The Surgeon Defending Statins, GLP-1s, and Ancel Keys | Dr Terry Simpson

0:00My guest today is Dr.

0:01Terry Simpson, a bariatric surgeon, culinary medicine expert, and one of the loudest voices pushing back against health misinformation on the internet today.

0:11He calls himself the unfiltered MD, and as you'll hear in this conversation, that's not just a marketing line.

0:18Terry is a weight loss surgeon who, despite eating and promoting the Mediterranean diet, made the decision to start taking a GLP-1 medication himself.

0:28We get into what that's been like personally, what these drugs are actually doing in the body, the chronic diseases they appear to be reversing, the side effects, and so forth.

0:39We also spend real time on cholesterol, APOB, the criticisms of statins, the keto-CTA follow-up data, and Terry's thoughts on my own recent CT angiogram and the approach to medication I'm currently considering.

0:54With that, please enjoy my conversation with Dr.
