Join Patreon to get access to HTMA case studies here!Some of your loudest hormone symptoms are actually mineral problems in disguise.In this episode, I pick up our December mineral series and move from the foundation minerals into the tiny trace players that run the control panel. Minerals like copper, zinc, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium and boron act as cofactors for hormones, thyroid and blood sugar, and they can make or break energy, mood and cycles even when the basics look ok. On paper, a lot of women are told everything looks “normal” while their bodies are clearly not ok. I get into what it feels like when minerals are out of balance, from emotional spikes and wired-tired nights to heavy, painful cycles and those nagging aches that never quite go away. Instead of chasing every new fix, I zoom out to show how your system compensates and what that reveals about where support actually needs to go.This is part 2 of 3 of my Mineral Series. Tune into episodes 12 and 14 to deepen your knowledge.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:32] Why trace minerals act like the body's control panel even when macros look good[03:36] The real reason copper makes symptoms worse when it isn't bioavailable[04:22] The overlooked signs your body isn't tolerating a copper IUD[11:11] How hair testing reveals hidden copper stored in tissues when blood looks normal[12:53] What zinc really does for fertility and thyroid function beyond immunity[13:48] Why zinc backfires when sodium is low and the surprising symptoms that follow[19:19] The connection between gut health, iron overload, and “mystery” fatigue[22:46] How manganese supports joints, blood sugar, and the nervous system in ways most women miss[26:38] The thyroid-protective role of selenium and why depletion hits detox hard[27:41] The way boron helps hormones communicate and why stress quietly drains itRelated Hormone Healing Episodes:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteHow to do mineral testing | EpisodeCalcium deep dive | EpisodeMagnesium deep dive | EpisodeSodium deep dive | EpisodePotassium deep dive | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

"When I was doing keto, a salad would spike my blood glucose. And this is because of the fat. There was so much saturated fat that my glucose tolerance was diminished. I went from keto to the opposite, the most opposite diet you could ever have: a plant-based diet. My insulin requirements started to come down very fast. I got down to an all-time low." Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death. It causes kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and blindness in severe cases. As a person with diabetes, keeping your blood sugar levels within the range recommended by your doctor can be exasperating. That's because many things make your blood sugar levels fluctuate, sometimes unexpectedly. So how does someone with diabetes live a joyful and purposeful life? Let's find out from today's guest, Drew Harrisberg. Drew is an exercise physiologist, diabetes educator, sports scientist, and most importantly – a happy and healthy guy thriving with type 1 diabetes. His background as a health professional and his triumph with managing diabetes has ignited a passion for sharing everything he knows to inspire, empower and enable people to thrive with Diabetes rather than simply live with it. Drew's Daily Dose is his way of empowering people to take control of their health to live a fuller, happier, and healthier life. What we discuss in this episode:  Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes – How do they differ? The leading cause of insulin resistance and how it affects the body Why is it unhealthy to have too much insulin in the body? Drew talks about the time he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and how it impacted his life  How does someone get diabetes, and what is it like living with it? Drew explains how exercise and diet help manage and control diabetes Keto, Paleo, Plant-Based – Which diets are beneficial for people with diabetes, and why Drew opt to stick with the plant-based diet? What does Drew eat on a regular day to support his body's needs as a person with diabetes and an athlete? What are the benefits of intermittent fasting to someone with diabetes? Drew walks us through his Five Pillars of Health and how he lives a joy-filled life. Drew debunks a few Diabetes MYTHS! Why Drew enjoys swimming in cold ocean water using the Wim Hof breathing technique Drew happily talks about his funny talking dog DENNIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQEBtq5fQM There's a lot more in store for Drew as he pursues his passion for singing and songwriting.

In this foundational episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore why fasting insulin may be the most critical yet overlooked health metric for preventing chronic disease and achieving lasting weight loss. They break down insulin's essential roles throughout the body—from brain health and bone growth to muscle building and hormone production—while explaining how insulin resistance silently develops years before diabetes diagnosis. The hosts reveal why standard medical testing focuses on downstream markers like fasting glucose and A1C instead of measuring insulin directly, and they provide practical guidance on how to order your own fasting insulin test for as little as $20. They discuss optimal insulin ranges based on leading researchers, explain the HOMA-IR calculation for assessing insulin resistance, and deliver actionable strategies including time-restricted eating, protein prioritization, zone two exercise, and stress management. This episode empowers you to become your own health advocate by understanding and optimizing this upstream marker that connects to eight of the top ten causes of mortality. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

Berberine is one of the most popular supplements for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting fat loss — but many people are using it incorrectly, stacking it unnecessarily, or taking it when they don't actually need it.   In this episode, I break down:   • What insulin resistance really is and how it affects fat storage • How berberine works like nature's metformin to support blood sugar control • The correct berberine dosage and timing for best results • Berberine phytosome vs HCl (and why bioavailability matters) • The most common berberine mistakes I see with women • When berberine is helpful — and when it's unnecessary • How GLP-1 medications and HRT already increase insulin sensitivity • Why stacking berberine with GLP-1 or HRT can create diminishing returns • How supplement overlap slows progress and wastes money • The 4 supplement category framework (metabolic, foundational, hormonal, gut)   You'll also learn how sleep, walking, strength training, cortisol balance, and an anti-inflammatory diet naturally improve insulin sensitivity — and why personalized supplement plans always outperform generic advice.   This episode is for you if you're: ✔ Struggling with insulin resistance ✔ Using berberine for fat loss ✔ On GLP-1 medications ✔ On hormone replacement therapy ✔ Taking a large supplement stack ✔ Feeling unsure about supplement overlap  

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the five simple but powerful shifts that helped him reverse insulin resistance, drop 80 pounds, fix prediabetes and high blood pressure, and keep the weight off for 18 years — without medication or extreme dieting. These strategies are accessible, low-cost, and rooted in restoring your body's natural fat-burning rhythm. Why snacking (even “healthy” snacks) keeps insulin high and blocks fat-burning How closing your kitchen 3 hours before bed boosts fat-burning hormones The easiest daily habit to lower glucose by 30% instantly Why a 24-hour weekly fast acts as a metabolic reset button How short 20-second sprints dramatically improve insulin sensitivity The true root cause of weight gain — and why you don't have a “weight problem,” but a hormone problem Fat-loss is about timing, not willpower Insulin resistance is reversible with simple behavior shifts Deep sleep is your body's most powerful fat-burning window You don't lose weight to get healthy — you get healthy to lose weight Grab Ben's free 7-day metabolic guide that helps torch cravings and burn fat fast:https://bit.ly/3KoKJJg  What You'll LearnKey TakeawaysFree Resource

That's why you feel like sh*t, crave carbs, have no motivation, and gain weight FAST.   Add in insulin resistance + cortisol dysfunction and boom — the "perfect storm," starring your belly fat instead of George Clooney.  

Dr. Ahmad Ammous completed medical school expecting to heal people. Instead, he found a system designed to keep patients dependent on expensive drugs and procedures. In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, he traces the roots of our broken healthcare system back to 1910's Flexner Report and the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913—showing how centralized financial power shaped modern medicine into a profit-driven enterprise rather than a healing practice.A first-year medical student when he switched to a meat-focused diet, Ammous experienced immediate relief from depression and anxiety that standard care never addressed. This personal transformation led him to question everything: why do patients with rheumatoid arthritis see only 20-30% improvement after 15 years of "standard treatment"? Why are hospitals increasingly chaotic disaster zones? Why can't physicians practice independently anymore?The answers lie in understanding how artificial scarcity in medical education, massive student debt, and inflationary monetary policy have consolidated healthcare into massive institutions dependent on government funding and pharmaceutical company influence. Ammous argues that physicians must become entrepreneurs again, building decentralized practices outside the failing system—and that Bitcoin represents the financial foundation needed to break free from centralized control.He also introduces quantum biology and the role of melanin in cellular energy production, explaining why modern indoor living under artificial light may be contributing to chronic disease. The path forward combines ancestral healing wisdom with modern scientific understanding, practiced in ways that actually serve patients rather than institutional profits.This conversation offers both critique and hope—a roadmap for physicians ready to exit a collapsing system and patients seeking genuine healing rather than symptom management.BIG IDEA"I understood how the medical system doesn't really benefit from getting people healthy—it benefits from keeping them sick and dependent on the system, selling them expensive drugs and surgeries."Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode, we're breaking down what really drives insulin resistance — and spoiler, it's not just about sugar. From light exposure and stress levels to carb timing and nutrient deficiencies, we'll dive into how your daily habits impact blood sugar and metabolism far more than a single food choice.You'll walk away understanding how to work with your body — not against it — to support balanced hormones, energy, and long-term metabolic health.Light & circadian rhythm:How morning sunlight, evening screen limits, and sleep timing affect insulin sensitivity and cortisol balance.Carb timing & balance:Why completely cutting carbs can backfire — and how pairing small portions of whole-food carbs with protein and fiber can actually improve blood sugar control.Stress & cortisol:How chronic stress hormones keep blood sugar elevated (even without eating), and simple tools to regulate your nervous system.Nutrient deficiencies:Key nutrients that support insulin function — like magnesium, chromium, omega-3s, and B vitamins — and how to include them through real food first.Practical takeaways:Simple, sustainable strategies to improve insulin sensitivity: balanced meals, movement after eating, quality sleep, and light exposure habits that support your body's natural rhythm.Podcast on LeptinWork with me 1:1 Favorite tools for blue light blocking (code drhalie) Follow me on social media @drhalieschoffBrands I love

In this insightful discussion, I chat with Dr. Sandeep Gupta, a proponent of integrative medicine and longevity health. We explore the evolving landscape of healthcare, discuss the limitations of the traditional medical system, and delve into the holistic approaches to health that focus on both healthspan and lifespan. What You'll Learn: The Shift to Integrative Medicine: Discover why Dr. Gupta transitioned from traditional pathways to focus on integrative and holistic approaches, driven by personal experiences and the need for a comprehensive view of health. Challenges in Traditional Medicine: Uncover the stigmas associated with holistic health approaches in the conventional medical setting and how these have historically been viewed by the medical community. Medicine 3.0 and Longevity: Understand Dr. Gupta's focus on healthspan and longevity, emphasising quality years of life filled with passion, joy, and meaning over merely extending lifespan. Metabolic Health and Chronic Diseases: Learn about the significance of metabolic health, its impact on major diseases, and how insulin resistance syndrome underpins many health issues. Diet and Longevity: Explore dietary recommendations for longevity, recognising the absence of a one-size-fits-all diet, and the importance of reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates. Muscle Mass and Health: Grasp the crucial role of maintaining muscle mass, its anti-inflammatory benefits, and its significance in preventing sarcopenia and indirectly reducing risks for major health disorders. Key Takeaways: Integrative medicine can offer a more complete approach to health, focusing not only on treating diseases but promoting overall well-being and longer healthspans. Traditional medicine often emphasises treatment of disease over prevention and maintenance of optimal health, a paradigm explored through Medicine 3.0. Metabolic syndrome is a silent precursor to many chronic illnesses, and dietary choices play a crucial role in managing this risk. Muscle health is vital; maintaining muscle mass as we age can prevent systemic issues and chronic disease. A balanced diet rich in diverse, colourful foods can bolster metabolic health and support a robust microbiome. Grounding and nature exposure are gaining recognition for their potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving mental well-being. Resources To delve deeper into integrative health approaches and longevity practices, consider exploring resources and studies on metabolic syndrome, holistic care interventions, and the benefits of nature exposure.

Bipolar disorder and depression affect tens of millions globally, long treated as strictly brain-based illnesses, yet both consistently show high rates of insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances A 2025 Nature Neuroscience study found that pancreatic insulin release and hippocampal activity are linked through a circadian feedback loop. This suggests bipolar mood shifts arise from disrupted metabolism, not brain chemistry alone Earlier research in 2022 showed lithium stabilizes mood partly by restoring insulin signaling, while a clinical trial found metformin improved both insulin sensitivity and psychiatric symptoms in treatment-resistant bipolar depression patients Insulin resistance is extremely widespread, with around 40% of Americans affected, driven by refined sugars, seed oils, stress, sleep loss, and environmental exposures that disrupt the body's natural energy regulation Supporting insulin sensitivity involves stepwise changes, replacing damaged fats and ultraprocessed foods, introducing gut-friendly carbs and fibers gradually, managing stress, improving sleep, and staying active to stabilize both metabolic and mental health

Many challenging medical conditions defy treatment and challenge clinicians to come up with innovative solutions—Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and autoimmune conditions; add now the growing burden of patients with Long Covid and vaccine injury. Dr. Tania Dempsey specializes in treating these complicated chronic disorders. She has embraced and advanced a new paradigm based on addressing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). What is MCAS? How is it differentiated from ordinary allergies, and why are its symptoms so pervasive? What are its causes and triggers? What role for low-histamine diets? Antihistamines? Other novel medications? What nutritional supplements can facilitate its resolution? How does recognition of the contribution of MCAS facilitate treatment of patients suffering from Long Covid and vaccine injuries?

This groundbreaking episode unveils Stanford Professor Michael Snyder's revolutionary research published in Nature Biomedical Engineering revealing that type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance aren't single diseases but four distinct metabolic subtypes requiring personalized fasting and nutrition strategies. The hosts decode how muscle insulin resistance demands early time-restricted eating with 18:6 or OMAD plus resistance training, beta cell dysfunction requires gentle 16:8 fasting while avoiding extended fasts to prevent pancreatic burnout, impaired incretin effect needs pre-meal walking with fermented foods to enhance gut hormone signaling, and liver glucose dysregulation necessitates 30-36 hour fasts weekly to reset hepatic insulin resistance and stop the liver's continuous glucose output. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain why A1C measurements provide almost no insight into underlying mechanisms, with individuals showing normal A1C yet severe insulin resistance while others display pre-diabetic A1C with preserved insulin sensitivity, making traditional one-size-fits-all weight loss recommendations fundamentally flawed. The episode introduces at-home oral glucose tolerance testing to decode personal glucose curves and identify specific pathology, while emphasizing foundational recommendations—early meals, resistance training, post-meal walks, protein prioritization, sleep protection, and stress management—move the needle for most people regardless of subtype, with personalized optimization becoming critical for those stuck despite consistent effort. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

Work 1:1 with Colleen to heal your acne here.What if your acne isn't really about your skin at all?In this episode, I'm joined by Colleen Clesen, an aesthetician with a background in nutrition and dietetics. After struggling with her own breakouts and realizing how limited both dermatology and standard aesthetics training were, she went back to school to fill in the missing piece.
