Medical progress is never the result of a single person’s effort. Together with my team, we research, innovate, and break new ground—not just for the sake of science, but to improve human health and well-being on a broader scale.

Fatty fish and shellfish aren’t just good—they’re some of the most nutrient-packed foods you can eat.

Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout provide brain-boosting omega-3s and keep blood sugar stable. Shellfish like shrimp, oysters, clams, and crab deliver essential minerals like zinc and iodine that support metabolism and immune health.

Yet, seafood is often overlooked. Are you getting enough? What’s your favorite way to eat it?

Multifactorial in origin, obesity stems from a combination of genetic predispositions, lifestyle behaviors, dietary patterns, access to medical care, and socioeconomic circumstances. Consequently, all health practitioners must be aware of these influences and foster interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver comprehensive patient care.

No surprise here. But ultraprocessed food is not going away.
Can it be made healthy? Yes, if you adhere to three principles: protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain.
UPF manufacturers need to do 4 things:
1. Cut the sugar.
2. Add fiber.
3. Add omega-3’s.
4. Cut the emulsifiers.

If you were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes today, what would you do first?

Here’s the reality—diabetes isn’t just about high blood sugar. It’s about insulin resistance. And the quickest way to tackle that? Cut the carbs.

I’d drop carbs to 30g or less per day. No processed junk. Just real food—protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Science backs it. Blood sugar drops. Insulin sensitivity improves. Medications get reduced (or ditched altogether).

But here’s the real question—why aren’t we told this from the start?

Excessive glucose circulating in the blood can lead to diabetes, primarily through insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when cells in muscle, fat, and the liver do not respond to insulin as they should. There are numerous factors and conditions contributing to varying degrees of insulin resistance, including high blood pressure, high lipid levels, glucose tolerance, pregnancy, genetics, aging, a sedentary lifestyle, and obesity.
