-
- Alternative Health
Robert Lustig, M.D.: “The fat in the organs, the fat in the liver, the fat in the muscles that you can't measure by standing on a scale—it's the fat you can't see that makes all the difference.”
Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist and New York Times bestselling author, joins mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss how to actually know if you're metabolically healthy, plus:
- What you need to know about nutrition labels
- Why obesity is a red herring when it comes to metabolic health
- The truth about alternative flours
- Why treating chronic diseases is not “draggable” but “foodable”
- Why you should always protect the liver & feed the gut
Referenced in the episode:
- Lustig's book, Metabolical.
- Christopher Newgard, Ph.D.'s research on branched-chain amino acids and insulin resistance.
