  What if PCOS, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune disease aren't lifelong sentences—but clues your doctor is missing?     In this powerful episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with bestselling author and patient advocate Daria Anne DiGiovanni to unpack decades of unanswered symptoms, medical gaslighting, and the truth about functional medicine. Daria shares her deeply personal journey through PCOS, insulin resistance, endometriosis, and Hashimoto's—and how conventional medicine repeatedly failed to look upstream.     Together, Lisa and Daria break down why the insurance-based healthcare model isn't built for chronic illness, how subtle symptoms get dismissed for years, and why women must take ownership of their health data, labs, and healing decisions. You'll learn how fasting insulin, inflammation markers, and hormone balance reveal what standard bloodwork often ignores—and why investing in the right practitioner can be life-changing.     This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with unexplained symptoms, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalance, or frustration with the "just deal with it" medical mindset.

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, host Cade Archibald sits down with Derek Norsworthy, CEO of NeuroCatch, to explore a breakthrough approach to cognitive assessment using objective “brain vital signs.” Derek shares how NeuroCatch evolved from decades of neuroscience research into a point-of-care tool designed to measure cognitive function with lab-level sensitivity—helping clinicians move beyond subjective questionnaires and “you seem fine” evaluations. Together, they discuss how NeuroCatch is used to establish baseline brain performance, track improvements from longevity and brain-optimization protocols (including peptides, stem cells, HBOT, red light, and other interventions), and detect subclinical cognitive changes that may not appear on MRI/CT or standard assessments. Derek also recounts his personal health journey from burnout and hormone disruption to functional medicine recovery, reinforcing the episode's theme: better outcomes happen when innovative technology and integrative care meet in the middle. Derek Norsworthy: I began my career as a clinical professional and evolved into a recognized leader in healthcare technology, specializing in the integration of electronic health record systems and innovation across large U.S. health systems. Through roles as a strategic advisor, business consultant, and healthcare entrepreneur, I've guided organizations in adopting advanced technologies to improve clinical workflows, operations, and patient outcomes. Now serving as CEO of HealthtechConnex, I bring my clinical experience and passion for innovation full circle to help bring cutting-edge health technologies to market. Beyond healthcare, I'm a husband, father, endurance athlete, leadership coach, and technology entrepreneur, driven by a mission to inspire others with the tools, mindset, and confidence to live life fully.LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE DEREK:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-norsworthy-88427530b/LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/AGELESS FUTURE RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldDISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Amber Warren, PA-C, is joined by functional medicine nurse practitioner Heather Lucas, MSN, FNP-C, to explain the science behind GLP-1–based therapies and metabolic weight loss. They break down how GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon influence appetite, insulin resistance, and fat metabolism, and discuss how therapies such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging triple agonists are used in metabolic care.This episode explores why improving metabolic health requires more than appetite suppression, highlighting the role of nutrition, strength training, sleep, stress, and gut health. Learn how peptides may be used as functional medicine tools to support fat loss, protect muscle, and improve long-term metabolic health.

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, host Cade Archibald reframes aging as a modular, systems-based process rather than a simple function of time. Drawing on the Hallmarks of Aging and the geroscience framework, Cade explores how different biological systems—immune function, mitochondrial health, stem cell signaling, cellular senescence, vascular elasticity, brain plasticity, and nutrient sensing—decline at different rates and influence one another. He explains how chronic inflammation acts as a unifying driver of dysfunction and highlights practical strategies to target specific aging bottlenecks, including nutrition, exercise, mitochondrial optimization, peptides, detoxification, and metabolic support. The core message: aging is not inevitable or uniform—it's engineerable. By focusing on system repair instead of surface-level anti-aging, we can enhance resilience, cognitive function, recovery, and long-term vitality.AGELESS FUTURE:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Many parents feel overwhelmed and isolated when their child is struggling with developmental delays or autism spectrum challenges, especially when traditional approaches offer limited answers.   On today's episode, we're joined by Winnie Odhiambo, an Integrative Health Practitioner and retired U.S. Air Force Major, who supports parents of children on the autism spectrum through functional medicine and nervous system regulation.   Winnie shares her personal journey from burnout and "normal" lab results to discovering functional medicine, and how her son's developmental regression led her to pursue advanced training so she could become an active part of his healing team.   She explains how addressing underlying imbalances through functional lab testing, gut health support, nutrition, and primitive reflex integration helped her son regain communication, sensory tolerance, and confidence.   If you want to learn how to support children on the spectrum by addressing root causes, validating parents' experiences, and creating meaningful change for the entire family, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 421.   Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/421   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

Longevity, Cash PT, and Skating Where the Puck Is Going In this episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Doc Danny talks about why he keeps coming back to one big theme: longevity. He looks at how the market around proactive health, functional medicine, and long-term performance is exploding and why cash-based clinics are perfectly positioned to play a major role. If you want to move beyond "fix the injury and discharge" and build an ongoing longevity offer, this episode lays out the opportunity and the mindset behind it. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why patient experience is a competitive edge in cash-based practices How Claire gives you an operational advantage your patients can actually feel Why Danny has always tried to "skate where the puck is going" in healthcare How cash-based PT went from rare to common in a decade Why functional medicine and longevity clinics are booming The role PTs can play as movement-focused, accountability-driven "quarterbacks" How one training partner's transformation turned into a walking case study Why generational health change makes this work bigger than a single patient Ways to start building or partnering into a longevity offer inside your clinic Claire: The Patient-Experience Edge in a Cash Practice Danny opens by talking about what really matters in a cash-based clinic: patient experience. When people are paying out of pocket, they notice everything. He makes a simple comparison: While your competitors step out mid-session to catch up on notes, you stay fully engaged. While they stay late at the clinic finishing documentation, you are following up with patients and planning their next visits. That is the competitive edge Claire gives you. Claire is PT Biz's AI scribe, trained specifically for physical therapists. It handles your documentation instantly in the background, so your time and attention stay on your patient, not on your EMR. The result: Better in-room experience Better retention and follow-up Smoother, more efficient operations Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai Skating Where the Puck Is Going Danny has always tried to pay attention to where health and wellness are headed, not just where they are today. Back in 2014, when he and his wife opened Athlete's Potential in Atlanta, cash-based PT clinics were rare. He only knew of one other in the city, but he saw more and more of them popping up on the West Coast, especially in California. That was his signal that a trend was forming. Fast forward more than a decade and there are now dozens of cash-based clinics in Atlanta alone. Many of them are true businesses with teams, multiple locations, and the kind of systems that support seven-figure revenue and even sales to private equity or hospital groups. That bet — skating to where the puck was going — paid off. The Next Wave: Longevity and Proactive Health Now, Danny sees a similar wave building around longevity and proactive healthcare. He shares the story of a training partner he has worked out with for the past couple of years. Together they have tracked: Blood panels year over year Body composition with tools like InBody Sleep and recovery data using wearables like Whoop The changes in that friend's biomarkers, physical capacity, and day-to-day energy have been dramatic. Friends who have known him for years almost do not recognize how much healthier and more capable he is. That kind of transformation is exactly what more people are starting to want. And the broader market is responding. Functional Medicine and Longevity Are Booming Danny points to the rapid growth of functional medicine, lifestyle medicine, and longevity-focused services as a sign this is not a fad. He has seen: Naturopathic and functional medicine clinics expanding quickly Providers leaving hospital systems to start proactive, integrative practices High-end gyms and programs charging tens of thousands per year for bundled health, testing, training, and recovery When he first looked for a functional medicine provider in Atlanta, there was one very expensive option. Today there are multiple. Even family members of his who were deeply rooted in traditional medical systems have shifted into functional and lifestyle medicine because they want to help people earlier, not just when they show up critically ill. The PT's Role in the Longevity Ecosystem Danny is clear: he is not saying physical therapists should try to become functional medicine doctors. Instead, he sees a natural lane where PTs can win: Movement and musculoskeletal health experts Accountability partners who help people actually implement changes Educators who can translate research and trends into safe, practical steps He has already tested this in small ways at Athlete's Potential — reviewing blood panels, talking through sleep data, adjusting training, and updating exercise programs over months and years as patients move from "out of pain" to "performing and staying healthy." For some people, that relationship has lasted for years, shifting from acute rehab to long-term physical and lifestyle coaching. Blue Ocean: Ongoing Longevity Coaching for the Right People Danny describes this longevity space as a "blue ocean" for the right clinics: There are more and more people who want proactive help with their health. There are relatively few trustworthy, movement-focused providers offering it in a structured way. He draws a line between evidence-based functional and lifestyle medicine providers and more fringe offerings that are heavy on hype and light on science. A clinical background, understanding of research, and experience with musculoskeletal care give PTs a strong foundation to cut through the noise for their patients. And you do not have to do it alone. You can: Build your own longevity-style continuity offer inside your clinic, or Partner with functional medicine or lifestyle medicine providers and stay focused on movement, strength, and physical capacity. Generational Health Change One of the most powerful parts of Danny's story is the ripple effect he has seen in his training partner's life. By changing his own habits — training, sleep, stress management, nutrition — that friend has also influenced his entire family and friend group. Kids see what their parents do and assume it is normal. Friends see what someone has done for their health and start asking questions. Danny calls this "generational health change." You are not just helping one person feel better. You are changing what feels normal for the people around them, including their kids. From "Your Knee Feels Better" to "What Do You Want Life to Look Like at 80?" So what does this look like in a practical way inside your clinic? Danny suggests starting with a simple shift in conversation once an injury is under control: Talk about how long they want to be functional and independent. Ask what they want life to look like in their 70s and 80s. Use the older adults you have seen on both ends of the spectrum as examples. From there, you can start to build ongoing support — programming, check-ins, movement testing, and education — that helps them move toward that long-term vision instead of just away from short-term pain. Is Longevity a Fit for Your Clinic? Danny is not saying every clinic has to add a longevity offer. If you like what you are doing now and your business is healthy, that is okay. But he does believe this is where a big part of the market is heading. People are more aware, more curious, and more willing to invest in staying capable longer. For clinics that want to play in that space, now is the time to start paying attention and experimenting.

What happens when the medical system tells you "there's nothing more we can do" - and you refuse to accept it? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman, family physician turned functional medicine specialist, whose entire medical philosophy changed after his adopted daughter Anna was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and given a hopeless prognosis. Despite being a doctor himself, Aaron watched specialist after specialist offer only medications, surgery, and limitations. But when he and his wife pursued a functional medicine approach - focusing on nutrition, nutrient deficiencies, fatty acids, hormones, and root-cause testing, Anna began to thrive against all odds. In this episode, we explore: The blind spots in the current medical model Why it takes 30 years for research to reach standard care How siloed, symptom-based medicine fails complex patients The power of never giving up, even after devastating diagnoses Why functional medicine focuses on connecting the dots, not chasing symptoms Testing that actually matters: nutrients, fatty acids, organic acids, hormones & more Overtraining, POTS, dysautonomia, hypermobility, and athlete burnout Why recovery, minerals, amino acids, and food-as-medicine are non-negotiable The role of omega-3 and omega-6 balance in inflammation and resilience Dr. Hartman is now the go-to doctor for complex and "uncurable" cases in Central Virginia, helping patients who have fallen through the cracks of conventional care reclaim their health and vitality. We also discuss his new book  UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds A moving account of his daughter's story and the transformation of his medical practice. If you've ever been told "this is just how it is",  this conversation will change how you see your body, your health, and what's truly possible. Dr. Hartman's Bio: Dr. Aaron Hartman's functional medicine journey began when traditional healthcare failed Anna, his adopted daughter with cerebral palsy. Despite being a physician, he felt helpless as specialists offered no solutions, only surgery and medications.   Witnessing his daughter's impossible transformation shattered everything Dr. Hartman believed about medicine. This transformed his entire practice of medicine and now he's become the doctor to turn to when all others have given up. He now helps patients reclaim their lives when conventional medicine says "there's nothing more we can do." His new book, "UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds," chronicles this transformation. A clinical researcher involved in 70+ studies and VCU Assistant Clinical Professor, he founded Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine in 2016.

Hey friend, As part of our January 2026 Reset, I'm revisiting some of the most foundational and impactful episodes from Functional Medicine for Christian Women. This episode is one I still come back to often—because it speaks directly to the women who feel like they've tried everything and are still stuck. If you're dealing with ongoing fatigue, hormone symptoms, anxiety, inflammation, or unexplained health issues—and you keep hearing that your labs look “normal”—this conversation is for you. In this episode, I walk you through why so many women stay caught in cycles of exhaustion and imbalance, even when they're doing all the “right” things. We talk about the hidden disruptors that are often overlooked, including: Chronic inflammation Stress and nervous system overload Environmental and internal toxin load Blood sugar and metabolic imbalance More importantly, I explain how a functional health approach helps us step back, look at patterns, and start addressing root causes instead of chasing symptoms. This episode also introduces the framework I've used for years to help women move from survival mode into steadier energy, clearer thinking, and long-term health. While the structure of my work has evolved, the foundation remains the same: your body is not broken—it's responding. As you listen, I encourage you to do this one thing: Don't rush to fix. Listen for what resonates. Notice what brings relief or clarity. That awareness is often the first step toward real change. What's Next

In this kickoff episode of Creating an Ageless Future, host Regan Archibald opens the new year by reflecting on recent personal highlights, upcoming program updates (including a new weekly Wednesday time), and a simple theme for 2026: get clearer results by removing what no longer serves you. He explores how “over-optimization” can create decision fatigue, why the easiest habits are the ones that stick, and how small environment tweaks can make good choices more automatic. Regan also walks through his three-part view of health—lifestyle, energy for enjoyable activities, and fun experiences—and introduces a practical self-audit framework (EPIC) to help listeners identify common obstacles and set a focused, doable next step for the year ahead.RESOURCES: AGELESS FUTURE:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprint Sign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registration *Books: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibald * Articles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.Future  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Believe it or not, but there is as much cardiovascular risk associated with smoking as there is with the drop in estrogen in perimenopause and menopause.  But don't worry–  I've brought the hilarious, talented, and brilliant Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj onto the podcast to dive into why midlife is a uniquely important—and often overlooked—window for cardiometabolic health, and what you can do about it.  In this entertaining episode, Dr. Bhojraj breaks down why the drop in estrogen matters just as much as traditional risk factors and why so many women's concerns are missed in conventional care.  We also reframe hormone therapy not as symptom management, but as a powerful tool for optimization, longevity, and long-term heart and metabolic health.  With humor and clarity, this conversation reminds you that you don't need to overhaul your entire life —small, strategic changes truly add up. Tune in here to learn how to simply and efficiently boost your health, starting with your heart!  Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj is an interventional cardiologist and Institute for Functional Medicine–certified physician who bridges conventional cardiology with functional and lifestyle medicine. He spent 20 years treating disease with procedures and medications, but then shifted his focus toward uncovering root causes to help patients reverse chronic cardiometabolic conditions through food, sleep, stress optimization, and lifestyle change. Dr. Sanjay is the founder of the Well12 program and host of The Curious Cardiologist podcast, where he explores the science of longevity, inflammation, and human performance. His passion is helping people reclaim their health through simple, lasting changes. IN THIS EPISODE How Dr. Bhojraj moved into functional cardiac medicine  What age to start paying closer attention to cardiovascular health Advocating for yourself and what labs you should be asking for  Why taking care of your cardiovascular health is crucial during midlife hormonal changes  Looking at your metabolic health before starting HRT  Metabolic markers to pay attention to in midlife  Non-negotiable small tweaks to improve your heart health  How bringing joy to your life can be the best tool for your health  QUOTES “We need to talk about sleep, we need to have an intelligent discussion about diet and what that means. And we need to think about hormones too, because hormonal health is so central to cardiovascular health, and that is just not something that we talk about in cardiovascular training.” “It's like contributing to your 401k in your twenties, right? Like $200 doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're 65, you're now retiring a millionaire– depending on how well you invest, because you made those small, little, little habits, those little changes.

When a reproductive endocrinologist shrugs and says "unexplained infertility," it doesn't mean there's no answer - they're just looking in the wrong places. In this episode I'm talking with Dr. Susan Fox, a Traditional Chinese Medicine expert with 23 years of fertility experience, about how ancient medicine patterns can solve fertility challenges that conventional medicine can't explain. Susan's own unexplained autoimmune condition led her to discover TCM, and now she's revolutionized fertility care with an integrated approach that combines the best of Eastern and Western medicine. Her results? A 42% increase in live birth rates with her online program. We dive into the real causes behind fertility struggles - from environmental toxins like microplastics showing up in places they shouldn't be, to autoimmune factors that conventional testing completely misses. Plus, Susan shares practical strategies you can start today to support your fertility naturally. This is essential listening whether you're trying to conceive, supporting someone who is, or want to understand how modern life is affecting our reproductive health.

Hot flashes, brain fog, anxious nights, and a doctor telling you it's “just stress” can make you feel powerless. We start the year by taking that power back. I sit down with Dr. Sarah Doyle—doctor of physical therapy and functional medicine practitioner—to map the real mechanics of midlife: how estrogen fuels brain energy and vessel health, why progesterone calms the nervous system, and how chronic stress diverts raw materials away from the hormones that stabilize mood, sleep, libido, and cognition.We dig into the surprising overlap between postpartum and perimenopause—both are hormone crashes that scramble serotonin, GABA, and dopamine. You'll hear why ignoring “small” clues like night sweats, frozen shoulder, recurrent UTIs, or new-onset anxiety can snowball into bigger issues if you don't address root causes. Dr. Doyle breaks down adrenals and cortisol in plain language, showing how fight-or-flight can stall sex hormone production, raise cardiovascular risk, and accelerate musculoskeletal pain. We also talk candidly about racial disparities in symptom duration, the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and the life-changing role of local estrogen for tissue health and comfort.BioDr. Sarah Doyle is a former ICU physical therapist turned Functional Medicine clinician and Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition who specializes in hormone optimization and disease prevention through evidence-based nutrition. After years of publishing research, writing bestselling books (The THIN Formula and 7X Method), co-founding HealWell Regenerative Institute at the prestigious Carillon Wellness Resort, and working as a performance physiotherapist for artists like Shakira and The Weeknd, Dr. Doyle identified a major gap in women's hormone care—especially during perimenopause and menopause. She created her new menopause supplement to be as strong as HRT under the Vita-Fem brand: a potent, all-natural, research-backed daily stick pack designed to reduce brain fog, balance hormones, and improve compliance by dissolving easily in water. Proven through before-and-after testing and published case studies, this innovative formula reflects Dr. Doyle's mission to help millions of women thrive through their “second puberty” and beyond—without reliance on pharmaceuticals. 15 min.

I am delighted to have Dr. Austin Lake with me for a two-part series. In Part 1, we discussed women's health, exploring the importance of informed consent around birth control and of finding the root cause of why it was prescribed for you. Today, in Part 2, we cover many topics, including microplastics, praying before meals, deep breathing, supplements, faith, and nicotine. If you have not done so already, please listen to Part 1 first. Ways to regulate your nervous system: Shift into slow, diaphragmatic breathing when your body feels tense or overstimulated Make mealtimes a seated, unhurried ritual instead of something done on the move Reinforce your nervous system balance with proper hydration, minerals, and sufficient magnesium Build small moments of gratitude and prayer into your daily routine Bio: Dr. Austin Lake Dr. Austin Lake is a functional medicine provider, health educator, and founder of Wholly Health, a transformative health program that helps individuals restore energy, balance hormones, and reclaim health using holistic, evidence-based strategies.  He holds a doctorate in physiotherapy, a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology, and board certification in functional medicine.  He has guided thousands of clients through challenges like chronic fatigue, weight struggles, autoimmune disorders, thyroid imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction—addressing the true root causes rather than masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals or medical procedures.  His passion for holistic health was born out of personal experience: watching his brother battle leukemia, his father suffer multiple heart attacks, and his mother live with autoimmune disease. These trials forged a mission to uncover why people get sick—and how to truly heal.  Grounded in biblical principles, Dr. Lake's approach integrates faith, science, and natural healing. He empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of prescription dependency and to steward their health with intention. With a following of about 1.5 million across social media platforms, his work reaches a global audience with practical insights, myth-busting education, and faith-driven encouragement.  When not working with clients or educating online, Dr. Lake enjoys time with his wife, Carlie, and their four children, where they live a simple, natural life centered around faith, family, and wellness. He is also a passionate advocate for homeschooling and equipping the next generation for healthy, purpose-filled lives. His mission is simple: to help people reclaim their health, their vitality, and their God-given potential—one life at a time.

What if the fatigue, stubborn weight changes, brain fog, inflammation, or burnout you're experiencing isn't a failure of willpower, but a signal that your metabolism is under strain? In this solo episode, Dr. Taz unpacks what metabolic health actually means in the age of GLP-1 medications. She explains why weight loss alone is not the same as healing, and how focusing only on the scale can quietly erode muscle, gut function, hormonal balance, cellular energy, and nervous system resilience.You'll learn why so many people lose weight but still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected from their bodies. Dr. Taz breaks down the six core metabolic engines that regulate energy, fat storage, blood sugar, hormones, stress response, and longevity, and why ignoring even one of them can stall long-term health.This episode reframes metabolism as a full body system. One that includes the gut microbiome, hormone signaling, mitochondrial function, liver detoxification, muscle health, and the nervous system. When these systems fall out of sync, weight becomes a symptom, not the root issue.Dr. Taz shares: • Why GLP-1 medications support weight loss but do not repair metabolic dysfunction • How up to 25% of weight lost on GLP-1s can come from muscle, impacting long-term health and longevity • Why the gut is the foundation of metabolic health and how digestion, bile flow, and microbiome balance shape hormones and inflammation • How hormone shifts, especially in midlife, can rapidly disrupt blood sugar, cholesterol, energy, and weight • The role of cellular and mitochondrial health in fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic slowdown • Why liver function is central to detoxification, fat metabolism, and insulin regulation • How stress and nervous system dysregulation can drive cravings, poor sleep, and metabolic instability • How to identify which metabolic engine needs attention first so your plan stays targeted and sustainableWhether you're currently on a GLP-1, considering one, struggling after coming off, or simply want to build metabolic health that lasts for decades, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap. You don't need to chase trends or stack solutions. You need to understand the system you're living in.You may not control every variable that shaped your metabolism, but you can change how it functions moving forward.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)
