Dr. Paul Rieckhoff: Diet is the most important issue for people with metabolic dysfunction. He says cutting out ultra process foods can have an effect on risk factors very rapidly. If you're metabolically unhealthy already, he would say limit or eliminate low quality carbohydrates. But exercise doesn't need to be pounding it in the gym - just do what you enjoy and feel good.
This week, Paul chats with cardiologist, public health campaigner and author, Aseem Malhotra. They touch on pharmaceuticals, statins, and whether LDL cholesterol is a big deal. They also provide tools to assess your metabolic health and stress levels in an objective manner.
