288. Sugar Shield: Fixing Fructose Metabolism, Sugar Cravings & Energy | Chris Mearns of Liv3Health

David DeHaas

Chris Mearns comes from a background in technology and research and has spent years investigating the science of fructose metabolism and its role in human biology. His work focuses on connecting research on fructose, cellular energy, mitochondrial function, cravings, and metabolic dysfunction to explain why so many seemingly different health problems can occur together.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why fructose may function as more than just a calorie and how it can act as a metabolic signaling molecule
• How fructose metabolism may affect ATP, uric acid, mitochondrial efficiency, inflammation, and cellular energy
• Why persistent sugar cravings and “food noise” may have a biological component beyond willpower or discipline
• The difference between naturally occurring fructose in whole fruit and the concentrated fructose found in added sugars, juices, and processed foods
• How the body can produce fructose through the polyol pathway when glucose levels are elevated, and why this may connect to metabolic dysfunction
• How Chris Mearns developed Sugar Shield as a potential way to target fructose metabolism while reducing cravings and supporting energy
