The Healthy Pitmaster

I’m a competitive BBQ cook who fought the Grim Reaper & won. This is my story.

How I achieved type 2 diabetes remission

[Elie Jarrouge, MD @ElieJarrougeMD]

GLP-1s don't solve obesity.

They pharmacologically mimic satiety in a world that manufactures hunger for profit.

That’s NOT a cure.

That's a patch on a system that profits from breaking your metabolism.

It isn’t a half truth, it’s a FULL truth! And comparing that to, “you can live without sun for a while” is an awful comparison.

Populations that eat heavy rice and potato diets have a higher prevalence of T2DM than those that don’t. T2DM is caused by insulin resistance, which is a greater predictor of heart disease than LDL cholesterol and can be heavily tied to 7 of the top 10 causes of death in the United States.

If we all started eating a proper human diet, and not the diet the healthcare system (that benefits from our sickness) promoted, Dr. Simpson would be out of business.

If it doesn’t make sense, it makes dollars.

[Dr Terry Simpson @drterrysimpson]

“There is no essential carbohydrate” is one of those half-truths wellness gurus recite with the confidence of a man who just discovered biochemistry on Instagram.

Yes, humans can survive without dietary carbohydrate through gluconeogenesis. We can also survive without sunlight for a while. Survival is not the same thing as optimal nutrition.

What follows is usually the real sales pitch: therefore grains are poison, fruit is dangerous, and Susan from “integrative metabolic wellness” would like to sell you $94 electrolyte powder and a PDF about seed oils.

Meanwhile, populations eating legumes, fruit, rice, potatoes, and whole grains routinely outlive the carnivore podcast circuit.

The problem was never “carbohydrates.” The problem was turning food into industrial sludge and convincing people that a cinnamon roll and a lentil are metabolically identical because both contain carbs.

Biochemistry is real. So is epidemiology. The latter is where many nutrition influencers mysteriously lose interest.

[Elie Jarrouge, MD @ElieJarrougeMD]

If I woke up tomorrow obese, with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, gout, constant fatigue, and brain fog.

On 6 different medications.

Here’s exactly what I would do to fix them all and be off all meds…

@MohammedAlo Rhonda Patrick has a PhD in biomedical science and doesn’t sell any supplements. Why would you call her a grifter? You sell more stuff online than she does.

[Elie Jarrouge, MD @ElieJarrougeMD]

“No evidence low carb is better.”
“No evidence seed oils are harmful.”

And yet…

That’s exactly what works every single time in my practice better than any other diet.

Consistently.

You can argue studies all day.
My patients don’t live in studies.

They live in their bodies.

June 21 2021 changed my life

I got news from my doctor that forced me to look at my health differently

I thought about my wife
my daughters
future weddings
grandkids
and whether I’d be around for any of it

That day changed everything

Reversing insulin resistance - with Dr. Tiffany Marie 8/13/24 https://t.co/PEu9ESFt96

[The Healthy Pitmaster @therealjimbbq]

This is a psychiatrist whose work could completely change how we think about brain health.

There’s research linking insulin resistance to the blood-brain barrier… and almost nobody is talking about it.

If that connection matters, everything changes.

Watch this.
