Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...
If you've heard of metabolism, you've probably heard endless tips and tricks to boost it, from working out to drinking green tea. The idea is that a slow metabolism leads to weight gain, and speeding it up makes it easier to shed pounds. But what if we told you that metabolic rate doesn't really have anything to do with why so many of us in the developed world are heavy? This episode, nutrition scientist Kevin Hall and science journalist Julia Belluz join us to debunk metabolic myths, starting with what actually happened behind the scenes on the reality TV show The Biggest Loser. Can you really mess up your metabolism by gaining and losing weight, or reset it with morning tonics and exercise? Are those of us who weigh more than we want cursed with a slow metabolism, while those of us who seem to be able to eat whatever we want without gaining weight are just lucky to have a speedy one? And what do World War I explosives and Froot Loops have to do with figuring this all out? Listen in this episode, as we debunk some metabolism myths! Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been twenty years since The Biggest Loser first aired. In the last episode, we reflected on what The Biggest Loser taught us about ourselves and how the show shaped the way we view weight loss, health, and body image. In this episode, we focus on the progress we've made since then: the shift toward strength training, body composition over the scale, and celebrating sustainable health instead of crash diets. We ask tough questions, share personal experiences, and rethink what health really looks like NOW in 2025. Have you changed with the times? This is a raw, timely conversation for anyone still untangling themselves from the “before and after” mindset.

Losing weight should be simple: eat less, exercise more. But according to author and health journalist Julia Belluz, it's complicated. Listen as Belluz talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about her new book, Food Intelligence. Belluz argues that a calorie is pretty much a calorie whether it's carbs or fat. Keeping calories under control is often harder than it sounds. The message isn't blame; it's agency with compassion: understand your body's feedback loops, redesign the choices around you, and choose a sustainable way to enjoy food. At the end of the conversation, Belluz makes the case for government intervention of various kinds to help us make what she sees as better food choices; Roberts pushes back.

In today's episode of the Pørn to Purpose podcast, we reveal the real reason you keep going back to pørn—and it's not about sex. It's about emotional pain, unhealed wounds, and the need to escape. We draw a powerful parallel between food addiction and pørn addiction, using the lens of the Biggest Loser documentary. Just like food isn't the real problem for a food addict, pørn isn't your problem either—it's the pill you take to numb what you're not ready to feel. Whether you're dealing with stress, loneliness, rejection, or shame... this episode breaks down why most recovery attempts fail and how you can take the first step toward real, lasting transformation. Top 10 Show Highlights: [00:29] Why it's called the Liberation Boot Camp—and why it matters. [01:24] The emotional roots of food and pørn addiction. [01:54] “You don't have a pørn problem. You have a pain problem.” [02:22] How pørn becomes a coping mechanism, not just a bad habit. [02:51] The dopamine hit that almost works—but leaves you emptier. [03:16] Why white-knuckling your way through never works. [03:49] True recovery = identity shift, not just restriction. [05:45] Real stories of emotional coping with pørn use. [06:40] How cravings for food and pørn hit the same emotional centers. [08:35] Breaking the cycle of “this is my year”—and actually changing.

“It makes me wonder, what things happening today will we look back on years from now with similar eyes and say, 'I can't believe we let this happen?'”If you ever watched The Biggest Loser and found yourself rooting for the contestants (and maybe even feeling inspired), this episode will prompt you to look at it all through a very different lens. Today's conversation is not just about a reality TV show, but about exposing the extreme and unsafe practices it normalized, the harmful beliefs it perpetuated about health and body size, and how so many of those beliefs are still shaping our lives today.I'm breaking down the new Netflix documentary, Fit for TV, and sharing my reflections as a former viewer, a registered dietitian, and someone who now sees just how toxic shows like The Biggest Loser have been for our collective understanding of health. From unrealistic exercise routines to extreme calorie restriction, public humiliation, and the perpetuation of weight stigma, these harmful narratives stuck with me for years.We dig into the consequences contestants faced, including metabolic slowdown, weight regain, and lifelong shame, and we shine a light on why the system set us all up to fail. My hope is that after listening, you'll deepen your understanding of why dieting fails us, how weight stigma sneaks into everyday life, and what it really looks like to pursue health with compassion instead of shame.Most importantly, we talk about what you can do to unlearn these narratives and break the cycle for yourself and for those around you. Whether you watched The Biggest Loser or not, this episode will help you see diet culture with a more critical, informed, and compassionate lens.What You'll Learn:Why the practices on The Biggest Loser were incredibly unsafe, and why they were normalized for entertainmentThe reality of metabolic adaptation, weight regain, and the toll of weight cycling on our healthThe importance of challenging harmful narratives and stepping away from self-blame when diets don't “work”How weight stigma shows up in sneaky waysWhat it looks like to move forward with a healthier, more compassionate view of all bodies (including yours!)You are not failing if a diet hasn't worked for you. The system is flawed, not you. Thank you for listening and for being willing to look a little more deeply and compassionately at what we've been taught about health.

This week on Fat Science, Mark Wright, Andrea Taylor, and Dr. Emily Cooper dig deep into the science and history behind why diets don't work for lasting weight management. From early fad diets, through to modern metabolic research, the episode explains why calorie restriction often backfires—and why fueling the body is key to long-term health.Dr. Cooper unpacks the latest evidence about metabolic adaptation, the hormonal drivers of weight regain, and the persistent harms caused by repeated dieting. Listeners will leave with a renewed understanding of metabolism's complexity, the importance of medical advocacy, and the critical need to challenge diet culture and weight bias.Key TakeawaysShort-term weight loss from dieting is common, but centuries of evidence show most weight is regained—sometimes with additional harm.Metabolic adaptation and hormonal changes (like drops in leptin and rises in ghrelin) make weight regain almost inevitable for most people after calorie restriction.Repeated dieting (weight cycling) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and visceral fat, not just regaining lost weight.The biggest breakthroughs in metabolism came in the 20th century, but weight bias and diet industry profits keep the focus on ineffective short-term strategies.True long-term progress rests on regular fueling, metabolic evaluation, and avoiding the trap of repeated restrictive diets.Expert Insights & Practical AdviceDr. Cooper highlights landmark studies (Minnesota Starvation Experiment, Dutch famine, the "Biggest Loser" follow-up) illustrating how diets slow metabolism and can even cause lasting damage.The science behind metabolic hormones—leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, GLP-1—shows why the body fights back against weight loss and why medications must be paired with metabolic support, not additional restriction.Reflections on weight bias in medicine, the need for informed consent around diets, and how current research is still catching up to clinical reality.Personal Stories & Culture CritiqueAndrea shares how social circles demonstrate the futility of diets and the cycle of weight loss and regain.Mark recounts professional experiences highlighting systemic bias and cultural attitudes toward weight and health, advocating for preventive medicine as the path forward.The hosts challenge listeners to rethink their relationship with food, prioritize health, and push back against societal shame and stigma.Resources from the EpisodeFat Science is committed to debunking the myths about metabolism, diabetes, and fat. We empower listeners with evidence-based information, challenging the culture of blame and restriction.

After 30+ years of helping women transform their bodies, I'm sharing the exact fat loss strategy that actually works—and it's not what you've been told. If you're tired of the "eat less, exercise more" approach that left you exhausted and metabolically damaged (like it did for 95% of people who try it), this episode is your game-changer. I'm breaking down why calories aren't just calories, how to protect your precious metabolism-boosting muscle during fat loss, and the specific workout and nutrition formula that helps women over 40 build muscle while burning fat—without spending hours in the gym or feeling deprived. Drawing from my work with thousands of clients and the latest metabolic research (including what really happened to those Biggest Loser contestants), I'm giving you my complete blueprint for sustainable fat loss. This isn't about quick fixes—it's about creating a body composition that supports you as you age powerfully. I'll walk you through my personal daily eating routine, the exact resistance training moves that give you the most bang for your buck, and my secret weapon: cycling caloric restriction that prevents metabolic adaptation while still accelerating fat loss. What you'll learn: Why 25-40% of weight loss on traditional diets comes from muscle (and how to prevent this metabolic disaster) The "trifecta for satiety" that naturally controls hunger and stabilizes blood sugar My specific protein formula: exactly how much you need per pound of body weight to build muscle and burn fat for women over 40 The 3 critical roles muscle plays beyond just looking toned (metabolic spanx, sugar sponge, and myokine messenger) My exact resistance training routine: 6 compound movements that transform your body in just 3 sessions per week Why ultra-processed foods sabotage your metabolism through lower thermic effect The cycling caloric restriction strategy that prevents metabolic adaptation while accelerating fat loss How to structure meals for optimal muscle retention during fat loss (with my personal meal examples) Love the Podcast?

Susie watched the Biggest Loser docuseries, and it just confirms everything we've been saying about reality tv for decades, but it leaves the question of whether we should expect more from our "entertainment." We find out whether twins have "telepathy" or any kind of special biological ability that allows them to understand each other better, read each other's thoughts, and feel physical pain the other is experiencing. There's a new record for the longest lightning bolt, and we're glad we weren't there for it. We get an update on our old pal James Howells who accidentally threw away his hard drive (and the key to his crypto) that is now worth about a billion dollars, and his efforts to retrieve it from the garbage dump.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets! 00:00 - Feeling Good, Booking Appointments, and Our Spooktacular Spectacle05:15 - Unpacking The Biggest Loser: Reality TV's Harmful Impact14:46 - The Biggest Loser's Temptation Challenges and Ethical Dilemmas25:18 - Motivation, Shame, and the Role of Therapy in Weight Loss34:13 - Is Twin Telepathy Real?

Episode 2691- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the docuseries "Fit for TV" and its behind-the-scenes revelations and exploitations. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/revelations-and-exploitations-episode-2691 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Revelations and Exploitations After a chat about hand modeling and voiceover actors, they discuss the Netflix docuseries “Fit for TV.” (2:00) The Biggest Loser, when originally aired, was exploitive. (8:30) The contestants weren't paid very well, and the trainers were questionable. The episodes were grueling to watch because of the treatment of the contestants. (16:00) They discuss some of the tactics the show used to get contestants. Contracts were complicated and presented in a manner that rushed contestants into signing. (18:00) They'd sign away their image rights, and the production company would own it. Vinnie shares his experience with the show's doctor (in a separate incident). After having Vinnie go through multiple tests, the show's doctor couldn't give Vinnie an answer as to what was wrong with him. Two days later, Vinnie found out he had cancer (from a different doctor). (22:00) Anna felt that the Fit for TV documentary didn't hammer down on the point hard enough about how dangerous and exploitive the show was. (29:00) Caffeine pills—are they harmful? (31:30). They discuss some of the contestants and their struggles, including one woman who had to be airlifted to the hospital. (39:00) An Offer to Help Danny Cahill was a contestant and the overall winner of the most weight loss. (51:30) However, he has since regained all the weight, and then some. Vinnie is offering special help to Danny at no cost and with no exploitation, publicity, fanfare, etc. Vinnie wants to help Danny regain his health in a healthy and sustainable manner. Danny has a public Facebook link at: Our audience has shown interest in reaching out to Danny to encourage him. Does exercise ramp up appetite, or suppress it?

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with another Sunday Set Up to help you set the tone for the week ahead. This week, we reflect on the nostalgia of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, the shifting lens on shows like The Biggest Loser (including discussion on the Netflix doc), and the reminder that what once entertained us may look very different through today's eyes. We talk about the importance of listening to our bodies before they shut us down, with stories of stress, illness, and the emotional weight that often hides behind physical breakdowns. The message is clear: healing requires addressing both the physical AND the emotional. Then we get serious. Plotting pumpkin-carving contests. Halloween decorations popping up in stores being “spring training” for the upcoming holiday season. We reminisce about birthday party 'grab bags' being the rage, playing with caps, and bobbing for donuts-on-a-string somehow being fun.

It was a show so many of us loved, watching and cheering contestants on as they lost hundreds of pounds… but behind the scenes, and once the cameras stopped rolling, it was a much different story.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Adam Yenser joins Adam in the studio! Adam kicks things off by venting about his ongoing communication struggles with everyone in his life, before discussing a frustrating encounter at Home Depot's Pro Counter, which sparks a conversation about the absurdities of everyday errands. Adam Yenser reflects on performing stand-up comedy on cruise ships and why those audiences aren't always the sharpest, while the two riff on everything from Ozempic for dogs to Andy Warhol's BMW art car worth tens of millions.Elisha Krauss stops by to cover the latest news headlines, starting with Joy Reid's controversial claim that white men are incapable of inventing anything. Her comments spark a spirited back-and-forth about race, culture, and historical achievements.
