Food on the Mind Podcast Episode 2: Dr Dr Tommy Wood

February 26, 2021
Loved the chance to get to sit down with my friend and one of the most charming people I know, PhD and MD Dr. Tommy Wood. Tommy is truly a multi-disciplinarian with his degree in medicine bolstered by his study of the human brain. He is also the resident statistician at BroResearch, helping us plebeians be a little bit less dmb when interpreting study data. He’s also heavily steeped in nutrition and has a deep understanding of the functional medicine world, both the good and not as good.

One of the things Tommy and I see eye to eye on is the idea of social responsibility. Be it BLM or social representation in higher ed and science or removing the stigma around weight, Tommy is very vocal that we have not only a societal but also personal responsibility to take care of our fellow humans. While this has lost him favor in some of the darker corners of the interwebs it has further endeared him to me and many others. It is in this spirit that we discuss how one can be healthy at every size, what that means, and what we need to do societally to help ensure a healthy populace regardless of race, gender or socio-economic status.

Dr Tommy Wood is one of my favorite people and I feel lucky to count him among my friends in the industry. I think you will probably be just as excited to hear him speak as everyone else who has had the pleasure. Plus, the English accent doesn’t ever hurt.

    Every Monday we wake up to a wrath of memes and graphics and pithy quotes designed to drive us forward from the comfort of our beds and into the battles that lie ahead (otherwise known as the work week). We are encouraged to #riseandgrind at 5am or some other ungodly hour.
