Gestational diabetes is one of those topics that every pregnant mama needs to understand way before she ever gets to that 28 week test, whether she thinks it applies to her or not. And I could not be more excited about who I brought in to talk about it today.Bonnie and Karina are midwives in Davis County Utah and two of my favorite people in the birth world. I met them early in my birth work journey and I have never stopped being grateful for it. Bonnie has a background in nutrition and has been in birth work since 2014. Karina has had type one diabetes for over 35 years and lives this every single day. Between the two of them, they know more about gestational diabetes than most providers you will ever sit across from. I have actually told Bonnie that if I ever get pregnant again, I am either flying her out to me or heading to Utah, because these are the women I want in my corner.

Curious whether peptide therapy is the missing piece in your wellness routine, or just another overhyped trend? This episode breaks down what these powerful chemical messengers do in the body, from healing injuries to balancing brain chemistry, cellular energy and more, plus why sourcing and dosing make all the difference.Host Jenn Trepeck sits down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer to explore BPC 157, brain-supporting peptides, and mitochondrial function, while tackling how to use peptides safely, who should avoid them, and why they work best as a tool rather than a magic fix-all.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How peptide therapy acts as a chemical messenger system that supports the body's own healing pathways rather than overriding them✅ Why BPC 157 has become one of the most talked about peptides for tendon repair, gut healing, and recovery✅ How neuroinflammation, not just neurotransmitter imbalance, may be driving anxiety, depression, and brain fog✅ The role of mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity in body composition, energy, and long-term metabolic healthThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Nitric Oxide Explained: Vascular Health, Exercise Performance, and N1o1 with Dr. Nathan Bryan, international Leader in Molecular Medicine, the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He details NO as a ubiquitous messenger affecting blood flow, erectile function, cognition, exercise performance, endothelial dysfunction, and aging-related declines in NO production. Bryan explains why PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra prolong cyclic GMP signaling but don't fix NO deficiency, and why beet products often fail due to variable nitrate content and inadequate dosing. He outlines his NO lozenge approach that generates NO gas from sodium nitrite and magnesium ascorbate, plus a fermented beet powder drink (NOBeets), and emphasizes the role of oral bacteria (and harms of antiseptic mouthwash/fluoride) in nitrate conversion. They review published endpoints, including flow-mediated dilation, blood pressure effects, inflammation markers, triglycerides, stem cells, plaque regression, applications to Alzheimer's, glaucoma/microvascular disease, safety/dosing considerations, risks of arginine supplementation, and a dual-chamber topical NO serum developed from wound-healing experience.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon doesn't think we're over fat. We're under muscled. Skeletal muscle isn't just for lifting. It's your metabolic currency. Your body dispatches glucose through it, burns fat in it, and leans on it when illness or injury strike. The markers everyone defaults to, BMI and body fat percentage, are measuring the wrong thing entirely. More muscle doesn't automatically mean healthier muscle.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Mariya Farooqi | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Diane Brice | | Book Appoinment In Today's Episode What happens when healthcare providers become patients themselves? In this candid conversation, PharmToTable pharmacists Dr. Mariya and Dr. Diane share the personal health challenges that led them into functional and integrative medicine—from insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction to autoimmune disease and postpartum health struggles. Their stories reveal the power of looking beyond symptoms, addressing root causes, and becoming your own health advocate. Key Take Aways Personal health challenges often spark the journey into functional medicine, as both Mariya and Diane discovered through their experiences with unexplained symptoms, weight gain, metabolic changes, and autoimmune disease. Insulin resistance is a foundational driver of chronic disease, with blood sugar dysregulation contributing to weight gain, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, and accelerated aging. Healing requires more than symptom management; while medications have an important place in healthcare, lasting improvement often comes from addressing root causes such as nutrition, stress, sleep, gut health, and lifestyle habits. Functional medicine is a journey, not a quick fix, and meaningful health improvements often require consistency, patience, and sustainable lifestyle changes over time. Patients must become active participants in their care by advocating for themselves, asking questions, tracking progress, and partnering with knowledgeable healthcare providers to improve long-term health outcomes.outcomes.

What if protecting your brain could start with your very next meal?In this episode of Happy & Healthy with Amy, Amy explains why the MIND diet may be one of the most powerful tools you have for supporting brain health and reducing your risk of cognitive decline. Rather than focusing on one “magic” brain food, Amy walks you through how this eating pattern helps create a healthier internal environment for your one and only brain. Using Dr. Dean Sherzai's “Four Horsemen of Alzheimer's” framework, Amy breaks down four core drivers of Alzheimer's progression: glucose dysregulation, lipid dysregulation, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation.

Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance, and Persistent Muscle & Joint Pain: A Functional Medicine Framework: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses perimenopausal musculoskeletal symptoms—new or persistent joint pain, muscle aches, and tendon problems—and highlights a Clinician's Journal article by physical therapist Tara Moore proposing insulin resistance screening in perimenopausal musculoskeletal care. She explains that declining estradiol during the menopausal transition can worsen insulin signaling, increase visceral fat, and reduce insulin sensitivity, affecting skeletal muscle recovery and potentially contributing to tendinopathies and poor or short-lived responses to localized treatments like PT. The framework emphasizes assessing systemic metabolic contributors (e.g., sedentary behavior, high-carbohydrate nutrition patterns, PCOS, central weight gain, stress, sleep disruption) and addressing mediators such as inflammation and impaired glucose utilization. She suggests integrating metabolic risk assessment, sleep and stress strategies, resistance training, and interdisciplinary referrals, arguing that nutrition and supplementation—especially a low-carb approach—may improve recovery and pain outcomes.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling dive deep into what they call the insulin matrix — the idea that chronic disease, weight loss resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are fundamentally insulin problems that develop quietly for years before showing up in labs or on the scale. Inspired by a conversation between Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Ben Bikman, the hosts explain why fasting is uniquely powerful not just for losing weight, but for changing how and where the body stores and releases energy at a cellular level — shrinking overfilled fat cells rather than simply creating a calorie deficit. They break down why a consistently high-insulin environment, even with good food choices, can keep the body locked in fat-storage mode and why stacking more daily "insulin-off hours" through foundational fasting is the most direct lever for restoring metabolic flexibility. The hosts also walk through the key lifestyle multipliers that either amplify or undermine the fasting effect — sleep, movement, food quality, and stress management — and why matching your fasting intensity to your current life load produces better long-term results than white-knuckling aggressive extended fasts. Listeners leave with a clear, trackable one-week action plan focused on morning energy, cravings, and fasting comfort as early signs that the insulin matrix is finally shifting in their favor.

GLP-1 stopped working? Or is your body trying to tell you something deeper?In this episode, Kylie unpacks the REAL reason so many women hit a weight loss plateau while taking Ozempic, Mounjaro, Semaglutide or Tirzepatide… and why the answer is NOT always “eat less” or “increase your dose.”You'll learn: • Why GLP-1 plateaus happen • The hidden danger of losing muscle while dieting • How chronic stress and cortisol can stall fat loss • Why blood sugar regulation matters more than calories alone • The truth about “metabolic damage” • How under-eating protein can slow your progress • Why your nervous system affects the scale more than you think • The biggest mistakes women make when their appetite drops • How to support your metabolism WITHOUT spirallingThis episode is a must-listen for women over 40 who feel frustrated, stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or scared that their body has “stopped responding.”Because your body isn't broken, babe. It's adapting.And once you understand what's really happening beneath the surface… everything changes.

If you're struggling with stubborn weight gain, afternoon energy crashes, 3 a.m. wakeups, sugar cravings, brain fog, mood swings, or hot flashes, insulin resistance may be a bigger factor than you realize. In this episode, I break down why insulin resistance is not just a pre-diabetes issue and how it can quietly impact your hormones for years before it shows up on standard lab work. In this episode, I cover: • Why insulin resistance can explain or worsen many common perimenopause symptoms • The connection between estrogen decline and blood sugar regulation • How muscle mass directly impacts insulin sensitivity and metabolism • Why strength training is more effective than excessive cardio for metabolic health • How cortisol and chronic stress contribute to belly weight, cravings, and sleep disruptions • The most important lab markers to evaluate, including fasting insulin • Why supplements alone rarely solve the problem without addressing underlying hormone imbalances • Practical nutrition strategies to support blood sugar balance and hormone health If this sounds like what you're experiencing, schedule a Strategy Call with my team!

Depression is often treated as a single condition. But two people with the same diagnosis can have completely different underlying causes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm rejoined by Dr. James Greenblatt to explore why depression may be less of a disease and more of a signal that something deeper is going on. We discuss how a root-cause approach can uncover what's driving symptoms and why finding what's beneath them matters. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: Could nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, or gut issues be contributing to symptoms of depression What tests can help uncover the biological factors that may be affecting mood and mental health Why can two people with depression have different root causes—and require different solutions How do blood sugar imbalances, hormone changes, and metabolic health influence the brain What should you know about antidepressants, tapering, and addressing the factors that may affect recovery Hope doesn't come from ignoring symptoms—it comes from understanding them. Sometimes the most important question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What might my body be trying to tell me?" One of the key themes in this conversation is that mental health is deeply connected to what's happening throughout the body. In my Brainshaping Academy, you'll learn how to support the biological systems that shape cognitive, emotional, and mental well-being.

Are your daily habits negatively impacting your hormones and your overall health? And when it comes to hormones, are you focusing on only your sex hormones? It turns out other hormones are running the show! This episode breaks down common hormone dealbreakers and practical steps you can take to avoid them and reclaim your health.On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Robin Nielsen, board-certified integrative nutritionist and founder of Natural Hormone Solution, to unpack the hidden hormone dealbreakers quietly sabotaging your health. From the real role of cortisol rhythm to the truth about cholesterol and sex hormones, xenoestrogens in your face cream, and why your to-do list is wrecking your endocrine system, this conversation is a masterclass in natural hormone balance for women at every stage of life.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why cortisol and insulin are your two most important hormones and how their dysregulation drives symptoms that are often misread as perimenopause or aging.✅ How environmental xenoestrogens found in face creams, shampoos, and household cleaners silently disrupt your estrogen balance and what to do about it.✅ The critical connection between eating for hormone balance, meal timing, and why skipping breakfast and over-exercising are two of the most damaging habits for women's hormonal health.✅ How cholesterol actually serves as the building block for all your steroid hormones, and why lowering it too aggressively may be making your symptoms worse.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Jenkins to discuss how to improve performance, body composition, and long-term health through the lens of aerobic development and metabolic flexibility. Nathan shares his journey from exercise physiology and coaching CrossFit athletes to his new role teaching physiology at the University of Georgia School of Medicine. We discuss why metabolic flexibility is such a powerful framework for understanding everything from biochemistry and exercise performance to metabolic disease. We also dive into interpreting maximal exercise testing data, including VO₂ measurements, EKG analysis, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), along with how different energy systems work together during training and competition. Nathan explains why building an aerobic base is critical for repeated high-intensity performance, how pacing impacts outcomes, and why the ability to "suffer" is actually a trainable skill. To wrap up, we cover practical strategies you can apply right away, including prioritizing protein and carbohydrates, improving sleep quality, and addressing common micronutrient deficiencies through blood work, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3 status.

In today's episode I am joined by my patient, Bev, who shares her experience of reversing insulin resistance. Bev is a retired registered nurse so knows a lot more than the average person about health. When I first met Bev, she was carrying extra weight around the abdominal area and had elevated fasting blood sugar levels. Bev had been an athlete her entire life, and always active in some form. She was never unhealthy or eating a bad diet, but underneath the surface was the underlying issue of insulin resistance. While she was eating lots of healthy foods like vegetables and meat, she was also eating a lot of excess carbs in the form of pasta, bread and sweet foods. Bev was insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, with very high blood pressure, reflux and was extremely intolerant to heat. Since my diagnosis of insulin resistance 2 years ago, Bev's previous health issues have improved significantly or disappeared entirely through eliminating gluten, improving liver function, and losing 16 kg.Visit Dr Cabot website to find out more about Dr Cabot (spoiler alert, she's also a pilot!), to access her Weight Loss Detective Program, podcasts, videos, article and testimonials:https://www.sandracabot.com/Visit Dr Cabot's Australian website for the Cabot Health supplement range, books, health articles, recipes and free downloads:https://www.cabothealth.com.au/Visit Dr Cabot's US website for the Liver Doctor supplement range, books, health articles, recipes and free downloads:https://www.liverdoctor.com/

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common hormonal conditions in women, just got a new, more accurate name: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down what drove this historic rename, what the new name reveals about the condition's actual impact on insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and weight, and what's changed in how PMOS is diagnosed. If you've ever been diagnosed with PCOS, struggled with insulin resistance, weight gain, or hormonal issues, this episode is essential listening.

If you have Hashimoto's and have been told your blood sugar is "borderline" or "fine for now," this conversation will change how you think about it. Inna sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard, a functional medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience in diabetes and insulin resistance, to unpack why blood sugar troubles and thyroid autoimmunity so often travel together. The surprising takeaway is that elevated blood sugar usually isn't a sugar problem at all. It's a signal that something has gone wrong at the level of the cell, and chasing the number alone tends to leave the real issue untouched.Dr. Jason walks through what's actually happening when insulin can no longer do its job, and why the receptors on your cells stop responding in the first place. He explains the role that hidden drivers like infections, mold, heavy metals, chronic inflammation and everyday stress play in keeping the cycle going, and why these overlap so heavily with the same triggers behind Hashimoto's. He and Inna also dig into the lab markers worth paying attention to beyond a basic glucose reading, the optimal ranges he looks for, and the simple ratio already sitting on most standard bloodwork that can flag insulin resistance early.The discussion gets especially practical around carbohydrates, GLP-1 medications, and the idea of cycling rather than relying on any single tool forever. Dr. Jason offers a refreshingly balanced view, neither demonizing carbs nor treating medications as a permanent fix, and shares why restoring true cellular function is what allows so many people to move toward remission. It's an honest, hopeful look at a topic that affects far more people with thyroid issues than most realize, and a reminder that the body is often far more capable of healing than we've been led to believe.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/lowering-blood-sugar-insulin-resistance-hashimotos-dr-jason-shumard/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

If you're listening to this episode, chances are you or someone you love is struggling with a hormonal, inflammatory, reproductive, or chronic pain condition like endometriosis or PCOS/PMOS… I know firsthand how exhausting and frustrating it can be to get proper care, and how much these conditions can impact your life, from pain and fertility struggles, to metabolism issues, bloating, and the impact on your physical and mental health. The good news? Women's health conversations are finally starting to change around conditions that have historically been dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood. In this episode, I'm joined by renowned gynecologist and gynecologic surgeon Dr. Karen Tang to unpack the truth about endometriosis and PCOS (now more accurately named PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This interview is packed with validating, practical, and empowering information that every woman deserves to hear. We dive deep into the symptoms, root causes, inflammation, hormones, fertility struggles, diagnosis delays, treatment options, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions that can actually help women living with these issues. Dr. Tang explains why endometriosis is far more than “bad period pain,” how it can affect the entire body, and why it often takes women an average of 7–11 years to receive a diagnosis. We also cover PCOS/PMOS as a metabolic and hormonal disorder (not just a fertility condition) including insulin resistance, blood sugar dysregulation, and long-term health risks. Dr. Tang is a leader in reproductive health, has taught medical students and residents at institutions like Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, and she reaches millions of viewers on her social media channels where she explains gynaecology, pelvic pain, and reproductive rights. She's the author of It's Not Hysteria, Everything You Need To Know About Your Reproductive Health (But Were Never Told). Tune in to learn about: The signs and symptoms of endometriosis and PCOS/PMOS Why women's pain is so often normalized or dismissed in healthcare The stages and severity of endometriosis Common triggers for endometriosis flare-ups Anti-inflammatory diets, supplements, and lifestyle changes that may help Fertility considerations for women with endometriosis and/or PCOS Why doctors prescribe birth control as a treatment Non-hormonal treatment options that can help address the root cause How to advocate for yourself when doctors dismiss your symptoms Follow Dr. Tang: https://thrivegyn.com/  https://www.instagram.com/karentangmd/?hl=en  Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

In this episode, Erin sits down with double board-certified nurse practitioner and hormone expert Megan del Corral to break down one of the biggest trends in health right now: peptides. They discuss what peptides are, how they work in the body, and why they're gaining attention for metabolism, recovery, hormone balance, energy, inflammation, and healthy aging. Megan also shares her favorite peptides, who may benefit from them, and how personalized care through functional medicine can help address root causes instead of just symptoms. Key Topics: - What peptides actually are and how they work - Why peptides are becoming so popular in wellness and functional medicine - Peptides for metabolism, energy, and recovery - Hormone balance and healthy aging support - Functional medicine vs symptom management - Root-cause approaches to metabolic resistance - Personalized peptide protocols - Women's hormones and peptide therapy - Inflammation, healing, and performance optimization - How patients can work with Vidal Medical Links Mentioned: Website to order: https://vidalshop.com/shop?am_id=Erin_Kerry Megan's Instagram: @megan_delcorrral Podcast: Beyond the White Coat

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

In this episode, Meg Bomley shares her T1D journey from being diagnosed at 18 years old and spending eight years on MDI without a CGM, to becoming someone who feels deeply empowered in her body and her diabetes.Meg first came on the podcast in 2022 after graduating from Risely coaching. At the time, she had just come out of a season of constant lows, burnout, and feeling completely overwhelmed after switching to a pump without the support she needed.Today, she's back as a nationally board certified health coach, and 35 weeks pregnant with type 1 diabetes, one of Risely's top coaches.The majority of this conversation is the reality of navigating pregnancy with T1D: the nausea, insulin resistance, fear of highs, changing carb ratios, and learning to trust yourself in this season.WHAT WE COVER:Why Meg resisted pumps and CGMs for nearly 8 years after diagnosisThe “biggest disaster ever” that happened when she first switched to a pumpWhat finally helped her stop feeling resistant, overwhelmed, and burnt out with diabetesHow coaching helped her uncover mindset blocks that had nothing to do with insulin or carb countingThe first sign Meg noticed that told her her insulin resistance was changing after getting pregnantHow she managed nausea, vomiting, insulin on board, and eating mostly carbs during pregnancyThe difference between taking 5 units for oatmeal pre-pregnancy vs. 16 units during pregnancyWhat it's actually like mentally to watch yourself take “large amounts of insulin” every dayWHAT'S NEXT:

I'm sharing why building muscle has become one of the biggest priorities in my health journey—not just for aesthetics, but for hormonal health, metabolism, longevity, confidence, and mental health.In this episode, I break down how muscle helps improve insulin resistance by giving carbohydrates a place to be stored and used instead of overburdening the liver, and why that matters so much for women's health.Listen in to hear me share:Why building muscle matters for hormones, metabolism, and weight lossHow muscle supports insulin resistance, PCOS symptoms, fertility, and blood sugar balanceThe difference between movement, muscular endurance, and true muscle-buildingWhy lifting close to failure, using heavier weights, and resting properly mattersHow strength training can support confidence, mental health, and healthy agingMy own at-home routine using Peloton split programs, yoga, and mat Pilates+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!

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1928DM Most people have spent years obsessing over what to eat. Dr. Mindy Pelz says that's exactly the wrong question. Your body runs two energy systems. One runs on food. The other only kicks in after 8 to 10 hours without eating. That's the fat-burning, brain-sharpening, hunger-suppressing system. Most people never get there. That's why diets keep failing. You're only working with half the machine. Mindy breaks down how to train into fasting gradually. Trying to jump straight to long fasts is like running a marathon with three weeks of 3-mile runs. Lewis learned that the hard way. She also gives one dead-simple rule for timing meals: eat when it's light out. Once darkness hits and melatonin rises, your body stores what you eat as fat. The suffering at hour 12? That's your body repairing itself. That's the point. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailPCOS has officially been renamed PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — but does the new name actually change the way patients are diagnosed and treated?In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explains why polycystic ovary syndrome was always a misleading name, how PCOS got its name from the historic Stein-Leventhal description, and why the “cysts” in PCOS are usually follicles rather than true ovarian cysts. He breaks down why the new name, PMOS, better reflects the real condition: a lifelong endocrine and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance, androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, diabetes risk, cholesterol, blood pressure, endometrial cancer risk, sleep apnea, fertility, and long-term health.Dr. Amols also discusses whether this name change is a true medical breakthrough or simply a rebranding of PCOS. While the diagnostic criteria have not dramatically changed, the hope is that the new name will push the medical community to stop treating PCOS as only a fertility problem and start managing it as a full-body metabolic disorder.If you have PCOS, PMOS, irregular periods, insulin resistance, elevated testosterone, acne, hirsutism, difficulty losing weight, or fertility concerns, this episode explains what the name change means — and what better care should actually look like.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this research-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a gold-standard meta-analysis comparing the most popular intermittent fasting protocols head-to-head — time-restricted eating, alternate day fasting, and the 5:2 method — against traditional calorie restriction to see which approach actually moves the needle on blood sugar and insulin resistance. The hosts cut through the complexity to deliver a clear takeaway: time-restricted eating consistently wins for improving fasting glucose and A1C, while alternate day fasting is the most powerful tool for directly lowering insulin resistance and fasting insulin levels — the upstream markers that determine whether your body is stuck in fat-storing mode or freed up to burn. They also tackle the real-world gaps the research can't capture — the simplicity, food noise reduction, and decision fatigue relief that make fasting dramatically easier to sustain long-term compared to the slow grind of calorie counting. Listeners will come away knowing exactly how to match the right fasting tool to their current situation, whether the goal is better lab numbers, breaking through stubborn weight loss resistance, or building a flexible lifestyle that doesn't require restarting every Monday. The episode closes with a straightforward reminder that consistency in a foundational fasting window will always outperform an aggressive protocol done halfway — and that fasting wins not by being perfect on paper, but by being livable in real life. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

In today's episode, I'm answering some of the most common metabolic health questions I hear from people who feel frustrated, exhausted, and stuck — even though they're trying to "do everything right." We're diving into the real root causes behind fatty liver, high triglycerides, stubborn weight gain, cravings, blood sugar instability, and rising blood pressure — and why insulin resistance is often at the center of it all. Inside this Q&A Instagram Live, we discuss: ✨ What I would focus on FIRST if someone had fatty liver, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and 50 pounds to lose ✨ Can insulin resistance exist even if your glucose levels look "normal"? ✨ The biggest breakfast mistake I see people making — especially when it comes to blood sugar and cravings ✨ Why nighttime cravings happen (and what they may be telling you about your metabolism) ✨ Whether walking after meals is REALLY as powerful as people claim for blood sugar control ✨ How meal timing, sunlight, sleep, movement, and insulin all work together to influence metabolic health If you've been told to simply "eat less and move more," but your body still feels inflamed, exhausted, and resistant to change, this episode will help you better understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface.

In this deep-dive follow-up episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling flip the metabolic conversation from insulin resistance to insulin sensitivity — explaining what it actually means for your cells to respond efficiently to insulin and why improving that response is the real key to lasting fat loss, stable energy, and long-term health. The hosts break down the four main drivers that quietly erode insulin sensitivity over time — excess visceral fat, poor food choices, chronic stress and sleep deprivation, and sedentary living — and why understanding each one helps listeners stop blaming willpower and start pulling the right levers. They walk through a practical framework for rebuilding insulin sensitivity, covering movement, a protein-forward low-carb nutrition approach, healthy fats and fiber, stress management, and sleep protection — with fasting anchoring the entire strategy as the single most powerful tool for giving the body a break from constant glucose and insulin demands. Listeners will come away with a clear understanding of why early eating windows consistently outperform late-night dinner schedules, and how the compounding effect of small daily choices either accelerates or undermines metabolic flexibility over time. The episode closes with a direct challenge: identify your personal weakest metabolic link from today's conversation and take one concrete action on it today — not tomorrow — because that next right decision is always just one choice away. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.
