“food I would say 80% of the time you're going to be in a good shape and then so that allows you that other 20% to like be in those situations where you're caught with your pants down right and you don't have some snack available or some food available and you need to eat something and I've been in those situations where like literally there's nothing to eat that I would choose normally and sometimes I just decide to fast right I mean hey I can wait till the till I get to where I'm going and get something better but majority of times you can make better choices there's always a banana there's always an apple there's always some plain almonds available at the airport right there's always an option for a one ingredient food and so that's what I I tell people to do and and again if you're in these circumstances a lot then you need to really make a choice whether you want to stop to do this more effectively”

“I'll bring tree nuts. Tree nuts. Walnuts, almonds, macadamia, pistachios. Um I love nuts. U tree nuts. And you know, not the pack prepackaged kind, but I like to, you know, kind of like toast them up myself and see flavor them myself.”
Main Takeaways:
- Tree nuts like walnuts, almonds, macadamia, and pistachios are recommended for their nutritional benefits.
- Tree nuts provide dietary fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

“you eat 160 calories in almonds how many of those do you absorb? 130. You eat 160 you absorb 130 where' the other 30 go? In the processing of that food energy.”
Main Takeaways:
- Not all calories consumed are absorbed; in the case of almonds, 30 of 160 calories are not absorbed.
- The non-absorbed calories are lost in the digestion and processing of the food.
- Highlights the role of fiber in affecting calorie absorption.

“so we all eat protein let's say you eat too much protein yeah you know the Porter House steak all right now if you're a bodybuilder those amino acids might go to muscle and you might increase your muscle mass because you're a bodybuilder because you're putting uh excess uh force on those muscles and you're growing those muscles okay but let's say you're not a bodybuilder let's say you're a mmortal like me or let's say you're a kid going through puberty who's synthesizing a lot of muscle not because they're lifting weights because they're because testosterone's making it happen yeah absolutely but let's say you're not let's say you know you're just you know just schlump the the street like uh you know joeo okay and you eat that Porter House you've taken on all these amino acids there's no place to store it other than muscle so your liver takes the excess and deamidates that amino acid takes the amino group off to turn it from a amino acid into an organic acid and then that organic acid can then enter the kreb cycle the tricarboxylic acid cycle what goes on in the mitochondria in order to…”
Main Takeaways:
- Excess protein in non-active individuals leads to liver processing amino acids into organic acids for energy production.
- The thermic effect of food is higher for proteins, causing more energy expenditure in their processing compared to fats and carbohydrates.
- A significant portion of calories from protein may not contribute to net energy gain due to higher energy costs of processing.

“carbohydrates I think most of our audience will be familiar with the so-called macronutrients so we talked about fat in this case almonds there's some Fiber in there probably a little bit of carbohydrate a little bit little bit talked about the Porter House with butter right making me hungry already that's protein and fat MH very little of any carbohydrate it should be zero essentially maybe one zero zero yep um and then now we're talking about carbohydrates and we're going to subdivide that into glucose and fructose right galactose basically becomes glucose in the liver so we we can dispense with that unless you have a disease called galactosemia which is about one in 20,000 um and causes neonatal menitis and you know it's a disease as a pediatric endocrinologist I would take care of but we can dispense with that for the moment all right so glucose fructose glucose is the energy of life every cell on the planet Burns glucose for energy glucose is so damn important that if you don't consume it your body makes it so it will take an amino acid and turn it into glucose that's gluconeogenesis glucogenesis that's right it will…”
Main Takeaways:
- Carbohydrates are essential macronutrients, and the body can produce glucose through gluconeogenesis if not consumed.
- Glucose is crucial for energy and structural changes in proteins and hormones.
- Fructose, unlike glucose, is not essential for any biochemical reactions in vertebrates and is considered addictive.

“next time you have a craving if you do one of these things either you have a tablespoon of vinegar in water either you have something else before it a little bit of broccoli some cherry tomatoes a carrot some almonds something that's going to put some clothing on those carbs you'll be able to get the dopamine from the sugar with less of a spike and less of a crash.”
Main Takeaways:
- Consuming vinegar or healthy snacks like vegetables and nuts before sugary foods can reduce glucose spikes.
- This strategy helps manage cravings by providing a steadier dopamine release without severe glucose fluctuations.
