    My guest today is Dr Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist, entrepreneur, and a leading expert in C15. Dr Venn Watson has conducted over 60 peer-reviewed papers and has made the link between C15 deficiency, insulin resistance, and chronic disease.


    C15 is a saturated fatty acid in whole-fat foods, including whole-fat dairy, fatty fish, and red meat. Dr Venn Watson will discuss how the changes in our modern diet and the changes in dietary guidelines towards low-fat and high-carb diets have contributed to Cellular Fragility Syndrome, which leads to C15 deficiency.


    Dr Venn Watson will discuss the process of Ferroptosis, which causes an iron overload in the liver, leading to chronic disease and insulin resistance. She will also discuss the amount of C15 you need, how to avoid deficiency, and the best dietary sources of C15 (hint: it includes butter). ‍


    This episode is important to understand that insulin resistance does not just come from sugar and carbohydrates, but also from C15 deficiency. You will learn the science behind C15 deficiency, how to fix it, and Fatty15 - a revolutionary new supplement to fix C15 deficiency.

    Dave will discuss the power of fasting and what it can do for the body, including its benefits for autophagy, prevention and healing of chronic disease, weight loss, and more. We will also discuss how to start fasting and different fasting lengths that might be appropriate for beginners. If you are new to fasting, starting with a 12-hour fast produces significant weight loss benefits, and Dave will also describe more advanced types of fasting.

    Dave also discussed common mistakes people make when fasting, his thoughts on OMAD, one meal a day, and gender differences in fasting between men and women. We also discussed the role of bulletproof coffee in extending a fast and making fasting, intermittent fasting, or prolonged fasting easier for maximum healing and autophagy benefits.

    Apr 5 2025

    This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠The Primal Tallow Balm.⁠⁠

    PREVENT Cancer (Free Guide): http://www.theprimal.com/lab/eat-high-fat-the-fastest-way-to-kill-cancer-cellsProf Seyfried's Book 'Cancer As A Metabolic Disease': https://amzn.to/4c7PHUa


    Professor Seyfried will discuss a new way to treat cancer using metabolic therapy, which is a combination of glucose and glutamine targeted therapies, along with a high-fat ketogenic diet.


    Professor Seyfried will explain why cancer is not a genetic disease and how the standard of care destroys all cells in the body, leaving patients sick and frail after therapy. Professor Seyfried will also share real success stories, including Pablo Kelly, who was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, given 9 months to live, and survived almost 8 years with metabolic therapy. This episode is important for understanding how to actively treat cancer with nutrition, metabolic therapy, and mitochondria science, and how to prevent cancer through lifestyle changes.
