Seed Oils, Blood Tests & How Sleep Affects Body Weight - with Drew Harrisberg | The Proof EP206

In Episode 206, Drew Harrisberg joins me to debrief The Proof’s first debate and discuss blood tests, sleep, and the interaction between HIIT training and blood glucose.

Last week, I released a special episode on YouTube: a debate on seed oils and heart disease between Tucker Goodrich and Dr Matthew Nagra. You can find it here:    • Debate: Seed Oils & Heart Disease - w...  
Regardless of whether you’ve watched the debate, you’ll gain insight from the reflections we share in this episode.

Our discussion of this debate covers the interpretation of studies, consistency of arguments, and whether either argument was compelling enough to change our minds. Moving on from the debate, you’ll also learn about how sleep interacts with calorie consumption, blood glucose and HIIT training, and blood tests you may want to request. Drew and I also offer insights into our own diets, and I share some results from a recent blood test.

Specifically, we cover:

0:00 Intro
3:40 Training
12:03 The Seed Oil Debate
55:25 Understanding Healthy ApoB Levels
1:07:08 The Biohacking Trap
1:17:30 CGMs for People without Diabetes
1:28:13 HIIT for Diabetes
1:51:55 Sleep Deprivation & Weight Gain

2:08:32 The “Kale Buster”
2:16:11 Good News
2:25:44 Book/ Show Recommendations
2:33:36 Answering Your Questions
2:36:40 Outro

Notes:

I made an error with regards to Sydney Diet Heart Study. This study used safflower oil not corn oil. The MCE and Rose Corn Oil studies both used corn oil. So the point I was making about the inconsistency stands.

-I also misspoke when referring to the duration of MCE. They included subjects who were in the study for at least 12 months. Average follow up was 3 years. The point I made about LA Veterans having more person years follow-up still stands.
