The Truth About Sugar Addiction And How It Affects Your Health

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, Paleovalley, and
Rupa Health.   Sugar lights up the addiction center in our
brains, just like heroin and cocaine. Yet many of us consume more
sugar than we are aware of because it’s lurking in so many foods
that we would never expect. The average person consumes 152 pounds
of it per year! Sugar is not just responsible for an increased
waistline but also impacts our metabolic health, immune systems,
mental health, and more.   In today’s episode, I talk with
Keegan Allen and Tom Hopper, Dr. Shebani Sethi Dalai, and Dr. Casey
Means about why sugar addiction is so detrimental to our health and
what we can do about it.   Keegan Allen is an American actor,
musician, photographer, and author. He’s known for his main role as
Toby Cavanaugh on the Freeform series Pretty Little Liars. Allen’s
passion in his younger years tended towards photography,
cinematography, and other roles behind the camera.   Tom
Hopper is an English actor. He has appeared as Sir Percival in
Merlin, Billy Bones in Black Sails, Dickon Tarly in Game of
Thrones, and Luther Hargreeves in Netflix’s new show The Umbrella
Academy.   Dr. Shebani Sethi Dalai is a double board-certified
physician in Obesity Medicine and Psychiatry. She is the Founding
Director of Stanford University’s Metabolic Psychiatry program and
Silicon Valley Metabolic Psychiatry, a new center in the San
Francisco Bay Area focused on optimizing brain health by
integrating low carb nutrition, comprehensive psychiatric care, and
treatment of obesity with associated metabolic disease.   Dr.
Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer
and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, an Associate
Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and
Prevention, and a Guest Lecturer at Stanford University. Dr. Means’
perspective has been recently featured in the New York Times, Wall
Street Journal, Men's Health, Forbes, Business Insider, Techcrunch,
Entrepreneur Magazine, Metabolism, Endocrine Today, and more.
