keto cholesterol fat metabolic health nutrition research IBD saturated fat heart disease LDL-C ApoB metabolic state fat loss nutrition research problems metabolic health measurement keto adaptation high-fat diet high-animal-protein diet longevity

What if everything you thought you knew about cholesterol, fat, and metabolic health was up for debate? As someone interested in nutrition research, I’m always up for exploring differing points of view especially when they come from a rigorous scientific background and can speak to the evidence base. 


So in this episode, I sit down with Dr Nick Norwitz PhD, to challenge some of my long held positions in nutrition science and break down keto.


He’s a researcher and expert in ketogenic diets, lipid metabolism, and metabolic health as well as a current medical student at Harvard Medical school.


We discuss:


🔥 Nick’s personal journey with IBD and the ketogenic diet

🥑 Whether saturated fat actually causes heart disease?

📉 Cholesterol confusion – and whether we should all aim for a lower LDL-C or ApoB by any means necessary?

💡 Keto as a metabolic state vs. a diet – what it means for fat loss

📊 The problems with nutrition research


Plus, we explore how to measure metabolic health, keto adaptation, and whether a high-fat, high-animal-protein diet can be optimal for longevity.

We tackle common fears around plant-based eating, including:

Together, we explore the science of protein quality, practical meal-building tips, and effective training strategies to support muscle health and strength.


We discuss:

  • Complete proteins & amino acid profiles
  • PDCAAS & DIAAS scores – Are these metrics actually useful?
  • The leucine threshold & muscle gain – Is it harder to reach with plant-based protein?
  • Protein layering – The best plant-based combos for a complete amino acid profile
  • How much protein per meal? – Ideal targets and what it looks like on a plate


🏋️‍♀️ Resistance Training & Muscle Strength

  • Why strength training is essential for overall health
  • Pre- and post-workout nutrition on a plant-based diet
  • Does protein timing really matter for muscle gain?


🍽️ What Does This Look Like in Real Life?

  • How to start increasing protein intake on a plant-based diet
  • Common mistakes when transitioning to plant protein
  • How to add more protein to meals like pasta, curries, and stir-fries
