(3:30) He sees benefits through managing food addiction with streaks. (7:00) They discuss overdoing exercise, with no rest. Some people have a fear of not getting back into it if they miss a day. Dr Nadir has a general rule that streaks can be beneficial as long as its not at the detriment of something else. Vinnie asks Nadir's opinion about Allulose & GLP-1 agonists. (13:00) Naidir has a lot of clinical experience, so he sees things on a day-to-day basis. Yes, there are benefits for some people, but there are a lot of downsides, too. Vinnie challenges some aspects of using a GLP-1. (24:00) Nadir agrees that it's only effective if a person does low-carb and intermittent fasting, (which is something Vinnie recommends without having to use the drug anyway.) (28:00) Additional Concerns There are upsides and downsides at certain levels of autophagy. (31:00) Too long of an extended fast can affect muscles. Vinnie asks Nadir about a low-carb, high fat being effective for weight loss and other metabolic issues. (36:00) There are instances where it may not be quite as effective. Are seed oils a detriment to health? They become a part of your cell membranes and do damage. (43:00) He gives an example of how it affects the retina. One single benefit you can do is to get seed oils out of your diet. Seed oils are ubiquitous in restaurants and included in most packaged foods. Binge eating - what can people do to help themselves? (53:00) Nadir has been looking into the pleasure centers of the brain in order to understand binge eating. Dopamine is the driver for the craving or behavior—but it doesn't really have much to do with the pleasure. In fact, as dopamine goes up, pleasure can actually decrease.
