Emotional Eating and Obesity, Talking to Roni Maislish | Episode 27

Emotional Eating and Obesity, Talking to Roni Maislish | Episode 27

Hey, Anti-Diet health coach Avishek Saha here. In this interview I speak  to Roni Maislish about the emotional aspect of obesity. We often talk  about the quantitative aspects of obesity in discussions on health, but  forget the emotional and qualitative side. Roni Maislish is a licensed  social worker based in Israel working with obese patients. He has  lectured on the emotional aspect of obesity internationally for many  years.

It's refreshing to talk to someone else who has experienced metabolic issues after dieting. This holiday season, make sure to relax and wind down. A great way to do that is by reading my book, How You're Meant to Eat.

Episode 18 | What an Adamant Carnivore Dieter Sounds Like

Episode 18 | What an Adamant Carnivore Dieter Sounds Like

This "debate" was a great example of what happens to someone when they  get all of their information from the internet. Further, the carnivore  diet causes intense emotional instability that I am seeing more and  more. This person wanted to debate me because he was angry that I  criticized the carnivore diet. Take this as a case study of someone with  severe diet mentality! Enjoy.

Episode 15 | Strengthening Your Face For Better Aesthetics And Health With Dr. Michael Mew

Episode 15 | Strengthening Your Face For Better Aesthetics And Health With Dr. Michael Mew

Check out Dr. Michael Mew's campaign, Prevent Crooked Teeth: preventcrookedteeth.com/ and his YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/user/Orthotropics

Here are the timestamps for the questions asked:
1:01 Where is the tongue supposed to be at rest in our mouths?

2:40 What do you mean by the back of the tongue being proprioceptive?

3:44 Why are people’s tongues not in the right spot today?

5:36 How did you start developing these ideas?

9:17 So what is proper facial posture?

11:23 How did people’s health change as a result of upper dental arch expansion?
--Dr. Mew mentions experiments done by Harvold, which I will get to in a follow-up post about the studies mentioned.

17:33 To confirm, you bleieve that poorer people chewed their food more and that’s why they had better facial structure?
--Dr. Mew mentions another study in Punjab on socioeconomic status and facial development which found that in the upper and middle class faces were narrower and longer.

18:28 What is Mewing?
--Dr. Mew mentions the abs walk here and some other exercises such as the tongue swallowing techniques.

21:40 Do you feel like the improved facial structure your wife has noticed over the past ten years is due to greater development of the jaw muscles?

23:07 So you think all of the ear, nose and throat issues today could be corrected with better facial posture?

25:16 So one thing you mention over and over again is teeth together, lips together–

26:14 I’ve noticed since implementing your techniques that I would sleep with my lips together but my mouth kind of open–is this normal?

29:43 So you disagree with Dr. Weston A. Price’s findings–

The rest is him kind of interjecting with his thought. He brings up a variety of important ideas such as that Dr. Weston A. Price lived in an era where vitamins were all the rage. They didn’t consider consistency of the diet. They just focused on nutrients and he believes this was a mistake. Dr. mew also talks about sleep apnea and how it’s going to shorten people’s lifespans.

Episode 10 | The Man Who Helped Expose Monsanto, Leemon McHenry

In this episode I speak to Leemon McHenry, whose career has involved exposing bad science in corporate America. His most recent work investigated the Monsanto Papers, internal documents revealing Monsanto's lobbying efforts with the EPA and journal editors. He has taught philosophy at California State University and worked as a research consultant for the Los Angeles law firm Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, which won the $289 million lawsuit against Monsanto. He joins me today to discuss his research and shed light on lobbying practices by Monsanto and other corporations. Here is his paper which I cite in the episode: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29843257

Episode 1 | Exposing the American Heart Association's 2017 Report on Saturated Fat For Bad Science

Episode 1 | Exposing the American Heart Association's 2017 Report on Saturated Fat For Bad Science

In this episode, I revisit the "Presidential Advisory" written up by the American Heart Association last year on saturated fat. This report caused major controversy in the natural health community as they suggested the public avoid coconut oil.

What no one did however was analyze the studies in the AHA's report. So in this episode, we go through one of the four core studies in their report, and assess whether or not the AHA's conclusions match that of their very own studies.

This is a tale of bias and bad science.
