In this science-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how significant weight loss transforms fat tissue at a cellular level, creating metabolic changes that make results more sustainable. They explain how losing 16-20% of body weight through fasting remodels adipose tissue—reducing inflammatory leptin levels by 40% while increasing beneficial adiponectin—which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hunger even during extended periods without food. The hosts share why many people struggle to maintain their new eating patterns long-term despite initial success, and provide practical strategies for optimizing your lifestyle beyond the honeymoon phase. They emphasize how success comes from transitioning from seeing time-restricted eating as a temporary weight loss tool to adopting it as part of your identity, developing consistent schedules that become automatic rather than requiring constant willpower. This episode offers a comprehensive roadmap for optimizing both biological and psychological aspects of your weight loss journey, helping listeners move from short-term results to sustainable lifestyle change.

Environmental toxins cause epigenetic changes that make fat cells malfunction, leading to obesity that is difficult to reverse through diet alone.KISMETThe average newborn baby has over 200 toxic chemicals in their placental blood before they take their first breath, and laboratory animals on strictly controlled diets are getting fatter despite no changes to their food intake.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this compelling episode, pulmonologist Dr. Stewart Lonky shares groundbreaking insights about why traditional approaches to weight loss often fail. Drawing from his book "Outsmarting Obesity," he explains how environmental toxins cause fat cells to malfunction, making weight management increasingly difficult. Dr. Lonky reveals that fat cells are actually endocrine organs that become dysfunctional when they grow too large, leading to reduced oxygen absorption and improper hormone signaling. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when he discusses how common household items like non-stick cookware, air fresheners, and even stain-resistant fabrics contribute to obesity through chemicals called obesogens. These substances trigger epigenetic changes that can affect weight regulation for multiple generations. Dr. Lonky offers practical solutions through his AIPE protocol (Accept, Identify, Prevent, Eliminate) and explains how specific compounds like zeolites can help remove toxic substances from the body.NOTABLE QUOTE"We have 85,000 chemicals that are commercially available in the United States...

Drs. Karl and Spencer discuss the claim that GLP-1 meds cause more fat cells.Learn about if and how GLP-1 meds increase fat cells and what that means along with other claims about these medicine.Join Dr. Spencer's online clinic that specializes in GLP-1 medicines

It seems like almost everyone is taking GLP-1 medications these days to lose weight. Now a couple years after they've been used for this purpose, what do we know? How do we interpret all the headlines about them? Despite how the news makes it sound and what your doctor may have told you, you have options! Tune in to understand more about GLP-1 medications, what Jenn does as a health coach for her clients who are taking them, and how you can naturally support your own GLP-1, empowering you with knowledge and control over your health.Welcome to Salad with a Side of Fries! In today's episode, Jenn dives into the impact of GLP-1 medications on metabolic health. She begins by explaining what GLP-1 is and addresses some of the controversy surrounding celebrities who don't admit to using it for their weight loss. Jenn also uncovers how the secondary benefits of GLP-1 often mislead the public and explores its short term side effects and potential long lasting impacts. She discusses the concept of fat cells having memory, what people can do to support true metabolic health while taking these meds, and shares practical tips for naturally supporting your body's own GLP-1 for long term metabolic health. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Jenn talks about GLP-1 meds, metabolic health and weight loss(05:07) Defining GLP-1 and how it works in the body(12:05) How the public is misled by the secondary benefits of taking the medication and discussion of side effects(21:08) Being cautious and a discussion of the gut brain connection and malnutrition(26:50) Fat cells have memory, BMI as a metric, and an example of how the Healthy Vibe Tribe brought down blood sugar 70 points for a client(35:10) How to naturally support your GLP-1 and metabolic health(43:53) What about insulinKEY TAKEAWAYS: GLP-1 medications are more openly discussed with more people openly admitting they're taking them. This shift contrasts with the early days when celebrities falsely claimed weight loss was solely due to light exercise, misleading the public and creating unrealistic expectations for weight loss.Jenn criticizes the Super Bowl ad from Hers, which she believes "weaponized diet culture" to promote its version of a GLP-1 medication. She expresses frustration with how marketing continues to exploit societal insecurities around weight, comparing it to the more positive and empowering approaches taken by brands like Dove.While GLP-1 medications can be life-transforming in the short term—reducing weight and alleviating joint pain—there are concerns about their long-term impact. Issues like bone density loss, muscle deterioration, and potential joint problems down the line should be considered. This highlights the importance of being proactive and responsible for your long-term healthWhile taking the medications may seem like the “easy button,” there are other considerations to ensure true health, like the nutrition you provide your body when you do eat and the role supplementation can play. There are nutrition and supplementation choices that can support the body's own GLP-1 production.QUOTES: (04:55) “GLP stands for Glucagon Like Peptide. Glucagon Like Peptide 1 comes from the large bowel, or the colon. It stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, supporting blood sugar regulation.” Jenn Trepeck(17:21) “Protein and fiber at every meal makes removing fat, no big deal.” Jenn Trepeck(34:54) “Sometimes while we think this is the easy button, it requires an even more significant commitment to protein, fiber, quality fat, strength training, and a multivitamin to get your micronutrients.” Jenn Trepeck.(40:23) “When we start to understand low glycemic impact nutrition, we're focusing on nutrient dense foods and less processed foods.” Jenn Trepeck(42:35) “ Exercise, sleep, water, food.

Ferdinand von Meyenn) BMI Is BSNutrition Nugget: ButterThe Ultimate BiohackTop 5 Tips for Digesting Nutrition News

Do you struggle to lose weight and keep it off? It turns out, fat cells actually have a memory that can keep weight off after rapid weight loss!In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck sits down with Professor Dr. Ferdinand von Meyenn, assistant professor at the Institute of Food, Nutrition, and Health at ETH Zurich, to explore his study with the intriguing finding that fat cells encode a memory which influences the ability to maintain weight loss and therefore impacts metabolic health. They delve into his groundbreaking research on bariatric patients and mice, uncovering how fat cells retain memory and can continue to impact the body long after weight loss. Dr. von Meyenn breaks down the role of epigenetics, why GLP-1 medications don't provide long-term effects, and the importance of proper nutrition and lifestyle when losing weight and keeping it off. They also discuss the hip-to-waist ratio versus BMI and why prevention is the most powerful tool for long-term well-being. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (05:27) Ferdinand's research on fat cell memory and metabolic health(09:21) Research findings on bariatric patients and experiments on mice(17:28) Ferdinand defines epigenetics and GLP's don't give long-lasting effects(26:06) Losing weight too quickly and the set point concept(35:00) Weight loss is good, but proper nutrition is critical and discussion of adiponectin(38:27) Excess energy and body fat, the hip to waist ratio, and being overweight, and the long-term consequencesKEY TAKEAWAYS: Even after significant weight loss, an individuals' fat cells retain molecular changes (altered RNA and epigenetic markers) associated with their previous obese state. These long-lasting molecular markers in the fat cells predispose the body to regain weight as it responds more readily to an obesogenic environment.Weight loss significantly improves health, whether in humans or mice. However, fat cells have a form of memory, meaning that even after weight loss, some molecular changes persist. While these changes do not necessarily drive disease, they highlight the importance of sustained weight management strategies.Rapid weight loss, especially with methods like GLP-1 medications, can lead to muscle loss, negatively impacting metabolism and overall health. Since muscles play a key role in energy expenditure and physical stability (especially with aging), preserving muscle mass during weight loss is crucial for long-term success and well-being.QUOTES:         (06:59) “Many times people get bariatric surgery, and despite that being a very significant intervention that restricts how much food you take in, people lose weight for a while, and yet some recover some of that body weight.” Ferdinand von Meyenn(13:46) “The cell predisposes these people to regain weight because their cells are signaling for the obesogenic environment that they became used to.” Jenn Trepeck(24:53) “I think this is connected to the set point idea that people have heard of how we go about ‘losing the weight'. That might play into this too.” Jenn Trepeck.(26:08) “If weight loss is too quick, it is also loss of protein mass, basically of muscle mass and that is really problematic.” Ferdinand von Meyenn(32:43) “If we build lean muscle mass over time, removing fat over time, giving the body time to adapt to this metabolically healthier environment, there's the possibility of easier maintenance.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Minnesota Starvation ExperimentGUEST RESOURCESLaboratory of Nutrition and Metabolic Epigenetics - WebsitevonMeyenn BlueSky - Social MediavonMeyenn Lab BlueSky - Social MediaMeyenn lab -  XFerdinand - XFerdinand von Meyenn - LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Ferdinand von Meyenn has been Assistant Professor of the Institute of Food Nutrition and Health at the ETH Zurich since January 2019.Ferdinand studied Biochemistry at the TU Müchnen, Germany, before moving to ETH Zürich for his PhD to study metabolism and type-2 diabetes.

Today we're diving into an interesting topic that's been getting a lot of attention lately—linoleic acid from seed oils, and how it can influence fat cells, metabolism, and ultimately, our weight. Today, we're not diving into a particular peptide. Instead, let's shine the spotlight on linoleic acid, a PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid). Understanding how PUFA's work is crucial for optimizing our health journey, especially when we're incorporating peptide therapy, as these fatty acids play key roles in inflammation, impacting our fat cells, metabolism, and cell structure.  Stick around as I try to break it all down. How do fat cells work in the body? First, let's take a step back and understand how fat cells work in the body. Our fat cells, also known as adipocytes, play an important role in regulating our energy balance. They store fat to be used as energy later, and they release hormones that help manage our hunger, metabolism, and inflammation. When we consume food, particularly excess calories, our bodies store this energy in fat cells. These cells don't just sit around passively; they grow, divide, and release various substances that help maintain homeostasis—or balance—within the body. But what happens when these fat cells are exposed to certain fats, like linoleic acid? What is linoleic acid? Linoleic acid is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). It's essential for our bodies, meaning we need to consume it through food, because our bodies can't produce it on their own. However, in recent years, there's been growing concern about the overconsumption of linoleic acid, especially from processed foods containing seed oils. You might be asking, "Where do we find this linoleic acid?" Great question! Seed oils are extracted from the seeds of plants and are often used in processed foods due to their ability to stay stable at high cooking temperatures. They are also found in salad dressings and fried foods. Additionally, linoleic acid is found in nuts and seeds, though the concentration is much lower than in seed oils. Some of the most common seed oils include: Canola oil (from the seeds of the rapeseed plant) Sunflower oil (from sunflower seeds) Safflower oil (from the safflower plant) Soybean oil (from soybeans) Corn oil (from corn) Grapeseed oil (from grape seeds) Cottonseed oil (from cotton seeds) These oils are highly refined and contain high levels of linoleic acid, which, as we discussed, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid. While they're widely used in cooking, baking, and processed foods, the problem arises when these oils are consumed in excess, especially in comparison to omega-3 fats like those found in fish and flaxseeds. So what does all this linoleic acid do to our fat cells, particularly in large amounts?  Research has shown that excessive consumption of linoleic acid can have several notable effects on fat cells. 1. Fat Cell Hypertrophy Fat cell hypertrophy refers to the increase in the size of fat cells. When fat cells become swollen with fat, they can't function as effectively. In fact, linoleic acid has been shown to promote fat cell enlargement. In other words, when you consume too much of it, your fat cells may grow larger than they should, potentially leading to unhealthy weight gain and obesity over time. But there's more. As fat cells get larger, they also produce more of the hormones and signals that regulate your metabolism. This can cause an imbalance in your body's overall fat storage and energy regulation, leading to potential metabolic issues. 2. Impact on Fat Cell Hormones Fat cells secrete important hormones such as leptin, which regulates hunger and energy balance. However, excessive linoleic acid can alter this hormone regulation. When fat cells get too large and full of linoleic acid, they may lead to a decrease in leptin sensitivity, which can confuse the brain's hunger signals, potentially causing overeating or poor appetite control. This, in turn, may hinder your body's ability to regulate weight. And it doesn't stop there. Linoleic acid also affects adiponectin, another important hormone produced by fat cells that helps with fat breakdown and insulin sensitivity. Higher levels of linoleic acid have been linked to lower levels of adiponectin, which can result in poorer fat metabolism and higher risk for insulin resistance—a key factor in obesity and Type 2 diabetes. 3. Impacts fat cell division Now, let's talk about fat cell division—also known as adipogenesis. When the body does not have an excess of energy, fat cells primarily store energy in the form of fat (triglycerides) for future use. They remain relatively stable in size, and their role is to maintain energy balance by releasing stored fat when the body needs energy, such as during fasting or exercise. In contrast, when the body has excess energy, typically from overeating, fat cells take on a more active role by expanding in size (hypertrophy) to store the surplus calories. Once existing fat cells reach their storage limit, the body may also create new fat cells (adipogenesis) to accommodate the extra energy, contributing to weight gain. Studies suggest that excessive linoleic acid may interfere with fat cell division. This means the body could end up with fewer, but larger, fat cells. These large fat cells are not only inefficient at storing fat but are also linked to inflammation and metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. How can I reduce my linoleic acid intake? Now, if you're worried about how much linoleic acid you might be consuming, you're not alone. In the modern Western diet, a typical person gets a significant amount of linoleic acid from seed oils (as we mentioned earlier) that are mainly found in processed foods. While these oils aren't inherently bad in moderation, the key, is balance. The body needs both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a certain ratio, but many people today are consuming far more omega-6 than omega-3s, which can skew this balance and potentially lead to inflammation and metabolic issues. So, what can we do about it? Well, the first step is to be mindful of the oils you're using. Olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil are all great alternatives to seed oils, as they contain healthy fats that are less likely to promote fat cell enlargement or disrupt hormone function. And of course, whole, nutrient-dense foods—like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and fatty fish—can help keep your body in balance, supporting healthy fat cells, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.Learn more about becoming an Insider on our website: https://www.benbikman.comDuring The Metabolic Classroom lecture this week, Dr. Bikman dives into the intricate relationship between salt- and water-regulating hormones and metabolic health.Starting with a discussion of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), he explains how hormones like angiotensin II, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are not only critical for regulating blood pressure but also significantly impact insulin sensitivity and fat cell dynamics. Angiotensin II promotes insulin resistance by increasing ceramide production, which blocks insulin signaling, while also enlarging fat cells and inhibiting their breakdown. Similarly, aldosterone exacerbates insulin resistance by enhancing ceramide levels and promotes both the growth and multiplication of fat cells. ADH complements these effects, particularly by inhibiting fat breakdown through its action on specific receptors.Ben emphasizes the counterintuitive finding that salt restriction, often prescribed to manage hypertension, can worsen insulin resistance, particularly in individuals with metabolic vulnerabilities. Studies highlight that reducing salt intake leads to increased fasting insulin levels, impaired glucose metabolism, and unfavorable lipid changes, such as reduced HDL cholesterol. Additionally, he warns that dehydration, much like salt restriction, activates these same hormonal pathways, compounding their metabolic effects.Dr. Bikman concludes with a reminder that interventions aimed at improving blood pressure should consider their broader metabolic implications, particularly for individuals predisposed to insulin resistance.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references referred to in this episode, we invite you to become a Ben Bikman Insider subscriber.

Send us a textRecent research published in the journal Nature suggests that past obesity might leave a lasting impression at the cellular level, potentially increasing the risk of future obesity. The study found that individuals who had lost significant weight continued to display genetic expressions associated with obesity, such as higher inflammation markers and reduced metabolic function. These epigenetic changes hint at a lingering memory in fat cells, which could contribute to easier weight gain and heightened disease risk, even after weight loss.In real-world scenarios, many factors can contribute to weight regain beyond diet and exercise, such as stress, sleep patterns, and environmental exposures. While the study does not establish a direct cause, it highlights the complexity of weight management and the potential influence of past obesity on present health. This underscores the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyle choices to mitigate the effects of epigenetic memory in fat cells.Although it's unclear how long these epigenetic changes persist, current diet and lifestyle choices remain the most critical factors influencing health. Researchers are keen to explore whether these epigenetic modifications might affect other areas, like appetite regulation and metabolic hormones. Overall, embracing a holistic approach to health, considering diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors, remains essential for long-term well-being.STUDY: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08165-7Ready to address the cause of your health challenges with a long term, natural solution?

Listen to 89 Future Now  Welcome to our Thanksgiving week podcast.  We are on the road to Santa Fe to visit family, but at the last minute we were able to create this week’s offerings.  Exciting times ahead in exploring Saturn’s moon Titan with a car sized rotocopter, and back on Earth a new drone based on a raptor is flying! Cybertrucks have recalled 6 times now, but this doesn’t seem to phase buyers..Why not? Well..we tell you the surprising answer!   And for the stress of the holidays, don’t forget the Cocoa, which has many benefits, including stress reduction.  But beware, fat cells have memory, especially after a diet, and tend to want to regain their happy fat status!  And nostalgically, the classic SciFi film, ‘Forbidden Planet,’ is finally being remade with modern special fx, etc. Oh boy, the ancient ones known as the Krell are rising once again!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Have you ever tried different ways to get rid of belly fat? Have you ever tried different ways to suppress your appetite? Today, Jay welcomes women's health expert, bestselling author, and podcast host Dr. Mindy Pelz to discuss how women can optimize their health, particularly through fasting, hormones, and metabolic health. Dr. Pelz explains the biological differences between men and women and emphasizes the importance of understanding the female body's rhythms and cycles for maintaining health and hormonal balance. Dr. Pelz begins by discussing common fasting mistakes, highlighting how doing the same fast daily can slow down metabolism. She introduces the concept of "feast-famine cycling," stressing the need for variety in fasting durations and windows, particularly for women. According to her, fasting must be adapted to the individual's lifestyle and, for women, their menstrual cycle. She also addresses Jay's personal approach to fasting and offers tailored advice for him, including when to eat before and after workouts. The conversation then turns to the topic of belly fat and how stress and toxins contribute to weight gain, particularly around the belly area. Dr. Pelz explains that excess cortisol, which is heightened by stress, leads to belly fat, and she provides practical tips to manage cortisol levels, including movement, time in nature, and spending time with positive people. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Start Fasting Gradually How to Manage Stress with Movement How to Reduce Belly Fat Naturally How to Customize Your Eating Schedule How to Stabilize Blood Sugar with Timing How to Stay Full Longer with Healthy Fats How to Lose Weight with Fasting Cycles How to Align Fasting with Your Menstrual Cycle The message is clear: everyone has the ability to transform their well-being by taking small, intentional steps toward a healthier lifestyle.

Dietary and lifestyle recommendations for reducing inflammation and improving overall health are provided by multiple speakers. The potential benefits of specific supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins C and E, and green tea extract are discussed. The speakers advocate for a more holistic, interconnected approach to medicine that addresses root causes rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Layne Norton, Ph.D., one of the world's top experts in nutrition and training for physical fitness. We discuss how to evaluate scientific evidence and the validity of different practices aimed at achieving fat loss, muscle strength and hypertrophy, microbiome health, vitality, and longevity. We explore many hotly debated topics, including fasting, seed oils, saturated fats, sugar, red meat, artificial/low-calorie sweeteners, and GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Ozempic). Additionally, we delve into the timing of protein and carbohydrate intake relative to fasting and exercise, fat loss and sleep, and the benefits of dietary protein and fiber on overall health. We also discuss how to accelerate hypertrophy and fat loss, improve strength, whether we need to train to “failure,” how to enhance exercise recovery, and how to manage pain. We cover training before versus after age 50, whether metabolism changes with age, and the connection between muscle health and longevity. We also address why certain behaviors and supplements might work for some people but not others. Listeners to this episode will benefit greatly from Layne's science-based expertise on a wide range of topics, including health, nutrition, and fitness.

In this conversation, Dr. Agnes discusses the link between inflammation and weight gain during menopause. She explains that weight gain in menopause is not solely hormonally modulated, but also influenced by factors such as chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, dysbiosis, and changes in the gut microbiome. Weight gain during menopause reveals underlying issues and inflammation so Dr. Agnes emphasizes the importance of addressing all these factors simultaneously to achieve weight loss. She also highlights the role of cortisol and histamine in weight gain and the impact of ageing on fat cells and mitochondrial function.  Key Takeaways Weight gain during menopause is influenced by factors such as chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, dysbiosis, and changes in the gut microbiome. Addressing all these factors simultaneously is crucial for achieving weight loss during menopause. Cortisol and histamine play a role in weight gain, and their levels are affected by hormonal changes and inflammation. Aging affects fat cells and mitochondrial function, making weight loss more challenging. Self-advocacy for health is important, and functional testing can provide valuable insights. Addressing the foundations of health, such as diet, exercise, stress management, and hydration, is crucial for overall well-being. Supplements should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Probiotics and prebiotics can support gut health, but individual tolerance and needs may vary. Prescribed medications, such as metformin, should be used with close monitoring and guidance from a healthcare professional.

"I think fat is the future. It's the largest source of adult stem cells in the body, and it's the lowest hanging fruit."Out of all the topics we've covered as we approach our 100th episode of The Technology of Beauty, regenerative aesthetics might be the most exciting of them all. Just imagine telling a patient, "We can remove excess fat from your thighs and use it to make you look younger and healthier."Once the stuff of dreams, regenerative aesthetics may soon become a scientific fact. And according to Dr. Derek Banyard, CEO of Sayenza Biosciences, it could be here in a meaningful way as early as Q1 2025.The power of regenerative medicine lies in using the patient's own cells for autologous, personalized healing. Fat, while an abundant source of stem cells, must first undergo time-consuming processing, making it clinically inefficient for regenerative purposes.That's where Sayenza enters in. The company has developed an automated device that they claim will allow practitioners to process fat in under 15 minutes — creating a potent, ready-to-use therapeutic in a fraction of the time previously required. Proposed aesthetic use cases include hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and post-operative wound healing, in addition to a wide range of more general medical applications.Tune in for a forecasted view of what the future holds for Sayenza, and regenerative aesthetics at large, on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?

Fat cells, a necessary part of the body, are a growing area of research for scientists as a concerning rise in metabolic illnesses has shifted the field's focus to the biology and chemistry of fat. University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science professor, Dennis Discher, is one scientist looking into how fat cells work. Dennis's research led to a groundbreaking study that proves fat cells are more than just a number on the scale – his team found fat-filled lipid droplets hold a surprising capability to indent and puncture a cell's nucleus, where DNA is held. The finding is alarming considering a ruptured nucleus can lead to elevated DNA damage, a characteristic of many diseases, including cancer. - The solutions and drug treatments that may prevent nuclear damage by fat droplets- How this research has aided in understanding aging and related conditions where the cell cycle is suppressed- How the research will continue through the study of immune cell functions, including possible anti-cancer functions.

Dr. Bikman is an expert in the intricate topic of fat metabolism, specifically exploring how fat cells transform from reproductive to menopausal years and the metabolic implications of this transition. This conversation also covers insulin resistance and sensitivity throughout the menstrual cycle, addressing female-specific disorders, optimal protein sources, and the nuanced mechanisms of different types of fat.With a deliberate focus on empowering women to embrace a positive perspective on fat, the episode provides valuable insights for those in both reproductive and menopausal stages, offering a deep dive into the metabolic consequences faced by women in these phases of life.

Show Notes: Researchers discover new way fat cells talk directly with the brain | New Atlas (01:36) Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute have discovered a novel communication pathway between fat cells and the brain. Brain doesn't regulate fat burning by just slowly responding to hormonal signals in the blood. (traditional view) But can directly send messages to fat tissue and influence metabolic processes. The researchers use 2 new ways of looking at the fat tissue: 1.  HYBRiD - This method renders fat tissue transparent, allowing researchers a unique window into the paths of neurons.  2. ROOT, and it lets the researchers study exactly how certain neurons localized in fat tissue communicate with other parts of the body. The big finding from the study was the discovery of sensory neurons that branch out from the spine into fat tissue.  Directly communicate with a part of the brain called the dorsal root ganglia. Co-senior author Li Ye, stated on this finding: “The discovery of these neurons suggests for the first time that your brain is actively surveying your fat, rather than just passively receiving messages about it … The implications of this finding are profound.” Researchers found by blocking communication from these sensory neurons the sympathetic nervous system kicked into gear and began converting the white fat cells into brown fat.  Stepping up the body's fat-burning processes.  All this finding can clearly establish at this stage is that the newly discovered sensory neuron communication pathway is crucial for keeping fat tissue healthy. Two-Seater eVTOL Will Be Used to Train Pilots for Flying Taxis | Singularity Hub (07:38) London-based SkyFly has recently started taking pre-orders on a personal eVTOL called the Axe. It seats two, different the others trying to hit the market (seat one) Unlike its peers, the Axe has a fixed-wing design, so it's able to take off and land both vertically and in the conventional way. Vertical takeoff: Four propellers (4 ft diameter) lifts it off the ground, and once airborne, the body tilts forward to gain speed.  Eight 35-kilowatt electric engines power the plane Mounted at a 45-degree angle and don't rotate. Wingspan is 16.4 feet  Larger than any of the other personal aircraft Weighs 944 pounds (lithium battery pack accounts for a good portion of that total) Lift a maximum weight of 379 pounds.  Its top speed is 100 miles per hour, and its range is 100 miles (200 if you add an optional range extender). Skyfly is aiming for its customer base to be made up of people who are already licensed pilots and/or own their own aircraft, and those who want to become pilots. Right now there's not only a shortage of pilots for commercial aircraft, there's not a cost-effective way to train new pilots either.  And Skyfly CEO Michael Thompson wants the Axe to serve as a general aviation platform for pilots in training. SkyFly is taking pre-orders at a base price of US$175k. The company is planning to start production in 2024. A  Simple Way to Produce Hydrogen From Water at Room Temperature | ScienceAlert (15:52) A new study out of University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), provides us with another promising step in Hydrogen clean fuel, provided you can make use of existing supplies of post-consumer aluminum and gallium. Discovered a simple method involving aluminum nanoparticles that are able to strip the oxygen from water molecules and leave hydrogen gas. yields large amounts of hydrogen, and it all works at room temperature. This discovery removes one of the big barriers to hydrogen fuel production: the large amounts of power required to produce it using existing methods. Works with any kind of water, too, including wastewater and ocean water. Materials scientist Scott Oliver from UCSC seemed surprised by this process: "We don't need any energy input, and it bubbles hydrogen like crazy … I've never seen anything like it.” With the help of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques, the researchers were able to find the best mix of aluminum and gallium for producing hydrogen with the greatest efficiency.  a 3:1 gallium-aluminum composite. Gallium is an expensive and less abundant material, but at least in this process it can be recovered and reused many times over without losing its effectiveness. Bakthan Singaram, a professor of organic chemistry at UCSC, stated: “The gallium separates the nanoparticles and keeps them from aggregating into larger particles … People have struggled to make aluminum nanoparticles, and here we are producing them under normal atmospheric pressure and room temperature conditions." There is still work to do, not least in making sure this can be scaled up from a lab set-up to something that can be used on an industrial scale. Promising sign for hydrogen fuel This Type of Supplement Can Reduce Depression and Anxiety | SciTechDaily (21:50) Researchers from the University of Reading studied the effects of high doses of Vitamin B6 on young adults. Felt less anxious and depressed after taking the supplements every day for a month. Adds to the body of evidence supporting the use of supplements believed to alter brain activity levels for the prevention or treatment of mood disorders. Dr. David Field, the lead author of the study explains: “The functioning of the brain relies on a delicate balance between the excitatory neurons that carry information around and inhibitory ones, which prevent runaway activity. Recent theories have connected mood disorders and some other neuropsychiatric conditions with a disturbance of this balance, often in the direction of raised levels of brain activity. Vitamin B6 helps the body produce a specific chemical messenger that inhibits impulses in the brain, and our study links this calming effect with reduced anxiety among the participants.” Vitamin B6 promotes the body's production of GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), a molecule that blocks nerve cell impulses in the brain.  Vitamin B12 was also looked at. Had little effect compared to placebo over the trial period. Vitamin B6 made a statistically reliable difference. Dr. Field talks on foods to consume, and more research that needs to be done: “Many foods, including tuna, chickpeas, and many fruits and vegetables, contain Vitamin B6. However, the high doses used in this trial suggest that supplements would be necessary to have a positive effect on mood. It is important to acknowledge that this research is at an early stage and the effect of Vitamin B6 on anxiety in our study was quite small compared to what you would expect from medication. However, nutrition-based interventions produce far fewer unpleasant side effects than drugs, and so in the future people might prefer them as an intervention.” James Webb Telescope captures its first images of an exoplanet | Interesting Engineering (28:30) In a first for the James Webb Telescope, astronomers from the joint NASA/ESA/CSA cooperative used the space-based telescope to bring back images of an exoplanet. Images of the exoplanet are seen through four different light filters These images lead the way toward future observations that can reveal a broad range of information never before seen on exoplanets. Exoplanet looked at was a gas giant, named HIP 65426 b, which is about six to eight times the size of Jupiter. Only about 15 to 20 million years old, which in planet years is very young Earth: is about four to five billion years old. These detailed images captured an exoplanet so well it is already leading to future possibilities for studying distant worlds. ​​The Webb instrument captures light differently, and so the images have different presentations. Purple shows the NIRCam instruments view at 3.00 micrometers Blue shows the NIRCam instruments view at 4.44 micrometers Yellow images show the mid-infrared instrument's view at 11.4 micrometers. Red shows the mid-infrared instrument's view at 15.5 micrometers The difficulty in getting images of exoplanets is that the stars are so much brighter than planets.  For instance, HIP 65426 b is more than 10,000 times fainter than its host star in the near-infrared, possibly 3,000 times fainter in the mid-infrared. 

Dr. Fiona McCulloch joins JJ on today's episode. She is a naturopathic doctor and founder of White Lotus Integrative Medicine in Toronto, Canada. Her book, 8 Steps To Reverse Your PCOS, offers methods for the natural treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Dr Fiona and JJ discuss how circadian rhythm affects the fat cells in our bodies. Fat cells produce hormones, break down chemicals and inform the brain on energy stores. When we learn the most efficient time to eat, not only can we optimize our metabolism, but our bodies are also able to function much easier!
