In this episode the guys break down the muscle paradox! Why people are losing muscle while trying to lose fat, why this crisis is being amplified by GLP-1 use, and the three things that cause it: inadequate protein, poor resistance training programming, and a cardio focus. They also get into the testosterone U-shape curve and how more isn't always better for libido, Sal's upcoming talk at the World Peptide Congress in Arizona, Adam's sauna routine and how it kept him from getting the norovirus that took down his whole family, the shriek bird that impales its prey on thorns, and polar bear fun facts nobody asked for. Then they answer questions submitted through Instagram, covering how to add cardio after years of strength training, what's actually happening in your body when you under-eat but still get stronger, physical standards for men and women in their late 30s and early 40s, and how to approach warm-up sets.

Your eyes might be revealing metabolic disease long before your doctor catches it in bloodwork — and most people have no idea. In this episode, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with Dr. Radka Toms, ophthalmologist, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of My Sugar Stop, to explore the fascinating and largely unknown connection between sugar, gut health, and your vision. Dr. Toms shares her own story — from a "hardcore conventional doctor" eating chocolate bars for lunch to developing rosacea and insulin resistance and eventually pioneering the field of nutritional ophthalmology.

Baking bread during Covid-19 lockdowns provided Chantle Edillor with some career inspiration. “I knew I wanted to do something different and an exploration in sourdough presented an opportunity that I felt uniquely able to pursue,” she says. In 2022, after completing PhD research into metabolic diseases at the University of California Los Angeles, Edillor began a postdoc there, where she researched the anti-inflammatory properties of fermented foods. She now works as a fermented food scientist at Microcosm Foods, a non-profit research organization that maps connections between fermented foods, microbes and human health, a role she combines with assay development at the Astera Institute, a similar non-profit based in the Bay Area, San Francisco. In the third episode of a six-part podcast series about creativity in science, Edillor says fermentation techniques re-ignited a childhood interest in cooking: “I have early memories of sitting and watching the Food Network with a metal bowl full of egg whites in my lap, holding a whisk and attempting to make stiff peak meringue, but also to understand how proteins capture air to create volume and texture.” Edillor's culinary and scientific creativity extends to adding kombucha to leftover dinner party wine to make red wine vinegar, and making miso from blue tortillla chips. “Because the chips had been deep fried and fat does not necessarily ferment super well, it had this off flavour, kind of oxidized fat. I​​​​​​​'ll not be commercializing that anytime soon.”Summing up her career to date, she says: “I​​​​​​​'m a human geneticist masquerading as a yeast geneticist, masquerading as a microbiologist. There are certain areas of science that are less competitive and more collaborative. Those are the spaces I like to occupy.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As Americans begin for the first time to appreciate their gut microbiomes and understand the importance of nurturing good bacteria in the body, fermented foods are enjoying a long-overdue moment in the spotlight — and Erin, for one, is thrilled.   In episode one of her new miniseries, “Fermented Fun,” Erin introduces the age-old concept of preservation by fermentation and highlights some of the many foods and beverages that involve some form of fermentation. From pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, and sourdough to yogurt, beer, wine, and kombucha, the culinary applications are nearly endless.   At the end of the episode, Erin samples a tray of mystery delicacies assembled by fellow fermentation enthusiast (and KFUO on-air personality) Andy Bates, with hilarious results.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes certified nutrition specialist Jacqui Bryan for a focused exploration on the overlooked vitamin K. Together, they unpack the distinct roles and sources of vitamin K1 and K2, share practical approaches for getting these nutrients through a variety of foods, and discuss vitamin K's importance in bone health, blood clotting, and even cancer prevention. The episode clears up supplement myths, highlights potential medication interactions, and arms listeners, especially those facing cancer or osteoporosis, with empowering, food-first strategies.Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, certified health coach, registered nurse, and functional medicine expert. With expertise in nutrition and integrative health, she offers clarity and actionable advice to those navigating complex health journeys. "You can sneak it into your diet in different ways...have diversity, have a wide variety of foods so that we're assured to get many of those nutrients that are so important for good health." ~Jacqui BryanToday on Beating Cancer Daily:·      Vitamin K comes in two main forms: K1, found in leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables, and K2, present in some animal and fermented foods·      It is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it needs dietary fat for proper absorption and can accumulate in the body·      Vitamin K is crucial for healthy blood clotting and bone strength, which is especially important for those with osteoporosis or recovering from cancer treatments·      Consuming vitamin K-rich foods can reduce the risk of bone fractures, particularly in older adults and those weakened by therapies·      There are significant interactions between vitamin K intake and blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin and Coumadin, requiring careful management·      Fermented foods like natto and select cheeses are highlighted as potent K2 sources for those who consume animal-derived foods·      A diverse diet including vegetables, dairy, and poultry can provide the recommended daily allowances of vitamin K for both men and women·      Supplements are often unnecessary for those who meet their needs with whole foods: spinach, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts can easily exceed daily requirementsGuest Contact Information:Jacqui Bryan:Website: jacquibryan.com2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025. Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in 140 countries across 7 continents and features over 400 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg. To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_SuggestionsTo sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

We've been wanting to do this one for a while. Gut health is one of those topics that gets thrown around constantly — everybody's talking about probiotics, green powders, elimination diets — but most of the conversation is either oversimplified or just flat-out wrong. This episode is our attempt to actually make sense of it.We get into what the microbiome actually is, why diversity matters more than most people realize, and how the food you eat either builds or breaks down that diversity over time. Fermented foods come up a lot here — and not in a "drink kombucha and you're fixed" kind of way. We talk about what the research actually shows and what your everyday dietary choices are doing to your gut ecosystem whether you're thinking about it or not.There's a good chunk of this episode spent on the stuff nobody talks about — the limitations of gut testing, why blood work alone misses the picture, and why elimination diets are a tool, not a personality. We also get into the gut-brain connection, which honestly was one of the more mind-opening parts of the conversation for me. Stress isn't just mental. It's showing up in your gut, your immune system, and potentially your autoimmune risk.We close out with what we'd actually tell someone who's struggling with gut issues right now — food journaling, building sustainable meal structure, and why green powders are probably not the thing you think they are. Real talk, no fluff.Follow Paul: @paulbuono

In this timely and honest conversation, Alisa Keeton explores the rise of GLP-1 medications and the deeper story beneath the headlines. While these drugs are being celebrated—even evolving into new versions that promise muscle gain—Alisa invites us to pause and ask a better question: What is our body actually trying to tell us? This episode goes beyond weight loss trends and into the heart of human longing, safety, and connection. Because often, the issue isn't just food noise—it's the pain that came first. When we don't feel safe, seen, or loved, our bodies respond. And sometimes, that response looks like reaching for food. But what if healing isn't found in silencing the signal… but in listening to it? In This Episode, You'll Learn: What GLP-1 medications actually do in the body Why the cultural push toward "skinny" is resurfacing The connection between emotional safety and eating patterns How "food noise" is often rooted in unmet needs The role of the vagus nerve in hunger, fullness, and nervous system regulation Why low vagal tone can disrupt your body's ability to feel satisfied How Scripture reframes rest, repentance, and true salvation A Deeper Reflection: "Where there is no love, there is noise." Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, Alisa connects the dots between love, safety, and the internal signals we often try to override. When love feels absent, the body gets louder. Science + Faith Connection: This episode references research highlighted in Scientific American (June 2024) exploring how GLP-1 medications interact with the brain—and how the vagus nerve plays a key role in signaling satiety. So What Can You Do? If your body feels dysregulated or disconnected, there is hope. Here are simple, natural ways to support your body's GLP-1 response and restore nervous system balance: 1. Activate the Vagus Nerve (your "rest and restore" pathway): Breathwork (the most effective place to start) Gentle, rhythmic movement (walking, swaying, bouncing) 2. Use Your Voice: Humming Singing 3. Support Your Body Physically: Cold exposure (cold showers, plunges) Heat (sauna) 4. Nourish Your Gut + Hormones: Fiber (25–30g daily) Adequate protein Fermented foods for microbiome health 5. Restore Rhythms: Prioritize quality sleep Practice slow, mindful eating Featured Resource:

Angela talks to Dr Sarah Berry about the controversial topic of seed oils and their impact on inflammation and cardiovascular health.  Dr Berry, who has gained notoriety for her views on seed oils, clarifies the role of saturated fats in increasing LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, emphasising the importance of the food source from which these fats are derived. She also highlights the nuanced differences between unfermented and fermented dairy products, explaining how the fermentation process alters the health effects of saturated fat WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Saturated fat is known to increase LDL cholesterol and is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.  The source of saturated fat matters, as different food matrices can influence health outcomes. Unfermented dairy products, like butter, are linked to increased cholesterol and cardiovascular risk Fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, do not have the same negative effects despite containing saturated fat. There is significant individual variability in how people respond to changes in saturated fat intake.  Some individuals may experience substantial reductions in LDL cholesterol when reducing saturated fat and increasing polyunsaturated fat, while others may see little to no effect.

What does your gut really do—and how can you keep it healthy? In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison sits down with Dr. Haley Zylberberg, a gastroenterologist at NewYork‑Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, to find out the basics of gut health, from digestion and the microbiome to fiber, fermented foods, and the gut‑brain connection. Dr. Zylberberg explains how fiber supports digestion, why everyone's “normal” gut function looks different, and how stress and mental health can directly affect the digestive system. She also shares signs of a healthy gut, red flags that shouldn't be ignored, and why colorectal cancer screening is so important—especially as younger adults are being diagnosed more often. Whether you're curious about probiotics, wondering how much fiber you really need, or looking to better understand your body, this episode offers practical, science‑backed guidance to help support lifelong gut health. Chapters: 00:00 – The Basics of Gut Health and the Microbiome What the gut is, how digestion works, and why the microbiome plays a critical role in overall health. 06:30 – Fiber, Food, and Supporting Your Gut How fiber supports digestion, how much you need each day, common misconceptions, and tips for increasing fiber safely. 11:30 – The Gut‑Brain Connection How stress affects digestion, why the gut and brain communicate so closely, and what that means for digestive symptoms. 15:10 – Red Flags and Colorectal Cancer Screening Warning signs of an unhealthy gut, when to see a doctor, and why colorectal cancer screening is essential and preventive. Key Topics Covered   ·  Gut anatomy and digestion ·  The gut microbiome and “good” bacteria ·  Fiber benefits and daily fiber intake ·  Fermented foods and probiotics ·  Gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea ·  The gut‑brain connection and stress ·  Red flag digestive symptoms ·  Colorectal cancer prevention and screening guidelines Takeaway Message Your gut plays a central role in your overall health, and small, consistent habits—like eating enough fiber, managing stress, and knowing what's normal for your body—can make a big difference. Paying attention to changes and staying up to date with recommended screenings can help catch problems early and even prevent serious disease. Expert Guest Dr. Haley Zylberberg's clinical focus is general gastroenterology, with a specialization in celiac disease. She has a sustained interest in patient-outcomes research using large databases and has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles on celiac disease diagnosis and its clinical manifestations.  Dr. Zylberberg earned her B.A. in neuroscience and behavior from Columbia University and her medical degree at Hofstra-Northwell School of Medicine, where she graduated with a distinction in research. She completed internal medicine residency at The Mount Sinai Hospital, followed by a gastroenterology fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where she served as chief fellow. During her fellowship, Dr. Zylberberg undertook advanced training in research methods, culminating in a master's degree in patient-oriented research from Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health.

Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Ozempic explained0:39 Ozempic muscle loss2:15 Natural GLP-1 system2:39 GLP-1 drug side effects4:30 How to avoid Ozempic dangers 10:27 Ozempic truth and the problem with modern medicine11:35 What to do instead of OzempicWhen you lose 50 pounds on Ozempic, you haven't only lost fat; you've also lost muscle. Research has shown that most people gain two-thirds of their weight back within a year of quitting Ozempic. This new weight gain is nearly all fat!Ozempic hijacks a system that already occurs naturally in your body. There are specialized cells in the digestive system called L-cells that increase GLP-1 when stimulated. GLP-1 tells the brain it's no longer hungry, releases insulin, and slows digestion. For many people, the natural GLP-1 system is broken. To activate this system without the use of Ozempic, you'll need to naturally trigger the L-cells and activate GLP-1. This won't work as powerfully as Ozempic, but it can create a significant effect. To do this, consume the following:• Short-chain fatty acids • Apple cider vinegar• Fermented foods • Fiber with each meal• Omega-3 fats • Olive oil• Avocado oil • Amino acids • Bile salts (TUDCA)There are specific types of fiber that help support this process, including inulin found in garlic and onions, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, flax seeds, chia seeds, and avocados. Try replacing salad with sauerkraut to activate GLP-1. Modern medicine does not address root causes, but rather addresses symptoms that occur later in the chain of events. This holds true for Ozempic. Instead of taking Ozempic, try the following:1. Protein and fiber 2. Eliminate starches and sugar from your diet3. Walk after meals4. Consume 1-2 meals per day, no snacking5. Weight trainingDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Women over 40 are the most understudied population in modern medicine. In this powerful and overdue conversation, Darin sits down with Dr. Amy Shah to unpack the massive blind spots in women's health — from perimenopause and menopause to cortisol shifts, brain fog, gut bacteria collapse, muscle loss, and the social isolation epidemic affecting women in midlife. Dr. Shah reveals why hormone labs often don't tell the full story, why 95% of Americans are fiber deficient, how fermented foods regulate inflammation, and why morning sunlight may be one of the most powerful hormone resets available — and it's free. This episode is more than symptom management. It's a blueprint for reclaiming power during one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life.     What You'll Learn Why women weren't required in medical research until 1993 How perimenopause is diagnosed by symptoms — not lab tests The hormonal cascade: hypothalamus → pituitary → ovaries → whole-body effects Why fiber is the missing hormone regulator The 30-30-3 framework: protein, fiber & fermented foods The estrobolome and how gut bacteria regulate estrogen Why cortisol sensitivity increases during perimenopause The circadian reset protocol: morning light & nighttime boundaries Why recovery becomes more important than high-intensity stress The female friendship effect & oxytocin biology Hormone therapy myths — and what the research actually shows Why menopause may actually be a leadership upgrade     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome back Dr. Amy Shah 00:00:29 – Novelty, brain aging & why time "speeds up" 00:02:03 – The hormone cascade: hypothalamus, pituitary & endocrine signaling 00:03:39 – The most understudied population in medicine: women over 40 00:04:11 – Women excluded from research until 1993 00:05:06 – Ambien example: why women metabolize drugs differently 00:08:14 – Cultural silence around menopause 00:09:48 – Anxiety, palpitations, carpal tunnel: unrecognized hormone symptoms 00:11:17 – Gut-brain connection & why nutrition is medicine 00:15:11 – The 30-30-3 method explained 00:16:10 – Why fiber drops during perimenopause 00:17:23 – Simple fiber sources that extend longevity 00:19:00 – Fermented foods & lowering inflammation 00:21:01 – Why Americans lost fermented foods 00:22:26 – Circadian biology: every cell runs on light 00:23:46 – Morning sunlight & hormone regulation 00:26:25 – Late-night eating & insulin resistance 00:28:20 – Cortisol spikes in perimenopause 00:29:41 – Why high achievers crash in midlife 00:31:11 – Walking as cortisol-lowering exercise 00:32:24 – Why hormone labs don't show perimenopause 00:33:38 – Key symptoms: sleep, fat redistribution, brain fog 00:35:24 – The estrobolome: gut bacteria & estrogen recycling 00:36:30 – Gut bacteria change within three days 00:38:38 – Andropause vs menopause differences 00:41:21 – Hormone therapy: what's proven & what's misunderstood 00:44:53 – Peak bone & muscle before 30 00:46:02 – Exercise for longevity vs punishment 00:47:55 – The community & oxytocin effect 00:49:49 – Female friendship & cortisol reduction 00:52:18 – Intergenerational connection & health 00:57:05 – Gut bacteria & proximity effect 01:00:24 – The Grandmother Hypothesis 01:02:15 – Menopause as leadership evolution 01:04:28 – You can build muscle, brain & bone at any age 01:05:16 – Rewriting the narrative for women's health     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Shakeology – Shakeology-All in One Nutrition: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

It's a biological transition that requires new inputs, more recovery, more fiber, more protein, more community, more light. When women understand what's happening inside their bodies, they stop thinking they're "falling apart", and start stepping into power.  

Today, I'm joined by scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating and self-sabotage coach Matty Lansdown for a real conversation about health and weight that goes way deeper than food rules. Matty shares why most of us already know what to do, but still feel stuck, and how the real shift happens when you understand the patterns underneath your choices.  We talk about emotional eating, trauma and self-protection, dopamine loops, and the unsexy truth that sustainable change usually comes from building awareness first, then making small tweaks consistently, without triggering rebellion. In this episode, we explore:  Why it's "not about calories or kale," it's mindset and behavior change Two common roots behind emotional eating: trauma and dopamine-driven self-soothing A simple awareness practice: track what you eat, where you eat, and what you feel "One tweak a week" and why slow change is often the only change that sticks How rebellion gets triggered by rigid plans, and how self-guided empowerment helps Why naming the emotion can quiet a craving (Michelle shares her own "potato chips" moment) Fermented foods, gut health, and how the microbiome can influence your body's set  Obesogens, plastics, and common chemicals that may disrupt metabolism and hormones Resources from this Episode: Connect with Matty Lansdown: Visit Matty's website Matty's Podcast: The Real Weight Loss Coach Matty on Instagram: @the.real.weight.loss.coach   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

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

Vitamin C is well-known for its immune health benefits, but is vitamin C really a vitamin at all? In this video, I'll cover health facts about vitamin C, including the benefits, the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency, and how you can increase your levels.

In today's episode we will be talking about a Russian arrested for assault in Pattaya, a stolen pickup tracked by GPS, an illegal doctor exposed, a bizarre fermented-fish protest in Bangkok, Krabi's Valentine traffic lights, and a US$2.8 billion corporate shake-up in Malaysia.

Hello my curious archaeogastronomers!A brand new episode is out, and it's all about the long history of fermented dairy foodstuffs from the vast regions of Central Asia.Fermented dairy products from Central Asia have been to space! Resilient and nutritious, and good for the bronze age and the space age, are truly interstellar travelers of our civilization! We all know yoghurt and kefir but have you heard of kumis, chortan, gooroot?For this reason I 've employed the expertise and knowledge of Dr Simi Rezai Ghassemi, to tell me all about the amazing, uknown, and life giving fermented dairy products of Central Asia countries, from Azerbaijan, to Iran, all the way to Mongolian steppe! The 4000 year old mummified remains of a woman known as "The Beauty of Xiaohe" have fermented dairy (kefir? cheese?) as necklace. A seemingly unbroken tradition of drying and preserving dairy for the long harsh environments of Central Asia since time immemorial...So who indeed invented the first kefir?

When Is the Best Time to Eat Fermented Foods? Fermented foods were once eaten naturally—at meals, between meals, whenever they were ready. But modern digestion is different, and WHEN you eat fermented foods can matter. In this episode, I share the best times to enjoy fermented foods and why timing can support digestion, blood sugar, and appetite—especially if you're over 40 or just getting started.

Fermented foods are fashionable – kimchi, kefir, kombucha – they're all having a moment, many thousands of years on from where they were first produced. But how much do you know about how they're made? Do you know your SCOBY from your kefir grain? In this episode, fermenting novice Ruth Alexander goes on a quest to find out more about this ancient way of preserving food; how to do it yourself, why you might want to, and what it's doing for our guts.Follow along as she experiments with making her own kefir, and talks to fermentation guru Sandor Katz about how to get started and whether there's anything that can't be fermented. Scientist Professor Gabriel Vinderola explains what's known about the microbes behind it all and how they affect our health while Kheedim Oh and his mum Myung Oh talk about how they've brought the family recipe for kimchi to a US audience via their business, Mama O's Kimchi. (Kimchi on pizza anyone?) And with the help of Adam Goldwater from UK based Loving Foods Fermented, Ruth discovers how kombucha is made, and the alien like SCOBY powering the process. Produced by Lexy O'Connor. The sound engineer was Andrew Mills.If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk.

This episode is a feed drop from Transmissions with Jason Woodbury from Aquarium Drunkard. Here's their original show notes:This week, we have an exceedingly rare interview with Jason Martin, of California dream pop band Starflyer 59. Fermented in the nascent Riverside dream pop underground alongside his brother Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric in the early '90s, Martin's band SF59 released its debut album, Silver, 30 years ago in 1994 on the fledgling Tooth & Nail label. His latest, Lust for Gold, finds him winking knowingly at the title of his 1995 album Gold, a record routinely cited as one of the best shoegaze albums of all-time.Incorporating elements of the band's feedback-drenched early sound, the new album finds the years catching up with a guy who has been singing about being old since he was in his early 20s. From the band's monochromatic album covers to Martin's notoriously sparse interviews—check out the one we did at Aquarium Drunkard for an example—he's always preferred to let the music do the talking. But this talk finds him settling in for a longform chat about his history, his songwriting practice, how familial connections bind his musical projects, and much, much more. Joined by guest co-host/interlocuteur Andrew Horton, this conversation is the most revealing interview to date with Jason Martin of Starflyer 59.---Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi explains why heart disease is not caused by cholesterol, but by silent inflammation and damage to the arterial lining. Ben breaks down how plaque actually forms, why standard cholesterol labs often miss real cardiovascular risk, and how insulin spikes, oxidized LDL, chronic stress, and gut-derived toxins quietly damage blood vessels over time. He introduces a science-backed “artery repair plate” designed to restore endothelial function and calm inflammation using four key foods: Arugula or beets to boost nitric oxide and improve blood flow Wild-caught salmon to reduce inflammation and stabilize plaque Fermented vegetables to lower endotoxins and support gut-artery signaling Extra virgin olive oil to prevent LDL oxidation and improve arterial flexibility The episode also covers which lab markers actually matter, common foods and habits that damage arteries, and a simple three-day arterial reset protocol to support long-term heart health. Ben emphasizes that the body is not broken. When the right signals are present and inflammation is removed, healing becomes natural.

Fermented foods are more popular than ever, but what's the science? Dan Saladino explores the latest research into fermentation and the many health claims made for fermented food. Featuring the gut microbiome expert Tim Spector and fermentation expert Robin Sherriff.Produced and presented by Dan Saladino.

The Year of the Snake is coming to a close. This is the perfect time to shed that outgrown skin. We must let go of the old, heavy energy holding us back if we're going to meet the fast-moving energy that the Year of the Horse is bound to bring. One of the greatest drains on our energy comes from comparing ourselves to others. Every time we measure our worth against someone else, we snuff out our own light.
