Ditching Diet Dogma and Why Insulin Isn’t The Bad Guy | Thomas DeLauer | EP

Описание: In a digital landscape that prioritises and promotes polarising content, it’s no wonder that people so easily get set in their views and are driven to extremes. When I first encountered Thomas DeLauer eight years ago, he was a fierce advocate for a low-carb, ketogenic diet. And while he remains a proponent of a lower carbohydrate diet, his stance has evolved to adopt more nuance and place greater emphasis on the importance of unsaturated fats and fibre.

Escaping an echo chamber and admitting that you have changed your mind ­– particularly when you have a large, engaged audience – is no easy feat. In Episode #265, I sit down with Thomas DeLauer to break down some of the existing walls between different dietary camps, opening the conversation around nuance and an open-minded approach.

Thomas DeLauer is an expert in diet, nutrition, and mindset. He is motivated by a guiding ethos of integrated optimisation, believing that if you perform better, so does the world. He has built upon his experience as a young, successful athlete and later, successful businessman that had found him tipping the scales at close to 300lb. It was through his 100lb weight loss transformation that he was able to tap into how he could truly help others. These experiences allowed him to develop the belief that we all possess the ability to tap into the best versions of ourselves by optimising our understanding and application of fitness, nutrition, and mindset. He is supported by a remarkable research team that backs his platform with science and evidence to validate the work, and his expertise is shared in fitness and lifestyle publications worldwide.
