Podcasts about fat burning

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about zero-calorie drinks and whether they are really the guilt-free option we have been led to believe. A well-known Copenhagen study compared four groups of people who drank a liter a day of regular soda, diet soda, milk, or water for six months, and the results were surprising enough to stop anyone mid-sip. Could a beverage with absolutely no calories still be working against your blood sugar, waistline and your metabolism? What do your gut, your pancreas, and even your taste buds have to do with it? Jenn digs into the science, questions the study's details, and shares what she has seen play out in real life with herself and her clients for years. But before you toss your diet soda or defend it to the end, you should hear what Jenn has to say about who this affects, why, and whether the calorie count on the label is telling you anywhere near the whole story.

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

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

Rice doesn't spike blood sugar because it's “bad.” It spikes blood sugar because of how it's eaten. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down five science-backed ways to upgrade rice so it supports metabolic health instead of sabotaging it. You'll learn how simple additions like seaweed, vinegar, cooling rice, adding protein and fat, and using soluble fiber can dramatically lower glucose and insulin responses while improving gut health. These strategies are backed by human studies and help turn rice from a fast-acting carb into a slow-digesting, gut-healing, fat-burning food. Key topics covered: Why rice causes insulin spikes and visceral fat when eaten incorrectly How wakame seaweed lowers glucose and feeds beneficial gut bacteria Why vinegar reduces post-meal blood sugar and insulin How cooling and reheating rice creates resistant starch The importance of pairing carbs with protein, fat, and vegetables How psyllium husk can blunt glucose spikes and support digestion Why white rice can be healthier than brown rice for many people If you've been avoiding rice due to blood sugar concerns, this episode shows you how to enjoy it again without the crash.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why dangerous belly fat isn't a calorie issue but a hormone issue, and why insulin control is the real key to fat loss. You'll learn how visceral fat actively drives inflammation, aging, and chronic disease, even in people who appear healthy on the outside. This sets the foundation for understanding what actually blocks fat burning in the body.   You'll discover how elevated insulin locks the body into fat-storage mode and why common symptoms like cravings, brain fog, stubborn weight, and low energy are warning signs of insulin resistance. The episode connects these symptoms to deeper metabolic dysfunction rather than willpower or discipline.   You'll also learn the daily habits that flip your metabolism from storing fat to burning it, including how food quality, sleep, movement, and muscle directly impact insulin levels. Along the way, Dr. Jockers shares practical strategies that improve metabolic flexibility while leaving room for deeper insights as you listen.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction and Importance of Good Sleep 00:12 New Year Greetings and Episode Overview 00:27 Burning Dangerous Belly Fat 00:39 Health Coaching and Resources 03:16 Understanding Visceral Fat and Inflammation 04:05 Role of Insulin in Fat Burning 05:02 Signs of High Insulin Levels 06:17 Dietary Changes to Lower Insulin 07:26 Importance of Whole Foods and Healthy Fats 08:06 Benefits of Colorful Fruits and Vegetables 09:10 Incorporating Herbs and Spices 09:25 Building Muscle and Exercise 10:22 Prioritizing Good Sleep 11:25 Reducing Toxic Load and Environmental Factors 12:39 Final Tips and Conclusion   Hair loss isn't caused by age but by hair follicles being switched off, and Swiss researchers discovered how to turn them back on with Purality Health - AnaGain Nu, a clinically proven compound extracted from pea sprouts that stimulates hair follicle cells and pushes them back into the growth phase.

In this episode, Ben reveals the 3-day science-backed protocol that rapidly reverses fatty liver — one of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, bloating, cravings, and insulin resistance. One in three people have fatty liver and don't know it, but research shows you can transform your liver and metabolism in as little as 72 hours with a simple, free, strategic approach. Ben breaks down three powerful human studies showing how fasting switches the liver into fat-burning mode within hours, activates AMPK to reduce inflammation, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers liver fat fast. He also shares the step-by-step daily plan: Day 1: Choose your fasting level, break your fast with the Liver Flush Plate, and follow the circadian liver reset Day 2: Morning ACV protocol, post-meal walks, and zero fructose Day 3: Liver Reset Meal and inflammation control You'll learn the exact foods that stimulate bile flow, the nutrients that repair liver cells, what to avoid, and how to sync your meals with your circadian rhythm for maximum healing. This simple 3-day fix leads to less bloating, better digestion, improved liver enzymes, increased energy, deeper sleep, and noticeable fat loss — all by working with your body's innate healing ability. If you've struggled with stubborn belly fat or unexplained metabolic issues, this episode gives you the blueprint to take back control in just 72 hours.

Today's episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People breaks down five of the most misunderstood topics in health and fitness and the myths that refuse to die. Sugar, inflammation, fat loss, cortisol, and seed oils are some of the most talked about topics in the space, yet they're still widely misunderstood. Marianna and Tony walk through the research, clear up common confusion, and explain what's real in a way that actually feels approachable. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of what truly impacts your health and what tends to get overstated.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for Fitness Stuff PREMIUM here!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ALL of our complete 12-week training programsBonus episodes every FridayJust $5 /month⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Legion Athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BOGO 50% off for your first order + 2X points on every order after thatuse code “FSPOD” at checkoutTimestamps:(4:53) Inflammation(22:25) Sugar(31:55) Cortisol(43:07) Fat Burning(46:57) Seed Oils

Most people think sugar is the worst carb — but there's one “healthy” carb that's even more dangerous. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how whole-grain wheat bread, often labeled as “heart-healthy,” secretly shuts off your fat-burning hormones, causes insulin resistance, and keeps you inflamed — especially after 40. You'll learn how this common food spikes your glucose just like candy, blocks your metabolism for hours, and fuels hormone imbalances like leptin resistance, thyroid slowdown, and estrogen dominance. Ben shares real data from his glucose monitor experiment and explains why removing wheat products for just 14 days can dramatically boost energy, improve sleep, and restart fat burning. You'll also discover the best carb alternatives — sweet potatoes, cooled white rice, and root vegetables — plus how to download his free 7-Day Fat Loss Protocol to finally heal your metabolism and reclaim your energy.

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals a simple yet powerful trick to flip your body from fat-storing to fat-burning mode in just 7 days — no calorie counting or crazy diets required. You'll learn why your body holds on to toxic visceral fat, how your metabolism is deeply tied to your circadian rhythm, and the secret to syncing your eating habits with daylight to supercharge fat loss, detoxification, and deep sleep. Ben breaks down the four mechanisms behind this powerful shift — insulin sensitivity, liver metabolism, melatonin regulation, and the fat-burning switch — and explains how aligning your meals with natural light cycles can help you burn fat even while you sleep. If you've been doing “everything right” and still struggling with stubborn belly fat, this episode shows you how to finally reset your metabolism and take back control — naturally.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers joins Ben Azadi to break down what really happens inside your body during a 72-hour fast — from burning stored fat to reducing inflammation in the brain. Together, they explore how fasting resets dopamine, boosts mental clarity, and strengthens emotional resilience while tapping into your body's innate healing power.   You'll hear Dr. Jockers and Ben discuss how autophagy clears out old, damaged cells and replaces them with stronger, more stress-resilient ones. They also dive into how fasting triggers the creation of new mitochondria — your body's energy factories — helping you burn fat more efficiently and age more gracefully.   Finally, discover how fasting boosts growth hormone and resets your immune system, leading to greater energy, sharper focus, and improved longevity. Whether you're new to fasting or ready to take it to the next level, this episode reveals the science and strategy behind one of nature's most powerful healing tools.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Sacrifice and Dopamine 04:45 The Science of Fasting: 12 to 24 Hours 14:27 Autophagy and Metabolic Health 16:41 Air Quality and Autophagy Explained 28:29 Preparing for a Successful Fast 34:19 Understanding Cravings During Fasting 34:30 Timing Fasting with Menstrual Cycles 34:53 Managing Hunger and Ghrelin 36:03 Benefits of Extended Fasting 36:37 Fat Burning and Liver Health 38:41 Fasting and Intestinal Health 42:00 Dopamine Reset and Fasting 48:15 Supplements and Liquids During Fasting 54:59 Breaking the Fast and Refeeding 58:03 Gratitude and Final Thoughts   Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common fasting challenges with evidence-based solutions, addressing Monica's self-sabotage pattern after reaching new low weights by explaining the body's three-pronged defense system (defend phase preventing further loss, restore phase increasing regain rate, and prevent phase reducing future weight loss probability) that creates powerful physiological resistance requiring equally comprehensive counter-strategies. The hosts reveal how metabolic adaptation activates during weight loss like a toddler throwing a tantrum, making the body fight harder at new weight thresholds, while providing practical "when-then planning" to manage the slippery slope of increased hunger and reduced willpower that emerges from dopamine deficits caused by sleep disruption and stress. They address Emily's two-week plateau after losing seven pounds initially with 20:4 fasting, explaining the critical distinction between water weight loss from glycogen depletion versus true fat loss, recommending the Blueprint to Fasting for Fat Loss resource and strategic window timing adjustments to restart momentum. Patty's wine consumption question during OMAD receives honest analysis of alcohol's metabolic priority over fat burning, sleep disruption effects reducing next-day metabolic efficiency, and dose-dependent impact on hormones especially for postmenopausal women, with recommendations to shift from daily to occasional consumption strategically timed for better recovery. The episode covers supplement timing during fasting windows (berberine, creatine recommended daily for consistency despite potential stomach sensitivity), addresses sleep disturbances from excessive 48-hour fasting during maintenance (recommending 24-36 hour alternatives to protect sleep quality over marginal metabolic gains), and explains post-meal walking benefits for glucose management through skeletal muscle uptake and improved insulin sensitivity, even when continuous glucose monitors show delayed rather than reduced spikes. Throughout, Scott and Tommy emphasize viewing fat loss and maintenance as a continuum rather than separate phases, building sustainable habits during weight loss that seamlessly transition to lifelong maintenance, positioning their upcoming pre-Thanksgiving seven-day challenge as strategically timed to establish momentum before the holiday season while reinforcing that successful fasting integration requires addressing foundational lifestyle factors of stress, sleep, food relationships, and mindset alongside fasting schedules. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

But does the science actually back that up?

Unlock better protein absorption and digestion with MassZymes by BiOptimizers. NOW GET 15% off your order with the code VANESSA at bioptimizers.com/vanessa The Bloating Episode! If you've ever struggled with bloating after eating, digestive discomfort, or wondered if your body is really absorbing all the protein and nutrients you consume, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Wade Lightheart, co-founder and president of BiOptimizers, to dive into the science of digestive enzymes and how they can transform digestion, nutrient absorption, and protein utilization. A former natural bodybuilding champion, Wade developed MassZymes after struggling with his own digestion on a high-protein diet. We cover: What EXACTLY causes bloating and poor protein digestion Why low stomach acid and declining enzyme levels with age can cause bloating and poor nutrient absorption. Clinical research on protease blends and a 2024 protein study showing improved amino acid absorption with enzyme support. A university laboratory test on MassZymes suggesting over 1,200% more amino acids released compared to digestion alone. How lipase enzymes can reduce bloating and fullness after high-fat meals. Why older adults and high-protein eaters may especially benefit from enzyme supplementation for muscle and metabolic health. If bloating, slow digestion, or protein absorption has ever held you back from feeling your best, this conversation will help you fix your bloat and unlock the full benefits of your nutrition.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down exactly what happens inside your body during a 12, 24, and 48-hour fast. You'll discover how these fasting windows affect fat burning, metabolism, and even your brain's performance. The science behind it will show you why fasting is far more powerful than just skipping meals.   You'll also learn how fasting lowers insulin, boosts growth hormone, and increases ketones—helping your body preserve muscle while burning fat. These shifts not only fuel your energy but also enhance mental clarity, creativity, and focus. The longer the fast, the deeper the benefits for your body and brain.   Beyond fat burning, fasting activates cellular repair processes like autophagy and stem cell production. These changes promote gut health, reduce inflammation, and support anti-aging at a deep level. By understanding these stages, you'll be able to create a fasting routine that works best for your unique health goals.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Intermittent Fasting 03:20 The Science of Fasting: 12 to 14 Hours 08:40 The Science of Fasting: 16 Hours 14:03 The Science of Fasting: 20 to 24 Hours 17:43 The Science of Fasting: 3 to 5 Days 18:43 Fasting Strategies and Recommendations 20:39 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Are swollen legs or ankles slowing you down?
