In this episode of Mind Pump, Sal, Adam, and Justin break down why cutting body fat isn't always the best strategy; especially for women already around 22% body fat, and explain why building muscle often produces a leaner, healthier physique. They discuss the physiological effects of dieting too lean, including hormonal disruptions, reduced metabolism, and performance declines. The conversation also explores strength gains, muscle memory, recovery, sleep optimization, and the surprising cognitive benefits of creatine. Later, the hosts highlight the impact of good coaching and education in the fitness industry while sharing stories from clients seeing life-changing results. In the listener Q&A, they help callers with physique competition prep, weight-loss plateaus, strength programming, postpartum training, and balancing fitness with a newborn. The episode wraps with practical advice on building muscle, improving metabolism, and creating sustainable long-term fitness habits.

Stacy and clinical nutritionist Jessica Brown welcome you back for part two of this discussion! They encourage you to start with part one, GLP-1 Medications Beyond Weight Loss: What the Science Actually Shows About Semaglutide. In this episode they explore more of the science behind GLP-1 medications, including their effects on metabolic health, inflammation, appetite regulation, and long-term health. They also unpack the stigma, diet culture narratives, and judgment surrounding semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications and what evolving science means for how we think about weight and health. Content warning: This post discusses weight gain, weight loss, dieting, and disordered eating.

Confidence is everywhere right now. It's in affirmations, vision boards, therapy sessions, and motivational quotes. But none of that means anything if you haven't built proof that you can actually do hard things. In this Habits & Hustle episode, we get into why confidence can't be affirmed, it has to be earned, and why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy. I break down how real self-belief is built through reps, discipline, and physical evidence, not just positive self-talk. We also talk about why boring is what actually works and the power of “do it anyway” when motivation disappears. If you're ready to stop consuming confidence content and start building it, tune in. What's Discussed (02:25) Why intense workouts spike hunger and quietly sabotage fat loss (04:32) How strict meal timing reduces food noise and overeating (06:59) Why people gain weight in happy relationships (08:47) GLP-1 drugs and the role of “food noise” in weight control (11:40) Why severe calorie restriction backfires and slows metabolism (15:34) Why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy (16:42) Confidence is earned through hard reps, not affirmations (22:29) Why boring daily discipline is the real success strategy Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

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.

Once a relatively obscure class of drugs used for people with diabetes, GLP-1s have now shown an impressive ability to treat obesity, which affects over 100 million Americans. Horizons moderator William Brangham explores the great promise of the drugs and the potential concerns surrounding them with Dr. Jody Dushay, Dr. Rekha B. Kumar, Dr. Anna Lembke and Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly.

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are often talked about as weight-loss drugs, but the science is revealing a much bigger story. In the first of this two-part discussion, Stacy welcomes back clinical nutritionist and author Jessica Brown to explore what research is actually showing about GLP-1 medications and whole-body health. They unpack emerging science around inflammation, immune regulation, metabolic health, and gut function, and why these medications may impact far more than weight. Stacy shares her own experience starting a GLP-1 medication and the mindset shift that comes with re-examining long-held beliefs about diet culture, intuitive eating, and health.

It’s another wild ride on The Big Bad Broadcast as the crew dives into a hurricane of hilarious side roads and sunny chaos. From crowded Florida beaches and spring-break spectacle to a curious wooden magic prop straight out of a magician’s dream, nothing’s off-limits this week. The guys swap stories about shark sightings, strange paranormal videos, waterfront dining adventures, and even the odd responsibilities of keeping your dog calm during fireworks. Between laughs, they hit deeper notes on evolving tech in media, the history of electric cars, and how comedians grind their craft night after night. Add in talk of GLP‑1 weight-loss meds, airport security tangles, and the aftermath of Florida’s latest cold snap, and you’ve got an hour that’s equal parts wild, relatable, and refreshingly real. Tune in for beach banter, big laughs, and just enough wisdom to make you nod mid‑laugh.

It is a special midweek drop and the group chat is packed. This episode covers the forces quietly reshaping the economy right now — from AI slashing business costs overnight, to GLP-1 drugs gutting the snack industry, to private credit markets showing their first real cracks. The guys break down what is actually happening beneath the headlines, why sports viewership is at an all-time high, which consumer brands are quietly hitting $10 billion, and why the stock market may be setting up for a violent rally. No fluff, no filler — just the conversations happening in every serious group chat right now.   Topics Covered This Episode: 1. AI Is Replacing Your Entire Software Stack How using Claude cut one company's AWS bill from $9,500 a month down to a projected $500 — and what that means for every business owner still paying for legacy SaaS tools. Plus: Lovable jumps from a $300M to $400M run rate in a single month, and Anthropic adds $6 billion in run rate in two months. The AI economy is not coming — it is already here. 2. The GLP-1 Effect Is Hitting Corporate Earnings Campbell Soup's snack division dropped 6% in a single quarter with no obvious explanation other than 30 million Americans now on GLP-1 medications. The guys explore the downstream ripple effects — grocery aisles, fast food, supplement brands, and what retailers like Kroger do when people simply stop snacking. 3. Private Credit Is Cracking Blackstone, Blue Owl, and Cliffwater are all facing record redemption requests after two major auto suppliers backed by private credit funds went under. Is this an economy problem, a bad-lending problem, or a panic problem? The guys break it all down and explain why it matters even if you have never heard of private credit. 4. Sports Is on an Unprecedented Run Every sport — NFL, NBA, MLS, World Baseball Classic, UFC — is posting record ratings. The guys explain why gambling, fragmented media, and the death of cable news are all fueling the surge, and why the Tom Brady flag football league and the Gronk vs. Logan Paul beef are the perfect example of how modern sports entertainment actually works. 5. The $10 Billion Consumer Brands Nobody Is Talking About Quince hits a $10 billion valuation doing nearly $2 billion in revenue by going factory-direct to consumers. The guys break down why consumer investing is back, who is losing market share, and what the rise of brands like Keats and Whatnot means for traditional retail. 6. Millionaire Taxes, Fraud, and the Wealth Exodus Washington State's new 9.9% millionaire tax, the staggering scale of hospice care fraud in Los Angeles, and why billionaires — and now regular millionaires — are leaving high-tax states for Nevada, Texas, and Florida. The argument is simple: clean up the fraud first, and you would not need to raise taxes at all. 7. The Stock Market Rally Nobody Wants to Miss Goldman Sachs is calling for an extreme stock rally. The guys explain why $8.5 trillion sitting in money markets has nowhere else to go, why the US stock market is the only investable market left in the world, and why owning assets — not just earning a salary — is the only play that makes sense right now.   Group Chat News drops every week.

Are you following "standard medical advice" only to find yourself stalled, exhausted, or racing to the kitchen at 3 AM? In this episode of the 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel pull back the curtain on the Great Salt Scam. We dive deep into why the standard RDA for sodium is often a "metabolic death sentence" for those on a ketogenic or carnivore lifestyle.

In this episode, we discuss: The Mineral Vacuum: How 5G, chronic stress, and cortisol literally dump your magnesium and potassium levels. Big Pharma vs. Your Health: Why a $1.50 mineral fix isn't profitable for a system built on "forever meds" like GLP-1 shots. The "Pufferfish" Effect: Why drinking salt water without plain water can backfire. The 48-Hour Restart: Our simple, two-step plan to get your electrolytes back on track and break through a plateau.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18. After Athena's elimination, they realize that Juicy has sent home her entire drag family. They question whether Athena still had more to show and start predicting who might take Miss Congeniality. The queens face the reading challenge and the “Drag in a Bag” design challenge, and Monét shares how she prepared for the reading challenge on her season. They discuss whether contestants knew which bags to pick, if Kenya is relying too much on the same punchline, and whether Ciara might have sabotaged her bag. On the runway, they review the looks, react to guest judge Iman, and weigh in on Discord's safety pin solution, Jane's scrap dress, and the best looks of the week. Plus, the queens must name who should go home next, and Bob and Monét wonder why Kenya is still lip syncing without knowing the words.

No one understands what it takes to navigate life and career transitions better than NFL veteran, sports broadcast host, and content creator Isaac Rochell. He joins Vic to get real about navigating life after football, redefining who you are beyond your job, and confronting the food and body image struggles men rarely talk about. The former Notre Dame standout opens up about life in the league, from tough coaching dynamics and the constant fear of getting cut to walking away from the NFL and building a new career in media.

The Ozempic weight loss drug promises rapid weight loss, but at what cost? In this video, find out why I would never take Ozempic, the Ozempic dangers they never tell you about, and the semaglutide side effects that will make you think twice about taking Ozempic. 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.

The boys talk about a Cass Elliot biopic in the works and an article that cautions GLP-1 drugs may lower libido. Then in honor of our 250th episode, the we revisit one of our oldest and most popular fold related topic.

GLP-1s have rapidly increased in popularity, Due to their seemingly remarkable ability to facilitate weight loss. These findings have led to increased interest in understanding whether GLP-1s might be useful for changing other behaviors, such as as substance use. In this episode, Dr. Joseph Schacht discusses the science behind GLP-1 medications and their potential as treatments for substance use disorders, including recent research, mechanisms, and future directions. Dr. Joseph Schacht is an Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Division of Addiction Science, Prevention, and Treatment in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado Anschutz.

Have you been told your weight is your problem and that weight loss is the solution? What if everything you have been taught about the number on the scale, diet, and exercise is not just wrong but actively keeping you from becoming weight healthy? In this conversation on Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa sits down with Ashley Koff, registered dietitian and author of the new book Your Best Shot: The Personalized System for Optimal Weight Health, GLP-1 Shot or Not. Ashley shares her own weight health story, from being bullied as a child for her belly to discovering that her body did not have what it needed to run better, and how that revelation changed the entire trajectory of her life and career. This conversation covers the four pillars of better nutrition (balance, quantity, timing, and quality), the pizza metaphor for building a personalized plan, and why digestion and hydration are the crust, not the sauce. Because weight health is not about restriction.

After Friday's news that Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research Chief Vinay Prasad will leave the FDA—again—at the end of April, stocks for several rare disease drug developers popped. UniQure, in particular, was up 51% in premarket trading on Monday. Prasad in a meeting last Thursday with select journalists called the biotech's Huntington's treatment AMT-130 a “failed” therapy, according to STAT News. Shares of Replimune and REGENXBIO—which have suffered rejections during the past year—also rose.One person who is not impressed with the plethora of rare disease drug rejections of late—H.C. Wainwright said in a note Tuesday that there have been at least five cell and gene therapies they believe could have been approved under prior FDA officials—is Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. Tuesday, Bloomberg News reported that Johnson has launched an investigation into these recent denials.Johnson called the FDA's request that uniQure conduct a sham surgery-controlled trial of AMT-130 “bureaucratic idiocy,” according to the publication. Meanwhile, uniQure and the FDA appear to be on different pages regarding the design of this prospective trial, with uniQure Chief Medical Officer Walid Abi-Saab referring to a 10-12 hour surgery during which [burr] holes would be drilled in patients' skulls and Prasad claiming on a media call last week that it would require only “one to three nicks in the scalp.”In other news, no episode of The Weekly would be complete without our weekly weight loss segment. Roche and Zealand Pharma's amylin analog fell short of Eli Lilly's rival candidate eloralintide; AbbVie reported what analysts called “competitive” results, with its amylin analog eliciting nearly 10% weight loss at 13 weeks in a Phase 1 trial; and Regeneron touted a much-needed Phase 3 win for Hansoh-partnered dual GLP-1/GIPR agonist olatorepatide in China. Beyond data, Novo Nordisk and Hims & Hers are together again, with Novo striking a deal to sell its injectable and oral GLP-1 medicines through the telehealth provider.Elsewhere on the business side of biopharma, experts are reporting a cut-throat atmosphere behind doors on the M&A front as the supply of companies available to buy dwindles.

Let's see how much we can pack in! Today, we're diving into the egg controversy and what omega-6 testing, feed supplementation, and egg license numbers actually mean. We also discuss insulin resistance, dark circles and eyesight after 40, salt choices, and share nuanced thoughts on GLP-1s. It's a big-picture conversation about food transparency, metabolism, and midlife shifts.Timestamps:[1:35] Welcome [12:10] Egg conversion[30:07] Can we do a dive into insulin resistance? It sounds easy, but it's overwhelming I'm not sure where to start.[46:21] I have dark circles under the eyes every morning after waking up even if I feel like I got the best sleep ever. Is there something deeper happening?[56:07] Now that I'm 40, I'm realizing my eyesight is not what it was. Are there any ways to heal your eyes without getting glasses, will readers make my eyesight worse, and I would love recommendations for readers with blue light blockers.[1:05:19] I still use table salt with iodine because I'm not sure of another sufficient source of iodine.

We're always trying something — new supplements, beauty hacks, sleep routines, shapewear — but today we're going deeper. Because getting “snatched” isn't just about how you look. It's about feeling strong, energized, confident, and comfortable in your own skin in whatever season you're in. The truth is, what worked in your 20s doesn't always work now. Hormones shift. Skin changes. Sleep changes. Muscle changes. Confidence evolves. So instead of fighting it, we've built a toolkit that evolves with us. In this episode, we're sharing what's actually stuck — from creatine, magnesium, colostrum, and GLP-1 transparency to bone broth, muscle-building, sleep fixes, and collagen support. We get into red carpet prep, undergarments that truly smooth and support, eye-brightening tricks, red light therapy, and the beauty tools that are actually worth it. Including one of our current favorites: ThirdLove. Known for their personalized fit (including half cup sizes from AA–H) and seriously comfortable designs, ThirdLove pieces are the kind of basics that quietly make your day better - no adjusting straps, no digging bands, just great fit and quality that actually delivers.

In clinical practice effective nutrition, exercise, and obesity care is rarely about identifying the single "best" plan on paper. Instead, sustainable change depends on behavioral psychology: understanding the person's context, motivation, barriers, and patterns, then co-designing practical steps that can actually be implemented in real life. David Creel PhD, RD is a clinical psychologist and registered dietitian working in weight management at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Creel discusses how clinicians can bridge the gap between "optimal recommendations" and what is most likely to create actual behaviour change. This includes a combination of using collaborative communication, self-monitoring, skill-building, relapse prevention planning, and a multidisciplinary framework. Behavioral and psychological factors shape food choices, physical activity, and adherence far more than knowing the newest guideline. In addition, the modern obesity treatment landscape (including GLP-1 receptor agonists) increases the need for structured behavior-change support: people may experience new hope and new fear (especially fear of weight regain), and the key clinical question becomes how to use these tools to build durable habits and reduce relapse risk over the long term.

Recurring revenue sounds smart. Memberships, prepaid packages, and gift cards can create a surge in cash flow for med spas — but without proper financial tracking, they can distort your profit margins, inflate revenue perception, and create operational risk.  Listen here to learn how aesthetic practices can misinterpret cash injections as true growth — and what to track instead.  If you're operating 1–2 locations and planning to scale, this conversation about healthy cash flow management for your aesthetics practice is critical.  Are Gift Cards Creating False Revenue Expectations for Your Practice?  Whether you run a med spa or a similar practice, you'll learn why simply chasing upfront cash isn't always the ticket to success—and how these models can create a false sense of profitability, throw off your capacity planning, and even compromise your ability to deliver services in the future. I'm revealing how a CFO tracks different income streams, forecasts cash flow, and helps you build sustainable financial habits, so you don't end up borrowing from your future business.  Prepaid revenue can:  Inflate top-line sales  Hide future labor costs  Distort margins  Create scheduling unpredictability  Mask capacity constraints  "The issue with this, however, is when not done well or not done with this in mind, you're putting yourself at risk for a very distorted view of your sales, of your numbers, and not really making sound business decisions based on good data." - Shannon Weinstein  To cut to the chase, cash in the bank does not equal earned revenue.  Cash Injection vs. Sustainable Growth: Making Better Business Decisions  We're seeing a huge trend in med spas and wellness practices: everyone's jumping on the recurring revenue train with memberships, subscriptions, gift cards, and prepaid packages. It sounds great on the surface—more cash in the bank, better sales numbers, right? But here are a few things you'll learn in this episode that might change your mind:  Why gift card revenue is a future liability, not pure profit  How prepaid packages distort med spa profit margins  Why capacity utilization matters more than cash balance  How to segment revenue categories properly in QuickBooks  Why you should reconsider commission structures on prepaid sales  How memberships affect enterprise value and predictability  Protecting Your Aesthetics Practice from Recurring Revenue Traps and Misleading Data  Collecting money upfront (especially around holidays with gift cards) can feel like winning. Who doesn't love a surge in revenue and a healthy bank balance? The catch is, those numbers don't always paint an honest picture. You might be thinking your marketing is working wonders, but really, your sales are getting propped up by gift card purchases. When it comes time to deliver the actual services, your costs catch up—and you don't have new income to cover them.  If your med spa offers memberships, gift cards, or prepaid packages:  Segment revenue by category (services, retail, memberships, gift cards, prepaid packages)  Track redemption timing based on historical data  Build a 6-week cash flow forecast including expected redemptions  Measure revenue per provider and revenue per square foot  Monitor capacity utilization instead of celebrating temporary cash spikes  Evaluate LTV to CAC separately from prepaid sales  I compare it to the GLP-1 weight loss trend: quick results, but they don't last unless your habits are solid. The same goes for business cash injections. If you don't have the right financial habits, you get a false sense of achievement that fades fast.  Memberships and Prepaid Packages: Boost or Bust for Your Med Spa?  If your monthly numbers look amazing, but you're just selling future services, don't rush to expand or boost sales goals. Before expanding, make sure your growth is real by evaluating the following:  Are you mistaking cash injections for sustainable demand?  Is capacity actually full — or artificially inflated?  Are membership liabilities masking thin operating margins?  Buyers and lenders look for predictable earned revenue — not volatile cash surges.  Essential Metrics for Med Spas: Beyond Cash in the Bank  If you're unsure whether your med spa's cash flow is sustainable — or distorted — start with the Financial Scaling Playbook for Aesthetics.

All the instructions it's very easy in the show notes. Okay.. our top story this week: XX A biotech company developing stem-cell treatments for type 1 diabetes has announced a new research partnership aimed at improving the survival of transplanted insulin-producing cells. NewcelX, a clinical-stage company based in Switzerland, said it will work with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to study a combination approach. The goal is to help transplanted cells survive longer in the body by reducing the immune response that often leads to transplant rejection. If successful, the strategy could support longer-lasting islet cell replacement and move the therapy closer to becoming a functional treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. However, the companies have not yet released any safety or effectiveness data on the combination treatment, and financial details of the partnership were not disclosed. The research agreement is focused on exploring whether combining stem-cell-derived islets with targeted immune therapy can lead to longer-lasting cell transplants and improved outcomes for people with type 1 diabetes. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/ELDN/newcel-x-announces-strategic-collaboration-with-eledon-d10l1vqdofls.html XX Debate this week in the UK on whether testing for type 1 diabetes should become mandatory when children present with symptoms. The Westminster Hall debate, scheduled for 9 March, will consider calls for routine testing of babies, toddlers and young children who show signs associated with the condition. It follows a petition backing the move, dubbed 'Lyla's Law', which passed 121,000 signatures in December 2025. The campaign was launched by John Story after his two-year-old daughter, Lyla, died from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) on 3 May 2025, 16 hours after being diagnosed with tonsillitis. https://www.nursinginpractice.com/clinical/diabetes-and-endocrinology/diabetes-community-urged-to-call-on-mps-to-attend-lylas-law-debate/ XX     A new study suggests that people with gestational diabetes who adjust their own insulin doses may reach healthy blood sugar levels faster than those whose doses are adjusted by clinicians. Half of the participants were assigned to adjust their own insulin doses using a simple rule: increase the dose by two units if fasting blood glucose was above 95 mg/dL, decrease it by two units if it dropped below 70 mg/dL, and keep the same dose if levels fell in between. The other half had their insulin adjusted by clinicians through weekly reviews. By the end of pregnancy, both groups had similar average fasting glucose levels before delivery: about 89 mg/dL in the patient-led group and 90 mg/dL in the clinician-led group. However, those adjusting their own insulin reached their blood sugar targets more quickly, averaging 1.8 weeks compared with 2.5 weeks for those managed by clinicians. The study also found lower risks of certain complications among the patient-led group. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/self-insulin-dosing-leads-control-gestational-diabetes-2026a1000729 XX   A blockbuster anti-obesity and diabetes drug could cost as little as $3 per month to manufacture once it goes off patent later this month, researchers said Friday, providing a major opportunity to boost health in low and middle-income countries.   Semaglutide, the active molecule in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy will lose patent protection in countries such as Brazil, China, and India later this month, and researchers identified 150 countries where it was never patented. These researchers estimated it will cost as little as $3 to produce a month's supply of semaglutide, which in its branded form sells for around $200 a month in the United States. Another of the study's authors, Professor Francois Venter at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, said drugs to treat HIV, TB, malaria, and hepatitis are now available at prices close to production costs but still sufficient for generic manufacturers to operate. https://www.sciencealert.com/weight-loss-drugs-could-cost-just-3-a-month-to-make-as-patents-end XX Here in the US the FDA is stepping up its efforts to combat widespread GLP-1 drug compounding. In its latest offensive, the agency has unleashed a fresh set of 30 warning letters targeting telehealth companies it says make "false or misleading" claims about compounded versions of popular obesity drugs. The FDA says Compounded drugs can be important for overcoming shortages or meeting unique patient needs—but compounders should not try to compound drugs in a way that circumvents FDA's approval process." https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/fda-ramps-crackdown-glp-1-drug-compounders-fresh-batch-30-warning-letters XX   Check your infusion sets for an issue: Unomedical, a subsidiary of Convatec and a supplier of insulin infusion sets to diabetes tech firms, has received a warning letter from the FDA. Inspectors raised concerns with leaking infusion sets, following a regulatory assessment of Unomedical's facility in Reynosa, Mexico, last summer. Unomedical supplies infusion sets to insulin pump makers including Medtronic, Tandem Diabetes Care and Beta Bionics. In a Feb. 3 statement, Convatec said the letter focuses on reporting procedures and quality protocols and does not place restrictions on producing, marketing or distributing any of Unomedical's products.  Unomedical told the FDA in its responses that it plans to conduct a retrospective review of complaints involving serious injury or death by January and conduct additional training on complaint handling by May.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-warns-insulin-infusion-set-maker-unomedical-over-leaks-mishandled-comp/813503/ XX Nearly four in ten people with type 2 diabetes do not take their medications as prescribed, according to a new research review published in Diabetologia in November 2025.   Researchers examined existing studies on medication adherence, including how often patients miss doses, why it happens, and what strategies may help. They estimated that about 38% of patients with type 2 diabetes are not fully adherent to their medications.   Adherence rates vary depending on the type of medication. About 63% to 68% of patients take oral glucose-lowering drugs as directed, while adherence drops to 43% to 54% for injectable GLP-1 medications and 41% to 64% for insulin.   Poor adherence can lead to serious consequences. One retrospective study cited in the review found that patients who consistently took their glucose-lowering medications had a 31% lower risk of hospitalization or emergency department visits.   The review also highlighted ways to improve adherence. Simplifying medication routines can help, such as using fixed-dose combination pills, which combine multiple drugs into a single tablet. Studies show these combinations are linked to better adherence and improved blood sugar control.   Pharmacists can also play an important role by providing education, reviewing medications, setting up reminders, and helping patients organize their treatment plans. The researchers noted that support should be tailored to each patient. Older adults may benefit from simpler systems and caregiver support, while younger patients may respond better to digital tools like app-based reminders.   The authors also found that measuring adherence is challenging and recommend using multiple methods, such as pharmacy records, patient interviews, and objective tests when possible.   Overall, the review concludes that personalized, multi-step approaches lasting at least three months are most effective in helping people with type 2 diabetes stay on track with their medications. https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/type-2-diabetes-medication-adherence-rates-remain-low-and-pharmacists-can-help XX New clinical trial shows metformin does not directly reverse insulin resistance in people with type 1 diabetes. Instead, it lowers the total amount of insulin required to keep blood glucose levels within the recommended range. The findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge long-held assumptions about how metformin works in type 1 diabetes. The results may help physicians refine treatment strategies and reduce the daily demands placed on people who rely solely on insulin therapy. "Insulin resistance is a growing problem in type 1 diabetes. Not only does it make regulating blood sugar levels difficult, but it is an underappreciated risk factor for heart disease, which is one of the biggest causes of health complications and deaths in those with type 1 diabetes," says Dr. Jennifer Snaith, endocrinologist and co-lead of the study.   https://scitechdaily.com/groundbreaking-trial-reveals-unexpected-benefit-of-metformin-in-type-1-diabetes/   Tech news ahead, including updates from Sensonics, Dexcom & Tandem.. right after this…. Back ot the wnews.. XX Sensonics shares that it's secured FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) for its self-powered, battery-enabled Gemini sensor. It enrolled the first patients in the IDE trial and expects to complete that in the second half of 2026. Gemini builds on the implanted CGM to put the transmitter under the skin as well as the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q4-2025-ide-gemini-cgm/ XX Medtronic Diabetes is now officially MiniMid, a stand alone public company. Medtronic  acquired MiniMed 25 years ago announed last May that it would spin its diabetes business off. In their statement the company points out that MiniMed is the only diabetes tech company to sell both insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.   https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/medtronics-diabetes-unit-minimed-valued-at-53-billion-as-shares-fall-in-nasdaq-debut-4547518 XX Kevin Sayer heads back to Dexcom.. The former CEO is back in his position as executive chair of the Board, he'd stepped away for a medical leave. Dexcom (Nasdaq:DXCM) announced today in an SEC filing that former CEO Kevin Sayer has returned from his leave of absence. Sayer's return to the board comes just days after Dexcom announced a new board member.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Jay Campbell (@jaycampbell333), health optimization expert, author, and founder of BioLongevity Labs, to explore the powerful intersection of peptides, metabolic health, and fertility. Jay shares how therapeutic peptides like HCG, HMG, and GLP compounds can support male fertility, insulin resistance, and metabolic balance when used correctly. We discuss the rise of GLP-1 medications, why microdosing matters, and how inflammation and visceral fat are major contributors to declining fertility rates. Beyond the physical, we also dive into mindset, consciousness, and how belief systems impact healing and reproductive outcomes. This conversation bridges cutting-edge science with empowered awareness, and offers a new perspective on fertility optimization in the modern world. Key Takeaways: Therapeutic peptides such as HCG and HMG can help stimulate FSH and LH to support male fertility. Chronic inflammation and visceral fat are major drivers of insulin resistance and declining fertility. GLP-1 medications can be helpful tools when microdosed and combined with proper lifestyle habits. Insulin-controlled living and metabolic flexibility are foundational for hormonal balance. Sustainable fat loss requires resistance training, adequate protein intake, and hormonal optimization. Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors contribute to the global fertility decline. Mindset and consciousness play a significant role in healing, longevity, and reproductive success. Guest Bio:  Jay Campbell (@jaycampbell333) is a global authority in hormone optimization, peptides, and human longevity, a five-time international bestselling author, and the co-founder of BioLongevity Labs—often called "the Amazon for biohackers." For more than two decades, he has led the field of metabolic health and anti-aging science, helping millions enhance vitality, repair their biology, and take control of their health.

➡️ Get the full episode breakdown at Biology of Trauma® Podcast – Episode 164: Could Your Trauma Be Disrupting Your Metabolism? The Weight Health Conversation What if the reason your body is holding onto weight has nothing to do with what you're eating — and everything to do with hormones you may not have heard about?  In this episode, Dr. Aimie talks with registered dietitian and author Ashley Koff to unpack the hidden world of weight health hormones: GLP-1, leptin, ghrelin, and more — and why optimizing them matters for everybody, not just people trying to lose weight. What you'll hear will change how you see your body — not as something failing you, but as a sophisticated ecosystem sending you signals worth decoding. Ashley reveals why 93% of Americans are metabolically dysregulated, how trauma and chronic stress directly suppress the hormones that regulate metabolism and body composition, and why "weight loss" as a goal is actually working against your biology. Whether you're curious about GLP-1 medications, perimenopause weight changes, or just why the scale never seems to match your effort — this conversation will shift everything. In This Episode You'll Learn:  (00:00): Introducing the connection - weight, metabolism and GLP-1 (03:06): The weight-trauma connection: Why the body holds on despite every effort (04:04):  What “weight health” means biologically — and why weight loss as a goal misses the point (07:17) The incretin discovery: How GLP-1, leptin, ghrelin, and seven other weight health hormones regulate your biology (10:53).Why 93% of Americans show signs of suboptimal metabolic health — and what that actually means for you (11:36) Ashley's pizza framework: The right sequence for assessing your metabolic ecosystem (16:00) How to assess your weight health hormones — and why a blood test alone won't tell you what you need to know (24:03) Perimenopause and menopause: Why digestion fails first — and how that drives belly fat and brain fog (31:25) Learned behaviors vs. hormone imbalance: How to tell what is biology and what is a survival strategy from childhood (38:33) Where to start: Ashley's first step for anyone wanting to optimize weight health (41:52) The deliciousness signal: Why a “seven or above” is a physiologic mechanism, not a preference (45:08) Ashley's final message — where to find (her book) Your Best Shot and her clinical resources Resources/Guides: Your Best Shot by Ashley Koff, RD: The Personalized System for Optimal   Weight Health — GLP-1 Shot or Not Ashley Koff's website — For more on digestive, metabolic, and hormone health optimization The Biology of Trauma®  Book by Dr. Aimie Apigian — Where you can find the framework for finding your block in Chapter 12 Free Guide: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma by Dr. Aimie Apigian Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 56 — Hormones: A Portal Into Our Stored Trauma with Dr. Aimie Apigian Episode 75 — Fear Stored in the Gut: Attachment, Relational Trauma & Solutions for the Hyper-Sensitive Gut Episode 82 — Using Biological Rhythms to Recover From Trauma with Dr. Leslie Korn Episode 138 — Why Your Body Holds On When Your Mind Has Healed Episode 151 — Why Healed Trauma Returns in Perimenopause: Chinese Medicine Lens with Dr. Lorne Brown

The Most Powerful Drug Ever? The GLP-3 Revolution ExplainedWhat if the most powerful drug ever created is already here, and we're not fully prepared to use it correctly?In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, Ben Brown sits down with Jay Campbell, five-time international best-selling author and leading expert in hormonal optimization, performance enhancement, and longevity science, to unpack the GLP-3 revolution.Jay explains why Retatrutide, the newest GLP drug in development, is already being forecasted as “the greatest drug of all time” — and how it may fundamentally redefine fat loss, metabolic health, and longevity.But this conversation goes deeper than hype.We explore the biomedical revolution unfolding right now, how GLP-1, GLP-2, and GLP-3 drugs actually work, why most people are using them incorrectly, and the difference between strategic microdosing and reckless overdosing.Jay breaks down:• Why Retatrutide could potentially end obesity• Why dosing strategy changes everything• How GLP drugs influence appetite, inflammation, brain signaling, and metabolic pathways• Why foundation matters more than pharmaceuticals• The psychological and physiological implications of long-term use• What the next decade of metabolic medicine may look likeThis is not a surface-level fat loss discussion. It's a conversation about discernment, responsibility, and how to use powerful tools without becoming dependent on them.If GLP-3 truly represents a biomedical revolution, the real question becomes: Are we ready for it?Tune in now to understand the science behind GLP-3, Retatrutide, metabolic optimization, and the future of human performance.Timestamps00:00 – Retatrutide Is GLP-301:12 – “The Greatest Drug of All Time?”03:40 – GLP-1 vs GLP-2 vs GLP-3 Explained07:15 – Appetite Suppression vs Metabolic Rewiring12:20 – The Dosing Problem in Clinical Medicine18:30 – Microdosing vs High Clinical Doses22:45 – Can Retatrutide End Obesity?26:00 – Why Foundation Still Wins: Sleep, Protein, Resistance Training30:10 – Brain Chemistry, Addiction, and GLP Effects34:20 – Biomarkers, Inflammation & Metabolic Health39:50 – Rebound Weight Gain and Microdose Strategy44:30 – The Biomedical Revolution47:10 – Overreach vs Optimization52:00 – Where to Connect with JayConnect with Jay CampbellWebsite: https://jaycampbell.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaycampbell333Links & ResourcesConnect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgTYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoachingBook Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/

Send a textHealthcare is colliding with technology faster than most people realize.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., I sit down with analyst Rajiv Leventhal, who covers the intersection of healthcare, pharma, and tech, to unpack three forces reshaping the system at once: AI, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, and the mental health impact of digital life.We start with AI as a health tool. Nearly a quarter of ChatGPT's global weekly users now use it for health-related prompts. That's not a niche behavior. It's a mainstream one. The question isn't whether people will turn to AI for medical guidance. They already are.The real tension is trust and liability. General-purpose AI tools aren't bound by HIPAA in the same way healthcare providers are. Yet they're increasingly acting as digital concierges — answering late-night pediatric questions, explaining lab results, and helping people prepare for appointments in a system where access is strained.And that system is strained. Even in major cities, patients can wait months — sometimes a year — to see specialists. When access gaps widen, alternative tools step in. AI isn't replacing doctors. It's filling holes.We then turn to GLP-1 drugs and the weight-loss explosion. What began as diabetes treatment became a cultural and commercial wave driven by social media, FDA approvals, and aggressive advertising. But beneath the surface is a regulatory gray market of compounded versions, patent battles, and telehealth platforms monetizing demand.Finally, we tackle social media's impact on mental health. The evidence linking heavy use — especially among teens — to anxiety and depression is growing, even if causation remains complex. Is this a regulation problem? A parental problem? A public health issue? Or another example of technology moving faster than governance?This episode isn't about hype.It's about what happens when broken systems create openings — and tech companies move into the space.Because when trust erodes and access declines, people don't wait.They improvise.

Are your supplements silently damaging your liver and sabotaging your metabolism? In this eye-opening episode, Lisa sits down with health expert Sara Banta to expose the dark side of today's supplement overload — from Amazon knockoffs to trendy peptides and GLP-1 medications. Sara shares her personal health crisis, when her liver enzymes skyrocketed to dangerous levels, and explains why liver health is the true foundation of fat loss, hormone balance, thyroid function, and energy. They break down iodine deficiency, copper imbalance, hair loss, food noise, fatty liver disease, and why weight-loss drugs don't fix the root cause. If you're taking handfuls of supplements, struggling with metabolism, or wondering whether peptides and NAD are right for you — this conversation will shift your perspective.    

Drs. Petri and Woolfson review the American College of Rheumatology Convergence 2025 data that suggest belimumab might lower mortality in SLE compared with traditional oral immunosuppressants, supporting earlier biologic use. They also discuss an observational study in lupus nephritis that links GLP-1 agonists to better kidney, survival, and cardiovascular outcomes than SGLT2 inhibitors, particularly in overweight patients.

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.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Monét asserts her +1 privileges as Bob's platonic life partner while campaigning to attend award shows with him. They talk about Monét chasing a long-time dream, Bob's feelings about acting for film, and their shared love of unexpected moments in TV and movies when actors break character. Monét is still upset about her mom asking Bob to buy her alcohol, and they wonder if the studio is slowly turning into a club. The conversation turns to plagiarism in drag as they discuss jokes, numbers, and parodies that may have been “borrowed” by other queens, and whether Bob's looks inspire superstars. Plus, the difference between stadiums and arenas, high school rivalries, and whether there is an Uptown Atlanta.

Peptides are everywhere right now—touted as tools for weight loss, muscle growth, faster recovery, and even longevity. But what are they actually, and do they live up to the hype? In this episode of Office Hours, I break down the science behind peptides, how they influence the body's signaling systems, and how to think about them wisely within a functional medicine approach. In this episode, I cover: • How peptides act as signaling molecules that regulate metabolism, repair, appetite, and energy • The major peptide categories people are using today—from GLP-1 medications to growth and longevity peptides • When peptide therapies may be helpful and the situations where caution is important • Why foundational health habits still matter more than any advanced therapy Peptides may represent an exciting frontier in medicine, but they're not shortcuts. They amplify the biological environment you already have. When your foundation is strong, targeted therapies can enhance healing and performance. But when your biology is inflamed, sleep-deprived, or metabolically dysfunctional, no peptide can override that terrain. Health isn't built from hacks—it's built from habits.

In this episode, Vanessa is joined by Dr. Jason Fung, author of The Hunger Code, to unpack the hormonal science behind fat loss — and how fasting may be entering a new era. They start with the three types of hunger and why obesity is not simply about willpower, but disrupted hormonal signaling. We break down insulin's role in fat storage, obesity, and how ultra-processed foods blunt satiety hormones. Vanessa and Dr. Fung also discuss how protein, fiber, and fat affect hunger very differently than refined carbohydrates — and why a calorie is not metabolically neutral. Then they shift to fasting. Dr. Fung shares his current protocols and comments on emerging research supporting Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting (PSMF) as a more practical, muscle-conscious alternative to prolonged water fasting. They cover: • PSMF vs water fasting • Protecting lean mass during fat loss • GLP-1 medications — risks and unintended consequences • Appetite suppression vs true metabolic health • Fat loss considerations for women in peri- and post-menopause This conversation challenges the idea that all fasting approaches are created equal — and reframes modern fat loss through a hormonal lens.

You can't watch a single sporting event without being hit with an Ozempic commercial — but did you know that those GLP-1s everyone's talking about are actually peptides? Kyal Van Der Leest — nutritionist, naturopath, and the formulator behind LvLUp Health — breaks down which peptides actually work, which ones are all hype, and why the Swiss Army knife of peptides (BPC-157) might be exactly what your gut, your joints, and your brain have been begging for. Kyal gets into the oral vs. injectable debate (Kyal sells oral peptides and still admits most oral ones don't work — gotta respect that), why your midlife body composition changes aren't just about willpower, the mould exposure conversation that'll make you side-eye your hotel room forever, and whether microdosing GLP-1s is the smarter play.
