Curious if the latest weight loss trends are just hype or if they actually work? Dive into the truth about metabolic health and what really makes a difference!

In today’s episode, I talk with Sami Inkinen, founder of Virta health, about how we can tackle metabolic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sami challenges the idea that medications like GLP-1 or surgeries are the answer. Instead, he stresses that proper nutrition is the real solution to reversing these conditions. 

 

Sami also shares how Virta health helps people improve their health without relying on strict self-discipline or extreme measures. The company offers free resources and works with employers to make it easier for people to get help.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Nutrition is the key to reversing conditions like obesity and diabetes.

 

  • Medications like GLP-1s and bariatric surgery may help in the short term but are not lasting solutions.

 

  • Proper nutrition is key to sustainable health and avoiding reliance on medications or surgeries.
