Ep# 125: Erase Your Food-Guilt

In this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the psychobiology of sugar and provides insights into how to resolve your relationship with food and eating. He challenges the axiomatic drivel that sugar is bad and you are what you eat, stating that these rules and slogans harm more than help. He explains how the human body is a complex combination of overlapping and communicating biological systems, and therefore, a one-size-fits-all diet recommendation is not justifiable. Dr. Kashey discusses how chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other metabolic derangements associated with excess body fat are not caused by eating fat, sugar, and salt, as policymakers and diet centrists have wrongfully deduced. Instead, he argues that what matters more is what your body does to your food. He talks about how we can influence how our bodie does things and ultimately get better rather than just feeling better for a short time. He finally explains how people tend to sabotage themselves by saying stuff and trying to mean it and how they could succeed by meaning something and then saying it.
