Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Joe Galati podcast. Today, we are diving deep into the foundation of health: the food we eat and how it fuels our bodies. Joining me are two essential members of our team at Liver Specialists of Texas, Physician Assistants Natalie Oliver and Swara Modi. Both were recently on an episode of Your Health First, our weekly radio program on #iHeart Radio.Together, we're sharing real-world stories from our clinic and practical strategies to help you navigate the often-confusing world of nutrition. At our practice, we don't just view food as calories; we view it as medicine. That is why we champion a whole-food, plant-based approach, very similar to the #Mediterraneandiet. By focusing on unrefined, plant-derived foods, we are helping our patients flood their systems with fiber, antioxidants, and essential phytonutrients that naturally lower inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. For those struggling with fatty liver, these dietary interventions are the most powerful tools we have to stop, and often reverse, the accumulation of fat in the liver. Today, we'll discuss how this lifestyle supports sustainable weight loss, boosts your energy, and provides the essential roadmap for long-term recovery and overall vitality.

Three women who've spent years inside the PCOS conversation — one as a clinician, one as a hormone tracking specialist, one as a board-certified OBGYN and culinary medicine physician — and they still said, out loud, that nobody has all the answers. That alone makes this episode worth your time.Today Dr. Susan Fox is joined by Rose McKenzie, clinical manager at Mira, and Dr. Basma Faris, founder of her namesake practice and creator of the Adopt a Mediterranean Diet for PCOS course, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to track, understand, and act on your own hormonal and metabolic data — especially when you have PCOS.Mira is a medical-grade at-home hormone monitor tracking four hormones using fluorescent technology. A CGM — continuous glucose monitor — shows you in real time how your blood sugar responds to food, stress, sleep, and where you are in your cycle. Together, these tools are changing what it means for a woman with PCOS to know her own body.You'll learn why PCOS is a metabolic disorder on a spectrum — and why where you are on that spectrum is not where you have to staywhat a 2023 University of Toronto study revealed about how glucose levels shift between the follicular and luteal phases — and what that means if you have insulin resistancewhy 70% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance — and why the other 30% matters just as muchhow high insulin drives testosterone production, how testosterone impairs insulin sensitivity, and why breaking that cycle requires interrupting it at multiple points simultaneouslywhat Mira hormone data actually looks like in a postpartum breastfeeding woman with PCOS — and why this population is almost always missedwhy elevated fasting glucose and elevated post-meal glucose are two different problems pointing to two different root causeshow long to use a CGM before you've learned what you need to know, and what "glucorexia" is — and why more data isn't always better.This episode is for you if you have PCOS and feel like every protocol you've tried was designed for someone else;, you're postpartum and nobody has looked closely at your hormones; you're tired of being told what to eat without being monitored when you follow the rules; you want to understand the insulin-testosterone feedback loop in plain language; you're a provider curious about integrating hormone and metabolic

Show Notes Inflammation is one of the body's most important defense mechanisms—but when it doesn't shut off, it can quietly contribute to serious health problems. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Charis Meng, a rheumatologist at NewYork‑Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, about how inflammation works and why chronic inflammation can put the body at risk. Dr. Meng explains the difference between short‑term, helpful inflammation and long‑term inflammation that lingers for months or years, affecting everything from joints to the heart, brain, and immune system. The conversation explores autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, what causes inflammation, and how lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, stress, and physical activity can impact inflammation. Dr. Meng also discusses treatment options ranging from targeted immune therapies to lifestyle changes, acupuncture, and emerging research on GLP‑1 medications. This episode offers clear, science‑based guidance to help listeners understand inflammation—and what they can do to help keep it in check. Chapters 00:00 – What Is Inflammation, and When Is It Helpful? How inflammation works as the body's natural defense system 03:45 – Acute vs. Chronic Inflammation Why inflammation sometimes doesn't shut off—and how it can cause harm 07:30 – Inflammation and Disease Risk Autoimmune conditions, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer 09:45 – How to Reduce Chronic Inflammation Medical treatments, diet, exercise, sleep, and emerging research   Key Topics Covered Inflammation and the immune system Acute vs. chronic inflammation Autoimmune diseases and rheumatoid arthritis Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer risk Anti‑inflammatory lifestyle habits Mediterranean diet and inflammation Exercise, sleep, and immune balance Acupuncture and integrative care GLP‑1 medications and inflammation research   Takeaway Message Inflammation is the body's natural healing response, but when it becomes chronic and doesn't turn off, it can contribute to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While some chronic inflammation is driven by autoimmune disease or factors beyond our control, healthy habits like diet, exercise, and sleep can still help support the body and reduce long-term health risks.   Doctor Bio Dr. Charis Meng is an assistant attending rheumatologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and an assistant professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, who is also certified in acupuncture. Her practice is in general rheumatology, and her special interests are in treating older patients with chronic pain, low back pain and inflammatory arthritis.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health, is described as the “godfather of functional medicine.” He details the origins of functional medicine as a systems-biology, root-cause approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, and supplements alongside conventional allopathic care, especially for chronic disease. Bland contrasts medication “number needed to treat” examples (statins and TNF-alpha blockers) with personalized lifestyle interventions, noting adherence challenges. He discusses GLP-1 weight-loss drugs as a major pharmacologic advance but raises concerns about long-term effects, discontinuation rates, side effects, and inadequate nutrition if food intake drops. Bland describes research on bitter compounds and gut “taste” receptors influencing GLP-1 and related hormones, links to Blue Zone diets, and introduces Big Bold Health's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and minimally processed, sustainably sourced fish oil products, the Omega-3 index, and targeted formulations with lutein/astaxanthin, plus ongoing clinical trials on immune aging and gene expression.

First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with foods that may lower the risk of cardiac-events and other heart-related illnesses and problems. A new study reports a potentially better diet for health, even proposing to be healthier than both Mediterranean Diet and Dash Diet. This new research suggests full fat dairy products, along with large amounts of fruits, vegetables and legumes, in addition to moderate amounts of whole grains, unprocessed meats, and fish could be linked to a lower risk of heart disease and premature death. They call this the PURE diet. Moving on, Doug and Dr. Ken address the potential spread of coronavirus in deer, the epidemic of obesity, the link between proper amounts of exercise and quality sleep as it relates to staving off mental decline, and a more in-depth discussion of Alzheimer's and other Dementia-related diseases and disorders that impact the brain.  Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

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.

Send a textThe Mediterranean diet has become medical gospel—promoted by diabetes organizations, heart health foundations, and doctors worldwide. But when I looked at the actual evidence, I found something shocking: the one major study proving its benefits was so flawed it had to be retracted. And when NICE updated their cardiovascular disease guidelines in 2023, they admitted there was "no available evidence" comparing dietary interventions to normal diets, so they made recommendations based on "clinical experience and expert opinion" instead. In this episode, I expose how decades of lifestyle advice rest on a foundation of observational studies that can't prove causation, one retracted trial, and guidelines that openly admit the evidence doesn't exist. I explore why we ignored Japan despite identical findings, how the Mediterranean diet reflects Eurocentric superiority rather than scientific rigor, and why telling Black, brown, and indigenous communities to abandon their cultural foods for olive oil is racist as f*ck. The evidence doesn't support what we're being told and it's time we started demanding better.Ge, Long, Behnam Sadeghirad, Geoff D. C.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-29-2026: An emailer asks about hemorrhoids affecting 2 relatives,a 60-year-old man and his 20-year-old daughter, with the daughter also experiencing constipation worsened by fiber supplements. Dr. Dawn explains hemorrhoids are essentially varicose veins of the anus, with 102 genetic regions identified affecting blood vessel and smooth muscle strength. She emphasizes that fiber supplements without adequate water create "cement in the pipe"—recommending 16-24 ounces of water with supplements and 2 liters of clear water daily. Miralax also requires sufficient hydration to work. Key strategies include exercise to stimulate gut motility, staying off the toilet if unable to produce results, using a standing desk to reduce prolonged sitting pressure, and triggering the gastrocolic reflex by eating. Dr. Dawn discusses research on the "volatilome"—volatile organic compounds in breath that reflect gut microbiome composition. Researchers using sterile mice colonized with specific bacteria could identify bacterial fingerprints through breath analysis. The technique identified disease-associated compounds for tuberculosis and malaria, and correlated specific gut bacteria with asthma severity in children. The research suggests breath testing could eventually replace stool samples for microbiome assessment and disease screening. She explains detoxification biochemistry, distinguishing between water-soluble toxins easily filtered by kidneys and fat-soluble toxins requiring liver transformation. Phase one converts fat-soluble molecules into reactive intermediates—dangerous if they linger—while phase two attaches water-soluble molecules like glutathione to neutralize them for excretion. Supporting phase two requires green tea, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and curcumin. She cautions against extended fasting for detox, especially over age 50, as it depletes the body's detoxification resources and muscle mass. A caller asks about alkaline versus acidic water. Dr. Dawn explains you cannot alkalinize blood since kidneys maintain pH, but alkaline urine is beneficial. Rather than expensive alkaline waters, adding a pinch of baking soda achieves the same effect. Eating a 3:1 ratio of fruits, vegetables, and grains to animal products naturally alkalinizes urine. She notes lemons paradoxically alkalinize because kidneys overcompensate for the acid load. A caller asks about managing heart disease after receiving a third stent. Dr. Dawn recommends the Mediterranean diet over DASH for cardiac patients, as Mediterranean emphasizes fish, whole grains, and fiber that binds cholesterol for excretion, while DASH focuses on calcium for hypertension. She encourages exploring exercise options through meetup.com groups and the hospital's lifestyle center, emphasizing that consistent effort can reduce biological age by 3-5 years regardless of chronological age.

In this episode, Why the Mediterranean Diet Isn't Really a Diet, I talk with Dr. Anna Pleet about a refreshing approach to food and health that doesn't require willpower or calorie counting. The Mediterranean diet has topped every "best diet" list for years—but we break down why it's actually not a diet at all. And why that's exactly what makes it work—especially in midlife. Dr. Pleet shares how this lifestyle supports weight management, blood sugar balance, heart health, and energy without eliminating the foods you love. No carb-cutting. No crazy rules. Just simple, satisfying meals that work with your body—not against it. We also explore how Mediterranean habits like movement, simplicity, and community help you stay consistent—without burning out. This conversation is about letting go of the pressure to be perfect, and finally creating habits you can actually stick with—because they feel good. If you're tired of resolutions that fade and want a way of eating that supports your real life in midlife, this episode is your fresh start. This approach is one collection of grounded habits designed to help you feel stronger, more energized, and more at ease—no matter your age. Let this year be different. Let it feel doable.

When I wrote my book “Go Natural” we were on the Genesis diet which is a high-carb diet. Today in America, breads have lots of chemicals in them that are outlawed in Europe. In addition, the gluten in U.S. bread is much higher than God designed. Excessive gluten and chemicals are damaging to the walls of our intestines, causing leaky gut syndrome, which is the precipitator of many health problems. Our diet has changed over the years, and we are now on a modified Keto diet, a low-carb diet which we have found to be much healthier. From what I can gather, the Mediterranean Diet is perhaps the healthiest, but since we don't like many of the foods on the Mediterranean Diet, we have not tried that. Another healthy diet option would be the Paleo diet.Free downloads and other hyperlinks can be accessed through the accompanying blog: https://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/our-diets-over-last-40-years-%E2%80%93-which-one-works-youSupport the show

In the shadowy underbelly of the Cold War, the CIA cooked up one of the most jaw-dropping, morally bankrupt experiments in American history—Operation Midnight Climax. Picture this: secret safehouses rigged with two-way mirrors, government-employed prostitutes luring in unsuspecting “guests,” and LSD slipped into drinks while agents sat back, took notes, and occasionally… joined in. Yeah, this was real, taxpayer-funded, and every bit as insane as it sounds. This week, we're taking you inside the twisted world of George Hunter White and his cast of spooks, crooks, and acid-dropping guinea pigs. From mind control fantasies to public scandal, we'll cover how it all started, the wildest stories from the operation, and the shocking fallout that still shapes conspiracy theories today.
