Show Notes for Episode 159

  • We are huge fans of the Low Carb MD Podcast, so check it out!
  • Hypnosis and beliefs fit with wellness and that’s why we’re here...
  • Mike cured his fatty liver by doing the opposite of what he was told!
  • Weirdly, people still think they have to count calories!?!
  • Society has taken on the Angel Keys trance - but who benefits?
  • Whoever pays for research usually gets the results they want...
  • Dr Tro was 350 lbs and is a board certified internal medicine doctor
  • He went back to the evidence and found falsification in the literature
  • Low carbs were consistently having best results
  • Even calorie for calorie, low carb reduces metabolic syndrome and fatty liver
  • It’s easiest for an MD to parrot the party line; even if it doesn’t work
  • Not eating actually elevates cholesterol! We mean fasting by choice...
  • When you go low carb you’re asking your body to use fat for fuel...
  • The average American eats 16 hours per day!
  • Anorexics have cholesterol that’s through the roof! But they can’t reduce their saturated fat, because they aren’t eating any.
  • Reality Tunnels are wholesale sets of confirmation bias and we will automatically support what we believe...
  • When we believe something fervently, we will defend it; even against overwhelming evidence to the contrary!
  • Even 1,000 years ago, we thought we’d reached the pinnacle of medical knowledge...
  • Now we’ve arrived! The science is settled. Not.
  • Threshold is required: Something has to change. It has to be now. It has to be me!
  • When someone’s at threshold, the intervention is minimal!
  • The Swiss Cheese model says no single defence can maintain a lifestyle...
  • Start with awareness and knowledge...”Why am I hungry? Why am I eating?”
  • Mental Game - Diet - Activity 
  • We'll eat pizza and eat it cold 4 hours later! We'll eat Chinese food twice in 3 hours!
  • Calorie counting (to us) is ludicrous. Nobody ever did this before!
  • The unconscious mind can run all this stuff through food choice and satiety...
  • Get the low-carb chocolate, ice cream, etc. Replace what you cannot eliminate! Keep it in the fridge and soon you won’t want it anymore.
  • Exercise isn’t even added in Dr Tro’s program for the first two months!
  • The power of the internet, wearable monitors, AI will all help this catch on...
  • Evidence helps! Constant glucose monitoring can disprove the constant hypnotic message...
  • Dr Tro will provide the tools to you can figure out who lied to you...
  • We are conditioned by food companies...
  • Patients get a scale that tracks water weight, lean mass, and a continuous glucose monitor, etc. 
  • Support mechanism is essential to stay on track. Dr Tro wants to intervene early with his patients so it doesn’t get out of control
  • Stress and cortisol add water weight, fat, and decrease self-esteem
  • Dr Tro uses 15 cloud based platforms to work with his patients...
  • Identity statements and beliefs...A public commitment helps follow-through!
  • Identity statements are very powerful - for good and bad!
  • Your behaviours are not who you are!
  • I am Wellness Boy! - Chris Thompson
  • The first step is to understand the behaviour. It’s not your fault that you’re stressed out...

  • If you’re on insulin, contact him!
