The innate design of all living things is the ability to heal and repair itself. What we see as disease is more often a symptom of an imbalance of the system known as the body. When this happens, the whole system responds to repair itself. In many cases, medication interferes with this process.

With so many conflicting studies and experts shouting from every corner, it's easy to lose sight of one simple truth: your body knows best. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I'm calling out the noise around “good” vs. “bad” foods and diving straight into the powerful signals your body sends every time you eat. From unexplained breakouts and weird cravings to stubborn heartburn and crashing energy levels, your physiology is practically begging you to pay attention. We'll explore how issues like bloating, bad breath, headaches, and even mood swings can be early warning signs that a particular food isn't working for you — no matter what the latest scientific study or diet guru claims. Yes, science and ancestral wisdom matter, but they mean little if you feel lousy every time you bite into certain foods. Think of it as detective work: noticing patterns between what you ate and how you slept, how your skin looks, or whether you're getting random joint pain or weird body odor. If you've ever felt guilty because some “healthy” item (like sourdough or raw milk) just doesn't sit right with you, this episode is your permission slip to trust yourself. It's not about demonizing specific foods; it's about becoming so in tune with your body that you can instantly tell the difference between a mild craving and a genuine sign of hunger — or a subtle symptom and a flashing red light. When in doubt, remember: if it doesn't feel good, it probably isn't good for you. Your unique biology is more than just numbers on a lab test or words in a research paper… it's an entire feedback system that never stops working.  So give yourself the freedom to listen, experiment, and (yes) sometimes say no to foods that simply don't serve you.

Roxana Soetebeer, once considered a "hopeless" type 2 diabetic on 50 units of insulin, completely reversed her condition through a ketogenic diet, demonstrating that type 2 diabetes is not the "chronic progressive disease" her doctors claimed it to be.KISMETWhen Roxana's blood sugar levels dangerously spiked to the 400s, her desperate late-night call to a friend led to a life-changing recommendation to watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet – a coincidence that completely transformed her health trajectory and sparked her mission to help others.EPISODE SUMMARYRoxana Soetebeer shares her remarkable journey from severe type 2 diabetes to complete remission. After being told her condition was "chronic and progressive," Roxana found herself with dangerously high blood sugar levels around 400. In a desperate moment, a friend recommended she watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet. Within days of starting keto, Roxana saw dramatic improvements. She cut her insulin dose in half immediately and eventually eliminated it completely. Beyond diabetes reversal, her kidney disease, fatty liver disease (NASH), and acid reflux resolved as well. Roxana discusses her struggle with sugar addiction, comparing it to other substance addictions and explaining why "moderation" fails for true addicts. Now a certified Metabolic Health Practitioner, she runs a Facebook group with over 20,000 members and advocates for others. Her story challenges the conventional medical approach that treats metabolic conditions as inevitable, progressive diseases requiring lifelong medication.NOTABLE QUOTE"If you had asked me six years ago if I would be getting better or healthier or would get off insulin, I would have said no way, I tried everything...

Send us a textShort Summary: Cancer's metabolic roots with Dr. Thomas Seyfried.About the guest: Thomas Seyfried, PhD is a professor of biology at Boston College. He has researched cancer metabolism, epilepsy, and lipid biochemistry for over 40 years.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Thomas Seyfried discusses the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer, challenging the dominant somatic mutation theory. He explores how cancer cells rely on fermentation due to defective oxidative phosphorylation, drawing on Otto Warburg's work. Seyfried explains how ketogenic diets and nutritional ketosis can starve cancer cells by limiting glucose and glutamine, while sharing evidence from nuclear transfer experiments and clinical studies. The conversation also covers environmental factors driving cancer and the importance of metabolic flexibility for prevention.Key Takeaways:Cancer is characterized by dysregulated cell growth, but Seyfried argues it stems from mitochondrial dysfunction, not just genetic mutations.Cancer cells ferment glucose & glutamine, unable to use fatty acids or ketones, making ketogenic diets a potential therapeutic tool.Nuclear transfer experiments show cancer traits reside in the cytoplasm, not the nucleus, challenging the somatic mutation theory.Environmental factors like processed foods, stress, and poor sleep disrupt mitochondrial function, increasing cancer risk.Seyfried's glucose-ketone index helps monitor metabolic states to manage cancer & chronic diseases.Cancer rates are rising in younger people, possibly due to obesity, inflammation, and environmental toxins.Metabolic flexibility, cycling between ketosis and carb-based states, may mimic ancestral patterns and reduce chronic disease risk.Related episode:M&M #215: Cancer Metabolism: Sugar, Fructose, Lipids & Fasting | Gary PattiSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

What if your anxiety, brain fog, or mood swings aren't in your mind... but in your mitochondria? I know—that sounds wild. But in this jaw-dropping episode of Love, Happiness & Success, I'm talking with Dr. Bret Scher about something that completely changed the way I think about mental health: Metabolic Psychiatry. We dive into the cutting-edge (but surprisingly old!) science behind mind and energy psychiatry  that connects mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even serious psychiatric conditions with how your body uses energy. Spoiler alert: your brain runs on fuel, and what you eat matters a lot more than we were taught in grad school. Together, Dr. Scher and I unpack how ketogenic therapy is helping people reclaim their mental clarity, lift mood disorders, and, in some cases, experience complete transformation. If you've been “doing the work” and still not feeling like yourself, this conversation might be the missing piece you've been searching for.

Send us a textShort Summary: Heart health and the ketogenic diet, with expert insights from a cardiologist and researcher.About the guest: Matthew Budoff, MD, is a preventive cardiologist and professor of medicine at UCLA School of Medicine.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Matthew Budoff discusses cholesterol, heart disease, and his study on the ketogenic diet's impact on lean, metabolically healthy individuals with high LDL cholesterol. He explains LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, debunking myths about their direct link to heart disease, and emphasizes the importance of coronary calcium scans to assess plaque buildup. Budoff also covers statins, dietary cholesterol, and personalized heart health strategies.Key Takeaways:LDL cholesterol is not a definitive predictor of heart disease; plaque buildup, assessed via coronary calcium scans, is a better indicator.Lean metabolically healthy people on a ketogenic diet may have high LDL without increased plaque progression after one year.Coronary calcium scans, costing ~$100, are recommended for men around age 40 and women around 45-50 to evaluate heart disease risk.Statins effectively lower LDL and can reverse soft plaque, but may be overprescribed for those without plaque buildup.Dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol, as the liver produces ~85% of it.Ketogenic diet can aid weight loss & diabetes control but may cause high LDL in some lean individuals, known as lean mass hyper-responders.Plaque progression depends more on existing plaque than LDL levels in metabolically healthy ketogenic diet followers.Heart health varies widely due to genetics and other unknown factors, underscoring the need for personalized assessments.Related episode:M&M #158: Ketosis & Ketogenic Diet: Brain & Mental Health, Metabolism, Diet & Exercise, Cancer, Diabetes | Dominic D'AgoSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

For many, navigating a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. While mainstream treatments like chemotherapy remain foundational, emerging scientific research offers exciting new ways to support overall health and wellness during treatment. This week, I'm joined by Ian Mitchell, a research scientist and pharmaceutical consultant. We explore groundbreaking insights into Carbon 60 (C60), a compound with unique properties, and how it may complement lifestyle strategies like ketosis for those looking to support their health during cancer treatment. In this episode, you'll discover: What Is Carbon 60 (C60): C60 is a carbon-based molecule known for its antioxidant properties. When paired with lipids, it may interact with cellular membranes in mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress and promote energy production at the cellular level. "All of your inflammatory markers go down simultaneously while your energy levels are going up," says Mitchell. "And so you feel very robust." The Importance of Ketosis: A ketogenic diet, which emphasizes low-carbohydrate, high-fat nutrition, has been studied for its potential to support metabolic health. Mitchell shares how this dietary approach may create an environment that challenges cancer cell growth while supporting healthy DNA integrity.  How C60 Fits into a Comprehensive Wellness Plan: C60's unique properties allow it to promote healthy cell function while reducing oxidative stress. Mitchell explains how incorporating C60 into a broader health regimen, alongside a supportive diet, may help optimize cellular health and resilience. Chemotherapy Can Be Effective—to an Extent: While chemotherapy plays a crucial role in many treatment plans, Mitchell and I discuss why personalized approaches to wellness and treatment may provide better outcomes. "You have this type of cancer, but nobody is checking to see if in your very specific case, does this chemotherapy work or not?" shares Dr. Myers. 07:24 Carbon 60 and Its Biological Impact 15:14 Cancer Treatment Innovations 27:52 Challenges in the Pharmaceutical Industry 36:59 Diving into Cancer Research 39:09 Exploring Metabolic Approaches to Cancer Treatment 40:27 Personal Experiences with Medical Controversies 41:43 The Role of Ketogenic Diets and Supplements in Cancer Treatments 42:59 Overcoming Medical Challenges with Alternative Therapies 48:02 Success Stories and Setbacks in Cancer Treatment 56:40 Preventative Measures and Long-Term Health Strategies Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Ian Mitchell: Website: https://wizardsciences.com/ Email: support@wizardsciences.com

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how hormones regulate hunger, appetite and feelings of satiety (fullness), along with strategies to help control appetite. I describe how the body senses nutrient levels and how the brain processes these signals to stimulate hunger or suppress appetite. I also discuss how certain foods can help curb hunger, while processed foods and emulsifiers can interfere with satiety signals, leading to overeating. Additionally, I cover how lifestyle factors such as exercise and meal timing regulate blood glucose levels, which in turn impact hunger and appetite. Huberman Lab Essentials episodes are approximately 30 minutes long and focus on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, while our full-length episodes will continue to be released every Monday. This Huberman Lab Essentials is from the full-length Huberman Lab episode, “How Our Hormones Control Our Hunger, Eating & Satiety.” Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on a journey that has been nothing short of extraordinary. This year alone, the podcast hit over 4,800,000 downloads—reminding me of the incredible community we’ve built together. When I started nearly two decades ago, the podcasting world was a far cry from the global phenomenon it is today. Back then, it was a fledgling medium—an experiment to see if people would connect with raw, unfiltered conversations (in my case, about health, fitness, and the human experience). Fast forward to today—it’s incredible to see how this space has evolved. Through this growth, I’ve been privileged to host podcasts twice a week, year after year, producing thousands of episodes. What began with shows like Endurance Planet, Get-Fit Guy, Rock Star Triathlete Academy, Train For Top Dollar, and Ben Greenfield Fitness has blossomed into a legacy of content that explores not just the edges of human performance but the very heart of what it means to live a boundless life. As we look ahead to 2025, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement. The mountains ahead are even taller, the challenges greater, and the opportunities more boundless than ever. Thank you for being part of this journey—cheers to another year of discovery, growth, and transformation! To recap how far we've come together, I welcome you to a special edition "Best of 2024" episode! In this show, you’ll get to revisit the year's most compelling insights, cutting-edge therapies, and transformative lifestyle strategies. Join me as we explore practical tips, personal routines, and strategies designed to optimize your health, longevity, and vitality. From using advanced tools like PEMF mats and smart home setups to my systematic approach to high-intensity interval training, intermittent fasting, and targeted supplementation, you’ll get to uncover actionable insights for limitless life optimization. This episode isn’t just a recap of the best of 2024—it’s a roadmap for how you can elevate your health, performance, and longevity in 2025. Let’s dive in!
