Description

I was thrilled to interview the youngest podcast guest i've ever had on the show. Calvin Scheller is currently 18 years old and has been studying human physiology and nutrition since the age of 13. He is self taught but he is also enrolled in college and pursuing a degree in biology with a specialization in bioprocess technology. In this episode he breaks down the subject he knows best, insulin resistance. He tears apart the conventional dogmas pushed by the ketogenic and carnivore community. He explains the biochemistry of why carbohydrate consumption is not the problem, although minimizing them for a time could be beneficial for some people, not everyone. This is a very technical episode where Calvin rapid fire explains the biochemistry of glucose and insulin and why the focus should not be on macronutrients but more on maintaining a healthy body weight and exercising regularly. I ask him several listener questions that were sent in near the end.

The mitochondria are not just the powerhouse of the cell; they are the engines that run our entire body. If we can remove the obstructions to energy production (calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis) everything works better, we experience mental clarity and emotional resilience.
