Podcasts about blood sugar

Somewhere along the way, the internet decided your blood sugar going up after you eat is a problem. It isn't! That's your body doing exactly what it's built to do. Amanda, Joyce, and Morgan break down the confusion around insulin resistance, continuous glucose monitors, and blood sugar spikes. They get into what's actually normal versus what's genuinely dysfunctional, why two healthy people can eat the same meal and get completely different glucose responses, and why chasing a perfectly flat line is both pointless and sometimes a red flag in itself. They talk through the fear-based content that gets rewarded online, why fruit is not the enemy, why insulin is not the enemy, and what actually matters for metabolic health. Plus why a flat glucose curve can be hiding a serious problem, why most people wearing a CGM for fun are getting nothing useful out of it, and the genuinely boring stuff that moves the needle: muscle, movement, sleep, and a walk after you eat.

Murphy rode out a scary low blood sugar in the middle of the night, and Jodi makes him promise a new wake-me-up rule. The reason thrifting is more expensive lately, and what the beginning of October means for families. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What labs should women actually be asking for, and what do those numbers really tell you about your health? In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, Dr. Leah Gordon breaks down the key labs she believes women should understand, from blood sugar and fasting insulin to thyroid, iron, inflammation, reproductive hormones, vitamin D and more. She explains what these markers can reveal about metabolic health, fertility, energy, hormones, symptoms and overall health, and why looking at a single lab without the right context can sometimes miss the bigger picture.The conversation also dives into reproductive hormone testing, including estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, AMH, testosterone, SHBG and DHEA, with a major emphasis on understanding where you are in your menstrual cycle when certain labs are drawn. Leah and Morgan discuss why cycle tracking and understanding ovulation can give women important context about their own health, whether they are trying to conceive, trying to avoid pregnancy, navigating postpartum or breastfeeding, or approaching perimenopause.They also cover thyroid markers, ferritin and iron studies, hs-CRP and inflammation, cortisol, vitamin D, ANA, and the importance of considering a partner's semen analysis when trying to conceive. The episode ultimately comes back to one central idea: learning the basics of your own health can help you ask better questions, recognize when something deserves further investigation, and become more informed about what is happening in your body.00:00 Trailer + Introduction03:26 Understanding Women's Health Labs04:58 Why Testing Matters for Women's Health09:29 Blood Sugar, Insulin & Metabolic Health16:34 Thyroid Labs: TSH, T3, T4 & Antibodies23:18 Iron & Ferritin: What Women Should Know29:10 Inflammation & hs-CRP33:59 Why Preconception Lab Testing Matters38:57 Reproductive Hormones & Cycle Timing40:52 Estradiol: When to Test Estrogen42:17 Progesterone: When to Test It45:37 Cycle Tracking & Knowing When You Ovulate49:46 FSH & LH: What They Tell You54:42 AMH & Ovarian Reserve57:54 Testosterone, SHBG & DHEA61:14 Cortisol, Vitamin D & Stress62:38 ANA, Fertility & Partner Testing63:56 Understanding Your Labs & Advocating for Your HealthResources From This Episode:Dr. Leah's Free Fertility Lab Guide - https://drleahgordon.com/fertility-lab-guide-freebieDr. Leah's Free Fertility Masterclass - https://fertilitymasterclass.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Taking Back Fertility Program - https://takebackfertility.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Womanhood Wellness Membership - https://drleahgordon.com/joinHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

In this episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast, I dive into the growing epidemic of blood sugar dysregulation and type 2 diabetes, breaking down why these issues have become so prevalent. I explain how genetics, lifestyle, stress, sleep, and even our gut microbiome all play a critical role in blood sugar regulation, not just the foods we eat. From genetic markers to the impact of adverse childhood events, I highlight the interconnectedness of our environment and our metabolic health.You will learn about effective strategies for blood sugar management, from optimizing meal timing and movement to choosing the best evidence-backed diets and supporting gut health. I share simple, actionable tips like walking after meals, prioritizing quality sleep, and building consistent exercise routines, emphasizing that consistency, not perfection, is the key to long-term results.If you found these insights helpful, please share this episode with friends who might benefit from a health upgrade too!

Sleep, Growth Hormone, and Autophagy: How Rest, Diet, and Fasting Support Metabolic Health and Longevity: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how deep, early non-REM sleep boosts growth hormone for muscle, bone, fat burning, and metabolic health, and reviews a Cell study in which UC Berkeley researchers mapped hypothalamic circuits and feedback through the locus coeruleus showing a tight balance between sleep, growth hormone release, and wakefulness, with implications for metabolic disease and neurodegeneration. She connects poor sleep to higher blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol, which can suppress growth hormone, and advises avoiding sweet post-workout foods (e.g., smoothies, bananas, fruit yogurt) that stimulate insulin and blunt growth hormone, recommending protein and fat instead. She then explains autophagy and mitophagy as cellular cleanup processes linked to longevity, noting autophagy peaks after 12 hours of fasting, highlighting roles in mitochondrial quality control, immunity, and neurodegenerative disease, and mentions interventions such as fasting, exercise, ketogenic diets, and investigational inducers like rapamycin and urolithin A.

My thyroid labs are "normal," but my hair's falling out, and I'm exhausted. Is this menopause or my thyroid?If that sounds familiar, you're in good company. Andrea Donsky, nutritionist and bestselling author of Nourishing Menopause, has had Hashimoto's for more than 20 years, and once she hit menopause, her thyroid symptoms changed completely. The cold hands and weight gain she'd learned to watch for were replaced by a hoarse voice, fast weight loss, and depression.So she sat down with Dr. Jade Guerra, a chiropractor and family nurse practitioner who has spent decades in functional medicine. They talk about what Hashimoto's actually is, why so many doctors don't check thyroid antibodies, and the kinds of testing Dr. Jade uses to look for what's behind your symptoms. Then they get into blood sugar: why insulin resistance gets more common in menopause, which fruits spike you (watermelon did it to Andrea), and why a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can tell you more than any food list.And if you've ever walked out of an appointment feeling brushed off, Dr. Jade's closing message is for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- Why your thyroid symptoms can look different in menopause- What Hashimoto's is and why a thyroid antibody test is worth asking about- How mold and other toxins can sneak into everyday food- Why insulin resistance gets more common after menopause- Which fruits are easier on your blood sugar, and how to get a CGM without a prescription in the USCHAPTERS4:04 Why Doctors Don't Test Thyroid Antibodies7:27 Meet Dr. Jade Guerra + Andrea's Hashimoto's Story After Menopause9:45 Normal Thyroid Labs?

Fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms. So how would you know to ask about it, and what can you do if it shows up on a test?In this short episode, Dr. Taz explains the connection between fatty liver and metabolic health, including insulin resistance, blood sugar, muscle, and everyday habits. She also discusses clues that deserve a closer look, why mildly elevated liver enzymes should be followed up, and practical steps such as reducing sugary drinks, strength training, and walking after meals.Fatigue or belly weight alone cannot tell you whether you have fatty liver. If you have concerns about your liver enzymes or metabolic health, talk with a qualified healthcare provider about which tests and next steps make sense for you.Join The Circle, Dr. Taz's private membership featuring live sessions, practical demonstrations, research discussions, real guidance, and a supportive community.Start your one-month trial at: ➡️ https://holplus.co/circle/ (use the code PODCAST)Learn more about hol+ and schedule an appointment:https://holplus.co/Listen to more episodes of the hol+ podcast:https://holplus.co/podcast/Stay Connected:Dr. Taz: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/Hol+: https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Hol+ Show: https://www.instagram.com/holplushow/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HolPlusShow/podcastsGet your copy of ➡️ The Hormone ShiftProduced by https://ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek) (00:00) - Intro (00:42) - What is Fatty Liver?

You don't need to cut carbs to build muscle or finally lose stubborn belly fat — you need to balance them. In this episode, Angie breaks down the exact protein-to-carb imbalance she sees over and over (even with "clean" carbs like rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes).What blood sugar swings do to your ability to build muscle and lose fat — especially once estrogen starts declining in perimenopause and menopause — and the simple protein-first approach that fixes it without cutting a single food out. Angie also shares how this exact protein + lifting combination is the foundation of her 6-Week Menopause Muscle Building Program, starting Sunday, October 4th (only 5 spots).Want more details?

Kyle Napier is a human physiologist and health optimization coach, and the founder of Club Gevity in Rochester. His background is in kinesiology and human physiology, and he ran his own personal training business, putting clients through the workouts and the mobility work and the whole shebang while watching them stay on statins and blood pressure medication anyway. He lost three of his four grandparents to chronic disease before he was 15. By the time he and his high school sweetheart, now his wife, got to college, she had had a full thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. He has spent the last ten years on a single question: why.In this episode he gets into the 13 DNA methylation pathways he reads, what a panel tells him about a person before they say a word, and why he tests DNA, gut, and blood together. He covers the 38 trillion bacteria that decide what you crave, the mold in cheap coffee, the grass-fed labeling loophole, why he calls blood sugar the root of all disease in this country, and the case for Alzheimer's as type 3 diabetes. He also gets into why strength training matters roughly twice as much as cardio, what dopamine has to do with addiction, and how to pick a supplement in an industry the FDA does not regulate. Then he talks about what he is building now, and why the mission is getting this education to the people who cannot afford the programs.CONNECTClub Gevity → https://gevityclub.comClub Gevity on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/gevityclubROC Vox → https://rocvox.comNew episodes every Tuesday.Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production in Bushnell's Basin, NY.Learn more at https://rocvox.com Recorded at ROC Vox Recording and Production Studios, Rochester, NY.

They say you are what you eat... which is a little concerning if your lunch today came from a vending machine. But whether you're living on salads, sneaking cookies after dinner, or wondering why you crash every afternoon, the foods we eat can have a major impact on our blood sugar—even if you don't have diabetes. Today, we're talking about the surprising foods that can send blood sugar soaring, the ones that help keep it steady, and what everyday people should know before their next trip to the grocery store.  Dr. Jeanine Cook-Garard and Pandora Groth talk with Stephanie Crabtree, a Registered Dietician, and the CEO and Founder of Stephanie Crabtree Nutrition.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is coming in HOT after a whirlwind week of travel…from  New York, to  Philly, to Boston and  LA…but somehow after a wild week of jam packed schedules…she came out of it feeling happier and more energized instead of completely depleted. So…what worked? Well she's gonna tell us!  First, we're asking a question that might hit a little deeper than expected: Who is your camera? You know that person you look to after you do something, waiting for them to tell you, “You did great”? Maria realized we may need to be VERY careful about who we give that job to  and maybe learn how to turn the camera back on ourselves.Then things get a little more…digestive LOL! After mostly cutting out dairy, Maria brought Greek yogurt back into the mix for more protein and noticed a VERY unexpected bathroom benefit. Yep, we're talking constipation, probiotics and whether Greek yogurt might officially be back on her menu.PLUS, Maria is getting serious about protein again after noticing what it does for her blood sugar, and she shares the protein smoothie that's been working for her. And finally, we're solving the “fun crisis” with something ridiculously simple: going for a hike. Maria even dragged herself out for a sunrise hike she almost skipped  and it ended up being one of those “OMG, I'm so happy right now” moments. Can't wait for you to hear this one friends!

Are carbs actually bad for you, or have we been asking the wrong question? In this episode, I'm sitting down with metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman to unpack one of the most confusing nutrition conversations happening right now.We talk about how to know how many carbs your body can handle, why your muscle mass and activity level matter, how carbohydrate quality changes your metabolic response, and why the answer may be different depending on where a woman is in her hormonal life.Ben also explains what happens to insulin sensitivity across the menstrual cycle and after menopause, why fiber matters, how he thinks about food pairing, what a CGM can tell you, and why his perspective on GLP-1 medications has evolved.In this episode:Are carbs actually bad for you?How many carbohydrates should you eat?Good carbs vs. highly refined carbsWhy fiber changes the conversationWhy muscle gives you more metabolic “wiggle room”Carbohydrates, blood sugar, stress, and sleepCan food naturally stimulate GLP-1?More on Dr. Ben BikmanDr. Ben Bikman is a metabolic scientist and professor whose research focuses on insulin resistance, metabolic health, and the ways nutrition influences human metabolism. He is the author of Why We Get Sick and the upcoming book The Carb Crisis, which explores carbohydrates through the lens of metabolism and other factors that may influence how our bodies respond to the foods we eat.The Carb Crisis Book: https://link.amazon/B096Jd0u4Website: http://benbikman.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benbikmanphdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminBikmanPhDYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@benbikmanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@benbikmanphdX: https://x.com/BenBikmanPhDFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep371Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Johan sits down with Caitlin Jones, a functional nutritionist who has spent the last three years focused on blood work, blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, including reversing pre- and type 2 diabetes. They open with the CGM-and-oatmeal posts that circulate online: a blood sugar rise after a meal is normal, and what actually matters is the rest of the meal and whether the basics are in place. Caitlin shares how she was diagnosed pre-diabetic while powerlifting and reversed it with a calorie deficit, lower carbs, steady protein, walks after meals and the same lifting she was already doing. You'll walk away with a plain-language picture of how blood sugar rises and falls, what an unbalanced eating pattern does to that baseline over time, and where labs, muscle and maybe even a GLP-1 actually fit.More from Caitlin:https://www.caitlinjcoaching.com/https://www.instagram.com/caitlin.j.coaching/In this episodeWhy the CGM-and-oatmeal posts show something normal: a rise after carbs is expected, and nobody eats a carb by itself.Caitlin's story: diagnosed pre-diabetic about four years ago while powerlifting on 370 grams of carbs a day, fasting blood sugar in the 140s, 192 pounds at 5'2".Over-eating and under-eating can feel the same in the body: tired, poor sleep, poor recovery.The protein craze, fortified everything, and why so many clients come in over-eating protein and under-eating carbs.How her parents taught balance without making it a thing: soda or ice cream at team dinners, never both.Blood sugar 101 in plain language: it rises after eating, insulin brings it down, and an unbalanced pattern slowly pushes the baseline up.Type 2 as a lifestyle condition, and why "you don't look pre-diabetic" is not a diagnosis. The stick-thin client whose doctor doubted it until a week of testing said otherwise.How Caitlin reversed hers: a deficit, lower carbs, protein held, walks after meals, same lifting. Her transparent take on an eight-month semaglutide microdose as a tool, not the reason it worked.Why people who skip the basics on a GLP-1 tend to regain, and what she does with them next.What she checks first with a new client: three to five days of food logs (under-reporting, hidden fats, the coffee), then A1C and fasted insulin.Why muscle is one of the best blood sugar tools you have: the sugar has somewhere to go.The hardest part: the habits people didn't know were habits, and eating for a purpose.A little hunger is normal and doesn't need fixing right now.Intuitive eating as "the PhD of eating": the long-term goal, not the method.- - - - -Talking Nutrition is brought to you by Odyssey Coaching Systems.Website and free resources: https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/Follow Johan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johanvesters_ocs/Apply for coaching: https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/coaching-application

What if your insulin resistance isn't simply because you're eating too many carbs?In this episode, I'm breaking down what may actually be driving insulin resistance, why cutting carbohydrates isn't automatically the right answer for everyone, and how your body's response can depend on factors like meal composition, stress, sleep, muscle mass, and even the time of day you eat.I'll also explain why some people feel better with fewer carbohydrates while others do better with a balanced combination of carbs, protein, and healthy fats, and how your circadian rhythm can directly influence insulin sensitivity.Because if you're only focusing on carbs, you may be missing a much bigger part of the metabolic picture.

Your blood sugar isn't just about sugar — it's tangled up with your gut, your immune system, and how your whole metabolism runs. This episode pulls together three conversations that build on each other, from one guy's simple fix to the bigger picture behind it all — meet your three experts below. Most people with type 2 diabetes are told it's a forever sentence. Chris Reade was one of them. In 2017, his A1C hit 9.1 with zero warning. He refused medication, did the research, and built a food system around the science of soluble fiber. Six months later, his A1C was 5.5. Seven years later, it has never gone back up. Danielle Hamilton is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Restorative Wellness Practitioner who specializes in blood sugar regulation & digestion. She became interested in blood sugar issues when she learned that Insulin Resistance was at the root of her PCOS.

My labs came back "normal." So why do I feel like I'm falling apart and gaining weight?If you've heard that from your doctor, this one's for you. Andrea sits down with her friend (and her own doctor), Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND, founder and clinical director of Advanced Women's Health. They recorded this with no script, for both of their podcasts, and it shows. They laugh a lot, and they still get into the stuff most doctors skip.Sarah explains why she tests insulin and inflammation, not just FSH and LH, and why you can feel off for years before your labs show perimenopause. She uses a bank account analogy for insulin and fat storage that finally makes it click. Then they talk honestly about GLP-1 medications, what the big weight loss trials actually did, and why food, supplements, and medication don't have to be an either/or choice.Sarah also shares something personal. She used to weigh 100 pounds more than she does now, while eating well and working out, and it took years to find out why.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- Why your labs can look normal when you feel anything but, and what "late reproductive" means- Which blood tests to ask about in perimenopause, including fasting insulin and inflammation markers- How insulin affects where your body stores fat, and why eating less often backfires- What the GLP-1 studies don't put in the headlines- 3 surprising things that can add to perimenopause weight gainCHAPTERS2:00 Why a Doctor Who Won't Budge Is a Red Flag2:31 Meet Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND5:36 "I Don't Know Where to Start" and How Your Feed Shapes What You Know8:06 Normal Labs but You Don't Feel Like Yourself?

This episode is part of our four-part Avocados in Practice mini-series, sponsored by Avocados – Love One Today®. Today, we're asking whether we're focusing on the right things when it comes to diabetes nutrition. When someone is diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, nutrition conversations often become all about sugar and carbohydrates. But are we missing the bigger picture? In this episode, Patricia Bannan, MS, RDN, joins me to discuss glycemic load, diet quality, and why overall eating patterns deserve just as much attention as individual nutrients when supporting healthy blood sugar management and type 2 diabetes risk reduction. What You'll LearnHow to shift the conversation from restriction toward overall diet qualityThe difference between glycemic index and glycemic loadNutrients to consider beyond total carbohydrates, such as unsaturated fats and fiberResearch exploring avocados, diet quality, blood sugar management, and diabetes riskPractical ways patients can incorporate avocados into balanced mealsResources Mentioned:The Role of Avocados in Managing Type 2 DiabetesKnow the Difference: Natural Sugars vs. Added Sugars (Handout)The Effect of Including One Avocado Daily in a Habitual Diet on the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load in Free-living Adults with Overweight/ObesityAssociations Between Avocado Intake and Measures of Glucose and Insulin Homeostasis in Hispanic Individuals With and Without Type 2 DiabetesAssociations Between Avocado Intake and Lower Rates of Incident Type 2 Diabetes in U.S. Adults with Hispanic/Latino AncestryAvocado Banana Dairy-Free Ice Cream (Recipe)Don't miss the rest of the series:Episode 1: Why Feeling Full Matters for Weight LossEpisode 2: Rethinking Cholesterol CounselingAbout Today's SponsorAvocados – Love One Today® is a leading source of the healthiest reasons and tastiest ways to enjoy fresh avocados.

What if one of the biggest missing pieces in your metabolic health has nothing to do with your diet—and everything to do with the light you're exposed to every day? In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with Roudy Nassif, founder of VivaRays and a leading educator in light, circadian health, and quantum biology. Roudy's passion for light began with his own search for answers after years of struggling with ADHD, depression, mood swings, and chronic exhaustion that no diet, doctor, or supplement seemed to fix. That journey ultimately led him to discover just how profoundly our exposure to light—and darkness—can influence our biology. We dive into the connection between your light environment and cortisol, blood sugar, sleep, energy, mood, and metabolic health. We also discuss why getting your nutrition "right" may not be enough if your circadian rhythm is working against you. If you've been struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, insulin resistance, weight loss resistance, or cortisol issues despite doing all the "right" things, this conversation may help you recognize a missing piece. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: Roudy's personal journey from ADHD, depression, mood swings, and chronic exhaustion to discovering circadian and light biology Why light may be one of the most overlooked pieces of metabolic health Can you eat a great diet and still struggle metabolically because of your light environment? How morning sunlight influences your circadian rhythm, cortisol, blood sugar, energy, and metabolism How spending our days indoors under artificial light may affect metabolic and hormonal health The relationship between light exposure, cortisol dysregulation, and chronic exhaustion Roudy's experience with ADHD and mood and how changing his light environment affected his health Why circadian health may be especially important for women in perimenopause and menopause Common mistakes we're making with artificial and blue light What makes blue-light-blocking glasses different—and when should you actually wear them? Roudy's ideal daily light routine from morning through bedtime Simple light-related strategies you can begin implementing right away SPECIAL VIVARAYS OFFER ☀️ I've personally been using VivaRays blue-light-blocking glasses and absolutely love them!

I'm breaking down the clinical clues I pay attention to when someone struggles with migraines and why certain vitamins, thyroid function, blood sugar, hormones, and gut health may all play a role depending on the person. I'll also talk about why the timing of your migraines matters. If your headaches changed around the same time as your digestion, menstrual cycle, energy, thyroid symptoms, or other changes in your health, those patterns may offer important clues.And if you've been experiencing symptoms that seem completely unrelated to your migraines, your gut may be part of the bigger picture. My 2-Minute Gut Health Check can help you identify whether your digestion could be contributing to more of what you're feeling than you realize.This episode will help you think differently about migraines and understand which questions may be worth asking next.

You're exercising more, fasting more, changing what you eat, and trying everything you know to support your weight, and yet the scale still doesn't seem to move.In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down five foundational habits she wants you to look at before assuming your body simply isn't responding. She explores how fibre-rich foods can support satiety and your gut microbiome, why walking after meals can benefit blood sugar, how meal timing interacts with your circadian rhythm, and why sleep and consistency deserve a much bigger place in the weight-loss conversation.She also explores GLP-1, food noise, nervous system state, and what research tells us about maintaining weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications.The takeaway is refreshingly practical: instead of chasing another complicated strategy, start by looking at the everyday rhythms you can actually repeat.Resources MentionedFREE Nervous System QuestionnaireTime & Light: Missing Pieces of a Healthy Lifestyle with Dr. Satchin PandaThe Cancer Conversation Women Aren't Having Yet with Dr. Leigh Erin ConnealyReset AcademyEat Like a GirlAge Like a GirlFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep368Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

What happens when you've been diagnosed with CIRS, followed the protocol, and still don't feel better?In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Dr. Stadler of Red River Orem joins the conversation to explore why chronic illness rarely fits neatly into a single diagnosis. They unpack the overlap between CIRS, autoimmunity, MCAS, food sensitivities, blood sugar dysregulation, cortisol, anemia, and neurological symptoms and why comprehensive testing can be critical for understanding what is actually driving a patient's symptoms.They also discuss the importance of treating chronic illness in the right biochemical order, identifying underlying immune triggers, and helping patients understand their own bodies instead of becoming permanently dependent on a practitioner.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – When Your Tests Say “Nothing Is Wrong”01:00 – Meet Dr. Stadler of Red River Orem03:00 – Why CIRS Isn't One-Size-Fits-All05:00 – Dr. Stadler's Functional Medicine Background08:00 – Bridging Conventional and Functional Medicine09:00 – The Problem With Self-Diagnosing CIRS11:00 – CIRS vs. Neurological Damage13:00 – Why Chronic Illness Symptoms Overlap15:00 – Why Deeper Testing Matters16:00 – Autoimmunity Mistaken for CIRS17:00 – C4a, MMP-9 and Other CIRS Markers19:00 – Low MSH and Genetic Susceptibility20:00 – Where to Start With CIRS, Autoimmunity and MCAS21:00 – Stop Guessing and Start Testing22:00 – Treating Chronic Illness in Biochemical Order23:00 – The Role of Anemia and Iron25:00 – Finding the Triggers Behind Immune Dysregulation26:00 – Blood Sugar, Cortisol, Vitamin D and Anemia28:00 – MCAS, Histamine and Food Sensitivities30:00 – When You Seem to React to Everything32:00 – What Can Drive Gut Permeability34:00 – Should You Eliminate Every Reactive Food?35:00 – IgG Food Sensitivity Testing36:00 – Dr. Stadler's Preferred Testing Lab38:00 – How Chronic Stress Affects Immune Function40:00 – The Blood Sugar–Cortisol Connection41:00 – Hypoglycemia, Adrenaline and Anxiety42:00 – Why Blood Sugar Dips Can Worsen Neurological Symptoms43:00 – What Your Neurons Need to Function45:00 – CIRS and Neurological Symptoms47:00 – Treating the Individual, Not Just the Diagnosis48:00 – MCAS vs. Histamine Dysregulation49:00 – Food Allergies vs. Food Sensitivities51:00 – Identifying and Addressing Immune Triggers52:00 – Teaching Patients to Manage Their Own Health53:00 – Why Are More People Chronically Sick?54:00 – Stress and Endocrine Disruptors55:00 – Sedentary Lifestyles and Immune Health56:00 – The Rise of Autoimmunity57:00 – Has Chronic Stress Become Our Normal?59:00 – Rebuilding the Body's Adaptability to Stress1:00:00 – Managing the Stressors You Can Control1:01:00 – How to Work With Dr. StadlerRESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONEDRed River OremFor consultations with Dr. Stadler and the Red River Orem team.Phone: 801-691-1765ImmunoLabsMentioned by Dr. Stadler as a laboratory he has used for IgG food sensitivity testing.Connect with the Gutsy Health PodcastFollow and message the Gutsy Health Podcast on Instagram with topics you'd like Dr. Stadler to cover in future episodes.Send us Fan Mail

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now →If you work 8-plus hours a day in front of a screen, your body is paying a price you may not fully see yet. In this episode, host Michael Palmer welcomes back nutritionist, TV host, and bestselling author Julie Daniluk for a frank conversation about what sedentary desk work is actually doing to bookkeepers' bodies — and, more importantly, what you can do about it starting today.Chapters[00:00] Standing desk setup intro[01:37] Julie's plane crash recovery[03:54] Why sitting harms your body[07:00] Walking pads and movement snacks[09:48] Diagnosing your energy crashes[12:00] Continuous glucose monitors explained[17:00] Oura Ring and sleep tracking[21:00] Hidden energy thieves and diet[26:00] Ketones, brain fog, and yerba mate[30:00] LumaBody program and resourcesSitting Is the New SmokingThe phrase sounds dramatic until you hear what the research actually shows. "Sitting still for 8 hours a day is absolutely horrendous for your health," Julie explains. "You end up with very poor blood sugar control. It reduces your insulin sensitivity. It's hard on your heart, and it certainly reduces your circulation." The solution, she argues, isn't to stretch after work — it's to stop sitting so much in the first place. A desk topper that converts any standard surface into a standing workspace, combined with a compact walking pad (now as small as 2.5 feet long), can let you move your legs while you work without disrupting your typing rhythm. Alternating between a standing position and a balance ball chair throughout the day adds an unexpected core workout on top of the circulation benefits.Movement Snacks and the Hourly ResetJulie recommends treating movement the way many bookkeepers treat their billable time — in structured intervals. "Every hour you should be taking a small movement break," she says, whether that's 50 squats, calf raises, arm swings, or even just tapping your feet under the desk. She calls these "movement snacks," and the research behind them is clear: brief bouts of muscle activity pull blood sugar down, restore circulation, and fight the metabolic slowdown that comes with prolonged stillness. Pets help too — Julie walks her dog twice a day and counts an energetic ball-throwing session in the backyard as a legitimate movement break.Tracking Your Metabolic HealthOne of the most practical tools discussed in this episode is the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small microchip worn on the back of the arm that pairs with a smartphone app to show real-time blood sugar readings throughout the day. No doctor's prescription required; they're available at most drugstores. Julie uses them regularly with clients and consistently finds surprises: smoothies, fruit-bottomed yogurt, and white rice can spike blood sugar just as sharply as obvious offenders like donuts. "It's going to give you charts and graphs to show you" exactly which foods cause peaks and crashes — and the crashes, she notes, are when fatigue, brain fog, and headaches hit hardest. The Oura Ring comes up as a complementary tracker for sleep quality, with Julie crediting mouth taping and acupuncture for doubling her nightly deep sleep.Hidden Energy ThievesBeyond movement, Julie identifies several drains that busy bookkeepers rarely connect to their afternoon slumps. Liquid calories — think blended coffee drinks topping 700 calories — don't register as fullness the way solid food does, so they spike insulin without satisfying hunger. Ultra-processed foods borrow nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and chromium from your body's own reserves just to metabolize their empty carbohydrates, leaving you with less energy than you started with. Food sensitivities to gluten, corn, soy, or refined sugar can trigger an immune response that feels like pure exhaustion. And caffeine, she clarifies, doesn't give you energy — it suppresses adenosine, your body's fatigue signal, which is a very different thing. Her recommended alternative: yerba mate, which naturally stimulates GLP-1, reduces appetite, and delivers gentler stimulation without wrecking sleep.Fueling Your Brain DifferentlyFor bookkeepers struggling with brain fog, Julie points to ketones as an underused fuel source. When sugar intake drops, the liver produces ketones that can power the brain with remarkable clarity. "In the absence of sugar, how extraordinary my focus and memory really can be," she says, drawing on her own experience managing ADHD through nutrition. Therapeutic ketone powders and medium-chain triglycerides (from coconut products) offer a way to access this fuel without committing to a strict ketogenic diet. She also advocates for a protein-forward breakfast — a batch-cooked frittata made with a dozen eggs, roasted peppers, olives, and feta — as a practical way to stabilize blood sugar from the first hour of the workday and push carbohydrates to the evening, when they support sleep rather than afternoon crashes.Links MentionedDesk topper / standing desk riser — links to be added in episode resourcesWalking pad (compact) — links to be added in episode resourcesContinuous glucose monitor (CGM) — available at major drugstores; pairs with a smartphone appOura Ring — ouraring.comLumaBody metabolic health program — juliedaniluk.comThe Successful Bookkeeper community — community.thesuccessfulbookkeeper.comAbout the GuestJulie Daniluk is a registered nutritionist, TV host, and bestselling author whose work focuses on anti-inflammatory nutrition and metabolic health.

This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠The Primal Skincare.Dr Jason Fung is an expert in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity with science. He will explain why it's not about calories; it's about insulin and cortisol. Both are important for reducing blood sugar and insulin levels. In this episode, we reveal:The Calorie Myth: Why eating less just slows down your metabolism and leaves you trapped.Fat Storage Mode: How high insulin levels physically lock your fat cells so your body cannot burn them for fuel.Reversing Diabetes: Why type 2 diabetes is a dietary disease that can be reversed, not a life sentence.Food Order Secrets: How changing the order of the foods on your plate alters how your hormones react.Fasting for Freedom: Simple, no-cost fasting methods that reset your body and lower your insulin naturally.

What if the cholesterol numbers you've been watching aren't telling you the whole story about your heart? In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia to explore why he believes metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance deserve far more attention when assessing cardiovascular risk, especially for women entering perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Ovadia shares what he's learned after 25 years in heart surgery, including why he's now routinely operating on patients in their 40s and even 30s. They break down the metabolic warning signs that can appear decades before advanced heart disease, from rising blood pressure and waist circumference to fasting insulin, glucose, triglycerides, and HDL. You'll also hear their discussion about cholesterol and advanced lipid testing, how changing hormones can affect women's cardiometabolic health, and why resistance training, real food, muscle, sleep, and blood sugar stability matter. Plus, Dr. Ovadia explains how continuous glucose monitors can provide real-time insight into your metabolic health and the heart imaging he recommends women discuss with their healthcare providers. Listen now to discover the metabolic clues your body may be giving you today and how to start protecting your heart for decades to come. DR. PHILIP OVADIA Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, founder of Ovadia Heart Health Center, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table and Stay Off My Kitchen Table. After performing thousands of heart surgeries, Dr. Ovadia shifted part of his work toward prevention, helping patients identify and address metabolic dysfunction before it progresses to advanced cardiovascular disease. His virtual practice focuses on improving metabolic health as a strategy for reducing heart disease risk. IN THIS EPISODE Why Dr. Ovadia believes insulin resistance deserves more attention in heart disease prevention The five basic metabolic markers he wants women tracking Why your personal blood pressure baseline matters in midlife What fasting insulin can reveal before blood sugar becomes obviously abnormal Why cholesterol alone may not give you the complete picture of cardiovascular risk How muscle and resistance training support metabolic and heart health What a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about food, energy, and blood sugar When Dr. Ovadia recommends considering coronary artery calcium imaging QUOTES “It's never too early to start thinking about this, but it's also never too late.” “Cholesterol is not the main thing driving heart disease.” “Low-fat diets, they simply don't work.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution http://drmariza.com/book Stop surviving and start thriving, join Midlife on Fire Collective now https://drmariza.com/trial Stay Off My Operating Table by Dr. Philip Ovadia Dr. Ovadia Website Dr. Ovadia Facebook Dr. Ovadia Instagram Dr. Ovadia Youtube RELATED EPISODES 769: Is It Perimenopause or Something Else?

Welcome to Diabetes Confessions — a diabetes series where talk about my diabetes confessions and how I've learned to overcome the mental, physical, and emotional toll of living with diabetes. (Episode 2): Pre-bolusing is one of the most important things you can do to keep your blood sugar stable after a meal. I've known that for a long time. And for a long stretch of my life with T1D — I wasn't doing it. Not consistently. Not correctly. And sometimes not at all.In this episode I break down what pre-bolusing actually is, why synthetic insulin needs time to activate before food breaks down and rises your blood sugar, and why skipping this one step is often the reason blood sugars spike to 200+ after meals that should have been manageable. I also get honest about why I still don't pre-bolus every single time — and the specific situations where the math changes completely.This one is practical, personal, and exactly the kind of conversation I wish someone had had with me when I was first diagnosed.If you're consistently spiking after meals and can't figure out why — this episode is for you.

Let's talk about our September 30's Challenge inside the Your Life Nutrition Goal Getters Group! Throughout September, we're focusing on three simple goals:

Blood sugar and carbohydrates can feel incredibly confusing—especially in midlife, when changes in estrogen, muscle mass, sleep, stress, and body composition can affect metabolic health. In this episode, we're breaking down what your glucose, HbA and fasting insulin actually tell you, why you don't need to fear carbohydrates, and why constantly chasing a perfectly flat glucose curve may be doing more harm than good. What "blood sugar balance" means—and why glucose spikes aren't always bad Why carbs aren't the enemy and how to build meals with all macronutrients How stress, under-eating, exercise, poor sleep, and midlife hormone changes can affect glucose regulation Why building muscle, moving regularly, eating enough, and looking at lab trends over time matter more than obsessing over one number or wearing a glucose monitor   Ready to stop guessing about your health & hormones? The Perimenopause Method is my 12-week personalized, private coaching experience for women 40+ who are tired of conflicting advice and want a clear plan tailored to their body.

1 in 4 people have insulin resistance, which quietly raises your risk of heart disease and cancer, often without any change in your blood sugar. And most of those who have it have no idea. It can remain completely hidden for years, with no obvious symptoms and no warning signs… But it can be reversed. Today, Professor Rob Semple, a world-leading expert on insulin resistance, explains what insulin does in your body, why you need it to live, and what happens when it stops working properly. By the end of this episode, you will understand how to spot the warning signs and have practical steps you can take to protect yourself. If your last blood test came back "normal," how confident are you that it tells the whole story? Are you overlooking one of the biggest drivers of chronic disease?

Healthy skin isn't built in your bathroom—it's built inside your body. While most people focus on creams, collagen powders, and cosmetic treatments, the biggest drivers of wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity are happening at the cellular level. In today's episode, I discuss: Why blood sugar may be aging your skin faster than the sun and the hidden process that damages collagen from the inside out The surprising connection between muscle, metabolism, and firmer, healthier-looking skin (especially after weight loss) How your body's natural cellular repair system helps slow the aging process and the habits that activate it The biggest everyday factors accelerating skin aging, and the science-backed strategies that help protect your skin for years to come Healthy skin isn't something you can simply apply—it's something your body creates. By improving your metabolic health, protecting collagen, building muscle, reducing inflammation, and supporting your cells, you can help your skin stay stronger, healthier, and more resilient from the inside out.

There's been a lot of discussion recently about whether a high-fat ketogenic diet can actually cause blood sugar levels to double and lead to insulin resistance.     While the headlines may make it sound simple, the reality is much more nuanced. The way your body responds to a ketogenic diet can depend on how long you follow it, the types of fats you consume, your overall calorie intake, and your current metabolic health.     On today's show, I break down the latest research behind the claims surrounding keto and blood sugar, explain what may actually be happening when blood sugar rises after following a low-carbohydrate diet, and share why the right nutrition plan may look different depending on your individual needs.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3841 to discover whether a high-fat ketogenic diet really can double your blood sugar, what the research may be missing, and why taking a personalized approach to nutrition may be more important than following any one diet plan.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3841 - - - 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?
