Welcome to the At the Helm podcast, where we explore food as treatment for chronic disease.
Throughout this podcast series, Dr. Charles Helm, a BC family doctor, will talk to a diverse array of guests about how what we eat may set us up for disease, and importantly, how changing what we eat can be as powerful as any drug for treating certain chronic diseases, like type 2 diabetes.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Charles Helm is joined by Dr. Ana Andreazza, professor of pharmacology, toxicology, and psychiatry at the University of Toronto, for a deep dive into the world of mitochondria — the tiny but mighty engines of our cells.
Dr. Andreazza shares how mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to chronic diseases including mood disorders, neurodegeneration, and type 2 diabetes — and how nutritional therapies and lifestyle changes can restore mitochondrial health and transform patient outcomes. From the science of ketones and fasting to groundbreaking developments like mitochondrial transplantation, this conversation sheds light on the root causes of disease and the power of prevention.
Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, patient, or simply curious about how food and metabolism influence health, this episode will leave you inspired and informed.
