Most brain decline, mood instability, and impulsive behavior start with a breakdown in how the brain's immune cells produce and use energy. This episode shows how mitochondrial health inside microglia influences cognition, emotion, and long-term brain resilience, and how everyday inputs quietly push those systems toward damage or repair. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work focuses on the intersection of neurology, nutrition, metabolism, and brain health. A Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Dr. Perlmutter brings decades of clinical and research experience to this conversation on how inflammation and mitochondrial function shape the brain across the lifespan. Together, they explore how microglial cells shift their behavior based on metabolic conditions, and how those shifts influence neurodegeneration, emotional regulation, impulse control, and cognitive performance. The discussion covers real-world inputs that shape these systems, including sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, glucose regulation, gut signaling, environmental toxins, and tools referenced in the episode such as red and infrared light, 40 Hz light and sound, hyperbaric oxygen, lithium, nicotine, supplements, nootropics, GLP-1 agonists, and dietary approaches like carnivore and ketosis. The conversation connects brain biology to lived experience, showing how metabolism influences behavior, decision making, and long-term human performance through a Smarter Not Harder lens. You'll Learn: • How microglia shift between supportive and destructive states and why metabolism drives that change • How mitochondrial function inside immune cells influences inflammation and brain resilience • How inflammation affects the prefrontal cortex, impulse control, and reward-driven behavior • What the episode says about GLP-1 agonists and behavior changes like reduced cravings and gambling • How gut-derived signaling and short-chain fatty acid balance (butyrate vs propionate) relates to brain function • How tools like red and infrared light, hyperbaric oxygen, and 40 Hz light and sound connect to microglia • The lifestyle levers discussed in the episode: sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, glucose control, and toxin reduction • The compounds mentioned, including lithium, nicotine, urolithin A, CoQ10, rosmarinic acid, and dihydromyricetin Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Today, we have another episode in the YouTube series where I answer listeners' questions from the Everyday Wellness Podcast and my private free Facebook group, The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow. We're continuing the conversation around hair loss today. In the last episode, we covered some common causes of hair loss. In this episode, we discuss how nutrition can either positively or negatively affect it. Some familiar themes come up again, but they're hard to avoid because in midlife, nutrition is not optional. It's essential! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why a protein-centric diet is vital in middle age  How over-fasting can exacerbate hair loss Why iron is essential for hair growth Foods that are beneficial for their polyphenols and antioxidants Why metabolic health is critical for hair follicle protection How stress and disrupted sleep affect hair loss The value of weight training and maintaining muscle mass  The role of iodine, selenium, and red blood cell magnesium in hair growth and the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

On Thursday, January 15, President Donald Trump announced several proposals to lower health insurance costs, which he called “The Great Healthcare Plan.” The healthcare-reform framework focuses on four broad initiatives: lowering drug prices, lowering insurance premiums, holding big insurance companies accountable, and maximizing price transparency. Although the White House has not announced specific legislative proposals to enact the policy, Trump specified he would seek to make more medications available over the counter, regulate pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and require insurance companies to explain their costs in simple and clear language.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!Want to get texts from Tangle?Since October, over 13,000 Tangle readers have joined us on Subtext, our free SMS messaging service that lets us connect directly with readers.

Your body does not fail all at once. Aging starts when cells quietly shift into survival mode and never come back out. In this episode, you go inside the thinking of a true medical outlier to understand how stress, travel, toxins, and metabolic overload reprogram cells, shut down energy, and accelerate aging, and how restoring mitochondrial function can reverse that trajectory from the inside out. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Theodore Achacoso and Boomer Anderson, leaders in Health Optimization Medicine and Practice. Dr. Achacoso is a physician-scientist and the founding pioneer of Health Optimization Medicine, known for his work on cellular networks, metabolomics, and mitochondrial function. Boomer Anderson is the CEO of Smarter Not Harder and Troscriptions, where he focuses on translating complex biology into practical tools for human performance and longevity. Together, they unpack how cells respond to perceived threats through the Cell Danger Response, why mitochondria control energy, inflammation, and repair, and why chasing disease labels misses the real drivers of aging. The discussion covers methylene blue as an electron recycler, why LDL cholesterol plays a role in detoxification and immune signaling, how fasting and ketosis shift metabolism between repair and growth, and why sleep optimization, circadian rhythm, and light exposure matter even more when you travel. They also explore neuroplasticity, consciousness, nootropics, supplements, and why health optimization works best when you restore balance instead of forcing outcomes. You'll Learn: • What the Cell Danger Response is and how it reshapes aging and performance • How mitochondria sense stress before symptoms appear • Why cellular energy controls resilience, sleep, and longevity • How methylene blue supports mitochondrial electron flow • Why fasting and ketosis shift metabolism between repair and growth • How travel, light, and circadian disruption affect aging • Why very low LDL can impair detoxification and immune signaling • Why real anti-aging starts at the cellular level, not with disease labels Thank you to our sponsors!

Your gut microbes determine how foods affect your health, meaning identical diets produce very different outcomes on people depending on microbial enzymes, balance, and overall gut condition Large-scale research shows plant compounds require specific gut microbes for benefits, explaining why plant-heavy diets improve energy for some people yet trigger bloating, fatigue, or food reactions in others Gut dysbiosis reflects cumulative daily habits, not isolated meals, with ultraprocessed foods, irregular eating, poor sleep, stress, and medications consistently disrupting microbial stability and gut barrier integrity Sustained lifestyle changes over weeks to months restore healthier microbial activity, improve digestive comfort, reduce inflammation, and support whole-body regulation, especially in people with chronic metabolic or inflammatory issues Effective gut repair focuses on lowering linoleic acid (LA), gradually restoring carbohydrates, managing stress, improving sleep, and addressing environmental disruptors rather than relying on supplements or one-size-fits-all diet rules

In this episode, Dr. Jockers is joined by Dr. Jason Fung to break down why weight gain isn't a willpower issue or a calorie problem, but a hunger problem driven by internal signals. You'll learn why eating less often backfires and why controlling hunger is the real key to sustainable fat loss.   Dr. Fung introduces the concept of the "fat thermostat," explaining how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and GLP-1 quietly determine whether your body stores fat or burns it. He also reveals how ultra-processed foods disrupt these signals and keep cravings switched on.   You'll also explore the different types of hunger that influence eating behavior, why some foods never lead to satiety, and how small shifts in food choice, timing, and lifestyle can naturally reduce cravings while supporting fat burning.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Food Industry Tricks 01:19 Dr. Jason Fung's Background and Achievements 04:06 The Concept of Hunger and Hormones 12:05 Understanding the Fat Thermostat 17:09 The Role of Hormones in Weight Management 21:53 Impact of Diet on Hormones and Weight 26:06 Debunking Diet Myths 26:43 The Science of Hair Regrowth 28:23 Understanding Hunger and Hormones 29:40 The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods 31:33 Food Addiction and Its Implications 32:55 The Role of Natural Foods in Satiety 36:10 The Impact of Food Processing on Health 44:01 Effective Strategies for Weight Management 52:09 The Importance of Social Support in Dieting 52:48 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has escalated his efforts to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark that he says is vital to national interests. The president has not ruled out using military force to take control of the island, while also threatening to impose tariffs on European nations who oppose the move. Many leaders of member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have condemned Trump's comments and expressed concern that he is jeopardizing the stability of the alliance.

Abbie is joined by Christyna Johnson, a registered dietitian whose work sits at the intersection of nourishment and social justice (a perfect fit for Full Plate, as you all know).They unpack the way systems have weaponized hunger. And why that matters so much at a time where extreme thinness is being celebrated, hunger suppression is being normalized, and health is feeling more like a performance than ever.Tune in for more on:* Hunger as a tool of control—historically, politically, and culturally* Growing up with limited food variety, dieting, and respectability politics* Diet culture as a cult (yes, it's fascinating)* Why appetite suppression is being framed as “health”* GLP-1 medications, food noise, and informed consent* Epigenetics, famine, dieting, and intergenerational impact* The difference between the performance of health and actual well-being* Pleasure, nourishment, and why enjoying food matters* Why younger generations give us real reasons to hopeThis episode is honest, funny, gentle, and deeply unsettling in the best way. It invites us to ask bigger questions:Who benefits when we're disconnected from our bodies? And what becomes possible when nourishment takes up less brain space—so we can look up and care for one another?Make sure you're following Christyna on Instagram.

As I have said in the previous episodes, if your health and wellness isn't at the top of the list of things to dial in this year then you are really selling yourself short. I believe that if we want to accomplish our goals, feel our best, and have the energy to do what we love… we must nurture our health and wellbeing first. It's a non- negotiable, because eventually the signs and signals your body is telling you will only get louder and no longer will you be able to ignore it. In today's episode, we focus on the importance of questioning why you don't feel your very best and exactly what you can do to get clear and actionable advice and direction of how to change that.  Welcome Adam Woolard on the show. He is a biohacking advocate and hormone health expert working with Blokes & Joi to help others reclaim their physical and mental wellness through peptide therapy, personalized supplementation, and holistic lifestyle tools.  Adam's approach to health and wellness goes beyond just treating symptoms; it's about addressing the root causes and fostering holistic well-being.  In todays episode we discuss: Hormone Health: The Importance of Diet and Exercise Factors Affecting Testosterone Levels Lifestyle Changes for Optimal Health The Importance of Comprehensive Blood Work Peptides in Health and Wellness The Role of B Vitamins in Energy and Metabolism and more For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/adam-woodlard/ Watch episode on YouTube Find our guest at: Adam Woolard: Website, Instagram Joi And Blokes: Discount Code: ERICAL; Offer: 50% off labs + 20% off all products Follow me on Social Media: Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit YouTube PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/  

If you're getting everything done on the outside but feel exhausted, foggy, and feel like giving up on the inside, this episode is for you.High functioning burnout is the state where your nervous system stays on constant alert while your life keeps demanding more.It shows up most often in high achievers like entrepreneurs, corporate women, and medical professionals who are praised for pushing through.In this episode, I break down 18 subtle but powerful signs that your body is stuck between high cortisol and total collapse.We'll talk about why rest feels unsafe, stillness makes you anxious, and productivity comes in extreme waves instead of balance.You'll recognize the patterns of irritability, avoidance, overstimulation, and mental exhaustion that don't look like classic burnout.I explain what's actually happening inside your nervous system when you feel wired but tired, motivated but flat, social yet depleted.This isn't a motivation problem or a discipline issue, it's a regulation issue. You'll learn why pushing harder only deepens the loop and what happens if these signals are ignored long term.We'll connect the dots between chronic stress, dopamine crashes, cortisol dysregulation, and hormonal fallout.Most importantly, this episode will help you name what you're experiencing so you can stop blaming yourself.Burnout doesn't always look like quitting or falling apart, sometimes it looks like functioning too well for too long. If you want your life to feel as good as it looks, this conversation is a wake up call. Time Stamps: (1:20) Both Looking Good Today(2:22) Natalie Ellis Quote(3:35) Between High and Low Cortisol(5:18) 18 Signs You Are High Functioning Burnout(25:52) What To Look For If This Resonates With You---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

I walk through her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, pointing out what works well, where things could be improved, and why certain choices matter if your goal is fat loss, muscle building, or better long-term health. We talk about whole foods, protein timing, meal size distribution, and one of the most common mistakes I see people make when trying to "eat healthy." This episode goes deeper than the short Instagram versions. I explain the science in a practical way and show how small, realistic adjustments can make a big difference without turning your diet into something rigid or miserable. If you want a clearer, more sustainable approach to nutrition that actually fits real life, this episode will give you a better framework for thinking about your own meals.

In this episode, we take a hard look at the latest changes to the food pyramid and ask the big question: are these updates finally rooted in real science—or just recycled nutrition dogma?Next, we dive deep into saturated fat. Not all saturated fats are created equal, so we explore the different types, why the body actually needs saturated fat, and whether some sources can be considered genuinely healthy.Finally, we tackle one of nutrition's most controversial topics: Is there really a correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol and heart disease? To separate fact from fear, we play a powerful clip from Dr. Aseem Malhotra as he breaks down what the actual studies show—and what they don't.If you're confused by conflicting dietary advice and want evidence-based clarity, this episode is a must

Send us a textHow industrial farming, seed oils, soy, and pesticides impact food nutrition and health. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Soy's rise in farming: Originating from paint uses and wartime chemicals, soy became dominant due to subsidies and large-scale farming practices, but introduces high PUFAs, phytoestrogens, and pesticides into animal feeds.Feed's impact on eggs: Chicken feeds high in soy and corn raise linoleic acid levels in eggs compared to low-soy alternatives; low-PUFA eggs improve digestibility for many.PUFAs & health effects: Feeding PUFAs fattens animals faster and disrupts human gut lining and metabolism; body fat composition changes take time, linking to chronic issues like low energy.Phytoestrogens in soy: These compounds pass into animal products, affecting estrogen signaling and gut health; mainstream nutrition often overlooks their risks despite historical low exposure.Dairy variations: Raw milk retains lactoferrin for iron regulation and gut support, plus enzymes and probiotics destroyed in pasteurization; it may resolve dairy intolerances for some.Regenerative farming model: Armstrong's cooperative emphasizes traditional feeds to “resaturate” foods, reducing PUFAs; supports small farms amid declining farm numbers.Ancestral diets insight: Traditional diets vary but share low PUFA levels, avoiding modern chronic illnesses tied to industrial fats.ABOUT THE GUEST: Ashley Armstrong, PhD co-founded Angel Acres Farm in Michigan and now runs Nourish Food Club, a cooperative of small farms producing low-PUFA, soy-free animal foods.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 273: Nutrition Content of Animal & Plant Foods: Beef, Plant-Based Meat, Raw vs. Processed MilkSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Tired of the endless confusion around what you should and shouldn't eat?  I've got you covered: common sense will always get you further than insane rhetoric you have no intention of following.  It's hard on a good day - but now, with the new American food guidelines, we have a brewing culinary debate.  In this episode, we step into The New Diet Debate, including the growing conversation around meat vs. plant-based proteins and whole vs low fat dairy.  From high-protein plans to dairy-free living, plant-based everything to "real food only" rules—nutrition advice has never been louder or more conflicting. But is eliminating food groups actually improving health… or increasing stress and disconnection from the body? In this episode, we explore: The debate between animal protein and plant-based protein—what helps, what harms, and what depends on your body Why protein quality, digestion, and tolerance matter more than labels The difference between metabolic nourishment and diet identity A calmer, personalized approach to eating that supports midlife hormones, energy, and emotional regulation This episode is for women who are tired of choosing sides in food wars and ready to listen to their bodies instead of the noise. If you've ever wondered, "Should I cut dairy?" or "Is plant-based better for me?"—this conversation will help you move from debate to discernment. Ready for more guidance and support?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote to explore a kind of noise we often ignore. The quiet signals our body sends long before something breaks. Headaches we normalize, fatigue we push through, gut issues we brush off and sleep we sacrifice because life feels busy. Monisha reminds us that these are not inconveniences. They are communication.Dr. Monisha Bhanote is a board certified physician, integrative lifestyle medicine expert, culinary medicine specialist, researcher and founder of the Wellkula Institute. Her work bridges science and self awareness, helping people understand how daily choices shape health at the most fundamental level, our cells. In this conversation, she invites us to treat our bodies with the same care we give our phones, charging them intentionally rather than waiting for complete shutdown.We talk about why so many people feel depleted, inflamed or not quite themselves and why the answer is rarely found in another supplement or quick fix. Instead, it lives in the intelligence of the gut, the quality of our food, our sleep, our stress and the pace at which we live. We explore why being overfed and undernourished is one of the great contradictions of modern life and how prevention begins long before symptoms arrive.This episode is also deeply personal for me. I share parts of my own journey through burnout, fatigue and a recent cancer diagnosis, and why listening earlier might have changed everything. At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in nd reconnect with the wisdom your body has been trying to share with you all along.If you've been feeling tired, off or disconnected from your health, this episode will meet you right where you are.Inside this podcast:- Why symptoms are signals, not normal- How the body whispers before it needs to shout- Why cellular health is the foundation of wellbeing- The role of gut health, food, sleep and lifestyle in prevention- How listening earlier can change the course of your healthConnect with Dr. Monisha:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3L1m3ak LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/3LuKMnvWebsite → https://www.drbhanote.com/ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - Episode Start00:02:00 - The noise inside the body we learn to ignore00:03:40 - Why the body whispers before it shouts00:05:20 - Treating your body like your phone battery00:08:30 - Overfed, undernourished, and chronically depleted00:12:00 - Why people are always tired at a cellular level00:14:30 - Blood tests, ranges, and what gets missed00:18:20 - Gut health as the foundation of disease and healing00:21:30 - How many plants are you really eating00:26:00 - Slowing down meals and the European relationship with food00:30:00 - Sleep as a non negotiable health pillar00:32:30 - Diet myths, confirmation bias and health trends00:36:00 - Protein fears and plant based nutrition00:37:20 - My personal journey through burnout and diagnosis00:41:00 - Awareness, early signals, and missed prevention00:46:00 - Screening, testing, and why people avoid them00:49:30 - Longevity versus quality of life00:53:30 - Hope, purpose, and what drives healing00:56:50 - Key messages for taking ownership of your health00:58:30 - Building a health team, not relying on one voice01:01:00 - Prevention over intervention and closing reflectionsABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

One of my favorite things about Tangle is the process that happens before publication — the one our readers and listeners never get to see.I've been thinking a lot about this in recent months: How much debate, dialogue, and discussion goes into everything we publish. How much I learn from the conversations we have pre-publication. How desperately our country needs more of what I believe our staff models every day. I also think a lot about how trust in the media is at an all-time low, and all the innovative ways organizations like ours could try to win that trust back.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common questions in his 20 years of practice: what to do about enlarged adenoids, tonsils, and chronic ear infections. He reveals the hidden root cause that most doctors overlook—the "plumbing problem" caused by subluxation and lack of movement in the neurospinal system. Dr. Tony explains why movement is essential for drainage and provides a balanced decision-making framework for parents, including when natural care is enough and when surgical intervention may be necessary as a last resort.----Links & ResourcesNEI supersystem episode [Apple/Spotify]Deep Dive Episode on PANDAS/PANS [Apple/Spotify]-----Key Topics & Timestamps05:00 The Hidden Root Cause: The Plumbing Problem07:00 Why Antibiotics & Ear Tubes Don't Fix the Root Issue10:00 Movement is Life: The Key to Drainage14:00 The Role of Diet, Inflammation & Mucus Production17:00 The Balanced Approach: Natural First, Medical as Last Resort18:00 Principle #24: The Limitations of Matter22:00 Age Matters: Younger Kids Have More Neuroplasticity'27:00 The Decision-Making Framework: Exhaust Natural Options First-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

What if the reason weight loss feels so hard isn't lack of willpower, but lack of balance? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explores the concept of yin and yang through an unexpected yoga class, and how a gentler, more sustainable approach to weight loss can reduce burnout, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking. Learn how finding your “edge” (without pain or punishment) can reduce stress and help you create lasting weight loss and better health. You'll learn:Why most women approach weight loss from an overly yang mindset; pushing harder, doing more, and relying on discipline aloneWhat yin and yang really mean for health and sustainable weight loss (and why balance matters)How stress, nervous system overload, and constant effort can quietly stall weight lossWhy adding yin practices (rest, recovery, reflection, and embracing gentle progress) can actually improve resultsHow balancing effort with recovery makes weight loss feel easier, more sustainable, and less exhaustingThanks for listening!

Most people are struggling in modern relationships, and it is not because they are broken. It is because the systems around them are. In this episode, you'll learn why roughly 65 percent of people operate from insecure attachment, why that quietly destroys energy, trust, and intimacy, and how secure attachment becomes a critical biohacking upgrade for human performance, longevity, and emotional resilience. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Adam Lane Smith, MA Psych, a leading global expert on Attachment Theory and the neurobiology of human bonding. Adam has spent over 16 years studying and working in psychology, helping individuals, couples, and families repair broken relationships, rebuild trust, and develop secure attachment. His work focuses on skill-based nervous system training rather than talk therapy alone, often creating change in months instead of years. He now runs a global coaching practice and is on a mission to bring secure attachment to one billion people worldwide. Together, Dave and Adam break down why modern dating, career pressure, and social isolation have produced a generation of adults who feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. They explain how insecure attachment keeps people operating at low capacity, why bonding hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin regulate stress, sleep optimization, and emotional stability, and how broken attachment patterns sabotage metabolism, focus, and recovery. The conversation also covers AI companionship, dating apps, community collapse, and why no supplement, nootropic, fasting protocol, ketosis strategy, or carnivore diet can fully compensate for unsafe nervous systems. You'll Learn: • Why 65 percent of people struggle with modern relationships • How insecure attachment caps energy, focus, and emotional resilience • Why secure attachment matters more as you age, not less • How bonding hormones regulate stress, sleep, and recovery • Why high performers still burn out without nervous system safety • How men and women experience attachment and regulation differently • Why AI and dating apps can worsen disconnection if used poorly • How community and shared purpose rebuild secure attachment • Why supplements and nootropics cannot replace real connection • Where to start if you want stronger relationships and higher capacity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the five most important lab tests that reveal how well your heart, brain, metabolism, and longevity systems are functioning. You'll learn why standard lab work often misses early warning signs. These markers help identify risk long before symptoms appear.   You'll see how fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and the triglyceride to HDL ratio expose whether your body is stuck in sugar burning or efficiently using fat for fuel. Dr. Jockers explains what optimal ranges actually mean. These labs paint a clear picture of metabolic health.   Homocysteine and C-reactive protein reflect inflammation, cardiovascular stress, and brain aging. Dr. Jockers explains how elevated levels connect to long-term disease risk. These markers offer critical insight into overall longevity.   In This Episode:  00:00 Understanding Hemoglobin A1C 00:24 Introduction to Top Lab Tests 03:18 Top 5 Lab Tests for Health and Longevity 04:21 Fasting Insulin Levels: The Superhero Hormone 06:43 Hemoglobin A1C: Blood Sugar Regulation 08:36 Triglycerides to HDL Ratio: Metabolic Health 12:03 Homocysteine: The Inflammatory Amino Acid 15:18 C-Reactive Protein: Inflammation Marker 18:10 Diet and Lifestyle for Optimal Health 21:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Hair loss isn't caused by age but by hair follicles being switched off, and Swiss researchers discovered how to turn them back on with Purality Health - AnaGain Nu, a clinically proven compound extracted from pea sprouts that stimulates hair follicle cells and pushes them back into the growth phase.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced a pair of actions to address rising homeownership costs. On January 8, the president directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — government-sponsored mortgage-finance companies — to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds to bring down mortgage rates. On January 7, Trump said he was “taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes” and would ask Congress to codify those rules. The president said he will share more details about his housing affordability plans in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right for your health—eating well, working out, getting enough sleep—but something still feels off?In this episode, I'm pulling together insights from past conversations and research on the most overlooked pillar of health: social connection. The U.S. Surgeon General called loneliness a public health epidemic in 2023, comparing its health risks to smoking. Research on centenarians shows that strong relationships might be just as important as nutrition for living a long, healthy life.This is for anyone who knows relationships matter but keeps putting them last on the priority list.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness a health epidemic and how it compares to smokingWhat research on people who live past 100 reveals about the importance of social connectionHow to break the cycle of busyness and actually prioritize meaningful relationshipsGuest mentioned in this episode:Dr. Joseph Antoun (Episode 248) - CEO of L-Nutra Health, longevity expertMichelle Niemeyer (Episode 283) - Time management and burnout expertLink to the goodies I mentioned: https://www.beginwithin.fit/toolkitConnect with me: https://www.beginwithin.fit/If you're enjoying the Begin Within Health Show, please consider subscribing/following and leaving a 5-star review!

Today, I am honored to welcome my personal trainer, Linda Alexander, as my guest. Linda has been training middle-aged and older women almost exclusively for the last decade of the 40 years she has spent in personal training. In our conversation, we explore the challenges of training middle-aged women. Linda highlights the importance of strength training over cardiovascular exercise, and we discuss the way my elementary school physical education teacher approached physical fitness for children many years ago. Linda explains how she evaluates new clients through movement and exercise progression, shares her personal view on intermittent fasting, and clarifies how it can contradict muscle building and maintenance. We also explore the importance of mindset and keeping nutrition simple, and we dive into many listener questions, ranging from progressive overload to nutrition and workouts.  This conversation with my personal trainer is truly impactful, one that many of you have been asking for. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did while recording it. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How women's nutritional needs and exercise tolerance change at different life stages How to control your carbohydrate intake without necessarily being ketogenic Linda shares her approach to strength training How our mindsets and self-expectations influence strength training experience How functional movement can help older adults maintain their independence and prevent falls Why combining a ketogenic diet with cardio can hinder achieving the results you want The benefits of eating protein before or after exercise The importance of staying well-hydrated and taking supplements to support your energy and recovery How celebrating small wins and practicing self-kindness can strengthen your mindset and improve your long-term progress Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow)  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

During oral arguments on Tuesday, the Supreme Court appeared likely to uphold state laws banning anyone other than biological females from participating in women's and girls' sports. In West Virginia v. B.P.J., the mother of a transgender girl brought a challenge to a state law in West Virginia; in Little v. Hecox, a transgender woman wishing to compete at the college level challenged an Idaho law. Together, the legal challenges claim the laws violate the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in programs that receive federal funding. Although the justices are expected to rule similarly in each case, the Court is considering the challenges separately.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

Want to know how GLP-1s could change the way you help your personal training clients build muscle, stay healthy, and get great results for the long term?   Dr. Ben Bocchicchio is an award-winning athlete and a prolific and highly respected figure in exercise science, fitness and wellness, rehabilitation, and even the legal field. He is also the author of 15 Minutes to Fitness: Dr. Ben's SMaRT Plan for Diet and Total Health.   He joins us to talk about his thoughts on GLP-1 use alongside strength training — he explains what they are, their possible benefits beyond just dropping weight, and some worries about side effects and keeping progress after people stop using them.    The conversation then moves to practical tips for trainers, where we cover how to talk about using these with clients, what doctors often suggest alongside them, and smart ways to use this topic in your marketing content.    This episode is a great starting point if you've ever wanted to get a balanced understanding of GLP-1s as a personal trainer and strength studio owner. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Get a FREE course to grow your strength training business here ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Get NEW Precision-Engineered MedX Machines here  ━━━━━━━━━━━━ For the complete show notes, links, and resources, click here

Mood, motivation, and emotional resilience are not personality traits. They are biological systems. In this episode, you'll get the 12 greatest mood boosters on Earth, not as a clickbait supplement list, but as the real biological levers that control dopamine sensitivity, hormones, neuroplasticity, and energy production.Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down in Dubai with friend of the show, Lucas Aoun, founder of Ergogenic Health and INB4, for a deep, experience driven conversation on dopamine, mood, and performance. Lucas is Australia's leading biohacker, now based in Dubai, with a background in exercise science, naturopathy, and pharmacology. He is globally recognized for his work in dopamine regulation, testosterone optimization, and neurohormonal performance, and for rigorously testing protocols before recommending them. Together, Dave and Lucas explore how dopamine receptor upregulation changes motivation, mood, and resilience more effectively than stimulants alone. They break down compounds and systems discussed in the episode including solbutiamine, lithium orotate, sarcosine, inositol, uridine, testosterone, growth hormone, ketamine pathways, thyroid optimization, liver health, sleep quality, and desire regulation. The conversation also examines GLP-1 drugs, why they can blunt motivation, and how to think more strategically about long term mood and energy. This episode connects neuroscience, functional medicine, hormone biology, nootropics, and advanced biohacking ethics into a single framework for improving how you feel and function every day. Dave and Lucas also explain why experimentation requires guardrails, how to avoid tolerance and emotional flattening, and why upgrading baseline biology beats chasing quick fixes. You'll Learn: • Why dopamine sensitivity matters more than dopamine levels • How mood, motivation, and desire are regulated biologically • Which compounds and systems came up as major mood levers • How testosterone and growth hormone influence emotional resilience • Why some longevity drugs may reduce motivation and drive • How sleep depth and mitochondrial function affect mood • The role of neuroplasticity in emotional regulation • Why strategic testing beats random supplementation • How to improve mood without addiction or burnout • Where to start if you want sustainable energy and motivation Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

283: UFC World Champion, mother and nutrition activist Miesha Tate is here to talk about what women actually need when it comes to food, strength, and recovery. We break down why calories in vs. calories out doesn't always work for women, how hormones completely change the nutrition conversation, and why nutrient density matters more than restriction. Miesha shares her journey in a male-dominated sport, how she rebuilt her health and performance after having kids, and what she's learned about food as fuel, and how to raise healthy kids in an unhealthy world.  Topics Discussed: → Is calories in vs. calories out the best framework for women's nutrition? → How should women eat differently than men for strength, hormones, and longevity? → What does eating nutrient-dense food do for performance and recovery? → How does Miesha use red light therapy and HBOT to improve recovery?  → How can moms rebuild strength, metabolism, and bone density after having kids?

Dr. Carpenter shares her personal journey from struggling with eating disorders to becoming a leading expert in sports science, offering a unique perspective on why high achievers often struggle with diet adherence. They dive deep into the science of behavior change, emphasizing that willpower is a finite resource and that true success lies in building automatic, cognitively effortless habits.

On Sunday, The New York Times reported that the U.S. attorney's office in the District of Columbia has launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The investigation reportedly focuses on Powell's June 2025 congressional testimony about the central bank's renovation of its Washington headquarters. Shortly after the first reports surfaced, Powell confirmed that he had received grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment. The chairman called the investigation “unprecedented” and said the administration is threatening legal action to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

What Should I Actually Eat? Diet confusion is everywhere. But the truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all diet. The best diet is the one that works for your biology. In this Office Hours episode, I answer your most common diet questions and break down the core principles everyone should understand before choosing how to eat. In this episode I break down: • Why the “best diet” is personalized—and why ideology should never override biology • The universal principles everyone should follow, regardless of diet • Why ultra-processed foods—not carbs, fat, or protein—are the real problem • How blood sugar dysregulation drives chronic disease, including mental health issues • Keto, paleo, vegan, and Mediterranean: who they help, common mistakes, and what to watch for • How to tell if your diet is working—using symptoms, energy, digestion, mood, and labs Your body is the smartest doctor in the room. The key is learning how to listen. Visit ⁠functionhealth.com⁠ for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.
