The Tipping Point with Shannon Davis - Episode 2684

Episode 2684- Vinnie Tortorich welcomes "rogue" dietitian Shannon Davis, and they discuss hitting the tipping point, PE in schools, and weight loss drugs. The Tipping Point Shannon Davis is a registered dietitian, but she describes herself as a “rogue” dietitian. (1:30) She has worked in organ transplant centers. Fatty liver disease is a carbohydrate or sugar problem, but patients were never taught that. Patients had always been told it was a problem with fat, protein, or fried foods. Dietitians need to be reflective and question the information they are recommending. (3:30)  As a pharmaceutical rep, she realized she was peddling meds and not helping, and she hit her tipping point. (5:00) She discovered the low-carb and ketogenic health space, and now she feels she has found her purpose in teaching a healthy lifestyle. They discuss misinformation regarding carbs and “complex carbs.” (14:00) Shannon reviews her medical education and what she was advised to teach diabetics about carbs. (15:00) Besides interventions in dietary guidelines and metabolic health, The Presidential Physical Fitness Test for students should be required in schools again. (33:00) Kids have become sedentary, and they become adults who sit in cubicles. (42:00) The amount of medications prescribed for metabolic health is skyrocketing. (45:00) Weight Loss Medications Shannon is not opposed to medications; however, she firmly believes there is a place for them when truly necessary. (49:00) However, GLP-1s are overprescribed without a full understanding of their side effects, and oftentimes for minor weight loss. For example, hyperplasia: fat cells get smaller, but they multiply. This means that when you get off the drug, you will gain fat back, and in larger amounts. Side effects are loss of muscle and bone, digestive paralysis, optic nerve damage, erectile dysfunction, suppressed autophagy, and much more. There are natural ways to boost your own body’s GLP-1.
