In this episode, Rick Mayo and Matt Helland discuss the science and psychology behind the Alloy method of training frequency.With over three decades of experience, Rick and Matt explain why 2-3 days a week is ideal for the majority of Alloy clients, especially those 40 and older.They break down the physiological and psychological benefits of less frequent, high-quality training, including better strength gains, improved insulin sensitivity, reduced injury risk, and elevated mood.Alloy's structured programming delivers a “minimal effective dose” that respects recovery while maximizing results.Listen in and find out why less is truly more when it comes to lasting fitness.Key TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Benefits of two to three days a week training (04:30)Metabolic and joint health benefits (07:09)Psychological and energy benefits (13:20)Reduced risk of overuse injuries (16:12)Minimal effective dose and programming (17:20)Client education and sales tactics (19:00)Success stories and brand integrity (23:53)Additional Resources:- Alloy Personal Training- Learn About The Alloy Franchise Opportunity---------You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

Send us a textLife Enthusiast Martin Pytella's journey from systems analyst to health engineer began with a catastrophic event - receiving mercury dental fillings that triggered a cascade of health problems, including debilitating back pain that left him crawling on all fours. Applying his analytical skills to his own health crisis, Martin discovered what he calls the "four pillars of disease": toxicity, malnutrition, stagnation, and emotional trauma.In this fascinating conversation, Martin reveals how understanding your metabolic type is crucial for optimal health. He explains that people fall along two continuums - oxidation rate and autonomic nervous system dominance - which determine how different foods affect your body chemistry, weight patterns, and even emotional states. This genetic individuality explains why some thrive on high-protein diets while others need more carbohydrates, depending on factors like thyroid or adrenal dominance.The discussion dives deep into how ancestral diets shaped our genetic adaptations, from Norwegian populations dependent on fish and fermented foods to tropical cultures thriving on fruit-based diets. Martin explains why the standard American diet creates universal harm through refined ingredients, damaged oils, and glyphosate-contaminated GMO foods. He connects these industrial food problems to larger systemic issues, noting how agricultural subsidies make unhealthy foods artificially cheap while creating massive healthcare costs.Through his companies Life Enthusiast and Exsula, Martin offers solutions including an advanced metabolic typing test and superfood blends containing up to 350 ingredients micronized for maximum absorption. His approach emphasizes personalized nutrition and detoxification rather than one-size-fits-all medicine. As Martin puts it, "your headache isn't caused by an Excedrin deficiency" - true healing requires addressing root causes unique to each individual.Ready to discover your metabolic type and take control of your health?

Dr. Christopher Palmer is a friend and regular guest on this program and he never disappoints.  This week he takes us on a fascinating journey through the groundbreaking connection between metabolism and mental health, revealing how the foods we eat profoundly impact not just our bodies but our minds. As a Harvard psychiatrist and director of the Metabolic and Mental Health Program at McLean Hospital, Chris shares compelling evidence that many psychiatric conditions may fundamentally be disorders of brain energy.The conversation opens with alarming statistics about our growing mental health crisis - from quadrupling autism rates to skyrocketing depression and anxiety - and connects these trends to parallel increases in metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity. Chris explains how these seemingly separate epidemics share common biological roots in cellular energy production.Most powerfully, Chris shares transformative case studies from his clinical practice, including a patient with treatment-resistant schizoaffective disorder whose hallucinations and delusions improved dramatically on a ketogenic diet. These experiences aren't isolated incidents but reflect a growing body of research suggesting ketogenic diets can beneficially alter brain chemistry by improving mitochondrial function - the cellular powerhouses responsible for energy production.The discussion extends beyond serious mental illness to everyday struggles like burnout, anxiety, and depression. An orthopedic surgeon contemplating early retirement due to severe burnout completely revitalized his passion for medicine through metabolic interventions - highlighting how energy deficits at the cellular level manifest as psychological symptoms that conventional treatments often fail to address.Visit brainenergy.com to access free resources, take Dr. Palmer's self-assessment, and learn more about the revolutionary field of metabolic psychiatry that's offering new hope to millions suffering from treatment-resistant mental health conditions.This episode is sponsored by Rio.life which emphasizes metabolically healthy food choices in their programs.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright explore the concept of “male menopause” and whether it's backed by science. Dr. Cooper breaks down hormonal changes in men, including testosterone decline, metabolic dysfunction, and the myths surrounding andropause. The episode dives into why men and women experience aging differently, how metabolism ties into hormone shifts, and what really happens to male fertility and energy over time. After listening, you'll understand why “male menopause” isn't the full story and what really matters for men's health as they age.Key Takeaways:There's no sudden “male menopause”—testosterone declines gradually in men, unlike the rapid hormonal changes seen in female menopause.Metabolic dysfunction can suppress testosterone in men, leading to fatigue, muscle loss, and changes in body fat distribution.Converting testosterone to estrogen in belly fat can further suppress testosterone, creating a cycle that impacts energy and mood.Testosterone therapy might be beneficial for some men with low levels, but should always be guided by a healthcare provider after thorough evaluation.Most supplements marketed to “boost testosterone” are unproven and potentially unsafe—focus on medical advice and proper testing.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Mark shares his journey with testosterone treatment and how restoring balance improved his mood and energy.Andrea and Dr. Cooper discuss the importance of understanding individual lab results, getting the full metabolic picture, and consulting with primary care providers before considering hormone therapy.Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.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.

BUFFALO, NY — June 12, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 3, 2025, titled “APOE genotype and biological age impact inter-omic associations related to bioenergetics.” In this study, led by first author Dylan Ellis and corresponding author Noa Rappaport from the Institute for Systems Biology, researchers discovered that different versions of the APOE gene—particularly ε2 and ε4—are linked to metabolic patterns associated with aging and Alzheimer's disease risk. Both variants were linked to increased levels of diacylglycerols, a type of fat molecule connected to insulin resistance and inflammation, suggesting shared disruptions in how the body regulates energy. The research team analyzed data from over 2,200 adults without an Alzheimer's diagnosis, exploring how APOE genotypes influence biological age, a measure of health that reflects how quickly or slowly someone is aging at a cellular level. They found that the same metabolic disturbances seen in ε2 carriers were also present in people considered biologically older, revealing unexpected overlap between genetic risk and aging-related metabolic changes. To examine these connections in more detail, the researchers used a multi-omics approach, combining blood-based metabolism and protein data, gut bacteria analysis from stool samples, and clinical chemistry data. This method allowed them to map how genetic differences and biological aging affect the body's energy systems. They observed altered connections between glucose metabolism, inflammatory markers, and key molecules that play roles in energy production, indicating early disruptions that could contribute to age-related diseases. One of the study's surprising findings was that the ε2 variant, usually associated with longer life and reduced Alzheimer's risk, showed metabolic traits similar to those found in insulin-resistant individuals. This suggests that ε2 may carry metabolic disadvantages earlier in life, with its protective effects becoming more pronounced later. Conversely, ε4—linked to greater Alzheimer's risk—may exert its influence based on interactions with lifestyle factors like diet, sex, and overall health status. “‘Omics association patterns of ε2-carriers and increased biological age were also counter-intuitively similar, displaying significantly increased associations between insulin resistance markers and energy-generating pathway metabolites.” By identifying these shared biological signatures, this study offers a new framework for understanding how genes and metabolism work together to influence aging. These findings could support more personalized health strategies aimed at delaying biological aging and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. As aging populations grow worldwide, understanding these pathways is essential to improving healthspan.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), also known as fatty liver disease, is a chronic liver condition that affects nearly 1 in 3 people worldwide. It is closely linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Unchecked, it can progress to a more severe form of disease called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). Prognosticating the risk of disease progression in MASLD and MASH has traditionally involved liver biopsy, a process that involves removing a tissue sample with a hollow needle and then examining the sample under a microscope to diagnose and stage disease. However, biopsy has many limitations. Additionally, drug development for MASLD and MASH has proceeded slowly in part due to a reliance on liver biopsy to determine drug efficacy.Recently, increasing evidence is suggesting that non-invasive options, for example, imaging examinations along with blood tests that assess likelihood of disease progression such as the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test, may effectively reduce the need for the more invasive alternative. Key experts in MASLD and MASH share their perspectives about how clinical evidence supports a shift in the way patients with MASLD and MASH could be evaluated in clinical practice and in research.Host Matt Gee, Director of Collaborations and External Engagement at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Prof. William Rosenberg, Deputy Director of the Institute for Liver and Digestive Health at University College London as well as Dr. Veronica Miller, Director of the Forum for Collaborative Research at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health; Dr. Arun Sanyal, Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Molecular Pathology in the Division of Gastroenterology at Virginia Commonwealth University; and Dr. Michelle Long, International Medical Vice President of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis at Novo Nordisk and Associate Professor in the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Boston University.What you'll learn in this episode:Liver biopsy creates several obstacles for patients and has limitationsDrug development faces challenges by the reliance on biopsy as a measure of treatment effectivenessNon-invasive tools may be suitable alternatives to liver biopsy both in clinical practice and in drug developmentConnect with Matt GeeLinkedIn Connect with Veronica MillerLinkedInConnect with William RosenbergLinkedInConnect with Michelle LongLinkedInConnect with Arun SanyalVCU.edu Hosted on Acast.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright explore the expanding world of telehealth in treating metabolic issues. Dr. Cooper sheds light on both the promise and pitfalls of accessing medications like GLP-1s through online platforms. The episode dives into the effectiveness of patient-provider relationships, the importance of comprehensive and personalized care, and the potential red flags in impersonal telehealth services. After listening, you'll understand the benefits of telehealth and why thoughtful, thorough medical guidance is crucial for metabolic health.Key Takeaways:Telehealth has improved accessibility and convenience for metabolic care, but not all platforms offer the same quality of support.The lack of personalized interaction and lab-based assessments in many telehealth services can pose risks to patient health.Quick, transactional telehealth models often prioritize medication sales over holistic care and ongoing patient monitoring.Comprehensive care requires detailed history-taking, follow-up, and lab work—elements often missing in mass-market telehealth.Listeners should watch for red flags such as no direct provider interaction, absence of lab testing, and subscription models tied to product sales.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea reflects on her own journey and the difference a dedicated, whole-person approach made to her health.Dr. Cooper shares her experience testing a mass-market telehealth site, exposing the superficial nature of some programs.The panel urges listeners to seek out board-certified providers and reputable telehealth organizations for genuine care.Link to US National telehealth clinics with Board Certified Obesity Medicine providers: Knownwell (non-affiliated)Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.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.

Have you ever wondered why some people exercise religiously and follow all the right diets but still struggle with weight and metabolic health? Dr. Brian Lenzkes, ten-time recipient of San Diego's "Best Doctor" award, reveals the missing pieces in our understanding of metabolic health that might be sabotaging your efforts.Dr. Lenzkes opens up about his personal journey through metabolic dysfunction despite being a practicing physician with all the "right" knowledge. When his blood sugar reached pre-diabetic levels despite regular exercise and following conventional dietary guidance, he knew something fundamental was missing from mainstream medicine's approach.The breakthrough came from an unexpected source—an elderly patient who lost 40 pounds through intermittent fasting. This led Dr. Lenzkes down a path that transformed his medical practice, helping patients come off diabetes medications completely and reverse conditions he once believed were permanent.In this conversation, Dr. Lenzkes delivers several shocking revelations. First, the blood sugar tests your doctor runs might be missing the most important marker of metabolic health—insulin levels. He explains how high insulin can silently damage your body for years before blood sugar numbers ever change. Second, he explains why muscle mass might be the single most important factor for longevity, even more significant than avoiding smoking or drinking. Finally, he demonstrates through patient stories how stress, poor sleep, and even arguments with loved ones can spike blood sugar more dramatically than eating cookies.Whether you're struggling with weight loss plateaus, puzzling blood sugar readings, or just want to understand why conventional medical wisdom keeps failing so many people, Dr. Lenzkes offers practical insights that bridge traditional medicine with cutting-edge lifestyle approaches. His message is ultimately one of hope—that with the right understanding of how our bodies actually work, many of the metabolic conditions considered "chronic" might actually be reversible.Ready to discover what might be missing in your health journey? Listen now to understand the surprising connections between stress, muscle, insulin resistance, and lasting health.Enjoyed this episode?

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright answer listener questions from around the world about metabolic health. This mailbag episode explores widely-debated topics like “starvation mode,” weight loss plateaus, the relationship between metabolism and cognitive health, cannabis and metabolism, metabolic effects of liposuction, and the latest on GLP-1 medications.Key Takeaways:Dr. Cooper dispels myths around “starvation mode,” citing research on the long-term metabolic impact of dieting and caloric restriction.Weight loss plateaus are often misunderstood—Dr. Cooper explains the natural adaptations behind them and how to assess true progress.Metabolic health plays a major role in brain function, cognitive decline, depression, and dementia prevention.Cannabis affects metabolic pathways in complex ways, with regular use potentially causing negative metabolic effects.Liposuction can trigger metabolic rebound and rapid fat regain for some patients, especially when leptin levels are low.Updates on GLP-1 meds: Liraglutide is available in generic form, but costs fluctuate. New oral and combination therapies are on the horizon.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea and Mark reflect on their own journeys with dieting, weight plateaus, and medication.Dr. Cooper shares clinical experiences with metabolic rebound after liposuction and ways to navigate pharmacologic treatments.Correction: Lilly has a lower cash pay for Medicare and Medicaid, but Novo Nordisk is not yet.References related to diet-induced metabolic adaptation, also called biological adaptation and defense of body weight. 1.

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.

Did you know that your body has its own unique weight loss blueprint and it might be the key to finally seeing results? In this episode, I explore the concept of obesity phenotypes and why one-size-fits-all approaches to weight loss often fail. I dive into the four main types I see in my practice: Hungry Brain, Emotional Hunger, Hungry Gut, and Slow Burn, and how understanding which one you align with can dramatically improve your treatment strategy. I also reflect on my own experiences, and those of my patients, emphasizing that it's not about willpower but biology and behavior. By identifying your phenotype, you can better tailor diets, medications, and lifestyle changes that work with your body instead of against it.

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.
