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.
