Deep Dive into Hypertension and Insulin Resistance | Dr. Richard Johnson
Dr. Richard Johnson is a Professor of Medicine and Nephrology, and one of the most highly accomplished nephrologists and researchers in metabolic health. He is the highest cited researcher on fructose metabolism and its impact on metabolic health, kidney disease, and hypertension. His pioneering work has reshaped our understanding of how sugar, uric acid, and diet drive obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
He is also the founding editor of the leading textbook Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology. With over 83,000 citations, he has published landmark studies in the world’s most prestigious medical journals.
Beyond his scientific contributions, Dr. Johnson is the author of influential books including The Sugar Fix, The Fat Switch, and his latest work, Nature Wants Us to Be Fat, which explores how the biological “fat switch” triggered by fructose contributes to today’s epidemic of chronic disease.
