If it feels like your body just stopped responding to everything that used to work, you are not crazy. Fat loss after 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, follows a completely different playbook. In this episode, Chalene breaks down why eating less and doing more cardio can actually backfire and what is really going on inside your body. She walks through the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose body fat in midlife and the small shifts that can finally start moving things in the right direction. This is not about more discipline, it is about understanding your hormones, your metabolism, and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it. Check out this video on YouTube

If fat loss feels like a constant battle, it's likely not a discipline issue — it's a physiology issue. In this episode, we break down how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic stress can block fat loss, even when you're doing "everything right." Join us as we dive into functional fat loss — a smarter, more sustainable approach to losing fat by addressing the root cause instead of forcing restriction. We unpack why the traditional calories in vs. calories out approach doesn't work the same in stressed or dysregulated bodies, and how factors like inflammation, cortisol, insulin resistance, thyroid function, and nervous system stress directly impact your ability to lose fat. You'll learn why many women feel stuck despite eating less and exercising more, and why fat loss often becomes easier — not harder — when you focus on regulating your body first. We also walk you through a 3-step functional fat loss framework to help you lose fat and keep it off long-term. If you've been stuck in cycles of dieting, burnout, or "white-knuckling" your way through fat loss, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on in your body — and what to do instead. Key Takeaways • Fat loss resistance is often a physiology problem, not a willpower problem • Lowering inflammation and stress can lead to fat loss before dieting • Sustainable fat loss happens when you regulate, repair, then reduce Chapters 00:00 — Functional Fat Loss Explained: Why Weight Loss Feels So Hard 06:30 — Calories In vs. Calories Out (Why It Stops Working) 12:00 — Metabolism, Hunger Hormones & Energy Adaptation 18:00 — Inflammation vs. Fat: What You're Really Holding Onto 25:30 — Cortisol, Insulin Resistance & Thyroid Function 34:00 — Why Dieting Increases Stress & Blocks Fat Loss 41:00 — Signs Your Body Is Not Ready for Fat Loss 47:30 — The 3-Step Functional Fat Loss Framework 55:00 — Why Most People Regain Weight After Dieting 01:02:00 — How to Lose Fat & Keep It Off for Good Want to Work With Us?

In this episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa sits down with sports nutrition scientist Dr. Jose Antonio, one of the world's leading researchers on protein metabolism and body composition. Dr. Antonio is widely known for his groundbreaking protein overfeeding studies, which found that participants consuming extremely high protein diets did not gain body fat — and in some cases actually lost more fat — even while eating more calories. In this conversation, Vanessa and Dr. Antonio explore the fascinating metabolic reasons why protein behaves differently in the body, including its thermic effect, impact on satiety, and role in preserving lean mass during fat loss. They also discuss the newly evolving protein recommendations, how protein interacts with carbohydrates and fats in the diet, and why certain athletes may benefit from lower carbohydrate approaches depending on their sport and metabolic demands. If your goal is fat loss, body recomposition, or maintaining muscle while dieting, this episode offers a deep dive into the science behind why prioritizing protein can be such a powerful strategy. In This Episode • Why protein overfeeding studies showed more calories did not lead to fat gain • The metabolic reasons protein calories behave differently in the body • How high protein intake supports fat loss and lean muscle preservation • The science behind the thermic effect of protein • Why newer protein recommendations are increasing • How protein, carbohydrates, and fats interact to influence body composition • Why certain athletes may benefit from lower carbohydrate strategies Timeline Mitopure Gummies — The #1 Urolithin A supplement for energy and healthy aging, now in delicious strawberry gummies.

You snap a progress photo.You look at the scale.You take your measurements.And instead of feeling proud, you feel that same heavy frustration wash over you.Because the only thought running through your head is:“How am I working this hard… and STILL not seeing anything change?”And then...just to make it sting a little more...you open social media and see someone else's transformation and think,“Why is it working for them… but not for me?”And the spiral begins.“Is it my age?”“Is it my hormones?”“Is my metabolism broken?”“Is something wrong with ME?”If you've ever had that moment…You're not crazy. You're not broken.

Fat Loss School - Weight loss, Wellness, and Mindset Lessons for Women Over 50
Today we are talking about a topic that is everywhere right now—GLP-1 medications for weight loss. You've probably heard about them from friends, your doctor, social media, or the news. And for many women, these medications are becoming one possible tool in their health journey. But here's the key question I wanted to explore today: What happens when you combine GLP-1 medications with the foundational habits that actually support long-term health and fat loss? Because one thing I always teach here in Fat Loss School is that no tool replaces the fundamentals—things like prioritizing protein, eating mostly whole foods, strength training, managing stress, and creating sustainable habits. So instead of just talking about GLP-1s, I thought it would be much more helpful to talk with women who are actually navigating this in real life. Today I'm joined by two of my FASTer Way clients, Liese Tavaglione and Robyn Neft, who are both using GLP-1 medications as one tool in their journey while also following the FASTer Way strategies like a protein-first approach to eating and consistent strength training. They're generously sharing their honest experiences—what led them to consider this option, what they've learned along the way, and how focusing on foundational habits has helped them do this in a healthy and sustainable way. If you've been curious about GLP-1s, considering them yourself, or simply wondering how they fit into a bigger health picture, this conversation will give you a balanced, real-life perspective.

The internet has made health and fitness more accessible than ever… but it's also made it way more confusing. In this episode of Level Up With Sharelle and Dani, we break down some of the biggest nutrition myths circulating online right now and why they're misleading so many people. We talk about: • The truth about hormones and fat loss • Why carbs don't make you fat (and why your body actually needs them) • The myth that eating after a certain time causes weight gain • How overly rigid nutrition rules can create more stress than progress The reality? Most people don't need extreme diets or complicated protocols. They need to focus on the basics. Consistent training. Balanced nutrition. Sleep. Recovery. And a strategy that actually fits their life. If you've ever felt confused by the constant stream of nutrition advice online, this episode will help you filter through the noise.
Peptides for midlife health are suddenly everywhere, but do they actually work or are they just the newest longevity trend? In this episode, Chalene Johnson sits down with longevity expert Dr. Elizabeth Yurth to break down the growing buzz around peptides and what women over 40 should know before jumping in. You've probably heard about GLP-1 medications, BPC-157, collagen peptides, and growth hormone peptides, all promising benefits for weight loss, inflammation, muscle recovery, and anti-aging. But with so many supplements, injections, and online sources popping up, it's getting harder to tell what's legitimate and what's just hype. Together, Chalene and Dr. Yurth unpack what peptides actually are, why they're suddenly everywhere in the longevity world, and why many experts believe peptide levels change as we age. They also discuss one of the biggest risks most people don't realize until it's too late: where peptides are coming from and why the source matters far more than most people think. If you've been curious about peptides, GLP-1 medications, or longevity therapies for women over 40, this conversation will help you start asking the right questions before deciding whether they belong in your midlife health routine.

In this Q&A episode, I answer 15 questions covering fat loss, fitness myths, gym confidence, and a few personal topics you've been curious about. We talk about how long fat loss realistically takes, whether supplements actually matter, why so many people regain weight after dieting, and whether walking is enough for fat loss. I also share thoughts on training to failure, starting the gym when you feel intimidated, and what a sustainable fitness routine really looks like. Along the way, I answer a few non-fitness questions too—including how I first got into anime, my favourite trading card pull, how I met my wife, and one life lesson that took me years to learn.
Joe Holder is a performance coach, Nike Master Trainer, and wellness strategist who works with elite athletes, artists, and brands at the intersection of fitness, mindset, and longevity.If you want real results by summer, this episode lays out exactly how to use the next 12 weeks to build strength, improve conditioning, lose fat effectively, and create a body that looks and performs better. We break down how to get into solid general shape in the first 4–6 weeks, then transition into smarter “toning” phases that focus on muscle balance, symmetry, and definition. Joe explains the difference between building vs. toning muscle (and why most people get this wrong), plus what most people miss when structuring a workout plan that actually delivers visible change.You'll learn how to use the three types of cardio strategically, including when cardio helps recovery instead of hurting progress, and how to apply progressive overload, de-load phases, and supercompensation so your body keeps adapting.We also get tactical with carb cycling, sustainable fat loss, training with PCOS and how to monitor short-term progress so you build real intuition about what's working.Joe shares the key difference between rigid routines and flexible frameworks, what elite athletes and celebrities do differently, and how to stay consistent long enough to see real momentum.If you're ready to treat the next 3 months like a focused training camp and walk into summer feeling strong, lean, and dialed, this episode is your blueprint.This episode is brought to you by:Save 15% off my favorite Red Light Mask from BON CHARGE by using code BLONDE at www.boncharge.com.For a limited time, Prolon is offering 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day program!

Confused about tracking macros, or stuck in a weight loss cycle of cutting carbs, cutting fat, and still feeling like nothing is sustainable? In this episode, I break down exactly what macros are, why protein, carbs, and fat all matter for metabolism health, energy, and muscle, and how tracking macros supports fat loss without living in restriction. You'll also learn why low carb and low fat approaches often backfire, how to lose fat with a realistic macro strategy, and why a reverse diet can be the missing step for women who have tried "every diet under the sun".
Fat loss and muscle gain are often framed as simple equations — eat the right amount, train hard, stay consistent. And while those factors absolutely matter, they aren't the whole story. Your internal physiology plays a major role in how your body utilizes energy, recovers from training, and responds to nutrition.In this episode, we explore a factor that is frequently overlooked in conversations about body composition: digestive health.Chronic gut dysfunction doesn't just cause uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, reflux, gas, or irregular digestion. It can also create ongoing low-grade inflammation and stress signaling within the body. Over time, this can affect cortisol regulation, blood sugar control, recovery, and how efficiently your body uses energy.When these systems become dysregulated, fat loss and muscle gain can become significantly harder — not because you're doing something wrong, but because your body is adapting to a chronically stressed internal environment.This episode walks through how gut dysfunction can trigger a cascade of physiological effects that influence metabolism, recovery, hormone signaling, and body composition. More importantly, it helps you understand how to identify these patterns and where to start if digestive stress may be contributing to a plateau.The goal isn't to make body composition feel more complicated — it's to provide clarity so you can approach your health and fitness goals more strategically instead of simply pushing harder.In this episode, we cover:• Why chronic gut dysfunction acts as a persistent stress signal in the body• How inflammation from digestive distress influences cortisol regulation• The connection between chronic stress signaling, blood sugar regulation, and insulin resistance• Why impaired glucose control can slow energy expenditure and lower daily calorie burn• How chronic stress and sympathetic activation affect digestion and nutrient absorption• The role digestion plays in hormone balance, including thyroid and sex hormones• Why gut dysfunction can interfere with muscle recovery and growth• How digestive stress can impact sleep quality and recovery from training• Signs your digestion may be contributing to stalled fat loss or muscle gain• Foundational strategies that help restore digestive stability and reduce chronic gut stressIf you've been feeling stuck in your body composition goals despite putting in consistent effort, this episode will help you better understand what might be happening beneath the surface — and why supporting your digestive system may be an important first step.Connect With Coach DianaInstagram, YouTube, TikTok: @coachdianaleighEmail: coachdianaleigh@gmail.com

In this episode, I talk about three simple ways to control chronic inflammation—and how to keep score on your progress instead of chasing expensive supplements. The topic was inspired by a friend who texted me a photo of a pricey bottle of antioxidants and asked if it would help with inflammation, which prompted some classic Brad-splaining. I explain why the biggest drivers of chronic inflammation are everyday lifestyle habits—especially diet—and why heavily processed foods, refined industrial seed oils, refined grains, sugars, and alcohol disrupt metabolic health and promote visceral belly fat, the dangerous fat around your organs that actively releases inflammatory agents into the bloodstream. The goal is shifting toward a protein-centric, nutrient-dense whole foods diet. I also cover the other major pillars: movement and sleep. Sitting too much can promote inflammatory processes, while chronic overtraining can keep the body stuck in a sympathetic stress response—so the goal is regular daily movement paired with a sensible fitness program. Finally, I explain why sleep, rest, recovery, and true downtime are essential for repair and brain health, including the role of the glymphatic system. Before spending money on exotic supplements, focus on the basics: clean up your diet, move more throughout the day, and prioritize sleep. TIMESTAMPS: The inflammation in your body is believed to be the root cause of virtually all disease. [01:00] Chronic inflammtion is mostly caused by a poor diet. [03:00] Watch out for the oils you are served when dining out. In your kitchen toss out the soy bean oil, corn oil, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed oil, and canola oil. [06:16] Oil that is naturally yielded such as first cold pressed virgin olive oil as well as coconut oil are better. [08:35] Be careful when you look for avocado oil because some have been altered and mixed with cheaper oils. [09:27] If you're snacking and consuming a lot of these foods throughout the day, throughout your life, you're going to have chronic overproduction of insulin. [11:25] We have to put alcohol and most energy bars on this list of causes of systemic inflammation. [13:00] Steak and eggs are good breakfast choices. [14:59] Having an accumulation of visceral fat is a huge red flag. [16:33] Exercise and movement influence inflammation. In order for our organs and systems to work appropriately, we need to be in near constant movement throughout the day. [22:00] Learn what works for you. Sitting to much promotes chronic inflammation and over exercising promotes chronic inflammation. [28:46] Sleep is more important than most people think.

If you're over 40 and doing "everything right" — eating clean, lifting weights, prioritizing sleep — but your metabolism feels slower, hunger feels stronger, and fat loss feels harder… This episode explains why. In this deep-dive rabbit hole, Coach Debbie Potts uncovers the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between bile flow, mitochondrial efficiency, GLP-1 signaling, hormones, and midlife metabolism. Bile acids are not just digestive fluids. They are metabolic signaling molecules that regulate: • GLP-1 and PYY (satiety hormones) • Insulin sensitivity • Fat oxidation • Thyroid receptor expression • Estrogen clearance (the estrobolome) • Microbiome balance • Inflammatory tone • Toxin elimination You'll learn how midlife hormonal shifts — including declining estrogen and testosterone — affect mitochondrial ATP production, bile synthesis, and receptor signaling. When bile signaling weakens, GLP-1 drops, hunger rises, insulin resistance increases, fat oxidation declines, inflammation builds, and metabolism adapts downward. This isn't a willpower problem. It's a signaling problem. High performers often feel this shift first because chronic stress suppresses digestion, weakens vagal tone, reduces stomach acid, impairs gallbladder contraction, and disrupts bile release. In this episode, Debbie connects the dots and explains the midlife cascade: Hormone shift → Mitochondrial decline → Bile signaling weakens → GLP-1 drops → Insulin resistance rises → Fat oxidation slows → Inflammation increases → Thyroid sensitivity declines → Metabolic rate adapts downward. You'll also learn why GLP-1 medications are exploding in popularity — and why restoring upstream physiology may be the more sustainable path. Instead of pushing harder, we sequence smarter. When flow restores, metabolism follows.

Most women will research every stroller, bottle, and sleep schedule for their baby but spend almost no time thinking about how to support their own body during pregnancy. In this episode, I'm sharing a “half baked” pregnancy update and pulling back the curtain on what I've actually been doing to support my body while growing this baby. The reality is that most prenatal care is focused on monitoring the baby, not optimizing the mother's health. And while that makes sense medically, it also leaves a huge gap in how women care for themselves during one of the most physically demanding seasons of life. Pregnancy is often treated like a time to pause your health goals, but I see it more like a sport that requires intentional preparation and support. In this episode, I walk through the team I've built around me including a functional practitioner, doula, midwife, pelvic floor physical therapist, chiropractor, and massage therapist and why I chose to outsource as many decisions as possible during this season. I share what the first trimester actually looked like for me, from fatigue and nausea to the unexpected mental challenge of body image changes. We also talk about the simple systems I'm using moving into the second and third trimesters, including strength training, daily movement, blood sugar stability, and pelvic floor work. I explain how I'm thinking about nutrition not just for myself, but for my baby's long-term health and taste development. We'll also talk honestly about the physical discomforts of pregnancy and the moments that can make you question whether something is wrong. Finally, I share how researching birth options shifted my mindset from nervousness to genuine excitement, and why I ultimately decided on a home birth with a midwife and doula while still working with my OB for imaging. If you're pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about a different approach to supporting your body through pregnancy, this episode offers a real, honest look behind the scenes.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen break down three big topics that confuse a lot of people in the health and fitness world. Gut health, fat loss plateaus, and VO2 max.They start the episode talking about a major problem in the fitness space today. There is simply too much information. People are constantly told they need new diets, supplements, workouts, or “protocols” to see results. But the truth is most people would see progress by sticking to the basics like eating more protein, drinking more water, moving daily, and focusing on whole foods.The coaches then answer a question about gut health. They explain what gut health actually is and why things like fiber, hydration, sleep, movement, and stress management matter far more than expensive supplements or trendy gut protocols. They also discuss fermented foods like kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles and whether eating them daily really makes a difference.Next, they tackle a common fat loss struggle. What should you do if you are eating around 1,400 calories, feeling full, but not losing weight? Chase and Chris explain how tracking accuracy, calorie awareness, and long periods of dieting can affect progress. They also talk about why increasing calories sometimes helps people move forward again.Finally, they break down VO2 max in simple terms. It is a measurement of how well your body uses oxygen during exercise and is often shown on smart watches. While watches are not perfectly accurate, improving the trend usually means your cardiovascular fitness is improving.This episode cuts through the noise of the fitness industry and brings the focus back to simple habits that actually drive results.Chapters(00:00) The Fitness Industry Is Flooding You With Too Much Information(03:00) Why Most People Just Need the Basics to See Results(07:10) A New Way to Experience Coaching Before Committing(09:00) What Gut Health Actually Means(12:10) Do Fermented Foods and Probiotics Really Help?(15:00) The Problem With “Gut Protocols” and Supplement Trends(17:40) I Eat 1,400 Calories But I'm Not Losing Weight(20:00) Tracking Accuracy and Hidden Calories(22:00) Why Hunger Can Actually Be a Good Sign During Fat Loss(24:00) How Reverse Dieting Helps Increase Calories Again(25:00) What VO2 Max Is and Why It Matters for Your HealthSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
Send a textSprinting toward weight loss can feel thrilling—until the bill comes due in the form of lost muscle, low energy, and a slowed resting metabolic rate. We dig into what most plans miss: muscle is not just about strength or looks. It's a metabolic organ that helps regulate blood sugar, supports insulin sensitivity, protects bone density, and stabilizes your day-to-day energy. When the scale drops fast without resistance training and adequate protein, you risk losing the very tissue that keeps you resilient.We walk through a smarter strategy for anyone chasing fat loss without sacrificing performance. That starts with redefining success around body composition and strength, not just pounds lost. Two to three weekly strength sessions, protein at every meal, and sleep that actually restores you become the backbone of sustainable change. If you're using GLP-1 medications under medical guidance, we explain how to pair them with progressive lifting and nutrition to better protect lean mass. You'll hear why quick fixes often backfire, how to monitor more than the scale, and why patience with muscle gain pays off.Women navigating perimenopause and menopause get a special focus, with practical guidance for preserving muscle and bone during a time of natural hormonal shifts. We keep it real and actionable: 30-minute strength blocks, compound movements that matter, performance-based tracking, and simple meal frameworks that balance protein, fiber-rich carbs, and healthy fats. The goal isn't to get smaller at any cost—it's to build a body that thinks clearly, leads well, ages powerfully, and feels good to live in.If you're ready to trade speed for strength and protect the metabolism that fuels your life, press play.

This week's stories: Healthy Diets That Offset "Bad Genes" A major UK Biobank study of over 100,000 people found that following any one of five healthy dietary patterns was associated with up to 3 extra years of life — and the benefit held regardless of genetic predisposition to longevity. Your DNA is not an excuse. The macro pattern matters more than the perfect protocol. • Sources: -https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ads7559 -https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12904179 -https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/eat-well-live-longer-study-5-healthy-diet-plans-longevity Micro-Habits in Sleep, Activity, and Diet That Extend Life Researchers built a composite "SPAN" score combining sleep, movement, sedentary time, and diet quality and found that small improvements across all four — we're talking minutes per day — cut mortality risk by up to 64% when stacked together.

What do elite athletes do differently when it comes to fat loss? In this episode, Vanessa breaks down the most surprising takeaways from her conversation with sports dietitian Emily Mitchell, who has worked with professional teams including UCLA Athletics, the LA Galaxy, the Clippers, and the Buccaneers. While many people think getting lean requires constant dieting, eliminating carbohydrates, and pushing through hunger, elite athletes often take a completely different approach. Vanessa explores six of the most powerful fat loss strategies used by elite performers — including why many athletes don't diet during their competitive season, why protein intake is far higher than most people realize, and how strategic carbohydrate timing can actually support fat loss and performance.
What does sustainable progress actually look like when it comes to fat loss, muscle building, and confidence?In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey breaks down why so many women struggle to maintain results after relying on extreme approaches like cutting carbs, overtraining, or constantly starting over after one imperfect day. True sustainability isn't about perfect macros, never missing workouts, or having flawless weeks—it's about staying consistent even when life isn't ideal.Nikkiey explains how the body naturally adapts during fat loss, why progress can slow over time, and why building muscle acts as “metabolic armor” for long-term health, hormones, and metabolism. She also shares the simple habits that actually drive lasting change—structured nutrition, progressive strength training, walking, hydration, and sleep.If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of extremes, this episode will help you redefine what real, sustainable progress looks like.This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth.

Whether intermittent fasting truly delivers fat loss benefits — or if it quietly costs you the very muscle that protects your metabolism, we'll talk about the latest 2025 research reveals about protein-sparing modified fasting, autophagy, ketones, and why calorie deficit alone isn't the full story. In this episode, know if fasting fits your body or not — if you're in perimenopause or postmenopause and want better body composition without wrecking recovery. Sparing muscle loss during fat loss isn't about eating less and hoping for the best — it's about using science strategically to protect strength, metabolism, and longevity.

What if the missing piece in your nutrition and fitness results has nothing to do with the gym? Could the biggest barrier to body recomp and strength training progress actually be stress at home?Leadership consultant and Dad Nation Podcast host Mitchell Osmond brings a perspective most fitness podcasts rarely talk about. Chronic relationship stress and how it quietly sabotages nutrition and fitness progress. We explore how emotional tension at home can disrupt metabolism, hormone health, recovery, and muscle building even when your strength training, macros, and lifting weights routine look solid on paper.Mitchell breaks down why some men unknowingly use the gym as an escape instead of a growth tool and how that hidden stress environment can stall weight loss and body recomp. We also discuss sustainable habit building, why lowering the bar can actually help you build muscle long term, and the powerful “life report card” framework for aligning your health, family, and purpose.If your lifting routine feels dialed in but your results are stuck, this conversation may reveal the missing piece behind your strength training and recovery.Get Fitness Lab (20% off for listeners), the #1 coaching app that adapts to YOUR recovery, YOUR schedule, and YOUR body.

Fat Loss School - Weight loss, Wellness, and Mindset Lessons for Women Over 50
Today we're talking about something that might completely change how you think about fat loss after 50. It's not another workout. It's something called NEAT. NEAT stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. It's the energy you burn doing everything that is NOT: sleeping, eating, or working out. So NEAT is walking around your house, cleaning, fidgeting, taking the stairs, parking farther away, etc. All of that counts. And here's the kicker…For women over 50, NEAT may impact fat loss more than your 45-minute workout.

In this episode, Mike provides valuable insight into why rest and recovery is just as important as your training routine. We don't build muscle or lose fat in the gym... we improve by recovering adequately from the work we do in the gym (and the kitchen). There are usually plenty of symptoms that you need more recovery... find out what they are in this episode.------------------------------------------------Click here to apply for coaching!For some amazing resources and to be a part of a badass community, join our FB group HEREThe personality assessment is now available online!

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner is a chiropractic physician who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in utilizing advanced technologies to enhance patient care and wellness, including the use of laser and light-based therapies. Dr. Woolner has established himself as a credible voice in chiropractic care and is widely recognized for his expertise in integrating innovative treatments. Dr. Andrew Wells is an accomplished expert in natural health solutions, with a strong focus on the synergy between technology and healthcare. He collaborates closely with Dr. Woolner in providing insights into effective health practices, including weight loss strategies through cutting-edge light-based therapies. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of the Laser Light Show, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells discuss ground-breaking developments in light-based therapies, specifically focusing on weight and fat loss. The conversation revolves around Erchonia's latest technological advancements that promise to transform traditional approaches towards managing obesity and promoting healthier lifestyles. They introduce the new Zerona Z8 laser—an FDA-cleared, high-intensity violet laser designed to increase cellular energy and stimulate weight loss, offering new hope and tools for both individuals and practitioners. The episode delves into the rising challenges and perceptions surrounding obesity, weight loss interventions, and the growing popularity of GLP-1 medications. It highlights the importance of integrating tools like Zerona lasers with holistic lifestyle changes for a sustainable weight loss solution. Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells stress the critical role of cellular energy in weight management and how addressing mitochondrial dysfunction can mitigate the obesity epidemic facing many. They advocate for an energy-first approach that prioritizes physiological health to facilitate consistent long-term behavioral shifts in diet and exercise regimens, ultimately fostering a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle. Key Takeaways: Light-based therapies, like the new Zerona Z8 laser, can revolutionize weight loss treatments by enhancing cellular energy and supporting long-term lifestyle changes. Chronic health issues and weight management difficulties often stem from insufficient cellular energy, making it essential to address mitochondrial dysfunction. The popular notion of light therapies as quick-fixes for melting fat fails to capture the full potential of these technologies as catalysts for broader health improvements. Incorporating tools like lasers with lifestyle adjustments, such as breath work and optimizing circadian rhythms, provides a comprehensive approach to weight loss. A successful weight loss strategy intertwines modern technological interventions with patient dedication to lifestyle changes, offering both immediate and enduring health benefits. Notable Quotes: "The paradigm shift with light-based therapies isn't just about melting away fat, but how they can act as a catalyst for sustainable energy and behavior change." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Patients often lack the physiological energy needed to make lasting lifestyle changes, and that's where therapies like the Zerona laser play a crucial role." - Dr. Andrew Wells "It's about solving mitochondrial dysfunction to empower and enable individuals to make healthier choices consistently." - Dr. Chad Woolner "When you increase your body's capacity to produce more energy, it not only supports weight loss but overall wellness and quality of life." - Dr. Andrew Wells "Using the Zerona laser as a catalyst can completely change someone's energy and mindset, paving the way for long-term health benefits." - Dr. Chad Woolner Resources: Erchonia's Zerona Lasers Book: Brain Energy by Dr. Chris Palmer Dr. Andrew Huberman podcast on circadian rhythm Enhance your understanding of cutting-edge weight loss technologies by listening in on this enlightening episode. Stay tuned for more insights from Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells on the Laser Light Show, revealing how innovative therapies and holistic approaches can transform health practices.
What if the reason fat loss feels impossible is not willpower, not discipline, and not “eat less, move more” but your hormones, your hunger, and your body's fat thermostat? In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben welcomes back Dr. Jason Fung to break down why most weight loss advice fails long term and why obesity and type 2 diabetes are not calorie problems, they are hormonal problems. Dr. Fung explains how insulin acts as a fat storage signal, why fasting insulin and C-peptide can reveal metabolic dysfunction years before A1c rises, and how hunger is the real problem behind overeating. He also introduces key ideas from his new book, The Hunger Code, including the fat thermostat, the “three whys,” and the three types of hunger: physical, emotional, and conditioned. You will walk away with a clearer framework for sustainable fat loss that works with human physiology instead of fighting it. Key Topics Covered Why “eat less, move more” has an extremely high long-term failure rate Calories vs hormones: why the body can store or burn the same calories differently Insulin's role in fat storage and fat burning shutdown Insulin resistance as “overflow,” not “under-fuel” Why fasting insulin and C-peptide matter earlier than A1c The fat thermostat concept and why metabolism adapts fast Hunger hormones and satiety signals (including GLP-1 related discussion) The “three whys” framework for getting to the root cause of weight gain The 3 types of hunger: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned hunger Why ultra-processed foods reshape hunger and behavior Why low insulin matters more than “low carb” for many people How environment and community influence obesity risk and habits Resources & Special Offer Dr. Jason FungWebsite: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/ Book: The Hunger Code (Release Date: March 3) Pre-order the book through Dr. Jason Fung's website to receive exclusive bonuses, including a free masterclass and additional resources.
