Summary

EP. 212: Hello friends, and welcome back to Realfoodology! Today’s episode is an absolute treat, and you’ll definitely want to stick around for part two as we had so much to cover that we split our conversation with Dr. Nick Norwitz into two parts. Dr. Norwitz, a researcher and educator with a valedictorian background from Dartmouth, a PhD from Oxford, and an MD from Harvard, brings a wealth of knowledge on metabolic health and its intricacies. We explore his personal journey with IBD, breakdown studies on artificial sweeteners, and his unique perspective on metabolism that challenges conventional wisdom. His passion and depth of understanding are truly captivating, and I’m excited for you to hear this fascinating discussion.

0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast, how does the listener determine who is a reliable
0:06.2	resource? Because there are different heuristics you could use. And one of those is academic
0:11.6	credibility, the brands, the PhD, the MD. Let's just say you don't have that. What do you go with?
0:18.8	There are a lot of other platitudes that people throw out there, like, quote, do your own research, follow the science, follow the data. The thing is the core of them is really true and good, but they always get like co-opted and twisted. You end up with this very messy intellectual ecosystem that generates frustration and generates
0:39.9	polarization, since you can use any of these kind of excuses, terms like do your own research,
0:46.3	or X, Y, Z, is cherry picking, or oh, it's just animal models, or, oh, follow the money,

1:11.4	just to make it a little more digestible. I sat down with Dr. Nick Norwitz, who is a researcher
1:16.5	educator whose mission is to make metabolic health mainstream. He graduated valedictorian from
1:21.7	Dartmouth College, majoring in cell biology and biochemistry, and then completed his PhD in metabolism
1:26.6	at the University of Oxford
1:27.9	before attending Harvard Medical School to complete his MD. I found Nick on Instagram not too long
1:34.0	ago and I think somebody sent me one of his videos talking about artificial sweeteners and he was talking
1:39.4	about a study about artificial sweeteners that I had never heard before and I feel like I've heard a lot about artificial sweeteners and so I never heard before. And I feel like I've heard a lot about artificial sweeteners.
1:46.2	And so I was very intrigued.
1:47.8	I ended up following him and have been loving, following his work.
