Episode Details

In this episode, I sit with Dr. Nrutya to unpack why Indians develop diabetes, heart disease, and other lifestyle diseases much earlier than expected. We talk about the Indian diet, protein intake, ghee and saturated fat, grains, vegetables, dairy, and why many people feel confused despite trying to eat “healthy.” This conversation goes beyond calories and weight loss and explains how plate balance, food quality, cooking methods, and everyday habits affect blood sugar, insulin resistance, gut health, and long-term metabolic health. We also discuss lifestyle medicine, plant-predominant diets, disease prevention, and why food often matters more than medication when it comes to sustainable health.
