Spoiler: On the heels of becoming a NYT best-seller, the author says that the way medicine is practiced in the U.S. is “all wrong” in that we’re missing the key issue of metabolic dysfunction. She warns that the modern world is not conducive to mitochondrial health. She gives the example that female infertility is going up by 1% per year while male sperm count goes down yearly, which she says is our bodies telling us that our world no longer supports life as before. We must eliminate ultra-processed foods and seed oils like canola.

Spoiler: The author emphasizes that metabolism is the fundamental process by which we power ourselves, converting food energy to cellular energy; death is the absence of metabolism. Metabolic dysfunction is an under-powering of our bodies, one branch of which is the obesity epidemic we see in the U.S. and other countries. She names five biomarkers that can be tested to predict deadly disease: fasting glucose, triglycerides, HGL cholesterol, waist circumference, and blood pressure, adding that only 7% of Americans “pass” these five tests and are therefore metabolically healthy.

Spoiler: In this short promo featuring personal photos and video footage, the author tells the story of her mother’s death due to a preventable disease. She also shares her experience of dropping out of medical residency nine years into her training, when she realized that she didn’t actually know why her patients were sick; she knew only how to operate on them or give them drugs. She says our healthcare system is incentivized to keep us sick, rather than helping us become healthy.
