What up family, it's episode 109 of the Genius Life.

What up everybody, hope this episode of the show finds you in good health and in good

spirits.

I'm Max Lugavir, filmmaker, health and science journalist and author of the New York

Times bestselling book, Genius Foods and the National Bestseller of the Genius Life.

On this episode of the show, I'm super excited to welcome a truly heavy hitter in the

health and nutrition space.

David A. Kessler, he served as Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, aka the

FDA, under President George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

He's a pediatrician and has been the dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University

of California, San Francisco.

His latest book is called Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs, the simple truth about food, weight and

disease.

This episode of the show is all about the very nature of food processing and how ultra-processed

foods above and beyond the calorie content that they possess are in a way inherently

fattening.

We also talk about his views on cardiovascular disease and he takes a very strong stance.

He's a highly debated topic in health discourse, cholesterol, and we also talk about the

healthy at any size movement.

You get a guy who has been steeped in public health policy for decades at this point, giving

you his thoughts on whether or not you can truly be healthy at any size, which is what

some people, especially on social media, seem to advocate these days.
