Episode 1: Kevin Forey MD Begins His Crusade Against Highly Processed Foods

The intention of this podcast is to promote greater awareness and understanding of food, nutrition, physical activity, and other day-to-day considerations regarding health and wellness. I've titled this podcast The Simple Path to Health because becoming a healthier you can in fact be really simple. Meanwhile, there is so much information out there that it also can be very overwhelming and confusing.  Instead, my goal is to keep things practical, easy to understand, and applicable to you, the everyday individual. ⁠www.KevinForeyMD.com⁠ Prevalence of insulin resistance among adolescents and young adults, including insulin resistance among those with a normal body weight.
