S1 E45 Cure For The Common Life - Why We Eat Too Much

“This gives people not just hope, but some real tangible tools to understand and change how they eat.”

Today I am joined by one of London’s top General Surgeons specializing in Bariatric and Laparoscopic surgeries and procedures, Dr. Andrew Jenkinson. Dr. Jenkinson is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, a member of the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society, and holds a Master of Surgery title for his thesis research. In the last year and a half, stress levels-as well as obesity levels-have gone through the roof due to the lockdown. Today, Dr. Andrew Jenkinson joins Cure For The Common Life to help close the gap between what doctors, scientists and dieticians tell us about obesity, as well as yack with me about metabolism, setpoints, weight loss myths, and saturated fats. Grab a notepad and paper because you are going to want to take notes, and get ready to go DEEP into the truth behind weight loss, weight regulating, and obesity.
