Ep# 132: Sitting Makes You Fat
from Coffee With Dr. Kashey · host Dr. Trevor Kashey
In this episode, Dr. Kashey explains the biochemistry and pathophysiology of obesity-related diseases and discusses how activity significantly impacts appetite and eating patterns. He emphasizes that this effect is conserved across animal species, including humans. He explains a graph showing the relationship between activity, body weight, and sugar intake, which has three major categories: potted plant status, using your body on purpose with purpose, and overkill status. He describes each category in detail and explains what happens when activity levels become too low. Dr. Kashey explains the concept of insulin resistance using the analogy of a house and movers, where the body keeps producing insulin to bring down blood sugar levels, even though the underlying issue causing high blood sugar remains unaddressed.
