 Dr. Gearoid O'Laoi is an Irish doctor and Histopathologist who embraced #LCHF 5 years ago - to stunning effect. He is extremely well-researched and shares many insights in our rambling conversation here(!). Gearoid is also a proponent of the Calcium Scan, with a zero score at 63 years of age. He has seen much calcium buildup in the many autopsies he has conducted, and knows the power of the scan to save lives, if only it was widely deployed.  The best place to catch up with Gearoid is on Twitter:  @Gearoidmuar   INDEX/CONTENTS:  00:01:08 Intro  00:02:09 Bias in science and data – associations versus experiments – doing it right  00:10:36 Vegans, meats and fats – a chat on some of the studies  00:17:15 Israelis and Omega Six fats, sugar and sat fats, ApoE4 exceptions  00:21:40 Fat fathers and the secrets of losing weight   00:28:24 Depression lifts with low carb, meat and veg…  00:33:19 Cheeses, Terrines and Cholesterol effects  00:35:49 Atherosclerosis mechanisms – and why it appears in specific spots in arteries  00:40:46 Blood Pressure, salt effects – and bears in winter  00:46:08 Sugar, Fructose and the Obesity Trigger  00:48:22 LDL particles versus Insulin, Metabolic Syndrome and the primary root causes  01:00:10 Using your Gut – and the practice of Proctology  01:01:29 Limitations of the human brain in screening pathology samples; cancer - and Legionnaire’s Disease  01:10:43 Avoiding sickness - the importance of a healthy, nutrient-dense diet  01:14:27 Atheroma, calcification, sugar and smoking  01:23:40 Atherosclerosis, calcification, exceptions that prove the rule, Type 1 Diabetes fixes   01:29:02 Some amusing anecdotes to finish – and James Joyce
