Episode 11: Dr. Robert Lustig on chronic disease, Big Pharma & ultra processed food

Dr. Lustig is one of the world’s global authorities on nutrition and chronic disease. While most of his career was spent as an endocrinologist, Lustig rose to fame in 2009 when his lecture on sugar went viral. It now has 24 million views on YouTube.

Lustig is the New York Times bestseller of three books, which have covered everything from processed food and metabolic dysfunction to sugar and obesity. Lustig has also been featured in multiple documentaries and recently made an appearance on the Andrew Huberman podcast.

Over the last 50 years, chronic disease has skyrocketed in the United States. People are getting cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, digestive disorders and heart disease at rates that are unprecedented compared to any point in human history. And it is crippling our society.

Why is this happening? And how can we prevent it from happening to us? In this conversation, we discuss the main cause of chronic disease, and the surprising cure that no one is talking about.
