In today's episode, I team up with Dr. Chrystyne Olivieri to delve into the critical topic of metabolic health, focusing on insulin resistance and its implications for overall health. We discuss the prevalence of obesity in people and pets, the impact of ultra-processed foods on our health, and the hormonal crises (aka Insulin Resistance) that arise from poor dietary choices. The conversation emphasizes the failure of traditional diets and the importance of behavioral modifications for achieving better metabolic health, as well as some myth busting and scientific study flaws. Dr. Olivieri provides practical advice for listeners to assess their dietary habits and make informed changes to improve their health, with more to come in part 2!
