Episode 257: Raphael Sirtoli

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Raphael Sirtoli is the chief scientific officer of
Clínica Pêro, a medical clinic focused on root cause medicine in
Lisbon, Portugal. Raphael has an MSc in molecular biology and was
a PhD candidate in neuroscience. He also writes and consults for
ZeroAcreFarms, a company selling a fermented oil low in omega-6
linoleic acid and high in oleic acid. He is the co-founder of
Nutria, which makes a food-tracking app focused on diet quality.
His interest in health and wellness has led him to the study of
other fields such as paleoanthropology, clinical medicine,
epidemiology, biochemistry, endocrinology, and immunology.


In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Raphael talk about why seed
oils are so unhealthy, how seed oil can be processed in such a
way that it is less unhealthy, high levels of carcinogens and
toxins in baby formula, how big food companies work hard to make
people eat food that is not nourishing, why keeping your body’s
microbiome healthy is key to good health, the Wim Hof breathing
technique, how temperature changes and other environmental
factors can effect things like insulin resistance, incretin
affecting drugs, the role that muscle mass plays in metabolic
health, fasting and metabolic health, and the value of trying to
understand some level of medical science to assist you on your
health journey.
