Welcome to The Meat Medic Podcast. I'm your host Dr Suresh Khirwadkar. I'm a GP, Board Certified Lifestyle Physician and Functional Doctor. I help my patients improve their health by focussing on diet, nutrition and other lifestyle changes, and I made this podcast to reach more people and share how to become masters of their own health.

In this podcast we discuss all things related to diet and nutrition and how you can improve your physical and mental health by following the key principles of healthy living.

All of the information is thoroughly researched by myself, as well as drawing on over 20 years of experience and training. I am a Specialist GP as well as a Board Certified Lifestyle Physician, and I have quite extensive training in nutrition having studies with ASLM, IBLM, ACNEM and Diet Doctor.

I work extensively with diet and nutrition in my practice, and use it to help people with a vast array of issues. My focus is on holistic care, preferring to avoid medication prescriptions where possible and instead utilising lifestyle interventions to restore health and balance.

My real passion though is helping people to help themselves. I'm a huge believer in educating my patients and empowering them to prevent and treat chronic diseases themselves. My goal is to get to the point where my patients never actually need me.

Then my job is done.

    Optimising Nutrition And Data Driven Fasting With Marty Kendall Ep 80

    Optimising Nutrition And Data Driven Fasting With Marty Kendall Ep 80

    In today's jam-packed episode of The Meat Medic Podcast, I have the pleasure of interviewing the incredible Marty Kendall from OptimisingNutrition.com. This episode is overflowing with valuable insights as we navigate through a massive list of topics that Marty and I discussed in detail. We tried to keep the conversation concise while still providing depth on critical points, and I'm excited to share this wealth of knowledge with you!
    Marty is unique among our guests because he isn't a healthcare practitioner by trade. Instead, as an engineer, he was motivated to dive into the world of nutrition due to his family's journey with diabetes. This inspired him to apply his data-driven mindset and analytical skills to optimize nutrition and create innovative solutions to help others. He emphasises the importance of using glucose levels as a "fuel gauge" to guide dietary choices and explains his concept of "data-driven fasting."

    Join us as Marty shares his fascinating insights into data, science, and analytics, which have shaped the programs at OptimisingNutrition.com. His work includes data-driven fasting, personal fat thresholds, and practical strategies to deplete excess body energy while maintaining lean mass. Marty also gives us a glimpse into how his family's experience with diabetes influenced his understanding of blood glucose management.

    If you enjoy the episode and would like to see Marty return for future discussions, drop a comment below. Let's continue to learn from his data-backed approaches and hear more of his wisdom!

    Reaction: Dr. Shawn Baker (King Of Carnivore) Adds Fruit To His Diet

    Reaction: Dr. Shawn Baker (King Of Carnivore) Adds Fruit To His Diet

    I wanted to do a reaction video to this as I think it covers a lot of really good points. Don't worry, Dr. Shawn Baker (so called king of carnivore) has not gone animal based, but he discusses why he tried adding some fruit and some of the potential benefits of adding carbs to the diet, as well as discussing why his diet is not 100% Carnivore like many people think.
    The most important message I think this video sends, which I think a lot of Carnivores need to hear, is that it's not dogma, it's not a religion, and just a little bit chill on it. Find what works for your body, and be happy.

    This is HUGE: Statins, Death Risk & LDL Myth? - Ep 77

    This is HUGE: Statins, Death Risk & LDL Myth? - Ep 77

    Is everything we are taught about cholesterol a lie? Imagine a world where the very medications prescribed to save us from heart disease are, in fact, doing more harm than good. In this episode I dive into a this study that might just turn the tables on conventional wisdom.
    I'm looking at this study from Zhou et al (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-024-03288-0) which used data from the UK Biobank study, and it's causing quite a stir on platforms like Reddit. This extensive research, involving over 110,000 participants, may just challenge long-held beliefs about LDL cholesterol and its role in heart disease. But as we peel back the layers, we uncover a narrative even more compelling than LDL's innocence: the potential peril of statins and cholesterol-lowering medications.
    Statins, the go-to solution for cholesterol management, are under the microscope. Could these widely prescribed drugs be linked to an increased risk of death, overshadowing their supposed cardiovascular benefits?

    Join me as I question the status quo, armed with evidence and a critical eye. This episode is not just a discussion—it's a call to rethink everything we've been taught about cholesterol, heart health and medications.

    These Nutrition Guidelines On Carbs Are Disgusting - Ep 75

    These Nutrition Guidelines On Carbs Are Disgusting - Ep 75

    🔍 The Great Carb Debate: Exposing Dietary Guidelines | The Meat Medic Podcast with Dr. Suresh Khirwadkar 🥩📚
    Welcome to this episode of The Meat Medic Podcast where I stand up (quite literally) to tackle the controversial topic of carbohydrate consumption according to the US, UK, and Australian dietary guidelines. 🌏🍞

    In a shift from the norm, I've decided to deliver this episode on my feet, energised and ready to dissect the "absolutely disgusting" and "bogus" recommendations for carb intake that these guidelines promote. 🚶‍♂️🚫

    Prepare to be intrigued as I break down why these guidelines might as well be a recipe for a health disaster, advocating for shockingly high amounts of carbohydrates that seem more fiction than nutrition fact. 📖❌ With a mix of critical analysis and straightforward talk, I question the logic behind suggesting we fuel up on carbs as if preparing for a marathon we never signed up for. 🏃‍♂️💭

    I aim to make you rethink everything you've been told about carbs. Imagine visualising the recommended carb intake with actual food items - it's an eye-opener! 🍯🥕👀

    While I've faced some backlash from my previous discussions, especially around the carnivore diet, this episode aims to provide clarity and add some rationale for advocating a significantly lower daily carb intake of 10 to 15 grams. 🍖🔍

    This isn't just another rant but a call to critically evaluate the one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition that's been widely accepted. Join me, Dr. Suresh, as we explore the depths of dietary guidelines and consider a more balanced, evidence-based approach to eating. 🎙️🥗 #CarbControversy #DietaryGuidelinesDebate #MeatMedicine
