In this inspiring conversation, Darin sits down with Javant Benton, the creator behind the popular platform Healthy Vegan Eating, whose personal health crisis led him to completely transform his life through food. After facing pre-diabetes, hypertension, and even the possibility of lymphoma, Benton realized he had to radically change the trajectory of his health. What followed was a deep exploration into nutrition, whole foods, and the power of a plant-forward lifestyle. Through trial, error, and relentless curiosity, Benton lost 85 pounds and began developing creative plant-based recipes that replicate the comfort foods people love—without the refined sugars, oils, and processed ingredients that damage long-term health. In this episode, Benton shares how diet became the foundation of his healing, why most people struggle to adopt healthier eating habits, and how creating "bridge foods" can help people transition toward better health without feeling deprived.

Your thyroid controls your energy, your metabolism, your testosterone, your mood, and your ability to think clearly. Most doctors are testing it wrong and treating it wrong, and this episode tells you exactly what to do instead. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with McCall McPherson, a physician associate, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, Modern Weight Loss, and the advocacy platform Thyroid Nation. McPherson has been honored on the 2024 and 2025 Inc. 5000 lists and named a 2025 Top 500 Inc. Female Founder. She hosts the Modern Thyroid and Wellness podcast and built her entire practice around thyroid care after being failed by conventional medicine while managing her own hypothyroidism. She treats patients nationwide via telemedicine and has become one of the most trusted voices in functional medicine thyroid care. Dave and McCall expose why standard TSH-only testing catches just 1 to 2 percent of actual thyroid variation, why the medication most doctors prescribe (Synthroid/levothyroxine) fails a massive percentage of patients, and why T3 is the active hormone that mainstream medicine has been trained to fear without good reason. They also get into how fluoride in tap water, bromine in American wheat, mold exposure, dairy, gluten, and oxalates directly suppress thyroid function and drive autoimmunity. If you want to optimize your metabolism, protect your mitochondria, support brain optimization, and stop leaving your longevity on the table, thyroid is the first domino. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, anti-aging, functional medicine, supplements, sleep optimization, and using smarter not harder strategies to take control of your biology. You'll Learn: Why testing TSH alone misses thyroid dysfunction in the vast majority of people What a full thyroid panel actually includes and the optimal ranges for T4, T3, and reverse T3 Why T4-only medications like Synthroid fail and what works better How low thyroid directly tanks testosterone and libido in both men and women The environmental triggers destroying your thyroid, including fluoride, bromine, mold, and inflammatory foods How Hashimoto's connects to broader autoimmune risk and what drives it into remission Why kids are being misdiagnosed with ADHD when the real issue is hypothyroidism The supplements and cofactors (selenium, zinc, magnesium, ashwagandha, tyrosine) that support thyroid activation How thyroid optimization connects to metabolism, dementia prevention, cardiovascular health, and economic outcomes When to use T3 only vs. a T3/T4 combination, and how to know if your dose is off Thank you to our sponsors!

On Tuesday, the Senate voted 51–48 to begin debate on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE America Act. The bill would require citizens to present documentation confirming their citizenship when registering to vote and require photo identification to vote in federal elections. Tuesday's vote formally initiates discussion of the bill on the Senate floor, a precursor to a potential final vote.

Protein in DietIf you've been to the grocery store lately, it is hard to miss the new diet fad — protein. It is being added to everything from milk to ramen to popcorn to cereal to sports drinks. Last week, Buffalo Wild Wings released a wing-flavored protein-filled espresso martini that they're calling "Espresso Proteini." But what does the science say about how much protein we actually need in our diets? Is this filling a nutritional need or is it just another food craze? The recently-revised food pyramid from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department emphasizes protein, as well as dairy, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables as the largest categories of our diet. Previously, protein was suggested in smaller portions. We'll start Thursday's "Sound of Ideas" by talking protein and other questions about a healthy diet. Guest:- Kristi Artz, M.D., Vice President & Christopher M. and Sara H. Connor Chair in Integrative Health, University Hospitals Connor Whole Health Geauga County Maple FestivalNext in the "Sound of Ideas," we'll switch from protein to another important food group — sugar, specifically maple syrup and the people who produce it. Geauga County is the top maple syrup producer in Ohio and is celebrating its 100th Maple Festival next month. Maple syrup is the focus of this installment of our food series, "The Menu," which is produced in collaboration with Cleveland Magazine, which has featured reporting on maple syrup production as well as the Geauga County Maple Festival. Guests:- Tim Cermak, Maple Syrup Farmer, Sugarbush Creek Farm- Marc Burr, Emcee & Board Member, Geauga County Maple Festival & Owner, Potti & Burr Funeral Homes

Episode 3330: Roger Lawson uses the Hulk as a powerful metaphor to explain why people often “smash” their diets and how to prevent those moments of losing control. He shows that extreme calorie restriction and harsh self-criticism can trigger cycles of overeating, while a more balanced deficit and self-compassion help maintain long-term consistency. His approach reframes dieting as a sustainable lifestyle rather than a battle of willpower. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://roglawfitness.com/hulk-smash-diet-anxiety/ Quotes to ponder: "Diet debauchery accidental calorie overload hand-to-mouth malfunction these all fall under the umbrella of hulking out." "The goal of a diet is to eat as much food as you can while still making sustainable progress not cutting as many calories as possible in a mad dash for the fat loss finish line." "Get in the habit of being more forgiving of yourself looking to find lessons in each setback so that you can act differently the next time." Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday, Cuba's electrical grid failed, causing a blackout that affected the island's nearly 11 million inhabitants. Cuba's Ministry of Energy and Mines confirmed that it was investigating a complete disconnect of the island's grid, which sparked both violent and non-violent protests. After 29 hours, power was restored to most of the island, although much of the country remains without service as of Wednesday morning. Cuba has been experiencing worsened power disruptions since the United States increased its economic pressure on the island. On January 11, President Donald Trump announced he would prevent Venezuelan oil from reaching Cuba, then announced heightened tariffs on any country selling oil to Cuba on January 29.

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.
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 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."
Most people who start an animal-based diet assume the goal is to eliminate every plant from the plate. I get it: when you've spent years being told kale is a superfood and you finally learn it's loaded with oxalates and goitrogens, the pendulum swings hard. It did for me. But the blanket "plants are bad" framing leaves a lot on the table. Plants aren't health foods. They don't want to be eaten, and they evolved with chemical defenses to discourage exactly that. Our dietary foundation at the Kummer household remains meat, organs, eggs, dairy and bone broth, and most of our calories come from animal sources. The question is whether certain plants, chosen carefully and prepared properly, can earn a supporting role. In this episode, I lay out a practical four-tier framework for thinking about plants on an animal-based diet: which ones you can eat freely, which work in moderation, which to approach with caution, and which to leave behind entirely. Ripe, low-seed fruits like berries, avocados, olives and coconut sit at the top of the list. They have minimal toxin load, and in the case of sweet fruit, the plant actually wants you to eat it. Peeled and deseeded vegetables like squash and zucchini come next, since removing the skin and seeds removes most of the antinutrient burden. Tubers can work well when peeled, cooked, and ideally fermented — we do ours in a 2.5% saline solution for a few days, which lowers both the glycemic index and the antinutrient count. On the other end, kale, spinach and chard are some of the worst offenders. Their oxalate levels are high, and unlike most other antinutrients, oxalates can't be reduced through any known preparation method. Grains are similarly problematic, though properly fermented sourdough — made at home over several days — can degrade a significant portion of the gluten and phytates. Where a plant lands in those tiers depends on its antinutrient concentration, whether preparation can neutralize the worst offenders, your individual gut and metabolic health, and how much you're eating and how often. I can have sourdough once a week without noticing anything negative. But if I eat it every day, I definitely notice. Peppers I tolerate surprisingly well. Raw dairy — which most animal-based influencers swear by — I can't do at all. My skin breaks out, I get bloated, and my body odor changes. Cut out dairy and I don't need deodorant. The question isn't whether to eat plants or not — it's which ones, how much, and how prepared.

Episode 3330: Roger Lawson uses the Hulk as a powerful metaphor to explain why people often “smash” their diets and how to prevent those moments of losing control. He shows that extreme calorie restriction and harsh self-criticism can trigger cycles of overeating, while a more balanced deficit and self-compassion help maintain long-term consistency. His approach reframes dieting as a sustainable lifestyle rather than a battle of willpower. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://roglawfitness.com/hulk-smash-diet-anxiety/ Quotes to ponder: "Diet debauchery accidental calorie overload hand-to-mouth malfunction these all fall under the umbrella of hulking out." "The goal of a diet is to eat as much food as you can while still making sustainable progress not cutting as many calories as possible in a mad dash for the fat loss finish line." "Get in the habit of being more forgiving of yourself looking to find lessons in each setback so that you can act differently the next time." Learn more about your ad choices.

What role can diet play in supporting brain health and living well with multiple sclerosis? In this episode of Living Well with MS, we explore the evidence behind the Overcoming MS diet recommendations and how small, consistent changes to the way we eat can support long-term health. Overcoming MS Program Facilitator and nutritionist Karen Lee explains the research linking diet quality with MS outcomes and introduces the principles behind the Overcoming MS dietary approach. Karen is joined by fellow Program Facilitator and health coach Ingrid Adelsberger, who shares her personal experience of following the program for over a decade. Ingrid reflects on the practical realities of adapting to a new way of eating, from navigating label reading and meal planning to finding family-friendly recipes that make the diet sustainable. Together, they explore why the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern underpins the Overcoming MS diet, how reducing saturated fat may support brain health, and why consistency matters more than perfection when making lifestyle changes.

This episode follows that instinct back to one of its oldest sources, the American evangelical church. Zoë and Kylee are joined by Leslie Schilling, RDN, CSSD, sports dietitian, eating disorder specialist, and author of Feed Yourself, to trace how food, bodies, and spiritual worthiness got so tangled together, and what it costs the people caught inside that tangle. From Pope Gregory's taxonomy of gluttony in the sixth century to Rick Warren's Daniel Plan weigh-ins, "your body is a temple" taken wildly out of context, and why eating disorders tied to religious identity are among the hardest to treat.

What if a glowing pyramid sitting in your living room could restructure your biology, compress decades of meditation into minutes, and shift your brain into an altered state without drugs, breathwork, or effort? This episode reveals the science and experience behind one of the most unusual biohacking technologies Host Dave Asprey has ever encountered. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get $250 off from The Light System by using code ‘daveasprey' at: https://www.thelightsystems.com/ Jason Shurka is an author, philanthropist, and founder of Unified Healing, a global network spanning 55 countries and hundreds of wellness centers worldwide. He has written five books on health, consciousness, and human performance, and serves as the driving force behind The Light System, a technology now joined with the Gaia Network. Shurka has spent years documenting firsthand results from people around the world, making him one of the most credible independent voices on emerging light-based healing technologies. Dave Asprey and Jason Shurka break down exactly how The Light System uses full spectrum biophotonic light and encoded affirmations to create a coherent energy field that the body synchronizes with at a cellular level. They explore how this technology targets the molecular structure of water in your body, increases cellular electrical conductivity by up to 80 percent in under an hour, and creates the conditions your mitochondria need to produce more energy, accelerate recovery, and trigger deep self healing. You will learn why your body is already a light based organism, how biophotons drive biological communication at the cellular level, and why the geometry of a pyramid amplifies these effects in ways that flat screen technology cannot replicate. They also dig into the nature of consciousness, the ego as a biological operating system, and why the most powerful biohacking interventions are often the ones that work below the threshold of conscious awareness. You will Learn: Why cellular electrical conductivity increases by 80 percent after one hour of exposure to The Light System How encoded light affirmations restructure the molecular formation of water in your body without conscious effort What biophotons are and why your mitochondria, gut bacteria, and DNA are already producing and receiving them How full spectrum visible light maps directly onto the body's energy centers and organ systems Why the metamatrix font used in The Light System produces stronger biological effects than standard text How this technology was invented by a programmer combining transcendental meditation with software development What happens to your brain state when you stare at encoded light and why it resembles deep meditation without the effort How geometry, specifically the pyramid shape, amplifies photonic output and room coverage Why altered states accessed through light may be one of the most underexplored frontiers in brain optimization and neuroplasticity How to use The Light System for sleep optimization, pain relief, and cellular recovery Thank you to our sponsors!

Through media, education, and emerging wellness technologies, his work focuses on advancing consciousness and encouraging people to live with greater sovereignty and purpose.Jason's life changed dramatically during what he describes as a profound dark night of the soul. Between the ages of 14 and 18, he experienced 23 shoulder dislocations, multiple surgeries, and a severe infection that nearly cost him his leg. Instead of breaking him, those experiences pushed him into a period of deep reflection and transformation that ultimately redirected the course of his life.Jason shares his perspective on death and dying, consciousness, and the idea that we are far more than the physical body we inhabit. His experience witnessing his father's passing reshaped how he understands life, loss, and the nature of the soul.If you're interested in spiritual awakening, holistic health, and the deeper meaning behind life's hardest challenges, this conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:21] The real reason you get sick when everyone around you is sick[17:11] The injuries that almost killed Jason, and the one question that changed everything[36:46] Why treating physical problems without addressing the spiritual root never works[50:57] The law of oneness, and the subconscious programs running your reality[59:20] Time is the movement of light, and why your past lives are happening right now[01:23:40] The past life session that finally explained Jason's 23 shoulder dislocations[01:39:13] How the CIA uses remote viewers, and what that tells us about mass mind control today[01:48:36] Why a small number of high-vibration people can counterbalance millions[01:56:03] How a programmer trying to hack meditation accidentally built a healing deviceLearn more at thelightsystems.shop/lukestorey.

This episode examines how exercise and nutrition interact to influence glycaemic control, with particular focus on the postprandial period (i.e., the hours after eating) and on "time-efficient" exercise strategies such as low-volume interval training. Dr. Jenna Gillen outlines the physiological basis for why muscle contraction can acutely reduce post-meal glucose excursions, why repeated sessions can accumulate into longer-term improvements in insulin sensitivity, and why the nutrition context (pre- and post-exercise feeding, carbohydrate availability, and energy balance) can meaningfully alter observed outcomes. A key translational thread is that many clinically relevant improvements may come from small, feasible doses of activity; especially post-meal walking and brief "exercise snacks" used to interrupt sedentary time. However, the discussion considers who these interventions matter for most (and least). Postprandial glucose rises are normal in healthy individuals, whereas reducing exaggerated excursions is most relevant for those with insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Dr. Jenna Gillen is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Physiology in the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education at the University of Toronto.

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.
Did you know that IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is not just about gut discomfort? It could be a root cause of osteoporosis. In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Izabella Wentz, an integrative pharmacist and author of IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. We explore how IBS can have a direct impact on your bone health, raising the risk of osteoporosis. Izabella shares how IBS prevents proper nutrient absorption, which plays a significant role in weakening bones. We discuss the root causes of IBS and how these issues can trigger a cascade of health problems, including autoimmune diseases and weakened bones. The great news? The steps you take to heal your gut can directly benefit your bones. Izabella walks us through practical ways to address IBS, improve gut health, and ultimately protect your bones. "Diet is definitely the first intervention that I recommend. And generally speaking, getting off some of the common inflammatory foods–such as gluten and dairy–can be a really quick way to feel better." ~ Dr. Izabella Wentz In this episode: - [01:37] - How IBS impacts nutrient absorption and bone health - [03:23] - IBS and its root causes (SIBO and more) - [05:27] - The connection between IBS and autoimmune diseases - [10:05] - Conventional treatment for IBS - [13:38] - Gluten and other dietary sensitivities that can cause IBS - [22:32] - Mistakes people make when treating IBS - [24:09] - Common IBS triggers, and the thyroid connection - [30:37] - Tips for managing IBS and improving overall health - [38:45] - Natural way to assess gut motility - [43:01] - Food sensitivity test and other information from Izabella's IBS book Resources - Dr. Izabella Wentz's new book - IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (you can access her bonuses here) - https://thyroidpharmacist.com/IBS - Free Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - http://tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises - The Happy Bones Club (Margie's Membership) - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/bones-club More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Nutrition debates today often feel more ideological than scientific. One of the biggest examples is the ongoing controversy around seed oils, where strong opinions exist on both sides but clear understanding is often missing. In this episode, Ted speaks with nutrition scientist Christopher Masterjohn to explore the history and research behind seed oils, cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and oxidative stress. They also discuss why nutrition debates become polarized, how choline intake influences liver health, and why metabolic markers like glucose and lactate can offer useful insights into personal metabolism. If you want a deeper, more nuanced understanding of one of the most debated topics in nutrition—and practical ways to think about your own diet—this conversation will challenge assumptions and expand your perspective. Listen now. Today's Guest Christopher Masterjohn Christopher Masterjohn is a nutrition scientist with a PhD in Nutritional Sciences. His work focuses on metabolism, micronutrients, and the biochemical mechanisms that influence long-term health. Through his research, writing, and educational platforms, he helps people understand how diet, metabolism, and lifestyle interact to shape metabolic health.

If you feel like getting enough protein is a constant struggle, you are not alone. I talk to women every single week who know protein matters for building muscle, staying full, and changing their body composition, but actually hitting their target feels overwhelming. In this episode, I'm breaking down why protein can feel so hard to prioritize and how to make it doable in your real life. I walk you through the three biggest barriers I hear all the time: not liking protein-rich foods, feeling uncomfortably full when you try to eat more, and believing protein is too expensive. I also share practical, realistic solutions for each one and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what a normal week of hitting your protein goal can actually look like, including busy mornings, takeout nights, and imperfect days. This conversation is about consistency and sustainability, not perfection. Here is what you will learn: • Why protein should be your top macro priority • How to find protein sources you genuinely enjoy • Ways to prepare protein so you do not get bored • How to spread protein throughout the day to avoid feeling overly full • When liquid protein can be helpful • Budget-friendly protein options that support your goals • What a realistic week of hitting your protein target actually looks like If you want to keep learning, I think you'll also love Episode 325: Why You Need Protein to Build the Body You Want, and Episode 371: 8 High Protein Recipes for Hitting Your Macros. If this episode encouraged you, make sure you're following the podcast so you never miss a new one. And if you found it helpful, I would love for you to leave a quick review or share it with a friend who is trying to figure out her nutrition.

If you feel like you've tried everything for your hormones… and nothing seems to stick, this episode is for you. Supplements. Diet changes. Gut protocols. Hormone support. Stress management. You do the research, follow the plan, and maybe feel better for a little while. But eventually the symptoms come back. That's because most women are treating symptoms instead of identifying the underlying hormone pattern driving them. And until you identify that pattern, it's easy to keep chasing solutions that only work temporarily. In this episode, I explain why hormone protocols often stop working and how to start identifying the real patterns behind hormone imbalance. In This Episode • Why treating symptoms alone rarely fixes hormone issues • The difference between root cause and recurring hormone patterns • Why probiotics and gut supplements often miss the real issue • How constipation and gut dysfunction can recycle estrogen in the body • How cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and gut health all interact • Why hormone programs that worked years ago may stop working now Many women assume they have estrogen dominance or a gut issue when the real driver may actually be stress hormones or cortisol dysfunction. And until that primary pattern is addressed, everything else becomes guesswork. Join the Hormone & Gut Pattern Identification Workshop If you want help identifying the actual hormone or gut pattern driving your symptoms, I'm hosting a live workshop where we break this down step-by-step. In this 90-minute workshop, you'll learn how to: • Identify your dominant hormone or gut pattern • Understand why previous protocols didn't work • Learn which system needs to be stabilized first • Know which labs actually confirm what's happening in your body • Stop stacking random supplements and guessing

For decades, Jacqui Cook lived in a cycle many women know all too well: losing weight, gaining it back, and starting over… always wondering why nothing seemed to stick. Food was her love language, life kept getting in the way, and no matter how hard she tried, maintaining her progress felt impossible.Everything changed after a wake-up moment that led her to try a GLP-1 medication. Now, 115 pounds lighter, Jacqui shares the real, honest side of her journey: navigating maintenance, facing the fear of regain, letting go of guilt, rebuilding lost muscle, and learning to live fully in her body. She also reveals the diet habit she finally ditched, and why it turned out to be one of the best decisions of her life.ReferencesBody Composition Mini CourseGet the free podcast roadmap for The Obesity GuideAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Dr. Andrew Koutnik is a metabolic scientist and researcher who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 16 — an experience that drove him to dedicate his career to understanding and optimizing human metabolism. Despite managing a chronic disease that requires calculating insulin for every meal, every day, he has turned that challenge into a professional edge, conducting research at institutions including Harvard and Johns Hopkins on topics like ketogenic diets, blood sugar regulation, and metabolic disease prevention. He is also the co-host of the podcast In Range and an active educator who provides free resources to help people — with or without chronic disease — take control of their metabolic health.In our conversation we discuss:(0:00) – The Diabetes Epidemic Nobody Talks About(2:45) – What Is Type 1 Diabetes (And Why It's Different)(6:30) – Diagnosed at 16: His Blood Sugar Was 6x Normal(12:00) – The Moment That Changed Everything(17:20) – How He Turned a Disease Into a Superpower(23:10) – The Hidden Warning Signs You're Pre-Diabetic(30:45) – Why You Feel Tired After Every Meal(38:00) – The #1 Diet to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes(46:30) – The Truth About Keto (LDL, Risks & Who It's For)(54:15) – How Exercise Rewires Your Metabolism(1:01:00) – Sleep, Stress & the 40 Factors Destroying Insulin(1:08:20) – CGMs: The Biohacker Tool Everyone Should Use(1:14:45) – Supplements That Actually Lower Blood Sugar(1:21:30) – AI & Wearables: The Future of Metabolic Health(1:29:50) – Where to Find Dr. Koutnik's Free ResourcesLearn more about Dr. Andrew Koutnik here:Website: https://andrewkoutnik.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewkoutnikphd/Listen to the full episode on Youtube:https://youtu.be/6DGCJgjYqpg
The Peaceful Plate: Ending Food Panic After Hormone-Driven Breast Cancer
How many times have you white-knuckled your way through a strict, rule-driven, hyper-vigilant, inflexible meal in the hopes it would make you feel “safe”? Regardless of how convincing that voice in your head sounds, you know the one, “You must be vigilant with your diet or you'll bring back your cancer!”, it doesn't work that way. And yet, so many survivors believe that the more miserable the diet, the more effective it must be. In this episode, I'm talking about the types of breast cancer diets that practically guarantee miser, and why “not really living” is not the goal of survivorship. If your current approach to eating feels heavy, rigid, or joyless, this episode is your reminder that there is another way.After today's episode you'll understand: Suffering doesn't equal safetyRigidity drains joyEmpowerment > deprivationClick here to get my FREE guide The Five Foods Survivors Should Eat!Follow me on Instagram @hormone.breastcancer.dietitian
Is aging an inevitable decline, or just a "repair backlog" your body hasn't cleared yet?. In this episode, Dave breaks down the 2016 Nobel Prize-winning science of autophagy—the body's internal recycling system discovered by Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi.Most people are stuck in a state of "biological debt," where cellular junk piles up like trash in a factory, leading to brain fog, fatigue, and chronic inflammation. Standard 16-hour fasts aren't enough to reach the deep-cleaning phase. You will learn the exact 3-day protocol to trigger a "Deep Reset," where ketones peak, inflammation falls, and stem cells wake up to rebuild your immune system from scratch.Join my FREE Fasting Challenge: https://daveasprey.com/fast-this-way-challenge/Timestamps:00:00 - The Anti-Aging Switch01:30 - Chronological vs. Biological Age02:32 - How Aging Works at the Cellular Level04:58 - 43 Ways to Upgrade Your Mitochondria07:37 - What Is Autophagy09:17 - The Stages of Fasting10:46 - What Happens During a 3-Day Fast13:04 - How to Fast Correctly14:42 - Breaking the Fast15:58 - The Power of SubtractionThank you to our sponsors!-KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off-Join My Low-Oxalate 30-Day Challenge: https://daveasprey.com/2026-low-ox-reset/Connect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/DAVE15Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com/Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/Dave's favorite supplements: https://www.shopsuppgradelabs.com/discount/DAVE15Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com40 Years of Zen: https://40yearsofzen.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's world, information is everywhere. Podcasts, books, courses, YouTube tutorials, social media threads—it feels productive to constantly learn more. But the truth is, too much consumption without execution becomes a form of procrastination. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the concept of the mental diet—how the information you consume shapes your productivity, creativity, and ability to take action. Many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of believing that more knowledge automatically leads to success. But without execution, knowledge simply becomes mental clutter that slows down real progress. In this episode, you'll learn: Why excessive information consumption can destroy your focus How to shift from being a consumer to becoming a creator Why increasing your output-to-input ratio accelerates growth How an information fast can help you rediscover your creativity and intuition Success doesn't come from endlessly preparing—it comes from taking action on what you already know. Because at the end of the day, execution always beats education. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

This week's stories: Smartphone App Catches What Sleep Trackers Miss A 2026 trial found that suvorexant, a popular prescription sleep drug, improves sleep quality scores — but worsens morning alertness and cognitive function while improving afternoon and evening performance. The study used a smartphone app to pulse users throughout the day, revealing a split-time-of-day signal that traditional sleep scales miss entirely. Optimizing your sleep dashboard and optimizing your waking performance are not the same thing. Sources: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/suvorexant-ema-trial-2026 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/suvorexant-daytime-performance Bats Are Breaking the Telomere Model A 2026 bioRxiv preprint on the tropical bat species Molossus molossus found that these animals live unusually long lives with almost no telomere shortening — challenging the assumption that telomere erosion is a universal driver of mammalian aging. Instead, the bats maintain genome integrity through superior DNA repair and oxidative stress management driven by the metabolic demands of flight. Telomere length may be a symptom, not the cause — and the longevity industry has been measuring the wrong thing.

The mechanism is dual — soluble galactomannan fibers slow carbohydrate absorption while bioactive compounds improve insulin receptor sensitivity in muscle and liver. It's a cheap, food-grade, CGM-trackable lever that most people have never tried.

Arterial stiffness improved by 1.18 meters per second — equivalent to reversing roughly a decade of age-related decline. Blood pressure dropped 6.1 millimeters of mercury, outperforming aerobic exercise, HIIT, the DASH diet, omega-3s, and magnesium in head-to-head comparisons.

CO binds to hemoglobin more tightly than oxygen, quietly starving your brain, heart, and muscles while producing symptoms that mimic fatigue, brain fog, and the flu. The CDC estimates more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning every year — and most of them never saw it coming.

The mechanism appears to be a mixed-fuel training effect: the liver and muscle learn to manage glucose and fat concurrently when both are present during high metabolic demand. Context changes the calculus, and the workout itself may be the variable that flips the equation.

Testosterone levels in 40-year-old men are 30 percent lower than their fathers, and most doctors still have no idea what to do about it. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Justin Houman, a nationally recognized urologist and Assistant Professor of Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Fellowship-trained and specializing in men's health, male fertility, and sexual medicine, Dr. Houman combines cutting-edge medical advancements with holistic lifestyle strategies to help men optimize testosterone, sexual health, and reproductive performance at every age. Together, Dave and Dr. Houman tear through the myths, the bad science, and the outdated medical dogma around testosterone, erectile function, fertility, and male sexual health. They cover everything from why testosterone levels have collapsed in a single generation, to the real story behind the FDA black box warning, to practical protocols for men who want to optimize without sacrificing fertility.
