Podcasts about Insulin

This episode is for you if you've ever wondered why your body seems to hold onto fat, why cravings hit even when you just ate, or why dieting alone never seems to work.In this episode, I break down the storage hormone, insulin, and why understanding it is not just about biology—it's about how your mind, habits, and environment shape your hormonal responses. I share practical ways to reduce cravings, balance hormones, and eat in a way that actually supports your body.1. Insulin Isn't Just About FoodMost people think insulin is purely biological: “Eat sugar → insulin rises → fat storage happens.” But here's what I want you to know: your mind controls it too.Thoughts, anticipation, and habits can trigger insulin release.Insulin signals: “We have excess energy—store it, don't release it.”Paired with cortisol (the stress hormone), insulin drives cravings and fat storage more than you realize.Your biology is responding to your thoughts and environment as much as your plate.2. Everyone Responds DifferentlyI've seen it hundreds of times in the Make Peace With Food program: no two people respond the same way to food.Certain foods trigger more insulin in some people than others.Your sleep, stress, activity, and lean muscle mass all influence insulin's effect.That's why a personalized metabolic blueprint is so powerful—it shows you exactly which foods are truly nourishing for your body.Forget generic diets. Your hormones hold the real answers.3. Food Pairing & TimingIt's not just what you eat—it's how you pair it and when.Pairing carbs with protein, fat, or fiber reduces insulin spikes.Eating according to your circadian rhythm helps your body use energy efficiently.Anticipation of food triggers insulin before the first bite, creating cravings and prepping digestion.Understanding this alone can change how you respond to cravings.4. Cravings, Scarcity, and StressStress drives cravings at the hormone level:Cortisol increases blood sugar needs for immediate energy.Insulin follows, storing sugar and locking away energy.The drop in blood sugar afterward is what we feel as cravings.I share a personal story from hosting my retreat in Greece—stress and scarcity triggered intense cravings even though food was abundant. This shows how mindset directly interacts with hormones.5. Actionable StepsMonitor your hormones: notice stress, sleep, and food triggers.Mindful pairing: combine foods to balance glucose response.Strength training: lean muscle mass improves insulin efficiency.Anticipation awareness: notice how thoughts about food trigger cravings.Shift scarcity mindset: create safety around eating by experimenting with what nourishes you.The Reframe I Want You to Take With YouInstead of asking:“What should I eat?”I want you to start asking:How does this affect my hormones?Am I eating from safety or scarcity?What patterns am I reinforcing?What does my nervous system need right now?Transformation doesn't come from control.It comes from understanding.Key TakeawaysThe storage hormone is influenced by both biology and mindsetThere is no universal “healthy” foodStress and cravings are hormonally linkedAnticipation alone can trigger storageFood fear creates overeating — safety creates balanceHormone awareness beats calorie countingBook your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Welcome to The Rizzuto Show — the funny podcast that proves trivia is less about knowing answers and more about how loudly you can defend the wrong ones.On this episode, the crew dives headfirst into another round of trivia Matchup, a game designed to test knowledge, memory, logic, and emotional stability… and somehow only one of those things shows up. Moon, Learn, Rafe, and King Scott take turns absolutely torching their own credibility while attempting to answer questions that sound easy until your brain fully abandons you under pressure.We kick things off with Moon vs. Learn, a showdown that immediately spirals thanks to Barbie lore, calories, immortal honey, and the eternal question: what actually is a group of flamingos called? (Spoiler: nobody feels confident, but Moon feels confident anyway.) Marco Polo's nationality becomes a full vibe-based argument, Friends episode counts get wildly inflated, and logic is applied in ways science has specifically asked us not to.Then it's Rafe vs. King Scott, and this is where things truly get unhinged. Zodiac signs become public enemies, water signs are debated like conspiracy theories, and Rumpelstiltskin's straw-to-gold origin story is somehow made harder than it's been for centuries. Insulin, Yellowstone Lake, Johnny Carson, and the circumference of the Earth all take collateral damage as the crew confidently locks in answers that history itself disagrees with.What makes this episode special isn't who wins — it's how everyone loses just a little bit. The trash talk is elite, the confidence is unearned, and the logic is aggressively creative. This is The Rizzuto Show in peak form: loud, sarcastic, self-aware, and completely unbothered by being wrong as long as it's entertaining.If you love daily chaos, dumb confidence, and the sound of your own brain yelling “HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?” at your speakers, this funny podcast is exactly what you signed up forFollow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Just a half teaspoon of this natural anti-inflammatory acts as a potent ibuprofen substitute for inflammation and pain relief. Discover the best home remedies for pain and inflammation, and learn how to address inflammation at the root. 0:00 Introduction: Natural ibuprofen substitute 0:18 Curcumin, the natural anti-inflammatory 1:58 Pain relievers and ibuprofen comparison 2:08 Ibuprofen effects 3:25 Turmeric as a natural remedy vs. ibuprofen 4:32 More natural pain relief alternatives 6:15 Triggers of pain and inflammation8:25 Preventing inflammation Turmeric contains a potent compound called curcumin that can naturally alleviate pain and inflammation.There are 4 biochemical pathways that act as “master switches” to turn pain and inflammation up or down:1. Pain and inflammatory factory2. Master inflammation on-switch3. Inflammation megaphone 4. Backup inflammatory alarm system Many inflammatory treatments do not address all four pathways. Ibuprofen is great at turning the pain and inflammation switch off, and does so very quickly. Unfortunately, this pathway protects the stomach and kidneys, so ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney issues. It also doesn't address the other inflammatory pathways, which is why people often have to take it repeatedly. Tylenol works in the brain, affecting the central nervous system, but does not relieve any inflammation. Similar to ibuprofen, aspirin works on the first inflammatory pathway, which can also affect your stomach.Turmeric affects 3 out of the 4 inflammatory pathways! A double-blind randomized controlled study found that taking 1500 mg of turmeric with black pepper produced results comparable to ibuprofen without the side effects. Extra-virgin olive oil mimics ibuprofen's effects at the molecular level. Try adding it to your salad regularly! Ginger and omega-3 fatty acids also work to reduce inflammation. Boswellia targets the 5-LOX pathway, also known as the backup inflammatory alarm system.There are 5 primary causes that flip the inflammatory switches on, leading to pain and inflammation in the body. By addressing the root cause, you can correct the pain rather than simply managing it. The following 5 factors turn on all of the inflammatory switches:1. Insulin resistance2. Mitochondrial damage3. Chronic oxidative stress4. Leaky gut5. Chronic infectionsTo prevent inflammation and address the root cause, try the following:• Low-carb diet • Eliminate ultra-processed foods• Intermittent fasting/prolonged fasting• Magnesium, vitamin D3, zinc, omega-3sDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Heterogeneous2. Sick and living on the edge3. Metabolically inflexible 4. Originates from damaged mitochondria Insulin resistance is one of the most significant contributors to cancer risk. Insulin resistance can lead to metabolic inflexibility. Cancer also migrates to areas of inflammation. Microbiome disruption damages the microbes that protect the body against cancer. Toxicity caused by alcohol, smoking, and pesticides can also increase the risk of cancer.When you combine these risk factors, you significantly increase your risk of developing cancer.Colon cells get their fuel from a compound called butyrate, which is produced when a microbe consumes fiber. Butyrate strengthens the colon's lining, supports its function, and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Fiber has protective properties against cancer, but if your gut microbiome is compromised, it can make matters worse. The more advanced the cancer you have, the more you'll need to do prolonged fasting. This stresses the cancer cells and deprives them of fuel. The fasting-mimicking diet is also beneficial. If you haven't been diagnosed with cancer, periodic prolonged fasting can help with prevention. High doses of vitamin D3, sun exposure, and oxygen are also protective against cancer. A rotating diet is an incredible tool for cancer prevention. Focus on consuming key nutrients, including vitamin D3, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, turmeric, cruciferous vegetables, herbs, spices, green tea, and fermented vegetables.

Sugar isn't sinful. Artificial sweeteners aren't automatically better. But confusion around both is keeping many women stuck—especially in midlife.In this episode, we're having an honest, science-based conversation about sugar, insulin, and artificial sweeteners, and how your body actually responds to sweetness. This isn't about shame, restriction, or cutting everything out forever. It's about understanding the biology God designed so you can change habits with clarity instead of guilt.We'll talk about why fat loss feels harder in perimenopause, how insulin controls fat storage, why “sugar-free” foods can still stall progress, and how artificial sweeteners affect your brain, gut, hormones, and cravings. You'll also hear practical, realistic ways to reduce sugar and sweetness without extremes.In this episode, we cover:What sugar actually is and how it affects blood sugarThe role of insulin as a storage hormoneWhy chronically elevated insulin blocks fat lossWhy midlife women are more insulin-sensitiveHow artificial sweeteners signal the body like sugarWhy “calorie-free” doesn't mean metabolically neutralThe impact of artificial sweeteners on cravings, brain, and gut healthCalories vs metabolic signalsBiblical wisdom on self-control and stewardshipPractical ways to reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners sustainablyKey Scriptures Mentioned:1 Corinthians 10:23Proverbs 25:28Galatians 5:22–23Key Takeaway:You don't need to quit sugar forever. You don't need “sugar-free” everything. When you understand how your body responds to sweetness, you're free to make wiser choices without fear or guilt.Reflection Question:Where might clarity about how your body works help you release shame and build healthier habits?

In this foundational January episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling put insulin at the forefront of 2026 by unpacking five surprising metabolic insights from Dr. Ben Bikman, the world's leading insulin researcher, revealing why standard blood work misses early insulin resistance for years before glucose finally rises. They expose the hidden metabolic crisis where normal labs mask the slow march of insulin resistance that begins in overfilled fat cells—which become insulin resistant first as a protective mechanism to prevent rupture—then cascades to the liver, muscle, endothelium, and brain, explaining why seemingly unrelated conditions like PCOS, erectile dysfunction, brain fog, and cardiovascular disease all stem from the same insulin dysfunction. The hosts debunk the saturated fat myth by revealing that most saturated fat in your bloodstream comes from your liver converting excess carbohydrates through de novo lipogenesis, not from butter or steak, making late-night carbs particularly devastating since insulin sensitivity drops 30% at night, sabotaging sleep and activating fight-or-flight responses. This episode delivers the science-backed framework for why fasting isn't about restriction but about asking less of your insulin so cells can finally hear the signal to burn fat, providing actionable strategies including earlier meal timing, resistance training for glucose utilization, and specific lab markers like fasting insulin and HOMA-IR that flag metabolic dysfunction long before standard tests catch 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.

Struggling with stubborn belly fat even though you eat clean, fast, and exercise? The issue is not calories or willpower. It is chronically elevated insulin. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the #1 protein timing rule that can dramatically lower insulin, reduce cravings, and unlock fat burning fast. You will learn: Why insulin is the main hormone responsible for fat storage The most common signs you are spiking insulin too often How eating protein in the wrong order blocks fat loss The simple protein-first rule that smooths blood sugar and lowers insulin The correct order to eat protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates How protein naturally boosts GLP-1 and reduces cravings Why protein quality matters for insulin sensitivity and inflammation How this strategy works with fasting, keto, carnivore, and aging metabolism This episode also covers: The ideal amount of protein per meal and per day How to apply protein timing at restaurants and social events Options for plant-based eaters Why eating smarter matters more than eating less If belly fat will not budge, energy crashes after meals, or cravings control your day, this simple protein timing shift could change everything. Protein is not just food. It is information.When you send the right signal, your body knows exactly what to do.

This episode is about discovering your current set point — where your body and mind are living right now with food, movement, sleep, stress, and beliefs about weight — and how it drives cravings, emotions, and overall health.I dive into the difference between the number on the scale and the emotional and psychological weight we carry daily. Your habits and your body's responses aren't failures — they're signals. Your nervous system is trying to keep you safe.1. What Is Your Set Point? Your set point is your current rhythm with:FoodMovementSleepStress…and the beliefs you hold about weight, cravings, and your body's ability to change. It dictates emotional, psychological, and physical weight — the state your body feels safe in, even if it's not where you want to be. Key insight: your body defaults to the known, even if it feels “not enough” or creates unwanted habits.2. The Problem with Perfectionism & Overdrive: Focusing on perfection, overachieving, or constant productivity leads to:Higher stressSpiking cortisolStronger sugar cravingsIntense emotional eating cycles3. Understanding the Hormonal Loop: Critical hormones controlling cravings and weight:Cortisol — rises under stress, triggers sugar cravings, keeps your body in protection mode.Insulin — storage hormone, holds fat when cortisol is high.Leptin — satiety hormone, signals fullness.Ghrelin — hunger hormone, signals when to eat.Takeaway: if hormones are unbalanced, dieting or willpower alone won't work. Resetting hormones is key to changing your set point.4. Protection Mode vs. Safety Mode: Your body isn't lazy or “rebelling” — it's in protection mode. Weight gain, cravings, and mindless eating are protective responses to stress. Even destructive habits feel safe. Instead of shaming yourself, thank your body for keeping you safe and learn to transition to safety mode.5. How to Reset Your Set Point:Focus on hormone regulation, not just weight lossMove your body in ways that feel safe and enjoyableNourish without restrictionHonor rest and recoveryShift beliefs about cravings and your body's ability to changeThis helps cravings normalize, appetite regulation improve, and weight release naturally — without forcing, restricting, or shaming yourself.6. Personal Story & Lessons Learned During high-stress periods of grief, perfectionism, and overwork, I experienced:Cortisol-driven sugar bingesLeptin resistance and insatiable cravingsFeeling powerless despite “doing everything right”My breakthrough: willpower alone can't override biology. Learning about the nervous system and hormones helped me reset my set point and transform my relationship with food, movement, and my body.TakeawaysSet point = where your body feels safe, not failureWeight is emotional, psychological, energetic, and physicalCravings and stress responses are biologically drivenResetting hormones and focusing on safety mode creates sustainable changeJournal PromptsWhat is my current set point with food, movement, sleep, and stress?What beliefs do I hold about weight, cravings, and my body's ability to change?When do I feel most in protection mode?How can I shift from perfectionism to safety and self-regulation?Closing Message: You are in the right place if you feel stuck or disconnected from your body. Your cravings, weight, and energy challenges are messages, not failures. By regulating hormones and moving safely, you can shift your set point, calm your nervous system, and release weight effortlessly over time.GET THE HORMONE RESET EBOOK now: https://sherryshaban.com/hormoneresetListen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

Discover the five science-backed reasons you're always tired and what to do about it. From adrenal dysfunction and chronic inflammation to nutritional deficiencies, sunlight exposure, and hormone decline—learn how to identify your fatigue triggers and restore your energy naturally with actionable lab work, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol levels—the key hormone controlling your stress response, sleep quality, and daily energy. If you're always tired despite getting enough sleep, Zen provides the targeted adrenal support your body needs to restore balanced cortisol production and reclaim the calm, sustained energy you've been missing. Get zen here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/zen 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Adrenal dysfunction is the primary cause of chronic fatigue - When stress overactivates your adrenal glands for years, cortisol production becomes imbalanced, disrupting sleep and draining energy even after a full night's rest. Chronic inflammation creates debilitating tiredness - Conditions like insulin resistance, autoimmune disorders, liver issues, and chronic pain keep your body in a constant state of metabolic stress that depletes energy reserves. Nutritional deficiencies directly impact energy production - Deficiencies in B vitamins (especially B6, B9, and B12), choline, and vitamin D impair neurotransmitter production and cellular energy, with genetic factors like MTHFR compounding the problem. Morning sunlight is non-negotiable for energy regulation - Just 10-15 minutes of morning sun exposure produces 10,000 IU of vitamin D, increases serotonin and cortisol naturally, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep and daytime energy. Hormone decline accelerates fatigue after age 40 - Low testosterone in men and declining estrogen in women contribute significantly to persistent tiredness, but addressing adrenal health should always come before hormone replacement. JOIN THE SCHOOL Recovering from adrenal fatigue requires more than just breathing exercises and supplements—your diet plays a crucial role in cortisol regulation and energy stability. That's why we're launching a 6-week "No Grains. No Sugar." class starting Thursday, January 15th. Eliminating grains and sugar helps stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and take stress off your adrenal glands—giving them the space they need to recover. Beyond the structured classes, the School of Doza community connects you with others working through their own health transformations. Share what's working (and what's not), get accountability for your 90-day adrenal reset, and have your questions answered during our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions that function like group consults. Whether you need help interpreting your DHEAS results, troubleshooting your HRV tracking, or figuring out why you're still crashing at 2 PM, the community and weekly sessions give you direct access to guidance and support. Start with a FREE TRIAL and join us for the "No Grains. No Sugar." class to accelerate your adrenal recovery.

Rice doesn't spike blood sugar because it's “bad.” It spikes blood sugar because of how it's eaten. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down five science-backed ways to upgrade rice so it supports metabolic health instead of sabotaging it. You'll learn how simple additions like seaweed, vinegar, cooling rice, adding protein and fat, and using soluble fiber can dramatically lower glucose and insulin responses while improving gut health. These strategies are backed by human studies and help turn rice from a fast-acting carb into a slow-digesting, gut-healing, fat-burning food. Key topics covered: Why rice causes insulin spikes and visceral fat when eaten incorrectly How wakame seaweed lowers glucose and feeds beneficial gut bacteria Why vinegar reduces post-meal blood sugar and insulin How cooling and reheating rice creates resistant starch The importance of pairing carbs with protein, fat, and vegetables How psyllium husk can blunt glucose spikes and support digestion Why white rice can be healthier than brown rice for many people If you've been avoiding rice due to blood sugar concerns, this episode shows you how to enjoy it again without the crash.

Indiana lawmakers gathered at the statehouse today for the second part of the session, following a contentious start in December over redistricting. Three weeks after announcing a “pause in operations,” Martin University's board of trustees announced in a letter published in the I Indianapolis Recorder that the college is closing its doors for good. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is suing Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company over the price of insulin. Indiana will not participate again in a federal program that helps families buy food for children during the summer. Indiana Colts Owner & CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon holds a press conference on the team's season.

In this episode, Sherry breaks down one of the most misunderstood reasons weight release feels impossible — and it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or “doing it wrong.” It's all about your nervous system, hormones, and how your body is trying to protect you.1. The Autonomic Nervous System: Your Body's Survival Command CenterSherry revisits the autonomic nervous system — the unconscious system running everything behind the scenes: thoughts, emotions, behavior, hormones, digestion, metabolism.When life feels overwhelming or unsafe, this system shifts into protection mode (fight-or-flight, sympathetic state). This state isn't bad or broken — it's brilliant, designed to help you survive real danger. The problem? It was meant to last minutes or hours, not weeks, months, or years.2. Why Protection Mode Slows MetabolismWhen your body senses danger, survival comes first, not weight release. It adapts by slowing metabolism, conserving energy, increasing cravings, and prioritizing fat storage.If you struggle with constant hunger, sugar cravings, binge eating, or dopamine-seeking behaviors, remember: your body is not failing — it's doing exactly what it was designed to do.3. Cortisol: The “Keep You Alive” HormoneCortisol, released from the adrenal glands in protection mode, keeps blood sugar available, provides instant energy, and ensures survival.Cortisol pulls glucose into the bloodstream, increases cravings for quick energy, triggers binge responses, and makes you feel like a bottomless pit. In modern life, we stress, sit, and scroll instead of running or climbing. That unused blood sugar circulates, creating hormonal consequences.4. Insulin: The Storage HormoneWhen blood sugar stays high, insulin steps in to store glucose as glycogen, protect tissues, and convert excess sugar into body fat once storage is full.When insulin is high, your body cannot access stored fat. This is why weight release stalls and dieting feels futile. Repeated cortisol + insulin spikes can lead to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroid symptoms, or adrenal fatigue. Sherry reminds us: these conditions are results, not starting points.5. Why Dieting Doesn't Fix the Root ProblemTrying to “just stop sugar” while cortisol is high is like trying to stop your body from healing a cut. Logic cannot override biology. Elevated cortisol keeps cravings, binge urges, and food obsession active. That's why Make Peace With Food starts with regulating the nervous system, not controlling food.6. Scarcity Mindset = Protection ModeScarcity mindset is protection mode. Any “not enough” thought — not enough time, sleep, money, progress, worth — keeps cortisol elevated. Success doesn't eliminate scarcity because it's fear-based. Fear biologically signals danger.7. Fear Creates ChemistryEvery thought creates chemistry: Scarcity → fear → protection mode → cortisol → cravings + storage. This is why people can know what to do, want change, yet still feel stuck. Biology always overrides willpower.TakeawaysYour body is protective, not failing.Cortisol and insulin are survival hormones.Chronic stress locks the body into storage mode.Dieting cannot fix a dysregulated nervous system.Scarcity mindset keeps you in protection mode.Journal PromptsWhere do I live in “not enough”?What fears keep my body in protection mode?How does my body protect me through food?What would safety feel like in my body today?What small shift could move me from scarcity to trust?Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals how using one tablespoon of high-quality extra virgin olive oil during a fast can enhance fat loss, autophagy, insulin sensitivity, and cortisol balance instead of breaking your fast. Ben explains why fasting is not about zero calories, but about hormonal signaling, and how the right olive oil sends a powerful “fat-burning and healing” message to the body. You'll learn: Why olive oil does not break a fast and actually enhances autophagy How extra virgin olive oil activates fat-burning genes (PPAR-alpha) The role of olive oil in lowering insulin and cortisol Why high-polyphenol olive oil matters and most grocery store oils fail A simple daily olive oil fasting protocol for metabolic health How olive oil fasting can be gentler and more effective than water fasting The truth about cooking with olive oil vs seed oils Ben also breaks down how to identify real, high-quality olive oil, why polyphenols are the key compound for fat loss and inflammation reduction, and how this simple protocol can lead to better energy, reduced belly fat, and impro FREE GUIDE: Lose 10 Pounds in 7 Days - https://bit.ly/4sjMvfZ 

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why dangerous belly fat isn't a calorie issue but a hormone issue, and why insulin control is the real key to fat loss. You'll learn how visceral fat actively drives inflammation, aging, and chronic disease, even in people who appear healthy on the outside. This sets the foundation for understanding what actually blocks fat burning in the body.   You'll discover how elevated insulin locks the body into fat-storage mode and why common symptoms like cravings, brain fog, stubborn weight, and low energy are warning signs of insulin resistance. The episode connects these symptoms to deeper metabolic dysfunction rather than willpower or discipline.   You'll also learn the daily habits that flip your metabolism from storing fat to burning it, including how food quality, sleep, movement, and muscle directly impact insulin levels. Along the way, Dr. Jockers shares practical strategies that improve metabolic flexibility while leaving room for deeper insights as you listen.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction and Importance of Good Sleep 00:12 New Year Greetings and Episode Overview 00:27 Burning Dangerous Belly Fat 00:39 Health Coaching and Resources 03:16 Understanding Visceral Fat and Inflammation 04:05 Role of Insulin in Fat Burning 05:02 Signs of High Insulin Levels 06:17 Dietary Changes to Lower Insulin 07:26 Importance of Whole Foods and Healthy Fats 08:06 Benefits of Colorful Fruits and Vegetables 09:10 Incorporating Herbs and Spices 09:25 Building Muscle and Exercise 10:22 Prioritizing Good Sleep 11:25 Reducing Toxic Load and Environmental Factors 12:39 Final Tips and Conclusion   Hair loss isn't caused by age but by hair follicles being switched off, and Swiss researchers discovered how to turn them back on with Purality Health - AnaGain Nu, a clinically proven compound extracted from pea sprouts that stimulates hair follicle cells and pushes them back into the growth phase.

According to investigative science journalist Gary Taubes, much of what we “know” about nutrition is built on weak evidence, bad assumptions, and decades of groupthink. In this episode of A Whole New Level, Taubes joins Mike Haney to examine how nutrition science went off the rails—and why he remains convinced the carbohydrate–insulin model still offers the most coherent explanation for obesity.Taubes explains how observational studies became policy, why randomized trials are often ignored, and why questioning the calorie-balance model remains controversial despite mounting contradictions. The conversation is less about winning an argument and more about how science should actually work—especially when public health is at stake.⁠Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠⁠⁠

Have you ever said, "I just don't feel like myself anymore" — even though your labs look normal? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down why inflammation starts in the brain, how it drives fatigue, brain fog, cravings, hormone imbalance, and accelerated aging — and why 2026 is the year to stop suppressing symptoms and start correcting root causes. Inflammation isn't just a body problem. It's a brain health issue first. Your brain uses 20% of your daily calories, and when inflammation is present, it shifts into defensive mode, not performance mode. That's when clarity disappears, energy crashes, and nothing feels like it's working anymore.

Many women describe a pattern they are never able to explain. They eat well, exercise consistently, and follow every recommendation they are given. Yet their weight fluctuates, their mood shifts unpredictably, and their focus disappears for weeks at a time. Anxiety creeps in. Depression settles quietly. Brain fog becomes normal. And eventually, shame takes over.This is not a motivation problem.This is not a discipline issue.And it is not “all in your head.”In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Sarah Oreck to reveal why PCOS is not just a hormonal or reproductive condition, but a whole-body mental health story that has been overlooked for decades.Instead of viewing PCOS through isolated symptoms like irregular cycles, acne, or fertility struggles, Dr. Oreck explains how insulin resistance, inflammation, cortisol dysregulation, and androgen shifts directly affect brain chemistry, cognition, emotional regulation, and stress tolerance. She breaks down why women with PCOS experience significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, brain fog, and eating disorders, even when routine labs appear normal.This episode explores how blood sugar instability alters neurotransmitter production, why inflammation may be a core driver of mood disorders, and how chronic stress and cortisol overload reshape the nervous system over time. Dr. Taz and Dr. Oreck also examine the role of medical gaslighting, delayed diagnosis, and the psychological toll of being told symptoms are imagined, exaggerated, or self-inflicted.From adolescence through fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause, this conversation reframes PCOS as a condition that affects the brain, gut, metabolism, and nervous system together, not in isolation. It highlights why symptom masking often fails, why talk therapy alone is not enough during hormonal dysregulation, and why true healing requires integrated, compassionate care.You will learn why weight swings are not about willpower, why mood changes often track with insulin and cortisol rather than character, how gut health and microbiome shifts influence cognition, and what it means to become hormone-literate early, for yourself and for your children.Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Oreck offer a clear, validating roadmap for anyone who has felt dismissed, confused, or trapped in a body that will not respond the way it is supposed to.Dr. Taz and Dr. Sarah Oreck discuss: • Why PCOS has a major mental health component that is rarely addressed • How insulin resistance and blood sugar swings impact mood and cognition • The link between inflammation and anxiety, depression, and brain fog • Why cortisol and chronic stress intensify PCOS symptoms • How medical gaslighting delays diagnosis and fuels shame • Why fertility journeys often uncover long-missed PCOS patterns • The connection between PCOS and eating disorders like bulimia • How gut health and microbiome shifts affect brain function • Why birth control can help some women and worsen symptoms for others • The importance of hormone literacy across the lifespan • How to advocate for yourself when symptoms are dismissed • Why healing requires integrated care, not isolated fixesAbout Dr. Sarah Oreck Dr. Sarah Oreck is a reproductive psychiatrist and the founder of Mavida Health. She specializes in the intersection of female reproductive hormones and mental health, with a focus on conditions like PCOS, fertility-related mood disorders, pregnancy, and postpartum mental health. Through clinical care, education, and community building, she works to close the gap between psychiatry, endocrinology, and whole-person medicine.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Sarah OreckInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahoreckmdWebsite: https://www.sarahoreckmd.com/ & https://mavidahealth.com/ Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek) (00:00) - Doing everything right but nothing changes (00:18) - Shame and medical gaslighting (00:37) - PCOS as a mental health story (01:16) - Inflammation and brain chemistry (02:00) - Focus, memory, emotions, and PCOS (04:21) - Origin story: hormones and gaslighting (06:11) - Why PCOS is missed (07:52) - PCOS and depression/anxiety rates (09:22) - Why fertility journeys reveal PCOS (11:30) - Labs and patterns clinicians ignore (12:59) - Diagnosis criteria explained (14:57) - Blood sugar swings and mood (15:56) - Insulin resistance and cognition (18:18) - Cortisol, stress, and PCOS (20:51) - Pregnancy exposure and cortisol (27:11) - Why we need screening tools (30:49) - Supplements that may help (32:15) - Microbiome and brain fog (44:31) - Rehearsing your story with doctors (46:10) - PCOS and bulimia connection (49:42) - Become hormone literate early

The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds isn't just about diet or workouts—it's your liver. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how your liver impacts fat loss through detox, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, and mindset. If you're stuck in your weight loss journey, your liver may be the key. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS The liver produces antioxidants like glutathione that directly reduce inflammation and support fat metabolism. Hormone balance—especially estrogen and cortisol regulation—depends on liver health. Blood sugar regulation starts with the liver, which stores and processes glucose after meals. Fat cells become inflamed without proper liver function, leading to leptin resistance and weight gain. Sustainable fat loss requires mindset shifts—and liver support helps you regain control.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Mariza Snyder discuss the transformative journey of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mariza shares her personal experiences with chronic migraines and how they led her to become a functional medicine practitioner focused on women's health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of chronic stress, and the necessity of movement and nutrition in reclaiming health. Dr. Mariza encourages women to envision their future selves and take ownership of their health journeys, while also addressing the societal pressures that contribute to stress and unhealthy habits. Takeaways Dr. Mariza's journey from chiropractic to functional medicine was driven by her own health struggles. Chronic migraines often affect women in perimenopause due to hormonal changes. Empowering women through health can create a multiplier effect in communities. Movement is essential for recovery and overall well-being. Functional health practitioners focus on root causes rather than just symptoms. Women often feel pressured to be busy, which can lead to chronic stress. Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but stress impacts health significantly. Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing health, especially regarding processed sugars. Insulin resistance is a growing concern for women in midlife. Reading and self-education can empower individuals to take control of their health.

3 Oreos and 1/2 an Avocado join Luis on the podcast today. Their calories are the same, but how each affects our glucose levels is very different. Refined carbs spike glucose, which increases insulin, and puts us into fat storage mode.Another factor to weight is stress and trauma, especially when in functional freeze, where we produce adrenaline, but do not burn it off with movement. Join us live on January 13th 2026 at 10am EST as we take a deeper dive into this topic together.You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/weight-and-trauma You can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Blue Spirit Costa Rica here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/blue-spirit----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Bread was once a true superfood that fueled ancient civilizations for thousands of years without causing obesity, diabetes, or widespread gut issues. Today's bread, however, is a completely different product. In this episode, Ben explains how modern bread has been industrialized through hybridized wheat, chemical processing, seed oils, and rushed production methods that disrupt digestion, spike blood sugar, inflame the gut, and damage metabolic health. You'll learn why gluten isn't the real problem, how fermentation was stripped from modern bread, and how glyphosate sprayed on wheat impacts gut bacteria, immunity, and mitochondria. Ben also explains why inflammation, not just insulin spikes, is the root cause of belly fat and metabolic dysfunction. The episode breaks down whether sourdough is truly safe, how to choose better bread options if you eat it at all, and why many people feel better avoiding bread completely while healing their metabolism. Ben also shares practical strategies to reduce inflammation, improve blood sugar control, and take back control of your health through informed food choices. Key takeaway: Bread didn't fail you. The system failed bread. When you respect food again, your metabolism responds. FREE GUIDE: 5 Vegetables You Must Avoid To Lose Weight & Belly Fat -  https://bit.ly/4s7xA8F 

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why cravings are not a willpower issue, but a hormonal and metabolic problem driven by insulin instability. Ben explains how insulin spikes shut off fat burning, trigger hunger hormones, increase stress, and fuel uncontrollable cravings, especially at night. He breaks down the science behind insulin, glucose crashes, ghrelin, cortisol, and dopamine-driven eating behaviors. You'll learn a simple, science-backed protocol to stabilize insulin first, before calorie restriction, cardio, or fasting, so cravings drop naturally and fat loss becomes automatic. The episode outlines a practical 7-day reset that helps reduce inflammation, water retention, and stubborn belly fat while restoring metabolic control. Ben also answers common questions about carbs, coffee, artificial sweeteners, protein intake, exercise, fasting, and how to make results sustainable long term. This conversation reframes fat loss as a metabolic healing process, not a discipline battle, and shows how true metabolic freedom feels calm, empowering, and sustainable.

Build muscle, lose fat, and get stronger with daily personalized guidance.—Body recomp, build muscle, and lose fat without wrecking your metabolism. Have you ever wondered why weight loss leaves you smaller but not better? What if muscle, not weight loss, is the real driver of transformation?I break down why chasing the scale backfires and how building muscle changes everything. Muscle improves metabolism, insulin sensitivity, nutrient partitioning, and how much you can eat while staying lean. I explain why weight loss without strength training often leads to muscle loss, fatigue, and rebound fat gain, especially for men's health, women's fitness, and anyone focused on longevity. This is about evidence-based fitness and evidence-based nutrition, not quick fixes.I also share why strength training over 40 is non-negotiable for health, body positivity, and sustainable results, plus the simple daily habit that surprised me by accelerating muscle-building without more gym time.If you want real body recomp and a physique that actually looks trained, this episode will reframe how you approach nutrition and fitness.

If you're not losing weight, dangerous diet advice may be the reason. Discover the worst weight loss mistakes and how to lose weight fast with these 13 effective weight loss tips.0:00 Introduction: weight loss lies1:01 The worst weight loss advice 1:49 Low-calorie diets2:30 Weight loss mistakes6:01 13 weight loss tips14:08 Periodic prolonged fasting to lose weight fast Surprisingly, the most common weight loss tips given by mainstream dietitians and medical professionals are the worst diet advice! Calorie counting and portion control will leave you feeling hungry and constantly craving carbs. The body adapts to a low-calorie diet, leading to a slower metabolism. A low-calorie, high-carbohydrate diet raises insulin levels.I'm sure you've heard these other bad weight loss tips: • Eat 6 small meals per day• Count calories• Increase fiber• Drink more water to help you feel full• Chew gum• Take Ozempic These tips will not boost fat loss!Your body can use fat or glucose for fuel. Although stored fat is potential energy, you must lower your insulin to utilize it.Insulin resistance is at the root of many chronic illnesses and can negatively affect the liver, nervous system, immune system, and more. Low-calorie diets that don't lower insulin are not sustainable. You won't be able to achieve your goals if you're hungry, craving carbs, dealing with brain fog, high blood pressure, or other related issues. If you really want to lose weight, stop calorie counting! Try these 13 weight loss tips instead:1 Don't use pre-workout, sugary drinks, or protein bars.2. Keep your carbs at around 10 to 20 grams per day.3. No bright lights at night. 4. Get early morning sun.5. Avoid late-night snacking. 6. Never buy junk food at the grocery store. Don't shop while hungry!7. Be cautious around social situations.8. Walk after meals.9. Don't eat unless you're hungry.10. Prioritize healthy animal protein.11. Consume apple cider vinegar before meals.12. Avoid diets that keep you bloated.13. Do periodic prolonged fasting.

PCOS is often discussed in extremes, but the reality is far more nuanced. Drawing from a large meta-analysis, I walk through what the research actually shows about energy expenditure, metabolic flexibility, and fat loss in women with PCOS. This conversation explores why results can vary so widely, how insulin resistance and metabolic adaptation influence outcomes, and where standard calorie-based models fall short.Topics discussed: - PCOS and energy balance- Metabolic rate variability- Insulin resistance implications- Metabolic flexibility challenges- Brown fat and metabolism- Dieting and metabolic adaptation---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

Are you over 40 or 50 and struggling with belly fat, low energy, stubborn weight gain, and being told "it's just your age"? I'm here to tell you - that is absolute rubbish. I'm 57 years old, with visible abs, balanced hormones, high energy, low inflammation, and I train 85% less than when I was running ultra-marathons. This video reveals the exact science-based blueprint I used to transform my body — and how you can do it too. After decades battling eating disorders, hormone chaos, inflammation, and even gaining weight while running 52 marathons in 42 days, everything changed when I discovered genetics, epigenetics, functional medicine, and immune ageing. In this video, you'll learn: Why long cardio makes menopause belly fat worse The hormone shifts after 50 that change everything Why inflammation (not calories) controls fat loss The tests every woman over 40 should get How to build muscle and boost metabolism after 50 How to fix insulin resistance, the key to visible abs Why cortisol and stress block fat loss The toxins ("obesogens") that keep fat cells locked How personalised genetics create predictable results Topics Covered: Hormonal balance and belly fat after menopause Metabolism optimisation and reversing aging Inflammation, immune system ageing, and weight gain Insulin resistance and cortisol management over 50 Strength training and building muscle after menopause Longevity and biohacking for women 50+ Functional medicine and epigenetics in fat loss Healthy ageing strategies for women At 57, I have better health, fitness, skin, and energy than I did in my 20s — not because of luck, but because of science that works for real women after 50.  If you want your own personalised blueprint, reach out at support@lisatamati.com You are NOT too old. Your best body is NOT behind you. Let's redefine what's possible!  

Insulin resistance isn't just about carbs, sugar, or calories—and if you're doing “everything right” but still struggling with weight loss, fatigue, or blood sugar issues, this episode explains why. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, Liz and Becca break down 9 core contributors to insulin resistance that almost no one is testing for: nutrient deficiencies, liver dysfunction, chronic stress, mitochondrial burnout, estrogen dominance, potassium depletion, mold and mycotoxins, circadian rhythm disruption, and leaky gut–driven inflammation. You'll learn how insulin resistance actually develops, why fasting and under-eating often make it worse, and how blood sugar issues are deeply connected to your liver, hormones, immune system, and cellular energy—not willpower. If weight loss feels impossible, your labs “look normal,” or you're stuck in fatigue, cravings, or stubborn inflammation, this episode will change how you look at metabolic health. *** CONNECT:
