Narcissistic Abuse, Food Noise & Metabolic Disorder In this episode, I'm joined by Nikki Antonaccio, who shares how surviving narcissistic abuse as a child shaped everything from her relationship with food to her metabolism and how that trauma rewired her behaviour in ways that didn't make sense until much later.We talk about how trauma from narcissistic abuse doesn't just live in the mind, it lodges itself in the body, in the nervous system, in metabolism. For Nikki, it showed up as people-pleasing, chronic stress, disordered eating and shutdown and it's not a lack of willpower. It's survival.As Nikki shares her personal story, and how this led her to become the UK's leaving Trauma Informed Nutritionist and I reflect on how she helped me see my own eating patterns in a different light. I wasn't just making poor choices, my metabolism was shaped by what I'd lived through.We talk about everything, trauma, food, shame, nervous system, survival, the future of metabolic healing and why healing and losing weight after narcissistic abuse is so much deeper than calories in vs. calories out.Explore Nikki's work here:https://nikkiantonaccioonlinecoachingltd.dropfunnelsme.com/bvy-new24/bvy-new24Don't ever be alone in your journey and make sure you come and join my private Facebook community, No Visible Bruises where you can connect with other survivors of narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse and coercive control:https://www.facebook.com/groups/novisiblebruisesDisclaimer:The views and opinions shared in this podcast are those of the individuals involved and are intended for informational and educational purposes only.

Can ketogenic therapy help reduce or even resolve symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)? Dr. Chris Palmer and research assistant Aaron MacDonald join Metabolic Mind to discuss one of the first published case series exploring metabolic and ketogenic interventions for OCD. In this video, you'll learn: - Why OCD deserves more attention as a serious, life-limiting condition - How three individuals saw dramatic symptom relief using a therapeutic ketogenic diet - What role ketosis may play in symptom reduction and why results varied from two weeks to a full year - The potential mechanisms behind metabolic therapies and brain energy metabolism - Why more research, including randomized controlled trials, is urgently needed This conversation is especially valuable for clinicians, patients, and families seeking new approaches for treatment-resistant OCD. It also touches on broader implications of metabolic health across a range of mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and the importance of supervised, individualized treatment plans. Hear how both guests bring personal experience with OCD into their research, and why they're hopeful this work will pave the way for better, much-needed options in mental health care.

Are you one of the millions of Americans who eat the Standard American Diet? Even if you're not, you're likely at risk of developing pre-diabeties, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. But, DON'T panic, because today's episode is packed with simple steps to help you take control of your blood sugar and lower your risk of diabetes and chronic disease.On this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, host Jenn Trepeck tackles the hard truth: many people are already pre-diabetic and don't even know it. From hidden insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, Jenn breaks down how the American diet and lifestyle are fueling a national health crisis. You'll learn how poor sleep, stress, a lack of fiber, and nutrient-depleted foods undermine your metabolic health—and what you can do today to take control and manage your risks. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Why is the Standard American diet the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes, and what is insulin resistance(04:18) Metabolic health connects to every system, and the ultra-processed food dilemma(09:48) Why supplements are important(14:30) Everyone is pre-diabetic, unless. Nutrition: protein, fiber, quality fat(21:31) America's fiber problem and the role of the microbiome(26:55) Our society is sedentary(30:35) The impact stress and loneliness can have on your health(34:56) Are you sleep deprived(37:30) Let's talk about the environment and toxins(42:07) If you don't like it, don't eat it and focus on preventionKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people eating the Standard American Diet are already pre-diabetic due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods, even if their labs don't reflect it yet. Modern farming, soil depletion, and long-distance transport have stripped our food of nutrients, making quality sourcing and supplementation essential.Staying ahead of metabolic disease means taking daily action—moving your body, managing stress, eating well, sleeping, and staying connected.  Even a short walk after a meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Daily activity improves energy and focus, builds muscle, enhances insulin sensitivity, and monitors glucose levels.Just because a drink is labeled “prebiotic” doesn't mean it replaces real vegetables. Whole fruits and vegetables provide a variety of fibers that support gut health more effectively than most supplements or processed drinks. You can't supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Supplements are only as good as their quality. Many synthetic options don't break down or absorb adequately, making them useless. Food first, then smart supplementation.Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and fat storage. The damage builds over time because most people don't recognize their stress. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing diet and exercise.QUOTES:         (08:56) “Our food supply is ripening while in transit, not connected to the vine where nutrients come from.” - Jenn Trepeck(18:54) “Variety is your friend. Eat the rainbow.” - Jenn Trepeck(23:30) “I'm a big fan of supplements, but you cannot supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Food first, then mart supplementation.” - Jenn Trepeck(39:36) “Next time you need to replace a mattress or a pillow. Let's make sure it's a material that isn't going to off-gas toxins.” - Jenn Trepeck"It comes down to default vs design because the way our world is set-up around us, the default would easily be the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes. That's why we're here...unless you do this now." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramMovember: Men's HealthReal People, Real Results: Shannon Nutrition Nugget: Ultra-Processed FoodGMO, Organic, and Local, Oh My!How to Cheat8 Domains of HealthAmerica's Fiber ProblemQ & A: SupplementsTick…Tick…BOOM

In today's episode, I chat about how to bring in protein, strength training, and building muscle in a supportive and intentional way (And WHY we need to always be making this our eventual goal along any healing journey).I talk about the nuance of protein consumption, why it is not favorable to overdo it when living a sedentary lifestyle, but how to strategically increase it as the body is ready, so that we can get to a more foundational place for sustainable health. I also talk about how sedentary living impacts our ability to recover from workouts and how we must ease into movement gently and supportively to increase the "flow" in all systems of the body, the metabolic impact, and so much more! There is so much noise on these topics, but I wanted to show you what and how I support these things clinically, how important they are to incorporate eventually, and how to do so in an intentional and supportive way!To get updates on group programs as they open up, you can get on the list HERE to get notified first!To work one-on-one with me, you can apply HERE!Nutrisense CGM (my absolute go-to for all things metabolic health, now 30% off with my code DRSTACY)Blood Sugar and Ketone Testing Masterclass Mentioned:https://stacy-baker.mykajabi.com/offers/oFFzhFSzResources mentioned in this episode:Mycircadian APP DOCTOR (code)Ra Optics (Code DRSTACYND)Bon Charge (Code DRSTACY) red light panel and circadian bulbsHigher Dose (my FAV sauna blanket with low to no EMF) code DRSTACYCGM (Code DRSTACY for 30% off!)

In this episode, I'm diving into 2 questions submitted by listeners. First up: is your metabolism actually slowing down when you hit a plateau during a diet?  I'm breaking down what metabolic adaptation really is, how fast it kicks in, what signs to watch for, and how to work with your body—not against it. Then we're tackling strength training with limited equipment:  Can you really build muscle using just dumbbells? Spoiler: yes… but there's a catch. I'll walk you through how to keep progressing with what you've got, when it might be time to upgrade your setup, and why adding equipment isn't essential—but will take your gains to the next level. Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, or just feel stronger in your body, this episode is packed with honest, actionable advice you can actually use.

In this episode, host Ben Azadi and guest Catharine Arnston explore the critical role of mitochondria in metabolism and aging. Ben introduces his new book "Metabolic Freedom" and discusses the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which protects mitochondria from free radicals. Catherine highlights the benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, in supporting mitochondrial health. They discuss algae's high SOD content, its role in combating inflammation, and its nutritional superiority. Catherine emphasizes the importance of consuming raw, high-quality algae to preserve its nutrients and shares her personal experiences and commitment to promoting algae for public health.

In this empowering episode, we sit down with Ben Azadi to dive into the key concepts behind his new book, Metabolic Freedom. Ben breaks down what it truly means to be metabolically flexible—the ability to efficiently switch between burning fat and glucose for fuel—and how this flexibility is a cornerstone of optimal health. We explore practical tools to assess your metabolic health, including the pros and cons of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) versus traditional blood tests. Ben also shares actionable steps to enhance your metabolism, from dietary strategies and fasting protocols to detoxifying your environment from hidden toxins that silently disrupt metabolic function. We close the conversation with how your thoughts and beliefs directly impact your biology, and why cultivating a positive, empowered mindset is essential for achieving true metabolic freedom. Whether you're just starting your metabolic health journey or looking to fine-tune your biohacking routine, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration.Ben Azadi, the founder of Keto Kamp, has over 17 years of experience in the health industry, and he's the author of four best-selling books, including his latest Keto Flex.

Did you know that some weight loss medications can help people lose up to 20% of their body weight, comparable to bariatric surgery outcomes? In this episode, I dive into the latest research comparing two major weight loss medications, Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide), based on findings from the 72-week SURMOUNT-5 trial. I explain how Zepbound led to greater weight loss (about 20.2% vs. 13.7% with Wegovy), possibly due to its dual action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Both drugs were generally well tolerated, with similar side effects like nausea and constipation, though Wegovy had slightly more people stop due to GI issues. I also emphasize that while Zepbound may appear more effective, individual needs, such as cardiovascular health or sleep apnea, should guide treatment decisions. Lastly, I remind you that sustainable weight loss requires patience, realistic expectations, and a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes, not just medication. Tune in to this episode to learn which weight loss medication might be right for you and why your journey to health is more than just the number on the scale.   Episode Highlights: Comparison of Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) Average weight loss outcomes and waist circumference changes between both medications Mechanism of action: GLP-1 vs. dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor targeting Side effect profiles and tolerability of both medications FDA approval differences, including cardiovascular risk reduction and sleep apnea treatment Importance of personalized treatment plans and setting realistic weight loss expectations Ongoing research into oral formulations and long-term safety studies Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Can you be 10 to 20 pounds overweight and still be considered healthy? Ben Azadi says yes—but it all depends on where that fat is located. I had such a powerful conversation with Ben, FDN-P—he's the Founder of Keto Kamp and someone who's helped thousands (maybe millions!) of people break free from what he calls “metabolic prison.” We talked about the kind of fat that really puts your health at risk, and why looking lean doesn't always mean you're healthy. This one really made me rethink how we define “healthy”—especially as we get older. Ben shared how he lost 80 pounds and completely turned his life around, and now he's teaching others how to do the same—without crash diets or gimmicks. His book, Metabolic Freedom, is packed with real strategies to help you feel better, think clearer, and age in a healthier way. We got into the nitty-gritty of insulin resistance (something so many women in midlife are dealing with), how to become a fat burner instead of a sugar burner, and why fasting is more than just skipping meals—it's about giving your body a chance to heal. And he makes it all so doable, even if you're just getting started. I also asked Ben about his own routine—he shared some simple habits that make a big difference, like hydration tips, gratitude journaling, and how building muscle can help keep your metabolism humming. Oh, and speaking of feeling good… there's a brand-new flavor of my fave superfood drink, Mighty Maca Mango—it's zesty, refreshing, and just in time for summer. I've been loving it in sparkling water or frozen as popsicles (total game-changer).

its not a real plateau!! and heres how you can break it.... the real dieting dilemma is this; where by and Tom go all in on one of the most misunderstood topics in the fitness world: maintenance calories. Spoiler? If you've been stuck at 1500 calories for months and still feel flat, tired, or like your body is holding onto everything… that is not your maintenance—that's your body surviving.We break down the difference between true maintenance and the plateau trap, why you're not “doing something wrong” by eating more, and how metabolic suppression sneaks in when you stay in diet mode too long. You'll learn what foundational habits actually look like, how to fuel like someone who trains, and why your fear of eating more is keeping you stuck.We also cover:• The illusion of maintenance vs. real fuel needs• Why most women confuse survival with success• How training effort must match intake• What to do when fat loss stops working• Why maintenance is a strategy, not a breakWhether you've been spinning your wheels for months, terrified to eat more, or just confused about why “doing everything right” still isn't working—this episode will call you out and call you forward.Because real progress doesn't come from tracking less—it comes from training better, fueling more, and finally choosing a phase that works.instagram.com/transformxrubytransformxruby.com100% Real with Ruby Podcast

I've been waiting a long time to release this one. Dr. Tyna Moore is someone I've wanted to bring on the show because her take on GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Tirzepatide is so refreshingly honest and grounded in both science and clinical experience. There's so much confusion, fear, and flat-out propaganda around these peptides, and today, we clear the air. We talk about how GLP-1 agonists work not just as weight-loss drugs but as powerful regenerative and neuroprotective tools. Yes, they help you stop obsessively thinking about food. Yes, they can dramatically help with insulin resistance. But the real story? These peptides might help heal your metabolism for good. Tyna doesn't hold back. We unpack the massive industry bias against these drugs, the obesity stigma nobody wants to talk about, and the misinformation that's keeping people sick, scared, and stuck. If you've ever wondered whether peptides are a shortcut or a real solution, this episode lays it all out. And if you're using these tools without lifting weights, optimizing sleep, eating real food, and managing your circadian rhythm? You're setting yourself up for muscle loss and disappointment. GLP-1s are not a miracle. They're a tool. But if you use them the right way, they just might change your life.   "I think there's magic in time under treatment with this peptide. I think the longer somebody's on it, the more long-term healing and regenerative benefits we ultimately get." ~ Dr. Tyna Moore   In This Episode: - GLP-1s explained: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro  - Benefits beyond weight loss: cardiovascular, neurological, regenerative - Why the pushback against Ozempic? - Muscle loss myths - Addressing other common myths and side effects - The emotional side of weight loss - The metabolic dysfunction epidemic and why it starts early - Proper GLP-1 dosing strategies: "low and slow" approach - Dr. Tyna's free resources and education courses For more, visit https://myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    Resources Mentioned: Puori PW1 Protein Powder: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Tru Energy Skincare: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Fresh Pressed Olive Oil: Get a $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com    About Dr. Tyna Moore: Dr. Tyna Moore is an expert in holistic regenerative medicine and resilient metabolic health with nearly 30 years in the medical field.

The primary idea is that changing your nutrition can heal both physical and mental health issues by removing interferences that block the body's natural ability to heal itself.KISMETWhile many people associate obesity with visible weight gain, Ben shares that although he was clinically obese at 34% body fat, most people wouldn't have recognized him as such due to his height and body type—suggesting that "hidden obesity" may be more common than we realize.EPISODE SUMMARYBen Azadi shares his journey from being obese, depressed, and suicidal to achieving optimal health by changing his nutrition and mindset. He explains how his severe depression lifted as a side effect of improving his physical health. Ben discusses the concept that our bodies have an innate ability to heal if we remove interferences like high insulin levels, seed oils, and environmental toxins. He emphasizes that changing your self-image is crucial for sustainable health improvements, as "you will never outperform your self-image." Ben reveals how insulin resistance develops 6-14 years before blood sugar problems appear, making fasting insulin testing critical for early detection. He also discusses how restaurants are beginning to return to cooking with natural fats instead of seed oils. The conversation highlights how symptoms are simply the body's "check engine light" signaling something needs attention, rather than problems requiring medication to suppress.NOTABLE QUOTE"God built my body and all of our bodies to heal itself.

“What happens if I stop strength training?” That's the audience question hosts Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher address in this new episode of Strength Changes Everything. Join them to hear about the benefits and negative consequences of doing and stopping strength training, as well as a 2017 study that looked at how a group of people were affected by halting their 6-month strength training. You'll walk away with a better understanding of how strength training works and what will happen to your body and mind if you decide to suddenly stop doing it. Hosts Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher address a question from a listener: “What happens if I stop strength training?”. Dr. Fisher explains that our body will react to the demands that are imposed on it and that, when it comes to muscles, there's a sort of “use it or lose it” dynamic. You can make a muscle-skill analogy: stopping practice will lead to you seeing a deficiency in that skill. The same applies to your muscles. The consequences of stopping strength training will depend on several factors, such as someone's age and training history, their genetics, and how long it took to make those initial muscle adaptations. Ceasing strength training completely today could lead to loss of strength and muscle mass, loss of type-2 muscle fibers, loss of cardiorespiratory fitness, an increase in body fat, and body fat percentage. Metabolic changes, changes in sleep patterns, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease are additional issues that may arise as a result of an abrupt halt in strength training.  Dr. Fisher expects most people who are past their 40s or 50s to start to see the implications and effects of detraining within a 3 or 4-week period. Dr. Fisher shares a 2017 German study that looked at the impact of detraining, after having done strength training for several weeks, on a group of elderly people. After six months of strength training, those who stopped did lose strength and muscle size, but were still stronger and had more muscle mass than they did at their baseline level. The group of elderly people who decided to keep training on their own, after the six months of the initial supervised strength training, lost almost as much strength as the group that had chosen not to train at all. For Amy, the 2017 German study makes a case for “If you don't have a great reason to stop, why should you stop?”. Amy lists the benefits of strength training, including improvement of your metabolic health, decreased inflammation, decreased disease risk, improved mood, and improved hormonal state. A quote to keep in mind: “You can have all the problems in the world, but if you don't have your health, you have one problem.” Amy and Dr. Fisher explore the mental and cognitive aspects of strength training – and what may happen if you stop it. Dr. Fisher points out that people who go to the gym and engage in strength training on a regular basis have a sense of accomplishment in the task, rather than in the outcome itself. Amy invites us to be mindful of our brain: it's always looking for excuses to sabotage the healthy habits that we intend, especially if they're newer! Did you know that being weak is more detrimental to our health than being overweight? Dr. Fisher and Amy explore the “Fat but Fit” paradigm further. Dr. Fisher and Amy talk about the scenario in which someone picks up strength training for a month but then stops.   Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

What if your body wasn't designed to be sick? What if those nagging symptoms you've been fighting aren't problems at all, but messages—your body's desperate attempt to communicate that something deeper needs attention?In this revealing conversation, metabolic health expert and my good friend Ben Azadi introduces his new book "Metabolic Freedom," explaining why an astonishing 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what we can do about it. Rather than focusing on niche approaches like strict keto or extended fasting, Azadi presents a comprehensive framework accessible to everyone, addressing the five root causes behind metabolic dysfunction.One of the most alarming revelations? You could have full-blown insulin resistance for 6-14 years while still showing "perfect" blood sugar readings on standard tests. Your pancreas compensates by pumping out massive amounts of insulin until it simply can't keep up anymore. By then, you're already deep in the disease process. Ben makes a compelling case for requesting fasting insulin tests rather than relying solely on glucose measurements that miss this critical early warning.The conversation explores how true metabolic freedom means having a body that can effortlessly use whatever fuel is available—carbs, protein, fat, or stored body fat—to generate steady energy without constant snacking or stimulants. Ben breaks down the powerful healing cascade that happens during fasting, from completed digestion at 14 hours to enhanced cellular cleanup (autophagy) at 16-17 hours and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor at the 24-hour mark.Beyond food timing, we look at the devastating impact of environmental toxins he classifies as "obesogens" and "diabetogens"—compounds found in everything from plastic containers to cash register receipts that directly promote weight gain and blood sugar dysfunction. Whether you're just beginning your health journey or deeply familiar with metabolic concepts, this conversation offers practical wisdom for reclaiming your body's natural state of health through a 30-day plan designed to restore your metabolic freedom.https://www.benazadi.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter - https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (20% off 'LUFKIN20') https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (15% off) https://pathlongevity.com/Mimio Health (15% off 'LUFKIN') https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertlufkinmd Threads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdBluesky: ...

Ben Azadi doesn't believe anyone has a weight problem. It's a weight symptom. In this episode, we unpack one of the most important health messages you're not hearing from your doctor—how insulin resistance silently builds for up to 14 years before it shows up on a blood test. And by the time you're told your blood sugar's too high? You've been metabolically unhealthy for a long time. Ben, founder of Keto Kamp and author of Metabolic Freedom, shares his personal story and the science behind how he lost 80 pounds 17 years ago and has kept it off ever since. Not by cutting calories. Not by eating six meals a day. But by healing his metabolism at the cellular level. We talk about why so many doctors miss the early warning signs of metabolic dysfunction, and why toxic seed oils, obesogens, and even "harmless" French fries are secretly destroying your ability to lose weight and live long. This is the kind of episode that connects all the dots—from fasting to inflammation to toxins and sleep. If you've tried everything and still feel like your body's not working the way it should, don't miss this one.   "Nobody has a weight problem. It is a weight symptom.

We get healthy to lose weight." ~ Ben Azadi   In This Episode: - The insulin resistance epidemic - Fasting insulin: the critical test your doctor isn't ordering - What exactly is insulin resistance? - Why simple calorie counting doesn't work long-term - Continuous glucose monitors and effective testing - Intermittent fasting benefits - Recommendations on fasting - Why long-term keto isn't ideal, especially for women - Metabolic Freedom book - Weight lifting for metabolic health - How environmental toxins affect metabolism - The problem with seed oils For more information, visit https://www.myersdetox.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

In another powerful episode of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Episode 241, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi welcomes Ben Azadi—bestselling author, metabolic health expert, and founder of Keto Kamp—for a deep dive into the root causes of poor metabolic health and what it truly takes to reclaim your body, mind, and vitality. Ben shares his personal transformation story, going from suicidal, overweight, and inflamed at 250 lbs to thriving in his 40s—lean, healthy, and purposeful. His journey started with ownership and mindset shifts, and evolved into a life's mission of helping others achieve “metabolic freedom.”The conversation goes far beyond keto buzzwords. Ben outlines how environmental toxins, not just calories, are driving fat gain and chronic disease, with shocking data about "obesogens" and "diabetogens" found in food, water, and even household items. He also challenges conventional calorie-focused models of weight loss and reveals how addressing hormones and inflammation is the real path to transformation.Ben unpacks his strategic use of ketosis—not as a lifelong diet, but as a metabolic tool—alongside the power of fasting, carnivore resets, and metabolic flexibility. His 6-day carnivore + 1-day carb refeed approach gives listeners a fresh model of how to eat and train for longevity and leanness.Finally, the conversation takes a powerful turn into mindset. Ben's favorite “supplement”? Vitamin G—gratitude. He explains how thoughts shape biology, citing the placebo effect, stress hormones, and genetic expression. He leaves listeners with a compelling call to master their thinking to master their health.Key Takeaways:Weight gain is a symptom of deeper dysfunctionHidden toxins (obesogens, diabetogens) drive fat storageHormones and inflammation matter more than caloriesKeto used as a strategic metabolic tool, not lifelong dietFasting insulin is the best marker for metabolic healthCarnivore diet works well as a short-term gut resetWeekly protocol: 6 days carnivore, 1 day carb refeedPlastics and household toxins disrupt hormones and metabolismMuscle mass is the #1 driver of metabolic efficiency after 60Vitamin G = gratitude, the most underrated anti-inflammatoryYour thoughts can literally turn genes on or offRewiring your mindset is like strength training for the brainTrue metabolic freedom comes from healing root causesLearn More about Ben Azadi:Website: www.benazadi.comNew Book: Metabolic Freedom is set to release on May 13, 2025Go to www.metabolicfreedombook.comPreorder Ben's book before May 13th or order after its release and get his Metabolic Freedom course and exclusive interviews for FREE!

In this compelling episode, Dr. Vera Tarman interviews Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a pioneer in the field of cancer metabolism. Dr. Seyfried challenges the mainstream view of cancer as a genetic disease and presents strong evidence that cancer is fundamentally a mitochondrial metabolic disorder. Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried is a distinguished American biologist and professor at Boston College, renowned for his pioneering work in cancer metabolism. With a Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, and postdoctoral training in neurochemistry at Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Seyfried has dedicated his career to exploring the metabolic underpinnings of cancer and other neurological diseases. Dr. Seyfried is best known for his groundbreaking book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (2012), where he presents compelling evidence that cancer is primarily a mitochondrial metabolic disorder rather than a genetic one. This perspective builds upon the early 20th-century findings of Otto Warburg, who observed that cancer cells rely heavily on fermentation for energy production, even in the presence of oxygen—a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. Dr. Seyfried's research suggests that targeting cancer's metabolic dependencies, such as glucose and glutamine, through dietary interventions like the ketogenic diet, could offer non-toxic therapeutic strategies. We explore: How cancer cells fuel themselves differently from healthy cells The connection between sugar, ultra-processed foods (UPFs), and cancer growth The Warburg Effect and the roles of glucose and glutamine in tumor development Whether refined sugar is carcinogenic like tobacco Why Dr. Seyfried believes ketogenic diets and caloric restriction can be powerful cancer therapies How his views align with metabolic psychiatry (Dr. Chris Palmer's Brain Energy) The controversial yet promising approach of "press-pulse" therapy The potential for preventing cancer through dietary change Follow: https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html https://tomseyfried.com The content of our show is educational only.

Did you know that simply tracking your steps each day can double your chances of reaching your weight loss goals? In this episode, I explored how digital tech tools like fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, smart scales, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), streaming fitness apps, and sleep tech can support your weight loss journey. I shared personal experiences using devices like the Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Garmin, emphasizing how they helped me stay accountable and understand my body's needs better. From real-time data on your activity and heart rate to insights on your sleep and glucose levels, these tools offer valuable support—but they're not without downsides, such as cost, data accuracy, and the risk of obsession. Ultimately, I encouraged picking one or two tools based on your biggest challenges and reminded my listeners that while tech can help, real progress still depends on showing up and staying consistent.  Tune in to discover which digital tools can supercharge your weight loss journey and help you stay on track effortlessly!   Episode Highlights: Benefits and drawbacks of fitness trackers  How heart rate monitors help optimize fat burn and endurance training Insights from smart scales on body composition beyond weight Role of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in personalized nutrition Advantages and limitations of streaming fitness apps Impact of sleep tech on metabolism and weight loss Integration of digital tools through platforms like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal Tips for choosing the right tech based on your biggest health challenge Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Hey, Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Dr. Jonas Kuehne is pulling back the curtain on one of the most controversial (and misunderstood) medications out there: ivermectin. He reveals the real science behind ivermectin and why it was originally studied for cancer long before COVID-19. He explains how it won a Nobel Prize, helped eradicate disease, and why it's been so heavily criticized despite being used worldwide in millions of patients. We also dive into fenbendazole, metabolic cancer therapy, and the two fuel sources your cancer cells rely on—glucose and glutamine—and how cutting them off could starve cancer. This 10-minute clip is packed with surprising research, practical takeaways, and a powerful reminder: sometimes the tools that help us heal the most are the ones no one's talking about.
