Andrew Briggs

Join Andrew in a captivating conversation with Dr. Cate Shanahan, a trailblazer in the medical community. With a focus on the controversial topic of seed oils, often misleadingly grouped with healthier alternatives like olive oil, Dr. Shanahan sheds light on their potential health risks, including obesity and insulin resistance. As a best-selling author and MD, she delves into the concept of a "perfect diet," the pros and cons of veganism, and the startling effects of our ancestors' diets on our health and beauty.

In this episode, we also explore Dr. Shanahan's impact on elite athletes, including her time with the Lakers during the Kobe Bryant era. Discover her approach to fat loss, optimal health, and how diet shapes not just our body, but our facial symmetry and overall beauty.

Andrew shares his journey of discovering Dr. Shanahan's work and how it aligns with his philosophy of self-reliance in health and wellness. They also discuss practical diet tips, the intriguing "sexy son hypothesis," and the staggering number of C-sections in modern childbirth.

Are seed oils as safe as they're claimed to be? What's the truth about calorie deficits and weight loss diets? Dr. Shanahan provides thought-provoking insights into these questions and more, including a discussion on various dietary patterns like carnivore and vegan diets.
