Brief Summary
This video discusses the importance of metabolic reset and how it can help reverse risk factors for heart disease linked to obesity. Dr. Asim Malhotra, a cardiologist, explains his approach to metabolic reset, which involves a restrictive diet for a month followed by a gradual reintroduction of carbohydrates. The video also highlights the potential impact of this approach on public health, particularly in the United States, where a large portion of the population suffers from metabolic disease.

Metabolic Reset: A New Approach to Health
Dr. John Campbell introduces Dr. Asim Malhotra, a cardiologist who has been working on helping patients improve their lifestyles and reverse risk factors for heart disease. Dr. Malhotra's research and clinical experience have shown that dietary changes can lead to significant improvements in health within weeks. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding ultra-processed foods, which are defined as those containing five or more ingredients. Dr. Malhotra recommends a diet that focuses on unprocessed foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. He also suggests limiting carbohydrates, particularly refined carbohydrates like white bread, white rice, and white pasta.
Metabolic Reset: The Diet
Dr. Campbell explains the key components of Dr. Malhotra's metabolic reset diet. The diet involves eliminating all sugary and starchy foods that lack fiber for the first month. This includes sugar, white bread, pasta, and rice. The goal is to reduce sugar and carbohydrate intake as much as possible, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods. Dr. Malhotra emphasizes the importance of re-educating the palate to reduce cravings for sugary foods. He also suggests limiting alcohol consumption to three small glasses of dry white wine or seven single measures of white spirit per week.
Metabolic Reset: Practical Tips
Dr. Campbell provides practical tips for implementing Dr. Malhotra's metabolic reset diet. He suggests a breakfast of a berry smoothie or vegetable omelet, a lunch of a protein salad with unlimited vegetables, and an evening meal of a stir-fry with Japanese noodles or meatballs. He also emphasizes the importance of eating three meals a day with four to five hours between each meal and avoiding snacks. Dr. Campbell highlights the consistency between Dr. Malhotra's approach and the ideas of other leading doctors in the field, such as Tim Spector and Dr. Seil Dand.
Metabolic Reset: The Bigger Picture
Dr. Campbell discusses the broader implications of Dr. Malhotra's work. He emphasizes that the metabolic reset approach is not about controlling people's food choices but rather empowering them to make healthier decisions. He highlights the potential impact of this approach on public health, particularly in the United States, where a large portion of the population suffers from metabolic disease. Dr. Campbell concludes by playing a clip of Dr. Malhotra discussing his metabolic reset program, which aims to make healthy eating more accessible to everyone.
