Summary

I am delighted to reconnect with my friend and colleague Robb Wolf today. Robb is a former research biochemist and a two-time New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling Author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat.  In our conversation today, we examine the pitfalls of diet dogmatism, the lure of oversimplified health narratives, and the effects of Giardia. We unpack the seed oil debate, exploring how the longevity craze might actually be making us sicker, and we highlight the benefits of sun exposure and targeted lab testing. We also touch on the neuroscience of obesity and how food exposure shapes overeating and palate fatigue. As always, my conversation with Robb is insightful, practical, and packed with knowledge, so I know you will find it both inspiring and invaluable. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The problem with dogmatic diets How Giardia impacts gut health How aggressive screening often creates risks, stress, and costs without improving outcomes The health benefits of adequate sun exposure Why consuming seed oils occasionally is not a huge concern The overwhelming impact of our modern food environment Why palate fatigue could cause overeating How our culture has normalized constant indulgence Some simple lifestyle actions that can yield massive health benefits Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to [email protected] Connect with Robb Wolf  Robb’s Substack
