    386. Sugar vs. Seed Oils vs. Carbs: Which One Is Actually Making You Sick? - Dr. Gary Fettke

    Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Dr. Gary Fettke and I dive into the real drivers of modern disease: sugar, processed carbohydrates, and seed oils, and which of the three is doing the most damage. We break down the biochemistry of fructose, the polyol pathway, and how LDL particles are affected by diet. We also get into the origins of fat shaming, how pharmaceutical companies shaped public language around obesity, the fiber myth, and why cholesterol is wildly misunderstood. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more. Dr. Gary Fettke is a retired orthopedic surgeon and one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of low-carb, ketogenic, and carnivore nutrition in Australia. He was among the first in the world to describe the combination of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils as a nutritional model of inflammation and modern disease, a framework he developed back in 2013. Despite being investigated by the Australian medical board for his dietary advocacy, he has continued to push for change in national nutrition policy, helping make low-carb the nationally recognized strategy for diabetes management in Australia. He works alongside his wife Belinda Fettke, whose research tracks the ideological and corporate forces driving flawed dietary guidelines. We discuss the following: Dr. Fettke's background and updateSugar, carbs, and seed oils explainedThe polyol pathway and fructose overflowSeed oil half-life and inflammationReal-world cases and MS recoveryThe biggest dietary culpritObesity stigma and pharma influenceCholesterol, LDL particles, and statinsLipid subfractions and cardiac riskThe dietary evolutionNo biochemical need for ingested carbs_____ EPISODE RESOURCES Dr. Gary Fettke on YouTubeDr. Gary Fettke's Website Advanced Cardiovascular Health PanelUnveiling the Corruption of Our Dietary Recommendations - Interview with Dr. Gary FettkeThe Trouble with Fructose -  Interview with Dr. Gary FettkeExposing the Secrets of the Plant-Based Vegetarian Guidelines Interview with Belinda FettkeHow Kibble Can Be From Condemned Meat.

    380. Is the Carnivore Diet Unbiblical? What the Bible Says About Diets, Restrictions, and Your Body (Part 2)

    Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com _____ Is eating a limited diet, such as a Carnivore diet, or avoiding certain foods because they harm you unbiblical? This episode explores what Scripture actually says about food, freedom, and caring for the body. The Bible does not treat medically necessary or health-based food avoidance as sin. Instead, it emphasizes stewardship, wisdom, self-control, and honoring God with your body. While the New Testament removes ceremonial food restrictions, it does not require people to eat everything indiscriminately. Rather than condemning dietary limits, Scripture consistently calls for honoring God with your body and recognizing that something may be permitted yet still not be beneficial to you personally.
