We all know sugar isn’t great for our health. But is all sugar created equal? In this eye-opening podcast, we speak with the team from RxSugar. Their company creates and promotes a healthy sugar called allulose. Yes, a healthy sugar!

Dr. Rick Johnson is a leading researcher on the hidden dangers of sugar. He discusses the impact of how sugar and fructose can hijack your cravings, fuel inflammation, and contribute to chronic disease. We also meet former Google Exec Neil Gyte. His personal journey toward metabolic health found him crossing paths with the science team at RxSugar. Neil joined their company and now continues his mission to make 1 billion people world-wide metabolically healthy while promoting the benefits of allulose. Listen in and enjoy this fascinating conversation!

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers.

At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
