For years, many believed that eating more protein would block the body's cellular clean-up process, and that only low-protein fasting diets could deliver longevity benefits. But does the science actually back that up? This new randomized controlled trial put high-protein and low-protein diets head-to-head, measuring weight loss, belly fat, metabolic health, and markers of autophagy. The results may surprise you — and they could change how we think about protein for fat loss and longevity.

Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website. Today, I'm excited to be talking all about hormones, fertility, and PCOS with dietitian and nutritionist Melissa Groves Azzaro. Melissa is the host of the "Hormonally Yours" podcast, and author of the book "A Balanced Approach to PCOS." Her podcast focuses on science based information about PCOS, fertility, and other hormone imbalances. She works with clients to figure out the root cause of their PCOS symptoms, and creates personalized plans for clients that go way beyond their diet to get them feeling better. In this interview, Melissa walks us through some diet options that help balance blood sugar and hormones, which can help with PCOS symptoms. She uses the acronym PFF (protein, fat, and fiber), and I can't wait for you to hear her explain it! We're going to be talking about the role a stressful lifestyle may play in infertility and PCOS, how diet impacts PCOS, and how you can make simple changes to improve your health and fertility outcomes.

What if the very tests your doctor says are “normal” are actually missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or out of balance? For millions of people, thyroid issues are at the heart of their symptoms — yet they're often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistreated. In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C — a physician associate, TEDx speaker, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic — to uncover the truth about thyroid health and the issues with how the conventional model addresses it. McCall shares both her medical expertise and her personal journey with hypothyroidism, shedding light on why so many patients aren't getting the answers they need and what we can do differently. Together, we explore the crucial differences between Hashimoto's, Graves', and hypothyroidism, why relying on TSH markers alone misses the bigger picture, and the labs that actually matter. We talk about the role of inflammation, toxins, and stress in autoimmune thyroid disease, as well as the hidden connections between thyroid health, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. McCall also opens up about controversial topics many doctors don't discuss — from the risks of birth control and misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy to the overuse of GLP-1 drugs. And she offers practical, empowering lifestyle shifts — from food to relationships to microdosing peptides — that can make a profound difference in daily health. This is an eye-opening and life-changing conversation for anyone who has ever been told their labs are “normal” but still knows something isn't right. Key Moments You'll Love✨:
#221: What if your period was actually the key to your next promotion? In this powerful episode, we're joined by Karla Vitrone—former creative director turned femtech founder and talent strategist—to talk about why your reproductive cycle isn't something to push through, but something to leverage. Karla breaks down how syncing your career with your hormones can help you avoid burnout, improve leadership, boost creativity, and show up more confidently at work. We cover how hormonal misalignment can look like imposter syndrome or exhaustion, the “perimenopause glass ceiling” no one talks about, and how to build a career that works with your biology—not against it. Whether you're just starting out or leading the room, this conversation will change the way you think about your body, your energy, and your potential.For Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company and author of The DNA Way. Kashif has pioneered the field of functional genomics, using DNA as a roadmap to optimize prevention, performance, and longevity. Through his own healing journey and years of research, Kashif reveals how our unique genetic blueprint influences everything from mitochondrial capacity and detox pathways to hormone balance, brain health, and even how we age. Expect a fascinating deep dive into the science of DNA, personalized health, and practical tools you can use today to align your lifestyle with your genetics. Key Topics Covered Kashif's Origin Story – How a personal health crisis and his mother's recovery from arthritis inspired him to explore functional genomics. Functional vs. Traditional Genetics – Why standard DNA reports are often unhelpful, and how functional genomics provides actionable insights. The Science of Aging – How telomeres, oxidative stress, and gene expression drive aging — and why humans are genetically designed to live 120 years. Nutrition & Genes – How your DNA determines whether you thrive on keto, plant-based diets, or specific nutrient forms like retinol vs. beta carotene. Detoxification & Cellular Health – Why impaired pathways for glutathione, methylation, and mitochondrial function accelerate disease risk. Hormones & Healthspan – Genetic factors in estrogen/testosterone balance, women's hormone health, libido, fertility, and even body type. Heart Rate Variability & Longevity – HRV as a powerful biomarker for parasympathetic health, metabolic reset, and mitochondrial resilience. Cardiovascular & Mitochondrial Health – How genetics impact endothelial repair, cholesterol use, and red light therapy's role in energy optimization. Practical Genomic Strategies – Supplements, diet, and lifestyle hacks that align with your DNA to improve resilience, energy, and long-term vitality. Key Quotes Kashif Khan: “Functional genomics isn't about telling you what disease you might get — it's about showing you which pathways are broken and how to fix them.” “Aging is simply your DNA instruction manual becoming illegible. Protect your DNA, and you protect your youth.” “You don't need to add 50 years to your life. You were already designed for 120 — you just need to stop taking years away.” Dr. Mike Belkowski: “The practical applications of genomics are what excite me most — this isn't just data, it's a blueprint for vitality.” “Listening to you break down my DNA felt like holding up a mirror — it explained things I didn't even know about myself.” Episode Timeline 00:00 – Introduction: Why nuclear DNA is as critical as mitochondrial DNA 02:00 – Kashif's personal health journey and founding The DNA Company 05:30 – Functional genomics vs. traditional DNA reports 12:00 – How DNA damage and telomere loss drive aging 19:30 – Hormone genetics: testosterone, estrogen, and body type 27:00 – Nutrition by your genes: keto, veganism, nutrient pathways 34:00 – Cardiovascular genetics: cholesterol, nitric oxide, and endothelial repair 41:00 – Methylation, gene expression, and adaptability 59:00 – Testosterone, estrogen dominance, and lifestyle choices 1:16:00 – HRV, vagus nerve stimulation, and longevity biomarkers 1:20:00 – Closing thoughts and Kashif's sense of purpose Resources & References Book: The DNA Way – Kashif Khan Kashif Khan Official: Website | Instagram @kashkhanofficial The DNA Company – Functional Genomics Research Dr. Sachin Patel – Metabolic Reset Program (HRV-based longevity coaching) Cardio Miracle & Caraway Artery – Nutritional support for endothelial health Stay Connected Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram @dr.mikebelkowski | LinkedIn | Facebook | BioLight Kashif Khan: Instagram @kashkhanofficial | KashKhanOfficial.com Don Bailey: X @DonBaileySpeaks

Molecular-medicine expert Dr. Nathan Bryan explains how nitric oxide (NO) protects the endothelium, drives vasodilation, and influences energy, immunity, hormones, and longevity. He links stubborn hypertension and poor exercise tolerance to the microbiome–NO axis and outlines common NO killers—antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride overuse, chronic PPIs, ultra-processed diets, and inactivity. We cover practical restores (movement, nutrient-dense food, targeted micronutrients, careful PPI weaning, ditching antiseptic rinses) and preview clinical work on NO-releasing lozenges for ischemic heart disease, approaches to improve cerebral blood flow and insulin signaling in cognitive decline, and topical NO for chronic wounds. Bryan also touches on food quality (glyphosate, soil health), hormone synergy with NO, and NO-based skincare that supports perfusion and collagen. Bottom line: rebuild NO, and the body's own repair systems can finally do their job.(Educational only; not personal medical advice.)Guest BioNathan S. Bryan, PhD is a molecular medicine researcher and leading authority on nitric oxide (NO) biochemistry. Over two decades, he has mapped how the body generates and uses NO—and what happens when it doesn't—publishing widely, authoring multiple books, and translating discoveries into products and late-stage drug trials. His work spans cardiovascular health, metabolism, neurocognition, wound healing, and skin biology, with a focus on restoring NO as a foundation for repair. Dr. Bryan speaks globally on NO and leads development of NO-based therapeutics targeting ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and non-healing ulcers. GET SOCIAL WITH US!

On today's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Karl Lambert, a nurse practitioner and founder of Pacific Northwest Wellness, who has become a bold voice against the mainstream medical narrative.Lambert recounts testifying before a Washington State health board, where he and other medical professionals presented compelling data against the continuation of Covid-19 vaccine policies—only to watch the board double down on mandates for children and adults. He also challenges the blind acceptance of Tylenol despite its impact on liver health and glutathione depletion, connecting the dots to how “standard protocols” may have worsened Covid outcomes.This conversation dives deep into the controversial crossroads of medicine: from AI-powered heart scans revealing unexpected inflammation in the vaccinated, to hormone disruption caused by food, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, to the untapped potential of peptides and natural therapies. Lambert argues that the insurance-driven “factory model” of medicine is broken—and only personalized, patient-focused care can turn the tide.

Weight after 40 can feel like an uphill battle. Hormones shift, metabolism slows, and what worked in our 20s simply doesn't cut it anymore. In this episode, we dive deep into the role of weight loss medications — including GLP-1s like Mounjaro and Ozempic — and what women over 40 need to know before considering them. We explore how these medications actually work in the body, who they're designed for, and the risks and side effects that often get overlooked. Just as importantly, we discuss why medication alone isn't the answer — and how nutrition, and strength training must be part of the bigger picture for lasting results. This is a no-nonsense conversation that strips away hype and confusion, giving you the science and strategy to make informed choices. If you've felt stuck, frustrated, or tired of guessing, this episode offers clarity on how medications can fit into a safe, sustainable plan for women over 40.

In this groundbreaking episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with award-winning researcher and author Dr. Sarah Hill (This Is Your Brain on Birth Control) to reveal the shocking, little-known science of how hormonal contraception shapes not just your reproductive system, but your entire mind and body.From altered stress responses to shifts in attraction, depression risk in teens, and the controversial “bikini science” problem in medical research, Dr. Hill pulls back the curtain on decades of overlooked studies that every woman and parent should know about.

I know there are so many women and couples that are currently experiencing a deeply personal journey in trying to start a family. Infertility is on the rise and it is deeply affecting couples on a spiritual, emotional and physical level. Couples feel hopeless, depleted, and even financially overwhelmed. That is why I feel like today's conversation is meant for you to hear today. I believe we all should have answers to why we are struggling in the first place and maybe we have yet to find the solution to that struggle. I brought on my guest today to explain why we may be struggling to get pregnant, how we can get to the root cause of our infertility, and then most importantly set ourselves up for success so that not only can you get pregnant, but as well hold the pregnancy Welcome my guest, Dr. Aumatma Simmons.

Are your hormones really the problem—or is it your minerals? In this episode, I break down the hidden link between minerals, hormones, and fertility that most women (and even many doctors) completely overlook. You'll learn: Why minerals like magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine, and iron are the spark plugs for healthy hormone balance How mineral imbalances can show up as PMS, irregular cycles, thyroid struggles, spotting, or low progesterone The “big five” minerals that matter most for fertility and how to start supporting them through food and simple daily habits Why testing (like HTMA) takes the guesswork out of balancing your minerals How mineral balance also supports male fertility (yes, partners matter too!) If you've been trying to conceive and feel like you're “doing everything right,” this episode will help you see fertility in a whole new way.
