Andres Preschel interviews Kevin "063: Cardiovascular Disease, Statins, Metformin, and Rapamycin with Kevin Bass"
November 29, 2022 18:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBFrom Andres's show notes: "Despite what we want to believe, cardiovascular disease does not only start once we are in our 50s and 60s. As we welcome Kevin Bass back to the Know Your Physio podcast, we hear his opinions on cholesterol, the medications to take, and opinions on collected long-term genetic studies. We don’t hold back on having a controversial conversation around starting the reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in your mid to late 20s, the role of genetics in ...

Risks and benefits of resistance training, and misinformation in the fitness industry
November 27, 2022 21:10 - 20 minutes - 37.9 MBFor the past few months, thanks to @derek_barbellmedicine (and thanks to @austin_barbellmedicine for referring me to him), I have seen big improvements in my back pain and stiffness, and I'm able to train my sport and lift with less pain than I thought possible. I have been struggling with lower back pain for more than a decade, and the idea that simply strengthening and progressively overloading my back using the very movements that cause it to hurt has been a welcome challenge to my belie...
#1. Kevin Folta: glyphosate, Roundup Ready, Monsanto, GMOs, biotech, and science communication
November 16, 2022 05:05 - 1 hour - 129 MBIn this video, I talk with Kevin Folta about glyphosate, Roundup Ready, Monsanto, GMOs, biotech, and science communication. We talk about some of the current controversies in agricultural science and try to explain how they came to be. === Like, comment, subscribe.

Does lifting weights shorten lifespan?
October 17, 2022 07:22 - 18 minutes - 33.5 MBDoes lifting weights automatically make someone healthier? Not so fast. One recent study showed that current and former power athletes (wrestlers, judo players, and powerlifters) have higher rates of metabolic dysfunction than non-athletes, despite a lower body fat percentage and, for active athletes, a smaller waist circumference (PMID 30148100). See figure in post. Being big and strong does not automatically make someone healthy. In fact, the opposite might be true. With our culture’s ...
The truth about seed oils
October 09, 2022 07:39 - 15 minutes - 28 MBDo seed oils cause inflammation? Are heated seed oils bad for you? Are seed oils part of a global conspiracy by agricultural and pharmaceutical companies to ruin our health and profit from it? Kevin confronts these questions head-on in this podcast. === Like, comment, subscribe.

Paul Mason DEBUNKED
October 08, 2022 02:14 - 59 minutes - 110 MBIn this podcast, I debunk Paul Mason's nutrition science book chapter in the book Clinical Sports Medicine by Brukner and Khan. Through a critique of just the introductory section, I show that it is not a work of science. If Paul would like to see further debunkings of the other sections (which in many cases are worse), please let me know and I would be happy to do further videos. === Like, comment, subscribe.

Joe Rogan LASHES OUT at Kevin Folta about Monsanto's glyphosate, gets DEBUNKED by Rhonda Patrick's mentor
September 20, 2022 10:05 - 36 minutes - 67.7 MBIn this episode, I talk about how Joe Rogan recently lashed out at the agricultural scientist Kevin Folta when Kevin discussed an alternative interpretation of the scientific data that was different than the one that Joe preferred and was familiar with. Following lockstep with Chris Kresser, an alternative health guru that has been deeply influential on Joe, Jhee has been misled to believe that all exposures to glyphosate are harmful, no matter how low the dose, and expresses anger and outr...
Why are there so many online health cults?
September 14, 2022 14:28 - 15 minutes - 28.1 MBCult-like behavior among groups that promote various health interventions or lifestyle practices is the norm. Such groups NOT being cult-like is extremely rare. These groups, no matter what they promote, overhype benefits and underplay risks. They condescend to outsiders; they engage in dogmatic proclamations; and they are highly resistant to new information that might challenge their black-and-white narratives. In fact, criticism will often be interpreted as immoral, as encouraging people ...
Does Momentous's PR Lotion work? A critical scientific review.
September 11, 2022 15:50 - 30 minutes - 58 MBIn this episode, I look at press releases, posters, scientific publications, and @peterattiamd’s recent review of PR Lotion. I show that the press releases announcing research do not link to any credible peer-reviewed research, despite Momentous-funded research apparently taking place at four separate research institutions. I show that the one peer-reviewed paper on PR Lotion (this one not funded by Momentous) showed no buffering capacity in the blood, no increase in bicarbonate in the bloo...
Is resistance training overhyped?
September 11, 2022 01:14 - 15 minutes - 29 MBWhen it comes to promoting resistance training for health, lifting bros want it both ways. They refuse to let anyone criticize any of their current lifting practices—despite an injury rate between 1-2 injuries per year for most strength sports [1]. They downplay increasing rates of body dysmorphia among men [2], eating disorders [3], and the psychological and physical risks associated with the lifestyles idolized by their communities [4-6]. In the same breath, they extol the health benefit...
The toxic online cult of resistance training and the harms of weightlifting culture
September 04, 2022 04:56 - 47 minutes - 88 MBResistance training is frequently promoted online as if it has no risks or downsides. But this is mainly because promoting resistance training like this advances the careers of those who use this kind of messaging. It isn’t to benefit the their audiences. It’s to benefit the promoters. And those of us who have been in the lifting game for a while know better. Resistance training, while having important benefits to function especially later in life, increases the risks of a variety of hea...
Grains provide more nutrition than meat: debunking the carnivore and Paleo diets.
September 02, 2022 05:33 - 29 minutes - 11.1 MBIn this episode, I ask the question: which diet would produce more nutrient deficiencies. Using the nutrient calculator Chronometer, I am surprised to find that an all-whole wheat bagel diet actually produces fewer nutrient deficiencies than an all-ribeye diet. If one was forced to choose between eating only wheat or meat, and one was aiming at the most nutritious diet, the answer is clearly to eat only wheat. Even more surprisingly, a diet consisting of 43% calories from lentils, 43% fro...
Obesity, vaccines, & COVID: what the data REALLY say
September 01, 2022 06:00 - 42 minutes - 78.1 MBThis episode examines the purported connection between obesity and COVID outcomes. While obesity does somewhat worsen COVID outcomes, the impact is modest and dramatically overstated. These data have also been weaponized by antivaxxers and politicians for cynical ends. Many COVID-obesity narratives create a false dichotomy between vaccination and obesity, suggesting that what we really need is to fight obesity, not vaccinate. Let us look at the data. First, mild obesity confers only a v...
Debunking Ancel Keys conspiracy theories
August 31, 2022 10:40 - 25 minutes - 47.1 MBIn this episode, I discuss facts and myths about Ancel Keys. If carbs are the cause of obesity, as they are for many (non-scientist) diet book authors, then someone is *responsible* for making us eat so many carbs. Ancel Keys provides a convenient enemy. He provides a unitary target, a sole cause, a single demon, one story. But how TRUE is this story? Let us review. First, it is claimed that Ancel Keys cherrypicked his Seven Country Study: he had access to the data for 22 countries but c...
Eggs, cholesterol, and health
August 30, 2022 05:39 - 11 minutes - 21.7 MBIt is now widely accepted that eggs have no meaningful impact on blood cholesterol levels. Dietary cholesterol is said not to impact blood cholesterol. But is this true? The impact of eggs on dietary cholesterol—and health—really depends on background diet and genetics. Now, it’s true that the impact of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol is quite modest [1], and it only impacts about 20-30% of the population [2]. But, on the other hand, almost nobody knows whether they are in that 2...
Your brain on statins
August 29, 2022 06:13 - 39 minutes - 72.8 MBA study looking at people with genetic variants that mimic the effect of statins and PCSK9 inhibitors showed significantly worse cognition and brain area among those with the statin variants. This suggests that statins may negatively impact the brain (PMID 35953131). This suggests that important benefits to cerebrovascular disease may be counterbalanced by other negative effects on the brain by statins through other mechanisms. An important caveat to the study is that while these statin-mi...
DEBUNKING continuous glucose monitoring for healthy people: frequently asked questions
August 25, 2022 05:26 - 32 minutes - 59.7 MBIn this episode, I provide critical, science-based answers to the following questions: Don’t traditional clinical tests miss the glucose variability that can only be detected by CGM? Doesn’t high blood glucose predict heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.? So, this is a reason for non-diabetics to use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), right? Doesn’t high blood glucose variability predict heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.? OK, but although we don’t know exactl...
Why the deadlift is dangerous--a critique of Andy Galpin's position
August 24, 2022 05:36 - 35 minutes - 67.4 MBIn this episode, I explain why @drandygalpin's defense of the deadlift is actually a clear demonstration that it is a dangerous lift. Specifically, he notes at least four conditions that must be met for the deadlift to be safe: appropriate positioning, volume, intensity, and complexity. I note that it is difficult to meet those conditions consistently in the long-term while still progressing on the lift. More importantly, it is very difficult to know how to meet those conditions while stil...
Why the evidence pyramid is wrong, anecdote is sometimes right, and expert opinion is always the final word
August 20, 2022 20:59 - 24 minutes - 45.9 MBIn this episode, I discuss why the evidence pyramid is a misleading and sometimes an unscientific way to interpret evidence; why anecdote is sometimes right; and why expert opinion is always the final word. Specifically, sometimes systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are misleading, either designed improperly or using bad data. An excellent example of this is the Ivermectin systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that purported to ...

My personal experience with injuries from weight training
August 03, 2022 23:39 - 38 minutes - 35.9 MBIt is in vogue in resistance training circles to only publicly promote the benefits of resistance training while avoiding any mention of downsides. The rationale that mention of downsides and risks will discourage people from resistance training. In this video, I talk about my journey in resistance training and how my overzealous application of training in my early training career led to or accelerated the development of lower back problems and other injuries. I talk about how I wish I had ...

Is chemical sunscreen toxic? We don't know.
July 19, 2022 04:39 - 28 minutes - 13 MBIn this video, by looking at press releases, interviews, and scientific papers, I show very clearly that the FDA does not specifically endorse the use of chemical sunscreen nor does it call chemical sunscreen safe. Rather, FDA explicitly says that chemical sunscreens are NOT Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective (GRASE), allowing their use only as a kind of grandfathering until safety data has been obtained over the next few years, in light of recent data suggesting that blood concentra...

I note that wide fluctuations in testosterone can produce side effects that may be mitigated by more frequent injections.

When participants in this crossover trial were assigned to placebo, they experienced nearly as many muscle-related side effects as they did when they were assigned to received a statin. The side effects were also of the same intensity. There may be a small increase in the incidence of side effects on statins versus placebo, but the large ma...
