Extend Podcast with Darshan Shah, MD 59. Joel Greene: The Nutrition Secret That Reverses Fatigue and Brain Fog
What if the secret to better energy, fat loss, and gut health wasn’t more discipline… but a smarter strategy? Most people are hacking the wrong system—and it’s backfiring. In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by Joel Greene, creator of the VEEP Nutrition System and one of the most innovative minds in metabolic health. We break down the science behind fat loss, blood sugar regulation, gut health, and why conventional diet advice is failing most people.
We dive into how your microbiome controls more than just digestion, why fasting isn’t one-size-fits-all, and what your body really needs to burn fat and build lasting energy. Joel also shares cutting-edge insights on short-chain fatty acids, protein misconceptions, and how your environment is silently shaping your metabolic function.
If you want to understand how your body actually works—and how to fuel it for longevity and performance—this conversation is a game-changer.
