Modern medicine is facing a crisis — and Dr. Ankur Verma is sounding the alarm. In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Urban Kiernan sits down with Dr. Verma, who reveals why 95% of his patients show metabolic symptoms… and why questioning the system nearly got him ostracized by his own peers. This conversation exposes the cultural, political, and scientific forces shaping global nutrition — especially in India, where the debate around meat, health, and morality runs deep.

Together, they explore:

🔥 Why metabolic dysfunction is becoming the norm, not the exception

 🔥 How Dr. Verma’s medical peers reacted when he challenged entrenched beliefs

 🔥 The truth behind life expectancy in meat-eating vs. non-meat-eating regions

 🔥 The surprising micronutrient deficiencies common in people who avoid meat

 🔥 The “untouchable” caste controversy and the punishment for eating meat

 🔥 The Johnson & Johnson influence over nutrition messaging in India

 🔥 Why BMI is misleading — and often harmful for patient assessment

 🔥 Why no valid study shows meat causes or worsens kidney disease

 🔥 Why doctors give albumin injections… but still tell people not to eat meat

This episode isn’t about diet trends — it’s about truth, context, and understanding the real science behind human health.  If you’ve ever questioned mainstream nutrition dogma… this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Trained in emergency medicine from the George Washington University, Dr. Ankur is currently a Principal Consultant and Faculty of Emergency Medicine at the Max Super Specialty Hospital in New Delhi. He has a keen interest in Airways, Trauma, Academic EM, Resuscitation, and POCUS. Dr. Ankur conceived and coined the term #SATisfied airway and hopes to spread more awareness regarding the same. He has published many papers in national and international journals and is a PEER reviewer for numerous journals. He is a stern follower of FOAMED and urges his peers and residents to take up the newer “social” ways of staying up to date. He also holds the post of President, Society for Emergency Medicine, India – Delhi Chapter and is a member of the Trauma Special Interest Group of the International Federation of Emergency Medicine. He initiated the #EACH1SAVE1TM campaign where SEMI-Delhi members teach bystander CPR in the community.
