Episode 12: Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Depression, Diabetes, and Heart Disease with Kate Deering
In this week's episode, we teamed up with the legendary Kate Deering to tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern health: hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, diabetes, and heart disease. Is our modern health care system helping us when it comes to understanding & actually treating these conditions, or are we simply managing symptoms? With over 25 years under her belt in the health + fitness industry, Kate Deering is a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, & experience. She has done it all, tried it all, and finally crashed & burned at the age of 38 before discovering Dr. Ray Peat & the goldmine of metabolic health. Suddenly, everything made sense, and her dedication to become an expert on her own physiology led her to write her own masterpiece: How To Heal Your Metabolism. Her book essentially can be summed up as this: your metabolism is the root of your symptoms. Kate offers us her refreshing & honest experience on the highs & lows of her healing journey.
Join us as we sit down & discuss the following:
Kate's journey with diet culture, fitness, & metabolism
Modern medicine view of disease vs bioenergetic view of disease
What "metabolism" really means

High blood pressure: is it really the salt?
High cholesterol: is it really the saturated fat?
Depression: is serotonin really the "happy hormone"?
Diabetes: is it really the sugar?
Heart disease: again, is saturated fat the enemy?
