Episode 268: Dr. Richard Johnson – It’s Not Willpower. It’s Biology. The Fat Switch Explained

Dr. Richard Johnson, author of “The Fat Switch” and “Nature Wants Us to Be Fat,” explains how fructose can activate an evolutionary metabolic pathway that increases hunger and drives fat storage. The conversation covers uric acid, insulin resistance, and why “calories in, calories out” doesn’t tell the whole story. Johnson also shares his views on GLP-1 medications and practical steps for restoring metabolic flexibility.
