Today, Heather Creekmore explores the concept of sustainability in our approach to weight loss, health, and spiritual growth. She unpacks how our cultural obsession with quick fixes and urgent physical transformation is often driven by fear, impatience, and even greed—rather than lasting, loving stewardship of our bodies. Heather Creekmore shares her own experiences with unsustainable health practices, lessons learned through her journey, and why so many common diet strategies fizzle out in the long run. She encourages listeners to shift focus toward habits that will support lifelong health—mentally, physically, and spiritually—rather than falling for every “latest trend” diet that comes along. Key topics in this episode: What does true sustainability look like in health and weight loss? Why rapid body change can often signal unsustainable and unhealthy patterns The dangers of fear, urgency, greed, and lust driving our self-care choices How to align your goals with patience, love, and long-term thinking Questions to ask yourself: Is this habit something I can keep up for life? How to invite God into your health and wellness decisions rather than just following the cultural noise Take the Next Step: Join the 40 Day Journey! Are you ready to rethink your approach and start building sustainable, God-honoring habits around your body image and health? Heather Creekmore is inviting you to join her 40 Day Journey beginning right after Easter in April! This journey dives deep into sustainable practices for your mind, body, and soul while helping you process body image from a biblical perspective. You’ll find actionable guides, daily support, and a like-minded community ready to walk this out together.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." 

Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede is the author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She links diet to the mental health crisis and dementia risk. Ede explains that conventional psychiatric training ignored nutrition, and she later incorporated dietary strategies alongside medication and psychotherapy after personal health experiences. She emphasizes focusing on metabolic and nutritional quality—especially stabilizing blood sugar and insulin—rather than simplistic plant-vs-animal messaging. She argues some animal foods are needed for brain nutrients like B12 and EPA/DHA. She discusses ketogenic diets as a way to lower insulin, produce ketones, improve brain energy, and reduce inflammation, citing case reports and a study of hospitalized patients where many improved and 44% reached remission. She critiques nutrition epidemiology as unreliable and outlines three “quiet” dietary tiers: whole-food low-glycemic, ketogenic, and carnivore, plus practical issues like electrolytes and gradual transition.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

If you're trying to lose fat but struggling to stay within a calorie deficit, today's episode is for you. When your calorie budget is smaller during fat loss, every choice matters. That's why today I'm sharing foods I personally refuse to waste my calorie budget on — and introducing a concept I teach my clients called "worth-it foods." Calories are like money, and what you choose to spend your "budget" on has a huge impact on whether you hit your targets and actually lose body fat. If you've been struggling with constant hunger, feeling unsatisfied, or mindlessly spending calories on foods that don't move the needle for your goals, this episode will help you become more intentional with your choices… and see better results because of it.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietician nutritionist, shifts the discussion beyond cholesterol and statins to “hidden” cardiovascular risks from insufficient vitamin K and folate intake. Citing Cleveland Clinic and other research, she notes a high prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in the U.S. and widespread inadequate folate intake globally, including low folate levels among women of reproductive age. She explains that vitamin K2 may help inhibit arterial and soft-tissue calcification via activation of matrix GLA protein, with studies linking higher K2 (MK-7) intake to lower coronary heart disease risk and slowed coronary artery calcification. Folate supports vascular function through homocysteine metabolism, with evidence associating higher folate intake with lower cardiovascular mortality, emphasizing active 5-MTHF over folic acid due to conversion limitations in many people. She also notes statins can downregulate vitamin K metabolism and encourages discussing risks, benefits, and supplements with a doctor.

Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona, details improving senior care beyond “warehousing.” Cranmer describes his path from Air Force pilot to assisted living operator and explains changes he implemented over 12 years, emphasizing meaningful exercise (walks, strength training, yoga, multitasking drills) and an “exercise with oxygen therapy” bike. He highlights excessive polypharmacy in seniors and advocates deprescribing, supplement and hormone support when medically ordered, and avoiding sedating drugs used as chemical restraints. Cranmer details a low-glycemic, low-carbohydrate, ketosis-oriented nutrition approach inspired by Dr. Dale Bredesen, reporting significant weight loss and diabetes medication reduction in residents. He discusses COVID practices that preserved family contact and outdoor time, reporting no COVID deaths in his homes, and describes cognitive training via one-on-one Zoom-based brain exercises and personalized memory games.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author, has cutting edge strategies for improving sleep. He emphasizes circadian rhythms, time changes, and jet lag. He details reducing stress and “FOMO” from news and social media, prioritizing sleep by cutting nonessential activities, and the health risks of short sleep, including increased heart attack risk, obesity risk, and impaired immunity, plus the role of deep sleep and the glymphatic system. Teitelbaum recommends a dark, cool room, limiting blue light (eye masks, warm/yellow lighting), bedtime routines, sustained-release melatonin, chamomile tea, herbal blends, lavender, magnesium, and addressing issues like sleep apnea (including positional strategies), restless legs (ferritin testing, iron, magnesium), nocturnal hypoglycemia (protein snacks, phosphatidylserine), reflux (bicarbonate, bed elevation), and selective low-dose medications when needed. They also cover daylight saving time adjustment and travel strategies such as shifting schedules, melatonin timing, hydration, and morning light exposure. 

In early February, I took a road trip to Sebastopol in Sonoma County, California — right in the heart of wine country… cheese country… bread country. Basically the Disneyland of delicious food. And before I left, I gave myself a little challenge. Could I fully enjoy the trip — eat at restaurants, explore the local food scene, indulge in everything Sonoma has to offer — and still stay around 1,500 calories a day? In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm taking you along for the ride. I'll share exactly how I navigated road trip snacks, restaurant menus, and all that gorgeous Sonoma temptation while still staying within a reasonable calorie range — without feeling deprived or missing out on the experience. So imagine yourself stowing away in the backseat, cruising through Sonoma with me, and learning the simple strategies that make it possible to enjoy food, travel, and still stay on track.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr. Eric Ravussin, one of the world's leading researchers in human metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. Over several decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has helped reshape how scientists think about body weight regulation, moving the conversation beyond the simplistic idea of “calories in versus calories out” to a deeper understanding of the biology that governs appetite, energy expenditure, and fat storage.In this conversation, Mikki and Eric explore the brain's role in regulating body weight, the influence of genetics and environment, and what his landmark research — including work with the Pima population and the CALERIE trial — has revealed about metabolic adaptation, calorie restriction, and longevity. They also discuss spontaneous physical activity, the concept of a body-weight “settling point,” and the emerging role of GLP-1 medications in obesity treatment. It's a fascinating look at the physiology of weight regulation and why maintaining weight loss is often far more complex than most people realise.About Dr. Eric RavussinDr. Eric Ravussin is an internationally recognised researcher in metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. He is Associate Executive Director for Clinical Science at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University, one of the world's leading institutions for metabolic research.For more than three decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has focused on understanding the biological drivers of obesity and weight regulation, including energy expenditure, metabolic adaptation, appetite regulation, and the role of genetics in body weight. His research with the Pima population helped illuminate the powerful interaction between genetics and environment in the development of obesity.Dr. Ravussin has also been a principal investigator in the landmark CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) trial, the first long-term randomised controlled trial examining the physiological effects of sustained calorie restriction in humans, including its potential implications for metabolic health and longevity.He has authored hundreds of scientific publications and remains a leading voice in research exploring how biology, behaviour, and environment interact to shape body weight and metabolic health.Prof Ravussin's faculty profile:https://www.pbrc.edu/research-and-faculty/faculty/Ravussin-Eric-PhD.aspx  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Calories in vs. calories out (CICO) has been debated in fitness and nutrition circles for decades. Is weight loss really just about eating less and moving more? Or is there more to the story?In this episode of the Co-Movement Gym Podcast, Andrew breaks down the truth about CICO — why it's biologically true, why it's so controversial, and the major misunderstanding that has led to decades of confusion and bad weight loss advice. Using a powerful “money in, money out” analogy, he explains the difference between descriptive and prescriptive thinking, and why “eat less, move more” fails so many people.If you've ever struggled with weight loss despite doing everything “right,” this episode will help you make sense of it.Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Why CICO Is So Controversial02:13 – What Does Calories In vs. Calories Out Actually Mean?05:00 – Is CICO True or False?

Resveratrol + Copper Research, Plus Grain-Free Strategies for Stalled Weight Loss: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener emails. She reviews a small India study (BJC Reports, published September 30, 2025) in which 10 glioblastoma patients awaiting surgery received resveratrol (5.6 mg) and copper (560 ng) four times daily for about 11.6 days, compared with 10 controls; the combination generated reactive oxygen species that deactivated cell-free chromatin particles in the tumor microenvironment and reduced cancer hallmarks. Asked whether this could be prophylactic against cancer, she says it is unknown and requires replication in larger studies, advising supplement use be discussed with a practitioner. She then addresses grain elimination for stalled weight loss: replace grains with more meat and non-starchy vegetables, think beyond typical breakfast foods by using leftovers, and use small portions of starchy vegetables (e.g., squash or potato) if starch helps sleep. She recommends investigating root causes of anxiety and poor sleep and suggests moderation for foods like oatmeal.

if you're only focusing on calories, you are doing yourself a massive disservice.we don't just want weight loss. we want total body recomposition. and your body can't “respond” properly if the key elements are missingthis episode is a reminder that your body isn't a calculator.you can track perfectly, train hard, and still feel like your progress is stubborn — if the body you're trying to transform is under-supported.in part 3 with luke leaman, we're talking supplements, micronutrients, and why “just hitting calories” can be a massive disservice if the goal is body recomposition (not just weight loss).because you can be in a deficit on paper and still feel flat, tired, hungry, and stalled — not because you “lack discipline,” but because your body is missing the cofactors it needs to actually run the engine.in this episode we cover:• why nutrient deficiencies can happen even when you're overeating• why food quality matters more than social media wants to admit (and why it's still not complicated)• the non-negotiable basics: high quality multivitamin, creatine, fish oil (if you don't eat fish), and magnesium• why cheap vitamins often don't absorb (and how to spot the difference)• iron: why the common forms can fail, and what “better absorbed” looks like• birth control and b vitamin depletion (and what forms to look for)• melatonin: how it works, when to take it, and why dose matters• fiber: why extreme diets get it wrong, and how it impacts gut + cholesterol2 mini wins you can apply this week:• stop adding new supplements. pick the basics and take them consistently for 14 days. then reassess energy, sleep, cravings, training.• if you feel “stalled,” zoom out: food quality, fiber, sleep, meds/supplement interactions, and bloodwork history. not just calories.find me @transformxruby on instagram @apply for a free consult: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLsFqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkdirect link to dm me on ig:https://ig.me/m/transformxruby

In this episode, Mike provides valuable insight into why rest and recovery is just as important as your training routine. We don't build muscle or lose fat in the gym... we improve by recovering adequately from the work we do in the gym (and the kitchen). There are usually plenty of symptoms that you need more recovery... find out what they are in this episode.------------------------------------------------Click here to apply for coaching!For some amazing resources and to be a part of a badass community, join our FB group HEREThe personality assessment is now available online!

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly.”

Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Mental Health Benefits of Speaking Up: Clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” frames free expression as a mental health and problem-solving issue amid rising polarization, self-censorship, and cancel culture. Carmichael says authentic speech deepens cognition, aids emotional regulation, and strengthens social support, while chronic suppression can lead to repression, denial, anxiety, depression, and resentment. She describes fear and professional risk after publicly opposing child masking during COVID and argues that labeling speech as “violence” distorts reality, though true threats and incitement differ from words. She distinguishes self-censorship from healthy restraint, offers the WAIT test (Want, Appropriate, Inoculate, Trust), and discusses groupthink, innovation, misinformation debates, time-place-manner limits, and examples from corporate and university settings.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

What if the reason fat loss feels impossible is not willpower, not discipline, and not “eat less, move more” but your hormones, your hunger, and your body's fat thermostat? In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben welcomes back Dr. Jason Fung to break down why most weight loss advice fails long term and why obesity and type 2 diabetes are not calorie problems, they are hormonal problems. Dr. Fung explains how insulin acts as a fat storage signal, why fasting insulin and C-peptide can reveal metabolic dysfunction years before A1c rises, and how hunger is the real problem behind overeating. He also introduces key ideas from his new book, The Hunger Code, including the fat thermostat, the “three whys,” and the three types of hunger: physical, emotional, and conditioned. You will walk away with a clearer framework for sustainable fat loss that works with human physiology instead of fighting it. Key Topics Covered Why “eat less, move more” has an extremely high long-term failure rate Calories vs hormones: why the body can store or burn the same calories differently Insulin's role in fat storage and fat burning shutdown Insulin resistance as “overflow,” not “under-fuel” Why fasting insulin and C-peptide matter earlier than A1c The fat thermostat concept and why metabolism adapts fast Hunger hormones and satiety signals (including GLP-1 related discussion) The “three whys” framework for getting to the root cause of weight gain The 3 types of hunger: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned hunger Why ultra-processed foods reshape hunger and behavior Why low insulin matters more than “low carb” for many people How environment and community influence obesity risk and habits Resources & Special Offer Dr. Jason FungWebsite: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/ Book: The Hunger Code (Release Date: March 3) Pre-order the book through Dr. Jason Fung's website to receive exclusive bonuses, including a free masterclass and additional resources.

Why does eating less and exercising more often stop working after 40? I've lived through the frustration of doing everything “right” and still watching fat accumulate around my midsection. In this episode, I explain why midlife fat gain isn't about discipline; it's about hormones shifting your body into storage mode. When you support your sleep, muscle, and hormone balance, fat loss stops being a fight and starts becoming a side effect of getting healthy. What you'll learn: (02:55) How declining estrogen increases cortisol and insulin, leading to belly fat storage. (04:21) Why thyroid function, testosterone, and muscle loss dramatically impact metabolism. (09:56) How extreme calorie restriction and excess cardio can slow thyroid function and reduce muscle mass. (11:16) How to assess visceral fat risk using simple waist-to-hip and waist-to-height measurements. (16:13) Why protein-first meals and strategic meal timing improve insulin sensitivity. (18:53) How poor sleep increases insulin resistance, cortisol, and obesity risk. (21:32) How cyclic caloric restriction can support fat loss without harming thyroid health. Love the podcast?
