12. Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Depression, Diabetes, and Heart Disease | Kate Deering

In this week's episode, we teamed up with the legendary Kate Deering to tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern health: hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, diabetes, and heart disease. Is our modern health care system helping us when it comes to understanding & actually treating these conditions, or are we simply managing symptoms? With over 25 years under her belt in the health + fitness industry, Kate Deering is a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, & experience. She has done it all, tried it all, and finally crashed & burned at the age of 38 before discovering Dr. Ray Peat & the goldmine of metabolic health. Suddenly, everything made sense, and her dedication to become an expert on her own physiology led her to write her own masterpiece: How To Heal Your Metabolism. Her book essentially can be summed up as this: your metabolism is the root of your symptoms. Kate offers us her refreshing & honest experience on the highs & lows of her healing journey. Join us as we sit down & discuss the following: Kate's journey with diet culture, fitness, & metabolism Modern medicine view of disease vs bioenergetic view of disease What "metabolism" really means How to assess your metabolism High blood pressure: is it really the salt? High cholesterol: is it really the saturated fat? Depression: is serotonin really the "happy hormone"? Diabetes: is it really the sugar? Heart disease: again, is saturated fat the enemy?
