Metabolic Signaling of Sugar w/ Chris Mearns

Chris Mearns describes how fructose metabolism creates uric acid and damages mitochondrial function, explaining that the body's survival programming from evolutionary times is now working against modern humans who eat constantly due to easy access to food. Mearns discusses how various foods and lifestyle factors trigger fructose metabolism, including high glycemic carbs, dehydration, salt, alcohol, and umami foods, making it challenging to avoid the compound entirely. He shared research on fructokinase inhibitors and describes his company Liv3Health's product SugarShield, which contains luteolin and tart cherry extract to naturally inhibit fructose metabolism.  Discussion Points: Fructose and Glucose Metabolic Differences Evolution and Modern Dietary Challenges Fructose Metabolism and Fasting Insulin Resistance and Cellular Fuel Natural Fruit Ripening and Processing Survival Signals and Food Cravings Chris Mearns is a metabolic researcher, the founder of LIV3 Health, and the creator of the Fructose Model, a systems-based approach focused on how fructose metabolism can contribute to health issues.
