Episode Description: You have been cutting carbs to lose weight and your blood sugar still will not move. What if you have been avoiding the one carbohydrate that was actually working in your favor the whole time? Resistant starch is a carbohydrate your body cannot digest. Instead of spiking your blood sugar, it travels to your gut bacteria intact, feeds them, and triggers a chain reaction that improves insulin sensitivity, blunts post-meal glucose spikes, and in human controlled trials is linked to measurable reductions in visceral fat. And here is the part that might surprise you: the same food can have a completely different metabolic effect depending on how you prepare it. Cooking and then cooling a potato or a plate of rice meaningfully increases its resistant starch content. Same food. Different biology. In this episode, you will learn:  • How resistant starch feeds your gut bacteria to produce butyrate, one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds in the body, and how that chain reaction directly improves how your body handles blood sugar and insulin  • What the randomized controlled trial data actually shows for weight loss, visceral fat reduction, and insulin sensitivity, including the dose ranges used in the studies and how long it takes to see results  • The exact foods to start with, why you have to go slow, and what happens to your gut if you jump straight to 40 grams a day This is a free tool. No supplement required. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn't respond to our outreach, it doesn't automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they're failing their customers on transparency and communication.

The longevity world has convinced a generation of women that protein is shortening their lives. The science says they've got it backwards and the people hurt most are the ones who need protein most.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the protein-and-longevity fear, steelmans the strongest case against protein, then walks through what the evidence shows:The RDA (0.8 g/kg) is a deficiency floor, not a target, the intake one camp calls "dangerously high" is what federal guidelines and expert groups now recommend (1.2–1.6 g/kg)The IGF-1–cancer link is tiny (a 3–11% risk bump vs. smoking's 1,000–2,000%), and the IGF-1–mortality curve is U-shaped: the lowest levels carry ~40% higher death riskSarcopenia roughly doubles death risk (3.5× with frailty) and perimenopause stacks anabolic resistance on top, exactly when women are told to fear the foods that defend themBy the end, you'll understand the mTOR and IGF-1 science well enough that nobody online can scare you off your own dinner, plus a simple Monday-morning plan: adequate protein, front-loaded, built on minimally processed foods, with heavy lifting to match.Thank you to our sponsors:BodyHealth - Use the code LYON20 to get 20% off your first order https://bit.ly/4f7ZqM5 Our Place - Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

It's estimated that 1 in 8 women have PMOS. Most of them have never even heard of it.   You probably know it by its old name: PCOS.   In one of the biggest updates to women's health in years, experts officially changed the name from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) because the old name missed the bigger picture. This isn't just about ovaries. It's about your metabolism, your hormones, your blood sugar, your energy, and how your entire body functions.   If you've been battling stubborn weight, acne, irregular periods, facial hair, anxiety, food noise, infertility, fatigue, inflammation, or you constantly feel like your body isn't responding no matter how "healthy" you're trying to be, this episode is for you.   Joining Jamie once again is Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and "Your Blood Sugar Bestie" Ashley Lawrence, who was diagnosed with PMOS herself and has since reversed her symptoms and lost her diagnosis by getting to the root cause instead of chasing them one at a time.   Together, they break down what this name change actually means for you, why so many women have slipped through the cracks for years, and how all those random, frustrating symptoms you've been dealing with might actually be connected to the same root cause.   You'll learn: • PCOS → PMOS: why the name changed and what it really means • Insulin resistance in PMOS (even without weight gain) • Prevalence: 1 in 8 women, many undiagnosed • Blood sugar dysregulation and its impact on hormones, mood, digestion, inflammation, fertility, and energy • Why calorie restriction and high-intensity workouts can backfire • Ashley's simple blood sugar–balancing meal formula to reduce cravings and food noise • Key supports: therapeutic teas, minerals, movement, and lifestyle habits for hormone balance • How Ashley reversed her symptoms using Foundations of Health vs. heavy supplement protocols • Sustainable healing without extreme restriction     If you've ever wondered why your friend can skip meals, survive on iced coffee, work out six days a week, and lose weight while you feel exhausted doing everything "right," this conversation will help you understand why.   Your body isn't failing you. It's communicating with you. And when you learn its language and listen to its wisdom, everything changes. _______________________________________________________________________________ If this episode encouraged you, challenged your thinking, or gave you hope, please share it with someone you love.

„Man kann mit Schokoriegeln abnehmen. Die entscheidende Frage ist nur: Wird man dadurch auch gesünder?“ Genau diese Frage stellte sich der amerikanische Ernährungswissenschaftler Mark Haub und startete eines der bekanntesten Selbstexperimente der modernen Ernährungsforschung. Zehn Wochen lang deckte er den Großteil seines Kalorienbedarfs mit Schokoriegeln, Keksen und anderen stark verarbeiteten Snacks. Das verblüffende Ergebnis: Er verlor mehr als zwölf Kilogramm Körpergewicht. Gleichzeitig verbesserten sich sogar einige seiner Blutwerte. Ein Experiment, das bis heute kontrovers diskutiert wird. In dieser Folge der artgerecht HEALTH NERDS ordnen Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum das berühmte Twinkie-Experiment wissenschaftlich ein. Sie erklären, warum ein Kaloriendefizit tatsächlich der entscheidende Faktor für Gewichtsverlust ist, weshalb unser Stoffwechsel jedoch weit mehr bewertet als nur Kalorien und warum Körpergewicht und Gesundheit nicht automatisch dasselbe sind. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die biologischen Mechanismen hinter Energiebilanz, Fettstoffwechsel, Cholesterin, Insulin und Sättigung sowie die Frage, weshalb ultraverarbeitete Lebensmittel uns häufig dazu verleiten, mehr Energie aufzunehmen, als unser Körper eigentlich benötigt. Außerdem geht es um die Grenzen des Experiments: Warum verbesserten sich bestimmte Blutwerte trotz Junkfood? Welche Rolle spielen Protein, Ballaststoffe und Mikronährstoffe? Und weshalb zeigen große Beobachtungsstudien zwar Zusammenhänge zwischen ultraverarbeiteten Lebensmitteln und zahlreichen Erkrankungen, erlauben aber nicht automatisch Rückschlüsse auf Ursache und Wirkung? Denn gesundes Essen entscheidet sich nicht an einzelnen Lebensmitteln, sondern an der Qualität unserer Ernährung insgesamt. Wer versteht, wie Energiebilanz und Stoffwechsel zusammenarbeiten, trifft im Alltag oft die besseren Entscheidungen. HEALTH NERDS. Mensch, einfach erklärt.

If you've spent any time in a gym, you've heard it: you need carbs to build muscle. It's gospel. Every bro coach and most personal trainers will tell you the same thing. The problem is it's not actually true. And my guest this week is living proof. Robert Sikes is a pro natural bodybuilder who has been ketogenic for 11 years, eating fewer than 20 grams of carbs a day the entire time. No rice, no grains, no oatmeal, none of the stuff bodybuilders are supposed to live on. And he competes and wins on the world stage. In 2023 he got down to 3.9% body fat, making him the leanest man on earth at the time. He's also the founder of Keto Brick, a shelf-stable high-fat food he originally created for his own competition prep because nothing like it existed. In this episode, we get into the carb and muscle myth, what 11 years of keto has actually done to his blood work, and the tradeoffs nobody on social media wants to talk about. The argument for carbs usually comes down to insulin, which is a powerful anabolic agent. Everything grows in the presence of insulin, muscle included. But as Sikes lays out, you don't need excess insulin to build muscle. You need a caloric surplus, enough protein, enough training intensity, and enough recovery. The rest is just body fat you'll have to lose later, and the athletes chasing muscle through exogenous insulin often pay a steep price for it. The same myth applies to testosterone. People assume Sikes must be running sky-high levels to look the way he does, but he isn't. He competes in natural federations that don't allow TRT, and his testosterone typically sits between 400 and 600. When he was at 3.9% body fat, it dropped to 87. That's not a level anyone would call healthy, but it proves you don't need elevated testosterone to build and hold muscle. I've experimented with TRT myself and walked away from it, and we get into why the negative feedback loop made it not worth it for either of us. Where the conversation really opens up is the philosophical side. When do you intervene and when do you accept what nature gave you? We talk about genetics versus lifestyle, why he doesn't try to cheat death, and why an athlete's identity shouldn't be wrapped up in their physical abilities, because we're all biodegradable vessels of meat and bone that eventually deteriorate. His whole family eats this way too, including his kids, whose first real food was a beef knuckle bone rather than rice cereal. About Robert Sikes:  Robert Sikes is a lifetime natural competitive bodybuilder and CEO of Keto Brick, who traded traditional bro-dieting for a strict ketogenic approach back in 2014 after developing disordered eating on a high-carb protocol. Since making the switch, he earned his WNBF pro status and became the leanest man in the world in 2023. He now dedicates his work to coaching others through his Savage System program and fueling performance through his Keto Brick — a 1,000-calorie ketogenic meal he originally created for his own contest prep.

Your patient brushes well, avoids sweets — and still keeps getting decay. What if the answer isn't in their mouth at all? What if two inexpensive finger-prick tests told you more about a patient's gum disease and implant prognosis than anything on the radiograph? And here's the uncomfortable one: if the science is this clear, is not checking starting to look like a medico-legal risk? Especially for imlpant surgery! This is a conversation with Dr Tif Qureshi — the dentist who changed how the profession thinks about the lifelong patient, the envelope of function, and Align, Bleach, Bond. He's gone down a new rabbit hole: metabolic health. In general practice he's now doing blood tests — HbA1c and vitamin D — and making the case that the mouth isn't connected to the body, it is the body. This isn't about becoming a “biological dentist” (as you'll hear, Tif is refreshingly blunt about the wilder end of that world). It's about respecting the biology, screening sensibly, and helping patients where we're genuinely placed to help. https://youtu.be/mt1MXLFCTp0 Watch PDP275 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Test Yourself First Before you even think about introducing blood tests for your patients, ask whether you're checking your own biomarkers at a sensible interval. The deepest way to understand this topic is to learn it on yourself and your family first — run your own HbA1c, vitamin D, iron, and liver and kidney markers, and see what the data tells you. Start quarterly, like hygienist visits, then stretch to six-monthly or annual once things look good. Getting invested in your own numbers is what makes better food and lifestyle choices actually stick — and it's the honest starting point for ever offering this to a patient. What You'll Take From This Episode The metabolic lens — why one disordered glucose-and-insulin system sits under so much chronic and dental disease, and why dentistry is well placed to act on it. Sugar, redefined — why patients who avoid sweets still get decay, and how frequency of starchy carbs drives the problem. The two biomarkers that matter most — what HbA1c and vitamin D each tell you about caries, perio and healing. How to run it in practice — finger-prick logistics, what to test, and how to raise it on the medical history form. The medico-legal case — why documenting these markers can protect you before implant, graft and perio work.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling unpack the cortisol-dopamine-insulin loop — the hidden neurochemical cycle that drives cravings, emotional eating, and the "one bad decision snowball" that so many fasters experience. They explain why this isn't a willpower problem but a hormonal and behavioral feedback loop rooted in stress, sleep deprivation, and the brain's hardwired search for quick energy and dopamine reward. The hosts walk through each stage of the loop and share practical pattern interrupts — from breathwork and environment changes to proper mineral and electrolyte support — that can break the cycle before it restarts. A key insight from the episode is the cortisol-sodium connection, and how simply prioritizing proper hydration with unrefined salts first thing in the morning can calm the entire stress response system and make fasting feel dramatically easier throughout the day. The conversation wraps with a reminder that protecting sleep, eating earlier in the day, and building consistent fasting windows are the long-game levers that finally let your physiology work for you instead of against you — and this week's action step is to identify where you tend to enter the loop and apply just one targeted tool to interrupt it. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Is your brain starving for glucose?In this episode, Dr. Emily Cooper explores the critical role of the brain as a metabolic organ and its dependence on glucose and insulin. Listeners will learn why good sleep and a holistic lifestyle are vital for cognitive health.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe brain uses about 20% of your body's energy at rest.Insulin plays a non-fuel role in brain function, supporting neural connections and mood.Sleep is essential for the brain's waste clearance system, the glymphatic system.Insulin resistance in the brain is linked to cognitive decline and dementia.Exercise, a balanced diet, and social engagement are key to brain health.NOTABLE QUOTE"The brain is the most metabolically active organ in our body." — Dr. Emily CooperLINKS & RESOURCESJAMA: US POINTER Study on Cognitive DeclineNovo Nordisk: EVOKE & EVOKE Plus TrialsLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: fatsciencepodcast.comCooper Center for Metabolism: coopermetabolic.comResources from Dr. Cooper: coopermetabolic.com/resourcesJoin Our Community: patreon.com/cw/FatSciencePodcastSubmit Your Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comFat Science is supported by the Diabesity Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to effective, science-based metabolic care.This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Pre-bolusing is one of those things people learn years later than they should have. The whole idea fits in a word: timing. Give the insulin a head start on the food, and the two of them meet in the middle instead of fighting each other the whole way down. It costs nothing. Nobody's selling it. It's just a small change in when — not more insulin, not a new device — and for a lot of us it was the thing that flattened everything out. This song is that lesson set to a beat.

(6:30) Dr. Ovadia's first book is a best seller you can find in Vinnie's book club: Stay Off My Operating Tablehttps://amzn.to/3SelRrs Even athletes in what appears to be extraordinary good health can still suffer from heart disease and cardiac arrest. (14:00) Heavy carb cycling or loading could be contributing to it. (16:00) How important is monitoring LDL only? (25:00) Small, dense LDL particles are important to monitor. Statins lower the large-particle LDL, which is the healthy form, but not the small-particle LDL. Insulin resistance and chronic inflammation are drivers of "bad" LDL. Dr. Ovadia explains how Repatha works. (30:00) He also explains some complications during its trials. A challenge of the Western medical system is that specialties have become too compartmentalized. (35:30) Pre-Order Dr. Ovadia's second book. Pre-orders are important to the algorithm. (Stay Off My Kitchen Table) He shares a story about his friend and ghost writer, Joshua.

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of IVDrips and Hello Dose, for one of our most fascinating conversations yet. We dive into the science behind GLP-1 medications, why they're about so much more than weight loss, and how they're changing the conversation around longevity, metabolic health, and healthy aging.Bracha explains how GLP-1s work in the body, why weight gain is often rooted in biology rather than willpower, and how factors like glucose, insulin, inflammation, and hormones all play a role in long-term health. We also discuss who may benefit from GLP-1 medications, including women navigating perimenopause and menopause, adults focused on cardiovascular health, and those looking to improve metabolic wellness.We also get into fertility, blood sugar, continuous glucose monitors, and the surprising ways GLP-1s may help reduce cravings by working on the brain's reward system. Beyond medications, Bracha shares the foundational habits she believes everyone should prioritize first from walking after meals and getting morning sunlight to improving sleep and building sustainable wellness routines.Whether you're curious about GLP-1s, trying to better understand metabolic health, or looking for practical ways to optimize your health for the long run, this episode is packed with insights and actionable takeaways.xo, Tay⸻Follow Bracha Banayan!

Why does life-saving insulin cost hundreds of dollars a month for patients, when manufacturing costs are just a fraction of that price? What if the nonprofit model could change everything for affordable access?In the pharmaceutical industry, affordability and access remain two of the biggest hurdles for patients, especially when the economics of essential medicines seem stacked against them.Eric Moyal, founder of Project Insulin, is rewriting the rules of biosimilar development. Coming from a fundraising and nonprofit background rather than the pharma inside track, Eric built Project Insulin not to chase profits, but to deliver an essential therapy at a price real people can afford.Topics covered:Key differences between nonprofit and for-profit models in biotech, especially around fundraising, incentives, and revenue (00:02)The intricate balance between development costs, operating expenses, and setting an affordable price point (00:06)Innovative distribution models to eliminate price inflation by middlemen, including direct-to-patient and clinic partnerships (00:08)Major roadblocks in reinventing drug distribution and the importance of building the right partnerships early on (00:10)Advice for founders and scientists exploring solutions to drug affordability, including corporate structure, fundraising, and perseverance (00:12)Lessons learned after five years building Project Insulin, emphasizing the value of assembling the right team and listening to feedback (00:13)Realistic expectations for Project Insulin's next five years and the primary goals on the horizon (00:16)The broader need for affordable generic drugs and the broken promise of the current patent system (00:17)How to connect with Project Insulin and support its mission (00:18)Smart insight: Generic medicines should be affordable. Ensuring low-cost, accessible generics is essential to restoring the original balance between pharmaceutical innovation and public access, and it requires collective effort beyond any single player.If you enjoyed this episode, you might want to listen to these within a broader set of discussions on biologics affordability, CMC strategy, and bioprocessing realities — from the economic barriers blocking patient access and regulatory decision-making for biosimilars, to CDMO selection for resource-constrained teams:Episode 136: 5 Roadblocks to Affordable Biologics (And How to Overcome Them)Episodes 57 - 58: Crafting a Solid CMC Strategy: Key Factors and Common Pitfalls with Matthias MüllnerEpisodes 103 - 104: One-Stop Shop vs. Specialist CDMO: A Scientist's Guide to CDMO Selection with Sigma MostafaConnect with Eric Moyal:Email: emoyal@projectinsulin.orgWebsite: www.projectinsulin.orgInstagram: www.instagram.com/projectinsulinLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/82500193TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@project.insulinYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ProjectInsulinNext step: If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

In this power-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down the eight hormones that are either working for or against your fat loss goals, and explain exactly how a consistent fasting lifestyle shifts that balance in your favor. They walk through the metabolic gatekeepers — insulin and glucagon — explaining why lowering the total daily insulin load through structured fasting windows is the master lever that makes every other hormone work more efficiently. The conversation moves into the appetite and stress hormones, covering how cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin all respond to sleep quality, meal timing, and consistent fasting windows, and why protein-first nutrition opportunities are the single biggest tool for quieting hunger and resetting cravings. The hosts round out the episode with a look at testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone, sharing personal stories about how excess weight directly suppressed their own sex hormones and how fasting, sleep, and resistance training created a powerful upward spiral. This week's challenge is simple: pick one fasting habit, stack it with better sleep, and let time and consistency do the heavy lifting — because when the hormones are working for you, the results follow. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

In this episode with Dr. Jockers and guest Dr. Tony Jimenez, you will learn how cancer is understood as a complex process shaped by the body's internal terrain rather than a single isolated cause. You'll hear how inflammation, toxicity, and metabolic imbalance can influence disease development and progression in ways most people are never told. You will also discover how integrative oncology approaches can be used alongside conventional care to support the body's healing response.   You will gain a clearer understanding of why genetics account for only a small percentage of cancer cases, while epigenetic and lifestyle factors play a far greater role in how disease expresses itself. The discussion explores how chronic stress, poor sleep, environmental toxins, and unresolved emotional trauma can all impact cellular function over time. You'll also hear how addressing these root factors can help restore balance and support the body's natural defenses.   Explore the connection between nutrition, blood sugar regulation, and cancer biology, and why metabolic health is central to long-term outcomes. The episode breaks down how lifestyle habits such as movement, sleep quality, and nutrient-dense foods contribute to resilience. And you'll gain insight into how integrative tools like detoxification, immune support, and light-based therapies are being used in advanced care settings.   In This Episode:  00:00 Nutrition Isn't Optional 00:21 Meet Dr. Tony Jimenez 05:36 What Cancer Really Is 09:41 Smart vs Stupid Cancers 11:00 Cancer Is a Process 14:25 Genetics vs Epigenetics 17:36 Therapeutic Order Healing 23:53 Cell Danger Response 25:31 Hope4Cancer Assessments 31:03 Mindset Prayer and Healing 33:11 Emotional Trauma Breakthroughs 37:49 Nutrition and Cancer Growth 41:03 Personalized Nutrition Basics 42:42 Clean Foods Low Toxins 43:26 Sugar, Insulin, Inflammation 45:11 Cancer and Sugar Myths 46:44 Food First Supplements Second 48:13 Carbs, Fruit and Activity 51:25 Structured Water Hydration 52:52 Exercise for Longevity 53:42 Light Sleep Hormones 55:36 Sound Light Cancer Therapy 01:03:47 Detox and Modern Toxins 01:05:33 Clinical Trials Chemo Reality 01:08:22 Integrative Chemo IPT 01:09:48 Hope and Closing Message   Get the benefits of apple cider vinegar without the harsh taste in easy veggie capsules, supercharged with turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and lemon to support digestion, blood sugar, and metabolism.

Most adults dealing with acne have been handed the same three pieces of advice for the last 20 years. Wash your face more, cut out greasy food, try this cream, and if none of that works, get sent to a dermatologist for topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, or Accutane. None of that touches the actual drivers of adult acne. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research actually says about adult acne, the five physiological drivers that show up over and over in the literature, and the framework for working through cases methodically instead of guessing or putting every client on the same restrictive protocol.Topics discussed: - Adult Acne and Standard Advice- Acne as Biofeedback- Hyperinsulinemia as the Upstream Driver- Androgens, DHT, and SHBG- IGF-1 and the Dairy Connection- Gut Microbiome and Skin Inflammation- The Skin's Peripheral HPA Axis- Sleep, Stress, and the Intervention Hierarchy---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Insulin was first discovered over a century ago—yet in the United States, 1 in 5 insulin-dependent patients still ration their lifesaving supply. Why is a molecule so essential, and so well understood, still so out of reach for so many?Eric Moyal, founder of Project Insulin, decided to challenge not just the science, but the business model itself. With a background in nonprofit fundraising—not drug development—he's building a biosimilar insulin glargine and promising to sell it directly to patients at cost, insurance or not.Topics discussed include:The origins of the insulin affordability crisis and the impact of profit-driven healthcare systems (04:27)How over a million Americans are forced to ration their insulin every month, and the broader impact on patients' (lives 06:37)The advantages and challenges of approaching drug development with a background outside of biotech (08:37)The fundraising-focused strategy for overcoming scientific and technical hurdles in developing biosimilar insulin (09:17)Technical details on Project Insulin's development process, including selection of CDMOs, importance of analytical data, and process challenges like reverse-phase cleaving and crystallization (11:16)The impact of recent FDA regulatory changes on the development and approval pathway for biosimilars in the U.S. (15:45)Smart insight: A nonprofit approach to essential medicines could reshape the future for patients who depend on them. By removing shareholder expectations and focusing on affordability and access, leaders like Eric Moyal are proving new paths are possible—not through incremental science alone, but through bold re-imaginings of how science serves the public.If you enjoyed this episode, you might want to listen to these within a broader set of discussions on biologics affordability, CMC strategy, and bioprocessing realities — from the economic barriers blocking patient access and regulatory decision-making for biosimilars, to CDMO selection for resource-constrained teams:Episode 136: 5 Roadblocks to Affordable Biologics (And How to Overcome Them)Episodes 57 - 58: Crafting a Solid CMC Strategy: Key Factors and Common Pitfalls with Matthias MüllnerEpisodes 103 - 104: One-Stop Shop vs. Specialist CDMO: A Scientist's Guide to CDMO Selection with Sigma MostafaConnect with Eric Moyal:Email: emoyal@projectinsulin.orgWebsite: www.projectinsulin.orgInstagram: www.instagram.com/projectinsulinLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/82500193TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@project.insulinYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ProjectInsulinNext step: If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

The real driver of belly fat isn't calories, it's chronically high insulin, and a simple 10-minute walk taken right after a meal can shut down the blood sugar spike that feeds it. Two studies anchor this episode: one showing that three short 10-minute walks after meals beat one 30-minute walk for controlling blood sugar over 24 hours, and a 2025 study finding that a 10-minute walk right after eating significantly reduced the blood sugar spike, while a longer, later walk didn't. Ben also shares a surprising University of Houston finding on a tiny seated calf movement, the soleus push-up, that dramatically lowered blood sugar and insulin response in participants who couldn't get up and walk. Key takeaways: Timing beats volume. A 10-minute walk right after your biggest meal outperforms a longer walk taken later High insulin is the real driver of belly fat, not lack of movement or willpower Skeletal muscle handles roughly 80% of the glucose your body clears after a meal Muscle naturally declines starting in your 40s, which shrinks your blood sugar disposal capacity A seated calf-raise movement (the soleus push-up) meaningfully lowered blood sugar and insulin response in research participants Creatine supports muscle preservation and long-term metabolic health Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals

As part of our summer series, we're revisiting some of the most important conversations we've had on the topics that matter most to our health. And few are more important than heart disease. Heart disease remains the number one cause of death worldwide. Yet despite decades of research, millions of prescriptions, and billions of dollars spent on treatment, many people are still confused about what actually causes it—and what we can do to prevent it. For years, the conversation around heart disease has focused almost entirely on cholesterol. But what if that's only part of the story? In this special compilation episode, you'll hear from Dr. Cindy Geyer of The UltraWellness Center, Dr. Eric Topol, and Dr. Aseem Malhotra as they explore a different perspective on heart disease—one that goes beyond cholesterol and looks at the deeper drivers of cardiovascular risk, including inflammation, insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, lifestyle, and early detection. You'll hear why many experts now believe heart disease often begins decades before symptoms appear, why traditional testing can miss important warning signs, and how emerging science is giving us new tools to identify risk earlier than ever before. Most importantly, you'll hear a message that is both practical and hopeful: that many of the factors driving heart disease are within our control, and that prevention remains one of the most powerful tools we have.

What standard GP testing misses, and why it matters more for athletes. Several months ago I wrote a LinkedIn post about my own decision to start taking statins, after several years of resisting that path. Katherine Caris-Harris, a performance nutritionist and fellow triathlete, reached out afterwards. She felt there were gaps in the conversation, and she was right. Katherine is a degree-qualified nutritionist who works with what she calls corporate athletes, driven, high-performing people who often push themselves too hard across every area of life. In this episode we dig into the limitations of standard GP cholesterol testing, why LDL alone is a poor predictor of cardiovascular risk, the role of insulin resistance and thyroid function in driving cholesterol up, what the actual numbers needed to treat for statins really look like, and why cholesterol itself is essential, not the villain it's often made out to be. This isn't an anti-medication conversation. Katherine isn't here to tell you what to do. It's about giving you the fuller picture so you can make an informed decision for yourself, whatever that ends up being. 5 KEY POINTS LDL alone is a poor predictor of risk. Standard GP testing estimates LDL using a crude calculation, and doesn't account for particle size or how easily those particles are damaged by inflammation. Better markers exist, but aren't routinely offered. ApoB and Lipoprotein(a) give a far more accurate picture of cardiovascular risk than standard LDL testing, but most GPs don't test for them due to cost. The number needed to treat varies hugely. For primary prevention in a low risk group, you may need to treat 100 to 200 people with statins to prevent one cardiovascular event. That context rarely makes it into the conversation. Insulin resistance can quietly drive cholesterol up. Even lean, fit endurance athletes can develop elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance through excessive use of gels, energy drinks and fasted training. Cholesterol is essential, not the enemy. It's required for hormone production, cell repair, brain health and vitamin D synthesis. The real driver of arterial damage is oxidative stress and inflammation. 3 TAKEAWAYS Get tested properly before deciding. Standard GP panels are a useful starting point but rarely tell the full story, particularly for athletes. Context matters more than a single number. Genetics, insulin resistance, thyroid function and inflammation all contribute to your real cardiovascular risk. Make your decision from a position of knowledge, not fear. Whatever you choose to do, do it with the fuller picture in front of you.   KILLER QUOTE "You wouldn't ignore your FTP test results.

The reason is almost never your daytime effort. It is what happens after your head hits the pillow. Every night your body asks one question: is it safe to burn fat? About 70 percent of your fat burning growth hormone is released while you sleep, but only if insulin is low and your deep sleep is protected. In this lesson, Ben Azadi walks through the three bedtime habits, in the exact order your body wants them, to make the next 30 nights work for your fat loss instead of against it. Key takeaways: Insulin can stay elevated three to five hours after eating, blocking your overnight growth hormone pulse In a crossover trial, a 10 p.m. dinner reduced overnight fat burning and raised cortisol versus the identical 6 p.m. meal A Mayo Clinic trial showed four hours of sleep for two weeks added 11% more visceral fat, while the scale barely moved A cold (65 to 68°F), pitch dark room and a consistent sleep and wake schedule protect deep sleep Relaxation is chemistry: myo-inositol, magnesium glycinate, potassium glycinate, glycine, taurine, GABA, and L-theanine support it The three night challenge: no late snacks, a dark cool room, and track sleep, cravings, waist, and morning energy Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.

For decades, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome has been the name attached to one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women worldwide. But the name was always problematic. It pointed to the ovaries as the origin of the condition and created a widespread misunderstanding that led to missed diagnoses, fragmented treatment, and millions of women leaving their appointments with more confusion than clarity. In this episode we unpack exactly why the name failed women and what has finally changed.PCOS Is Now Officially Called PMOSThe American Society for Reproductive Medicine has endorsed a new name for the condition previously known as PCOS. It is now called PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The name was developed through a global engagement process involving 56 patient organisations, a survey with 22,000 responses, and workshops with healthcare professionals and women with lived experience. Women with the condition were the biggest drivers of the change. This episode breaks down what the new name means and why every word in it matters.Metabolism and Hormone Communication: The Real Story of PMOSPMOS is not an ovary condition. It is a whole-body metabolic and endocrine condition. That distinction is everything. In this episode we explore how metabolism, insulin physiology, stress response, and hormone communication across the entire body are the real drivers of PMOS symptoms and why understanding this changes the entire approach to healing.Insulin and Reproductive Hormones: The Connection Nobody Told You AboutOne of the most important and most overlooked pieces of the PMOS puzzle is the relationship between insulin and the ovaries. When insulin levels are chronically elevated, as happens with insulin resistance, it signals the ovaries to produce more androgens. Elevated androgens then drive a significant cluster of PMOS symptoms including acne, irregular cycles, hair changes, and weight regulation challenges. This episode explains that connection in clear, accessible language.Why Your Symptoms Overlap and What That Actually MeansAcne. Fatigue. Cravings. Irregular cycles. Mood changes. Weight shifts. For women with PMOS these symptoms can feel random and disconnected. They are not. In this episode we walk through how every major PMOS symptom connects back to the same underlying physiological drivers and why understanding that connection is one of the most empowering things a woman with this condition can do.Why Many Women Feel Confused After a PCOS DiagnosisBeing handed a diagnosis is not the same as being given an education. Most women with PCOS were told very little about what was actually happening in their bodies. Some were given the pill. Some were given a pamphlet. Many were referred to multiple specialists who each addressed one symptom without ever looking at the whole picture. This episode validates that experience and offers the explanation that should have come at diagnosis.Understanding PMOS Beyond Cysts: A Whole Body ApproachMany women diagnosed with PCOS never had ovarian cysts at all. The diagnostic criteria includes three markers and only two are needed for diagnosis. Cysts are just one of those markers. This episode reframes PMOS as what it actually is: a polyendocrine metabolic condition that requires a whole-body, root-cause approach to genuinely support healing.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereThe PCOS Supplement GuideLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at: https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-187

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Anna Cymbaluk, along with Philip and his father Jim, to discuss the recent FDA approval of Afrezza inhaled insulin for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Cymbaluk served as an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, while Philip participated in the study himself, providing a unique real-world perspective on what it is like to transition from injections to inhaled insulin, and Philip's dad, Jim provided the parent perspective as well as addressed parental concerns that might have arisen.The conversation focuses on the INHALE-1 study and the unmet challenges that continue to exist around mealtime insulin dosing in pediatric diabetes care. Dr. Cymbaluk reviews the trial design, glucose outcomes, safety data, patient satisfaction findings, and the practical realities of introducing inhaled insulin into everyday diabetes management. Philip and Jim share how Afrezza impacted school, sports, social situations, and the day-to-day burden of diabetes, particularly around pre-bolusing, corrections, and avoiding multiple injections throughout the day.Dr. Edelman and Dr. Cymbaluk also explore how Afrezza is dosed, how inhaled insulin differs from injected insulin, who may be a good candidate, and where it may fit alongside pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. For families looking for more flexibility, fewer mealtime barriers, and another option in the diabetes toolbox, this episode provides an honest look at the benefits, limitations, and real-world experience of inhaled insulin in children and teens.Key Topics• The FDA approval of Afrezza for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes• The design and results of the INHALE-1 pediatric clinical trial• Patient satisfaction and quality-of-life outcomes from the study• The challenges of pre-bolusing and mealtime insulin management in children and teens• How inhaled insulin compares to traditional mealtime injections• Dosing strategies, cartridge sizes, and insulin conversion considerations• Using Afrezza for corrections, meals, and post-meal dosing• The role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) when using inhaled insulin• Safety findings, lung-function monitoring, and cough management• Who may be a good candidate for Afrezza—and who may not be• Benefits for active children, athletes, and those participating in sports• Social situations, injection avoidance, and reducing the burden of diabetes management• Using Afrezza alongside insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems• The importance of having more treatment options to individualize diabetes careSupported by an unrestricted educational grant from MannKind CorporationSubscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

Hydrate. Manage your stress. Knowing what to do is not the problem.The problem is… you're not doing it.Even though you want to. And what I want to talk about in this episode is why.Because in my experience, it's actually very rare that I come across someone who truly doesn't know what to do. Most people know. They've heard it all before. And yet—they're still stuck in patterns of self-sabotage. So instead of asking, “What should I do?”I want to shift the question to: “Why am I not doing the things I already know?”Because that's where real change begins.In this week's episode, I decode the three different sources of cravings that are sitting in the driver's seat of your decision making around food. Biological: Your Body Is Driving More Than You ThinkYour hormones are constantly influencing your hunger, your energy, and your cravings.The main ones I focus on are:Cortisol (stress)Insulin (blood sugar)Ghrelin (hunger)Leptin (fullness)If these are off, your cravings will be off.And this is where I look at things like:Your circadian rhythm (your biological clock)Your sleep patternsYour energy throughout the dayI also use food journaling—but not for restriction or shame.I use it to find patterns.Because your unconscious mind runs on patterns.And one of the biggest things I look at is blood sugar regulation.If you're eating carbohydrates on their own, you're going to spike your blood sugar… and then crash.And every time you crash, you create another craving.That's why you can eat a huge meal—feel completely full—and then find yourself back in the kitchen not long after.So one simple shift: Stop eating carbs on their own. Pair them with protein and fiber.That's how you stabilize your system.Social: Your Environment Is Quietly Controlling YouYour environment matters more than you think.If certain foods are in your house, you will have to work harder not to eat them. That's not a willpower issue—that's human behavior.If your partner brings something home…If you're at your mom's house and she's cooking your favorite meal…That's going to trigger cravings.And it goes beyond food.You'll notice your behaviors shift depending on who you're around.Some people regulate you.Some people trigger you.And sometimes, that trigger leads to emotional eating or choices that don't actually serve you.Psychological: The Part No One Wants to Look AtThis is the deepest layer.This is where food becomes:A coping mechanismA way to numbA way to escapeA way to self-medicateBecause sometimes it's not about the food at all.It's about what you're trying not to feel.And this is where I use hypnotherapy—because we have to go beyond the conscious mind.We have to look at:Your belief systemsYour identityThe patterns stored in your unconsciousAnd often, those patterns started from a moment that was never fully processed.So the behavior continues… even when you logically know better.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many people realize. We discuss: Why the menstrual cycle may be one of the clearest indicators of overall health How sleep, stress, and insulin resistance may be affecting your hormones The overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper dysfunction What many women get wrong about PCOS and hormone health Practical strategies to support fertility, reduce inflammation, and improve long-term health Health challenges don't begin when symptoms become impossible to ignore. They often start years earlier. Being able to recognize those signals is one of the most effective ways to take a proactive approach to your health. Looking for a place to start? My 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation, reset your metabolism, and build a stronger foundation for long-term health.

Most women have been told their cycle is something to manage, track for fertility, or push through. What almost no one is saying is that your cycle is a second biological clock running inside your body at all times. The circadian rhythm is roughly 24 hours and is governed by light. The infradian rhythm is roughly 28 days and is governed by the menstrual cycle. Men have one main rhythm. Women have two. This is not a flaw in our design. It is added intelligence. In this solo episode, Michelle walks you through what is actually happening underneath the surface of each phase. Your brain structure shifts across the cycle. Your immune system, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, microbiome, and nervous system are all moving with you. You will learn why the same stressor can feel completely different from one week to the next, why luteal phase cravings are real signals and not willpower failures, and how to begin matching your work, food, and rest to the phase you are actually in. Whether you are trying to conceive or simply want to stop fighting your own body, this episode offers a more accurate map of how you are designed to function.   Key Takeaways: Women have two main biological rhythms. The circadian rhythm is roughly 24 hours. The infradian rhythm is roughly 28 days and is governed by the menstrual cycle. Most lifestyle and research advice is built around the male 24-hour clock, which is part of why so many women feel exhausted. Your brain structure literally changes across the cycle. The hippocampus shifts in volume, connectivity between regions changes, and verbal fluency, spatial reasoning, and pain perception all move with the phases. Feeling like a different person at different times of the month is neurobiology, not emotional volatility. Your immune system is rhythmic. It is more active in the first half of the cycle and shifts after ovulation, when progesterone becomes mildly immunosuppressive to prepare the uterus for a possible embryo. This is why colds, autoimmune flares, and allergies can shift across the month. Basal metabolic rate rises slightly in the luteal phase, and insulin sensitivity changes. The same meal can land differently depending on where you are in your cycle. Luteal phase cravings are often a real signal of higher energy needs. The gut and vaginal microbiomes also shift cyclically with hormones. You are not a static system. Everything inside your body moves with you. Heart rate variability tends to be higher in the follicular phase and lower in the luteal phase. The same stressor can land very differently depending on when in the month it arrives. Your nervous system is operating from a different baseline. From a TCM perspective, the liver works harder in the luteal phase to prepare for menstruation, which can show up as more irritability, less energy, and stagnation when qi is not flowing freely. Working with the cycle is not just a fertility tool. It is a way of living that supports energy, focus, mood, and recovery across the entire month. Practical starting points: track more than your period (energy, sleep, mood, focus, hunger, stress response), match the work to the phase when possible, and eat in a way that responds to what your body is actually doing in each phase.   Host Bio: Michelle Oravitz, L.Ac., FABORM, is a board-certified fertility acupuncturist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and author of The Way of Fertility.

What if you could naturally make your own version of Ozempic every time you eat the right meal? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the exact foods, supplements, probiotics, and meal timing strategies that help your gut activate GLP-1, the hormone that tells your brain you're full, steadies blood sugar, and shuts down cravings. Millions of people are spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month on GLP-1 drugs, but Dr. Axe says the real “Nature's Ozempic” starts in your grocery store — with protein, fiber, polyphenols, fermented foods, and berberine.  Uncover what's really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  http://mybloodwork.com Download the FREE Nature's Ozempic Guide: https://bit.ly/draxenaturesozempic Thank you to our sponsors!

Free metabolic capacity assessment: https://medgeeks.co/get-started/metabolic-health/ Waitlist to work with me: https://medgeeks.co/consult/work-with-me/ Why do we get tired? The afternoon crash usually isn't sleep, age, or laziness. It comes down to your metabolic capacity: your body's ability to produce energy, manage it, and recover from the demands placed on you. In this video, I break down the real biology of fatigue, from mitochondria and metabolic flexibility to insulin and why caffeine stops working, and how you can actually change it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN  Why your mitochondria set your energy ceiling, not your willpower How you can carry thousands of calories of fuel and still crash Insulin, Randle's glucose-fatty acid cycle, and afternoon brain fog The adenosine mechanism behind caffeine, and why the 3rd coffee fails How recovery, HRV, and mitochondrial biogenesis rebuild capacity My name is Andrew Reid, and I'm the founder of Medgeeks. For 15 years, I've worked on two sides of the same problem: caring for patients and clients directly, and teaching the science of metabolism to the clinicians who treat them. I've had 100,000+ patient/client encounters, and 50,000+ people read my emails daily to get a handle on their metabolic health. Welcome to the Medgeeks community!

Metabolic syndrome now affects about 1 in 4 adults worldwide, with cases rising rapidly across nearly every country and age group, which means your personal risk is higher than it was just a generation ago The condition develops silently through a combination of abdominal fat, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and abnormal cholesterol, often without clear symptoms until damage is already underway Your daily habits drive the condition, as processed foods, low movement, chronic stress, and poor sleep disrupt how your body produces and uses energy Insulin resistance sits at the center of the problem, creating a chain reaction that affects your metabolism, blood vessels, and hormone balance all at once You can reverse the trajectory by restoring cellular energy through better food choices, eliminating seed oils, increasing daily movement, getting regular sunlight, and improving sleep and stress control

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling challenge the idea that the number on the scale is the best measure of metabolic progress, revealing why fasting is less about making the scale move and more about why it's moving. They break down the critical difference between being metabolically healthy at a higher weight versus metabolically at-risk at a normal weight, and why BMI alone misses the full picture. The hosts walk through five key markers to track alongside fasting — waist circumference, fasting glucose and insulin, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, blood pressure, and visceral fat indicators — and explain how each one reflects real metabolic healing that the scale simply can't show. Listeners will come away understanding why consistency with fasting windows and simplified, protein-forward food choices accelerates cellular healing far more than chasing a daily weigh-in number. As a challenge this week, Dr. Scott and Tommy encourage listeners to measure their waist-to-height ratio, pull their most recent labs, and set one new scoreboard metric to track their true metabolic progress. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Andrew Paul Koutnik joins Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang to break down type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, glucose control, low-carb diets, GLP-1 drugs, obesity, and why the modern food environment is making metabolic health harder than ever.Andrew was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a teenager after a terrifying health scare that landed him in the ICU. Since then, he's spent his life studying metabolism, nutrition, insulin, and performance — not just in the lab, but through his own daily experience managing the disease.This episode covers the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, why glucose control matters so much, how carbs impact blood sugar, the role of insulin, why many people are metabolically unhealthy, and what people can do to better manage their health.Special perks for our listeners below!
