Sugar Addiction

The topic of this week's discussion is Sugar Addiction. This episode isn’t just about cupcakes and soda. It’s about a systemic hijacking of our biology, our choices, and our children’s futures. Over 70% of packaged foods are laced with added sugars. Meanwhile, rates of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline, and even depression are skyrocketing. Sucrose, glucose, fructose, dextrose, call it whatever you want—sugar isn’t just a food—it’s a drug, marketed to us with precision, subsidized by our government, and often hidden behind misleading labels and pseudoscience. Dr. Tro Kalayjian is a board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and he is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of TOWARD Health in New York. He is also the host of the Low Carb MD podcast and recognized for a personal transformation—having lost over 150 pounds himself by adopting a low-carb diet—and now focuses his medical practice on helping patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome, primarily through intensive lifestyle interventions such as nutrition, exercise, and behavioral support. toward.health [https://toward.health] Helene Leeds is a health entrepreneur, educator, and former MasterChef contestant with decades of experience in nourishment, emotional healing, and public health advocacy.

Dr. Kirk Moore Trial

The topic of this week's discussion is the Dr. Kirk Moore Trial. Utah's Dr. Kirk Moore was prosecuted by the federal government for destroying COVID-19 vaccines, issuing fraudulent vaccination records, and administering saline injections to children in place of the mRNA injectable at the request of their parents.
