Dr. Gurpreet Padda is an interventional pain physician who treats patients with profound, chronic, severe pain that is unrelenting. Over time he worked out that there was more to these people’s pain than just the physical source of it and that it was also a systemic or metabolic inflammatory issue and that hyperinsulinemia was at the root of it. He found that the majority of his patients were obese and either pre-diabetic or diabetic. He found that the majority of them also had leaky gut as well. This was all caused by the standard American diet (SAD) i.e. vegetable oils, processed carbs and excessive sugar. He talks about how junk food companies manipulate the fructose concentration higher than regular fructose corn syrup in order to increase the addiction factor.
What he is doing in the community is astounding. They have over 65,000 active patients in their online program which is totally free and he even contributes more than a million dollars of his own money every year to the program.

Despite it being an essential response to infection and tissue injury, inflammation has also been associated with several pathological processes. Excessive acute inflammation causes tissue damage and non-resolving inflammation leads to chronic tissue malfunction, suggesting a delicate balance between the rapid and effective response to distresses in tissue homeostasis and the collateral damage on tissue function.
As a cluster, obesity, raised fasting plasma glucose, high cholesterol and hypertension comprise the metabolic syndrome.
Hyperinsulinemia (HI) serves as the common link between adipose tissue inflammation (ATI) and metabolic syndrome.
The obesity-associated metabolic phenotype elevated pro-inflammatory cells (M1 macrophages and NK-cells) suppressed anti-inflammatory cells (M2 macrophages, eosinophils, and regulatory T-cells).
Partial reduction of circulating insulin level attenuated excess calorie-induced ATI and improved insulin sensitivity.

When we reverse type 2 diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, and obesity, we are advocating for less medical intervention and more patient self-care.
Empowering the patient to manage a lifestyle disease with a lifestyle intervention does not result in a medical profit.
There is no financial incentive in the Business of Medicine, Big Pharma, or Big Food for this position.
It is obvious that big pharma and big food will not likely be supporting studies that reduce the utilization of their products over non-compensable lifestyle changes. Evidence-based academic research is also unlikely to be performed by academicians who are funded by these same interests. The entire health delivery industry seems to be geared towards medicalization of treatment rather than lifestyle improvement, which would radically disrupt the status quo. “doctors who got money from drug and device makers—even just a meal—prescribed a higher percentage of brand-name drugs overall than doctors who didn’t” and “the more money doctors receive…the more brand-name drugs they tend to prescribe.” Ornstein C, Jones RG, Tigas M. Now there’s proof: docs who get company cash tend to prescribe more brand-name meds.
