  • 29. Are Plant-Based "Superfoods" Making You Sick? Deep Dive with Sally K. Norton, MPH, on Oxalates and Longevity

    29. Are Plant-Based "Superfoods" Making You Sick? Deep Dive with Sally K. Norton, MPH, on Oxalates and Longevity
    Jan 13 2025
    Think spinach salads and almond milk are the epitome of health? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, Zane sits down with Sally K. Norton, MPH, a leading expert on oxalates and author of Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick and How to Get Better. Sally shares her decades of research and personal experiences to uncover how these naturally occurring compounds in many “superfoods” can wreak havoc on your health. From joint pain and fatigue to digestive issues and even neurotoxicity, the impact of oxalates goes beyond what most of us realize. Sally and Zane explore how even the healthiest diets can sometimes be the most harmful and provide actionable advice for mitigating oxalate overload. Whether you’re a green smoothie enthusiast or simply trying to optimize your health, this conversation is a must-listen. What You’ll Learn in This Episode What are oxalates? Sally explains how these plant compounds accumulate in your body and disrupt your health.Which foods contain oxalates? From spinach and almonds to sweet potatoes and chocolate, Sally shares the surprising culprits.Symptoms of oxalate overload: Learn how oxalates can contribute to arthritis, fatigue, kidney stones, and even neurological symptoms.How to reduce oxalates safely: Discover why cutting oxalates too quickly can backfire and how to transition your diet effectively.Risks of very low-carb diets: Sally discusses the metabolic stress associated with extreme diets and their potential impact on longevity. The episode begins with Zane introducing Sally K. Norton, whose deep dive into nutrition science started with her own health struggles. Sally grew up with a "healthy" plant-heavy diet but faced recurring health issues, including arthritis, chronic fatigue, and even debilitating pelvic pain. It wasn’t until her 50s that she connected her symptoms to oxalates—a discovery that transformed her life and career. What Are Oxalates? Oxalates are plant compounds that bind to minerals like calcium in the body, forming crystals that can accumulate in tissues over time. Sally explains how these crystals can irritate connective tissues, disrupt digestion, and even impact neurological health. Foods like spinach, almonds, and sweet potatoes, though often labeled as “superfoods,” are among the highest in oxalates. The Hidden Symptoms Oxalate overload doesn’t always present obvious symptoms, which makes it easy to overlook. Sally recounts her years of undiagnosed issues—foot pain, arthritis, and even insomnia—all tied to her oxalate-rich vegetarian diet. For some, the effects may be subtle, like digestive discomfort or muscle spasms, while others experience more severe conditions, including kidney stones and chronic pain. How to Reduce Oxalates Safely A key takeaway from this episode is the importance of gradual change. Cutting oxalates too quickly can trigger a “dumping” effect, where the body releases stored oxalates too fast, leading to inflammation and other symptoms. Sally recommends starting with high-oxalate foods like almonds and spinach, reducing them slowly while incorporating calcium-rich foods like dairy to help neutralize oxalates. The Risks of Extreme Diets Zane and Sally discuss the growing popularity of very low-carb and carnivore diets. While these can help some individuals reset their systems, Sally warns against long-term adherence, citing the metabolic stress and nutrient deficiencies that can arise. She highlights the importance of balance and bio-individuality when designing a diet for optimal health and longevity. If this episode has you rethinking your diet, don’t miss Sally’s book and resources to help you navigate oxalate reduction safely.

    28. Sugar is NOT the Cause of Obesity & Type 2 Diabetes with Chris Knobbe, MD
    Nov 19 2024

    In this episode of Healthy AF (Healthy After 50), Zane Griggs sits down with Dr. Chris Knobbe, a renowned expert on nutrition and chronic disease, to uncover the shocking truth about seed oils. From their origins to their widespread use in today’s processed foods, this episode sheds light on why these oils may be the root cause of many modern health crises.

    What Are Seed Oils, and Why Are They So Prevalent?

    Dr. Knobbe describes seed oils as industrially produced oils extracted from seeds such as soy, corn, and canola. Originally introduced as a cheap cooking alternative, seed oils have now infiltrated nearly all processed foods, marketed as "heart-healthy" despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

    The Health Impact of Seed Oils

    Seed oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which, when consumed in excess, disrupt the body’s natural balance, leading to chronic inflammation. Dr. Knobbe explains how this contributes to conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and even neurodegenerative disorders.

    A History of Deception in the Food Industry

    Tracing the history of seed oils, Dr. Knobbe highlights how they were falsely promoted as a healthier alternative to animal fats. Through aggressive marketing and misleading science, they became a staple in kitchens and food products worldwide, driving a significant shift away from traditional, nutrient-rich fats like tallow and butter.

    The Science Behind Seed Oils’ Harmful Effects

    The discussion dives into the chemical instability of seed oils. Their susceptibility to oxidation not only accelerates aging but also creates harmful byproducts that damage cellular structures and DNA. Dr. Knobbe emphasizes how this oxidative stress can wreak havoc on long-term health.

    Join the Movement: Watch “The Ancestral Health Solution”

    Dr. Chris Knobbe is launching a groundbreaking documentary, “The Ancestral Health Solution”, that dives deep into the hidden dangers of seed oils and their role in the modern health crisis. This eye-opening film not only reveals the history and science behind these harmful oils but also empowers you with the tools to reclaim your health through ancestral eating.

  • 27. The Beef Initiative: Building Transparency and Trust in the Beef Industry with Texas Slim

    27. The Beef Initiative: Building Transparency and Trust in the Beef Industry with Texas Slim
    Oct 21 2024
    In this episode of Healthy AF (Healthy After 50), Zane Griggs sits down with Texas Slim, the founder of the Beef Initiative. They discuss Texas Slim’s mission to restore transparency, reconnect consumers with ranchers, and rebuild trust in the beef industry. What is the Beef Initiative? The Beef Initiative, founded by Texas Slim, aims to bridge the gap between consumers and ranchers. It’s a movement focused on transparency, quality, and returning to local, ethical food systems. The goal is to educate consumers on the value of supporting independent ranchers who prioritize sustainability and health. Understanding the Beef Industry Zane and Texas Slim explore the rise of industrial CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) systems that prioritize mass production over quality and animal welfare. Texas Slim explains how the Beef Initiative challenges this system by advocating for regenerative practices and building direct relationships with local ranchers. Deception in the Food System Texas Slim sheds light on the deceptive practices prevalent in the beef industry, particularly around labeling and marketing. The conversation emphasizes how terms like “all-natural” or “grass-fed” are often misleading, and the Beef Initiative is working to provide consumers with the knowledge they need to make informed choices. Building Relationships Between Ranchers and Consumers A cornerstone of the Beef Initiative is the direct connection between ranchers and consumers. Texas Slim highlights the importance of knowing where your food comes from and supporting those who produce it ethically. By establishing these connections, consumers can gain a sense of trust and community within the food system. Industrial CAFO System vs. Independent Ranchers The episode contrasts large-scale industrial operations with independent ranchers. Zane and Texas Slim discuss how independent ranchers focus on animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and producing healthier beef, while CAFOs often prioritize efficiency and profit. Clearing Up the Grass-Finished vs. Grain-Finished Confusion Many consumers are unsure of what “grass-finished” truly means. Texas Slim explains that grass-finished beef comes from cows that were raised exclusively on grass, while grain-finished beef involves grain feed in the final stages. This distinction plays a significant role in beef quality and nutrient density. The Future of Beef Consumption Looking forward, Texas Slim shares his vision for the future of beef consumption, emphasizing the importance of transparency, ethical practices, and supporting local food systems. He believes that the demand for higher-quality, sustainably raised beef will continue to grow as consumers become more informed. The Role of Cows in the Ecosystem Zane and Texas Slim touch on the role of cows in regenerative agriculture. Cows play an essential part in enriching soil health and biodiversity, demonstrating that well-managed cattle can be beneficial for the environment. The Return to Local Food Systems In closing, the episode emphasizes a return to local food systems. Texas Slim and Zane encourage listeners to seek out local, independent ranchers and support those who prioritize quality and sustainability. This shift can help rebuild trust and improve the health of both consumers and the planet. In this episode, Zane Griggs and Texas Slim explore the mission of the Beef Initiative and the importance of transparency in the beef industry. They highlight the need to rebuild connections between consumers and ranchers and promote regenerative practices for a healthier future.
