Could treating food like a drug be the breakthrough we've needed in food addiction treatment?In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino sits down with Dr. Tro Kalayjian - physician, researcher, and former obesity patient - to explore whether food addiction should be classified as a true addiction, and how his TOWARD model is helping patients overcome binge eating and food-related compulsions.Dr. Tro shares findings from his recent peer-reviewed paper, TOWARD: a Metabolic Health Intervention That Improves Food Addiction and Binge Eating Symptoms. The study evaluated outcomes from the TOWARD intervention, a telemedicine-based model that combines metabolic nutrition, real-time biofeedback, and coaching. Nearly half of participants reduced food addiction symptoms, and over 80% saw improvements in binge eating - often independent of weight loss.This conversation explores the science of dopamine signaling, the failure of calorie-restriction models, the blurred line between food addiction and eating disorders, and how this approach could reshape treatment through scalable, real-world solutions.Questions Answered in This Episode:How should we define food addiction compared to binge eating disorder?Should ultra-processed food addiction be officially recognized in the DSM?Why is food addiction harder to treat than drug or alcohol addiction?What were the key outcomes of the TOWARD study on food addiction and binge eating?Can lifestyle interventions compete with bariatric surgery or GLP-1 drugs?How can employers scale food addiction treatment for high-risk populations?Check out Dr. Kalajian's TOWARD app here.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here!✅Cowboy Colostrum - Get 25% offwhen you use code METABOLICLINK at checkout!✅Piquelife.com - Get the Pu'er Bundle for 20% off here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we focus on three key hormones that can significantly impact metabolism: insulin, leptin, and cortisol. Each of these hormones plays an essential role in regulating energy, hunger, and stress, and when imbalances occur, they may be the underlying cause of a metabolic stall or plateau. The conversation explores how insulin resistance can block fat burn, how leptin resistance can interfere with satiety signals, and how cortisol dysregulation can drive cravings and fat storage. We discuss practical strategies for identifying when these hormones are out of balance, along with food-as-medicine approaches, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to help restore harmony and support optimal metabolic function.

Can body positivity and weight loss medications like Ozempic and WeGovy coexist. Or are they destined to clash? This question has sparked debates across social media and medical offices everywhere. In this episode, I will explore the history of the body positivity movement from its 1960's roots with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance to its social media explosion in the 2010's. I will discuss how the movement challenged diet culture and promoted self-love regardless of size. Then, I will also talk about today's weight loss medication revolution and the tension it creates. Some feel that taking these drugs contradicts body positivity principles, while others face judgement for choosing medical intervention. I will address the stigma from both sides, the challenge of redefining health, and how to separate personal choice from cultural pressure. Tune in to discover why these two movements don't have to be at war and how you can find a middle ground of honoring your own health journey without judgment.   Episode Highlights: The history and evolution of body positivity movement How society judges people based on size and the ongoing work needed. The rise of drugs like Zepbound and WeGovy and their health benefits The tension between these two movements seeing it as incompatible to each other's principles. How to embrace both self-acceptance and medical tools for health.   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.

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life, we're digging into a bold reframe of cancer: it's not just about the tumor, it's about the terrain. Dr. Nasha Winters and I explore how nervous system state, mitochondrial health, oxygen, light, and circadian rhythm shape resilience and healing. We talk about why standard treatments often fall flat without nervous system regulation, how modern inputs overload our mitochondria, and the simple daily habits that create measurable shifts in terrain.If you've ever wondered why some therapies don't stick—or how breathwork, fasting, light, and minerals could matter just as much as labs and scans—this conversation connects the dots.Find both Dr. Nasha's education courses & books here: https://drnasha.com/books-and-educationKEY TAKEAWAYS:Your nervous system is step zero—nothing works if you're stuck in fight-or-flightMitochondria are the hub of terrain and energy productionOxygen and breathwork are underrated tools in prevention and recoveryDaily rhythm matters: sunrise/sunset light, post-meal walks, and overnight fastingSome “healthy” supplements (iron, calcium, glutathione, methyl donors) can fuel cancer if misusedTiming is everything—especially with red light therapyABOUT GUEST: Dr. Nasha Winters is a global leader in integrative oncology and the author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. With decades of experience, she bridges conventional care with metabolic and complementary therapies while making complex science feel accessible and empowering.

Have you ever been told to “eat less and move more” to lose weight, but always seem to gain the weight back? That's because, fundamentally, prolonged calorie restriction leads to metabolic adaptation, which actually prioritizes the loss of muscle mass, not body fat. It's not in your head! And you're not doomed!Today on Salad With a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck explores how metabolic adaptation can affect energy expenditure and muscle mass, leading to hormonal imbalances and other unwanted symptoms. Learn why "eat less, move more" is not a long-term weight loss solution and why, instead, we want to be focusing on building muscle. Jenn shares how prioritizing protein intake and fiber consumption, stress management, and getting quality sleep can help to prevent metabolic adaptation and support metabolic restoration. Discover how reverse dieting can help to restore your basal metabolic rate and other strategies to support sustainable health through gradual fat removal. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Learn why "eat less, move more" leads to muscle loss and fat regain✅ Explore nutrition strategies to prevent the effects of metabolic adaptation✅ Understand the roles stress management and sleep quality have in restoring basal metabolic rate✅ Get practical tips for restoring metabolic health, like reverse dieting, and sustaining hormonal balance for long-term healthThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight loss, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Metabolic Adaptation Explained: How Calorie Restriction Slows Basal Metabolic Rate to Survive03:40 Our bodies adapt to weight loss by reducing energy expenditure, negatively impacting our muscle mass06:41 Metabolic adaptation conserves energy, lowering basal metabolic rate during calorie restriction09:57 Increased efficiency in metabolic adaptation sheds muscle mass, harming sustainable health13:29 Metabolic adaptation can cause weight loss plateaus, drawing nutrients from the bones15:04 Hormonal imbalances from metabolic adaptation affect thyroid function19:55 Prevent metabolic adaptation with quality nutrition: protein and fiber in every meal makes removing fat no big deal28:00 How reverse dieting can help restore our body's basal metabolic rate and counter the effects of metabolic adaptation34:41 Build muscle mass with resistance training to boost metabolism and avoid metabolic adaptation38:39 Thyroid function is key to restoring basal metabolic rateKEY TAKEAWAYS:

In this week's episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I sit down with my client and former Division 1 athlete, fitness professional, and tech sales leader Nikki Zahka to unpack her journey from chronic under-fueling and hypothalamic amenorrhea to restoring her health, rebuilding her physiology, and achieving her best physique yet.We cover:NIKKI'S ATHLETIC HISTORYNIKKI'S PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORSHigh performers often burn the candle at both ends not realizing that stress adds up across life domains.WHERE NIKKI WAS AT THE START OF COACHING (JANUARY 2023)Physique looked great externally but internally her health was compromised.Chronic under-eating (1200–1350 kcal/day) with high-output training.Showing signs of suppressed physiology, poor digestion, and hormonal dysfunction.WHAT NIKKI WAS EXPERIENCING WHEN WE STARTED WORKING TOGETHEROver 3 years without a menstrual cycle.Classic RED-S biofeedback: fatigue, hormone suppression, stress overload.Chronic under-fueling led to poor quality of life despite looking “fit.”HYPOTHALAMIC AMENORRHEA (HA)Causes: low energy availability + high stress suppressing hypothalamic signaling.Effects: reduced thyroid, elevated cortisol, reduced estrogen/progesterone.RELATIVE ENERGY DEFICIENCY & LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY (LEA)Adaptable LEA: short-term, strategic, recoverable.Problematic LEA: chronic, damaging, with systemic consequences.Nikki had been in problematic LEA for years due to mismatch of intake/output.CONSEQUENCES OF RED-SHORMONAL: ↓ thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, IGF-1, leptin; ↑ cortisol.METABOLIC: suppressed RMR, reduced MPS.BONE HEALTH: ↓ bone mineral density, ↑ fracture risk.GI: constipation, digestive distress.PERFORMANCE: ↓ strength, endurance, glycogen storage, recovery; ↑ injury risk.HEMATOLOGICAL: iron deficiency → worsened thyroid function.THE PRIMER PHASEFoundation-building stage where we focused on restoring physiology, habits, and metabolic health.Pulled back from high-intensity, exhaustive training.Focused on fueling, recovery, sleep, stress management.INTENTION OF THE PRIMER PHASEReverse chronic low energy availability.NUTRIENT TIMING & WITHIN-DAY ENERGY AVAILABILITYImportance of distribution, not just daily totals.Even fueling throughout the day → reduces stress, improves recovery, supports hormones.Avoid large gaps without eating & fasted high-intensity training.OUTCOMES OF THE PRIMER PHASEAfter 6 months: improved training performance, recovery, and body recomposition.Fueling at  >2000 kcal on training days at ~110 lbs.Biofeedback improved across the board.Proof that correcting EA + structured resistance training = muscle gain & better hormone function.LEAN BUILDING PHASESNext step after Primer: structured lean muscle gain phase RESTORED MENSTRUAL CYCLE after 3+ years.Focused on performance, fueling, and health markers.Out of 55 weeks, only 6 spent dieting; most time spent building.Mindset shift: from chasing leanness to fueling abundance.LESSONS & TAKEAWAYSNikki's story is a powerful reminder that A HEALTHY BODY IS A RESPONSIVE BODY and when you prioritize physiology, the physiqueresults follow.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

Energy expenditure is one of the most fundamental yet often misunderstood aspects of human physiology. A central question is whether there is a ceiling to how many calories we can burn, and what happens when activity levels approach that limit. Grasping these dynamics is essential for health professionals and researchers, as energy balance directly influences body weight regulation, metabolic health, and athletic performance. Emerging research shows that our bodies regulate calorie burn not in a fixed manner, but through adaptation and compensation, revealing that the “calories in vs. calories out” model is far more dynamic than it may first appear. In this episode, we revisit key insights from experts such as Dr. Herman Pontzer, Dr. Brent Ruby, Dr. Mark Hopkins, Dr. Eric Trexler, and Dr. Chris Melby. These perspectives cover how the body adapts to different levels of physical activity, the metabolic adjustments during weight loss (often called adaptive thermogenesis), and the concept of energy flux in weight maintenance.

On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined once again by Dr. Phil Batterson to nerd out on one of my favorite topics: anaerobic metabolism. We dig into what's really happening during high-intensity training, the role of lactate, and why much of the “anaerobic vs. aerobic” discussion you hear is oversimplified (or just plain wrong).We also get into the nuts and bolts of how your bioenergetic systems adapt, why cardio equipment can actually be a powerful training tool, and where metabolic carts fit into the picture. Along the way, Phil drops practical examples you can use to better understand your own performance. If you want a clear, science-backed breakdown of anaerobic training without the fluff, this episode is for you.Sponsors:LMNT electrolyte drink mix: https://drinklmnt.com/Get your rower and assault bike at Rouge https://miket.me/rogueAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:04:58 Personal Updates and Business Insights12:37 Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Metabolism Discussion15:00 Training Techniques and Adaptations21:07 Challenges in Hybrid Training24:43 Exploring the ATP-PC System33:59 Introduction to Bioenergetic Systems34:05 Understanding Energy Systems in Exercise34:35 The Role of ATP and Phosphocreatine35:08 Intensity and Energy System Utilization35:46 Fatigue and Muscle Contraction36:38 Misconceptions in Exercise Physiology37:42 Lactate and Its Role in Exercise40:18 High-Intensity Training Adaptations41:46 VO2 Max and Training Protocols42:40 Balancing Aerobic and Anaerobic Training43:58 Effective Training Strategies55:00 Heart Rate and Performance Metrics01:00:07 Lactate: Myths and Realities01:09:30 Buffering Capacity and Adaptations01:16:03 BFR Bands and Intense Workouts01:16:38 The Importance of Cardiovascular Training for Lifters01:17:21 Debunking Myths About Cardiac Development01:18:04 Anaerobic and Aerobic Training Insights01:18:47 Effective Aerobic Training Strategies01:19:42 Maintaining VO2 Max with Minimal Effort01:20:12 Mitochondrial Function and Effective Workouts01:20:49 Where to Find Dr. Phil Batterson01:24:13 VO2 Max Testing and Interpretation01:28:42 Challenges in Lactate Threshold Testing01:39:00 Dynamic Range and Performance01:44:59 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFlex Diet Podcasts You May Enjoy: Episode 264: Finding Your Aerobic Sweet Spot for Peak Health with Dr Phil BattersonYouTube: https://youtu.be/5j90cmi_I6k Episode 275: Mastering Combat Sports Conditioning Using Advanced Training Techniques with Strength Coach James TognariniYouTube: https://youtu.be/t9Hc-VrsY4kConnect with Dr Phil Batterson:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drphilbatterson/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright break down five eye-opening research studies from 2025 that challenge everything you thought you knew about obesity, dieting, and metabolism. The hosts explore surprising new evidence on fitness trackers, the metabolic power of joy (and dessert!), the risks of intermittent fasting, how yo-yo dieting can damage kidney health, and the permanent impact of dieting on your brain-gut connection.Dr. Cooper shares clinical insights and explains why simple fixes—strict diets, calorie counting, and food restriction—can actually backfire, causing more harm than good. From the science of hormone signaling to the pitfalls of diet culture, the conversation reveals powerful new reasons to embrace flexibility, balance, and self-kindness on the journey to metabolic health.Key Takeaways:Fitness trackers can dramatically underestimate calorie burn—errors can reach 93%, especially for people with higher body weight. Companies rarely test enough real-world diversity and may fudge numbers for marketing.Including dessert and “forbidden foods” in your diet leads to better metabolic outcomes, greater mental stability, and less risk of binge eating or weight regain. Joyful eating helps regulate critical hormones like leptin and ghrelin.Intermittent fasting is linked to hair loss. Energy deficits force the body to use fatty acids as fuel, which can damage hair follicle stem cells. Long-term fasting negatively disrupts glucose/insulin balance and destabilizes metabolism.Yo-yo dieting (weight cycling) now shows a direct connection with kidney damage—even in those at normal weight. Rapid weight shifts restrict kidney blood flow, raise cortisol, and cause irreversible damage.Dieting creates lasting changes in the microbiome and brain-gut signaling that promote weight regain and appetite dysregulation. Even a single round of weight cycling can create stubborn metabolic obstacles.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares why dessert is a staple of her happiness—and how mental restriction backfires. Dr. Cooper gives real-world examples from patients: eating favorite foods can unlock better weight results, while “diet damage” often lingers until medical treatment repairs it. Resources from the episode:Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

A new study shows weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound don't just help with losing weight they may also protect the heart and save lives. In this episode, we look at a new study that followed over 90,000 people with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart failure. The results show that drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound don't just help with weight loss, they can cut the risk of death or hospitalization for heart failure nearly in half. We'll talk about why that matters, how these medications actually work in the body, and what you should know about side effects and access. Most importantly, we'll explore why this research could change how we think about treating obesity not just as a matter of weight, but as a way to save lives. Tune in to the full episode to hear how these weight loss drugs could also protect your heart.   Episode Highlights: The new JAMA study on Wegovy and Zepbound and their impact on heart health. How GLP-1 medications work in the body to lower risk. Why this matters for people with obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Side effects, diet, and exercise considerations when using these drugs. Challenges with access and cost of these medications.   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.

We live in a culture obsessed with treating symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, brain fog, poor sleep, as if each were an isolated problem. But what if these struggles aren't the problem at all? What if they're just the flashing check engine lights on the dashboard of your body, pointing to a deeper issue that's been hiding in plain sight: Metabolic Disease. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick pulls back the curtain on why nearly every chronic health crisis in America today — from obesity and Type 2 diabetes to heart disease, hypertension, and even dementia — can be traced back to metabolic dysfunction. He explains how the healthcare industry profits from keeping us stuck in a never-ending cycle of pills, injections, and quick fixes, rather than empowering us to address the root cause upstream. You'll also learn about Metabolic Synchronization — a practical, upstream approach that helps realign the body and mind through five key foundations: Proper diet & nutrition Proper movement & muscle development Proper sleep Proper education & mental detox Proper community & support This episode is a wake-up call: the lights are flashing, and the choice is yours. Will you keep patching symptoms downstream, or will you finally pop the hood and reclaim control of your health, your mind, and your future?

SHOWNOTES:

A lot of runners I talk to are obsessed with burning calories, cutting carbs, and logging endless miles trying to get leaner. And while running does burn some calories, it's actually not the most efficient way to change your body composition. The real magic happens when you build lean muscle mass. Today, I'm going to break down exactly how muscle boosts your metabolism, increases your fat-burning potential, improves your running economy, and helps you stay lean for life. By the end of this episode, you're going to have a whole new appreciation for your muscles—and hopefully some motivation to start strength training if you haven't already. The post 299. Muscle is Your Metabolic Secret Weapon appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

On this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry Nickelston sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, a global thought leader in integrative oncology and author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. Together, they dive into the revolutionary framework Dr. Winters has developed to help patients and practitioners alike rethink cancer care. This conversation explores how metabolic health, bio-individualized therapies, and the power of nutrition can shift the way we approach prevention, treatment, and long-term healing. Highlights from Dr. Winters' book include: How cancer is not just a genetic disease but a metabolic one, deeply tied to cellular energy and mitochondrial function. The role of the ketogenic diet and therapeutic nutrition in starving cancer cells while nourishing healthy tissues. The impact of toxin exposure and why reducing environmental and lifestyle stressors is key to healing. The importance of balancing the terrain—hormones, inflammation, immune function, microbiome, and emotional resilience. Using bio-individualized therapies—tailoring interventions to each person's unique biology rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Why building metabolic flexibility and resilience isn't just for cancer patients, but a roadmap for all of us who want to live healthier, longer, more vibrant lives. This episode is a must-listen if you want to understand the future of cancer care through the lens of whole-body healing. Website for Dr. Winters Book Purchase here

In this week's episode of The Best Guest podcast we welcome The Brain Energy Reboot Expert, Moira Newiss.We talk about:Ketogenic & Metabolic Mental HealthMitochondria, Brain Energy & FatigueAutoimmune Conditions & the Carnivore DietAbout Moira NewissMoira Newiss is a BANT registered nutritional therapist, health coach and accredited ketogenic metabolic therapy expert who specialises in brain energy, one of the recently discovered root causes of many mental health problems.Moira's passion for metabolic mental health was sparked after a 20-year career as a senior NHS manager, managing hundreds of staff and multi-million-pound budgets. Following burnout, chronic fatigue and mental illness, she retrained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and became fascinated by the link between energy, mood, mental health and metabolic health. Moira works with individuals who have conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, who have often not found a resolution with medication or psychological support alone. Her personalised approach has helped hundreds to improve their symptoms, with some achieving full remission, that means reversal, of their condition.A regular conference speaker, Moira co-authored the first mental health guidelines for nutritional therapists and published the case report ‘Remission of Schizophrenia Using a Carnivore Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy with Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Support'.Moira is lucky to live on the beautiful west coast of Scotland where she has a large garden, grows her own fruit and vegetables and has a lovely flock of hens. She also loves adventure, regularly climbing mountains, bike packing and hiking in remote spots on short expeditions. Key TakeawaysFor some people, shifting from glucose to ketone fuel can rapidly improve brain fog, mood, and energy.Common keto pitfalls include undereating fat and overeating proteinSleep, morning light, reduced evening blue light, and gentle movement support brain energy and mood.Short-term carnivore diet can be a powerful elimination protocol to calm inflammation, heal the gut and identify food triggers.Dairy-free keto is doable - use coconut fats, olive oil, tallow/lard, fatty fish; check labels on “milks” for hidden carbs.QuoteI had planned to do a hundred kilometre bike ride, and I remember crossing the finishing line thinking—and I was crying 'cause it was just an emotional thing—I just knew I cracked it. I just knew the energy was there. I'd cycled a hundred kilometres with no carbohydrates.Connect with Moira NewissWebsite: https://www.moiranewiss.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moiranewiss LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moira-newiss/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@moiranewiss Connect with Victoria BennionLearn more about us: https://thebestpodcastguest.co.uk/Download our Podcast Guest Starter Kit: The Podcast Guest Starter Kit gives you a proven plan to find the right shows, craft a winning pitch, and maximise every interview.

Many psychiatric labels—like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia—can obscure underlying biology, and symptom checklists often fail to explain or heal what's really going on. Emerging evidence reframes mental illness as a problem of brain energy, mitochondria, and inflammation—shaped by insulin signaling, circadian rhythm disruption, the gut–brain axis, toxins, infections, and nutrient status. Metabolic interventions such as ketogenic nutrition, already established for epilepsy, show promise for rebalancing neurotransmitters, lowering neuroinflammation, and improving overall brain function. With depression now a leading cause of disability, shifting from “manage the symptoms” to “fix the biology” could dramatically improve outcomes where standard drugs fall short. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Palmer, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Iain Campbell and I explore how rethinking mental illness as a metabolic and inflammatory disorder of the brain—rather than just a chemical imbalance—could transform the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric education, conducted research, and worked with people who have treatment-resistant mental illnesses. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders - conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.  Dr. lain Campbell is the first academic research fellow to specialise in Metabolic Psychiatry as the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. He has a PhD in Global Health from the University of Edinburgh and is a principal investigator on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. He is a workstream lead and co-investigator on the first publicly funded research hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, the UKRI Medical Research Council Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His research in metabolic psychiatry has been published in Nature press journals Molecular Psychiatry and Translational Psychiatry and presented at Mayo Clinic Grand Rounds and The Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

This week on Fat Science, Mark Wright, Andrea Taylor, and Dr. Emily Cooper dig deep into the science and history behind why diets don't work for lasting weight management. From early fad diets, through to modern metabolic research, the episode explains why calorie restriction often backfires—and why fueling the body is key to long-term health.Dr. Cooper unpacks the latest evidence about metabolic adaptation, the hormonal drivers of weight regain, and the persistent harms caused by repeated dieting. Listeners will leave with a renewed understanding of metabolism's complexity, the importance of medical advocacy, and the critical need to challenge diet culture and weight bias.Key TakeawaysShort-term weight loss from dieting is common, but centuries of evidence show most weight is regained—sometimes with additional harm.Metabolic adaptation and hormonal changes (like drops in leptin and rises in ghrelin) make weight regain almost inevitable for most people after calorie restriction.Repeated dieting (weight cycling) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and visceral fat, not just regaining lost weight.The biggest breakthroughs in metabolism came in the 20th century, but weight bias and diet industry profits keep the focus on ineffective short-term strategies.True long-term progress rests on regular fueling, metabolic evaluation, and avoiding the trap of repeated restrictive diets.Expert Insights & Practical AdviceDr. Cooper highlights landmark studies (Minnesota Starvation Experiment, Dutch famine, the "Biggest Loser" follow-up) illustrating how diets slow metabolism and can even cause lasting damage.The science behind metabolic hormones—leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, GLP-1—shows why the body fights back against weight loss and why medications must be paired with metabolic support, not additional restriction.Reflections on weight bias in medicine, the need for informed consent around diets, and how current research is still catching up to clinical reality.Personal Stories & Culture CritiqueAndrea shares how social circles demonstrate the futility of diets and the cycle of weight loss and regain.Mark recounts professional experiences highlighting systemic bias and cultural attitudes toward weight and health, advocating for preventive medicine as the path forward.The hosts challenge listeners to rethink their relationship with food, prioritize health, and push back against societal shame and stigma.Resources from the EpisodeFat Science is committed to debunking the myths about metabolism, diabetes, and fat.

Have you heard about people buying weight loss medications from unregulated sources online? The rise of black market weight loss drugs is putting lives at risk. In this episode, I discuss the concerning trend of people purchasing Retatrutide—a medication still in clinical trials—through illegal channels. Known as the "Godzilla Jab" for its potential power, early studies suggest this drug could help people lose up to 24% of their body weight. I explain what Retatrutide is and how it compares to FDA-approved medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. We explore why people take dangerous risks with black market drugs, from social media hype to cost concerns and access issues. Most importantly, I share the serious health and legal risks of buying unregulated medications and provide clear guidelines for safely accessing weight loss treatments through licensed providers. Tune in to learn how to protect yourself and make informed decisions about weight loss medications the safe way.   Episode Highlights: What is Retatrutide The dangers of purchasing unregulated medications online Factors driving people to illegal sources Legal risks of buying unapproved drugs and potential health complications from unregulated substances Safe Medication Practices Understanding that medication works best when combined with healthy eating, physical activity, adequate rest, and emotional support   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.

REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode examines a comprehensive narrative review analyzing fasting's profound effects on metabolic hormones and functions across 13 different studies and fasting protocols. Dr. Scott and Tommy reveal a game-changing mental approach: shift from counting down your fasting timer to counting up the powerful benefits accumulating in your body during each fast. The research demonstrates remarkable results from consistent intermittent fasting practices - 24-hour fasts performed three times weekly in women produced increased antioxidant activity, weight reduction, improved morning glucose levels, better A1C readings, and significant improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Learn how 16:8 time-restricted eating for 12 weeks dramatically enhanced multiple metabolic markers in patients with metabolic syndrome, while understanding the crucial differences between fasting effects in lean individuals versus those with excess weight. The hosts clarify testosterone concerns, explaining why lean men may see temporary decreases with extended fasting protocols (typically due to inadvertent under-eating) while overweight men experience increases through improved testicular function and reduced estrogen conversion. Discover practical strategies for building sustainable fasting habits through progressive skill development rather than perfectionist approaches, including proper electrolyte management, leveraging gut microbiome improvements, and strategic meal planning for optimal fast-breaking. This episode reframes fasting as a learnable skill requiring practice and adaptation, providing specific guidance for developing your personal fasting toolkit based on your health status, body composition, and long-term metabolic optimization goals. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Have you ever wondered if true health isn't about the latest health solution, but about getting back to what your body was designed to do? On this episode, I connected with Dr. Ryan Williamson, a neurologist, to discuss the link between brain and body health. We covered how lifestyle choices impact metabolic health, preventing chronic conditions. We also explored foundational habits like sleep, movement, and nutrition, and then dove into strategies like cold exposure and meditation to boost focus and control. Dr. Williamson emphasized personal empowerment through intentional daily design. Key takeaways Brain health and body transformation are interconnected, rather than separate issues. The majority of chronic diseases and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's are primarily influenced by lifestyle choices (90-99%) rather than genetics. Metabolic health is crucial, with factors like blood sugar, cholesterol, and body mass working together like a "symphony". Building and maintaining muscle mass is essential, as muscles are the largest reservoir for glucose, helping regulate blood sugar and lowering the risk of chronic disease and all-cause mortality. Many people are unaware of their true stress levels or how stuck they feel, with the brain often acting as a protective mechanism that can hinder personal growth. Establishing foundational habits (movement, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and hydration) is crucial before pursuing advanced performance hacks. Optimizing your circadian rhythm through morning sunlight and an intentional evening wind-down routine significantly enhances sleep quality, focus, and overall performance. Practices like cold exposure (in the morning) can boost sustained focus and alertness by releasing norepinephrine and dopamine. Meditation physically rewires the brain, increasing the thickness of the prefrontal cortex and enhancing control over the fear center (amygdala), leading to improved judgment and reduced reactivity.
