Robert Lustig, M.D.: “The fat in the organs, the fat in the liver, the fat in the muscles that you can't measure by standing on a scale—it's the fat you can't see that makes all the difference.”

Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist and New York Times bestselling author, joins mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss how to actually know if you're metabolically healthy, plus:

- What you need to know about nutrition labels

- Why obesity is a red herring when it comes to metabolic health

- The truth about alternative flours

- Why treating chronic diseases is not “draggable” but “foodable”

- Why you should always protect the liver & feed the gut
