We could easily reduce the billion-dollar cost of diabetes medication in Norway if people received proper nutrition education. For individual health, I think I'm right, but I used to work in the pharmaceutical industry, so if you follow the money, you'll probably see a connection.
Imagine facing the daily struggle of sugar cravings while dealing with obesity or diabetes 2. That's the reality for many, and it's the focus of this eye-opening episode of Sukkerpodden. Host Bente Josefsen sits down with Dr. Erik Hexeberg, an internal medicine specialist with over a decade of experience treating these conditions. Dr. Hexeberg doesn't just talk about the problem; he offers actionable solutions.
He criticizes the reliance on ultra-processed foods, which, far from helping, actually exacerbate issues like heart disease. Instead, he champions a low-carb, high-fat diet to combat insulin resistance and regulate blood sugar levels. But that's not all. Dr. Hexeberg delves into the flaws in current dietary guidelines and their role in perpetuating sugar addiction. He emphasizes the need for better nutrition education to truly tackle these public health crises.
As a bonus, he touches on how the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted our understanding of health and nutrition. This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action for anyone looking to break free from the grip of sugar addiction and improve their overall well-being.
