She shares her personal journey from being a lifelong “winter hater” to embracing cold and darkness for their unique healing effects. Danielle explains how cold exposure, seasonal darkness, and brown fat activation can mimic many of the same benefits as summer sunlight, from improving insulin sensitivity to lowering inflammation. Listeners will learn how to work with the seasons, not against them, and why leaning into winter can become a powerful tool for metabolic repair.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEHow the loss of UVB light above 33° latitude affects vitamin D levels and metabolic functionWhy people with darker skin living in higher latitudes may need year-round UVB supportThe role of darkness in triggering pineal and mitochondrial melatonin for cellular repair and hormone balanceHow cold exposure boosts adiponectin, improves glucose uptake without insulin, and increases mitochondrial biogenesisThe science of brown adipose tissue (brown fat) and its impact on thyroid health, fat burning, and blood sugar regulationWhy seasonal shifts in temperature and light help balance leptin, thyroid function, and gut healthHow winter “catabolic” repair processes complement summer “anabolic” building phasesDanielle's personal experiments with “cold girl walks” and why gradual exposure works better than extreme plunges for beginnersTips for working with your climate to mimic winter benefits even in warmer locationsHow embracing seasonal rhythms can prevent winter weight gain and support long-term metabolic resilienceIntroduction to SunSense UV Bead Bracelets and Lizards as tools to track UV exposure and optimize safe sun practices year-roundSTAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:You can find me:On Instagram @daniellehamiltonhealth On Facebook at Danielle Hamilton Health.My website is daniellehamiltonhealth.com (scroll down to sign up for my Newsletter!)On my YouTube Channel (make sure you subscribe!)
If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance. Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference. By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest. Time Stamps: (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night?

If you think keto is all bacon, butter, and extreme rules… think again. I sat down with Amy Berger, nutritionist and creator of Keto Without the Crazy, to talk about how a low-carb lifestyle can benefit way more than just your waistline.
In this episode of the Weekly Health Accelerator, Regan Archibald blends personal storytelling with deep health science, recounting an inspiring trip to New York for a friend's 50th birthday before diving into the mechanics of “metabolic burnout” and “hormonal resistance.” He explains how leptin, insulin, and thyroid resistance can silently sabotage energy, fat loss, and overall vitality, often going undetected in standard lab work. Regan explores advanced diagnostic approaches, lifestyle strategies, and cutting-edge peptide therapies like MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, and Tessofensin, which can mimic exercise, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance fat metabolism. Emphasizing that no supplement can replace foundational habits—like daily movement, adequate protein, and intentional relationship-building—he offers listeners a blueprint for looking, feeling, and performing their best well into their later years. www.agelessfuture.com

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. Today we're switching gears a bit to talk about a medication rather than a peptide — metformin. If you're someone who's interested in peptides for metabolic health or inflammation, you've probably heard metformin mentioned alongside them. It's been around for decades as a diabetes medication, but recently it's gaining attention for its potential benefits beyond blood sugar, including longevity, inflammation, and neuroprotection — even in people who don't have diabetes. Let's get into it. Metformin and Longevity Can metformin really help us live longer? One of the biggest sparks came from a 2014 study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, where researchers found that diabetics on metformin actually lived longer than non-diabetics not taking the medication. The authors suggested that metformin may offer protective benefits beyond glucose control, possibly by reducing oxidative stress and slowing cellular aging. This inspired the launch of the TAME trial—short for Targeting Aging with Metformin—which is designed to test whether metformin can delay the onset of age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. While results are still pending, it's the first large-scale effort to study aging as a treatable condition, not just a process. Inflammation and Immunometabolism Next up: inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is at the root of so many health issues—heart disease, dementia, even depression. Metformin appears to blunt systemic inflammation by activating AMPK. Think of AMPK as a metabolic master switch that lowers inflammatory signaling. A 2021 review published in Pharmacological Research found that metformin can inhibit NF-κB, a major pathway that drives inflammation. It also helped lower levels of CRP—a protein made by the liver that rises when there's inflammation from things like infection, injury, or chronic disease—and IL-6, another immune system protein commonly elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions. Because of these anti-inflammatory effects, researchers have been exploring metformin's potential in conditions beyond diabetes, including autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), PCOS, and even COVID—where it's been linked to lower mortality in patients with diabetes. Brain Health and Neuroprotection What about the brain? Can metformin help protect against cognitive decline? There's some promising data here too. A 2017 study in Aging Cell found that metformin improved neurogenesis in the hippocampus of aged mice—basically, helping old brains grow new neurons. In 2019 a cohort study in JAMA Network reported that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin had a lower risk of developing dementia compared to those not taking it. Mechanisms may include reduced insulin resistance in the brain, less oxidative stress, and—again—AMPK activation, which promotes mitochondrial health and energy production. Still, human trials are mixed, and more controlled research is needed before we can call it a “smart drug.” Lower Cancer Risk So, here's an interesting one—can metformin actually lower the risk of cancer? Well, the short answer is: maybe. People with diabetes tend to have a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, so part of metformin's benefit could just come from better managing blood sugar and insulin levels. But what's really exciting is that researchers think metformin might do even more than that. There's evidence suggesting it could have direct effects on cancer cells—like slowing down their growth or making the environment less friendly for tumors. Some studies have found lower rates of cancers like breast, colon, and prostate in people taking metformin. Now, this isn't a magic bullet or anything, but it's a promising area of research that's getting a lot of attention. So metformin might be pulling double duty: managing diabetes and potentially helping reduce cancer risk through other mechanisms we're still learning about. Metabolic Health for Non-Diabetics Now here's where it gets controversial—should healthy people without diabetes be taking metformin? Some researchers argue yes, especially for people with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or high inflammation. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity, reduces liver glucose production, and may even support modest weight loss. That said, there are tradeoffs. Metformin can cause stomach-related side effects (e.g., nausea, gas, heartburn, and diarrhea) and vitamin B12 deficiency (which may lead to nerve damage). It can also cause extreme fatigue. Metformin may sometimes cause sexual side effects, like erectile dysfunction in men. Some studies suggest it might lower testosterone, which we know is important for male sexual health. But interestingly, other research points to metformin actually improving blood flow to the penis, which could help with erectile issues. So, it's a bit of a mixed picture—and it really depends on the individual. And although rare, it can cause lactic acidosis (a life threatening condition where lactic acid builds up in the blood) in older adults, people with advanced kidney disease, or those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol. So it's not a free pass. So what are my final thoughts and who should you take metformin for longevity? Metformin isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's definitely not something to start just because you heard about it on a podcast. We still need more research—especially in people without diabetes—to really understand who benefits most. But it might make sense for some people, like those with prediabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or even older adults looking to support healthy aging. As always, it's something to talk through with your healthcare provider. The science is exciting, but it's all about finding what makes sense for you. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode of Light Up Your Metabolism, Danielle Hamilton explores how sunlight is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools for improving metabolic health, balancing blood sugar, supporting hormone function, and healing from conditions like PCOS. Sharing her personal story of reintroducing carbohydrates without negative symptoms, Danielle explains how different types of light (infrared, UVA, UVB, and visible light) impact mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, hormone signaling, and overall energy production. This episode reframes sunlight as an essential part of metabolic healing, not something to be feared or avoided.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEWhy early morning infrared light is essential for supporting mitochondrial function, blood sugar regulation, and melatonin productionHow UVA light plays a critical role in regulating leptin sensitivity, appetite, thyroid function, and moodWhy relying on short midday sun exposure or only catching sunrise light is not enough to support metabolic healthThe distinct role of UVB light in vitamin D synthesis and why supplements cannot replicate its full benefitsHow light therapy and consistent sun exposure improved Danielle's eyesight, dry eyes, and night vision post-LASIKThe science of structured water, redox signaling, and melanin as biological energy sources influenced by lightHow sunscreen use may interfere with vitamin D production and how to build solar resilience safely based on skin typeHow to tailor light exposure by skin tone and geographic location, using the Fitzpatrick scale and the MyCircadian appDanielle's personal experience of resolving chronic constipation and improving fasting blood sugar through strategic light exposureIntroduction to SunSense UV Bead Bracelets as a practical tool to monitor real-time UV exposure and support safe sun practicesLINKS AND OFFERSEnroll now in Get that D!

Episode Description: In today's episode (originally recorded as an Instagram Live), I'm answering some of your most pressing questions about insulin resistance and the buzz around GLP-1 medications—through the lens of real healing, root cause solutions, and God's design for the body. We're talking about: Why you might still have insulin resistance even if your labs look “normal” What actually happens when insulin is high—even if your blood sugar isn't How long it takes to reverse insulin resistance (and what most people get wrong) Why some people struggle with insulin resistance even when they're not overweight What GLP-1 is, and why it affects hunger and fat loss How to naturally support GLP-1 function without meds What happens when you stop taking medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro And the truth about whether GLP-1 meds fix root issues or just mask symptoms Plus: I'm sharing the exact free resources and tools I use with clients to naturally support insulin, blood sugar, and hormone balance—without gimmicks or restriction.
On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Jillian Greaves @jilliangreavesrd, a functional medicine dietitian and women's health expert, to unpack the complex but often overlooked, relationship between blood sugar balance, hormonal birth control, and fertility. Jillian shares her personal health journey from battling persistent symptoms like acne, bloating, anxiety, and hair loss to uncovering the deeper root causes through functional medicine. We dive into how hormonal birth control impacts your hormones, gut, liver, and micronutrient status, and why so many women feel worse when coming off the pill. Jillian also breaks down why managing blood sugar is essential not only for hormone balance but also for egg quality, ovulation, and creating safety in the body. Whether you're navigating post-birth control symptoms, thinking about conception, or simply curious about how nutrition and nervous system regulation influence your cycle, this episode is packed with insights that will leave you feeling empowered and informed. Key Takeaways: Hormonal birth control suppresses your natural hormone cycle and can lead to long-term nutrient depletion, gut imbalance, and inflammation. Coming off the pill is often a bumpy process that requires patience, support, and targeted care. Balanced blood sugar is the foundation of hormonal health and fertility—swings in either direction can create stress signals in the body. Fasting and trendy diets like intermittent fasting may backfire for women, especially those trying to conceive. Nutrition is powerful, but blood sugar regulation also depends on stress management, sleep, and circadian rhythm alignment. Guest Bio: Jillian Greaves @jilliangreavesrd is a functional medicine dietitian and women's health expert who helps women address the root causes of hormonal imbalances, period problems, and fertility challenges. After facing years of frustrating symptoms and inadequate answers from conventional care, Jillian turned to functional medicine to heal her own body and now supports others through a personalized, evidence-based approach. She offers private coaching, advanced lab testing, and practical guidance to help women feel empowered in their health journeys.

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! Just as a refresher, diabetes is a disease that can cause blood glucose to stay in the bloodstream for prolonged periods. Our bodies secrete a hormone called insulin from our pancreas, which helps glucose be used for energy. When diabetes comes into play, our bodies don't use insulin correctly resulting in increased blood glucose levels in the bloodstream. This can lead to cardiovascular complications, glaucoma, nerve damage and even limb amputation. It's serious stuff that affects nearly half of the American adult population according to the American Diabetes Association. On this week's episode we want to address a few of the consistent questions we've been getting about this issue. There are measures that can be taken early on to help limit your possibility of developing diabetes, mainly stemming from a diet, nutrition, and supplementation perspective. Ed talks about why American diagnoses of diabetes are increasing, the typical problem areas that can be addressed naturally, and basic supplements that can help restore optimal health. Some Topics We Discussed: What is a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes? (6:08) What can impact your A1C levels? (6:45) What are ideal blood sugar levels? (8:59) What are the negative effects of elevated insulin levels? (13:17) What would Ed do if he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic? (14:55) What is the appropriate amount of protein to consume? (24:07) This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm
In this Episode of Barbell Shrugged: What to look for in lab work about your glucose levels What Doctors will not tell you about your glucose levels How to know if you are pre-pre-diabetic Why normal range for your glucose levels could be a bad thing How to regulate blood glucose and why it is important Connect with our guests: Anders Varner on Instagram Doug Larson on Instagram Coach Travis Mash on Instagram Dan Garner on Instagram
kim's story is a full-body exhale for anyone who still thinks carbs = chaos. from fearing fruit to fueling with sourdough and building actual muscle definition, she learned the hard way what most women never get taught: carbs aren't earned, they're essential. years of diet culture made her world smaller—and how lifting, smart fueling, and brick-by-brick consistency rebuilt her body and her mindset.take one minute and voice note how you talk about your body—then listen back. what version of you is driving?this episode dives into the psychological load of dieting—the guilt, the fear of more food, the way restriction becomes your identity. kim opens up about the mindset spiral that came with under-eating and the physical transformation that followed when she finally gave herself permission to fuel, train, and enjoy the process.what if the fat‑loss plateau, the cranky afternoon slump, and that nagging scale‑stall all share one root cause—chronic under‑fueling? in this episode i sit down with kim, a former carb‑phobe (who has type‑1 diabetes) turned diet fatigue into a deadlift party. we rip apart the rules that kept her living on chicken, broccoli, and boredom, and show you how timing carbs around strength sessions can flatten insulin spikes, spike confidence, and finally shrink measurements you care about—jeans, not kilos.we unpack why the scale sabotages motivation, how progress photos can freeze you in perfectionism, and why “stage‑lean” bodies are a metabolic bait‑and‑switch. expect real talk, eye‑roll moments at diet culture, and practical swaps you can steal today: think pre‑lift toast + honey, post‑lift rice + chicken, plus a mindset reframe that turns missed workouts into single bricks—not house fires.if you've ever counted grapes, feared fruit, or apologised for bread, this convo is your permission slip. kim and i dissect the myths that made her world smaller—“carbs store fat,” “keto cures everything,” “cardio is queen”—and rebuild a plan that lets her travel greece guilt‑free, lift heavier every quarter, and drop insulin units while eating sourdough. we cover the brick‑by‑brick method to sustainable recomposition, stress as the silent macro killing progress, and why pumping iron trumps pounding treadmills for anyone over thirty‑five who's tired of feeling soft.win # 1: set a five‑minute timer and list yesterday's meals—notice how low the carbs actually were.win #2: grab a pen and list every food you've felt guilty for eating—then draw a line through the carb-based ones.win #3: after listening, choose one lift you'll measure this week instead of your weight—tag me with the number.want to share your own carb‑comeback story—or need help writing yours? dm me or hit the consult link below. let's chat.find me @transformxruby on instagramapply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkdirect link to dm me on ig: https://ig.me/m/transformxruby

In this candid conversation with Siouxie Bishoff, founder of Scrummy Sweets, we uncover the troubling truth behind food industry practices and ingredients. After struggling with health issues including a connective tissue disease and long-term Lyme, Siouxie began creating her own blood sugar-friendly gummy bears in her kitchen. What she discovered when trying to scale her homemade recipe to commercial production was shocking - manufacturers routinely use harmful chemicals while exploiting labeling loopholes to hide them from consumers.Siouxie shares her battle to maintain product integrity against industry pressure to cut corners, revealing how "natural flavors" can contain numerous concerning additives, and how ingredients banned in Europe for health concerns remain common in American products. Despite significantly higher production costs, she refuses to compromise on quality, sourcing organic ingredients and rejecting harmful additives.This conversation exposes the hidden health impacts of seemingly innocuous treats and demonstrates why having truly clean options matters - especially for those managing conditions like diabetes or epilepsy through diet. Whether you're following a ketogenic lifestyle or simply want to understand what's really in your food, this eye-opening discussion will transform how you read ingredient labels forever.BIG IDEA"I don't want a product that's going to spike your blood sugar - I want a product that's going to help somebody in their health journey, and I know what constant elevated insulin is going to do to a human body."Siouxie Bishoff - Contact InfoWebsite: https://scrummysweets.com/Facebook: https://facebook.com/scrummysweetscoInstagram: https://instagram.com/scrummysweetscoSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
