What's up guys? I'm really excited for part one of this two-part conversation with Dr. William Lee.

0:05.9

Dr. Lee has been a key part of developing 40 FDA-approved therapeutics and devices for cancer,

0:12.1

cardiovascular disease, and more. So when I say this guy knows what he's talking about, I really mean it.

0:17.2

And in his latest book, Eat to Beat Your Diet, he's upending some of the most long-held and

0:22.5

cherished beliefs in the medical community about how to address your health and body fat through

0:28.1

diet. In this episode, we talk about why not every person with excess body fat is metabolically

0:33.3

unhealthy, and we get into the debate around whether or not you can actually be healthy at any size

0:38.9

in helping us get the show out to more people just like you. I'm Tom Billu, and welcome to

1:10.0

Impact Theory. And your new book makes a pretty

1:12.9

bold assertion that I would like to get straight into around fat and that being fat does not

1:18.8

necessarily mean that you're metabolically unhealthy. That was scandalous when I read it. So how can

1:25.2

that be true? Now listen, I'm going to throw myself under the bus here.

1:29.4

When I was in medical school, I was given the same lecture about metabolism that pretty much
