Focusing On Policy

• Dr. Tony Hampton has been a guest on the show several times—he has a long history of advocating in the low-carb space. (2:00)
• Being policy-focused rather than party-focused in governmental policy should be the focus. (8:30)
• Dr. Hampton describes his career focus on improving metabolic health, including how to incentivize doctors to help people discontinue medications and reduce the cost of care. (12:00)
  • RFK Jr. may not always speak clearly to the mainstream public in a way that resonates.
  • Dr. Hampton still faces challenges in the mainstream medical space, where other doctors struggle to embrace certain concepts; for example, many of his peers continue to have trouble accepting the idea that saturated fat is not harmful. (14:00)
• Despite the benefits of a low-carb or ketogenic diet and its positive effects on things like diabetes and other metabolic diseases, it is still not accepted by many doctors.
  • Apparently, they didn’t get the memo! (16:00)
• They discuss food deserts and their effects on the community. (21:00)

Advocating and Taking Action

• Vinnie admits he is not a fan of GLP-1s, but he understands how they can be a valuable tool for teaching and helping people adopt new habits. (31:00)
  • They discuss the negative aspects of GLP-1s.
  • The muscle loss associated with GLP-1 is more pronounced than that observed with natural weight loss.
  • Muscle is essential for so many reasons, including boosting insulin sensitivity. (38:00)
    • It is the metabolic engine of the body!
    • Increasing muscle mass prevents you from becoming fragile. (38:00)
• Dr. Hampton offers two programs: NEST, which stands for Nutrition, Exercise, Less Stress/More Sleep, and How You Think/Less Trauma.
