNED CARNIVORE JESSICA"
Q: Did you have any issues with periods or skin when you were vegan, and did these change after you switched to carnivore?
She notes that while on veganism she experienced gut issues and later, after transitioning, saw improvements in energy and skin condition, though she acknowledges the hormonal changes around her period and considers how dairy may impact symptoms; overall, the transition correlates with symptom relief and better energy for her.
DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 182 - THE ONE WITH "REVERSING EATING DISORDERS WITH FRANCES"
Q: What was the turning point that pulled you away from your eating disorder?
Realizing that nutrition was fundamental to mental health, inspired by a holistic, sugar-focused understanding, and then discovering carnivore as a practical path to regain control over hunger and health.
DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 179 - THE ONE WITH "SHANNON AND AMERICAN DIABETES SOCIETY"
Q: Absolutely, Shannon, you've been working with famous doctors and you started the American Diabetes Society—what's the story behind that effort?
Shannon explains their formation of a patient-centered nonprofit with leaders from nutrition and medicine, aiming to counteract industry influence and provide practical, evidence-based guidance for reversing type 2 diabetes through diet and lifestyle.
DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 174 - THE ONE WITH "GARY TAUBES""
Q: You and your work challenge the belief that calories in equals calories out. Could you unpack why that notion persisted and what the evidence actually shows?
The calorie model persisted because early physiological measurements framed fat storage around energy balance, but long-term nutrition research showed hormones, especially insulin, play a decisive role in how calories are partitioned and stored, making simple calorie counting insufficient to explain weight gain or loss; history reveals the hypothesis was tested repeatedly with mixed results and was sustained by political and institutional incentives rather than unequivocal evidence.
