#39 - What's Making Us Fat? Response to ...

JEFF NIPPARD
About this episode

In this episode I'm speaking with Dr. Stephan Guyenet about the science behind what is driving fat gain. We also cover the "is a calorie a calorie" question, address the role of sugar/carbs in obesity and diabetes and the role of the brain in regulating all of this.

This interview was recorded just after the debate on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast (JRE) between Gary Taubes and Stephan Guyenet, which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA3QavPp1Ho
