The Smarter Science of Slim Podcast

by Sarah Pope / Affiliate Links ✔

smarter science of slim

Last week I had the opportunity to chat with Jonathan Bailor on his extremely popular iTunes podcast the smarter science of slim.

Jonathan is a nutrition and exercise expert and former personal trainer who specializes in using high-quality food and exercise to simplify wellness. He has registered over 25 patents and is the author of The Calorie Myth, due out from HarperCollins on December 31, 2013.  Besides hosting a popular, syndicated wellness show, Jonathan also serves as a Senior Program Manager at Microsoft, blogs on The Huffington Post, and consults for organizations around the world.

Soooo, when Jonathan contacted me about being on his show, it took about 3 nanoseconds before I said, “Absolutely”!

Jonathan is one really smart guy and during the interview, asked one of the best questions ever posed to me, “Why is there such a huge divergence of opinion between really smart people in the health and nutrition world?”

This is such a great question – one I have often pondered myself and perhaps you have too.  I hope you will find my answer to this and the other questions Jonathan asked to be both interesting and compelling to think about.

Listen to the full interview via the embedded program below.

I hope you enjoy it and be sure to post any questions you have in the comments section!

    Hi Sarah, I love your blog! Was wondering if you’d consider doing a review of this new book, as some of the advice seems contradictory to WAPF. The ‘science of slim’ website sells both whey and plant based protein powder. As I learned from you, there’s no good protein powder!

    Great job Sarah! As always, you were professional yet passionate, and you made some great points. I really enjoyed it, and hopefully it reached some folks who needed to hear it!

    I thought of you both today while in a meeting with a local health care professional. I learned most medical degree programs do not include basic nutrition in the curriculum, which completely baffles me, but also touches on why so many doctors don’t look to nutrition first; they simply don’t know enough about it.

    I’m excited though, we’re developing a program locally to change that 🙂

    I really enjoyed your interview Sarah. I am a bit confused though. It seems as though some of Jonathon’s food recommendations conflict with Traditional way of eating. For instance recommending low fat yogurt or saying whole milk is not good. Maybe I’m missing something and would appreciate your input. I really want to do what’s right for myself and my family. Thanks so much!

      I haven’t read Jonathan’s book yet as it is not yet out, but he is sending me a copy to review. Always stick with the tried and true wisdom of Traditional Diet where whole, saturated fats were revered not avoided.

      Thank you Sarah for taking the time to respond to my concern. Also, thank you for being such an encouragement to carry on with a Traditional Diet. As you say, it’s tried and true!

      I have been listening to lots of Jonathon’s podcasts, but am also confused where his recommendations seem to deviate from what I have learned from WAPF and traditional diets. I am interested in his approach because I’d like to lose weight. I have also just learned I’m pregnant, so I don’t want to jeopardize the health of my baby. Feel free to e-mail me privately with your recommendations.

    I really appreciated listening to how you got started. I’d love to hear you address poverty and how low income people are supposed to turn their health around in a place where it’s difficult to afford good quality meats. I was fortunate to be able to get a half beef this summer but keeping up with affording raw milk, trying to find and afford quality pork (I love bacon!) and chicken is proving to be difficult. I’m sorry to see that good health is going to only be afforded to people of means.

      I have a post on the blog about how people on food stamps eat local and organic. It can be done 🙂

    The question should be, ““Why is there such a huge divergence of opinion between really smart people?” hahaha

    Love the article. Well, I love all of your articles! Thanks!

      Yes, this question applies to everything, not just health and nutrition. Good point!

    Do you control the type of advertising on your blog? There seems to be some pornographic type teaser pictures coming up for me. I am not personally interested in them, but sometimes I bring my young boys here to read them your blog and I would prefer not to have those type of ads… Just in case you didn’t know

      I have never seen any ads like that and I have opted out of any ad categories that might be family un-friendly in any way. There are some underwear ads that occasionally show up, is that what you are referring to? If not, can you tell me where on the screen it showed up and I can contact that advertiser as they potentially got hacked.
