Understanding Nutrition Research

We’re always hearing extreme results from nutritional research. Ranging from the “dangers” of eggs to completely contradictory statements, like that a low-carb diet shortens lifespan and also increases it, we are bombarded with confusing information that can make deciding what to eat totally overwhelming. But with the right knowledge and resources, we can learn to decipher dietary studies to get the real truth. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Chris Kresser, an expert in Functional Medicine and a leader in nutritional research, to dissect what you need to evaluate to understand nutrition research.

Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac is the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of Kresser Institute, creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. He is one of the most respected clinicians and educators in the fields of Functional Medicine and ancestral health and has trained over 1,500 clinicians and health coaches in his unique approach.

20 Comments on Understanding Nutrition Research

  1. If you want a real attempt at an honestly balanced view on nutrition you should hear out plant-based experts like Dr. Michael Greger

  2. I love these shorter videos where I can get some highlights of the topic and then decide if I want to spend the time to view the whole conversation. Great Idea!

  3. Kresser the acupuncturist? the posser? the one destroyed by a MMA fighter at his own game? ask him about forest plots. He lost all credibility. Don’t lose yours Dr. Hyman by having quacks on the show.
