The Truth About the Mediterranean Diet with Belinda Fettke! 987
Description
Belinda Fettke is a returning guest on our show! Be sure to check out her first appearances on Boundless Body Radio on episode 314, which is personally one of my favorite episodes that we’ve ever done, and also on episode 384, titled Religion, Blue Zones, and the "Plant Slant" with Belinda Fettke.
In episode 314, we interviewed Belinda and her husband, Dr. Gary Fettke, and discussed the reasons why her husband was targeted by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Tasmanian Health Service for practicing a healthy fat, low-carbohydrate diet.
Belinda took the initiative to research the bio-history of religion and its influences on nutrition policies and dietary guidelines. Her research revealed a massive influence of the Seventh-day Adventist church, their tax-free, financial stake in cereal and plant-based food companies, and their impact on what we are told to eat.
Belinda and Gary opened the Nutrition for Life – Diabetes and Health Research Centre, which provides nutritional care around Tasmania and Australia. She is an advocate of a Low Carbohydrate, Healthy Fat (LCHF) lifestyle for the various health benefits, including the reversal of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other chronic diseases.
