Dr. Robert Lustig
Dr. Lustig has fostered a global discussion of metabolic health and nutrition, exposing some of the leading myths that underlie the current pandemic of diet-related disease. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today’s epidemics of addiction and depression. Yet by focusing on real food, we can beat the odds against sugar, processed food, obesity, and disease.
Christopher Palmer, M.D
Dr. Chris Palmer is a Harvard Medical School Physician, Researcher, Consultant, Educator dedicated to improving the lives of people suffering from mental illness.

By better understanding these connections, he's hopeful that we will better understand what causes mental illness. This will undoubtedly lead to more effective treatments.
