The Whole Story: Dr. Mike Discusses The Fallacy of the Calorie
Monday Jul 13, 2015
Monday Jul 13, 2015
Dr. Michael Fenster, aka Dr. Mike, Board-certified interventional cardiologist and author of the new book, "The Fallacy of the Calorie: Why the Modern Western Diet is Killing Us and How to Stop It" again joins eHealth Radio and the Nutrition & Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Michael Fenster discuss the following:
Your new book, "The Fallacy of the Calorie" discusses why we as a culture are obsessed with dieting, counting calories, restrictive eating, and so forth, and also warns that sometimes even the lowest calorie processed staples (like diet, zero-calorie soda) are the WORST things we can ingest in our bodies. Yet there is now the technology side of obession, aka "digital dieting", where we are taking diet and fitness apps to an extreme. Now even Google is getting heat for releasing a-calorie counting app for our food pics on Instagram! What's your take on this?There's a new study that was done on mice at Oregon State University indicating that diets high in sugar and fat may impair cognition by changing gut bacteria. The effects were most severe on a high sugar diet, which was also linked to a deficit in early learning for both long term and short term memory. Your book discusses how we're hard-wired to crave things like sugar, salt, and fat. How can we diminish these cravings and possibly re-wire our brains to crave whole foods so we can avoid the harmful effects on our cognitive states and gut bacteria? There is however, hope on the horizon. Recent articles show that nutrition experts are deciding to drop recommended restrictions on total fat consumption in the forthcoming 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Wonderful news that the tides are changing! Do you, the standard federal guidelines moving in a new direction in the next five years, given all this new information we have that low-fat dieting is NOT the answer? Summer is in full swing and that means we still have weeks to enjoy BBQs, indulgent vacations, and of course, summer cocktails! What are some of your favorite go-to healthy summer recipes that are simple, fun to make, and of course delicious and in season?What's next on the horizon? New book? Will you be speaking at any conferences this year? What courses are you teaching? Tell us all about it! If you could provide the #1 health myth that we can completely ignore because it's completely bogus (besides counting calories), what would it be?

John Jubilee, Creator of the John Jubilee Transformation Experience and America’s Cellular Health Authority joins eHealth Radio and the Health, Personal Development & Weight Management Channels.
Today, as “America’s Transformation Authority” John is leading the human development and wellness revolution as he teaches people how to quickly reclaim and transform their lives forever.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest John Jubilee discuss the following:How did you go from a successful businessman to creating your 88 day transformation?There are so many that have failed after trying (weight watchers, Nutrisystems, Atkins diet, etc): what makes John Jubilee's 88 day program different?Will this work for those that have health problems, diabetes or find themselves older in life?What is a cellular health transformation?Lastly, how does one begin?
Duration: 19:09
John experienced the decline of his own health, as a busy father of three and businessman in his mid-30's. He developed typical joint pains, including: “bankers-belly and man- boobs”. He knew he needed to find a way to get fit and stay fit, yet do so with limited time and effort and without major dietary restrictions or extreme exercise.
Thus began John’s adventure in life and his own personal physical transformation. As John researched and studied health and wellness, he discovered that confusing misinformation and hidden truths were common place. John also learned that most people were just like him; they wanted a simple, “all-natural” process to regain healthy weight levels that could also sustain for a lifetime without experiencing an endless road of confusing and useless “yo-yo” dieting or fitness plans. John committed himself to developing a simple, step-by–step system that would help anyone achieve lifelong results, but that it had to be simple, science-based and sustainable for everyone. John invented innovative and common-sense formulas, which after 14 years of research and development, have resulted in the ground-breaking “John Jubilee 88-Day Transformation”. There is no other program available today, whereby, a person can achieve significant weight-loss and health muscle and water gain in just 88-days with no running, crunches, doctors, surgery, medicines, extreme exercise, delivered food program or proprietary supplements.
The proven success of John’s science-based technology has catapulted him to becoming America’s leading authority on enjoyable, all-natural, pain-free transformation. The John Jubilee 88-Day Transformation™ Experience is quite possibly the most advanced “all-in-one”; optimal wellness, weight-loss and fitness solution in the world. It is used by people from all walks of life, including: entertainment celebrities, actors, professional athletes, medical doctors, surgeons, business people, ministers, white and blue collar workers; men and women of all ages. His leading edge formulas consistently result in sustained long-term weight- loss, fat elimination, excellent fitness, optimal wellness, increased self- confidence and raised self-esteem for anyone who applies them, no matter their size, shape or age.
Today, as “America’s Transformation Authority” John is leading the human development and wellness revolution as he teaches people how to quickly reclaim and transform their lives forever.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Zach LaBoube discuss the following:For those of us who know nothing about the HCG diet, can you describe it for us?One line from your book that I liked was “A diet need not be the undertaking of a lifetime to yield life-changing results.” Can you elaborate on that?So you just updated the specific diet protocol? There is a supplement that goes with this, correct? Has that changed at all? Do most dieters maintain their weight loss on this diet?What’s next for you?

Dr. Zach LaBoube, Chiropractor and Fellow of the American Society of Acupuncture, is completing a Masters of Science in Nutrition and Human Performance from Logan University. He founded InsideOut Wellness and Weight Loss with the belief that true health radiates, fundamentally, from the inside out.
“I tell my pain management patients on a daily basis that only YOU can feel your pain, and only YOU can take the steps necessary to remedy it. Dieting is no different. The first step is the most difficult, but once you make the commitment to take control of your health and wellbeing, good things will most certainly follow. There is no failure on HCG 2.0, only variations of success.”
