How to Find the Right Diet for You | Diet Optimization w/ Dr. Ted Naiman (EP-47)
In this episode of Sweet Liberation Podcast, we are interviewing Dr. Ted Naiman. Dr. Ted Naiman, M.D. is a board-certified Family Medicine physician in the department of Primary Care at a leading major medical center in Seattle. His research and medical practice are focused on the practical implementation of diet and exercise for health optimization. He has an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and utilizes engineering principles when dealing with complex systems such as human health and nutrition. Joining us today, Dr. Ted and Nabila discuss the limited education healthcare professionals receive about lifestyle and nutrition contradicting patients’ experiences and emerging research. Ted shares how he grew up a vegetarian and his experience later trying diets like cutting carbs and experimenting with paleo, keto, and even carnivore diets. He explains the importance of a set percentage of protein in one’s diet. The discussion also goes into the protein leverage hypothesis, its implications, and why many people find themselves eating more calories to meet their protein needs. Dr. Ted also discusses modern diets, protein dilution, and its effect on longevity. Join us today as we dive into diet optimization, protein awareness, plants vs. animals, carbs vs. fats, the harm of refined sugars and fats, and much more.
