Episode 14: Sugar with Courtney Peterson
Sugar consumption has grown exponentially over the past two decades, and with it comes much higher rates of things like diabetes and heart disease. In this episode we speak with Dr. Courtney Peterson, Associate Professor of Nutrition at Harvard’s TH Chan School of Public Health, about sugar and cardiometabolic health. Listen in as we discuss how our bodies’ response to sugar changes as we age, how intermittent fasting can help us regulate blood sugar, and how to reduce our consumption of things like sugar, ultra-processed foods, and microplastics.
