37. Sara Pugh: Why Circadian Rhythms are so Critical for Weight Loss and Metabolic Health

Sara Pugh, PhD and I discuss why diabetes and obesity is a problem of circadian disruption and artificial light, the holes in centralized advice to avoid the sun, why we should eat foods low in deuterium, and MUCH much more. This is a must listen for any low-carb doctor or patient who is attempting to reverse metabolic disease or lose weight. Sara Pugh is a post-doctoral PhD researcher in molecular biology turned biohacker and holistic health practitioner using circadian/quantum approach.TIMESTAMPS00:02:30 Sara’s backstory00:06:25 Sara’s opinion on statin research00:11:27 Sara’s sunlight approach to healing patients00:16:36 What is deuterium?
