“Toxic Fat”. When food becomes a drug…
What if you could take a pill to regulate your weight, stave off cancer, give you more energy, and make you feel great? Instead of a pill, what if all you had to do was reach for a fork? Your fridge is a pharmacy—so many health problems, from weight gain to diabetes to depression, are a direct result of what we eat.
And here’s a wake-up call: It’s estimated that 86% of the adult population will be obese by 2030. (Yes, you read that right. 86%!)
Kathleen talks to Dr. Barry Sears, international expert on the hormonal effects of food and the New York Times best-selling author of numerous books including The Zone and most recently, Toxic Fat.
In this interview Dr. Sears shares how the hormones that regulate everything in our bodies (weight, longevity, performance, emotions) are actually controlled by the foods we eat. The ‘perfect nutritional storm’ of carb and ‘toxic fat’ overload is wreaking havoc on our hormones and inflammation levels, driving diseases like diabetes and cancer. Learn the do’s and don’ts of hormone balance through diet, how exercise relates to weight (the answer might surprise you), and what we can all do to avoid becoming an obesity statistic.
Dr. Barry Sears is a leading authority on the dietary control of hormonal response. A former research scientist at the Boston University School of Medicine and MIT, he has dedicated his research over the past 30 years to the study of lipids. He is the author of the landmark book The Zone, which became a #1 bestseller on the New York Times book list. Dr. Sears has been a frequent guest on many national programs such as 20/20, Today, Good Morning America, CBS Morning News, CNN, and MSNBC.
