Episode 198: What's Really Weighing You Down Series - Is Obesity Really a Disease?
Carrie and Deb are back for another episode in our What’s Really Weighing You Down series. And this one, is a controversial topic that we are hitting hard.
Obesity is a sensitive topic and there is a lot of blame and shame that comes with it. Carrie and Deb are raising a very important question – is obesity really a disease? Or, has obesity actually been manufactured by humans? Consider this, there is something that has changed with our food system and in our culture that is causing us to be obese.
Not every country has an obesity problem. In the US however, obesity has tripled in the last 30-40 years. 86 million Americans have pre-diabetes, and 40 million Americans are diabetic. There is something in our culture that is causing us to be obese. And obesity is a symptom of metabolic disease. It’s time to stop the madness and balance our blood sugar through food.
