Picture two plates. One has leafy greens, colorful vegetables, berries, salmon, whole grains, olive oil, and water. The other has a big steak, butter, and whole milk.Both reflect official government dietary recommendations. But here's the twist: one plate represents what Canada, Sweden, Germany, China, the Netherlands, and India all basically agree on. The other comes from just one country—a country that looked at the same nutrition science and went in a completely different direction.Which country? And why?In Part 3 of our Dietary Guidelines series, Amy takes you on a global tour to uncover why the new U.S. food pyramid is a stark outlier from international consensus. She reveals what happened to the 400-page scientific report from 20 independent researchers—and why industry groups are celebrating while scientists are raising concerns.You'll discover:Why the food pyramid was retired 15 years ago—and why it's suddenly backWhat Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries actually recommendWhy China and India's guidelines look nothing like the new U.S. pyramidHow Canada created a science-based guide that aligns with the MIND diet for brain healthThe specific foods that can reduce Alzheimer's risk by up to 53%Plus, Amy shares her free printable MIND Diet wallet card and gives you three actionable steps to put this episode into practice.If you've been confused by the new dietary guidelines, this episode will give you clarity—and a clear path forward for your brain health.

Being told your labs are “normal” and your cycle is still regular does not mean your metabolism and hormones are stable. Early insulin resistance can quietly increase inflammation, drive midsection fat gain, and accelerate skin aging years before menopause is officially diagnosed.In this Biohacking Beauty episode with Dr. Jila Senemar, we break down why regular periods do not rule out perimenopause, why building muscle is one of the most powerful metabolic tools in midlife, and how early testing like DEXA scans can reveal hidden bone loss long before standard guidelines would ever check.Dr. Jila Senemar is a board-certified OB/GYN with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She is a menopause specialist certified by The Menopause Society and a longevity physician. Her clinical work focuses on perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, and midlife women's health.What's Discussed:(02:57) Insulin resistance as an early midlife driver of inflammation and weight gain(03:35) Why more cardio and restriction can worsen midlife metabolic dysfunction(07:27) Regular periods and no hot flashes still align with early perimenopause(09:44) Night waking and unrefreshing sleep as overlooked perimenopause symptoms(15:01) Strength training as a metabolic and hormonal support tool in midlife(24:40) Using DEXA scans at 40 to detect early bone density loss(26:15) Hormone therapy framed around longevity, not just symptom relief(41:14) Progesterone's role in sleep, mood stability, and early perimenopause supportFind more from Young Goose:The Elastin Action Protocol → Engineered for Skin Navigating Elasticity Change The Winter Skin Protocol → Build for How Skin Actually Behaves in Winter VAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment RecoveryUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from Dr. Jila Senemar MD, FACOG, MSCP:Website: https://www.jilamd.comInstagram: @drjilasenemar

Send a textWhat happens when a board-certified orthopedic surgeon steps away from the surgery machine?In this episode, Dr. Joshua Schacter shares why he left a high-volume, surgery-first model to build the Pinnacle Method, a more comprehensive approach to chronic joint pain. His core belief is simple: joint pain is rarely just a joint problem.Dr. Kevin White and Dr. Schacter break down why so many patients continue to struggle after steroid injections, physical therapy, or even surgery. They discuss insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, hormone shifts, and why the joint often acts as a signal for deeper metabolic stress. You will leave with a clearer way to think about arthritis, aging, and what actually drives long-term results.“Your health is worth more than a $20 copay.”This conversation is not about avoiding surgery at all costs. It is about asking better questions before you cut and treating the whole person, not just the X-ray.Learn more about Dr. Joshua Schacter and Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics: www.pinnaclesportsmedicine.comInstagram: @DrJoshuaSchacterYouTube: Pinnacle Integrative OrthopedicsIf you enjoyed this episode, follow The Daily Apple and leave a review.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why dessert isn't the real problem—insulin is. He breaks down the science behind a surprising fat-burning, muscle-building dessert made with hard-boiled eggs and explains how the right nighttime nutrition can actually support fat loss, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce cravings, and enhance overnight recovery. Ben walks through each ingredient in this metabolic mousse, explaining how protein, healthy fats, minerals, and strategic sweetness work together to stabilize blood sugar, calm stress hormones, and keep your metabolism burning while you sleep. He also answers common questions about calories, fasting, insulin resistance, and eating at night. This episode challenges outdated diet myths and offers a practical, biology-based strategy for anyone who struggles with nighttime cravings, stubborn belly fat, or metabolic resistance.

This conversation delves into the intricate relationship between perimenopause, insulin resistance, and the microbiome. Dr. Rebecca Sand discusses how hormonal changes during perimenopause affect insulin sensitivity, fat distribution, and overall health. The importance of dietary adjustments, particularly increasing protein intake and maintaining gut health, is emphasized as a means to manage symptoms and improve well-being during this transitional phase. The discussion also touches on the implications of aging and inflammation on mental health, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to treatment.Music provided by Blue Dot.

"I'm eating exactly the same way I always have, but I'm gaining weight." If this sounds like you, you aren't alone—and you aren't broken. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with registered dietitian Gretchen Spetz to explain why the traditional "calories in, calories out" model fails women in perimenopause and menopause.As estradiol declines, our bodies undergo a profound physiological shift. Our basal metabolic rate can drop by up to 300 calories, our "fullness" hormones become less sensitive, and our cells become more resistant to insulin. The result? Frustration, fatigue, and the "midsection creep" that seems to happen overnight.Gretchen Spetz is a registered dietitian who specializes in integrative and functional nutrition. She joins the show to provide a "food-first" roadmap to navigating these changes. We move past the grim statistics to focus on the silver lining: the specific tweaks you can make today to outsmart your biology.In this episode, we discuss: The 300-Calorie Gap: Why your metabolic rate shifts and how declining muscle mass is the primary culprit. The Satiety Struggle: Why you might feel hungry all the time and how to trigger your "fullness" hormones (GLP-1 and CCK) naturally through your diet. Insulin Resistance 101: The "Taxi Cab" analogy for blood sugar and how to avoid the mid-afternoon energy crash. Muscle-Centric Nutrition: Why 30g of protein per meal is the "magic number" for stimulating muscle protein synthesis and protecting your bones. The Fiber "Pick Two" Rule: How to hit your 25g daily fiber goal to lower chronic inflammation and support gut health. Creatine & Supplements: Why creatine is no longer just for bodybuilders and how it can help women with brain fog and strength. The "Soil Quality" Reality: How modern farming impacts the nutrients in your vegetables and how to source the best produce.About Our Guest:Gretchen Spetz, MS, RDN, LD, IFNCP, is the founder of The Functional Kitchen. She uses a functional medicine approach to help women in midlife address the root causes of chronic disease and weight management through nutrition and lifestyle.Connect with Gretchen: Website: gretchenspetzrd.com Free Guide: Protein & Fiber First Guide Instagram: @gretchenspetzrd

What if your stubborn weight gain, fatigue, or blood sugar issues aren't just about food or hormones, but the toxins your body has been accumulating for decades? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with detoxification expert Dr. Wendy Myers to explore how heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and everyday exposures may be silently disrupting metabolism, insulin function, and mitochondrial energy. Dr. Myers explains why many people do everything right with diet and exercise yet still struggle with fatigue, weight loss resistance, and metabolic dysfunction. The conversation breaks down how toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, iron, and mercury interfere with insulin signaling, damage cells, and contribute to conditions like pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and chronic fatigue. You'll also learn what real detox actually means, how to test for heavy metals, practical daily detox strategies, and emerging approaches like bioenergetic frequency tools. If you've hit a plateau despite healthy habits, this episode explores a powerful missing piece in metabolic health. Key Topics Covered Why toxins may be a major missing link in weight loss resistance and metabolic dysfunction How heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, iron, lead, and mercury interfere with insulin and energy production The connection between environmental toxins and pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and chronic fatigue Why many people struggle with weight loss even when diet and exercise are optimized Common hidden toxin sources including water, cookware, air, personal care products, and protein powders The best ways to test for heavy metals, including blood, hair mineral analysis, urine testing, and bioenergetic scans Why detox is not a short-term cleanse but a lifelong daily practice Core detox foundations: minerals, binders, antioxidants, and liver support The role of infrared sauna and sweating in removing fat-soluble toxins How toxin storage in fat cells may contribute to stubborn body fat Bioenergetics and frequency-based tools as an emerging approach to supporting healing The impact of chemical sensitivity and how detox may improve tolerance over time Practical lifestyle strategies to support ongoing detox in a toxic environment The role of mindset, gratitude, and positive internal messaging in supporting healing and metabolic function Resources & Links Mentioned Follow Dr. Wendy Myers Website: https://myersdetox.comPodcast: Myers Detox PodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WendyMyers Spooky2: https://www.spooky2.comMorley Robbins (Iron metabolism research):https://therootcauseprotocol.com   Follow Ben Azadi

Weak grip strength is not a normal part of aging. It is often an early warning sign of metabolic dysfunction. In this episode, Ben explains how issues like insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, and mineral depletion can weaken nerve signaling and muscle function, especially in the hands. Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, independence, and overall metabolic health. You'll learn why people can look fit yet still struggle with weak hands, cramping, or fatigue, and how these symptoms often appear years before serious disease. Ben breaks down the four main root causes behind grip weakness and shares a simple daily protocol to restore strength. The episode covers insulin resets, nutrition strategies, mineral support, protein intake, grip training, and the role of creatine in improving strength and muscle signaling. Ben also explains why chronic stress and inflammation accelerate metabolic decline and how gratitude can positively impact metabolism. This episode offers practical, actionable steps you can start today to rebuild grip strength, improve energy, and protect long-term metabolic health.

In this episode of Ageless Future, Cade Archibald challenges the common view of muscle as merely cosmetic or mechanical, revealing instead that skeletal muscle functions as a powerful endocrine organ. He explains how contracting muscle releases signaling molecules called myokines that communicate with the brain, liver, immune system, and fat tissue—regulating metabolism, reducing inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting cognitive health. Cade highlights why muscle is the body's largest glucose “sink,” making resistance training one of the most effective strategies for diabetes prevention and reversal. He also dives into the dangers of sarcopenia, emphasizing that muscle loss is not just weakness but a systemic breakdown that accelerates aging and increases vulnerability across every major body system. The episode closes with practical takeaways on preserving strength, building resilience, and treating muscle as one of the most essential foundations of longevity.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Weight frustration in perimenopause isn't just about vanity—it's about a physiological shift that changes how our bodies handle fuel. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with midlife health expert Ann Konkoly to demystify GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Zepbound), the hidden dangers of visceral fat, and why the scale is often a "shitty measurement" for your actual health.In this episode, we discuss: The "Middle" Mystery: Why the "eat less, move more" mantra fails women in perimenopause and how this transition impacts weight maintenance. GLP-1s Beyond Weight Loss: Ann explains the metabolic benefits of these medications, including reducing neuroinflammation and protecting the heart and kidneys. The Hidden Danger of Visceral Fat: Why a "normal BMI" can be misleading and how internal fat affects your risk for chronic disease. Synergy with MHT: How optimizing cardiovascular health can create a safer "on-ramp" for starting hormone replacement therapy. Preserving Lean Muscle: Strategies for "muscle-centric medicine" to ensure weight loss doesn't come at the expense of your strength and bone density. The HOMA-IR Hack: A simple way to use fasting glucose and insulin levels to see if insulin resistance is your primary roadblock. Planning for your later years: Why the choices you make in your 40s and 50s determine your mobility and independence in your 80s and 90s.The "Proactive Midlife" Lab ChecklistAnn suggests asking your provider for these specific markers to get a true picture of your metabolic health: Fasting Insulin & Fasting Glucose (to calculate your HOMA-IR score). Lipid Panel (focusing on Triglycerides). Lipoprotein(a) & hs-CRP (markers of inflammation and genetic heart risk). Body Composition Analysis (to track muscle mass vs. visceral fat).About Ann:Ann Konkoly is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse Midwife, and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee is not normal, even if it only happens once. This episode reveals why nighttime urination is an early metabolic warning sign, not a bladder or prostate issue. Ben explains how insulin resistance, blood sugar spikes, cortisol, and disrupted hormones interfere with deep sleep, fat burning, and brain detoxification. When sleep is interrupted, belly fat increases, hormones fall out of balance, and the brain's nighttime cleaning process shuts down. You'll learn the five main metabolic causes behind nighttime urination, including late-night eating, alcohol, electrolyte imbalance, high cortisol, and fluid shifts in the body. Ben also shares simple changes you can start tonight to sleep through the night again. This episode breaks down why most doctors miss this signal, how insulin resistance can exist years before diabetes, and how fixing metabolic signals can restore sleep, energy, fat loss, and long-term health. If you're waking up to pee, feeling wired but tired, or struggling with stubborn belly fat, this episode could change everything.

Blood sugar issues are not caused by sugar alone. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how mineral deficiencies are a hidden driver behind insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. You'll learn the five essential minerals your body needs to regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support long-term metabolic health. This episode breaks down why medication-focused approaches often miss the root cause and how restoring mineral balance can lead to better glucose control, energy, cravings, and fat loss. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy blood sugar problems are more about mineral deficiency than carbohydratesHow insulin signaling depends on proper mineral availabilityThe connection between gut health and blood sugar spikesWhy modern soil depletion contributes to widespread mineral deficienciesHow minerals act as the communication system of metabolism The 5 Minerals That Help Lower Blood Sugar Fulvic AcidSupports mineral absorption at the cellular level. Improves insulin receptor sensitivity, glucose transport into muscles, pancreatic health, and mitochondrial energy production. Humic AcidSupports gut health by reducing inflammation, improving microbiome balance, and slowing carbohydrate absorption to flatten blood sugar spikes. Trace MineralsChromium, zinc, selenium, and manganese help activate insulin signaling pathways, support insulin production, and reduce insulin resistance. MagnesiumOne of the most commonly deficient minerals in people with insulin resistance. Supports insulin sensitivity, lowers cortisol, reduces cravings, and stabilizes blood sugar. PotassiumAn insulin-sparing electrolyte that improves glucose storage in muscles, balances sodium, lowers cortisol, and reduces insulin overproduction.

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals how insulin resistance can exist long before it appears on standard blood work and how the body shows clear warning signs that most people overlook. Ben explains that insulin resistance is not caused by laziness or lack of discipline. It is a biological response to years of metabolic stress, often hiding in plain sight even in people who eat clean, exercise, and appear healthy. You'll learn the five silent physical signs of insulin resistance, including dark skin patches, skin tags, stubborn belly fat, water retention, and cold or numb extremities. These visible signals often show up years before glucose or A1c levels become abnormal. The episode breaks down what insulin really does in the body, why chronically elevated insulin blocks fat burning, increases inflammation, and damages blood vessels, and why doctors frequently miss insulin resistance by relying only on glucose-based labs. Ben shares real client examples and walks through two simple, science-backed steps to start reversing insulin resistance immediately: eating protein and fat before carbohydrates and using apple cider vinegar correctly to blunt glucose and insulin spikes. This episode also explains why fasting insulin is the most important lab marker to request, how skinny individuals can still have dangerous visceral fat, and why insulin resistance is reversible when the right signals are restored. If you are dealing with stubborn belly fat, fatigue, inflammation, or unexplained health issues, this episode provides clarity, empowerment, and practical tools to take control of your metabolic health naturally.

Yes, we talk about why millennials feel the need to add “lol” to everything—but we also get serious about midlife health.

“Yo-yo dieting, restrictive diets, and cutting out whole food groups is worsening insulin resistance more than carbs ever could.”Carbs have been painted as the villain for far too long, and diet culture has convinced many of us that avoiding them is the key to health and happiness. But what really happens to your body and blood sugar when you restrict carbs may surprise you.In this episode, I'm joined by Kristie Messerli, registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist. We unpack the fear around carbs, diabetes, insulin resistance, and CGMs, and explain why restriction creates more stress, guilt, and metabolic harm. We also share science-backed ways to support both your health and your relationship with food.What You'll Learn:How restriction and yo-yo dieting actually make insulin resistance worse, and how lifelong dieting can backfire metabolicallyWhy eating sugar does not cause diabetes, and what actually contributes to diabetes developmentThe pros and cons of using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and when they're helpful versus harmfulWhy blood sugar spikes are often misunderstood, and how hormones, stress, and sleep play a roleHow to add to your plate (not take away!) for better blood sugar regulation and more satisfying mealsPractical ways to rethink carbs and food neutrality to promote both your health and your relationship with eating

I unpack the nuanced relationship between weight, metabolism, and fertility, drawing from research, clinical insight, and my work with clients, with a particular focus on PCOS, insulin resistance, and newer medical tools like GLP-1 medications. My goal is to move this conversation away from shame and oversimplification and toward clarity, empowerment, and true metabolic health.Listen in to hear me share:The connection between BMI and fertility outcomes, and why this doesn't tell the whole storyWhat actually drives fertility challenges, including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and stressHow improving diet, lifestyle, movement, and nervous system regulation can support fertility without obsessing over the number on the scaleWhy weight loss may happen as a side effect of treating the root cause of your fertility challengesMy thoughts on GLP-1 medications and fertility, including when they may be helpful, their limitations, and why habits still matterHow to reframe fertility support around nourishment, metabolic health, and long-term well-being, and why that shift can be so powerful+ so much moreConnect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

Leg weakness, burning when walking, wobbling knees, or foot pain are not signs of aging. They are often early warnings of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, which silently damages muscle, nerves, and circulation long before diabetes is diagnosed. Your legs are meant to be the body's largest blood sugar sponge. When insulin resistance develops, glucose cannot enter muscle cells efficiently, leading to muscle fatigue, inflammation, fat infiltration, nerve damage, and poor circulation. Common warning signs include: Heavy or tired legs while walking Burning or cramping muscles Balance issues and slower gait Difficulty standing from a chair Tingling, numbness, or cold feet Key labs that reveal the problem: Fasting insulin (optimal: 3–6) HbA1c (optimal: 5.2% or lower) Fasting glucose (70–90 mg/dL) Triglycerides under 100 HDL over 60 Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio under 1.5 The 7-step protocol to restore leg strength: Stop eating at least 3 hours before bed Strength train legs twice per week Eat 30–40g of high-quality protein per meal Lower carbs, eliminate snacking, and walk after meals Walk daily to improve circulation Support nerves with sleep, B vitamins, grounding, and red light therapy Prioritize deep, consistent sleep Ben emphasizes that leg strength is metabolic protection, not vanity, and that fixing insulin resistance can rapidly restore strength, balance, and energy.

I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Jason Fung today. We last connected in October 2020 for Episode 121.  Dr. Fung is a nephrologist and a prominent figure in the intermittent fasting and low-carb space. He has made significant contributions as a founding member of The Fasting Method, providing evidence-based guidance on weight loss and blood glucose management through low-carb diets and intermittent fasting. He has written several books, including The Obesity Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, The Diabetes Code, and The Cancer Code.  In our discussion today, we look at the forecast for metabolic health in 2024, exploring how the growth of the diabetes population relates to the effects of the pandemic and addressing the conflict of interest with organizations like the ADA and registered dieticians. Dr. Fung shares some of his biggest frustrations, including the shallow and myopic thinking amongst those focusing on calories in and calories out, and we get into various facets of metabolic health, from the nuanced influences of gender, puberty, perimenopause, and menopause to hedonistic eating, sarcopenia, bio-individuality, and therapeutic fasting. Dr. Fung also shares his perspective on GLP-1s, shiftwork, supplements, and more. Join us for valuable insights on various aspects of metabolic health and how they impact our well-being. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN How the influence of food companies has led dieticians and diabetes associations to focus on moderation instead of a balanced diet Dr. Fung shares his frustration with the lack of progress in addressing the diabetes issue How hormones impact weight gain and hunger Why does focusing on calories in and out not provide the solution to weight loss? How intermittent fasting can help to control hormonal issues How middle-aged women need to find balance when fasting to maintain muscle mass and avoid sarcopenia How intermittent fasting can lead to increased strength despite losing muscle mass  What causes shift workers to gain weight?
