Today I have the honor of connecting with Temple Stewart! She is a registered dietician specializing in low-carb dieting for women's weight loss.  I have spoken on the stage with Temple several times over the last year, and she is delightful! In this episode, she shares her background, and we dive into how she was able to reverse her PCOS and Hashimoto's by adopting a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet. We discuss food psychology, woke nutrition, whether or not “if it fits your macros” is a good philosophy, issues surrounding the traditional allopathic nutrition model, and challenges related to nutrition research. We also get into plateau busters and share five ways to measure success other than the scale.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Temple transformed her life by using nutrition as medicine. Which foods tend to provoke inflammation in the thyroid gland in women? How people's relationships with food play into the work Temple does. Temple shares her thoughts on woke nutrition. Temple dives into some of the big issues with the allopathic nutrition model. I share some interesting statistics related to American health. How creating consumer awareness will hopefully lead to consumers demanding more for their health regarding food supply and health care. Why is it so challenging to do nutritional research? Temple shares a starting point for addressing weight loss resistance. What carbohydrate reduction or restriction does for us metabolically. The benefits of following a carnivore diet. Why do we need to read food labels and become aware of where sugar may sneak into our diets? Temple shares her favorite ways to break plateaus.

**Episode Summary: "Understanding Good Fat vs. Bad Fat" on "Your Health Matters"** **Aired on 8/11/24 on NewsRadio 570 WSYR, Syracuse** In this episode of "Your Health Matters," Karl Sterling and Elizabeth Brusa explore the critical differences between good and bad fats, shedding light on how these fats impact overall health. **Introduction** Karl begins by emphasizing the importance of healthspan, inspiring listeners to live fuller, healthier lives. He shares a personal health scare that transformed his perspective, driving him to share insights that can help others avoid similar challenges. **Challenging Health Norms** Karl urges listeners to rethink their approach to health, advocating for proactive changes. He acknowledges that while some have made progress in their health journeys, others remain hesitant, often due to fear of change. **Resource Recommendations** Karl recommends "Metabolical" by Dr. Robert Lustig, calling it a game changer for understanding metabolic health. He also highlights the podcast "Feel Better, Live More" by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, specifically noting an episode featuring Dr. Lustig that left a lasting impression. **Neuro Motor Training Clinic Insights** Karl discusses his clinic, Neuro Motor Training in Camillus, which combines physical and cognitive training for a unique approach to wellness. He invites listeners to experience these innovative methods firsthand. **Understanding Different Types of Body Fat** The episode's core discussion focuses on various types of body fat: - **Subcutaneous Fat**: This fat is stored beneath the skin and is generally safe, but excess amounts can lead to health issues. Karl mentions research suggesting that more than 22 pounds of subcutaneous fat may cause problems, though this varies by individual. - **Visceral Fat**: Surrounding the organs, visceral fat is more harmful than subcutaneous fat. Karl explains that chronic stress contributes to its accumulation due to cortisol release, increasing the risk of heart disease and metabolic disorders. - **Liver Fat**: Karl describes liver fat as the most dangerous type, leading to severe metabolic issues even with just half a pound present. He highlights the role of high sugar intake and alcohol consumption in liver fat accumulation. **Diet and Processed Foods** Karl emphasizes the importance of avoiding processed foods, which contribute significantly to fatty liver disease. He highlights alarming statistics about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, affecting a large portion of the U.S. population, including children. **Whole Foods and Health** Advocating for a diet rich in minimally processed whole foods, Karl stresses their role in supporting mitochondrial function and reducing stress. He warns against excessive fructose consumption, which can be harmful when not consumed with the fiber and antioxidants found in whole fruits. **Intramuscular Fat** Karl explains intramuscular fat, which can be mistaken for muscle mass, potentially misleading individuals tracking their fitness progress. He emphasizes understanding body composition nuances to accurately assess health. **Conclusion** Karl concludes by encouraging listeners to take control of their health, explore recommended resources, and consider visiting his clinic. Understanding the nuances of fat and metabolism, he notes, empowers individuals to make healthier choices and improve their quality of life.

In this episode, Dr. Parrella helps us navigate the tough questions when it comes to new medications like Ozempic/Wegovy. We discuss some hot topics, including: What is insulin resistance? Can you be fat and metabolically healthy? Does having a "normal BMI"/being thin automatically make you metabolically healthy? What do the STEP trials and the SELECT trial really show us? What does that data mean? Can you take a medication like Ozempic for a short time "just to lose a little weight" and then stop? Should you expect to maintain that weight loss? What are the potential side effects/downsides of medications like Ozempic (GLP-1 agonists)? Why are these meds so damn expensive? Is it like that all over the world?

Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are being trumpeted as a cure for obesity. While they are proven to induce weight loss, the underlying issues that cause obesity - ultra processed food - are largely unaddressed.

Dr. Robert Lustig has a degree from MIT, a medical degree from Cornell University and a law degree from U.C. Hastings.  He is bold in his messaging: Our metabolic health as a nation has been negatively affected by our nutrition---We are not eating real foods, whole foods.  Sugar is added to ultra-processed foods and it is making us sicker.  75 percent of our health care costs in the U.S. are due to our poor metabolic health which is related directly to our poor nutrition.  Doctors treat the symptoms of metabolic disease and do not urge prevention through eating real food. The food industry and big pharma are all financially highly incented to keep us addicted and they know sugar and ultra-processed foods are addictive.   His Youtube video, Sugar: The Bitter Truth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM) has gone viral with over 24 million views.  His most recent book Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Metabolical&i=stripbooks&crid=3KXLJ2N75LH2J&sprefix=metabolical%2Cstripbooks%2C109&ref=nb_sb_noss_1) offers an excellent account of what is truly going on:  Food and sugar addiction are real, the food industry knows this and adds sugar to foods, our doctors are treating the symptoms of obesity and metabolic syndrome by throwing pills at the problem and the pharmaceutical industry is motivated to be complicit. Dr. Lustig is a vocal advocate for placing Food Addiction in the DSM-V as a substance use disorder just like alcohol and drugs so that insurance companies will pay for treatment.  What a brilliant and inspiring man Dr. Robert Lustig is! Listen in!

The African American And Latino Communities Are Abused By The Food Industry Dr. Robert Lustig • http://www.robertlustig.com • Book - Metabolical #RobertLustig#BigFood #BigPharma #BigGovernment Dr. Robert Lustig is a The New York Times bestselling author and author of Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine and a Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco.  Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. You can't solve a problem if you don't know what the problem is. One of Lustig's singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to “connect the dots” for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the “real story of food” and “the story of real food.” Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: • Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itself• You can diagnose your own biochemical profile • Chronic diseases are not "druggable," but they are "foodable" • Processed food isn't just toxic, it's addictive• The war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same side• Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other side Making the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains what's needed to fix all three. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. A native of Brooklyn, New York, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital, his clinical fellowship at UCSF, his post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He has been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis. In 2013, Dr. Lustig received his Masters in the study of Law from University of California, Hastings to enable him to impact the food industry through policy change. Dr. Lustig has authored 125 peer-reviewed articles and 73 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals. He provides endocrinologic support to several protocols of the Children's Oncology Group. He is the former Chairman of the Ad hoc Obesity Task Force of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Practice Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Devices Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a member of the Bay Area Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and a member of the Steering Committee of Health Foods, Healthy Kids of the Culinary Institute of America. He also consults for several childhood obesity advocacy groups. Dr. Lustig lives in San Francisco with his wife Julie and two daughters. Spare time (what little there is) is spent cooking, theater-going, and traveling. To Contact Dr Robert Lustig, M.D.  go to robertlustig.com Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

Today I have the honor of connecting with Temple Stewart! She is a registered dietician specializing in low-carb dieting for women's weight loss.  I have spoken on the stage with Temple several times over the last year, and she is delightful! In this episode, she shares her background, and we dive into how she was able to reverse her PCOS and Hashimoto's by adopting a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet. We discuss food psychology, woke nutrition, whether or not “if it fits your macros” is a good philosophy, issues surrounding the traditional allopathic nutrition model, and challenges related to nutrition research. We also get into plateau busters and share five ways to measure success other than the scale.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Temple transformed her life by using nutrition as medicine. Which foods tend to provoke inflammation in the thyroid gland in women? How people's relationships with food play into the work Temple does. Temple shares her thoughts on woke nutrition. Temple dives into some of the big issues with the allopathic nutrition model. I share some interesting statistics related to American health. How creating consumer awareness will hopefully lead to consumers demanding more for their health regarding food supply and health care. Why is it so challenging to do nutritional research? Temple shares a starting point for addressing weight loss resistance. What carbohydrate reduction or restriction does for us metabolically. The benefits of following a carnivore diet. Why do we need to read food labels and become aware of where sugar may sneak into our diets? Temple shares her favorite ways to break plateaus. Five ways to measure success other than the scale.   Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Connect with Temple Stewart On Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Spotify (@the.ketogenic.nutritionist) The Ketogenic Nutritionist Podcast Books mentioned: Metabolical, by Robert Lustig

Green Smoothies vs. Fruit Smoothies Dr. Robert Lustig • http://www.robertlustig.com • Book - Metabolical #RobertLustig#BigFood #BigPharma #BigGovernment Dr. Robert Lustig is a The New York Times bestselling author and author of Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine and a Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco.  Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. You can't solve a problem if you don't know what the problem is. One of Lustig's singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to “connect the dots” for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the “real story of food” and “the story of real food.” Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: • Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itself• You can diagnose your own biochemical profile • Chronic diseases are not "druggable," but they are "foodable" • Processed food isn't just toxic, it's addictive• The war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same side• Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other side Making the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains what's needed to fix all three. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. A native of Brooklyn, New York, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital, his clinical fellowship at UCSF, his post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He has been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis. In 2013, Dr. Lustig received his Masters in the study of Law from University of California, Hastings to enable him to impact the food industry through policy change. Dr. Lustig has authored 125 peer-reviewed articles and 73 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals. He provides endocrinologic support to several protocols of the Children's Oncology Group. He is the former Chairman of the Ad hoc Obesity Task Force of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Practice Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Devices Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a member of the Bay Area Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and a member of the Steering Committee of Health Foods, Healthy Kids of the Culinary Institute of America. He also consults for several childhood obesity advocacy groups. Dr. Lustig lives in San Francisco with his wife Julie and two daughters. Spare time (what little there is) is spent cooking, theater-going, and traveling. To Contact Dr Robert Lustig, M.D.  go to robertlustig.com Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

หนังสือ Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine ของ Robert H. Lustig - เมื่ออาหารเป็นสิ่งที่เราต้องกินกันทุกวัน แล้วในความเป็นจริงแล้วอาหารกับระบบร่างกายนั้นสิ่งใดสำคัญกว่า - อาหารนั้นมีส่วนสำคัญต่อร่างกาย ถ้าเราเลือกรับประทานอาหารเฉพาะอาหารที่ไม่ปรุงแต่งสี กลิ่น และรสชาติมาก - ส่วนน้ำตาลและอาหารแปรรูปนั้นก็เป็นส่วนหนึ่งที่ทำให้ระบบเผาผลาญของเราแย่ลง เพียงเพราะมันย่อยสลายยากนั่นเอง - แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้วแม่บทของทุกสรรพสิ่ง ในเรื่องของร่างกายเรานั้นว่าจะมีสุขภาพแข็งแรงหรืออ่อนแอ ก็จะขึ้นอยู่กับระบบเผาผลาญมวลรวมอยู่ดี - ทั้งนี้ หนังสือสายสุขภาพส่วนใหญ่เน้นไปที่การกินแบบคีโตและวีแกน ซึ่งบางทีแล้วการเลือกกินแต่อาหารไขมันต่ำเกินไปส่งผลทำให้ร่างกายขาดไขมันที่ดี ก็จะทำให้มีปัญหาตามมาได้เช่นกัน

Not all fats are made the same. In this episode, Dr. Robert Lustig teaches us the seven classes of fats and their differences, from Omega 3's , 6's and 9's, vegan fats, to how to safely consume them. Dr. Lustig also discusses the history of onset metabolic disease and food policy in the United States, outlining culprits of their epidemic impacts on public health.

A metabolic blood test and cholesterol panel can be confusing, so in this ultimate guide, our Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder Dr. Casey Means talks with Levels advisor and author of Metabolical to give you advice on how to interpret your panels to better understand the status of your metabolic health. Look for multiple new shows per week on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations about metabolic health and how the Levels startup team builds a wellness movement from the ground up in the health and wellness tech industry.

In this episode, we are joined by esteemed pediatric neuro endocrinologist, professor, and author, Dr. Robert Lustig, to discuss the industry-disrupting research around processed foods, and how it could lead to systemic breakthroughs in how we treat and prevent many of the chronic metabolic diseases that are increasingly on the rise. We go deep into the science behind many of the topics in his new book, Metabolical, to understand the nuances behind how food either works for us or against us. This eye-opening conversation makes clear the meaning of food as medicine, and brings a critical awareness to the connection between our plate and our life-long health from childhood onward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Robert Lustig, is sounding the alarm on the problems caused by processed foods and sugar. His new book, Metabolical, takes a deep dive into what's fueling the continual increase of lifestyle diseases. By now, you know these diseases by heart… type 2 diabetes, hypertension, lipid problems, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, and the list goes on.   One of Robert's defining messages is that these lifestyle diseases aren't druggable, but they are foodable. You're about to find out what that means in today's episode. Food is the only lever you have to affect biochemical change to improve your health. As Dr. Lustig says, "If we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet."  Here are some highlights from the show...  "My job is to kill the calorie, I want it gone as a unit of measure because it is absolutely completely useless. It's only gotten us into more and more trouble."   "All food is inherently good; it's what's been done to the food that can make it bad. All of your cells either respond positively or negatively to the specific components of your food."    "Essentially, all you need to know are two precepts, six words total: protect the liver, feed the gut."   "Everybody kept saying, 'eat less, exercise more, eat less, exercise more.' Guess what? We ate less, we exercised more, and we only gained more weight." Buckle up!    For more podcasts, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.

Today is a very special episode of the podcast. I'm joined by Morley Robbins, a brilliant man who I've followed for years and wields one of the best informed perspectives on nutrition and biochemistry in the world.  He's a renowned expert in iron, magnesium, and especially, copper – how they interact in our bodies and how misunderstood they are in our society. This is copper like you've never seen it before. After you hear this one, you too, will be surprised at the relative anonymity of this truly amazing and multifunctional mineral. We also unpack the truth behind widespread anemia misdiagnosis, the challenge of understanding and deciphering the loud voices of health gurus from all across the spectrum, good sources of copper in food and supplements, and so much more.  We spend the last hour studying my own blood work, uncovering a few numbers I can be proud of and a few others that require further research to understand. The journey of learning and expansion never ends; that's the fun of it all. 00:05:06 — Getting to Know Morley Robbins Praising the scientific contributions of Albert Szent-Györgyi Praising the scientific contributions of Dr. Leslie Klevay Praising the scientific contributions of James F Collins, Ph.D. Extreme Health Radio + Mitolife Radio EpiEnergetics: The Miraculous Healing Powers of Donny Epstein #138 Challenging childhood and medical inspirations  Discovering the innate healer  Root Cause Protocol Reconciling rigid health advice  Cu-RE Your Fatigue by Morley Robbins Ray Peat on iron toxicity It all comes back to energy  00:23:05 — Energy, Intelligence & Copper Painting a different picture of copper  Starting his journey with magnesium  Carolyn Dean's Magnesium Miracle The role of oxidative stress in our body Celebrating ceruloplasmin The Golden Plow and iron farming equipment Recalling the work of Viktor Schauberger The iron fortification of our food (1941) Iron: The Most Toxic Metal by Jym Moon PhD Iron metabolism vs. sugar metabolism  Metabolical by Robert Lustig Commenting on the work of Bruce Ames Iron in the blood vs. iron in the tissue Iron, COVID, and the jab Energy and intelligence  Copper as the God particle  50,000 atoms of copper in each mitochondria  01:08:37 — Myth-Busting Anemia in America Three most important iron markers in blood work Recycling systems in our body  Why and how anemia is misdiagnosed Course record for iron infusions  Does anemia exist?

When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that.

Episode 3 of season 11 of The Lifestyle First Podcast is centred around the F in the Lifestyle First Method. F is for FOOD: WHAT FOOD CHOICES MATCH YOUR NEEDS? The big questions I get asked all the time are “What's the best diet?” and “What should(n't) I eat?” It's complex, there's no perfect diet. There's always so much emotion associated with eating, and what you need to do is give yourself unconditional permission to eat and to see food as your life source and energy source. Talking about food as carbohydrates, proteins or fats is not talking about real food. Food is a package, not an isolated nutrient – food is packed with nutrients, flavours, smells, textures, colours – all of which add to the sensory and nutritional input of your food experiences. * * * * * In this episode, to help me explore the subject of food & in particular the subject of sugar I invited along MasalaBody.com founder Nagina Abdullah. Nagina Abdullah is on a mission to help ambitious women lose weight sustainably without sacrifice through her coaching business https://masalabody.com Nagina was 40 Pounds Overweight with an incredibly demanding career and two small kids and went from feeling tired, sluggish, and frustrated to melting off 40 lbs in 9 months and her sustainable approach has helped keep the weight off for years. *** In the episode Nagina & I discuss the question “how do you get rid of sugar cravings?” The two references we explore are: Robert Lustig . Metabolical: The truth about processed food and how it poisons people and the planet https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metabolical-processed-poisons-people-planet/dp/1529350077 Sweetening of the global diet, particularly beverages: patterns, trends, and policy responses by Prof Barry M Popkin, PhD & Corinna Hawkes, PhD https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(15)00419-2/fulltext ••••• As always we give you three actions to take away from the episode which are: 1. Focus on what you can add to your diet to satiate your craving for the sweet rather than focusing on what you have to remove. Spices such as cinnamon can be a great place to start & can give a 'sweet' flavour whilst actually reducing your blood sugar. 2. Focus on a 'Protein More' approach. Protein creates satiety & a full feeling that can help keep cravings at bay. 3. Drink 'de-bloating' water. Add 2 lemons, 1 cucumber & 10-12 mint leaves to a 6 glass pitcher of water & allow them to steep over night in your fridge. This is not only a great tasting drink but can also help avoid that need for a sweet fix. * * * * * Find Out More/Contact/Follow: https://masalabody.com Get your copy of the 'SWEET SPICE CHEAT SHEET' for free at https://masalabody.com/sweetspicepdf/ Socials https://www.linkedin.com/in/nagina-abdullah/ https://www.instagram.com/masalabody/ https://www.facebook.com/masalabody Contact Nagina at nagina@masalabody.com You can discover more & connect with Dr. Alka at the links below: Newsletter: https://dralkapatel.com/mailinglist Website: https://dralkapatel.com/ Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dralkapat... https://www.facebook.com/dralkapateluk https://www.instagram.com/dralkapateluk https://twitter.com/dralkapateluk * * * * * DISCLAIMER: This content does not constitute or substitute personal one-to-one professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

When life gets stressful and busy, convenient processed foods can be an easy fix. If you're already late for work and your teen is scrambling to get out the door in the morning, frozen waffles or fruit loops are suddenly much more realistic than scrambled eggs and fruit. When you're exhausted coming home from work, it can feel impossible to do anything more than throw some pizza rolls in the oven for the kids and pour yourself a glass of wine.But these processed foods aren't just slightly bad for your health–they can be downright poisonous for you and your family. The refined sugars and lack of nutritional benefits in these convenience foods causes serious damage to the digestive system and contributes to the  development of metabolic diseases like heart disease, diabetes and more.If we want to take care of our kids' health (and our own), our families have got to start eating better. To learn how, we're talking to Dr. Robert Lustig, author of Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine. Dr. Lustig is an Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the division of Endocrinology at the University of California San Francisco. He lectures globally about health and is the best selling of several other books about nutrition.In our interview, Dr. Lustig and I are covering the surprising science behind our sugary diets–and why it's so essential that we change our eating habits. Plus, why our families should be consuming more fiber, and why today's kids are so addicted to junk food.

Episodes on food are the most downloaded. We have put together parts of the episodes that are compelling listening with ideas to consider.  On the Healthyish podcast  Felicity and I discuss sugar addiction and what to do about it.Dr James Muecke, Lieutenant Governor, South Australia discusses diabetes and the impact of sugar.Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on processed food has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases.a pioneer and advocate, author of "Fat Chance" and "Metabolical". Maria Bernard, Director of Nourishmenutrition.nz Promoter and Associate Registered Nutritionist working with Pacific Communities. We discuss techniques for becoming more aware of how much sugar is contained in foods and beverages.Support the show

In today's season 5 premiere, I talk with Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir. She tells us about her own journey with food addiction, how she helped herself and then how she opened one of the first food addiction treatment programs in the world. And after doing those things, also founded INFACT, to help professionals get the training needed to help their food addict patients. Esther has almost 20 years of abstinence under her belt and is changing the world so that everyone can find and get treatment. Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir is a pioneer in the field of food addiction treatment. Once an opera singer and opera teacher, Esther was battling food addiction for most of her adult life until she discovered a twelve step program that changed her life. Once in recovery, she opened one of the first food addiction treatment programs in the world. The MFM program in Iceland has treated many people, some of them had tried multiple diets and even surgery in an attempt to live a healthier life. Esther's program gives them hope and the tools to achieve long term recovery. Based on the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous their success rate long term is much higher than any other medical intervention. After establishing the treatment center, Esther realized that not only the patients needed help with food addiction but also the professionals. She then founded INFACT, an international training program for any type of professional willing to learn about food addiction and how to help those suffering with it. The six months online course is open to everyone and it gives you an excellent evidence based knowledge on Food Addiction diagnosis and treatment. The list of lecturers is very impressive, from Nicole Avena to Robert Lustig (author of Metabolical) to experienced counsellors on the field of food addiction like Phil Werdell. At the end of the course, attendees receive a Food Addiction Professional Certificate from the European Certification Board. On top of this impressive curriculum, Esther is the Executive Director and Chair of the Food Addiction Institute, an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to support the healing of all food addicts, founded in 2005.

But there is hope: this book explains what's needed to fix all three.Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. A native of Brooklyn, New York, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital, his clinical fellowship at UCSF, his post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He has been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis. In 2013, Dr. Lustig received his Masters in the study of Law from University of California, Hastings to enable him to impact the food industry through policy change.Dr. Lustig has authored 125 peer-reviewed articles and 73 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals. He provides endocrinologic support to several protocols of the Children's Oncology Group. He is the former Chairman of the Ad hoc Obesity Task Force of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Practice Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Devices Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a member of the Bay Area Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and a member of the Steering Committee of Health Foods, Healthy Kids of the Culinary Institute of America. He also consults for several childhood obesity advocacy groups.Dr. Lustig lives in San Francisco with his wife Julie and two daughters. Spare time (what little there is) is spent cooking, theater-going, and traveling.To Contact Dr Robert Lustig, M.D.  go to robertlustig.com CLICK HERE - To Checkout Our MEMBERSHIP CLUB: http://www.realtruthtalks.com  • Social Media ChannelsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TRTAHConferenceInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/therealtruthabouthealth/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RTAHealth Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-real-truth-about-health-conference/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealTruthAboutHealth Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

This week on Brain Health Matters, Kate Kunkel interviews Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan. She is a Professor Emerita in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary, in Alberta, Canada.Dr. Kaplan's interest in the biological basis of behavior led to postdoctoral training and then faculty research in neurophysiology. She has published widely on the biological basis of developmental disorders and mental health, especially the contribution of nutrition to brain development and brain function, including in her book, “The Better Brain”.This powerful passage from the book is the perfect introduction to this discussion“We are in the midst of a mental health crisis. An estimated one in five American adults suffer from some form of mental illness. Despite the billions of dollars spent in pharmaceutical research and the rising popularity of antidepressant drugs, we are more depressed and anxious than ever before.What if we're looking for solutions in the wrong places? What if instead of treating mental illness with prescriptions and medication, we changed what we eat and how we feed our brains?”Be sure to tune in to this powerful discussion - Some highlights of include:02:09 Psychiatric medication's place in nurturing better mental health08:04 ADHD – Turning it around with nutrition10:30 How proof of mental health improvement is ignored or maligned in major media12:25 Startling success with B vitamins14:4 Why the “Magic Bullet” approach to vitamins cannot work to improve brain health16:24 How mood regulation can be achieved with dietary changes and micro-nutrients21:11 Organic or no?

Join us today, learn all about how the western diet is making us unhappy, unhealthy, and weak. Dr Robert Lustig is a pioneer and advocate, author of "Fat Chance" and "Metabolical". You can learn more at his website and links below.Addicted to the western diet.Dr Lustig discusses on the podcast that certain foods — “hyperpalatable foods” — particularly processed foods that are high in sugar, salt and fat can be addictive.  Food addiction is still a controversial concept in the scientific community. But researchers find strong evidence that certain foods can trigger binging, craving and withdrawal, responses that are similar to those produced by addictive substances like alcohol, cocaine and tobacco.Dr Lustig discusses that "Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for about 50% of the global disease burden and some 75% of total health-care spending. The role of processed foods in these chronic conditions is undisputed; every country that adopts the high-fat, high-sugar “Western pattern diet” is plagued by the same diseases and costs. But the big question for health professionals is whether the quantity or the quality of foods is to blame. This is an important distinction, because quantity is determined by the user, while quality is determined by the industry.Some health experts argue that specific components of processed foods – in particular, sugar – are as addictive as cocaine and heroin. For example, sugar is consistently the ingredient with the highest score on the Yale Food Addiction Scale, which measures people's food cravings.Not everyone who is exposed to sugar becomes addicted; but, as with alcohol, many do. While refined sugar is the same compound found in fruit, it lacks fiber and has been crystallized for purity. It is this process that turns sugar from a “food” into a “drug,” allowing the food industry to “hook” unsuspecting consumers. The evidence is visible in every aisle of every grocery store, where a staggering 74% of all food items are spiked with added sugar. In fact, sugar's allure is a big reason why the processed food industry's current profit margin is 5% (up from 1%), and why so many of us are sick, fat, stupid, broke, depressed, and just plain miserable".Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases.In his New York Times best selling book Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processes Food, Obesity, and Disease, Robert documents both the science and the politics that have led to the current pandemic of obesity and chronic disease. In the Fat Chance Cookbook, Robert provides practical examples for applying healthy eating principles with recipes by Cindy Gershen.Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with basic and clinical training relative to hypothalamic development, anatomy, and function.

In this best of episode, Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco, has written a number of excellent books about health. In his book, “Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine” goes deep into the details of how changes in our food supply have damaged our metabolic health. (The created term “metabolical” is actually a portmanteau of the words “metabolic” and “diabolical.”)

Dr. Robert Lustig is a Professor Emeritus from the University of California, San Francisco in Pediatric Endocrinology (www.robertlustig.com).  He observed the terrible toll that the processed food industry has taken on the health of our children and ourselves.  These foods lure us to pleasure instead of happiness, he writes.  He is the author of "Fat Chance" and his latest book "Metabolical: The Lures and Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition and Modern Medicine". Here's a quote from his website:  Sugar is now the most ubiquitous foodstuff worldwide, and has been added to virtually every processed food, limiting consumer choice and the ability to avoid it. Approximately 80 percent of the 6,000,000 consumer packaged foods in the United States have added caloric sweeteners.

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and InsideTracker.Seventy-four percent of products in the grocery store are spiked with some kind of sugar. The food industry has done this on purpose to keep you coming back for more. Here's the thing: The liver can innately process a small amount of sugar packaged in a real food, like a piece of whole fruit. But when it comes to large amounts in our food supply—and regularly eating lots of concentrated fructose in particular—we are poisoning our liver and mitochondria, and severely disrupting our microbiome. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Robert Lustig about the real dangers of eating too much sugar and how to take better care of our metabolic health.Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He's the Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is also one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry, in part through his game-changing books. His latest work is Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine.In this episode, we dive into: -Understanding the difference between cells growing and burning, and what this has to do with disease (7:51) -The eight chronic metabolic diseases (16:04)-The eight subcellular pathologies that underlie metabolic diseases (19:24)-How to fix the eight subcellular pathologies (22:47) -The calorie myth (31:10)-The biggest sources of fructose in our diet (45:40)-The four substrates in our food supply that damage mitochondria (53:11)-How fructose can cause leaky gut (58:24) -Alcohol, sugar addiction, and how to safely enjoy dessert (1:19:24)-What you can do to create change in our food system (1:33:49) For more on Dr. Robert Lustig, follow him on Facebook @drrobertlustig, Twitter @robertlustigmd, YouTube @robertlustig, and through his website https://robertlustig.com/.

Until recently, getting a blood glucose measurement required a finger stick. The whole process was so painful and annoying that only diabetics taking insulin bothered to do it regularly. But there's a new class of devices called continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs, that make getting a glucose reading as easy as glancing at your smartwatch to see your heart rate. A CGM is a patch with a tiny electrode that goes into your skin to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid, plus a radio that sends the measurement to an external device like your phone. The devices are pain-free to use, and they're rapidly coming down in price. Harry's guest today, Maz Brumand, is head of business at Levels, a startup that wants to use CGMs to help everyone understand how their choices about food and lifestyle affect their health.Please rate and review The Harry Glorikian Show on Apple Podcasts!

Welcome to The Harry Glorikian Show, the interview podcast that explores how technology is changing everything we know about healthcare.Artificial intelligence. Big data. Predictive analytics. In fields like these, breakthroughs are happening way faster than most people realize. If you want to be proactive about your own health and the health of your loved ones, you'll need to learn everything you can about how medicine is changing and how you can take advantage of all the new options.Explaining this approaching world is the mission of my new book, The Future You. And it's also our theme here on the show, where we bring you conversations with the innovators, caregivers, and patient advocates who are transforming the healthcare system and working to push it in positive directions.People used to go through their lives not knowing very much about what they were eating or what was going on inside their bodies.If you time-traveled back to the year 1900 and you stopped a person on the street to ask how much they weigh, they probably wouldn't be able to tell you—because the bathroom scale didn't become a common consumer item until the 1920s.If you visited the 1960s and walked into a grocery store, you wouldn't be able to figure out the calorie, protein, and carbohydrate content of anything—because nutrition labels weren't a thing until the 1970s.And until very recently, the only way to figure out your blood pressure was to visit a doctor's office or find someone who'd been trained to use a blood pressure cuff. Now you can buy an automated home blood pressure monitor for under fifty dollars.And of course, if you have a wearable device like an Apple Watch, a quick glance at your wrist can show your heart rate or even an EEG readout.So, what's the next health-related measurement that's about to go from obscure to commonplace?It might just be your glucose level. Until recently, getting a blood glucose measurement required a finger stick. The whole process was so painful and annoying that only diabetics taking insulin bothered to do it regularly, to avoid episodes of hyper- or hypoglycemia.But there's a new class of devices called continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs. They're pain-free, and they're rapidly coming down in price.A CGM sticks to your arm and it has a tiny electrode that goes into your skin to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. There's also a radio that sends the measurement to an external device like your phone. I wear a CGM myself. Over time it's teaching me which foods cause my glucose to spike the fastest, and which ones can help me keep it more even over time.My guest today, Maz Brumand, works for a company called Levels that wants to use CGMs to help everyone understand how their choices about food and lifestyle affect their health.Maz left a pretty high-level position at Apple last fall to join Levels.And my first couple of questions for him were about what attracted him to the company, and why he would leave a company like Apple, with more than a billion users worldwide, for a health-tech startup that isn't even out of beta.So here's my conversation with Maz Brumand.Harry Glorikian: Maz, welcome to the show.Maz Brumand: Thanks, Harry. Thanks for having me.Harry Glorikian: So I want to start by maybe, [going over] the story behind Levels. I mean, you've got five great founders with, you know, stellar Silicon Valley credentials from companies like Google, SpaceX. And, you know, pretty much why they started the company, you know, and I'd love to understand sort of the special sauce and unique insight that you guys felt that you could bring to the market for mobile health monitoring.Maz Brumand: Yeah, that was a good question. You know, we have found five founders, as you mentioned, and they're just fantastic group of people. They're they're very passionate about this area in health. And I think all of it started from Josh, one of the founders where he quickly understood that there is power in CGMs and that he has been in his account living a healthy life. But when he actually started measuring his glucose, he realized that a lot of the things common knowledge or advice around food was wrong. And there is great stories on that on our podcast. For example, drinking juice. And all of us think that drinking juice is the healthiest thing you could do. And so I think one of the investor meetings, he took a juice that was, you know, presumably very healthy, a green juice, and drank it and shot his saw his glucose spike sky high. And so that was kind of an indication that there is something here. But you know, the thesis behind the company is that we don't know what's going on in our bodies. And if we could create a dynamic where we have bio observability and by that, I mean, we can actually see what's going on inside our body based on our behavior and actions. For example, in the case of CGM, if you eat a hamburger, the CGM will tell you how your body's going to react to that in real time. Or if you eat a doughnut. It will tell you so. There is no two questions about it. It's very specific to you and it will show you in real time how your behavior is going to impact your health. And that's very powerful. And so the thesis of Levels is starting with CGM, can we create that feedback? Can we close it in real time? Can we show you how food and your lifestyle affects your health and create this path towards healthier lifestyle and healthier decisions?Harry Glorikian: Yeah. You know, we're going to jump into all of that, but I want to step back for just a second. You spent nine years at Apple. You were head of business and strategic development for the Health Strategic Initiatives Division. So just did you? What? What products did you did you work on? Because that's super exciting.Maz Brumand: Yeah, the stuff that's public. We worked on a lot of research efforts to really understand, for example, how human cognition works. One of the projects I led was quantifying cognition to understand how cognition changes based on lifestyle and then also based on decline due to disease. And that's just an example of one research. We had research around how screening affect early on will change the trajectory, so I spent a lot of time thinking about how does our behavior and how does technology allow us to improve human health.Harry Glorikian: So I was reading about your background. I mean, you, you seemed like an outdoorsy guy like, former triathlete. If I if I read it correctly, were you always interested in health and wellness technology or did that something was that evolved over time?Maz Brumand: Yeah, that's a tricky question. From the wellness perspective, I've always been interested. I've always been an athlete. I've always been active. I always try to manage my food. But if you asked me 10 years ago that I would end up in health, I would have told you, you're crazy. And the way I thought about health was always like being hospitals and IT systems, and it did not interest me at all. I thought it was slow and and not very interesting. But as Apple entered its health journey, obviously with releasing the Watch and then putting a heart sensor on the Watch, which was actually more elementary, yeah, I've got one, too. We quickly realized that there is so much power putting the consumer at the center of their data, and that kind of led to the whole platform that Apple created around HealthKit and ResearchKit and then built the products at the top. That being involved in that and I was part of the New Technologies Group within Apple on the commercial side. So I got introduced to that. And when I saw that, I fell in love with it because I saw that we can really change the discussion about health and put the consumer at the center. And nobody's better than the consumer to make decisions about their health. They're the one that probably cares most about their health. And so creating the dynamic where you allow consumers to take control of their health, by providing insights, by providing clarity, by providing services to help them manage that, seemed like a better way than having a disintermediation that we've obviously experienced in U.S. health care, and it's very well documented.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm in the venture world, so I mean, I love the the way the technology is changing the entire, you know, center of power or center of gravity that that that's evolving over time. But I mean, Apple is like, I don't know, over a billion users in the world, so, you know, you left for a startup. Why?Maz Brumand: Yeah, that's a good question. You know, working at Apple, I learned that to really make a difference, it has to be an ecosystem. And each of the players in the ecosystem have a different role. For example, Apple has really played a fantastic role in creating the platform and allowing people to take control of their health data on their phones. And it's built a platform where other people can now build on top of to help. But Apple plays a unique role in the sense that it is this platform and it is going into verticals and trying to help wherever they can. But there are many more opportunities for startups like Levels to come and build on top. And when I was doing a little bit of soul searching about what would I do, I want to do with my life for the next 10, 20, 30 years, I was thinking about what are the big problems that we need to solve in health, and two areas became pretty apparent to me. One was metabolic health, because it's the underlying of many of our chronic diseases, which has not only economic implications, but health implications around morbidity and mortality. And it's a big problem not just in the US, but around the world. And then the second was mental health. And looking at the space, what I thought made sense and looking at the companies, metabolic health is what I really wanted to go tackle. And I got introduced to Levels about a year ago and I've been watching them.Maz Brumand: And the fact that they're building in public and being so transparent really helped me get to know them over the years. And I think the metabolic health space or in some of these things that are still in early innings, you need a startup to take the first step and accelerate and take risk to make this into something that consumers will accept. And there is a lot of things that needs to be done and put in place for this mission to be accomplished. But I felt that I could do that inside a startup faster. And then obviously, companies like Apple and others can help scale this and make it available to many, many, many more people, not just here in the U.S., but globally. But I think there's just a different role to be played by startups and Apple, and I felt like getting to know Levels, I felt like they've got the DNA that's not too different than Apple. High integrity, focus on customer trust. Just like Apple, focused on privacy and trust and the way they're building the company focusing on culture is also something that's quite differentiated. So even though there's different places in their evolution, I felt like it was similar DNA between Levels and Apple. And it's just that in metabolic health today, I think a startup like levels can move a lot faster and create that change.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, I've looked at a lot of these different, you know, technologies people say, Well, you know, you're wearing an Apple Watch. What does that do? What does this do? And I always tell them, I'm like, I think of the Apple Watch as sort of a aggregator or data repository, and things that sit on top of it are the monitoring or applications that would then do something with the data that that then is useful to me. But I mean, I've I've worn a CGM, you know, I can tell you that Korean bibimbap like spikes the hell out of me and it stays up there for much longer. But but you know, I just I was talking to somebody the other day and they're like, OK, why would you wear a CGM? And and you know, how do I use it and so forth? And I was trying to walk them through the other things. But you get to now tell our listeners: So why do healthy people need this data? Why is this CGM data useful for people who are not diabetic or pre-diabetic, right?Maz Brumand: Yeah, yeah, that's a really good question. Look, you can look at everything from a disease perspective and look at, so now I've got a disease, how do I treat it or treat the symptoms? Or you could think of a foundation. And so what is actually leading to these things that are now disease and or symptoms of disease? It's kind of like saying, I'm overweight, so I should go get a scale versus having a scale to measure yourself to make sure you don't become overweight, but then saying, I only sell you a scale if you're already overweight. So if I show up and I'm skinny, I cannot buy a scale. It's kind of a crazy thought experiment, right? And then the CGM is based, I think, you know, we should think about like, what are the underlying things that are leading to these diseases? And it is metabolic dysfunction, which is how your cell produces and uses energy. And this is a long journey. It doesn't happen overnight. So it may take 10 years for somebody to develop diabetes and you really want to measure their behavior today that's going to lead to that metabolic dysfunction and intervene today. So what CGMs do and other technologies like that, is they provide real time feedback at the molecular level, which is what called bio-observability, to help you change that. So if I don't know something is not working for me metabolically, how can I change that behavior? For example, I used to eat oats in the morning.Maz Brumand: And I think many people do. I always thought that's the healthiest thing I could do, I sometimes would even skip the milk and just be literally oats, which is crazy, right? And I thought I was the healthiest person in the world until I put on a CGM or saw other people put on a CGM, that that oats are really bad for you, especially right smack in the middle of your morning, when you're actually trying to have sustained energy over the day. So CGM enable you to see that. Because first of all, I don't think science and knowledge around some of these things is is is well understood because it's so hard to do a clinical research to study food. There are just so many barriers. I think CMG for the first time at a personal level was telling me, like, what do I need to do today that would help me have a better outcome years from now? And also—that's the disease perspective, so you asked about disease—and then from a wellness perspective, there's a lot of benefits. Like the fact that I have higher energy. The fact that I am probably healthier, metabolically healthier. So I'm more resistant to disease. Obviously COVID being a big issue. So I think there's a lot of benefits in thinking, both from how can I address the underlying factors that lead to disease and then also on a day to day basis, how does that make me feel better?Harry Glorikian: Yeah, so so for those you know, people listening, what's the benefit of keeping your glucose level flat and steady? I mean, I do my best to do that, but you know, I'm not sure that everybody fully appreciates what that does.Maz Brumand: Yeah, I'll talk about it from the wellness perspective. When you have a glucose spike, your body produces insulin and it crashes that back down. And when you get back down, that's the afternoon lull where you feel low energy. That's our lethargic brain fog. So just from a wellness perspective, just from, you know, how do I want to live my life perspective, managing these spikes allows you to feel better during the day, and that's a pretty easily, like, you'll feel that. That's from the energy level, also from brain fog. You know how in the afternoon, you might feel like your brain is not working?Harry Glorikian: Yes, I remember how it used to be.Maz Brumand: Me too, I used to think that afternoon like dosing or feeling tired was normal. Until now, it's like now, why do people take naps in the afternoon? I don't even get it anymore. But you know, joking aside, I think there is a huge impact on energy levels and your mental fog. And then obviously long term leads to insulin insensitivity, which leads to all sorts of problems, chronic problems.Harry Glorikian: Yeah. So. On the website, you know, you guys talk about hardware, software and then this very interesting word called insight. So I want to sort of focus on the insights part of it. What kinds of analysis or advice do you offer members about eating or exercise? And if you can describe the scoring system in the in the app, the I think it's called the zone score and the day score, right? So just if you could help me understand that, that would be good.Maz Brumand: Yeah. Well, you know, one of the things one of the early decisions we made was really focus on creating content and education. So we publish hundreds of articles a year about metabolic health and how different things affect you, and some of them are really deep and well researched. And it's scientifically based. So we put a lot of energy into creating content that will help explain the science and explain the physiology. So there's a lot of content that is available on our blog that's available in our app. And so that's a primary focus for us. One of our objective is actually to make metabolic health into the zeitgeist. And if you go on Google, search that you'll find Levels is one of the top hits as explaining what all that is. So there's a huge philosophy within our company that we want to be science based. We want to help people understand what metabolic health is and how they can affect it. So that's the core philosophy. The second question you asked is around what is Insight. So you want to know, for example, if your glucose spiked right and you haven't logged anything, we ask the user, Hey, did something happen? And that's a teaching moment where they go on and put in, "I ate oats for breakfast," Or something like that's a teaching moment.Harry Glorikian: And then having content that explains that is when you have that aha moment. Or let's say you ate something one day that affected you. Nothing. Fine. And then the next day, it's a crazy response. We give the ability for people to compare. So imagine one of the things is the order in which you eat your food actually matters, which is actually really mind blowing concept, meaning I can enjoy the same thing. I just have to change the order. For example, if you eat naked carbs at the beginning of your meal versus if you're having protein, fats and fiber and then eating the carbs later, glucose response will be different. So helping people compare different instances or behaviors is another insight. And for example, you could also do, easier, you could say, like I ate dinner, sat on the couch, watch TV, or I ate dinner and took my dog for a walk for 10 minutes. Not even something strenuous. And you'll see the response. So these are moments that it creates these aha moments or insights that will help you change your behavior.Harry Glorikian: Does the app actually, you know, other than showing the spike, does it sort of make it digestible for someone? I've not played with it, so that's why I'm asking. Does it put it into, you know, human speak or some way to communicate with someone to let them know that these are things they they should be paying attention to?Maz Brumand: Yeah, I think the short answer is yes and no. Yes, in the sense that we do it today and we're planning to make it better. No. Are we reached the end goal to make the perfect app? Not yet. We're in that journey and we're constantly innovating and creating new experiences and new ways to help people understand their behavior. But I'll give you an example. If you, for example, see a spike after a workout...What happens when you do strenuous workout, your body produces glucose to power you, and so you'll see a spike, but that spike is not the same as if you ate a donut. And so we will show content to people that say, Hey, did you know that this is a spike and we're not going to hold this against you? For example. We'll take it out of your score because it's generated based on good behavior, which is exercise, versus not so good behavior which is eating a donut.Harry Glorikian: Right, right, right. And there's a difference between a spike that comes up and down, which is normal versus one that stays up for a long period of time.Maz Brumand: Yeah. The area under the curve is important now. I think another angle we haven't talked about yet is research. I think we know a lot, but real time CGM in health and wellness, at least in the wellness side, is relatively young. So there is a lot of work to be done to actually understand at a deep level all these questions that we have and you have on the customer will have. So there's a lot to do there, which we could talk about separately.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, I actually, I mean, I think about all the different companies in this space and I think like you guys are running probably one of the largest, sort of, I don't want to call it a clinical trial, but for a better word, right, on actually a healthy population looking at this space. So the data is going to be hugely valuable to   drive, you know, next level of how to communicate and what to communicate to each person.Maz Brumand: Yeah. And also, you know, we take actually research pretty seriously and science pretty seriously. If you look at the list of our advisors, we have some of the most thoughtful people in the world being on this journey with us. People like Dr. Lustig wrote the book Metabolical. Or Dr. Ben Bikman that wrote Why We Get Sick. Or Dr. David Sinclair, that wrote Lifespan. So we have a lot of serious people that are involved with us trying to further science, and we also have a lot of research projects going on with some of these folks plus other folks to answer some of these questions.[musical interlude]Harry Glorikian: Let's pause the conversation for a minute to talk about one small but important thing you can do, to help keep the podcast going. And that's leave a rating and a review for the show on Apple Podcasts.All you have to do is open the Apple Podcasts app on your smartphone, search for The Harry Glorikian Show, and scroll down to the Ratings & Reviews section. Tap the stars to rate the show, and then tap the link that says Write a Review to leave your comments. It'll only take a minute, but you'll be doing a lot to help other listeners discover the show.And one more thing. If you like the interviews we do here on the show I know you'll like my new book, The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer.It's a friendly and accessible tour of all the ways today's information technologies are helping us diagnose diseases faster, treat them more precisely, and create personalized diet and exercise programs to prevent them in the first place.The book is now available in print and ebook formats. Just go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble and search for The Future You by Harry Glorikian.And now, back to the show.[musical interlude]Maz Brumand: How do you guys—there's a few different companies out there that are doing this. How do you guys differentiate yourselves from these different players that are out there?Maz Brumand: Yeah, it's a good question. There is a couple of things. I think the consumer angle of this space metabolic health has, for the most part for a long time been ignored. A lot of people are creating products for payers, and kind of disease. And so we put on the hat and say, Look, who's the best person to manage or care about their health and take actions that improve their health? It's the consumer. So our whole approach is consumer-centric, including the consumer in the middle and creating value for them, building trust for them and helping them in their metabolic health journey. So I think that's differentiated in the sense that all of our decisions are ultimately driven by that mission. I think the second thing is that we are very much science based and research based. So if you look at how we think about these things and read our content, it's very much ground level up thinking about at the cell level what's happening. And we also haven't narrowed it to a specific disease, right? We don't call it diabetes management program, which we can't anyways because we're in the wellness space. But even if it could, we wouldn't. And so because we're looking at a much more broad metabolic health. How can we make sure that your cells are healthy and using energy and producing energy in a way that will prevent both the disease states, hopefully, one day, but also the wellness space. So really marrying this short term like I want to feel better, I want to look better. I want to have more energy. I will spend more time with my kids. I want to have high fertility. Whatever it is like that is just as important than trying to tackle disease through payers. So I think going from this broader angle is also something that's unique.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, I'm a firm believer that everything is moving towards keeping people healthier as opposed to just treating them when they're sick, it's going to be much more profitable. But which brings me sort of: the website talks about customers as members, right, so I'm assuming the business model is around subscription. So can you explain sort of how that works, that subscription program and what features are included?Maz Brumand: Yeah. So we think of it as a membership. To us membership means something different. We see as the health journey as a long term thing, like managing your health and improving your health is not a one time transaction. It's also a two way conversation between us and our members, meaning we want to engage with our members. We want to hear from them. We want to them to help us improve the product, but also create a community. So it's much more than just transactional. I'm selling you a single product and or a subscription. It's more about like, how can we create this long term relationship that's based on value creation for the member and building trust for the member for the long term so we can continuously drive value for them? And that continuous value creation trust and two way relationship is the basis of why we call it a membership because it will help inform our business vision and product decisions design decisions in a different way. When you think about this as a two way relationship over the long term.Harry Glorikian: So just talking about business models, I mean, you know, people always ask me, you know, Harry, all these technologies are great, but they're usually pretty expensive, right? Depending on where they start. And then, you know, obviously, you know, these things come down over time is, you know, how do you see this? I know, you know, the group is starting with, which is usually the higher price. And how do you see this coming down for a much broader audience over time?Maz Brumand: Yeah, it's a good question. I think the technology, obviously in the wellness space is relatively new, right? And so any new technology is going to be higher priced. So I think, as CGM and sort of all the technologies become more mainstream, the concept of not just CGMs but bio-observability, becomes more mainstream and it becomes a consumer thing, it will help drive down costs. And ultimately, I think there's two questions to be asked. One is, is the product and service providing more value than it's taking in in terms of cost and price? That's question number one that we have to answer regardless of what the price is. When Tesla came out for a subset of their customers, it was a $120,000 car but it created more value in their eyes than the price tag. So I think that has to be important and true. And so that's question number one. The second question is affordability, right? No matter how much value creating, if it costs $10,000 to get this membership per month, know nobody's going to be able to afford it, except a few. So you have to solve both problems, the value problem and the cost problem. And the cost problem is getting more efficient in terms of creating products and services, using technologies that become more mature and consumer friendly so their prices go down.Maz Brumand: And one of the things in our membership, actually, I should have probably clarified, is, we will not mark up the hardware and services that we provide from third parties. And so we will try to do it at close as costs as we can. There may be a small difference just because prices go up and down and there may be volatility cost. But our problem is is that we will provide these products and services at cost to our members so that we have no incentive financial incentive to sell you more stuff up, sell you more stuff. Right. When I say you should buy another CGM, we don't make any money on that. And so therefore, when we say you should get another CGM, you want that to be truly aligned incentive with our members. Or when we say you should go get x y z down the line, that's all possible cost for us. And really, what we're focusing on is the membership fee, which is an annual number that's detached from your level of consumption.Harry Glorikian: And yeah, and I think just for to so that people understand is, you know, you guys don't develop the CGM hardware, you know, the part that sticks into your arm, right? My understanding is that you ship, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's a Freestyle Libra CGM from Abbott, if I'm correct. Okay.Maz Brumand: Yeah. So exactly. So we use third party products and services like the CGM, because that's the sensor that's been developed. Many, many years and a lot of work has gone into it. So we'll take that technology and then our experience and software and insights and scoring will leverage the hardware to help people make decisions about their behavior by closing them.Harry Glorikian: Now, at the same time, I think, again correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you guys are still in beta, getting ready to launch. And when do you guys think, I mean, I know like, well, the last thing I got to see on your website was like, you've got 85,000 people signed up, right? And, you know, I don't know if that number has changed. So I don't know if you have a a newer number for me, but I'm assuming you're going to try and ship that, get this out sometime this year.Maz Brumand: Yeah, I think the number is, I think upwards of 150,000. And the answer is yes, we want to ship it. But one of the decisions we made consciously is we want it to ship it in a way that that makes sense. And that needs a number of things. As you know, one of the strengths of start ups is to be able to iterate and learn fast, to be able to talk to their customers and learn from them. Under a beta, I think that enables you, without having huge volumes of people and problems to deal with, to innovate fast. So you can actually, in the end, get to the product that will really help people or create value for people faster. So that's kind of the thesis of why data. And when we plan to release beta is going to be sometime this year, hopefully sooner than later. Hopefully in Q2, but it all will be predicated on, Do we feel like we're ready to provide that experience?Harry Glorikian: Well, yeah. I mean, if you've got 150,00o people and I think I read on, you've probably have changed this. But again, I want to say it was like, you know, two thousand kits a month. I mean, obviously, the company's got to ramp itself to be able to meet, you know, get the 150,000 out to people as quickly as it can.Maz Brumand: Yeah, exactly.Harry Glorikian: So is there a. I don't know, longer term play that you're thinking about, at Levels? I mean, beyond CGM, right? Beyond the, is that just the tip of the spear? Do you want to integrate more types of health data and apps in so that you can give more holistic advice?Maz Brumand: Well, I think, you know, the North Star is bio observability, right? CGM is just one. But what's happening in my body based on my behavior? And can I show that to the user in a way that will help them change behavior that ultimately will lead to better outcomes for them and short term make them feel better on a day-to-day basis. So I think that's the North Star. Obviously, glucose CGMs are available, so we're using them. But that's the North Star. And if you think about, if you take that to its conclusion, like every action that we have affects a lot of things in our body, whether it's generating stress like the cortisol response or generating other reactions in the body. So I think the long term vision is, can we help close this loop based on our behaviors and what's happening at the molecular level in our body? So that's kind of like closing the feedback. So getting the assessment to the user and then also helping them now that they've got the insight and they see what needs to be done, help them with the products and services that will help them achieve that goal of of improved health.Maz Brumand: So let me, I'm going to pick on your like, you've been at Apple, and now you're doing levels and you've been doing this for a while, like, your personal vision of of possibilities here. Like, can you imagine a time where everybody with a smartphone or a smartwatch is sort of getting daily feedback from their devices on how they can optimize nutrition, exercise, sleep for maximum health?Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I think that's the vision, right? I mean, the consumerization of health. I think the stuff that Apple took to put the data and make their data available to the user and allow people to build on top is, I think, the revolution in personal health. And I think, you know, the market dynamics will drive innovation in many different ways. I mean, Levels is just an example. Levels wouldn't not have existed if this consumerization foundation wasn't set up by companies like Apple. At least that's what I believe. So I think the short answer is yes. I think by putting the tools in place and creating a business environment for people to innovate and provide services to consumers, I think the market will eventually figure out how to help people live healthier lives. Whether it's in this form or not, meaning whether it's a watch on your wrist or a CGM in your skin or whatever, it's hard to say, you know, 20 years from now, but I think the end conclusion is going to be that people are going to know based on their individual physiology, how to optimize their health. And I hope my hope personally is to not focus on just disease, but the wellness leading up to that because. There is a lot to do in that space to make sure people are living their fullest lives and happiest lives.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, I find it fascinating, right, that Apple has basically created this ecosystem where they're not necessarily profiting off of the health and wellness space and the way that you would think, being charged for it, but that they've created an ecosystem that everybody says, I have to have these devices and interfaces that that makes them almost core to how this is all rolling out.Maz Brumand: Now, because I think it's not a zero sum game, and if you change your mentality from how can I make the most amount of money to consumer-centric? Like, actually help consumers, like what does that look like? It no longer becomes a zero sum game.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, but, you know, if you think about it, though, like, you know, I've been in the health world for....Everything we make is very purpose built, right? And there's a reimbursement or something that's attached to it. Apple is saying, "Listen, I'm going to create an ecosystem, I'm going to create a platform. You can, you know, use an API to get information in and out, right? And I'm going to make it easy for you to sort of do monitoring and apps and everything else. You just need to buy my devices, ad I'm fairly happy. I don't need to make money on the purpose built product like we do, like we have in health care historically." So it's a different way to make money, but in the same ecosystem, which is fascinating.Maz Brumand: Yeah, yeah, completely. And people that build on top obviously can monetize that in a way. But yeah, I think just idea of being a platform is just a different model. Right. It's not about creating a purpose built product for revenue. It's a platform where other people can build on top and make revenue, but also strengthens your own business too. It's not completely for non profit. There is a business strategy there. But the business strategy is much more aligned with consumer interest and consumer value creation than it is this zero sum game, which unfortunately our health care system has devolved into, with the disintermediation that we've seen with the buyer being different than the end consumer. So when you're actually designing a product, natural incentives will make it so that you're designing it for the buyer, not the consumer. So you end up creating a product and optimizing features for the buyer that has certain interests. But then you expect the end user, which is a different person, to want to use it, and that's how you end up with kludgy products that maybe you don't want to use. Right? So nobody loves using a product that was created for an insurance company as a consumer. So I think this changes that dynamic completely.Harry Glorikian: Oh yeah, I mean, I think, you know, had you looked pre iPhone in apps and so forth, I mean, this platform to lay all these other things on top of just, you know, again, they were either purpose built or they didn't exist. So this completely creates a brand new ecosystem for opportunities like Levels and other technologies like that.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, definitely. And I think, you know, Apple's done a lot of great things, which I'm really proud to be part of and really have deep respect for for the company and leadership. You know, the work on research is quite groundbreaking, starting the virtual research, for example, at the scale that it did for the Apple Heart study and just just change the thinking about research. And you know, obviously you continue with the Research app and collaborating with researchers and then creating the platform ResearchKit for other people to research. It just completely changed the conversation. And I think, you know, it's I have tremendous respect for the impact that Apple has had in this space and will continue to.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, you know, the conversation I always have with people is, you know, when we were working on a product we already knew like we were going to go for regulatory approval. Everything we were doing, like there was no time to sort of play like you had to have it sort of baked of where you were going to go from day one. Whereas a lot of these companies that are in the wellness space, let's say Apple, you get a chance to sort of get feedback, adjust, get feedback, adjust. And then when you if you want to step over the regulatory hurdle, you have a lot of information now to sort of make that play. Historically, the playing was not necessarily easy to do. I mean, getting this data, if you think about, you know, billions of users, that's a lot of data that you get to sort of look at and screen and decide what you're going to do next before you do it.Maz Brumand: Yeah, you know, I think it's not that linear within Apple because very strong privacy stance. So it's not like you can just grab the data and do whatever you want with it. But I think your general concept is true, right? If you take the idea of being startups and think about like, OK, I'm going to iterate, I'm going to try a bunch of stuff, I'm going to iterate and then I'm going to come up with the product and I'm going to go build that right hypothesis test results building. You couldn't historically do that enough. Right? Because you just do what? It's locked, right? It's now locked. You cannot make a change. So even if you found outk, let's say you did that. You created a product and then things changed like, OK, I can't. Yeah, yeah, it's like, sorry guys, I know you really want that feature, but it's not going to happen. I do agree that it's just changing the conversation and then thinking has been fantastic. And, you know, it's also really important to say there is a reason why the regulatory space exists and the fact that we do need protections that the FDA and others put into place. So it doesn't take anything away from that. It's the question is like how do we create other ways to allow innovation to happen while keeping people safe? And in the right things?Harry Glorikian: Oh, yeah, I mean, I believe me, I love the FDA. Don't don't misunderstand me, I think they they definitely like have to play their role, right? But on the other hand, I love the fact that you can actually interact with someone, get data, identify signals, be able to sort of iterate on that. And then when you, you know, when you find something really worth sort of moving on that may be beyond wellness, that that opportunity has now opened itself up assuming, you know, privacy and everything else is is kept, you know, under control. But I think the advances that have been made say in the last five years have been unbelievable. You know, some of these things that we're talking about five years ago were really not available. And now, you know, I can manage myself fairly remotely and get a longitudinal view that I can share with my physician that helps him understand my body better.Maz Brumand: Yeah, yeah. I couldn't agree more. I think this idea that you would have these episodic visits with your doctor and they will not be informed from any of the past interactions or data, it's just we'll look back on this in 10 or 20 years and think, Wow, that was a huge influence on health, where every interaction is like a surprise to the doctor because there's nothing informing them other than a paper thing that you filled out, which nobody reads, and they've got to make decisions about your health.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, I think about these things like, you know, I walk in, I give them a longitudinal view of my, you know, whatever I've been tracking. And the human brain is amazing at looking at a pattern and seeing something that's out of line. And if it looks normal, they just go, Hey, that looks great and move on.Harry Glorikian: So we know, you know, obviously you're being in this space for a long time. You'll know a lot of the research is also done in, you know, in perfect situations. And it's done on a cohort that's probably not representative of the entire world. So, yeah, I think it's both things. I think one is if it's not out of the normal, which is probably a large standard deviation, it gets passed through. And then also, if we just don't know because we didn't have the tools to research the way that we're doing research today. And this is my point about Apple changing, also thinking about research not being, you know, 30 people in the northeast that we studied. And then we came up with the guideline for the entire world. It doesn't work that way. So I think, yeah, I think there is a lot. I think we're in the early innings of really changing health and health care, not just Levels, but everybody. I think the big players, us, the health care systems, the payers, and it's pretty exciting time. And you know, you asked me the question of why did I leave Apple to come do this? It is because there's just so much interesting stuff going on, and it is the time to actually make those leaps in collaboration with people like Apple and then hopefully one day also with the payers and the provider.Harry Glorikian: Yeah. No, and I think their world is changing, too, just because now we're, you know, moving more towards paying for outcomes as opposed to, you know, I pay you for everything that you do. So. Anything else that I didn't ask you that is your burning to to tell us about Levels or do you think we covered it?Maz Brumand: I think I think you covered most of it. I think there's just so many things to talk about in this space that we could probably go on forever if you want.Harry Glorikian: Yeah, no, I've been I've been trying to convince people that that are interested in health, wellness, energy, optimal, you know, optimum performance that having a CGM and getting a good feel for. What's the right food, when to have it? What happens measuring it, et cetera? You know, and being able to give them the right feedback, being able to give them maybe an alternative food that so they don't have to give up something necessarily that they really like. Those are all important feedback loops to give them.Maz Brumand: Yeah. And you know, you bring up a really good point because a lot of people think if they want to take control of their health, whether they lose weight or want to feel better, they have to make these massive changes. They've got to stop eating all the foods that they like. They've got to go to the gym, you know, two hours a day. And my personal CGM experience showed me the opposite. There was just a few tweaks I needed to make to change the outcomes completely. And, you know, and the reason I was doing the things I was doing wasn't because I was like, Hey, that's my cheat, and I really want to enjoy that. All this stuff was I didn't even care about it. Like, I really didn't think that oats is so much better than eating eggs in the morning. Like that was not but science. I mean, the best available science of the time was that eggs are bad due to cholesterol and oats are heart healthy. And so so a lot of it is also not just figuring out based on real data that's personalized to you, like one of those small changes that I can make that will completely change my life. I mean, that's what's magical about this technology. It's not somebody writing a hypothesis piece about the general population that's know makes no sense with your lifestyle, but also but instead figuring out okay, based on you, your physiology and your lifestyle. How can I? I can help, you know?Harry Glorikian: Yeah, I mean, my new book just came out on, you know, how to incorporate technology into your life. And I always tell people, I'm like, Pick one. Like your scale. If you see the if you see the line going in the wrong direction, maybe it's time to course correct, right? Or, you know, a wireless blood pressure cuff, right? I mean, blood pressure is one of those things that sneaks up on most people. They don't see it until it's too much of a problem. Well, if you notice that it's moving in the wrong direction, right? Maybe you'll lose some weight. Maybe you won't add as much salt. It's these aren't huge changes because you're trying to do it early enough that you affect where the line is going. And so a CGM is the same thing in a sense. And if you have enough of these in your arsenal over time, I think you can do a pretty good job of managing, at least extending. That you know how healthy you'll be for how long.Maz Brumand: Yeah. You know, we think about this in a... I'll explain how we think about this. So we kind of look at certain metrics or bio metrics or information from your body. You can think about it. There's a law. There are high frequency, and give you feedback. Let's just call them feedback metrics for a second. Right, these are things that, for example, my glucose, when I see that move in real time high frequency, I can change my behavior. And these are all high frequency, completely correlated to your behavior on short-term outcomes. And then there are other metrics that are much lower frequency, meaning you don't take them all the time but are really representative of your of your health, right? Which is, for example, is my A1C below or above a certain amount, is my blood pressure below or a certain amount, is my waist circumference below a certain amount. That really shows you the outcome. And then the question is how can I influence behavior by measuring these feedback metrics today and based on the science and correlations that we know leads to better target metrics or health metrics in the future? And so that's kind of the framework where help affect behavior today with high frequency metrics to drive better outcomes with lower frequency, more outcome driven metrics in the future.Maz Brumand: Yeah, no. And I totally agree, and it really is going to come down to the data that you're putting in the way the software does its analytics and then communicates back with the individual because some of this has to be put into normal speak as opposed to sometimes when you talk to a physician. They're using acronyms and a language that most people can't necessarily easily understand.Maz Brumand: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And I think there are three problems probably to solve to really get to mass market. I think one is the hardware-software, making it the software more intuitive and more insightful. The hardware cheaper, less intrusive, so on and so forth. I think the second problem is the research problem, right? How can we actually find understand these real time metrics better and its correlation to long term metrics? And what are the best ways to influence behavior? So there's a big research component there, given that a lot of these things are new. And then the third one is the social aspect of it, to make sure that people understand it, providers understand it, payers understand it. So how can the ecosystem adopt this new way of thinking and new way of affecting health and wellness? So I think you have to have all those three to really make a big impact at the much larger scale than earlier.Harry Glorikian: Yep. No, couldn't agree more. It was great having you on the show. I wish you and the rest of the Levels team good luck in this upcoming launch.

In his latest book “Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine,” he focuses on how real food can reverse chronic disease and promote longevity. He also challenges the current healthcare paradigm and the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. “I wrote Metabolical to basically explain what is healthy,” Dr. Lustig says. “And based on the empiric data, based on the science, based on the pathologies that I describe in the book that belie chronic disease, I distilled all of the information down to six words – two precepts, six words: ‘Protect the liver, feed the gut.'”These are the eight cell pathologies that underlie all chronic disease, according to Dr. Lustig:glycationoxidative stressmitochondrial dysfunctioninsulin resistancemembrane instabilityinflammationepigeneticsautophagy"[When] you look at the entire molecular mechanism of every single one of those eight subcellular pathologies, none of them have a medicine," he says. "None of them are druggable. They're all foodable." His book also documents how processed food has impacted human health, the economy, and the environment over the past 50 years. “It's not about obesity, it never was,” Dr. Lustig says. “The key to the kingdom is that it is not about obesity, it is about metabolic dysfunction and anyone can get it, and that's what makes it a public health crisis, because obesity is a result of the problem, not the cause.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

                                                                            Dr Robert Lustig has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition. He speaks with us abut why you should "speak to the ventriloquist and not the dummy", how "pleasure is not happiness", how "90% of the work is done in 10% of the time" and more. Hosted by Duff Watkins. About Robert Lustig Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases.   In his New York Times bestselling book Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processes Food, Obesity, and Disease, Robert documents both the science and the politics that have led to the current pandemic of obesity and chronic disease. In the Fat Chance Cookbook (available for free), Robert provides practical examples for applying healthy eating principles with recipes by Cindy Gershen.   Robert has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition, exposing some of the leading myths that underlie the current pandemic of diet-related disease. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today's epidemics of addiction and depression. Yet by focusing on real food, we can beat the odds against sugar, processed food, obesity, and disease. His latest book Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations.

Dr. William Hang has committed his career to advancing a paradigm of thinking in orthodontics that rejects traditional techniques! His Face Focused® treatment techniques are designed to develop the jaws forward, work toward proper facial balance, create pleasing facial appearances, protect and/or expand the airway, and produce broad smiles that are complete to the corners of the mouth. When it comes to orthodontics, Dr. Hang does not believe that one treatment can fit every patient. Over the years, experience has taught him that the easier way to treat is not always the best way to treat. His goals are to educate as many patients, parents, and professionals about the benefits of the Face Focused® Philosophy as possible, and to continue to develop treatments based on Face Focused® principles for patients of all ages. He strives to teach these methods to other dentists and orthodontists worldwide through seminars, workshops, and mini-residencies.Find Dr. Hang at-https://facefocused.com/Special love to-Patrick McKeown and his amazing work.Metabolical by Robert LustigFinding Connar Deegan- AAMPD

Who benefits from making Americans fat, tired, and sick? Big food and big pharma that's who. Grocery stores are brimming with ultra-processed, sugar-laden alternatives to real food, and doctors benefit monetarily from dolling out pharmaceuticals that only treat symptoms, not illnesses. To determine what individuals can do to live a healthy life and make more nutritious food choices, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two doctors who have researched the effects of processed foods and sugar consumption. Dr. Robert Lustig uses six simple words as a golden rule when it comes to nutrition and health. He dispels common food myths and chronic diseases as detailed in his book, Metabolical. And, Dr. Robert Barrett discusses the dark sides of social media, smartphone use, and the real drug problem in the U.S., all from his latest book, Hardwired.

In September of 2021, Dr. Robert Lustig participated in a Book Club with the Levels Community, where he discussed his latest book – Metabolical. For the session, Dr. Casey Means, Co-founder & Chief Medical Officer of Levels hosted an interview with Dr. Lustig, which was then followed by a Q&A with the Levels Community. Dr. Lustig is an Advisor to Levels, author of six books, including Fat Chance, Hacking of the American Mind, and Metabolical. Additionally, he's Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco.

What a fantastic opportunity to catch up with perhaps the world's leading anti-sugar crusader, Dr. Robert Lustig. A pediatric endocrinologist and professor emeritus at UC San Francisco, Dr. Lustig is also the bestselling author of groundbreaking books like Fat Chance, The Hacking Of The American Mind, and the 2021 release titled, Metabolical.  This man is fighting a valiant and high stakes battle against the mighty opponents of industrialized food, tainted science, and poor government regulation. What's refreshing about Dr. Lustig is that he does not have an angle in the game—he is simply reporting the facts and phenomenons that have led us down the disastrous path to becoming the fattest, sickest developed nation in the history of the planet.  Dr. Lustig also offers compelling solutions, and it starts with taking responsibility for your own health, voting with your pocketbook (because there is always going to be more money than votes, so the money always wins). It also may be important to consider this processed food problem with the seriousness and urgency as climate change, for example. We also talk about how to choose foods that will protect your liver and nourish your gut, as Dr. Lustig has a gift for simplifying the often frustrating challenge of eating food that helps protect against disease while also maintaining a healthy body weight. There's also some fascinating scientific info featured in this episode, as we talk about the importance of optimizing our leptin signaling and how leptin dysregulation affects our appetite and weight.  Enjoy this episode with the great Dr. Lustig and don't forget to check out the B.rad Breather episode about his book, The Hacking Of The American Mind. TIMESTAMPS: Dr. Lustig's bottom line is that processed food is killing us. [01:27] Leptin is the preeminent satiety, fat storage and reproductive hormone. [03:40] When Dr. Lustig went to medical school, what we now know about nutrition, was not taught. [06:02] Some of Dr. Lustig first research was with normal weight kids who got obese after treatment for a tumor. [09:32] Leptin was discovered in 1994 and found to be very involved in how our brain acknowledges hunger. [11:39] The kids in the study became more active and lost weight when they lowered their insulin. [13:43] Can we blame the profit seeking enterprises instead of the victim? The cause is high insulin. [17:31] How do we get high insulin? The modern Western diet introduced high fructose corn syrup in the 70s. [19:06] Obesity is biochemical rather than behavioral. [22:16] Healthy as a definition consists of six words: protect the liver. Feed the gut. [28:06] When you take in a lot of sugar, you are flooding the liver with fructose. [31:30] The gut needs fiber. [34:16] It takes about 20 minutes for the message to get from your intestine to the brain to say, “I'm satiated.” That's why we say wait 20 minutes before your second helping. [37:43] Transcending the diet wars, the basic premise is to eat real food. [40:38] There is a bit of a problem with keto. Only the truly committed can manage a ketogenic diet for any length of time. There is also a problem with veganism. A vegan diet should be unprocessed vegan. [42:44] Depending on your biochemistry, you can find the right diet. Unify the force against processed foods is the starting point. [45:28] The industrial seed oils have Omega 6 and are pro-inflammatory and that drives insulin resistance. We also need Omega 3. [48:11] Is sugar food? What is the definition of food? Sugar inhibits normal growth. [51:41] There are eight sub-cellular pathologies that drive all chronic disease. [59:00] If we figure out the diet thing, we can potentially be playing tennis at age 110. How can we escape the clutches of the addiction to the wrong food?

It seems as if in a post-pandemic world, there is a thirst for information about wellness and self-care – totally makes sense. How healthy we and our children are is taking up a lot of headspace, and people are desperate for a support buoy as they navigate the choppy waters of a new “new normal.” Dr. Robert Lustig hopes to do that by gifting information to help us stay one step ahead of an industry that overcomplicates what “healthy” is. He's objectively on the cutting edge of medicine and science – and he's moving medicinal mountains. He's discovered one underlying truth: medicine can't cure what nutrition can. He uses this science to chronicle the breakdown of our current healthcare paradigm, which has crumbled under the influence of big food, big pharma, and big government. Weaving together the interconnected strands of nutrition, disease, medicine, environment, and society, “https://robertlustig.com/metabolical/ (Metabolical)” provides a scientific basis for a series of iconoclastic revelations.

About Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.You can’t solve a problem if you don’t know what the problem is. One of Lustig’s singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to “connect the dots” for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the “real story of food” and “the story of real food.” Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itselfYou can diagnose your own biochemical profile Chronic diseases are not "druggable," but they are "foodable" Processed food isn’t just toxic, it’s addictiveThe war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same sideBig Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other sideMaking the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains what’s needed to fix all three. This is a public episode.

About Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.You can’t solve a problem if you don’t know what the problem is. One of Lustig’s singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to “connect the dots” for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the “real story of food” and “the story of real food.” Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itselfYou can diagnose your own biochemical profile Chronic diseases are not "druggable," but they are "foodable" Processed food isn’t just toxic, it’s addictiveThe war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same sideBig Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other sideMaking the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains what’s needed to fix all three This is a public episode.

Dr. Robert Lustig has been warning us all about the hazards of sugar since 2009, when his YouTube lecture “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” went viral. As a pediatric neuroendocrinologist, he spent much of his career treating the causes of obesity in children. Now, he turns his impressive expertise to helping adults as well as children. […]

In today's episode I talk with the ONE and ONLY, Dr. Robert Lustig! He talks about his new book, "Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine," where he addresses nutrition, food science, and global health, and explains how by focusing on real food we can reverse chronic disease and promote longevity. Describing the eight pathologies within the cell that belie all chronic disease, Dr. Lustig illustrates how they are not “druggable” but rather “foodable” (i.e. medication can't cure what nutrition can) by following two basic principles: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He uses this science to chronicle the breakdown in our current healthcare paradigm, which has succumbed to influence from Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. In the special chapter “Food in the Time of Corona,” Dr. Lustig addresses the way “pre-existing conditions” (i.e. diet-induced chronic diseases) make us vulnerable to succumbing to acute infectious diseases like COVID-19. He also argues that the Nutrition Facts label hides information from the consumer by omitting what's been done to the food, which is more important than what's in the food. Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry. Dr. Lustig graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He also received his Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) degree at University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 2013. He is the author of the popular books Fat Chance(2012), The Hacking of the American Mind (2017), and his new book Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine, being released in May 2021.
