Rethinking Modern Medicine: Metabolic Health and Why Calories Don’t Work | Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota

Why is modern medicine so slow to adapt to new science? In this episode, we sit down with physician and physiologist Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota to challenge some of the most deeply entrenched dogmas in healthcare and nutrition.Dr. Soto-Mota explains why he shifted gears from traditional internal medicine to metabolic research, sharing a fascinating look into the slow evolution of science—often progressing "one funeral at a time." We dive deep into the remarkable real-world success of using carbohydrate restriction and carnivore diets to treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), the biological flaws of the "calorie" model, and why the textbook definition of hormones is completely outdated.Finally, we break down his recent Keto CTA study on Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHR) and what the data actually says about high LDL cholesterol and heart disease plaque progression in metabolically healthy individuals.If you've ever felt like the standard medical advice on diet, metabolism, and cholesterol isn't telling the whole story, this deep dive into physiology is for you.If you enjoyed this episode, please hit the Like button, Subscribe to the channel, and share your thoughts in the comments below!⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Introduction & Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota's background00:34 – Internal Medicine vs. Biomedical Science: Why medicine isn't a science03:57 – Are we on the edge of a massive paradigm shift in healthcare?07:50 – "Science progresses one funeral at a time"09:21 – The shocking success of Carnivore & Low-Carb diets for IBD patients13:33 – Epilepsy, IBD, and treating disease when we don't know the mechanism16:52 – Are ketone bodies actually hormones?21:42 – The biological flaw of the "Calorie" and the Energy Balance Model37:13 – The Keto CTA Study: Does high LDL cause plaque in Lean Mass Hyper-Responders?42:43 – The biggest surprise from the data🔗 RESOURCES & LINKSFollow Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota on Twitter/X: [Insert Link]Read the Keto CTA Study: [Insert Link]Subscribe to the Podcast: [Insert Link]Disclaimer: The information provided in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice.
