In today's episode I talk with the ONE and ONLY, Dr. Robert Lustig! He talks about his new book, "Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine," where he addresses nutrition, food science, and global health, and explains how by focusing on real food we can reverse chronic disease and promote longevity. Describing the eight pathologies within the cell that belie all chronic disease, Dr. Lustig illustrates how they are not “druggable” but rather “foodable” (i.e. medication can’t cure what nutrition can) by following two basic principles: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He uses this science to chronicle the breakdown in our current healthcare paradigm, which has succumbed to influence from Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. In the special chapter “Food in the Time of Corona,” Dr. Lustig addresses the way “pre-existing conditions” (i.e. diet-induced chronic diseases) make us vulnerable to succumbing to acute infectious diseases like COVID-19. He also argues that the Nutrition Facts label hides information from the consumer by omitting what’s been done to the food, which is more important than what’s in the food.

In today's episode I talk with Dr. Andrea Grayson about her battle with sugar addiction and she explains, "The 5 Pathways of Sugar Dependency." She also talks about some of the public health policies that got us where we are today with food and policies that would help get us out. Dr. Grayson works as a behavior change communications consultant and teaches about behavior change in the Masters of Public Health program in the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont. She discovered and finally admitted to her own carb addiction almost by accident, and in the two years it took her to heal from it, she created a framework that addresses The 5 Pathways of Sugar Dependency and put everything she learned into the course Breaking Free from Sugar.
