Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Dr. Gurpreet Padda is Board Certified in Anesthesia, Addiction, and Interventional Pain. For over 20 years, he has been using his expertise to help his patients regain their metabolic health. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Medical School and has an MBA from St. Louis University.

In their discussion, Drs. Padda and Hampton talk about the meaning of health and what percentage of Americans qualify as 'healthy,' why simply medicating diseases is insufficient, why carbohydrates and seed oils are so unhealthy and lead to metabolic disease, how to successfully walk a patient through the journey to metabolic health, the details as to why a pure vegetarian diet is not as healthy as many think, and why, contrary to popular belief, ruminant agriculture is better for the environment than mono cropping and plant agriculture.

Additionally, Dr. Padda shares a bit about the power of community for combating addiction, the necessity of considering the context in which a person is exposed to an addictive substance, processed food and sugar addiction, whether cannabis usage puts one at high risk of addiction, how to effectively and safely use drugs as a therapy for treating chronic pain, and the difficulty faced by any restaurant owner trying to serve foods that promote metabolic health.
