In this urgent and eye-opening episode, Dr. Robert Kiltz welcomes Dr. Jesús Vega—a Mexican physician, health coach, and passionate advocate for metabolic health—to share his personal and professional journey from burnout and prediabetes to radical healing and purpose.

Raised on tortillas and soda, trained in conventional medicine, and shaped by years in emergency care, Dr. Vega reveals:

• 🧠 Why most young people are unknowingly building arterial plaque

• 🥩 How quitting tortillas and embracing a meat-based diet reversed his insulin resistance

• 🩺 The flaws in standard medical education—and how he broke free from outdated nutrition dogma

• 📉 What early testing (calcium score, fasting insulin, CIMT) can reveal before symptoms strike

• 🎓 Why preventive medicine is the future—and how young doctors can lead by example

• 📱 How viral, simple messaging can save lives in underserved communities

• 💬 The emotional toll of denial, and the power of humility in healing

From EMT to educator, Dr. Vega’s story is a call to action for anyone who thinks youth equals immunity. His message: metabolic disease starts early—and it’s reversible if you act now.
