In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down why uric acid is far more than a gout marker—it's a major driver behind heart disease, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction. You'll learn how elevated levels develop, what they signal in the body, and why keeping uric acid in a healthy range is essential for long-term wellness.   You'll also hear how fructose, processed sugars, alcohol, and modern food habits quietly push uric acid higher. Dr. Jockers explains the biggest dietary offenders, how they impact your kidneys and liver, and the surprising link between uric acid and conditions like fatty liver and hypertension.   Finally, you'll discover the practical strategies that can bring uric acid back into balance. From hydration and intermittent fasting to key nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, and tart cherry, you'll walk away with simple, effective steps to support better metabolic and brain health.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Fructose and Uric Acid 01:22 The Importance of Hydration 03:51 Understanding Uric Acid 08:29 Health Conditions Linked to High Uric Acid 19:54 Natural Strategies to Reduce Uric Acid 32:42 Final Thoughts and Conclusion   Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

What if the key to treating neurodegenerative diseases lies not in attacking symptoms, but in healing mitochondria? Dr. Matthew Phillips, a neurologist who coined the term "metabolic neurologist," shares groundbreaking insights from his decade-long journey implementing ketogenic diets and fasting protocols for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and glioblastoma patients.In this episode, Dr. Phillips reveals his clinical framework combining metabolic therapies with standard of care, his current glioblastoma trial utilizing 5-day fasting cycles with chemotherapy, and why he believes mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of neurodegeneration.Questions Answered in This Episode:What initially drew you to understanding brain metabolism and how did your journey begin?How do you implement metabolic therapies in practice and determine patient candidacy?What is the most clinically relevant mechanism of metabolic therapy?Does your trial evidence suggest metabolic interventions are adjunctive or disease-modifying treatments?Why aren't metabolic therapies more widely adopted for conditions where conventional options are limited?What power do patients have to prevent or address early cognitive decline through their own actions?Dr. Phillips challenges the medical dogma that has kept metabolic therapies on the sidelines, advocating for a merger of "germ theory" and "terrain theory" approaches that could revolutionize how we treat the most devastating neurological conditions.Sign-up to our Live Q&A Exploring Metabolic Neurology with Dr. Phillips here.Learn more about Dr. Phillips on his website.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ iRestore - Get a huge discount on the iRestore Illumina Face Mask when you use the code METABOLICLINK here.✅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.

Ever wonder why your ketone levels dip after a few months on a ketogenic diet? Or how exogenous ketones compare to ketones produced naturally?In this Metabolic Mailbag episode, Dr. Bret Scher and Dr. Georgia Ede unpack the latest round of keto questions asked by the community.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor dive into your burning questions from around the world—exploring misunderstood metabolic problems, hard-won solutions for real people, and the science behind the headlines. From “selfish brain” physiology to the rollercoaster of insurance and medication access, Dr. Cooper brings clinical clarity and practical hope.Hear real-world listener stories, get advice on tuning your metabolic health, and learn why personalization—not “calories in, calories out”—leads to better outcomes. This is no silver bullet show: it's metabolic medicine, mythbusting, and science-backed encouragement for your journey.Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the “selfish brain” and how does it really impact blood sugar and diabetes risk?Why do GLP-1 medications affect stamina and hunger, and how should you fuel your body if you're using them?If insurance pulls coverage for medications like Ozempic or Zepbound, what are your practical, safe, and affordable options?How do metabolic markers, medication “cocktails,” and genetic testing shape Dr. Cooper's individualized care—and can you taper off meds and maintain results?What does “normal” blood sugar look like after meals, and how do you distinguish trends from outliers?Key TakeawaysMetabolism is complex—individualized care is essential. Diabetes, hypoglycemia, and insulin resistance all have personal causes and require testing like the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test to solve—not one-size-fits-all advice. GLP-1s require smart fueling. Many experience reduced stamina on these medications. Dr. Cooper recommends upping both complex and simple carbs pre-exercise and consulting with a registered dietitian if fatigue persists. Insurance coverage is a challenge—but not the end. Generic options (like liraglutide/Victoza via Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs), manufacturer programs, and “cocktail” regimens can support continued progress, even if you lose access to top-brand GLP-1s. Feedback loops & genetics drive lasting outcomes. While some patients can successfully—slowly—taper medications, most with metabolic dysfunction will need long-term support. “Clean eating” alone rarely reverses underlying feedback loop glitches. Monitoring is powerful. Using blood sugar monitors (especially for diabetics) can demystify meal spikes and help fine-tune nutrition and medication timing. Personal stories reflect broader truths. Listeners share struggles and solutions, reinforcing that metabolic health spans medication, motivation, and mindset.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsAlways dig deeper with testing—not just A1C but also post-meal spikes via the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test.If you're prescribed a GLP-1 and struggle with energy, increase carb intake safely and talk to a doctor about medication adjustment. For lost coverage, stick to FDA-approved sources: Lilly Direct for Zepbound, Novocare for Wegovy, and Mark Cuban for generics. Don't risk unregulated online compounds. Recognize the difference between generalized “healthy” habits and targeted strategies that actually move your biomarkers.Stay consistent and compassionate—focus on small improvements over extremes and absolutes.Notable Quote“The metabolism is regulated by a feedback loop…when you introduce outside hormone forms, you strengthen signals to favor fuel utilization over energy conservation.”— Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramGeneric medication access: Mark Cuban Cost Plus DrugsZepbound direct: Lilly DirectAdditional info: Novocare for WegovyFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

If you've ever been told to "just eat less and move more," or struggled with weight despite doing everything "right," this episode will validate your experience and challenge the harmful myths that still exist—even in medicine. In this deeply personal episode, I will share what happened when a colleague dismissed obesity as "lifestyle driven" rather than a chronic disease. Her response is a powerful reminder that this condition is far more complex than willpower. I will also open up about my own decades-long journey—including training for two full Ironmans and seven marathons—and why even with extreme dedication, I never reached a "normal" BMI. My story, combined with my clinical expertise, will reveal the biological, genetic, environmental, and social factors that make obesity a chronic disease affecting millions.   Episode Highlights: Why 40-70% of obesity cases are driven by genetics, not lifestyle choices The real struggles patients face: severe calorie restriction, exercising 6-7 days a week, and still not losing weight Medical conditions and medications that cause weight gain—from PCOS to antidepressants How food deserts, safety concerns, and financial barriers create obstacles beyond personal control Four practical ways to show compassion to someone living with obesity   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.

Episode 2723 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss adding protein to processed foods, GLP-1s, and how it's all "lipstick on a pig." https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/11/lipstick-on-a-pig-episode-2723 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Lipstick On A Pig Vinnie and Chris have been working hard on manufacturing challenges. (3:00) There is a change in marketing around diet. (10:00) Pop-Tarts is claiming it has a high-protein version. They review the ingredients list. (15:30) It's essential to develop the persistence to achieve the success you want. (24:00) Other junk foods, such as Doritos, add protein. But don't be fooled! Adding protein to crappy food doesn't make the crappy food "healthy." (25:00) It's just putting "lipstick on a pig"! Metabolic damage can be seen in just a few short weeks when eating ultra-processed foods. (26:30) Chris discusses a study on weight gain from consuming ultra-processed foods. (27:00) Even if a brand you have used before has clean ingredients, you need to be vigilant and keep checking the ingredients, since companies will often add things that aren't good, such as seed oils. (33:00) California has claimed it will be ridding school lunches of junk food, but it is spreading the goal out over several years. (38:00) There Are Choices GLP-1s are now available as oral medication, but do they cause the same effect as the injectable ones? (49:30) The same dose is marketed as "similar." (51:00) People who have followed and stuck to NSNG have gotten off multiple medications. Personally, Vinnie stays away from certain meds, including hormones, because he wants to avoid a recurring cancer. (53:00) There are often a lot of things you can do before you turn to meds in many cases. (55:00) Proper nutrition, exercise (especially weight training), and things like vitamin D and magnesium help! Vinnie gives an example of how he has naturally improved his testosterone levels. You have to actually push yourself beyond a certain comfort level to see and feel a difference. (1:02:30) Sarcopenia happens to everyone, but you can absolutely fight it.

Fear thrives on vague labels; clarity starts with biology. We open by replacing the word “cancer” with “chronically fermenting cells,” so the focus shifts from doom to mechanism: cells favoring fermentation rather than oxidative phosphorylation. That reframe lets us explain PET scans and SUVs in plain language, showing how to distinguish metabolic activity from leftover anatomy, and why a smaller, quiet lesion can mean success even if it's still visible.From there, we build a full map of health that goes beyond any single protocol. Oral health emerges as a major, overlooked driver of systemic inflammation, making a visit to a true biological dentist a foundational step. We unpack environmental stressors—EMFs, persistent chemicals, ultra-processed food, and chronic sympathetic overdrive—that blunt immunity and confuse test results. On nutrition, we cut through the noise of diet wars and food myths, grounding choices in form-and-function design: eat to nourish and energize while reducing toxic load. Metabolic approaches make sense not as a fad but as measurable physiology, especially when tracked against baseline and follow-up imaging.We also tackle practical questions listeners ask every week. Parasites aren't just folklore; eggs, larvae, and adults respond to different agents, and the real goal is restoring balance so the body stops hosting trouble. For severe back pain, we highlight prolotherapy and prolozone as underused options that can stabilize and heal without the losses of fusion surgery. We walk through cases—Hodgkin's with lingering hot spots, pediatric brain tumors with urgent decisions, skin lesions mislabeled into aggressive plans—and show how to sequence actions, reduce fear, and choose comprehensively rather than experiment piecemeal.If you value honest guidance that puts mechanisms over buzzwords and measSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

In this powerful episode, I will break down one of the biggest developments in obesity and diabetes treatment in U.S. history. Two major pharmaceutical companies - Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk - have reached a groundbreaking agreement with the administration that will drastically reduce the prices of popular medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound. This pricing model could transform how obesity medications are covered, distributed, and accessed across Medicare, Medicaid, and direct-to-consumer platforms. Tune in to learn what this new deal means for patients, healthcare providers, and public health overall—and why it's being called a game changer for people struggling with obesity and related health conditions. Episode Highlights: Major price cuts announced for Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound under a new federal deal   Medicare to cover obesity drugs for the first time through a five-year pilot program   Medicaid given the option to join discounted pricing starting 2026   Team Rx launches a direct-to-consumer model cutting out costly middlemen   Lower cash prices for GLP-1 medications and upcoming oral versions   Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to invest billions in U.S. manufacturing   Program expected to improve access, affordability, and supply of obesity and diabetes meds   Ongoing push for the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act to expand national coverage   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.

In this insightful discussion, I chat with Dr. Sandeep Gupta, a proponent of integrative medicine and longevity health. We explore the evolving landscape of healthcare, discuss the limitations of the traditional medical system, and delve into the holistic approaches to health that focus on both healthspan and lifespan. What You'll Learn: The Shift to Integrative Medicine: Discover why Dr. Gupta transitioned from traditional pathways to focus on integrative and holistic approaches, driven by personal experiences and the need for a comprehensive view of health. Challenges in Traditional Medicine: Uncover the stigmas associated with holistic health approaches in the conventional medical setting and how these have historically been viewed by the medical community. Medicine 3.0 and Longevity: Understand Dr. Gupta's focus on healthspan and longevity, emphasising quality years of life filled with passion, joy, and meaning over merely extending lifespan. Metabolic Health and Chronic Diseases: Learn about the significance of metabolic health, its impact on major diseases, and how insulin resistance syndrome underpins many health issues. Diet and Longevity: Explore dietary recommendations for longevity, recognising the absence of a one-size-fits-all diet, and the importance of reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates. Muscle Mass and Health: Grasp the crucial role of maintaining muscle mass, its anti-inflammatory benefits, and its significance in preventing sarcopenia and indirectly reducing risks for major health disorders. Key Takeaways: Integrative medicine can offer a more complete approach to health, focusing not only on treating diseases but promoting overall well-being and longer healthspans. Traditional medicine often emphasises treatment of disease over prevention and maintenance of optimal health, a paradigm explored through Medicine 3.0. Metabolic syndrome is a silent precursor to many chronic illnesses, and dietary choices play a crucial role in managing this risk. Muscle health is vital; maintaining muscle mass as we age can prevent systemic issues and chronic disease. A balanced diet rich in diverse, colourful foods can bolster metabolic health and support a robust microbiome. Grounding and nature exposure are gaining recognition for their potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving mental well-being. Resources To delve deeper into integrative health approaches and longevity practices, consider exploring resources and studies on metabolic syndrome, holistic care interventions, and the benefits of nature exposure.

What if the cancer treatment that works best is the one pharmaceutical companies can't profit from? What if one of the cancer treatments that works best is the one the pharmaceutical companies can't profit from?!Dr. Katie sits down again with Professor Thomas Seyfried to explore why the medical system resists alternative approaches to a disease that claims over 1,700 lives daily in the U.S., and what's actually driving cancer at the cellular level. They reveal a specific therapeutic strategy that targets both fuels cancer cells depend on to survive.Dr. Seyfried explains how cancer isn't the genetic lottery you've been led to believe, it's a metabolic condition with a metabolic solution. You'll learn why your body's normal cells thrive on completely different fuel than cancer cells do, and how a compound called DON (a glutamine antagonist) combined with therapeutic ketosis creates conditions where healthy cells flourish while cancer cells can't survive. Chapters:00:13:25 – Starving the Tumor00:16:22 – The Banned Cancer Drug00:21:03 – Beyond the Keto Diet00:32:00 – Why Healing Threatens the ‘System'00:37:15 – The Genetic MythDr. Katie and Dr. Seyfried discuss the practical challenges patients face when trying to find providers who understand this science, why measuring your glucose-ketone index matters more than following any specific meal plan.Dr. Seyfried's research team is seeing remarkable outcomes in advanced cases that conventional medicine has given up on, and he shares exactly what that approach looks like.Listen and learn why the paradigm shift in cancer management isn't just coming, it's already here, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.Dr. Seyfried: https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.htmlAccess the FREE Water Fasting Masterclass Now: https://www.katiedeming.com/the-healing-power-of-fasting/ Transform your hydration with the system that delivers filtered, mineralized, and structured water all in one.

For over fifty years, Americans have been told that cutting fat was the key to better health. Yet after decades of low-fat guidelines, rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction have skyrocketed - now affecting more than 88% of the population.In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Victoria Field sits down with Dr. Nina Teicholz, science journalist and author of The Big Fat Surprise, whose decade-long investigation into nutrition science uncovered how flawed evidence and policy decisions shaped the way we eat. Her research reveals a troubling gap between the science and the guidelines meant to protect public health.Answered in this episode:How did you transition from investigative journalism into becoming one of the leading voices challenging nutrition policy?What specifically makes the original science behind the low-fat diet hypothesis so weak?How did Ancel Keys' controversial research become official U.S. nutrition policy?What were the metabolic consequences when Americans replaced dietary fat with carbohydrates?How did seed oils come to dominate the American food supply, and what are the metabolic implications?What do randomized controlled trials reveal about low-carb versus low-fat diets for metabolic health?How has industry funding influenced the direction of nutrition research and policy?This conversation provides a rigorous examination of how weak associational data became entrenched policy, the metabolic consequences of replacing saturated fats with refined carbohydrates and seed oils, and what the path forward looks like for evidence-based nutrition science.More of Dr. Teicholz:Unsettled Science on SubstackThe Nutrition CoalitionThe Big Fat SurpriseX.comInstagramFacebookLinkedInBig thanks to our sponsors:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here!✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here.✅Cowboy Colostrum - Get 25% off when you use code METABOLICLINK at checkout!In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

The Truth About Cholesterol, LDL, and Plaque Regression with Dave Feldman | Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Research Explained What if everything you've been told about cholesterol and heart disease is incomplete — or even wrong? In this eye-opening episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Dave Feldman, engineer turned citizen scientist, founder of Own Your Labs and The Citizen Science Foundation, and the mind behind the Lean Mass Hyper-Responder (LMHR) study and the groundbreaking Keto-CTA trial on plaque progression and regression. We unpack the latest findings from Dave's multi-platform coronary imaging study — comparing HeartFlow, QAngio, Cleerly, and expert readouts — to explore how some individuals with very high LDL cholesterol and low inflammation show no increase in plaque and, in some cases, true regression. You'll learn:

This research review looks at a study that utilized “research snacks” to see the effects on insulin, glucose and free fatty acids after meals throughout the day. These “snacks” consisted of ascending 3 flights of stairs as fast as possible every hour throughout the day. Each time would take between 10-20s. The results showed that for an overweight and obese group there was a decrease in insulin and free fatty acid levels, no changes in these levels occurred in a healthy group.Interesting concept to help control blood levels with a minimal amount of effort throughout the day.

“When your client says their body changed overnight, she's not exaggerating.” - Dr. Jessica DrummondSo many women arrive in perimenopause or menopause feeling blindsided by the changes in their bodies. They're exercising, eating well, and they might even be using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but no matter what they do, they're noticing weight gain around the middle, higher cholesterol, or shifts in their blood sugar. It can be discouraging for both the client and for us as practitioners when all the usual tools stop working. But these changes are not about willpower or doubling down. They're about physiology.During the menopause transition, the body goes through a true metabolic shift. Even women who seem to be perfectly healthy can experience significant changes in body composition, energy, and cardiovascular health. Research shows that each year of the menopause transition brings about a 1.7% increase in visceral fat and that LDL cholesterol can rise by up to 12%. Understanding how and why these physiological changes happen is the key to better supporting our midlife clients with compassion, structure, and confidence.Today, I'm breaking down everything about metabolism in midlife. I'm sharing the key findings from the SWAN study, how hormones, insulin resistance, and SHBG work together to influence weight, blood sugar, and energy, practical strategies for assessing and supporting clients through these changes, integrating the Confidence in Complexity framework for long-term results, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/the-metabolic-shift-helping-women-clients-with-weight-gain-blood-sugar-and-cholesterol-in-midlife/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

Bipolar disorder and depression affect tens of millions globally, long treated as strictly brain-based illnesses, yet both consistently show high rates of insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances A 2025 Nature Neuroscience study found that pancreatic insulin release and hippocampal activity are linked through a circadian feedback loop. This suggests bipolar mood shifts arise from disrupted metabolism, not brain chemistry alone Earlier research in 2022 showed lithium stabilizes mood partly by restoring insulin signaling, while a clinical trial found metformin improved both insulin sensitivity and psychiatric symptoms in treatment-resistant bipolar depression patients Insulin resistance is extremely widespread, with around 40% of Americans affected, driven by refined sugars, seed oils, stress, sleep loss, and environmental exposures that disrupt the body's natural energy regulation Supporting insulin sensitivity involves stepwise changes, replacing damaged fats and ultraprocessed foods, introducing gut-friendly carbs and fibers gradually, managing stress, improving sleep, and staying active to stabilize both metabolic and mental health

In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic inflammation — LPS and endotoxins — and how they quietly sabotage your gut, brain, hormones, and metabolism. LPS (lipopolysaccharides) are fragments of bacteria that normally stay safely inside your gut. But when your gut lining or glycocalyx barrier breaks down — from stress, poor diet, toxins, or sluggish bile flow — these bacterial toxins escape into your bloodstream, triggering a silent firestorm of inflammation known as metabolic endotoxemia. Once in circulation, LPS can:

Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power Thrive in your midlife despite the menopause metabolic shift no one is talking about. In this episode, we're going beyond how “hormones affect metabolism” to uncover the cellular cascade most practitioners miss.  Ever wonder why resistance training suddenly stops working, why your chronic cardio habit might be sabotaging results, or how overtraining is leaving you exhausted? My guest brings the research—and the real science—behind peptides versus the marketing hype. If you're ready to flip the switch on the menopause metabolic shift, you'll love what this episode reveals about your true strength, energy, and power in midlife. My Guest: Dr. Melissa Grill-Petersen, DC, MS, BCHH is a chiropractor, longevity researcher, and co-founder of Peptide University—where she educates clinicians worldwide on cutting-edge peptide and regenerative medicine. She's the creator of the BioHealthSpan Model, a TEDx speaker, and best-selling author of The Codes of Longevity. For over 25 years, she's been translating longevity science into protocols that help us live not just longer, but better. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:07:18] What's the most surprising thing about women's metabolic response in perimenopause—and what does it teach us about when to intervene? [00:13:07] How does mindset act as a “longevity molecule,” and can changing how we think about aging actually shift biological markers like HRV and inflammation? [00:21:05] What's really happening when overtraining backfires, HRV tanks, and fatigue sets in—and how can you fix it without just “doing less”? [00:33:39] For women who've stopped moving, what's the minimum effective dose of exercise to restart metabolic signaling—and does walking really make a difference? [00:37:55] Why can “doing everything right” still fail—what causes resistance training to stop working in midlife?  [00:41:47] What's the biggest mistake practitioners make when trying to “fix” a woman's metabolism in midlife?

Send us a textI unpack what “ultra-processed” really means, why these foods are so easy to overeat, what the best evidence shows (including metabolic-ward studies), and how I personally navigate them without fear or perfectionism. Key topics & evidence (in plain English):What counts as “ultra-processed”? I walk through the NOVA system—useful, not perfect—and where borderline items (frozen meals, boxed mixes) fit. See an overview of NOVA classifications here. How we got here: post-WWII abundance of refined flour, cheap sugars, oils, and a cultural push for convenience—now ~60% of the U.S. diet comes from UPFs (study). Additives: stabilizers, emulsifiers, preservatives, and colors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). I explain why, on their own, they're probably not the main health issue. The bigger problem: UPFs are energy-dense, engineered for bliss (fat/sugar/salt + perfect texture), and easy to eat quickly—driving higher calorie intake.  • Metabolic-ward crossover trial: +~508 kcal/day when participants ate UPFs vs minimally processed (Cell 2019). • Overweight adults in a crossover design: +~814 kcal/day on the UPF week (PubMed). • Another recent crossover RCT reports ~300 kcal/day higher on UPFs (Nature Medicine 2025). What I recommend (and what I do):Prioritize whole foods most of the time; shop the perimeter; cook when you can. Canned tomatoes/beans and frozen fruits/peas are fine helpers. If weight, diabetes, or blood pressure are concerns, be extra cautious with UPFs—they're designed to be irresistible and calorie-dense. Moderation wins: I enjoy favorites (yes, even boxed mac 'n' cheese and crunchy peanut butter) without letting them dominate my plate. Takeaways you can use today:Build meals around minimally processed proteins, veggies, fruits, and beans; let convenience items support—not star—in your diet. Watch “calorie-dense + easy to overeat” combos (chips, sweets, fast food). If you have them, portion once, then put the package away. If symptoms or inflammation are puzzling you, try a short UPF-light experiment (2–4 weeks) and see how you feel. If this episode helped, please follow and leave a quick review—and share it with a friend who's curious about UPFs.

What if the root cause of heart disease isn't cholesterol… but metabolic dysfunction?In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia — a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, metabolic health expert, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table. Once an overweight surgeon facing his own pre-diabetes, Dr. Ovadia reversed his health through a low-carb, nutrient-dense lifestyle and discovered something medicine had missed for decades: that heart disease isn't a plumbing problem — it's a metabolic one. Together, we explore how the medical system lost its way, why lowering cholesterol hasn't fixed heart disease, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and lifestyle are at the true core of cardiovascular dysfunction. We also talk about the courage it takes to question medical dogma — and why doing so may be the only way to reclaim real health. Dr. Ovadia's mission today is simple but revolutionary: to keep people off the operating table by empowering them to understand, measure, and repair their own metabolic health. His work is a bridge between cardiology and oncology, reminding us that nearly all chronic disease stems from the same broken terrain.Connect with Dr. Philip Ovadia: WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table BookYoutubeFacebookInstagram About Your HostI'm Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

In this essential episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Monica Tincopa, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Diego, for a crucial conversation about Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and its profound implications for cardiovascular care. Dr Tincopa guides listeners through the recent transformation from NAFLD to MASLD, explaining why this nomenclature change represents more than just terminology, instead reflecting a deeper understanding of metabolic health that directly impacts cardiology practice. The conversation explores practical screening strategies that cardiologists can implement immediately, including the use of FIB-4 risk stratification and recognizing incidental findings on cardiac imaging. Dr Tincopa shares insights on when to refer patients to hepatology specialists and how the shared risk factors between MASLD and cardiovascular disease create opportunities for comprehensive patient care. This episode equips cardiologists with essential knowledge to identify at-risk patients within their existing practice, understand the cardiovascular implications of liver disease, and optimize care coordination for patients with overlapping metabolic conditions. Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor dive into the latest U.S. blood pressure guidelines—and reveal why nearly half of all Americans face risks that can no longer be ignored. Early intervention and smart lifestyle changes are at the heart of these new recommendations.Why is high blood pressure such a hidden danger? What do the new “elevated” and “stage one” categories mean for real people? How do doctors decide when it's time for medication versus lifestyle changes? And how does blood pressure connect to kidneys, strokes, and even dementia? Dr. Cooper unpacks the science, gives practical advice, and shares why home monitoring is now a crucial part of medical care.In this conversation-dense episode, the team breaks old myths and empowers listeners to take charge—so that “keeping an eye” on blood pressure becomes active prevention, not passive worry.Key Takeaways:New guidelines lower the bar for concern—120 over 80 is now “caution,” and 130 over 80 is “hypertension.” Early action matters.Untreated high blood pressure can lead to irreversible organ damage, strokes, kidney disease, and cognitive decline.Doctors now have a better toolkit: updated cutoffs, risk “calculators” that include zip code, and clearer protocols for who needs medication right away.Lifestyle changes (fruit, vegetables, less sodium, more movement, quality sleep, stress management, and alcohol moderation) are the first line for many—especially in the “elevated” category.Metabolic syndrome often includes high blood pressure; medicines like GLP-1s and metformin may help regulate pressure as well as metabolism.Accurate home blood pressure monitoring is strongly recommended, with validated cuff meters (not wrist models).Dr. Cooper shares actionable tips:Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables daily for potassium—bananas, spinach, potatoes, kiwis all help.Get a “validated” cuff monitor and check morning/evening, resting, following best practices.Ask your doctor about the new guidelines and risk calculators (found at the American Heart Association website).Notable Quote:“Home readings are very valuable. I really encourage people to look at the Validate BP site, find a good meter, and keep a log. Catching high blood pressure early and treating it aggressively can have profound impacts on your future health.”— Dr. Emily CooperResources from the episode:Fat Science is your source for understanding why blood pressure—and metabolic health—matter more than ever.
