What if the reason fat loss feels impossible is not willpower, not discipline, and not “eat less, move more” but your hormones, your hunger, and your body's fat thermostat? In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben welcomes back Dr. Jason Fung to break down why most weight loss advice fails long term and why obesity and type 2 diabetes are not calorie problems, they are hormonal problems. Dr. Fung explains how insulin acts as a fat storage signal, why fasting insulin and C-peptide can reveal metabolic dysfunction years before A1c rises, and how hunger is the real problem behind overeating. He also introduces key ideas from his new book, The Hunger Code, including the fat thermostat, the “three whys,” and the three types of hunger: physical, emotional, and conditioned. You will walk away with a clearer framework for sustainable fat loss that works with human physiology instead of fighting it. Key Topics Covered Why “eat less, move more” has an extremely high long-term failure rate Calories vs hormones: why the body can store or burn the same calories differently Insulin's role in fat storage and fat burning shutdown Insulin resistance as “overflow,” not “under-fuel” Why fasting insulin and C-peptide matter earlier than A1c The fat thermostat concept and why metabolism adapts fast Hunger hormones and satiety signals (including GLP-1 related discussion) The “three whys” framework for getting to the root cause of weight gain The 3 types of hunger: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned hunger Why ultra-processed foods reshape hunger and behavior Why low insulin matters more than “low carb” for many people How environment and community influence obesity risk and habits Resources & Special Offer Dr. Jason FungWebsite: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/ Book: The Hunger Code (Release Date: March 3) Pre-order the book through Dr. Jason Fung's website to receive exclusive bonuses, including a free masterclass and additional resources.

With dangerous medical advice taking over social media, peptides are bleeding from niche biohacking and "gym bro" communities into the mainstream. This week, Chloe breaks down the science, the risks, and why the "magic medicine" mindset around unauthorised injectables is dangerous. In this episode Chloe covers: What Peptides Actually Are: Short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules (like insulin and GLP-1) to tell your cells what to do. Approved Peptides: A look at legal, heavily tested peptides (like GLP-1s and Insulin) and why their knock-on metabolic effects require strict medical supervision. Unapproved & Unproven Peptides: The massive risks behind unauthorized, internet-bought compounds like BPC-157 and TB-500, including a harrowing case study. Inherently Risky Peptides: Debunking the muscle-growth myths around IGF-1 and Growth Hormone Secretagogues, and exposing their severe cardiovascular and insulin resistance risks. The Bottom Line: Why you should always steer clear of unauthorized injectables, plus a recommendation to check out the Barbell Medicine podcast for a deeper dive into the clinical science.

Ein knuspriges Brötchen am Morgen. Pasta mit Olivenöl am Abend. Und dazwischen die immer gleiche Warnung: Kohlenhydrate machen dick. Low Carb gilt als Lösung, High Protein als neuer Goldstandard. Kaum ein Nährstoff wird so leidenschaftlich diskutiert wie die Carbs. In dieser Folge meines Podcasts DA GEHT NOCH WAS geht es um genau diesen Mythos. Was sind Kohlenhydrate eigentlich? Warum ist Zucker chemisch gesehen ebenfalls ein Kohlenhydrat? Und weshalb macht es einen gewaltigen Unterschied, ob Weißbrot und Limonade auf dem Tisch stehen - oder Gemüse, Hülsenfrüchte und Vollkornprodukte? Kohlenhydrat ist nicht gleich Kohlenhydrat. Einfache, stark verarbeitete Varianten lassen den Blutzucker rasant ansteigen, fördern Heißhunger und bringen das Hormonsystem unter Druck. Komplexe, ballaststoffreiche Quellen wirken völlig anders: Sie stabilisieren den Blutzucker, nähren den Darm und versorgen den Körper gleichmäßig mit Energie. Low Carb entstand als Reaktion auf zu viel Zucker, zu viel Weißmehl, zu viele Fertigprodukte. Doch aus einer sinnvollen Kritik wurde oft ein radikales Konzept. Dabei zeigen Studien: Extreme sind selten die beste Lösung. Sowohl sehr hohe als auch sehr niedrige Kohlenhydratmengen können langfristig problematisch sein. Balance schlägt Dogma. Gerade für Frauen ab 40 bekommt das Thema eine neue Dimension. Sinkt der Östrogenspiegel, reagiert der Körper empfindlicher auf Blutzuckerschwankungen. Zu wenig Kohlenhydrate können zusätzlichen Stress erzeugen, die Darmvielfalt beeinträchtigen und das hormonelle Gleichgewicht stören. Gleichzeitig beeinflussen Carbs nicht nur Insulin, sondern auch Serotonin, Schilddrüsenhormone und sogar den Schlaf. Ballaststoffe sind dabei echte Gamechanger. Sie puffern Glukose, unterstützen die Darmflora und helfen beim Umgang mit überschüssigen Hormonen. Auch die Reihenfolge auf dem Teller kann sinnvoll sein: erst Gemüse, dann Protein und Fett, zum Schluss die Kohlenhydrate. Und in Kombination mit Bewegung werden sie von den Muskeln besonders gut aufgenommen. Welche Kohlenhydrate sind wirklich das Problem? Was sollten wir Frauen beachten? Und: Wie funktioniert eine gute Ernährung mit Kohlenhydraten? Ich verrate es Euch. Eure Anastasia

Most people think skin tags are just a harmless cosmetic issue — something you remove and forget about.The truth is, these small changes on your skin can sometimes be early clues that something deeper is going on.In this episode, I'm diving into the real story behind skin tags and what they may be telling you about the way your body is processing food, managing hormones, and handling inflammation. We'll look at the dietary patterns and everyday choices that can influence skin health from the inside out, and why what you eat plays a much bigger role than most people realize.On this episode, you'll learn: Why small skin tags are more than a cosmetic nuisance — and what they could be signaling about your health (1:40)The surprising pattern I've seen in virtually every patient with skin tags (4:40)How a specific style of eating can help lower insulin-like growth factors and support healthier aging from the inside out (8:45)The reason you should think twice before trying to burn off a skin tag (12:00)Whether grass-fed ghee actually contains NEU5GC (12:32)Thank you to our sponsors!

Is everything we've been told about fat… wrong?In this episode, I sit down with Reproductive Endocrinologist & Fertility Specialist, Dr. Robert Kiltz, founder of CNY Fertility, to talk about infertility, gestational diabetes, insulin resistance, and the controversial idea that eating more fat — not less — may be the key to healing.Dr. Kiltz shares his personal health journey, how he began questioning conventional nutrition advice, and what he started noticing in his fertility practice when patients shifted toward paleo, keto, and even carnivore-style eating. We discuss rising infertility rates, pregnancy nutrition myths, blood sugar balance, liver health, inflammation, and why so many women today are being diagnosed with gestational diabetes.This episode will absolutely challenge the standard pregnancy nutrition narrative you've been receiving — and invite you to think more critically about what truly supports fertility and metabolic health.Here are some highlights from the episode: • Dr. Kiltz's unexpected journey from troubled teen to fertility specialist • Why infertility rates continue to rise — and what might actually be driving it • The connection between insulin, liver health, and gestational diabetes • How quickly hormones and blood sugar can begin to shift with dietary changes • Protein vs. fat — are we emphasizing the wrong one? • Whether you can really “eat too much” fat • The role inflammation may play in reproductive struggles • Why reproductive health reflects overall metabolic health • How mindset, faith, and stress impact healing and fertilityWhether you agree with everything shared or not, this conversation will help you ask better questions about what you're eating before and during pregnancy — and what truly nourishes your body while growing a baby.If you're trying to conceive, navigating gestational diabetes, or simply wanting to optimize your health for pregnancy, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.   Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.   Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.   The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!   Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.   Resources From The Show: Jay's Website - https://jaycampbell.com/ Jay's Peptide Company - https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Jay's New Book - Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides Dr. J's March 18th, 2026 Workshop: 5:30p PST/7:30p CST (register to get the replay if you can't make it live) - The Art of Staying Your Sport or Hobby and Being Adventure Ready at Any Age    

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In Episode 333, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a wide-ranging, honest conversation sparked by a viral question: Should Type 1 diabetes even be called diabetes?What started as a short social media clip turned into thousands of views, healthy debates, and emotional responses—highlighting the confusion, stigma, and misunderstanding that still surrounds diabetes today. Ken and Graham unpack why this topic struck such a nerve, how language shapes perception, and why clarity matters—not division.From there, the conversation expands into real-world diabetes challenges: insulin access and affordability, rationing fears, stress-driven insulin resistance, CGM infections, reusing supplies, and how everyday decisions—exercise, food quality, sleep, and stress—can dramatically change insulin needs.The episode closes with a thoughtful discussion on Dexcom's new 15-day CGM, environmental impact, patient assistance programs, and what progress actually looks like for people living with diabetes.This is raw, unscripted diabetes conversation—exactly what the live show is designed to be.

For most of the past century, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease. Yet, heart disease is still widely perceived as a male problem.  That's why in this episode, we dive into why cardiovascular and metabolic health are essential for women, especially in midlife, and why education is your greatest tool.  You'll gain the confidence to advocate for yourself and make informed decisions about your long-term health. I'll also be sharing my favorite simple habits to kickstart your metabolism, protect your heart, and boost your everyday energy.  Remember, it never has to be perfect—consistency builds momentum, and that's where real change begins.  Tune in here to gain key insight and prioritize yourself and your longevity! IN THIS EPISODE Recognizing the warning signs of cardiovascular disease  Labs and markers you should be asking your physician for  Why lifestyle medicine matters SO much in midlife  How to build metabolically healthy plates for each meal Setting simple movement goals for optimal heart health The massive benefits of sleep, mindfulness, and breath work Supplements to support your cardiovascular and metabolic health The pros of appropriately timed hormone replacement therapy  QUOTES “Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. Not breast cancer, not ovarian cancer. All cancers combined. And what's even more alarming for most women, the warning signs begin years- sometimes decades- before a heart attack or stroke ever happens.”  “Research shows that insulin resistance is a primary driver of cardio metabolic disease in women, especially after menopause.” “You do not need perfection. You need 7,000 steps per day, walking after meals, fewer long sitting stretches. Get up and move your butt, even if it means walking around your house or going around the block. Start building your life around movement. This is one of the most powerful yet underestimated tools for heart health and for your resilience.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Order your Berkeley Life Nitric Oxide Support Supplement https://berkeleylife.pxf.io/Vxvdja RELATED EPISODES  716: Midlife, Hormones & Heart Health: The Critical Connection You're Not Hearing About with Cathy Eason 711: Estrogen, Inflammation, and Your Heart Health: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause

Today's episode is a metabolic reality episode because insulin resistance isn't rare and it's not something that suddenly appears out of nowhere. If we zoom out and we look at the landscape of metabolic disease, type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non- alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance sits at the center of all of it. And when we look at the data, close to ninety percent of metabolic disease is driven by lifestyle factors. This means it's how we eat, how we sleep, how we move, how we manage stress, and how sedentary or active we are over time. That makes this an everyday conversation. Insulin resistance shows up in women long before anyone ever uses that language. And most women, they can feel it before they can name it. We'll unpack insulin resistance, how this affects women different than men, insulin signaling, and what we need to do as women to stave off this complex issue.   Time Stamps:   (0:48) Insulin Resistance (4:15) Gender Differences with Insulin Resistance (8:30) Insulin and Insulin Signaling (13:50) What We Need As Women ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

Warum greifst du abends zur Schokolade, obwohl du satt bist? Die Antwort hat nichts mit Disziplin zu tun – sondern mit deinen Hormonen, deinem Darm und deinem Nervensystem.   In dieser Folge erklärt Dr. Marc Reinbach (Arzt & Gründer von intumind):  

You're taking 600 IU of vitamin D.Your labs say “normal.”But you could still be deficient. In this episode, Ben reveals why the official vitamin D recommendations were based on preventing rickets, not optimizing immunity, metabolism, muscle, or brain health. Independent researchers reanalyzed the original RDA data and found the required intake for adequacy was dramatically higher — yet the guidelines barely changed. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin. It functions like a steroid hormone and impacts: Immune regulation Inflammation control Insulin sensitivity Muscle protein synthesis Brain function Low vitamin D is strongly associated with insulin resistance, and since 93% of Americans are insulin resistant, this could be a massive blind spot. Ben also explains: Why “normal” lab ranges may still mean deficiency Why optimal levels should be above 60 ng/mL How obesity lowers circulating vitamin D Why magnesium and vitamin K2 are required for proper activation Why toxicity fears are overblown compared to widespread insufficiency You'll also learn the simple 3-step plan to optimize vitamin D safely: Smart midday sun exposure Intelligent supplementation with D3 + K2 + magnesium Regular testing and cofactor support If you're over 45, insulin resistant, or struggling with stubborn inflammation, this episode could be a game changer. You don't have a weak immune system.You may just have an under-supported one.

Does aspartame spike insulin? Trigger hunger? Disrupt metabolism? Increase diabetes risk?In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down a comprehensive meta-analysis published in Advances in Nutrition reviewing over 100 human randomized controlled trials on aspartame. The findings challenge many of the common narratives circulating online.You'll learn what actually happens to blood glucose, insulin, appetite hormones, and calorie intake when people consume aspartame—and why the feared “insulin spike without glucose” mechanism doesn't hold up physiologically. Mikki also unpacks concerns around methanol and amino acid breakdown products, and explains why observational studies often drive misleading headlines.If you enjoy a diet drink and worry it's sabotaging your fat loss or metabolic health, this episode offers clarity grounded in human clinical data—not fear-based speculation.HighlightsWhy aspartame does not trigger insulin spikes in human trialsWhat the research shows about hunger, appetite hormones, and calorie intakeThe difference between observational studies and randomized controlled trialsMethanol, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid: dose, context, and perspectiveWhether diet drinks interfere with weight loss or metabolic flexibility Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Dr. Jason Fung joins Jorge Cruise to break down why midlife belly fat isn't a “calories problem.” It's a hunger + hormones problem. You'll learn how insulin drives weight gain, how time-restricted eating can work (especially for midlife women), the biggest fasting mistakes, and how to think about GLP-1 meds as a tool (with pros/cons). We also dig into conditioned hunger, social eating, thyroid concerns, and why protein + healthy fats matter when you're trying to control hunger for the long term.Chapters 00:00 Welcome Back and New Beginnings04:42 Understanding Midlife Changes10:14 The Journey to Time-Restricted Eating24:44 Hormones and Weight Management38:32 Navigating Midlife for Women49:01 Understanding Diet: The Role of Protein and Healthy Fats52:15 The Impact of Processed Foods and Insulin on Weight Gain55:36 Midlife Women and Intermittent Fasting: Common Mistakes01:00:58 The Psychology of Eating: Conditioned Hunger and Social Influences01:03:23 Addressing Thyroid Issues and Pre-Diabetes in Weight Management01:06:24 Navigating GLP-1 Injections: A Tool for Weight Loss01:20:45 The Importance of Managing Hunger Over Calories01:29:03 The Hunger Code: Insights from the New BookLinks + ResourcesJorge Cruisehttps://www.jorgecruise.com/https://www.youtube.com/@jorgecruiseDr. Jason Funghttps://www.thefastingmethod.com/https://www.youtube.com/@DrJasonFungFREE Primal Kitchen Mayo ($12 value) with $30+ purchasehttps://www.PrimalKitchen.com/jorgecruise80% off – Jorge Cruise Coaching Club (First 100 Founders)Mondays 5PM PT on Google Meet + Early Copy of "Zero Hunger Plan"https://www.JorgeCruise.com10% off – Aeira Chicken Bone Broth Powder12g Protein.

Kennst du das: Du achtest auf deine Ernährung, bewegst dich regelmäßig und trotzdem fühlt sich dein Körper plötzlich festgefahren an? Viele Frauen erleben, dass sich der Körper ab 40 anfühlt, als wäre er nicht mehr im „Verbrennungsmodus“. Viele gehen dann schnell davon aus, dass der Stoffwechsel langsamer geworden ist oder gar „kaputt“ ist. Doch was, wenn dein Stoffwechsel nicht defekt ist, sondern schlicht überlastet? Wenn dein Körper nein sagt, obwohl du alles richtig machst, fehlt es dir nicht an Disziplin. Dein System ist überfordert. Gerade im Frühjahr wollen viele ihren Stoffwechsel wieder in Schwung bringen. Doch wenn er blockiert wirkt, lohnt sich ein neuer Blickwinkel. Ich erkläre dir in der heutigen Podcastfolge, worauf du jetzt besonders achten kannst, um deinen Stoffwechsel wieder anzukurbeln. Du erfährst: ✨ warum dein Stoffwechsel ab 40 blockiert wirken kann ✨ wie du deinen Stoffwechsel wieder in Schwung bringen kannst ✨ welche Rolle deine Leber als Stoffwechselzentrale wirklich spielt ✨ wie Blutzucker, Insulin und Stress zusammenhängen ✨ warum klassische Diätstrategien die Blockade oft verschärfen ✨ Denn oft liegt das Problem nicht in der Disziplin, sondern in einem System, das entlastet werden möchte.

This episode explores tadalafil (Cialis) as a potential longevity drug, though no randomized human trials prove it extends lifespan. Cialis works by blocking PDE5, enhancing nitric oxide signaling, and improving blood flow through vasodilation. Originally approved for pulmonary hypertension, it's also used for erectile dysfunction and BPH. Its 36-hour half-life makes it superior to Viagra for continuous longevity effects.   The host frames vascular aging and endothelial dysfunction as key drivers of age-related diseases (heart disease, stroke, dementia, kidney disease). Observational data shows Cialis users have 44% lower mortality, fewer cardiovascular events, reduced dementia risk, and lower mortality in diabetics. Additional benefits include improved cardiac function, reduced infarct size, arrhythmia suppression, and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. A 2024 meta-analysis found it lowers hemoglobin A1C, possibly via improved microvascular perfusion, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial function.   Cialis crosses the blood-brain barrier and may improve neurovascular coupling and hippocampal plasticity, potentially benefiting those with or at risk of dementia. Safety is generally good with long-term daily use (2.5–5 mg), though cautions include avoiding use with nitrates, low blood pressure, or certain retinal disorders. Common side effects are headache, nasal congestion, and acid reflux. The host recommends consulting a doctor and references potential synergy with telmisartan.   Tadalafil (Cialis) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a604008.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a604008.html) Sildenafil (Viagra) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a699015.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a699015.html)   Key mechanisms mentioned Nitric Oxide (NO) — NCBI Bookshelf: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554485/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554485/) Cyclic GMP (cGMP) — NCBI Bookshelf: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK542234/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK542234/)   Conditions mentioned in the episode Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — MedlinePlus: [https://medlineplus.gov/benignprostatichyperplasia.html](https://medlineplus.gov/benignprostatichyperplasia.html) Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) — MedlinePlus: [https://medlineplus.gov/pulmonaryhypertension.html](https://medlineplus.gov/pulmonaryhypertension.html)   Blood pressure drug mentioned Telmisartan — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601249.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601249.html)   Other longevity / comparison drugs mentioned Metformin — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a696005.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a696005.html) Sirolimus (Rapamycin) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a602026.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a602026.html)   Side-effect helper mentioned Ibuprofen (Advil) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682159.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682159.html)   Dementia meds mentioned Donepezil (Aricept) — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a697032.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a697032.html) Amantadine — MedlinePlus drug info: [https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682064.html](https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682064.html)   Lab markers mentioned Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test — MedlinePlus lab test: [https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hemoglobin-a1c-hba1c-test/](https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hemoglobin-a1c-hba1c-test/) Insulin in blood test — MedlinePlus lab test: [https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/insulin-in-blood/](https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/insulin-in-blood/)   People referenced (where the claims were mentioned) Huberman Lab (Dr. Andrew Huberman) — site: [https://www.hubermanlab.com/](https://www.hubermanlab.com/) Clip about low-dose tadalafil (2.5–5mg) — X post: [https://x.com/tbpn/status/2022350426394534334](https://x.com/tbpn/status/2022350426394534334) Bryan Johnson (Blueprint) — site: [https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/](https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/) Dr. David Sinclair (Harvard profile) — site: [https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair](https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/people/david-sinclair)   Show Notes   00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast. 01:56 What Cialis Is: PDE5 Inhibition, cGMP & Nitric Oxide Explained 03:43 Approved Uses & Origin Story: Pulmonary Hypertension, ED, and BPH 05:33 Why Cialis Over Viagra: 36-Hour Half-Life & 24/7 Vascular Benefits 06:52 Vascular Aging 101: Endothelium, Perfusion, and Why It Drives Disease 11:14 What the Human Data Shows: Observational Evidence for Mortality, CVD & Dementia 13:04 Mechanisms Deep Dive: Heart Protection, Heart Failure, and Anti-Atherosclerosis 15:02 Cialis for Diabetics: Lowering A1C and Improving Insulin Sensitivity 16:21 Brain Effects: Blood–Brain Barrier, Neurovascular Coupling & Dementia Potential 18:21 Safety, Who Should Avoid It, and Daily Longevity Dosing (2.5–5 mg) + Wrap-Up   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Being told your labs are “normal” and your cycle is still regular does not mean your metabolism and hormones are stable. Early insulin resistance can quietly increase inflammation, drive midsection fat gain, and accelerate skin aging years before menopause is officially diagnosed.In this Biohacking Beauty episode with Dr. Jila Senemar, we break down why regular periods do not rule out perimenopause, why building muscle is one of the most powerful metabolic tools in midlife, and how early testing like DEXA scans can reveal hidden bone loss long before standard guidelines would ever check.Dr. Jila Senemar is a board-certified OB/GYN with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She is a menopause specialist certified by The Menopause Society and a longevity physician.

In this illuminating episode we're back with Elisha Edwards to shine more light on the often confusing topic of metabolic disorder, laminitis and hyperinsulinemia. As I share, I'm usually a pretty quick study but this stuff gets my brain all twisted in knots - and am I ever grateful to have someone like Elisha to break it down for me. As many of you know, the topic of insulin as it relates to disease has been top of mind for me since my gelding Reykur's recent laminitic episode where his levels of insulin were off the charts despite trying to do all the right things. I've been doing my best to sift through all the information out there and it felt like the perfect time to have a deep dive conversation about this with someone who really gets it and is looking at this topic from many angles.  In this chat we discuss why insulin goes up, why it stays up, and how we can help it to come down and stay down, the very real impact of hormones, stress and cortisol, the pros and cons of medicating, the real struggles of watching our horses deal with pain and how the emotional states of our horses can influence this disease. I know this conversation helped me greatly on my horse-keeping journey, and I hope it helps you too!  Elisha Edwards is a long-time horse lover who holds both a Bachelor of Science in organic chemistry and an MBA from the University of Alberta. Elisha is the Director of Education at Riva's Remedies and she is also the developer and instructor of the online course Healing Horses Their Way. She teaches horse owners all over the world how to use holistic health care to promote good health for their horses and how to restore good health in unwell horses. She believes that through education and awareness of natural horse health we can drastically improve their quality of life and longevity. Elisha also regularly facilitates workshops and seminars on natural horse health care across the country.

Your body doesn't treat breakfast and dinner the same way, and once you understand why, meal timing becomes a powerful lever for better health. We dig into chrononutrition, the science of how circadian rhythms shape appetite, insulin sensitivity, and energy metabolism, and we translate it into simple steps that fit real life.We start by mapping the daily hormone dance: morning light sparks a cortisol rise that mobilizes energy, adenosine builds sleep pressure through the day, and melatonin ushers in nighttime repair. Those rhythms change how your body handles the same plate of food across the clock. Insulin sensitivity is highest earlier, glucose tolerance declines later, and fat oxidation slows in the evening. That shift helps explain why late-night eating links to insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular risk, even when total calories don't change.From there, we reframe fasting. Skipping breakfast often reduces calories but can backfire metabolically, with worse insulin sensitivity and blood pressure. Early time-restricted eating tells a different story: front-load calories, move dinner earlier, and minimize late-night intake. Studies show improved insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and cardiometabolic markers when the eating window aligns with the body clock. A calorie at 8 a.m. meets a system primed to use energy; the same calorie at 10 p.m. meets a system preparing for sleep.You'll leave with clear, practical tools: anchor breakfast and lunch, keep dinner earlier and lighter, aim for consistent meal timing, get bright light soon after waking, dim light at night, and treat late snacking as a stressor. Whether your goal is better glucose control, sustainable weight management, or heart health, aligning meals with your circadian rhythm can amplify results without adding restriction.If this helped reframe how you think about food timing, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves nutrition science, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

Send a textThe biology of fat tissue, estrogen's role in metabolism and health, and how exercise interacts with these processes, especially during menopause.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Adipose tissue basics: White fat primarily stores energy in large lipid droplets, while brown fat burns fatty acids for heat via high mitochondrial density; white fat can “brown” with exercise or certain foods like capsaicin.Fat distribution & health: Subcutaneous fat (under skin) is more insulin-sensitive and less problematic than visceral fat (around organs), which links to metabolic issues; females store more subcutaneously pre-menopause, shifting to visceral post-menopause.Estrogen signaling: Estradiol binds nuclear and membrane receptors to regulate gene expression and mitochondrial function; it enhances insulin sensitivity and browning in fat cells, with receptors like ER-alpha feminizing fat distribution.Fat storage: Fat cells enlarge (hypertrophy) more than multiply in obesity, leading to hypoxia, inflammation, and insulin resistance; excess fatty acids spill to liver and muscle, worsening metabolic dysfunction.Menopause effects: Estrogen drop causes visceral fat gain, reduced energy expenditure, insulin resistance, and higher metabolic disease risk; symptoms include hot flashes and reduced exercise motivation, modeled in rodents via ovary removal.Exercise & estrogen links: Exercise boosts estrogen receptor expression and mitochondrial density in fat, mimicking estrogen's browning effects; synergism may explain reduced exercise responsiveness post-menopause.Brain-fat connections: Estrogen in the nucleus accumbens influences exercise motivation and fat browning; manipulations there alter running behavior and adipose metabolism in rodents.ABOUT THE GUEST: Victoria Vieira-Potter, PhD leads a lab at the University of Missouri, studying how estrogen and exercise influence adipose cells.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 174 | Adipose Tissue & Body Fat: Obesity, Insulin, Leptin, Fertility, Weight Loss & GLP-1 Drugs | Sean HartigSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

In this podcast episode, an in-depth discussion is provided on the drug Telmisartan, commonly used for lowering blood pressure. The host elaborates on how it belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and stands out due to its 24-hour half-life and partial PPAR-gamma agonist activity.  The episode explores Telmisartan's potential benefits for longevity, including its properties that reduce cardiovascular mortality, renal decline, and metabolic issues. It also compares Telmisartan with other ARBs and addresses its unique ability to improve myocardial efficiency, reduce arterial stiffness, and support neuroprotection. Detailed explanations are given on technical concepts such as pulse pressure and its relevance to arterial compliance, and the necessity to consult a doctor before taking the medication is emphasized.   Telmisartan / ARBs (main topic) Telmisartan — MedlinePlus drug info: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601249.html Blood pressure meds overview (includes ARBs): https://medlineplus.gov/bloodpressuremedicines.html Key mechanisms mentioned PPARγ (PPARG) — NCBI Gene: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/5468 Endothelium + nitric oxide (NO) — NCBI Bookshelf: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK534266/ Angiotensin / aldosterone / "fight-or-flight" Aldosterone test — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/aldosterone-test/ Sympathetic nervous system ("fight-or-flight") — Cleveland Clinic explainer: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23262-sympathetic-nervous-system-sns-fight-or-flight Lab tests mentioned in the episode Fasting insulin ("Insulin in Blood") — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/insulin-in-blood/ Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hemoglobin-a1c-hba1c-test/ C-reactive protein (CRP) — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/c-reactive-protein-crp-test/ Arterial stiffness / pulse pressure (longevity framing) Pulse pressure & arterial stiffness as risk predictors — PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11224702/ Visceral fat resource mentioned Dr. Sean O'Mara website: https://drseanomara.com/   Show Notes   00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast. 01:22 Understanding Angiotensin and Its Effects 02:14 How ARBs Work and Their Benefits 03:00 Unique Properties of Telmisartan 03:36 Comparing Telmisartan with Other ARBs 04:44 Telmisartan's Impact on Endurance and Fat Loss 05:59 Telmisartan and Cardiovascular Health 09:57 Blood Pressure Basics and Pulse Pressure 18:54 Telmisartan's Role in Longevity and Dosing 27:28 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Most people unknowingly sabotage their metabolism and liver health first thing in the morning. In this episode, Ben explains why common “healthy” breakfasts spike insulin, shut down fat burning, and block liver repair before the day even begins. You'll learn what actually happens in your body overnight, why morning insulin sensitivity is so fragile, and how sugary or carb-heavy breakfasts lock you into fat storage mode all day long. Ben breaks down the hidden sugar content in foods like smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and juice, and explains why this is a timing issue, not a willpower issue. Ben also shares a simple liver-reset morning protocol, including when to delay breakfast, when to eat, and what to eat to support fat burning, stable energy, and better labs. He answers common questions about fasting, muscle loss, women's hormones, smoothies, and why traditional breakfast advice is outdated. If you struggle with stubborn belly fat, morning brain fog, energy crashes, or worsening labs despite “doing everything right,” this episode will change how you think about breakfast forever.

Download my FREE macros guide: Nutrition 101 for Body Composition. Learn exactly how to set your protein, carbs, and fats for muscle building and fat loss using a flexible approach that works long-term: witsandweights.com/macros--Do carbs make you fat?Are spikes in blood sugar and insulin a problem for health or weight loss?Maybe you've been cutting carbs or tried keto or carnivore, yet your strength training progress has stalled, your recovery feels sluggish, and you're still not seeing the body composition results you want. The problem isn't your discipline. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of what insulin actually does (especially if you lift weights).Insulin is not a "fat-storage hormone" but a nutrient-partitioning hormone whose effects depend entirely on context: your training status, muscle mass, and energy balance. Learn how resistance training changes the way your body handles carbs, why lifters over 40 actually benefit from strategic insulin spikes, and how muscle tissue acts as a "sink" for glucose that determines where your nutrients go. It's not about eating unlimited carbs but understanding why carb tolerance is built through strength training and how to use that to your advantage, and to stop fearing spikes in blood sugar.Whether you want body recomp, trying to build muscle while losing fat, or wondering why your low-carb diet isn't working despite consistent strength training, this episode gives you an evidence-based framework to rethink your nutrition strategy. Plus, get a simple post-workout protocol that can improve your next-day training performance.Timestamps0:00 - Why carbs and insulin don't automatically cause fat gain3:20 - How training context changes what insulin does with your food7:25 - The real reason lifters fear carbs (and why it's misguided)11:55 - What insulin actually does (nutrient partitioning explained)18:40 - How carbs support muscle building, recovery, and strength training performance24:20 - Fat loss and insulin (why energy balance matters more than spikes)29:20 - Acute insulin spikes vs. chronic dysfunction (the critical difference for body recomp)

Is your magnesium not working, even though you're taking it daily? Discover why magnesium is not working, how to choose the best type of magnesium, improve magnesium absorption, and avoid common magnesium supplement mistakes in this video. If you're taking magnesium for sleep and other benefits, yet you're still dealing with insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, leg cramps, anxiety, and more, this is for you. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body. It's involved in over 300 biochemical reactions and is vital for the following: • Heart rhythm• Healthy blood pressure levels• Sleep • Energy• Insulin • Nerve function • Mitochondrial functionHere are 8 common mistakes people make with magnesium, which could be the reason why your magnesium supplements are not working! 1. Thinking magnesium works by itself Magnesium and vitamin D are codependent. You need 4,000 to 10,000 IUs of vitamin D for magnesium to work properly in the body. If you don't have enough vitamin B6, potassium, or sodium, it may seem that your magnesium is not working. 2. Ignoring cell membrane damageMany people have damaged cell membranes due to the consumption of seed oils. You need healthy cell membranes for magnesium absorption. 3. Stress Stress shuts down digestion, lowers immunity, decreases blood flow to certain organs, and increases the demand for magnesium. Caffeine can also deplete magnesium.4. Taking the wrong type of magnesium Magnesium oxide is the most common form of magnesium in supplements, but it's the worst! Magnesium glycinate is a much better option and is the most absorbable. 5. Blocking magnesium absorption without knowingToo much calcium can block the absorption of magnesium. Zinc, fluoride, and aluminum can inhibit its function. Low stomach acid, antacids, and acid blockers can also interfere with magnesium absorption. 6. Misunderstanding RDAsRDAs do not represent a therapeutic dose. If you're trying to correct a magnesium deficiency, you need significantly more magnesium than the RDA. If you want to increase your magnesium intake, spread your doses throughout the day, as you can only absorb around 300 to 400 mg at once.7. Unrealistic expectations Vitamins and minerals do not work like drugs. It can sometimes take a while to restore healthy biochemistry in the body. 8. Missing the insulin connection Insulin resistance can block magnesium absorption, and consequently, a magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of insulin resistance.

STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

You don't have a willpower problem. You have an insulin problem. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down nine foods commonly marketed as “healthy” that are secretly spiking insulin, blocking fat burning, and keeping belly fat stuck, even if you're eating clean or cutting calories. You'll learn why fat loss is driven by hormones, not calories, and how insulin shuts down your body's ability to burn stored fat. Ben explains how foods like whole wheat bread, fruit juice, instant oatmeal, protein bars, low-fat yogurt, almond milk, agave, granola, and whole grain cereal can all create metabolic gridlock. More importantly, he shares simple food swaps that lower insulin faster than fasting, reduce cravings, stabilize energy, and restore metabolic flexibility. This episode also challenges the calories-in vs calories-out myth, explains why food quality matters more than calorie counting, and reinforces a core truth of metabolic health: you don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. You'll also hear about: How insulin locks fat storage in place Why fructose targets the liver and increases visceral fat The role of inflammation in stubborn weight gain Why breakfast sets your fat-burning or fat-storing mode for the day Simple swaps that can flatten your belly within a week
