In “Metabolical,” Dr. Robert Lustig explores the critical relationship between what you eat and chronic diseases. As a pediatric neuroendocrinologist, Lustig challenges the existing healthcare approach which has been swayed by Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.
Unraveling the web of nutrition, health, medicine, environment, and society, “Metabolical” illuminates the detrimental impact of processed foods on our health, economy, and environment.
Dr. Lustig employs his expertise in bridging scientific data with everyday understanding. He reveals:
- The focus on symptoms rather than the root cause in chronic disease treatment
- The possibility to assess your biochemical profile
- How chronic diseases are impacted by food choices, not just medication
- The addictive and toxic nature of processed food
- The common ground between seemingly opposing diets, like vegan and keto
Dr. Lustig argues that food is a potent tool for biochemical changes that can enhance health. He emphasizes the importance of eating to protect the liver and nourish the gut.
“Metabolical” paints a picture of how altering food habits can contribute to personal well-being, sustainable healthcare, and environmental preservation. It offers an urgent call to action for individuals to critically consider the food choices they make and their far-reaching implications.
