Nutrition can feel confusing when every new diet promises a different solution. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims talks with Barbell Logic Director of Nutrition Brittany Snyder about why lasting progress rarely comes from complicated diet plans. Instead, the most reliable improvements in health and body composition often come from building simple nutrition habits that can be repeated consistently. Many people spend years searching for the perfect diet. They try low-carb programs, intermittent fasting, strict meal plans, and calorie restriction, only to find themselves repeating the same cycle again and again. Brittany explains why this happens and why focusing on small behavior changes can be far more effective than chasing the latest nutrition trend. The conversation explores how nutrition coaching works in practice, including how coaches help clients identify the habits that will have the biggest impact. Instead of prescribing the same diet to everyone, coaches gather information about a client's current routines and develop strategies that fit their lifestyle, preferences, and goals. Niki and Brittany also discuss why accountability plays such an important role in long-term success. Having a coach who regularly reviews progress, asks thoughtful questions, and helps troubleshoot challenges can make it much easier to stay consistent with healthy habits. Along the way they talk about practical examples of simple nutrition habits that can improve health and body composition, including prioritizing protein intake, increasing vegetables, reducing alcohol consumption, and setting small weekly intentions. These changes may seem basic, but when practiced consistently they can produce meaningful results. The episode also highlights Brittany's Lean in 12 program, a twelve-week nutrition coaching experience designed to provide daily accountability, regular feedback, and a supportive community for clients working toward sustainable fat loss and improved health. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting diet advice, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective. Instead of searching for the perfect diet, Brittany explains why focusing on simple nutrition habits and consistent behavior changes may be the most effective way to improve your nutrition and support long-term strength training success.

Peak Human - Unbiased Nutrition Info for Optimum Health, Fitness & Living
In this episode of Peak Human, Brian Sanders sits down with physician, athlete, and author Dr. Jaime Seeman to discuss what it really takes to become "hard to kill." Dr. Seeman is a practicing OB-GYN, former Mrs. Nebraska, competitive athlete, and metabolic health advocate. After struggling with her own metabolic issues, including prediabetes and hypothyroidism, she transformed her health through diet, strength training, and lifestyle changes. Together, Brian and Dr. Seeman explore how metabolic dysfunction develops, why muscle is one of the most powerful tools for longevity, and why focusing on nutrients instead of calories may be the key to fixing modern health problems. They also dive into women's metabolic health, perimenopause, visceral fat, and the role of diet evolution—from ketogenic to carnivore to a flexible real-food approach. This conversation breaks down the science of human nutrition and performance while offering practical strategies for living stronger, longer, and healthier.

You've tried the diets. You know what you're "supposed" to eat. And yet there you are at 3pm, somehow in the break room eating cookies you didn't even plan to touch — and spending the rest of the afternoon beating yourself up about it. Here's what I want you to hear: that's not a food problem. And diet culture has been handing you the completely wrong answer for years. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why diet culture was never designed to help with stress eating, emotional eating, or binge eating — and why trying to apply diet rules to these struggles is like putting a band-aid over something that needs actual stitches. I talk about why your brain is using food to solve other problems (and why that actually makes sense), why perfection-based approaches set you up to fall apart every single time, and why the scale might be making everything worse when you're already feeling out of control. This episode is for you if you know exactly what to eat but can't figure out why you keep eating when you don't want to. You're not broken. You've just been given the wrong tools.

Transportation of cattle is an essential component of the U.S. beef production system, but the stress caused with moving cattle is also associated with reduced feedlot performance and increased incidents of bovine respiratory diseases. Stephanie Hansen an Iowa State Feedlot Nutritionist says new research on strategic zinc supplementation is helping to fix this issue.
Why do so many of us feel powerless around food? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle is joined by psychologist, behavioural change specialist and author Shahroo Izadi to explore the surprising connection between addiction, shame, and our relationship with food.Drawing on her experience working in drug and alcohol recovery within the NHS and prisons, Shahroo explains why the way we talk to ourselves about food often mirrors the way people speak about addiction - and why shame is one of the biggest barriers to lasting change.Katie and Shahroo unpack why diets so often fail, why late-night cravings feel impossible to resist, and how compassion and behavioural psychology can help us break patterns that feel completely out of our control.They also explore how modern life, from stress and scrolling to busy schedules and disrupted routines, is affecting our nervous systems, our digestion, and our ability to make healthy choices.More information here: https://katiebrindle.com/Subscribe to my newsletter: https://katiebrindle.com/newsletter-s...Buy 'Yang Sheng: The Art of Chinese Self-Healing' athttps://www.hayoumethod.com/product/y...Buy the Hayo'u tools at https://www.hayoumethod.com/products/--------------------------------------------Join my channel and leave a comment about what you want to see next!Love, Katie Brindle.

In this episode, I talk about some of the common traps people fall into with different diets and why so many of them fail in the long run. I also dig into the weird emotional attachment we often have to old diets, even when they clearly didn't work for us.I encourage you to step back and ask a simple question: did that diet actually teach you anything useful for the long term? Because a good nutrition approach shouldn't just help you lose weight for a few weeks. It should teach you the skills you need to manage your health for life.I also walk through the framework I believe works best. It starts with strong nutrition foundations, adds flexibility so it can fit real life, and finishes with a clear plan for maintaining your results long term.Time Stamps:00:00 The Diet Dilemma: A Journey Through Fads02:05 Letting Go of Past Diets: Emotional Attachments05:19 Building a Sustainable Nutrition FrameworkClick me for show notes!PS.

What if your goals didn't need more willpower, just better engineering? We break down a practical, client-tested system that helps hundreds of people to achieve the best shape of their life and keep it, a system that shifts you from just planning to the right kind of preparing so your intentions survive real life. Using Navy SEAL-level readiness as a metaphor, we map the 5 moves that make change stick. You'll learn how to define “done” so clearly you can describe it like a movie, then reverse-engineer steps from that finish line. From there, we draw a hard line between planning and preparing. Planning is the checklist. Preparing is the logistics: what you'll eat, when you'll shop, where food will be stored, how you'll handle late meetings, travel days, and mornings that go sideways. By stress-testing your plan upfront, you remove excuses before they appear. Next, we show how systems outperform discipline. You'll hear simple ways to make the right action easy and the wrong action hard—staging tools where the behavior starts, preloading meals and shakers, and stripping out friction points that derail progress. We also get tactical about accountability, from enlist-your-team check-ins to light public commitments that raise the stakes just enough to double adherence, a pattern supported by health research. Finally, we walk through measuring what matters, reflecting on obstacles, and adjusting fast so momentum never stalls. If you've ever watched a goal wither after day 3, this conversation gives you a repeatable framework to protect your plan from chaos of daily life.

Send a textMost people think body image is about weight.It's not.Body image is about the story you learned about yourself — often long before you understood what calories or cellulite even were.In this episode, we explore:What body image actually is (and why it's not just about the mirror)How childhood experiences shape the way you see yourselfWhy we often perceive our bodies inaccuratelyThe emotional triggers that intensify body dissatisfactionWhy self-criticism doesn't create sustainable weight lossWhy even people who lose weight — including those using GLP-1 medications — can still feel deeply unhappy in their bodiesIf you've ever believed:“I'll feel better about myself when I'm thinner,” this episode gently challenges that idea.This is not about forced body positivity.It's about understanding the psychology behind body image — and learning how to stop letting it quietly run your life.Because your life is happening now.Not ten kilos from now.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

That ketogenic diets are bad for your heart.

In this powerful episode of Food Junkies, we're joined by Amber Romaniuk, emotional eating and digestive health expert, to unpack the real drivers behind binge eating, food addiction, and the relentless restrict–overeat cycle. Amber shares her personal recovery journey from binge eating, bulimia, and food addiction—and explains why lasting healing requires more than another diet or food plan. Together, we explore how hormones, thyroid function, nervous system stress, and shame shape our relationship with food in ways most people are never taught. This conversation is especially important for women who feel like they "know better" but still struggle—and wonder why nothing seems to stick.
Send a textWellness culture didn't start with Instagram. From George Cheyne's 1724 bestseller to Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters redefining fat bodies as "the enemy within," the methods and ideology haven't changed in four centuries—even as the evidence proves they've never worked. In this episode, I trace wellness influencers back to the 17th century, exposing how former fat people turned their weight cycling into moral crusades, transforming fat bodies from "friendly jokes" into threats deserving punishment. These aren't just historical curiosities—they're the architects of today's war on ob*sity, and understanding their playbook helps us see modern wellness influencers for what they really are: unoriginal copycats parroting 400-year-old nonsense.

Today's conversation is one that touches every single one of us — whether we realize it or not.We're talking about trauma.Not just the big, obvious trauma. Not just what happened to you. But how it lives inside your body… and quietly shapes your health, stress levels, relationships, and even your sense of purpose.Joining us is Diana Bitting, co-founder and CEO of Catbird Health, an AI-powered trauma-informed care platform pioneering an entirely new model for healing.But Diana didn't start here. She spent decades struggling with a chronic inflammatory condition that no doctor could explain. Test after test came back “normal.” She was told it was stress. Or anxiety. Or maybe even “all in her head.”Sound familiar?After trying everything — diets, protocols, medications, functional medicine, and talk therapy — nothing created lasting relief. Until one conversation changed everything.When Diana began exploring trauma science and nervous system healing, her symptoms started to lift. Because here's what she discovered: Trauma doesn't just live in the brain. It lives in the body. And until the nervous system feels safe, true healing can't happen.In this episode, we explore:Why trauma is stored in the nervous systemThe link between inflammation, anxiety, insomnia, and unresolved traumaWhy talk therapy alone may not be enoughThe difference between cognitive healing and body-based healingHow personalized, trauma-informed care is changing the future of medicineWhy every single one of us can benefit from trauma healingThis conversation is grounded in science, but it's also deeply hopeful.Because healing trauma isn't just about resolving the past. It's about unlocking energy, clarity, connection, and purpose in the present.If you've ever felt like something was “off” in your body — even when everything looked fine on paper — this episode may connect some powerful dots.You are not broken. Your body has been protecting you. And healing is possible.MORE FROM DIANA BITTINGCheck out Catbird and start your person healing journey. Learn more about Diana.

Mailbag: Your GLP-1 Questions on Pregnancy, Dosing, and Why Diets Cause Fat GainWhat happens when you stop GLP-1 medications before getting pregnant? Why might your thyroid numbers change on Zepbound? And why do people gain more body fat after dieting — even when they're still eating well? Dr. Cooper tackles your toughest questions.This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions covering pregnancy planning on GLP-1s, unmasked thyroid problems, injection site reactions, mechanical eating after bariatric surgery, why diets cause fat regain at a cellular level, and discussing with your doctor whether you should (or shouldn't) increase your medication dose.Key TakeawaysGLP-1 medications aren't causing gestational diabetes — they may have been masking underlying metabolic dysfunction that becomes visible when the medication is stoppedThyroid problems can be "unmasked" by GLP-1 treatment because the medications signal to your brain that you're not starving, allowing the pituitary TSH to rise, sometime uncovering a pre-existing thyroid issueZepbound may improve iron absorption — if iron levels go too high, testing for hemochromatosis may be warrantedTo reduce injection site reactions: warm the medication to room temperature, clean and prep skin but don't over-rub with alcohol, inject at exactly 90 degrees, don't pinch the skin, and stay relaxedDiets cause fat regain at the cellular level — it's chemistry, not willpower — and the fat often accumulates in the visceral area around organsThere's no need to increase your GLP-1 dose if you're making good progress — an annual weight loss rate of 15% or higher is considered strongNotable Quote"You can't think that just because somebody's weight is high, it's because something they're doing is wrong. That is just not founded in science whatsoever." — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: fatsciencepodcast.comCooper Center for Metabolism: coopermetabolic.comResources from Dr. Cooper: coopermetabolic.com/resourcesJoin Our Community: patreon.com/cw/FatSciencePodcastSubmit Your Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comFat Science is supported by the Diabesity Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to effective, science-based metabolic care.Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Diets can be a reminder of what no can feel like. The issue occurs that over time a no somatically gets connected with deprivation and restriction. So when you really don't want to eat something, a no sends your body into a survival response. It can feel like you're not allowed to say no because now all you feel is tight, tense, and constricted. And then anti diet culture swoops in and tells you that you're allowed to eat and to eat everything and this can push you further away from listening to what would resonate most with you.

Fermented foods are biologically active whole foods that reshape digestion and immune signaling by delivering microbes, enzymes, and microbial byproducts together, not isolated nutrients Most benefits from fermented foods come from changes in gut chemistry and microbial signaling rather than permanent colonization, which explains why you can see results even without lasting microbiome changes Different fermented foods act through different pathways, so rotating options like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and sourdough supports broader gut resilience than relying on a single "superfood" Regular fermented food intake increases gut microbiome diversity and lowers systemic inflammation, a pattern linked to reduced risk of metabolic, inflammatory, and stress-related conditions Introducing fermented foods gradually and with meals improves tolerance, nutrient absorption, and digestive comfort while rebuilding the microbial signals modern diets removed

I'm Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn't heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track? I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free! And, I'm here to teach you HOW to do this, too.

In this episode, Ben Azadi explains the five metabolic levels of fat loss and why most people feel stuck despite dieting, exercising, and eating “clean.” Fat loss is not about willpower or calories. It is about hormones, inflammation, and metabolic signaling. Many people fail because they are using the wrong strategy for the metabolic level their body is currently in. Ben breaks down each level, from the Frozen Phase, where the body is in survival mode and unable to burn fat, to Fat-Burning Freedom, where fat loss becomes effortless and sustainable. You will learn: Why caloric restriction and excessive cardio backfire How insulin resistance and inflammation block fat loss Why eating clean is not enough without proper timing and protein How intermittent fasting, strength training, and recovery reset metabolism What it truly takes to lose 25–50+ pounds and keep it off This episode reframes fat loss as a metabolic progression and provides clarity for anyone who has struggled with plateaus, rebounds, or frustration on their health journey.

Send a textThe weight loss industry has convinced us that being fat is a personal failure—a consequence of eating too much and moving too little. But the truth is far more complex and liberating. Your weight is controlled by genetics, epigenetics, environmental factors, trauma, chronic stress, and systems of oppression that were intentionally designed to control marginalized bodies. In this episode, I break down the scientific evidence showing why the "calories in, calories out" narrative is a lie, explore how everything from urbanization to discrimination drives weight gain through cortisol, and reveal how this cycle of blame was always rooted in anti-Black racism, capitalism, and misogyny. It's time to shift responsibility from individuals to the systems and institutions whose literal job it is to address these conditions—because you didn't break this, and you shouldn't have to fix it.Got a question for the next podcast?

Advanced skincare routines are more popular than ever, yet dryness, laxity, and visible aging still persist. The issue isn't effort or discipline. It's that skin aging is being treated as a surface-level problem instead of a cellular and structural one.We dive deeper into this in the latest Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Jess Kane. We also chat about how cell membrane health shapes visible aging, why omega fats are widely misunderstood, and how most “liposomal” supplements never reach the cell.Jessica Kane is the Co-Owner and Chief Marketing Officer of BodyBio, a third-generation wellness company specializing in cellular health. She works alongside healthcare practitioners and researchers to translate complex cell membrane and lipid science into practical, evidence-based solutions. What's Discussed:(06:17) Why advanced skincare and red light therapy still fail without cellular building blocks(07:37) How low-fat nutrition and missing lipids weaken skin structure over time(09:55) Cell membranes explained as the foundation of skin barrier, tone, and elasticity(10:46) How phospholipids act as the “cement” between skin cells and prevent laxity(13:15) Why the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio matters more than taking fish oil alone(15:57) Why most phosphatidylcholine on the market is not truly liposomal(18:28) How “liposomal” labeling works and why most supplements fail cellular delivery(36:01) Why vitamin C and glutathione don't impact collagen without proper absorptionFind more from Young Goose:Find our Elastin Protocol here: https://younggoose.com/pages/elastin-action-protocol-landingFind our Winter Protocol here: https://younggoose.com/pages/winter-protocolVAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery: https://younggoose.com/products/vampire-exosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://younggoose.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=appleInstagram: http://instagram.com/young_goose_skincareFind more from Jess Kane: Website: https://bodybio.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/jesskaneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodybio/Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@jesskaneb
If you're over 40 and suddenly dealing with bloating, constipation or diarrhea, weight gain, brain fog, skin issues, or painful periods, this episode explains why your gut—not your willpower—is the real place to start.In this episode, Melissa Eich breaks down why gut health is the most overlooked foundation of healing in perimenopause, why food sensitivity testing often causes more harm than clarity, and how functional testing like the GI Map reveals root causes that conventional GI care frequently misses.If you've been told to “eat more fiber,” “manage stress,” or given another prescription without real answers, this conversation will help you understand why your body feels off—and what actually works.Ready to Heal Your Gut? Enroll here: https://l.bttr.to/doi1xIn This Episode, You'll Learn:Why gut health is ground zero for healing in midlifeHow gut dysfunction drives hormone imbalance, fatigue, and stubborn weight gainThe gut–estrogen connection and why detoxification mattersHow leaky gut contributes to bloating, food reactions, brain fog, and skin issuesWhy food sensitivity tests are misleading (and often harmful)What the GI Map test reveals that colonoscopies and standard labs don'tHow gut inflammation worsens perimenopause symptoms like mood swings, hot flashes, and heavy periodsWhat a personalized, holistic gut health program actually looks likeWhy nervous system regulation is essential for lasting gut healingWhy Gut Health Matters More After 40During perimenopause, your body becomes far less tolerant of stress, inflammation, under-fueling, and chronic gut dysfunction. Your gut plays a key role in nutrient absorption, immune health, neurotransmitter production, and estrogen detoxification.When the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, estrogen recirculates instead of being eliminated—leading to worsening hormone symptoms, persistent weight gain, and feeling “off” no matter what you try. This is why gut healing must come before focusing on hormones, HRT, or weight loss.What the GI Map Test RevealsThe GI Map stool test provides insight into:Beneficial and pathogenic bacteriaDysbiosis and overgrowthGut inflammation and permeabilityImmune activityEstrogen detox pathwaysThis allows for a targeted, personalized healing plan instead of guesswork.A Holistic Gut Health Program for PerimenopauseMelissa shares a limited-time comprehensive gut healing package that includes:At-home GI Map testingPersonalized lab interpretationA 12-week custom gut healing protocolTargeted supplements only if neededA 21-day gut reset focused on nourishment, not restrictionNervous system regulation toolsThree follow-up sessions for real support and progressThis approach focuses on restoring digestion, supporting hormone balance, and helping you feel clear, steady, and at home in your body again.Explore the program here: https://l.bttr.to/doi1xWho This Episode Is ForThis episode is for you if:You're bloated or constipated despite “doing everything right”Weight loss no longer works the way it used toYou've tried elimination diets, probiotics, or food sensitivity testingYou're dealing with gut and hormone symptoms at the same timeYou want root-cause healing—not another quick fixKey SEO Topics: Perimenopause gut health, GI Map testing, holistic gut health, gut health program perimenopause, dysbiosis, leaky gut, estrogen detoxification, hormone imbalance after 40, brain fog and gut health

Gestational diabetes rates climbed every single year in the U.S. from 2016 through 2024, turning what was once uncommon into a routine metabolic stress test that many pregnancies now fail The condition reflects years of declining metabolic health before conception, not a sudden problem that starts during pregnancy Certain racial and ethnic groups face far higher rates, showing that environment, access, and long-standing metabolic strain shape risk well before prenatal care begins Diets low in usable energy and high in seed oils, along with toxic exposures and inactivity, weaken insulin signaling and set the stage for blood sugar breakdown Restoring cellular energy, removing seed oils, reducing environmental toxins, optimizing vitamin D through sunlight, and moving daily strengthen glucose control and lower long-term risks for both mother and child
Most diets fail — not because you can't follow them, but because they were never designed for real life.

Gluten-free diets were initially intended for children with medical conditions such as celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity A review published in Frontiers in Nutrition found that gluten-free diets, when not medically required, can cause nutrient gaps and raise health risks for children A recent study in The American Journal of Gastroenterology found that young patients exhibited a significant increase in urinary arsenic and other metal levels after only six months on a gluten-free diet When cooked properly, white rice can be a smarter choice than brown rice because it's easier to digest, contains less arsenic and heavy metals Instead of cutting out foods that are good for your gut, include healthy carbs, choose stable fats over seed oils, and learn to calm your food fears
Fast results sounds tempting — especially when life feels busy, out of control, or urgent.In this episode, I break down why extreme dieting keeps women stuck in the same cycle: losing weight quickly, regaining it, and feeling more frustrated than before. We'll talk about what rapid weight loss actually does to your metabolism, hormones, energy, and confidence — and why it becomes harder to see results the older and more driven you are.If you've ever wondered why “just be more disciplined” stopped working, this episode will connect the dots.Join The Metabolic Method >> HEREQuestions?

286. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Natalie Crawford, a board-certified fertility doctor with a nutrition background, to talk about what women aren't being taught about fertility and hormonal health.

We also talk about how mindset, lifestyle, exercise and sleep can contribute toward fertility, especially if you're in your late 30s and 40s. This conversation shifts the narrative away from fear and age and back to the health of the woman. Topics Discussed: → How does hormonal birth control impact fertility and the menstrual cycle? → Why should you track your cycle naturally? → When does health matter more than age when trying to get pregnant? → What is AMH and when should you check your levels? → What is the biggest factor impacting fertility?

If you've ever thought, “I'm eating healthy… so why do I feel worse?” — this episode is for you. In today's conversation, we're breaking down GI-MAP testing in clear, human language.

It's about listening to your body with better context, reducing guesswork, and choosing support strategies that actually align with where your gut is today. Data doesn't heal—but informed care does.
