Jun 8, 2022

Watch Episode 181 with Dr. Hana Kahleova:

Dr. Hana Kahleova is the Director of Clinical Research at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. You may remember her from episode 93, and we were so thrilled to have her back on the show! Her can-do attitude is positively empowering.

On this show, we talk about diabetes and what insulin resistance is, in addition to other topics like brown fat vs white fat, weight gain as we age, the benefits of intermittent fasting, the pros and cons of the keto diet, and more. Dr. Hana shows us (and proves to us through various studies) that we have more control over our health than we think through our diet and lifestyle alone.
