Rethinking Modern Medicine: Metabolic Health and Why Calories Don’t Work | Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota
About this episode
Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota discusses the shortcomings of modern medicine and the benefits of metabolic health approaches.
Why is modern medicine so slow to adapt to new science? In this episode, we sit down with physician and physiologist Dr. Adrian Soto-Mota to challenge some of the most deeply entrenched dogmas in healthcare and nutrition. Dr. Soto-Mota explains why he shifted gears from traditional internal medicine to metabolic research, sharing a fascinating look into the slow evolution of science—often progressing "one funeral at a time." We dive deep into the remarkable real-world success of using carbohydrate restriction and carnivore diets to treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), the biological flaws of the "calorie" model, and why the textbook definition of hormones is completely outdated. Finally, we break down his recent Keto CTA study on Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHR) and what the data actually says about high LDL cholesterol and heart disease plaque progression in metabolically healthy individuals. If you've ever felt like the standard medical advice on diet, metabolism, and cholesterol isn't telling the whole story, this deep dive into physiology is for you.
