Welcome back to the Ketodontist Podcast! Today we are talking about fat, saturated fat in particular. With the recent claims that coconut oil is “pure poison”, we wanted to dive into this topic and shine some light. In this episode we discuss:
Is coconut oil worse than other fat sources?
Is saturated fat bad for you?
Who should, and shouldn’t, avoid saturated fat?
Why context is important on determining fat intake
And MORE!
Friend of the show Marty Kendall shared a post of his with me and I wanted to pass it along as it jives with this episode beautifully.

Welcome back KD Tribe! Today we have a very special guest and personal hero of Dr. Matt’s: Dr. Ted Naiman!
Dr. Theodore Naiman is a board-certified Family Medicine physician and has devoted much of his career to the study of diet and exercise and their relationship to health. He has used these diet and exercise techniques to treat thousands of patients. He has seen miraculous health transformations, which can literally cure metabolic diseases (diabetes for example) and autoimmune diseases (such as IBS). He feels an obligation to help as many people as possible find their path to optimum health.
In this episode we discuss:
How he went from vegetarian to low carb.
Why the insulin hypothesis theory of obesity is starting to crumble
How insulin resistance is actually a consequence of overfilling your fat stores
Why Dr. Naiman moved away from ordering tons of tests for his patients and now focuses on the low hanging fruit.
Why his advice always goes back to diet and exercise
Why resistance training is optimal for body recomposition
Why a gym membership isn’t a necessity for strength training
Why you need to focus on what you CAN have on low carb, not what you can’t.
Why protein should be a protein set for the individual person
What is the theory of protein leverage satiety?
How you can still get fat even when being strict keto
How long should Dr. Matt keep up his “high” protein keto cut?
Why Dr. Naiman considers himself of a “gluconeogenic” diet
Should Dr. Matt be concerned when his blood sugar dips (ie hypoglycemia) on this aggressive cut?

Welcome back KD Tribe! Today we have our first recurring guest, Marty Kendall from Optimising Nutrition. If you remember, Marty was the very first guest on the show. It only made sense that going into episode 21 that we would circle back with Marty. If you have noticed, this show focuses on whole foods and nutrient density, and we believe wholeheartedly in what Marty is doing with his tool the Nutrient Optimiser.
Marty is an engineer whose interest in nutrition was spawned out of necessity trying to better manage his wife’s Type 1 diabetes as well as his own family history of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
In early 2015 he started blogging at OptimisingNutrition.com. He tries to provide clarity around many of the confusing and conflicting issues in nutrition, often using a quantitative approach.
While his blog posts can sometimes go deep on a topic, he has also worked to develop a shortlist of optimal foods to suit different goals by balancing the sometimes-competing parameters of nutrient density, insulin load and energy density.
His most recent project is the Nutrient Optimiser which consolidates his thinking into an automated system that reviews a person’s current diet to provide a shortlist of recommended foods to provide the nutrients they are not getting enough of while supporting their goals, whether they be diabetes control, weight loss, bodybuilding or athletic performance.
In this episode we cover:
Optimal blood sugar and ketones for nutritional ketosis
Why you shouldn’t chase high ketone levels if your goal is fat loss
Why insulin isn’t the devil that we’ve made it out to be
Why you may be overweight but not necessarily insulin resistant
Why “Personal Fat Threshold” is important and why you should care
If you are limiting calories, why you should focus on nutrient dense foods
Why your adipose tissue is actually a protective mechanism
The role of protein in the diet, and why we shouldn’t fear it in keto
Why hormones matter and why calories still matter.
Why tracking blood ketones becomes a waste of money for most people.
Hello KD Tribe! Welcome back to episode 20 of the Ketodontist Podcast. In today’s show Dr. Matt will be talking about context in keto and paleo, and why it matters. Too many people are making blanket statements and are forgetting a little thing called nuance. Dr. Matt also gives an update o week 2 of his 12 week “higher protein” keto cut. Topics covered in this episode are:
Why terms like “low, medium, and high” are useless without context
How people can consume over 100 grams of carbs and still be keto
Why protein should be a target
Why it’s ok to be hungry when trying to lose weight.
Why you should leverage fat intake according to what your goal is.
Why you should focus on nutrient density first and foremost.
We hope you enjoy this episode and we also hope you continue to follow Dr. Matt over the next 12 weeks as he reports back on his own “high protein” experiment.
