Kevin Hall spent 21 years at the US National Institutes of Health
and became known globally for his pioneering work on
ultra-processed foods. In April he unexpectedly took early
retirement, citing censorship under the Trump administration. Now
he has co-authored a book with the journalist Julia Belluz that
aims to bust myths and challenge wellness orthodoxy on everything
from weight loss and metabolism to supplements and wearables. Hall
tells Ian Sample what he wants us all to understand about diet,
exercise and weight loss, and what led to his departure from the
job he loved. Help support our independent journalism at
