The 5 Diet Biomarkers EVERYONE Should Know - Carnivores & Vegans Too! w/ Calley Means

Summary

The guest discusses the importance of managing five key biomarkers—HDL, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure, and waistline—as indicators of metabolic health. He emphasizes the role of simple dietary changes, such as avoiding processed grains, seed oils, and added sugars, while consuming nutrient-dense foods like fermented items and proteins. The conversation touches on concerns over chemicals like glyphosate in U.S. foods and the need for political action to reform the food and healthcare systems. The speaker also highlights bipartisan support for health initiatives and the potential for change through collaboration.

Q & A

What is the main topic discussed in the transcript?

The main topic discussed revolves around health, focusing on five key biomarkers that determine the risk for deadly diseases, and how dietary choices can impact those biomarkers. The conversation also touches on issues like food processing, chemicals in food, and the state of the medical system in the United States.

What are the five biomarkers mentioned in the transcript that help determine the risk of deadly diseases?

The five biomarkers are HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure, and waistline.

How can people take control of their biomarkers according to the speaker?

People can take control of their biomarkers by understanding their blood tests, using affordable tools to monitor their health, and making dietary changes that focus on cutting out processed grains, seed oils, and added sugar while incorporating nutrient-dense foods like fermented products, protein, and antioxidants.

What are the 'six lifelong food principles' that can be implemented by both carnivores and vegans?

The six lifelong food principles focus on avoiding the 'Unholy Trinity' of processed grains, seed oils, and added sugar while ensuring a diet rich in fermented foods, proteins, antioxidants, and essential nutrients like vitamin D.

Why does the speaker believe that dietary philosophies like veganism and carnivorism are confusing?

The speaker believes that dietary philosophies are confusing because they often distract from the central issue of controlling the five key biomarkers. Instead of focusing on specific diets, the goal should be optimizing health markers to reduce the risk of diseases.

What is the relationship between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism according to the transcript?

The speaker mentions that sleep and circadian rhythm are crucial for regulating metabolism. Proper sleep and alignment with the circadian rhythm are important factors for maintaining healthy biomarkers and overall metabolic function.

Why does the speaker advocate for a return to more traditional methods of food production?

The speaker believes that the chemicals used in modern food production, especially in the United States (e.g., glyphosate in grains), are contributing to health issues. They advocate for traditional food production methods, like sourdough bread and non-chemically treated grains, which have been used for generations and are healthier.

What is the speaker’s stance on the medical system in the United States?

The speaker criticizes the U.S. medical system for being overly focused on pharmaceutical solutions and waiting for diseases to become 'treatable' rather than prioritizing preventive measures. They believe that the system is corrupted by the influence of the pharmaceutical and food industries.

How does the speaker propose fixing the health issues in the United States?

The speaker suggests reforming the medical system by focusing on controlling the five biomarkers and removing the corruption influenced by the pharmaceutical and food industries. They also propose using executive orders or congressional action to decouple funding for regulatory agencies from industry interests.

Why does the speaker believe that people from both political sides (left and right) can come together on health-related issues?

The speaker believes that health-related issues like removing harmful chemicals from food and improving medical guidance are bipartisan concerns. They mention how audiences from both sides have shown interest in these reforms, which could unite people against the corrupting influence of industry on public health policies.
