In this powerful episode, the Holistic Kids crew sits down with Ashley Koff, RD, USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot and a leading weight health practitioner with over 25 years of experience. Ashley flips the script on how we talk about weight with kids — moving away from diets, BMI, and body shame, and toward understanding what the body is actually telling us. She explains how hormones like GLP-1, GIP, and PYY are made in the gut lining, why antibiotics and medications can disrupt them for years, and what that means for growing bodies. The conversation also tackles the rising use of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy) in kids as young as 10 — what the research says, what parents and teens should know, and why these medications are a tool, not a solution on their own. In this episode, you'll learn: Why weight is a signal, not a sentence What GLP-1, GIP, and gut hormones actually do — explained simply How antibiotics and medications affect your hormones for years The truth about GLP-1 medications for kids and teens 3 daily habits to naturally support hormone balance Why BMI is a flawed measure — and what to look at instead The "race car" nutrition approach that keeps your body running better What "better, not perfect" really means for teenagers Guest: Ashley Koff, RD — Founder of The Better Nutrition Program, author of Your Best Shot, recognized by CNN as one of the Top 100 Health Makers.
Violent anti-immigrant riots erupted in Belfast in Northern Ireland last night, in response to a viral video showing a stabbing attack perpetrated by a Sudanese national. Masked protesters burned down houses and torched cars, sending some families fleeing, and others into hiding. Also, local officials in southern Iran say the US has struck a water reservoir there, leaving thousands of people without clean drinking water, as the two countries continue with fraught negotiations. And, the government of Fiji has rejected a proposed waste incinerator plant that would risk, what they call, growing "waste colonialism."

Food Around the World — How Different Cultures Eat SmartEvery Culture I Have Ever Cooked With Has Taught Me Something I Couldn't Have Learned Any Other WaySometime in the 1990s, I started keeping a list. Every time I traveled — and I traveled a great deal, following food the way other people follow art or music — I wrote down the single most important thing I learned about how the people of that place ate. By now, the list is long. Japan: the philosophy of hara hachi bu, eating until you are eighty percent full. Morocco: the communal bowl, the sharing of food as an act of social trust. Mexico: the extraordinary sophistication of a cuisine built almost entirely on ingredients that grew in one place — corn, beans, chiles, squash, tomatoes, and chocolate — without which the entire Western food tradition would be unrecognizable. Greece: the radical simplicity of the best food, which asks for nothing more than extraordinary raw ingredients and the wisdom to leave them alone.I grew up in an Italian-American family in Rhode Island, and Italian cooking was the lens through which I first came to understand food. That lens, I later realized, had given me certain advantages and certain blind spots. The advantages were real: I had grown up understanding that food is inseparable from family, that meals are ceremonies, that the quality of ingredients matters more than the complexity of technique, and that patience is a virtue that rewards you with flavor. The blind spots were equally real: I had grown up thinking, on some unexamined level, that the Mediterranean tradition was simply the best, the standard against which other cuisines should be measured.Travel cured me of that. The first time I ate a properly prepared bowl of Japanese ramen — not the instant variety, but real ramen, the kind where the broth has simmered for eighteen hours and every component has been made with obsessive care — I sat in silence for several minutes before I could say anything. It was not Italian food. It was not trying to be Italian food. It was its own complete, sophisticated, deeply nutritional universe, built on principles of flavor and health that were entirely different from what I knew and equally valid. That was a humbling and liberating moment.What I have come to understand, through decades of eating and cooking across cultures, is that the world's great food traditions are great for reasons that go far beyond tradition. They survived because they worked. The Mediterranean diet — olive oil, fish, legumes, whole grains, abundant vegetables, moderate amounts of everything else — is not celebrated by nutritional science because researchers decided to honor a charming European lifestyle. It is celebrated because study after study has found it to be among the most health-protective dietary patterns ever documented. The Japanese diet — rich in fish, fermented foods, seaweed, vegetables, and soy — is associated with some of the highest longevity rates on the planet. The traditional Mexican diet, built on the corn-and-bean combination that forms a complete protein, sustained complex civilizations for thousands of years before anyone had coined the word 'nutrition.'The lesson I draw from this is not that any single culture has the perfect diet, but that the world's traditional food cultures, in their pre-industrial forms, all arrived at similar principles through very different paths: whole ingredients, minimal processing, balance among food groups, strong seasonality, communal eating, and reverence for the act of preparing and sharing food. These are not coincidences. They are convergent solutions to the same fundamental human problem: how to nourish a body well over a long life.I have also learned, through cooking with people from dozens of traditions, that food is one of the most powerful bridges between human beings who have very little else in common.
Most runners train hard and eat like an afterthought. In this episode, Isobel and Ron break down the nutrition fundamentals that directly support your training: not the fads, not the noise, just what the research actually says and what she's learned from years of racing and coaching at the sharp end of the sport.They cover the biggest mistake runners make with food (hint: it's not eating too much), why carbohydrates are not the enemy, how much protein you actually need as an endurance athlete, and why your gut health might be the thing standing between you and your next finish line.Ron also weighs in, because someone has to represent the people who just eat whatever and hope for the best.In this episode:RED-S — the underfuelling syndrome that's wrecking performance for more runners than you thinkThe carbohydrate conversation (and why low-carb isn't the answer for most of you)Protein targets for endurance athletes, the numbers will probably surprise youTiming your nutrition around training — what actually mattersGut health, GI distress, and why race day is not the time to experimentThis is training nutrition: day-to-day eating that builds a body that can handle the work.

Chapter 5 — Kitchen Science — Cooking Is ChemistryThe Kitchen Is the Greatest Laboratory I Have Ever Worked InI have had the privilege, over a long career, of working alongside some extraordinary minds. Farmers who understood soil science with an intuitive depth that rivaled any academic. Fishermen who read weather and water with almost supernatural precision. Winemakers who could taste a barrel and tell you not just what it needed, but what it would become. But the people who have taught me the most about science — real, practical, observable science — have been other cooks. Because cooking, understood correctly, is chemistry. It is physics. It is biology. It is, in the most literal sense, the transformation of matter.I fell in love with the science of cooking the way most cooks of my generation did — not through books or classrooms, but through observation and repetition. You make hollandaise sauce five hundred times, and you begin to understand, at a cellular level, what an emulsion is: fat and water forced into uneasy coexistence by the lecithin in egg yolk, held together by agitation and precise temperature. Too hot and the proteins seize, and you have a scrambled egg in butter. Too cool, and the emulsion breaks. The window of success is narrow, and the feedback is immediate. That is the best kind of science education I know.Simultaneously, heat is the foundational variable in cooking chemistry. It is also the most misunderstood. Most beginning cooks think of heat as simply a means of making things hot. But heat does something far more interesting: it transforms the molecular structure of food in ways that change texture, flavor, color, and nutritional profile. When you apply dry heat to the surface of a piece of meat or bread — through roasting, searing, or baking — you trigger the Maillard reaction: a complex set of chemical reactions between amino acids and reducing sugars that produces hundreds of new flavor compounds along with the characteristic brown crust we find irresistible. This reaction is responsible for the crust on a loaf of bread, the sear on a steak, and the golden exterior of a roasted chicken. It is one of the most important flavor-generating processes in all of cooking, and it happens within a precise temperature range. Water and its behavior are the second great lesson of kitchen chemistry. Water boils at 212°F at sea level — a fact so familiar it seems unremarkable, but its implications run through almost everything we cook. Braising works because liquid held just below the boil gently dissolves tough collagen in meat into silky gelatin over several hours — a process that would never happen at higher temperatures, which would instead seize the muscle fibers into toughness. Pasta cooking requires a rolling boil not to cook the pasta faster but to keep it in constant motion so it doesn't stick. Caramel requires driving all the water out of sugar before the chemical transformation begins — which is why you must resist adding liquid too early, and why patience at the stove is not a virtue but a technical requirement.such as Leavening — the science of making baked goods rise — is perhaps the most magical and most teachable aspect of cooking chemistry for young people. Yeast is a living organism that consumes sugars and exhales carbon dioxide gas, which gets trapped in gluten structures in dough, causing it to expand. Baking soda is a base that, when combined with an acidic ingredient — buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt — releases carbon dioxide through a simple acid-base reaction, producing the same rise without any living organisms. These are not just cooking techniques. They are chemistry lessons of genuine elegance and power. I have never met a child who was not fascinated by watching bread dough double in size overnight, or who didn't want to understand why.Full Content, Article, Recipes, and more!
Hello!The ancient Spartan society still has a grip in our culture. We use the words laconic, and Spartan to describe austere, frugal things, and people who don't use many words, just the right ones and the exact ones. The ancient Sparta was a very weird place and certainly a lot more cruel rather than heroic.It is time to see what their society truly was, how it functioned and what the warrior class do to survive.Of course we can't forget their infamous black broth soup, the dish that only -supposedly- Spartans loved! How was it made? What it consisted of, and was it really tasty?Join me to find the origin myths of Sparta, and dispel any myths that are still pervasive to this day.Read Plutarch's Live of Lycurgus here:https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Lycurgus*.htmlYou can buy the books discussed on the podcast here:https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/thedeliciouslegacypodcastMy recommendations for this week include:Eat Like an Ancient Greek PhilosopherBefore attending third-century dinner parties, readers consulted this “marvelous feast of words.”https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/eat-like-a-greek-philosopher-oldest-fish-recipeYucatán Peninsula Xunankab Bee Honeyhttps://www.fondazioneslowfood.com/en/slow-food-presidia/yucatan-peninsula-xunankab-bee-honey/north by sud- ouest charcuterie Northern curing, schooled in South-West France:https://www.northbysudouest.com/aboutMusic by Pavlos Kapralos.Love & GarumThomSupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Chapter 4 — Where Does Food Come From?I Once Spent a Week on a farm, and It Changed Everything I thought I Knew About Cooking.In the summer of 2001, at the insistence of a farmer friend who had grown tired of my asking him questions about produce over the phone, I spent a week working on his farm in the Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts. I was not a young man — I was in my early fifties, with four decades of professional cooking behind me. I had touched more food in my career than most people see in a lifetime. And yet that week humbled me more completely than any culinary experience I had ever had.I woke before dawn each morning to harvest vegetables in the blue-gray light before the heat came. I pulled carrots from the earth and felt how cold they were, how heavy, how alive. I picked tomatoes warmed by the afternoon sun and ate one standing in the field, juice running down my chin, and tasted something that bore almost no resemblance to the tomatoes I had been buying from a distributor for years. I dug potatoes, which are unlike any other vegetable to harvest — each plant yields a hidden cache, a buried treasure, and the act of uncovering them feels vaguely archaeological. By the end of the week, I understood something I had thought I already understood but clearly hadn't: the distance between a seed in the ground and a dish on a table is not just physical. It is transformative. It changes the food. And it changes the cook.The conversation about where food comes from has never been more urgent or more muddled than it is today. Children growing up in cities and suburbs often have no experiential understanding of how food is produced. They know that strawberries come in plastic clamshells and that chicken comes in boneless, skinless portions wrapped in plastic film. The farm, the field, the soil, the season — these things are as abstract to many modern children as medieval history. And yet they are not abstract at all. They are the foundation of everything we eat.The concept of seasonality is, to me, one of the most important and most neglected ideas in food education. We live in an era of global supply chains that deliver strawberries in December and butternut squash in June. While this represents a genuinely remarkable logistical achievement, it has come at a cost. When food is available year-round regardless of season, we lose the ability to taste it at its peak. A tomato grown in a hothouse in January and a tomato grown outdoors in August in New England are not the same food. The August tomato is sweeter, more complex, more nutritious, and more alive. The flavor difference is not subtle. It is dramatic. And nutrition tracks flavor — peak-season produce, harvested at full ripeness, contains more vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients than produce harvested early and ripened in transit. Seasonality also teaches something more fundamental: patience. In a world of instant gratification, of streaming, same-day delivery, and fast food available at any hour, there is something genuinely countercultural about waiting for asparagus to come back in April, about understanding that the best peaches will only be here for six weeks in August, and then they will be gone. This is not deprivation. It is anticipation. And food anticipated and consumed at its proper moment tastes incomparably better than food demanded and delivered on command.The connection between food and place is equally important. Different soils, different climates, and different microclimates produce different flavors. This is the concept the French call terroir — the particular character that geography imprints on what grows in it. Italian food is inseparable from Italian geography: the rich volcanic soil of Campania that makes San Marzano tomatoes extraordinary, the chalky hillside soils of Tuscany that give the wine its particular mineral character, the brackish coastal air of Liguria that infuses the basil grown there with its unique fragrance.
Chapter 3 — Food Detectives — Know What's in Your FoodThe Day I Read a Label and Couldn't Recognize Half the IngredientsI remember exactly where I was the first time I carefully read a processed food label. It was 1994. I was standing in a supermarket aisle in suburban Rhode Island, holding a jar of pasta sauce — the kind marketed directly at children, with a cartoon character on the front and the word 'healthy' printed in bright green letters. I read the ingredient list. It contained high-fructose corn syrup, three different kinds of modified starch, two artificial colorings, a preservative I could not pronounce, and somewhere around the fourteenth ingredient, actual tomatoes. I put the jar back on the shelf and stood there for a long moment, genuinely troubled.In thirty-five years of professional cooking at that point, I had made pasta sauce hundreds of times. The ingredients were: tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onion, basil, salt, and time. That was it. What I was holding was something that shared a name with pasta sauce but bore almost no relationship to it in terms of ingredients, process, or nutritional value. And it was being sold to families as a healthy choice for their children.That moment changed how I thought about my work. I had always been a chef who cared about ingredients. Every professional cook does — quality matters, freshness matters, sourcing matters. But from that day forward, I became genuinely obsessed with food literacy: the idea that people, especially children, deserve to understand exactly what they are eating and why it matters. A child who can read a food label — not just the calorie count, but the full ingredient list — is equipped with one of the most important life skills in the modern world.The processed food industry is extraordinarily good at what it does. I say this without rancor and without simplistic villainizing. These are companies staffed by intelligent, skilled people who have spent decades perfecting the science of making food that sells. The problem is that what sells and what nourishes are often very different things. The industry has learned that sugar, salt, and fat — in precise, engineered combinations — trigger pleasure responses in the brain that real, whole foods rarely match for sheer immediate intensity. They have learned that packaging language — 'natural,' 'wholesome,' 'nutritious,' 'made with real fruit' — creates positive associations regardless of what is actually inside. And they have learned that children are particularly susceptible to color, characters, and the language of fun.Sugar is the thing I talk about most when I work with young people on food literacy. Not because sugar is uniquely evil — the body needs glucose, and natural sugars in fruit come packaged with fiber, vitamins, and water that slow their absorption and make them nutritionally valuable. The problem is added sugar, hidden under dozens of different names on ingredient labels: high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, maltose, sucrose, cane juice, rice syrup, agave nectar, barley malt. When I show children a list of all the names sugar hides under, their eyes go wide. It becomes a detective game — and children, I have found in forty years of teaching, are natural detectives.Salt is the second lesson. Processed food contains extraordinary quantities of sodium — not because manufacturers are indifferent to health, but because salt is a powerful preservative and an equally powerful flavor enhancer. When food has been processed and much of its natural flavor stripped away, salt is the most efficient way to make it taste like something again. Teaching children to taste food critically — to recognize the metallic, aggressive quality of over-salting compared to the rounded, integrated salinity of well-seasoned fresh food — is a skill that serves them for a lifetime.
You Are What You Eat: My Fifty Years of Feeding People — and What I Learned About Food and the Human BodyI was seventeen years old the first time I stood at a professional stove. It was a small trattoria in Providence, Rhode Island — barely twelve tables, a kitchen the size of a large closet, and a chef named Marco who communicated almost entirely through grunts and hand gestures. I spoke Italian. He didn't speak much English. But food, I discovered very quickly, is its own language. And in the fifty years that followed, it became the language I would spend my life learning to speak fluently.In that half century — through restaurant kitchens, culinary schools, nutrition research, and thousands of conversations with doctors, farmers, scientists, and home cooks — the single most important thing I came to understand is also the simplest: what you put into your body shapes everything about who you are, how you feel, how you think, and how you grow. The old saying is not a cliché. It is a biological fact. You are, quite literally, what you eat.When I was young, nobody talked about nutrition in the way we do now. In the kitchens where I trained, food was about pleasure, tradition, and craft. We cooked from instinct and from memory. My grandmother never read a nutrition label in her life, and yet she fed her family with an instinctive wisdom that modern science has spent decades trying to catch up with. She served vegetables every single meal. She used olive oil without guilt. She cooked dried beans twice a week and called it Tuesday. She didn't know the words 'antioxidant' or 'omega-3,' but she understood, in a deep and ancient way, that certain foods made people strong and other foods made them weak.It wasn't until I began studying nutrition seriously in my thirties — sitting in lectures and reading research while running a restaurant during the day — that I understood the machinery behind what my grandmother already knew by feel. Food is not just fuel. It is information. Every bite you take sends a message to your cells, your hormones, your immune system, and your brain. Protein doesn't just fill you up — it builds and repairs the muscle fibers that let you run, climb, lift, and grow. Carbohydrates aren't the enemy; complex carbohydrates from whole grains and vegetables are the primary energy source for your brain, which consumes more energy than any other organ in your body. Fats from sources like olive oil, avocado, and nuts support brain development and help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — that keep your vision sharp, your bones strong, and your immune system alert.I have watched, across fifty years of cooking for people, what a difference real food makes. I have seen children in my cooking classes transform their concentration and energy within weeks of changing what they eat for breakfast. I have seen athletes reach new levels of performance simply by understanding that recovery begins on the plate. I have seen elderly people in our neighborhood food programs find new vitality when we started serving them meals built around whole ingredients rather than processed convenience food.One of my greatest frustrations as a chef and as someone who cares deeply about nutrition is how complicated we have made something that is fundamentally simple. The food industry has spent billions of dollars convincing people — and especially children — that nutrition is confusing, that you need special products, special powders, special bars to be healthy. It isn't true. The most nutritious diet in the world is also among the most straightforward: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, good fats, quality proteins, and water. Foods that grew from the earth, swam in the sea, or lived on a farm. Foods your great-grandmother would recognize.When I walk through a kitchen with young people, I always tell them: Respect what food does for you.

I found this podcast about 5 years ago and have been a devoted listener ever since. Great interviews with famous and ordinary runners along with running advice and discussions that will motivate you to get out there and be the best runner you can be. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Running tips and inspiration at its best I've followed for a while and pop in and out when I see a topic I'm especially in need of help or need to revisit some expert tips from Claire. Super helpful information. Claire is so knowledgeable and presents everything in such a user friendly way, whether you are a newbie runner or looking for some updated perspective on the world of running! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very informative! I love this podcast! I started listening when I was new to running (been eating a plant based diet for much longer than I've been running) and I always find it very interesting! Coach Claire has a very good voice and precise way of speaking and conveying information! I just wish the episodes were longer so they didn't stop halfway through my runs!

We talk through what Blue Zones are and why the world's longest-lived people tend to eat well without calling it a diet. We unpack simple eating patterns that reduce cravings and decision fatigue, then turn them into small challenges you can try this week. • what Blue Zones are and what makes them different • why copying a “perfect” diet fails without the right environment • what Blue Zones meals tend to include, mostly plants and beans plus occasional fish or meat • stopping at 80% full rather than eating past 100% • predictable meal rhythm, less snacking, simpler repeated meals • eating socially and slowing down without distractions • environment over willpower, limiting junk food cues and making home cooking easier • marketing triggers, food as reward, and decision fatigue from too many choices • small experiments, repeat meals, one distraction-free meal, one 80% meal Look forward to seeing you right here next time on Healthy Huddle. https://aarondegler.com/

Dr. Bill Schindler joins Airey Bros Radio (ABR 438) for a deep-dive conversation that connects Jersey Shore wrestling culture to ancestral nutrition, anthropology, and real-world health.Bill is Jersey Shore bred — a Red Bank Regional wrestler who went on to compete at Ohio State and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) — before becoming a leading voice in ancestral food systems. He's the author of Eat Like a Human, founder of The Modern Stone Age Kitchen, and a researcher/educator helping families, athletes, and coaches rethink what “healthy eating” actually means.We talk wrestling weight cuts, the mental side of food, why modern diets wreck digestion, and Bill's core idea: humans aren't omnivores by biology — we're omnivores by technology (fire, fermentation, traditional preparation, and bioavailability). Bill also shares practical takeaways for wrestlers, endurance athletes, parents, and coaches, including why he'd consider keto for wrestling and how to start small with changes that compound.In this episode:Jersey Shore wrestling roots (Red Bank Regional, Ohio State, TCNJ)Weight cuts, food fear, binge cycles, and athlete nutrition mistakes“Eat Like a Human” fundamentals: fermentation, bioavailability, real foodSimple family changes that actually last (start with the foods you eat most)Keto, carnivore, and why context + culture matter in nutritionInsects, organ meats, and pushing comfort zones the smart wayWine additives, traditional fermentation, and “food as a system”

Many women hit midlife and feel something they cannot name. They are still doing the right things, eating well, exercising consistently, showing up for everyone, yet life suddenly feels harder and less familiar. Age Like a Girl gives language to this experience and explains why it is not a failure, but a shift happening beneath the surface.This is not a motivation problem.This is not a discipline issue.And it is not “all in your head."In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with New York Times bestselling author and leading voice in women's health Dr. Mindy Pelz, host of the hit podcast The Resetter Podcast, to explore the core message behind Age Like a Girl: menopause is not a decline, it is a biologically wired reinvention.Instead of treating perimenopause and menopause as a crisis to manage, Dr. Mindy reframes the transition as a neurochemical and cognitive remodel designed to make women more focused, emotionally resilient, and aligned with who they truly are. She breaks down why modern life often clashes with this primal design, and why brain fog, mood shifts, and emotional intensity are not random symptoms, but signals that the brain is asking for a new way of living.This episode explores why women can feel anxious, disconnected, or unlike themselves even when they are “doing everything right,” and how metabolism, stress chemistry, and neurotransmitters shape mood, clarity, and identity. Dr. Taz and Dr. Mindy discuss why many women initiate big life and relationship changes after 40, why community and connection become essential, and why reinvention is not a midlife crisis, but biology.From perimenopause into postmenopause, this conversation reframes aging as an awakening. Not the end of youth, but the return of clarity, boundaries, and self-trust. If you have ever felt dismissed, confused, or afraid that something is wrong with you, this episode offers a validating and hopeful roadmap forward.Dr. Taz and Dr. Mindy Pelz discuss: • The core message of Age Like a Girl and why it reframes menopause • Why the female brain is biologically wired for reinvention after 40 • Brain fog and mood shifts as signals of a cognitive remodel • How modern life clashes with primal biology • Why women often make major life decisions in midlife • The role of neurotransmitters in clarity, calm, and confidence • Why community and deep connection matter more than ever • How to reclaim vitality without another exhausting checklistAbout Dr. Mindy PelzDr. Mindy Pelz is a New York Times bestselling author, visionary educator, and trailblazer in the field of women's health and hormone science. With over two decades of experience, she's built a global movement to help women understand the power of their bodies at every stage of life. Her bestselling books, including Fast Like a Girl, The Menopause Reset, and Eat Like a Girl, have helped millions of women use fasting, nutrition, and lifestyle shifts to balance hormones, boost energy, and take back control of their health. Her newest release book, Age Like a Girl, redefines what it means to grow older as a woman.Rooted in the latest science and rich in personal story, the book challenges outdated narratives about menopause and aging offering instead a roadmap for awakening. Dr. Mindy shows women how to use the neurochemical shifts of midlife as a launchpad for purpose, leadership, and bold reinvention. Dr. Mindy's Resetter Podcast consistently ranks among Apple's top U.S. science shows, with guests ranging from LeAnn Rimes and Rachel Hollis to Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. Her YouTube channel has surpassed 110 million views, and her teachings have reached hundreds of thousands through workshops, online programs, and live events.Order the book: Age Like a Girl Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Mindy PelzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz/Website: https://drmindypelz.com/ Podcast: The Resetter PodcastFollow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

In this episode of Shift with CJ, I sit down with Dr. Ebenezer Abel Paul, founder of Verve Wellness Dubai, to break down one of the biggest questions in health and longevity: If our genes are fixed, why are we all so different—and how much control do we really have?We take genetics out of the abstract and bring it down to first principles. Why some people tolerate carbs better. Why others struggle with dairy, stress, or weight. Why environment, culture, and modern city life (especially Dubai) can either switch on disease or unlock performance.Dr. Ebenezer explains genetics in a practical way: Your genotype is your blueprint. It doesn't change. Your phenotype—how those genes express—is shaped by lifestyle, food, sleep, stress, environment, and decisions made daily.We dive into why “it runs in my family” is often a misunderstanding of lifestyle patterns rather than destiny, using examples like type 2 diabetes, lactose intolerance, obesity risk, and stress sensitivity. The episode also explores how modern stress, poor sleep, ultra-processed food, eating out culture, microplastics, EMFs, and vitamin deficiencies silently alter gene expression.We discuss the Well Gene Book as an entry point into personalized medicine—not as a diagnosis tool, but as a lifelong blueprint to make better decisions. Dr. Ebenezer explains why combining genetics with blood work, gut health, proteomics, and lifestyle data creates true precision health—and why random supplements, generic diets, or self-diagnosing with AI can backfire.The future, according to Dr. Ebenezer, is not shortcuts—but data harmonization: genetics + lifestyle + environment + AI-guided decision-making, all personalized to the individual.Key TakeawaysGenetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.Most “genetic diseases” are actually lifestyle-driven expressions.Modern city life creates a mismatch between biology and environment.Food intolerances often show up as fatigue, brain fog, skin issues—not just gut symptoms.Personalized health beats generic diets, workouts, and supplements every time.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodayStop copying diets — eat based on how you respond, not influencers.Question symptoms like bloating, fatigue, brain fog—they're signals, not normal.Fix sleep first — poor sleep amplifies stress genes and inflammation.Reduce eating out — unknown oils, reheated food, and plastics matter.Use data wisely — genetics guide decisions, blood work confirms reality.Knowledge doesn't remove responsibility—it gives you control.
When your hormones start shifting in midlife, it can feel like you're losing your mind – and no one prepared you for it. Dr. Mindy Pelz knows this spiral all too well. In this raw and deeply validating conversion, she shares what really happens to a woman's brain, body, and identity during perimenopause – and why saying "I'm not okay" might be the most healing step you can take. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a New York Times bestselling author and a leading voice in women's health, hormones, and aging. Her books, including Eat Like a Girl, Fast Like a Girl, and her new book: Age Like a Girl empower women to work with their biology, not against it. Through her top-ranked podcast, The Resetter Podcast, and YouTube channel with 110M+ views, Dr. Mindy is changing the menopause conversation, helping women unlock energy, brain clarity, and purpose in their second half of life.

Most women runners think RED-S is something that happens to “other athletes.” In reality? It's one of the most common reasons female runners struggle with fatigue, plateaus, nagging injuries, missing periods, and feeling like their training just… isn't working. In today's episode, I'm breaking down what RED-S actually is, why it doesn't start with weight loss or appearance, and how it quietly impacts your hormones, metabolism, recovery, bone health, and performance. You'll learn: Why RED-S is an energy availability issue, not a diet issue The surprising symptoms runners mistake as “normal” How missing or irregular periods act as a giant red flag Where women unintentionally create RED-S in their training The performance transformation that happens when you finally fuel enough If you've been hitting your miles but not seeing the progress you expect, this episode is a must-listen.

Today I'm wrapping up my 6-part series, The Missing Piece, with a final episode on one of the most common issues women face when dieting that keeps them stuck. If you can lose a few pounds but gain them right back every week, there's a good chance you're caught in the extremes of dieting. Eating "good" and "clean" during the week often leads to intense cravings once the weekend hits, which can trigger overeating and overindulging. In today's episode, I'm breaking down this exhausting cycle and exactly how to overcome it. I'm sharing what true consistency really looks like, why being overly strict with your diet might be working against you, and what to do instead to smooth out your weekly calorie intake so you can finally stop starting over every Monday. By the end of today's show, you'll know how to break free from the all-or-nothing dieting cycle by building in intentional flexibility — so your results actually stick. Doors are open! Come join my new program, Slim Down, Eat Up and find out how eating more can finally help you weigh less.

Today I'm bringing you episode 2 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, and we're talking about one of the biggest "missing pieces" my clients are secretly struggling with that holds them back from fat loss which is related to their protein intake. When it comes to protein, there's usually no in between. You either think you have to eat like a body builder because of social media content you see online, or you barely eat sufficient protein at meals and you're drastically underconsuming this important nutrient for fat loss. Either way, protein is important and the goal is not to eat too much or too little – but instead the right amount. I'm breaking down why not eating enough protein can hold you back, why knowing protein is important isn't enough and how understanding your unique requirements is the first step towards successful fat loss and what actually happens to your body (and appetite) when you miss that 20–30g sweet spot at each meal. Plus, I'll share my go-to strategies for building satisfying, high protein meals without living on protein shakes and cottage cheese, or thinking you need to be a bodybuilder.
