NESEDA pre mňa nikdy nebola obyčajná stolička, ale odpoveď na civilizačný problém chronického sedenia, gravipauzy a fyzickej degenerácie moderného človeka. Jej príbeh sa začal víziou vytvoriť pracovné prostredie, ktoré človeka nebude pasívne usádzať, ale bude ho prirodzene pozývať k pohybu počas práce. Spolu s Michalom Trubanom sme z prvých surových skíc, odborného presvedčenia a mnohých prototypov postupne vytvorili fyzický produkt, ktorý otvoril novú kategóriu aktívneho „ne-sedenia“. V tomto video článku mapujem dôležité míľniky projektu: vznik myšlienky, vývoj, predpredaj, výrobu, zmeny vo vedení, vlastnícke premeny aj hľadanie udržateľného obchodného modelu. Nie je to však iba história produktu, ale aj moje osobné svedectvo o tom, čo veľký projekt urobí s človekom, ktorý sa rozhodne udržať víziu pri živote. Otvorene pomenúvam vlastné chyby, slabé stránky aj morálne ponaučenia, ktoré vyplynuli z rokov práce, tlaku, naivity, dôvery, konfliktov a neľahkých rozhodnutí. NESEDA sa tak pre mňa stala nielen produktom, ale aj školou odvahy, charakteru, podnikateľskej zrelosti a pokory. Tento článok spolu s videom je určený všetkým, ktorí cítia, že chcú vytvoriť niečo väčšie než seba, no zatiaľ nenašli odvahu začať.

Gary Taubes on Rethinking Diabetes: Diet, Insulin, and the History Behind Low-Carb Treatment: Journalist Gary Taubes is author of “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments.” The book traces diabetes treatment history and argues that carbohydrate restriction was standard care from 1797 through the early 20th century until insulin therapy shifted practice toward drug-centered management and higher-carbohydrate diets. Taubes explains how insulin's discovery changed dietary priorities, how later technology (radioimmunoassay) revealed that most diabetes is type 2 with insulin resistance and high insulin rather than deficiency, and why giving more insulin can worsen weight gain. They discuss major trials (including ACCORD, ADVANCE, and Look AHEAD) that failed to show benefits from intensive drug-based glucose control, the influence of low-fat guidelines, Richard Bernstein's role in blood-glucose self-monitoring and low-carb control, controversies about obesity models, ketosis vs ketoacidosis, GLP-1 drugs, and LDL increases on ketogenic diets.

Send us Fan MailJoomee Kyler embarked on a profound spiritual journey while grappling with significant health challenges, driven by a desire to comprehend the reasons behind her struggles. Initially engulfed in anger, she eventually transitioned into a state of gratitude, recognizing that her experiences had cultivated strength and resilience.Now, Joomee is healthier and stronger than ever, motivated to share her story in hopes of aiding others facing similar difficulties. Though aware that not everyone may be receptive to her message, Joomee believes that if she can impact even a single person, the trials endured will have been worthwhile.Acknowledging the loneliness that often accompanies this path, Joomee notes that diets like ketogenic diets and fasting remain unconventional, attracting skepticism from many. However, this very skepticism has fostered a tight-knit community, united by shared experiences and a common goal of transformation.Today, she wishes for her narrative to resonate with others, demonstrating that a vibrant, energetic life free from chronic pain, illness, depression, or anxiety is attainable. Joomee emphasize the importance of self-advocacy, encouraging others to trust their instincts when something feels amiss.Recently, Joomee joined Metabolic Collective as a volunteer, where connecting with like-minded individuals has bolstered her emotional resilience and reinforced her commitment to supporting others on similar journeys.Find Joomee at-https://www.metabolicmind.org/thinksmart/explore-strategies/joomee-kyler/FB- Metabolic Collective PageIG- @lowcarbology101IG- @metabolic.health.storiesFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here! 

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how exposure to natural daylight may improve metabolic health beyond diet and exercise, highlighting a controlled crossover study of 13 adults aged 65+ with type 2 diabetes published in Cell Metabolism. Participants spent 4.5 days in living spaces lit by either natural light through large windows or artificial light, with identical meals, sleep, activity, and screen time; after a 4-week washout they switched conditions. Natural light was associated with more hours of blood glucose in the normal range, less glucose variability, higher evening melatonin, and improved fat oxidative metabolism, suggesting effects on circadian “body clocks” and coordination between central and peripheral clocks. Muedin recommends getting morning light on the face, reducing sunglasses and high SPF use, dimming lights at night, keeping consistent sleep, and spending more time outdoors; she also notes that architecture can limit sunlight exposure.

Metabolic Therapies are increasingly being found to treat a surprising number of conditions, and this is especially exciting in the Mental Health field. Natasha Smikles gives an informative overview of this field and the work of the Metabolic Collective, as well as using the Ketogenic Diet for dogs.

I bust through the third wall or whatevs in Episode 10 of TSC Talks 3.0 Research. Dropped the whiteboard til the end. Summed up the 9 episodes and added a bit on the end about CPTSD, TAND and the fact that the entire family system is drawn into the grid as data churnin' emotin' node. Used the Google AI to investigate the theories I had on amplification of TSC by multiple factors for purpose and product and it proved true based on the research plus lived experience thus far.Source Links for Further ResearchI.

Existujú hry, ktoré sa nedajú vyhrať. Nie preto, že by si bol slabý, ale preto, že nie sú postavené pre tvoje telo. V tejto epizóde som bol hosťom v TROSHCASTE a otvorili sme tému, ktorá sa na prvý pohľad tvári ako debata o športe, no v skutočnosti siaha oveľa hlbšie. Hovoríme o tom, prečo nie každý človek patrí do každého športu rovnako a prečo je chybou zamieňať nevhodný výber disciplíny za nedostatok talentu, disciplíny alebo charakteru. Jedna z najsilnejších myšlienok tejto epizódy je, že pochopiť vlastné telo nie je obmedzenie, ale oslobodenie. Keď prestaneš bojovať proti svojej biomechanike a začneš jej rozumieť, môžeš robiť lepšie rozhodnutia v tréningu, v športe aj v živote. Dotýkame sa aj toho, ako stereotypy deformovali naše vnímanie talentu, výkonu a pohybového potenciálu. Rozhovor prepája šport, vedu, sebapoznanie aj identitu, pretože telo nie je len nástroj výkonu, ale aj nositeľ určitých predispozícií. Ak ťa zaujíma, prečo niektorí ľudia v určitých pohyboch prirodzene vynikajú a iní sa v nich trápia aj napriek veľkej snahe, táto epizóda ti poskladá dôležité súvislosti. Je to diel pre športovcov, trénerov, rodičov aj premýšľajúcich ľudí, ktorí chcú lepšie rozumieť tomu, kde končí motivácia a kde začína biológia. A možno práve aj mnohé ženy vďaka tomuto podcastu lepšie pochopia, že prijatie vlastného tela nezačína bojom proti nemu, ale porozumením jeho dizajnu — pretože nie všetko, čo je konštrukčne dané, sa dá zmeniť, no dá sa to prijať a obrátiť vo svoj prospech.

Dr. Pierre Kory joins The Jeff Dornik Show for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the medical establishment's war on low-cost therapeutics and ends with a deeper look at creation, minerals, and why Scripture keeps holding up a little better than the experts would prefer. We discuss chlorine dioxide, ivermectin, medical censorship, Big Pharma, cancer treatment, ketogenic and metabolic therapies, repurposed drugs, and the system's allergy to anything that is safe, affordable, and inconvenient to the people monetizing sickness. Then the conversation shifts into Kory's research on minerals, water, the origin of life, Genesis, the fountains of the great deep, and whether changes in the earth after Noah's Flood may help explain the dramatic decline in human lifespans. In other words, this episode manages to challenge both the pharmaceutical machine and the secular priesthood in one sitting, which is usually a decent sign that the conversation was worth having.SPONSORIf you are going to shop anyway, use Rakuten and get real cash back so you can steward your resources wisely in a world that keeps trying to take more from you.

I'm confused by information presented on diets containing meat as being dangerous. Could you shed some light?Assisted living models that would be of benefit to older adults

What if the cancer treatments you trust are built on the wrong foundation?Dr. Thomas Seyfried has spent decades building the scientific case that cancer isn't a genetic disease. It's a metabolic one. And that distinction changes everything. He breaks down exactly why cancer cells can't survive without glucose and glutamine, why conventional oncology has largely ignored this, and why managing cancer without toxic side effects isn't just possible. It's already happening.Dr. Seyfried also explains why eating meat won't raise your glutamine levels the way most people fear, how nutritional ketosis can cut chemotherapy doses in half, and why a drug called DON could be a turning point in metabolic cancer care if the FDA ever gets out of the way. If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, this conversation could reshape how you think about treatment options.

In this episode Dr. Anthony Chaffee, an American medical doctor and neurosurgical registrar discusses his research on optimum nutrition for human performance and health, asserting that many chronic diseases can be improved or reversed with dietary changes toward a species-specific diet. Marcus and Dr. Chaffee also explore the economic burden of chronic diseases, the role of insulin and blood sugar in health, and how a high-fat, meat-based ketogenic diet can address various health issues. The conversation also compares the critical thinking approach of Dr. Chaffee with that of acclaimed author Thomas Sowell, noting the importance of evidence-based conclusions and practical dietary applications. Episode Highlights: 02:03 The Real Healthcare Crisis 04:01 The Cost of Chronic Diseases 12:10 The Role of Insulin and Mitochondria 15:58 Ketogenic Diet and Cancer 25:41 Role of Mitochondria in Cell Regulation 26:49 Warburg's Theory and Modern Evidence 27:55 Link Between Glucose Metabolism and Cancer 28:35 Nuclear Transfer Studies 29:34 Thomas Sowell's Influence Dr. Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor and Neurosurgical resident with over 20 years of research focused on optimal nutrition for human performance and health.

Send us Fan MailMost fitness advice assumes the problem is knowledge. Eat less, move more, stay consistent. Drew Manning believed that too. He was a trainer who had never been overweight, watching clients fail at things that seemed obvious to him, and quietly judging them for it.So in 2011 he stopped exercising, ate like most of America eats, and spent six months gaining 75 pounds on purpose. Then he tried to lose it. That part, he thought, would be easy.It wasn't. And what broke open during that process had almost nothing to do with food.Dr. Kevin White sits down with Drew at Four Seasons Hualalai to talk about what the body actually does when you try to change it, why the fitness industry keeps failing the people who need it most, and what Drew found on the other side of doing this whole thing a second time at 40."The results become a byproduct of living that lifestyle. Not the main focus."This one reframes the whole conversation around what transformation actually requires.Find more from Drew HEREAnd follow The Daily Apple and leave a review to help more people find the show. www.primehealthassociates.com Instagram: @KevinWhiteMD YouTube: @KevinWhiteMD Prime Health Associates

In addition to being a respected clinical psychiatrist for more than 20 years, Dr. Matt Bernstein is Accord's chief executive officer and one of the leading voices in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. After graduating summa cum laude from Columbia University in New York, N.Y., with a bachelor's degree in English literature, he received his medical degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Bernstein then trained at the MGH McLean Psychiatry Residency Program in Belmont, Mass., where he served as chief resident. He remained at McLean Hospital after residency as a psychiatrist-in-charge and later served as assistant medical director of its schizophrenia and bipolar inpatient program. Dr. Bernstein has developed his passion for community-based care as the chief medical officer at Ellenhorn, a sister program of Accord, where he has pursued alternative ways (such as a focus on metabolism, nutrition, circadian-rhythm biology and exercise) to help individuals achieve their best levels of functioning without relying solely on traditional psychiatric approaches. In addition to serving on the clinical advisory board at Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bernstein is known for organizing the first-ever public conference on metabolic psychiatry in 2023. SHOWNOTES:

A discussion of the book "Rethinking Diabetes" by Gary TaubesCORRECTION: Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR)The impact of hops on the microbiomeA listener's suggestion on avoiding microplastics

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Can the ketogenic diet help improve symptoms for individuals living with treatment-resistant depression?In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Megan Kirk Chang, a senior researcher in metabolic psychiatry at the University of Oxford and a co-author of the recently published DIME trial.This study represents the first randomized clinical trial to evaluate a ketogenic diet in adults with treatment-resistant depression.Participants were assigned to either a ketogenic diet or a plant-rich comparison diet for six weeks to assess whether dietary intervention could influence depressive symptoms. Both groups experienced meaningful improvements in depression scores, with the ketogenic diet slightly outperforming the control group at 6 weeks.While the difference between groups did not reach the threshold for statistical significance, the findings suggest a positive signal that warrants further investigation.In this interview, Dr. Kirk Chang reflects on:The strengths of the study and where she sees opportunity for improvement.What the modest difference between diets might meanWhy early pilot trials are designed to detect signals rather than definitive answersWhat the study revealed about adherence, cravings, and behavioral factorsHow these results will inform larger and longer clinical trials now being plannedAs Dr. Kirk Chang explains, this six-week pilot trial was designed as proof-of-concept research to determine whether there is enough signal to justify larger studies in metabolic psychiatry.At Metabolic Mind, we view studies like this as an important step in a growing scientific effort to understand how metabolism and nutrition may influence serious mental illness. Each new study contributes to the evolving evidence base that will help researchers determine who may benefit, why, and under what conditions.

Dr. Alex Marson, MD, PhD, is a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. We discuss the biology of the immune system and cancer, and everyday choices that can increase or decrease your cancer risk, several of which are surprising but all of which are actionable. We also discuss immunotherapy, including how engineered T-cells can be used to defeat childhood and adult cancers. Dr. Marson explains CRISPR and gene editing to cure diseases, and we address the ethical questions surrounding gene editing in embryos, children and adults. This discussion is for anyone interested in avoiding cancer and/or seeking to understand the science and practical applications of immune- or gene-therapy. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Are there real contraindications to a ketogenic diet? Yes, but they're far rarer than many people think. So who shouldn't do keto?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the difference between absolute and relative contraindications to ketogenic therapy. While rare inborn metabolic disorders and certain acute illnesses are true absolute contraindications, most commonly cited concerns, including type 1 or type 2 diabetes, heart disease, serious mental illness, high cholesterol, and even pregnancy are listed as relative contraindications, which really means, “use caution and work with an experienced clinician.”Watch to learn who should avoid ketogenic therapy, who may benefit, and why clinical guidance makes all the difference.

February is Heart Health Month, making it the perfect time to challenge common misconceptions about diet and cardiovascular health.One claim that always resurfaces? That ketogenic diets are bad for your heart. But when you take a closer look at the science, that assumption simply doesn't hold up.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the real evidence behind ketogenic diets and cardiovascular risk, addressing:✅ How many “keto” studies don't actually study true ketogenic diets✅ The truth about LDL cholesterol on keto (it doesn't go up for everyone!)✅ Why triglycerides, HDL, insulin, and inflammation may matter more than LDL✅ How keto compares to DASH for blood pressure and metabolic health✅ Why saturated fat from real food behaves differently in the body✅ The critical difference between ultra-processed high-fat/high-carb diets and low-carb, whole-food ketogenic diets

The Ketogenic diet is popular for weight loss in humans, but does it work, and can it work with my grass-eating horses? The simple answer is yes, and you don't need to make them carnivores! A ketone, also known as beta-hydroxybutyrate, can be produced in two ways in horses. The first is the bacterial breakdown of cellulose in their hindgut. I have discussed this elsewhere, and it is the primary source of this ketone. The second way occurs when a horse consumes its body fat, which then forms ketones. The most common way to force a horse to consume its body fat is to starve them, and this is exactly what happens in starvation. But we don't need to go that far. What starts the horse making its own ketones is deciding to stop eating. There are two ways to do this: feed adequate amounts of high-quality protein, and stop feeding excess glucose (sugar) in the form of starch found in grains, grain mixes, balancers, supplements, treats, and excess hay. Believe it or not, but the more you feed food filled with glucose, the hungrier the horse will become. It is a paradox, but it is essential to understand if you want your horse to lose body fat, maintain muscle, become healthy, and remain sound. ********** Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a place to learn about horses, barns, and farms.

Doug Reynolds welcomes listeners back to the LowCarbUSA® Podcast with a guest who works in one of the most specialized—and most misunderstood—corners of cardiovascular medicine: the heart's electrical system.  Dr. David Nabert is an electrophysiologist ("EP" doctor), focused on heart rhythm disorders, and he's one of the featured speakers at the Boca Symposium for Metabolic Health (January 23–25)—including the event's full day-plus dedicated to cardiovascular conditions. What gives this episode its pull is the combination of clinical depth and lived experience. David isn't just talking about rhythm problems from a textbook perspective—he's explaining how his own curiosity about metabolic health evolved, what shifted when he started questioning conventional assumptions, and why those questions matter for real patients in the real world. David describes how his entry point into metabolic health didn't begin in a clinic—it began with a random Google search. In 2021, while looking up a cardiology formula, he accidentally landed on a Nina Teicholz talk at the Cato Institute. "I started to watch it, and all of a sudden, an hour and a half passed," he says—one of those moments where interest turns into momentum. He listened to Teicholz's book, The Big Fat Surprise, then began searching for more voices in the low-carb space and quickly reconnected with familiar names, including Dr. Robert Cywes and Dr. Eric Westman (both will also be presenting in Boca), whom he calls mentors. That exploration ultimately led him to the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (The SMHP) and, importantly, a willingness to test ideas on himself. David is candid about his own weight journey. He describes a time when a body mass index under 25 felt "skinny" to him, and he's open about losing weight, regaining some after a series of hip surgeries, and continuing to work on it. What ultimately shifted, though, wasn't just the number on the scale—it was how he began to rethink what "doing everything right" actually means. For years, he approached weight loss the way many clinicians were trained to: low-fat, high willpower, endure the hunger. He describes his old strategy bluntly: "The only way I had lost weight… was by doing protein sparing modified fast… I was just eating almost no fat." Predictably, it wasn't sustainable. When he later shifted to a lower-carb, higher-fat approach—"bacon, eggs, hamburger"—he was "amazed at how quickly I started to lose weight," and he began seeing changes in markers that traditional cardiology often de-emphasizes. After stopping long-term statin therapy (which he had been on for 25 years), he saw his LDL return to roughly where it had been earlier in life, but other changes caught his attention: triglycerides dropped to the lowest he'd ever seen, HDL improved, and fasting insulin improved as well. Just as meaningful were the changes he felt: "Every 10 or 20 pounds I lost, my hips got better," he says, attributing it not only to less load, but "also part of it was less inflammation." From there, the episode moves into the heart of why David is speaking during the cardiovascular-focused programming in Boca: rhythm, electricity, and the surprising overlap between conditions that seem unrelated—like seizures and arrhythmias. David explains that early ketogenic diet research in the 1920s focused on refractory seizures, and he argues the connection matters because many antiarrhythmic drugs and antiseizure drugs overlap mechanistically. In his view, these aren't separate worlds. "Treating seizures or treating cardiac arrhythmias is basically two faces of the same coin," he says—and that opens a practical question: if ketosis can help reduce seizures, might it also influence certain rhythm symptoms? He shares a striking clinical example that stuck with him: a former submariner with PTSD and episodes of fast heart rates who said, "I know when I'm… ketogenic… when I fall off the wagon… then I start having palpitations and fast heart rates." David later learned the patient was experiencing atrial fibrillation, and while he's careful not to overpromise, he describes a pattern he's observed: in earlier stages of rhythm problems, being in a ketogenic state may reduce symptoms and potentially slow progression for some people. "It doesn't cure atrial fibrillation," he emphasizes, but he's seen ketosis "improves symptoms," not only in AFib, but in other rhythm issues like SVT and PVCs—especially early on. From there, David widens the frame to what he's seeing in younger patients—particularly young women—showing up with palpitations, rapid heart rate, anxiety, and signs of metabolic dysfunction even when they don't "look" unhealthy by BMI alone. "Only 90% of them are metabolically unhealthy," he says, describing a familiar cluster: A1C not quite normal, resting heart rates high, daytime heart rates that shouldn't be running 100–120, and a nervous system dialed up in what he calls a "hyper adrenergic state." The mainstream response is often medication—beta blockers, for example—but David argues metabolic context matters, and he's exploring how nutritional strategies (including ketosis, sometimes even supplemental ketones) may reduce symptom burden in certain cases. He also discusses POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), noting it can be associated with viral infections and has become more common since "the bad virus we had five years ago." Again, he's measured in his claims: ketosis isn't a cure, but he's seen it help reduce symptoms in select patients who have tried many other standard approaches first. The second half of the conversation touches on medications and the tension between "lower the number" cardiology and whole-person outcomes. David brings up PCSK9 inhibitors and recalls being troubled by early data patterns: "You were less likely to die from that, but you're more likely to die from cancer or infection… And… the overall mortality was the same." That line of thinking captures what pushed him toward metabolic health: a concern that focusing on a single marker can obscure the bigger picture of risk, resilience, and long-term outcomes. He also discusses SGLT2 inhibitors (like Jardiance and Farxiga) as potentially useful tools—especially in heart failure and diabetes—while stressing the importance of monitoring and hydration. In a moment that captures both his clinical caution and his enthusiasm for empowered patients, he tells people who go low carb on these meds to "get a Keto Mojo to check your ketone levels," because the goal is to use tools intelligently, not blindly. As the episode closes, Doug returns to the bigger mission behind the upcoming Boca program: helping attendees develop a confident, educated response to the most common fear tactic people face when they change their diet—LDL, heart attacks, and the assumption that low carb automatically means danger. Doug notes there are still "so few that really do get it and support it and talk about it," which is exactly why the cardiovascular-focused day-plus at the Boca Symposium for Metabolic Health (January 23–25) matters. David, for his part, is grateful to be part of it—and to be healthy enough to show up differently than last time. He reminds Doug that at previous events he was "either walking with one or two canes," but now, "I'm actually not going to run up on the stage, but I'll be moving pretty quickly." That moment captures the heart of the episode: metabolic health isn't theoretical. It's lived. And in Boca, that lived experience meets serious clinical discussion—especially for anyone trying to better understand cardiovascular risk, rhythm disorders, and the metabolic foundations that too often go unaddressed. If this conversation sparks your curiosity, the next step is obvious: join the community in Boca January 23–25 and immerse yourself in a day and a half of cardiovascular-focused talks designed to help you think more clearly, speak more confidently, and act more effectively—whether you're a clinician, a patient, or someone trying to help the people you love.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the renaming of fatty liver disease to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (M-A-S-L-D) to reduce stigma and improve diagnosis. Dr. Mary Ella's efforts at the University of Chicago Medicine highlight how this change aids in better patient identification and treatment. Leyla emphasizes lifestyle changes like a low-carb diet to manage and reverse the disease. The episode also covers the prevalence of fake extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on the market, ways to identify authentic olive oil, and the importance of choosing quality over mass-produced options.

Send us a textDeep dive into how ketogenic diets and carbohydrate intake effect exercise performance, and misconceptions in sports nutrition.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Insulin as a powerful metabolic hormone: regulates nutrient storage across tissues, overriding others like glucagon to promote fat and glucose storage during abundance.Glucagon & GLP-1 roles in metabolism: Glucagon mobilizes liver glucose during scarcity; GLP-1, amplified in drugs like Ozempic, suppresses hunger but originated as a diabetes treatment.Transition to ketosis in fasting or low-carb diets: Low insulin enables fat breakdown into ketones for brain fuel, allowing survival for weeks without food, with adaptation taking about four weeks.Hypoglycemia vs. glycogen depletion: Low blood sugar causes fatigue and irritability due to brain energy deficit, while muscle glycogen levels do not directly limit performance.Ketogenic diets & exercise performance: Studies show no difference in endurance after adaptation, with some athletes performing better on low-carb due to enhanced fat oxidation.High-carb diets in athletes: In one study, about 30% developed prediabetes-like fasting glucose elevations, linked to total carb intake, despite leanness and fitness.Misconceptions in sports nutrition: Guidelines recommend 60-90g carbs/hour, but evidence shows 10g suffices to maintain blood sugar and performance, avoiding insulin spikes that impair fat use.Individual variability in diet response: Athletes vary in optimal fuel sources; it's possible to by athletic and lean but also metabolically unhealthy.PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS:For workouts over ~60 minutes, consume ~10g carbs per hour (e.g., a third of a banana) to maintain blood sugar and prevent fatigue, regardless of overall diet.Allow at least four weeks for adaptation when trying a ketogenic diet, enabling the body to fully transition to the ketogenic state.Monitor personal responses to carb intake, as high levels can elevate fasting glucose even in fit individuals; consider lower-carb options if experiencing metabolic issues.Prioritize metabolic flexibility through varied diets or fasting periods to improve energy stability, but consult resources for proper formulation to support health.ABOUT THE GUEST: Andrew Koutnik, PhD earned a PhD in biomedical sciences with a focus on exercise physiology and metabolic health, informed by his personal diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in childhoodSupport the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Send us a textHow ketosis and ketogenic diets work and how these tools can improve metabolic health, brain function, and even cancer management.Topics Discussed:Organs have different fuel preferences: brain strongly prefers glucose, heart prefers fatty acids, skeletal muscle is flexible and likes fat/ketones.Humans evolved with high metabolic flexibility; regular ketosis was normal for ancestors, but today most people never experience it.“Keto flu” is largely glucose withdrawal plus electrolyte/sodium loss; proper salt and hydration prevent most symptoms.Classic medical ketogenic diet is ~90% fat (historically saturated); modern versions often use more monounsaturated fats, MCTs, and higher protein.Saturated fat is not inherently atherogenic in the context of weight stability or caloric deficit; excess calories from any source can dysregulate metabolism.Exogenous ketones (e.g. BHB) provide energy, reduce ROS, stabilize membranes, increase inhibitory tone (GABA), and have hormone-like signaling effects independent of diet.Cancer cells often show Warburg effect (damaged mitochondrial respiration → heavy reliance on glycolysis); lowering glucose and raising ketones can stress cancer cells.True keto-adaptation for athletic performance requires 6–12 weeks; after that, elite athletes can match or exceed prior high-carb performance at sub-maximal and endurance efforts.Practical Takeaways:Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (50–100 g/day for many people) plus occasional fasting or ketone supplements can restore metabolic flexibility with far fewer side effects than strict keto.Prioritize whole-food fats (eggs, fatty fish, beef, olive oil, butter/lard) and minimize processed keto products loaded with seed oils.Supplementing BHB (salts or esters) or MCT oil can ease the transition into ketosis, boost ketones without strict dieting, and may support brain and metabolic health.Regularly check basic blood markers (glucose, lipids, electrolytes) and consider an OmegaQuant test; optimizing metabolic health is one of the strongest preventable steps against cancer, neurodegeneration, and heart disease.Supplemental Ketone (BHB):KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB with potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Dom D'Agostino is a neuroscientist and professor at the forefront of metabolic therapies, including ketogenic diets, exogenous ketones, and hyperbaric oxygen. In this episode, Dom breaks down nutritional versus supplemental ketosis, defines meaningful ketone thresholds, and outlines practical ways to achieve ketosis. He explains how a ketogenic diet can support metabolic health and weight loss, and advises on how to maintain adequate protein and avoid common mistakes. Dom surveys the growing landscape of exogenous ketones—from salts and esters to 1,3-butanediol—and effective pairings like caffeine, MCT oil, and alpha-GPC. He highlights the role of ketogenic therapy in cancer (particularly glioblastoma) and its promise for neurodegenerative diseases. The conversation also covers recommended hyperbaric oxygen protocols for brain injuries and cognitive function, situations where fasting or ketones offer cognitive and anti-inflammatory benefits, and touches on the carnivore diet as a ketogenic variant with potential relevance for autoimmune and metabolic conditions. We discuss: Dom and Peter's shared interest in ketosis, and Dom's scientific journey [2:30]; Dom's work for the Navy on oxygen toxicity [7:00]; Nutritional ketosis defined: physiology, biomarkers, and how fasting and diet generate therapeutic ketones [15:00]; The historical roots of ketogenic diets in epilepsy treatment, and evidence showing ketones reduce seizure activity and strengthen brain resilience [19:00]; Dom's personal experience on the ketogenic diet: tracking macros, getting enough protein, and monitoring ketone levels [24:15]; Using a ketogenic diet for weight loss: Dom's guidance on protein, fiber, calorie tracking, lipid monitoring, and more [31:00]; Protein on ketogenic diets: Dom's rationale for higher intake and muscle preservation [38:00]; Incorporating carbohydrates into keto: timing, high-fiber foods, and other considerations [41:30]; The carnivore diet: whether this diet induces ketosis, how it functions metabolically, and why it may help individuals with autoimmune conditions [44:15]; Early exogenous ketones: how 1,3-butanediol works, its liver toxicity risk, and why ketone esters replaced it [48:15]; The progression of exogenous ketones: why BHB monoesters and ketone salts emerged as better alternatives to 1,3-butanediol for ketone supplementation [59:30]; Ketone salts: easing the transition into ketosis, dosing, and how they compare to ketone esters [1:04:00]; The differences between D- and L-β-hydroxybutyrate, and how racemic mixtures may elevate ketones longer and offer unique biological effects [1:09:30]; How ketosis may boost NAD, and why NAD supplements have fallen short so far [1:16:30]; Emerging evidence for using a ketogenic diet to treat anorexia and other psychiatric disorders [1:20:30]; Potential cognitive and performance benefits of ketone supplementation, and why pushing ketones too high can be dangerous [1:23:45]; Applications for ketone esters, and why ketone salts or MCT-blended formulations may be safer and more practical for most people [1:29:15]; The role of a ketogenic diet in treating cancer [1:34:45]; The potential of a ketogenic diet for treating Alzheimer's disease [1:45:45]; Tools for cognitive enhancement: ketones, alpha-GPC, MCT, caffeine, strategic fasting, and more [1:53:45]; Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for concussion, TBI, PTSD, and cognitive function, including protocols and dosing approaches [1:55:30]; Peter's takeaways, recommended products, and additional resources to learn more [2:03:00]; and More.

This week's episode is all about something we all need a little more of—gratitude, grounding, and giving ourselves grace through the holidays.With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we're diving into simple, practical ways you can weave gratitude into your running and daily life. Not in a “force yourself to be grateful” kind of way, but in a gentle, real, “let's slow down and notice what's good” way. From a 30-second pre-run gratitude pause to a post-run cool-down chat with yourself, these tiny practices can completely shift your mindset, your training, and honestly… how you feel about your body.We also talk openly about something many runners struggle with but don't always discuss—holiday food anxiety. The pressure, the comments, the guilt, the urge to “earn your food”… we're not doing that this year. I walk you through how to approach holiday meals with more compassion, less fear, and a lot more presence so you can actually enjoy the season without feeling like you're betraying your goals or your body.And because consistency can get tough this time of year, we share strategies to help you stay connected to your training without feeling rigid or overwhelmed. Spoiler: flexibility and grace are part of the plan.We also introduce our brand-new 30-Day Running Reset inside the new RLR app, built to help you rebuild your foundation, reconnect with your body, and fit running, strength, and mobility into real life—even during the busiest season. The app makes it easy, doable, and supportive, so you don't have to figure things out alone.As always, we close with a huge dose of gratitude for you—our community. You're the reason this podcast continues to grow, and it means the world when you leave a review or share the show with another runner who might need it.Take a breath, take a moment, and let's step into this holiday season grounded and grateful—together.01:28 The Power of Gratitude06:19 Gratitude in Running13:45 Thanksgiving Food Anxiety22:09 Reprogramming Your Relationship with Food22:27 Fueling Your Body for Performance24:32 The Myth of Ketogenic Diets for Athletes25:39 Enjoying Holiday Meals Without Guilt27:55 Training Through the Holiday Season33:49 Maintaining Consistency and Identity as a RunnerJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

In this episode, we sit down with integrative oncologist and metabolic health pioneer Dr. Nasha Winters (who insists we call her Nasha) to explore the powerful intersection of cancer, ultra-processed foods, metabolism, and sovereignty. Nasha shares her astonishing personal story: years of dismissed symptoms, normalized suffering, and relentless gaslighting that culminated in a diagnosis of end-stage ovarian cancer at age 19—and being sent home to die. Thirty-four years later, she's very much alive and leading a global movement to rethink cancer as a metabolic, terrain-driven disease rather than a purely genetic accident. We talk about how ultra-processed foods don't just starve our mitochondria—they starve our sovereignty, hijack our decision-making, and fracture our relationship with our own bodies. Along the way, Nasha invites us to move away from perfectionism and fragility and toward aligned, values-based choices and fierce self-responsibility. In this episode, we explore: Nasha's "pain to purpose" story Chronic health issues from infancy through adolescence: PCOS, endometriosis, autoimmune issues, RA, IBS, thyroid dysfunction, and more—constantly normalized and medicated. Being diagnosed with end-stage ovarian cancer at 19, with full bowel obstruction, organ failure, metastasis, and "3 months to live." How being sent home to die became the catalyst for asking "Why?" and beginning her life's work. A metabolic and psychological reset Why a prolonged period of fasting (due to bowel obstruction) functioned as an unplanned metabolic intervention. How an accidental very high-dose psilocybin experience in 1991 fundamentally changed her perspective, reduced her fear of death, and gave her a will to live. The insight that cancer is not just genetic—but deeply tied to environment, metabolism, trauma, and disconnection from nature. Cancer as an ecosystem, not a battlefield What Nasha means by seeing the body as an ecosystem instead of a war zone. How we are in constant relationship with our internal and external environments—our bodies, food systems, and the land all reflecting each other. Ultra-processed foods and cancer terrain Why ultra-processed foods are "as genetically mismatched as it gets" for humans. How UPFs impact all the hallmarks of cancer—driving inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and brain hijacking. The role of emulsifiers, preservatives, seed oils, and other additives in damaging the gut, microbiome, and immune surveillance. Why "a little" ultra-processed food isn't neutral for people with a vulnerable system—and why in her oncology population, UPF often has to be all-or-nothing. Metabolic sovereignty vs. perfectionism Nasha's powerful idea that UPFs don't just starve our mitochondria—they starve our sovereignty. What it means to choose health as alignment, not achievement. How social pressure, cultural norms, and "moderation" language rob people of agency. Practical examples of reclaiming sovereignty: bringing your own wine, your own safe foods, and modeling a different way without preaching. Working with food addiction and emotional eating (without shame) How she meets people gently where they are, especially those whose only "comfort" has been food. "Upgrading" comfort foods and using cooking and eating as a creative, relational, and communal act rather than a shame-based one. Her boundary as a clinician: "I'm not willing to work harder than you." How that shifted outcomes and reduced codependency. Community, clinicians, and doing this together How she used farmers' markets and health-food store "field trips" as non-shaming education: reading labels together, swapping recipes, and making it fun. Seasonal group cleanses and experiments that removed UPFs without moralizing and re-connected people to real food. Justice, food deserts, and real solutions Stories from working in Indigenous and low-resource communities and helping reintroduce native seeds and traditional foodways. The Food-as-Medicine movement: projects like FreshRx, where CSA boxes for people with type 2 diabetes significantly lowered A1C and healthcare costs. Why she believes, increasingly, that the resources are there—and the work now is connection, awareness, and community organizing. A hopeful vision for the next 5 years Policy shifts around dietary guidelines and school food. Regenerative agriculture movements, farmer-led organizations, and bringing environmental, metabolic, mental health, and food systems together under one roof. Her dream project: a 1,200-acre regenerative farm, intentional community, and metabolic oncology hospital in Arizona. One small step you can take this week Start with non-judgmental awareness: a simple food and feeling diary. Her "triage" before reaching for UPFs: Big glass of water A bit of protein A bit of fat Then the UPF if you still truly want it—no self-punishment. How small wins ("I didn't eat the thing") build fierceness and confidence over time. Our signature question What Nasha would tell her younger self about ultra-processed foods: "I'm choosing health as alignment, not as achievement." Using food choices to align with who you really are and who you're becoming, rather than chasing perfection or performance.
