157. Debunking Food Industry Myths with Dr. Robert Lustig #WellnessWednesdays

Dr. Robert Lustig is on a mission to divulge the toxic truth about sugar and lift the veil on today’s food industry which has coerced us to believe that calories are the enemy. Once and for all, you are not what you eat! This episode will tell you why.  Dr. Robert and I debunk the many myths which have led to the obesity epidemic in the United States, getting to the root of the true dietary devil that has snuck its way into every single processed product (and seemingly healthy snack). This enlightening conversation will empower you to vote with your fork, take your health into your own hands, and eat the foods that live up to Robert’s manifesto of “protecting the liver and feeding the gut.” The power is ours, and it’s time to take it back.
