This episode features Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in treating inflammation and chronic disease with nutrition and lifestyle protocols. Dr Fettke asserts inflammation is at the heart of all disease and our modern diet is to blame.
In this episode, Dr. Fettke discusses the most harmful foods we eat every day, which are slowly elevating blood sugar, causing insulin resistance, and disease in all areas of the body.
Dr. Fettke explains that if your blood sugar is elevated, it affects every part of the body, including the brain, the heart, eyes, and every cell.
Dr Fettke discusses where inflammation comes from, particularly from three sources: fructose, glucose, and polyunsaturated oils. Dr Fettke also breaks down the mechanism by which fructose damages the mitochondria of every cell and the science behind why fructose is as dangerous as glucose. Dr Fettke also discusses carbohydrates and the dose that is the poison.

About Dr Gary Fettke
Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon practicing in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. He has a major interest in the preventative medicine and encourages his patients to lose weight before undergoing surgery.
Although his speciality is surgery, Gary believes it is much better to help people avoid surgery if at all possible by taking preventative measures, which often involve altering the diet.
In recent years Gary has focused on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out on the combined role of sugar, fructose, refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated oils linking together to be behind inflammation and modern disease.
He has incurred the wrath of regulatory bodies for his stand on public health, but he and his wife, Belinda, remain active defending the benefits of low carb healthy fat living. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at an international level.
