In this episode I talk with Dr Keith Runyan about the symptoms and how to reverse insulin resistance, which is a major contibutor to our suffering from metabolic illnesses like diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity and more.

We talk about the importance of diet and how it is crucial to monitor insulin levels, because your blood glucose level could be normal and yet you could still have insulin resistance.

Dr Runyan is himself a type 1 diabetic and tells me how he manages his condition through simple dietary changes which anyone can follow to improve their health.

The world is getting fatter, what are some of the steps we can take to reverse our own weight gain while still finding food enjoyable. Professor Jennie Brand-Miller – or GI Jennie, as she is known – is internationally recognised for her groundbreaking work that developed a way to measure the body’s absorption of carbohydrates, now commonly known as the ‘glycemic index’.

Dr Ifland draws parallels between the tobacco companies and food companies as to how they hook their customers by literally changing their physiology and their behaviours.

We know that the typical western diet is making people sick in the millions. It is contributing to obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease primarily because it is a diet laden with ultraprocessed foods, and is packed with sugar.

Today we hear leading nutrition researcher and author Prof Grant Schofield's views as to how this can be resolved from a government healthcare policy standpoint, but also what steps we as individuals can take in preventing ourselves becoming victims of metabolic disease.

Over 500 million people have diabetes in one form or another and this figure is expected to rise to over 750 million people in the next 20 years, so it is an enormous problem.

We find out why carbohydrates in modern diets are causing so many people to develop diabetes.

We hear the steps you should take to reverse diabetes. Find out how quickly patients can see remission of their diabetes.

I ask Dr Davies what role proteins and fats play in the diet of someone who has cut back on carbs to treat theor diabetes. And lots more.

The food we eat is of such fundamental importance not just to our physical health but to our mental health too, and at a time when the world is experiencing a mental health crisis I felt it important to speak with someone who is at the forefront of a growing area of medical research. Prof Felice Jacka – Author of Brain changer she is the professor of nutritional psychiatry and Co-Director of the Food & Mood Centre and founder and President of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research.

We define what nutritional psychiatry is and talk about her now famous Smiles trial in it depressed patients saw remarkable improvements in their mental health in only 12 weeks just from improving their diets.

We hear how processed foods affect the brain and our gut microbiome diversity in a negative way.

We learn just how much of the standard western diet is made up of processed foods and the percentage of illnesses these foods contribute towards.

Plus the trillions of dollars processed foods are costing in medical treatments globally.

In addition we find out exactly what foods you should be eating to optimise your mental and physical health.

As you know I talk to medical experts on a regular basis about diet, nutrition and exercise, today I speak with a doctor who is an obesity expert but he's also someone who has had his own obesity problem, having weighed 350lbs at one point.

He gives me his view on what is driving obesity today and how metabolic disease is being made worse by the official guidelines that are being laid out by bodies like the CDC, which Dr Tro believes do not follow the actual science.

Adhering to the scientific research on nutrition, metbolism and weightloss saw Dr Tro lose over 150 lbs and keep it off, his mission now is to spread the word about how to achieve a healthy weight.. and newsflash .. it doesnt involve counting calories.

We talk about the macronutrient breakdown that promotes weightloss, we explore the flaw in the calories in calories out model of weightloss.

We talk LDL cholesterol and the importance of getting the supoort of a good doctor who knows and understands nutrition.

This is such an eyeopening conversation with a man who has lived the obesity crisis as a patient and a doctor.
