Content is the New Oil: How to Transform Health & Medicine w/Russ Scala

The watchful eye of Big Pharma still has a lot of control on the purse strings of the medical industry. Why is content and the education of ordinary consumers so necessary in changing this? What are some of the world’s most advanced institutions getting wrong about health and diet? Should you consider ketogenic dieting? On this episode, Russ Scala is back to talk about how to get rid of the lab coat savior mentality.

We got about 150 high level pharmaceutical drugs currently on the market, and the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting impact more metabolic pathways than any drug. -Russ Scala

Three Takeaways

Ketogenic dieting: a lot of people don’t realize that excess protein gets converted through gluconeogenesis into sugar. When you elevate your blood sugar, you cause a lot of oxidative stress. Carbs have the same opiate pathways as heroin; just not as hard.

At the start of the show, Russ gave an update on what he’s been working on, and why it’s so powerful to teach ordinary people to ask the right questions. We also discussed muscle wasting, the dangers of carb addiction and how to control your own insulin.

We also discussed:

How bereft of real data the mainstream system is What people get wrong about ketogenic dieting Why we need to de-patternize our brains around how we see doctors

There’s something very powerful and transforming about people being able to think critically and ask their doctors the questions that will really change their health. If we continue teaching people the basics of biology, it is going to create a viral market of people who are in the know. Forget SSRIs and all the pharmaceuticals out there, ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting are the best tools to keep you in the game, keep you healthy, and keep your insulin and blood-glucose levels down. The only way to change perceptions is to educate people through content.
