A Chennai-born engineer by training, he built a 1.4 million-strong following by applying real science to the kitchen and calmly dismantling the panic around microwaves, frozen food, and drinking water with meals. His book Masala Lab decoded the science of Indian cooking. In this conversation he turns the same lens on the body: fat loss, protein, gut bacteria, supplements, and the wellness industry that profits from keeping you anxious. Evidence-first, unbothered by trends, and uninterested in the fear economy most health content runs on.Follow Krish Ashok on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_masalalab X: https://x.com/krishashokTimestamps:00:00:00 – Coming Up00:01:47 – The Food Fear Crisis00:03:09 – Negativity Bias And Clickbait00:07:53 – Cutting Protein On A Diet00:09:34 – Food, Politics, And Religion00:12:15 – Public Water And Hygiene00:14:17 – Why Examine Your Poop00:16:06 – Seven Types Of Poop00:19:39 – Fat Loss Is Mostly Breathing00:24:42 – GLP-1: India Vs America00:28:11 – The Protein Obsession Problem00:28:46 – Why Excess Protein Hurts You00:36:08 – Eating Safe While Travelling00:42:04 – Is Saturated Fat Really Bad00:43:13 – Sugar Industry Paid Harvard00:43:57 – Seed Oils Vs Ghee00:47:49 – Nutrients Vs Whole Foods00:48:49 – Supplements Are Expensive Urine00:51:23 – Fat-Soluble Vitamins Can Overdose00:51:45 – Chai And Iron Absorption00:53:17 – Do Probiotics Actually Work00:54:58 – Soluble Fiber Feeds Gut Bacteria00:56:34 – Lactobacillus And Detox Cleanses00:56:48 – H Pylori And Ulcers01:01:06 – Gut Health Means Small Intestine01:07:28 – Eno Does Not Fix Acidity01:13:34 – Health Has Become Performative01:14:54 – Vitamin D Deficiency Explained01:16:53 – Melanin, Sunlight, And Skin Cancer01:21:22 – Vegetarian Deficiencies And B1201:22:31 – Vegan Diet Deficiency Risks01:30:01 – Veg Vs Non-Veg Labels01:31:53 – Hidden Sugar In Health Foods01:33:07 – Ancestral Diets And Marketing01:37:11 – Read Labels, Resist Marketing====================================================================Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.He spends a significant part of his time reading and researching.With over 500 podcasts under his belt, he’s interviewed everyone—from HNIs and industry leaders to everyday superheroes.Follow Vinamre:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinamre-kasanaa-b8524496/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinamrekasanaa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/VinamreKasanaaDostcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dostcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dostcast====================================================================Contact Us:For business inquiries: [email protected]
