Simplex Health Physician Advisor Dr. Robert Lustig Launches Metabolical

AMBLER, Pa., July 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As our nation grapples with a progressively worsening health epidemic, a new book by New York Times bestselling author, pediatric neuroendocrinologist, and Simplex Health Physician Advisor Dr. Robert Lustig pulls back the curtain on Big Food and Conventional Nutrition's roles in perpetuating the chronic disease crisis.

In Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine, Lustig explains the inextricable links between nutrition, metabolic health, medicine, environment, and lifestyle – urging readers to fix our food and change the way we eat before it's too late. With keen insight and indisputable clinical data supporting his theories, Lustig breaks down the eight pathologies underlying chronic disease, why we as a nation have become so sick, and what we can do about it.

According to a study published in the Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders journal, seven out of eight Americans are metabolically unhealthy, putting them at greater risk for stroke, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other serious health issues. But conventional nutrition therapy's 'eat less, exercise more' rubric fails to address the underlying hormonal drivers at the root of most conditions. Lustig maintains that by focusing on consuming real food (versus processed) we can finally win the war on obesity, addiction, depression, and chronic disease.  

David Rambo, CEO and Founder of Simplex Health comments, "I created Simplex Health because of the barriers I encountered on my own personal journey to reverse my type 2 diabetes. Many physicians have, understandably, lost faith in dietetics' ability to produce positive patient outcomes. That's because the conventional 'eat less, exercise more' model fails to acknowledge insulin resistance as a common thread in most disease pathologies." He continues, "Simplex's clinically-proven therapies rail against the conventional dietetic approach by looking at the root cause of reversible chronic diseases. Through our work, physicians are now seeing that nutrition therapy, when executed correctly, works better and longer term than pharmaceutical interventions alone." He continues, "This book is the canary in the coal mine signaling the necessity for a seismic shift in healthcare – for traditional and functional medicine to work together to heal our nation."

Dr. Lustig comments, "As soon David approached me about being a Physician Advisor for Simplex, I knew it was a natural fit. Simplex's approach is the tactical execution of my theories – with protocols rooted in Functional Medicine that address and treat the root cause of chronic disease - not just the symptoms. Simplex Health is the company I would have started if David hadn't."

Metabolical is available wherever books are sold.
