Episode SummaryA solo Mini-Mikkipedia. Mikki is often asked how to tell whether someone in the women's health space is worth following, and in this episode she answers it by working through two examples of what she thinks has gone wrong: practitioners who build large audiences on free information and then, in her view, monetise their followers' insecurities.The first half is physiology. Mikki takes two specific claims made about fasting — that it preserves muscle through growth hormone, and that it raises GLP-1 enough to make a medication unnecessary — and explains why she thinks both are wrong: the anabolic effect needs IGF-1, which needs protein and energy, and GLP-1 is a nutrient-sensing hormone that responds to food arriving in the gut. She is careful to separate that from where she thinks fasting genuinely earns its place, and to state the version of the GLP-1 claim that can be defended. The second half looks at a collagen supplement marketed for cellulite: what the one cellulite trial actually found, what a 2025 review found once industry-funded trials were separated out, and why she thinks cellulite is the wrong thing to be selling women anything for. She closes with the people she does think are worth following. Mikki is explicit that this is her opinion — "I'm just telling you what I think" — and equally explicit that she is not making a supplement of her own.Key TopicsHow to judge whether someone in the women's health space is worth following, and the pattern Mikki looks for: free information that turns out to be a funnelWhy Mikki fact-checked Fast Like a Girl and concluded the evidence base was mechanistic, preclinical or wrong, and what she has seen in clients who followed the protocolWhere fasting genuinely earns its place — severe insulin resistance, some gut issues, and as a researched adjunct in cancer treatment — and why 12 hours overnight is not really fastingThe growth hormone argument: why an increase in growth hormone without an increase in IGF-1 does not build or protect muscle, and why the reported percentage increases are inflated by a near-zero baselineWhy fasting cannot raise GLP-1, since GLP-1 is secreted by enteroendocrine L-cells in response to protein, fat and fermentable fibre arriving in the gut — and the one version of the claim that can be defendedThe collagen supplement marketed on the back of a story about cellulite, and Mikki's objection to the marketing rather than to collagen itselfWhat the cellulite trial actually found: 105 women, 2.5 g of collagen peptides daily for six months, a 9% reduction in cellulite score at normal BMI and 4% above BMI 25 — and nothing replicating it in the decade sinceThe 2025 review of 23 trials where collagen improved skin hydration, elasticity and wrinkles overall, but showed no effect in the trials without industry fundingWhy Mikki thinks cellulite is the wrong focus altogether, and her answer to the pushback that she talks about women's bodies herselfWho she suggests following instead, and why she has turned down several approaches to make her own supplementChapters00:00 Introduction and Fast Like a Girl03:15 Where fasting is genuinely useful05:33 Growth hormone, IGF-1 and the GLP-1 claim09:46 Mary Claire Haver's cellulite supplement13:20 Collagen, funding and the wrong focus16:55 Who to follow in women's healthGuest / ResourcesGuestNo guest — a solo Mini-Mikkipedia episode.People discussedDr Mindy Pelz — author of the Fast Like a Girl system, discussed critically throughout the first halfDr Mary Claire Haver — discussed in relation to a collagen supplement marketed for celluliteDom D'Agostino — referenced for his research on ketogenic diets and fasting, including fasting as an adjunct to cancer treatmentPeople Mikki recommends followingHailey Babcock — Hailey Happens Fitness, strength training and nutrition for women in midlifeDr Abbie Smith-Ryan — Professor of Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillDr Stacy Sims — exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, known for her work on female athletesJen Kirsch and Holly Nicholson — also named by Mikki as people worth followingStudies and research discussedSchunck M, Zague V, Oesser S, Proksch E.

BMI is a quick, cheap way for doctors to estimate body fat and screen for conditions like heart disease and diabetes. But medicine has long known that BMI is problematic and unnuanced. By using it, groups of people have fallen through the cracks and conditions have been caught late. So, some doctors want to add nuance – to consider race when using BMI. But using race in medicine comes with its own problems. So what's the way forward? To find out, we talk to Katie Wu, a science writer at The Atlantic.Read more of Katie's reporting on BMI and race.Interested in more science health stories?

In this message from Crossroads, the speaker examines Matthew chapter 2 to reveal how the early life of Jesus Christ fulfills Old Testament prophecy with pinpoint accuracy. By examining Jesus' journey as a fugitive in Egypt, a target of Herod's rage, and a despised resident of Nazareth, we see a savior who embraces humility from the very beginning. This systematic fulfillment of scripture demonstrates God's sovereign control even in the face of earthly opposition and wickedness.How does the rejection of Jesus pave the way for our own acceptance? Watch this video to discover how the lowly origins of the Messiah offer hope, encouragement, and a powerful model of humility for your life today.Connect with Crossroads Community Church:Website: https://lifeatcrossroads.orgInstagram:   / crossroadscommunitychurch  Facebook:   / lifeatcrossroads  Give Online:https://lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonlineLicensing Information:CCLI License #2915685CCS WORSHIPcast License #9466Crossroads Community Church holds a CCS WORSHIPcast License, which grants permission to publicly play, perform, and stream musical compositions controlled by ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC in accordance with CCS License Terms and Conditions.

In this special two-part episode of TCBCast featuring John Heath, Justin and John reflect on the life and music of Dolly Parton, yet their main focus is on the discrepancies between the legendary story of Elvis seeking to record "I Will Always Love You"... and history.  Source interviews, articles and books, as well as verifiable facts about how Colonel Parker's music publishing involvement was handled - and subsequently ignored - during the relevant time periods before and after the critical July 1973 Stax sessions, provide corroborating evidence (including from Dolly herself as well as credible accounts within Elvis' circle) that the dramatic story the world has become familiar with and has been repeated endlessly on social media was not as it seems...  ..Yet the true story, and the real song Elvis wanted to record, is also much more revealing about how Elvis and Dolly were deeply connected by their real life experiences of extreme poverty, a strong religious background, their generous spirits, and flashy senses of personal style. This episode is being split into two parts, part 1 focuses on this story, part 2 will be Songs of the Week; as you'll understand by the end, there's simply no tidy way to transition tonally from the closing of this part of episode to the accompanying Songs of the Week, and in fact Justin and John took a short couple minutes break to reset tonally so that they could tackle "Why Me Lord" and "Green Green Grass of Home" with as much enthusiasm as possible. Keep an eye out - those will be in your feed soon! The clip of the Elvis-y vocal interpretation of "I Will Always Love You" featured midway through the show is by Torben Otten.  Some of our most critical sources for this episode include: Alanna Nash's Revelations from the Memphis Mafia, Peter Guralnick's Careless Love and The Colonel & The King, Dolly Parton's Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, Dolly on Dolly edited by Randy Schmidt, Norbert Putnam's Music Lessons: A Musical Memoir, INTERVIEW magazine (1989), Playgirl (August 1978) and Playboy (October 1978) magazine interviews with Dolly Parton, Alan Fortas's Elvis from Memphis to Hollywood, Elvis Information Network's Ask Marty Lacker column, the ASCAP and BMI repertoire websites, and Keith Flynn's website.

Why are bariatric revisions on the rise, and how is single-port robotic technology transforming weight loss surgery? In this episode of Our Sleeved Life Podcast, host Mel (@melunfiltered.vsg) sits down with bariatric and robotic surgeon Dr. Donald Fridley, MD, founder of the Center for Robotic and Metabolic Surgery (CRMS).Dr. Fridley shares why 60% of his surgical practice now consists of revisional bariatric procedures (VSG to Gastric Bypass, SADI-S, and Endobariatrics). He explains the real anatomy behind why gastric sleeves rotate or attach to the abdominal wall over time, breaks down new single-port incision techniques, and provides an honest look at integrating GLP-1 medications into post-op bariatric care while avoiding unsafe medspa trends.SUBSCRIBE for more transparent, expert-led bariatric education and recovery stories!https://www.youtube.com/c/OurSleevedLifePodcast?sub_confirmation=1IN THIS EPISODE:Dr. Fridley and Mel dive into the latest innovations in metabolic surgery and patient care:Rebranding to Center for Robotic and Metabolic Surgery (CRMS): Why Dr. Fridley shifted his practice to reflect 100% robotic metabolic and surgical procedures.Single-Port & Cosmetic Robotic Surgery: Performing complex abdominal surgeries through a tiny 2cm - 1inch Pfannenstiel incision below the waistline, plus proctoring robotic nipple-sparing mastectomies across the country.Endobariatrics & Magnetic Surgery: Repairing dilated bypass connections (pouch-to-intestine) endoscopically with a suture lasso over a balloon to stop dumping syndrome and weight regain without open surgery.The Shared Decision-Making Model: Why a 1hour initial consultation, body composition scanning, and habit analysis matter more than BMI alone when choosing between VSG, Gastric Bypass, SADI-S, or GLP-1s.Why Bariatric Revisions Are Exploding: The shift from Lap-Bands to Sleeves to Bypasses, and how 60% of Dr. Fridley's practice handles chronic reflux, weight regain, and sleeve dilation.The Anatomy of a "Twisted Sleeve": Why seceding lateral stomach attachments causes the sleeve muscle to rotate and adhere to the liver or abdominal wall during healing.GLP-1s in Bariatric Medicine: Why Dr. Fridley brought anti-obesity medications in-house to protect patients from unregulated medspas and compounding scams, plus dosing strategies for post-op bariatric patients.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:Have you experienced reflux or weight regain years after your gastric sleeve?

In this episode of The Turd Nerds, Dr. Ilana Gurevich and Dr. Rebecca Sand sit down with Dr. Allison Siebecker, one of the leading voices in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), to break down some of the most exciting new SIBO research presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW).From emerging treatments for intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) to new ways of making rifaximin more effective, Allison walks us through what may be coming next in SIBO treatment—and what clinicians can potentially use now. The conversation explores a new methane-targeting molecule designed to reduce methane production without killing methanogens, as well as research combining sustained-release N-acetylcysteine (NAC) with rifaximin to improve antibiotic delivery in the small intestine.We also dive into surprising new research examining the relationship between methane and body weight, including evidence suggesting a U-shaped relationship between methane levels and BMI, with higher methane levels seen in both underweight and obese populations.Finally, we take a closer look at new research on the elemental diet. Allison discusses impressive eradication rates for hydrogen SIBO, its effectiveness in methane-positive patients, and emerging evidence that elemental diets may reduce Candida while preserving beneficial small-intestinal commensal organisms.In this episode, we explore:• What's coming next for methane/IMO treatment• A new molecule that may suppress methane production without antibiotics• Why sustained-release NAC may make rifaximin more effective• Whether rifaximin doses could eventually be reduced• The surprising connection between methane and BMI• Why clinical observations sometimes precede published research• New data on elemental diets for SIBO and IBS• Elemental diets, Candida, and the small-intestinal microbiome• When an elemental diet may be worth considering clinicallyWhether you're a clinician treating SIBO every day or someone struggling with recurrent SIBO or IMO, this episode offers a fascinating look at where SIBO research—and treatment—may be headed next.Music provided by Blue Dot.

This sermon from Matthew chapter 2 explores the famous journey of the wise men as they seek the newborn King. Their story highlights the difference between general revelation, seen in the wonders of creation, and special revelation, found directly in the Word of God. As these travelers follow a miraculous star, they demonstrate what it looks like to search for truth with an open heart.How will you respond to the revelation of Jesus Christ in your own life? Watch to discover the three ways people react to God's truth—ranging from hostile rejection and quiet indifference to genuine, life-changing worship.Connect with Crossroads Community Church:Website: https://lifeatcrossroads.orgInstagram:   / crossroadscommunitychurch  Facebook:   / lifeatcrossroads  Give Online:https://lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonlineLicensing Information:CCLI License #2915685CCS WORSHIPcast License #9466Crossroads Community Church holds a CCS WORSHIPcast License, which grants permission to publicly play, perform, and stream musical compositions controlled by ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC in accordance with CCS License Terms and Conditions.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Michele: My mother has myasthenia gravis - can she take a probiotic instead of a PPI. For acid relux       Steve: I have a BMI of 35 and I'm active. I'm 47 years old and need to lose the visceral fat. What's is the easiest way to lose the visceral?       Anonymous: Hi, dr. C.I have a question about low blood pressure.We always hear about high blood pressure but what are all the reasons for low blood pressure and is it also dangerous?I've always had low blood pressure &the last time I had it measured it was 91/64 so the nurse was worried &asked me if I was ok.Is it also connected to heart rate?Oura says my resting heart rate has lowered over the past year, now my baseline is 48 (where the line on the readiness tab is full), sometimes my resting heart rate is 47. It was elevated a year ago &when I asked my doctor, they said around 60 is normal for resting heart rate, so is 47 really too low then? My HRV varies between 30s and 50s, so not very high. I'm contributing it to hot summer temperatures as well, but not sure so I would love your input, thank u       Anonymous: Hello, hope you & your family are doing great! I checked your shows on irish sea moss & what I got from it is that it's not something you would recommend as there are so many other supplements you would suggest before it. My question is, is it in any way damaging considering it contains carrageenan? Is it different if this is natural carrageenan (since it's apparently derived from irish sea moss)? I'm puzzled because you say we should avoid carrageenan but you don't say that about Irish Sea moss & to me it seems like we should avoid it? I read carrageenan can cause intestinal inflammation, digestive discomfort & a weakened gut barrier but in alkaline diet the irish sea moss is everything & is supposed to help heal the gut… so confusing! That's why I'm asking, I really trust your opinion.       Sienna: Hi Dr Cabral - three questions please that seem to have different approaches. (Avoiding Dr. Google) BEST time to take probiotics - does it *actually matter? Depend on the strain? Listened to your podcasts but some refer to on waking (empty stomach) others with food... any general guidance please? Proteolytic Enzymes: 2 "on waking" - empty stomach.. is it ok to combine these with any other "on waking" supplements? Any exceptions? 3. Low Ferritin (21): how long after supplementing could I retest bloods to see any improvements? I know it's not about 1 marker, only Ferritin was LOW. S Iron: 18, S-Transferrin: 2.28, Transferrin Saturation: 31% so the rest "in range"?? does this make a difference? less risk? Iron response has 25mg - would you say that is good dose? thank you!!!

"I don't feel like myself anymore." Dr. Shawn Tassone hears some version of that sentence from women all the time. But what does it actually mean? Is it perimenopause? Low estrogen or progesterone? Testosterone? Thyroid dysfunction? Chronic stress? Burnout? Postpartum changes? A struggling relationship? Loss of identity? Or is it possible that more than one of those things can be true at the same time? In this episode of Confessions of a Male Gynecologist, Dr. Tassone connects three seemingly unrelated conversations — Dolly Parton, the Lindsay Clancy case, and the recent pastor's wife documentary — to explore one much larger issue: What happens when a woman spends years carrying things no one else can see? Women's health is often divided into separate boxes. Hormones go here. Mental health goes there. Libido becomes another problem. Sleep becomes another. Your thyroid gets another doctor. Your relationship is considered completely separate. But the woman experiencing all of those things is still one person. Dr. Tassone breaks down why your hormones do not exist in a vacuum and how chronic stress, relationships, caregiving, motherhood, identity, sleep and hormonal changes can interact. He also explores why perimenopause can become the point where all of these worlds collide. Maybe menopause changed how you feel, but did it create every problem — or did changing hormones, worsening sleep and decreased stress tolerance make an already unsustainable situation harder to tolerate? In This Episode You Will Learn: Why "I don't feel like myself" deserves to be taken seriously How estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid health can affect how women feel Chronic stress, cortisol and what social media gets wrong about "hormone imbalance" Why relationship stress and emotional safety can affect physical and sexual health The invisible mental and logistical load many women carry Why low libido is not always simply a testosterone problem Motherhood, identity loss and postpartum recovery Postpartum depression, anxiety and postpartum psychiatric illness Why postpartum healthcare needs to extend beyond a single six-week visit How caregiving can gradually push a woman's own needs aside Why perimenopause can magnify problems that were already there The overlap between hormones, sleep, metabolic health, stress, mental health and relationships Why normal-looking labs do not automatically mean a woman feels well What holistic women's healthcare should actually mean The questions Dr. Tassone believes we should ask when a woman says she no longer feels like herself The answer isn't that everything is hormones, but it also isn't that your hormones have nothing to do with what you're experiencing. Good medicine should be capable of holding more than one truth at the same time. Your estrogen may be low and your relationship may be affecting your nervous system. Your thyroid may need treatment and you may be profoundly burned out. You may be experiencing postpartum hormonal changes and need specialized mental-health care. Your testosterone may be low and increasing testosterone may not repair emotional intimacy. You are not an estrogen level. You are not a testosterone level. You are not a TSH, BMI or age on a chart. There is a human being attached to those ovaries. And sometimes the better question isn't simply: "What symptoms are you having?" It's: "What have you been carrying?" If you've found yourself saying, "I haven't felt like myself in years," this conversation is for you.

(2:00) Vinnie consulted with a client who was struggling to feel stronger despite 4- and 5-day workouts. (16:15) Recovery between workouts is essential; it is part of the process of building muscle and strength. Vinnie shares advice on how to plan the week and get appropriate recovery between workouts. Exercise is a poor way to lose weight; however, it's a great way to help support longevity by preserving muscle, strengthening bones, and managing insulin resistance. (26:00) Roseburia is an intestinal bacterium, and recent studies claim a correlation between Roseburia and grip strength. (35:45) Study out of Finland: people who drank more coffee had less total and abdominal fat, more muscle, and healthier metabolic markers, even at the same BMI. (51:00) What is TOFA, and what does it allegedly do? (54:00) It is an acronym for "5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid," which may help weight loss without muscle loss. The claim is that it shows more pronounced benefits when used alongside certain GLP-1s. But it has plenty of downsides, too. (56:30) Once again, there is no free lunch in nature. Everything has a cost. Weight loss shouldn't be done with a pill or a substance if we can avoid it because you miss out on the dietary adaptation and learning the right habits.

Dr. Christian Rodriguez joins the show straight from Pennington Biomedical, where he works alongside obesity research legends Eric Ravussin and Steve Heymsfield. He breaks down his new review on metabolically healthy obesity and why the old "zero metabolic syndrome criteria" definitions are so inconsistent. The conversation dives deep into the Lancet Commission's new obesity framework, comparing it to the ACE staging system and picking apart where each one falls short, including the controversial call to leave type 2 diabetes out of the "preclinical" category. Rodriguez also previews his upcoming study on people with a BMI of 60 and above, a group that's rarely studied because researchers aren't sure it's safe. The episode wraps with a candid discussion on GLP-1 stigma and why treating obesity early matters more than chasing a number on the scale. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Các nhà nghiên cứu cho biết, chỉ số BMI ‘bình thường' không nhất thiết cho thấy nguy cơ sức khỏe thấp, đặc biệt khi đi kèm với vòng eo lớn hơn. Nghiên cứu còn cho thấy chỉ số sức khỏe phổ biến, có thể gây hiểu lầm đối với người cao tuổi. Thay vì chỉ sử dụng BMI, họ đề xuất xem xét vòng eo, khối lượng cơ bắp, thành phần cơ thể và sức khỏe tổng thể của một người.BMI bình thường chưa chắc đồng nghĩa với ít rủi ro sức khỏe

They then turn to the midterms to discuss Susan Collins skipping out on a campaign event with JD Vance, Mike Rogers' attempt to distance himself from AIPAC, and Democrats' growing chances to flip Ohio blue. Then, Congressman Seth Moulton talks to Jon about the Massachusetts Senate primary and why he's decided to challenge Senator Ed Markey.

In this episode, we take a different approach to the conversation around GLP-1 medications. Instead of treating them as either the answer to everything or the villain of the fitness industry, we talk about where they may fit, what happens when you come off of them, and the skills you need to maintain your results long term. We break down the misconceptions around BMI and body composition, the idea of “food noise,” and why medication alone cannot replace the skills required to create a sustainable lifestyle. Ultimately, this conversation is about becoming self-sufficient, making informed choices, and building the habits and confidence you need to maintain your results once and for all.We talk about:-Why GLP-1s aren't the villain-The truth about BMI and body composition-Whether GLP-1s really need to be a “lifetime subscription”-The skills that can be missing with GLP-1 use-What “food noise” actually means-Being honest with yourself about your goals and habits-Understanding the maintenance phase-What REAL lifestyle change looks like-Building the skills to maintain your results long termTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:12 the middle ground of GLP-1s9:07 are GLP-1s a “lifetime subscription”?15:53 being honest with yourself20:15 empowering people to make their own choices24:20 understanding the maintenance phase28:01 “I look at a carb and I gain weight.”35:16 the skills you need to haveCONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV:Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzBGet our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

Why a “Normal” BMI May Not Be Healthy After 65 | The Truth About BMI in Older Adults If you're over 65, the BMI chart you've been using your entire life may not tell the whole story. We've all been taught that a “normal” BMI falls between 18.5 and 24.9. But when it comes to older adults, research tells a different story. In fact, a BMI between approximately 23.0 and 29.9 may be associated with better outcomes for many adults over 65. So why does the healthy BMI range appear to shift as we age? In this episode, I break down the research behind BMI in older adults and explain why being classified as “overweight” on a standard BMI chart does not necessarily mean an older adult should lose weight. We discuss the importance of nutritional reserves, muscle mass, frailty, unintentional weight loss, falls, recovery from illness, and why looking at the number on the scale alone can be misleading. Whether you're an older adult, caring for an aging parent, or a dietitian working with older adults, this episode will help you better understand how BMI should be interpreted later in life. If you found this episode helpful, please subscribe and share it with someone who cares for older adults, works in clinical nutrition, or has questions about healthy weight and aging. I'm Michelle Saari, MS, RD, a dietitian specializing in geriatric nutrition and helping dietitians better care for older adults. Here, we talk about the practical side of nutrition, aging, long-term care, and clinical nutrition so you can feel more confident supporting older adults.

One month into the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program, I've learned that getting approved is less complicated once you understand the pathway. But there are several important details that can cause delays if you don't know what to look for. In this episode, I walk you through what I've learned from helping patients navigate the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge during its first month. We cover who qualifies, which medications and formulations are included, when you may need to use Medicare Part D instead, and what your doctor, pharmacy, and you need to do to keep the process moving. I'll also explain why your current BMI may not be the BMI that matters, why the pharmacy claim needs to happen before the prior authorization, and why staying engaged with both your pharmacy and doctor's office can make a difference. And once you actually get your medication, I shift the conversation to what you should be doing to maximize your results, including getting adequate protein, moving your body, strength training, and staying engaged with your medical team. If you're trying to navigate the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program for yourself or a loved one, this episode will help you understand the process and the questions you need to ask. Episode Highlights: ● What the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program is and how it differs from Medicare Part D ● The three main eligibility pathways for the Bridge program ● Why your BMI when you started GLP-1 therapy may matter more than your current BMI ● When certain medical conditions may require you to use the regular Medicare Part D pathway ● Why having eligible Medicare Part D coverage matters ● Which GLP-1 medications and formulations are included in the Bridge program ● Why the correct Zepbound formulation matters ● What your pharmacy needs from your Medicare information ● Why the pharmacy claim needs to happen before the prior authorization ● How to follow up when your prescription seems stuck in the process ● What to focus on once you actually receive your medication ● Why protein, exercise, strength training, and medical follow-up remain important ● What we currently know about what happens when the Bridge program ends   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Matthew 1:1-17 | August 23, 2026 | Pastor Todd SmithThis message kicks off a new study of the Gospel of Matthew. In this introduction, we look at the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1, exploring how God uses average, flawed people to fulfill His perfect promises. We see that Jesus' family tree is full of liars, deceivers, and outcasts, reminding us that our past does not disqualify us from being useful in the kingdom of God.How can your life be repurposed for a greater legacy, regardless of where you came from?

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. By the end of this episode, you will understand how to spot the warning signs and have practical steps you can take to protect yourself. If your last blood test came back "normal," how confident are you that it tells the whole story? Are you overlooking one of the biggest drivers of chronic disease?

After a five-year hiatus, Dan Go returns to break down a sustainable approach to fat loss for busy people who do not have hours to spend in the gym. He explains why identifying the main physiological or psychological bottleneck—such as late-night eating, stress, grazing, or weekend overeating—can matter more than simply handing someone a meal plan. The conversation covers calorie tracking for awareness, protein and fiber for satiety, meal timing, restaurant strategies, preserving muscle with low-volume strength training, FFMI as an alternative to BMI, and a balanced view of GLP-1 medications that considers both their benefits and trade-offs.

HEALTH NEWS   Chamomile Rinse Matches Chlorhexidine in Reducing Plaque and Gum Inflammation, Trial Finds A few minutes of sprinting could make a bigger impact than 90 minutes of moderate running Ultra-processed foods linked to higher prostate cancer risk in men Cinnamon Supplementation Associated With Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol in Review of 21 Meta-Analyses Healthy lifestyle cuts hearing impairment risk by 14%, metabolism is key driver     Chamomile Rinse Matches Chlorhexidine in Reducing Plaque and Gum Inflammation, Trial Finds Western University of Arad (Romania), August 12 2026  (Natural News)   A chamomile herbal rinse reduced plaque buildup and gum inflammation on par with chlorhexidine. Researchers enrolled 175 healthy adults and divided them into five groups: chamomile, sage, ginger, placebo, or chlorhexidine rinses, the report stated.   Over twelve weeks, researchers tracked plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation using standardized dental indexes. Participants rinsed daily with their assigned solution, and measurements were recorded at intervals across the study period.    Chamomile's effect relies on plant compounds including apigenin and chamazulene, which act through anti-inflammatory pathways, while chlorhexidine works through strong antimicrobial action, researchers said. Chamomile flower material contains acylated derivatives of apigenin 7-O-glucoside. Every active rinse, including chamomile, produced significant reductions compared to placebo. Chamomile performed statistically on par with chlorhexidine, the rinse most dentists reach for first.  Chlorhexidine is a prescription-strength antiseptic that dentists consider the gold standard for controlling plaque. Long-term chlorhexidine use commonly causes tooth staining, taste changes, and irritation of soft tissue inside the mouth.   A few minutes of sprinting could make a bigger impact than 90 minutes of moderate running Rockefeller University, August 13 2026 (Eurekalert) Three minutes of sprinting can do something that 90 minutes of moderate exercise apparently cannot: dramatically reshape the molecular contents of the bloodstream. Rockefeller researchers comparing different intensities of exercise found that six sets of 30-second, all-out sprints altered nearly a quarter of the proteins measured immediately afterward. Moderate, continuous cycling for 90 minutes altered fewer than one-quarter of one percent. And while moderate running on a treadmill changed more proteins than cycling, it still altered far fewer than a quick sprint. Sprinting triggered changes in more than 200 metabolites. It also caused an immediate surge of proteins involved in blood-vessel growth, tissue remodeling, and hormonal signaling. Some of these proteins appear to enter the bloodstream through an expedited cell signaling process known as ectodomain shedding—rather than being newly made and secreted, portions of proteins already sitting on the cell surface were cleaved off and rapidly released into circulation. The researchers also found that human fat cells exposed to blood collected after sprinting underwent extensive changes in gene activity, shifting how the cells process fuel, respond to hormones, and sense nutrient availability. Not so with moderate exercise which produced a more modest response. It was not until three hours after completing that exercise that a meaningful wave of the fatty acids and liver-derived proteins that typically appear in response to the demands of endurance exercise were found in the bloodstream.    Ultra-processed foods linked to higher prostate cancer risk in men Florida Atlantic University, August 12 2026 (News-Medical)     Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) account for nearly 60% of adults' and 70% of children's energy intake in the United States.  New research from Florida Atlantic University provides evidence that men with higher consumption of UPFs have increased risks of prostate cancer.  Published in The American Journal of Medicine, the study provides analyses from a large and nationally representative data from 17,024 U.S. men ages 18 and older. Researchers used two 24-hour dietary recalls to calculate the percentage of daily calories participants consumed from UPFs.  Men in the three higher-consumption groups of UPFs had a 29% greater risk of prostate cancer, while those in the two highest-consumption groups had a 30% greater risk, compared to those in the lowest consumption group. After adjustments, the increased risk remained significant, ranging from 24% to 31%. Men with the highest UPF intake alone had a possible 34% higher risk, although the finding did not reach statistical significance, potentially reflecting the smaller number of prostate cancer cases in that group.     Cinnamon Supplementation Associated With Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol in Review of 21 Meta-Analyses Lanzhou University Second Clinical Medical College (China), August 11 2026 (Natural News) A pooled analysis of 21 meta-analyses, including 139 placebo-controlled comparisons, found cinnamon supplementation associated with lower HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure, according to a report published in Frontiers in Nutrition. The report stated that the strongest effects occurred at daily amounts above 1.5 grams, or roughly three-quarters of a teaspoon, for periods of two months or less. Compared with placebo, cinnamon supplementation was tied to a measurable reduction in HbA1c, the blood test doctors use to track blood sugar control over the previous several months, the article stated. Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol also declined, and blood pressure readings improved, according to the analysis. Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes labeled 'true cinnamon,' contains only trace amounts of coumarin, while Cassia cinnamon, the variety commonly found on supermarket shelves, contains higher levels, according to the article. For daily use, experts cited in the report recommend limiting Cassia cinnamon to about one teaspoon or less, with occasional larger amounts considered unlikely to cause harm.   Healthy lifestyle cuts hearing impairment risk by 14%, metabolism is key driver Fudan University (Japan), August 12 2026 (News-Medical)     Hearing impairment ranks as the third largest contributor to global disability among sensory disorders, with prevalence rising across younger and middle-aged populations alongside older adults.  The Fudan University team conducted an analysis of 441,844 UK Biobank participants aged 40 to 69 at baseline, with a median follow-up of 14.22 years. The researchers constructed a comprehensive lifestyle score spanning seven behaviors: smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, sleep duration, sedentary time, social engagement, and dietary supplement use. Over the study period, 20,743 incident cases of hearing impairment were documented.  Participants with an ideal lifestyle had a 14% lower risk of developing hearing impairment than those with a poor lifestyle. Among individual factors, smoking cessation offered the greatest preventive benefit, followed by reduced sedentary time; dietary supplement use showed no protective effect, and social contact frequency was not significantly associated with hearing risk. The study's core insight emerges from its quantitative mediation analysis, which revealed metabolic dysfunction as the dominant biological pathway linking lifestyle to auditory health. Metabolic biomarkers–most notably BMI and HDL-c–mediated approximately 16.5% and 14.0% of the total lifestyle–hearing association respectively. In contrast, each inflammatory marker contributed less than 6% of the effect, playing only a secondary role. 

JJ Cox joins us as we talk through what actually changes when we perform cesarean delivery in patients with morbid obesity, from incision planning to anesthesia risk to the wound that has to heal at home. We share practical tips, review key trials on negative pressure dressings and antibiotics, and focus on decisions that protect both safe delivery and lower wound complications. • panniculus anatomy driving incision choice more than BMI • using ultrasound to find the uterus when landmarks mislead • paniculus retraction treated as an anesthesia maneuver • distance and geometry limiting exposure and delivery technique • planning the wound's postoperative “home” before making the cut • negative pressure wound therapy evidence including the 2020 JAMA trial and skin blistering risk • skin glue vs standard dressings as competing narratives with limited data • closing deep subcutaneous space in layers to reduce dead space • avoiding staples and favoring subcuticular suture based on available evidence • antibiotic prophylaxis realities including azithromycin dose questions and shortage workarounds • extended postoperative antibiotics data shift when azithromycin is already used • OR contamination habits including Yankauer discipline and glove-changing debate • calling for help early and building a short pre-op plan to prevent downstream problems Be sure to check out thinking about obgyn.com for more information.

The internet lost its mind. So Drew and Alex went and got one of the most knowledgeable people in the field — Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum of Barbell Medicine — to actually explain what's going on.What we get into:Are testosterone levels really dropping? The short answer is probably not in the way the internet says. The long answer involves a testing methodology problem — older immunoassay tests read artificially high compared to the more accurate mass spectrometry tests that replaced them around 2000. When you only use mass spec data across 100,000 people and 30 years, there's no decline.

Can ketogenic therapy improve symptoms, cognition, and metabolic health in people living with serious mental illness?In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Dr. Judy Ford, Juliette Kyner (previously Juliette Ward), and Dr. Shebani Sethi about the first-ever randomized controlled trial of a ketogenic diet intervention in individuals living with schizophrenia spectrum disorder or bipolar I disorder with psychotic features.The conversation explores what made this trial possible, from prepared meals and coaching to the structured support that helped participants stay engaged. It also highlights encouraging four-month findings across metabolic health, cognition, depressive symptoms, and both positive and negative psychiatric symptoms.They discuss:Why this trial is an important step for metabolic psychiatryHow participants adhered to a ketogenic diet with structured supportWhat changed in metabolic health markers like BMI, A1C, and HOMA-IRWhy cognitive improvements were especially meaningfulHow positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and depressive symptoms changed over timeWhat family members noticed as participants re-engaged with daily lifeWhy future studies may need to be longer, larger, and more mechanisticThis trial marks an important step for metabolic psychiatry and points to the need for larger, longer, fully controlled studies that can better clarify how ketogenic interventions may affect metabolic, cognitive, and psychiatric outcomes.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!SHOW SUMMARY:Date: August 12th, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS11: E4 - Bubba Westly - Truths, Songs, and Second ChancesSHOW SUMMARY:A song can be “good” for years and still not be ready for the world. Randy Hulsey sits down with Texas country artist Bubba Westly for an honest, boots-on-the-ground conversation about what actually builds a career when you are doing it independently: family roots, long drives, late-night lyric notes, chart pressure, and the humility it takes to keep going when the plan changes.  Bubba performs live in the studio and unpacks the stories behind the music, including “Feel So Good,” a track he wrote years ago and resurrected after audiences kept asking to hear it again. We also talk through his lyric-first songwriting process, how he decides when a song is truly finished, and the business milestones that made it all feel real, like holding his first royalty check and learning how publishing and PROs like BMI work in practice.  The conversation turns deeply personal with “Every Other Weekend,” a vulnerable co-write about parenting, custody, and the emotions that can hit hardest onstage. Bubba also shares how sobriety and faith reshaped his life, why he invites prayer requests online, and how he meets fans at the merch booth after shows to offer encouragement, not just sell merch. If you love Texas country music, country songwriting, independent artists, and behind-the-scenes music industry stories, this one lands with both craft and heart.  Subscribe to Backstage Pass Radio, share this with a friend who loves real artist stories, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMWWW.BROADLEAFGROUP.COMArtist Website:www.bubbawestly.comBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - www.backstagepassradio.com & www.randyhulsey.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@backstagepassradiopodcastCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for the work you do sharing reputable information with the masses. I'm 39 years old, 10kg over ideal BMI weight, and am a beginner runner. I am running at a slower pace (7-8 mins per km), but my heart rate gets up to a max HR of 180 after maybe 5 minutes then stays there until I walk. I have a Garmin smartwatch so know this is in the 'maximum' HR area. My question is: Is that ok? Is it only because we have monitors these days that we worry about generic metrics? I also know the smartwatch algorithms are based on men, so do I need to worry - or not run at all? I feel well when I run and after, but have a family history of heart disease so don't want to do any damage. Appreciate you! Emily from Australia      Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - there seems to be a lot of promotion and recommendations lately for daily electrolytes. You mentioned recently who should/should not take them. What about brands? What should we look for and how often can they be taken? Of course the best option is the natural one you recommend - water with sea salt with lemon or lime. But what about brands to buy for when we're on the go? Thank you so much!       Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do and I'm so grateful to be a part of our IHP community! I had a question for you regarding pets and parasites. I know we can get parasites from our pets and our sheepadoodle sleeps in bed with us like a person. Is there a protocol that you recommend or use for pets to eliminate parasites? I know they sell various options at the pet store but would like to use a brand or method that you trust. I also wanted to ask if you use anything to remineralize your pets' water. Our dogs drink reverse osmosis but didn't know if I should add anything else to their water. Thank you, Gina     Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Me again with one last question for you. A few years ago, I had a significant autoimmune flare and had positive Lupus markers when my PCP ran bloodwork (ANA and dsDNA). I worked through the functional labs, protocols, made lifestyle changes, and the next time she ran bloodwork, I was symptom free and both markers were negative. I've been symptom-free since then and these markers have remained negative for two years. Recently, both markers came back positive, but the thing is that I feel great. Should I be worried about tissue damage if ANA is positive? I feel grateful that I know what to do this time around, but would appreciate any advice. We also found mold in our house, so working on mold detox and remediation. Thank you so much for everything you do, Gina      Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering, what is the best source for chick peas? Should we stay away from canned chicked peas? Also, is it ok to cook them? Thank you    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3824 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
