152. More myth debunking: TMAO, Neu5gc, Methionine/Glycine balance

Throughout my training and practice as a physician, I have come to one very disappointing conclusion:  Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey. 00:08:33 Podcast begins 00:09:35 What is epidemiology, why is it useful, and when can we use it? 00:12:40 Vegetables + Cardiovascular disease 00:19:40 Interventional studies on vegetables  00:27:22 What is TMAO (Trimethylamine N-oxide)? 00:32:30 Choline and Carnitine 00:37:40 Mainstream literature regarding TMAO 00:41:00 TMAO in fish 00:47:28 What is Neu5gc? 00:56:03 Methionine + Glycine balance, should we worry about excess Methionine from animal foods?
