In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Dr. Jeff Pua, an internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, about obesity medicine, metabolic syndrome, nutritional ketosis, and what clinicians can learn from patient outcomes in everyday practice. Dr. Pua shares how his approach has evolved from relying only on broad research categories to also paying close attention to individual patient experiments, blood tests, and lived experience. In his practice, he sees patients improve not only in weight and metabolic markers, but also in mood, mindset, mental sharpness, and confidence as they begin to see measurable changes in their own health. They cover: How obesity medicine is evolving beyond the number on the scale Why metabolic syndrome is a major focus in Dr. Pua’s practice How N-of-1 patient data can help clinicians personalize care What blood tests can reveal about real-world metabolic improvement Why nutritional ketosis can be a helpful benchmark for some patients How nutrition, physical activity, and behavior change work together Why exercise may become more accessible once metabolic health improves This conversation offers a clinician’s view of how metabolic health care can become more personalized, measurable, and empowering for patients. 👉 Want to stay up to date with the latest research on metabolic health and metabolic psychiatry?
