In today's episode, we explore the groundbreaking intersection of addiction, biology, and cancer with internationally recognized scientist Dr. Rafael Cuomo. Drawing on insights from his book Crave, Dr. Cuomo reveals how addiction is not simply a behavioral or psychological issue—it's a biological condition that reshapes the terrain of our health and directly contributes to the development of chronic disease, including cancer. Dr. Cuomo introduces the concept of “molecular scars”—long-term physiological changes left behind by repeated addictive behaviors, even low-grade ones like screen use or ultra-processed food consumption. He explains how these behaviors disrupt key systems in the body, including the dopamine, opioid, GABA, glutamate, cortisol, and the endocannabinoid systems, ultimately weakening immune surveillance, fueling inflammation, and accelerating cellular damage. From the anticipatory nature of craving to the role of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, this episode invites clinicians, patients, and everyday listeners to reconsider addiction not as a character flaw, but as a biologically driven imbalance with profound public health implications.

Addressing root causes, not just masking symptoms, is how you achieve real freedom. • Food, Movement & Thought Patterns All Matter – Healing doesn't start with a supplement—it starts with eating real food, moving your body, managing stress, and rewriting your internal beliefs.

Story at-a-glance Healthier eating patterns significantly improve cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver fat even when body weight remains unchanged, showing that metabolic benefits occur independently Metabolic markers like insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control improve within six to 12 weeks of dietary changes, providing quick motivation to maintain healthier habits Focusing on whole, nutrient-rich foods and reducing processed options delivers better health outcomes than focusing on calorie counting or macronutrient ratios Eliminating processed foods and sugars reduces chronic inflammation, which damages blood vessels and contributes to insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease development Prioritize whole foods, maintain consistent eating patterns, include adequate carbohydrates, build muscle mass, and gradually increase caloric intake for optimal metabolic function

Did you know that stopping GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy can trigger powerful biological and emotional changes that impact your weight journey? In this episode, I talk about what happens when you stop taking a GLP-1 medication, like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. I explain how these medications work by slowing stomach emptying, reducing appetite, and helping with insulin regulation, which supports weight loss and benefits conditions like type 2 diabetes and PCOS. However, I also share that they're not magic pills, you still need healthy habits like eating well and exercising. I highlight possible side effects, such as nausea or pancreatitis risks, and emphasize that stopping these medications can lead to increased hunger, cravings, weight regain, and even emotional distress. But I also reassure you that this isn't a sign of failure. Weight regain is often biological, not personal. I offer tips for tapering off safely, reinforcing lifestyle habits, and exploring other options. Most importantly, I remind you that your journey is valid, you're not alone, and lasting success requires a plan, support, and self-compassion. Tune in to learn what really happens when you stop taking GLP-1 medications—and how to stay empowered and in control of your weight journey.   Episode Highlights: How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy work Common side effects and safety considerations What to expect when stopping GLP-1s, both physically and emotionally Strategies to manage weight regain and maintain healthy habits Alternative tools and support options beyond medication 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.

What does it mean to be free? It's a question that's puzzled philosophers for millennia. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? If you've ever felt hangry, crashed after a meal, or dealt with type 2 diabetes, you've experienced the opposite — metabolic imprisonment.My guest today, Ben Azadi, knows this firsthand. In 2008, Ben was obese and unhealthy, struggling to find answers. After shedding 80 pounds and turning his health around, he dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, he's a functional health expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand empowering people to use ancient healing tools like fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle. His new book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat, lays out the blueprint to reclaim your health.In this episode, we dive into:What metabolism really is — and why “slow” or “fast” metabolism may be a mythA groundbreaking study that disproves the idea that metabolism slows with ageWhy fasting insulin is a better marker of health than weight or glucose aloneThe surprising power of “Vitamin G” — gratitude — on your metabolic functionBen's top daily habits and biohacks to supercharge your metabolismBen's approach is all about education over medication — empowering you to take control, rather than outsourcing your health. Ben has also made a personal impact on a member of my family.Links:

If you're serious about building muscle quickly and effectively, there's one fundamental concept you need to master: the difference between mechanical stress and metabolic stress. In this episode, I break it all down for you. I explain what each type of stress means, how they work, and exactly why they're both essential for muscle growth. Mechanical stress focuses on heavy lifting, progressive overload, and creating maximum tension in the muscle fibers. Metabolic stress relies on the "burn," higher reps, shorter rest periods, and techniques like supersets and drop sets to push your muscles to the limit. I also share practical tips on how to program these methods into your workouts so you can stop wasting time and finally start seeing results. Whether you're new to strength training or looking to break through a plateau, this episode will help you understand the science behind muscle growth so you can train smarter, not just harder. Tune in and get ready to transform your workouts—and your physique.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Eric Trexler — researcher and science communicator — to unpack the concept of metabolic adaptation from both a scientific and practical lens.We dive deep into how your body adjusts calorie expenditure, hormone levels, and hunger signals during a Fat Loss Phase and more importantly how to work with these changes, not fear them.Whether you're a coach, a competitor, or someone who's struggled with “plateaus” or weight regain, this conversation will give you the clarity you've been missing.Metabolic adaptation is real but it's not an insurmountable roadblock to your goals.TOPICS COVERED:⁃ WHAT METABOLIC ADAPTATION ACTUALLY IS⁃ THE COMPONENTS OF ENERGY EXPENDITURE AFFECTED BY ADAPTATION⁃ HORMONAL ADAPTATIONS DURING FAT LOSS⁃ THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT METABOLIC ADAPTATION⁃ MISCONCEPTION 1: HAVING A “SLOW METABOLISM” PREVENTS FAT LOSS⁃ MISCONCEPTION 2: METABOLIC ADAPTATION CAN STOP WEIGHT LOSS COMPLETELY⁃ MISCONCEPTION 3: THE MORE METABOLIC ADAPTATION SOMEONE EXPERIENCES THE HIGHER THEIR LIKELIHOOD OF WEIGHT REGAIN⁃ THE MOST EXTREME CASE STUDIES OF ADAPTATION⁃ THE MINNESOTA STARVATION EXPERIMENT⁃ THE BIGGEST LOSER STUDY⁃ THE RACE ACROSS THE USA (ULTRA-ENDURANCE ADAPTATION)WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com

Motivation may spark change, but it's small, consistent actions that keep the fire burning, especially when you're just not feeling it. In this episode, I talk about what to do when you're feeling completely unmotivated to stick with healthy habits. I dive into the truth that motivation is fleeting and often unreliable, and instead, I share practical strategies to keep moving forward even when you don't feel like it. I also explore common reasons we lose motivation like overwhelm, burnout, boredom, and perfectionism and offer five actionable tips: shrink the task, pair it with something enjoyable (habit stacking), reconnect with your "why," use the two-minute rule, and celebrate small wins. I remind you and myself—that consistency, not perfection, is what leads to lasting change. If you've ever struggled to stay on track with your healthy habits, this episode is your practical guide to getting unstuck—tune in now and take the first small step!   Episode Highlights: The myth of constant motivation Common reasons for feeling unmotivated (overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, etc.) Five practical strategies to take action when motivation is low The power of habit stacking and the two-minute rule Reconnecting with your "why" to stay grounded Celebrating small wins to build long-term momentum 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.

Traditional treatments—like therapy and medication—can benefit from an understanding of brain metabolism, potentially leading to new strategies, including weight loss drugs, dietary changes, exercise, and sleep improvements. They emphasize the value of the ketogenic diet for serious conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, referencing positive study results and personal testimonies. They also debunk the chemical imbalance theory of mental illness, proposing that medications work by improving brain metabolism. For those with severe mental illnesses, working with a professional on a metabolic treatment plan, such as a ketogenic diet, is recommended. The script concludes with a positive note on the potential benefits of new weight loss drugs like Ozempic for various mental health conditions and addiction treatments.

Send us a textKristina Cook is a wife and mom of two from Nova Scotia, Canada, whose amazing 11-year-old daughter struggled with ADHD, OCD, & treatment resistant bipolar disorder for six years.Eventually, Kristina started looking outside the conventional medical and mental health systems for answers. This quest led her to MAHA Moms, RFK Jr., Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Chris Palmer, and ultimately conversations about health, food, and politics she never expected to find herself concerned about until now.In understanding the reasons why we are all so sick, she was able to put her daughter's bipolar disorder into remission and have her off all medications within 6 weeks and turn her entire family's health and lives around in the process.Kristina lives in Nova Scotia with her husband Ryan, her son Noah, her incredible daughter Genevieve and their 2 dogs, where they are living an entirely new life now that bipolar disorder no longer controls their home. She is raising awareness in her online community for safe, clean, whole foods and metabolic therapies, and helping others learn how to adapt from the Standard Western Diet to a whole food and ketogenic diet.Find Kristina at-IG- @thebetterhumansprojectFB- @The Better Humans ProjectDr. Casey Means and Calley Means on The Tucker Carlson ShowFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright break down the essentials of a true metabolic workup. This episode moves beyond social media diet trends and digs into the science behind comprehensive lab panels, what they measure, and why they matter for your whole-body health. Dr. Cooper explains how to interpret common and advanced metabolic markers—like blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, hormone levels, and more—while Andrea and Mark share personal insights into the power of understanding your metabolic baseline. If you're concerned about weight, diabetes, or just want to know your numbers, this episode gives you the knowledge to talk confidently with your healthcare provider.Key Takeaways:A whole-body metabolic approach goes beyond just weight or blood pressure—comprehensive lab work (plus family history) is essential to uncover risks or dysfunction early.Standard blood panels provide useful clues (glucose, cholesterol, liver, kidney, blood pressure), but advanced tests (A1C, lipid particles, hormone levels, inflammation markers) round out the picture.Metabolic dysfunction is driven by factors far deeper than calories in/out—dieting and under-fueling can actually weaken metabolism over time.Medication for metabolic health is not a failure; it's a science-backed intervention. Early and accurate testing allows for better, evidence-based treatment.Don't ignore “borderline” results—addressing issues early is easier and more effective than trying to reverse advanced dysfunction later.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea recounts her life-changing journey from endless dieting to real answers through complete metabolic testing and individualized treatment.Mark highlights the need for patients to advocate for themselves and ask for more than just the standard panel at annual exams.References:Diet Failure Rate• Mann, T., et al.

Relationships are challenging.In this episode, we explore some of the Autistic phenotype challenges in relationships. We discuss symptoms from criteria A are external and criteria B are internal, and how criteria B complicates the symptoms in criteria A. In addition, Autism is a comparison to social-norms, and this is a problem. Some environments/relationships discussed include peer-to-peer, romantic, and parent-child. To begin, we explain the mechanisms behind the speaker-receiver and the use of conveying speech in socialness.Before we begin, we cover a brief explanation of Speaker-Receiver and human communication.Dr. Theresa Regan episode https://youtu.be/aUhIreFd5swAutism and Adaptive Responses https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-spectrum-finding-superpowers-with-autism/id1737499562?i=1000658438095What is Autism: Criteria A https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-spectrum-finding-superpowers-with-autism/id1737499562?i=1000651048705The Roles of Oxytocin and Vasopressin in the Autistic Phenotype https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-spectrum-finding-superpowers-with-autism/id1737499562?i=1000660031273(0:00) Intro; Speaker-Receiver explanation when conveying speech(3:55) Unpredicableness in socialness; black and white thinking and context-dependent and adaptive responses; Metabolic energy/resources; Oxytocin and Serotonin(7:10) Biology that gives us Autism gives us complications to socialness and relationships; Sex-differences and socialness(8:40) Criteria A is external, Criteria B is internal; Sensory-Processing(10:32) B.2 and B.3 implicates socialness(16:58) Direct social interactions(22:26) Autism versus social norms; Romantic relationships(26:51) Do Autistics outgrow Autism?(28:04) Parenting(31:30) Cohabitating(32:28) Wrap Up(32:45) Reviews/Ratings and contact infoLinks: hopp.bio/fromthespectrumX: https://twitter.com/rps47586Email: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

In this episode, we dive into the nitty-gritty of contest prep, metabolic strategy, and managing life when the intensity ramps up. Robert breaks down the results from his 4:1 ketogenic macro experiment—4,000+ calories a day with only 9% protein—and how it might be used as a short-term metabolic reset during long preps. Greg's about to try it too, right after his first show.We also talk through how contest prep affects relationships, sleep, and stress. Greg opens up about some big personal transitions, and both of us reflect on how important it is to have a solid support system when you're pushing your limits.Other highlights:Metabolic adaptation and body composition strategyLab tests, SHBG, and bloodwork logisticsKeto Brick updates, shipping containers, and thick new packagingSleep scores, training intensity, and the value of routineA new shower at HQ (finally!), and sidecar motorcycle fantasiesCommunity shout-outs and Ralph's inspiring 62-year-old debut prepBaby watch: Crystal's due any day now!Whether you're a competitive bodybuilder or just trying to dial in your nutrition and lifestyle, this one's packed with real talk, data, and behind-the-scenes updates.Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQGreg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/

In their conversation, Michelle shares how her lived experience with severe anorexia and disordered eating led her to question the very nutrition guidelines she was trained to promote. From confronting the failures of conventional dietetics to advocating for a low-carb, animal-based approach to health and performance, Michelle's story is one of true transformation. She opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped her life, why she walked away from the system, and how she now helps others find food freedom and real recovery — especially those who've done everything “right” and are still unwell. With a background in both clinical nutrition and elite-level running, Michelle offers a rare and refreshing take on fuelling the body, reclaiming health, and redefining what healing truly looks like.Michelle Hurn, RD, LD is a registered and licensed dietitian, author, and endurance athlete who has become a leading voice in challenging conventional nutrition guidelines. After battling a severe eating disorder and experiencing firsthand the failures of the system she was trained in, Michelle began questioning mainstream dietary advice — particularly its emphasis on low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets. Her personal recovery and professional observations led her to explore low-carbohydrate, animal-based nutrition as a therapeutic tool for both physical and mental health.Michelle is the author of The Dietitian's Dilemma, a powerful memoir-manifesto that blends science, personal experience, and patient stories to advocate for a radical shift in how we approach health through food. She has since dedicated her career to helping others find real recovery and vitality through nutrient-dense, bioavailable foods — particularly those who've struggled with chronic illness, disordered eating, or metabolic dysfunction. Michelle is also an accomplished ultrarunner and a passionate speaker on nutrition, mental health, and the future of dietetics.https://www.instagram.com/runeatmeatrepeat/?hl=enhttps://www.thedietitiansdilemma.net/https://www.americandiabetessociety.org/leadership Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In today's episode, I discuss how added sugar and refined/processed foods (yes, even organic, dairy-free, and gluten-free processed foods are STILL processed and refined), still unrecognizable to the mitochondria, still void of nutrients that our gut microbime needs (like fiber!), and also causing MORE inflammation and mitochondria dysfucntion which contirbutes to all METABOLIC diseases including:StokeCVD/Heart Disease/AtherosclerosisKidney DiseaseLiver Disease and Failure, NAFLD, CirrhosisDiabetesDementiaExcess Growth/CancerHyperlipedimia/ObesityWhat they all have in common is that they are METABOLIC in nature, meaning you have to begin to look at what is happening in the LIVER and in the CELLS in order to prevent them. There is NO way we can move forward along our healing journey if we are poisoning our cells with sugar, and in the episode, I delve into the HOW and the WHY sugar does things like wreck our metabolism and mitochondria, how it causes the liver to become fat, which sets the scene for chroinc inflammation, insulin resistance, a lack of ATP (energy), and with that, mitochondira dysfunction.I also talk about how our children are targeted in this mess, how we need to understand the limits in which their bodies can metbaolize (as far as sugar goes), how metablic issues manifest in children, and then of course - how we start supporting these thgins in our own homes (starting with what we bring into the house and what we accept as our normal when it comes to fueling our bodies.) HUME Health BODYpod code DRSTACYCode: DRSTACYMore: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 33% 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 33% off!)
