The Whole Grain Gap: Benefits, Myths and Easy Ways to Eat More Whole grain recommendations – and the science behind them – have remained remarkably consistent for decades, yet only two percent of Americans are getting enough. In today's wellness and social media landscape, carbohydrates and grain foods are often oversimplified, misunderstood or unfairly vilified. Yet, consumers are actively seeking many of the benefits whole grain foods support, including fiber intake, gut health, cardiometabolic health, satiety, and overall diet quality. This podcast episode explores the disconnect between the perception of grain foods and the reality of what they offer, discussing the science behind recommendations, as well as the challenges people face when it comes to getting the recommended intake. Listeners will learn from nutrition experts on how they can help close the whole grain gap by leveraging insights and accessible strategies. Whether you're looking to understand the latest research or get practical tips for bringing whole grains back into the nutrition conversation (and your diet), this episode delivers evidence-based, real-world tips to transform your approach to whole grains.  Tune in to learn more about:  definition of whole grains and their components health benefits of whole grains including disease risk reduction common misconceptions and confusion about grains how to understand food labeling strategies for increasing whole grain intake in daily life the impact of trends like low-carb and high-protein diets on grain consumption emerging research on gut health and antioxidants in whole grains practical tips for food shopping and meal planning resources for health professionals and the public This episode awards 1.0 Free CPEU in accordance with the Commission on Dietetic Registration's CPEU Prior Approval Program.

For decades, Professor Tim Noakes told the world that carbohydrate-loaded muscles were the secret to endurance performance. He built a career on it, wrote a bestselling running manual around it, and trained a generation of athletes to believe it. Then, standing at a podium, he tore the nutrition chapter out of his own book.In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, the South African physiologist traces a personal reckoning that began with an unlikely diagnosis: type 2 diabetes, arrived at while running fifty miles a week and staying lean. He walks through the science that forced him to abandon three decades of orthodoxy, the university battle and courtroom fight that followed his public reversal, and a model of carbohydrate metabolism built on two very different pools of glucose, one that barely matters and one that determines whether an athlete falters.The conversation moves from Cape Town laboratories to Mongolia to a South African courtroom, and lands on a mechanism connecting muscle glycogen, insulin, and the ability to burn fat that most people, including many physicians, were never taught.BIG IDEAHow much glycogen sits in the muscles determines whether insulin stays elevated and the body keeps burning carbohydrate instead of fat, a discovery that overturned decades of sports nutrition dogma and reframed muscle glycogen not as a performance reserve but as a dumping ground for excess blood glucose.Professor Tim Noakes Contact InfoWebsite: https://TheNoakesFoundation.orgBook: The Lore of Running (Complete Update Coming) https://amzn.to/3RUTRsVInterview with Dr. Eric Westman: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1810620/episodes/14766410Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Lowering A1C in Prediabetes and Using Less Insulin on a Low-Carb Diet: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener questions about blood sugar and insulin. Responding to Rita, whose hemoglobin A1C rose from 5.6 to 5.8, Layla says “glucose hacks” to blunt carb absorption aren't appropriate at that level and recommends a strict very low-carb/keto approach (under 25 grams of total carbs per day), avoiding sugar, starchy vegetables, fruit (except avocado), sweetened beverages, and even alternative sweeteners and low-carb processed products; she suggests retesting A1C after three months and avoiding testing during illness or inflammation. She also addresses Joy, a type 1 diabetic, affirming low-carb eating to reduce insulin needs and weight gain, criticizing an insurance pricing structure that charges more when insulin is used more slowly, and expressing concern about doctors prescribing insulin too quickly for type 2 diabetes instead of dietary intervention.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes on a viral video claiming that electrolyte supplements are nothing more than “dehydrated soda” and a wellness scam. In this Vitality Verdict, he separates legitimate concerns about influencer marketing and poor formulations from the physiology of hydration and mineral balance. Jared explains why sodium, potassium, and magnesium remain foundational nutrients, especially for people who exercise, fast, eat low-carb diets, drink coffee, use saunas, or live under chronic stress. He also addresses the misleading use of vitamin B6 toxicity to condemn an entire category of products. The bottom line: electrolytes are neither a scam nor a magic bullet. When used intelligently and in the right context, they can be a practical tool to support hydration, energy, muscle function, and overall vitality. Products:Re-Lyte ElectrolytesJust Ingredients ElectrolytesPowder Vitamin ElectrolytesGreat Naturally ElectrolytesVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

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.

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.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD.

How Continuous Glucose Monitors Can Optimize Metabolic Health—and Where GLP-1 Drugs Fit: Emergency physician-turned-preventive/metabolic medicine specialist Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD reveals how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are a tool not only for diabetics but also for non-diabetics and pre-diabetics to personalize diet, sleep, and exercise by seeing real-time glucose patterns instead of relying on fingersticks or A1c averages. Kolodzik describes CGM use in his clinic (two-week diagnostic wear, then therapeutic guidance), highlights insulin resistance, fasting insulin testing, glucose variability, and the role of low-carb eating, intermittent fasting, and strength training to improve metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, and fatty liver. They discuss CGM sourcing/cost, device mechanics and accuracy, possible future noninvasive wearables, and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss drugs, emphasizing supervised, limited-dose use with protein and lifestyle changes to avoid muscle loss and weight regain. A free PDF of Kolodzik's book is offered HERE.  

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses nutrition and menopause, defining menopause as 12 months without a period and noting it can occur naturally or due to surgery/medical procedures. She links declining estrogen to increased cardiometabolic risk, endothelial dysfunction, vascular aging, musculoskeletal pain, and higher risks with early menopause (including cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and dementia), and notes many estrogen-modulated conditions are associated with gut dysbiosis. She emphasizes lifestyle—especially nutrition—as key, highlighting anti-inflammatory, minimally processed eating and warning against ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, and excess omega-6. She cites research that high adherence to a Mediterranean diet improves markers like heart rate, lipids, triglycerides, CRP, and overall cardiometabolic risk, and mentions omega-3s lowering triglycerides while modestly raising HDL and LDL. She reviews diet approaches for hot flashes, suggests reducing caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and carbs, notes some women require (bioidentical) HRT, and describes clients improving symptoms with dietary change.

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

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.

I am talking about bone health and low carb dieting. We live in a world where women are obsessed with losing weight as quickly as possible. It can be frustrating when you start to fuel your body like an athlete and you may gain some weight especially if you are coming from a low carb diet. I share some of my story with my injuries in my 20's and how it was a result of the dieting I was doing at the time. I delve deep into why going low carb can be hurting your bone density.

Resveratrol + Copper Research, Plus Grain-Free Strategies for Stalled Weight Loss: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener emails. She reviews a small India study (BJC Reports, published September 30, 2025) in which 10 glioblastoma patients awaiting surgery received resveratrol (5.6 mg) and copper (560 ng) four times daily for about 11.6 days, compared with 10 controls; the combination generated reactive oxygen species that deactivated cell-free chromatin particles in the tumor microenvironment and reduced cancer hallmarks. Asked whether this could be prophylactic against cancer, she says it is unknown and requires replication in larger studies, advising supplement use be discussed with a practitioner. She then addresses grain elimination for stalled weight loss: replace grains with more meat and non-starchy vegetables, think beyond typical breakfast foods by using leftovers, and use small portions of starchy vegetables (e.g., squash or potato) if starch helps sleep. She recommends investigating root causes of anxiety and poor sleep and suggests moderation for foods like oatmeal.

A new meta-analysis of 174 randomized controlled trials on “carbohydrate-restricted diets” found consistent benefits for body composition, blood pressure, inflammation, and more. But instead of highlighting the metabolic benefits, most of the headlines focused almost entirely on a small bump in LDL.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down why that reaction misses the point and how biases in nutrition reporting are holding back real progress in improving metabolic health.

Even a lean body can be suffering from energy toxicity, leading to poor metabolic health and stubborn weight gain. In episode 848 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with guest Craig Emmerich to reveal the truth about your personal fat threshold and why your fat cells might be rejecting insulin, causing fat to accumulate in your organs. They explore the science behind metabolic syndrome, how to identify if you've hit your fat limit, and why the common carnivore diet advice to "just eat more fat" can actually make things worse. This discussion covers everything from the role of protein and carbohydrates in energy balance to the real reasons people fail on long-term diets, offering a new perspective on achieving true health beyond just the number on the scale.Ready to stop guessing and start building a truly optimized physique?

Doug Reynolds thought he was bulletproof until his running career collapsed under mysterious weight gain and joint pain. Three weeks studying ketones changed everything—launching Low Carb USA and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. What emerged wasn't just conferences but sanctuary for practitioners facing hostility from colleagues who resist dietary intervention. Reynolds breaks conventional barriers: speakers scatter among attendees, forging relationships that span the country. After a three-year battle, the Society now offers ACCME-accredited continuing education credits, legitimizing metabolic medicine. January 23-25, 2026 conference at lowcarbusa.org. Code IFIXHEARTS saves 20%.BIG IDEAThe loneliness of practitioners who face hostility for recommending dietary interventions has created an urgent need for community—and Low Carb USA became that refuge by accident, simply by bringing people together in the same room.Doug Reynolds Contact InfoSociety of Metabolic Health Practitioners: https://thesmhp.org/Low Carb USA: https://www.lowcarbusa.org/The Road to Metabolic Health: https://amzn.to/4qtEPpESend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

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.

Are low-carb diets good or bad for your gut health?  In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll is joined by gastroenterologist and gut health expert Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to explore how cutting carbs affects your microbiome, digestion, and long-term wellness.   Discover what happens to your gut bacteria when fiber is reduced, whether low-carb eating disrupts short-chain fatty acid production, and how these changes could impact your risk for chronic diseases. Dr. Bulsiewicz also shares practical tips for protecting your microbiome while eating fewer carbs, and compares low-carb diets to Mediterranean and plant-based eating patterns.   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   - How low-carb diets influence the diversity of gut bacteria - The impact of reduced carbs on digestion and fiber intake - Why short-chain fatty acids like butyrate matter for colon health - Links between low-carb diets, inflammation, and chronic disease - Ways to support your microbiome even while cutting carbs - How plant-based and Mediterranean diets compare for gut health    

A meta-analysis of low-carb diets for diabetes remission found little to no effect at 12 months, clinically important harms to quality of life, and the deal-killer––an increase in LDL cholesterol.

In this episode, I explain cortisol and science-based protocols for properly setting your cortisol rhythm, which can significantly increase your daytime energy, focus, mood, and stress resilience, while also improving your sleep quality. Most people mistakenly think cortisol is bad, and many assume their levels are too high, when in fact many health and performance challenges simply stem from a disrupted cortisol rhythm. Getting your cortisol rhythm right can be transformative for your health and performance. I outline behavioral, nutritional, and supplement-based strategies to raise or lower your cortisol levels at the appropriate times of day and night. I also provide specific protocols for overcoming burnout. If you're dealing with stress, low energy, hormone or sleep challenges—or simply want to optimize these for the sake of your physical and mental health and performance—this episode offers science-backed protocols to help.
