Today I will be talking about another macronutrient, fats or fatty acids. I did an overview of fats in our omega-3 fatty acid episode, but I didn't really go into detail about the other fats, and there is a lot of controversy surrounding the fats, most particularly saturated fats and seed oils which contain the dreaded omega-6 fatty acids. A lot of people hate saturated fats but are ok with omega-6 and vice versa, so what's the real story? I'm not sure if we fully understand the full truth and I think tensions are too high on either side of this debate. I will do my best to explain what these are and present my evidence for why I don't particularly have a problem with either one of them.

E67: ADHD: Stimulants: Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) and Amphetamine Base Medications
Today I will finish the amphetamine medications that we talked about on the last episode. I will be discussing lisdexamfetamine or Vyvanse(r) and the amphetamine base medications, Evekeo(r), Evekeo ODT(r), Dyanavel XR(r), Adzenys XR-ODT(r), and Adzyenys ER(r). You may be less familiar with those other than Vyvanse, so I will go over my usual stuff where I tell you how each of these differs and is unique from other medications, if at all, and let you know what situations that I would consider using each one. Enjoy!

E66: Obesity Medicine: Lifestyle Medicine: Fructose and Artificial Sweeteners
Today I will be continuing with ultra-processed foods and the sugar, fructose. What is it? Where does it come from? What does it do in the body? And why is it a problem? I mean this stuff comes from fruit and fruit is good, right? So, how have we messed this stuff up in modern society? After fructose, I will be talking all about artificial sweeteners. What are the most common types? What are their commercial names? Are they bad for us? If so, how bad and why? I think you'll learn a thing or two today, so please have a listen.

E65 ADHD: Stimulants: Dextroamphetamine and Mixed Amphetamine Salts (Adderall)
Today I will start discussing the stimulant medications used for ADHD. I will be starting with the amphetamine medications. First, I'll talk briefly about methamphetamine, which is actually a prescribable option, but then I will cover all of the dextroamphetamine and mixed amphetamine salt medications. These include medications you have heard of such as Dexedrine, Procentra, Zenzedi, Xelstrym, Adderall, and Mydayis. I'll go through all the details on what distinguishes each of these medications to help you decide when you might want to use each of them. I mostly stick with only a few of the stimulants, but I will describe some situations where you may want to consider each one of these. This is what I love best. There are so many medications that are so similar, so I think it is important to know the differences between them so that we pick the right med for the right patient.
I've been waiting a long time to do this episode. It seems like ultra-processed foods are being talked about a lot this day, but what exactly are they, and what's bad about them? Which ones should we avoid and which ones should we not worry about so much? You may think you know the answer to these questions, but my guess is that there's a lot you don't know, and that's because there's a lot that isn't known, so please have a listen. I think you may rethink a lot of the foods you may have been considering healthy or not. I'm hoping there are some surprises in here for you that makes you reconsider some of your beliefs.
