The Primal Podcast

Love the show, I’m so glad I found it. So many important guests with information we need to know to reclaim our health. One thing I would urge though, not to accept sponsors like Quaker Oats and Pepsi. They’re not supporting the goals listeners have.

Interesting show, but when you listen to a series of episodes, you find that there are too many contradictions in the recommendations, way beyond the varying nuances you would expect in a science-based podcast. Once episode says to have a protein shake before bed, other episodes say protein shakes are terrible. One episode says Vitamin D and B-vitamin supplements can help with sleep, other episodes say stop taking Vitamin D and that B-vitamin supplements are toxic! One episode says too much fat is bad, and other episodes say eat a lot of fat. Etc. etc. This has happened so much that I am now highly skeptical of the information presented. I had high hopes and was enjoying the podcast, but it is too confusing when there are so many contradictions. I understand the idea of presenting a variety of experts, but the podcast needs to have a more clear vision so that listeners can make healthy changes without the information changing Willy-nilly. Drink protein shakes! NO! protein shakes are damaging! The host needs to synthesize the arguments and make sure her guests are not constantly giving contradictory information.

Tina has gotten a little greedy in my opinion. She does her own ads which is understandable but there’s a lot more ads than just those and it’s like watching TV where every 2 minutes pops up a different ad. I’ve even heard McDonald’s on here which is not good for a health podcast.

The Chafee interview is the worst I’ve heard among hundreds of health/medical podcasts. He literally says ‘all sugars are carbs so all carbs are sugars’. Guess he never heard of fiber, the only ‘Dr’ to miss all those classes. The rest is all ‘Go Carnivore’. Poor interview all the way around
