Dr. Pete DeLannoy: Sugar Addiction, food addiction, how to turn your “fat switch” off & much more!

In this episode I talk with Dr. Pete DeLannoy to learn about our metabolic fat “switch” and how to turn it on and off. We discuss sugar and food addiction & how this addictive process works in the body and what we can do to break the cycle. We also talk about a plant-forward or protein-forward diet, alcohol, climbing, over-training, under-exercising, weight gain, weight loss, chronic illness and prevention & reversal so we can live a healthy, long, and high quality life. Dr. Pete Delannoy earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1990. His dissertation was in the area of the molecular biology of gene expression at the level of RNA. He did his post-doctoral research in the area of RNA binding proteins and later was a tenured Associate Professor of Chemistry at Black Hills State University. Dr. Pete spent 28+ years teaching chemistry at the college and secondary levels and most recently taught chemistry at the top ranked charter school in the world: BASIS Schools. He became interested in uric acid biochemistry when he was diagnosed with gout in 2016 and then pre-diabetes in 2019. He used his extensive training in biochemistry to understand and reverse his pre-diabetes and put his gout in remission. Since 2019 he has leveraged his doctorate in biochemistry and his extensive teaching experience to make the reversal of metabolic disease understandable through speaking and coaching. He has worked successfully with clients that suffer from gout, cardiovascular disease, type-two-diabetes, obesity, and sugar addiction. Dr. Pete is a certified Nutrition Network Health Practitioner and he is accredited by the Society of Medical Health Practitioners.
