In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Ben Azadi to break down why improving your metabolic health is the real key to lasting fat loss. You'll discover why counting calories often backfires, how ketosis actually works, and what it takes to become a more efficient fat burner.   You'll learn why staying in ketosis forever isn't the goal and how the Keto Flex approach helps you build metabolic flexibility. Ben explains when to cycle carbohydrates back in, why protein matters more than many people realize, and the common mistakes that can keep you from seeing results.   The conversation also explores practical strategies to optimize fasting, support liver health, improve sleep, and reduce inflammation without overcomplicating your routine. Along the way, you'll uncover simple habits that can help your body burn fat more efficiently while boosting energy, resilience, and long-term health.   In This Episode:  00:00 Health Before Weight Loss 00:26 Welcome and Guest Intro 04:25 Ketosis Explained Simply 07:36 Testing Ketones Right 10:26 Sugar Burner vs Fat Burner 14:05 KetoFlex Metabolic Flexibility 19:43 Feast Famine and Randle Cycle 21:50 High Protein Keto Approach 25:50 Keto Mistakes Fats and Liver 31:52 Intermittent Fasting Basics 33:23 Fasting Progression Plan 34:02 Fasting Benefits and Safety 35:18 Early Time Restricted Feeding 39:22 Stop Eating Before Bed 41:49 Late Night Eating Gut Risks 44:30 Sleep First for Fat Loss 48:33 Sunlight Darkness and Recovery 51:44 Overtraining and Smarter Workouts 53:59 Calories vs Hormones 57:48 Cortisol Control Tools 01:01:39 Book Bonuses and Wrap Up   Enjoy a clean, protein-packed snack with PaleoValley's Grass-Fed Beef Sticks.

Insulin resistance — not willpower — is why you can eat 1,200 calories, train, and still not lose weight. Metabolic-health author Ben Azadi joins Liz Roman to explain sugar burning vs. fat adaptation, how to do keto without a gallbladder, why seed oils sabotage "keto" diets, and the reframe that changes everything: you get healthy to lose weight, not the other way around. Real root-cause answers for women who've been told their labs are "normal." Connect with Ben: Instagram | Web | Youtube Get Ben's New Book - Keto Flex *** CONNECT:

Vitamin B12 Deficiency--The “Aging” Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses vitamin B12 deficiency as a common problem that can mimic normal aging, noting adults need only about two micrograms daily to support red blood cells, nerves, and DNA. She reviews the history of liver treatment for pernicious anemia and explains that deficiency remains common in older adults, vegans/vegetarians, and people with impaired absorption due to low stomach acid, autoimmune gastritis, weight loss surgery, or medications such as metformin and proton pump inhibitors. Symptoms can develop slowly and include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, numbness/tingling, poor balance, memory issues, and brain fog; she advises medical evaluation and B12 testing rather than assuming aging or relying on wellness-clinic injections when levels are normal. She emphasizes B12 is primarily in animal foods, so vegans need supplements, and notes broader nutrient shortfalls she sees in vegan clients.

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!Many people want to increase their maintenance calories, but only a few factors actually make a meaningful difference.In this episode, I break down what determines your maintenance calories and what actually influences how high they can get. Body size, muscle mass, activity levels, dieting history, and genetics all play a role, along with why metabolic adaptation isn't permanent and what you can realistically do to increase your maintenance calories. If you've ever felt like your maintenance calories are lower than they should be or wondered what you can do to improve them, this episode will help you understand the biggest levers you can actually control. Let's talk about:Body Recomp Workshop ReplayWhat Determines Your Maintenance CaloriesUnderstanding Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)Why Body Size and Muscle Mass Matter MostHow Activity Levels Increase Maintenance CaloriesHow Dieting History Affects Your Maintenance Calories The Role of GeneticsOther Factors That Influence Energy ExpenditureWhy There's a Ceiling to Maintenance CaloriesWhy You Can't Force Higher Calories ForeverWhat Maintenance Calories Should Most People Reach?Key Takeaways and Final ThoughtsBody Recomp Replay: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/791129889cFollow me on Instagram for more information and education:https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?:https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewform

One of the most frustrating feelings is doing everything right but still not losing weight.   On today's episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes with my client Elizabeth, who came into coaching already doing so many of the right things. She exercised consistently, tracked her calories and macros, prioritized protein, and stayed active… but she still wasn't seeing the fat loss she wanted. Instead of staying stuck, we figured out what was holding her back and those tweaks allowed her to finally break through her plateau. That's why today I am sharing what was actually keeping her stuck, the three biggest changes we made to help her lose 14 pounds, and why the answer wasn't another healthy recipe or generic workout program. If you've ever wondered why your healthy habits aren't translating into fat loss, this episode will help you understand what might be missing.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical.

Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical, discusses electrically driven vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a “neuroimmune modulation” approach to autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Chernoff explains the vagus nerve's sensory role in monitoring organs and signaling the brainstem and spleen to regulate immune responses, and how precise stimulation can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines without immunosuppression. Setpoint's miniaturized, wireless, MRI-compatible implant is placed in an outpatient 45-minute neck procedure and delivers one minute of daily stimulation titrated to an upper comfort level; long-term safety is supported by prior surgical experience and a 242-patient blinded RA study with two-year data, leading to FDA approval for rheumatoid arthritis. The discussion covers add-on use with medications, potential steroid tapering, reimbursement, and research in Crohn's disease, relapsing MS (vision and remyelination), and other conditions, including psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and neurodegenerative diseases.

386: In this episode, I'm breaking down new research on xanthan gum and why this common food additive may not be as harmless as we once thought. While it has long been considered calorie neutral because the body isn't supposed to digest it, new research suggests certain gut bacteria may actually be able to break it down, potentially changing both calorie absorption and the gut microbiome.We'll talk about why xanthan gum is added to so many processed and gluten-free foods, what this research found, how gums may contribute to digestive issues, and why "natural" doesn't always mean healthy.Topics Discussed: → How gut bacteria can break down xanthan gum → Why xanthan gum is common in gluten-free foods → Why "natural" doesn't always mean healthy → Simple ways to reduce gums in your diet As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is assuming that knowing their nutrition targets is enough. After coaching women for over a decade, I've learned that the real challenge isn't knowing what to do… It's consistently putting it into practice. In this episode, I'm sharing my five favorite strategies to make hitting your calories and macros feel easier and more automatic. These practical tips will help simplify your nutrition, reduce decision fatigue, and make it much easier to stay consistent so you can finally see the fat loss results you're working for.

Registered dietitian Leyla Muedin discusses a Frontiers in Microbiology paper suggesting certain probiotics may help sequester heavy metals. The study, sponsored by the Italian company Probiotical and conducted with University of Ghent and University of Piedmont Orientale, researchers used in vitro testing and the SHIME gut simulator to assess Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus crispatus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus against cadmium, lead, chromium, and mercury. L. plantarum and L. crispatus reduced metal bioavailability primarily in the simulated colonic phase, while L. acidophilus showed minimal detoxification; mercury was least reduced (~10%). An ex vivo mouse-intestine system found probiotic pre-incubation of metals preserved epithelial integrity and reduced inflammatory responses. Leyla notes limitations: corporate funding, only three strains tested, and no in vivo or human trials, though the findings support further animal and clinical research.

What does fitness look like when life gets chaotic?In this conversation on the G-Spodcast, Coach Alex VanHouten joins the host for an honest, practical, and sometimes funny conversation about fatherhood, fitness, chronic pain, nutrition, faith, and what it means to steward the body God has given you.The episode begins with a real question from a brand-new father:How do you train, eat well, and stay grounded when your life is suddenly sleep-deprived, stressful, and disorganized?From there, Alex shares how becoming a dad changed his own fitness rhythms, why even a 12-minute workout can matter, and how exercise becomes part of the identity of a faithful father—not just another task on the to-do list.Together, they discuss:How new dads can train in small windows of timeWhy exercise helps support mental health, anxiety, OCD, and cognitionThe difference between real exercise science and fitness marketingWhy the fitness industry often sells what is profitable instead of what worksThe truth about creatine, fasting products, and supplement hypeWhy calories matter—but nutrients matter tooHow bodybuilding culture shaped modern nutrition confusionWhether having a six-pack is actually healthyWhy bio-individuality matters for training, nutrition, and long-term healthAlex's experience with Ehlers-Danlos SyndromeThe difference between training elite operators and everyday peopleHow motivation changes when fitness becomes part of your identityWhy Christianity does not separate the body from the soulThe difference between vanity and stewardship in fitnessThis episode is for new fathers, busy men, Christians trying to understand the body, and anyone who is tired of fitness advice that sounds good online but does not actually work in real life.Your body is not just a machine.It is not just a shell.It is a gift to steward.And even in the chaos of life, fatherhood, pain, and responsibility, you can take the next faithful step.Timestamps01:12 – Welcome to the G-Spodcast01:26 – The Host Shares About Becoming a New Father02:01 – How Fatherhood Changes Fitness and Routine02:30 – Coach Alex's First Fitness Struggle as a Dad03:00 – Why a 12-Minute Workout Still Matters04:00 – Building an Active Fatherhood Lifestyle05:04 – Training While Sleep-Deprived and Overwhelmed06:13 – Exercise and Mental Health: OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, and More07:01 – Fitness Science vs. Fitness Marketing08:18 – Creatine Monohydrate: What Actually Works09:30 – Why Supplement Companies Add Unnecessary Bells and Whistles10:16 – Fasting, Fasting Shakes, and Fitness Industry Confusion11:24 – The Religious Nature of Nutrition Arguments12:30 – Why Calories Became the Center of Fitness Culture13:47 – Why Your Body Is Not a Car14:30 – Calories, Nutrients, Genetics, and Food Quality15:08 – Bodybuilding, Modern Fitness Ideals, and Changing Body Standards17:11 – Is Having a Six-Pack Healthy?19:43 – What Gladiators Teach Us About Body Composition20:19 – Bio-Individuality Explained21:36 – Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers and Genetic Differences23:24 – Olympic Lifters, Muscle Fiber Types, and Genetic Potential24:30 – Amylase, Carbohydrates, and Why People Process Food Differently26:05 – Are We All Equal Genetically?26:42 – Alex's Experience With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome29:44 – Learning to Treat Yourself Like an Outlier30:29 – Training Elite Operators vs. Everyday People31:43 – Mission Mindset vs. General Population Mindset32:31 – Why Motivation Is Hard to Sustain33:43 – Would You Train If Today Were Your Last Day?34:42 – Fitness as Identity, Not Just Motivation35:30 – Fatherhood as a Model for Discipline37:31 – Faith, Fitness, and the Christian Body38:05 – Why Christianity Does Not Separate Body and Soul39:08 – Gnosticism, the Body, and Christian Theology41:43 – The Sins of Fitness: Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, and Envy43:30 – Stewardship as the Narrow Way44:37 – Closing Thoughts and Invitation for Round TwoNew Workout Music By Faithful Fitness

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Austin Perlmutter, chief science officer of Big Bold Health. 

Immune Regulation, Omega-3 Nuance, and Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat with Dr. Austin Perlmutter, chief science officer of Big Bold Health. He details immune regulation as a nuanced, multidimensional system shaped by diet and lifestyle rather than simple “boosting.” Perlmutter explains Big Bold Health's focus on immunometabolism, educating about immune complexity, and conducting studies on nutraceuticals, including use of CGMs and clinical trials. He discusses why eating fish often outperforms refined fish-oil supplements, noting conventional processing (heat, bleaching, deodorizing, esterification) and loss of other lipids and nutrients. Perlmutter highlights specialized pro-resolving mediators (resolvins, protectins, maresins) and vitamins A and D as potentially better preserved in minimally processed oils, and reviews typical omega-3 intake and target ranges. The conversation also covers immunosenescence/inflammaging and Big Bold Health research on sprouted Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, its high polyphenols (rutin, quercetin), microbiome effects, and studies including epigenetic aging clocks and brain outcomes.

AI and Generative Biology: Authoring Life, Redesigning Healthcare, and Building Guardrails: Physician and molecular biologist Dr. Adrian Woolfson, co-founder of Genyro, a biotechnology company specializing in synthetic genome design and construction, and author of “On the Future of Species: Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence,” discusses the convergence of AI with synthetic/generative biology that could make biology programmable and enable genome design and construction beyond traditional gene editing. Woolfson argues that the technology is morally neutral but is arriving rapidly and requires public awareness, governance, and guardrails due to risks, including misuse by authoritarian regimes and biological warfare. He discusses evolution's trade-offs and why he favors limiting human applications to curing disease and extending healthy longevity, while opposing germline modification; he explains germline vs somatic editing and cites the flawed, unethical case of a Chinese scientist attempting inherited HIV resistance. They examine sickle cell disease cures costing $2–$3 million, scalability issues, and trade-offs like malaria protection, and highlight non-medical benefits such as engineered crops, biomaterials, desalination, and DNA-based information storage.

If you shop at Aldi regularly or have been thinking about adding it to your grocery rotation, this episode is going to save you time and money. Leanne and Susie share their personal Aldi favourites, the specific products they recommend to clients, and the ones that look good but do not stack up. And if you have ever used AI to get nutrition advice, track your intake, or build a meal plan, there is a study published earlier this year that you genuinely need to hear about. In this episode: The Aldi products Leanne and Susie actually buy and recommend, across fresh produce, protein, dairy, snacks, frozen meals, and a few honest indulgences. Specific product names included, no vague recommendations Why the leafy greens at Aldi outperform the major supermarkets for freshness and shelf life, and how to store them to make them last even longer The Aldi protein yogurt, low-carb protein bread, beetroot hummus, tuna bean cups, and almond butter that both dietitians put on their regular shopping list and why A new study from March this year published in Frontiers in Nutrition comparing AI-generated diet plans against dietitian-designed plans: AI underestimated calories by up to 600, protein by 20 grams, and carbohydrates by 100 grams. Not a small margin of error, a significant one Why the false confidence AI creates around calorie and nutrient counts is the real danger, and the specific situations where Leanne and Susie would and would not use it in a nutrition context The Mission Carb Balance wrap reviewed: 16 grams of fibre and four grams of carbohydrate per wrap, a five-star health rating, and Leanne's strong views on why this product is not what it appears to be Why ultra-processed, low-carb wraps with modified wheat starch, wheat gluten isolate, and 16 grams of added fibre are a problem for most women's digestive health, and what to eat instead The creatine and heat question answered properly: can you add creatine to porridge, baked oats, or warm drinks without losing its effectiveness? What temperatures and time frames matter, and the one mistake Leanne sees clients make all the time with their creatine drink bottle See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode Description: Social media has convinced women that they need to lower their cortisol to lose belly fat, sync their workouts to their menstrual cycle, eat differently depending on their cycle phase, avoid heavy lifting to stay lean, and take a stack of longevity supplements to live longer. Dr. Mary Pardee is here to call most of that what it is. Dr. Mary is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor, one of Dr. G's closest friends, and one of the most evidence-based voices in the wellness space. This is her third time on Heal Thy Self and she is not holding back. From LDL cholesterol to VO2 max to the Mediterranean diet to cold plunge, she is cutting through the noise and giving women the clearest, most direct framework for actually living longer. In this episode, you'll discover:  •  Why LDL cholesterol is causative for heart disease the way smoking is causative for lung cancer, what numbers to actually target at different life stages, and why plaque formation begins in your 20s  •  The truth about cycle syncing workouts and food, why it is a marketing tactic designed to confuse a vulnerable population into buying something, and what the research actually says about training through your cycle  •  How to structure protein intake for muscle building, the exact grams per kilogram targets for different goals, and why women are still chronically under eating protein even in 2026 Plus the labs every woman should be running, what a DEXA scan actually reveals about body composition, and why cold plunge has no longevity evidence behind it while sauna does.

Inside today's featured replay interview, I get into the broader conversation on metabolic health and why I treat calories and hormones as inseparable rather than opposing camps, what a comprehensive lab panel should actually include, and how to think about the testosterone conversation without overreacting. I cover the role of leptin, ghrelin, and GLP-1 in appetite regulation, the homeostatic and hedonic eating systems, and why the people playing macro Tetris while feeling like trash and the people eating Whole30 without the body they want are both missing the same thing. Topics discussed: - The Calories vs Hormones Debate- Leptin, Ghrelin, and GLP-1 in Appetite- Macros as a Tool for a Season- The Full Thyroid and Reproductive Panel- Cardiovascular Markers Beyond Standard Lipids- Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Family History- Why Testosterone Has Declined Since the 1980s- Western Range vs Functional Range- Benchmarking Labs Before You Need Them- The TRT Decision Framework and Fertility---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

Bone Health Beyond Calcium: Vitamin D, K, Protein, Medications, and Metabolic Risks: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses factors affecting bone health, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and limitations of bone mineral density as a measure of bone strength. She emphasizes optimizing vitamin D via 25-hydroxy D testing (aiming roughly 55–85 and avoiding over 100), ensuring vitamin K for proper calcium placement, and addressing malabsorption from GI conditions, food intolerances, or inflammation. She notes long-term proton pump inhibitor use can impair calcium and magnesium absorption and increase osteoporosis risk. Diet considerations include avoiding overly grain-heavy, acid-forming patterns and ensuring high biological value protein; she also mentions heavy metals affecting bones. Additional assessment includes magnesium and DHEA sulfate, plus resistance and balance training (ideally three times weekly). She highlights research linking hyperinsulinemia/type 2 diabetes/cardiovascular disease to fragility fractures despite normal or higher bone density, proposing carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and ketosis to improve bone remodeling via osteocalcin and mitochondrial function.

Carnivore Diet, Cholesterol, Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, and Fasting Insulin Results from a 90-Day Self-Experiment What if cutting out fiber entirely actually improved your gut bacteria? This episode breaks down a real 90-day carnivore self-experiment, complete with before and after blood work, stool testing, and continuous glucose data, that challenges everything you think you know about fiber, cholesterol, and metabolic health. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp and bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom. After overcoming obesity and severe health challenges, Ben has spent years educating millions of people on metabolic health, fasting, ketosis, and biohacking strategies through his podcast, books, and YouTube channel with over a million subscribers. He is known for turning complex science into practical tools anyone can use to burn fat, boost human performance, and support long-term longevity. Ben walks through what happened when he ate nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy for 90 straight days, tracking everything from his microbiome diversity to his LDL particle size. His cholesterol numbers spiked, but the full lipid panel tells a very different story than most doctors would assume. They get into why ketosis works better when you cycle in and out of it, how sodium and electrolytes play a bigger role in insulin resistance than most people realize, and why eating 17 to 23 times a day might be quietly wrecking your metabolism. The conversation also covers the real science behind creatine absorption, why Dave adds his to hot coffee for better brain uptake, the truth about cooking oils and smoke points, and why cold plunging is one of the most misunderstood biohacks in the wellness space. Dave and Ben dig into mitochondria, fasting protocols, sleep optimization, and the supplements that actually move the needle for energy, fat loss, and anti-aging. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, brain optimization, and building a body that performs at a higher level for longer. You'll Learn: What 90 days of zero fiber actually did to his gut bacteria and microbiome diversity Why his cholesterol went up but his cardiovascular risk markers stayed low The real reason cyclical ketosis works better than staying in ketosis full time How sodium and electrolyte intake affects insulin resistance and metabolism Why eating too frequently keeps your body stuck in glucose and insulin spikes The creatine hack that increases brain absorption using hot coffee Why cold plunging is overrated for most people who skip the hormesis basics Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

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. 

Cardiovascular Protection Beyond Statins--Nattokinase, Vitamin K2 MK-7, and Clinical Cardio Six: Neil Levin of NOW Foods/Protocol for Life Balance details cardiovascular protection beyond cholesterol-lowering drugs, emphasizing nutrient sufficiency, therapeutic “nutraceutical” dosing, and physician partnership with testing. They discuss nattokinase from fermented natto (typical 2,000 fibrinolytic units/day), describing research on reduced fibrinogen, improved blood viscosity and microcirculation, blood-pressure normalization, and higher-dose data suggesting benefits for arterial thickness and lipids without excessive blood-thinning. They review vitamin K: K1 for normal coagulation (risk with Coumadin relates to day-to-day variability) and K2 for calcium metabolism, highlighting MK-7's longer half-life and potency versus MK-4 and recommending pairing K2 with vitamin D. Levin outlines PFLB Clinical Cardio Six (D3, L-carnitine, hawthorn leaf/flower, solubilized grape seed extract, CoQ10, MK-7), ingredient sourcing/testing, omega-3 benefits, red yeast rice context, and controversy around vitamin E meta-analyses.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Jen Scheinman, MS, RDN, CDN, Director of Science Communications at Timeline. 

Urolithin A (Mitopure) and Mitochondrial Renewal--Muscle, Immune, and Skin Benefits: Jen Scheinman, MS, RDN, CDN, Director of Science Communications at Timeline details urolithin A and Timeline's branded supplement Mitopure. She describes urolithin A's discovery through pomegranate research and worm studies showing a 45% lifespan increase. She discusses human research including improved walking distance and clinical outcomes in muscle endurance and strength. Urolithin A is presented as supporting mitochondrial health by promoting mitophagy—recycling damaged mitochondria—distinct from other mitochondrial supports like CoQ10 and NAD precursors. They explain most people cannot produce enough urolithin A from foods because only 30–40% convert precursors via the microbiome and it would require about six cups of pomegranate juice daily. Dosing discussed is 500–1,000 mg/day via gummies, capsules, or powder, with effects developing over months. She reviews emerging research on immune aging, preclinical work on brain and neurodegenerative conditions, and topical urolithin A for skin.

Many women believe they're in a calorie deficit but aren't seeing the scale move. In this episode, Megan explains why weight loss struggles stem from the habits, routines, mindset patterns, emotional eating behaviors, self-talk, and lifestyle factors that make consistency difficult. Just losing weight doesn't fix behaviors that led to gaining weight. You'll learn: • Why you're not actually in a calorie deficit if you're not losing weight • The hidden reasons consistency breaks down • Why emotional eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and poor food relationships sabotage progress • The 3 foundational skills you need before calorie counting • Why focusing on the root cause of weight gain matters more than focusing on weight loss • How to build a lifestyle that makes keeping weight off easier If you've ever thought, "I'm in a calorie deficit and not losing weight," this episode will help you figure out what's really getting in the way! The goal isn't just to lose weight. The goal is to create a life where maintaining a healthy weight becomes the natural result of how you live.

Get The No BS 6-Pack Formula: https://www.nobs6pack.com?htrafficsource=libsyn-organic&hcategory=MPSHOW&el=2885 This Episode discusses why visible six-pack abs are rare and emphasizes that abs are muscles that must be built while getting leaner through improved body composition, not just weight loss. It outlines a three-part approach: (1) track everything you eat and drink for seven days without changing habits to establish a true calorie baseline, then monitor waist or body-fat trends; (2) create a modest calorie deficit of about 500 calories, eat about 1 gram of protein per pound of target body weight, avoid heavily processed foods, and test removing bloat-triggering foods like gluten, dairy, eggs, or legumes; and (3) prioritize strength training over cardio to preserve muscle, and train abs with resistance, full range of motion, and moderate reps rather than high-rep endurance work.
