Your immune system isn't just about fighting infections—it's a mirror of your overall metabolic health.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Dr. Sharon Bergquist, physician and Director of Emory's Healthy Aging and Resilient Aging Center, joins Mike Haney to unpack the science of immune resilience—how chronic inflammation, white blood cell patterns, and metabolism intertwine to shape long-term health.Dr. Bergquist explains why inflammation isn't always bad, how the immune system ages, and what you can do daily to build resilience.They discuss:The link between metabolic dysfunction and chronic low-grade inflammationHow white blood cell counts reveal immune status and stress levelsWhy gut and liver health are central to immune balancePractical habits that calm inflammation and support immune recoveryWhat it really means to have a “resilient” immune systemSign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnl
“In a world where we have so many wearables — smart rings, watches, glucose sensors — it’s challenging to integrate all of this information,” say Biolinq founder Jared Tangney and CEO Rich Yang. “So we decided to make it available to everybody in one device.” In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, the pair speak with Bloomberg Intelligence’s analyst Matt Henriksson about Biolinq’s microsensor-based patch that uses silicon semiconductor technology to track glucose and potentially other biomarkers. They also discuss the company’s commercial strategy for type 2 diabetes patients following its FDA de Novo approval, a US regulatory designation granted to first-of-its-kind medical devices that have been shown to be safe and effective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Grazing. Chronic stress. Poor sleep. Rushed meals. Sitting for long hours. Underfueled workouts. Estrogen decline. There's a lot more behind our fasting glucose and A1C than how many carbs we eat. This week we return to one of the most consistently requested topics: blood sugar meaning and management with Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN. We explore what glucose spikes really mean, why time-in-range and variability matter more than a single peak, and how stress, sleep, and even eating speed affect your numbers. We cover carb timing, meal sequencing, post-meal walks, creatine, why under-fueling can make exercise spikes worse, and much more so you can keep glucose working for your performance and overall health.Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN, heads up the clinical nutrition team at Nutrisense. Liz holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health and is a board-certified nutrition specialist (CNS) as well as a licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN). In her time as a nutritionist, Liz has educated and counseled hundreds of clients in areas such as weight loss, hormonal imbalances, and gastrointestinal diseases. Her approach is rooted in the tenets of functional medicine, and she strives to identify the root cause of the issue instead of simply treating the symptoms. She realizes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving optimal health and feels it is crucial to be in an equal partnership with her clients.

In this episode, we feature some of the winners of poster and oral presentation competitions at the 2025 ADSA Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Abstracts can be found here: ADSA 2025 Annual MeetingMS Oral Presentation, ProductionGuests: Trinidad Fernandez-Wallace and Dr. Lautaro Rostoll-Cangiano, University of Wisconsin-MadisonCo-host: Dr. Laura Niehues, BalchemAbstract 1218: Immunity at the crossroads of cellular metabolism: Navigating T helper shifts in the periparturient period of dairy cows. (0:08)Trinidad found that T-helper cell metabolism and proliferation were both upregulated after calving, which may impact the effectiveness of immune responses during the transition period. The group discusses if T-helper cells could be used as a marker of inflammation in the future and how Trinidad's results may have been different if samples had been collected between 3 and 28 days after calving.PhD Oral Presentation, ProductionGuests: Natnicha Taechachokevivat and Dr. Rafael Neves, Purdue UniversityCo-host: Dr. Sion Richards, Balchem Abstract 1107: Relationships between systemic inflammation, subclinical hypocalcemia, and hyperketonemia in clinically healthy Holstein cows. (8:07)Natnicha investigated the association of plasma haptoglobin (an inflammatory marker) on days 1 and 3 in milk with subclinical hypocalcemia and hyperketonemia. Systemic inflammation appears to be associated with subclinical hypocalcemia and hyperketonemia and reduced milk yield in multiparous cows. When multiparous cows exhibited both inflammation and metabolic disease indicators, they produced less milk; however, when primiparous cows exhibited both inflammation and metabolic disease indicators, they produced more milk. 3 Minute ThesisGuests: Savitha Saikumar and Dr. Diwaker Vyas, University of FloridaCo-host: Dr. Laura Niehues, BalchemAbstract 1548: Effects of peripartal supplementation of prototype postbiotics on intake, rumen fermentation, colostrum quality, and performance in transition dairy cows. (15:14)Savitha investigated the effects of a prototype postbiotic supplement in transition cows from 35 days before calving to 63 days after calving. Cows on the postbiotic treatment received 25 grams per day topdressed on their TMR. Before calving, the postbiotic had no effect on dry matter intake, body condition sore, body weight, or total VFAs. After calving, the postbiotic increased dry matter intake and milk yield after 6 weeks, and increased energy-corrected milk and fat-corrected milk with no effect on body weight, body condition score, or rumen fermentation profile.PhD Poster Guest: Amanda Fischer-Tlustos, University of Guelph Abstract 2012: Characterization of dry-period mammary acetate and glucose metabolism and their association with colostrum production in multiparous Holstein cattle. (25:15)Amanda's research evaluated acetate and glucose metabolism in the mammary gland during the dry and calving periods to better understand how colostrum is made. Acetate uptake by the udder remained fairly constant until one week before calving, when it started to increase. Glucose uptake did not increase until the onset of calving. Previous lactation milk production and far-off mammary metabolism were both negatively correlated with colostrum production. Amanda hypothesizes that high producing cows who have trouble drying off may have high amounts of metabolic activity in the mammary gland when they should have low activity, which may result in lower colostrum production at the subsequent calving. PhD Oral Presentation, Southern Branch DivisionGuests: Bridger Sparks and Dr. Clarissa Strieder-Barboza, Texas Tech UniversityCo-host: Dr. Ryan Pralle, BalchemAbstract 1215: Adipose tissue neuro-like cell profile changes with ketosis in dairy cows. (33:05)Bridger investigated neuro-like cells in the adipose tissue of cows with or without subclinical ketosis. The transcriptional profile of neuro-like cells changed when collected from cows with subclinical ketosis, which may indicate a potential regulatory role in adipose tissue metabolism. Perhaps modulation of neuro-like cells could potentially alleviate excessive adipose mobilization in the postpartum period. ADSA Graduate Student Division HighlightsGuests: Evelyn Yufeng Lin, North Carolina State University; Miranda Farricker, Cornell University; Conor McCabe, University of California-Davis; Dr. Maurice Eastridge, Ohio State University.

Insulin will activate fatty acid synthesis, triacylglycerol synthesis and cholesterol synthesis by dephosphorylating two key enzymes: acetyl CoA carboxylase and HMG CoA reductase. Insulin will upregulate lipoprotein lipase, increasing uptake of fatty acids from circulating chylomicrons into various tissues. Glucose will provide both precursors for triacylglycerol synthesis and fatty acid biosynthesis.

This episode covers Diabetes Research Bites exploring new research shaping the future of diabetes care, and not all of it is good news. Dr. Jedha breaks down new evidence showing that one long-standing class of diabetes drugs may increase heart disease risk and harm the very beta cells needed to produce insulin. She also exposes another round of misleading, industry-funded “food miracle” research.The episode then explores the growing concern of medication use in children as the drug Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is tested in kids as young as 10, raising serious ethical and safety questions about long-term effects. Finally, Dr. Jedha closes with encouraging insights, two studies revealing how your evening meal can directly influence your morning blood sugar, offering a practical strategy anyone can act on right away.For show notes and resources, please visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.comTo share your questions and suggestions, leave us a voice message or email at: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/messageExplore our proven programs and services, visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/programsSubscribe to our free weekly newsletter for podcast updates, valuable nutrition tips and more: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/subscribe
Is everything you've been told about nutrition wrong?In this explosive interview, Dr. Robert Kiltz and metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman dismantle mainstream dietary advice—from the myth of “healthy carbs” to the dangers of fruit, cereal, and even modern medicine's blind spots. Discover why insulin resistance is the root of most chronic diseases, how ketogenic and carnivore diets outperform conventional approaches, and why academia may be printing “monopoly money” when it comes to health research.
If you want to improve your energy and long-term health, start by understanding how your body uses glucose.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Dr. Benjamin Bikman, scientist and author of Why We Get Sick, joins Mike Haney to unpack the science of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance—and why blood sugar isn't the whole story.Dr. Bikman explains how insulin regulates energy balance, why HbA1c is only part of the picture, and how chronic high insulin can silently drive weight gain, fatigue, and metabolic disease. He also shares practical ways to lower insulin naturally through diet, exercise, and daily habits.They discuss:Why insulin, not glucose, is the root of metabolic dysfunctionWhat HbA1c and fasting glucose really tell youThe early signs of insulin resistance most people missHow muscle tissue protects against high glucose and insulinWhy low-carb and intermittent fasting aren't one-size-fits-allPractical nutrition and movement strategies for better metabolic flexibilitySign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnl
In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Gil Blander sits down with Florence Comite, MD, physician-scientist and founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity. They explore why a one-size-fits-all approach to longevity falls short and how personalized data, from biomarkers to genetics, can spot early signs of disease before symptoms appear.Florence explains her “Nof1” method, which uses deep testing, wearables, and personal history to craft precise health plans. She highlights how sleep, more than exercise or diet, shapes long-term health but remains hard for most people to optimize. Using real-world examples, Florence shows why tracking markers like insulin and hormones matter, and why most people need support to turn health knowledge into action.The conversation covers the limits of standard medical care, the value of knowing your family history, and how even the best routines must adapt over time. Florence urges listeners to get curious about their own data and take steps—however small—toward better health.Guest-at-a-Glance

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog When I go to Fitness Edge, the place I have worked out with weights twice a week for 38 years, I know I am increasing my muscle mass and my metabolism for the next 72 hours…that's right, after just an hour of lifting weights, my body burns more calories over the next 3 days. Lifting weights not only increases muscle mass, strength and is the key element in weight loss, because it raises resting metabolism throughout the day, even while you are sleeping. As long as I have been a physician, we always knew that exercise was important to health, but not until recently did medicine did not know WHY exercise is so important, and WHAT type of exercise is the most important to healthy aging. Recently the research has exploded with research that supports the metabolic truth that muscle mass, and resistance exercise (weight training, training with bands, calisthenics) is necessary for health and longevity! Even though this is a complicated science that is primarily addressed to professional athletes, there are several discoveries that everyone can understand and employ in their quest for a long and healthy life. Muscle Mass, Percent Body fat and Exercising Your total weight doesn't matter as much as your total muscle mass and percent body fat. So, the amount of muscle you have compared to the amount of fat is the key to metabolic health. Muscle burns calories and decreases blood sugar, while fat is metabolically inactive. However, the amount of muscle you have isn't as important as how often you use your muscles against gravity. That is what weight training is: lifting weights against gravity, using barbells, free weights, resistance bands or Nautilus-type machines. Muscle Is the Major Site of Glucose uptake The more muscle you have, and the more you exercise them the more blood sugar is metabolized into energy. Your muscles soak up glucose from the blood for 120 minutes after weight training, and insulin sensitivity increases for 16 hours after exercise. Metabolic stimulation continues for 72 hours. Those people with less muscle who don't exercise use extra glucose to make fat. Body Composition is Improved with Weight Training Body composition can be measured with our InBody Machine. We follow each of our patient's body composition instead of just getting a weight. We find that when measuring our patient's progress, the percent body fat inversely relates to their Basal Metabolic Rate. In other words, the lower the body fat percentage, the higher the metabolic rate. The higher the body fat %, the lower the number of calories that patient burns at rest. For example, a woman with 40% body fat, depending on her height, burns about 1,100 calories over 24 hours when at rest. If the same woman achieves the ideal percent body fat with medical dieting and achieves less than 26% body fat, she will increase her BMI to over 1,400 calories/ day at rest. Weight training alone will increase muscle mass and decrease fat with the outcome of increasing basal metabolic rate, so she will burn her calories instead of storing them as fat. In short, weight training to increase muscle mass will decrease body fat and improve metabolic health. Weight Training Can Reverse the Loss of Muscle that Comes with Aging The above statement is a tricky statement. Women can exercise with weights their whole life and maintain a healthy body composition until they turn 45, then weight training just can't do the job without adding testosterone pellets. It is the magic of testosterone pellets—Testosterone PLUS Weight Training increases and sustains muscle mass. “I have worked out with weights since my residency when I was 28 yo. I realized that because I was 5-3 and 118 lbs, I would not be strong enough to do my job, delivering babies, operating and lifting patients on and off the table. I began with a Nautilus circuit followed by 10 minutes on the treadmill 2-3 times a week. After I delivered my daughter, Rachel, I was 31 and I started training with a trainer because to get y body and strength back, I needed someone to make me accountable and to guide me to gaining strength where I needed it. I have lifted weights 2-3 times a week ever since at my training facility, Fitness Edge, across the street from my current medical office. As of last week my body fat is 19%, and my weight is now 113. I have shrunk a bit and am now 5-2. When I go to the Fitness Edge with my husband, John, I notice that many of the hardest working “fellow exercisers” never change their body composition. I would love to tell my fellow lifters that working out with weights is only part of the program to becoming strong and building good muscle mass. The fact is they need to increase their testosterone level if they are over 40 for females and 50 for males, to improve their muscle mass and decrease body fat, and their hard work will be repaid with visible, stronger muscles, Fat loss and improved and metabolism.” Dr. Maupin's Formula for Building Muscle after age 40: Weight Training 2-3 times a week Testosterone Pellet treatment in women over 40 and men over 50 Diet must include the number of grams of protein equal to your weight Low carb high protein/healthy fat diet Eliminate food with preservatives, canned food and processed food. Eat whole/fresh foods. Supplement with Creatine (if your kidneys are healthy), Arginine, Vitamin D, E, K and Vitamin C, multi vitamin with Methyl B12 and Methyl Folate, Probiotics, Magnesium 400-800 mg/day, Protein powder without Soy. Water consumption in oz = to ½-1x your weight in pounds If I have convinced you to start using weights regularly, here are the variety of types of resistance training that will build muscle and improve metabolism. Must exercise for 50 minutes at one time per day. Resistance Band Work Outs- you can do anywhere even at home. Body weight exercises like squats, push-ups, lunges, planks Free weights using dumbbells, kettle balls, bars Weight Machines that target one muscle group at a time. Now I Can Almost Hear Half of You Asking What About Aerobic Exercise? My best friend is a runner, and she has run marathons for decades, and now in her 60s, she is still fit and healthy without joint damage. Most of her fellow runners don't know that she also lifts weights to keep her in the running game…and she takes testosterone pellets. Most runners are fit and have strong hearts, but their muscle mass is not always robust. Cardio-exercises can improve cardiovascular health and burn calories during the activity itself. Strength Training builds muscle mass which has a long-term effect on the metabolism.If nothing else, I hope you are inspired to initiate a resistance training program to benefit your metabolism now and for your longevity in the future. YOU CAN DO IT!

Heart disease is still the number one killer in the U.S.—but are we even looking at the right markers to prevent it? In this eye-opening episode, Shana sits down with Dr. Urban Kiernan, founder and CEO of iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation, to break down what your lipid panel actually means, why total cholesterol and LDL often distract from the real risks, and how insulin resistance plays a central role in heart disease—especially during menopause. Dr. Kiernan shares how his biotech company is leveraging AI, protein therapy, and root-cause science to transform how we prevent and treat metabolic disease—and why most conventional approaches miss the mark entirely. If you've ever been confused by your labs, put on statins without a full explanation, or wondered why we're still seeing record rates of heart attacks and strokes, this conversation will bring clarity and direction.
Heather E. Whitson, MD, MHS explores how resilience—the ability to recover and adapt after stress or illness—changes across the lifespan. She explains that bounce back slows with age and that people age at different rates, influenced by biology, lifestyle, and environment. Studies connect lower inflammation, stronger cellular health, and emotional well-being to better recovery, such as regaining mobility after hip fracture or coping with persistent pain. Whitson also highlights how changes in the brain, like the buildup of amyloid and tau proteins, begin years before memory problems, underscoring the importance of early prevention. She points to practical steps that support resilience at any age: staying active, eating a Mediterranean style diet, managing blood pressure and blood sugar, protecting vision, engaging socially and mentally, prioritizing sleep, avoiding harmful exposures, and preventing injuries.

The glucose projector is a simple but powerful idea that can only come from someone who lives with type 1 – and sleeps with it! John DeLeo created a digital readout of CGM data that displays the number, and the time, right on the ceiling. John was diagnosed with type 1 in his 40s. We'll talk about his diagnosis, what lead him to this invention, the long road of bringing it to market, and more.

The relationship between diabetes and obesity was explained in simple terms, highlighting how excess weight leads to insulin resistance. As obesity increases, the effect of insulin in the body decreases. To compensate, the pancreatic beta cells have to work harder to maintain normal blood sugar. Over time, this constant strain on beta cells causes beta cell fatigue and eventual failure. Insulin is secreted from beta cells in two phases. The first phase of insulin release covers the postprandial spike of glucose, while the second phase continues its action for 4–6 hours. In type 1 diabetes, both these phases of insulin release are absent, which is why insulin replacement becomes absolutely necessary. While in T2DM, the first phase of insulin is lost, causing postprandial hyperglycemia. Dr. Gupta emphasized that HbA1c alone cannot provide a complete picture of diabetes control. While it reflects the average sugar level, it does not capture dangerous fluctuations. Glycemic variability—frequent ups and downs in sugar—poses a high risk, and therefore continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is extremely valuable. CGM not only shows the average but also the trends and time-in-range, helping patients and doctors achieve better stability. Dr. Kavita Gupta mainly focused on lifestyle and diet management. She explained the benefits of intermittent fasting and early dinner, pointing out that heavy meals late at night increase both sugar and weight. She suggested the “plate method” of eating: half the plate vegetables, one-fourth pulses or proteins, and one-fourth complex carbohydrates. She emphasized salads, sprouts, yogurt, and the importance of portion control. Addressing common confusion about fruits, she clarified that diabetic people can safely eat seasonal fruits in moderation, as long as juices are avoided and quantity/timing are considered. She also recommended a light “pre-dinner snack” such as fruit between lunch and dinner to prevent hypoglycemia and curb junk food cravings. Her overall message was clear: balanced diet, correct timing, and mindful eating are essential pillars of diabetes care.

Greater accessibility to glucose biosensors has led to their use to improve metabolic health, prevent disease, and feel better. Historically, these biosensors for monitoring glucose were only available with a prescription, often reserved for people with diabetes, but now with brands like Stelo, they are available over the counter. Dom D'Agostino, PhD, and Ben Grynol discuss how biosensors can be a tool for anyone to improve overall health, reduce risk for chronic diseases, manage women's health including menstrual cycles and the menopause transition, help with fueling strategies for workouts and performance, prevent energy crashes, and more.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnl

Over 90% of chronic disease stems from one lie taught to doctors, dieticians, nutritionists, and personal trainers worldwide. Glucose is the body's preferred energy source! If glucose is so good for you, why does your body do everything it can to eliminate it from your blood?The average thin person has about 100,000 calories of stored fat and only 1,700 calories of glucose. When you consume sugar, it's removed from the blood very quickly, and the excess sugar is converted into fat. The body requires a small amount of glucose, but your body can make this small amount.The single root cause of chronic disease is high glucose! Blood sugar spikes create inflammation on the inside of the arteries, leading to chronically high insulin levels to remove the sugar. The body compensates with insulin resistance to slow down the glucose that enters the cells. Early symptoms of insulin resistance include:•Frequent urination at night•Brain fog•Loss of memory•Belly fat•Visual problems•Mood issues•Anxiety•Depression•Excessive hunger/cravings•Heart palpitations•Fluid retention in ankles and feet•Sleep apnea These initial symptoms can ultimately lead to diabetes, dementia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. People are not taught about the dangers of sugar and carbohydrates. In fact, most people aren't worried about their high-carbohydrate diet because the food pyramid tells us that we should consume 65% of our calories from carbohydrates. This is a lie! low-carb diet of less than 30 grams of carbs per day is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. One study showed a 90% success rate of ceasing insulin use in 10 weeks on a low-carb diet!The food industry has created the lie that glucose is the preferred fuel because you can profit the most from refined carbohydrates!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.
In this episode, I explain cortisol and science-based protocols for properly setting your cortisol rhythm, which can significantly increase your daytime energy, focus, mood, and stress resilience, while also improving your sleep quality. Most people mistakenly think cortisol is bad, and many assume their levels are too high, when in fact many health and performance challenges simply stem from a disrupted cortisol rhythm. Getting your cortisol rhythm right can be transformative for your health and performance. I outline behavioral, nutritional, and supplement-based strategies to raise or lower your cortisol levels at the appropriate times of day and night. I also provide specific protocols for overcoming burnout.

Episode 2672 - BEST OF: Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Thomas Seyfried and they discuss metabolic dysfunction, glucose, glutamine, and cancer therapies. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/glucose-glutamine-cancer-dr-thomas-seyfried-episode-2672 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Glucose, Glutamine, and Cancer Vinnie explains why he recommends listening to Dr. Thomas Seyfried. (2:00) Vinnie has been in remission and avoided chemo for 17 years by leading a ketogenic lifestyle. There are all kinds of side effects from chemotherapy, even though it can save people. There have been several theories of disease. (8:00) NCI states that cancer is a genetic disease of dysregulated cell growth, called the somatic mutation theory. Another theory suggests that damage to organelles can cause mutations in cells, or that mutations may have a mitochondrial metabolic origin. The treatment of cancer as a metabolic disease also allows people to participate in the management of their disorder. He explains the importance of oxygen and energy and how they affect the cells. (11:00) This is known as the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer. Dr. Seyfried explains some fascinating experiments and theories. (14:00) Once there is an agreement on the mitochondrial metabolic theory, treatment for cancers could be much less toxic and more manageable. (17:00) Metabolically treating cancer can help because even if there is recurrence, it can often be treated with fewer chemicals. (20:00) The idea is to reduce or eliminate the cancer through diet and medication that target the fermentation metabolism. Glutamine is an amino acid and has many uses in the body. (22:30) Dr. Seyfried explains the press-pulse therapeutic strategy. The Glucose Ketone Index What kind of diet and supplementation can help those who may have cancer? (27:30) The Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) calculator and its function are explained. How the GKI happens varies per person, but if you can keep the GKI measurement at 2.0 mmol or below, you can put pressure on the tumor cells. (29:00) Each person is their own experiment, but low-carb is beneficial as it keeps your ketones active. Vinnie asks Dr. Seyfried to explain ketone measurements and monitors. (32:30) They discuss genetics, such as the BRCA1 mutation. (36:00) They discuss the frustration of some doctors' approaches to other diseases. (40:00) Type 2 diabetes has replaced smoking as the number one risk factor for cancer! (43:15) They discuss the challenges of today's diet and lifestyle. (46:00) Low-cost and convenience foods are taking their toll on society's health. Type 2 diabetes is a diet and lifestyle issue. Give people the opportunity to make their own choices. Many doctors need to be re-educated, and people need to know all their options. (50:30) Processed food and glucose are a highly addictive force on the brain. (51:00) Dr. Seyfried is a professor who shares information about and is developing a protocol, which he hopes will be available soon.
