Nina Teicholz – Interview on the Joe Rogan Experience
Nina Teicholz spent nine years researching 10,000 scientific papers for her book “The Big Fat Surprise“.
I read “The Big Fat Surprise” when it came out in 2014. I don’t even recall how I became aware of it. As the son of a MD and a RN, I thought I knew a lot! I was comfortable in trusting the status quo. Talk about a paradigm shift! This book led me on a quest to understand why I was always hungry, and couldn’t lose weight. I have learned much more along the way
This book opened my eyes to the power and the damage government guidelines can wreak when the “Wizards of Smart” get it wrong. Our current obesity epidemic and the whole host metabolic disorders that our friends and family suffer with may be the result of dietary guidelines forced on us by a government using bad science (if any science)!
In the US we have fifty states. Our original Constitution never gave the Federal Government the authority to push out dietary guidelines. One can only imagine how different things may have been if we would have had 50 separate State guidelines instead of one. Would we have discovered our mistakes earlier in the 50 separate “laboratories”?

How to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes, The Quick Start Guide
I see many many doctors, health professionals, and just regular people helping themselves, but MOST people suffering have not received this message yet. Please share this post.
From Jason Fung’s blog at idmprogram.com:
“A Fully Reversible Disease
Most doctors, dietitians and diabetes specialists claim that type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease. The American Diabetes Association, for example, almost proudly proclaims this on its website. Once you get the diagnosis, it’s a life sentence. But, it’s actually a great big lie. Type 2 diabetes is almost always reversible and this is almost ridiculously easy to prove. This is great news for the more than 50% of American adults who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes.”
