This interview is very slow, and doesn’t really get going until the 15m mark. This discussion goes over Travis Masters thesis, and is a random walk through the history of inflammation and seed oils.
The body operates as an interconnected system where every health issue has a logical reason behind it, and understanding these connections through a comprehensive health model can help prevent and reverse chronic conditions.
NOTABLE QUOTE “Every time the body does something, it’s for a reason. If you have insulin resistance, which is only a construct, it doesn’t, there’s no way to measure insulin resistance, but the body becomes because you’re giving it too much sugar and the body goes, I don’t want more sugar. So we’re going to become quote unquote, insulin resistant to protect ourselves.”
EPISODE SUMMARY Benjamin Smith presents his groundbreaking Ultimate Health Model, a comprehensive framework for understanding how the body naturally fights disease and maintains health. As an independent researcher and health coach, Smith developed this model after 15 years of investigating the root causes of chronic diseases. The episode explores how everyday factors like mouth breathing, exposure to blue light, and consumption of seed oils can trigger cellular inflammation and contribute to various health conditions. Smith shares his personal health journey, including how he reversed gum disease and improved his vision through lifestyle modifications based on his model.
Key topics include the importance of proper breathing, sunlight exposure for circadian rhythm regulation, and the critical role of minerals in cellular health. Smith explains how his model divides health factors into “green side” (beneficial) and “red side” (harmful) activities, providing a practical framework for optimal health.
