Podcasts about low carb diets

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.

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.

Struggling with low energy, poor sleep, and stubborn weight despite "eating clean"? The problem might not be what you're eating—it's what you're NOT eating.Dr. Ray Peat, a biologist with 50+ years of research, discovered something shocking: many "healthy" foods like kale, nuts, and vegetable oils are actually suppressing your thyroid and slowing your metabolism. Meanwhile, the foods we've been told to avoid—like sugar, saturated fat, and dairy—might be exactly what your body needs to thrive.In this episode, we break down:The 4 pillars of Ray Peat's pro-metabolic approachWhy polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) sabotage thyroid functionHow to structure your daily meals for optimal metabolismThe 3-phase transition strategy (so you don't shock your system)What to expect: energy, sleep, and hormone improvementsIf you've been restricting calories and carbs for years with diminishing returns, this might be the metabolic reset you've been missing.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, My OATs test came back with normal markers for bacteria and fungus. I was on an extremely low carb diet when I took the test and was wondering if that could cause a false negative. I have taken herbal Antimicrobials and garlic in the past which sometimes eliminates the bloating and brain fog and does so within a few days but only at double doses and only working temporarily. I have a few mild chronic fungal infections, IBS, cognitive symptoms, and MCAS. Do you think the issue is more likely related to an overgrowth or intestinal permeability caused by MCAS? How should I begin treatment since I am sensitive to many supplements? My food sensitivity test unfortunately showed a false negative to all foods.                                                                                                                                                                Zonia: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all your insightful information! My husband has lipoma's all over his body ranging from dime size to 1/2 tennis ball. His mom has them too, but very few. He started getting them removed by the dozen and I understand they can regrow. How can we help prevent the regrowth? Also, we have twins (B/G)and are there any labs that can determine if either have the genes or how to minimize the chances they will have any? Thank you in advance!      Chris: Hi Dr Cabral, regarding magnesium intake and supplemental H2: The tablets we have include 80 mg of magnesium for 8ppm H2. If you were going to rely on H2 tablets for your exclusive molecular hydrogen source, how many tablets would you take per day to maximize H2 benefits while maintaining advisable magnesium levels and not too much? Assuming 2 scoops of DNS at breakfast (50mg magnesium) + 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium caps at dinner (250mg). I've been varying from 1-3 H2 tablets/daily throughout the week. I stopped taking a scoop of your very delicious & effective Calming Magnesium before bed (300mg) in order to prioritize the benefits of Molecular Hydrogen, however, would love to add this back in if its not too much Magnesium with everything else. Thank you always.           Anonymous: Hi! I have a couple questions. Might have to submit two for the length. First is about thyroid. My thyroid labs are showing normal TSH .56, low free T4 1.33, low total T3 114, high reverse T3 17.20 & TPO high at 25. Does this indicate Hashimoto hypothyroidism? Is this fixable or will I be on supplements or meds for ever? Is TPO specific to the thyroid or is this indicative of autoimmune issues in general? Im curious what even causes these issues to begin with Thank you so much!                                                                                                                                                                    Anonymous: Hi again, 2nd question. I have a hard time gaining muscle & showing tone. I'm a petite person, and have never really shown muscle tone even in high school despite being in sports.After my third baby I lost muscle. I can tell by my body composition changes.I weigh less but look and feel like it's no muscle & more fat. A PT once was shocked at my glute weakness comparing it to the elder. If I ever take a break in exercising, for about two weeks or more I feel much weaker than before I even started, seems like my strength is decreasing rapidly if I get sedentary for even 2 weeks. Could this have an underlying cause or is this just how some of us are? Should I accept the fact that maybe I won't ever build or show much muscle tone? For reference, 33 y/o female, possible hashimotos and lipedema.       Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3488 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this compelling discussion, vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to share her journey from traditional surgical practice to metabolic health advocacy. After years of amputating limbs for diabetic patients who received poor nutritional guidance, Dr. Johnston couldn't unsee the devastating consequences of our healthcare system's approach to metabolic disease. She explains how surgeons fix anatomical problems without addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction that causes blood vessel disease throughout the body.Dr. Johnston discusses how therapeutic carbohydrate reduction, hormone optimization, sleep quality, and stress management create better outcomes than surgery alone. She shares personal insights about her own health transformation through low-carb nutrition and her decision to create a practice balancing surgery with preventive care. The conversation reveals how traditional heart and vascular surgeries are temporary fixes that don't address root causes, leaving patients vulnerable to recurring problems.This interview bridges the gap between conventional medicine and functional approaches to metabolic health, offering hope for those looking to avoid major surgical interventions through targeted lifestyle modifications.BIG IDEASurgeons like Dr. Johnston and Dr. Ovadia have recognized that vascular and cardiac surgeries are temporary fixes—like placing buckets under a leaky roof rather than repairing the roof itself—and are now focusing on metabolic health interventions that address the root causes of disease.Lily Johnston MD contact infoWebsites: www.vascularhealthinstitute.orgnexushealthspan.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ljohnstonmdSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

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.

A review of the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity and the related proposal that low carbohydrate diets are superior to traditional low fat diets. I begin with a discussion of the theory behind the carbohydrate insulin model, and then assess its plausibility using relevant evidence from rodent studies, dietary studies, ahd controlled feeding experiments. I argue that the scientific evidence does not support the alleged benefits of low carb diets for weight loss in otherwise healthy adults. Recommended pre-listening is Episode 151: Diet and Nutrition, and Episode 152: Obesity, Diabetes, and Hypertension.

Carbs are one of the most misunderstood aspects of nutrition. For decades, they've been praised, demonized, and debated. Today, low-carb diets are everywhere, but the reality is more nuanced. While over 80% of the carbs we eat come from low-quality, refined sources, the right kinds of carbs are essential for good health. In this episode, Professor Tim Spector breaks down the difference between good and bad carbs and explains why quality matters more than quantity. He explores how the rise of ultra-processed foods has led to an overconsumption of unhealthy carbohydrates, contributing to energy crashes, hunger, and long-term health issues. He also explains the benefits of fiber-rich carbs, their role in gut health, and why cutting carbs entirely may not be the best approach. The episode also answers common questions about carbs, including the best time to eat them, how to pair them for better digestion, and whether alternatives like almond flour are actually healthier. Tim also shares practical tips, such as why freezing bread might be a simple way to make it better for you.
