My guest today is Nick Norwitz, PhD and Harvard medical student.

We delve into the intricate connections between metabolic health, chronic disease, and the misunderstood roles of lipids and cholesterol in conditions like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's.

Explore groundbreaking insights on hyperinsulinemia, the promises of ketogenic diets, personalized health experimentation, and the subtle nuances of metabolic therapies.

This engaging conversation sheds light on the future of nutrition and personalized medicine, revealing how metabolic health underpins overall well-being and longevity.
