Low Carb Confessional... Mistakes, unlearning and learning in Ketoland | Ted Naiman

Low Carb Confessional... Mistakes, unlearning and learning in Ketoland | Ted Naiman

Author: Marty Kendall July 1, 2021 Duration: 1:05:27

It was SO much fun to finally get to chat Ted Naiman and discuss all that we've learned (and had to unlearn) over the last five years.

Ted has done heaps of interviews and podcasts about what he now believes, so I wanted to dig behind the memes to understand how he has changed what he believes.

We covered:

Why he now believes the Carb Insulin Hypothesis is dead.

What does insulin really do?

The Personal Fat Threshold

Energy Toxicity

Protein Leverage

Food quality

Nutrient density

The limitations of extended fasting.

The most common advice that he gives his patients that works every time.

Advice for someone just starting on their journey?

What Ted's daily eating routine looks.

Does Ted take supplements?

What are the top five foods you eat most often?

How do you motivate clients when they are not able to comply fully?

Thoughts on biohacking?

Ted's dreams for the future of nutrition.

I hope you have as much fun listening in as we did chatting.

Marty Kendall hosts the Optimising Nutrition Podcast, cutting through the noise of diet trends and dogma. Here, nutrition isn't about following a rigid belief system or the latest branded plan; it's fundamentally about ensuring your body gets the nutrients it needs to thrive. Marty applies a clear-eyed, engineering mindset to the complex world of food, breaking down the science into actionable strategies. In each episode, you'll hear detailed conversations with researchers, doctors, and other experts diving deep into the mechanics of weight loss, the practicalities of fasting, and the core principles of effective nutrition. These interviews are balanced with candid stories from real people who share their personal journeys, offering relatable insights into what works and what doesn't outside the lab. This podcast serves as a grounded resource for anyone tired of conflicting advice and looking for a substantive, evidence-based path to better health. It’s a space where data meets human experience, all focused on the tangible goal of optimisation. You can expect every discussion to return to that central, uncomplicated idea: strip away the labels, and focus on nourishment.
