Any nation that has acquired our habits of eating highly-processed foods, rich in refined carbohydrates, fructose, and inflammatory fats, ends up metabolically unhealthy. Metabolic health is much more than just maintaining a healthy weight. It’s the sum of our cardiovascular, mitochondrial, liver, gut, and hormone function—and a poor diet impacts all of these systems for the worse.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Today, I’m excited to talk to my friend and a physician who is an inspiration to me, Dr. Robert Lustig, all about fixing our metabolic health. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He’s the Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is also one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry, in part through his game-changing books. His latest work is <em>Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine</em>.</p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Mitopure, Rupa Health, and FOND Bone Broth.</p><br><p>Get 10% off Mitopure at <a href="http://timelinenutrition.com/drhyman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">timelinenutrition.com/drhyman</a> when you use code DRHYMAN10 at checkout.</p><br><p>Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 20 labs.
