This episode is all about fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer, and accelerated aging processes.
Dr. Cate Shanahan applied her learning and experiences to write Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. Together with Dr. Tim DiFrancesco and NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and helped forge a partnership between Whole Foods Market and numerous NBA teams.
In May of 2018 she began as Director of Metabolic Health for ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, a progressive, family-run company interested in saving money by the betterment of health.
She’s also the Medical & Scientific Advisor at CB Supplements, overseeing their premium-grade multi collagen protein, and for beliv, a forward-thinking Latin American beverage company.
In this podcast, we cover:
- How disease is diet-driven
- Why our diet is making the coronavirus deadly
- Ways to unlock your genetic potential through traditional food
- The importance of agricultural farms
- How to find simplicity with food
- The reasons that oils are public enemy number one
Dr. Cate Shanahan says the virus is scary because, overall, people are unhealthy. Most doctors said that the virus was going to be like a bad flu. However, people are getting really sick from the virus. Dr. Cate says the infection is severe because it can cause phenomena just like the flu. Our diet is making this virus deadly.
More people are getting sicker from the coronavirus because of their diet. Seed oils are making our immune system an inflammation generator. We know that the virus attacks the lining of our blood vessels. When you have a virus that attacks your blood vessels, that’s very dangerous. However, the virus won’t get that far in most of our bodies. If the virus does get far, it happens because of inflammation.
Clinicians don’t learn the fundamental truth about what is making us sick. Doctors think that cholesterol clogs arteries, salt causes hypertension, and saturated fats are bad for us. However, this isn’t the case. Most doctors don’t even look at the ingredients on their food products. It’s time that clinicians are taught how their patients can unlock their genetic potential through traditional foods.
Cookbooks are our original nutrition science books. It’s everything that people used to eat before we had all of these chronic diseases. Traditional food is about extracting nutrition from the environment we lived in. People found out that there’s a way to stay healthy by eating food. Dr. Cate says that Weston Price completely changed her life. Weston says that our physiology reflects the landscape that we live in harmony with – this is where we need to get going.
Later, Dr. Cate explains how to find simplicity with food. For breakfast, Dr. Cate will have a ton of milk, cream, and a little bit of coffee. Everything is grass-fed and raw – it tastes different and a million times better. Another simple breakfast is avocado toast with sprouted grain bread. If you find that healthier food is more expensive, then think that eating healthier will result in less eating. Plus, when you get your energy back, you can do more and work harder.
Stay tuned as we talk about why oils are public enemy number one. Specifically, Dr. Cate says these are the worst oils for your health: canola, corn, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, and rice bran. Dr. Cate also explains how to find the truth about your health and culinary habits to add to your daily life.
Dr. Cate’s message for the world is that your body is a miracle; please treat it as a miracle.

I am so grateful to you, Dr. Mindy Pelz, and today to your guest, Dr. Cate Shanahan, for talking about how the Western Health System is broken and that individuals need to take personal responsibility for healing themselves through what they eat, and especially through what we stop eating. All those FDA-approved packaged food, the highly processed oils, that were marketed to Americans since WWII. I will just add the MARGARINES (“better than butter”) as being the biggest lies, as Dr. Cate says. It’s only now, that my husband retired and I quit my 10-6 job to join him in our country of origin, that I have had the leisure to really figure out a better lifestyle than the one sold to me ever since my large family immigrated to America when I was 10 yrs old. I bought the FDA as being the last word if something was healthy or not for so many years. Now I say, “The FDA will approve food as long as it’s not going to kill a person within 24 hours!” Meaning that people can’t verifiably link the cause of death to a particular food item. My three-years older than me, sister (a medical doctor) died of cancer 12 years ago, at age 54, and now my youngest sister has been diagnosed with cancer, and I’m on a mission to convince her that she doesn’t have to accept all her doctor’s advice , to help her think outside the box when it comes to healing herself. She’s already doing a lot of changes in her nutritional intake, but her medical insurance (I’m sure) has her locked into going the conventional high-priced cancer chemo treatment. She has to figure out what eating healthy is on her own, which is taxing if she continues to hold down her full time job. From the beginning (last September), I had higher hopes, that her diagnosis doesn’t have to be a “death sentence”, I was just discovering intermittent fasting’s positive effects, which I shared with her—she’s not yet convinced that disease could be reversed. My mission is to help convince her, so thank You, Dr. Mindy, for all your invaluable information, which you back up by the science. Btw, coincidentally, my mom will reach 90 on October 15th, as her youngest child hits 55—I look forward to celebrating 🥳 all three of you on that day. with gratitude 🙏 and ❤️. ☮️🥂 from🇦🇱
