The Diet Myth, Part 1
April 26, 2016
Dr. Tim Spector joins Dr. Hoffman to discuss his new book “The Diet Myth: Why the Secret to Health and Weight Loss is Already in Your Gut.” Why are rates of obesity soaring worldwide? It’s not just an overabundance of caloric foods and sedentary lifestyle, according to Dr. Spector. Something has changed in the last few decades—it’s our guts! Under assault from poor diets, acid-blockers, antibiotics, and germ-free environments, our microbial diversity has suffered. The result: an epidemic of modern diseases: diabesity, cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, autoimmunity, allergy and inflammatory disorders. Drawing from his extensive study of identical twins and the British Gut Project, which he launched, Dr. Spector is unraveling the secrets of how our trillions of gut bacteria influence our health. Why “diversity" may be more than just a catch-phrase for social activists; Could cheese actually be a health food? Are coffee and chocolate rich in nutritious fiber? What are pre-biotics? How far away are we from personalized probiotics and designer yoghurts to combat disease and promote weight loss? How can Intelligent Medicine listeners participate in microbiome research and gain valuable insights about their gut health? Click HERE for part 2.

Always Hungry, Part 1
March 22, 2016
Are you “Always Hungry?” That’s the title of a new book by Harvard endocrinologist and researcher, Dr. David Ludwig. What’s the true basis for food craving? Why doesn’t “calories in, calories out” explain why people retain and gain weight? How can it be that, as Dr. Ludwig states, “Overeating doesn’t make you fat”? Why isn’t intense exercise a panacea for overweight? What crucial roles do insulin and inflammation play in obesity? How does the Always Hungry Solution address the true causes of weight gain? Dr. Ludwig issues an urgent call to action to provide our kids with a "safe zone" against the toxic food environment to which they’re continually exposed, to save them from our current epidemic of childhood obesity--which is ushering in a disease crisis among our adult population.
