Your liver and blood sugar are far more connected than most people realize. In this episode, Nurse Doza walks through five links between the two: how the liver stores and releases glucose, where insulin resistance actually begins, how stress and cortisol raise blood sugar without food, how all of it lands on your mitochondria, and what obesity has to do with the whole picture. Featured Product  The Metabolic Pack bundles the three formulas this episode keeps circling back to: Liver Boost to support phase I and phase II liver detoxification pathways, Mitochondriac for resveratrol, quercetin and pterostilbene to support cellular energy production, and Zen to support a healthy stress and cortisol response. Liver, cellular energy, and stress — supported together in one simple daily protocol. Suggested use: 2 Liver Boost, 1 Mitochondriac, and 1 Zen daily with food.

In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood drivers of cravings — insulin — and why what you've been told about sugar, discipline, and willpower is only part of the story.This is where science meets self-awareness.Because once you understand what's actually happening in your body…you stop blaming yourself.Insulin — The Hormone That Keeps You AliveBefore we talk about cravings, we need to understand insulin.Insulin is not the enemy.It's a survival hormone.It's released by the pancreas when your blood sugar rises, and its job is to:→ Store energy so your body can use it laterThat storage happens in two ways:First as glycogen (stored sugar)Then as fat if there's excessWithout insulin, I wouldn't survive.None of us would.What Actually Drives a CravingHere's the truth most people haven't been taught:Cravings are not caused by sugar aloneThey're driven by a rapid DROP in insulinWhen insulin spikes and then crashes, my body reads that as:“We need energy — now.”That's when cravings hit.Not because I lack discipline.But because my body is responding exactly how it's designed to.Why I Might Be Craving Without Eating SugarI could be:Avoiding sweetsChoosing sugar-free optionsDrinking diet sodasUsing stevia or monk fruit…and still experiencing cravings.Why?Because my body responds not just to sugar…but to the taste of sweetness itself.The Anticipation EffectWhen I taste something sweet, my brain signals:“Sugar is coming.”So my body prepares.→ Insulin is released in anticipationEven if there are:Zero caloriesNo actual sugarMy body still reacts.And when insulin drops…

Ken just returned from diabetes camp and Graham had questions. Lots of them.What started as a catch-up conversation turned into one of the most relatable episodes Ken and Graham have recorded — because at the heart of it is something every person with Type 1 diabetes knows intimately: the moment your normal routine disappears, diabetes gets unpredictable fast.Ken breaks down what it actually looked like to manage his blood sugar during camp — the increased physical activity, the completely different food environment, and why he went the first two days without taking any basal insulin at all. It's a real-world example of something Ken coaches his clients through constantly — that diabetes management isn't a fixed system. It's a living, breathing process that has to flex with your life.From there the conversation shifts into nutrition — and this is where Ken gets personal. He's currently trying to identify which foods are inflaming his digestive system, why bloating and inflammation are directly connected to insulin resistance, and why reading the ingredient list matters far more than reading the nutrition label. Graham shares his own grocery habits, the Fairlife protein shakes he swears by, and — in a moment of perfect irony — admits they might be the very thing making him feel bloated every night.This one is warm, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd have with two friends who happen to know more about diabetes than almost anyone else you'll ever meet.

Join us for a live Q&A with Dr. Ben Bikman here.For the 100th episode of The Metabolic Link, Ben Bikman, PhD, professor of cell biology and physiology at Brigham Young University and author of Why We Get Sick, returns for a milestone conversation with co-hosts Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, and Victoria Field. Together, they examine what clinicians are measuring, what conventional approaches may be missing, and how the science of metabolic health continues to evolve.Bikman argues that the clinical picture of metabolic health remains glucose-centric and lipid-heavy while the earliest signal, elevated insulin, goes unmeasured. He explains why women stay insulin sensitive at far higher body fat than men and what menopause takes away, why visceral fat is misunderstood, and how a fatty liver can be miscounted as lean mass on a DEXA scan. That last point is why he now says he was wrong about GLP-1 drugs, and why he thinks they should be prescribed as something other than weight loss medication.Questions Answered in This Episode:• Why does standard bloodwork detect metabolic dysfunction so late?• Why are women more insulin sensitive than men at the same or higher body fat?• What actually changes metabolically during menopause?• Is visceral fat inherently dangerous, or is something else going on?• Why did Dr. Bikman change his position on GLP-1 medications?• Should GLP-1 drugs be prescribed as weight loss drugs at all?This milestone episode offers a rigorous, physiology-first look at where metabolic science stands today, and what researchers and clinicians may need to examine next.Thank you for listening, watching, sharing these conversations, and helping us reach 100 episodes.

Your blood sugar can look completely normal on paper while your metabolism is quietly unraveling underneath. Insulin resistance often develops a decade or more before a diabetes diagnosis — and by the time it shows up on standard labs, the damage has already been building for years. In this episode, we break down what's actually happening inside the body as cells stop responding to insulin, why this single shift is linked to heart disease, fatty liver, PCOS, cognitive decline, and more, and the early warning signs most people miss — from afternoon energy crashes to stubborn belly fat to waking up hungry at night. We also cover the lab markers that catch insulin resistance years before a glucose test ever will, and a bioregulatory framework for addressing the inflammation, mitochondrial stress, and gut health issues driving it all. Plus, simple things you can start doing today to blunt a glucose spike before it happens. This one's for anyone who wants to get ahead of a diagnosis instead of reacting to one.

Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified heart surgeon on a mission to help people stay off his operating table. After overcoming his own struggles with obesity and poor metabolic health, he shifted his focus from treating advanced heart disease to preventing it by addressing its root causes.

In this final episode of my 'Know Your Numbers' series, I focus on body weight and why understanding this health metric is just as important as knowing your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. My goal isn't to promote fake beauty standards or shame anyone about their weight—it's to encourage all of us to pursue better health through informed choices.In This Episode, I Discuss:• Why body weight is an important health indicator.• How Body Mass Index (BMI) can be a useful screening tool, even though it isn't a perfect measure of health.• How carrying excess weight can contribute to: -High blood pressure -High cholesterol -Insulin resistance and diabetes -Joint pain and inflammation• How to achieve a healthier weight through simple lifestyle changes WITHOUT focusing on the scale.The overall message is simple. No matter where you're beginning, today is the right day to get started. And the BONUS is this: you don't have to change everything overnight. One healthy choice at a time will lead to meaningful change.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to Nurah Speaks on YouTube and follow the podcast on your favorite streaming platform.

PCOS has a new name—but does that change how it's diagnosed or treated?In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown is joined by board-certified urologist and nutrition expert Dr. Mark Ratner to unpack the transition from PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). They discuss why the name changed, what it means for patients, and why this condition is much more than an ovulation disorder.The conversation explores the connection between insulin resistance, hormones, fertility, metabolic health, and long-term wellness. Dr. Ratner and Dr. Brown also discuss evidence-based lifestyle strategies, supplements like myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, the importance of individualized care, and emerging research on the vaginal microbiome's role in fertility.Key Takeaways:PMOS better reflects the hormonal and metabolic nature of the condition previously known as PCOS.Insulin resistance plays a central role in hormone imbalance, ovulation, and fertility.Lifestyle changes, nutrition, exercise, and targeted supplements can improve metabolic health and reproductive outcomes.PMOS is a lifelong health condition—not just a fertility diagnosis—and requires a holistic approach.Emerging research suggests the vaginal microbiome may also influence fertility and reproductive health.Where to find Dr. Mark Ratner:Website: https://theralogix.com/Special Offer: https://theralogix.com/discount/LORNE?redirect=/products/ovanad Ian Kent - VP, Sales & Business Development

If I could wave a magic wand and help every listener understand one thing about their health, it might be this:Insulin resistance.It isn't glamorous. It doesn't get the attention that cholesterol, blood pressure, or even weight loss gets. But insulin resistance may be the hidden driver behind many of the health problems we see today. Weight gain. Fatigue. Prediabetes. Type 2 diabetes. Fatty liver disease. Heart disease. Brain fog. Acne. PCOS- yes it has finally been renamed PMOS-(m for metabolic) And even cognitive decline.The good news? Insulin resistance is reversible. And one of the most powerful tools we have to improve it may be something that's absolutely free. Fasting & Insulin Resistance

Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice. Talk to your own physician before making decisions about cancer screening, testing, or treatment.TL;DR* A healthy 58-year-old gets a routine full-body scan, finds a “cancer” that would never have hurt him, and ends up with permanent incontinence from unnecessary treatment. This is more common than most people realize.* Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, a Dartmouth-trained cancer epidemiologist, spent 30 years documenting overdiagnosis — the discovery of cancers that meet the technical definition but would never have caused harm. His estimate: roughly 60% of PSA-detected prostate cancers and 25% of mammography-detected breast cancers fall into this category.* The “5-year survival rate” you hear cited as proof screening saves lives is often distorted by lead-time bias — finding a cancer earlier can make survival numbers look better without adding a single day to anyone's life.* Not all screening is suspect. Colonoscopy, low-dose CT for high-risk smokers, and cervical cancer screening (Pap/HPV) have strong randomized-trial evidence behind them.* The piece conventional screening misses: metabolic health. A 2026 Nature Communications study using machine learning on UK biobank data linked insulin resistance to increased risk across at least 12 cancer types — independent of body weight — and standard checkups rarely test for it.* Want a personalized look at your own metabolic terrain? Book a Metabolic Audit Call — link in show notes, spots limited weekly.The Test That Didn't Save His LifePicture a 58-year-old man. Healthy weight, active, doesn't smoke, feels completely fine. He goes in for a routine total-body scan — the kind now available at imaging centers with no doctor's referral required. Two hours later, a radiologist flags a small spot on his prostate.Six months, two biopsies, and one surgery later, he has a diagnosis: permanent incontinence. And the cancer itself? “Clinically insignificant.” It almost certainly would never have caused him harm. He would have lived out a full life and died of something else entirely, never knowing it was there.The test didn't save his life. It changed it — for the worse.This scenario happens thousands of times a year, and it's exactly what Dr. H. Gilbert Welch — a general internist, cancer epidemiologist, and senior researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital — spent his career warning about. His book, Should I Be Tested for Cancer?, makes a case that runs against decades of public health messaging: more testing is not automatically better testing, and early detection does not automatically mean lives saved.This article unpacks what Welch got right, where his argument leaves a gap, and what a more complete, proactive approach to cancer risk actually looks like.The Cancer Reservoir: Why Finding More Doesn't Mean Saving MoreFor decades, the operating assumption in medicine has been simple: catch cancer early, save the life. No asterisk, no nuance.Welch's research complicates that. His central idea is the cancer reservoir — the observation that most people carry small clusters of abnormal cells somewhere in their bodies right now. In the prostate, thyroid, breast, or lung. Under a microscope, these cells look like cancer. But many of them will never grow, never spread, and never threaten a life. A person could carry one for thirty years and die at 87 of heart disease, never knowing it existed.The problem is that increasingly sensitive tools — full-body scans, PSA tests, low-dose CT — are very good at finding these dormant clusters. And once something is found and labeled “cancer,” the medical system is built to treat it.Welch's numbers, drawn from randomized trial data, are striking: approximately 60% of PSA-detected prostate cancers are overdiagnosed, meaning they meet the technical definition of cancer but would never have caused symptoms or death. For mammography-detected breast cancers, the estimate is around 25% — meaning roughly one in four women treated for a screen-detected breast cancer may never have needed that treatment: the chemotherapy, the radiation, the surgery, the fear, the financial cost.This isn't an anti-medicine argument. It's a call for a conversation that rarely happens: here's the case for this test, and here's the case against it — here's what we might find that helps you, and here's what we might find that sets off a chain reaction you'll spend years managing. For most patients, that conversation never occurs.The 5-Year Survival Stat Is Misleading YouFive-year survival rates for cancer are often cited as evidence that screening works — and they sound like exactly that. But Welch shows why the number can be deceptive, and it comes down to lead-time bias.Here's the mechanism. Imagine a woman whose cancer will kill her at 65, regardless of when it's found. If screening catches it at 62, she lives three years with the diagnosis before dying at 65 — a five-year survival rate under five years. But if that same cancer isn't found until symptoms appear at 64, she lives one year with the diagnosis and dies at 65 — a five-year survival rate of zero.Same woman. Same cancer. Same date of death. But the version of her found earlier through screening appears, statistically, to have “survived longer.” Screening didn't add a single day to her life — it just moved up the start date of her diagnosis. It's the equivalent of claiming a win in a race because someone moved your starting line 200 meters ahead of everyone else's: you didn't run faster, you just started earlier. The finish line never moved.Now layer in overdiagnosis. If 1,000 people are diagnosed with cancers that would never have hurt them, and all 1,000 are alive five years later — which they would have been regardless — the survival statistics look dramatically better without a single life actually being saved. Welch's research shows that 5-year survival rates can climb while actual cancer death rates stay flat. More survivors on paper. Same number of people dying.None of this means medicine isn't making genuine progress in some cancers — colon cancer being a clear example, discussed below. It does mean that 5-year survival statistics, on their own, are not proof that a screening program is saving lives.Where the Evidence for Screening Is Actually StrongIt would be a mistake to leave this discussion thinking all screening is suspect. Welch himself is careful to draw a distinction, and there are tests with solid, randomized-trial evidence behind them.Colonoscopy for colorectal cancer is arguably the strongest case for screening that exists. It's unique because it doesn't just detect cancer — it can prevent it, by removing precancerous polyps before they ever become malignant. Colon cancer incidence and mortality have both dropped measurably in populations with high screening rates. If you're 45 or older, or have a family history, this is worth a serious conversation with your doctor.Low-dose CT for lung cancer, in high-risk individuals specifically, showed a 15–20% reduction in lung cancer deaths in the National Lung Screening Trial — but only among heavy smokers (roughly a pack a day for 20+ years). The risk-benefit math works because the baseline risk in that population is high.Cervical cancer screening — Pap smears and HPV testing — is a genuine public health success story. Rates have dropped dramatically since routine screening began, because cervical cancer has a long, slow, detectable precancerous stage that can be caught before it turns invasive.The common thread: these screenings either catch a long, slow precancerous process, or they target a population where the risk is already high enough that the math clearly favors testing. That's the question worth bringing to your doctor: given my specific risk factors, does the math on this test work in my favor?By contrast, the evidence is much weaker for consumer-marketed total-body scans, full-body MRI as a general “optimization” tool, universal PSA screening in all men over 50, and mammography in average-risk women in their 40s. These aren't mandates — they're conversations, and informed consent means understanding both sides before deciding.The Harms Nobody Talks AboutHealthcare marketing tends to present testing as one-sided: test early, catch it early, save your life. Welch's research catalogs the costs that rarely make it into that pitch.False positives. A mammogram flags a shadow. It isn't cancer — but you don't know that yet. Six weeks of follow-up imaging, maybe a biopsy, and the stress hormones flooding your body during that stretch are a real physiological cost, even when the final answer is “you're fine.”Unnecessary treatment. When a cancer that would never have caused harm is treated anyway — with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy — the harm is real and the benefit is zero.The cancer label itself. Research shows that being labeled a cancer patient, even for a cancer that's never actively treated, changes a person's psychology, relationships, insurability, and life trajectory. Welch identifies this as a form of harm medicine rarely accounts for.Radiation exposure. Repeated CT scans carry cumulative radiation risk. A full-body scan can expose a person to the radiation equivalent of hundreds of chest X-rays — a real risk added to the body in pursuit of a cancer that may never develop.Welch's central reframe: the question isn't “should I get tested,” it's “given my risk factors, my age, my family history, and my values, does the math on this specific test work in my favor?” That's informed consent — and most people never get that conversation.The Missing Piece: Your Metabolism Is an Early Warning SystemWelch's work is thorough on what not to do. Where it leaves a gap is the proactive question: if blanket screening of healthy people isn't the answer, what is?The answer lies in the years — sometimes decades — before a tumor ever forms. Cancer doesn't appear overnight. The cellular environment that allows it to take root and grow develops gradually, and it leaves metabolic fingerprints long before any scan could detect a tumor.The clearest evidence for this comes from a 2026 study published in Nature Communications, which used machine learning on a massive UK database and linked insulin resistance to a significantly increased risk of at least 12 types of cancer. Pancreatic cancer risk was elevated by roughly 29%, colon cancer by 18%, and breast cancer by 13% — and critically, this risk showed up independent of body weight. A person at a healthy weight can still be carrying the metabolic dysfunction that drives cancer risk, and a standard annual physical would miss it entirely, because most doctors check fasting glucose, not fasting insulin. By the time glucose is elevated, insulin regulation has often been off for years.Layer in chronic inflammation (measured by hs-CRP), elevated ferritin, low vitamin D, rising homocysteine, and a poor triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, and what emerges is a picture of a metabolic environment that is increasingly hospitable to cancer. Think of it as soil: a healthy garden doesn't grow weeds easily, but depleted, imbalanced soil invites them. Cancer is the weed. Metabolic dysfunction is the depleted soil. The strategy, then, is to work on the soil rather than wait to spot the weed.What to Actually Do About ItPath A: Testing to ask your provider forThese tests build a real metabolic picture — the kind that shows soil quality before any weed appears.* Fasting insulin + HOMA-IR — not just fasting glucose. This is likely the single most important test most doctors aren't ordering.* Hemoglobin A1c — your 3-month blood sugar average.* hs-CRP — a high-sensitivity marker of systemic inflammation.* Full lipid panel, including TG/HDL ratio — a ratio above 3 is a strong metabolic red flag.* Ferritin — elevated levels are increasingly linked to inflammatory cancer environments.* Vitamin D (25-OH) — low levels are associated with higher cancer risk across multiple types; optimal is 60–80 ng/mL, not just “in range.”* Homocysteine — a methylation marker that, when elevated, signals oxidative stress.* LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) — rises when cells are under metabolic stress.For a deeper look, consider a comprehensive nutrient and organic acids panel (NutrEval), a gut microbiome panel (GI-MAP) — the gut-cancer connection is real — and a full hormone panel including cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and SHBG.Path B: Lifestyle changes to start today* Eat in this order: protein and fat first, vegetables second, starches last. This alone can meaningfully blunt post-meal blood sugar spikes.* Cut refined sugars and seed oils — the two most direct dietary drivers of insulin resistance and inflammation.* Move daily. At minimum, 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, resistance training twice a week, and even a 10-minute walk after meals to improve glucose metabolism.* Prioritize sleep. Poor sleep disrupts glucose metabolism after a single bad night. Seven to nine hours is non-negotiable for metabolic health.* Manage stress. Chronic cortisol elevation drives insulin resistance — this is biochemistry, not soft advice.You don't need to do all of this at once. Pick one test to ask for at your next appointment, and one lifestyle change to start this week.Summary & Next StepDr. Welch's research makes an uncomfortable but important case: early detection is not automatically synonymous with lives saved, the 5-year survival statistic can be misleading, and testing healthy people carries real costs — false positives, unnecessary treatment, radiation exposure, and the psychological weight of a cancer label. At the same time, some screenings — colonoscopy, cervical cancer screening, low-dose CT for high-risk smokers — have strong evidence behind them and are worth pursuing for the right person.What's missing from that picture is a proactive strategy, and that's where metabolic health comes in. Insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and blood sugar dysregulation show up years before cancer does, and unlike a full-body scan, they're both measurable and fixable.If you want a clear picture of where your own metabolic terrain stands — and what your highest-leverage next steps are — book a Metabolic Audit Call.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Let's dive in.

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.

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.
