The primary cause of metabolic dysfunction is not carbohydrates themselves but rather the combination of processed "naked" sugars and high linoleic acid seed oils that damage mitochondrial function at a cellular level.


KISMET

While most people focus on limiting carbohydrates to improve metabolic health, the research actually shows that fruit juice and honey can improve insulin sensitivity in some diabetics due to their complex chemical structures that positively influence gut bacteria – completely contradicting conventional wisdom about sugar.


EPISODE SUMMARY

Dr. Paul Saladino shares his evidence-based perspective on the true causes of metabolic dysfunction. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates themselves don't cause insulin resistance. Instead, the primary culprits are processed "naked" sugars that disrupt gut bacteria and seed oils high in linoleic acid that damage mitochondrial membranes. These damaged membranes lead to energy production inefficiency at the cellular level, which manifests as various metabolic disorders. Dr. Saladino explains how the standard American diet contains 5-10 times more linoleic acid than our ancestors consumed, primarily from seed oils in processed foods. He argues that returning to single-ingredient foods and specifically reducing linoleic acid intake could rapidly improve metabolic health. The discussion challenges conventional medical wisdom about cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and the treatment of metabolic disorders.

"I want people to know that I was not taught in medical school the diet was this powerful. And that's probably the most important thing that I can do with my career is just tell people like what you eat and the quality of the foods you eat is everything. It's everything."
