We live in exciting times when it comes to health information and it is thanks in part to the people who are active sharing information in the mainstream about nutrition, fitness and lifestyle changes. One of those people is a Pennsylvania-based man with a doctorate of nutrition named Dr. Mike Roussell, PhD who is a passionate advocate for taking complex nutritional concepts and making them palatable to the general public by translating them into practical advice the people can use to lose weight and get health. He’s the author of the Kindle e-book The 6 Pillars of Nutrition – A Simple Diet Solution for Permanent Weight Loss, Better Health, and a Longer Life and a regular contributor to Men’s Health and many other national print publications and leading online fitness outlets. Jimmy found out about Dr. Mike in this April 2014 “Ask The Diet Doctor” column at Shape.com.
Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Roussell have an engaging conversation about why he decided not to pursue his medical degree, how The Zone Diet by Dr. Barry Sears impacted his views on nutrition, why it makes sense to explore the benefits of a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet in a healthy lifestyle, why ketogenic diets are still the “black sheep” of nutrition, how the science of low-carb diets is so convincing but completely missed by many, why trying to meet an arbitrary LDL target is “kinda crazy,” why anyone working in nutrition needs a psychology degree, the metabolic benefits that can occur with a step-wise reduction in carbohydrates, why food company influence on nutrition is overblown, why “high-protein” low-carb is a “misnomer,” how there are no negative changes in health that happen with a high-fat diet, how using “carbohydrate restriction” is a better term than “low-carb,” the body is very good at adapting to things, how a very low-carb diet can dehydrate you and mess with your electrolyte balance, the stunning exercise performance he achieved in a ketogenic state, what the DASH diet is and why it’s not what it is claimed to be, why the salt restriction recommendation is silly and impractical, the unintended consequences of having too low sodium, why a plant-based diet is really only about reducing saturated fat, the DASH diet test he did WITH red meat to see what would happen, and so much more.
