Show Title: 95% Reduce Medications: Dr. Brad Moore on the Power Reversing Diseases
Show Description: Discover how lifestyle medicine can reverse chronic disease in this powerful conversation between Chuck Carroll and Dr. Brad Moore, Director of the Lifestyle Medicine Program at George Washington Medical Faculty Associates.
Dr. Moore explains why the root cause of conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and heart disease is often lifestyle—not genetics. He shares how simple changes in food, movement, sleep, and stress can dramatically improve health, reduce medications, and transform long-term outcomes.
You'll learn what separates patients who succeed with lifestyle change from those who struggle, why focusing only on weight can backfire, and how sleep and stress alter hunger, cravings, and metabolism. Dr. Moore also breaks down the science behind insulin resistance, saturated fat, and rapid improvements seen when patients adopt a whole-food, plant-forward diet.
This special bonus episode was recorded live at GreenFare Organic Cafe in Reston, VA. The menu is entirely free of salt, oil, and sugar and 100 percent organic.
What You'll Learn:
– How lifestyle medicine reverses chronic disease
– Why genetics matter less than most people think
– The truth about insulin resistance and saturated fat
– Why focusing on weight alone slows progress
– How sleep and stress affect appetite and metabolism
– The difference between "cannonball" and "baby-step" approaches
