In this episode Dr. Jockers explains the truth about histamine intolerance and how it connects to allergies, headaches, rashes, and chronic inflammation. You will learn why histamine is an essential immune and nervous system messenger that becomes problematic when the body can't clear it efficiently. This episode explores the early warning signs and what they actually mean for your health.   You will discover how histamine overload develops when gut health, liver function, and key enzymes like DAO and HNMT are compromised. The discussion breaks down why common symptoms like fatigue, hives, migraines, and skin reactions often trace back to this imbalance. You will also understand how internal stressors amplify histamine response in ways most people overlook.   You will also learn the hidden drivers behind histamine intolerance including gut infections, nutrient deficiencies, and everyday medications that interfere with detox pathways. Dr. Jockers outlines how food choices, stress, and environmental exposures all contribute to the overall histamine load. You will come away with a clearer understanding of how to restore balance and support long-term resilience.

https://youtu.be/b_G8krkwKv8 Ganesh Krishnan, CEO of AiHello, is helping Amazon sellers automate advertising, improve profitability, and scale their businesses using AI. Driven by a mission to give entrepreneurs more freedom and enable them to build businesses around products they love, Ganesh shares how AI can eliminate repetitive work while allowing business owners to focus on strategy, innovation, and growth. In this conversation, Ganesh introduces The AiHello Ads Framework: Tap into the Wisdom of Crowds, Find the Right Keywords, Bid at the Right Level, Dynamically Adjust Bids, and Rinse and Repeat. He explains how AI can leverage historical marketplace data to identify profitable keywords, optimize bids automatically, and continuously improve campaign performance. Ganesh also discusses the dangers of AI hallucinations, why Amazon's incentives differ from sellers' incentives, how AI has transformed his own company's operations, and his vision for building zero-hallucination AI systems capable of advancing toward artificial superintelligence. — Build AI Superintelligence with Ganesh Krishnan  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here, and welcome Ganesh Krishnan, the CEO of AiHello, an Amazon Ads automation company helping you grow your revenues, reduce work hours spent on ads management, and decrease your ad costs. Welcome to the show, Ganesh.  Thank you, Steve. Nice to meet you  Well, it’s great to have you here, and let’s jump right in. And my first question is, what is your personal ‘Why,’ and how are you manifesting it in AiHello?  So it started off with my thesis that we all need to do good towards the planet. A long time ago, I started having my own natural things, selling chemical-free, ecological, sustainable, good-for-the-planet, good-for-your-wallet, good-for-your-health items, and I would sell organic items. And eventually, what I realized was that it was taking a lot of my time marketing, managing it, changing the bids, doing everything. I started working more and more on AI because I’ve worked in AI commercially. I worked in AI in my industry. That was my job. So I said, “Why not use, apply that to my own startup, to my own industry for selling organic things?” And once I started selling it, some of my friends reached out and said, “Can we use your AI for our own businesses?” And I said, “Sure, why not?”  And then I started opening it up. And then one person came through and said, “Okay, let’s release it to the general public, see how it goes.” And then as we started earning money, I realized that I don’t need to do a job. I can have this startup, and I can help different people have their own lifestyle. You could have your own lifestyle. You could sell your own stuff that you like, e-commerce, usually on Amazon, and then we help you have your lifestyle. So this is my personal ‘Why’, is we need more equality. We need more people doing stuff they love rather than doing stuff they hate to do, and they hate to wake up and go to work. So do what you love. We are here to empower you.  Wow, that’s amazing. So you are empowering people to start their own e-commerce businesses on Amazon, and you help them with AI tools to get up to speed and compete with the big boys.  That is correct.  Yeah. I love it. So on your LinkedIn profile, you mentioned that you are, I don’t know what the word was that you used, but something to do with superintelligence, AI superintelligence. So what is it that you are doing, and what is your vision of how AI superintelligence can be tapped into?  It’s a very long topic. But to start off with, we used the old form of AI, which is a lot of regression, a lot of statistics, a lot of big data learning, and a lot of neural networks, if you felt fancy. And then LLMs became a huge thing. And we launched AiHello probably six or seven years ago. LLMs became a big thing two or three years ago. And it was pretty fancy. It was very good. It made life easy for us. But we cannot use it within AiHello to give it to clients, primarily because LLMs start hallucinating once you go past a certain context. The problem with hallucination is that it exponentially becomes larger and larger. Because if the previous thesis is wrong, if your previous hypothesis is wrong, then it builds on top of it, and it builds the wrong things.  Hallucination exponentially becomes worse. And when it comes to finance, when it comes to ads, and when you’re working with sensitive data, this can be catastrophic. So you cannot use these large language models for finance, for situations where you need precise data, and especially when you have lots of context. It’s going to lose the context of the first part. Just because you mentioned something at the start of the conversation doesn’t mean it’s not important. It is critical. As humans, we understand what is the most critical part of a conversation, and then we keep that in mind. But LLMs, because of context limitations, just keep on going and start hallucinating.  So a few months ago, we came up with the idea that we could use something like a large language model, but not based on the transformer model. And we could base it on data so that there is almost zero hallucination. So instead of building weights, we build it based on data. And we launched this. We don’t use it on AiHello, but we decided to use it on an email service because we have a lot of emails. We process a lot of emails for clients. We process a lot of emails for specialists. So we could use the zero-hallucination approach within emails, and if it is successful, then we can put it into AiHello.  And we can, of course, release it as an API as well. So this is going to set the basis of artificial superintelligence because what is stopping us right now from reaching or breaching that wall of artificial superintelligence is this hallucination. And of course, there is also logic. LLMs are pretty stup*d. They don’t understand. You can teach them, they learn, but they do not question what you teach them. They always take it on blind faith.  Yeah. Wow. That is genius. I love it. You are going to un-hallucinate AI. And if it stops hallucinating, essentially it becomes a lot more powerful and scalable. AI becomes scalable, or this whole process becomes scalable. That’s fascinating. So your ‘Why’, your mission, is to empower all these people to run their businesses. Do you have a framework for this that you could describe in three to five steps? How do you get someone up and running with their own business on an e-commerce platform? Or do you have any other framework that you could share with the audience? Something simple that they may be able to benefit from? One of the caveats of using AI is that it needs a lot of data. So if you’re just starting out with your e-commerce business, you need to put more of your human intelligence, more of your gut instinct, more of your thoughts, and more of your emotions into building it out. And once you have built up enough data, then you can put it into AiHello and start automating it. So what I would say, if you’re starting an e-commerce business, is hire a specialist who can help you launch off the ground.  Do a bit of the hypothesis work, do a bit of the analysis, and then come to AiHello and start automating it. You can only start automating once you have a good idea of how things work for you. And finding how things work for you is something you need to do on your own. It’s like you can’t start running, or you can’t start driving a car, until you learn how to crawl and until you learn how to walk.  Okay. So basically, it’s the age-old innovation thing that you have to innovate something on your own, and then you can scale it with AI. That is correct.  Yeah. So let’s say I came up with some kind of formula, concept, or product that is currently not being promoted, and I believe it would work. Or maybe I’ve already tested it and I want to scale it. I want to get on Amazon and sell it there. What can you do for me? What are the steps for me to be successful with AiHello’s help? So the first thing when you select a product, is: what are the keywords for it? What keywords do you use for that product? The second would be: what are the bids for that product? For each keyword, what is the right bid to put up? And then you have other things like budgeting. Do you change the bid depending on the time of day? Do you change the bid in total? Those are the things that you need to keep adjusting continuously.  With AiHello, we automatically harvest the right keywords for your product. We change the bid. We optimize the bid. We also do dayparting, where you can change the bid depending on the time of day. So there are different things that you can use AI for. You could certainly do all of it manually, but it’ll probably take you days or weeks to do what AI can do in a couple of minutes.  So a couple of minutes. But doesn’t the AI also need traffic data to be able to define things?  Yeah. So one of the other things about AiHello is that, because we have the wisdom of crowds, if you come up with a keyword, we know exactly how that keyword is going to perform. As you say, you have the wisdom of crowds. Can you extrapolate what you’ve experienced with other products and other customers onto a new product that doesn’t yet have a lot of traffic? Is this what you mean by the wisdom of crowds? Or what do you mean by the wisdom of crowds?  Let me give you an example. Let’s assume you want to sell coffee, and you go to our platform and say, “This is my product. It’s coffee. Help me sell it.” So what we do is, we know this is coffee. What are the keywords around it that are going to help sell it? Because we’ve sold other coffee products, we know that organic coffee sells well. We know coffee in the morning sells well. Black coffee sells well. Caffeine sells well.  And we also know, based on the previous performance of other keywords, what a good bid is for each keyword. If you don’t know the keywords, then of course you have to spend time researching them. And if you don’t know the bids, then you have to spend time researching what bid to put in. But we do all the research for you, and you put it in. And the second part, the bigger part, is that if the bid doesn’t work out, if you’re not selling, then we increase the bid automatically. If you are losing money, then we decrease the bid automatically. So that bid optimization is a critical part of AiHello.  Yeah. We use Amazon ads to promote my books. And yes, it takes a lot of skill to find the keywords, eliminate the negative keywords, adjust the bids, have the right bids, and avoid overspending or underspending. But Amazon also does much of the machine learning. So what is it that Amazon does, and what is it that you have to do? And why doesn’t Amazon do what you have to do?  The most critical piece of information to keep in mind is that your aims and objectives are the opposite of Amazon’s aims and objectives. Amazon’s aim is to make money, and your job is to make money. You don’t care if Amazon makes money or not, and Amazon doesn’t care if you make money or not. So when you put up a bid, when you run ads, Amazon will maximize that ad spend, whatever it is. In some ways, it’s like a casino.  You go to a casino, and the job of the casino is to win money from you, and your job is to win money from the casino. Ads have become a lot like gambling nowadays. You throw money into it. You expect to make money. Ninety percent of people lose money, and they give up. And Amazon always finds fresh sellers to move on. You cannot depend on Amazon because Amazon is not on your side.  Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, I always thought that on some platforms it was really difficult to make money with ads. Facebook, I think, is so competitive that it’s probably very difficult to make money. I know a lot of people who have spent a lot of money on Facebook, but I don’t know very many who have figured out a formula that continues to work. Okay. So you’ve helped someone find their keywords, the right bids, and how to adjust those bids. But what we’ve found is that at some point, ads die, and then we have to switch things up. It actually happens quite frequently that you have to create new campaigns and new ads. So what’s the dynamic there? How do you optimize so that you’re not still supporting ads that don’t work anymore, and you switch at the right point?  So when we say ads, it’s not technically the campaigns. A campaign is just a container for all of your ads. You have products inside it, and you have keywords inside it. So a campaign is made up of products and keywords. And the question is, when you say ads die, did the keywords die? Then you need to add new keywords, right? You always have to keep adding new keywords and testing new keywords. It’s a continuous job of trying to find the right keywords for your book or your product, and then optimizing the bids constantly to make sure that you’re profitable.  You have to make sure that your ads don’t die because of a lack of fresh keywords. And of course, there’s always a limit to the number of keywords you can add because each product has a limited number of keywords that people are searching for. Maybe there’s a long-tail keyword that’s going to make money, but there’s not enough search volume. Or maybe there’s a high-volume search keyword, but it’s not profitable for you. So you have to figure out what the right strategy is for you. Eventually, if your product is good, you’ll make money. If your product is not good, you won’t make money. That’s the bottom line. With ads, you quickly find out if your product…  So essentially, it’s a cyclical thing. So you find the keywords, you figure out the right bids, you adjust the bids, and then you have to find new keywords and keep doing this.  Yeah.  So why do keywords go stale? Do people not search for certain things anymore?  There could be multiple reasons for it. One reason is that a competitor has come in and taken your search volume. And you have to know: are you losing search volume? Are you gaining search volume? Has your search volume dropped off? The second reason is that people are not searching for that keyword anymore. Is it out of fashion? The third is: are you underbidding? Is the bid too low? Again, you would know by the number of impressions. Have the impressions dropped off?  If the impressions have dropped off, is it because of a competitor? If it’s not because of a competitor, are people searching less? Are your bids too low? If the search volume is the same, are people clicking less? Why are they clicking less? Is it your images? Is it your product? Is your product no longer in fashion? I mean, I don’t know. Maybe a few months ago, fidget spinners were really in fashion, and nowadays no one uses them. So those things go out of fashion.  Yeah. The spinners, I remember. They’ve been out of fashion for a while.  Yeah.  Yeah, that’s fascinating. So it’s a never-ending cycle of innovation and figuring out what works and what doesn’t work. So let me ask you this: What drives growth in your business?  Most of the growth is… There are different ways to put it. Four years ago, we used to create a lot of blogs. We used to create lots of content. We used to create lots of YouTube videos. And then ChatGPT came along. If you ask kids now, “Do you Google that?” They don’t know what Google is. They really don’t know what Google is. And that’s not a cliché. It’s surprising. They’ll be like, “What Google?” Everything goes through ChatGPT.  So for us, growth went from Google to ChatGPT. And we didn’t spend enough time optimizing for LLMs on our site. So what drove growth before was blogs and YouTube. And what drives growth now is large language models like ChatGPT and Claude. People just ask ChatGPT, “What do I do about this on Amazon?” It recommends solutions, and then we go through them.  So how do you leverage large language models or AI applications?  This was one of the biggest boosts to our company. We managed to set the processes right. We managed to create the templates. We managed to bring structure to our company. Development work has become ten times faster. The turnaround is ten times faster. We’re able to release features quickly. We’re able to find bugs in our existing code quickly. There are a lot of things going on. If I were to say that our company is no longer the same company it was even a year ago, that would not be an exaggeration. It would be the truth. What we were a year ago is not at all what we are right now.  So in what way did you change? Is it coding that accelerated and changed everything? I mean, in what other ways did you change as a company?  So the code is all done with AI first. Our developers use AI. They put in the prompt, they check the results. There is a second developer who checks whether everything is okay and whether everything is done. And then finally there’s QA, and then we push it to staging. We used to do roughly one-month or forty-five-day sprints. Now we do weekly sprints. So it has gone four times faster. The biggest hurdle for us was managing clients and how we manage them. We never had any structure.  So we talked a lot with ChatGPT. We talked a lot about what the right way was to bring structure and accountability into the system. We managed to set up all the software required for accountability. It helped us fix those issues. It created structure. It created accountability for all the people, and then we implemented that. Finally, the last one, which was the most debatable, is that we require a lot of content. We require a lot of graphics. We require a lot of videos for clients on Amazon. I actually went to buy something on Amazon a few days back, and what was puzzling was that when I zoomed in on the images, you could see they were AI-generated because they all had these silly AI mistakes—spelling mistakes, random words.  So almost everything on Amazon right now, all the images, are kind of AI-generated. It’s hard to blame them. We ourselves use AI for a lot of the images. We make sure we don’t have the silly mistakes, but we do use AI as well. So the turnaround time for graphics is faster because of AI as well. Though some clients do complain that they don’t like AI-generated assets. And if a person looks a bit too AI-generated, they just reject it outright. So that is the most debatable part of it. But overall, our company is called AiHello. It’s AiHello. And if we don’t say hello to AI, then we’re not AiHello.  Yeah. Love it. I love the head and the one arm.  Yes.  The hello, and that’s it.  Yeah.  So what is one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business right now? We are a remote-first company, and I’m struggling to bring about accountability among all the team members. We do have a good number of employees. Ninety percent of our employees are good. Ten percent still have accountability issues. And for me, that is a bit of a hurdle. It is a bit of a challenge to push those people who are dragging their feet about AI. Yeah. Because they are not comfortable with AI. They want to do what they are good at and don’t want to do something new.  There is also a bit of hesitation that they might lose their jobs because of AI, although we’re not planning to let go of anyone. Rather, we are hiring more people because we’re able to grow faster. There is an old saying that companies won’t go extinct because of AI, but companies that don’t use AI will go extinct because of AI. Because we are using AI a lot, there is a chance for us to scale, for us to expand significantly. And I want to tap into this advantage and grow. I want to hire more people, and I want to grow. I don’t want to let people go.  So this is a very good opportunity. You hear about Coinbase letting people go. You hear about Facebook letting people go because of AI. And I think those are all nonsensical excuses. Those companies are not growing very well, and they are blaming AI for letting people go, which I think is absolutely nonsensical. There is a very good opportunity for people to grow and for companies to grow using AI and increase their hiring. If you’re letting people go because of AI, it’s just a nonsensical excuse.  So what do you think is the mental hang-up for people? What prevents better AI adoption or faster AI adoption? A long time ago, when computers were being introduced into many industries, I remember there were huge protests because people thought computers would take away jobs. And it did happen. People did lose jobs because of computers. There were many people pushing papers who lost their jobs. And a lot of people refused to learn about computers because they said, “This is nonsensical. I can do it better by hand.” Can you imagine telling people right now that it’s better to do things by hand than to use a computer?  I mean, if you want to do calculations, please don’t use Excel or Google Sheets. Use a pen and paper and tell me you can do it better. It would be absurd to think that way. But at that time, people really did have the mentality that it was better to do things by hand than with Excel. Now, the AI revolution is probably a thousand or a million times bigger than that. And you can drag your feet. There will always be people who drag their feet and say, “I can do it better. AI is just nonsensical.” And sure, some of that is true. But the overwhelming majority of tasks are going to be done extremely well with AI.  And it’s not just large language models. It’s everything. Regression analysis, data analytics, big data analytics, forecasting, calculations. I’m not even talking about transformer models. I’m talking about everything related to AI. So much can be automated and done by AI that if you’re not involved with it, you’ll get left behind, just like the people who didn’t use computers. Do you feel like people have to be highly educated to be able to use AI? Or can people with less formal education benefit from it as well?  I don’t think it has anything to do with education. I think the learning curve for AI is smaller than the learning curve for computers. If you’re already using computers, you can just install a command-line interface and have things running. Actually, you can go to ChatGPT and ask some questions, and you can build something. But if you want to build serious applications, you can use a command-line interface and build them out. I think the learning curve is probably just a couple of hours to become proficient with these tools. I’m thinking more about this: As AI tools develop and take many of the routine, repeatable tasks off our shoulders, doesn’t that mean we will spend more of our time on high-level thinking and orchestration? And won’t that require some kind of mental ability to do that? It requires you to understand context, understand the implications of things, and be able to connect the dots. So that’s what I mean. The people who can really use AI tools have this higher level of awareness and thinking. They can combine ideas and create new things. But are there AI tools that people with less advanced analytical skills can also use? Absolutely. And you’re 100% right. You’re 101% right. This is what I’ve been advocating for a very long time. Don’t spend your time doing mundane, repetitive daily activities that can be automated. Let AI handle them. You should focus on the things AI cannot do right now, which is human-level intelligence: Strategizing. Planning. Working on the bigger-picture tasks. So you’re 100% right, and that’s the direction we should be moving in. And this brings me back to the point I made earlier: You should do what you love. The things you don’t love, the repetitive tasks, should be done by AI.  Yeah. Love it. So what is your vision, ultimately, for AiHello?  So my vision for AiHello goes beyond AiHello. We have something called HalZero, which is the engine we want to put behind AiHello. It’s a zero-hallucination LLM. And we are working toward making it happen. We plan to release an API for it soon. If it does happen, then we would probably have a model that can take in data and answer general-knowledge questions with zero hallucination. And we’re building it based on how the human brain works. The human brain is not one-dimensional. ChatGPT is one-dimensional. Transformer models are one-dimensional.  You give them data, they run it through the transformer model—the encoder and decoder—and then they give you an answer. But the human brain is built in layers. What we call the lizard brain sits at the base, and as you go higher, things become more and more complex. So the brain is information and action, and everything is filtered through it. Then we act on the filtered result. Machine learning models right now do not have these kinds of filters. They have something similar, which is called chain of thought, but that’s really thinking out loud. This kind of reasoning should exist within the latent space of the machine learning model. It should be built into the model itself.  I’ll give you an example. If you had been taught all your life that the sun is green, and tomorrow you woke up in Virginia, went outside, and saw that the sun was yellow, you’d say: “Oh my God, I’ve been lied to all my life. The sun isn’t green.” You would question what you had been taught based on a single observation. But if a machine had been trained for years that the sun is green, and then it saw that the sun was yellow, it might conclude: “The sun is wrong today because I’ve been taught that the sun is green.” The real test of intelligence is this: Can it question its training data? And the answer is no. It won’t, because it has been trained on that data. It has been trained on those tokens.  Yeah. So that’s AI superintelligence? The ability to question the training data?  That is correct. Yeah. So we build it based on connections. How strong is this connection? How many people have stated this fact? What is my own observation? Which observation is stronger? There is always conflict. In the human brain, there is always a conflict between what people say and what we think. Then our logical brain chooses what is usually the best answer. That is how we have a collective consciousness. We also have a personal consciousness. We always have to decide which one is best.  Love it. Well, that’s great. So if you’re running a business and you need to sell a product, and you want to figure out how to be successful on Amazon, how to leverage your ads, and how not to overspend, where should you go? How can people get in touch with you, Ganesh, and your team? And what’s the first step for listeners?  You can send me an email at ganesh@aihello.com. You can connect with me on LinkedIn. I’m always available, and I’m happy to have a chat with you.  All right. So if you’re listening out there and you’re in e-commerce, or you want to get into e-commerce, and you don’t know how to leverage all the tools that are out there, don’t forget: Amazon is in the business of making money, not necessarily making your business profitable. So you can use AiHello to help you. Reach out to Ganesh on LinkedIn and get your team involved. And if you enjoyed listening to this episode, make sure you check back every week because I have successful entrepreneurs sharing their ideas—or at least some of the good ones—with you. So thanks, Ganesh, for coming.  Thank you, Steve.  And thank you for listening. Important Links: Ganesh's LinkedIn Ganesh's website Ganesh's email: ganesh@aihello.com

The Scottish mystic Syd Banks once said "When the good Lord made us, he gave us a free will and a free mind." But have you ever stopped to think about what those two things actually mean - and what we tend to do with them? Today, Michael explores the two gifts that make us human being, why they're such a mixed blessing, and how they give us a remarkable freedom we don't usually notice that we have. In this episode: Why the real power isn't in what comes to mind, but in what you choose to give your attention to The story of Dolores — who woke up happy every morning, then spent the next hour making herself miserable Why life is harder for humans than it is for sunflowers (and why that's also the point) The one simple rule of thumb for deciding which thoughts are worth keeping How to align your free will with something bigger than your to-do list ________________________________________

If you are as obsessive as I am, I go crazy when I can't find something.  It drives me nuts.  I will search far and wide and I am a man on a mission until this object is found.  I think there is something about the human mind that naturally gravitates toward finding the lost - like lost treasure.  People have crossed deserts, financed expeditions, started wars, and ruined their lives trying to find things that may not even exist anymore.  But there's one object that stands above all of them.  The Ark of the Covenant.  Not because it was worth money, but because of what it represented.  God's Presence.  History.  Proof even!  And maybe that's why people have spent over 2,500 years trying to find it.  Movies turned it into legend.  Historians turned it into mystery. And ever since Raiders of the Lost Ark gave us the line, “They're digging in the wrong place”, people have been convinced the Ark is still out there somewhere - hidden, buried, waiting to be discovered.  Some say it's beneath Jerusalem.  Others say elsewhere.  But one man, in 1982, said, “I found it.”  So today on The Missing Chapter, we're diving into one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries - the search for the Ark of the Covenant.  The only solution to a story so wild and controversial is more coffee.  Caffeine up, everyone, this is going to be a crazy one.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter.Want some Missing Chapter merchandise?

Semaglutide Slows Biological Aging A randomized, placebo-controlled study published in Nature Communications found semaglutide slowed biological aging markers by nine percent on the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock in adults living with HIV-associated metabolic disease, with simultaneous improvements across inflammation, heart, kidney, liver, and brain markers. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this isn't a weight loss story. It's a metabolic inflammation story. He explains why the GLP-1 mechanism hitting insulin signaling, oxidative stress, and inflammatory pathways simultaneously is the real finding, and makes the case that your metabolic markers and your aging markers are the same numbers.

Host Dave Asprey explains why twenty years of regulatory lag left American consumers with inferior chemistry while Europe moved on, why he's watching independent absorption data before updating his own stack, and why consistency of use matters more than perfect formulation when sun protection remains one of the most evidence-backed longevity interventions available.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down why mouse hair regrowth studies have a long history of failing to translate to humans, what a plausible circulation-based mechanism would actually need to show in human trial data before it's worth acting on, and why the molecule itself is interesting enough to keep watching.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down why delivery mechanism is an underrated variable in caffeine optimization, why timing matters as much as dose, and why a modest but measurable edge on a cheap and accessible tool is exactly the kind of practical biohack worth understanding.

Host Dave Asprey explains the actual hepatotoxicity and bone demineralization risks of preformed retinol excess, draws the critical distinction between preformed retinol and beta-carotene that got lost in the misinformation cycle, and makes the case that mechanism is not a dosing protocol and confusing the two is how people get hurt.

Introduction Dr. Arreaza: Hello, everyone, today we continue with our series about sleep. I invite you to listen to Moira Wilson on Episodes 220 and 221 about the approach of insomnia and CBT-I in adults. Today we will discuss not only what to do, but also why it works. We frequently hear advice like ‘get more sleep,' but we need to dig deeper into the physiology behind it. So, Dr. Kim and Dr. Carlisle are here to briefly explain the physiology of sleep and what we can do to support better sleep. But before we start, let's welcome Dr. Carlisle, who recently matched to our program. He will start his residency soon, and Dr. Kim, who will soon become a PGY2, welcome doctors.  Dr. Carlisle: [Introduce yourself].  Dr. Kim: [Introduce yourself].  Dr. Arreaza: Let's start simple. Why does sleep matter clinically? Why Sleep Matters Dr. Kim: Sleep is one of the most important biological processes we have. It's not passive; it's highly active and tightly regulated. It affects cognition, metabolism, immune function, cardiovascular health, and hormonal balance. When sleep is disrupted, you see downstream effects in almost every organ system. Dr. Carlisle: Yeah, and one thing I always emphasize is that sleep deprivation isn't just about feeling tired. It actually puts you in a physiologic state that's very similar to being intoxicated. There are studies showing that being awake for about 24 hours can impair cognitive performance to a level comparable to being above the legal driving limit for alcohol. Dr. Arreaza: That's actually kind of scary when you think about it.  Dr. Carlisle: It really is. Another way to think about it is sleep deprivation doesn't just make you slower; it actually changes how you make decisions. People become more impulsive and less risky. And in medicine, we see that translates into increased medical errors, decreased attention, and poor decision-making. So, from a clinical standpoint, sleep isn't optional; it's foundational. Dr. Kim: Delay caffeine (but not too late), avoid alcohol, and focus on behavioral strategies (put away your phone 1 hour before bedtime).  Dr. Carlisle: And sleep is the foundation of performance. If sleep is off, everything else is compensating. Dr. Kim: And even beyond cognition, even one night of poor sleep can impair immune function and shift hormones that regulate hunger, which is why people tend to crave more food when they're sleep deprived. Dr. Arreaza: I think it's wise to dispel the myth of the “Russian Sleep Experiment”, have you heard about it? Dr. Carlile-Dr Kim: [reaction] Dr. Arreaza: The “Russian Sleep Experiment” is an internet horror story claiming Soviet scientists kept prisoners awake for several weeks using a gas. They developed extreme paranoia, violence, and self-mutilation. Then, the experiment got out of control, the subjects became unrecognizable, they refused to sleep, continued to deteriorate, and went insane. Even though the story went viral in 2010, it is fictional (reaction), with no real evidence that it really happened. So, it is just a made-up horror story. But there are some real studies about sleep deprivation in humans.  Dr Kim: Yes, the most famous case was Randy Gardner (1964) who stayed awake for 11 days. He developed hallucinations, memory problems, and mood changes. He recovered after sleep (no permanent “madness”). Dr. Carlisle: Sure, but as I mentioned before, even one night without sleep significantly reduces performance and accuracy. Dr. Kim: Another myth we fall into is “catching up on sleep”. It is a myth! Sleep Architecture Dr. Arreaza: Sleeping is a state when you reset your brain and your energy, but what actually happens during sleep? Dr. Carlisle: Sleep cycles between non-REM and REM stages. Non-REM sleep, especially deep, slow-wave sleep, is where physical restoration happens. That's when you get growth hormone release, tissue repair, and metabolic recovery. Dr. Kim: And one of the most fascinating things is what happens in the brain during that deep sleep. The space between brain cells actually expands, which allows cerebrospinal fluid to circulate and clear out metabolic waste. Dr. Carlisle: That's the glymphatic system. And what's interesting is that this clearance is most active during deep sleep (Stage 3, Delta waves). It clears neurotoxins like beta amyloid, which is one reason chronic sleep deprivation is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.  Dr. Arreaza: So, your brain is basically cleaning itself while you sleep. The “glymphatic system” is relatively new. It was described in 2010, and it clears substances like beta-amyloid, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Then REM sleep is more focused on brain function. That's where memory consolidation, emotional processing, and learning really happen. Dr. Kim: And REM sleep tends to occur more in the second half of the night. So, when people cut their sleep short, they lose a lot of that REM sleep, which affects mood, focus, and overall cognitive function. What Drives Sleep Dr. Arreaza: So, what actually makes us feel sleepy? Dr. Kim: There are two main processes. The first is the homeostatic drive, where adenosine builds up in the brain the longer you're awake, creating sleep pressure.  Dr. Carlisle: And the second is your circadian rhythm, which is controlled by your brain's internal clock and influenced mainly by light exposure. Dr. Arreaza: So, in summary, one process depends on how long you've been awake, and the other process depends on your body's own timing.  Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. I think of it as pressure and timing. Adenosine builds pressure, and your circadian rhythm determines when that pressure gets released. Dr. Kim: And when those two systems are aligned, sleep happens naturally. When they're out of sync, that's when people start having issues.  Morning Routine Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about practical tips. The morning seems to be a key element in our sleep. What can we do in the mornings to help us sleep at night? Dr. Carlisle: Morning sunlight, without a doubt. Getting light exposure within the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking helps anchor your circadian rhythm. Dr. Kim: And outdoor light is much stronger than indoor light, even on cloudy days. Dr. Carlisle: The mechanism is that light activates specialized retinal cells that signal your brain's clock. That sets the timing for cortisol release in the morning and melatonin release later at night. Dr. Kim: And it also increases dopamine early in the day, which helps with mood, motivation, and focus. Dr. Carlisle: So, you're not just waking up; you're setting up your entire day's physiology. Caffeine and Hydration Dr. Arreaza: Light exposure; I like the idea. That's why phototherapy works for any kind of depression, not only seasonal depression. What other suggestions can you give us about our morning routine?  Dr. Carlisle: Hydration first thing in the morning helps restore plasma volume and improve alertness since we're mildly dehydrated overnight. Dr. Kim: It is also a good idea to add electrolytes to the water. And caffeine timing is huge. If you drink it right when you wake up, you're interfering with your natural adenosine cycle. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, but it doesn't remove adenosine. So later in the day, when caffeine wears off, all that built-up adenosine hits at once, and that's what causes the crash. And that's why some people feel wired but still tired because the underlying sleep pressure is still there, just being masked by the caffeine.  Dr. Arreaza: So, what should people do instead? (I say people because I personally don't drink coffee, and occasionally I drink caffeine) Dr. Kim: People should wait about 60 to 90 minutes before having caffeine.   Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

With so many supplements marketed to runners, it's easy to wonder what's actually worth taking. In this episode, we cut through the noise and focus on a few supplements that have strong research behind them—while emphasizing that no supplement can replace consistent training, good nutrition, quality sleep, and proper recovery.We break down the Three Cs: Carbohydrates, Creatine, and Caffeine.First, we discuss why many runners are underfueling and how carbohydrates play a critical role in performance, recovery, and endurance. Next, we explore creatine monohydrate, one of the most researched supplements available, and its benefits for strength, recovery, and overall health. Finally, we cover caffeine, including how it can improve performance, common dosing guidelines, and why personal tolerance matters.We also briefly touch on vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, and collagen, and discuss when they may be worth considering.In This Episode:Why supplements should never replace the fundamentalsHow carbohydrates support performance and recoveryThe benefits of creatine for runnersHow caffeine can enhance enduranceWhen other supplements may be helpfulAvoiding the optimization trap and keeping things simple03:53 The Three Cs 09:59 Fueling During Runs14:29 Carb Targets And Gut Training20:16 Women Over 40 And Carbs25:03 Adjusting Fuel To Effort28:31 Creatine Explained41:14 Monohydrate and Daily Dose43:25 Caffeine Performance Basics46:23 Dosing and GI Timing47:33 Metabolism and Jitters50:29 Sleep and Tolerance Tradeoffs54:12 Race Day Caffeine Rules56:54 Vitamin D Testing59:34 Magnesium for Cramps01:03:38 Omega 3 Benefits01:05:26 Collagen Versus ProteinGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

In this episode of Church History Matters, we trace the fascinating and sometimes surprising history of the Word of Wisdom throughout the 1900s. How did a revelation originally framed as “not by commandment or constraint” become one of the defining markers of Latter-day Saint identity? Along the way, we explore the influence of Elder John A. Widtsoe and Leah Widtsoe's influential book The Word of Wisdom, the leadership of President David O. McKay, and the growing cultural debates surrounding caffeine, chocolate, meat consumption, and other “gray areas” that shaped Mormon life in the twentieth century. We'll examine how Saints and leaders wrestled with questions the revelation itself does not explicitly answer: Is caffeine against the Word of Wisdom? What about cola drinks? Why did some members avoid chocolate or hot soup while others focused only on coffee, tea, alcohol, and tobacco? And how did cultural traditions, personal opinions, and local teachings sometimes become confused with doctrine?

If you've ever convinced yourself you were dying only to discover you just forgot your morning coffee, congratulations—you and Moon have something in common.This episode begins with Moon's dramatic weekend health crisis, which included headaches, body aches, sweating, canceled plans, and a genuine belief that he had caught the flu. After missing parties, skipping events, and suffering through a soccer match, the shocking diagnosis arrived: accidental caffeine withdrawal. One decaf mistake later, Moon was spiraling. Two rose lattes later, he was ready to conquer the world, write albums, and possibly become mayor of Paris.Meanwhile, the crew breaks down one of the most unexpected party surprises in recent memory when former Blues star Jamie Rivers decides the perfect pool-opening gift for his fiancée Ashley is... live monkeys. Not monkey decorations. Not monkey-themed cupcakes. Actual monkeys. Naturally, the monkeys arrive during a crowded backyard party packed with guests, children, music, and enough chaos to make everyone question several life choices. The result is equal parts adorable, confusing, and mildly terrifying.The conversation somehow escalates into monkey behavior analysis, party planning mistakes, surprise animal logistics, and the realization that getting bitten by a monkey in a bikini was probably not on anyone's weekend bingo card.The gang also recaps King Scott's massive baby shower, complete with mountains of gifts, bacon, desserts, and the looming anticipation of the show's upcoming gender reveal. There are discussions about weird party foods, mysterious hot-dog cake creations, and why some recipes should maybe stay inside family cookbooks.As if that wasn't enough, Rafe conducts what can only be described as investigative journalism by revisiting a local Hooters. What follows is an unexpectedly deep exploration of restaurant culture, paper plates, silent dining rooms, forgotten glory days, and whether a restaurant can accidentally become an existential experience. It's part food review, part sociology experiment, and part cry for help.The crew also tackles one of life's toughest questions: what's the saddest food to eat alone? Cake? Ice cream? A blooming onion? The answers get surprisingly personal as stories of lonely desserts, spaghetti mishaps, old promotional cakes, and questionable life decisions come flooding out.From caffeine dependency and monkey business to restaurant nostalgia and emotional food debates, this episode delivers exactly the kind of beautiful nonsense that makes this daily comedy show what it is. If you're looking for a daily comedy show that can seamlessly connect French coffee, poolside monkeys, hot-dog cake, and Hooters trivia without ever making sense, you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's a belief buried so deep in our culture that almost no one questions it: the more you enjoy your work, the less you should expect to get paid. But what if that's simply not true? Today, Michael revisits a deceptively revealing exercise from his coaching work - a nine-square grid used by a venture capitalist to expose people's hidden assumptions about enjoyment and income. In this episode: The nine-square grid exercise - and what almost no one ever questions when they do it Why the cultural belief that "harder = more money" and "enjoyable = less money" isn't factual What you actually get paid for (hint: it's not your experience of the work) What changes when you separate your enjoyment from your income in your own mind

Is your morning cup of coffee doing you more good than you think? In this episode of Mini Medical School, we dig into the science behind one of the world's most popular beverages — and the answer might just make you feel great about your habit. We cover the chemistry of coffee — from chlorogenic acids and trigonelline to caffeine, mycotoxins, and why what you put in your cup matters as much as the coffee itself. Then we head to mini medical school to learn how caffeine actually works in the brain, why adenosine is the real story behind your morning grogginess, and what the latest research says about coffee's surprising health benefits. In this episode: How caffeine blocks adenosine — and why that keeps you awake Coffee and brain health: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and mood Heart, liver, kidney, and metabolic benefits of regular coffee drinking Who should be cautious — and what the risks actually are The truth about decaf, pregnancy limits, and daily intake guidelines Why the answer to "is coffee good for you?" is more personal than you think Whether you're a gulper or a sipper, black or blended, this episode will give you evidence-based answers — and maybe a little peace of mind. 0:00 – Introduction 1:45 – Mini Medical School: Coffee Chemistry 4:08 – Caffeine & How It Works 6:25 – Benefits of Coffee 9:42 – Risks of Coffee 10:29 – Decaf & Withdrawal 11:40 – Conclusion

Episode 1012 of the Tom Rowland Podcast is a catch-up conversation with kayak fishing tournament angler Dustin Nichols that turned into something I did not see coming — a 192 BPM heart rate at 51, the energy drinks that put him in the back of an ambulance, the BMX comeback that has taken 50 pounds off him at 54, and his honest take on where kayak fishing is headed. Five years ago Dustin came on the podcast for the first time. I had him back this week to find out what had happened since. What he told me ended up being one of the more honest comeback stories I have heard on this show in a while, and I wanted to share why.

If you feel like you can't stop eating, constantly crave junk food, or struggle with overeating, this episode will change how you see food.  Michael Pollan, one of the world's most influential science writers, joins Professor Tim Spector to explain how ultra-processed food may drive food addiction, override fullness signals, and keep us craving more. Together, they explore why foods high in sugar, salt, and fat can feel so hard to resist, and what we can do to fight back. Michael and Tim unpack how the modern food system changed over the last 50 years, and why many ultra-processed foods are designed around “craveability.” They explain how these foods may stimulate the brain's reward systems, why fibre and plants help us feel fuller, and why cooking more meals at home may help reduce overeating without calorie counting. The episode includes practical ways to regain control of your eating habits, reduce cravings, feel better and live more healthy years. If your cravings feel impossible to control, is it really a lack of willpower, or is modern food engineered to keep us coming back for more?

Modern life is neurologically expensive.Stress.Screens.Notifications.Hustle culture.Poor sleep.Caffeine.Constant stimulation.Many people are exhausted, inflamed, disconnected from their bodies… and calling it normal.In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with board certified neurosurgeon, spine specialist, founder of the Institute of Neuro Innovation, and creator of the NeuroVella Brain Spa, Dr. Amir Vokshoor, for a deep conversation around the brain, spine, nervous system, and the hidden cost of modern living.This is not just a conversation about surgery.It is a conversation about the operating system of human life.Together, Bryce and Amir explore nervous system overload, burnout culture, preventative brain care, spinal health, sleep deprivation, modern stress, technology, supplements, peptides, marijuana, motion preserving spinal surgery, and why many people are trying to optimize themselves while quietly ignoring the foundations.Because by the time most people arrive at the operating room, the body has often been whispering for years.At ALLSMITH, we believe peak expression begins by protecting the system that allows us to think clearly, move freely, regulate stress, and fully experience life.This conversation is about building a stronger operating system for the one life we get to live.⸻Support ALLSMITHSubscribe to ALLSMITH on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.Follow ALLSMITH for conversations around movement, mindset, wellness, recovery, and pursuing your peak expression.Instagram@allsmithcoBryce Smith@therealbrycesmithExplore ALLSMITH Coaching, Apparel, Community, and Lifestyle Design.⸻Support Dr. Amir VokshoorFollow @drvokshoor for more on brain health, spinal performance, nervous system optimization, and preventative medicine.⸻In This Episode• Why modern humans may be living in chronic nervous system overload• The story behind Dr. Amir Vokshoor becoming a neurosurgeon• The inspiration behind the Institute of Neuro Innovation and NeuroVella Brain Spa• Brain health, preventative medicine, and caring for the operating system of your life• Hustle culture, burnout, and why high performers struggle to slow down• Sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and the neurological cost of modern living• Spine health, posture, movement, and the root causes of back pain• Why surgery is not always the first option• Motion preserving spinal surgery and spinal disc replacement• Marijuana, dopamine, supplements, peptides, and optimization culture• Technology, attention spans, and the future of the human nervous system• Regenerative medicine, longevity, and the future of healthcare• What a truly healthy human being actually looks like⸻Key Quotes“Modern life is neurologically expensive.”“We are overstimulated but under recovered.”“The brain is the operating system of your life.”“Pain is communication, not punishment.”“The body whispers before it screams.”“Burnout is not a badge of honor.”“Optimization without recovery becomes self destruction.”“The best surgery is often the one you never need.”⸻Key TakeawaysYour brain, spine, and nervous system influence every part of your life experience.Recovery is not weakness.Sleep is not optional.Movement is medicine.Stress compounds.The basics still matter.Modern healthcare is evolving from reactive medicine toward prevention, personalization, and nervous system resilience.Many people do not need more hacks.They need stronger foundations.Better sleep.More movement.Sunlight.Recovery.Connection.Purpose.Because the quality of your nervous system shapes the quality of your life.⸻If this conversation resonates, send it to someone who is stressed, burnt out, struggling with pain, sleep deprived, chasing optimization, or simply trying to build a healthier operating system for life.We are ALLSMITHS.Forged Not Found.Thank you for Listening!

What happens when you remove caffeine, energy drinks, nicotine, nootropics, and every form of artificial stimulation for 40 days? In this deeply personal and science-backed episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC shares her raw experience going completely stimulant-free to reset her system after falling into the caffeine and "uppers" trap during the darkest stretch of the brutal Minnesota winter. Jamie shares what her "case study of one" revealed about stimulants, dopamine, blood sugar dysregulation, adrenal stress, sleep, cravings, nervous system overload, and what natural energy actually feels like. During the busy and dark season, Jamie slowly began leaning on external inputs for energy: caffeine, "clean" energy drinks, pre-workouts, nicotine patches, nootropics, and herbal preparations designed to energize, enhance focus, and otherwise prop her up while she felt she was struggling to maintain adequate levels of energy during the winter. Jamie shares her "red flag" was when she began recognizing symptoms of blood sugar dysregulation and realized her body was no longer running on natural energy. It was running on stress hormones. You'll learn what Jamie did to turn it around and the life-changing discovery she uncovered through this season of her personal wellness journey.  In this episode, Jamie breaks down: What stimulants are actually doing inside the body How caffeine impacts cortisol, adrenaline, dopamine, and adenosine Why stimulants do not create energy. They borrow it. The connection between caffeine, blood sugar crashes, binge eating, and cravings Why sugar cravings exploded after quitting stimulants The science behind feeling "wired but tired" How hyperpalatable foods and stimulants hijack reward pathways The physiological realities of the blood sugar roller coaster most Americans are living on The difference between being a sugar burner versus a fat burner Why "clean" energy drinks still create physiological stress The role of sunlight, vitamin D, hydration, sleep, movement, and nutrient-dense foods in restoring real energy How dopamine recalibration changes your perception of energy, motivation, and focus Why nervous system regulation is foundational to health The modern cycle of caffeine, nicotine, stimulants, alcohol, and sleep aids and why it leaves so many people exhausted Jamie also shares practical, bio-individual strategies for rebuilding stable, sustainable energy through the Foundations of Health, including blood sugar regulation, hydration, restorative sleep, joyful movement, nutrient-dense eating, nervous system support, and learning to listen to your body again. If you have ever felt: Exhausted but unable to sleep Dependent on caffeine just to function Stuck in the cycle of energy crashes and cravings Disconnected from your body Burned out, overstimulated, foggy, anxious, or inflamed This episode is for you. Real energy feels different than artificial stimulation. Once you experience the difference, it changes everything.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls:   Caffeine Geography and Types: Caffeine is found throughout the world and has evolved independently in various plants that are not evolutionarily related through direct lineage, but rather demonstrate convergent evolution (i.e. different species evolve the same traits).  These plants use caffeine as an insecticide.  Examples of caffeine sources include coffee, tea, yerba-mate, guaraná, cacao, and yaupon holly. Roughly 85% of Americans are estimated to consume caffeine daily.   Caffeine Pharmacology in Humans:  In humans, caffeine is a nonselective competitive antagonist (blocker) of adenosine receptors (A1 and A2A).  During waking hours, neuronal metabolic activity consumes ATP, and a byproduct of ATP hydrolysis is created: adenosine.  Adenosine proceeds to build a "sleep pressure".  Acting on A1 and A2A adenosine receptors to induce sleep (on A1, it suppresses neuronal "wakefulness" and on A2A it is believed to be an inducer of sleep).  Caffeine, by blocking those receptors, blunts sleep induction and feelings of being tired.  Caffeine has a half-life of around 6 hours, and a quarter life of approximately 12 hours, which is when the caffeine will off-load and adenosine can once again occupy those receptors, potentially causing a "crash".  Thus, for shift-workers, it is important to time caffeine intake roughly 10 hours before target bed time.  Caffeine exerts other effects on the body.  It is methylxanthine similar to theophylline, which works as a bronchodilator (via phosphodiesterase and adenosine pathways). Caffeine has clinical use to promote bronchodilation in pre-term infants.  Caffeine exerts diuretic effects as well (blocking proximal renal tubule reabsorption).  Recent ingestion of caffeine may blunt therapeutic use of adenosine in patients with SVT.  Key Takeaway? Caffeine exerts a wide variety of effects beyond making us feel more awake. It has cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal implications in its pharmacodynamics.   References    Benarroch EE.

What if you can say all the right words and still miss the point entirely? Drawn from a live training, this episode explores one of the most important distinctions in Michael's work - and why it matters whether you're a coach, a teacher, or anyone who shares this understanding with others! ________________________________________ IN THIS EPISODE The difference between "this" (lived experience) and "that" (intellectual knowledge) Why one transforms and the other just sits there Why the same words land so differently depending on who's saying them How to know which one you're sharing - and what to do about it ________________________________________

Is caffeine really the problem it's made out to be, or is it all in the dose and the timing? In this episode, I break down a major meta-analysis that reveals exactly how caffeine impacts our sleep architecture and what we can actually do about it. Most of us know to avoid coffee close to bedtime, but the lines get blurry when we talk about earlier cutoffs. Topics discussed: - Data on how caffeine impacts total sleep time and efficiency- "Cutoff" time - Factors that extend caffeine's half-life - Oral contraceptives and alcohol drastically change your caffeine metabolism- Dose-dependent recommendations for coffee vs. pre-workout- Practical strategies- Truth about "sleeping just fine" ---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
