Mark Sisson Wants Me On Joe Rogan's Podcast

I was running in the woods on Sunday, and I got an email.

From an old colleague, who congratulated me on what Mark Sisson had said.

"Umm, what?"

Sunday with Sisson

Sisson's weekly "Sunday with Sisson" newsletter had gone out. I can't find an archive on his site, but here's a newsletter archive site (don't click on links there, they won't work correctly):

I've got an action item for you all.

If you happen to use Twitter, hop on and retweet my tweet asking Joe Rogan to have Tucker Goodrich on the podcast (or send him one of your own). Tucker has been banging the seed oil drum for many years now, and if we could get one of the strongest anti-seed oil voices onto the most popular and influential podcast in the world, the collective health of the podcast-listening community would skyrocket. Seed oils are one of those health topics that requires some time and detail. Sugar's easy to explain. Grains are too. You can hit those in a single elevator ride and get the point across. But seed oil? To really understand the predicament requires at least a 5- to 10-minute conversation.

Joe's podcasts last up to 3 or 4 hours. They are extremely long form. You can really get into the weeds, and the weeds is sometimes where you need to go.

Here's the tweet:

Get @TuckerGoodrich on to discuss soy and other seed oils, @joerogan. https://t.co/nzl56klE0x

WOW. Thanks, Mark!

The Joe Rogan Experience is the biggest podcast in the world.

This would be an amazing honor, and a fantastic way to get what I think is the most important health message out to the world. He's had lots of great diet topics and debates, including Stephan Guyenet, Chris Kresser, Gary Taubes, and of course Mark Sisson:

How Mitochondrial Defects Can Cause Various Seemingly Unrelated Diseases

"A Mitochondrial Etiology of Common Complex Diseases" [1]

An hour-long discussion of how mitochondrial dysfunction can result in various chronic diseases, and how the assumption that an anatomical division of disease is a driving assumption for how medicine is organized, and how that may block correct description and diagnosis of disease.

The speaker is Douglas C. Wallace, Ph.D.; Director, Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine (CMEM); Professor, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

He does an especially good job of describing how malfunction in a single organelle can cause various diseases in various seemingly unrelated organs.
