Podcasts about Insulin resistance

Your blood sugar can look perfectly normal for up to 14 years while insulin resistance quietly builds underneath. Dave Asprey and I get into why most doctors never test for it, why the restaurant "tallow fries" you ordered may not be what you think, and what happened to my cholesterol, gut bacteria, and inflammation markers after 90 straight days of carnivore. 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. In 2018, that number was 88%. It's getting worse, not better. And most people won't find out until years after the damage starts, because the test that could catch it early usually isn't ordered. There's no medication for high insulin, so why check? In this conversation, Dave Asprey and I go after the things that keep people stuck as sugar burners: high insulin, seed oils hiding in "healthy" menu items, oxalates in so-called superfoods, and the idea that your metabolism slows down just because you got older. Spoiler: a 6,800-person study says otherwise. What if your labs look fine and you're still years into a metabolic problem? In this episode, I sit down with biohacker Dave Asprey to talk about why so many people are stuck burning sugar, and what it takes to get your metabolic flexibility back. We start with insulin, the marker most doctors skip, and why a fasting insulin over 6 may be a warning sign even when your glucose and A1C look normal. Dave and I also break down why high insulin, not salt, may be what's pushing your blood pressure up. From there, we get into seed oils and why "high smoke point" doesn't mean what most people think. A study on cooking oils found that the oils with the highest smoke points produced the most harmful polar compounds, while one oil most people are told not to cook with produced the least. Dave and I don't fully agree on this one, and that's part of the fun. I also share the results of my 90-day carnivore experiment, including full blood work, stool tests, and a review from a heart surgeon. My total cholesterol went from 300 to 450. What the rest of my markers showed may surprise you. Dave shares his own carnivore experiment, which went very differently, and we talk about where the upper limit should be. Plus: how Dave gave himself gout in three days, why almond flour gave me recurring styes, the right way to think about gut diversity, and why your metabolism isn't fast or slow, it's efficient or inefficient. If you care about insulin resistance, seed oils, keto, carnivore, fasting, gut health, or longevity, this one's for you. About Dave Asprey Dave Asprey is a biohacker, entrepreneur, and host of The Human Upgrade podcast. He founded Bulletproof and wrote The Bulletproof Diet, one of the first major books to bring intermittent fasting and keto to a mainstream audience. He's also the author of Heavily Meditated and the founder of Danger Coffee, and he's involved with Upgrade Labs. After losing 50 pounds in three months on keto, Dave spent the next decade experimenting to lose the last 50. That journey shaped his data-driven approach to metabolic flexibility, longevity, and biohacking. Health Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Somewhere along the way, the internet decided your blood sugar going up after you eat is a problem. It isn't! That's your body doing exactly what it's built to do. Amanda, Joyce, and Morgan break down the confusion around insulin resistance, continuous glucose monitors, and blood sugar spikes. They get into what's actually normal versus what's genuinely dysfunctional, why two healthy people can eat the same meal and get completely different glucose responses, and why chasing a perfectly flat line is both pointless and sometimes a red flag in itself. They talk through the fear-based content that gets rewarded online, why fruit is not the enemy, why insulin is not the enemy, and what actually matters for metabolic health. Plus why a flat glucose curve can be hiding a serious problem, why most people wearing a CGM for fun are getting nothing useful out of it, and the genuinely boring stuff that moves the needle: muscle, movement, sleep, and a walk after you eat.

Traditional biological psychiatry often focuses on downstream neurotransmitters rather than fixing root causes. In this episode, host Zach Gurick sits down with Dr. Matthew Bernstein to explore how brain insulin resistance impacts mental health and cognitive function. They examine why the brain consumes twenty percent of your body's energy and what happens when brain cells can't process glucose effectively. Dr. Matthew Bernstein explains how therapeutic ketogenic diets provide an alternate fuel source that rescues starving neurons while triggering cellular repair. You'll also learn about essential blood tests you can request at your next checkup to catch metabolic issues early.

What labs should women actually be asking for, and what do those numbers really tell you about your health? In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, Dr. Leah Gordon breaks down the key labs she believes women should understand, from blood sugar and fasting insulin to thyroid, iron, inflammation, reproductive hormones, vitamin D and more. She explains what these markers can reveal about metabolic health, fertility, energy, hormones, symptoms and overall health, and why looking at a single lab without the right context can sometimes miss the bigger picture.The conversation also dives into reproductive hormone testing, including estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, AMH, testosterone, SHBG and DHEA, with a major emphasis on understanding where you are in your menstrual cycle when certain labs are drawn. Leah and Morgan discuss why cycle tracking and understanding ovulation can give women important context about their own health, whether they are trying to conceive, trying to avoid pregnancy, navigating postpartum or breastfeeding, or approaching perimenopause.They also cover thyroid markers, ferritin and iron studies, hs-CRP and inflammation, cortisol, vitamin D, ANA, and the importance of considering a partner's semen analysis when trying to conceive. The episode ultimately comes back to one central idea: learning the basics of your own health can help you ask better questions, recognize when something deserves further investigation, and become more informed about what is happening in your body.00:00 Trailer + Introduction03:26 Understanding Women's Health Labs04:58 Why Testing Matters for Women's Health09:29 Blood Sugar, Insulin & Metabolic Health16:34 Thyroid Labs: TSH, T3, T4 & Antibodies23:18 Iron & Ferritin: What Women Should Know29:10 Inflammation & hs-CRP33:59 Why Preconception Lab Testing Matters38:57 Reproductive Hormones & Cycle Timing40:52 Estradiol: When to Test Estrogen42:17 Progesterone: When to Test It45:37 Cycle Tracking & Knowing When You Ovulate49:46 FSH & LH: What They Tell You54:42 AMH & Ovarian Reserve57:54 Testosterone, SHBG & DHEA61:14 Cortisol, Vitamin D & Stress62:38 ANA, Fertility & Partner Testing63:56 Understanding Your Labs & Advocating for Your HealthResources From This Episode:Dr. Leah's Free Fertility Lab Guide - https://drleahgordon.com/fertility-lab-guide-freebieDr. Leah's Free Fertility Masterclass - https://fertilitymasterclass.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Taking Back Fertility Program - https://takebackfertility.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Womanhood Wellness Membership - https://drleahgordon.com/joinHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Cholesterol Beyond the Basics: ApoB, Lp(a), Stress, and Aged Garlic Extract for Cardiovascular Risk: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol, emphasizing that blood tests measure lipoprotein particles and subfractions rather than cholesterol itself. They discuss limitations of relying on surrogate markers, the role of lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, glucose control), and advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), oxidized LDL, and Lp-PLA2, noting that lowering Lp(a) or improving markers doesn't always improve outcomes. LaValle highlights ApoB as a key risk barometer, reviews evidence for aged garlic extract lowering ApoB, slowing coronary artery calcification, regressing vulnerable plaque, and improving vascular function, and supports combining supplements with appropriate medications. They address lean-mass hyper-responders on ketogenic diets, debate broad statin use in seniors, and cover stress/cortisol dysregulation, hormone effects, and appropriate use of GLP-1 drugs for weight and metabolic risk.

We take the keys away from older drivers—why not older doctors? Nearly 3 in 4 Americans battling this health problem—fatigue! What super-agers over 100 have in common—a hyper-vigilant immune system guarding against cancers and infections. How does “anabolic resistance” contribute to frailty—and what to do about it? Recurrent bouts of “burning sensations” on the face—diagnosis please?

If you're a man over 40 and your waist keeps getting bigger, your energy feels unpredictable, or losing fat seems harder than it used to be, you've probably heard someone blame insulin.Maybe you've been told carbs are the problem.Maybe you've been told that every insulin spike instantly shuts down fat burning.Maybe you've been told to eliminate fruit, rice and potatoes, fast longer, or start obsessively tracking your blood sugar.In Episode 205 of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast, Funk Roberts breaks down why insulin itself is not the enemy.The bigger issue is how effectively your body responds to insulin — what we call insulin sensitivity versus insulin resistance.And one of the most powerful tools men over 40 have for supporting metabolic health?Muscle.Not just muscle for looking good in a T-shirt.Funk explains why skeletal muscle plays an important role in glucose uptake, fuel storage, movement, strength and long-term independence — and why building what he calls Metabolic Muscle should become a major priority after 40.In This Episode, You'll Learn:What insulin actually does inside your bodyThe difference between insulin sensitivity and insulin resistanceWhy insulin should not automatically be viewed as a “fat-storage hormone”Why carbohydrates do not automatically make you fatWhy skeletal muscle is so important for glucose metabolismThe connection between abdominal fat, visceral fat and metabolic healthWhy walking after meals can be such a powerful habitWhy sitting all day can work against your health even if you trainHow Funk structures his Meta Test Boost Balance PlateWhy protein, quality complex carbs, healthy fats, vegetables and fruits all matterWhy men over 40 should prioritize resistance trainingWhy sleep and chronic stress can affect insulin sensitivityThe 7 biggest mistakes men make when trying to improve metabolic health

My thyroid labs are "normal," but my hair's falling out, and I'm exhausted. Is this menopause or my thyroid?If that sounds familiar, you're in good company. Andrea Donsky, nutritionist and bestselling author of Nourishing Menopause, has had Hashimoto's for more than 20 years, and once she hit menopause, her thyroid symptoms changed completely. The cold hands and weight gain she'd learned to watch for were replaced by a hoarse voice, fast weight loss, and depression.So she sat down with Dr. Jade Guerra, a chiropractor and family nurse practitioner who has spent decades in functional medicine. They talk about what Hashimoto's actually is, why so many doctors don't check thyroid antibodies, and the kinds of testing Dr. Jade uses to look for what's behind your symptoms. Then they get into blood sugar: why insulin resistance gets more common in menopause, which fruits spike you (watermelon did it to Andrea), and why a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can tell you more than any food list.And if you've ever walked out of an appointment feeling brushed off, Dr. Jade's closing message is for you.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- Why your thyroid symptoms can look different in menopause- What Hashimoto's is and why a thyroid antibody test is worth asking about- How mold and other toxins can sneak into everyday food- Why insulin resistance gets more common after menopause- Which fruits are easier on your blood sugar, and how to get a CGM without a prescription in the USCHAPTERS4:04 Why Doctors Don't Test Thyroid Antibodies7:27 Meet Dr. Jade Guerra + Andrea's Hashimoto's Story After Menopause9:45 Normal Thyroid Labs?

Fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms. So how would you know to ask about it, and what can you do if it shows up on a test?In this short episode, Dr. Taz explains the connection between fatty liver and metabolic health, including insulin resistance, blood sugar, muscle, and everyday habits. She also discusses clues that deserve a closer look, why mildly elevated liver enzymes should be followed up, and practical steps such as reducing sugary drinks, strength training, and walking after meals.Fatigue or belly weight alone cannot tell you whether you have fatty liver. If you have concerns about your liver enzymes or metabolic health, talk with a qualified healthcare provider about which tests and next steps make sense for you.Join The Circle, Dr. Taz's private membership featuring live sessions, practical demonstrations, research discussions, real guidance, and a supportive community.Start your one-month trial at: ➡️ https://holplus.co/circle/ (use the code PODCAST)Learn more about hol+ and schedule an appointment:https://holplus.co/Listen to more episodes of the hol+ podcast:https://holplus.co/podcast/Stay Connected:Dr. Taz: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/Hol+: https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Hol+ Show: https://www.instagram.com/holplushow/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HolPlusShow/podcastsGet your copy of ➡️ The Hormone ShiftProduced by https://ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek) (00:00) - Intro (00:42) - What is Fatty Liver?

How long does it actually take to reverse insulin resistance? Is it 30 days, 90 days, six months—or years? This episode of Optimal Metabolism was originally recorded as an Instagram LIVE, where I answered this question and talked about what it really takes to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. There isn't one universal timeline for reversing insulin resistance, but that doesn't mean you have to wait years to start seeing progress. I break down the symptoms that can tell you your metabolism is moving in the right direction, the lab values that can help you objectively measure progress, and why fasting glucose alone doesn't always tell the whole story. Most importantly, we talk about how much progress you can make in 90 days when you stop jumping from one strategy to another and consistently work on the right things. WHAT I DISCUSS: Why there isn't one timeline for reversing insulin resistance What affects how quickly insulin sensitivity improves Early signs your metabolic health is improving Hunger, cravings, energy, weight, and other symptoms to watch Symptom resolution vs. lab values—how do you actually know you've reversed insulin resistance? Metabolic markers that can help you track your progress Why fasting glucose alone doesn't tell the whole story Why consistency matters more than constantly changing strategies How much progress you can make in 90 days How the COMPASS Reset + FEEL GREAT system can help you put these strategies into action READY TO SEE WHAT CAN CHANGE IN 90 DAYS? My COMPASS Reset starts Wednesday! This is your opportunity to stop guessing and spend the next 90 days consistently working on the foundations that can help you improve your metabolic health and FEEL GREAT.

Dr. Chris Thompson, MD, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Chief of Interventional Gastroenterology at Mass General Brigham in Boston, and Co-Director of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness, is a world-renowned expert on gastroenterology, metabolism, nutrition, and obesity medicine. He explains how your GI tract regulates hunger, fullness, and blood sugar, as well as the gut microbiome, metabolic health, and weight loss. We also discuss common GI tract issues and which particular tests or interventions are actually useful. We discuss both GLP-1 medications and non-GLP-1 approaches to weight loss. Given that gut health is vital to all the organs of the body, overall health, and longevity, our discussion ought to be of interest and practical value to everyone, including, of course, those struggling with gut health or weight loss challenges.

Are carbs actually bad for you, or have we been asking the wrong question? In this episode, I'm sitting down with metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman to unpack one of the most confusing nutrition conversations happening right now.We talk about how to know how many carbs your body can handle, why your muscle mass and activity level matter, how carbohydrate quality changes your metabolic response, and why the answer may be different depending on where a woman is in her hormonal life.Ben also explains what happens to insulin sensitivity across the menstrual cycle and after menopause, why fiber matters, how he thinks about food pairing, what a CGM can tell you, and why his perspective on GLP-1 medications has evolved.In this episode:Are carbs actually bad for you?How many carbohydrates should you eat?Good carbs vs. highly refined carbsWhy fiber changes the conversationWhy muscle gives you more metabolic “wiggle room”Carbohydrates, blood sugar, stress, and sleepCan food naturally stimulate GLP-1?More on Dr. Ben BikmanDr. Ben Bikman is a metabolic scientist and professor whose research focuses on insulin resistance, metabolic health, and the ways nutrition influences human metabolism.

What if your insulin resistance isn't simply because you're eating too many carbs?In this episode, I'm breaking down what may actually be driving insulin resistance, why cutting carbohydrates isn't automatically the right answer for everyone, and how your body's response can depend on factors like meal composition, stress, sleep, muscle mass, and even the time of day you eat.I'll also explain why some people feel better with fewer carbohydrates while others do better with a balanced combination of carbs, protein, and healthy fats, and how your circadian rhythm can directly influence insulin sensitivity.Because if you're only focusing on carbs, you may be missing a much bigger part of the metabolic picture.

What if the keto diet isn't the complete answer to fatty liver?A new study is making waves about keto and fatty liver disease—but there's more to the story than the headline suggests. While ketogenic diets may help with weight loss, blood sugar, and some markers of metabolic health, does that automatically mean keto can fix fatty liver?In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I take a closer look at what the research actually shows and, more importantly, what may be missing from the conversation.If you've been told that “keto fixes fatty liver,” this conversation may change the way you look at the evidence.Listen until the end to understand the bigger picture behind the study—and why one diet strategy may not tell the whole story when it comes to reversing fatty liver.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Accelerated Fast® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-fast-supplement • Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

Today, I'm honored to reconnect with fan favorite, Dr. Tom Dayspring. Dr. Dayspring is a fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association, and is certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology with extensive experience in perimenopause and menopause management. He has been a frequent contributor and educator at Everyday Wellness. In this episode, we discuss labs that help to monitor changes in insulin resistance (specifically the LPIR score), the clinical practice limitations Dr. Dayspring believes stem from a lack of humility, and aspects of women's medical histories that may indicate greater heart disease risk. We examine statin therapy and other treatment modalities, premature menopause and cardiovascular disease risks, Lp(a) as the primary inherited risk factor for heart disease, and current guidelines, treatment goals, and recommendations. Dr. Dayspring also shares his thoughts on estrogen patch shortages and oral estradiol therapy challenges with elevated triglycerides. As always, this is an invaluable conversation with Dr. Tom Dayspring. Stay tuned for an upcoming podcast with Dr. Dayspring, where we'll focus on lipids and brain health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Lipoprotein changes and how they can reveal insulin resistance before fasting insulin or glucose begin to rise Why someone can be insulin resistant while showing normal triglyceride levels The importance of looking at a woman's broader medical history to find potential cardiovascular risk signals Why premature menopause and premature ovarian failure should be taken seriously as cardiovascular and long-term health risk factors How Lp(a) is the most inherited risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease across the population Why women may benefit from repeat Lp(a) testing around the menopausal transition What clinicians may address when Lp(a) is elevated, including other modifiable cardiovascular risk factors Oral estrogen may have a beneficial effect on Lp(a).

Your blood sugar isn't just about sugar — it's tangled up with your gut, your immune system, and how your whole metabolism runs. This episode pulls together three conversations that build on each other, from one guy's simple fix to the bigger picture behind it all — meet your three experts below. Most people with type 2 diabetes are told it's a forever sentence. Chris Reade was one of them. In 2017, his A1C hit 9.1 with zero warning. He refused medication, did the research, and built a food system around the science of soluble fiber. Six months later, his A1C was 5.5. Seven years later, it has never gone back up. Danielle Hamilton is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Restorative Wellness Practitioner who specializes in blood sugar regulation & digestion. She became interested in blood sugar issues when she learned that Insulin Resistance was at the root of her PCOS. She was able to reverse her PCOS, cystic acne, PMS & weight loss resistance by reversing Insulin Resistance. Joel Greene is the very first gut-health protocol teacher, the original biohacker that utilizes the immune system and the family of insulin hormones to create lasting health. Joel has spoken on other top podcasts such as Ben Greenfield's Life and Cynthia Thurlow's Everyday Wellness.  In this episode, you'll hear three experts connect the dots between blood sugar, gut health, and metabolism — starting with one guy's simple fix and ending with the bigger picture behind it all.

What does insulin resistance have to do with weight loss and blood sugar? In this episode of Better Health Now, primary care physician Wes Hoskyns, DO, breaks down insulin resistance, explains what can cause high blood sugar and discusses how weight can affect your overall health. He also shares his perspective on healthy, sustainable approaches to weight loss and ways to improve blood sugar levels.

My labs came back "normal." So why do I feel like I'm falling apart and gaining weight?If you've heard that from your doctor, this one's for you. Andrea sits down with her friend (and her own doctor), Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND, founder and clinical director of Advanced Women's Health. They recorded this with no script, for both of their podcasts, and it shows. They laugh a lot, and they still get into the stuff most doctors skip.Sarah explains why she tests insulin and inflammation, not just FSH and LH, and why you can feel off for years before your labs show perimenopause. She uses a bank account analogy for insulin and fat storage that finally makes it click. Then they talk honestly about GLP-1 medications, what the big weight loss trials actually did, and why food, supplements, and medication don't have to be an either/or choice.Sarah also shares something personal. She used to weigh 100 pounds more than she does now, while eating well and working out, and it took years to find out why.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- Why your labs can look normal when you feel anything but, and what "late reproductive" means- Which blood tests to ask about in perimenopause, including fasting insulin and inflammation markers- How insulin affects where your body stores fat, and why eating less often backfires- What the GLP-1 studies don't put in the headlines- 3 surprising things that can add to perimenopause weight gainCHAPTERS2:00 Why a Doctor Who Won't Budge Is a Red Flag2:31 Meet Dr. Sarah Wilson, ND5:36 "I Don't Know Where to Start" and How Your Feed Shapes What You Know8:06 Normal Labs but You Don't Feel Like Yourself?

On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast Science of Human Performance Series, WHOOP SVP of Research Algorithms and Data, Emily Capodilupo, sits down with WHOOP AVP Medical Director, Dr. Dan Henderson to discuss the key longevity habits to help you boost your healthspan and improve your WHOOP age. Emily and Dr. Henderson break down the difference between lifespan and healthspan, illustrating why decline with age isn't necessarily inevitable. The two break down how everyday choices around sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress, and social connection can compound over time to shape how we age. This episode clarifies the habits with the greatest impact on long-term health, why many popular longevity supplements may offer less benefit than advertised, and how biomarkers and blood testing can uncover hidden opportunities to improve both health and performance. Emily and Dr. Dan explain how WHOOP Advanced Labs and WHOOP Age can help people better understand their individual health and take practical steps today to extend their healthspan to feel better for years to come.(01:25) Healthspan vs. Lifespan(03:03) Is Aging Decline Inevitable?  (04:51) The Habits and Biomarkers For Healthy Aging(08:55) The Lifestyle Choices That Reduce Biological Age(11:10) Does Stress Make You Age? (13:03) Important Health Benefits of Social Connection(14:17) What Supplements Should You Actually Be Taking? (19:30) What Lab Results Can Tell You About How You Age(28:42) Cardiac Health: Preventing Heart Health Risks(28:02) Weight Management and Insulin Resistance(32:00) How Sleep Impacts Aging(39:05) Root Cause Health Issues (And How To Avoid Them)(41:09) How To Lower Your WHOOP Age Support the showFollow WHOOP:Sign up for WHOOP Advanced LabsTrial WHOOP for Freewww.whoop.comInstagramTikTokYouTubeXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will Ahmed:InstagramXLinkedInFollow Kristen Holmes:InstagramLinkedInBuy Aligned by Dr. Kristen Holmes: Follow Emily Capodilupo:LinkedIn 

Does Parkinson's disease actually start in the gut? In this episode, I am joined by Martha Carlin, founder of The BioCollective and BiotiQuest (https://biotiquest.com/), to explore the powerful "hidden link" between the microbiome and Parkinson's. From the discovery of "concrete-like" stool in Parkinson's patients to the role of chronic inflammation and endotoxins, we dive deep into how our digestive health influences brain function. Martha shares her personal journey of seeking answers for her husband's young-onset diagnosis, leading to groundbreaking research on the "gut glycocalyx" and molecules like mannitol. In this episode (watch on YouTube) you'll learn: -Why the "gut-brain axis" is central to understanding Parkinson's progression. -The impact of environmental toxins, antibiotics, and cleaning compounds on our microbes. -How certain bacterial strains can help manage symptoms like severe constipation and anxiety. -The potential of systems-based approaches, including supplementation and lifestyle changes. Parkinson's is a whole-body condition. By looking beyond dopamine and focusing on metabolic health, we can discover new ways to empower our daily lives and maintain our sense of adventure.

In this episode of Wellness You Way, I'm diving into a topic that is incredibly common but still widely misunderstood: what was formerly called PCOS and is now referred to in this episode as PMOS. I'll explain what the name change means, how PMOS is diagnosed, why insulin resistance is such an important piece of the puzzle, and why you can have PMOS at any body size. We'll also talk about the functional nutrition strategies I use to support women with PMOS, including nutrition, blood sugar regulation, strength training, sleep, stress management, targeted supplementation, and more. Before we get into that, I'm also sharing new research on why preserving muscle mass may be much more important for long-term health than simply focusing on the number on the scale.Links mentioned during this episode:PCOS/PMOS blog post: https://www.thelyonsshare.org/2026/09/15/the-root-causes-of-pcos-pmos-insulin-resistance-hormones-how-to-feel-better/Body Composition and Mortality study: https://www.ifm.org/articles/body-composition-mortality-risk-and-the-impact-of-lifestyleFree Initial Consultation with Dr. Megan: https://p.bttr.to/3a9lfYkJoin our free weekly newsletter: www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thelyonsshareLyons' Share website: www.thelyonsshare.org

Episode SummaryHbA1c turns up on almost every routine blood panel, and in this Monday mini episode Mikki looks at how much it can genuinely tell you. She starts with the physiology — haemoglobin picks up glucose non-enzymatically, red cells live 100 to 120 days, and the result is a weighted average of glucose exposure that leans heavily on the most recent month. That matters more than it first appears, because anything that shortens or lengthens red cell lifespan moves the number without blood glucose changing at all. Iron deficiency, heavy menstrual bleeding, foot strike haemolysis in runners, thalassaemia and sickle trait, recent blood donation and B12 deficiency can each push a result in one direction or the other.From there Mikki works through the research-based critiques: insulin resistance and beta cell decline can precede an abnormal HbA1c by many years, the test is highly specific but only about 50 per cent sensitive against an oral glucose tolerance test, an average conceals the shape of the glucose curve, and both genetics and ordinary measurement noise move the number independently of glucose. She closes on the practical side — where HbA1c does earn its place, why she still thinks a result of 40 or 41 deserves a conversation with your doctor, and which markers are worth reading alongside it.Key TopicsWhat HbA1c actually measures. Glycation is non-enzymatic with no regulatory brake, so it proceeds in proportion to how much glucose is around and how long the cell is exposed. A red cell cannot repair it, making it a passive record of the preceding 8 to 12 weeks.The "three-month average" is weighted, not even. About 50 per cent of the movement toward a new value happens in the first month, which is why a result can shift over six weeks.Falsely low results. Haemolysis of any cause, haemoglobinopathies such as sickle trait and thalassaemia trait, ongoing blood loss, blood donation, recent transfusion, advanced liver disease, and starting iron treatment in someone iron deficient.Falsely high results. Untreated iron deficiency anaemia, B12 and folate deficiency, splenectomy or functional asplenia, and aplastic anaemia.Athletes get it from both directions. Foot strike haemolysis lowers A1c relative to true glucose exposure, while the iron deficiency common in female athletes raises it — and the two distortions can partly cancel out, so the number alone will not tell you which is happening.Correcting iron can drop A1c without any dietary change. Mikki's worked example is a woman going from 42 to 37 mmol/mol once her iron is sorted, and her concern is that the change gets credited to a nutrition intervention she never needed.The cut-offs, in New Zealand and US units. Roughly 30 to 39 mmol/mol normal, 41 mmol/mol pre-diabetes and 50 mmol/mol diabetes locally, against WHO and ADA thresholds of 42 and 48 mmol/mol. Type 2 diabetes throughout, not type 1.HbA1c is a lagging signal. Insulin markers can diverge from controls up to 20 years before diagnosis, and beta cell function is already down around 50 per cent by the time someone meets diagnostic criteria — so a normal HbA1c is compatible with a long stretch of compensated insulin resistance.Specific but not sensitive.

Send us Fan MailIs weight loss really a matter of willpower—or have we misunderstood the biology behind hunger?Bracha Banayan, FNP-BC, joins Joey Pinz to explore the rapidly evolving world of GLP-1 medications, metabolic health, food noise, cravings, and sustainable weight loss. Drawing from her clinical experience and personal journey, Bracha explains why traditional advice to “eat less and try harder” often fails—and why that failure should not be confused with laziness.The conversation moves beyond weight loss into the brain's reward system and the potential relationship between GLP-1s, alcohol, smoking, shopping, and other compulsive behaviors. Bracha also explains why these medications should never become an excuse to ignore strength training, muscle preservation, nutrition, and lasting habit change.The discussion becomes deeply personal as Bracha shares how remedial classes shaped her persistence, why entrepreneurship taught her difficult lessons about leadership, and how leaving Orthodox Judaism led her toward a broader spiritual path. She also reveals how egg freezing changed her relationship with fear, courage, vulnerability, and regret.This is a provocative conversation about biology, personal responsibility, longevity, identity, and what sustainable transformation truly requires.Top Three Highlights

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews returning guest Dr. Anthony Jay (PhD biochemistry; former Mayo Clinic researcher) about his book Sugar Beat: How Sugar, Not Cholesterol, Destroys Arteries and his broader critique of mainstream cardiology. Jay cites a 28,000-person study where insulin resistance had the highest heart-attack hazard ratio (6.4) versus hypertension (2.2), triglycerides (2.1), and LDL (1.38), arguing doctors overemphasize cholesterol while neglecting insulin and HOMA-IR. He claims statins increase arterial calcification and diabetes risk, criticizes organizations like the American Heart Association, and disputes fears around LDL, ApoB, and Lp(a), describing them as fat-transport/oxidation-related. Jay recommends focusing on metabolic health, diet and fasting to promote fat burning and plaque reversal, cautions about processed foods and mislabeled oils, discusses CAC vs CCTA imaging variability, and notes genetic nuances such as iron-related risk and sitosterolemia.— Connect with Dr. Anthony Jaywebsite - https://www.ajconsultingcompany.com/YT - https://www.youtube.com/@dranthonyjay Books:Sugar Beat - https://amzlink.to/az0hIdy8AMV03Estrogeneration:  https://amzlink.to/az0U0rLUAUr8f _________Sponsored By:→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide._________Timestamp:00:00 Insulin Resistance vs LDL01:05 Meet Dr Anthony Jay04:03 Censorship and Free Speech10:14 Seed Oils and Food Fraud14:04 Statins and Calcified Plaque21:53 Sugar Beat Heart Disease Mechanism30:59 Saturated Fat Genes and Lp a40:52 Sleep Stress Insulin Link42:14 Metabolic Flexibility Basics42:55 Genetic High Cholesterol Cases43:40 Oreo Study LDL Trap45:45 Statins Guidelines Corruption51:02 CAC vs CCTA Scans57:04 Labs Genes Wrap Up——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Episode 26-36 Health Advice To A Doctor And A Preacher One of the hardest things in life is knowing when to speak up… and when to stay quiet. Recently I was placed in such a position. I wasn't sure what to do. Ultimately, I chose to speak up. To say something to two really nice guys. One is a doctor and the other a preacher. I told them that I was concerned about their health. Specifically, I was concerned that they both had Insulin Resistance and that, left uncorrected, it would destroy their health and cut short their lives. Fortunately, they were receptive to my words which allowed me to tell them what I thought they should do to reverse their Insulin Resistance. And THAT'S what I share on this episode: The exact advice I gave this doctor and preacher. Advice I sincerely hope they take. Advice I hope YOU take… and then share with a friend.

Welcome! And thank you for listening. In this episode, I sit down with cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia to challenge some of the conventional thinking around heart disease, cholesterol, nutrition, and metabolic health. After becoming morbidly obese and pre-diabetic himself despite being a heart surgeon, Dr. Ovadia began questioning the advice he had been giving patients and ultimately transformed his own health through a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic approach. We discuss why insulin resistance may be a much bigger factor in heart disease than cholesterol alone, the role of inflammation and metabolic health, and why Dr. Ovadia has completely changed his views on dietary fat, meat, and plant-based diets.  Thanks as always for listening.

Once I understood the difference between insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity, everything clicked. Not just about diabetes - about why chronic disease is exploding, why autoimmune conditions are rising, and why the food systems most of us rely on are working against us instead of for us.Graham and I dig into what insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity actually mean, how they affect blood sugar management on a daily basis, and why understanding the difference between the two is one of the most important things any person with T1D can do for their long-term health.From there the conversation shifts into one of our most spirited debates yet - the pursuit of perfection in diabetes. Graham believes striving for perfection breeds confidence and control. I believe it's one of the fastest roads to diabetes burnout. We're both right. And we're both wrong. And the conversation that happens in between is one of the most honest and useful things we've talked about in a long time.

What if your struggle with sugar isn't simply about willpower—but about biology, habits, emotions, and the deeper invitation to care for the body God has given you?In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine sits down with Christine Trimpe, sugar addiction specialist and Christian health coach, for a powerful conversation about breaking free from sugar, improving metabolic health, and inviting faith into the wellness journey.Christine shares her personal transformation from living with morbid obesity to reclaiming her health, energy, and purpose. Her journey wasn't built on perfection or complicated diet rules. It began with understanding what sugar was doing to her body, recognizing the patterns behind cravings, and inviting God into the process.Together, Dana and Christine explore how sugar can influence insulin resistance, appetite, mood, energy, inflammation, and emotional eating. They also discuss why many women struggle with cravings even when they know what they “should” be eating—and why shame and restriction rarely create lasting change.Faith, Food & FreedomOne of Christine's most powerful messages is that health does not have to be pursued alone.By inviting God into her journey, she began seeing wellness differently—not simply as weight loss, but as an opportunity to become physically and spiritually equipped for the purpose she was created to fulfill.As Christine reminds us:“I invited the Lord into my journey.”“Keep it super simple.”“God created you for a purpose.”The goal isn't dietary perfection. It is learning to understand your body, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and make intentional choices that support the life you want to live.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sugar Addiction and Faith-Based Health Coaching02:47 Christine's Personal Journey with Sugar Addiction05:49 Understanding Sugar Addiction and Its Impact on Health08:35 Breaking the Sugar Cycle: Practical Steps and Awareness11:21 Navigating Sugar Alternatives and Their Effects14:22 Recognizing Signs of Insulin Resistance and Health Issues16:59 The Role of Fasting in Managing Sugar Addiction20:04 Setting Boundaries for Health and Wellness22:41 The Ripple Effect of Personal Health on Community25:32 The Importance of Protein and Nutritional Choices28:29 Simplifying the Journey to Health and Wellness31:22 Final Thoughts and Encouragement for ListenersReady to Better Understand Your Body?If you're struggling with cravings, blood sugar changes, weight resistance, hormone shifts, digestion, breast health, metabolism, or simply feel like your body isn't responding the way it once did, you don't have to keep guessing.For support with hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, and whole-body wellness, visit DanaIrvine.com and book a Health Clarity Call.Subscribe to the Wise Divine Women Podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who is ready to stop fighting her body and start understanding it.sugar addiction, sugar cravings, Christian wellness, faith-based health, Christine Trimpe, Christian health coach, women's health, insulin resistance, blood sugar balance, metabolic health, emotional eating, food addiction, fasting for women, intermittent fasting, protein for women,

For decades, "high cholesterol" has been treated as a diagnosis in itself - but Dr. Barrett breaks down why that's outdated thinking. Using advanced lab markers now available through services like Function Health, he walks through five common cholesterol myths: that high cholesterol equals heart disease, that LDL-C tells the whole story, that high HDL is automatically protective, that diet alone drives your LDL levels, and that a normal total cholesterol means low risk. He explains where ApoB, LPA, and insulin resistance fit into a modern cardiovascular risk model - and the three tests he recommends everyone over 30 get checked.. . . Watch the episode on YouTube here!

There are two maps of the same body that almost never get laid on top of each other. One is over a thousand years old and runs up your midline naming energy centers. One is about a hundred years old and runs up the same midline naming glands. In this episode I put them on top of each other, and then I add the peptides. I go center by center, all eight of them, and for each one I give you what the ancient text actually says, what the modern reading says, the gland that lives there, what shows up in women's health at that center, the peptides that run it with honest evidence strength, and then a practice: an affirmation, a meditation, a visualization, and three questions to sit with. I promise you there is not another podcast episode on this. The idea came to me in a meditation.

For decades, Professor Tim Noakes told the world that carbohydrate-loaded muscles were the secret to endurance performance. He built a career on it, wrote a bestselling running manual around it, and trained a generation of athletes to believe it. Then, standing at a podium, he tore the nutrition chapter out of his own book.In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, the South African physiologist traces a personal reckoning that began with an unlikely diagnosis: type 2 diabetes, arrived at while running fifty miles a week and staying lean. He walks through the science that forced him to abandon three decades of orthodoxy, the university battle and courtroom fight that followed his public reversal, and a model of carbohydrate metabolism built on two very different pools of glucose, one that barely matters and one that determines whether an athlete falters.The conversation moves from Cape Town laboratories to Mongolia to a South African courtroom, and lands on a mechanism connecting muscle glycogen, insulin, and the ability to burn fat that most people, including many physicians, were never taught.BIG IDEAHow much glycogen sits in the muscles determines whether insulin stays elevated and the body keeps burning carbohydrate instead of fat, a discovery that overturned decades of sports nutrition dogma and reframed muscle glycogen not as a performance reserve but as a dumping ground for excess blood glucose.Professor Tim Noakes Contact InfoWebsite: https://TheNoakesFoundation.orgBook: The Lore of Running (Complete Update Coming) https://amzn.to/3RUTRsVInterview with Dr. Eric Westman: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1810620/episodes/14766410Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers lays out the exact insulin resistance healing protocol he's used to help thousands of people restore metabolic health, sometimes in as little as a week, and almost always within a few months.   You will learn why late-night eating is one of the biggest hidden drivers of insulin resistance, which nine common cooking oils are quietly wrecking your cell membranes, why "obesogens" hiding in your food, water, and home can stall fat loss no matter how clean you eat, and the exact fasting and eating-window strategy.   Dr. Jockers uses to help clients rebuild their fat-burning machinery. He closes with the one mindset shift that determines whether any of it sticks.

Episode 26-34 Reversing Insulin Resistance (and Diabetes) Without Drugs! On the past two episodes I talked about Insulin Resistance. Specifically, what it is and why it's so harmful to one's health.  (If you haven't already, please give those episodes a listen.) On this episode I talk about what you can do naturally to help prevent and/or reverse Insulin Resistance and its "partner" Type 2 Diabetes. I also share an important "timeline" that lays out the progression of health issues the typical American faces as he/she ages. From simple weight gain to full blown heart disease and/or dementia, the most common ailments in this country follow a predictable timeline. Once you understand this timeline… and the CAUSES behind it… you can begin to take steps to prevent and/or reverse the associated conditions. Steps I lay out on this episode. Give this episode a good listen if you want to prevent, and possibly reverse, Insulin Resistance and the negative health consequences that come with it… including Type 2 Diabetes. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

1 in 4 people have insulin resistance, which quietly raises your risk of heart disease and cancer, often without any change in your blood sugar. And most of those who have it have no idea. It can remain completely hidden for years, with no obvious symptoms and no warning signs… But it can be reversed. Today, Professor Rob Semple, a world-leading expert on insulin resistance, explains what insulin does in your body, why you need it to live, and what happens when it stops working properly.
