The Hume Health Body Pod is the smart health scale Nurse Doza uses daily — at home, in the clinic, and everywhere in between. With 8 multi-frequency sensors and accuracy within 2% of a DEXA scan, it measures 45+ health metrics including muscle mass, visceral fat, bone density, heart rate, and metabolic age in just 3-5 seconds. As discussed in this episode, putting real body composition data in your hands is the key to becoming your own health advocate.

Peptides. GLP-1s. Metabolic health.What's real—and what's misunderstood?In this episode, Dr. Kyle Gillett joins the show to unpack the science and clinical reality behind some of the most talked-about tools in modern medicine. We cover how GLP-1s actually work, where peptides fit in, common mistakes people make, and how lifestyle still underpins everything.This is an evidence-based conversation designed to cut through hype and give you clarity.

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee is not normal, even if it only happens once. This episode reveals why nighttime urination is an early metabolic warning sign, not a bladder or prostate issue. Ben explains how insulin resistance, blood sugar spikes, cortisol, and disrupted hormones interfere with deep sleep, fat burning, and brain detoxification. When sleep is interrupted, belly fat increases, hormones fall out of balance, and the brain's nighttime cleaning process shuts down. You'll learn the five main metabolic causes behind nighttime urination, including late-night eating, alcohol, electrolyte imbalance, high cortisol, and fluid shifts in the body. Ben also shares simple changes you can start tonight to sleep through the night again. This episode breaks down why most doctors miss this signal, how insulin resistance can exist years before diabetes, and how fixing metabolic signals can restore sleep, energy, fat loss, and long-term health. If you're waking up to pee, feeling wired but tired, or struggling with stubborn belly fat, this episode could change everything.

A McGill University study found that childhood adversity combined with altered brain insulin signaling increases metabolic disease risk in women, even before clinical signs like diabetes or heart disease appear Early stress reprograms brain regions that govern reward, impulse control, and energy balance, raising visceral fat storage and disrupting insulin sensitivity decades after the original stress occurred Women with higher brain insulin signaling activity were more vulnerable to metabolic harm from childhood stress, showing greater fat gain and a higher risk for metabolic syndrome than men Stress-related metabolic disruption often remains undetected because changes like visceral fat buildup and inflammation occur below standard clinical thresholds, delaying recognition until the disease is more advanced Reducing ongoing stress, improving insulin sensitivity, limiting linoleic acid (LA) intake, restoring energy production, and supporting hormonal balance can help counteract early stress and lower long-term metabolic risk

Around the world, we're seeing declining sperm counts, rising infertility, more erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone—even in younger men. These trends aren't just affecting family planning; they're pointing to something much bigger happening in men's health. Joining me today on The Dr. Hyman Show is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford researcher and leading voice in male reproductive health. We talk about why sperm quality matters far beyond fertility—and how everyday health choices quietly shape it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL] We cover: • Why sperm quality may be one of the strongest early indicators of overall health and longevity • How metabolic dysfunction, belly fat, and low testosterone impact fertility and sexual function • The role environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors play in declining sperm counts • What men can do right now to protect fertility and long-term vitality When we look at fertility through the lens of whole-body health, it changes how we think about prevention, risk, and longevity. Male fertility isn't just about reproduction. It's a signal. Register for The Ultra Learning Series: Functional Fertility on Thursday, February 12 at 12PM ET here.

Send us a textA quiet glow at midnight can echo through your biology like a shout. We dig into new research showing that even modest night light is tied to higher risks of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and coronary disease—and we connect the dots to circadian rhythm, metabolism, and the choices we make at home every evening. This isn't fearmongering; it's a roadmap for reclaiming sleep, stabilizing blood pressure, and improving insulin sensitivity with tools you already have.We break down how light at night elevates stress hormones, flattens the nocturnal blood pressure dip, and disrupts the cellular repair that should dominate while you sleep. We also unpack a striking analysis of more than 130,000 adults with insomnia: chronic melatonin users were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure and faced higher all-cause mortality compared with matched non-users. The signal is associative, but the magnitude invites caution and a rethink. Instead of flooding the brain with a nightly dose, we focus on rebuilding your own melatonin through light timing: bright and blue by day, warm and dim by night, and truly dark for sleep.You'll leave with a simple, science-backed plan. Step outside for morning light to anchor your clock. Two hours before bed, step down brightness and remove blue wavelengths—aim for about one lux, roughly a moonlit room. Use warm 2700K bulbs, dimmers, and screen night modes from sunset to sunrise. Align meals with daylight, avoid late-night snacking, and give your nervous system a real off switch. Small changes to photons can nudge hormones, vessels, and mitochondria in the right direction within weeks.If this conversation sparks an “aha,” share it with a friend who struggles with sleep, hit follow for more science-backed self-care, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. What's the one lighting habit you'll change tonight?For references, video and slide deck: www.thehealthedgepodcast.com

Please join us in Silver Spring MD Feb 20 and 21. It's going to be amazing. We're going to Nashville next March 6-7 and we're going to have a great event a Club 1921 we just added on Thursday March 5th for health care providers and patient leaders. All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/ Okay.. our top story this week: XX   All UK children could be offered screening for type 1 diabetes using a simple finger-prick blood test, say researchers who have been running a large study. This is the ELSA study - Early Surveillance for Autoimmune diabetes, a first of its kind UK study. They tested blood samples from 17,931 children aged 3-13 for autoantibodies, markers of type 1 diabetes that can appear years before symptoms. Families of children found to have early-stage type 1 diabetes received tailored education and ongoing support to prepare for the eventual onset of type 1 diabetes symptoms and to ensure insulin therapy can begin promptly when needed, reducing the chances of needing emergency treatment. Those with one autoantibody also received ongoing support and monitoring.   Some families were also offered teplizumab, the first ever immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes, which can delay the need for insulin by around three years in people with early-stage type 1 diabetes. The second phase has launched and will expand screening to all children in the UK aged 2-17 years, with a focus on younger children (2-3 years) and older teenagers (14-17 years). The research team aims to recruit 30,000 additional children across these new age groups. ELSA 2 will assess how screening can be scaled across the NHS and evaluate its cost-effectiveness. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2026/childhood-type-1-diabetes-screening-is-effective-and-could-prevent-thousands-of-emergency-diagnoses XX At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Dexcom CEO Jake Leach says they're going to launch a new product outside the US. I'll link up that interview, The full quote: "When you look at the outside the U.S., there are a lot of structures that are tiered. Patients have access to different types of products, so we've got a new one that we want to introduce that will add flexibility there. It's based on the G7 platform, just like Dexcom ONE+, but it has a unique experience that's tailored for a subset of users that, today, don't have access to Dexcom." Your guess is as good as mine, but sounds more like a pricing or ordering issue than a new bit of hardware or software. Dexcom will also bring Stelo to some international markets this year. And plans a new mobile app experience for the wearable biosensor meant for people who don't dose insulin. Leach also says G8 will be much smaller and with more capability. but is a few years away. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-ceo-jake-leach-2026-roadmap-jpm/ XX A new international consensus statement provides guidance for the use of diabetes technology during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or gestational diabetes (GD).   Organized by the diaTribe Foundation, the document was based on evidence where available, as well as opinion from an international group of experts in endocrinology, diabetes technology, and obstetrics & gynecology, among others.   This is the first set of recommendations specifically addressing the use of diabetes technology in pregnancy – and we'll link it up. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-consensus-statement-addresses-diabetes-tech-pregnancy-2026a100020d XX Bariatric surgery beats GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes across income levels. This study was published this month, looking at nearly 300 patients are 4 medical centers. Success here is measured by lower blood glucose levels, higher weight loss (28% vs. 10%), less use of diabetes medications, remission of diabetes to the point of no longer needing to inject insulin, and reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease.     Bariatric surgery was better than medical therapy across all social backgrounds, they found, and not just in areas of higher deprivation. The ancillary study was smaller, and some of the participants randomized in earlier stages crossed over from medical to surgical treatment, and the reverse. The authors acknowledged and accounted for these limitations, along with the rapid development of more powerful obesity drugs not fully captured in the study. This was a long term study – more than 12 years – and by the end of the study more people were choosing GLP1 medications. One dividing line: If someone hopes to lose 100 pounds, that's more likely with surgery than with medications.  "Ultimately, we need large, long-term, well-designed studies to clarify the best strategy for a given patient." https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/19/diabetes-study-bariatric-surgery-better-than-glp-1s/ XX Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have reported for the first time that a father's exposure to microplastics (MPs) can lead to metabolic problems in his children, including diabetes. This is a mouse study, but it looks at a previously unrecognized way in which environmental pollution may influence the health of future generations. MPs are extremely small plastic fragments, measuring less than 5 millimeters, that form as consumer products and industrial materials break down. Metabolic disorders describe a group of conditions that include elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, all of which raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The team found that female offspring of male mice exposed to MPs were far more prone to metabolic disorders than offspring of unexposed fathers, even though all offspring received the same high fat diet.     The research team hopes the findings will guide future investigation into how MPs and even smaller nanoplastics affect human development.   https://scitechdaily.com/microplastics-can-rewire-sperm-triggering-diabetes-in-the-next-generation/ XX The FDA has finalized four new recalls for certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to ongoing safety concerns. We told you about this in November when Abbott says some of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors were providing incorrect low glucose warnings. Internal testing identified the issue—carbon building up in the sensors during the manufacturing process—and determined that approximately 3 million CGM sensors were affected. The sensors were distributed in the United States, Canada and several European countries.  When Abbott shared that announcement, the FDA was still reviewing the situation. No recalls had yet been finalized. Now, however, the agency has announced four new Class I recalls.   https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-health/fda-confirms-recalls-abbott-cgm-sensors-new-lawsuit-alleges-company-concealed-information XX   Insulet brings back it's U.S. Pod recycling program, now making it available to all U.S. customers. The Pod recycling program, offered at no cost to customers, enables users to request a recycling kit online. This allows them to return their used Omnipods. Insulet then decontaminates the returned Pods before transporting them to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products. Insulet began recycling pilot programs in Mass and California and are rolling it out nationwide. Insulet also has "Pod takeback" programs outside the U.S. in several international markets. These programs enable customers to request a takeback kit by contacting their local customer support team.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-expands-us-pod-recycling-program/ XX Up next a new resource for a population at three times the risk for diabetes, but without a lot of access to health information. I The first diabetes information website primarily in ASL has launched. The site includes GIFs and videos on diabetes management and an ASL glossary of diabetes-related terms. This is from University of Utah Health – Called Deaf Diabetes Can Together. Deaf and hard of hearing people are at three times higher risk for diabetes, but access to health information in ASL is limited. https://healthcare.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2026/01/first-diabetes-information-website-asl-launches XX Novo Nordisk ended all work on cell therapies, including a Type 1 diabetes program, in October – and now has found a buyer. Aspect has acquired rights to the assets and giving Novo an option to reengage for later-stage development and commercialization. Novo is helping bankroll Aspect's development of the assets, investing in the company and providing research funding. The arrangement gives Novo a chance to profit from the programs down the line. Novo is eligible for royalties and milestone payments on future product sales and, having handed the reins to Aspect for now, can expand its role in later-stage development and commercialization. The integration will involve the transfer of capabilities and expertise from Novo sites in Denmark and the U.S. to Aspect's Canadian operations. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/novo-nordisk-offloads-diabetes-assets-aspect-amid-cell-therapy-retreat XX XX Lucas Escobar has carved a role by proving that healthcare marketing can be culturally resonant, commercially powerful and deeply human. As director and head of U.S. consumer marketing at Insulet, he has redefined how the Omnipod tubeless insulin pump shows up in culture, transforming a medical device into a symbol of identity, inclusion and empowerment.   Under Escobar's leadership, Insulet launched three breakthrough initiatives: Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a Marvel comic collaboration introducing a superhero who uses Omnipod; The Pod Drop, which turned the sound of a pod change into a celebratory music track; and Omnipod Mango x Pantone, medtech's first color partnership, honoring the vibrancy of the diabetes community. Each blended creativity with purpose while driving results, helping fuel Omnipod's consistent double-digit growth and its position as the most prescribed insulin pump in the U.S.   Living with type 1 diabetes himself, Escobar brings lived experience to his work, using storytelling not just to sell, but to make people feel seen.   Click here to return to the 2026 MM+M 40 Under 40 homepage.   From the January 01, 2026 Issue of MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media https://www.mmm-online.com/40-under-40/40-under-40-lucas-escobar-insulet/ -- FDA approves an update to the prescribing info for Afrezza inhaled insulin. This is a revision to the recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from shots or insulin pumps. This is aimed at healthcare providers - the updated labeling was supported by results from the INHALE-3 trial. The FDA is still considering approval of Afrezza for kids – a decision there expect by summer. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/26/3225442/29517/en/MannKind-Announces-FDA-Approval-of-Updated-Afrezza-Label-Providing-Starting-Dose-Guidance-when-Switching-from-Multiple-Daily-Injections-MDI-or-Insulin-Pump-Mealtime-Therapy.html   -- UK researchers have developed a calculator to predict whether someone is at risk for type 1 diabetes. They're hoping this helps in screening and in preventing DKA at diagnosis. They used the TEDDY study to create this calculator, which right now is in beta form and only for kids and teens ages 8-18. The current beta form of the calculator asks users to answer questions about four factors necessary to estimate a child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes: age, family history, number of confirmed autoantibodies, and genetic risk score. The calculator has been given regulatory approval as a diagnostic in the U.K., and he's working with a company that's hoping to bring it to the U.S. in the next few months in the form of a home genetic test kit. https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/new-calculator-might-help-predict-type-1-diabetes-before-symptoms-appear

What if the sequence we've always assumed—plaque causes arterial stiffness—is actually backwards? Dr. Lily Johnston proposes that impaired nitric oxide signaling may stiffen arteries first, creating the endothelial injury that then promotes plaque formation.Dr. Lily Johnston is a board-certified vascular surgeon and newly certified obesity medicine physician who bridges the operating room and metabolic medicine. After years of scraping plaque from arterial walls, she began questioning why surgical outcomes remain so modest—and discovered that what she was treating might represent the end stage of multiple distinct disease phenotypes, not a single condition.In this episode, Dr. Johnston shares her forest fire analogy for understanding LDL risk, explains why tissue surrounding diseased arteries shows profound inflammation even in first-time surgeries, and reveals why 80–90% of the operations she performs could potentially be prevented with upstream metabolic intervention.Questions Answered in This Episode:Do metabolically healthy people with elevated LDL need the same treatment as those with active disease?Why might someone with "great" biomarkers still have significant plaque burden?What will individualized cardiovascular treatment look like in 20 years?To what extent is vascular disease a metabolic disease—and is this accepted in vascular surgery?Where do you stand on the LDL particle number vs. metabolic context debate?What percentage of vascular surgeries could have been avoided with earlier metabolic intervention?A surgeon's-eye view of what happens when metabolic dysfunction goes unaddressed for decades—and a practical framework for intervening before the fire starts.Find more of Dr. Johnston online:Live Q&AYoutube channelLinkedInCoresight HealthSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here.✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ MudWtr – Get up to 43% off + free shipping and a free rechargeable frother with code METABOLICLINK here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Alzheimer's doesn't begin with memory loss. It begins years earlier with metabolic dysfunction. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why Alzheimer's is now being referred to as “Type 3 Diabetes” and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and chronic stress silently damage the brain long before symptoms appear. You'll learn why genetics are not your destiny, how the brain becomes starved for fuel despite high blood sugar, and why waiting for symptoms is already too late. Ben breaks down the science behind hippocampal shrinkage, reduced glucose uptake in the brain, and the role of cortisol in cognitive decline. This episode introduces the 15-Minute Brain Reboot, a simple daily protocol designed to protect and rebuild brain health: Daily fasting to switch the brain's fuel from sugar to ketones Zone 2 movement to increase blood flow and grow new brain cells Gratitude (“Vitamin G”) to lower stress hormones and protect neurons Ben also answers common questions about genetics, brain games, fasting safety, supplements, and why prevention isn't emphasized in conventional medicine. The takeaway is clear: you're not broken, you're early. With consistent daily habits, your brain can heal, adapt, and stay sharp for decades to come.

A new Nutrients study shows that drinking 12 ounces of 100% elderberry juice daily for a week helped overweight adults activate more genes that regulate how the body uses energy after meals than a placebo Elderberry juice turned on processes that help the body manage energy better — making it easier to switch between burning carbohydrates and fat for fuel Earlier research from Washington State University showed elderberry juice improved blood sugar control, increased fat burning, and shifted energy use during meal challenges Practical tip: Aim for about 12 ounces of unsweetened, 100% elderberry juice daily for seven days. Check labels to avoid added sugars, as unsweetened juice still contains about 30 to 36 grams of natural sugar per eight-ounce serving Safety first: Never eat raw elderberries, check for medication interactions (such as immunosuppressants or diabetes drugs), and consult a healthcare provider before using if you are breastfeeding or have an autoimmune condition

Sujatha is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and Ohio, a Licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in Colorado, a Board-Certified Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine practitioner, certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, holosomatic breathwork therapist, and yoga therapist. With over 35 years of Ayurvedic practice in the U.S. and 25 years in the mental health field, she brings a rare depth of perspective to the conversation. She is the founder and executive director of Ayumind LLC and Heartland Wellness PLLC, and also owns a Humanly mental health franchise in Lakewood, Colorado.Together, we explore the Ayurvedic understanding of mental health as a metabolic and systemic process rather than a standalone diagnosis. Sujatha explains the concept of the koshas, the layers of self, and how disconnection across these layers contributes to anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. She shares how the gunas shape our mental and emotional states, and how practices like breathwork, meditation, mantra, yoga therapy, and personalized Ayurvedic protocols can release stored trauma and restore balance. This episode offers a powerful look at truly integrative mental health care, blending Ayurveda, Western psychology, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to address root causes rather than symptoms, while emphasizing the importance of resilience, community, and reconnection to self in healing.TakeawaysAyurveda views mental health as a metabolic disorder.The mind is interconnected with the body and spirit.Understanding the koshas helps in addressing mental health.Disconnection from self leads to anxiety and depression.Breathwork can release trauma stored in the body.The gunas influence our mental and emotional states.Personalized programs are essential for mental health.Holistic approaches integrate body, mind, and spirit.Ayurvedic practices can enhance resilience and well-being.Community and social engagement are vital for mental health.

Dr. Andrew Best is a professor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts where he focuses on evolutionary questions about human physiology. You can email him at andrew.best@mcla.edu.  His latest study was titled "Ultra Endurance Athletes and the Metabolic Ceiling." They looked at the maximum, sustainable amount of energy expenditure that can be done over a long time period. It answers the question, "what is the limit of human energy expenditure?" It's a metric that literally dictates how hard you can train. If you want sustainable performance, you'll love this episode.  Fan of the podcast? Support our partners! Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Episode 323: You're Not Unmotivated. You're Overloaded.The Thrive Forever Fit Show with Jay NixonIf you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly disconnected from your health journey, this episode is for you.In this training, Jay breaks down a hard truth most people never hear:You're not lazy.You're not unmotivated.You're overloaded.Trying harder isn't the answer when clarity is missing. In this episode, Jay explains why doing “all the right things” often leads to paralysis, frustration, and disengagement—and how simplicity, not intensity, is the key to rebuilding momentum.This is not a hype talk.This is a reset.Whether you've fallen off track or just feel worn down by too many rules, voices, and expectations, this episode will help you exhale, refocus, and re-enter your health journey with confidence and direction.• Why lack of motivation is usually a clarity problem, not a discipline problem• How overload shuts down consistency at the nervous system level• Why success sometimes requires lowering the bar strategically• What “Minimum Effective Standards” really mean for long-term progress• How to rebuild self-trust without starting over• A simple 7-day reset that gets you back into momentum without pressure• Confusion creates paralysis. Simplicity creates momentum• Purpose and progress are revealed through action, not overthinking• You don't need a breakthrough—you need a re-entry point• Momentum returns when pressure is removed• Consistency beats intensity every timeFor the next week, focus on just three things:Move your body 20–30 minutes, three times this weekEat protein at your first meal of the dayGo to bed 30 minutes earlierNo tracking.No perfection.No guilt.If you do these three things, you are back in the game.• Anyone feeling overwhelmed or burned out by their health routine• People who “know what to do” but can't seem to stay consistent• Listeners who feel behind and don't know how to restart• Anyone who needs clarity, not another planMomentum doesn't come from motivation.It comes from direction.And direction starts with one small standard done consistently.

Longevity isn't just about what you eat or how you train—it's really more about whether you believe your body is worth investing in. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. We focus on practical, accessible ways to build strength as you age, and why muscle plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize. We explore: • How strength training supports your blood sugar and metabolic health, beyond what the scale can show • Why muscle quality—not weight—is a stronger predictor of long-term health • How building strength helps you stay mobile, capable, and resilient as you age • What most people miss about protein and muscle health Aging well is something you can actively support, starting with how you care for your body today. And strength is one of the most powerful places you can begin.

Featured on Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025 — Jane McLelland is a four-time cancer survivor, former Chartered Physiotherapist, and the internationally bestselling author of How to Starve Cancer. After facing stage IV cervical cancer and later treatment-induced myelodysplasia (a pre-leukemia condition), Jane dove into decades of research to decode cancer metabolism and build a practical framework patients and clinicians can understand. Often called a “modern-day Cancer Sherlock Holmes,” she's best known for the McLelland Metro Map™—a visual guide to the fuel pathways cancers use to survive and adapt.In this conversation, Jane explains why cancer is a “shapeshifter” and why single-solution thinking (one drug, one supplement, one diet) often falls short. She breaks down the logic behind her “Metabolic Cocktail” strategy—combining diet, movement, supplements, and carefully selected low-toxicity repurposed drugs to synergistically block multiple cancer fuel routes (glucose, glutamine, and fat pathways). You'll also hear her cautionary take on DIY trends and oversimplified protocols, plus how tools like PET imaging, gene expression insights, and even AI can help personalize a more nuanced, adaptable plan.Most importantly, Jane offers a mindset shift: cancer treatment isn't a static one-time choice—it's an evolving strategy. If you've ever wondered how to “think metabolically,” ask better questions, and understand the why behind integrative combinations (including where keto can help—and where it can backfire), this episode gives you a clearer map and a smarter way forward.Key Topics CoveredWhy cancer behaves like a “shapeshifter” and adapts when one pathway is blockedThe core idea behind the McLelland Metro Map™ and metabolic “fuel routing”Jane's Metabolic Cocktail philosophy: synergy across diet, exercise, supplements, and repurposed drugsThe overlooked role of glutamine and fat metabolism—not just glucose—in cancer fuelingHow keto can help early for some people, and how it may drive resistance pathways later for othersRepurposed drug principles Jane discusses (e.g., metformin-style glucose control, statins, anti-inflammatories, anti-platelet concepts) and why combinations matterUsing tools like PET scans (and the limitations when cancers shift fuels) to understand metabolic activityStrategies and cautions around blocking glutamine uptake (and why receptor-level targeting matters)A practical overview of ferroptosis: GPX4 vs. cysteine/glutathione pathways and why pulsing mattersThe importance of doctor oversight, personalization, and avoiding extreme “one-size-fits-all” DIY protocols -----------------------------------------------A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2-----------------------------------------------Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Most people assume they're healthy until something breaks. The problem is that dysfunction shows up in your biology years before symptoms appear. I sat down with Dr. Paul Turek to break down what modern biomarkers actually reveal about your health, performance, and long term disease risk. We explore why “normal” lab ranges can be misleading, why guessing based on symptoms fails, and how early signs of metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies quietly shape how you feel, train, and age.  This conversation is about testing and not guessing. We spoke about how to understand what's happening inside your body before problems become diagnosed. And about taking ownership of your health data at any age, not reacting once it's too late.

The term "ultra-processed food" appeared nearly 100 times in the White House's Make America Healthy Again report. But what if the concept is too imprecise to guide real policy—and could even cause harm?Dr. David Ludwig—Harvard endocrinologist, obesity researcher, and author of Always Hungry—joins Dr. Dominic D'Agostino to dismantle the ultra-processed food framework from the inside out. Ludwig reveals why the NOVA classification system lumps protein bars with soda, why the FDA admitted they can't define what they're trying to regulate, and why the famous studies showing ultra-processed foods cause overeating may be fundamentally flawed.This conversation cuts through the noise to identify what actually matters: the mechanistic difference between processing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—and why that distinction should reshape nutrition policy.Questions answered in this episode:Can ultra-processed foods be "fixed" through reformulation?What's the most overrated "healthy" food in supermarkets?Should omega-3 levels be part of standard blood work?Are GLP-1 drugs a metabolic reset or a lifelong crutch?If you could pass one food policy law, what would it be?Why did the low-fat diet era make obesity worse?Dr. Ludwig argues that "ultra-processed food" is a compelling marketing term without mechanistic grounding—and that precise, actionable targets like highly processed carbohydrates and demonstrably harmful additives would do far more to improve public health.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ iRestore - Get a huge discount on the iRestore Illumina Face Mask when you use the code METABOLICLINK here.✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Metabolic health impacts far more than weight — it influences your hormones, inflammation levels, energy, and long-term risk for chronic disease. In this episode of Get Well Better by The Lanby, Taylor Fazio, Wellness Advisor, breaks down what metabolic health really means, why most Americans are metabolically unhealthy, and the everyday habits that can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity and overall health.On this “One Take on One Take” episode:Tip 1: Optimize nutrition by prioritizing fiber, reducing ultra-processed foods, and building balanced meals to support stable blood sugar and reduce inflammation.Tip 2: Build movement into your day — especially strength training — since muscle is one of the most important sites for glucose storage and insulin sensitivity.Tip 3: Use data to personalize your health journey: track key labs (fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c) and consider a CGM to understand your unique glucose response and improve metabolic flexibility.

The science of metabolic psychiatry is advancing, but the movement behind it is just getting started. In this episode, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Natasha Smikles and Eddie Rodriguez from Metabolic Collective, a new nonprofit working to build an international advocacy network for ketogenic and metabolic therapies.Their goal: accelerate awareness, adoption, and support for metabolic interventions in mental health.They cover:The personal journeys that led Natasha and Eddie to metabolic therapyWhy lived experience is such a powerful driver of changeWhy Metabolic Collective was created, and who it's forHow Metabolic Collective is organizing community-led advocacy and educationWhat tools, resources, and events are available to help you get involvedHow to support others, start a local group, or bring metabolic psychiatry into your communityMetabolic psychiatry is growing, and movements like this are helping close the gap between research and real-world impact. From mental health challenges to neurological disorders, the Metabolic Collective hopes to spread the word about metabolic therapies and empower patients with alternative options to standard of care.

In this important episode, I break down the newly FDA-approved Wegovy pill and what it means for obesity treatment. The first oral GLP-1 medication for obesity has arrived, offering a needle-free alternative to weekly injections. This development could transform access for patients who've avoided treatment due to injection hesitation, cost barriers, or preference for daily pill routines. Tune in to learn what the Wegovy pill is, how it works, and why it represents a major step forward in giving patients more options for sustainable weight loss.

Shalin Shah is the CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals and widely known as The Metabolic CEO. He's a leading voice in metabolic health and hormone therapy innovation, and one of the strongest advocates working to destigmatize testosterone for both men and women.In this episode, we go deep into what's really happening with testosterone today — why levels are declining across the population, why this is not just a “male” issue, and why testosterone is foundational to metabolic health, longevity, mental health, bone density, and quality of life. Shalin breaks down complex science in a way that's practical and empowering, and explains why testosterone deficiency is being massively underdiagnosed and undertreated.We talk about environmental toxins, sleep disruption, stress, lifestyle, and the long-term consequences of ignoring low testosterone — including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, frailty, and increased all-cause mortality. We also explore the future of hormone therapy, why testing should be standard, and how innovation like oral testosterone could change access and outcomes for millions of people.This conversation is informative, eye-opening, and honestly a bit of a wake-up call — especially for anyone in midlife who wants to age strong, think clearly, and feel energized again.What we cover:Why testosterone levels are declining in men and womenTestosterone as a metabolic health marker, not a lifestyle drugThe role of sleep, stress, toxins, and modern lifeWhy fatigue, brain fog, depression, and low motivation are often hormonalThe truth about testosterone myths and stigmaWhy testing matters — and why baselines should start earlyThe difference between “normal” and “optimal” hormone levelsOral vs topical vs injectable testosteroneWhy muscle, bone health, and longevity are directly tied to hormonesWhat's changing at the FDA — and why this moment mattersPanel: https://www.fda.gov/patients/fda-expert-panels/fda-expert-panel-testosterone-replacement-therapy-men-12102025?Comments: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2025-N-6743-0001/commentwww.kyzatrex.comhttps://www.instagram.com/themetabolicceo/Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Check out our new Comedy Wellness Podcast: Anything But Mid, cohosted with Whitney Stropp:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anything-but-mid/id1849386215https://www.youtube.com/@AnythingButMidFind Amy's affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let's get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Send us a textFeeling “fine” with normal labs can hide the earliest signs of metabolic trouble. We dive into a revealing study of young adults that compares sedentary people to those who simply meet activity guidelines, and what it uncovers inside their muscle cells is hard to ignore: lower mitochondrial respiration, poorer cardiolipin quality, higher lactate production, and a tilt toward glycolysis that predicts insulin resistance and chronic disease years before a diagnosis.We walk through why mitochondria—not BMI or a single glucose reading—are the real engines of health. You'll hear how cardiolipin acts like high‑grade motor oil for the electron transport chain, what happens when its quality drops, and why consistent moderate movement upgrades both the quantity and the integrity of this critical lipid. The active group in the study wasn't elite; they just hit 150 minutes of weekly activity, yet showed superior fat oxidation, better lactate handling, and true metabolic flexibility.We also connect the dots to food. With the dietary guidelines flipping the old pyramid, we talk about prioritizing whole foods, quality protein, whole‑fat dairy, eggs, fish, and minimizing refined grains to support resilient cell membranes and healthier mitochondria. Pair that with practical steps—brisk walking most days, a bit of resistance training, and paying attention to deeper markers like fasting insulin or HOMA‑IR—and you have a blueprint to improve energy, reduce cravings, and lower long‑term risk without chasing extreme routines.If you've been waiting for a sign to start moving and simplify your plate, this is it. Subscribe, share with someone you love, and leave a review to tell us the one change you'll make this week. Your cells will notice first—and the rest of your life will follow.For video, open source references and PowerPoint slide deck: www.thehealthedgepodcast.com

Leg weakness, burning when walking, wobbling knees, or foot pain are not signs of aging. They are often early warnings of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, which silently damages muscle, nerves, and circulation long before diabetes is diagnosed. Your legs are meant to be the body's largest blood sugar sponge. When insulin resistance develops, glucose cannot enter muscle cells efficiently, leading to muscle fatigue, inflammation, fat infiltration, nerve damage, and poor circulation. Common warning signs include: Heavy or tired legs while walking Burning or cramping muscles Balance issues and slower gait Difficulty standing from a chair Tingling, numbness, or cold feet Key labs that reveal the problem: Fasting insulin (optimal: 3–6) HbA1c (optimal: 5.2% or lower) Fasting glucose (70–90 mg/dL) Triglycerides under 100 HDL over 60 Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio under 1.5 The 7-step protocol to restore leg strength: Stop eating at least 3 hours before bed Strength train legs twice per week Eat 30–40g of high-quality protein per meal Lower carbs, eliminate snacking, and walk after meals Walk daily to improve circulation Support nerves with sleep, B vitamins, grounding, and red light therapy Prioritize deep, consistent sleep Ben emphasizes that leg strength is metabolic protection, not vanity, and that fixing insulin resistance can rapidly restore strength, balance, and energy.

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm rejoined by psychiatrist and Harvard professor Dr. Chris Palmer for a conversation that challenges how we've been taught to think about mental illness. For decades, psychiatry has focused on managing symptoms—often without asking what's actually driving them. We discuss a different way of understanding mental health, one that looks beyond diagnostic labels and considers how whole-body biology influences brain function, resilience, and recovery.  Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this conversation, we explore: • Why mental illness is rising alongside obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases • How whole-body biology influences mood, focus, and emotional resilience • The link between inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and conditions like depression and bipolar disorder • How nutrition, testing, and lifestyle changes can support real recovery If mental health has ever felt close to home for you or someone you care about, this conversation is meant to offer clarity, compassion, and a place to start.

Your physiology doesn't always follow what the textbooks say. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marco Altini (ultra runner, endurance coach, data scientist, and thinker at the intersection of physiology, technology, and performance). Marco opens up about the moment he realized that doing the same high-carb diet he recommended to himself for years wasn't actually working as well as he thought. He walks us through how shifting to a periodized approach - changing fueling based on training demands rather than sticking to a fixed carb ratio - improved his fat oxidation, gut health, and performance markers in ways he hadn't seen before. Marco grounds the discussion in real data, including how his substrate oxidation changed after adjusting his diet and why better metabolic flexibility matters for endurance athletes. Along the way, we tackle common misconceptions about high-carb diets, the link between GI distress and fueling strategy, and why testing beats guessing when you want to understand your own response to food and training.What we cover in this episode:Why metabolic efficiency is not a single target, but a moving rangeHow nutrition periodization can support training without wrecking your gutThe overlooked connection between GI distress and everyday dietary patternsWhat Marco learned from tracking substrate oxidation instead of guessingHow fat oxidation and VO₂-related metrics can change with nutrition shiftsWhy weight loss is not the same thing as improved performanceThe role of testing in understanding what your body actually responds toHow to think critically about fueling without copying elite or influencer strategiesLinks:Follow Dr. Altini's Substack and find him on Instagram @altini_marcoMarco's Substack article "Periodized Nutrition and Metabolic Flexbility for Endurance Performance"Marco's Substack article "Learnings from a Year of Periodized Nutrition and Metabolic Testing"Bob's Metabolic Efficiency Training book (3rd edition)More about our guest: Marco holds a PhD cum laude in applied machine learning, a M.Sc. cum laude in computer science engineering, and a M.Sc. cum laude in human movement sciences and high-performance coaching.

Are you training hard, eating clean… yet still not seeing fat loss or performance improvements? Today, metabolic testing expert Daniel Crumback joins me to explain how metabolic testing helps you finally stop guessing and start personalizing your training, nutrition, and recovery based on real physiology. We break down exactly what we measure in a Resting Metabolic Rate test and an Active VO₂ Peak test — including fat vs. carb utilization, metabolic flexibility, ventilatory thresholds (VT1 & VT2), FatMax, VO₂ peak vs. max, and heart-rate zones based on your actual data, not formulas. You'll learn how to: • Improve fat burning at rest and during exercise • Identify breathing, cardiac, or metabolic limitations • Train smarter with accurate Zone 2, tempo, and interval zones • Support longevity and mitochondrial health • Adapt training for midlife hormones and stress load Daniel and I also share the most common mistakes people make before and after testing — and how getting your physiology right can transform your results. If you're stuck doing "all the right things" with no payoff, this episode will show you the missing data your body has been trying to tell you.

Dr. Jenn Simmons joins the Biohacker Babes for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her shift from conventional oncology to functional medicine after witnessing the impact of breast cancer in her own family. She pulls back the curtain on the limitations of traditional cancer care — especially the overreliance on mammograms — and explains why true prevention begins with metabolic health, lifestyle choices, informed patient advocacy, and other options for testing. Dr. Jenn challenges the profit-driven structure of the healthcare system and empowers listeners to question standard protocols, explore more predictive screening options like the Auria test, and reclaim responsibility for their wellbeing. This episode is a bold call to action for anyone ready to move beyond fear-based medicine and step into proactive, root-cause healing.Dr. Jenn Simmons is a breast surgeon, integrative oncologist, best-selling author, Podcast Host, 3x Summit host and founder of PerfeQtion Imaging.

In this eye-opening episode, we explore one of the most exciting shifts in modern mental health: the discovery that mental health is deeply rooted in metabolic health. When the brain's energy supply falters, everything from mood to memory to emotional resilience can be affected — and new research is revealing how nutrition and lifestyle can restore balance. Our guest, Moira Newiss, is a BANT-registered nutritional therapist, health coach, and accredited ketogenic metabolic therapy expert who specializes in brain energy — a newly recognized root cause of many mental health challenges. Moira helps clients understand what's happening in their biology and guides them through simple, practical changes that spark real transformation. Her work is grounded in hope, clarity, and the belief that people can not only feel better but truly get their lives back on track. Together, we unpack how ketogenic diets can provide a cleaner, more efficient fuel source for the brain through ketones, helping stabilize brain energy and improve mental well-being. Moira also explains why diet is only one piece of the puzzle — and how sleep, light, movement, and stress balance each play essential roles in optimizing brain metabolism.     Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Click here. Subscribe if you'd like to catch all new episodes live and participate with our guests directly.   Want to learn more about becoming an FDN? Go to fdntraining.com/resources to get our best free workshops and mini-courses!
