Send us Fan MailYour doctors told you that losing weight would help you live longer, improve your numbers, and protect you from serious illness. It was a lie, and it goes deeper than weight loss. In this episode, I break down why the "ob*sity reduces life expectancy" claim is built on bad maths, why fat may actually protect your health, and why the blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol targets your doctor is chasing have never been shown to prevent the outcomes they're supposed to prevent.
