“Your body needs less sugar and more real foods and healthy fats.”: Dr. Aaron
January 4, 2026
In this episode, I’m joined by Aaron, a family physician who explains why most doctors get surprisingly little training in nutrition — and how that gap shaped the way medicine treats chronic disease.
Aaron shares how his upbringing influenced his relationship with sugar, and why Type 2 diabetes in kids has risen so dramatically.
Aaron also talks about the personal turning point that changed his approach to health: adopting his daughter and fighting to support her with real food instead of default medical “standard care.”
We also talk about why real food — including healthy fats — simplifies so much of the confusion around sugar and processed foods...
and why meaningful change in healthcare may need to come from the bottom up, with patients becoming more informed and asking better questions.
