A fitness creator posted about a woman's body, called it obesity, and the internet went into full meltdown — but was he wrong? We react to the viral post that racked up 1.5 million views, break down what "obese" actually means, and explain why BMI is an outdated tool that was never designed to measure your health. We also get into what actually matters — body fat percentage, where you carry your weight, and the waist-to-height ratio you should actually be paying attention to. Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8nonbBsA-mTli1KLlHlrA/joinWork with JeanineBook a free consult https://bit.ly/4dUHYZeMike's YouTube Channel:  @escoelitemindsetMike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@escoelitemindsetSupport our Sponsors1UP Nutrition Code: JEANINEhttps://1upnutrition.com/JEANINEHRT & Peptides (Tell them Jeanine Escobar when filling out ntake)https://www.vitabella.comMegaFit Meals - Code Jeanine10 https://megafitmeals.rfrl.co/p75q7Built Bar Code: MRSCEOJhttps://builtbar.com?baapp=MRSCEOJSupport us by following on Social MediaAmazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mrsceo_jLTK Fashion Links: https://www.shopLTK.com/explore/MrsCEO_JShopmy https://shopmy.us/shop/mrsceoj?Section_id=1519253&tab=collectionsInstagram: https://instagram.com/mrsceo_jInstagram: https://instagram.com/candidly_withcoffeeWeight Loss IG: https://instagram.com/@coach.jeanineescobarTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsceo_j

BMI has been treated like a health report card… but it was never designed for that job. In this episode, we unpack where Body Mass Index (BMI) actually came from, why it was created, and how it's being misapplied…especially in athletic populations like runners. If you've ever been told you're “overweight” based on BMI despite training hard, fueling well, and feeling strong… this one's for you. We'll talk about: The history of BMI and why it was never meant to assess individual health Why BMI fails to account for muscle mass, performance, and physiology How endurance athletes often fall into “higher” BMI categories despite being metabolically healthy The harm of equating thinness with health especially in running culture What actually does matter when assessing health and performance as a runner This episode is your reminder: you are not a ratio. And your healthiest running body might not fit neatly into a chart. This episode originally aired May 8, 2023.

Join Kay Mayordomo, PT, DPT as she reviews a 2026 systematic review on the association between BMI and osteoporosis risk. Did you know your BMI could be misleading when it comes to osteoporosis risk? Recent research reveals an association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis. Lower BMIs are often associated with higher osteoporosis risk, especially in women. As BMI increases, the risk generally decreases, suggesting that more body mass can help maintain bone density. But...there's always a but: BMI doesn't tell the whole story. It's just a number, a ratio of height to weight. It doesn't reflect muscle mass, fat distribution, or overall health. Two people can have the same BMI, but vastly different bone health based on their lifestyle and habits. As clinicians, we need to look beyond BMI. Focus on strength training, nutrition, and healthy habits. Help patients maintain their muscle mass and overall well-being. So while BMI can indicate osteoporosis risk, remember it's just one piece of the puzzle. Let's prioritize looking at the whole picture. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41862888/ Want to stay up to date in all things Geriatrics in less than 3 minutes every other week?

The study you should read this week A 2016 meta-analysis from the CMAJ pulled together 46 prospective cohort studies — 1.2 million people, 78,000 deaths. The finding: for every 10 beats per minute higher your resting heart rate sits, your all-cause mortality risk goes up about 9 per cent. Linear from 45 bpm upward, no point where lower stops being better. Independent of blood pressure, smoking, BMI, cholesterol, diabetes, and physical activity. Resting heart rate is carrying its own signal. Plus what to do with this if you race, ride high volume, or train time-capped — and why the adaptations that lower your resting heart rate are the same adaptations that predict a longer, healthier life. Study: Zhang D, Shen X, Qi X. Resting heart rate and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population: a meta-analysis. CMAJ 2016;188(3):E53–E63.

You have been told it is just weight. Just diet. Just effort. For millions of women with lipedema, that is not just wrong. It is decades of unnecessary suffering. In this episode of Bendy Bodies, I sit down with Kasi Grosvenor and Jesse Cochrane from the Lipedema Foundation to pull back the curtain on one of the most misdiagnosed and misunderstood conditions in women's health. Kasi spent decades fainting, being dismissed, and searching for answers before finally finding clarity at the intersection of lipedema and hereditary alpha tryptasemia. Her story is not unusual. It is the norm for this patient population. Jesse brings the science. Lipedema is not obesity. It is not a lifestyle problem. It is a chronic medical condition involving disproportionate, painful, fibrotic adipose tissue that resists caloric restriction and exercise by design. Emerging research points to extracellular matrix dysfunction as a potential shared biological thread connecting lipedema to Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), hypermobility, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). The overlap is not coincidental. It may be biological. We cover what clinicians and patients both need to understand: Why the absence of biomarkers has made diagnosis so difficult, and what the evolving definition of the disease actually means for patients seeking answers. Why lipedema tissue behaves differently from typical fat, and why standard weight loss advice not only fails but can cause harm. What conservative management actually looks like, including medical compression, pneumatic compression pumps, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and specialized manual therapies. The truth about lipedema removal surgery. This is not cosmetic liposuction. It is a medical intervention to remove diseased tissue, and its outcomes depend heavily on what comes before and after the procedure. If you have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to try harder, this episode is for you. Takeaways: Lipedema is not obesity. The tissue is structurally and biologically different, and it does not respond to diet and exercise the way standard fat tissue does. Pain and tenderness in the affected tissue is a hallmark feature, not a coincidence. If you have EDS, HSD, POTS, or MCAS, lipedema may be part of your picture. The biological overlap is real and increasingly supported by research. A normal BMI does not rule out lipedema. Diagnosis is clinical, not based on weight. Lipedema removal surgery is a medical procedure. Calling it cosmetic liposuction misrepresents both the tissue and the intent. The absence of biomarkers does not mean the condition is not real. It means the research has not caught up yet.

In this episode, Reilly, Lilly, and Jenna tackle the most common and often most anxiety inducing question in the period recovery space: Do you actually have to gain weight to get your period back? As dietitians, we hear this question daily from athletes who are hoping they can recover their hormones without changing their body composition. We dive into the physiological reality of weight restoration and why your body's internal safety signals are often tied to specific energy stores.The conversation covers why looking like you are at a ‘normal' weight doesn't always mean you are at the weight your specific body needs to ovulate. We answer listener questions regarding the fear of uncontrollable weight gain, and whether there is ever a scenario where a period returns without the scale moving.Our goal for this episode is to provide a compassionate but evidence based reality check on the role of body mass in functional hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. We discuss the importance of moving away from arbitrary BMI standards and instead focusing on biofeedback markers that indicate true hormonal health. Whether you are currently in the thick of the weight restoration process or you are hesitant to start because of the fear of body changes, this episode will help you understand what to expect from weight restoration during the period recovery journey.The Eat More Carbs Podcast is the go-to podcast for the GIRLIES who want to fuel their body properly with easy, fun, and simple nutrition! Hosted by Reilly Beatty and Jenna Fisher, two registered dietitians who bring you weekly episodes to help you meet your goals while breaking free of diet culture. You can follow Reilly, Jenna and Lilly on Instagram @reilly.beatty.nutrition @jenna.fisher.nutrition @lillyreimer.nutritionStruggle with figuring out what advice you should be following to achieve your goal of period recovery?

I decennier har det kopplats till sjukdom, bristande disciplin och ohälsa samtidigt som ideal, dieter och träningskulturer lärt oss att så lite fett som möjligt är det som gäller. Frågan är om rädslan, ja skräcken, är befogad. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Vi lever i en tid där kroppen ständigt mäts, vägs och analyseras. Fettprocent, midjemått och BMI har blivit sätt att förstå oss själva, trots att många av måtten är trubbiga och omdebatterade. Samtidigt vet forskningen idag betydligt mer om kroppsfettets komplexa roll i kroppen än när många av idealen och råden formades en gång i tiden.Den här veckan undersöker vi fettets rykte och funktion. Vi pratar om varför kroppen så envist vill behålla det, om skillnaden mellan vitt och brunt fett och hur fettcellerna fungerar och är betydligt viktigare för vår hälsa än vi vant oss vid att tänka. Vi följer också fettets historia från antiken via flygvärdinnedieter och det fettsnåla 80-talet till dagens fokus på kroppsmätningar och nya bantningstrender.Medverkande: Karin Stenkula, universitetslektor och forskare vid Institutionen för experimentell vetenskap på Lunds universitet, näringsfysiologen Kristina Andersson, Peter Arnér, professor och forskare vid Institutionen för medicin, Karolinska institutet, Magnus Västerbro, historiejournalist och författare, Anatoli Grigorenko, idrottsforskare, och Oskar Sandgren.Programledare: Ulrika Hjalmarson NeidemanProducent: Linnéa WanneforsReporter: Caroline Mathiasen

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Senobi breathing, a Japanese breathing technique that headlines are claiming can help you lose weight. The buzz is based on a 2010 study from Japan that found some pretty compelling hormonal and body-composition changes in participants who practiced this simple one-minute exercise three times a day. Could a few deep breaths in a specific posture really shift your metabolism, activate your nervous system, and burn body fat? Jenn digs into the actual study, breaks down what Senobi breathing is, why it might work, and what the science does and does not actually tell us. She sees the intrigue, but does she buy it?

Läkemedel för viktminskning toppar försäljningslistorna. Och efterfrågan är enorm. Hittills har patienterna fått betala själva men nu ska frågan om vem som ska stå för notan tas upp i domstol. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. En ”gamechanger” för patienterDen nya typen av viktminskningsmediciner har på kort tid blivit globala försäljningssuccéer. ”De är en gamechanger. Här har vi en möjlighet att komma till viktnedgångar som vi aldrig sett tidigare med medicinsk behandling”, säger Ylva Trolle Lagerros som är professor och överläkare vid Centrum för obesitas i Region Stockholm.En miljard människor med obesitas globaltHär i Sverige beräknas över hälften av den vuxna befolkningen vara överviktig eller ha obesitas, som det kallas när man har ett BMI över 30. Hittills har de som velat ta de nya medicinerna, Wegovy från Novo Nordisk och Mounjaro från Eli Lilly, fått betala ur egen ficka. ”Är du fattig får du vara fet, så enkelt är det”, säger Daniel Brodén som själv betalar runt 5 000 kronor i månaden för sin medicin.Staten vs läkemedelsbolagenMen nu har kampen om vem som ska betala framöver trappats upp till att bli en juridisk strid – med staten på ena sidan och läkemedelsbolaget Novo Nordisk på den andra. ”Obesitas är en allvarlig kronisk sjukdom och den borde få samma förutsättningar som andra kroniska sjukdomar”, säger Mikael Pennanen, chef för samhälls- och myndighetskontakter på Novo Nordisk Sverige. Juridisk stridI februari avslogs deras ansökan om att Wegovy ska subventioneras för patienter med svår obesitas och flera följdsjukdomar. TLV, Tandvårds- och läkemedelsförmånsverket, menar att risken är stor att medicinen skrivs ut till fler än det är tänkt – och att kostnaderna för skattebetalarna riskerar att skena. ”Det är väldigt många som använder de här läkemedlen och det är många som vill ha dem, och vi saknar möjligheter att följa upp att de bara skrivs ut till de mest behövande”, säger enhetschefen Per-Henrik Zingmark. Nu ligger bollen hos Förvaltningsrätten i Stockholm.Programledare och producent:Hanna MalmodinMedverkande och röster i programmet:Ylva Trolle Lagerros, professor vid Karolinska Institutet och överläkare vid Centrum för obesitas i Region StockholmKnut Kainz Rognerud, ekonomikommentator Mikael Pennanen, Head of National Market Access & Pipeline Novo Nordisk Scandinavia ABPer-Henrik Zingmark, enhetschef TLV Daniel BrodénKatarina Steen Carlsson, forskningschef Institutet för hälso- och sjukvårdsekonomi IHEDavid Ricks, vd Eli Lillyekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se

Most people with EDS or HSD have been told to "exercise more," "eat better," and "sleep on a schedule," usually by someone who has never tried to do any of those things in a hypermobile, pain-flaring, dysautonomic body. This episode is different. Dr. Linda Bluestein and Dr. Dacre Knight break down the foundational layer of the MENS PMMS treatment algorithm, a structured framework built specifically for the complexity of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders. MENS stands for Movement, Education, Nutrition, and Sleep. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level advice to explain what each category actually means when your connective tissue, nervous system, and autonomic function are all working against you at once. You will learn why standard physical therapy can set EDS patients back and what to look for in a provider who actually understands joint protection. You will understand central sensitization at a biological level, not just as a buzzword, and why reframing pain as a nervous system state rather than a structural inevitability changes everything. You will hear why nutrition conversations for the EDS population need to start with GI dysfunction and malabsorption, not calories and BMI. And you will finally get a clear explanation of why pain and poor sleep feed each other in a vicious cycle, and what interrupts it. Whether you are a patient who has heard "your labs are normal" one too many times, or a clinician building a practice that actually serves this community, this episode gives you a concrete starting point. The body you are working with is not broken. It just needs a different playbook. Takeaways: Why most PT makes EDS worse before it makes it better, and the "slow and low" approach that actually builds joint stability without triggering a flare. The neuroscience of "no plastic" pain. Central sensitization is not in your head. Understanding how the nervous system learns to amplify pain is the first step toward teaching it something different. Nutrition beyond BMI. In EDS and HSD, postprandial distress, malabsorption, and GI dysmotility are often the bigger drivers of health outcomes than anything showing up on a standard nutrition screening. The pain-insomnia trap. Pain activates your sympathetic nervous system. A revved-up sympathetic nervous system blocks restorative sleep. Poor sleep amplifies pain sensitivity. Here is how to break the cycle. Motion is lotion, done right. Low-impact, recumbent movement is not a consolation prize. It is one of the most effective tools for stabilizing autonomic function in this population. Go AquaTru.com now for 20% off (your purifier) using promo code BENDY.

Guest: Rebecca BlakeShow Notes:Registered dietitian Rebecca Blake unpacks what diet culture really is, how it quietly shapes the way we see food and our bodies, and why weight and BMI don't define health. This conversation explores how social media and cultural ideals can push us toward restriction and body criticism without us realizing it.You'll learn how to spot subtle red flags in nutrition content, rebuild trust with your hunger and fullness cues, and begin redefining health beyond the number on the scale. This episode offers a more compassionate, realistic path toward healing your relationship with food and your body.Guest Bio:Rebecca is a registered dietitian and clinical nutrition subject matter expert, having worked across traditional healthcare spaces, into health technology, and most recently as a full-time solo practitioner focusing on preventive health, hormonal health, and disordered eating.Quote:“So here's what I'll say about diet culture. We are all privy to it, influenced by it and in many ways victimized by it every single day, knowingly and unknowingly and mostly unknowingly.”Question of the Day:What is one belief about food or your body that you started to unlearn, and how has it changed the way you approach eating or self-care?On This Episode You Will Learn:What diet culture really is and the subtle ways it shapes how we think about food, body image, and health every day.How social media, wellness trends, and “healthy eating” content can reinforce harmful food rules and unrealistic body standards.Why health is about more than BMI or the number on the scale, and what “Health at Every Size” actually means.How to rebuild trust with your body by reconnecting with hunger and fullness cues instead of restrictive dieting rules.Practical mindset shifts to create a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food, self-care, and body image.Connect with Yumlish!Yumlish Website: YumlishYumlish on Instagram: @yumlish_Yumlish on Facebook: YumlishYumlish on Twitter: @yumlish_Yumlish on LinkedIn: YumlishConnect with Rebecca Blake!Website URL: wwwrebeccablakenutrition.comInstagram URL: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccablakenutrition/Facebook URL: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563918696083LinkedIn URL: Rebecca Blake, MS RD CDN | LinkedIn

What if the key to your health had nothing to do with willpower? Dali sits down with Mandi Murrow, holistic and integrative health coach and founder of Rooted Holistic Wellness, for a conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about getting healthy.Mandi shares her journey from hairstylist and salon owner to farm life, yoga teacher, health coach, and now hormone balancing specialist after having a baby at 46. She breaks down the three pillars she believes every body needs: gut health, nervous system regulation, and sleep, and explains why fixing those first makes everything else easier.They also talk about why BMI is outdated, how first-generation immigrants often struggle with weight due to changes in food quality and activity level, and how to honor your cultural foods while still making healthier shifts. Plus, Mandi shares her powerful philosophy: shame is worse than sugar.In this episode:The gut-brain connection and what leaky gut actually meansWhy weight loss is secondary to how you feelPrograms for intuitive eating, hormone balancing, and GLP supportHow Mandi holds clients accountable without judgmentMenstrual cycle education for teens and adultsBlue zones, community, and the science of slowing downConnect with Mandi: Website: https://www.rootedholisticwellness.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/rootedholisticcoacFacebook: https://facebook.com/RootedHolisticWellnessLearn more about Dali: https://www.DaliTalks.com/LinkTree

If you are trying to get into the best shape this summer and lose body fat to look leaner, you've probably wondered how you should actually measure your progress. If so, you're not alone! In today's episode, I'm breaking down the two most common measurements women ask me about during a fat loss journey: BMI (Body Mass Index) and body fat percentage — and discussing which one is more helpful if you're trying to track real progress. By the end of this episode, you'll understand the difference between BMI and body fat percentage, what each one actually measures, and why neither number tells the full story on its own. I'm also diving into body recomposition, muscle mass, and the better ways to track fat loss progress so you can stop obsessing over a single number and start focusing on what's actually helping you get leaner, stronger, and more confident.

Could GLP-1 medications be the missing piece in treating inflammatory skin disease? In this episode of Science is Skin, Dr. Ted Lain sits down with Dr. Lindsey Bordone — former Columbia University associate professor of dermatology, now in private practice at Bordone Dermatology in Scottsdale, Arizona — for a deep dive into metabolic disease and the skin. Dr. Bordone was among the first dermatologists to prescribe GLP-1 agonists for her patients, and in this conversation she explains exactly why. From the link between hyperinsulinemia and chronic inflammation to the visible skin signs of insulin resistance — skin tags, acanthosis nigricans, forearm hair loss — she makes the case that dermatologists are uniquely positioned to catch metabolic disease before any other specialty. Dr. Bordone walks through how she uses tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), and the emerging triple-G drug retatrutide, including her lab protocols, dosing philosophy, how to manage GI side effects, and the surprising interaction between GLP-1s and estrogen therapy. In this episode: Why high BMI reduces biologic efficacy in psoriasis patients How to check fasting insulin (HOMA-IR) and why most physicians aren't doing it Skin signs of insulin resistance: skin tags, forearm hair loss, and neck skin thickening Tirzepatide vs. semaglutide vs. retatrutide — how to choose and when Retatrutide's remarkable 93% fatty liver clearance rate in clinical trials The truth about sarcopenia and muscle loss on GLP-1 medications Dosing protocols, side effect management, and when NOT to escalate quickly Protein intake recommendations during active weight loss Estrogen and GLP-1 synergy — what dermatologists need to know Lab work to run before and during GLP-1 therapy How to build an insurance case for continued medication coverage Resources mentioned: HOMA-IR fasting insulin/glucose testing AAD resources on metabolic dermatology Bordone Dermatology — Scottsdale, Arizona Enjoyed this episode?

Medicare has spent years telling obesity patients: your medication isn't covered. Starting July 1, 2026, that may finally start to change. In this episode, I will break down the new Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Demonstration Program — what it is, who qualifies, and which medications may be covered. This is not just a policy update. For thousands of patients who have paid hundreds of dollars out of pocket or given up on treatment altogether, this pilot program represents a real opening. The biggest barrier to obesity treatment has never been willpower. It's been access.  This episode is your first look at what's coming and whether it applies to you. Episode Highlights: What the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program is  Which medications may be covered  The three eligibility groups by BMI and medical condition  Why this program matters beyond medication What the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) is and why it still needs to pass Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Lee Neilson, Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Iowa and staff neurologist at the Iowa City VA specializing in movement disorders, to discuss his groundbreaking research examining whether obstructive sleep apnea represents a modifiable risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Dr. Neilson's ambitious study analyzed records from 13 million patients within the VA system to investigate whether OSA is associated with higher risk of neurodegenerative disorders and whether treating sleep apnea might help delay the onset of dementia. The conversation traces the research design from initial hypothesis through methodology, explaining how he narrowed this massive dataset and defined both OSA diagnosis and Parkinson's disease progression. Critical methodological details emerge: How was OSA diagnosed—through sleep testing, and using 4% or 3% hypopnea criteria? How did the study differentiate between mild and severe sleep apnea? How was Parkinson's disease identified—through clinical notes, medication records, or longitudinal follow-up? Dr. Neilson clarifies whether the analysis included only PD or extended to other neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. The core findings receive extensive examination: Did CPAP therapy have a modifying effect on PD risk? After adjusting for confounding factors including BMI, diabetes, depression, and hypersomnia, which variables mattered most? What was the number needed to treat to prevent one case of Parkinson's disease? Could hypoxic burden be examined as a potential mechanism? Intriguing tangential discussions explore whether idiopathic RBD can be distinguished from trauma-related RBD and whether these represent separate pathological processes. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into the neuroprotective effects of smoking in Parkinson's disease, with Dr. Neilson explaining proposed mechanisms and drawing parallels to ischemic preconditioning that might occur with OSA. The episode addresses severity gradients—did OSA severity correlate with PD risk? It also tackles a fundamental question: Does treating sleep apnea delay dementia onset or actually prevent it? Dr. Neilson discusses whether non-PAP therapies were examined and addresses a critical ethical concern in sleep apnea research: Is it irresponsible to withhold treatment from symptomatic patients, and did this study focus on non-sleepy individuals or include all OSA patients regardless of symptoms? This research has profound implications for how sleep medicine practitioners frame the importance of OSA treatment with patients and families. Beyond addressing immediate symptoms like sleepiness, treating sleep apnea may reduce long-term neurodegenerative risk—a compelling motivation for adherence that extends beyond quality of life to disease prevention. Whether you're counseling patients about the importance of OSA treatment, interested in the sleep-neurodegeneration connection, or seeking evidence-based approaches to discussing long-term benefits of therapy, this episode provides essential insights. Join us for this important conversation about how the work sleep medicine practitioners do every day may profoundly impact patients' neurological futures.

Americana/Folk artist Ismay (Avery Hellman) was in a Lucinda Williams cover band started by their father early in her adult life. As a singer-songwriter herself, the musician, rancher and self-identified “dreamer” went looking for more understanding of the legendary singer-songwriter and produced an outstanding documentary called Finding Lucinda. The film documents their journey of more self-discovery than anything else, but their interviews and path to learn more about Lucinda led them to understand Williams grew up the daughter of, and surrounded by poets. The result, besides the beautifully done film, was Hellman decided to learn to write poetry. Those learnings and evolution in their artistry led to their next big project – a new album called Half Truth, due out June 12th on Fossil Records.  Frank and Falls chatted with Hellman about the film, Lucinda Williams, poetry, and the new album on this week's episode of Roots Music Rambler. The trio also discussed Fossil Records, a new label co-founded by Hellman and friend of the show Margo Cilker (see Episode 35). There was a lot to cover and unpack with Hellman's journey and art.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down new research on male obesity and fertility and explains why a man's weight may matter more in IVF than many people realize. This study looked at donor egg ICSI cycles and found that male obesity was associated with delayed early embryo development, lower inner cell mass quality, and a higher miscarriage rate, even though fertilization, blastocyst development, implantation, and clinical pregnancy rates were fairly similar across groups. Dr. Amols explains what this means in plain English for patients and clinicians, why a normal semen analysis does not always tell the whole story, how sperm health may affect embryo development after fertilization, and why fertility should be viewed as a couple's issue, not just a female issue. If you want to understand the connection between male BMI, sperm quality, IVF outcomes, embryo development, and miscarriage risk, this episode breaks it down in a way that is clear, practical, and evidence-based. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Kimberly Rockwell, Dawn "Sam" Alden, and Lauren Torres talk about what it feels to walk through life as a woman in a large body, what feedback women receive about their bodies, and how the current emphasis on thin bodies to the exclusion of everything else can destroy us both from within and without. What messages did we absorb from our parents about what size was optimum for women? Why do we still believe the "calories in, calories out" message, despite it being just plain bad science? Why don't we understand more about what really affects our body size? And why does it freaking matter anyway???

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREThis Morning Meeting episode uses Tyson's fitness journey and a “slightly high” BMI score as a metaphor for how easily law firm owners can obsess over the wrong numbers and miss the ones that actually drive freedom and profitability. Tyson walks through the gap between vanity metrics and meaningful metrics, from BMI vs body fat to revenue vs profit, and shows why some of the most celebrated law firm numbers actually tell you almost nothing about the health of your practice.You'll hear how his firm used one primary metric, average fee, to dramatically increase case value over 15 years, and why lead volume, signed cases, and employee headcount often create the illusion of progress while hiding serious problems underneath. Tyson then reframes success around better questions: What if “growth” meant less chaos, fewer fires, and fewer hours at the office, while the right numbers still go up? He shares practical metrics to consider, like profit per case or team, qualified leads, and owner work hours per week, and challenges you to build a simple scoreboard that fits your firm instead of copying someone else's dashboard.If you've ever felt proud of your top-line revenue but unsure whether your firm is actually working for your life, this episode will help you sort the numbers that really matter from the ones that just look good on paper.Highlights00:00 – Tyson shares his “cutting phase” story and how a “slightly high” BMI score sparked this conversation about tracking the right numbers in your firm.01:45 – BMI vs body fat: why one metric labels him “overweight” while another shows he's in great shape, and how that mirrors misleading metrics in law firms.02:20 – Revenue vs profit: why a firm making one million in revenue might still be in trouble, and why profit tells a much clearer story03:30 – “Not everything that is measured matters…” Tyson unpacks the famous quote and applies it to the mountains of data most firms track but never use.04:10 – Average fee as the “main number”: how tracking this one metric took his firm from $7,400 to about $25,000 per case over 15 years.07:10 – The illusion of progress: Tyson explains how revenue, lead volume, signed cases, and employee headcount can become pure vanity metrics.08:55 – Redefining growth as less chaos: exploring hours worked per week as a more honest signal of whether your firm is truly serving your life.09:35 – The MaxLawCon Jason Selk challenge: rethinking success as leaving later, arriving earlier, and rejecting “first in, last out” as your main value metric.11:15 – Metrics that actually matter: profit per case, profit per team, qualified leads, and ideal-client cases as better levers for high-performing firms.12:25 – Keeping the main thing the main thing: why every firm needs one core number to focus the team and filter out the noise of vanity metrics.Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

A discussion on the concepts of weight-inclusive care and healthismSome comments on medicine's biggest failures

"If, then, the infinite benevolence of God wins our love, certainly His justice commands it; and were we able, as the Saints made perfect are able, to combine the notion of both in their separate perfections, as displayed in the same acts, doubtless our awe and admiration of the glorious vision would be immeasurably increased." St. John Henry Newman's Oxford Sermons, delivered during his time as an Anglican preacher at the University of Oxford, were instrumental in shaping the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive High Church traditions within the Church of England and ultimately led to many conversions to Catholicism. In addition to the profound influence these sermons had on both Anglican and Catholic theology, they also bore a personal significance for Newman's own conversion to Catholicism years later. These fifteen sermons, though deeply interconnected in theme and insight, are not sequential in nature; rather, each stands on its own as a distinct and self-contained reflection on faith and reason. Newman lays the groundwork for themes developed in later works, such as Grammar of Assent and Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. In this sixth sermon, Newman opposes the sentimental tendency to portray God as mere benevolence, insisting instead that true religion acknowledges God's perfect justice together with His mercy.

So we get practical about the real decision: not “Do I want a GLP-1?” but “What problem am I trying to solve?” If the goal is better metabolic health, less sleep apnea burden, improved blood pressure, or a long-term plan for obesity as a chronic disease, the conversation changes fast.We break down who should seriously consider GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro, including the common BMI thresholds and the “BMI plus comorbidity” situations. We also talk about the people who have truly done the nutrition and exercise work, lost weight, and watched their body push back with hunger and regain. That's where appetite dysregulation and biology matter, and where GLP-1s can become a powerful tool instead of a moral debate.We also cover who should pause before starting: anyone chasing a quick fix, anyone who hasn't built foundational habits, or anyone who isn't ready for the trade-offs like nausea, fatigue, or constipation. We dig into safety and long-term expectations, why stopping often brings symptoms back, and why easy access through med spas and low-oversight online clinics can be risky, especially with disordered eating history. If you want a calmer, more responsible way to decide, we'll help you map the choice to your story.Subscribe for more practical health conversations, share this with a friend who's on the fence, and leave a review if it helped.

Is there an ideal “race weight” you should strive for? Should you measure body fat percentage and know your BMI in addition to information from a standard scale? Dr. Krista Austin and Advanced Sports Dietician Taryn Richardson answer these questions and more! Krista and Taryn help you identify areas of improvement by discussing weight from a health and performance perspective.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Darem: Hey, Dr Cabral. I recently did a health assessment where everything went well except my practioner telling me I'm overweight according to BMI which was 26.0. She then went off textbookedly (sic) saying to exercise more, eat more fruits & veggies etc. I already do all that for years. I'm 5'6, 161lbs, lean, muscular, 6 pack abs. Around 10% BF. How can I still be overweight      Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about garlic. In a recent podcast you talked about the many benefits of garlic and of consuming at least a clove a day. Do we get the same great benefits of garlic (including cancer prevention) if it is cooked, roasted, baked as part of a recipe, etc., or does it need to be raw? (I know you talked about smashing it and letting it sit for 5 minutes.) Thank you!      Julie: Hi Dr. Cabral, My daughter (age 3 at the time) was diagnosed with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC). It took awhile to properly diagnose and be treated since it is so rare in children. She was put on multiple medications including antibiotics for about 2 years (ethambutol, rifampin & azithromycin). She is now 9 and doing great, but we recently noticed symptoms of Raynaud's Syndrome. While I am waiting for an endocrinologist appointment I was hoping to see if you had any insight as to what would put her in a compromised state to begin with to be able to contract MAC. And now should I be testing and treating her with protocols to make sure her rain barrel isn't overfilling and if so what do you suggest at this young age?      Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - hope you and the family are doing well! I have a quick question regarding the GLP Tone and Metavolve systems. I've done both and love them both! I am currently on Metavolve and have been for the last few months. I don't follow the diet plan it comes with strictly, but I do follow your baseline of a Mediterranean diet. I feel really good and am losing weight just more slowly. I'm 56 post-menopausal and am healing on the inside out. My question is can both of these systems be used long term? Are they safe to do so and when I do transition off of Metavolve do I need to do it slowly? Thank you for creating such amazing supplements to assist us in this life long journey of health!      Bob: Hello dr Cabral I wanted to ask for your thoughts on what might cause and what to do with this issue. I normally walk about 10k steps a day and either at mornings or nights have a longer walk about 5 to 6000 and make up the remaining steps throughout the day. But when taking the longer walk I have notice it seems my hands start to swell while walking. I have even noticed it in my wrist as my watch band gets very tight. I don't pump my arms very much when walking and feels harder to make a fist when this happens. Any advise on this for me. It does seem to go back to normal after stopping in few hours      Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3711 - - - 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?
