The Healthy Skeptic, Robert Davis, Debunks Anti-Aging Programs

The Healthy Skeptic, Robert Davis, Debunks Anti-Aging Programs

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend award winning health journalist Robert Davis, author of The Healthy Skeptic. Robert is kind of like the MythBusters guys for the health and fitness industry. Today he shared his thoughts about anti-aging clinics and their controversial human growth hormone programs. Robert and Dr Fitness discussed the recent NY Times article profiling Cenegenics, a popular anti-aging clinic. These kind of clinics take advantage of the law that says growth hormones can be legally prescribed if there is a deficiency in the patient – but as you age your levels decrease naturally so a doctor can almost always show that the patient is deficient. These clinics usually tout some anecdotal evidence of success and downplay some of the side effects of using hgh or human growth hormone, testosterone, etc. Side effects which can range from joint pain to diabetes. If you are considering using these kind of anti-aging methods please learn from the women who used hormone replacement therapy. While that therapy was used for decades it wasn’t until recently that results revealed that the risk of stroke and cancer outweighed any benefits of the treatment. Be careful when putting hormones into your body. To learn more about what Robert is up to go to www.everwell.com

Award Winning Health Journalist Robert J Davis is The Healthy Skeptic

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Robert J. Davis, author of The Healthy Skeptic: Cutting Through The Hype About Your Health. Robert is an award winning health journalist who teaches at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. Some of the things he talked to us about were: the truth about how effective sun screen really is; which diet is the most effective over time; and how to tell if a health claim is true or hype. The tips he shared about understanding who to believe when it comes to health and science claims was very informative. It’s like they said in All The President’s Men – follow the money – who is paying for the study. Bottom line is that you can trust a study that followed thousands of humans more than a study that worked fro a handful of lab rats. To learn more about Robert and his book please go to his website www.everwell.com

We haven’t updated our SobeFit magazine Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Weight Loss Challenge in awhile because I think it’s over – we did not lose 50 pounds combined – we lost over 30 pounds combined which isn’t too shabby. Marta Monetenegro, the founder of SobeFit, is our coach will be coming on soon to recap. We are still trying to lose more weight so please send your tips and words of encouragement or sabotage to adam @ drfitnessandthefatguy.com or to @FatGuy on Twitter. And remember to check out SobeFit magazine at www.sobefitmagazine.com

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with a guy who wrote into our website complaining that we should go to diet jail for telling people about Holey Donuts – he also said we were mean to Gary Taubes. This critic has a major man crush on Gary and said we spent too much of the interview goofing on him rather than letting him share his low carb wisdom. He also says our show is a sham and we are the reason everyone is overweight. So you don’t want to miss his part.

The real show began with Rory Freedman, author of the NY Times Bestseller Skinny Bitch who came on to talk about Skinny Bastard. which is that kick in the butt men need to lose wight and get buff. Rory has a bunch of great advice for men who need to drop a few pounds. to learn more about this book please go to www.skinnybastard.net

Next up we had on Robert Davis, author of the Healthy Skeptic. Robert is an award winning health journalist. He shared some tips on how to understand who to believe when it comes to health and science claims. It’s like they said in All The President’s Men – follow the money – who is paying for the study. To learn more about Robert and his book please go to his website www.everwell.com

Next up we had on Thomas Madden, inventor of the Knife and Fork Lift. While all our listeners know Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy have been talking about weighted silverware since we started the show, Thomas actually went out and invented it. He is a doer and we are just dreamers. His mini barbell like fork and knife set will definitely slow down your eating, just like we have been saying for years. To learn more please go to his website www.knifeandforklift.com

We closed the show with Rob Luka, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor’s office. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with.
