About Today’s Guest:
Marty Kendall is an engineer revolutionizing nutrition using a data-driven, nutrient-first approach. His interest in nutrition began over twenty years ago to help his wife Monica gain control of her Type 1 Diabetes. Since then, he’s developed a systematized approach to nutrition that has helped thousands of people lose weight, reverse insulin resistance, and reclaim their health. This led him to explore the concept of nutrient density and its effect on blood sugar stabilization and overall health. Marty’s background in engineering has allowed him to approach nutrition from a quantitative and data-driven perspective, focusing on providing the body with the right nutrients in the most efficient way possible. He shares his learnings at OptimisingNutrition.com and runs Data-Driven Fasting and the Macros and Micros masterclasses to guide people on their journey of nutritional optimisation.
Episode Summary:
In this episode of “Blasphemous Nutrition,” host Aimee and guest Marty Kendall continue their discussion on the impact of food quality on cravings and delve into the history of religious and moral underpinnings in dietary recommendations. They also discuss the role of learned appetite and the importance of relearning what our bodies truly crave. There may or may not be some scathingly blasphemous parallels drawn between expectations of certain religious sects and the relationship between the consumer and “Big Food”.
