In this thought-provoking episode of the AT Last Podcast, we welcome Dr. Robert Lustig, internationally renowned pediatric endocrinologist, author, and one of the most outspoken voices on the dangers of sugar. Dr. Lustig unpacks how excess sugar consumption fuels chronic disease and why the food industry’s practices disproportionately harm communities of color.

The conversation highlights the intersection of nutrition, public health, and equity, revealing how access to healthy food is not only a medical issue but also a social justice one. From metabolic disease to the structural barriers that limit healthy choices, Dr. Lustig challenges us to rethink the systems that shape our diets.

This episode isn’t just about cutting sugar; it’s about understanding the broader fight for health equity in a society where profit too often outweighs people.
