  2. Wellness Scams, Apple Cider Vinegar & Seed Oil Hypocrisy | Drew Harrisberg, Bsc

    17 MAR

    Wellness Scams, Apple Cider Vinegar & Seed Oil Hypocrisy | Drew Harrisberg, Bsc

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Drew Harrisberg, an exercise physiologist, diabetes educator, and founder of Drew’s Daily Dose. We dive into the science behind Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)—does it actually help with blood sugar, weight loss, digestion, and overall health, or is it just another overhyped wellness trend? We also explore the power of anecdotes in the wellness industry, starting with Belle Gibson’s story and the new Netflix series on ACV. How can we separate fact from fiction when faced with bold health claims on social media? What we cover: • ACV and blood sugar – does it really help? • ACV and weight loss – what does the science say? • ACV vs. other blood sugar strategies (walking, fiber, etc.) • Potential downsides – acid, teeth damage, capsules, and more • How to take ACV without ruining your teeth • Should Simon take Bragg’s ACV as a sponsor? Ethics of podcast ads Later, Drew shares a moving tribute to his dog, Dennis, reflecting on grief, love, and celebrating life. We also talk about memory dividends and why showing up for the people (and pets) we love matters. We wrap up with a shocking magic trick, plenty of laughs, and a classic dad joke.

    Is this supplement legitimate? Science of Fatty15 and C15:0 | Bill Harris, PhD

    You may have heard claims that C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid) is the first essential fat discovered in 90 years, a powerful longevity booster, and a game-changer for metabolic health. But how much of this is backed by solid science? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bill Harris, a leading expert in fatty acid research, to critically evaluate the evidence behind C15:0. We break down the population studies linking it to health benefits, the key clinical trials testing its effects, and whether the marketing around Fatty15 is ahead of the actual data. In this episode, we cover: What exactly is C15:0, and how does it compare to other fats? The claim that C15:0 is an essential nutrient—does it meet the criteria? The current evidence on C15:0 and its impact on cholesterol, glucose, and inflammation Does C15:0 supplementation mimic omega-3s, metformin, or rapamycin? The broader issue of patenting a naturally occurring compound For more details and supporting studies, visit the full show notes.

But beyond the science, we also discuss a critical issue in health communication—the responsibility of podcast hosts when platforming health claims.

  8. Creatine questions and misconceptions | Simon Hill, Msc, Bsc

    3 FEB

    Creatine questions and misconceptions | Simon Hill, Msc, Bsc

    Think creatine supplementation is all about timing and loading? You might be surprised. In episode #350, I dive into six frequently asked questions about creatine, inspired by a follow-up review by Dr. Jose Antonio and colleagues. Whether you’re just starting with creatine or already supplementing, this episode will provide clarity and practical insights. Learn why timing matters less than consistency, whether co-supplements like carbs enhance effectiveness, and if creatine affects blood pressure, fertility, or urine production. This is your ultimate guide to making informed decisions about creatine supplementation. Key highlights include: Does the timing of creatine intake matter? Do other compounds enhance creatine’s effectiveness? Does creatine affect blood pressure or increase urine production? Is creatine safe to use during pregnancy? Can creatine supplementation impact male fertility? Discover insights and supporting studies in the full show notes. Introduction (00:00) Timing of Creatine Supplementation (02:50) Enhancing Creatine Effectiveness with Other Compounds (05:06) Creatine and Blood Pressure (06:31) Creatine and Urine Production (08:35) Creatine Safety During Pregnancy (10:56) Creatine and Male Fertility (12:49) Recap and Final Thoughts (14:37) Outro (17:12) This episode is brought to you by: 38TERA Consider 38TERA's DMN prebiotic supplement a daily multivitamin for your gut.
