In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we dive deep into the cellular consequences of high sugar intake, examining how it drives insulin resistance and damages mitochondrial function—the energy powerhouses of your cells.
Learn how excess sugar leads to a vicious metabolic cycle, where insulin resistance and mitochondrial dysfunction feed into each other, fueling chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and obesity. We also explore the unique role of fructose, why food processing matters, and what Dr. Robert Lustig has to say about mitochondrial dysfunction as a root cause of metabolic disease.
🎧 Tune in to understand why reducing sugar isn’t just about calories—it’s about protecting your metabolism at the cellular level.
