Why do so many women hit their 40s and suddenly feel like their bodies are falling apart? From exhaustion and weight gain to joint pain, brain fog, and disrupted sleep, midlife can feel like a slow unraveling, and for many, it's blamed on menopause. But what if it's not just your hormones? What if the symptoms we associate with menopause are only part of a much bigger picture? One that includes rising inflammation, stress, and disrupted recovery, catching up all at once? What if understanding how menopause interacts with these other changes could give women more control over their health, not less? This is where the concept of inflammaging comes in, and it might be the missing link in how we care for women in midlife. In this episode, Dr. Wendy Sweet, PhD, researcher and women's health expert, breaks down a radically more nuanced (and empowering) view of the menopause transition. Menopause is actually an inflammatory phase of life, and its effects can be addressed with lifestyle interventions. Before we even consider Hormone Replacement Therapy, there are changes we can make with diet, movement, and sleep. Through decades of research and work with thousands of women, Dr. Sweet has uncovered what most people miss: You can feel better if you adjust your habits to match the life stage you're in.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Menopause or inflammation “Inflammaging” is the hidden force behind the fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and gut issues menopausal women experience. How do we slow it down?  -Why your body might feel like it's falling apart after 40 What physiological changes happen beneath the surface, and how do you adapt to them? -Rethinking the HRT-first approach Before turning to hormone therapy, what if we changed our sleep, stress, and nutrition?  -One-size-fits-all advice doesn't work What your body needs at 45 isn't what it needs at 52. How do you tailor your movement, food, and recovery to your life phase?    Guest Bio Dr. Wendy Sweet, PhD, is a global leader in women's healthy ageing and the founder of My Menopause Transformation, an evidence-based online coaching programme that has helped thousands of women worldwide navigate menopause with clarity, health, and confidence. With a doctorate in women's healthy ageing, a Master's in lifestyle behaviour change, and a background in nursing, exercise science, and nutrition, Wendy brings a unique, holistic perspective to midlife health. She was a pioneer in New Zealand's personal training industry with Les Mills International and later became a university lecturer, equipping her with both the academic and real-world expertise to challenge outdated menopause paradigms. Having personally struggled through her own menopause transition, Wendy now dedicates her work to educating and empowering women to thrive, not just survive, this powerful life stage.

Dr. Rekha Kumar, Chief Medical Officer at Found, is focused on weight care, not just weight management, to provide personalized medical care. GLP-1 medications have changed the landscape of obesity treatment, providing doctors with more effective tools for patients, but they don't work for everyone. With this telehealth approach, patients engage with the platform to determine a tailored treatment plan based on each patient's unique biology, lifestyle, and history. There is also an increased stigma around obesity due to the availability of GLP-1s, reinforcing the need for new medications and approaches based on real-world outcomes.   Rekha explains, "I would say the way GLP-1s have changed this entire field of medicine is that doctors now feel like they have a tool that works that they can offer their patients. Although GLP-1s don't work perfectly in everybody, and there may be people who don't respond well to them for decades or longer than decades, doctors felt like all they could tell patients was to eat less and exercise more. Even when doctors said that, I think they felt like what they were offering wasn't very useful. Now, an actual tool, or a class of medicine, can be very effective for patients."   "I am looped into the conversation on stigma. In some ways, it's been helpful to that conversation in the sense that people like Oprah have come out and said that now she realizes biology is involved in body weight control and that thin people are wired differently. They don't have as much of a preoccupation with food or noise." "In some ways, it's reduced the stigma by bringing attention to the role of biology and hormones that contribute to our body weight that we don't have control of. Unfortunately, now that there is this tool that's so powerful, some would say that it's made weight stigma worse because if somebody chooses not to take this medicine, they're judged for not wanting to be thin."  #JoinFound #WeightCare #WeightManagment #Obesity #GLP1 joinfound.com Download the transcript here

Section 1: Introduction (0:00 - 5:30) Dr. Valentin Fuster introduces a special issue on Prevention, covering societal and individual prevention aspects and key cardiovascular risk factors. He highlights issues like medication adherence, obesity, and the need for better education and healthcare systems. Section 2: Prevention in Society (5:30 - 35:30) Adherence to Medications The PURE trial shows low medication adherence (31% at follow-up) across 17 countries, despite technological advancements in diagnostics. Barriers include low health literacy and inadequate healthcare systems. Social Determinants of Health Social deprivation leads to worse cardiovascular outcomes, especially among sexual minorities in the U.S. The editorial calls for more equitable healthcare access and anti-stigma efforts. Environmental Factors: Aircraft Noise Higher aircraft noise exposure is linked to worse heart health, urging noise reduction policies for vulnerable populations. Section 3: Prevention in Individuals (35:30 - 55:30) Sedentary Behavior Even with exercise, high sedentary time (over 10.6 hours a day) increases cardiovascular risk. Reducing sedentary time can significantly lower heart disease risk. Intensive Lifestyle Interventions for Diabetes Weight loss and lifestyle changes improve cardiac biomarkers and reduce cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes patients. Section 4: Risk Factor Impacts (55:30 - 1:10:00) Hyperlipidemia & Obesity Hyperlipidemia and obesity management, including medications like semaglutide, play key roles in preventing cardiovascular disease. The 2024 ESC hypertension guidelines are also crucial in risk reduction.

JACC Associate Editor Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD speaks with author Ambarish Pandey, MD about the LookAHEAD trial published in JACC and presented at AHA. Among adults with T2D and overweight/obesity in the Look Action for Health in Diabetes (AHEAD) trial, an intensive lifestyle intervention targeting weight loss led to sustained reductions in hs-cTnT at 1- and 4-year follow-up, and a rise in NT-proBNP at 1 year that attenuated at 4 years. After accounting for baseline biomarker levels and baseline and changes in risk factors, longitudinal increase in NT-proBNP was associated with higher risk of ASCVD and incident HF. In contrast, increase in hs-cTnT was significantly associated with ASCVD but not incident HF.

In this episode, Dr.Jockers dives into the incredible health benefits of fasting and the powerful concept of using food as medicine. Over the last 50 years, our eating habits have dramatically shifted, leading to overeating and late-night food consumption, which pose significant health risks.   He is joined by Dr. Joseph Antoun, a visionary behind L-Nutra Inc., a company dedicated to longevity and food as medicine. Together, they explore the science behind fasting, its historical context, and its profound effects on metabolism, weight management, and cellular rejuvenation. Dr. Antoun shares fascinating insights into the development of the Fasting Mimicking Diet by L-Nutra and its potential to reverse biological age, support immune function, and contribute to a healthier life.   Their discussion covers the specific applications of fasting and nutrition technologies in addressing chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, and obesity, underscoring the importance of balanced nutrition and strategic fasting in improving health and extending longevity.

When it comes to hormone optimization, one-size-fits-all approaches and over-reliance on standardized labs are not the answer. In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I chop it up with Dr. Jordan Grant. Dr. Grant is a board-certified urologist with more than 12 years of experience treating conditions like testicular dysfunction, hypogonadism, and testicular hypofunction. He is also the owner of Grant Hormone and Wellness.In today's conversation, we cover a wide range of topics around men's health.Dr. Grant shares his insights on why mainstream medicine often falls short in addressing crucial aspects of our well-being, the lessons learned early on that ignited his passion for hormone optimization, and his trial-and-error approach to finding what works best for his clients.We also talk about why labs are not the end-all-be-all for optimizing hormones, whether lifestyle interventions are enough to boost testosterone levels, his philosophy on prescribing peptides, and why he's not a fan of weight loss drugs.Finally, we touch on urination frequency and why getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom may actually be perfectly healthy.Connect with Dr. Grant:Website: https://www.granthormone.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TRTandHormoneOptimizationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hormoneoptimization/As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

This episode is dedicated to clarification of a podcast between Joe Rogan and Max Lugavere, two popular influencers that have a large audience. They discussed Alzheimer's disease and brain health in general and some of the information that was shared was not accurate, which can be really harmful. This is by no means an attack on Rogan or Lugavere. After listening to the conversation, we think Lugavere may not be quite familiar with the data regarding brain health, and it would be important to set the record straight and share the evidence with people and let them decide what's best for them. Having seen thousands of patients with dementia, whether it's Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobe dementia, Lewy Body Dementia and others, we feel it's our responsibility to share evidence based data as opposed to feel-good, self confirming anecdotes.

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Paleovalley.It's true: getting older is inevitable, and our chronological age can only move in one direction. But we also have a biological age, which scientists can measure by assessing how our genes are expressed through epigenetics.On today's mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald to talk about the exciting new research that shows our biological age can actually move in reverse and her groundbreaking clinical trial that proved it's possible.Dr. Fitzgerald received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. She is the host of the New Frontiers in Functional Medicine podcast, is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine, and is an Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioner. Her study Potential Reversal of Epigenetic Age Using a Diet and Lifestyle Intervention is the first of its kind to show biological age reversal in humans.In this episode we dive into:-The top three things you can do to age in reverse -Why stress is one of the biggest drivers of aging -How much of our genetic makeup is set in stone -How epigenetics is involved in cellular aging -DNA methylation and how it powerfully influences epigenetic expression -Zombie cells and aging -Dr. Fitzgerald's study for aging in reverse and the protocol followed by the participants Listen to the full episode here.For more on Dr. Fitzgerald, follow her on Instagram @drkarafitzgerald, Facebook @drkarafitzgerald, Twitter @kfitzgeraldnd, YouTube @karafitzgeraldnd, and through her website, drkarafitzgerald.com.

What can queen bees teach us about epigenetics? And what do polyphenols, stress, and sunlight have in common? Hint: it has to do with longevity science. To mark our exciting paper on the Potential Reversal of Epigenetic Age Using a Diet and Lifestyle Intervention we are hosting a series of podcasts focused on the science of epigenetics and longevity, and kick things off with talented researcher and Stanford lecturer, Dr. Lucia Aronica. Dr. Aronica is a passionate advocate of lifestyle medicine and is currently leading the epigenetic analysis for the largest randomized clinical trial in the field of personalized nutrition on low carb vs. low fat diets. Fascinating work! With her rich international research experience in nutritional epigenetics, Dr. Aronica guides us through the mechanics of epigenetics and epigenetic aging, the importance of hormesis, and the powerful epigenetic language of lifestyle interventions, including epinutrients. Join me in this fascinating conversation and find out what you can do right now to optimize longevity. Listen, learn, share -- leave us a comment – I'd love to know what you think! ~DrKF

Guidelines, prescribing information and patient websites alike all say that lifestyle interventions are the first line of treatment for diabetes, and that pharmacotherapies should be considered as adjunct therapies alongside these. But there is currently no consensus on what these lifestyle interventions should actually be. Should they include a specific diet, exercise type or exercise frequency? In another Unanswered Questions episode, we speak to Professor Jaakko Tuomilehto of the University of Helsinki for his advice on this area of unmet clinical need.

Dr. Joseph Lamb is the owner of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Clinic by Metagenics in Gig Harbor, Washington. He works in partnership with his patients to create optimal health and well-being by using Functional Medicine approaches including lifestyle modification, herbal and nutritional supplementation, cognitive therapy and care that considers the soul as part of the whole picture of health.Dr. Lamb has an impressive resume: He's double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Holistic /Integrative Medicine and is a Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. He has lectured internationally, co-authored a text book on vascular biology and published numerous academic papers outlining his work as the principal investigator in over 75 clinical trials. Dr. Lamb spent 4 years in Tennessee at the Hypertension Institute and 17 years of private practice at the Integrative Medicine Works in Virginia. He's also the Principal Investigator of LIFEHOUSE, a Lifestyle Intervention and Functional Evaluation Health Outcomes Survey.   Needless to say, this man knows a thing or two about the human body. However, it's his consideration of the spiritual component of life that sets him apart from others in his field. Dr. Lamb's work in medicine and his upbringing in the Catholic Church have continued to guide him towards a vocation of service, helping people uncover their unique purpose, motivation and mission, which as a result, propels them towards greater health, longevity and quality of life.In this conversation, he helps us redefine what it means to be ‘healthy' or ‘live well'—a standard much higher than the absence of disease and one that takes into account cognitive, emotional, physical, metabolic and behavioral aspects. The latter being what he describes as the outer expression of the other four categories.Plus, we suss out a statement that had me lying on the floor for hours afterwards contemplating my life path. Dr. Lamb says, “One of the biggest obstacles on the journey of achieving full wellness is the brokenness of our dreams." The role that our unrealized childhood dreams or goals for our lives plays into our ability to reach our full potential of energy, joy, service and health.Dr. Joseph Lamb's WebsiteSupport the show (https://featheredpipe.com/gratitude/)

I denne episode har jeg inviteret personlig træner og klinisk diætist Dina Chirstiansen ind i podcasten til en snak om slankekure og slankemidler. Mange ved efterhånden at en slankekur ikke er en hensigtsmæssig måde at opnå et vægttab på. At over 90% tager de tabte kilo på igen (og nogen flere kilo). Alligevel hopper flertallet på en ny kur når vi ser en, særligt i januar. Så hvordan formår vi egentlig at holde os skeptiske overfor nye slankekure? Hvordan lærer vi at forholde os kritiske overfor producenter af slankemidler, der igennem misinformerende retorik, forsøger at sælge os deres nyeste produkt? Det forsøger Dina og jeg at svare på i dette afsnit, hvor vi stiller os kritiske overfor slankeindustrien.Kilder: I et studie fra 2012 konkluderes det, at ved både personlige konsultationer og gruppeforløb, kunne hjælpe 40% til at bibeholde et vægttab på over 10% i 8 år (1).Yoyovægt kan medføre fysiologiske konsekvenser som højere fedtprocent og lavere muskelmasse (2).1: The Look Ahead Reseach Group, 2017: The Look AHEAD Research Group, 2017: The Look AHEAD Study: A Description of the Lifestyle Intervention and the Evidence Supporting It (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2613279/pdf/nihms-81751.pdf [10.12.20]).2: Thorpe, M.: Healthline.com. 10 Solid Reasons Why Yo-Yo Dieting Is Bad for You.

Interview with John M. Jakicic, PhD, author of Effect of Wearable Technology Combined With a Lifestyle Intervention on Long-term Weight Loss: The IDEA Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with short- and long-term health problems among mothers and their offspring. There is a strong need for effective intervention strategies targeting excessive GWG to prevent adverse outcomes. Methods: We performed a cluster-randomized controlled intervention trial in eight gynecological practices evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention presented to all pregnant women; 250 healthy, pregnant women were recruited for the study. The intervention program consisted of two individually delivered counseling sessions focusing on diet, physical activity, and weight monitoring. The primary outcome was the proportion of pregnant women exceeding weight gain recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Secondary outcome variables were maternal weight retention and short-term obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Results: The intervention resulted in a lower proportion of women exceeding IOM guidelines among women in the intervention group (38%) compared with the control group (60%) (odds ratio (OR): 0.5; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.3 to 0.9) without prompting an increase in the proportion of pregnancies with suboptimal weight gain (19% vs. 21%). Participants in the intervention group gained significantly less weight than those in the control group. Only 17% of the women in the intervention group showed substantial weight retention of more than 5 kg compared with 31% of those in the control group at month four postpartum (pp) (OR: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.2 to 0.9). There were no significant differences in obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Conclusions: Lifestyle counseling given to pregnant women reduced the proportion of pregnancies with excessive GWG without increasing suboptimal weight gain, and may exert favorable effects on pp weight retention.

Langsam aber sehr gezielt verändert sich die Rolle der Pharmaunternehmen im Gesundheitsmarkt. Erkennbar ist, dass es nicht mehr nur, um die Bereitstellung von Medikamenten und Produkten geht, sondern auch Fragen beleuchtet werden - Welches ist der beste Patient für welches Medikament? Wie kann das notwendige Verbleiben auf einer Medikation erhöht werden? Ist es möglich Hospitalisierung zu vermeiden und Adhärenz zu erhöhen? Darüber hinaus gehen einige Pharmaunternehmen auch den Weg der Etablierung von Patienten-Begleitungsprogrammen, Prävention und lebensstilangepassten Interventionen, um Angebote über die reine Versorgung hinaus zu etablieren. Horchen Sie hinein, wie ein besonders forschungs- und innovationsfreudiges Pharmaunternehmen die Zukunft gestaltet.
