    Why Food Companies Want You to Stay Fat and Die (It Makes Them Money)

    What if sugar isn't a treat, but a poison we've been trained to crave? Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist who spent decades treating childhood obesity, argues that sugar is a chronic toxin and that the food industry has known it all along. In this episode of Decoded Genius, Robert explains why a calorie is not a calorie, how fructose damages the body in four distinct ways, and why the difference between pleasure and happiness may be the key to understanding addiction.

He reached a wide audience after his 2009 lecture "Sugar: The Bitter Truth," and has since become one of the most prominent public voices on the metabolic harms of sugar and ultra-processed food.

    Fasting Expert Explains How to Defeat Cancer (Full Interview)

    What if the cure for the world's most common diseases isn't a drug, but the absence of food? Dr. Alan Goldhamer has supervised more water-only fasts than anyone alive, and he argues that many of the chronic diseases we're told to manage for life can actually be reversed. In this episode of Decoded Genius, Alan explains why fasting is a biological adaptation rather than starvation, how the visceral fat around our organs quietly drives heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and what it really takes to break free from the foods engineered to keep us sick. ABOUT THE GUESTDr. Alan Goldhamer is the founder and director of TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, California, the world's largest facility specializing in medically supervised, water-only fasting. Over the past four decades he has overseen the fasting and care of more than 25,000 patients, and the Center has become a leading training site for physicians seeking certification in therapeutic fasting. He is co-author of The Pleasure Trap and Can Fasting Save Your Life?, author of The Health Promoting Cookbook, and a principal investigator on landmark studies of fasting and hypertension.
