Are you struggling with unexplained fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or brain fog despite doing all the "right" things? Mineral balancing might be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle. In this episode, we will explore how mineral deficiencies impact everything from thyroid health to energy levels, and why most people are walking around undernourished without even knowing it.Join Jenn Trepeck on Salad With a Side of Fries as she chats with Sophie Shepherd, founder of She Talks Health and a functional medicine expert. Sophie shares her transformative story of reversing Hashimoto's disease and gut dysfunction through mineral balancing and explains how most of us are severely undernourished despite eating well. Discover which everyday habits are silently depleting your magnesium, potassium, and sodium levels, why the calcium-to-potassium ratio matters more than you think for thyroid health, and how simple dietary shifts can restore your energy production and hormone balance without extreme measures or restrictive protocols.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How mineral imbalances contribute to thyroid dysfunction, chronic fatigue, and brain fog, and why traditional thyroid panels might not reveal the complete picture of your health✅ The critical role of HTMA testing (hair tissue mineral analysis) in identifying nutrient deficiencies and understanding the unique mineral balance your body needs based on your life stage and stress levels✅ Which everyday factors deplete your minerals most rapidly, including chronic stress, undereating, poor gut health, birth control, and other medications that create hidden nutritional deficiencies✅ Practical food strategies to support adrenal function and energy production, including the benefits of high-quality sea salt, bone broth, coconut water, and why potatoes deserve a place in your mineral-rich dietThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

We're back for another round of tunnel hunting! Way back in Episode 10, we talked about the legend of smuggling tunnels under Salem and it has been somewhat of a running joke on the Pod ever since.

Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they debunk the persistent claims about these so-called smuggling tunnels. We're also putting our money where our mouths are!

We ordered extra-extra cheese before this deep-dive episode. The main topic took up most of the recording today, involving a new narrative review that argues for a low-carb approach for endurance athletes.The real-world performance benefits of carbs are clear for anyone who has traveled this path, but at the end of the day, who cares? It's just performance. The low-carb believers can get left behind and that's ok by us.The reason we are talking about this relates to health. The carb conversation is nuanced--it's not about taking in as many carbs as you can all the time, and their arguments point out legitimate discussions about how to balance fueling in training and life. But their arguments also infiltrate the broader discussion of nutrition, and anyone who works in this field sees what can happen on the other side.There is a boneyard of ruined careers from serious endurance athletes who have undershot carb intake. The negative mental and physical health outcomes from carb restriction take this out of the academic realm and into much more serious places. We love carbs because we love performance. But mostly we love carbs because we love people, and we want to see athletes be able to shine their lights as brightly as possible.Other topics on this episode: our approach to cross training, the incredible Beth McKenzie episode on the Freetrail podcast, Alex Honnold free soloing a skyscraper, a study tracking DEXA scan results with stress fracture outcomes, and we answer an important question from a listener about dealing with a tough health diagnosis.This one starts with a different tone as we grieve the terrible news from Minnesota. Thank you for being on this journey with us.We love you all!

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen want you to know that you're still a great parent, even if you don't sit by your kids' bedside to gently wake them up. It's okay! The ‘Rents sit down and debunk some of those pretty parenting tips you see all the time on Instagram. You know the ones.

In this eye-opening episode with Nadine Artemis, author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, we challenge everything you thought you knew about the sun. She unpacks why sunlight has become so controversial, tracing the history of heliotherapy and the very real biological need humans have for natural light. Nadine dives into the surprising benefits of sun exposure even in the winter, how light entering the eyes affects our hormones, and what the melanoma research actually shows when you look beyond the headlines. The conversation takes a bold turn as she exposes the real issues with modern sunscreen, explores vitamin D–rich foods in cold climates, and explains the deep connection between sunlight, bone health, and strong teeth. We also discuss tanning beds, the melanotan peptide, melatonin as a form of internal sun protection, and what our skin was truly designed to do. Packed with practical daily sun and light guidance, this episode will completely reshape how you think about sunshine, skin health, and long-term vitality. Nadine Artemis, the author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, is the creator of Living Libations, a pure and luxurious line of organic oral care, botanical beauty care, and medicinal elixirs often called the “holy grail” of wholesome skincare. Artemis is an innovative aromacologist, and her healing formulations and her concept of renegade beauty encourage effortlessness, engaging with the elements, and inspires people to rethink conventional notions of wellness and beauty. She is a key speaker at health and wellness conferences and has received glowing reviews in the Hollywood Reporter, GOOP, Vogue, People, Elle, Yoga Journal, Natural Health, W Magazine, The New York Times, Forbes, Los Angeles Times, and National Post.SHOW NOTES:0:40 Welcome to the podcast!2:49 About Nadine Artemis3:23 Welcome her to the show!5:36 Why is the sun so polarizing?8:06 History and research on heliotherapy11:29 Biological need for sun's rays13:17 Benefits of the sun in the winter16:52 Sunglasses & light in your eyes17:11 Melanoma study18:59 The real problem with sunscreen21:45 Vitamin D foods in cold climates24:30 Bone health & teeth25:57 *ELLIE MD*27:46 Tanning & Melanotan32:39 Melatonin as sun protection38:41 Protecting your face44:12 What our skin is designed for46:42 Daily sun & light advice53:45 Her final piece of advice54:40 Living Libations55:54 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:ELLIE MD PeptidesFollow Nadine:Website: https://livinglibations.comIG: @nadineartemisofficial / @livinglibationsofficial Facebook: @LivingLibations @nadineartemisofficial Twitter/X / @LivingLibationsBook: Myth on MythSperti Vitamin D Lamp - 10% off with code: BIOHACKERBABESDMinder AppSunHugg - 10% off with code: BIOHACKERBABESBiolongevity Labs (Melanotan Peptide) - Discount code: BIOHACKERBABESSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In the hours after the Jan. 3 US invasion of Venezuela, social media was inundated with fake videos and images. Some showed Venezuelans holding huge rallies in favor of the US invasion. Others showed US troops landing or firing from helicopters. Others showed Maduro being kidnapped. Not all were AI. Some were old, showing anti-government rallies from years past. Or from other places—other invasions or bombing raids, unrelated to the current US attack. But these videos racked up tons of views, misleading millions of people about what was happening on the ground. Many of those people still don't know the truth. It was only the tip of the iceberg.Today, host Michael Fox looks at the misconceptions, myths, and misinformation that has been spread about Venezuela in the wake of the US invasion and, together with political scientist Steve Ellner, dives headfirst into the biased reporting and slanted truths that have underpinned the mainstream narrative on Venezuela in recent weeks, years, and decades. Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.Hosted, written, and produced by Michael Fox. Script editing by Heather Gies.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.  Theme music by Monte Perdido and Michael Fox.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Tiffany Libby for a clear, science-forward conversation on supplements, cellular energy, and why NAD biology has become such a focal point in modern longevity discussions. As interest in “aging better” grows, this episode cuts through hype to explore what NAD optimization can—and cannot—realistically do for skin and whole-body health.Dr. Libby brings a rare perspective to the conversation. As a board-certified dermatologist and Director of Mohs Surgery at Brown University Health, her work spans both skin cancer care and cosmetic dermatology, treating patients across decades of life. That long view has shaped her understanding of longevity not as youth preservation, but as maintaining resilience, repair capacity, and function over time—especially in the face of inflammation, environmental stress, and chronic disease.Much of the discussion centers on why supplements, particularly NAD boosters, are having a cultural moment. Dr. Libby explains that this surge reflects a gap in the healthcare system itself—one that prioritizes treatment over prevention. While supplements can offer support, she emphasizes they are not shortcuts. Longevity still rests on fundamentals: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress regulation, and inflammation control.The episode offers a practical breakdown of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), explaining its role in mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and cellular defense. As NAD levels decline with age, skin becomes less efficient at repairing damage, producing collagen, and maintaining barrier integrity. Crucially, Dr. Libby explains why NAD itself can't be absorbed directly—and why precursors like nicotinamide riboside (NR) matter instead.Throughout the conversation, skepticism and safety remain central themes. In an underregulated supplement space, quality, dosing, and clinical validation matter. From a dermatologic standpoint, supporting mitochondrial health may help skin function closer to its biological potential—but only when paired with evidence-based care and realistic expectations.Listen to the full episode of Skin Anarchy to hear Dr. Tiffany Libby unpack the science of NAD, cellular energy, and why longevity begins with supporting biology—not chasing promises.SHOP TRU NIAGENDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

In this episode, host Josh interviews Ryan Deiss, founder of DigitalMarketer, about the smartest way for entrepreneurs to hire their first employees. Ryan explains why business owners should avoid hiring assistants for minor tasks and instead recruit experienced professionals who can fully own critical business functions. He discusses overcoming fears around big hires, financial considerations, and the importance of mapping out your value creation process. Ryan also shares strategies for systematizing operations and building a team that enables real growth and freedom, rather than creating more management headaches.Chapters:Introduction to Ryan Deiss and Episode Overview (00:00:00)Host introduces Ryan Deiss, his background, and the episode's focus on business operating systems and hiring.Common Mistakes in First Hires (00:02:12)Ryan explains what not to do when hiring your first employee, warning against hiring assistants for minor tasks.The "Genius with a Thousand Helpers" Trap (00:02:56)Discussion on why hiring helpers instead of professionals leads to more management and less freedom.Hiring Professionals to Own Critical Functions (00:03:46)Advice to map value creation, identify weak spots, and hire experienced professionals to own those areas.Overcoming Fear and Financial Concerns in Big Hires (00:04:37)Ryan addresses the fear and financial hesitation of hiring high-level employees and how to mitigate it.Cost Comparison: Professionals vs. Multiple Helpers (00:06:14)Breakdown of the financial and operational impact of hiring one pro versus several lower-level helpers.The Real Cost of Ineffective Hiring (00:07:48)Explains the long-term frustration and wasted resources from hiring multiple helpers instead of a pro.Path to Entrepreneurial Freedom (00:09:18)Ryan outlines the goal: remove yourself from all value creation steps by hiring pros for each function.Debunking the "Learn It Before You Hire It" Myth (00:10:13)Ryan refutes the idea that founders must master a function before hiring an expert for it.Three Actionable Takeaways (00:11:39)Host summarizes key actions: value creation mapping, overcoming imposter syndrome for big hires, and automating processes.Closing and Where to Learn More (00:13:31)Ryan shares where listeners can learn more about his programs and communities.Links and Mentions:Tools and Websites  Founders BoardKey Takeaways  Value Creation Mapping: "00:11:58"  Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: 00:12:59  Automating the Value Creation Process: 00:13:28Transcript:Josh 00:00:00  Today I'm super excited to introduce to you Ryan Deiss. Ryan is the founder and the CEO of The Scalable Company Digital Marketer, and a founding partner at Scalable Equity, LLC, a venture equity accelerator that builds and acquires B2B media and software brands. He is a bestselling author, founder of multiple companies, collectively employing hundreds around the globe, and one of the most dynamic speakers on business operating systems in the United States today. So welcome to the podcast, Ryan.Ryan 00:00:32  Thanks for having me. It is not difficult to be among the most dynamic speakers about business operating systems, because most people would consider that to be like watching paint dry. But I think it's I think it's pretty sexy stuff, so I appreciate that.Josh 00:00:47  Hey, and I agree as well. Typically it is, it is one of those topics that most people, I think tend to avoid, right? If you go to a conference and you're like, which one should I go to? I think the shiny object is always like the newest marketing hack, right? Or like social media? and with your experience obviously running Digital Marketer, you're you're well versed in that.Josh 00:01:09  And I think you could argue you're one of the most well-versed in digital marketing itself. But today we're going to be talking all about business operating systems. So how do you know who should be your first hire? Right. is it kind of going along that customer journey, so to speak, or your value journey that we're talking about here? And is it identifying, you know, hey, actually our secret sauce is in product innovation, right? Like that's our secret sauce. That's where it seems like we're bringing a lot of value, especially on Amazon. Right. You talk about, you know, bringing traffic. It's like well Amazon's brought traffic to you. Plus they have the fulfillment engine. So like they've tackled two big levers for a lot of people right. so if you identify like, hey, we're really good at product innovation or something like that, Does that mean, hey, I should first hire out that product innovation? Or do I need to figure out a product? Do I need to hire a project manager? Or is it an executive assistant? Like, how do you go through the process of deciding who to hire first and why?Ryan 00:02:12  So let me answer the question by telling you what not to do.Ryan 00:02:14  And then I'll come back around and give a more explicit answer. So what most people do, and it's not what you should do, is they go around and they look at all the stuff that needs to get done, right. And it's their name in all the boxes. And so what they say is, okay, I need to get somebody to help me with all of the little things so that I have more time to do these quote unquote important things. Right? So I need to hire, you know, a virtual assistant to help, like, answer my email and to deal with my scheduling. And, you know, I need to hire somebody else over here to, you know, respond to this and take care of that. And, you know, in this particular step, if I, if I just had somebody to help me do some of the pieces of this, you know, then, you know, then then I could be more efficient. And what we're doing when we do that is.Ryan 00:02:56  And the reason that's not what you do is you're what is known as the genius with a thousand helpers. Okay. And so you're not actually creating any additional space and freedom for yourself. You're just adding the management of other people and the tasking out of other people to your already cluttered to do list. And that's why it doesn't work. And that's why ultimately these people wind up failing and we're like, oh, they suck. And they were supposed to help me. And they're supposed to take time off. And they're not. They're just asking me all these questions. I don't have time to answer all these questions. Right. It's because we didn't hire someone to own a critical aspect of the value creation process. We hired somebody to help us continue to own that process. So what I would encourage you to do is look at the value creation flow and to say, what are the critical tasks and processes that I don't like. And I'm not particularly good at, but I'm currently being forced to do okay.Ryan 00:03:46  So it's incredibly critical. It's incredibly important. But you don't necessarily like doing it and and you don't necessarily. You're not necessarily the best in the world at it. So let's say again, you know, you're running an e-commerce business and you really love the product side of things. You love the innovation and the sourcing. you love, you know, thinking about the packaging and the positioning, but you're getting the bulk of your traffic, let's say, from, you know, Pinterest and Instagram. And really, you don't geek out that much on Pinterest and Instagram, but you're good enough at it, right? So what people would say is like, I guess I'm gonna get somebody to help with photography and maybe somebody can write some of the descriptions and do a littl...

Why are there only a handful of companies in the world with over $10 billion in pure-play software revenue? CJ Desai believes the reason is that products are replaceable, but platforms are forever. For No Priors' very first live from MongoDB.local SF, Sarah Guo is joined by CJ Desai, CEO and President of software developer MongoDB, to discuss the shifting landscape of enterprise software. CJ discusses whether AI will erode the value of software, and what truly constitutes a “moat” in the age of generative AI. CJ also talks about why AI adoption with Fortune 500-sized companies is still lagging, the importance of customer relationships, and why the “bear thesis” on SaaS may be overblown.  Sign up for new podcasts every week.

Is ADHD really a "superpower"? Or is that just a toxic label that sets high-performers up for a massive crash?In this episode, Dr. Jody sits down with executive coach Cathy Rashidian (aka The Candid Empath) to dismantle the popular "superpower" narrative. They unpack the visceral reality of leading with a "fast brain"—from the dopamine-fueled highs of hyper-focus to the crushing "hangover" that inevitably follows.They also tackle the "Accidental Leader" trap: why so many of us are promoted eight years before we're actually trained, why we become "self-appointed fire marshals" just to get our dopamine hits, and why "resilience" has become a dirty word for leaders who are tired of bouncing back.In this conversationThe "Superpower" Trap: Why Cathy views her brain as a "messy roommate" rather than a superhero—and why that distinction matters.The Hyper-Focus Hangover: The biological cost of flow states and why you need a "body budget."The 8-Year Gap: The "peer-to-boss" transition and why you're likely DIY-ing your leadership style.Marination vs. Procrastination: Why doing nothing is actually when the real work happens.Toxic Resilience: Why we need to stop proving we can handle it all and start setting boundaries that fuel us.If you've ever felt like your "genius" comes with a heavy price tag, or if you are tired of being the most resilient person in the room, this conversation is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.

What do collagen powders, weighted vests, parasite cleanses, and protein bars all have in common? (According to our favorite no-nonsense doctor, probably a lot less science than TikTok would like you to believe.)

China was among the first and most vocal opponents of the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro. Curiously, though, when U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to launch military strikes against Iran as Tehran dealt with a massive popular uprising, China was largely silent. Both Venezuela and Iran have high-level strategic partnerships with China, yet the Chinese leadership's responses to the crises in each country are radically different. William (Bill) Figueroa, a leading China-Iran scholar and an assistant professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, joins Eric to discuss his latest CGSP column, which explains Beijing's low-key response and why the strategy is often misunderstood by many U.S. and European stakeholders.

How leaders relate to money, success, and stress rarely starts with them.In this opening episode of 2026, Julian Hayes II sits down with Ruschelle Khanna to explore how inherited trauma, family systems, and unspoken money scripts quietly shape your decision-making, health, and legacy—especially among high achievers.Ruschelle shares how trauma can be passed down biologically and emotionally, why many ambitious leaders tie self-worth to their achievement, and how unresolved family patterns show up as burnout, overwork, scarcity, or emotional rigidity around money. Together, they unpack what it means to build intergenerational well-being, not just financial success, and how leaders can shift from fear-based drive to compassionate, sustainable performance.This is a grounded, honest conversation about wealth, health, identity, and what leaders unknowingly pass on, unless they choose to do the work.— Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) —0:00 – Introduction and reflections on growing up in the 90s2:45 – The illusion of danger, media narratives, and childhood freedom4:45 – Misconceptions about West Virginia and cultural stereotypes7:55 – What “inherited trauma” actually means9:55 – When issues don't resolve despite years of self-work11:30 – How inherited trauma can shape identity and career paths13:25 – Achievement, conditional love, and high-performing families15:54 – Self-compassion as a missing skill for ambitious leaders16:55 – Why money is one of the hardest topics to talk about18:00 – Shame, security, and the body's relationship with money22:10 – Wealth, poverty, and the mental prisons on both ends23:37 – Family businesses, trauma, and what actually breaks success25:00 – Debunking the “three generations” wealth myth27:38 – Money scripts, emotional security, and social capital29:54 – Separating self-worth from net worth—without losing drive33:16 – Building intergenerational well-being through compassion35:19 – Fear-based identities and the inability to feel safe37:12 – Creating a family mission, values, and shared culture40:40 – How trauma awareness changes leadership style42:07 – Rapid fire: motherhood, training, legacy, and curiosity48:24 – A final question for leaders building wealth and well-being— Key Quotes from Ruschelle Khanna — “We're often operating from coping mechanisms, not our true selves.”“Money sits at the level of security—and shame lives there too.”“Legacy is living fully in the present so it echoes into the future.”“Before asking how wealthy you want to be, ask how satisfied you are right now.”— Connect With Ruschelle Khanna —Website: https://www.lifestyleforlegacy.com/ Ancestral Healing Center: https://www.ancestralhealingcenter.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruschelle-khanna-lifestyle-for-legacy/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ancestralhealingcenter — Connect with Julian and Executive Health —LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianhayesii/Ready to take your health, leadership, and performance to the next level?

"I'm not a numbers person—can I still become a bookkeeper?" The answer is…it depends. When you say you're not a numbers person, is it just a way for you to say you're bad at math? And when you think of math, what are you picturing?  Trigonometry and calculus? Those aren't showing up in bookkeeping. I'll tell you that for free. In fact…90% of bookkeeping is just addition and subtraction. Maybe a little multiplication and division when things get complicated. However, you do need to be able to apply these concepts in the right way. You need to be able to plug numbers into formulas. You need to understand basic accounting. In that way, you do need to be a "numbers person." But being a numbers person is more teachable than you might think…and I'm just the person to teach you.

The conversation covers the historical emergence of Algeria as a political and territorial unit, starting in the Ottoman period in the 16th century. Key pivotal moments in Algerian history are highlighted, including French colonialism beginning in 1830, which led to a settler colonial project, the rise of the modern mass nationalist movement in the interwar period, the War of National Liberation (1954–1962), and the decade of violence in the 1990s. The latter half of the conversation focuses on the "Worlds of Islam," emphasizing a polycentric history with no single center. A historian, professor at the University of Oxford, and author of books "A History of Algeria" and "The Worlds of Islam: A Global History", James McDougall details the diverse "technologies" of Islam's spread, including its compelling initial mission, the appeal of social mobility for non-Arabs, trade networks, and the influence of Sufism. He also discusses the historical roots of Islamophobia, which is traced to the 19th-century colonial moment. He discusses why he was drawn to studying Algeria, a country he notes is often ignored in Middle East studies and is known as "the land of a million martyrs" for its iconic history of resistance to colonialism.  0:00 Introduction2:08 Intellectual Curiosity and Addressing Poor Understanding of the Region7:37 When Did Algeria Begin to Exist?

** We'll be discussing this episode on Tuesday, January 13th (8 pm ET/5 pm PT) in our online gathering, Macro ‘n Chill. We've invited Erald Kolasi to join us. So bring your questions. Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/aYopZXEIQ9SPN9gQL2ajXQSteve welcomes back Erald Kolasi, physicist-economist, author, and friend of the podcast. Erald is here to do a demolition job on “institutional” development fables like Acemoglu & Robinson's Why Nations Fail. He argues that by treating good institutions as the master key (inclusive vs. extractive) they smuggle in a liberal moral scoreboard while dodging the real motors of history: power, class struggle, imperial systems, and material constraints like energy, trade dependence, war, and ecological shocks.To “steelman” Acemoglu and Robinson's position, Erald uses their favorite showcase case – North vs. South Korea. He lays out their comparison of the “tyrannical dictatorship” vs the “open” society and presents their explanation for these differences.Erald then flips the script: the DPRK outperformed for decades, then crashed not because its “institutions got worse,” but because the USSR collapsed. Cheap, subsidized energy disappeared, wrecking agriculture and triggering famine.The pattern repeats across history. Using examples like China and Venezuela, the episode explores how wars, sanctions, resource access, and global power structures shape economic outcomes far more than abstract institutional rules. Development is a struggle rooted in material conditions and geopolitical realities, not a neutral competition between better or worse policy designs.Erald Kolasi is a writer and researcher focusing on the nexus between energy, technology, economics, complex systems, and ecological dynamics. His book, The Physics of Capitalism, came out from Monthly Review Press in February 2025. He received his PhD in Physics from George Mason University in 2016.

Send us a textLosing weight after 40 can backfire if it's done the wrong way—and in this episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, we uncover why that matters more than ever. Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Dr. Ron Eccles to explore the growing role of peptides and GLP-based therapies in sustainable weight and fat loss. Dr. Eccles breaks down peptides in simple terms, explaining how gut hormones like GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP influence hunger, metabolism, and body composition. Together, they discuss why weight loss alone doesn't equal better health—and how preserving muscle, protecting joints, and improving metabolic health must be part of the equation.The conversation also tackles America's declining health outcomes, the concept of the “bliss point” in eating behavior, and what truly happens after you reach your target weight. Dr. Eccles shares insights on emerging peptide technologies, common myths around GLPs, and why lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and nutrition determine long-term success. You'll also hear real-world lessons from clinical practice, including differences between men and women and the key health metrics that actually matter. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about modern weight-loss solutions and how to approach them safely, intelligently, and with long-term health in mind. Time Stamps00:00 – Lose weight the wrong way: Hidden dangers for anyone over 4000:56 — Welcome to the Strong by Design podcast!02:20 – Join Coach Chris and special guest Dr. Ron Eccles03:11 – Dr. Ron's 4 pillars of life balance—and why health is a top priority05:06 – Peptides explained: What they are and how they work06:56 – Discover the peptide that started it all10:38 – GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP: the gut peptides that silence hunger12:53 – Why losing weight isn't the same as building a better body14:48 - Discussion of the abysmal health outcomes in America16:59 – The concept of the “Bliss Point” explained19:06 – What comes next? 3 options after hitting your target21:02 – Next-level peptides: control appetite, burn fat, and save muscle26:50 – The future of peptides: No injections required29:12 – Debunking myths about GLPs33:30 – How chronic joint pain affected Dr. Eccles's wife36:33 – Weight loss differences between men and women37:56 – The 5 key metrics Dr. Eccles tracks with his clients39:18 – The science behind Alpha Shred revealed43:35 – Lifestyle factors that make peptides work47:02 – Why sleep is essential for brain health53:31 – Key advice before your peptide journey55:39 – Why some “unconventional” doctors get it right1:00:26 - Stay connected beyond the episode with Ron Eccles1:03:23 - Fun fact about the Strong by Design Podcast name1:05:23 - Please share and leave ratings & reviews for the SBD podcast! Resources:15-minute Consultation at 941-799-6583Connect with Dr Ron: InstagramStart the New Year with more Focus, Clarity & Mental Energy!Grab some Neuro-Thrive at a Discount - Use Code: SBD2026
