ADHD & nutrition
Hello, casual listener here. I have learned to sort out the BS from listening to the nuance surrounding topics on this show and appreciate the insight. Do you have any opinions on the literature of diet interventions for ADHD? Anything from whole diets to individual foods to the notorious red food dye. I am not familiar enough with reviewing studies myself and there is a ton of overly strong anecdotal opinions on this matter so hearing your perspective would be valuable to me to know if this area is worth paying attention to or is just quackery. Thanks!
Fasting and Muscle Mass Retention
Considering the growing interest in fasting protocols (both TRF and longer fasting protocols) - what would you recommend in these circumstances for the preservation / growth of muscle mass. Would it differ between Intermittent Fasting / Time-Restricted Feeding, and longer (1-3 day) fasts?
Seed Oils
Sorry if you've covered this before (I'm new to the podcast), but what are your thoughts on the "seed oils as the One True Cause of all human suffering" thing, à la Cate Shanahan, Chris Knobbe, etc.? Seems like a lot of mechanistic speculation with little to no evidence around human outcomes, with some abuse of apparent correlation thrown in for good measure, but I'd love to hear your take. Thanks!
Synthesized whey protein
We're starting to see commercially available whey that has been produced by bacteria engineered to synthesize whey protein directly from nutritional substrate. It seems like we should expect this to have directly comparable effects given the identical molecular structure. Is there any reason to think this bacterially synthesized whey will have any different effects that whey from dairy?
