The Biggest Nutrition Takeaways for your Health with Andrew Aussem - 007

Anti-Aging Lifestyle - Longevity, Aesthetics, Health, and Beauty

In episode 7 of the Anti-Aging Podcast I bring you in live to another interview I did at the Ancestral Health Symposium, a health summit where dozens of industry leading doctors, trainers, and specialists give presentations on optimizing your health. This is where I met and interviewed this episode’s guest, Andrew Aussem.

Andrew holds a Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition and an Honors Bachelor of Kinesiology. Over the past decade Andrew has been a true practitioner of the paleo and ancestral lifestyle, which he truly believes is the road to optimal health.

While at the Ancestral Health Symposium Andrew did his presentation on “Reducing the Risk of Lynch Syndrome Cancer with Nutritional Nrf2 Activators.”

While I thought this topic was a bit too niche for this podcast audience, Andrew and I had a great conversation on nutrition in general, so I wanted to get him on the podcast to help me lay out the foundations of healthy eating. A baseline for us to learn and grow from in future interviews.

Some highlights from the episode:

What is Holistic Nutrition: How does it vary from traditional nutritional approaches?

Why Whole Foods in your Diet are a Must: The importance of whole foods and why concentrated vitamins and supplements may not work as well, or at all the way whole foods work.

Why Industrial Seed Oils are so dangerous: We talk about the triple threat to your health that these oils pose. Higher Omega-6 content, high rancidity and oxidation due to high temperature treatments, and also the formation and existence of trans fats due to this oil processing.

Healthy Fat Alternatives: What types of fat to eat instead. Why saturated fat may not be bad for you at all.

Protein Choices: What types of animal protein Andrew recommends, as well as his views on red meat and farm raised fish.

The Dangers of Grains: Why avoiding grains, especially processed grains can be very beneficial to both your oral and overall health.

Dairy and Legume Consumption: We finish the podcast with a brief discussion of dairy and legume consumption.
