What if We're Wrong About Diabetes?
Offered By: TED via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a thought-provoking TED talk that challenges conventional wisdom about diabetes and obesity. Follow Dr. Peter Attia's personal journey from a judgmental ER doctor to a researcher questioning the established understanding of these conditions. Discover how his own medical surprise led him to investigate whether the relationship between diabetes and obesity might be the reverse of what is commonly believed. Examine the possibility that precursors to diabetes could cause obesity, rather than obesity causing diabetes. Consider the implications of this perspective shift for medical research and treatment approaches. Gain insights into how assumptions can potentially misdirect medical efforts and the importance of reevaluating long-held beliefs in healthcare.
