084: Dr. Mark Hyman - Saturated Fat Isn't The Enemy | Eat Fat, Get Thin | Stop Fearing Cholesterol
This week, we have Dr. Mark Hyman back on the show for round 2. We talk about the subject of his new book, Eat Fat, Get Thin. This book shatters the old paradigm that had us fearing the consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol. It's time we stop fearing fat. Mark is a 9 time #1 New York Times bestselling author who is on a mission to transform healthcare. He tackles the root causes of chronic illness through functional medicine. Mark is a practicing family physician and an internationally recognized leader in his field. In this episode, we discuss: The only 2 cholesterol tests that matter Saturated fat isn't the enemy Saturated fat mixed with sugar or refined carbs is the problem... sweet fat We need to start using statin drugs intelligently Eating fat speeds up your metabolism Mark's evolution from being chubby in his early thirties to fit at 56 How can we get people to stop fearing fat? Your body is the best doctor in the room Curb your cravings with fat Sugar is more addictive than cocaine Carbohydrate intolerance, what is it? FLC Syndrome, do you feel like crap? Nutritionism has gotten us into a lot of trouble Be smart about buying packaged foods A low-fat vegan diet isn't the answer Meat should be eaten as a condiment Yes vegans and vegetarians can get enough fat from their diets We've been brainwashed by doctors and the media to think that cholesterol is bad Should we consider butter, coconut oil, and palm oil health foods? There are two types of LDL, the so-called bad cholesterol Boost your brain and metabolism with MCT oil Coconut oil vs. palm oil Vegan and paleo diets are very similar, overall Related links: Dr. Mark Hyman - Eat Fat, Get Thin (book) and Q&A video Dr. Mark Hyman's website Follow Dr. Mark Hyman on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter Dr. Mark Hyman - The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet (book) Dr. Mark Hyman - Got Proof?

He's the creator of AsktheDentist.com, whose mission is to help people take control of their dental health, get out of pain, and get unbiased answers about their teeth. Mark is the author of The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox and an expert when it comes to sleep apnea. In this episode, we discuss: How a dentist became a sleep apnea expert Sleep disordered breathing, a catch-all term How many of us are suffering from sleep disordered breathing? Think you might have sleep apnea? Signs and symptoms that warrant a sleep study What is at the root of sleep disordered breathing? The long and short term effects of sleep disordered breathing Sleep trumps everything People who suffer from sleep apnea experience physical changes in their face The 3 types of sleep apnea You don't need to snore to have sleep apnea What physically happens when someone elicits sleep disordered breathing? If you have sleep apnea, your adrenals pay the price Body type doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to sleep disordered breathing If you snore, you have a problem that should be addressed Is the sleep information provided by the Fitbit legit? Sleep apnea fixes include a CPAP/APAP, an oral appliance, postural therapy, and surgery Sleep hacks can be great but if you have a small airway... they won't be enough The best pillow, ever! Sleeping positions... which is best? Being a light sleeper isn't normal Why Mark uses a fluoride paste on his teeth before bed Manage the ratio of good to bad bacteria in your mouth by oil pulling It's not necessary to oil pull for the full 20 minutes Breast feeding helps develop the babies airway An easy way to floss using a floss stick What happens in the mouth, happens in the rest of the body Related links: Dr. Mark Burhenne - The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox (book) Ask the Dentist - Dr. Mark Burhenne's website Follow Dr. Mark Burhenne on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter MyPillow Dirk Pearson & Sandy Shaw - Life Extension (book) Listerine Ultraclean Flosser Dr. Tung's Smart Floss Cocofloss Marni Wasserman's Home-Made Cooking Series: Get In Your Kitchen! - no longer available Sunwarrior <== 20% off all Sunwarrior products & free shipping over $50 (US only) TUHP Facebook group Related episodes: 288: Dr. Steven Lin – The Dental Diet • Oxygen Is The Most Crucial Nutrient • Vitamin K1 vs. K2 088: Nadine Artemis – Heal Cavities & Receding Gums | Your Oral Mircrobiome Matters | Simply Brush With Baking Soda 010: Samantha Gladish – Natural Oral Care And Quality Nutrition 116: Dr. Michael Breus – The Mystery Of Sleep • What Is Your Chronotype? • The Best Pillow And Mattress 052: Shawn Stevenson – Sleep Smarter | Living Spring Water | Solutions For Snoring Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links.

076: Introducing Our New Habits App (minicast)
Today marks a very exciting day for us... It's the official launch day of our new iOS app, Habits! We designed this app with YOU in mind. Each episode of The Ultimate Health Podcast is filled to the brim with health information and inspiration. This is great but can be overwhelming (even for us). So... We've created a tool that allows you to start practicing and adopting healthy habits, right away. These can be from the podcast or elsewhere. It's time to get organized! You start out by selecting a few habits that you want to adopt from a list of over 100 ideas that come preloaded in the app. They are categorized under nutrition, fitness, sleep, personal care, personal growth, and miscellaneous. You also have the ability to create your own habits. The list of healthy habits included in the app are inspired from episodes of The Ultimate Health Podcast, co-hosted by Dr. Jesse Chappus & Marni Wasserman. Some of their world-class guests include Gretchen Rubin, Lewis Howes, David Wolfe, and Rich Roll. Detailed information describing the habits and how they will benefit you are included. Links to associated podcast episodes are also available within the app. There is a section in the app for keeping notes. This is where you can journal, jot down recipes, and keep track of the benefits you are experiencing as you incorporate new habits. A personal profile in the app keeps track of the habits you are currently practicing along with the habits you've already adopted. You can set a daily reminder to help keep you on track. Adopting healthy habits just got easier for you! *Note: Habits app is no longer available
