    How America Got Fat (It Wasn't the Seed Oils)

    In the early 1960s, about 1 in 8 American adults had obesity. Now it's about 4 in 10. I went back to 1961 to find out what actually made us gain the weight, and no, it wasn't the seed oils. Want my help? Book a call: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulation WHAT I FOUND - Every era picked a new villain (fat, carbs, meat, "toxins", seed oils) and sold a new fix, and the line kept climbing. - By 2010 the American food supply put about 450 more calories a day in front of each of us than in 1970. - Jobs that kept you moving went from almost half to under 20%, and a lot of food got built to be hard to stop eating. - What works is boring: enough protein, food you like in amounts that fit, your steps, lifting, and someone keeping you honest.

    David Protein Bars: How the Internet Got It Wrong

    A lawsuit said David protein bars had nearly double the calories on the label. I read all 46 pages, the FDA file and the safety studies. Here's what the lawsuit missed, what EPG actually is, and how much is too much. Want my help? Book a call: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulation WHAT I FOUND - The lab's fat test counts EPG like regular fat, at 9 calories a gram. Your body gets about 0.7, by the maker's figure. - Using their own numbers, that one fix brings Blueberry Pie to about 179 calories by my math, inside the FDA's 20% window. - In the 8-week trial, 10 g of EPG a day was reasonably well tolerated. 25 and 40 g brought more gut complaints. - My rule of thumb: use bars to supplement your diet, whole foods first.

    Why Pilates Won't Give You That Body (Women's Fitness Lies)

    To sign up for my coaching: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulationTwo topics this episode, both aimed at women (guys, send this to your partner). First: why the Pilates instructor didn't get her body from Pilates, why "toning" is a myth, the osteoporosis stats nobody shows you, cycle syncing, and how the fitness industry preys on women. Then the updated truth about GLPs and Ozempic: the vicious cycle, the muscle loss nobody warns you about, and how to actually use one as a tool instead of renting your body forever.Want a coach who makes data-driven decisions instead of selling you fear?
