Send us Fan MailChris Mearns is the founder of LIV3 Health and the creator of the Fructose Model, a systems-based approach focused on how fructose metabolism may influence cellular energetics and contribute to chronic metabolic dysfunction. He is a primary author involved in the development of scientific literature advancing a broader model of metabolic health.His work integrates findings across biochemistry, physiology, and clinical research, with particular attention to fructokinase activity, uric acid signaling, mitochondrial function, and cellular energy dynamics. This work aims to unify established concepts, such as metabolic syndrome, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and neurodegeneration, within a common energetic framework centered on cellular energy availability and recovery capacity.It also explores how this perspective may help reconcile existing models of metabolism while connecting survival pathways to the progression of chronic disease. Chris is known for bridging the gap between scientific research and real-world application.Through podcast appearances and his YouTube channel, @TheFructoseModel, he translates complex metabolic science into clear, usable insights for both general audiences and health professionals. His research, educational work, and product development are guided by a central thesis: restoring metabolic resilience requires addressing upstream energetic stress, with fructose metabolism representing a central, yet often underrecognized, influence.Find Chris at-https://liv3health.com/YT- @TheFructoseModelIG- @tryliv3Find Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!

Whey protein isolate keeps getting more expensive, and the reasons go deeper than most people realize. In Episode #230 of the PricePlow Podcast, Mike and Ben sit down with Kyle Failla, Head of Commercial at Perfect Day, to unpack why whey protein prices have climbed so far, and what the company’s new precision fermentation plant means for the supply side of the equation. Perfect Day’s ingredient, ProFermâ„¢, is a fermented version of beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), the dominant and most anabolic fraction of whey protein. Instead of pulling BLG from cow’s milk, Perfect Day grows it in a fermentation tank using a genetically engineered fungus, sidestepping the cheese production bottleneck that’s been squeezing whey supply for years — especially with cheese consumption dropping in the GLP-1 drug era. Kyle walks through the science, the regulatory approvals across five countries, why Perfect Day went quiet for two years, and how the company’s new manufacturing plant changes its ability to serve the sports nutrition, GLP-1, and RTD markets at scale.

In this episode, we show how a simple post-meal walk can lower glucose and make metabolic health feel measurable instead of mysterious. We also share a repeatable CGM experiment that turns curiosity into a habit you can actually keep. We also cover: • Why a CGM creates a better feedback loop than the bathroom scale • How post-meal walking reduces postprandial glucose, especially after dinner • How you can start with as little as a two to five minutes stroll, and work up to longer faster walks.  •How habit stacking with an if-then plan improves follow-through. Also my next book The Glucose Edge is available for pre-order. You can place your pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or anywhere fine books are sold. Reserve your copy today!

Send us Fan MailBlood sugar is everywhere right now. Glucose spikes, continuous glucose monitors, apple cider vinegar before meals, walking after meals, berberine, cutting carbs… but how much of this actually matters?In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Adrian Chavez, who has a PhD focused on insulin resistance and metabolic health, to break down what you actually need to know about blood sugar.We talk about what insulin resistance really is, why it can develop years before diabetes, whether fasting insulin and HOMA-IR are worth testing, what a normal blood sugar response after eating should look like, and whether healthy people actually need to worry about glucose spikes.We also get into CGMs, berberine, apple cider vinegar, post-meal walks, calorie intake, body fat, strength training, cardio, fibre, protein, and the lifestyle changes that actually make the biggest difference for metabolic health.Plus, we zoom out into a much bigger conversation about the wellness industry, health optimization, and why so many people are spending enormous amounts of time and money worrying about tiny details while overlooking the habits that have the strongest evidence behind them.If you've ever wondered whether you're insulin resistant, what blood work actually matters, or what you should be doing to protect your metabolic health long term, this episode will give you a much clearer place to start.In this episode, we discuss:• What insulin resistance actually is• How insulin resistance can develop before diabetes• Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR• Whether blood sugar spikes are actually harmful• Continuous glucose monitors for healthy people• Berberine and whether it actually works• Apple cider vinegar and post-meal walks• Strength training, cardio and daily movement• Calorie intake, body fat and metabolic health• Protein, fibre and blood sugar control• The problem with over-optimizing your health• What actually matters for long-term wellnessFollow Dr. Adrian Chavez on Instagram: @dr.adrianchavezListen to The Nutrition Science Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Use code GGW20 for 20% Stay Above Nutrition products (US & Canada)!You can check them out hereSHOP OUR MERCH HERE

Was passiert eigentlich, wenn bei Typ-1-Diabetes kein Insulin mehr ankommt? Ich spreche über absoluten Insulinmangel, Ketone und die diabetische Ketoazidose – direkt, verständlich und ohne daraus Panik zu machen. Außerdem geht es um den Unterschied zwischen Pumpen- und Pen-Therapie, technische Ausfälle, Notfallstrategien und die Erkenntnis, dass perfekte Diabeteswerte nicht das Ziel des Lebens sein müssen. Fehler passieren. Technik versagt. Diabetes nervt. Aber eines sollten wir niemals unterschätzen: Insulin ist für Menschen mit Typ-1-Diabetes nicht einfach irgendein Medikament. Es ist lebensnotwendig. 072 – Jennifer Harmuth – Am 24.12.2016 hatte ich meinen zweiten Geburtstag 124 – 12 Symptome, Anzeichen von Diabetes oder Ketoazidose 017-ist-eine-ketoazidose-ketoaziboese/ 095 – Der Zuckerstoffwechsel – Wohin mit der ganzen Glucose und was macht der Körper mit der dieser bei einem Diabetiker und Menschen ohne Diabetes?

You have a supplement graveyard in your pantry. Admit it. Half-used bottles you feel guilty throwing away, and no real idea if a single one of them is doing anything.This week, I sat down with Michael Antonelli, founder and CEO of Healthgevity and one of the most obsessive formulators I've ever met — and we recorded inside a biotech lab on Park Avenue South, where scientists are growing human lactoferrin from yeast.Here's what blew my mind. The lactoferrin in almost every supplement on the shelf comes from cows. Michael says your body can read that bovine protein as a foreign invader, which is why this team spent years engineering a version identical to the protein in mother's milk. Your cells recognize it instantly. He compared it to skipping the line at the club with a VIP pass.Then he dropped a bomb about how to vet a supplement company, and I've been repeating it to my friends ever since. Proprietary blends? Red flag. Can't find the ingredient list within 30 seconds of landing on the site? Red flag. He won't sell on any third-party site at all — and I've personally had clients end up with counterfeit bottles.We also cracked capsules open and drank them, talked paraxanthine versus caffeine, glucose spikes, zombie cells, and why nobody's talking about leaky vessels.After this one, you'll never buy a supplement the same way again.What we talk about:- Why human-identical lactoferrin behaves so differently than the bovine kind- The 340 mg dose most brands quietly can't afford to use- Two words on a label that should make you put the bottle back- Why he won't let his products be sold on Amazon- Paraxanthine vs. caffeine: energy with no jitters, crash, or tolerance- What blood sugar spikes are doing to your collagen and your skin- Spermidine, fasting, and clearing out the zombie cells taking up space- Leaky gut gets all the attention. Your leaky vessels don't.Listen to the full episode on all platforms — and catch the full lab walkthrough on YouTube.Episode Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthgevityLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-antonelli-0295b548Shop Healthgevity: https://healthgev.comConnect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠

It might not sound like a hard news story.. but It's my show and I can't wait to watch this. This move follows four Girl Scouts ages 5-12 during cookie season. One of the girls has type 1 – they don't mention it in the trailer, but you can see her omnipod. Here's a clip:   Start the very beginning and stop after "I want to be a supreme court justice." (stop after the "oh..laughter" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnSQS43Eil8   Viewers meet Ara from San Diego, CA (5), Shannon Elizabeth from El Paso, TX (8), Nikki from Chino, CA (9), and Olive from Charlotte, NC (12). Ara has Type 1 diabetes and is shown taking insulin, refilling her pump before bed, and determining with her dad how to sample the cookies she's selling while keeping her blood sugar levels safe. Thumbs down to the Hollywood reporter dot com. In their review they say.. "if this film were itself a baked good, Ara would need to be careful because one bite could cause hyperglycemia or even diabetic ketoacidosis. It's just that sweet." Cookie Queens comes out this month. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/cookie-queens-review-prince-harry-meghan-markle-girl-scouts-1236484555/ trailer:   XX Supply issues for Lantus SoloStar pens being acknowledged by Sanofi. The company says it's experiencing "a period of intermittent supply due to increased demand. The company said the increase in demand is being driven by "broader market dynamics," but did not provide additional details. Sanofi said the situation is temporary and is expected to improve over the coming weeks. The company said Lantus U-100 vials and Toujeo U-300, which contain the same active ingredient, remain available. https://www.wral.com/news/local/common-insulin-pen-faces-supply-issues-amid-rising-demand-july-23-2026/ XX The University of Alabama at Birmingham startup TIXiMED Inc. has launched the next phase of clinical testing for a novel oral therapy for Type 1. For now called TIX100, a small-molecule drug designed to inhibit a protein linked to pancreatic beta-cell loss and diabetes progression. The new double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the drug's safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Researchers will enroll 18 healthy participants across three dose cohorts at a single United States study site. Participants will receive either TIX100 or a placebo twice daily for 28 days, followed by a seven-day follow-up period. Six participants making up the first cohort have been successfully enrolled thus far. In addition to its potential use in Type 1 diabetes, TIX100 may have applications in Type 2 diabetes and obesity. A recent study found that the drug prevented weight regain and preserved lean muscle mass after discontinuation of GLP-1 therapies in preclinical models. https://www.uab.edu/news/research-innovation/startup-advances-novel-oral-type-1-diabetes-therapy-to-next-phase-of-human-testing XX Researchers at the University of California San Diego say they have developed and validated a Continuous Health Analyzing Ring Module (CHARM), a compact, fully integrated wearable smart ring capable of continuous real-time monitoring of multiple biomarkers in sweat. The wearable device can simultaneously measure up to four biomarkers, including glucose, ketone, uric acid, lactate, ascorbic acid, and alcohol, to provide real-time insights into metabolic health. The study is published in Nature Communications. They say CHARM device contains all necessary biomarker sensors, low-power electronics, and a flexible battery. The left compartment of the device is designed to draw sweat passively using an osmotic hydrogel, a soft polymer that creates a pressure gradient to pull fluid from the skin painlessly. The sweat is then analyzed by multiplexed electrochemical sensor arrays within the same compartment, leading to simultaneous and real-time tracking of four biomarkers at a time.   The right compartment of the device contains a flexible zinc-silver oxide rechargeable battery that supplies power for up to 12 hours of operation between charges. Biomarker information generated through sensors is wirelessly transferred to a connected Bluetooth-enabled device for real-time display The findings indicated that the device performed well in initial temperature, cytotoxicity, and on-body compatibility tests. It also demonstrated high analytical accuracy in preliminary studies involving healthy participants and individuals with type 1 diabetes, highlighting its potential for non-invasive metabolic monitoring. The calculated estimated sweat-based blood glucose concentration showed a mean absolute relative difference of approximately 13.7% against its corresponding blood concentration values.   The device needs further validation in diverse clinical settings and across large diabetic cohorts.   https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260727/Prototype-smart-ring-tracks-multiple-sweat-biomarkers.aspx   XX Hotter weather and rising temps appear to increase the short term risk for low blood sugar in adults with type 1. An analysis of more than 32 million continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings from nearly 700 adults with T1D in the UK showed a 26% greater risk for hypoglycemia at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) than at 13 °C (55.4 °F). Hypoglycemia was defined as a glucose level < 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). The study included 679 individuals with T1D and 32,966,282 CGM readings collected between February 23, 2017, and August 8, 2024. Participants had a mean age of 46.4 years and a mean T1D duration of 23.7 years. The researchers observed strong seasonal patterns, with lower odds of hypoglycemia in late winter and early spring, followed by a peak during the summer. The lowest risk occurred on Mondays. The odds then increased over the course of the week and peaked toward the weekend, with a significant odds ratio of 1.14 on Saturdays compared with Mondays. Increases in hypoglycemia were observed during both hot and cold weather, but the association was stronger for heat. The net odds ratio was 1.26 at 25 °C compared with 13 °C.   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/when-temperatures-climb-hypoglycemia-risk-rises-type-1-2026a1000q4r XX Seven weeks after the expulsion of five diabetes experts from the American Diabetes Association conference, controversy continues. More than 200 members now calling for two ADA leaders to resign. In response, the ADA delivered its own message Tuesday, expressing appreciation for members' patience while a report is prepared.   The resignation demand, sent last week in an open letter to the ADA board of directors, calls for the removal of CEO Charles Henderson and chief scientific and medical officer Rita Kalyani. It also urges "an independent investigation into the events of the 2026 Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, a full apology to the five colleagues removed from the meeting, and the restoration of editorial independence at Diabetes Care," an ADA scientific journal.   https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/28/american-diabetes-association-fallout-researchers-expulsion/ XX XX Still to come, , a new link between diabetes and dementia, device updates, and why you might want to start rooting for the Red Sox..   XX New study says that people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before the age of 10 years had a 37% higher risk of developing all-cause dementia later in life than those diagnosed between ages of 18 and 30 years. These researchers used a Swedish national register of 43,440 individuals with T1D (mean age at cohort entry, 33 years; 44% women) Worth noting a couple of things.. the mean age in this study was 33 – so the people who were diagnosed under the age of ten would not have had access to current technology – no CGMs or AID systems. And while the study says it's 37% higher for the younger group, the actual rate was still very low. As always, I'll link to the study so you can learn more. My obvious bias here to look for a silver lining because I have a son who diagnosed with T1D at age 2.   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/type-1-diabetes-onset-before-age-10-tied-higher-risk-2026a1000pir XX Researchers have developed a machine learning model that uses routine clinical information to detect diabetes and distinguish between type 1, type 2, prediabetes, and diabetes caused by pancreatic disease. The model performed well in early testing, but researchers say it still needs to be validated in independent patient groups before it could be considered for use in diabetes screening or clinical care. It did not assess clinical utility, patient outcomes, or quality of life. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260729/Researchers-train-AI-to-detect-diabetes-and-assign-four-diagnostic-labels.aspx XX Trinity Biotech and Latch Medical are teaming up to explore combining CGM with precision drug delivery technology for diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic conditions. The companies hope real-time glucose data from Trinity's CGM+ sensor could eventually help guide more personalized treatment decisions and medication delivery. Trinity's CGM+ is still in development, with a pivotal clinical trial planned for later this year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/trinity-biotech-collab-cgm-drug-delivery/ XX The FDA selects Dexcom as the first participant in a new digital health pilot that will exempt certain digital health devices from FDA premarket authorization requirements while collecting real world data through a complementary Medicare program. Dexcom, plans to implement an artificial intelligence-enabled glucose health program through the pilot. The program is intended to help screen for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The company plans to integrate data from its sensors, including its prescription G7 CGM and its over-the-counter Stelo device, along with contextual health information such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep and stress. The FDA announced plans for the Technology-Enabled Meaningful Patient Outcomes, or TEMPO, pilot last year amid a broader push for adoption of digital health and wearables. It coincides with a new program by the CMS to fund the use of digital technologies for managing chronic conditions. https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/fda-names-dexcom-as-first-participant-in-digital-health-pilot/826215/ XX Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries now have access to the new MiniMed Flex insulin pump. Beneficiaries can now access the MiniMed Flex and its latest sensor portfolio, which currently includes the Simplera Sync sensor, a disposable, all-in-one sensor with easy two-step insertion. The company plans to roll it out with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott, later this summer. It also added Abbott's dual glucose-ketone sensor (still investigational in the U.S.) to its portfolio this year. Flex picked up FDA clearance in March and the company announced the initial commercial rollout of the pump last month. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/minimed-flex-pump-now-available-medicare/ XX Eli Lilly expands it's partnership with Resilience – the makers of the KwikPen device. Through the investment, Resilience will significantly increase U.S. production of Lilly's KwikPen injectable device for diabetes and obesity medicines. In February, Lilly won FDA approval for Zepbound in a multidose KwikPen device. The product includes four doses of the GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, providing a month of treatment for obesity or overweight in one device.

How can you enjoy sugar without gaining weight, fuelling cravings or crashing later in the day? The answer, surprisingly, is not to cut it out. In today's episode, Professor Tim Spector and Professor Sarah Berry discuss which forms of sugar affect your blood sugar levels most, and what small changes you can make today to reduce the impact. They also explore how sharp blood sugar spikes and dips may affect hunger, energy, inflammation and long-term health. By the end of the episode, you'll know how to spot hidden sugars, how to avoid the afternoon slump and energy crashes, and, most importantly, how to enjoy cake with less impact on your blood sugar. Sugar is not the enemy. But could a few small changes help you enjoy sweet foods without the cycle of cravings, hunger and energy crashes?

Chris Mearns describes how fructose metabolism creates uric acid and damages mitochondrial function, explaining that the body's survival programming from evolutionary times is now working against modern humans who eat constantly due to easy access to food. Mearns discusses how various foods and lifestyle factors trigger fructose metabolism, including high glycemic carbs, dehydration, salt, alcohol, and umami foods, making it challenging to avoid the compound entirely. He shared research on fructokinase inhibitors and describes his company Liv3Health's product SugarShield, which contains luteolin and tart cherry extract to naturally inhibit fructose metabolism.  Discussion Points: Fructose and Glucose Metabolic Differences Evolution and Modern Dietary Challenges Fructose Metabolism and Fasting Insulin Resistance and Cellular Fuel Natural Fruit Ripening and Processing Survival Signals and Food Cravings Chris Mearns is a metabolic researcher, the founder of LIV3 Health, and the creator of the Fructose Model, a systems-based approach focused on how fructose metabolism can contribute to health issues.

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of IVDrips and Hello Dose, for one of our most fascinating conversations yet. We dive into the science behind GLP-1 medications, why they're about so much more than weight loss, and how they're changing the conversation around longevity, metabolic health, and healthy aging.Bracha explains how GLP-1s work in the body, why weight gain is often rooted in biology rather than willpower, and how factors like glucose, insulin, inflammation, and hormones all play a role in long-term health. We also discuss who may benefit from GLP-1 medications, including women navigating perimenopause and menopause, adults focused on cardiovascular health, and those looking to improve metabolic wellness.We also get into fertility, blood sugar, continuous glucose monitors, and the surprising ways GLP-1s may help reduce cravings by working on the brain's reward system. Beyond medications, Bracha shares the foundational habits she believes everyone should prioritize first from walking after meals and getting morning sunlight to improving sleep and building sustainable wellness routines.Whether you're curious about GLP-1s, trying to better understand metabolic health, or looking for practical ways to optimize your health for the long run, this episode is packed with insights and actionable takeaways.xo, Tay⸻Follow Bracha Banayan!

"The more unnecessary food rules we follow, the harder it becomes to trust ourselves around food."Are blood sugar hacks creating more fear than freedom? In this episode, I take a closer look at the research behind food order and the popular advice to eat carbohydrates last for better blood sugar control. We explore what the science actually says, some important limitations that often get left out of social media conversations, and why many of these studies don't reflect how people typically eat in real life. Most importantly, I share why body attunement matters more than following another food rule and how to navigate blood sugar conversations with less fear and more trust in your body.✅ What You'll Learn:What "food order" or "food sequencing" actually meansWhat the current research says about eating carbohydrates first versus lastWhy many food order studies may not reflect real-life eating patternsThe difference between short-term blood sugar responses and long-term health outcomesHow rigid food rules can interfere with body attunement and trust around foodWhy a balanced approach to eating carbohydrates can support both health and a positive relationship with food

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Jeff to tackle one of the most time-sensitive and under-appreciated threats in tactical and austere medicine: anoxic brain injury. They break down exactly what it is, how fast it can progress from unnoticed hypoxia to devastating outcomes, and why the MARCH algorithm plus aggressive prevention of secondary injury are your most powerful tools when oxygen and resources are limited.Key Takeaways:Anoxic brain injury exists on a spectrum — brief drops in SpO2 can cause real damage, and recovery (when it happens) can take days, weeks, months, or even years of rehab.The landmark Arizona pre-post TBI study showed hypoxia and hypotension each increase mortality 2–3×; combined they increase it 5–6×. Updated analysis reveals harm begins at SpO2

Jacob och Wille diskuterar lite lyssnarfrågor i avsnitt 554 av Tyngre Träningssnack. Jacob börjar med att berätta lite kring fenomenet hangry och en nyare studie som har tittat på om det påverkas av vårt blodsocker eller inte. Studien med titeln "Glucose levels are associated with mood, but the association is mediated by ratings of metabolic state" fann att även om det fanns en korrelation mellan lågt blodsocker och sämre humör så var den medierad via hunger. Så om människor hade lågt blodsocker men inte var hungriga så var de inte i mer troliga att vara på sämre humör. Om de istället var hungriga men hade normalt blodsocker så var de ändå i ökad risk att vara på sämre humör. Efter det här så är det en fråga kring hjärtvariabilitet, en kring att uppskatta VO2max med olika metoder där man inte mäter inandningsluften och till sist blir det om kreatins effekter på hjärnan. På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta och tidigare avsnitt. Hålltider (00:00:00) Introsnack om semestrande (00:06:53) Finns det någon data som stödjer begreppet hangry? (00:24:03) Är hypen kring HRV befogad? (00:39:20) Kan man göra en rimlig uppskattning av sitt VO2max utan utrustning som mäter utandningsluften? (00:46:25) Har kreatin någon betydelsefull effekt på hjärnan?

Dr. Carole Keim takes listeners through one of the earliest and most important decisions in pregnancy: choosing the right support team. In this solo episode, she explains the differences between obstetricians, certified nurse midwives, and doulas, helping parents understand the unique role each plays during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Dr. Keim also walks through the typical timeline of prenatal visits, ultrasounds, testing, and vaccines, giving expectant parents a practical overview of what to expect from the first positive pregnancy test through delivery. With her warm and reassuring approach, Dr. Keim also explores what labor and birth are really like beyond what's often portrayed in movies. She discusses birth plans, labor support, cervical checks, fetal monitoring, inductions, C-sections, and postpartum healing, while emphasizing that every pregnancy and birth experience is different. Parents will come away with a clearer understanding of how to build a supportive birth team and how to prepare emotionally and physically for welcoming a new baby.  Key Moments 00:00 Introduction to OBs, midwives, and doulas 02:17 Pregnancy tests and scheduling the first prenatal appointment 03:35 The 8–12 week visit, ultrasounds, and viability checks 05:35 The 20-week anatomy scan and fetal development 07:53 Glucose tolerance testing and gestational diabetes screening 10:16 Vaccines during pregnancy: Tdap, flu, COVID, and RSV 12:29 Breech babies, turning procedures, and planned C-sections 14:58 Routine late pregnancy visits and induction discussions 16:15 Certified nurse midwives vs obstetricians 20:07 What doulas do during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum 24:23 Birth plans, labor positions, and creating a calming environment 27:13 Labor monitoring, cervical checks, and delivery interventions 31:59 Postpartum healing, recovery, and spacing pregnancies 35:23 Final thoughts and additional resources for parents __ How to choose an OB or midwife  OBs, family doctors, and midwives can deliver babies Group practices are pretty standard nowadays; meet your main doctor/midwife but also meet the team who might be delivering (either other people in the office or a laborist) Personality fit is a big deal Obstetricians and family doctors are medical doctors.  Their training involves 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency (12 years total). There are two types of midwives: lay midwives and CNMs. Lay midwives are those who have experience delivering low-risk babies out of the hospital, typically at home.  They have no certification or licensure requirements, and no formal medical training.  Home births with a lay midwife are by far the most dangerous and I have seen some bad outcomes and cannot ethically support them.  When I speak about midwives during this episode, I am not including lay midwives. CNMs are required to have a bachelor's degree in nursing (4 years of undergrad), then 2 years of graduate-level nurse midwife training (6 years total). The main differences are the knowledge base and the approach to care. Doctors Nurses OBs, family doctors, and midwives can see you during your pregnancy and can deliver babies vaginally. Only OBs can perform c sections and take care of high-risk pregnancies (moms under 18yrs or over 35 years, those with health conditions, those with prior c-section, twins/triplets Birth location OBs deliver in hospitals because it is the safest setting Midwives can deliver at hospitals, birth centers, and/or at home depending on the local regulations Timing of appointments   In the US, the number of weeks starts at the beginning of your last period, so when you miss a period and test you are 4 weeks pregnant Ovulation and fertilization happen at 2 weeks, so you aren't actually pregnant until then, but we are counting from LMP In the US, the due date is at 40 weeks In other countries they may count dates starting at conception/ovulation, so the due date is at 38 weeks Initial appt: 6-8 weeks or whenever you find out you're pregnant, whichever is later First trimester (until 12 weeks and 6 days): you'll be seen 2-3x; initial confirmation appt, 6-8 weeks for dating, 10-12 weeks for NIPT. Blood testing and urine testing for STIs, drugs, ultrasound for dates, hear heartbeat, NIPT (check out the genetics episode 503) Second trimester (13 0/7 to 27 6/7): appts about every other week, anatomy scan, testing for gestational diabetes, further genetic testing and/or ultrasounds if indicated. Third trimester (28-40 weeks): appointments every 2 weeks, then weekly starting at 38 weeks.  Check urine for protein (a sign of pre eclampsia) at each visit.  GBS screen.  RPR on admission to hospital. Postpartum: 2 weeks and 6 weeks High-risk pregnancies will be seen more often.  A pregnancy can become high risk at any time. Doula What they can do: emotional support, physical comfort during labor and delivery. What they can't do: anything medical, including deliver babies. Reasons you might want one: to keep you as comfortable as possible during labor; they can get you food/water/ice chips, rub your feet or neck if you want, call the nurse for you, crowd control, can articulate your preferences while you're in labor, possibly also attending to partner during delivery Reasons you might not want one: expense, privacy, not needed if you have a support person Birthing options / Birth plans Birth plans How you want your birth experience to be Birth is a very tenuous process and doesn't always go according to plan.  A birth plan is a nice outline of preferences, if you have any. If you are planning a vaginal delivery, keep in mind that your birth team has the main objective of having a healthy mom and baby.  If your provider says that something needs to change during labor or delivery, there is usually a medical safety reason for that change. Scheduled C-Sections Reasons you might be scheduled for a C-section: repeat, breech baby, twins/triplets, high risk for underlying medical conditions in you or the baby.  Scheduled C-sections typically have a shorter birth plan: music in the operating room one support person in there with you will the support person go with the baby or stay with mom when the C-section is over? Even if you're scheduled for a C-section, you might go into labor early and need an urgent or emergent C-section before the scheduled date. Scheduled inductions  Reasons you might be scheduled: post dates, pre eclampsia, gestational diabetes, specific high-risk pregnancy reasons There are a few ways to induce labor, including medication taken by mouth or placed in the vagina to help open the cervix, IV medication called pitocin which causes your uterus to contract, and placing something such as a stick that absorbs fluid and expands or a balloon that is placed by your provider in the cervix to help it open Less to plan, but the same as for vaginal delivery. Mixed evidence as to whether scheduled inductions are more or less likely to end in C-section Vaginal delivery If you fully go into labor naturally, meaning you have contractions every 3-5 minutes lasting 1 minute each and your water breaks, you may need no intervention at all. Areas to plan: People who will be there Environment: music, smells, lighting, etc Comfort measures / pain relief - birth ball, shower, tub, squat bar, etc Words to use or to avoid Position for labor/delivery Mirror during delivery Plans for the placenta Newborn procedures: skin to skin, eye drops, vitamin K, Hep B, circumcision, timing of first bath, breast/bottle/both Who is allowed after baby is born and how they will be notified Check out The Baby Manual on Amazon.  It will give you peace of mind when your new baby arrives.   __  Resources discussed in this episode: The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on Amazon The Baby Manual is also available on Amazon __ Contact Dr. Carole Keim MD Website: CaroleKeim.com Linktree TikTok Instagram   ---FullScriptUse this link to get 10% off and free shipping for orders over $50.HIRO DiapersUse code DRCAROLEKEIM for a discount at checkout.

Glucose is an essential sugar for horses, but too much of it can be harmful. While diet is your main tool for reducing glucose intake, what can you do when your horse still struggles with glucose and insulin control? And are there medications that can help lower blood glucose? Let's explore one option together. If dietary changes are not enough, other strategies can help manage high glucose and insulin. For instance, veterinarians are now turning to a human drug called ertugliflozin (er-TUG-li-flo-zen) to lower blood glucose with promising results. In this discussion, you'll discover how this drug and others in its class work, what the treatment plan entails, and possible side effects to monitor. I'll also explore the cost of treatment and discuss current research on its use in horses.

Glucose is one of many sugars. It is an essential nutrient for both horses and people. When talking about sugar in food, you might hear words like carbs, starch, fructose, lactose, saccharide, or others. But for now, let's just focus on glucose. Without it, our horses—and we—cannot survive. Yet glucose damages everything it touches inside the body! It is so harmful that the phrase "glucose disposal" is often used to describe how the body protects itself from glucose. Insulin helps the body remove glucose. Without insulin, glucose levels rise in the bloodstream, harming whatever they come into contact with. To control blood glucose levels, cells respond to insulin. When a cell takes in as much glucose as it can, it stops responding to insulin. This is normal and needed for the complex process to work. If insulin resistance happens every day, why is it a problem when your horse has it? That's what this podcast is about. I'll explain how the body uses glucose, how it protects itself, and when insulin resistance becomes a real issue.

Sugar Is Not a Treat. It's a Metabolic Event.Most people think sugar is just calories.It's not.It's a signal.And every time it enters your body, it triggers a cascade that affects nearly every organ system.In this episode of The Thrive Forever Fit Show, Jay Nixon breaks down exactly what happens physiologically when you consume sugar, even in small amounts, and what repeated exposure does over time.This is not about fear.It's not about perfection.It's about understanding how the system works.Because when you understand the mechanism, you stop blaming yourself and start making strategic decisions.In This Episode, Jay Covers:The Immediate Response to SugarDopamine activation in the brainBlood glucose elevationInsulin release and cellular energy signalingWhy this is normal in small, infrequent amountsGlucose vs Fructose: The Critical DifferenceMost people think sugar is sugar. It's not.Jay explains the metabolic difference between:Glucose, which raises blood sugar and triggers insulinFructose, which bypasses insulin regulation and is processed almost exclusively in the liverYou'll learn why:Glucose stresses blood sugar controlFructose stresses the liverCombined, they create a dual metabolic burdenThe Liver: Ground Zero for Metabolic DysfunctionIn this episode, Jay walks through how excess fructose drives:De novo lipogenesisFat accumulation in the liverElevated triglyceridesVisceral fat storageInsulin resistance progressionNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease is not random.It is repetitive exposure.The Systemic Effects of Chronic Sugar ExposureJay explains how repeated sugar intake impacts:The PancreasChronic insulin outputBeta cell stressCompensation and eventual dysfunctionThe Cardiovascular SystemElevated triglyceridesSmall dense LDL particlesGlycation of proteinsVascular agingThe BrainEnergy instabilityMood fluctuationCognitive risk linked to insulin resistanceHormonal HealthCortisol reactivityLeptin and ghrelin disruptionTestosterone suppression in menOvarian dysfunction in womenThis is not about weight gain.This is about systemic metabolic stress.The Real Issue: Frequency, Not Occasional ExposureOne dessert does not destroy your metabolism.Three to five exposures per day for years will.Metabolic dysfunction develops through repetition:Repeated spikes.Repeated insulin surges.Repeated liver overload.Repeated inflammation.Eventually, the system adapts in ways you don't want.The Empowering MessageYou are not broken.Your metabolism is responding exactly as designed.The solution is not elimination.It is resilience.In this episode, Jay outlines the fundamentals of rebuilding metabolic strength:Protein at every mealDaily fiber intakeStrength training to improve insulin sensitivityProtecting sleepReducing unnecessary sugar frequencyWhen metabolic health is strong, sugar becomes something your body can tolerate occasionally instead of something that drives dysfunction.Why This Episode MattersSugar is not just a treat.It is a biochemical event.When you understand what it does inside your body, you gain leverage.And leverage changes behavior.Episode 333 is your wake-up call to stop thinking about sugar emotionally and start thinking about it metabolically.

Send us Fan MailOlaf Kock is a returning guest on our show! Be sure to check out his first appearance on episode 796 of Boundless Body Radio!Olaf Kock is working in the software business, currently in technical sales. Ever since finding the ketogenic diet in 2012, he ran a one-month experiment with this way of eating that has never stopped.As a self-described nerd, he found the ketogenic diet in 2012 through a podcast on software security out of pure chance. This experiment has evolved through several flavors since then, but as far as this experiment is concerned, the experiment never ended, and he is still ketogenic to this day!As he often is answering the same questions, he recently built a German-and-English-language website (butterbei.de) to simulate the glucose/insulin relationship, in order to illustrate what happens in the body, and make the otherwise hidden processes visible without the need to wear a continuous glucose monitor. The website has since developed into a source of nutritional information based on his findings that the cause-and-effect typically perceived in nutrition can easily be twisted around.Together with his dog Fiete he lives in Hamburg/Germany, which makes both of them authentic and actual (wait for it) Hamburgers. Find Olaf at-http://butterbei.de/Find Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue the Mighty Minerals series with a deep dive into chromium—an essential trace mineral that plays a key role in blood sugar balance, metabolism, and insulin function. Jared explores why common intake levels may fall short of optimal needs and how modern lifestyle factors can impact chromium status. You'll learn how chromium supports the body's natural metabolic processes, the differences between popular supplement forms, and why form and dosage matter more than most people realize. Jared also shares practical insights on who may benefit most from chromium and how it can fit into a well-rounded wellness routine. As always, this episode is designed to educate and empower you with foundational knowledge so you can make informed decisions about your health and supplementation strategy.Products:Ultimate Vitality Multi: https://vitalitynutrition.com/products/vitality-nutrition-ultimate-vitality-multivitamin?_pos=1&_sid=0364aa438&_ss=r Natural Factors Chromium GTF: https://vitalitynutrition.com/products/chromium-gtf-chelate-500-mcg-90-tablets?_pos=1&_sid=0fc735c25&_ss=r GLP-1 Metabolic Activator: https://vitalitynutrition.com/products/glp-1-metabolic-optimizer-90-capsules-30-day-supply?_pos=1&_sid=e509d1fe5&_ss=rVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vitalitynutritionbountiful/  and https://www.instagram.com/vitalityradio/ or https://www.facebook.com/vitalityradio  and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MyVitality  .

We can measure more about our health than ever before. Wearables track everything from heart rhythms to glucose trends, and AI can now identify patterns clinicians might miss. But more data does not automatically mean better health outcomes.In this episode, cardiologist and digital health expert Dr. Ami Bhatt joins Mike Haney to explore why medicine still struggles with prevention, how continuous health data can help patients take more agency, and where AI may actually improve care—not by replacing doctors, but by helping clinicians navigate the right information at the right time.They discuss the promise and pitfalls of wearables, the challenge of turning constant streams of health information into useful action, and why the future of medicine may depend on what Dr. Bhatt calls “collaborative intelligence”: humans and AI working together to make better decisions earlier.About the guest: Dr. Ami Bhatt is the chief innovation officer (CIO) at the American College of Cardiology and the Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. She received her undergraduate degree at Harvard University and her Doctor of Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, and was the Director of Outpatient Cardiology, TeleCardiology, and Adult Congenital Heart Disease at the Massachusetts General Hospital.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

If eating feels chaotic, unpredictable, or hard to keep up with, especially with ADHD, there are real reasons for that. This episode breaks down why eating can feel all over the place, not because you are doing something wrong, but because your brain is being asked to manage a process that depends heavily on executive functioning, timing, and regulation across the entire day. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores the connection between ADHD, binge eating disorder, and bulimia, including how impulsivity, dopamine, and executive function challenges shape eating patterns in ways that are often misunderstood. You will hear why eating may feel easy to delay and then suddenly urgent, why follow-through can feel inconsistent, and why this pattern is not about willpower. ADHD and Eating Disorders: Why Eating Feels So Chaotic Eating regularly requires more than hunger. It depends on time awareness, task initiation, decision-making, and the ability to shift attention. ADHD directly affects these processes, which means eating can feel disorganized, delayed, or unpredictable. This episode explains why chaotic eating patterns often reflect executive function challenges, not a lack of effort or care. Impulsivity, Dopamine, and Binge Eating Impulsivity in ADHD is not just about acting quickly. It reflects differences in how the brain pauses and redirects. When binge urges show up, they can feel immediate and intense. At the same time, dopamine differences in ADHD can make food a fast and effective way to shift focus, regulate emotions, or create relief. This episode explores how these systems interact and why food can become a powerful regulator. Executive Function Challenges and Follow-Through With Eating Executive function challenges can make it harder to plan, prepare, and initiate eating, even when you want to. You might forget to eat, delay eating, or feel overwhelmed by decisions. This episode breaks down how these patterns develop and why eating consistency is not just about intention, but about access to executive functioning in real time. Restriction, Glucose, and Intensified ADHD Traits When eating gets delayed or inconsistent, even unintentionally, glucose levels can drop. This affects the brain's ability to regulate attention, impulses, and emotions. Lower glucose can intensify ADHD traits, making it even harder to initiate eating or pause during urges. This episode explains how this cycle develops and why it can feel so hard to interrupt. Why This Is Not About Willpower Chaotic eating patterns are often framed as a lack of discipline, but this episode reframes them through a neurodivergent-affirming lens. When your brain is under-fueled and your executive functioning is stretched, it makes sense that eating feels harder to manage. Understanding this can reduce shame and open up more supportive approaches. Related Episodes Midlife Bulimia Recovery: Coping With the Internal Chaos on Apple and Spotify.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how the body senses and uses sugar, and why understanding those mechanisms can help reduce sugar cravings. I discuss different types of sugar and how they are processed by pathways in the gut and the brain to shape appetite and the desire for specific foods. I also share many science-based tools to help curb sugar cravings and support healthy blood sugar regulation. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Social Media Is Confusing Your Patients. In this episode, I'm joined by endocrinology PA Emily Stevens to discuss diabetes, insulin resistance, and blood sugar control and help you explain it in a way your patients will actually understand. If your patients are asking about glucose spikes, CGMs, keto, or supplements like berberine, this episode will give you clear, practical answers you can use in clinic this week.What You'll Learn: Why "glucose spikes" are normal and how to explain this to patients without causing fear  The truth about low-carb, keto, and intermittent fasting for diabetes management  Why telling patients to “cut carbs” or “avoid fruit” is wrong advice How to use the Diabetes Plate Method for quick, effective nutrition counseling  Why pairing protein + carbohydrates improves glycemic control (and how to teach it fast)  What the evidence says about berberine, magnesium, and supplements When lifestyle changes are enough vs when medication is necessary Who actually benefits from continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) (and who doesn't) Key Takeaways for the Exam Room:Blood sugar isn't meant to be flat. Help patients expect “rolling hills,” not a straight line. Carbs aren't the problem. Focus on quality, pairing, and portions. Start with beverages. It's often the fastest win for improving glycemic control. Don't demonize fruit. You'll create fear instead of sustainable change. Meet patients where they are. “Cut it in half” works better than “cut it out.” You can't out-supplement a poor diet. Food first, always. Use visuals, not numbers. The plate method > gram counting for most patients.Connect with EmilyAny Questions?

Metabolic health is often simplified to a matter of blood sugar, but at its root, it is a complex system of energy substrate signaling. While many view chronic disease as an inevitable part of aging, a systems-thinking approach reveals that maintaining high "flux"—the capacity to efficiently move and clear energy through the body—is the primary lever for longevity. Without the stimulus of regular movement, even the most optimized diet can fail to prevent the accumulation of metabolic waste that leads to insulin resistance and heart disease.In this episode, we sit down with Greg Mushen, a technologist who turned his engineering mind toward his own biology after conventional medicine failed to address his chronic health issues. Mushen breaks down his "Theory of Flux" and why he believes the key to disease resistance lies in meeting our body's "clearance burden". From studying the activity levels of hunter-gatherer populations to debunking myths about walking and V2 max, Mushen provides a data-driven framework for optimizing health through the lens of evolutionary biology and systems engineering.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In this episode, we cover:The Theory of Flux: Understanding health as the dynamic capacity to move nutrients and fuel through the system rather than a static set of markers.Insulin Resistance Reimagined: Why blood sugar is a symptom, not the root cause, and how fat accumulation in the liver and muscle disrupts signaling.The Power of PAL: Why a Physical Activity Level (PAL) of 2.0 is the "golden ratio" observed in disease-free subsistence populations.Walking vs. HIT: De-bunking the idea that you need high intensity to improve V2 max and why the "area under the curve" for oxygen consumption is what matters.The Saturated Fat Paradox: Comparing the Messiah and Chimané populations to understand how high activity levels can mitigate the risks of high-fat diets.Fiber as a Sensor: Why fiber is more than just "throughput" and acts as a critical environmental sensor for metabolic signaling.The "Walking Grifter" Philosophy: Why walking is the most under-leveraged tool for increasing metabolic flux with the lowest recovery cost.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Ben Greenfield to break down why 93% of people struggle with metabolic dysfunction and what's really driving chronic disease. You'll learn what metabolic flexibility actually means and why most people are stuck burning sugar instead of fat.

Your TSH is "normal." Your ferritin is "normal." Your glucose is "normal." And IVF still isn't working. Here's why normal lab ranges were never built for fertility and what optimal actually looks like. Most reference ranges are designed to flag disease in the general population, not to optimize egg quality, embryo competence, or implantation. That gap is where a lot of unexplained IVF failure, embryo arrest, and recurrent loss live. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through the four biomarker categories most often dismissed as "fine" but influence cycle outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve, low AMH, high FSH, and failed transfers. What you'll learn: - What "normal" lab ranges actually measure and what they miss - Why fertility-optimized TSH sits closer to 1–2 mIU/L, not 4.0 - Ferritin 80–100 ng/mL and what it means for egg energy and endometrial development - Fasting glucose under 86, insulin stability, and follicular development - Why hsCRP under 1 mg/L matters for implantation and embryo quality - The full thyroid panel most REIs skip: Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO, TBG - Male factor inflammation, sperm DNA fragmentation, and recurring infections - The reframe: normal protects against disease, optimal supports conception Timestamps: 00:00 Why "normal" labs don't mean fertility-optimized 00:30 What conventional reference ranges actually measure 01:30 Why DIY fertility optimization stalls without functional lab review 03:00 TSH "normal" vs optimal and the full thyroid panel REIs skip (Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TPO, TBG) 04:30 How thyroid signaling affects egg quality, ovulation, and pregnancy loss 05:00 Ferritin 80–100 ng/mL: the iron range for IVF and egg energy 06:00 Fasting glucose under 86, insulin stability, and follicular development 07:00 hsCRP under 1 mg/L: low-grade inflammation, implantation, and embryo development 07:30 Male factor inflammation, sperm DNA fragmentation, and recurring infections 08:30 Embryo Audit Checklist + Functional Fertility Second Opinion: next steps This conversation is for women navigating diminished ovarian reserve, low AMH, high FSH, embryo arrest, implantation failure, or recurrent pregnancy loss who keep being told their bloodwork looks fine.

Why do so many of us feel constantly tired, foggy, or out of sync—despite doing “all the right things”?In this episode of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means to uncover the hidden driver behind modern health struggles: metabolic dysfunction. Drawing on insights from leading voices like Andrew Huberman and practical frameworks from Productivity Game, they explore how small daily habits can either drain or fuel our energy at a cellular level.From understanding the key biomarkers that predict long-term health to experimenting with food and movement routines that actually work for your body, this episode is a wake-up call—and a roadmap.If you want consistent energy, sharper focus, and a body that supports your ambitions, this conversation will show you where to start.Key ThemesMetabolic health as the foundation of energy and longevityThe cellular origins of chronic disease and fatigueThe impact of ultra-processed foods and sedentary lifestylesBiomarkers as a personal “health scorecard”The link between glucose regulation and daily performanceMovement as a biological necessity, not an optional extraPersonal experimentation as the path to optimal healthConcepts & BreakthroughsDr. Casey Means reframes health as something deeply measurable and actionable. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, she highlights how dysfunction begins at the cellular level—specifically within mitochondria, the engines of our energy. This perspective shifts the conversation from reactive healthcare to proactive self-optimization.One of the most powerful ideas is the concept of biomarkers as feedback loops. Metrics like blood glucose, cholesterol, and waist circumference aren't abstract medical data—they're signals. When tracked consistently, they provide early warnings and guide behavior change long before disease appears.The episode also challenges the default “three meals a day” paradigm. Through experimentation, Mike and Mark reveal how different eating patterns—like fasting, reducing processed carbs, or choosing slow-release foods like oats—can dramatically influence energy stability.Movement emerges as equally critical. It's not just about workouts; it's about integrating motion into daily life. Whether it's walking after meals or using a standing desk, these micro-adjustments compound into meaningful metabolic improvements.As highlighted in the episode, even simple habits like walking can outperform medication in certain contexts —a striking reminder that our biology responds powerfully to natural inputs.Habits, Tools & Mental Models1. The Biomarker ScorecardTrack key health indicators annually (or more often) to detect early signals and guide lifestyle changes.2. Food as Energy ProgrammingThink of every meal as an input that either stabilizes or spikes your energy. Prioritize whole, slow-release foods.3. The Experimentation MindsetThere is no universal diet. Test, observe, and refine what works best for your body.4. Movement SnacksBreak up sedentary time with small bursts of activity—walking, stretching, or light exercise every 30–60 minutes.5. Post-Meal MovementWalking after eating helps regulate glucose and improves energy levels.6. “Hacked Carbs” StrategyCooling and reheating carbs like rice or potatoes can improve their metabolic impact by increasing resistant starch.Listener TakeawaysYou can dramatically improve your daily energy by focusing on metabolic health, not just symptomsTracking a few key biomarkers gives you control over your long-term health trajectorySmall changes in diet—especially reducing processed carbs—can eliminate energy crashesConsistent, light movement throughout the day is more powerful than occasional intense workoutsYour ideal routine is personal—experiment to find what fuels your best performanceSustainable energy comes from stability, not spikesBetter health isn't about perfection—it's about awareness and adjustment

Protein is often hailed as the ultimate nutrient for health and longevity, but the science suggests it is only half of the equation. While social media influencers debate the minutiae of protein grams, researchers have found that the vast majority of protein's benefits are "baked in" only when combined with physical activity. Without the stimulus of exercise, even the most optimized protein intake fails to move the needle on muscle growth or chronic disease prevention.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Mike Haney sits down with Dr. Stuart Phillips, a researcher who has spent over 25 years at McMaster University studying the intersection of protein, exercise, and human health. Dr. Phillips breaks down why the current RDA for protein is likely too low for optimal health and why the methodology used to set those standards is decades out of date.Dr. Phillips explains the "brick wall" analogy of muscle turnover—where synthesis and breakdown are in a constant tug-of-war—and how lifting weights acts as the primary driver for "the bricklayers". From the impact of anabolic resistance in aging to the truth about protein timing and kidney health, he provides a grounded, data-driven perspective on how to maintain a functional reserve of muscle as we age.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠⁠⁠⁠In this episode, we coverThe RDA Debate: Why the standard 0.8 g/kg recommendation is a "preventing deficiency" baseline rather than an "optimized health" target.The Power of Exercise: Why 80% to 90% of protein's benefits are dependent on physical activity.Muscle as a Storage Depot: Understanding muscle as a functional reserve that dictates disease resistance and survival.Anabolic Resistance: How inactivity and aging make our cells less efficient at using amino acids.The Myth of Timing: Why the "anabolic window" is more like a "garage door" that stays open much longer than once thought.Protein Quality & Source: Comparing animal vs. plant proteins and why the "food matrix" matters more than isolated powders.Kidney Health: De-bunking the 60-year-old hypothesis that high protein intake causes kidney damage in healthy individuals.

Yet more GLP1 news this week.  People regain on average 60% of their lost weight within a year of stopping GLP-1 drugs — and the regained weight may be disproportionately fat rather than muscle.  So are a tool that biohackers have known about for years - CGMs - the answer?  Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer is the co-founder of Signos, the first ever FDA-cleared glucose system for weight management.
