I'm kicking off the new year with an episode about stretching our comfort zones through small, intentional practices that help us live with more clarity, resilience, and purpose.In this episode, I explore:* Why the idea of “doing hard things” isn't new at all—and how it's rooted in Stoic philosophy* What thinkers like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius actually meant by hardship (hint: it wasn't suffering for suffering's sake)* How we can manifest this ancient practice in our modern lives* Why trends like cold plunges miss the point if we focus only on promised (and alleged) health benefits* How Dry January fits perfectly into this framework—not as a detox or moral stance, but as an experiment in awareness, habit, and choiceI also reflect on looking back at 2025—what I learned, what I practiced, what I shared with you—and why I still believe that setting intentions (whether for 24 hours or 365 days) is a powerful way to orient our lives.If you're feeling curious about:* Doing something different this year* Letting go of what's familiar just long enough to learn from it* Or giving yourself a gentle nudge instead of a total overhaul…this episode is for you.

Metformin is a widely prescribed Type 2 diabetes drug that works by lowering liver glucose production and improve insulin sensitivity A 16-week Rutgers trial in 72 adults found that metformin dulled exercise benefits, reducing the usual improvements in aerobic fitness Long-term risks for prolonged metformin use include vitamin B12 deficiency, rare lactic acidosis, and hypoglycemia Skipping breakfast, not getting enough sleep, consuming too much alcohol, and social isolation can greatly disturb glucose regulation and increase the risk of developing diabetes over time Lifestyle strategies such as consistent movement, and a bioenergetic, nutrient-dense diet can support insulin sensitivity. Berberine may also help to slowly wean you off metformin medication

In this episode, Robin Steele speaks with researcher and author Anthea V. Hayes for a conversation on vitamin B12 that challenged long-held assumptions and surprised even the host. What begins as a discussion about nutrition quickly turns into an examination of the origins of B12, how it entered modern medicine, and why many claims surrounding its necessity and therapeutic reputation deserve closer scrutiny. Anthea shares the results of years of independent research that began in 2017, after she grew increasingly skeptical of the sweeping claims made about vitamin B12's essentiality for vegans and its portrayal as a near-miraculous solution to a wide range of health issues. Together, Robin and Anthea explore historical inconsistencies, industrial influence, and overlooked context that rarely appear in mainstream nutrition discussions. This episode is not about telling listeners what to take or what to avoid. It is about understanding what vitamin B12 actually is, where it comes from, and what people are truly consuming. If B12 feels like a settled topic, this conversation may change that perception. Anthea V.

"Should you get routine blood work?" seems like a straightforward question, but the answer lies in understanding how our bodies process nutrients and when testing actually provides meaningful information. Nutrient deficiencies can be surprisingly sneaky, calcium deficiencies might take decades to show up in blood tests while silently damaging bone health, and even B12 deficiencies can remain hidden for 6-12 months before symptoms emerge.For those following or transitioning to plant-based diets, there's particular interest in monitoring nutritional status, but ordering "everything" on a blood panel isn't always the right approach. When we test without specific reasons, we often find incidental fluctuations that trigger unnecessary follow-up procedures, creating anxiety and straining healthcare resources. A better strategy is targeted testing based on your specific risk factors, symptoms, and dietary patterns. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those taking medications like metformin or regular antacids, people with relevant family histories, and anyone on restrictive diets might benefit from more comprehensive screening.Before reaching for the needle, consider tracking your nutrition through tools like the Canadian Food Guide, Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist, or apps like Cronometer to identify potential gaps. When testing makes sense, a complete blood count and metabolic profile provide foundational information, while specific nutrient tests can be added based on individual needs. Remember that for plant-based eaters, B12 supplementation remains essential regardless of blood test results, some deficiencies simply take too long to appear in testing. The ultimate goal isn't just finding problems after they develop but preventing them through varied, nutrient-dense foods and lifestyle habits that support overall health.

What if the reason your body is changing has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with physiology, recovery and time?In Part Two of this powerful conversation, Tom Nikkola returns to dismantle some of the most persistent myths around metabolism, weight, hormones and healthy ageing. If you have ever wondered why your body responds differently as you get older, why shifting from high intensity to strength training feels confusing, or why “quick fixes” rarely work, you will find clarity here. Tom explains why many people temporarily gain weight when transitioning away from high intensity exercise, how glycogen and calorie demand shift and why the body can take up to a year to settle into a new training style. He also unpacks the complex hormonal changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause, the role of bioidentical hormones and why sustainable results require patience rather than urgency. Other key topics include:Why social media messaging about instant results harms real peopleHow to recognise the difference between outliers and realistic expectationsThe interaction between MTHFR, detoxification and gut functionCOMT, B12 metabolism and why some people become anxious on methylated B vitaminsThe value of saliva-based genetic testing and why testing beyond MTHFR mattersWhy nature time, sleep and strength training outperform almost every “biohack”Tom also shares the “one thing” approach from the book The One Thing, which radically simplifies health into the most impactful daily actions: high protein intake, regular resistance training, quality sleep and time outside.

In this episode of The Eric Bach Show, Eric breaks down seven specific foods that make losing stubborn belly and visceral fat easier—not by “magic,” but by improving insulin sensitivity, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, and hormone balance. You'll learn how to build meals that keep you full, support longevity, and help you look great naked… without starving yourself or living in the gym. Why the same foods that help you get leaner also protect your brain, mitochondria, DNA, and cardiovascular system as you age. The 7 Foods Eric Breaks DownCoffeeBoosts metabolic rate (roughly 3–11% in studies).Increases fat oxidation during exercise and can blunt appetite earlier in the day.Loaded with polyphenols like chlorogenic acid that support liver health, reduce oxidative stress, and may lower risk of neurodegenerative disease—as long as you're not turning it into a 500-calorie dessert drink. Lean Beef or Bison (93–95% lean)High-protein, nutrient-dense source with iron, zinc, B12, creatine, and some omega-3s (especially in grass-fed and bison).Higher protein = more thermogenesis, more satiety, better lean-mass retention in a deficit.CLA and omega-3s are linked to reductions in visceral fat and improved metabolic health. Wild BlueberriesImprove insulin sensitivity and help stabilize blood sugar, reducing cravings.High in fiber plus powerhouse antioxidants and polyphenols (anthocyanins) that support brain health, BDNF, and mitochondrial protection.Wild varieties can have 2–3x the antioxidant load of regular blueberries. Broccoli (and other crucifers)Ultra high volume, low-calorie, fiber-rich—great for appetite control and blood sugar stability.Rich in sulforaphane, which activates NRF2 (your body's “master antioxidant switch”) to support detoxification, lower inflammation, and protect DNA from damage. Greek Yogurt (2% or Non-Fat)High in protein to preserve muscle and support metabolism during fat loss.Probiotics support gut health, digestion, inflammation, and immune function.Fermented dairy is linked to better microbiome diversity and improved longevity markersLeafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Arugula, Romaine, etc.)Low-calorie, high-volume, packed with folate, vitamin K, magnesium, nitrates, and antioxidants.Support insulin sensitivity, stress management, cardiovascular health, and nitric oxide (better blood flow, performance… and erections).Simple habit: a “big-ass salad” at dinner most nights. Wild-Caught SalmonElite combo of high-quality protein and omega-3 fats (EPA + DHA).Helps improve insulin sensitivity, lower systemic inflammation, and reduce cardiovascular risk by ~25–35% in some research.Supports brain function, mood, joint health, and telomere protection—huge for longevity and preserving leanness as you age. Big TakeawaysYou don't need “fat-burning foods”—you need fat-loss friendly foods that make a calorie deficit sustainable.Focus on foods that either had a face or came from the ground: protein + fiber + micronutrients beat pills, potions, and powders.Start by consistently adding 2–3 of these foods into your daily rotation, then build from there. Who This Episode Is ForAnyone struggling with stubborn belly fat despite “eating
Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, nervous system function, and overall metabolic health, but not all B12 forms deliver equal bioavailability or stability. In Episode #196 of the PricePlow Podcast, we welcome back HTBA (HealthTech BioActives) for a comprehensive deep dive into the science behind their MecobalActive methylcobalamin ingredient and the groundbreaking clinical study that validates its efficacy in athletes who are not deficient. Joining us are Teresa Pellicer, PhD, Pharmacologist and R&D Manager in Biotechnology at HTBA, and Bernardo Gonzaga, Global Division Manager for Functional Health Solutions. This conversation builds on Episode #188 with Edwin Gonzalez, where we explored practical applications of MecobalActive in functional foods. Today, we go deeper into the molecular mechanisms, clinical evidence, bioavailability data, and manufacturing innovations that make MecobalActive a next-generation B12 solution for supplements, functional foods, and beverages. Teresa’s expertise in pharmacology and molecular biology shines as she explains why methylcobalamin represents the biologically active form your body actually uses, while Bernardo provides industry context on applications, regulatory considerations, and market opportunities.

Jet lag isn't just about time zones—it's an inflammation problem you can solve. We sit down with Andrew Herr, founder and CEO of FlyKitt and former human performance strategist at the Pentagon, to unpack why flights drain you and how to land clear-headed, calm, and ready to sleep on night one. Andrew connects dots most travelers miss: rapid cabin pressure shifts mimic an 8,000-foot ascent, low-oxygen air boosts oxidative stress, and sleep debt compounds immune activation. The fix starts with managing inflammation, then using light, timing, and targeted supplements to shift your circadian rhythm on command.We go deep on what actually makes you feel lousy in the air—swollen legs, brain fog, gut issues—and how to counter it with simple, scalable steps. Andrew reveals how FlyKitt's app personalizes a plan from six questions, no lab work needed, and why fasting can help but isn't required when you address the root causes. We unpack diet basics that move the needle for most travelers (more protein, more vegetables, less sugar and ultra-processed foods), common deficiencies like omega-3s and B12, and the surprising link between inflammation and anxiety many noticed after COVID. You'll also hear how elite performers—from special operations to pro sports teams—use these strategies, including a pro team's world tour that saw a 94% reduction in jet lag symptoms.If red eyes usually wreck your next day, you'll get a blueprint to make them productive. If domestic hops leave you foggy, you'll learn a short protocol that protects your energy and digestion. Along the way, Andrew shares field stories—from Iceland's Spartan Ultra to time with Kazakh eagle hunters—that highlight how resilience is built with smart stress, timing, and recovery.

Esel: Sag mal, Teddy, wollen wir das Thema heute wirklich noch aufmachen? Mir ist das ehrlich gesagt Banane. Teddy: Jetzt spiel nicht das sortierte Studentenfutter. Hier geht's um B12, da kann man nicht einfach so tun, als wäre nichts. Esel: Na gut, aber eins sag ich dir gleich: Alles hat ein Ende, und wenn wir hier nicht aufpassen, drehen wir uns im Kreis wie ne Spiralkartoffel. Teddy: Möglich. Trotzdem solltest du nicht gleich eine Extraportion Mandeldrink verlangen, nur weil dir der erste Gedanke nicht schmeckt. Esel: Ach komm, sonst heißt es wieder Rache ist Nuss, und am Ende mache ich dich noch zur Falafel. Teddy: Das würde ich an deiner Stelle lassen. Du versuchst dich hier doch gerade nur durchs Sojahack zu mogeln. Esel: Mag sein. Aber ich sehe schon wieder deine Gurkentaktik: erst kleine Scheiben, dann plötzlich das große Ganze. Teddy: Wenn du so weitermachst, fange ich an, die Durian zu riechen. Irgendwas stinkt doch hier. Esel: Jetzt laber mir nicht Datteln ans Ohr. Du wohnst doch gedanklich sowieso schon im Tempura-Ring. Teddy: Besser als ständig drum herumzureden. Also: ran an die Fritten! Esel: Moment, bevor wir loslegen, sollten wir die Sache vielleicht noch wie Tofu auspressen und alles rausholen, was drinsteckt. Teddy: Einverstanden. Aber danach ist wirklich Schluss. Mir ist das dann wieder völlig Banane. Esel: Abgemacht. Und wenn nicht, weißt du ja: Rache ist Nuss.

In Episode 1114 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards shares practical health tips for saving money on insurance amid rising costs. He recommends switching to a "major medical" or emergency-only policy (e.g., through agents like Jamie Creel at Shelter Insurance) to cover catastrophic events like cancer or hospital stays, while ditching comprehensive plans with copays for routine care, which he calls a "big rip-off" since cash prices are often cheaper. For everyday needs, he suggests a $200/month membership at Men's Health and Women's Wellness of Mississippi (or similar clinics like New Care) for unlimited doctor's visits, prescriptions, and low-cost treatments (e.g., $10-30 for shots like Decadron, Rocephin, and B12 for sinus infections). He advises using independent pharmacies (e.g., Brandon Discount Drugs or Flora Drugs) as cash customers for better deals on meds, avoiding big chains, and utilizing free GoodRx cards or coupons to beat insurance prices—potentially saving hundreds monthly by piecing together these options for a total around $400/month all-in. Edwards emphasizes shopping around, assuming good health, and building personal doctor relationships for a more efficient, less "assembly-line" experience, noting it's not ideal for those on expensive specialty meds like cancer treatments.
In this supplement spotlight episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you will learn why folate is one of the most essential nutrients for women with PCOS—especially when it comes to hormone balance, mood support, and fertility. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, currently expecting, or simply aiming to improve your hormone health, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about folate, including how it works in the body and why not all forms of folate are beneficial.Folate's Role in Fertility, Hormone Balance, and MethylationYou will discover how folate, also known as vitamin B9, supports healthy ovulation, egg quality, and early fetal development, making it a critical nutrient before and during pregnancy. Beyond fertility, folate plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell repair, red blood cell production, and hormone metabolism. You'll also learn how it helps reduce elevated homocysteine levels, which are often linked to inflammation and miscarriage risk in women with PCOS.Why the Form of Folate Matters: Folic Acid vs. L-MethylfolateIn this episode, you'll explore the common MTHFR gene mutation that affects up to 60% of women and learn why folic acid, the synthetic form found in most prenatal vitamins, may not be effective for many individuals. You'll discover why L-methylfolate or 5-MTHF is the preferred and most bioavailable form, especially for those with MTHFR mutations, and how unmetabolized folic acid can actually increase hormone imbalances, fatigue, and inflammation.How to Choose a Quality Folate SupplementYou'll gain practical guidance on how to read supplement labels, which forms of folate to look for, and what to avoid. This episode breaks down recommended dosages and explains why methylated B-complex or prenatal formulas that include B6, B12, and L-methylfolate are often the most effective. You'll also get tips on how to identify reputable brands and ensure your supplements are third-party tested for safety and effectiveness.Final Thoughts on Folate and PCOSThis episode wraps up by emphasizing that folate is not just a fertility supplement, it's a foundational nutrient that supports many aspects of PCOS healing. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of why folate matters, how to choose the right form and dose, and how to integrate it into your holistic hormone health plan. Be sure to check out the free PCOS Supplement Guide linked in the show notes and consult your healthcare provider for personalized support.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause herePCOS Supplement GuideLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-176

This podcast is listener-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In this episode of Food for Thought, I explore the long, often-forgotten history of abstaining from meat during Advent and other Christian fasting periods, and how that tradition actually aligns beautifully with a modern vegan lifestyle.Drawing from my own Catholic upbringing, I look at how rites and rituals like Lent and Advent once emphasized simplicity, self-restraint, and giving up animal products, and how language, church rules, and holiday foods still carry traces of that history.I also invite listeners—religious or not—to consider their own version of conscious “fasting,” and I touch on traditional Advent/Christmas foods like Stollen that grew out of these practices.Here's the video version of the introduction to the re-broadcast:In this episode, you'll learn:* Historically, Christians spent more days not eating meat (and often other animal products) than eating it, especially around Lent and Advent.* The idea that being vegan is “incompatible” with culture or religion is new; religious abstinence from animal products is centuries old.* Words like “Carnival” (from carne levare – “remove meat”) and traditions like Meatfare/Cheesefare Sundays reflect this meatless history.* Advent used to be a serious season of fasting and abstinence, not just a time of treats, shopping, and countdown calendars.* Different Christian traditions (especially Eastern and Ethiopian Orthodox) still practice very strict, essentially vegan fasts for many days of the year.* Over time, church rules relaxed, and meat-eating became normalized and constant, while fasting became optional or symbolic.* You don't have to be religious to embrace the spirit of fasting: you can choose to simplify your diet, give something up (like alcohol, sugar, eating out, or processed foods), and let the feast feel more meaningful at the end.* Many beloved holiday foods—like Stollen, fruitcake, and other Advent breads and sweets—arose from these traditions of fasting, scarcity, and then feasting.* Part 2 will dive into Christmas feasting and traditional foods tied to the 12 Days of Christmas and Twelfth Night.Support the PodcastTo keep Food for Thought Podcast ad-free and accessible to all, I rely on the support of paid subscribers.

Exam Room Nutrition: Nutrition Education for Health Professionals
GLP-1 medications are changing the game in obesity care. Patients are losing weight, feeling full faster… and often eating less overall. But less food can also mean less muscle, unless we guide them toward the right nutrition. In today's episode, we unpack how clinicians can better counsel patients using anti-obesity meds, and how nutrient-dense, affordable options like pork can support satiety, muscle maintenance, and sustainable weight loss. In this episode, we cover: How GLP-1 medications affect hunger, fullness, and food preference What makes a protein “high quality” — and why that matters for preserving lean mass How pork compares to other proteins like chicken, tofu, and beef when it comes to: Nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, iron, and thiamin Satiety and fullness Affordability and accessibility How to assess whether a patient is meeting protein needs — even with a reduced appetite The “Pork + Plants” strategy and why pairing protein with fiber supports GLP-1 success This episode is brought to you by the National Pork Board's Pork & Partners healthcare professional community, helping clinicians reframe the role of lean pork in a healthy diet.

In Episode 175 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. A talks with neuroscientist and MitoQ Chief Science Officer Dr. Siobhan Mitchell about one of the most powerful — and overlooked — drivers of women's health after 40: mitochondrial function. She shares how her grandmother's Alzheimer's diagnosis inspired her career and why the latest science points to mitochondria, oxidative stress, and “inflammaging” as core players in memory, energy, and healthy aging.You'll learn how exercise, smart intervals, fasting, MCT oils, CoQ10, vitamin C, and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants like MitoQ can help your cells produce cleaner energy, recover faster, and better protect your brain, heart, and muscles. Dr. Mitchell also breaks down what human studies actually show about MitoQ and other mitochondrial supports like PQQ, NAC, and NAD boosters.If you're a busy mom or midlife woman who wants steady energy, clearer thinking, and stronger training results without burning out your system, this conversation will give you a science-backed roadmap.Key TakeawaysMitochondria = powerhouses and “CEOs” of the cellOxidative stress & “inflammaging” drive faster agingBalance matters: not too much, not too little mitochondrial activityExercise (especially intervals) trains mitochondrial resilienceFasting & ketones trigger autophagy and longevity pathwaysMCTs (especially C8/C10) support ketones and brain functionCoQ10 is essential but poorly delivered into mitochondria via standard supplementsMitoQ = mitochondria-targeted CoQ10 derivative with human dataStudies: better power output, recovery, and less exercise-induced DNA damageVitamin C, magnesium, B12 often need supplement support with ageNAC, PQQ, NAD boosters, and urolithin A: promising but mixed dataNo magic bullets: stack smart supplements on top of fundamentalsMore About MitoQ and Dr. Siobhan MitchellWebsite: https://www.mitoq.com/Use code FITFAMILY at checkout for 10% off your purchaseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MitoQ/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitoq/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MitoQHealthX: https://twitter.com/Mito_QTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mitoqPodcast: Cell Me About It https://open.spotify.com/show/2Bbc0Oi5ypbui2voVpnCxf?si=40f849b961d041ffDr. Siobhan Mitchell's Email: smitchell@mitoq.comBiographical Information on Dr. Siobhan MitchellDr. Siobhan Mitchell, PhD is the chief scientific officer of MitoQ with over 25 years of research experience in how nutrition impacts brain aging, metabolic health, and longevity.

In Episode 266 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. A sits down with neuroscientist and MitoQ Chief Science Officer, Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, to unpack one of the deepest levers of health for men over 40: your mitochondria. You'll hear how her grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's led her into decades of research on aging, “inflammaging,” and why mitochondrial function sits at the root of brain health, energy, and longevity.Together, they break down how exercise, fasting, MCT oils, CoQ10, vitamin C, and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants like MitoQ can make the workouts and nutrition you're already doing more effective. You'll learn what the science actually shows in human trials — from better power output and faster recovery to less exercise-induced DNA damage and improved blood vessel growth in working muscles.If you're a busy man who wants more consistent energy, stronger training results, and better protection for your heart, muscles, and brain as you age, this is an essential listen.Key Takeaways:Mitochondria = powerhouses and “CEOs” of the cellOxidative stress & “inflammaging” drive faster agingBalance matters: not too much, not too little mitochondrial activityExercise (especially intervals) trains mitochondrial resilienceFasting & ketones trigger autophagy and longevity pathwaysMCTs (especially C8/C10) support ketones and brain functionCoQ10 is essential but poorly delivered into mitochondria via standard supplementsMitoQ = mitochondria-targeted CoQ10 derivative with human dataStudies: better power output, recovery, and less exercise-induced DNA damageVitamin C, magnesium, B12 often need supplement support with ageNAC, PQQ, NAD boosters, and urolithin A: promising but mixed dataNo magic bullets: stack smart supplements on top of fundamentalsMore About MitoQ and Dr. Siobhan MitchellWebsite: https://www.mitoq.com/On December 1st, go to https://www.mitoq.com/ for a special Cyber Monday offerAfter December 1st, go to https://www.mitoq.com/ and use code FITFAMILY at checkout for 10% off your purchaseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MitoQ/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitoq/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MitoQHealthX: https://twitter.com/Mito_QTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mitoqPodcast: Cell Me About It https://open.spotify.com/show/2Bbc0Oi5ypbui2voVpnCxf?si=40f849b961d041ffDr. Siobhan Mitchell's Email: smitchell@mitoq.comBiographical Information on Dr. Siobhan MitchellDr. Siobhan Mitchell, PhD is the chief scientific officer of MitoQ with over 25 years of research experience in how nutrition impacts brain aging, metabolic health, and longevity.

Today is a little different...I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really happening inside your body during this stage of life—and what most women are never told. If you're in your 40s (or even your late 30s) and you've wondered, "Is this perimenopause… or is something actually wrong with me?" this conversation is for you. As I've moved into my forties myself, and having worked with hundreds of women in this phase, I've become even more aware of how much confusion and noise surrounds this transition. Perimenopause has almost become a buzzword, but very few women understand what it truly is, how long it can last, or why two women the same age can have completely different experiences. I share my own reflections—the way I think about aging, how I look at my life in five-year chapters, and what I want the next decades to look like—not from fear, but from clarity. Inside this episode, I take you behind the scenes of what's happening hormonally: why menopause is defined as a full 12 months without a cycle, what perimenopause actually means, and why your hormone levels don't simply "step down" in a neat little staircase (even though I wish it worked that way!). Instead, it's more like a roller coaster—one that affects mood, energy, weight, sleep, and stress far more than most people realize. And here's the part most women never hear: sometimes what feels like perimenopause isn't perimenopause at all. It's adrenal fatigue. It's stress. It's chronic under-fueling. It's a testosterone drop from years of dieting. It's nutrient deficiencies—like the woman I talk about in this episode who had no idea she was severely B12 deficient until we tested. These things mimic perimenopause almost perfectly, and if you don't know what you're looking at, you can't fix it. That's why I also walk through the kind of testing that actually gives answers—specifically DUTCH testing—and why it's so valuable in understanding estrogen metabolism, progesterone patterns, cortisol, stress response, nutrient status, and more. When you see the full picture, you stop guessing… and you finally know how to support your body through this phase of life. If you've been feeling stuck, confused, or like your body has changed faster than your habits have, this episode will help you reconnect the dots. Because yes—your hormones are shifting. Yes—your needs are changing. But this transition is not something to fear. It's something to understand, so you can move through it feeling grounded, supported, and at home in your body again. If this episode resonated, you'll want to join my mini podcast series, Perimenopause: What it is, What it's not, and What you can do about it This free, short-form series goes even deeper into: • the real signs of perimenopause • the symptoms that aren't perimenopause (but often get blamed on it) • why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed • what your hormones should be doing in your 40s • how adrenal function plays a bigger role than anyone tells you • the testing that brings all the answers into one place • practical steps to support your metabolism, mood, and energy right now If you want clarity—real clarity—on where you are in the transition and what your body is asking for, click the link and get immediate access.

Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates. Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label. Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function. Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – Even the highest-quality vitamins won't work if your gut can't absorb them. The Good Poops Protocol is designed to repair and support your digestive tract, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and breakdown.

Send us a textMost people think memory loss is a downhill slide you can't stop. We don't. In this conversation with neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi, we map out a twelve‑week blueprint that measurably improves memory, focus, and even grows hippocampal volume by targeting the real drivers of decline: poor sleep, chronic stress, insulin resistance, hearing loss, inactivity, and hidden medical issues.Dr. Majid Fotuhi is a pioneering neurologist, neuroscientist, and professor with more than thirty-five years of experience in brain health, memory, neuroplasticity, and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. His work bridges research, clinical innovation, and public education.He earned his PhD in neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University, completed medical training at Harvard Medical School, and returned to Johns Hopkins for his neurology residency. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University.An author and communicator, Dr. Fotuhi has written several books and is known for making complex science accessible. His excellence in teaching earned him the American Academy of Neurology's prestigious award. His research has appeared in peer-reviewed journals, been presented at major conferences, and cited widely by scientists worldwide.Dr. Fotuhi has created a twelve-week program that has helped thousands of patients with memory loss, brain fog, concussion, mild cognitive impairment, and early Alzheimer's disease. His expertise has been featured by CNN, NBC News, the Today Show, ABC News, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Times (London).We start by clarifying what mild cognitive impairment is, how it differs from dementia, and why so many cases are preventable. Dr. Fotuhi explains the “type 3 diabetes” model—how decades of sugar spikes and inflammation erode the blood‑brain barrier and starve neurons of a stable environment. Then we get practical. You'll hear how a personalized “brain portfolio” guides treatment: VO2 max testing to shape exercise, sleep studies and CPAP when needed, targeted brain training that matches deficits, and labs for vitamin D, B12, and omega‑3 status. The results? Early wins in two to three weeks, statistically significant gains at six and twelve, and habits that stick.We don't stop at diet and steps. Oral health impacts cognition by limiting whole foods and increasing inflammation; chewing itself engages neural circuits. Hearing loss quietly accelerates decline—hearing aids can move people from mild impairment back to normal. Add a simple, sustainable food approach—ditch ultra‑processed foods, eat vegetables, legumes, fruits, quality proteins, and healthy fats—and consider targeted supplementation with DHA/EPA omega‑3s and corrected D and B12 levels. Along the way, we address why amyloid hogged the spotlight, and point to powerful data: the Lancet's estimate that 45% of dementia cases are preventable and the American Heart Association's claim that 80% of strokes can be avoided.If you want a sharper brain by summer, this is your starting line.

0:00 Introduction: The best foods for heart health 0:20 What is heart-healthy food?1:49 10 best foods for the heart 4:43 Egg yolk for heart health10:22 Salt and a heart-healthy diet Mainstream media may have red-lined some of these foods, but they're actually the best foods you can eat for heart health!A heart-healthy diet is often characterized as being low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and high in fiber. This isn't the best diet for heart health! For a healthy heart, prioritize nutrient-dense foods that contain the active form of vitamin A, heme iron, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and high-quality complete protein.Here are the top 10 superfoods for your heart!1. Red meatI'm sure you're surprised to see this on the list! Grass-fed red meat contains high-quality amino acids that support the mitochondria in the heart. It's also a potent source of CoQ10, stearic acid, carnitine, carnosine, zinc, and vitamin B12. 2. Butter Grass-fed butter is very healthy for your heart! It's loaded with vitamin K2, which helps remove calcium from the arteries. It also contains butyrate, CLA, the active form of vitamin A, and stearic acid.3. Egg yolkEgg yolks are rich in choline, which helps prevent a fatty liver. Liver fat can spill over into the heart in the form of epicardial fat. Egg yolks also contain vitamin K2 and carotenoids. 4. CheeseRaw, aged cheese is rich in vitamin K2 and contains natural ACE inhibitors, which help support healthy blood pressure.5. Shellfish Oysters, mussels, and clams are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and various trace minerals, including zinc, copper, iron, and magnesium.6.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Gaby: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thanks for your work you're doing! And sorry for the long question. I am a 19 year old female, and have been struggling with gut issues since I was a baby. Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and so forth. I have had functional medicine and conventional bloodwork done. My progesterone tested low and also my estrogen was low. I have the symptoms of very high androgens/testosterone, despite conventional testing showing normal levels. Been diagnosed with low cortisol/adrenal fatigue. My thyroid panels are good. I have struggled with very low B12 vitamins (maybe from not knowing that I had MTHFR). I've had severe menstrual cramps ever since getting married recently. I can't afford more testing, but am wondering how this all connects? Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a very large fluid-filled, non-malignant cyst on my thyroid. When I swallow it looks like a golf ball is in there. Doctor said it's nothing to worry about. All my thyroid labs, including antibodies, came back normal. Food sensitivity test I had a couple years ago showed dairy and eggs being a problem and they were a big part of my diet for the past couple of years until recently. Am currently in week 1 of your 21 Day Detox. My question is, is there any way to shrink or eliminate the cyst without having a procedure? Thanks! Noah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm 24 and recently recovered from mono, but I've been feeling exhausted ever since—almost like my body can't fully bounce back. My doctor says it's just "post-viral fatigue," but I'm wondering if there's more to it, like EBV reactivation or mitochondrial depletion. What would be your next step to rebuild energy naturally? Eleazar: Hello dr cabral i have a question about my post viral pots i have been dealing with since January of 2024 and how you would try to fix it. my question is if a viral infection which are normal and everyone gets caused this autoimmune reaction what exactly would u target to fix the autoimmunity if the virus is gone and there isnt much to remove unlike other cases of autoimmunity where a gut dysbiosis or heavy metals is causing the disease u know what to remove I hope that makes sense thank you for your time and videos u put they are very informative Eleazar: Hello dr Cabral i have another question regarding autoimmune disease i am a 21 year old male and soon i will be fixing all my root causes for my suspected autoimmune pots disease. I have completed the big 5 but my question is will i ever be able to drink alcohol again like beer for example or will it always be a risk for reactivating the autoimmune disease i see many functional medicine doctors say only 1-2 beverages but does it really have to be just that amount or can u drink more also i heard u mentioned binge drinking can cause epigenetic immune shift what exactly is that and can it be fixed and if i do drink will i need to avoid eating fast food at the same time even if its on occasion.thank you for the amazing videos u do Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3579 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's one trillion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia, the political risk created by the lingering 9/11 lawsuit, the White House's continued push for foreign labor, and new polling that shows major headwinds for Republicans. The global brief then moves to Russian sabotage across Europe, Chinese made vehicles spying on Western militaries, and new research from Australia on autism and prenatal nutrition. Trump Signs One Trillion Dollar Saudi Deal: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to sweeping partnerships that span nuclear energy, rare earth mining, financial services, liquified natural gas, advanced AI chips, and the sale of up to forty eight F-35 fighter jets. The deal promises major job gains in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Arizona, and Louisiana. Bryan notes that Congress must still approve the fighter sales and that Israel will require a guaranteed technological edge before any jets reach Riyadh. He also warns that the 9/11 families' lawsuit against the Saudi government could disrupt everything. Court filings allege that two Saudi linked men assisted the first hijackers upon arrival in the United States, and a judge has ruled that the evidence is strong enough to move forward. Foreign Labor Controversy and Political Fallout: Trump defended his plan to use H-1B workers for new chip and battery factories, arguing that American workers are not trained for these roles. He acknowledged that the stance is hurting his poll numbers but insisted that "smart people" support his position. Bryan outlines why many conservatives see this as a repeat of past Big Tech abuses and why Silicon Valley's financial support could become a liability for the White House if working class voters feel sidelined. Polls show two thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Trump's approval rating sits around thirty eight percent in public surveys, and Democrats hold a fourteen point lead on the congressional generic ballot. Economic Signals Remain Mixed: The trade deficit fell twenty four percent as Americans purchased more U.S. made goods, suggesting the tariffs are strengthening domestic manufacturing. Construction data shows modest growth in housing but weakness in commercial projects. Foreclosures are rising, and Zillow reports that homeowners now face sixteen thousand dollars in annual upkeep on average. Bryan cautions that unless working families feel real relief by summer, the midterms could be difficult for Republicans. Russia Sabotages European Rail Lines: Poland confirmed that Russian intelligence directed two sabotage attempts on rail lines used to deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine. Explosives were placed to derail a passenger train, and investigators arrested two Ukrainian men recruited through online channels. Bryan connects this attack to a wider hybrid war across Europe directed by the GRU, including recent attempts to set off explosives in air cargo shipments. Italy's defense minister declared that Europe is under attack, although Bryan notes that European militaries are too hollowed out to respond meaningfully for years to come. China's Electric Cars and Buses Act as Spy Platforms: The United Kingdom warned that Chinese made hybrid and electric vehicles can record conversations and transmit data back to Beijing. Norway found that Chinese electric buses can be hacked and remotely controlled even in deep underground environments. Israel seized seven hundred Chinese government vehicles after discovering data gathering sensors. Bryan reminds listeners that he first warned of this surveillance threat years ago and says Western governments are only now catching up. Australia Links Prenatal Nutrition to Lower Autism Risk: Researchers found that prenatal supplements containing folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and other micronutrients are associated with a thirty percent reduction in autism risk. Scientists suspect a connection to the mother's gut microbiome and its influence on fetal development. Bryan notes that similar gut based treatments have shown promise in Europe and the United States and encourages listeners to remain open to emerging science.

This episode covers: • Cocoa Extract Cuts Heart Deaths A massive COSMOS trial found that older adults taking high flavanol cocoa extract daily saw a 27 percent reduction in cardiovascular deaths along with drops in inflammation markers like HSCRP. Women showed unique anti inflammatory cytokine shifts, pointing to a broader longevity effect. Dave explains why cocoa extract is becoming a foundational nutrient for vascular health rather than a dessert ingredient. Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/09/250926135957.htm • AI Stethoscope for Home Diagnostics Lapsi Health's Keikku 2.0 just became the first FDA cleared AI powered digital stethoscope for both clinicians and home users. It records heart and lung sounds, analyzes them instantly, and flags early warning signs before symptoms appear. Dave breaks down why tools like this move you from reactive to predictive medicine and why they belong in every quantified self toolkit.

Liver, kidney, and heart deliver vitamin A, heme iron, B12, copper, and choline that modern diets often lack. Dave covers sourcing concerns, purity standards, and why this shift reflects a move from fear based nutrition to evolutionary nutrition. Source: https://www.verywellhealth.com/beef-organ-supplement-11710185?utm_source=chatgpt.com • Spirulina for Collagen and DNA Protection New research highlights spirulina's ability to support collagen production, reduce oxidative stress, protect DNA, and improve glucose and lipid balance. It is becoming a staple of eco focused anti aging routines and is driving the viral green stacking trend with chlorella and chlorophyll. Dave explains why spirulina functions as a clean daily defense against oxidative stress.

The goal is to give users control over who sees their biometrics, how they are stored, and whether they can be sold. Dave outlines why this matters for anyone using Oura, Whoop, CGMs, or genetic testing and why your biology should belong to you and not the cloud.

Red meat, when eaten as part of a nutrient-rich, whole-food diet, supports brain function and gut health by supplying hard-to-get nutrients like vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, choline, and taurine that enhance mitochondrial energy and mental clarity People who included moderate amounts of red meat in a high-quality diet had higher brain-supporting nutrient levels and greater gut microbial diversity — key indicators of resilience and emotional well-being Processed meats such as bacon and sausage are a different story; even half a slice daily was linked to faster cognitive aging, higher dementia risk, and damage caused by nitrosamine formation from nitrites Choosing grass fed and finished red meat, cooking it gently, and pairing it with antioxidant-rich vegetables maximizes nutrients while minimizing oxidative stress and inflammation Collagen-rich cuts like oxtail, shank, or bone broth balance the amino acid profile of muscle meat, strengthening connective tissue, improving sleep, and reducing inflammation for lasting vitality
