Send us a textShort Summary: The science of obesity and appetite regulation, blending genetics and neurobiology with practical insightsAbout the guest: Giles Yeo, PhD is a professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge. He leads a lab studying obesity and appetite regulation.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Nick interviews Dr. Giles Yeo about the genetics and neurobiology of obesity, starting with the discovery of leptin in the obese mouse model, detailing its role in appetite regulation via the hypothalamus, and discussing GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic for weight loss. It delves into how genetic factors, like the leptin-melanocortin pathway, influence hunger, the heritability of body weight, and societal factors driving the obesity epidemic, emphasizing the interplay of biology and environment.Key Takeaways:Leptin, discovered through the obese mouse, signals fat levels to the brain, but its absence causes severe obesity and infertility, as seen in rare human mutations.The hypothalamus, a key brain region, senses hormones like leptin and GLP-1, balancing hunger and satiety through POMC (anorexigenic) and AgRP (orexigenic) neurons.Body weight heritability is 40-70% at the population level, but this does not mean that 40-70% of someone's body fat composition is due to genetic factors outside human control. Dr. Yeo unpacks how to think about it.GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic) mimic gut hormones to reduce appetite, offering some people 15-25% weight loss, but require long-term safety monitoring.According to Dr. Yeo, obesity reflects energy imbalance, but nutritional density matters more than calorie counting for health, and societal changes are needed to prevent it.Related episode:M&M #132: Obesity Epidemic, Diet, Metabolism, Saturated Fat vs. PUFAs, Energy Expenditure, Weight Gain & FeediSupport 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.

He challenges conventional biochemistry with his “leptin prescription” and decentralized health approach.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Jack Kruse joins host Nick Jikomes to explore the Great Oxygenation Event's role in shaping life, linking it to modern health via biophysics over biochemistry. They discuss oxygen's impact on metabolism, the significance of deuterium-depleted water, and sunlight's influence on the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Kruse shares his dramatic weight loss journey using sunlight and cold therapy, critiques modern tech-driven obesity, and unveils a controversial history of SV40 in vaccines, tying it to cancer spikes.Key Takeaways:The Great Oxygenation Event (2.1-2.4 billion years ago) drove life's shift to oxygen-based metabolism, with cyanobacteria as key players.Kruse argues biophysics, not biochemistry, explains evolution, spotlighting light as life's fundamental driver.Deuterium-depleted water is important for enabling our cells and mitochondria to use energy from the TCA cycle without “shocking” the body.Sunlight exposure boosts nitric oxide, reducing food needs via the leptin pathway, challenging diet norms.Kruse lost 133 pounds in 11 months using sunlight and cold therapy, inspiring his “leptin prescription.”He links obesity to indoor tech lifestyles, disrupting heme proteins and mitochondrial function.SV40, a virus in 1950s polio vaccines, may connect to cancer rises, a story Kruse says was buried by centralized science.Related episode:M&M #196: Vaccine Contamination & Fiat Science Support 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.

 You've restricted your calories to the point of hunger, and you're a familiar face at the gym. But you're still struggling with unwanted weight. Could sleep be the answer? Stay tuned to learn more about maintaining a healthy weight by improving your sleep.     I'm Dr.Vickie Petz Kasper. I practiced obstetrics and gynecology for 20 years until I landed on the other side of the sheets as a very sick patient. My health was out of control. My doctor challenged me to make radical changes through lifestyle medicine. Now I feel great and I want to help you make changes that make a difference. Healthy Looks Great On You podcast takes you to mini medical school so you can learn the power of lifestyle medicine. If you're ready to take control of your health, you're in the right  place. Whether you're focused on prevention or you're trying to manage a condition. I'll give you practical steps to start your own journey toward better health because healthy looks great on you.   This is Episode 161 Importance of Sleep and Weight.   It doesn't seem fair. You eat less than others and exercise more, but you've still got an unwanted spare tire around your belly. If you've checked all the boxes and can't figure out what's wrong, maybe it's time to go to bed and get some good quality sleep.  Did you know that there are studies that indicate as much as a 40 to 55 percent increased risk of obesity associated with short duration of sleep and this is true for night shift workers as well. Of course, there are other factors that contribute to excess weight gain, but poor sleep is an often overlooked contributor that keeps you from reaching your healthy weight goals. Despite your best efforts, the risk of metabolic syndrome is increased by three fold by poor sleep. In today's episode, you'll understand the sleep weight connection, assess your current sleep quality, and implement science backed strategies to improve sleep and start making habit changes to your sleep that affect your diet and activity level. Wow! It looks like sleep may be the secret ingredient that ties it all together. Now, am I saying you'll lose weight if you have good quality sleep?  Sorry, but no. But what I am saying is that if you don't sleep well, your chances of struggling with obesity are increased.  And that goes for children as well as adults.  If you missed the previous episodes on sleep in this series, I'll put links in the show notes. And if you want practical steps to help improve your sleep, register for my free live Sleep Masterclass. I'll put a link in the show notes. Because if you improve your sleep, you'll have more energy, improved mood, and maybe an easier time controlling your weight.  If you're worried about the health consequences of belly fat such as type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline, heart disease and depression, then don't get stuck in this cycle of frustration. Struggling, without seeing any progress, takes a toll on your mental health and emotions.  Let's start by going to mini medical school to meet the hormones that control appetite. Gherlin is the hunger hormone. Think of it like a lead foot on the gas pedal going full speed ahead. Leptin is the counter hormone that controls satiety, which is a signal to your brain that you've had enough and you're satisfied. So this one pumps the brakes. Gherlin's job is to tell you, I'm hungry so that you eat. Most of it's produced in cells that line the stomach, which makes perfect sense, that the sensor would be in the gut. It then travels through the bloodstream to the brain, where it turns on receptors in the hypothalamus. Now this is the central control center for hunger. And that stimulates the release of neuropeptide Y which increases appetite and also decreases energy expenditure to conserve calories. Now, levels of ghrelin should rise before a meal and drop off after you fill your belly.  Makes sense, right? But get this, when you don't get enough sleep, even for one night, ghrelin levels increase by around 20%. So, sleepyheads  have a foot on the eating accelerator and experience increased appetite. And here's the deal. It's not an appetite for broccoli. It actually makes you crave calorie dense foods, like cookies.  And when the rhythm of ghrelin levels gets out of whack, you experience hunger at inappropriate times. Kinda like running a red light, except instead of getting a ticket, the needle on the scale is your fine. Not only does this create a situation like so many functions in the body, it creates a cycle. You don't sleep, so your body makes more ghrelin. More ghrelin means more hunger and more cravings. More calories means more weight gain, and guess what that can lead to? Poor sleep quality. Boom. The cycle feeds itself. Pardon the pun.  If I could give you one piece of advice to help arrest this cycle, I'd say you need a regular sleep schedule. And yes, I know it's not easy.  That's why I'm offering a free live sleep masterclass to help you get adequate sleep and maintain normal ghrelin levels to stabilize your hunger.  Just go to my website, www. healthylooksgreatonyou.com and in the search bar, type in free live.  If you're trying to achieve a healthy weight, you absolutely need to eat whole food that's nutrient dense and you need to increase your physical activity. But don't neglect a good night's sleep to balance hunger.  Now, let's pump those brakes and talk about leptin. You probably aren't going to like this, but the word leptin comes from the Greek word leptos meaning thin. And here's the deal, you can be thin and be very unhealthy. So anytime I talk about weight and health, the focus is on health. But the reality is that leptin is secreted by adipose tissue. So the more fat cells you have, the more leptin your body produces. To try and control food intake and like gherlin, it travels through the bloodstream, crosses the blood brain barrier and binds to receptors in the Hunger Center, the hypothalamus, it depresses appetite and increases energy expenditure, which has a big impact on metabolism.  Great. So what I'm saying is that if you have more fat cells, your body will produce more leptin and tell your brain, "Enough is enough." Yeah, but that's only if things are working as designed.  Lack of sleep can reduce leptin levels by 20%. So now you've got a compound effect of 20 percent more hunger hormone and 20 percent less fullness hormone, and you know what's bound to happen. Also, chronic sleep deprivation can contribute to leptin resistance. So that even when levels are normal or even high, the brain's sensitivity is decreased. So now the brain thinks you need more calories. And the drive to eat more calories usually sends you to the pantry for snack foods rather than a craving for fruits and vegetables. This hormone imbalance is a perfect storm for weight gain. All of this is an intricate part of the circadian rhythm. A system in equilibrium relies on consistent, good quality sleep and not getting the Z's you need. may sabotage your weight loss plan.  One tip is to be sure and get morning light exposure. This helps make sure that your internal clock starts working properly. Producing and secreting melatonin at the appropriate times  You see, the whole sleep cycle is regulated by melatonin, and melatonin secretion is controlled by light. So, exposure to light at night suppresses melatonin, and the normal rhythm is thrown out of balance by an irregular sleep schedule. But here's the deal. Melatonin also has an effect on metabolism. Melatonin is released from the pineal gland and it sends signals to the adrenal glands to regulate cortisol. The levels of cortisol are supposed to be highest first thing in the morning when you wake up, and that's why you're hungry. And you should eat a healthy, carbohydrate breakfast like oatmeal.  Levels are supposed to be lowest at night, but a poor sleep pattern can result in elevated cortisol levels in the evening, and that can cause an increased appetite, especially for foods high in fat and sugar. You know, the ones that taste yummy but aren't good for you. And of course, this is associated with increased belly fat, which is terrible for your health. It also interferes with glucose metabolism. And what can happen is a stress eat sleep cycle that is broken is really hard to fix.  But wait, there are even more issues linked to weight and sleep. Sleep deprivation causes your body to be significantly less sensitive to insulin. If you want more information on type 2 diabetes and how insulin works to move sugar out of the bloodstream and into cells where it can be used, I'll put a link in the show notes to that episode. But when the body doesn't respond to insulin, the pancreas responds by cranking out more. This promotes weight gain in general, but belly fat in particular. And it increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.  Another hormone affected by sleep, and important in healthy weight, is growth hormone. Most of it's released during deep sleep, so if your sleep quality is not good, Then you never get to that deep sleep cycle, and therefore your body makes less growth hormone, which promotes fat burning, maintenance of lean muscle mass, and raises metabolism. So, without enough growth hormone, you can maintain the same weight, but your body composition may shift towards a higher percentage of fat and less muscle.  You might want to keep track of your sleep to evaluate how well you're sleeping. And quantity and quality are important. For example, you may sleep 8 hours a night, but if you never get to that deep sleep, then you're not making the growth hormone you need. What can make you do that is alcohol. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it prevents you from getting into that deep sleep. And many sleeping medications do the same thing. So, it's important to focus on not only the quantity, but the quality. But here's the deal, without the quantity, you never get to those five to six cycles of sleep that you need to go through before your body gets into the deep sleep. So, it's all very important. And it may help you to track your sleep to see how you're doing. If you'd like a free sleep tracker blueprint. Then just show up  to my free live sleep masterclass. You can sign up the link in the show notes.    Thyroid hormone levels can be affected by sleep too because of the reduction in Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, which is released from the brain to tell the thyroid gland how much T3 and T4 to make. When thyroid function is low, the metabolic rate slows, fatigue increases, and weight gain can occur.  In one episode, I referred to sleep as the mood mechanic. I'll put a link to that in the show notes as well, but that's because sleep deprivation affects the reward centers in the brain where dopamine lives. And look, we gotta have dopamine in our brains. We'll do anything to increase the levels, and that can result in using food as a way to satisfy the need. In addition, serotonin levels are lowered with poor sleep and that can cause unhealthy carbohydrate cravings. And what about sex hormones? Well, testosterone can decrease by 10 to 15 percent in men due to poor sleep for a week. And this can reduce muscle mass and increase fat storage. And in women, estrogen and progesterone imbalances can occur and that also affects fat storage, especially after menopause. And it also lowers metabolism. If you've tried really hard to lose weight, remember, diet is far more important than anything, including exercise. Of course you need a healthy diet and activity for optimum health, but healthy sleep should also be considered part of a healthy lifestyle.  Good sleep habits means keeping a regular schedule, timing light exposure because that's what controls melatonin secretion and that gets the whole ball of wax rolling, but also having a good environment to sleep. You need a comfortable, uncluttered place to sleep, and think cave, cool, dark, and quiet. And, of course, those screens emit blue light, and that suppresses melatonin secretion and can interfere with your sleep.   Also be mindful of the things that you eat and drink, like caffeine and sugar and salt. All of these things can affect your sleep. But, new habits aren't always easy to form, and old habits aren't always easy to break. If you'd like to learn more, join me for my free sleep masterclass. It'll be live on March 3rd, 5th, and 8th. We'll look at six surprising reasons you're tossing and turning and what to do about them. I'll help you make small, sustainable changes to improve sleep and maintain a healthy weight. Because healthy looks great on you.    RESOURCES: Free Live Masterclass - 6 Surprising Reasons You're Tossing and Turning The Risky Business of Poor Sleep Sleeping Pills and Potions The Mood Mechanic - sleep Sobriety and Sleep with Casey Davidson Type 2 Diabetes Why is Sleeping So Hard The information contained in this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not considered to be a substitute for medical advice.

Episode 2604 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the return of CICO, hormones and eating, yoga and pilates, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/the-return-of-cico-episode-2604 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - The Return of CICO Vinnie has been getting a lot of questions lately regarding restricting and tracking calories. (2:00) Does CICO (Calories In Calories Out) work? (5:00) Short answer: yes. But why do it? It is a form of restriction and the best way of losing weight is through controlling your hormones, which can be done without tracking every calorie. (13:00) You can control aspects of your hormones through lifestyle and eating. Eating correctly and avoiding processed junk helps control insulin, ghrelin, leptin. Insulin regulates blood glucose. Ghrelin is the hormone that signals hunger. Leptin signals when you are full. Cortisol responds to stress and can cause weight gain. Vinnie explains how “resistance” develops. (30:00) Vinnie mentions he had a consultation where a caller's life coach joined in the conversation. (39:00) Anna loves this idea! Getting the extra help, if you can do it, could be beneficial. ALSO: You can invest in Eat Happy Kitchen through her website and StartEngine. (18:30) Details are at Eat Happy Kitchen. Yoga/Pilates 101 What about yoga, Pilates, & stretching as forms of exercise? Vinnie loves yoga because it can stretch your muscles and joints, but it is not necessarily great for strength training. (43:00) Reformer Pilates is a great anaerobic exercise and great for strength. Don't rush through the exercises. Take your time and do it right. It should kick your ass, but not put you in pain. Stretching is good for muscles and joints, but doesn't count towards strength training. More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

How to Lose Weight without Workouts. You might think the only reason why you gain weight is overeating, but in fact it can also be the result of your hormones being all out of whack. Triggers like stress, age, genes, and poor lifestyle choices can cause a hormonal imbalance that leads to weight problems. To get the perfect body and keep it slim and slender, you have to follow our simple tips and keep 9 hormones under control. Thyroid hormones 0:45 The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck. It produces the hormones T3, T4, and calcitonin, which are responsible for maintaining the body's metabolism. If the thyroid doesn't produce enough of these hormones, a condition called hypothyroidism, the result is often weight gain. To keep it under control, consume iodized salt (or seaweed if you're on a low-salt diet). Avoid processed foods. Take vitamin D supplements. Consume foods rich in zinc like oysters and pumpkin seeds. Insulin 1:32 Overconsuming processed foods, unhealthy snacks, alcohol, or artificially sweetened drinks can cause the body to develop a resistance to insulin. This means that muscle cells won't recognize glucose-bound insulin, so all that extra glucose remains in the bloodstream where it doesn't belong. This causes a spike in blood sugar levels, leading to weight gain and Type 2 diabetes. To avoid it, consume lots of leafy greens and seasonal fruits and veggies. Eat foods full of omega-3 fatty acids. Drink at least a gallon of water every day. Exercise a minimum of 4 hours a week. Testosterone 3:45 Testosterone is often considered a strictly male hormone, but it's produced in women too. It helps burn fat, strengthen the bones and muscles, and improve the libido. Age and high stress can cause a significant decrease in testosterone levels in women, leading to a loss of bone density and muscle mass. Work-out regularly and focus on muscle-building exercises. It helps boost testosterone levels. Avoid alcohol. Take protein supplements. Get enough fiber in your diet with the help of whole-grain foods, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseed. Leptin 6:39 Leptin is a hormone that keeps the body's energy levels balanced by keeping hunger at bay. But when we eat food rich in sugar, the oversupply of fructose gets converted to fat that gets deposited in the liver, belly, and other regions of the body. It's these very fat cells that secrete leptin. With high leptin levels, the brain stops receiving signals that the body doesn't need to eat at a particular moment. Avoid sugary foods. Have no more than 3 servings of fruit per day. Consume dark green leafy veggies. Avoid processed food. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/...

Circadian Biology Part 1: Our Internal Clock That Runs With The Earth is The Most Powerful Thing For Our Health | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 68 Circadian Biology Part 1: Our Internal Clock That Runs With The Earth is The Most Powerful Thing For Our Health Key Takeaways: Importance of Circadian Biology: Essential for overall health and well-being. Internal clocks in the body, brain, heart, and liver require daily resetting via natural light exposure. Role of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN): Acts as the master clock and needs daily resetting through photoentrainment (exposure to natural light, especially at sunrise). Organ and Tissue Clocks: The body has approximately 20,000 to 25,000 clocks influenced primarily by light and food intake. Circadian mismatches can lead to health problems. Impact of Meal Timing: Meal timing can shift circadian rhythms in body temperature and heart rate. Eating during light cycles and finishing meals shortly after sunset is crucial for health. Leptin and Its Importance: Leptin regulates hunger and energy metabolism. Resetting leptin levels involves watching sunrise, avoiding snacking, and eating a large breakfast early. The Four-Hour Rule for Leptin: Finish eating at least four hours before sleeping to allow leptin to enter the brain and initiate sleep and hormonal processes. Positive Attitude: A positive mindset is vital for health improvements. Always seek to improve your knowledge and question mainstream health beliefs. Welcome to the start of my Circadian biology webinars. Part 1 is one of my free webinars, and parts 2-4 is part of my premium webinars. ON the podcast I will share a part of the premium webinars.

Why is there always room for dessert? This hormone is to blame.

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Josh and Jeanne to talk about a big shift they've made over the past 20 years in how they approach healing. Too often, practitioners jump straight into blood tests before even discussing your lifestyle, but we're going to explore why that might be missing a critical piece of the puzzle. Josh and Jeannie share how they now prioritize understanding their clients as a whole person, and how this approach influences the health plans they create. We also dive into the importance of lifestyle, quantum health, and circadian rhythms—and why lab results aren't always the first thing you should look at when trying to improve your health.

This is the third and final top episode of 2024 I wanted to share with you all. Happy New Year and enjoy this amazing conversation with Sarah Kleiner! - I jump at any chance I get to listen, learn and converse with an expert in the area of circadian and quantum health. Luckily, one of my favorite educators in this domain, Sarah Kleiner, was available to sit down for an engaging chat. Sarah is phenomenal at breaking down rather complex subjects and lucidly explaining the "low hanging fruit" of quantum health with such simplicity, even a cave man could do it! Yes, pun intended. In today's conversation, we cover an array of topics ranging from morning routines and sun exposure to the importance of eating breakfast and leptin sensitivity to red light therapy's impact on wellness to the role of mitochondria in quantum health to a relatively new theory showing that deuterium-depleted water may be a more important end-product of oxidative phosphorylation than ATP (yes, that token of energy)... and much, much more!Sarah Kleiner is a Quantum Health Coach with the Quantum Biology Collective (levels 1 & 2), a Certified Nutrition Coach with NASM, and just completed the New Biology Curriculum with Dr. Tom Cowan. Sarah has over 14 years of experience working one on one with clients to optimize nutrition, lifestyle & mindset. Her goal is to shift the paradigm when it comes to circadian rhythms, health & light, and help people integrate these principles into their lives in a modern world. As I mention in this episode, Sarah has a monumental archive of quantum and circadian health education on her Instagram feed (@sarahkleinerwellness) that you could spend days and days sifting through and learning to your heart's content.... which I highly, highly recommend you do. She also has amazing free education and deeper dives via her courses that can be found on her website (link can be found in the podcast show notes).I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Sarah Kleiner.

While there are exceptions, it's very common for people with hyperthyroidism to experience an increase in appetite. When I dealt with Graves' disease, I had a voracious appetite. On the other hand, those with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's tend to experience a reduced appetite.A number of factors impact appetite regulation and hunger cues, and thyroid health plays a big role. Today, I'm sharing why thyroid hormones matter when it comes to appetite and satiety and why it's essential to address the underlying causes rather than focus on symptoms.In this episode, you'll learn about:- Leptin's role in satiety and ghrelin's role in stimulating hunger- Insulin's interaction with brain receptors- How thyroid hormones influence appetite and mood- Why chronic inflammation in autoimmune conditions can dampen appetite- Other common causes of appetite changes- How addressing nutrient deficiencies can help to normalize appetite- Strategies for addressing thyroid hormone imbalancesAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/appetite-changes-and-thyroid-health/appetite-changes-and-thyroid-health/.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?

In this episode, Ellie delves into the complexities of sugar and food addiction, exploring both the biochemical and emotional components that drive these behaviors. She discusses the roles of hormones like leptin and insulin in regulating hunger and satiety, and provides practical strategies for managing blood sugar levels to reduce cravings. The conversation also highlights the emotional drivers behind food choices and the importance of mindful eating in breaking free from unhealthy patterns.takeaways Sugar addiction is influenced by both biochemical and emotional factors. Leptin is crucial for signaling satiety to the brain. Balancing blood sugar is key to reducing cravings. Eating protein with every meal can help stabilize blood sugar. Processed foods can create a cycle of cravings and overeating. Mindful eating practices can improve satiety and reduce binge eating. Emotional pain often drives food addiction behaviors. Understanding the root causes of cravings is essential for recovery. Incorporating healthy fats can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Episode 179: Impact of intermittent fasting Impact on T2DMFuture Dr. Carlisle explains the physiology of fasting and how it can help revert type 2 diabetes. Dr. Arreaza adds details on how to do intermittent fasting. Written by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD, FAAFP.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.What is type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)?-Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and impaired glucose regulation. -This impaired regulation can lead to hyperglycemia, contributing to complications in a myriad of organs: heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, etc. (target organs). According to the CDC, more than 38 million Americans have T2DM (about 1/10 people). -Multiple mechanisms are believed to contribute to insulin resistance in obese patients with T2DM, such as increased lipid deposition throughout the body and systemic inflammation.What is Intermittent Fasting (IF)? Intermittent fasting (IF) has recently gained popularity as a dietary approach for health benefits, but it has been around for thousands of years. IF is an eating pattern that alternates between eating and fasting (no calories consumed) over a specific period of time. When you are fasting, you are allowed and encouraged to keep drinking water and non-caloric drinks, like coffee, tea, and even homemade bone broth.-According to the International Food Information Council Foundation (IFIC), 10% of Americans engage in IF daily. -According to Mark Mattson, a neuroscientist and IF expert for over 25 years, a mechanism called “metabolic switching” is seen with IF. This is when your body runs out of glucose and starts burning fat (i.e., fatty oxidation). These metabolic changes can help protect your organs and reduce the risk of chronic conditions, like T2DM. Common IF methods: Time-restricted eating: Most common method, involves eating within a specific time frame (e.g., the 16:8, 18:6, 12:12 method is also common.  [16:8 means you have 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating.]Alternate-day fasting: Alternating between fasting days and normal eating days.  [Find more info in The Complete Guide to Fasting, by Jason Fung, who is a nephrologist, he explains that alternate-day is basically eating every other day, which would give 36 hours of fasting, but if you are a beginner you can try a 24 hours fasting, in short, not eating breakfast any day of the week and having lunch 4 days a week, and dinner every night.]5:2 diet (aka periodic fasting): Maintaining a normal diet for 5 days, with 2 days (usually non-consecutive) of caloric restriction (25% of normal caloric intake; e.g., 500 calorie meal). IF is strongly believed to improve metabolic health in individuals with T2DM by reducing insulin resistance via increasing insulin sensitivity, promoting weight loss (patients with obesity and DM… AKA patients with diabesity), and enhancing lipolysis via fat oxidation.While fasting, the body goes through several phases that affect how energy is metabolized. Between 0 and 4 hours after eating, the body enters a feeding state, using glucose as its main energy source. After fasting for 12-16 hours, the body enters ketosis and starts to use fat for energy. Within 24-36 hours, autophagy begins, a process that recycles damaged cells and allows for cellular repair. This process can have great benefits for people with T2DM, such as improved insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation. Pathophysiology of Implementing IF in T2DM. -IF is thought to increase insulin sensitivity by decreasing fatty tissue in the body (i.e., visceral adipose tissue), which is correlated to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is defined as higher than normal circulating insulin levels needed for a glucose lower response, which is thought to be the culprit for the generation of T2DM. It means you need high levels of insulin to keep glucose normal. -Obesity is an important risk factor for T2DM. Visceral adipose tissue functions as an organ via the secretion of adipokines (cytokines or cellular messengers produced by adipose tissue): leptin and adiponectin. Leptin: proinflammatory, leading to chronic inflammation. Patients with higher BMI levels and increased insulin resistance were found to have increased leptin levels.[Leptin is a good hormone at normal levels, but there is leptin resistance] Adiponectin: anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects. Higher adiponectin levels result in decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis, enhanced glucose absorption, and enhanced skeletal muscle and hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Levels drop as visceral fat increases. -Dr. López-Jaramillo, a Colombian endocrinologist and researcher, and colleagues published a review in 2014 examining the imbalance in the levels of leptin and adiponectin in individuals with metabolic syndrome. This imbalance (increase in leptin and decrease in adiponectin) is linked to obesity and insulin resistance, which has been shown to increase the risk of T2DM. It has been shown that IF has resulted in the reduction of leptin levels and increased levels of adiponectin, which leads to decreased insulin resistance and increased insulin sensitivity. -IF allows pancreatic beta-cells to rest by not having to secrete insulin constantly. This allows the beta-cells of the pancreas to improve in function over time. In addition, IF has been shown to lead to noticeable weight loss and loss in body fat, both of which play an important contribution in managing T2DM. Research demonstrates that this weight loss increases insulin sensitivity and decreases the need for insulin therapy, making IF a powerful approach for improving metabolic health. AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) and Its Role in IF and T2DM Recent research has highlighted an important enzyme seen in IF, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which plays a vital role as an important energy sensor in cells. It is activated when cellular energy levels are low, such as during IF. A 2020 research study in Nature Reviews Endocrinology explains that activation of AMPK aids in suppressing gluconeogenesis and stimulates fatty acid oxidation, leading to optimal energy balance and reduction of visceral adipose tissue accumulation, a major contributor to insulin resistance and T2DM progression. AMPK is upregulated during fasting, which enhances glucose metabolism and reduces insulin resistance. This is imperative in managing T2DM, as it counters the effects of insulin resistance associated with T2DM.Exercise, which also promotes AMPK activation, complements IF and can promote a synergistic effect in improving insulin sensitivity and promoting fat burning, New Research Findings on IF and T2DM -The EARLY (Exploration of Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Overweight/Obese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) study is a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Network Open (2024). Findings In this randomized clinical trial study found that a time-restricted eating window significantly improved fasting glucose levels and HbA1c levels in individuals with T2DM. The study examined the effect of a 16-week 5:2 meal replacement (5:2 MR) fasting plan that consisted of five days of normal eating and 2 days, nonconsecutive of restricted diet (500-600 calories). This group was examined alongside a group of patients who took metformin 0.5 g BID and empagliflozin 10 mg QD. The study wanted to investigate the changes in HbA1c in Chinese adults with early T2DM.-The study was a randomized clinical trial of 405 adults, and a study showed that the 5:2 MR approach led to better glycemic control at 16 weeks compared to the counter treatments with metformin and empagliflozin. The 5:2 MR group had the greatest reduction in HbA1c (-1.9%), followed by metformin (-1.6%), and empagliflozin (-1.5%). The 5:2 MR plan also revealed the greatest weight loss (-9.7 kg), followed by empagliflozin (-5.8 kg), and metformin (-5.5 kg). -This research suggests IF, such as 5:2 MR, can be a powerful tool in the management of T2DM and improving metabolic health. This study can potentially open doors for healthcare providers to provide the 5:2 MR approach for individuals as an effective initial lifestyle intervention. However, follow-up studies are needed to assess the effectiveness and durability of the 5:2 MR.Safety and Risks of IF in T2DM. -IF when combined with glucose-lowering medications (e.g., insulin, sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agonists) can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Also, prolonged fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies if not planned carefully. Patients should be counseled on maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet during non-fasting days. -IF is not suitable for everyone. Children under the age of 18 should not try IF due to needing proper calories for adequate development and proper growth. Also, it is recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women do not undergo IF. It is advised that people with eating disorders should not try IF. -Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as kidney stones or gastroesophageal disease should speak with their doctor before trying IF. Also, patients on insulin or other glucose-lowering medications should adjust their dose and talk with their healthcare providers to prevent hypoglycemia during fasting. It is recommended that each person speak with their doctor to discuss the safety and risks of IF and see if it would benefit the individual before starting IF. -Many studies have explored the benefits of IF at the micro level revealing its cellular benefits and on a macro level of the body as a whole. However, more research is needed to confirm the long-term effects of IF on glycemic control and its sustainability as a therapeutic approach for T2DM. Conclusion:-IF shows potential for improving glycemic control, promoting weight loss, and enhancing metabolic health in individuals with T2DM. Despite its benefits, IF may present with risks, such as hypoglycemia, nutrition deficiencies, or dehydration in certain patients. Therefore, it may not be suitable for all individuals. It's important to monitor patients who engage in IF, especially for patients with T2DM. Patients should follow up with their doctor for individualized IF plans in patients with T2DM. ______________This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Cameron Carlisle.

Let me dive deep into the world of leptin resistance – this episode is all about unraveling its mystery. Why? It's clear that leptin resistance isn't just a buzzword; it's a pivotal factor in weight gain and metabolic health. Leptin, the hormone responsible for signaling satiety, can become ineffective when our bodies develop a resistance to it, leading to persistent hunger and, inevitably, weight gain. In this episode I'm here to walk you through it. And did you know leptin resistance is highly interconnected with other conditions like hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. It's not something that pops up in everyday health conversations, but it's a crucial piece of the wellness puzzle, especially for those battling weight and metabolic issues. I'll cover it all – from understanding how leptin functions and its impact on hunger to bone health, immune function, and even mood... then what are the actionable treatments that can help...like microdosing GLP's, thyroid support, stress management and getting proper sleep. Jump in and let's explore how managing leptin resistance could be the key to unlocking a healthier, more balanced life.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, we explore leptin resistance, a condition as prevalent as insulin resistance, affecting appetite control and weight management. Learn about its causes, effects, and strategies to combat it, including lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Leptin's Role: Leptin is a hormone from fat cells that regulates appetite by signaling the brain to stop eating. Leptin and Insulin Resistance: Both are interconnected, often leading to weight gain and metabolic issues. Impact on Appetite: Leptin resistance means the brain doesn't receive signals to stop eating, leading to overeating. Lifestyle Solutions: Cold exposure and dietary changes can help reverse leptin resistance. Emotional Eating: Emotional connections to food can exacerbate leptin resistance and weight gain. FEATURED PRODUCT Berberine Plus is highlighted for its ability to lower leptin levels and improve insulin sensitivity, crucial for addressing leptin resistance as discussed in this episode.

"It's not that we have non-responders. It's that we have unrealistic expectations." - 00:20:38A Personal Insight from Greece: Aligning Your Environment with Your Energy Dr. Novitsky begins by sharing a story from her trip to Greece, where the simplicity of her surroundings inspired her to declutter her home. This serves as a metaphor for aligning one's environment with their energy and current needs. Common Concerns About GLP-1 Agonists Dr. Novitsky discusses why people often struggle with GLP-1 agonists. Two main reasons stand out: confusion over how to balance medication with nutrition and exercise, often accompanied by shame, and the belief that they are "non-responders" to the medication. How a Nutrition Audit Can Help For those who feel they are non-responders, Dr. Novitsky introduces the concept of a nutrition audit. By tracking food intake without changes for a week, clients can gather data on calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and added sugars. This helps uncover what might be hindering progress. The Importance of Caloric Deficits and BMR Dr. Novitsky explains that GLP-1 agonists don't guarantee weight loss. Weight loss still requires a caloric deficit, which means consuming fewer calories than one's basal metabolic rate (BMR). Many mistakenly believe they're in a deficit when they're not, leading to frustration. Leptin Resistance and Weight Loss Struggles The episode dives into leptin resistance, a condition that can make weight loss harder, even when someone is consuming fewer calories. Leptin plays a role in hunger and metabolism, and resistance to it may be a reason some struggle with weight loss. Patience and Realistic Expectations Dr. Novitsky stresses patience when using GLP-1 agonists, explaining that weight loss varies by individual. Inflammation, body composition, and initial body fat all play a role in determining how quickly one may lose weight. She advises setting realistic goals to avoid discouragement. Looking Ahead Dr. Novitsky wraps up by encouraging listeners to reflect on their own journey, asking them to consider if any of the factors discussed apply to their experience. She teases upcoming episodes that will provide further insights into GLP-1 agonists and weight loss strategies.

Sarah Kleiner is a coach in applied quantum biology and a circadian health expert. Sarah tried nearly every diet, from vegan and vegetarian to carnivore and beyond until finally understanding the root cause of her chronic inflammation and infertility. She used a combination of lifestyle and therapeutic interventions including healing from low leptin levels, watching the sunrise and being outside as much as possible, blocking artificial light, eating seasonally, and so much more, to accomplish optimal health. It was such a joy to pick Sarah's brain on leptin resistance- what it is, how to test for it, and the role it plays in weight loss resistance.  WHAT WE DISCUSSED: [6:40]- How the carnivore diet temporarily healed Sarah's inflammation until she learned how to heal the root cause of her symptoms.  [19:12]- What is leptin resistance? What is the difference between treating high leptin and low leptin?  [31:48]- What does Sarah cover in her 21 Day Leptin Reset Program? What are her thoughts on blue light and blue light blocking glasses?  [42:34]- How do seasonal diets tend to be most effective when practiced in alignment with the corresponding season and sunlight patterns?  [53:20]- What benefits has Sarah observed since using the hydrogen machine?  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:  I absolutely love my bedding and find myself frequently reaching for my clothing from Cozy Earth!

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Zachary Knight, Ph.D., a professor of physiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator. We discuss how the brain controls our sense of hunger, satiety, and thirst. He explains how dopamine levels impact our cravings and eating behavior (amount, food choices, etc) and how we develop and can change our food preferences and adjust how much we need to eat to feel satisfied. We discuss factors that have led to the recent rise in obesity, such as interactions between our genes and the environment and the role of processed foods and food combinations. We also discuss the new class of drugs developed for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, including the GLP-1 agonists semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). We discuss how these drugs work to promote weight loss, the source of their side effects, and the newer compounds soon to overcome some of those side effects, such as muscle loss. Dr. Knight provides an exceptionally clear explanation for our sense of hunger, thirst, and food cravings that translates to practical knowledge to help listeners better understand their relationship to food, food choices, and meal size to improve their diet and overall health.
