Listen to episode 215:
"Sugar is instant pleasure, but long-term pain": Dr. Bob
February 23, 2025
My expert guest this week is Dr. Bob Rakowski who is a seasoned functional medicine practitioner with over three decades of experience.
In this episode, Dr. Bob describes how as a teen growing up in the USA, he lived on milkshakes, cheeseburgers, french fries, and Mountain Dew. Tons of sugar!
By the time he graduated high school, he was overweight and lacked energy.
When Bob was just 18, he had an epiphany: he decided that for one week, he'd eat healthy. For him, it was a simple decision, an experiment that turned out really well.
And the results he experienced when he replaced fast foods with real whole foods led him to study chiropractic, kinesiology, acupuncture, clinical nutrition, and functional medicine.
For Dr. Bob, nutrition is the foundation of life. And sugar can disrupt everything.
Listen to find out why Dr. Bob says that "sugar is instant pleasure, but long term pain."
