Emily Kaplan on metabolic health, medicine and mistrust: Part 1

Host Chethan Sathya, MD, welcomes Emily Kaplan, co-founder of Broken Science Initiative and MetFix, a novel approach to fitness and nutrition. Kaplan explains why chronic disease continues to rise even as more Americans go to the gym, arguing that nutrition — not just exercise — is central to better health outcomes. The conversation explores insulin, mitochondrial dysfunction, seed oils, sugar, and the biological mechanisms she believes drive obesity, fatty liver disease, and metabolic illness.
