Tasting Truth: Feeding Ourselves Healthy and Hacking Our Hardwired Brains with Dr. Robert Lustig & Dr. Robert Barrett Harvesting Happiness

    • Society & Culture

Who benefits from making Americans fat, tired, and sick? Big food
and big pharma that’s who. Grocery stores are brimming with
ultra-processed, sugar-laden alternatives to real food, and doctors
benefit monetarily from dolling out pharmaceuticals that only
treat symptoms, not illnesses. To determine what individuals can
do to live a healthy life and make more nutritious food choices,
Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with
two doctors who have researched the effects of processed foods
and sugar consumption. Dr. Robert Lustig uses six simple words
as a golden rule when it comes to nutrition and health. He dispels
common food myths and chronic diseases as detailed in his book,
Metabolical. And, Dr. Robert Barrett discusses the dark sides of
social media, smartphone use, and the real drug problem in the
U.S., all from his latest book, Hardwired.
