Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science.

Fish Oil, Full-Spectrum Omega-3s, and Immunometabolism with Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science. Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate's Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI's focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland's upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”

Cherie Calbom, MS, nutritionist and author of The Truth About Seed Oils, joins the Strong Ambition Podcast for a friendly debate about one of the most controversial topics in nutrition: Are seed oils actually harmful?Cherie explains why she believes industrial seed oils should be avoided, while Rhyland challenges whether the human evidence supports labeling seed oils as toxic. They discuss inflammation, randomized controlled trials, anecdotes versus population evidence, beef tallow, processed foods, calories, food sensitivities, and why the overall dietary pattern may matter more than any single ingredient. Despite disagreeing on seed oils, the conversation finds plenty of common ground around whole foods, sustainable nutrition, individual differences, and the importance of actually enjoying your life and the people you share it with.In This Episode, We Discuss:Cherie's personal health transformation and journey into nutrition.Why juicing and whole foods became central to her nutrition philosophy.The argument that seed oils oxidize and create harmful byproducts.Are seed oils actually “toxic” in the human body?What randomized controlled trials can tell us about seed oils.Biological mechanisms versus real-world human outcomes.Anecdotes, food sensitivities, and population-level recommendations.Why Rhyland believes individual ingredients are often unnecessarily villainized.Seed oils versus overall calorie intake and dietary patterns.Is beef tallow actually healthier than seed oils?Why Japan creates an interesting challenge to the seed oil argument.Correlation versus causation in nutrition research.GMOs, food processing, chemicals, and the appeal to “natural.”Why different dietary restrictions can all improve adherence for different people.Finding the right balance between whole foods and flexibility.Listening to your body and recognizing individual food sensitivities.Why relationships, community, and enjoying food also matter for health.Where Rhyland and Cherie ultimately agree despite their differences.Episode Roadmap00:47 – Cherie's Health Transformation & Journey Into Nutrition04:24 – Juicing, Whole Foods & Cherie's Current Diet09:47 – The Truth About Seed Oils11:01 – Why Cherie Believes Seed Oils Are Toxic13:33 – Rhyland Challenges the Evidence Against Seed Oils17:37 – Where Rhyland & Cherie Agree — and Disagree19:52 – Personal Stories, Food Sensitivities & Anecdotal Evidence22:41 – Can Seed Oils Be Part of a Healthy Diet?25:07 – Is the Ingredient the Problem or the Overall Diet?26:55 – Beef Tallow vs. Seed Oils29:27 – Calories, Processed Foods & the Bigger Health Problem30:38 – Japan: A Challenge to the Seed Oil Argument34:30 – GMOs, Cancer & Asking What the Evidence Actually Shows35:00 – Correlation vs. Causation in Nutrition Research37:40 – Why Rhyland Doesn't Think Seed Oils Are the Main Problem39:38 – Dietary Restrictions, Adherence & Finding What Works for You41:26 – What Does “Chemical” Actually Mean in Nutrition?42:42 – Does Natural Automatically Mean Healthier?44:03 – How Much Processed Food Can Fit Into a Healthy Diet?46:24 – Food Sensitivities & Individualizing Your Nutrition48:00 – Why Relationships and Community Matter for Your Health50:33 – Where Rhyland & Cherie Find Common Ground52:08 – Cherie's Current Ambition & Making Healthy Eating Enjoyable1:XX:XX – Rhyland's Reflectionhttps://amzn.to/3MU4EBg@juiceladycherie

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol.

Cholesterol Beyond the Basics: ApoB, Lp(a), Stress, and Aged Garlic Extract for Cardiovascular Risk: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol, emphasizing that blood tests measure lipoprotein particles and subfractions rather than cholesterol itself. They discuss limitations of relying on surrogate markers, the role of lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, glucose control), and advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), oxidized LDL, and Lp-PLA2, noting that lowering Lp(a) or improving markers doesn't always improve outcomes. LaValle highlights ApoB as a key risk barometer, reviews evidence for aged garlic extract lowering ApoB, slowing coronary artery calcification, regressing vulnerable plaque, and improving vascular function, and supports combining supplements with appropriate medications. They address lean-mass hyper-responders on ketogenic diets, debate broad statin use in seniors, and cover stress/cortisol dysregulation, hormone effects, and appropriate use of GLP-1 drugs for weight and metabolic risk.

"But I don't eat much… so why am I not losing weight?" This is one of the most common frustrations I hear from women who are trying to eat healthy, make better choices, and lose weight but they aren't seeing the results they expected. And if you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” but your weight loss has stalled, this episode is for you. The truth is, it's not that you're unable to lose weight. It's not that you need to eat less and less. And it's not that your body is working against you. Often, the missing piece is understanding the energy value of your food and how certain foods, portions, and everyday choices can add more calories than you realise. In this episode of The Healthy Her Podcast, I'm uncovering the hidden calories and sneaky foods that could be sabotaging your weight loss, even when you feel like you're eating healthy. We're diving into why some foods marketed as “healthy” can make weight loss harder, how to better understand calories without becoming obsessed, and why the quality, quantity, and balance of the food you eat all play a role in creating sustainable results.

Sleep, Growth Hormone, and Autophagy: How Rest, Diet, and Fasting Support Metabolic Health and Longevity: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how deep, early non-REM sleep boosts growth hormone for muscle, bone, fat burning, and metabolic health, and reviews a Cell study in which UC Berkeley researchers mapped hypothalamic circuits and feedback through the locus coeruleus showing a tight balance between sleep, growth hormone release, and wakefulness, with implications for metabolic disease and neurodegeneration. She connects poor sleep to higher blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol, which can suppress growth hormone, and advises avoiding sweet post-workout foods (e.g., smoothies, bananas, fruit yogurt) that stimulate insulin and blunt growth hormone, recommending protein and fat instead. She then explains autophagy and mitophagy as cellular cleanup processes linked to longevity, noting autophagy peaks after 12 hours of fasting, highlighting roles in mitochondrial quality control, immunity, and neurodegenerative disease, and mentions interventions such as fasting, exercise, ketogenic diets, and investigational inducers like rapamycin and urolithin A.

Nearly one-third of American adults may have some form of iron deficiency. Does that mean we should be eating more meat—or could that advice create an entirely different set of health problems?   Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll to examine a Washington Post article recommending meat, poultry, and seafood as sources of highly absorbable heme iron. They also explore the counterargument from Dr. Jim Loomis of Barnard Medical Center, who says beans and greens are the healthier choice.   You'll learn how to meet your iron needs while eating a plant-based diet, including the best foods, the importance of vitamin C, and common mistakes that can interfere with absorption.   Dr. Barnard also examines the complete nutritional package that comes with each source of iron. How do beans compare with beef when calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, and protein are considered? And what could the choice mean for LDL cholesterol, blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, blood pressure, weight, and other metabolic markers?   Plus, discover the potential concerns surrounding heme iron, including its associations with colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, oxidative stress, and type 2 diabetes.   Topics discussed include: Heme iron vs. non-heme iron The best plant-based sources of iron Beans, lentils, tofu, seeds, whole grains, and leafy greens How vitamin C improves iron absorption Ferritin, hemoglobin, and transferrin saturation When an iron supplement may be necessary The potential risks of taking iron without medical supervision Calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, and fiber in iron-rich foods Heme iron and the risks of cancer and heart disease  

Un rapport sexuel peut-il remplacer une séance de sport ? Pas vraiment. Mais il permet tout de même de brûler une quantité non négligeable de calories.L'une des études les plus souvent citées sur le sujet a été menée par des chercheurs de l'Université du Québec à Montréal et publiée en 2013 dans la revue scientifique PLOS ONE. Les scientifiques ont suivi 21 couples hétérosexuels jeunes et en bonne santé, âgés en moyenne de 22 ans. Chaque participant portait un capteur capable d'estimer sa dépense énergétique pendant ses rapports sexuels à domicile.Première constatation : la durée moyenne d'une séance sexuelle était d'environ 25 minutes. Attention, les chercheurs ne mesuraient pas seulement la pénétration : ils comptaient l'activité à partir du début des préliminaires, puis le rapport lui-même, avec au moins un orgasme dans le couple.Résultat : en moyenne, les hommes dépensaient environ 101 calories, contre 69 calories pour les femmes. Rapporté à la durée, cela représentait environ 4,2 calories par minute chez les hommes et 3,1 chez les femmes. En réunissant l'ensemble des participants, la moyenne était d'environ 85 calories par rapport, soit 3,6 calories par minute.Mais ces chiffres cachent d'énormes différences. Dans l'étude, certaines séances ne représentaient qu'une dizaine de calories, tandis qu'un participant dépassait les 300 calories. La dépense dépend évidemment de la durée, de l'intensité des mouvements, du poids des participants ou encore du rôle plus ou moins actif de chacun.Alors, est-ce comparable au sport ? Les chercheurs ont demandé aux mêmes personnes de courir pendant 30 minutes sur un tapis roulant à intensité modérée. Cette fois, la dépense atteignait environ 276 calories chez les hommes et 213 chez les femmes. Le rapport sexuel consommait donc nettement moins d'énergie qu'une véritable séance d'exercice.Il faut aussi rester prudent : l'étude portait sur seulement 42 personnes jeunes, sportives et en bonne santé. Elle ne permet donc pas de fixer un chiffre universel valable pour tout le monde.Retenons néanmoins un ordre de grandeur simple : un rapport sexuel d'une vingtaine à une trentaine de minutes brûlerait souvent autour de 70 à 100 calories. Autrement dit, davantage qu'être simplement assis sur son canapé… mais généralement beaucoup moins qu'une demi-heure de jogging. Hébergé par Acast.

Teaching Nutrition to Doctors: Dr. Nate Wood, MD, inaugural director of Culinary Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, discusses the persistent lack of nutrition education in medical training. Wood defines culinary medicine as combining nutrition science, medicine, education, and culinary skills to help patients and trainees cook health-promoting food. He reviews diet's broad impact on chronic disease (cardiometabolic disease, dementia, cancer, mental health, MS), challenges in nutrition research, and Yale's approach emphasizing plant-forward, minimally processed foods while addressing controversies. Barriers to adoption include crowded curricula, lack of trained faculty, unclear competencies, and limited exam coverage, though nutrition is being added to Step exams. Wood describes free patient classes, community outreach, research showing culinary training boosts counseling confidence, GLP-1s as complementary to lifestyle change, and his upcoming book, “Food Figured Out,” due in 2027.

If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE"Can I lose weight without tracking my food?"It's one of the most requested questions we get. Tracking can feel restrictive, tedious, and like something you want to graduate from as quickly as possible. Everyone wants the freedom to eat intuitively, to listen to their body, and to stop obsessing over numbers in an app… But here's the truth: real food freedom doesn't come from avoiding tracking. It comes from mastering it first.In this episode, we're flipping the narrative on food tracking completely. We'll explore why so many people resist tracking, the actual problem that creates the need to track forever, and how using tracking as a temporary educational tool—not a permanent prison—builds the foundation for true intuitive eating.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?

Concurrent Training for Healthy Aging and the Overlooked B12 Risk of Metformin: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how concurrent training—combining cardio and strength work—supports healthy aging by building endurance, preserving muscle, and maintaining independence and “healthspan.” She explains that aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory efficiency while resistance training preserves lean tissue and functional strength, and offers practical scheduling tips: place strength sessions on two non-consecutive days, add moderate cardio around them, separate hard sessions, prioritize recovery with rest days, sleep, and adequate protein, and avoid pairing heavy lifting with hard endurance work if explosive power is important. She then summarizes evidence that clinicians often fail to check vitamin B12 levels in diabetic patients on long-term metformin, despite guidelines; metformin can impair B12 absorption, leading to deficiency, anemia, and potentially reversible neuropathy, with higher risk in the elderly, high-dose users, vegans, and PPI users. She urges proactive B12 monitoring and supplementation, such as a multivitamin with at least 100 mcg B12.

In this episode, Dusty opens up about the mindsets and strategies driving his recent weight loss journey. After coming to terms with the reality that exercise alone couldn't outrun his diet—even while pacing marathons and training six days a week—he shares the ultimate shift that changed everything: mastering nutrition.Dusty breaks down his practical, math-driven approach to maintaining a calorie deficit through portion control and smart meal planning. Learn how to stop quitting on yourself, overcome grief and set backs, and take control of your day by breaking your total target calories into interchangeable 100 to 700-calorie "building blocks." Tune in for real, actionable tips on using simple references—and AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude—to eat the foods you actually enjoy (including ice cream and Texas Roadhouse) while still hitting your goals.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with functional medicine practitioner Robert Rountree, MD, medical director of Boulder Wellcare, in Boulder, Colorado, and long-time educator at the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Innate–Adaptive Balance and BWH 85 Beta-Glucan with Functional Medicine Physician Dr. Rob Rountree: He brings a nuanced view of immunity that rejects the simple “immune boosting” dimmer-switch model and emphasizes immune regulation and readiness. He reviews innate immunity as sentinel cells using pattern recognition receptors (e.g., macrophages) and explains how innate and adaptive systems interface, with innate signaling training adaptive responses; chronic inflammatory disease is framed as rooted in innate dysregulation. He reveals how immune responses can both protect and harm (candida, cytokine storm concerns during COVID) and why test-tube “stimulation” doesn't equal human effects. The focus is a purified brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) beta-1,3/1,6-glucan (BWH 85, 85% purity), its triple-helix structure, receptors (Dectin-1, CR3), dosing (100–500 mg), evidence for improving vaccine response in elders, and potential relevance for autoimmunity, athletes, and cancer surveillance alongside lifestyle and key nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and zinc.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Incorporated, maker of Dr. Ohhira's premium probiotic products.

Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Incorporated, maker of Dr. Ohhira's premium probiotic products, reveals how the gut microbiome affects metabolism, appetite, weight regulation, and overall health. He emphasizes the importance of microbiome diversity, supported by eating a wide variety of plant foods rich in fiber and polyphenols, and discusses how fermented foods and postbiotic metabolites help maintain a healthy gut environment. Pelton explains Dr. Ohhira's multi-year fermentation process and the idea that postbiotics may be key health regulators. He reviews studies suggesting benefits from Dr. Ohhira's probiotics for athletic performance markers, reduced fatigue, and improved bowel regularity, and notes research showing antibiotic-related losses in gut diversity can persist for years. He also mentions a higher-dose “Reset Challenge,” a postbiotic paste concentrate, and an ME-3 product aimed at increasing glutathione.

You're making progress, getting stronger, and doing everything "right"… Then the scale jumps, you feel a little fluffy, and suddenly you're tempted to cut calories. In this episode, I'm answering a listener's question about body recomposition, rising body-fat percentages, and what may really be happening when the numbers move in the wrong direction. We'll talk about why a higher body-fat percentage doesn't always mean you gained fat, how overcorrecting can work against your goals, and what to consider before changing your plan. If one uncomfortable week has ever made you question months of progress, this episode is for you.   ✨ Nutrition Coaching: https://acebarbell.com/nutrition-coaching/ 

Send us Fan MailIn Part 2 of our Agree or Disagree series, Vanessa and Heather are back with another round of health topics that challenge the conventional wisdom.Are calories really all that matters for weight loss? Are carbohydrates bad for women? Does fruit make us sick? Can you actually take too many supplements? And is more testing always better?Vanessa and Heather unpack these questions from their own experiences and perspectives, exploring the bigger picture of health—including circadian rhythm, stress, sleep, hormones, mitochondrial health, nutrient quality, and emotional healing.They also get personal, with Vanessa sharing how increasing her carbohydrate intake dramatically changed her energy, hormones, and libido after years of chronic illness and under-eating.In this episode, they discuss:Calories and weight loss: Why a calorie deficit isn't the whole storyHow circadian rhythm, stress, sleep, hormones, and mitochondrial health can influence metabolismWhether tracking macros is helpful—or potentially harmful—for different peopleWhy Vanessa believes adequate carbohydrates are especially important for women's healthThe relationship between carbohydrates, libido, hormones, energy, and metabolic healthHeather's experiences with keto and carnivore dietsWhy fruit isn't the enemy and how seasonal, whole-food eating can change the conversation around sugarSeasonal eating and choosing foods that make sense for the time of yearWhy more supplements don't necessarily mean better healthTargeted support vs. taking a long list of supplements “just in case”Vanessa's perspective on homeopathy and tissue salts as energetic medicines rather than supplementsWhy physical and emotional healing are interconnectedWhy we agree that stress management may be even more important than nutritionThe importance of morning sunlight for circadian rhythm and overall healthOur skepticism around excessive testing and the idea that we always need more dataHow social media can fuel fear, comparison, anxiety, and unrealistic expectationsWhy individualized health strategies are more valuable than one-size-fits-all protocolsAs always, this isn't about telling you what you should do.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin answers a listener question about taking many supplements with oolong tea, explaining that tea tannins can interfere with vitamin and mineral absorption; because oolong is partially oxidized, its tannin level falls between green and black tea, so she recommends taking supplements with water and separating them from tea or coffee by at least an hour (ideally 1.5–2 hours). She then reviews research in Nature Communications from USC on how gut signals via the vagus nerve may influence which food experiences become memories: in rats, nutrient-rich foods increased acetylcholine signaling to the hippocampus, supporting memory for food location, while sweetness without calories did not. Over time, high-fat/high-sugar diets weakened this gut–hippocampus communication and memory performance, with implications for obesity, diabetes/prediabetes, and cognitive decline, and possible future vagus-nerve-based approaches.

Next time you look at the calories on the back of a packet or the nutritional breakdown of a recipe, remember that number doesn't tell you the whole story. It says nothing about the nutrients, the quality of the food, how satisfying it'll be, or even how many calories your body will actually absorb.To unpack it all, I'm joined by Professor Giles Yeo, Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge, MBE, and author of the brilliant book Why Calories Don't Count.We cover:5 reasons calorie counting matters less than we thinkWhy "low-cal" doesn't always mean healthyWhy we don't absorb every calorie we eatWhy the calories in nuts, avocados and seeds aren't the same as the calories in a ultra-processed foods, even when the numbers matchIs fruit juice really healthy?3 strategies to maintain a healthy weightI hope this changes the way you think about calories and gives you a few practical ideas you can start using straight away. If you know someone who's always checking the calorie label before anything else, send this episode their way.As always, thanks for listening!Dr Rupy xMore from Professor Giles Yeohttps://www.wolfson.cam.ac.uk/people/giles-yeohttps://x.com/GilesYeohttps://www.instagram.com/gilesyeo/?hl=enMore from us

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with integrative medicine physician, board-certified internist, and researcher Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum about his new book, "Pain Relief in 4 Simple Steps."

Renowned integrative medicine physician, board-certified internist, and researcher Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum discusses his new book, "Pain Relief in 4 Simple Steps," and the growing chronic pain epidemic (one in four U.S. adults; about 7% debilitating). Teitelbaum argues most pain is treatable by addressing root causes and describes four biochemical pain types—muscle pain from low energy, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and brain pain (microglial activation)—alongside structural, biophysical, and mind-body contributors. They discuss risks of NSAIDs and Tylenol, diet's role (processed foods, sugar, seed oils), and strategies such as an Energy Revitalization Drink Mix, SHINE protocol, curcumin with turmeric oils plus boswellia (Curamin), omega-3 support, magnesium, B12 issues with metformin/GLP drugs, lipoic acid for neuropathy and burning mouth syndrome, and migraine support with high-dose riboflavin and magnesium. He also cover CRPS treatments (including ketamine and bisphosphonates), low-dose naltrexone and PEA, compounded topical options, and pelvic pain/prostatitis approaches including quercetin and antibiotics like fosfomycin when appropriate.
