Dr. Eric Westman sits down with Craig Emmerich, co-author of The Art of Metabolic Health, to discuss why metabolic health is often misunderstood by modern medicine and how low carb, keto, carnivore, protein, and fat-burning can change the way we think about chronic disease. Craig shares how his wife Maria’s health journey led them into the low carb world, why doctors still often fail to ask about food, how the body prioritizes alcohol, glucose, fat, and protein, and why ketosis is a normal metabolic state rather than something to fear. They also discuss dementia, kidney health, coffee, children’s nutrition, protein, and the power of real food in helping people take back their health. #MetabolicHealth #KetoDiet #lowcarb

Dr. Eric Westman sits down with nutrition researcher Dr. Ty Beal to discuss what the science really says about nutrient density, animal foods, plant-based diets, dietary guidelines, and why so much mainstream nutrition advice has failed to improve public health. They explore why real food matters, why ultra-processed foods are a major problem, and why foods like eggs, fish, meat, organ meats, and dairy may be far more nutrient-dense than many people have been taught to believe. Dr. Beal also explains the limitations of observational nutrition research, the problems with weak associations, the debate around animal foods and planetary health, and why nutrition advice needs more nuance than simply saying “eat less fat” or “eat more plants.” This conversation challenges the old food pyramid thinking and asks whether modern dietary guidelines have ignored some of the most nutrient-rich foods humans can eat.
