Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook.

Join the Tribe Listen To Episode 741 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Accountability + Boundaries The essence of accountability. Boundaries are essential for self-love and healthy relationships. How much responsibility do we have to hold others accountable? Fear often prevents people from enforcing boundaries; fear is reframed as 'false evidence appearing real.' [03:45] Setting + Practicing Boundaries Boundaries are first set, then practiced; self-regulation and self-accountability are key. Letting go of the fear of 'burning bridges' is crucial when enforcing boundaries. Boundaries should be communicated clearly, especially in family and intimate relationships, where they are often hardest to enforce. Practicing boundaries with strangers or in low-stakes situations helps build skill and courage. [07:20] Learning from Broken Boundaries + Pain Pain from broken boundaries teaches self-love and integration. Rigid boundaries may block love and growth; flexibility and self-trust are needed. Repeated lessons occur until boundaries are internalized and enforced naturally without fear or anger. [09:45] Nonviolent Communication + Boundary Enforcement Boundaries can be enforced without shame or anger, using curiosity and dialogue. Public and private boundary enforcement share the same principles: identify the breach, ask questions, and seek shared outcomes. Role-play example demonstrates the 'rule of three' for boundary communication: verbalize the breach, bring curiosity, and co-create a result. Adding emotional context (how it makes you feel) enhances understanding and connection. [19:35] Emotional Regulation + Honesty Breath and presence are essential for emotional regulation during boundary conversations. Triggers are opportunities for growth; honesty about feelings creates clarity and speed in resolving issues. Slowing down communication and being honest about triggers or fears leads to better outcomes. Honesty is the foundation for clarity, which in turn enables faster resolution and connection. [24:40] Attachment Styles + the Path to Peace Speed in resolving conflict is a universal human desire, but true speed comes from honesty and clarity, not rushing. Attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) influence how people approach boundaries and connection. Sitting in honesty and clarity helps both attachment styles achieve harmony and connection quickly. Awareness is the starting point for all personal growth and boundary work; the series aims to nourish all aspects of self (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial).

Episode 189: Intermittent Fasting (Religious and Sports)Future Doctors Carlisle and Kim give recommendations about patients who are fasting for religious reasons, such as Ramadan. They also explain the benefits and risks of fasting for athletes and also debunked some myths about fasting. Dr. Arreaza add input about the side effects of fasting and ways to address them.    Written by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV (RUSM) and Kyung Kim, MSIV (AUC). Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction: In the last episode on fasting (#179), we explored how intermittent fasting (IF) can help manage type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, promoting weight loss, and lowering inflammation. We discussed the benefits of methods like 16:8 time-restricted eating and the 5:2 meal plan, and even compared IF to medications like metformin. Today, we're bringing that science into real life. We'll talk about how people fast for religious reasons, like during Ramadan, how athletes use IF to stay in shape, and how we can use IF as a tool in family medicine to support community health and A1c control.Intermittent Fasting in Religious PracticeRamadan just ended on 3/30/25, but this is a great time to talk about the broader role of fasting in religion and health. Many faiths incorporate fasting into spiritual practice and understanding this can help us better support our patients.Islam (Ramadan): Ramadan is a month where Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, focusing on spiritual reflection and self-control. No food or drink is consumed during daylight hours. Despite this, studies have shown that with good planning, fasting during Ramadan does not significantly impair physical performance or metabolic health.Key health tips for patients observing Ramadan:Hydrate well between iftar (sunset) and suhoor (pre-dawn).Break the fast with dates and water to gently replenish energy and electrolytes.Eat balanced meals with complex carbs, protein, and healthy fatsAvoid greasy, heavy foods right after fastingLight exercise (such as a walk) after iftar is beneficialReview medications with a healthcare provider, especially for those on insulin or sulfonylureas.For example: Metformin should be taken when you break your fast and then again before dawn. If its an extended-release metformin, take it at night. Metformin does not cause significant hypoglycemia and can be continued during Ramadan. Basal insulin is advised to be given at Iftar, and the dose should be reduced by 25-35% if the patient is not well managed. And regarding the fast-acting insulin, it requires a little more reading, so you can look it up and learn about it. Judaism: In Judaism, fasting is practiced on days like Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, typically lasting 25 hours without food or water. These fasts are spiritual and reflective, and patients with medical conditions may seek guidance on how to participate safely.Christianity: Many Christians fast during Lent, either by abstaining from certain foods or limiting meal frequency. Some practice partial-day fasts or water-only fasts for spiritual renewal.A branch of Christianity known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsoften observe a 24-hour fast on the first Sunday of each month, known as Fast Sunday, where they abstain from food and drink and donate the cost of meals to charity. This practice is both spiritual and communal.Cameron: Fasting for religious reasons, when done safely, can align with IF protocols and be culturally sensitive for diverse patients in family medicine.IF in Athletes and PerformanceIntermittent fasting is gaining popularity in the sports world. Athletes are using IF to improve body composition, increase fat oxidation, and enhance metabolic flexibility. A recent study, known as the DRIFT trial and published in Annals of Internal Medicine, found that fasting three non-consecutive days a week led to more weight loss than daily calorie restriction. Participants lost an average of 6.37 pounds more over 12 months.Why? Better adherence. People found the 3-day fasting schedule easier to stick to than counting calories every day.Benefits of IF for athletes:Encourages fat burning (via AMPK activation and GLUT4 upregulation, listen to ep. 179).Helps maintain lean muscle while reducing fat.No major drop in performance when meals and workouts are timed properly.What are some practical tips?Schedule workouts during or just before eating windows.Eat protein-rich meals post-workout.Avoid intense training during long fasts unless adapted.Stay hydrated, especially in hot environments or endurance sports.Broader Applications and Myths Around IFHormonal Effects of IF: In addition to improving insulin sensitivity, IF also affects hormones such as ghrelin (which stimulates hunger, remember it as growling) and leptin (which signals fullness). Over time, IF may help the body regulate appetite better and reduce cravings. IF can also decrease morning cortisol levels, the stress hormone. That's why it's important to monitor sleep, hydration, and stress levels when recommending IF.Circadian Rhythm Alignment: Emerging research shows that aligning eating times with natural light/dark cycles—eating during the day and fasting at night—can improve metabolic outcomes. This practice, known as early time-restricted eating (eTRE), has been shown to lower blood glucose, reduce insulin levels, and improve energy use. Patients who eat earlier in the day tend to have better results than those who eat late at night.Myths and Clarifications on IF:-“Fasting slows metabolism” In fact, short-term fasting may boost metabolism slightly due to increased norepinephrine. -“You can't exercise while fasting.” Many people can safely train during fasted states, especially for moderate cardio or strength training. -“Skipping breakfast is bad.” For some, skipping breakfast is a useful IF strategy—as long as total nutrition is maintained. You can break your fast at 2:00 pm, it does have to be at 7:00 AM.What to Eat When Breaking a FastBreaking a fast properly is just as important as fasting itself. Whether it's after a Ramadan fast or a 16-hour fast, the goal is to replenish energy gently and restore nutrients.Ideal foods to break a fast:Dates and water: provide quick energy, potassium, and fiberSoups: lentil or broth-based soups are gentle on digestionComplex carbs: whole grains like brown rice or oatsLean proteins: chicken, fish, eggs, legumesFruits and vegetables: hydrate and provide fiberHealthy fats: nuts, avocado, olive oilProbiotics: yogurt or kefir for gut supportBalanced meals with carbs, protein, and healthy fats help the body transition smoothly back to a fed state.Using IF in Family Medicine and Community HealthIntermittent fasting can be a practical, cost-effective strategy in family medicine. In areas with high rates of obesity and diabetes, like Kern County, IF offers a lifestyle-based tool to improve metabolic health, especially in underserved populations. IF is free!How IF can help in family medicine:Lower A1c levels: improves insulin sensitivity and glucose controlPromote weight loss: decreases insulin resistance and inflammationReduce medication dependence: fewer meds needed over time for some patientsEncourage patient engagement: flexible and easier to follow than strict calorie countingFit diverse lifestyles: aligns with religious and cultural practicesAddress food insecurity: structured eating windows can help patients stretch limited food resourcesHow to apply IF in clinic:Start the conversation by asking if the patient has heard of IFRecommend simple starting points: 12:12 or 14:10Emphasize hydration and nutrient-dense mealsMonitor labs and symptoms, especially in diabetic patientsAdjust medications to avoid hypoglycemiaProvide follow-up and patient education handouts if possibleWhat if a patient isn't ready to try fasting?For those not ready to commit to intermittent fasting, one effective alternative is walking after meals. A simple 10–20 minute walk post-meal can help stimulate GLUT4 receptors in skeletal muscle, promoting glucose uptake independent of insulin. This reduces the demand on pancreatic beta cells and may help improve blood sugar control over time. This strategy is particularly useful for patients with insulin resistance or early-stage type 2 diabetes.Conclusion: Intermittent fasting is not one-size-fits-all, but it can be a powerful tool for both individual and community health. From Ramadan to race day, IF has a place in family medicine when used thoughtfully. Encourage patients to work with their healthcare providers to find an approach that fits their lifestyle, medical needs, and personal values. IF is a cost-effective toolEven without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

During this week's Metabolic Classroom lecture, Ben explores the metabolic power of cold therapy, explaining how brief, controlled exposure to cold can significantly enhance metabolic function.He starts with a deep dive into brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is rich in mitochondria and burns calories to generate heat. Cold exposure activates BAT through norepinephrine, leading to mitochondrial uncoupling and energy expenditure without producing ATP. Interestingly, even white fat can be transformed into metabolically active “beige” fat, increasing thermogenesis.Dr. Bikman then moves into how shivering muscle activity contributes to thermogenesis. Unlike BAT, muscle contraction generates heat while performing work. Shivering triggers glucose uptake, improves insulin sensitivity, and releases irisin, a hormone that stimulates thermogenic activity in fat tissue. He also discusses AMPK activation, which plays a key role in facilitating this glucose-burning process.The lecture then highlights a series of hormones influenced by cold, including FGF21 and adiponectin, which boost fat oxidation, enhance insulin sensitivity, and promote mitochondrial biogenesis. Ben reflects on the broader role of the autonomic nervous system, emphasizing how cold therapy improves both sympathetic and parasympathetic function, promoting nervous system flexibility and resilience.Dr. Bikman wraps up by comparing cold exposure methods—from face immersion and cold showers to cryotherapy and full-body ice baths. He strongly endorses full-body cold water immersion as the most effective strategy, especially when shivering occurs post-immersion. His personal recommendation is the Morozko Forge ice bath (he has no vested interest in this company), citing its sustained metabolic impact and practical benefit. He closes by urging viewers to consider cold therapy as a scientifically grounded tool to support overall metabolic health.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references, we invite you to become a Ben Bikman Insider subscriber.

I denne episoden har vi Tommy Lundberg som gjest. Tommy jobber ved det Karolinska Institut som foreleser og forsker. Sammen med hans kolleger forsker han bl.a. på concurent training der han ser på hvordan utholdenhetstrening og styrketrening påvirker hverandre, og på transkjønns behandlingsmetoder og hvilke implikasjoner det kan ha for idrettslig deltakelse. Har 12 mnd testosteron-hemmende behandling en effekt på fysiske parametere som styrke og utholdenhet, slik at transkvinner og kvinner konkurrerer på samme grunnlag? Burde man løpe eller sykle dersom man vil unngå å miste styrke-"gainz"? Dette er et lite knippe av spørsmål som du vil få svar på i denne episoden! God lytting!Kontaktinformasjon:⁠https://ki.se/en/people/tommy-lundberghttps://twitter.com/tlexercise⁠⁠⁠https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tommy_Lundberg⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tlexercise/?hl=nb⁠Referanser:Lundberg, T.

Dr. Bikman's Metabolic Classroom lecture this week explores peptides and their effects on metabolism, fat loss, muscle growth, and overall health.Ben begins by defining peptides as short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. While some peptides occur naturally, others are synthetically developed for therapeutic purposes. He explains that peptides are gaining popularity in fitness, anti-aging, and metabolic health, influencing fat loss, muscle repair, insulin sensitivity, and even skin regeneration. He also introduces collagen peptides, highlighting their unexpected metabolic benefits, including their influence on GLP-1 and gut microbiome health.Ben then categorizes peptides based on their primary functions. For fat loss, peptides like CJC-1295 and Tesamorelin work by stimulating growth hormone and IGF-1, promoting fat breakdown while preserving muscle mass. Another peptide, Melanotan-2, originally known for increasing melanin, has been found to suppress appetite by affecting the melanocortin system. He also discusses peptides like Ipamorelin, which help enhance muscle recovery and growth by selectively increasing growth hormone secretion without affecting other pituitary hormones.In the anti-aging and skin health category, Thymosin Beta-4 stands out for its ability to enhance wound healing and tissue repair. Dr. Bikman also highlights the unexpected metabolic role of collagen peptides, explaining how they can increase GLP-1 levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and even activate AMPK, a crucial metabolic regulator involved in fat breakdown and cellular repair.Finally, he touches on how peptides are administered—most commonly via subcutaneous injections, though some peptides can be absorbed sublingually or applied topically.He cautions that not all peptides are created equal, warning against low-quality or counterfeit products. Ben emphasizes the need for high-quality sourcing and careful monitoring, as some peptides affect hormone levels and require medical supervision.Dr. Bikman concludes that peptides hold immense potential for metabolic health, fitness, and longevity, but should be used wisely and responsibly.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references referred to in this episode, we invite you to become a Ben Bikman Insider subscriber.

Dr Glenn McConell chats with Dr Tommy Lundberg from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He is an expert on resistance training (RT) and has focussed on the effect of concurrent training on exercise adaptations. That is, does doing concurrent resistance and endurance training affect the responses to resistance and endurance training compared to doing either alone. His research has specifically focused on the effects of endurance training on resistance training adaptations although we also discussed the effect of resistance training on endurance training adaptations. It appears that in many people concurrent training has either no interfering effect or may even be beneficial. However there is some limited research that endurance training, although not affecting hypertrophy, may reduce strength and/or speed of contraction. He has also done a lot of work on biological males been involved in female sports (which will be converted in a future podcast). I found it a very interesting chat. Enjoy! X: @TLexercise. 0:00.

Ever wondered how you can achieve the health benefits of fasting without actually abstaining from food? Join us as we explore this intriguing concept with Dr. Joseph Anton, CEO of L-Nutra. Dr. Anton introduces us to the innovative idea of physiological or cellular fasting, where specific nutritional choices can simulate the body's fasting state. We delve into the popularity and benefits of intermittent fasting, particularly the 16-hour fasting pattern, and examine how our bodies switch from glycogen depletion to fat burning and cellular rejuvenation through autophagy during extended fasting periods.In an insightful comparison, we pit fasting against the ketogenic diet, scrutinizing their molecular impacts on pathways like mTOR, AMPK, and RAS. Dr. Anton breaks down the complex stress response triggered by fasting, which not only downregulates growth pathways but also boosts growth hormone, leading to muscle rejuvenation and cellular autophagy. While the ketogenic diet has its merits, particularly for short-term benefits, it falls short of the deep cellular and longevity advantages that fasting offers. We highlight the importance of balanced, intermittent fasting approaches for achieving optimal health and longevity.We examine the transformative potential of the fasting mimicking diet through Prolon, a revolutionary product designed to maintain muscle while promoting fat loss. Dr. Anton shares the physical and mental perks, including enhanced energy, performance, mental clarity, and skin rejuvenation. We discuss how Prolon can seamlessly fit into long-term health plans, particularly for those with metabolic conditions, and even explore its potential for insurance coverage.

Does the diabetes drug metformin have an anti-aging effect?

Today's episode has me talking all about the critical role of estrogen in managing menopausal health and metabolism. We unravel common misconceptions, such as the idea that progesterone deficiency is the primary cause of menopausal symptoms, and discuss estradiol's influence on the thermoneutral zone. By maintaining estrogen levels within the "Goldilocks zone," we explore its impact on metabolic health, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Additionally, I explain estradiol's interaction with serotonin and dopamine, which affects mood and appetite regulation. I also emphasize the importance of hormonal balance, especially when considering hormone replacement therapy, and explore the roles of acylation stimulating protein and progesterone in fat storage.   In this episode: How estrogen plays a crucial role in metabolism during menopause. Why estradiol is significant in regulating the thermoneutral zone, affecting hot flashes. What the "Goldilocks zone" of estrogen is and why it's important to be within it. How estrogen dominance can lead to increased fat storage and insulin resistance. Why decreased estrogen levels increase the risk of metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. How estradiol supports insulin function and stabilizes blood sugar levels. The interaction of estradiol with cortisol and progesterone impacts glucose metabolism. How estradiol influences emotional well-being through serotonin and dopamine interaction. Why estradiol modulates appetite and satiety signals, aiding in weight management. The role of acylation stimulating protein in fat storage during the menstrual cycle. Why estradiol's activation of AMPK enhances energy expenditure and reduces appetite. How estradiol supports mitochondrial health, energy production, and muscle growth. Why maintaining estradiol levels is essential for reducing systemic inflammation. The potential benefits of estrogen replacement therapy in managing menopausal weight gain.   GET $400 OFF YOUR JASPR AIR PURIFIER FROM NOV 12th - 26th with coupon code hormonesolution!! https://jaspr.co/hormonesolution   Try Hormone Balance by Essentially Whole at https://drmariza.com/karen and use code KAREN10 at checkout for 10% off a one time purchase OR 20% for life with Subscribe and Save.   Get 10% off your UVB VItamin D Red Light Mitolux Box here with coupon code KM10!   Are you in peri or post menopause and looking to optimize your hormones and health?

Episode 179: Impact of intermittent fasting Impact on T2DMFuture Dr. Carlisle explains the physiology of fasting and how it can help revert type 2 diabetes. Dr. Arreaza adds details on how to do intermittent fasting. Written by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD, FAAFP.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.What is type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)?-Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and impaired glucose regulation. -This impaired regulation can lead to hyperglycemia, contributing to complications in a myriad of organs: heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, etc. (target organs). According to the CDC, more than 38 million Americans have T2DM (about 1/10 people). -Multiple mechanisms are believed to contribute to insulin resistance in obese patients with T2DM, such as increased lipid deposition throughout the body and systemic inflammation.What is Intermittent Fasting (IF)? Intermittent fasting (IF) has recently gained popularity as a dietary approach for health benefits, but it has been around for thousands of years. IF is an eating pattern that alternates between eating and fasting (no calories consumed) over a specific period of time. When you are fasting, you are allowed and encouraged to keep drinking water and non-caloric drinks, like coffee, tea, and even homemade bone broth.-According to the International Food Information Council Foundation (IFIC), 10% of Americans engage in IF daily. -According to Mark Mattson, a neuroscientist and IF expert for over 25 years, a mechanism called “metabolic switching” is seen with IF. This is when your body runs out of glucose and starts burning fat (i.e., fatty oxidation). These metabolic changes can help protect your organs and reduce the risk of chronic conditions, like T2DM. Common IF methods: Time-restricted eating: Most common method, involves eating within a specific time frame (e.g., the 16:8, 18:6, 12:12 method is also common.  [16:8 means you have 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating.]Alternate-day fasting: Alternating between fasting days and normal eating days.  [Find more info in The Complete Guide to Fasting, by Jason Fung, who is a nephrologist, he explains that alternate-day is basically eating every other day, which would give 36 hours of fasting, but if you are a beginner you can try a 24 hours fasting, in short, not eating breakfast any day of the week and having lunch 4 days a week, and dinner every night.]5:2 diet (aka periodic fasting): Maintaining a normal diet for 5 days, with 2 days (usually non-consecutive) of caloric restriction (25% of normal caloric intake; e.g., 500 calorie meal). IF is strongly believed to improve metabolic health in individuals with T2DM by reducing insulin resistance via increasing insulin sensitivity, promoting weight loss (patients with obesity and DM… AKA patients with diabesity), and enhancing lipolysis via fat oxidation.While fasting, the body goes through several phases that affect how energy is metabolized. Between 0 and 4 hours after eating, the body enters a feeding state, using glucose as its main energy source. After fasting for 12-16 hours, the body enters ketosis and starts to use fat for energy. Within 24-36 hours, autophagy begins, a process that recycles damaged cells and allows for cellular repair. This process can have great benefits for people with T2DM, such as improved insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation. Pathophysiology of Implementing IF in T2DM. -IF is thought to increase insulin sensitivity by decreasing fatty tissue in the body (i.e., visceral adipose tissue), which is correlated to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is defined as higher than normal circulating insulin levels needed for a glucose lower response, which is thought to be the culprit for the generation of T2DM. It means you need high levels of insulin to keep glucose normal. -Obesity is an important risk factor for T2DM. Visceral adipose tissue functions as an organ via the secretion of adipokines (cytokines or cellular messengers produced by adipose tissue): leptin and adiponectin. Leptin: proinflammatory, leading to chronic inflammation. Patients with higher BMI levels and increased insulin resistance were found to have increased leptin levels.[Leptin is a good hormone at normal levels, but there is leptin resistance] Adiponectin: anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects. Higher adiponectin levels result in decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis, enhanced glucose absorption, and enhanced skeletal muscle and hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Levels drop as visceral fat increases. -Dr. López-Jaramillo, a Colombian endocrinologist and researcher, and colleagues published a review in 2014 examining the imbalance in the levels of leptin and adiponectin in individuals with metabolic syndrome. This imbalance (increase in leptin and decrease in adiponectin) is linked to obesity and insulin resistance, which has been shown to increase the risk of T2DM. It has been shown that IF has resulted in the reduction of leptin levels and increased levels of adiponectin, which leads to decreased insulin resistance and increased insulin sensitivity. -IF allows pancreatic beta-cells to rest by not having to secrete insulin constantly. This allows the beta-cells of the pancreas to improve in function over time. In addition, IF has been shown to lead to noticeable weight loss and loss in body fat, both of which play an important contribution in managing T2DM. Research demonstrates that this weight loss increases insulin sensitivity and decreases the need for insulin therapy, making IF a powerful approach for improving metabolic health. AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) and Its Role in IF and T2DM Recent research has highlighted an important enzyme seen in IF, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which plays a vital role as an important energy sensor in cells. It is activated when cellular energy levels are low, such as during IF. A 2020 research study in Nature Reviews Endocrinology explains that activation of AMPK aids in suppressing gluconeogenesis and stimulates fatty acid oxidation, leading to optimal energy balance and reduction of visceral adipose tissue accumulation, a major contributor to insulin resistance and T2DM progression. AMPK is upregulated during fasting, which enhances glucose metabolism and reduces insulin resistance. This is imperative in managing T2DM, as it counters the effects of insulin resistance associated with T2DM.Exercise, which also promotes AMPK activation, complements IF and can promote a synergistic effect in improving insulin sensitivity and promoting fat burning, New Research Findings on IF and T2DM -The EARLY (Exploration of Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Overweight/Obese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) study is a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open (2024). Findings In this randomized clinical trial study found that a time-restricted eating window significantly improved fasting glucose levels and HbA1c levels in individuals with T2DM. The study examined the effect of a 16-week 5:2 meal replacement (5:2 MR) fasting plan that consisted of five days of normal eating and 2 days, nonconsecutive of restricted diet (500-600 calories). This group was examined alongside a group of patients who took metformin 0.5 g BID and empagliflozin 10 mg QD. The study wanted to investigate the changes in HbA1c in Chinese adults with early T2DM.-The study was a randomized clinical trial of 405 adults, and a study showed that the 5:2 MR approach led to better glycemic control at 16 weeks compared to the counter treatments with metformin and empagliflozin. The 5:2 MR group had the greatest reduction in HbA1c (-1.9%), followed by metformin (-1.6%), and empagliflozin (-1.5%). The 5:2 MR plan also revealed the greatest weight loss (-9.7 kg), followed by empagliflozin (-5.8 kg), and metformin (-5.5 kg). -This research suggests IF, such as 5:2 MR, can be a powerful tool in the management of T2DM and improving metabolic health. This study can potentially open doors for healthcare providers to provide the 5:2 MR approach for individuals as an effective initial lifestyle intervention. However, follow-up studies are needed to assess the effectiveness and durability of the 5:2 MR.Safety and Risks of IF in T2DM. -IF when combined with glucose-lowering medications (e.g., insulin, sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agonists) can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Also, prolonged fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies if not planned carefully. Patients should be counseled on maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet during non-fasting days. -IF is not suitable for everyone. Children under the age of 18 should not try IF due to needing proper calories for adequate development and proper growth. Also, it is recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women do not undergo IF. It is advised that people with eating disorders should not try IF. -Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as kidney stones or gastroesophageal disease should speak with their doctor before trying IF. Also, patients on insulin or other glucose-lowering medications should adjust their dose and talk with their healthcare providers to prevent hypoglycemia during fasting. It is recommended that each person speak with their doctor to discuss the safety and risks of IF and see if it would benefit the individual before starting IF. -Many studies have explored the benefits of IF at the micro level revealing its cellular benefits and on a macro level of the body as a whole. However, more research is needed to confirm the long-term effects of IF on glycemic control and its sustainability as a therapeutic approach for T2DM. Conclusion:-IF shows potential for improving glycemic control, promoting weight loss, and enhancing metabolic health in individuals with T2DM. Despite its benefits, IF may present with risks, such as hypoglycemia, nutrition deficiencies, or dehydration in certain patients. Therefore, it may not be suitable for all individuals. It's important to monitor patients who engage in IF, especially for patients with T2DM. Patients should follow up with their doctor for individualized IF plans in patients with T2DM. ______________This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Cameron Carlisle.

IL-11 is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a role in regulating various biological processes, including hematopoiesis (the production of blood cells), bone health and remodeling, and tissue repair. Meanwhile, cytokines act as messengers between cells, helping to regulate immune responses, inflammation, and the production of blood cells. In excess or when dysregulated, cytokines can contribute to chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. In this episode, Matt discusses the role IL-11 plays in the body, the ERK, AMPK, and mTOR pathways, genetic and pharmacological models of IL-11 reduction, and more. He goes over the paper's claims and provides his take on whether this finding is a game-changer in the longevity field as well as on what further questions he'd like to see answered in follow-up studies.

I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it. On this podcast I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!

This episode features Dr. David Harper, who will discuss the root cause of cancer and the nutrition protocols to starve cancer cells. Dr Harper will discuss the truth about cancer and why cancer is not a genetic disease. Dr. Harper will explain the gene mutations that occur from cancer cells and the science behind metabolic therapy to starve cancer cells, reduce tumor (carcinomas) size, and ultimately prevent cancer. Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, and additional resources: https://www.theprimal.com/lab/starve-cancer-cells-heal-the-body-with-nutrition Dr. Harper explains the three axes of what causes cancer, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and chronic inflammation, and the mechanism by which all three lead to chronic disease, which includes cancer but also many other chronic health conditions like dementia, heart disease, stroke, and obesity. Dr Harper will share the science behind the Ketogenic diet as a nutritional protocol to starve cancer cells and the role of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, MTOR, and AMPK in preventing cancer (via up-regulation and down-regulation of certain mechanisms). This episode is important for understanding how to actively treat cancer with nutrition, the science of metabolic therapy and mitochondria, and how to prevent cancer through lifestyle changes.

In this episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Ben Bikman explores the metabolic effects of estrogens, particularly their role in glucose metabolism.Estrogens, mainly produced in the gonads, play a crucial role in regulating blood glucose by enhancing insulin sensitivity. Dr. Bikman explained that estrogens improve insulin signaling through pathways such as PI3 kinase and AKT, which are essential for glucose uptake in muscle and fat tissues. Additionally, estrogens activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), further promoting glucose uptake and maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.Estrogens also suppress glucose production in the liver by inhibiting key enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, helping to prevent excess glucose release into the bloodstream. In contrast, progesterone decreases insulin sensitivity and promotes insulin resistance, counteracting some of estrogen's beneficial effects. This hormonal interplay affects glucose metabolism during the ovarian cycle, with estrogen-dominant phases being more favorable for glucose control.During menopause, the significant drop in estrogen levels leads to increased insulin resistance and shifts in fat storage, often resulting in more central fat accumulation. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can mitigate some of these changes, it comes with risks that need careful consideration. Ben emphasizes the significant role of estrogens in glucose metabolism and their broader impact on metabolic health, especially in women.https://www.insuliniq.com 01:19 - Overview of Estrogens and Progesterone02:20 - Cholesterol as the Precursor to Sex Hormones03:34 - The Role of Aromatase in Estrogen Production04:32 - Understanding the Family of Estrogens05:56 - Estrogens and Glucose Metabolism: Key Signaling Pathways06:54 - Insulin Signaling Pathway Overview08:57 - How Estrogens Enhance Insulin Sensitivity10:04 - The Role of AMPK in Glucose Uptake12:11 - Estrogens' Dual Mechanism in Regulating Glucose Levels13:18 - The Impact of Estrogens on Liver Glucose Production15:33 - Estrogens' Role in Suppressing Gluconeogenesis17:07 - Why Women Have Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes19:28 - Metabolic Effects During the Ovarian Cycle21:54 - Progesterone's Influence on Insulin Resistance and Fat Storage25:16 - The Shift in Fat Storage Patterns Post-Menopause26:16 - Hormone Replacement Therapy: Metabolic ConsiderationsPI3K activation leads to the phosphorylation of Akt, a key protein in glucose metabolism, which promotes the translocation of GLUT4 (glucose transporter type 4) to the cell membrane, facilitating glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S155041311930138X?via%3Dihub AMPK acts as an energy sensor and helps maintain cellular energy balance, which is crucial in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12013-015-0521-z Progesterone increases blood glucose levels by enhancing hepatic gluconeogenesis.

Ozempic and Wegovy, otherwise known as Semaglutide, are still a hot topic for weight loss. But what if there was a natural way to increase GLP-1 and get its benefits without the side effects? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explains what GLP-1 is and why it's so beneficial. He then shares the current research on many natural products showing significant benefits in this area and how he's going to utilize four specific supplements to work on his own GLP-1. You'll learn how these supplements work, why they may be a superior approach to the current pharmaceutical approach to using semaglutide, and how you can try them yourself.Products:Solaray Prosorb BerberineNatural Factors WellBetX BerberineTerry Naturally Red GinsengVital 5 Precision Probiotic Vital SporesVital Planet Vital Flora ProbioticsAdditional Information:#368: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Other Weight Loss Drugs - They're For Our Health Right?#227: VR Vintage: There is an Herbal Supplement that Works for Diabetes, Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Better than Drugs!

What's the deal with statin drugs and “high cholesterol”? Even doctors are starting to raise questions. They say that “high cholesterol” is anything over 200 total, but where does this number come from? Is there evidence that cholesterol over 200 actually leads to heart disease? Why do we need cholesterol, and is it possible for it to get too low? On this episode of Vitality Radio Jared arms you with the information you need to decide what to do, if anything, about your “high” cholesterol.  Pharmaceutical companies often develop drugs that target specific symptoms by interfering with the body's natural processes. These medications can be effective in providing temporary relief from symptoms, but they don't usually address the underlying causes of a condition. This is called suppressive medicine, and such treatments may offer short-term benefits at the cost of long-term health. In this series of episodes on suppressive medicine, Jared aims to help you understand the ways in which these drugs work and what natural alternatives there are that work WITH your body's natural systems to address the root cause and rebalance the body. Products:BerberineAdditional Information:#332: Cholesterol Controversy - Jared's Interview on Inside The Aisle with Niki WolfeVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalityradio and @vitalitynutritionbountiful on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

AMPK is said to serve as a “mitochondrial guardian.”

Amping AMP-activated protein kinase is one of the anti-aging pathways I cover in my longevity book, How Not to Age.

Angela welcomes Nichola Conlon to talk about the critical molecule NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and its importance for the human body. Nichola provides a comprehensive overview of NAD, highlighting its crucial roles in energy production within cells and as a signaling molecule for cellular maintenance and repair. Angela and Nichola also look into how NAD levels decline with age, impacting energy levels and cellular health, ultimately contributing to the aging process KEY TAKEAWAYS NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a crucial molecule for energy production in cells and acts as a signaling molecule for cellular maintenance and repair. NAD levels decline with age, starting from birth, and this decline is linked to reduced energy levels and impaired cellular maintenance and repair, contributing to the aging process. Intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and exercise are ways to positively impact NAD levels by creating an energy stress that activates the AMPK pathway, leading to increased NAD production. High-intensity interval training and fasting in a fasted state can further upregulate the AMPK pathway, enhancing the body's ability to produce NAD. The salvage pathway in cells is responsible for recycling NAD breakdown products, primarily nicotinamide, back into usable NAD. However, this pathway becomes dysregulated with age due to a decline in the enzyme NAMPT, leading to decreased NAD levels in older cells. BEST MOMENTS "NAD, I sometimes refer to it as probably the most important molecule that you've never heard of."  "From research that's been done, it seems like it declines from birth. So by the time you're age 20, you've kind of got half the amounts of NAD that you had when you were born."  "I think what's known is that any level of fasting really is going to start to actually increase your NAD levels." "So all the beneficial effects of exercise, fasting, et cetera, are happening because they're increasing the ability of our cells to use this salvage pathway."
