Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Blood. Outside of acting, my two favorite things

to do are diet and eat. I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast,

we're going to talk about all of it. Food is entertainment, food is sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person, just like you and me.

I hate to ask you to do anything, but if you're enjoying the show, please take a moment to like,

subscribe, rate, review, all of the above on whatever app you're getting it from.

Today on the show I'm talking to Dr. Casey Meing. She is a Stanford trained physician,

chief medical officer, and the co-founder of the Metabolic Health Company levels.

And for all you listeners, levels has a special offer for my audience.

If you head to levels.link slash American Glutton, you will get a nice discount.

Please enjoy our conversation. Dr. Casey means welcome to the American Glutton podcast.

Ethan, it's such a pleasure. I'm so excited to chat with you.

I'm excited to chat with you too. So we find ourselves in, you know, I think about my life and like,

I was an overweight little kid and I was an overweight little kid when there were not a lot of

overweight little kids. Like I was for sure the odd man now. And when I look at pictures of myself

now, I don't even see and to be honest with you, the kid was like me as a kid wasn't really overweight.

And now when I go to schools, school events or anything like that, I see a lot of, you know,

obese little kids. And I just think that we have shifted. Now, I think there's a lot of

probably like I think, you know, if we just got rid of processed food, if we nuked it,

I don't know that that ultimately handles everything like I think there's other factors as we

societally reduce our need for physical output and have this abundance of food. Maybe we gain weight.

But what is your solution to all of this? That's my question to you. How are we going to do battle
