Summary

Carbs and fat are they good or bad for you? There is a lot of hype online, in the media, and from health gurus on what to eat and what not to eat. In recent years, the focus has been on low carb, ketogenic diets as the ones that are the best for weight loss. But what is the truth? Do carbs make you fat?

Today, I am talking to Dr. Alan Christianson, a personal friend of mine, who like me is a huge science geek. One of the things that we are both particularly passionate about is the science around carbs and fats. This is a particularly controversial area because there's a really big gap between what the science actually says about this topic and the common ideas floating around on the internet and in books.

In today's podcast, Dr. Christianson and I will shed light on the actual science on diets and macronutrients. Some of it will likely surprise you.

In this podcast, you'll learn:

How "cherry picking" of the science by diet gurus has created a situation where everyone claims their diet is the one "right way" to eat, and how to avoid getting duped by a diet guru
What kind of diets (in terms of carbs and fats) do the healthiest and longest living populations in the world live on?
The shocking findings of studies that compare equal calorie low-fat diets vs. low carb diets.
Why the last few decades of diet wars of carbs vs. fats have been a waste, and what we really need to focus on.
Why low-carb or keto diets can cause gut health problems in some people
Did people really get fatter during the "low-fat era" or has the narrative been twisting the facts?
The factor that matters far more than the carb to fat ratio of your diet when it comes to health and leanness
The REAL causes of insulin resistance (hint: it's not what you think)
Does insulin really control how fat you get like some people say?
What are the best diets to reverse insulin resistance? (you might be shocked to learn about some of the diets shown to reverse insulin resistance)

0:00.0	Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show,
0:05.1	I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more
0:10.0	excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint.
0:15.6	After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough
0:23.7	mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human
0:29.5	energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine,
0:36.2	and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up
0:40.4	your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by
0:46.2	giving you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels
0:50.9	worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability,
0:56.0	your cellular capacity to produce energy.
0:59.3	Energenesis got over 20 amazing, powerful ingredients at real effective doses.
1:05.2	This is a premium formula that uses actual real effective doses. So this is literally like 23 supplements all in one.
1:15.6	And with that in mind, just to mention a few testimonials that people have wrote in after using
1:20.9	Energenesis. So this one's from Barbara. She said I'm a 72 year old female and I love, love,
1:25.5	love, energy through the day. I have more sustained energy through the day and I'm actually getting my life back. I'm doing things that I haven't been able to do for 10 years. Anya, she said, I really love that it gives me just the right kind of steady and balanced energy. Unlike stimulants, which I can't tolerate, energenesis gives me a perfect, smooth kind of energy that lasts throughout the whole day. Michelle Katlin, this is one of my favorite one. She said, Ari, are you getting tired of all the praise and requests for Energenesis yet? I'm on my third bottle, and I have to tell you, I haven't felt this good in years. So if you've been struggling with your energy levels and you're looking to get this area of your life handled and not just to
2:01.4	get a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but to actually transform your energy levels
2:06.5	by building real energy at the cellular level, then go get yourself some energenesis. You can get it
2:12.8	at the energy blueprint.com forward slash energenesis. So go to that page, check out all the ingredients
2:20.1	and all the science behind it, how it works. It's all there. There's about 200 scientific
2:24.3	references behind all of the different ingredients in Energenesis. They're all listed on that
