This week we’re joined by the inspiring Professor Tim Noakes of The Noakes Foundation, author of over 750 books and articles, and a member of the National Research Foundation in South Africa.
Professor Noakes is dedicated to educating the world about the benefits of optimum nutrition, mainly through advocating a low carb diet, and has in the past faced-off against the establishment in order to do so.
In this very special show, Professor Noakes discusses the factors that made him determined to change the way the world eats, the benefits of following his nutritional advice, and the incredible battle that led to his vindication.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Athletes don’t die of dehydration - they die of over-hydration. Professor Noakes and his team were among the first to recognise this, and began to advise the health industry, who were fixed on selling hydrating products to athletes.
The court case that almost destroyed Professor Noakes’ career was painful and arduous, but he is now glad he endured it, as it allowed him to prove, legally, that the low carb diet was safe and effective.
Obesity, Type II Diabetes and Insulin Resistance all share one common symptom: hunger. If you don’t beat the food cravings, you can’t beat the problems that come as a result.
You get hungry, but what drives that hunger, and the subsequent problems, are high-carbohydrate, sugary foods that are being perpetually sold to us by corporations in search of profits.
What you eat determines what you eat next. Carbohydrates stimulate our need for more, which increases our sugar intake and causes us to pile on the weight.
Diabetes is a disease of behaviour, and so if we don’t treat the behaviour, we cannot control the disease.
The incidence of Type II Diabetes have increased four-fold in the past 35 years. Current treatment costs in the US are around 245 billion dollars per year. Within the next ten years, this has the potential bankrupt nations.
On the back of his huge best-seller, Professor Noakes realised that he could use his newfound means to invest in low-carb research, and so was born The Noakes Foundation.
Academia is unfortunately beset by a bullying culture. In Professor Noakes’ opinion, we must do all we can to eradicate bullying and agenda, in order to clearly see the truth behind each argument without prejudice.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I could tell you where every molecule of glucose went, from your mouth to your muscles.’
‘I had to do this or face the consequences’
‘It took me forty years to build up Sports Science. Sports Science no longer exists at the University’
‘I just want you to drown (the prosecution) in science’
‘It’s difficult to get a man to understand something if his salary depends on his not understanding it’

Lore of Nutrition: Challenging Conventional Dietary Beliefs by Tim Noakes
ABOUT THE GUEST
Professor Tim Noakes
Professor Noakes has published more than 750 scientific books and articles. He has been cited more than 19 000 times in scientific literature, has an H-index of 71 and is rated an A1 scientist by the National Research Foundation of South Africa. After coming across research which denounced current international dietary guidelines as fallacy, Prof Noakes started researching the effects of carbohydrates, proteins and fats on the human race. His research convinced him that a high fat, low carb diet is the healthiest option for many.
After being left frustrated by a decline in his personal health, Prof Noakes has made it his mission to reverse the global trend and redefine the dietary guidelines. The Noakes Foundation is the catalyst for this change. It seeks to reveal what genuine healthy nutrition looks like and, in doing so, make a difference in the lives of millions of people.
