  • 99 - "METABOLICAL: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine", Dr. Robert Lustig

    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.

    Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry. Dr. Lustig graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He also received his Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) degree at University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 2013. He is the author of the popular books Fat Chance(2012), The Hacking of the American Mind (2017), and his new book Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine, being released in May 2021. He is the Chief Science Officer of the non-profit Eat REAL, he is on the Advisory Board of the Center for Humane Technology and Simplex Health, and he is the Chief Medical Officer of BioLumen Technologies, Foogal, and Kalin Health.

  • 98 - The 5 Pathways of Sugar Dependency with Dr. Andrea Grayson, EdD, MA

    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.
