#38 - Professor Sarah Berry - Why No-One Agrees On Protein, How Genetics Affect Metabolism, Problems With The Carnivore Diet + Apo B - Professor of Nutritional Science at KCL + Chief Scientist at Zoe

My guest today is professor Sarah Berry. She's a professor of nutritional sciences at King's college London and the chief scientist at Zoe.

Sarah and I delve into a wide array of topics including:

What ‘’precision nutrition’'' is

How genetics affect metabolism

The mechanistic processes that happen when we eat

What exactly atherosclerosis is

Arguments around the Carnivore diet, Apo B levels & LDL cholesterol

If it's okay to have high LDL cholesterol if your Apo B levels are low

Whether or not calories are the only important factor in weight loss

Time restricted feeding

If all calories are created equal

The thermogenic effect of food

Sarah's thoughts on pro protein culture

Why there's much disagreement on protein recommendations and nutrition

AND

What Sarah would eat if she only had 10 foods to live off

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview professor Berry, as podcasters and content creators we love to hypothesise and speculate on things we haven't actually researched and Sarah clearly takes her work very seriously and sticks well within her lane of expertise. It's a little shorter than my usual episodes but I think there's a lot in here for us all to take away.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with professor Sarah Berry.
