Description
In this episode we discuss:
How the largest body of evidence cited in favor of hormesis actually doesn’t support it at all
Why caloric restriction is NOT responsible for slowing aging and extending lifespan (and what is actually responsible)
The many factors that confound the calorie restriction research (including differences between organisms, poor research design, amino acid restriction, PUFA, endotoxin, and more)

Ep. 7: Carbs vs. Fats and General Macronutrient Guidelines: In this episode we discuss: Carbs vs. fats in terms of energy and hormones Why we don’t want to be only “fat-burners” Why adequate CO2 production is necessary for energy balance Why it’s okay, or even optimal, to eat carbs and fats together Misappl... by The Energy Balance Podcast
