Summary
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Belinda Fettke is a public speaker and researcher investigating the vested interests and religious ideology shaping the commonplace 'plant-biased' dietary and health guidelines. She has presented nationally and internationally on the findings of her research.
In this episode, Dr. Brian and Belinda talk about challenging the standard nutrition narrative, the nutritional deficiencies of a meatless diet, the role that the Seventh Day Adventist church has played in demonizing red meat, the relationship between the American Dietetics Association and Kellogg's, doing what is right and having integrity in the face of personal financial risk, the dietary similarities of the blue zone populations, the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle, and the need for raising awareness among consumers about real nutrition.
