This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic Greens. We are amidst a metabolic health and obesity crisis that has taken the world by force, hijacking our biology, creating cellular dysfunction, and ultimately making us overweight, depressed, infertile, and chronically ill. The food industry tries to convince us that all calories are the same and then supports a narrative that blames the victim, insinuating that it’s the individual’s fault they are overweight. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about how we’ve lost our way when it comes to diet and health care, why fat shaming is never the answer, why weight-loss drugs are not the solution to the obesity epidemic, and much more.
