There are several different schools of thought behind obesity and
metabolic dysfunction, for example, the energy balance model or
“calories-in, calories-out” perspective that many people have felt
fooled by. While calories certainly are one piece, there is much
more to the puzzle of weight management and metabolic health, like
hormonal cascades and oxidative stress. My guest today is Dr.
Robert Lustig, an author and neuroendocrinologist with expertise in
metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He has dedicated his
retirement from clinical medicine to help fix the food supply in
any way he can, to reduce human suffering, and to promote a
collective vision of metabolic health: protect the liver, feed the
gut, support the brain.  In this episode we discuss: Is a
