    To Book a Private 1:1 Consultation with RICH, CLICK HERE https://calendly.com/richard-smith-nu... Summary In this episode of the Keto Pro Podcast, Richard Smith chats with his good friend, a titan within the nutritional world, Ivor Cummins to discuss the misconceptions surrounding dietary saturated fat and cholesterol. They explore the historical context of cholesterol research, the importance of understanding cholesterol numbers, and the detrimental effects of certain dietary choices, particularly the 'Devil's Triad' of sugars, refined grains, and vegetable oils. The conversation also delves into the psychological aspects of health, emphasizing the need for mental resilience and the power of positive thinking in achieving health goals. Takeaways Saturated fat does not cause cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol is essential for cell formation and hormone production. Plant sterols can be toxic and are not beneficial for health. Healthy diets should focus on nutrient-dense foods like meat, fish, and eggs. Cholesterol numbers are often misleading and should not be the sole focus of health assessments. The body has mechanisms to excrete non-human cholesterol effectively. The 'Devil's Triad' includes sugars, refined grains, and vegetable oils, which should be avoided. Mental resilience and positive thinking are crucial for health improvement. Empowering oneself in the present can help reshape the future. Helping others with nutritional knowledge is a key motivation for health professionals.

  • Is Your Microbial Community Holding You Back from Optimal Health? - With Natasha Campbell McBride
    Jan 8 2025
    Summary In this episode of the Keto Pro Podcast, Richard Smith interviews Dr. Natasha, a medical doctor and nutritionist, who discusses the GAPS nutritional protocol. Dr. Natasha shares her journey into nutrition after her child's autism diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of gut health in preventing chronic diseases. She explains how the GAPS diet aims to restore balance to the microbial community in the body through dietary changes, particularly focusing on the role of fermented foods and animal products. The conversation challenges conventional dietary wisdom and critiques industrial agriculture, advocating for a return to traditional farming practices and a diet rich in animal foods. Takeaways Every chronic disease begins in the digestive system. Food is the most powerful influence on health. The GAPS diet is designed to restore gut health. Fermentation enhances nutrient absorption and digestion. Human beings can thrive without plant foods. Industrial agriculture harms our health and environment. Mainstream dietary advice is often misleading. True organic farming practices are essential for health. Animal foods provide all necessary nutrients for humans. Personal experiences can lead to profound health transformations.

  • Challenging Dietary Norms: The Truth About Nutrition Part 1
    Dec 21 2024
    Summary In this conversation, Richard Smith & Lee Copus challenge common dietary beliefs, particularly regarding the roles of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and fats in human health. He argues that fruits and vegetables may not provide the antioxidant benefits often attributed to them, while emphasizing the importance of protein and saturated fats for cellular health. Smith also discusses the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol and the benefits of animal proteins, including their vitamin C content. He concludes by advocating for a ketogenic or carnivore diet as a means to optimize health. Takeaways Fruits and vegetables do not provide true antioxidant benefits. A ketogenic lifestyle can elevate glutathione levels effectively. Protein is crucial for healing and repairing body cells. Turmeric is a pro-oxidant and should not be consumed long-term. Cholesterol is essential for various bodily functions. Saturated fats are beneficial and necessary for health. Olive oil can oxidize and is not the best cooking fat. Vitamin C is present in sufficient amounts in animal proteins. Kale's vitamin C is less accessible due to flavonoids. A low-carb diet reduces the body's requirement for vitamin C.

  • Unlocking Health: The Root Cause Approach
    Dec 21 2024
    Summary In this episode of the Keto Pro Podcast, Richard Smith and Helen Taylor discuss the importance of understanding health from a root cause perspective rather than just treating symptoms. They delve into topics such as the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, the role of hormones and HRT, the significance of cortisol in stress management, and the impact of diet on health recovery. They also explore the relationship between genetics and epigenetics, emphasizing the power of personal responsibility in health choices. Takeaways Medication should be used in the short term. Understanding the root cause of health issues is crucial. Cholesterol is essential for brain health and overall function. Cortisol is necessary for bodily functions, not just a stress hormone. Diet plays a significant role in health recovery and well-being. Genetics provide a framework, but epigenetics allow for change. The environment and social circles can impact health outcomes. Taking ownership of one's health is empowering and necessary. Education about nutrition and health is vital for making informed choices. Don't just accept a pill; seek to understand the underlying issues.

  • The Role of Mitochondria in Cancer and Can We Control It?
    Oct 1 2024
    In this conversation, Richard Smith interviews Professor Seyfried, a leading expert in metabolic cancer treatment. They discuss the prevailing theories of cancer, emphasizing the importance of understanding cancer as a metabolic disease rather than a genetic one. The conversation explores the role of diet, particularly ketogenic diets, in managing cancer, the significance of mitochondria in cellular health, and the impact of glucose and glutamine on cancer growth. They also touch on the importance of exercise, environmental factors, and the future of cancer treatment through metabolic therapy. Takeaways Cancer is not solely a genetic disease; it's a mitochondrial metabolic disease. The somatic mutation theory of cancer is being challenged by new evidence. Diet and lifestyle play crucial roles in cancer prevention and management. Mitochondria are central to understanding cancer metabolism. Glucose and glutamine are primary fuels for cancer cells. Transitioning to a ketogenic diet can help manage cancer effectively. Exercise is vital for maintaining metabolic health and combating cancer. Environmental factors significantly influence cancer development. Epigenetics plays a role in cancer, but the focus should be on treatment. Metabolic therapy offers a promising future for cancer treatment.
