Send us a textIn this solo episode, I'm diving deep into one of my favorite metabolic hacks: the humble postprandial stroll. As a physiologist and health coach, I've seen firsthand how this 10-15 minute habit can outsize its effort—slashing blood sugar spikes, turbocharging GLUT4 transporters, and unlocking the soleus muscle's “secret” glucose-burning superpowers. With metabolic chaos everywhere, I'll break down why moving after meals isn't just about steps—it's about reclaiming energy, mood, and longevity through a lens of modern physiology.I'll geek out on studies to show why timing your walk matters more than duration, how calf raises can save the day when you're stuck at a desk, and why chewing your food like an Ayurvedic pro pairs perfectly with post-meal movement. Spoiler: Big Pharma's GLP-1 agonists? We can boost those naturally. I'll also share why dinner timing + a stroll might be your sleep's new best friend, and how skipping this habit keeps you on the blood sugar rollercoaster. This episode is for anyone tired of post-meal slumps, brain fog, or fearing carbs. I'm handing you the science to transform walking (or calf raises!) into a “micro-dose” of metabolic magic. Whether you're optimizing for performance, longevity, or just want to feel lighter after meals, let's make postprandial strolls your non-negotiable. Ready to move with your metabolism—not against it?

In this episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Ben Bikman explores the metabolic effects of estrogens, particularly their role in glucose metabolism.Estrogens, mainly produced in the gonads, play a crucial role in regulating blood glucose by enhancing insulin sensitivity. Dr. Bikman explained that estrogens improve insulin signaling through pathways such as PI3 kinase and AKT, which are essential for glucose uptake in muscle and fat tissues. Additionally, estrogens activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), further promoting glucose uptake and maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.Estrogens also suppress glucose production in the liver by inhibiting key enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, helping to prevent excess glucose release into the bloodstream. In contrast, progesterone decreases insulin sensitivity and promotes insulin resistance, counteracting some of estrogen's beneficial effects. This hormonal interplay affects glucose metabolism during the ovarian cycle, with estrogen-dominant phases being more favorable for glucose control.During menopause, the significant drop in estrogen levels leads to increased insulin resistance and shifts in fat storage, often resulting in more central fat accumulation. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can mitigate some of these changes, it comes with risks that need careful consideration. Ben emphasizes the significant role of estrogens in glucose metabolism and their broader impact on metabolic health, especially in women.https://www.insuliniq.com 01:19 - Overview of Estrogens and Progesterone02:20 - Cholesterol as the Precursor to Sex Hormones03:34 - The Role of Aromatase in Estrogen Production04:32 - Understanding the Family of Estrogens05:56 - Estrogens and Glucose Metabolism: Key Signaling Pathways06:54 - Insulin Signaling Pathway Overview08:57 - How Estrogens Enhance Insulin Sensitivity10:04 - The Role of AMPK in Glucose Uptake12:11 - Estrogens' Dual Mechanism in Regulating Glucose Levels13:18 - The Impact of Estrogens on Liver Glucose Production15:33 - Estrogens' Role in Suppressing Gluconeogenesis17:07 - Why Women Have Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes19:28 - Metabolic Effects During the Ovarian Cycle21:54 - Progesterone's Influence on Insulin Resistance and Fat Storage25:16 - The Shift in Fat Storage Patterns Post-Menopause26:16 - Hormone Replacement Therapy: Metabolic ConsiderationsPI3K activation leads to the phosphorylation of Akt, a key protein in glucose metabolism, which promotes the translocation of GLUT4 (glucose transporter type 4) to the cell membrane, facilitating glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S155041311930138X?via%3Dihub AMPK acts as an energy sensor and helps maintain cellular energy balance, which is crucial in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12013-015-0521-z Progesterone increases blood glucose levels by enhancing hepatic gluconeogenesis.

Even as we prioritize natural interventions in functional medicine, GLP-1 agonist drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic offer sometimes life-changing support for those who have long struggled with resistant overweight/obesity and high blood sugar. However, there are side effects, including the risk of substantial muscle loss and sagging, aged skin ("Ozempic face" as it's indelicately known). It's a concern that hits home for me, considering the pivotal role we know that muscle plays in overall health and longevity. In this New Frontiers podcast episode I welcome back Dr. Anurag Singh to unravel the complexities of these issues. We explore the interplay between metabolic health and muscle preservation, touching on everything from the mechanisms of GLP-1 agonists and their long-term effects on aging and sarcopenia, to the promising potential of dietary and lifestyle interventions to counteract negative effects. We consider the potential for one of my all-time fave postbiotic epinutrients - Urolithin A - to assist by supporting mitochondrial health and preserving/enhancing muscle quality.

Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, emphasizes the importance of managing carbohydrate and fat intake in a diet. He stresses that consuming high carbohydrates and fats simultaneously can cause adverse health effects, highlighting the relationship between our enzymatic machinery and the foods we eat. Cyrus's research has shown that a high-carb diet can work efficiently when fat intake is low and vice versa. He further touches on the Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio, emphasizing its importance in managing inflammation. The discussion advocates for tailored nutritional advice and supplementation based on individual needs. #CarbohydrateBalance #FatIntake #InflammationControl

Welcome to the 16th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications.  We are very excited to feature a January issue Brain article, where we speak with senior author Dr Lasse M Giil entitled:  Impaired glucose utilization in the brain of patients with delirium following hip fracture Delirium is a common condition with significant impact on patient outcome. This episode discussed potential intrinsic brain mechanisms that may underly delirium. The team explores the evidence that delirium is more than just a systemic process that extends into the brain but may involve pathophysiological alterations of brain function. Listen to how this may change clinical practice.  Check out the full article on the Brain website: https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awad296 This episode was co-hosted by Andreas Themistocleous and Michael David,  edited and produced by Michael David and Xin You Tai, co-produced by Antonia Johnston, original music by Ammar Al-Chalabi.

GUEST: Kevin Brindle, CambridgeIn this episode we welcome the one and only Kevin Brindle from University of Cambridge.During his long and illustrious career, Kevin pioneered hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a method to map metabolic flux in cancer and other diseases, with implications for treatment response monitoring.We explore how deuterium imaging and [18F]FDG PET can be used to track the metabolic changes that occur soon after stroke and during the recovery phase. We discuss the complementary information that these two techniques provide and whether they could be used to improve clinical outcomes.Along the way, we learn how Kevin could have worked in structural biology or been a painter and decorator... and how he used to meet his wife-to-be in the cold room when he was a postdoc at Oxford.Selected Publication: In vivo imaging of cerebral glucose metabolism informs on subacute to chronic post-stroke tissue status - A pilot study combining PET and deuterium metabolic imaging.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can severely damage the body's circulatory vessels, which inhibits oxygen, hormones, and nutrients from getting to vital body tissues. Patients with Long COVID have been shown to have impaired microcirculation up to 18 months after infection, and possibly even longer if those vessels aren't repaired. Damaged microcirculation can lead to many of the symptoms of Long COVID including fatigue, difficulty recovering from exercise, brain fog, sluggish brain function, muscle weakness, depressed mood, loss of smell and taste, to name a few of the most common symptoms. Mango fruit powder has been shown to improve microcirculation in a couple of excellent studies I will cover below. Mango (Mangifera indica) has the following properties: · Rich in polyphenols · Activates Sirt-1 – antioxidant, improves endothelial function, anti-inflammatory, enhances metabolism · Activates AMPK – improves muscle glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, hepatic fatty acid oxidation, lipid homeostasis, balances blood sugar, improves endothelial function · Improves eNOS – improves endothelial function, increases energy, antioxidant · Supports mitochondrial neogenesis The first study entitled “Effects of Mangifera indica (Careless) on Microcirculation and Glucose Metabolism in Healthy Volunteers” was a double-blind, randomized study. The name “Careless” was changed to “Careflow” for good reason because it is more descriptive of the benefits of mango fruit powder. 204 subjects were divided into three groups. One group took 100 mg a day of mango fruit powder. The second group took 300 mg of mango fruit powder. And the third group was the placebo group. Mango fruit powder was taken every day for 4 weeks. Microcirculation and endothelial function were assessed. Microcirculatory reactive hyperemia flow increased, especially in the 100 mg group. 300 mg of the mango fruit preparation reduced postprandial glucose levels compared to placebo, accompanied by significantly lower HbA1c values compared to baseline. 300 mg intake significantly improved postprandial endothelial function in individuals with decreased endothelial function after high-dose glucose intake. Both doses were well tolerated without side effects. The second study entitled “In Vitro Activation of eNOS by Mangifera indica (Careless™) and Determination of an Effective Dosage in a Randomized, Double-Blind, Human Pilot Study on Microcirculation” showed similar results on microcirculation. In this study, a dose of 100 mg or 300 mg of mango fruit powder was given to see the effects on microcirculation in a randomized, double-blind, crossover pilot study in ten healthy women. Both doses improved cutaneous blood flow, indicating improved microcirculation. Both doses were well tolerated without side effects. Both of the above studies clearly show the benefits of mango fruit powder on microcirculation which can help patients with Long COVID. Why not just eat mangos? Careflow, the mango fruit powder used in these studies, is standardized to 0.03% mangiferin which is vital for maximum effectiveness. Additionally, the mango subspecies used in Careflow is called “Kili-mooku” as opposed to the “Alfonso” mangos found in supermarkets. Mangos are cultivated in the South of India in the Tamil Nadu region as opposed to Brazil and Peru where commercial mangos come from. Kili-mooku mangos are harvested just at the right time when the beneficial plant ingredients are at their highest levels and manufactured in Germany to the highest standards. I designed VascuSelect by Moss Nutrition to contain 100 mg of Careflow standardized mango whole fruit powder along with grape seed extract and ginkgo biloba to repair and restore microcirculation. This makes VascuSelect a perfect formula for those suffering with Long COVID. I use one capsule twice a day with my patients suffering from Long COVID.

Picture insulin as a key that unlocks the doors of our cells, allowing glucose to enter and power our bodies. When this intricate dance falters, as in diabetes, it can lead to a terrible symphony of health issues. So, think of insulin as the ultimate conductor, directing the harmonious flow of energy that keeps us in tune with life's rhythms. In this week's episode of the Ten-Minute Medic, we look at how important this hormone is and a little deeper at how it works.  Our next podcast is entitled "The Three Great Imposters"...a look at three common STEMI imposters.  Identifying STEMI imposters is like distinguishing a wolf in sheep's clothing in the world of heart emergencies. These cunning look-alikes, such as pericarditis or benign chest pain, mimic the deadly ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), leading to unnecessary panic and invasive treatments.

I get into the mineral side of things as always...Remineralizing in the body helps with our ability to improve glucose metabolism at a very deep level this also gives a level of food diversity back to the person so a high protein or restrictive low carb diet is not necessary. Restoring glucose and carbohydrate metabolism is really about restoring the body's energy system. It's kind of like if the fuel system in the car wasn't working right you wouldn't get enough power to run the car. The same is true in the human body. I referred to my blog post I also recorded as a podcast: Could you be hypoglycemic without even knowing it?

Glenn McConell chats with Professor David Wasserman from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. David is recognised as an absolute authority on glucose homeostasis. His research focuses on how the system acts to protect sugar levels during exercise and disease. This talk is wide ranging with a focus on the liver. We discuss the large range of roles of the liver, how it maintains blood glucose levels at rest and in particular during exercise. The role of circulating hormones in the regulation of liver glucose output during exercise is a focus. Professor Wasserman has been at the forefront of this aspect of hormonal research for over 30 years. We then discuss insulin resistance and the liver and how exercise can increase insulin sensitivity (reduce insulin resistance) in various organs, including the liver. In addition, we touch on organ cross talk during exercise. David's father, Karlman Wasserman was a legend in exercise physiology and well known for his anaerobic threshold concept. David proudly discusses how he was also a very well regarded and internationally renowned pulmonary physician who saved many lives, including once saving a woman's life who was choking in a restaurant, using his swiss army knife and a straw!

Medical research has shown that Insulin resistance is a primary factor for over 70% of women with PCOS and yet most women I work with and talk to have been told by their doctor that their blood sugar is fine and that they are not insulin resistant. So what's the deal with insulin and PCOS and is it something that you should be addressing in order to reverse your PCOS? Well, my friend that is what this episode is all about so hit play to listen now!The insulin effect Notice how I didn't say insulin resistance. There is a big difference and it is really important to understand the importance of the insulin effect if you want to reverse your PCOS naturally. that I want you to understand. So what is insulin and how does it affect your PCOS hormones?When you eat something it is broken down and released into your body as glucose (that's another name for blood sugar). So by choosing the foods you eat smartly and combining certain foods to lessen their insulin effect you can greatly improve your PCOS hormones. In this episode, you will learn about what foods worsen the insulin effect and your PCOS (spoiler alert….it's not just sugar).  And more importantly, you will learn what foods will help to improve your insulin effect and assist you in reversing your PCOS…..and it doesn't require you to never eat certain foods again. When you are armed with the food knowledge packed into this episode you will be able to make serious progress toward reversing your PCOS! Are you ready? Go ahead and listen to this episode where I not only share how insulin is working in your body but some simple actionable steps to use this information to heal your PCOS naturally! Happy listening!

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Any time you eat something sweet, that food substance causes neuropod cells in the gut to send parallel signals to the brain which activates dopamine and tells us to seek out and eat more sweet foodsGlucose is the preferred source of fuel for the brain and nervous system (in a typical diet regimen): mechanisms hardwired into us that make it difficult not to eat the sweet food or give in to the cravingGetting sweet things into the body has a bit to do with the taste but just as much to do with the nutritive component for the nervous system those sweet things carryFruits have been improperly demonized; the fructose content of fruit is quite low – it's the high fructose corn syrups and sugary beverages we really want to avoidIt's no accident that “hidden sugars” are hidden with salt or other flavors – it's done so people will ingest more of a particular food regardless of how sweet that food tastesThe case for eliminating or reducing sugary drinks: if glucose is replaced with fructose in sugary drinks, there's a decrease in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome associated with high fructose corn syrup, even if the same number of calories is ingestedSleep! Quality sleep is critical to form a firm foundation of proper metabolism and to help combat sugar cravingsHome remedies to offset glucose spikes: (1) a few tablespoons of lemon juice or lime juice – or (2) a little pure cinnamon – before, during, or after a large meal or sugar intake can blunt glucose responseRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgI explain how to blunt sugar cravings through fundamental knowledge of how sugar is sensed, metabolized, and utilized within the body. I explain how sugar is processed through the digestive tract and nervous system and how both the taste and nutritive components of sugar can lead to specific appetite changes and cravings. I discuss the connection between sugar, dopamine, and cravings and outline many tools to curb sugar cravings, specifically craving highly processed refined sugars.
