Every Meal You Eat Is Either Fighting or Feeding Inflammation | The Trusted Pharmacist Podcast

Описание: Most people think of food as fuel: calories in, calories out. But that’s not even close to the truth. Food is information. It’s the language your body speaks in to turn genes on or off, to heal or to harm.

Every bite you take is either moving you closer to inflammation and disease… or reprogramming your body to perform like a Ferrari instead of an old pickup truck.

That’s not an exaggeration. It’s the foundation of Dr. Barry Sears’ life’s work. Long before “biohacking” was a buzzword, he was using food as a drug, manipulating macronutrients and omega-3 fatty acids to literally engineer metabolism at the genetic level.

What if you could treat your metabolism the same way an engineer tunes a high-performance machine, not by adding more fuel, but by optimizing the signals that keep it running?

That’s the promise behind using food as a drug. Because inflammation isn’t random, it’s a software glitch. When the signals between your cells and hormones get scrambled by poor nutrition, stress, or the wrong kinds of fat, your metabolism breaks down. You gain weight, lose focus, and speed up the aging process without realizing it.

But the same mechanism that breaks you down can also rebuild you. The right balance of protein, carbohydrates, and omega-3s doesn’t just prevent disease, it reprograms how your genes behave. You can turn off chronic inflammation, sharpen mental clarity, improve insulin sensitivity, and even reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes with precision nutrition.

How do we eat to reprogram our bodies? Why does the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fats determine everything?

In this conversation, the leading biochemist, Metabolic Engineering pioneer, and creator of the Zone Diet shares how food can do what a pill can’t, and how to lower inflammation, reverse diabetes, and improve performance at every age.
