Summary

In Episode #19, I talked with Frank Cusimano (@dr.cusimano) about using science to make informed food choices. With a host of scientific degrees under his belt, a PhD in nutrition, a medical degree underway, and an absolute passion for reading scientific literature, Frank Cusimano is perfectly suited to navigate us through some commonly asked questions about healthy eating. Interestingly, Frank doesn’t specifically classify himself as a vegan. Rather, he chooses his food based on what science says are the healthiest forms of nutrition, and it just so happens that these are animal-free products. In this episode, we cover Frank’s story and his transition to a plant-based diet. We also dive into a number of common questions around healthy eating, including the optimal times to eat meals, whether we should fast, how much protein we need, whether coconut oil and soy are healthy or beneficial, how important omega-3s are, and much more.

Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience

numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you

0:12.2

to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying

0:17.6

the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple

or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue

to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big

plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this

When I moved up to New York to do my PhD, I decided that I needed to be good at doing

0:45.2

this hands-on with people. And so I got my personal training certificate and I started

training at a gym, right in your time square. And that's where I really got to work with

0:54.0

patients again. I got to work with clients. I got to deal with their health issues and

0:57.9

realize that things aren't always so black and white. Sometimes, the effect of just someone's

diet wasn't enough. And you have to look at other things to help them. Like calories

1:06.0

and calories out, timing of your calories, weight loss, nutrition, kind of the overall

1:11.2

standpoint of what are you doing on a day-to-day basis to lower your cortisol levels, lower

1:15.4

your stress levels, and bring it back to where you can put your body in a state of rest

1:19.6

and relaxation to utilize those nutrient ends to the best of their ability without adding

1:24.8

them, putting them directly into the storage component, which would be the device, which

1:28.9

would be fat cells, if that makes sense.
