Dr. Jeff & Friends, Season 1, Episode 10: OXIDATIVE STRESS: THE MASTER CLASS WITH DR. DONDEE NETTLES - PART 1 | What Changed Our Health?
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR HEALTH? Something changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Obesity increased. Type 2 diabetes increased. Metabolic disease became increasingly common. And today, many people are living longer—but not necessarily living healthier. So what changed? In Part 1 of our Oxidative Stress Master Class , my good friend Dr. Dondee Nettles joins me on Dr. Jeff & Friends to start connecting the dots. We go back to the 1970s and look at the transformation of the American food environment, the growth of ultra-processed foods, and how our changing lifestyles may be affecting our biology. But then we go deeper. What exactly is oxidative stress? ⚡ What happens when oxidative stress begins affecting our mitochondria? How are oxidative stress and chronic inflammation connected? ⚖️ What is happening metabolically as obesity and insulin resistance develop? How can chronically elevated blood sugar damage cells and blood vessels? And could some of the diseases we treat as completely separate problems actually share some of the same underlying biological pathways? This is where the conversation gets fascinating. Because maybe we need to spend less time asking only: "What disease do you have?" And start asking: "What is happening to the biology underneath it?" ️ Dr. Jeff & Friends OXIDATIVE STRESS: THE MASTER CLASS — PART 1 Featuring Dr. Dondee Nettles Watch the full episode and then share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation. And we're not finished. PART 2 is coming in two weeks.
