Reversing Cellular Damage: 8 Underlying Causes of Metabolic Illness
About this episode
Is our modern diet causing damage deep within our cells? In this episode, pediatric endocrinologist and bestselling author Dr. Robert Lustig breaks down what he calls the "Hateful Eight"—the eight core subcellular pathologies driving chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome.
Rather than treating these conditions as isolated illnesses, Dr. Lustig argues that modern medicine must look at the common root cause: how refined sugars, fructose, and ultra-processed foods disrupt cellular function from the inside out.
