Re-release: "No food is better than bad food" says UCSF's Dr. Lustig. Part 1

Re-release! Originally published 9/14/23. After receiving an email from Dr. Robert Lustig about his concerns with Jessica's work she was fortunate enough to catch Dr. Lustig on the phone for this interview. In addition to giving her advice on what to tell a patient who needed to choose between a can of ravioli or nothing he shared his beliefs about calories, metabolic health, starvation, and how he distinguishes between what an eating disorder is and what it's not.

Content Note: This episode discusses topics that may be distressing to those who are food insecure, live in areas of food apartheid, experience anti-fatness, and/or have disordered eating.


Part 2 of this episode will air in two weeks.

If you have comments, feedback and/or analysis you can email or send a voice memo to makingitawkwardpod@gmail.com.
