The results of Simon's gene tests are back and Simon's doctor explains how his genes contribute to his weight gain and diabetes. However, Simon learns that with the right diet and exercise detrimental genes can be down regulated. Simon gets a wakeup call when he goes to visit the diabetic ward in a major hospital. He meets patients who have lost their sight and their limbs. What he sees and hears shocks him - he thought diabetes was not that serious. Simon gets advice from the experts about how to eat and what sort of exercise he should be doing to treat his diabetes and burn off internal fat, and starts his regime. Simon goes to an ethnic market and asks an expert about the high rates of obesity and diabetes. H much of this in our genes, are some nationalities more likely to get fat for cultural or genetic reasons. He finds out poor people a more likely to be fat but it's not impossible to change things.  Simon visits a primary school in a poor part of town where they banned sugary drinks - soft drinks and fruit juices. Overnight children's behaviour improved, and they have got dramatically thinner. In Australia Simon talks to Dr Kieran O'Dea who showed took Australian Aboriginals back to live on their hunter gatherer diet and saw how diabetes reversed in just 2 weeks. The episode finishes on the streets of San Francisco where Simon looks for something healthy to eat that fits with his new diet recommendations.
