If you've ever felt like your body changed overnight, your brain got foggy, your emotions got louder, and nobody handed you a manual for what the hell was happening… this episode is going to hit.In this conversation, Marina sits down with Joyce — nurse, women's health advocate, and founder of Rejoiceful Living — for a real, unfiltered talk about perimenopause, hormone shifts, invisible symptoms, and what happens when a woman stops dismissing what she feels and starts building a mission around it.What makes this episode so powerful is that Joyce isn't speaking from theory. She's lived it. After 20 years in nursing and her own brutal experience with perimenopause, she realized how many women were being dismissed, underprepared, and flat-out confused by what was happening in their bodies. So instead of staying stuck, she built a brand, a program, and a resource hub to help women feel informed, supported, and empowered again.This is also a deeper conversation about what happens when a woman stops trying to fit into a business model that doesn't light her up… and starts building a brand around what she's actually called to do.What You'll LearnWhy so many women think they're “losing it” when they may actually be dealing with perimenopauseThe symptoms nobody warned us about — from brain fog and inflammation to sleep issues and mood shiftsHow estrogen impacts way more than periods and fertilityWhy women are often underprepared for this phase of life compared to pregnancy and postpartumHow Joyce used her own struggle and 20 years of nursing experience to create an offer that actually servesWhat symptom tracking can reveal before you ever step into a doctor's officeHow to advocate for yourself so you don't get dismissed or gaslit by providersThe difference between trying to sell a product… and building a mission-led personal brandWhat Joyce built in just nine months inside Brand Me On DemandHow clarity creates confidence when you finally know who you help and how you help themKey Moments / Timestamp Outline0:00 — Marina's honest intro: no script, no prep, just a real conversation2:00 — Joyce shares her personal experience with perimenopause and why this mission matters6:00 — Marina opens up about early menopause symptoms and feeling completely unprepared9:00 — The overlooked symptoms women don't realize are connected to hormone shifts14:00 — Brain fog, inflammation, stress, and the compounding effect of hormone changes18:00 — Why women are overprepared for birth… and wildly underprepared for perimenopause23:00 — Hormone replacement, provider resistance, and advocating for your health28:00 — How Joyce turned her experience into a real offer and support portal for women33:00 — What it looks like to work with Joyce and where women should start first38:00 — Insulin resistance, inflammation, weight gain, and why “eat less, move more” isn't the whole story45:00 — The authority piece: why Joyce's nursing background changes everything50:00 — Everything Joyce built in nine months while working full time57:00 — The confidence shift that happens when your brand finally matches your mission1:02:00 — Why Joyce is now known as “the menopause lady” and why that branding is genius1:05:00 — Final encouragement for the woman who knows she's called to moreFavorite Soundbites / Pull Quotes“I thought I was having a mental breakdown… and it was perimenopause.”“Midlife women deserve more.”“Small changes have a compounding effect.”“You are not gonna know in a 24-hour period what's bothering you the most.”“I help them know what to say so they don't get gaslit or dismissed.”“It's not about trying to look skinny.

In this re-release episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with returning guest Dr. Tyna Moore to tackle one of the most controversial health conversations happening right now: GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Together they break down the difference between pharmaceutical propaganda, real clinical data, and the importance of critical thinking in a polarized health landscape. Dr. Tyna Moore is a naturopathic physician and regenerative medicine expert who has spent decades helping patients improve metabolic health, hormones, and longevity. In this conversation, she explains what GLP-1 peptides actually are, how they function in the body, and why the conversation around drugs like Ozempic has become so polarized online. Kaylor and Dr. Tyna explore metabolic dysfunction, the role of lifestyle foundations like strength training and nutrition, the dangers of oversimplified health narratives, and why nuance matters when evaluating new medical tools. This episode challenges listeners to think critically and examine how powerful interventions can be used responsibly within a comprehensive approach to health. Episode Highlights: metabolic dysfunction crisis, GLP-1 peptides explained, Ozempic controversy, critical thinking in health, pharmaceutical industry influence, strength training for longevity, insulin resistance and middle age, metabolic health foundations, addiction and dopamine pathways, peptide therapy and longevity medicine, misinformation in health media, nuanced thinking in wellness Takeaways: Most chronic disease begins with metabolic dysfunction long before diagnosis GLP-1 peptides exist naturally in the body and influence appetite, metabolism, and brain signaling Lifestyle foundations like resistance training and nutrition remain non-negotiable Many health controversies exist because nuance is lost in polarized conversations Pharmaceutical tools can be useful when used responsibly within a broader health strategy Insulin resistance often develops silently for years before diabetes is diagnosed Educating yourself is one of the most powerful ways to take ownership of your health If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a wide-ranging conversation about diabetes management, inhalable insulin, and the importance of taking ownership of your care.Ken shares his experience getting Afrezza (inhalable insulin) approved again through insurance and how it's dramatically improving his blood sugar stability. The discussion explores how Afrezza works differently from traditional rapid-acting insulin and why some people living with diabetes use it as a powerful tool for correcting highs quickly. The conversation also moves into several old-school diabetes practices—from the 15-15 rule for treating lows to how people managed blood sugars before CGMs existed. Ken and Graham reflect on how diabetes care has evolved and why experimentation and personal data play such an important role in finding what works.Later in the episode, they discuss the real financial burden of living with diabetes, breaking down how medical costs, supplies, insurance deductibles, and daily management tools add up each year.Ken also shares why advocating for yourself during endocrinologist appointments is critical. Rather than relying solely on your doctor to solve problems, the most successful patients come prepared with questions, trends, and data that help guide productive conversations - and take ownership of their own care.

All the instructions it's very easy in the show notes. Okay.. our top story this week: XX A biotech company developing stem-cell treatments for type 1 diabetes has announced a new research partnership aimed at improving the survival of transplanted insulin-producing cells. NewcelX, a clinical-stage company based in Switzerland, said it will work with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to study a combination approach. The goal is to help transplanted cells survive longer in the body by reducing the immune response that often leads to transplant rejection. If successful, the strategy could support longer-lasting islet cell replacement and move the therapy closer to becoming a functional treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. However, the companies have not yet released any safety or effectiveness data on the combination treatment, and financial details of the partnership were not disclosed. The research agreement is focused on exploring whether combining stem-cell-derived islets with targeted immune therapy can lead to longer-lasting cell transplants and improved outcomes for people with type 1 diabetes. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/ELDN/newcel-x-announces-strategic-collaboration-with-eledon-d10l1vqdofls.html XX Debate this week in the UK on whether testing for type 1 diabetes should become mandatory when children present with symptoms. The Westminster Hall debate, scheduled for 9 March, will consider calls for routine testing of babies, toddlers and young children who show signs associated with the condition. It follows a petition backing the move, dubbed 'Lyla's Law', which passed 121,000 signatures in December 2025. The campaign was launched by John Story after his two-year-old daughter, Lyla, died from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) on 3 May 2025, 16 hours after being diagnosed with tonsillitis. https://www.nursinginpractice.com/clinical/diabetes-and-endocrinology/diabetes-community-urged-to-call-on-mps-to-attend-lylas-law-debate/ XX A new study suggests that people with gestational diabetes who adjust their own insulin doses may reach healthy blood sugar levels faster than those whose doses are adjusted by clinicians. Half of the participants were assigned to adjust their own insulin doses using a simple rule: increase the dose by two units if fasting blood glucose was above 95 mg/dL, decrease it by two units if it dropped below 70 mg/dL, and keep the same dose if levels fell in between. The other half had their insulin adjusted by clinicians through weekly reviews. By the end of pregnancy, both groups had similar average fasting glucose levels before delivery: about 89 mg/dL in the patient-led group and 90 mg/dL in the clinician-led group. However, those adjusting their own insulin reached their blood sugar targets more quickly, averaging 1.8 weeks compared with 2.5 weeks for those managed by clinicians. The study also found lower risks of certain complications among the patient-led group. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/self-insulin-dosing-leads-control-gestational-diabetes-2026a1000729 XX A blockbuster anti-obesity and diabetes drug could cost as little as $3 per month to manufacture once it goes off patent later this month, researchers said Friday, providing a major opportunity to boost health in low and middle-income countries. Semaglutide, the active molecule in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy will lose patent protection in countries such as Brazil, China, and India later this month, and researchers identified 150 countries where it was never patented. These researchers estimated it will cost as little as $3 to produce a month's supply of semaglutide, which in its branded form sells for around $200 a month in the United States. Another of the study's authors, Professor Francois Venter at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, said drugs to treat HIV, TB, malaria, and hepatitis are now available at prices close to production costs but still sufficient for generic manufacturers to operate. https://www.sciencealert.com/weight-loss-drugs-could-cost-just-3-a-month-to-make-as-patents-end XX Here in the US the FDA is stepping up its efforts to combat widespread GLP-1 drug compounding. In its latest offensive, the agency has unleashed a fresh set of 30 warning letters targeting telehealth companies it says make "false or misleading" claims about compounded versions of popular obesity drugs. The FDA says Compounded drugs can be important for overcoming shortages or meeting unique patient needs—but compounders should not try to compound drugs in a way that circumvents FDA's approval process." https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/fda-ramps-crackdown-glp-1-drug-compounders-fresh-batch-30-warning-letters XX Check your infusion sets for an issue: Unomedical, a subsidiary of Convatec and a supplier of insulin infusion sets to diabetes tech firms, has received a warning letter from the FDA. Inspectors raised concerns with leaking infusion sets, following a regulatory assessment of Unomedical's facility in Reynosa, Mexico, last summer. Unomedical supplies infusion sets to insulin pump makers including Medtronic, Tandem Diabetes Care and Beta Bionics. In a Feb. 3 statement, Convatec said the letter focuses on reporting procedures and quality protocols and does not place restrictions on producing, marketing or distributing any of Unomedical's products. Unomedical told the FDA in its responses that it plans to conduct a retrospective review of complaints involving serious injury or death by January and conduct additional training on complaint handling by May. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-warns-insulin-infusion-set-maker-unomedical-over-leaks-mishandled-comp/813503/ XX Nearly four in ten people with type 2 diabetes do not take their medications as prescribed, according to a new research review published in Diabetologia in November 2025. Researchers examined existing studies on medication adherence, including how often patients miss doses, why it happens, and what strategies may help. They estimated that about 38% of patients with type 2 diabetes are not fully adherent to their medications. Adherence rates vary depending on the type of medication. About 63% to 68% of patients take oral glucose-lowering drugs as directed, while adherence drops to 43% to 54% for injectable GLP-1 medications and 41% to 64% for insulin. Poor adherence can lead to serious consequences. One retrospective study cited in the review found that patients who consistently took their glucose-lowering medications had a 31% lower risk of hospitalization or emergency department visits. The review also highlighted ways to improve adherence. Simplifying medication routines can help, such as using fixed-dose combination pills, which combine multiple drugs into a single tablet. Studies show these combinations are linked to better adherence and improved blood sugar control. Pharmacists can also play an important role by providing education, reviewing medications, setting up reminders, and helping patients organize their treatment plans. The researchers noted that support should be tailored to each patient. Older adults may benefit from simpler systems and caregiver support, while younger patients may respond better to digital tools like app-based reminders. The authors also found that measuring adherence is challenging and recommend using multiple methods, such as pharmacy records, patient interviews, and objective tests when possible. Overall, the review concludes that personalized, multi-step approaches lasting at least three months are most effective in helping people with type 2 diabetes stay on track with their medications. https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/type-2-diabetes-medication-adherence-rates-remain-low-and-pharmacists-can-help XX New clinical trial shows metformin does not directly reverse insulin resistance in people with type 1 diabetes. Instead, it lowers the total amount of insulin required to keep blood glucose levels within the recommended range. The findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge long-held assumptions about how metformin works in type 1 diabetes. The results may help physicians refine treatment strategies and reduce the daily demands placed on people who rely solely on insulin therapy. "Insulin resistance is a growing problem in type 1 diabetes. Not only does it make regulating blood sugar levels difficult, but it is an underappreciated risk factor for heart disease, which is one of the biggest causes of health complications and deaths in those with type 1 diabetes," says Dr. Jennifer Snaith, endocrinologist and co-lead of the study. https://scitechdaily.com/groundbreaking-trial-reveals-unexpected-benefit-of-metformin-in-type-1-diabetes/ Tech news ahead, including updates from Sensonics, Dexcom & Tandem.. right after this…. Back ot the wnews.. XX Sensonics shares that it's secured FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) for its self-powered, battery-enabled Gemini sensor. It enrolled the first patients in the IDE trial and expects to complete that in the second half of 2026. Gemini builds on the implanted CGM to put the transmitter under the skin as well as the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q4-2025-ide-gemini-cgm/ XX Medtronic Diabetes is now officially MiniMid, a stand alone public company. Medtronic acquired MiniMed 25 years ago announed last May that it would spin its diabetes business off. In their statement the company points out that MiniMed is the only diabetes tech company to sell both insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/medtronics-diabetes-unit-minimed-valued-at-53-billion-as-shares-fall-in-nasdaq-debut-4547518 XX Kevin Sayer heads back to Dexcom.. The former CEO is back in his position as executive chair of the Board, he'd stepped away for a medical leave. Dexcom (Nasdaq:DXCM) announced today in an SEC filing that former CEO Kevin Sayer has returned from his leave of absence. Sayer's return to the board comes just days after Dexcom announced a new board member. Last week, the company announced that it added Google SVP, Platforms and Devices, Rick Osterloh, to its board as well. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/kevin-sayer-returns-dexcom-board-chair/ SAN DIEGO - DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXCM) announced the appointment of Rick Osterloh to its Board of Directors, effective today, according to a press release statement. Osterloh serves as Senior Vice President, Platforms & Devices at Google, where he oversees Android, Google Play, Chrome, and Google's hardware portfolio including Pixel phones, Google Nest devices, and Fitbit wearables. He has held this position since 2016. https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/dexcom-appoints-google-executive-rick-osterloh-to-board-93CH-4529662 XX Sequel Med Tech announced broad national availability of its twiist™ Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System powered by Tidepool. After U.S. FDA clearance in 2024 and a controlled launch to optimize the twiist experience, the system is now fully available nationwide. The release says: Built on Sequel's proprietary iiSure™ Technology, the system enables earlier detection of delivery issues, alerting users to blockages up to nine times faster than other AID systems1, potentially reducing the risk of unexplained high glucose and giving you time to take action before experiencing severe high blood sugar or DKA2. Designed to expand access to automated insulin delivery, twiist is available through pharmacy channels with a flexible access model, XX Tandem Diabetes Care's Mobi automated insulin delivery system is now available with Android devices. In November, Tandem announced that it received FDA approval for the Android version of its Mobi mobile app. The pump, which pairs with Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, previously worked with iOS software. At the time of the clearance, it said it would commence a limited rollout before the full launch — now underway — this year. Tandem launched Mobi in the U.S. in February 2024. It initially received FDA clearance for people with diabetes ages six and up in July 2023. The system then received expanded clearance for pediatric indications in April 2024, then later won CE mark in May 2025. Mobi features a 200-unit insulin cartridge and an on-pump button to provide an alternative to phone control for insulin boluses. It comes in at less than half the size of the flagship Tandem pump system, the t:slim X2 pump. Mobi can fit in a coin pocket, clip to clothing or go on the body with an adhesive sleeve. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-diabetes-care-launches-mobi-android/
On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Jay Campbell (@jaycampbell333), health optimization expert, author, and founder of BioLongevity Labs, to explore the powerful intersection of peptides, metabolic health, and fertility. Jay shares how therapeutic peptides like HCG, HMG, and GLP compounds can support male fertility, insulin resistance, and metabolic balance when used correctly. We discuss the rise of GLP-1 medications, why microdosing matters, and how inflammation and visceral fat are major contributors to declining fertility rates. Beyond the physical, we also dive into mindset, consciousness, and how belief systems impact healing and reproductive outcomes. This conversation bridges cutting-edge science with empowered awareness, and offers a new perspective on fertility optimization in the modern world. Key Takeaways: Therapeutic peptides such as HCG and HMG can help stimulate FSH and LH to support male fertility. Chronic inflammation and visceral fat are major drivers of insulin resistance and declining fertility. GLP-1 medications can be helpful tools when microdosed and combined with proper lifestyle habits. Insulin-controlled living and metabolic flexibility are foundational for hormonal balance. Sustainable fat loss requires resistance training, adequate protein intake, and hormonal optimization. Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors contribute to the global fertility decline. Mindset and consciousness play a significant role in healing, longevity, and reproductive success. Guest Bio: Jay Campbell (@jaycampbell333) is a global authority in hormone optimization, peptides, and human longevity, a five-time international bestselling author, and the co-founder of BioLongevity Labs—often called "the Amazon for biohackers." For more than two decades, he has led the field of metabolic health and anti-aging science, helping millions enhance vitality, repair their biology, and take control of their health. Known for cutting through misinformation, Jay translates complex biomedical research into practical, real-world strategies with integrity and no-BS clarity, blending cutting-edge science with a consciousness-driven approach that elevates biology, mindset, identity, and purpose. He is also the author of the upcoming book Metabolic Awakening, which addresses the global misuse of GLP drugs and introduces the first responsible, science-aligned framework for microdosing GLP peptides to support long-term metabolic repair rather than temporary weight loss.

What if inflammation is quietly affecting your fertility? What if the key to improving egg quality and hormonal balance isn't just medical treatment, but the everyday choices you make? And what if understanding your body earlier could change your entire fertility journey? In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine welcomes fertility specialist Dr. Natalie Crawford to explore how inflammation influences reproductive health and what women can do to support fertility from the inside out. Dr. Natalie Crawford is the author of The Fertility Formula, and she is here to share how her own experience with infertility and pregnancy loss shaped her passion for empowering patients with science-based fertility education. Together, she and Dr. Shahine discuss the growing role of chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors in fertility challenges. Dr. Crawford explains why fertility medicine often reacts too late in the process and why understanding hormones, ovarian reserve, and reproductive health earlier can help people advocate for themselves and make informed decisions.

If you're over 40 and doing "everything right" — eating clean, lifting weights, prioritizing sleep — but your metabolism feels slower, hunger feels stronger, and fat loss feels harder… This episode explains why. In this deep-dive rabbit hole, Coach Debbie Potts uncovers the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between bile flow, mitochondrial efficiency, GLP-1 signaling, hormones, and midlife metabolism. Bile acids are not just digestive fluids. They are metabolic signaling molecules that regulate: • GLP-1 and PYY (satiety hormones) • Insulin sensitivity • Fat oxidation • Thyroid receptor expression • Estrogen clearance (the estrobolome) • Microbiome balance • Inflammatory tone • Toxin elimination You'll learn how midlife hormonal shifts — including declining estrogen and testosterone — affect mitochondrial ATP production, bile synthesis, and receptor signaling. When bile signaling weakens, GLP-1 drops, hunger rises, insulin resistance increases, fat oxidation declines, inflammation builds, and metabolism adapts downward. This isn't a willpower problem. It's a signaling problem. High performers often feel this shift first because chronic stress suppresses digestion, weakens vagal tone, reduces stomach acid, impairs gallbladder contraction, and disrupts bile release. In this episode, Debbie connects the dots and explains the midlife cascade: Hormone shift → Mitochondrial decline → Bile signaling weakens → GLP-1 drops → Insulin resistance rises → Fat oxidation slows → Inflammation increases → Thyroid sensitivity declines → Metabolic rate adapts downward. You'll also learn why GLP-1 medications are exploding in popularity — and why restoring upstream physiology may be the more sustainable path. Instead of pushing harder, we sequence smarter. When flow restores, metabolism follows.

Cravings aren't about willpower. They aren't about “just saying no” or forcing myself to resist. In this episode, I break down the three major influences behind cravings — and I show why understanding them is the key to finally ending unwanted eating patterns.Whether you struggle with night-time snacking, sugar binges, or compulsive eating, this episode is for you.1. Psychological & Emotional InfluencesI've learned that my mind creates cravings in ways I often don't notice.I recognize my scarcity mindset — feeling “not enough,” whether that's not thin enough, not fast enough, or not perfect enough.I see how fear and anxiety trigger cravings for comfort and quick energy.I pay attention to the language I use: should, shouldn't, can't — they often reinforce scarcity thinking.Even joyful moments can trigger cravings if I subconsciously feel undeserving or fear that happiness won't last. I use hypnotherapy to bring unconscious patterns into awareness so I can consciously choose differently.2. Hormonal InfluencesI've seen how my hormones drive cravings:Cortisol spikes when my nervous system is in protection mode, increasing cravings for sugar and refined carbs.Insulin stores that blood sugar, creating cycles of hunger and fat storage.Understanding this helps me realize it's biology, not a lack of discipline, that often drives my cravings.3. Habitual & Environmental InfluencesMany cravings come from habits I've trained into my environment:Eating popcorn on the couch while watching Netflix.Always reaching for dessert after meals.When I notice these triggers, I can create new routines that support me without relying on willpower alone.4. My Individual ApproachI know there's no one-size-fits-all solution.Some cravings are mostly emotional, some hormonal, some habitual. I focus on knowing myself, my triggers, and my body so I can make sustainable choices. My Make Peace with Food metabolic blueprint helps me find foods that fuel me and support lasting change.5. Shift Your PerspectiveI focus on behavior as the problem, not the weight. Curiosity replaces judgment. Understanding replaces restriction. Compassion replaces guilt. I remind myself: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is insanity. Change starts by observing patterns, understanding triggers, and making intentional next choices.Work With Sherry:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

"If you don't measure, you're guessing." —Dr. Ron HunninghakeThis episode is a recording from our February 26, 2026, Lunch & Learn at Riordan Clinic in Wichita.Energy that rises and crashes. Mood changes that feel difficult to explain. Sleep that looks fine on paper but never feels fully restorative. Many people are told their labs are normal, yet they still feel off.This Lunch & Learn is designed for individuals who want a clearer understanding of how hormones and metabolism influence daily vitality.In this session, Dr. Ron Hunninghake and Dr. Drew Rose explore how thyroid patterns, adrenal signaling, insulin dynamics, and nutrient status intersect with energy, mood, and long-term wellness. They discuss why a single lab marker may not always tell the full story and how a more comprehensive review can offer additional context when evaluating metabolic patterns.They also review stress physiology, environmental influences, and the importance of tracking trends over time rather than relying on one isolated result. The emphasis throughout the discussion is on thoughtful measurement, collaborative learning, and individualized decision-making.Learn more about Check Your Health | March 2–13, 2026Available at Wichita and Overland Park locationsEpisode Links and ResourcesExplore integrative services at Riordan ClinicBecome a new co-learnerWatch more Real Health Podcast episodesEpisode Chapters00:00 Welcome and event overview01:18 Why hormones and metabolism matter03:42 Looking beyond a single thyroid marker06:15 Adrenal patterns and stress response08:37 Insulin dynamics and energy regulation10:54 Nutrient status and metabolic support13:22 Environmental and lifestyle considerations15:40 Measurement, monitoring, and next stepsDisclaimerThe information contained in this Lunch & Learn recording and the resources mentioned are for educational purposes only.

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
In Part 1 of this powerful two-part conversation, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Wendy Warner to unpack how modern osteoporosis management took shape — and where it may have gone wrong.From the introduction of DEXA scans in the 1990s to the widespread use of bisphosphonates like Fosamax, this episode explores how bone density became the primary focus of care — often without fully understanding long-term consequences.Dr. Warner explains why DEXA scans measure mineral density — not bone strength — and why that distinction matters. The conversation also dives into FRAX scores, medication risks, autoimmune connections, stress hormones, and the functional medicine perspective on bone health.If you've ever felt confused or uneasy about your T-score, this episode will empower you with context.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy DEXA scans measure density — not strengthThe difference between bone mineralization and bone structureHow bisphosphonates were introduced and what we later discoveredWhy “drug holidays” became necessaryThe difference between fracture risk and fracture rateWhat the FRAX score measures and how to calculate your ownWhy autoimmune conditions increase osteoporosis riskHow cortisol stimulates bone breakdownWhy stress, blood sugar instability, and inflammation matter for bone healthWhy bone loss is a whole-body issue — not just a bone issueAction StepsLook beyond your T-score. Ask whether your fracture risk matches your density score.Calculate your FRAX score to better understand 10-year fracture risk.Address chronic stress. Elevated cortisol stimulates osteoclast activity (bone breakdown).Stabilize blood sugar. Insulin resistance and inflammation impact bone remodeling.Evaluate autoimmune conditions if present — they may increase fracture risk.Assess gut health and nutrient absorption. Eating well doesn't always equal absorbing well.Work with a practitioner who looks at root causes, not just scan results.Resources & LinksDebi's website: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healty Bones Program: https://debirobinsonwellness.thrivecart.com/hghb-self-paced-group-program-pp/Join the Community: https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Yoga Therapy MasterClass: https://debirobinson.com/yoga-therapy-for-bones-health-mc/28-Day Stronger Bones Method: https://debirobinson.com/28-day-stronger-bonesmorning-method/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debirobinsonwellness/Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@debirobinsonwellness/

Is progressive Christianity coming for your kids — and would you even recognize it if it was? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Amy Jones and co-host Emma Bortins sit down with author and apologist Alisa Childers to unpack what progressive Christianity actually is, why it appeals to young people, and how Christian homeschool parents can equip their children to stand firm in biblical truth. If you're raising kids in today's cultural climate, this conversation is one you can't afford to miss. Alisa shares her own story of encountering progressive Christianity through a pastor who slowly dismantled core doctrines of the faith, and how that crisis ultimately led her to study apologetics and write Another Gospel. She offers a clear definition of progressive Christianity — not by what it affirms, but by what it denies: substitutionary atonement, the authority of Scripture, the reality of hell, and the exclusivity of Christ. The conversation turns to the younger generation and how moral relativism has become the dominant worldview of Gen Z, making it harder than ever for kids to understand why biblical truth isn't just "your opinion." From there, the hosts dig into practical parenting strategies: why it's not enough to shelter kids, why you should actually show them progressive content and work through it together, and how modeling confidence in your faith can be more powerful than having a perfect answer. What You'll Learn: - What progressive Christianity is — and the core doctrines it quietly denies - Why young people are so susceptible to progressive theology and deconstruction - How social media (including random TikTok videos) is influencing your kids' faith - Why the definition of "truth" may be the most important conversation you have with your child - A practical, age-by-age strategy for building spiritual resilience at home - How to show your kids progressive Christian content without it rattling their faith - Why holding a biblical sexual ethic feels different for Gen Z than it did for previous generations - The best apologetics resources for parents and students — including Alisa's new student edition 00:00 — Introduction & Welcome 00:29 — Introducing Alisa Childers: Author, Apologist & CCM Artist 02:18 — About Another Gospel & the Student Edition 03:09 — Alisa's Personal Story: How She Encountered Progressive Christianity 06:04 — What Is Progressive Christianity?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Today's episode is a metabolic reality episode because insulin resistance isn't rare and it's not something that suddenly appears out of nowhere. If we zoom out and we look at the landscape of metabolic disease, type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non- alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance sits at the center of all of it. And when we look at the data, close to ninety percent of metabolic disease is driven by lifestyle factors. This means it's how we eat, how we sleep, how we move, how we manage stress, and how sedentary or active we are over time. That makes this an everyday conversation. Insulin resistance shows up in women long before anyone ever uses that language. And most women, they can feel it before they can name it. We'll unpack insulin resistance, how this affects women different than men, insulin signaling, and what we need to do as women to stave off this complex issue.

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

Does aspartame spike insulin? Trigger hunger? Disrupt metabolism? Increase diabetes risk?In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down a comprehensive meta-analysis published in Advances in Nutrition reviewing over 100 human randomized controlled trials on aspartame. The findings challenge many of the common narratives circulating online.You'll learn what actually happens to blood glucose, insulin, appetite hormones, and calorie intake when people consume aspartame—and why the feared “insulin spike without glucose” mechanism doesn't hold up physiologically. Mikki also unpacks concerns around methanol and amino acid breakdown products, and explains why observational studies often drive misleading headlines.If you enjoy a diet drink and worry it's sabotaging your fat loss or metabolic health, this episode offers clarity grounded in human clinical data—not fear-based speculation.HighlightsWhy aspartame does not trigger insulin spikes in human trialsWhat the research shows about hunger, appetite hormones, and calorie intakeThe difference between observational studies and randomized controlled trialsMethanol, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid: dose, context, and perspectiveWhether diet drinks interfere with weight loss or metabolic flexibility Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
In this episode, Ben exposes the metabolic truth about “100% fruit juice” and why it behaves more like liquid sugar than real fruit.
Dr. Jason Fung joins Jorge Cruise to break down why midlife belly fat isn't a “calories problem.” It's a hunger + hormones problem. You'll learn how insulin drives weight gain, how time-restricted eating can work (especially for midlife women), the biggest fasting mistakes, and how to think about GLP-1 meds as a tool (with pros/cons). We also dig into conditioned hunger, social eating, thyroid concerns, and why protein + healthy fats matter when you're trying to control hunger for the long term.Chapters 00:00 Welcome Back and New Beginnings04:42 Understanding Midlife Changes10:14 The Journey to Time-Restricted Eating24:44 Hormones and Weight Management38:32 Navigating Midlife for Women49:01 Understanding Diet: The Role of Protein and Healthy Fats52:15 The Impact of Processed Foods and Insulin on Weight Gain55:36 Midlife Women and Intermittent Fasting: Common Mistakes01:00:58 The Psychology of Eating: Conditioned Hunger and Social Influences01:03:23 Addressing Thyroid Issues and Pre-Diabetes in Weight Management01:06:24 Navigating GLP-1 Injections: A Tool for Weight Loss01:20:45 The Importance of Managing Hunger Over Calories01:29:03 The Hunger Code: Insights from the New BookLinks + ResourcesJorge Cruisehttps://www.jorgecruise.com/https://www.youtube.com/@jorgecruiseDr. Jason Funghttps://www.thefastingmethod.com/https://www.youtube.com/@DrJasonFungFREE Primal Kitchen Mayo ($12 value) with $30+ purchasehttps://www.PrimalKitchen.com/jorgecruise80% off – Jorge Cruise Coaching Club (First 100 Founders)Mondays 5PM PT on Google Meet + Early Copy of "Zero Hunger Plan"https://www.JorgeCruise.com10% off – Aeira Chicken Bone Broth Powder12g Protein.

Most people unknowingly sabotage their metabolism and liver health first thing in the morning. In this episode, Ben explains why common “healthy” breakfasts spike insulin, shut down fat burning, and block liver repair before the day even begins. You'll learn what actually happens in your body overnight, why morning insulin sensitivity is so fragile, and how sugary or carb-heavy breakfasts lock you into fat storage mode all day long. Ben breaks down the hidden sugar content in foods like smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and juice, and explains why this is a timing issue, not a willpower issue. Ben also shares a simple liver-reset morning protocol, including when to delay breakfast, when to eat, and what to eat to support fat burning, stable energy, and better labs. He answers common questions about fasting, muscle loss, women's hormones, smoothies, and why traditional breakfast advice is outdated. If you struggle with stubborn belly fat, morning brain fog, energy crashes, or worsening labs despite “doing everything right,” this episode will change how you think about breakfast forever.
STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
