Cancer cells exhibit unique metabolic characteristics, and alter their metabolism to survive, grow, and spread. This poses unique treatment challenges, but also ones that can be exploited to beat cancer at its own game. Dr. Winters specializes in metabolic oncology and the treatment of cancer using integrative approaches. She's a globally recognized expert in this area and teaches clinicians how to integrate metabolic health principles into their practice, transforming the way we understand and treat disease.   Key Takeaways To Tune In For: (03:35) - Metabolic Theory of Cancer (11:56) - Accidental Metabolic Discovery (19:19) - The Terrain 10 Cancer Drivers (36:50) - Mitochondrial Function and Longevity (49:01) - Metabolic Health for All    Resources talked about in this episode: Website:  Dr. Nasha   Books: Metabolic Approach to Cance // Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology   Social media handles: IG X LinkedIn FB YouTube TikTok  

Perimenopause isn't just a buzzword it's the missing vocabulary that finally explains why your body feels like it's betraying you in your late 30s and 40s.This conversation with Dr. Jackie Piasta explored why perimenopause has become such a powerful word for women finally finding answers to years of unexplained symptoms. We discussed the complex hormonal orchestra that begins breaking down in the late 30s and early 40s, creating a cascade of physical and emotional changes that often leave women feeling like they're "not themselves."The physiology behind perimenopause involves the ovaries becoming less responsive to brain signals, leading to missed ovulations and progesterone deficiency. This creates what's often called "estrogen dominance" though we prefer the term "progesterone deficiency" to avoid vilifying estrogen. The result is unpredictable cycles, mood changes, brain fog, sleep disruption, and metabolic shifts.A major revelation emerged around hormone testing it's largely unhelpful during active perimenopause with regular cycles, since hormones fluctuate daily. However, testing can provide validation for women experiencing significant cycle disruptions, even if it doesn't change treatment plans. The key is understanding when testing makes sense versus when it's a waste of money.The conversation highlighted how perimenopause accelerates metabolic dysfunction, with cholesterol, blood sugar, and liver enzymes often rising for the first time. Dr. Piasta introduced the "red wine sign" when alcohol tolerance suddenly disappears as an early warning that metabolic changes are happening throughout the body.Treatment approaches vary based on individual needs, considering contraception requirements, cycle regulation, and symptom management. Both birth control pills and menopausal hormone therapy have roles in perimenopause care, often used together with IUDs providing contraception while hormones address symptoms. The goal is having more tools in the toolbox, not fewer.Highlights:Why perimenopause is a "power word," not just medical jargon.When to test hormones (and when not to waste your money).Metabolic changes that accelerate during perimenopause.Birth control pills vs. menopausal hormone therapy approaches.When your body stops processing alcohol.Weight gain and metabolic dysfunction solutions.Treatment strategies for the "sandwich generation".If this episode gave you new perspective on perimenopause and metabolic health, help other women find this conversation by subscribing to the channel and leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

Greater accessibility to glucose biosensors has led to their use to improve metabolic health, prevent disease, and feel better. Historically, these biosensors for monitoring glucose were only available with a prescription, often reserved for people with diabetes, but now with brands like Stelo, they are available over the counter. Dom D'Agostino, PhD, and Ben Grynol discuss how biosensors can be a tool for anyone to improve overall health, reduce risk for chronic diseases, manage women's health including menstrual cycles and the menopause transition, help with fueling strategies for workouts and performance, prevent energy crashes, and more.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnl

What is MAHA? Understanding why our American lifestyle is killing us faster than other countries.Upfront summary: 1. Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of diseases that run together – high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, elevated cholesterol and excess weight. Metabolic syndrome affects 50% of all Americans. That's staggering, expensive, and its crushing the quality and length of life.2. Drugs do NOT create health. Drugs do NOT reverse disease. Drugs merely reduce symptoms. Americans swallow more drugs than any other country on the planet and we are one of the least healthy populations.3. Third leading cause of death in the U.S. is the use of prescription drugs.4. Drugs like GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic) are very popular and expensive. You can eat whole food that has fiber and this will drive your body to generate your own GLP-1 naturally.5. 95% of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee members had financial ties to food and pharmaceutical companies. That's appalling and in my opinion criminal.6. The word “Convenient” really translates to “Unhealthy”. Generally speaking, truly healthy things aren't convenient. Get over it. Doing important things for your health means being inconvenienced a bit.7. Our kids are sick and on too many drugs largely due to the horrible foods we feed them. That too is criminal. 70% of the food our kids eat is “ultra processed”. You need to learn the definition of ultra processed foods if you want to be a part of the solution.8. Life expectancy is declining in the U.S. while it gets better in every other country you know. If you want to live long and be healthy you have a much better chance if you avoid living like a typical American. Americans don't do these things:a. Avoid processed foodb. Exercise dailyc. Get good sleep

Perimenopause brings a lot of changes but there is good news! You see, when you understand what's actually happening in your body, you can take back control.   In this week's episode of The Perimenopause Solution, I sit down with Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN to unpack the critical metabolic and biological shifts that happen during perimenopause, and what you can do right now to support your body, energy, and long-term health.   In the episode, we cover: The surprising connection between your hormones, muscle, and metabolism How to spot the early signs of imbalance before they spiral out of control  When HRT makes sense vs. when it might not What you can start doing today to support your energy, mood, and longevity   Midlife isn't a downhill slide but an invitation to approach your health in a whole new way. You have options, and this episode will help you understand them.   Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN, is a Registered Nurse, Health Coach, Menopause Educator, and Women's Health Advocate with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. She is a bold voice in the midlife health movement, calling out the outdated belief that it's all downhill after 40—and replacing it with something far more powerful: the truth that a woman's next chapter can be her strongest, healthiest, and most vibrant yet. Jill holds a Master of Jurisprudence in Health Law and is a certified health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). She has completed advanced training through the School of Applied Functional Medicine and the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine, with deep expertise in menopause, hormones, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As Education Lead at Respin Health, founded by Halle Berry, Jill combines science-based education with deep compassion and clinical insight, helping women understand their bodies, advocate for their health, and make informed, confident decisions. Her work is rooted in the belief that decline is not inevitable—it's simply what happens when we fail to adapt to our bodies' needs in midlife and as we age. Jill is the co-creator of two personalized Menopause Health & Hormone Optimization programs, the creator of The Beginner's Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy, and a trusted clinician known for making complex topics clear, approachable, and actionable. Most recently, Jill was featured in the groundbreaking menopause docuseries "Four Days," created by filmmaker Charles Mattocks and a passionate team of experts and women willing to share their stories. The series was born from a quiet question: What if we finally changed the conversation, and turned into a movement? Because the silence around menopause has gone on too long. And because women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported in this next chapter of life. The docuseries is expected to air in late fall 2025.  Jill's Links:  Website Instagram Respin Health HRT Telehealth Programs for women in the following states: California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio   Watch on Youtube HERE.   Mentioned in this episode: HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.

This week on Fat Science we answer your questions in another, always-popular mailbag episode. Join Mark Wright, Andrea Taylor, and Dr. Emily Cooper and learn why some people don't respond to GLP-1 medications, get the latest on new, oral weight-loss drugs, and explore the science behind elevated liver enzymes. Dr. Cooper offers practical insights backed by metabolic research. She also addresses gluten-free diets, flavored seltzers, craving pathways in the brain, chronic pain management, and the importance of consistent eating patterns for metabolic health.Key Takeaways:About 20% of people may not respond to GLP-1s due to genetic and metabolic differences; deeper lab and genetic testing may be needed to uncover root causes.New oral GLP-1 options like Orforglipron are on the horizon, promising greater convenience and accessibility.Transient increases in liver enzymes can occur with rapid weight changes; regular monitoring and medical guidance are important.The POMC pathway in the brain plays a crucial role in cravings and metabolism—medications like Contrave can help by targeting this pathway.Flavored seltzers are generally fine, but watch for BPA-lined cans; gluten-free isn't always healthier unless medically necessary.Chronic pain medications often impact metabolism—exploring underlying metabolic causes and non-GABA, non-opioid alternatives with providers is key.Consistent, “patterned” eating supports metabolic stability and brain function.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares how tweaking her medication “cocktail” and eating patterns improved her results.Dr. Cooper and Mark discuss real-life snack strategies for fueling brain power and avoiding metabolic pitfalls.Resources from the episode:Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

Did you know that nearly one in three people with obesity may have fatty liver disease without even knowing it? In this episode, I talk about groundbreaking news in obesity and liver health, focusing on the FDA's recent approval of WeGovy to treat metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate to advanced fibrosis. I share a personal story about a friend who once struggled with fatigue, abnormal liver tests, and fatty liver disease, highlighting how limited treatment options used to be. I explain what MASH is, why it's so serious, and how common it is, especially among people with obesity and metabolic syndrome.  Furthermore, I dive into the ESSENCE trial, which showed that WeGovy not only improved liver inflammation and scarring but in some cases even reversed the disease, all while emphasizing that it works best when combined with lifestyle changes like healthy eating and regular activity.  Don't miss this episode where I break down the latest breakthrough in liver and weight loss care that could change your health journey!   Episode Highlights: FDA approval of WeGovy for treating MASH with fibrosis The ESSENCE trial results showing improvements in liver health Understanding what MASH is and why it's so common Importance of combining medication with lifestyle changes 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.

A little over a year ago, I made a short reel discussing ventilating a patient in a severe metabolic acidosis. In the video, I mentioned that minimal to no PEEP might be appropriate. Not because the patient doesn't need PEEP, but because the shortened cycle time at higher respiratory rates can unintentionally generate dynamic PEEP on its own. But what if it was intentional? What if the presence of a wider pressure when the ventilator switches into exhalation would cause the air to exit more rapidly? In this podcast, I discuss my thought process with respiratory therapist extraordinare, Melody Bishop @melodybishop_rt. She helps surface some definitions and distinctions to terms like air-trapping, Set PEEP, & auto-PEEP while we discuss ventilation strategies in metabolic acidosis. The blog below was what I had sent her before the podcast to get all my thoughts & illustrations down in writing. As always, please follow your local guidelines, and I hope you enjoy listening to the conversation.

Did you know that over 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer's—and that number is expected to nearly double by 2050? Despite decades of research and billions spent, most treatments only offer minimal slowing of symptoms.But what if we've been approaching this disease all wrong?In this powerful episode of The Metabolic Link, host Victoria Field sits down with renowned neurologist, researcher, and bestselling author Dr. Dale Bredesen. He shares how Alzheimer's isn't caused by one thing—and why he says a single-pill solution is a fundamentally flawed approach. Dr. Bredesen discusses his 30+ years of research into cognitive decline, the systems-based ReCODE Protocol that's showing incredible success in reversing symptoms, and why early detection is everything.From brain biomarkers to root causes like inflammation, toxins, and metabolic dysfunction, this is a masterclass on how we can take action—long before symptoms take hold.

Sometimes the most tempting quick fixes, like eating only one type of food, can actually set you back on your health journey. In this episode, I explored the viral TikTok trend known as the watermelon diet, breaking down why it may seem tempting but is ultimately risky and unsustainable. I shared a story about a friend who was pressured to try it and explained how social media can create unrealistic expectations and comparisons. While watermelon has health benefits like hydration, low calories, and vitamins, I highlighted the dangers of relying on it exclusively—nutrient deficiencies, loss of muscle mass, blood sugar spikes, digestive issues, and unsustainable weight loss. I emphasized that real progress comes from balance: eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods, staying consistent with healthy habits, moving in enjoyable ways, managing stress, and prioritizing rest. Most importantly, I reminded listeners to focus on their own journey, celebrate small wins, and not let social media dictate their worth.   Tune in to discover the truth behind viral diet trends and learn healthier, lasting ways to reach your goals.   Episode Highlights: The rise of the viral watermelon diet on social media Why extreme mono fruit diets are risky and unsustainable Health benefits of watermelon in moderation Nutrient deficiencies and health risks linked to the diet The role of comparison and pressure from social media Science-backed strategies for balanced, long-term weight loss Importance of mindset, consistency, and celebrating small wins 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.

Peter explores the role of sweeteners in three common use-cases – beverages, protein supplements, and sweet treats – and breaks down how our evolutionary craving for sweetness now clashes with today's food environment. He examines whether sugar is uniquely fattening, the hormonal effects of sugar consumption, and the significance of timing in sugar intake. The episode compares natural versus refined sugars, sugar in beverages versus in solid foods, and the pros and cons of popular sweeteners including saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, allulose, and sugar alcohols like erythritol and xylitol. With a focus on weight management, glycemic impact, gut health, and long-term safety, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to navigating the sweetener landscape with clarity and nuance.

Send us a textMulti-Metabolic Week focuses on the idea that MASLD and MASH are elements in a systemic set of Multi-Metabolic issues. This conversation is the second of two looking at the concept of the "Multi-Metabolic Clinic," a clinic that treats the entire spectrum of multi-metabolic diseases.This conversation starts by focusing on how the two clinics train other physicians and practices on multi-metabolic issues. The EDOM clinic in Spain is certified to provide nutritional training to other practices across the country, while the newer, smaller Trajectory Health Partners practice provides support on use of FibroScan and, more recently, Velacur from Sonic Incytes. Louise notes how important training is for optimal use of scanning devices, which includes both technical proficiency and knowledge of how to educate and motivate patients using the results of the scans. From there, the conversations shifts to focus on differences between treating patients in a conventional practice vs. a multi-metabolic one. The key differences involve length of patient visit and use of allied providers to educate patients more fully. Next, Louise asks whether the clinics have data on reducing the number of patients needing to go to a hospital. EDOM has data while the younger Trajectory has a clear sense this happens but no large-scale practice data to support this sense. Louise's last question is to ask how each physician would "sell" colleagues in their specialty on why to set up a multi-metabolic practice. The answers reflect the different specialties in which the physicians were trained originally (endocrinology in Spain, gastroenterology in the U.S.) but have significant common elements.

Send us a textMulti-Metabolic Week focuses on the idea that MASLD and MASH are elements in a systemic set of Multi-Metabolic issues. This conversation is the first of two looking at the concept of the "Multi-Metabolic Clinic," a clinic that treats the entire spectrum of multi-metabolic diseases. The core of this episode starts during the weekly groundbreaker exercise, during which our guests began to describe the path that brought them from single-disease specialization to the broader multi-metabolic practice.. Immediately after the groundbreakers, participants describe their clinics today, including patient population and principles underlying their approach to treatment. For Karen, the path started in a conventional gastrointestinal practice. A decade ago, she gained certification in obesity medicine. While treating patients for obesity, she came to appreciate the interplay of obesity, diabetes and the other manifestations of multi-metabolic disease. Eventually, she divided her practice and time so that she spent half her time in the GI practice and the other half creating Trajectory Health Partners, a practice focused on overall metabolic health.For Dr. López, the initial goal was to "re-educate the hypothalamic problem," which he saw as the root cause of obesity and from which all other metabolic issues came. He describes this as "the auto-destruction button" of patients' lives, leading to two causes of death: (1) insulin resistance and related cardiovascular problems, and (2) short-telomere cancers. The rest of this conversation focuses on the tests that the two clinics use to confirm MASLD or MASH and their approaches to treating multi-metabolic patients.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6, Episode 11 This week, we modify our usual episode structure to focus on multi-metabolic practices and constructs. The multi-metabolic practices covered this week are run by non-hepatologists who have chosen to focus on the liver in a broader cardiometabolic context. They include two practices discussed during a two-part roundtable, one run by US gastroenterologist Dr. Karen Jerome-Zapadka and the EDOM practice in Spain, run by endocrinologists. The expert interview is with Dr. Emily Andaya, an internist who helms a cardiometabolic practice in Indiana, US, that focuses on the liver. 00:14:23 - Roundtable Part I: Groundbreaker and introductionThe core of the episodes started during the weekly groundbreakers, as guests began to describe the path that brought them from single-disease specialization to the broader multi-metabolic practice.. Immediately after the groundbreakers, participants describe their clinics today, including patient population and principles underlying their approach to treatment.00:26:15 - Roundtable Part II: Tools they useGuided by Louise, the specialists discuss the devices they use to screen and stage patients and the drugs they use to treat them. One interesting item that emerges is that EDOM relies on a 0-to-4 disease severity classification, but it does not align point-by-point with the 4-point fibrosis scale common in MASH. 00:40:28 - Roundtable Part III: Training Providers in the ClinicsLouise starts this segment by asking the EDOM team how they train practitioners in their clinic. EDOM trains practitioners in nutrition and technologists in the proper use of scanning devices. Karen comments that one big issue in re-training involves the length of visits: 15 minutes for a typical GI visit vs. 60 minutes for an initial multi-metabolic session and 30 minutes for follow-ups. Along with this, the information gathering technique are different.00:50:57 - Roundtable Part IV: Patient Health and Wrap-upLouise asks participants whether and how they have measured the impact the multi-metabolic approach has on patients' health (profound in both cases) and whether they are seeing an increase in HCC. Karen sees a difference among her long-term patients, while EDOM refers patients before their fibrosis reaches cirrhosis stage. In the last part of the episode, panelists share perspectives on how their initial specialties fit with the broader multi-metabolic practice and the kinds of impact they can have on patients.01:12:50 - Expert: Dr. Emily Andaya discusses US initiatives in multi-metabolic healthThis week's expert is Dr. Emily Andaya, an Indiana (US)-based internist whose practice has expanded to take on a multi-metabolic focus. She begins by discussing her recent attendance at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (SPC) meeting in Boston, where she heard a talk by Dr. Christos Montzoros, an endocrinologist and multi-metabolic advocate, who emphasized the importance of incorporating the liver into preventive cardiology's focus. Louise and Emily agree that cardiometabolic focus involves evaluating general, overall health, but Emily discusses how this might require a deeper or broader testing protocol for each target organ. Emily describes the 4-point CKM scale and Louise asks how fibrosis or NAS scoring, as deployed in the MASH CRN system, might be valuable here. This is a far-ranging conversation, but one special point of interest involves the psychological benefit of telling a patient they need to treat one (multi-metabolic) condition, instead of separate heart, kidney, endocrinological and liver conditions, which might feel far more overwhelming. 01:48:48 - ConclusionBecause Roger is on vacation, there is no business report this week.

In this episode of the Weekly Health Accelerator, Regan Archibald blends personal storytelling with deep health science, recounting an inspiring trip to New York for a friend's 50th birthday before diving into the mechanics of “metabolic burnout” and “hormonal resistance.” He explains how leptin, insulin, and thyroid resistance can silently sabotage energy, fat loss, and overall vitality, often going undetected in standard lab work. Regan explores advanced diagnostic approaches, lifestyle strategies, and cutting-edge peptide therapies like MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, and Tessofensin, which can mimic exercise, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance fat metabolism. Emphasizing that no supplement can replace foundational habits—like daily movement, adequate protein, and intentional relationship-building—he offers listeners a blueprint for looking, feeling, and performing their best well into their later years. www.agelessfuture.com

Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda shares his groundbreaking approach to chronic pain management that centers on fixing metabolic dysfunction rather than simply masking symptoms with medication. Drawing from his background in anesthesiology, pain management, addiction medicine, and technology, Dr. Padda explains the underlying connection between chronic pain and metabolic inflammation. He details how his patients achieve extraordinary results—85-90% of type 2 diabetics resolving their condition within three months and dramatic reductions in pain medication needs within weeks—through targeting the root metabolic causes rather than treating symptoms.Dr. Padda challenges conventional medical approaches, revealing how our healthcare system's perverse incentives often work against patient healing. He discusses how vegetable oils contribute to inflammation, reduced bonding hormones, and fertility issues, while explaining why pain management must address insulin resistance, omega fatty acid imbalances, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His innovative assessment tools help patients visualize their health status and track improvement, creating a path to healing that addresses the true causes of chronic pain.BIG IDEAIn 99% of chronic pain cases, the reason pain recurs is that the underlying issue of metabolic dysfunction hasn't been fixed—not because patients have a deficiency of pain medication.Gurpreet Singh Padda Contact InfoLinkedIn: -paddaPadda Institute Website: https://painmd.tv/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

What role does your metabolism play in shaping both your mind and your body?   In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu sits down with Michelle Pitot, a licensed clinical social worker, certified professional coach, and expert in the intersection of metabolic health and mental wellness. Drawing from over 35 years of experience, Michelle shares how imbalances in metabolic health can create a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, mood disturbances, and other symptoms that affect daily life. Together, they explore how looking at the food you eat can help you heal your body and mind, all through science-based strategies and compassionate self-awareness – restoring clarity, resilience, and joy.   In this episode: • How trauma impacts both mental and metabolic health • The role of metabolic health in supporting mental wellness • Common ways nutrition and physiology can impact mood, focus, and resilience • Why looking at what you eat is essential for mental and emotional well-being • Practical tools to begin improving metabolic and mental health • How an integrative perspective can enhance recovery outcomes   Resources mentioned in this episode: • Michelle's website: https://www.michellepitot.com/ • HeartMath Institute: https://www.heartmath.org/   About Michelle: Michelle Pitot is a licensed clinical social worker and certified professional coach, with a doctorate in Multicultural Education from the University of San Francisco. She is certified in Metabolic Psychotherapy by Dr. Georgia Ede and is a licensed HeartMath practitioner. Michelle has over 35 years of experience across diverse settings including addictions treatment, higher education, social and racial justice work, corporate leadership, and private practice, and she brings a uniquely integrative lens to healing. Her work connects the dots between metabolic health and mental wellness, helping people reclaim clarity, resilience, and energy by addressing the deep interplay between the body, brain, and emotional experience. Integrating biology, emotional insight, and mind-body practices, she offers a pathway to healing that is both grounded in science and attuned to each person's inner wisdom. She is a therapist, teacher, author, and coach—and above all, Michelle is most fulfilled by her roles as a mother, sister, friend, and devoted dog-mom. These relationships ground her in the real meaning of healing: connection, compassion, and the courage to grow.   “Metabolic health is really about how your body creates and uses energy, and when that's disrupted, it shows up in the brain as mood, focus, and memory issues.” – Michelle   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

In this episode, Eric traces his scientific journey from studying viruses and histone deacetylases (HDACs) to leading aging research at the Buck Institute, offering insights into how aging impairs immune and nervous system function—including thymic shrinkage, chronic inflammation, and reduced vaccine response—and how these changes impact lifespan. He explores the metabolic underpinnings of aging, such as oxidative stress and insulin and IGF-1 signaling, and he discusses practical tools like zone 2 cardio, ketogenic diets, and GLP-1 drugs. The conversation also covers declining NAD levels with age, the roles of NAD-consuming enzymes such as sirtuins and CD38, and what current NAD-boosting strategies (like NMN, NR, and IV NAD) can and can't accomplish. Eric weighs in on promising longevity interventions including rapamycin, growth hormone for thymic regeneration, and anti-inflammatory therapies, while also examining the promise and limitations of current biological age tests and the potential of combining epigenetic, proteomic, and organ-specific metrics with wearables to guide personalized longevity care. We discuss: Eric's scientific journey from virology to the field of geroscience [2:45]; How dysfunction in the immune system and central nervous system can drive aging throughout the body [5:00]; The role of metabolism and oxidative stress in aging, and why antioxidant strategies have failed to deliver clear benefits [8:45]; Other aspects of metabolism linked to aging: mitochondrial efficiency, fuel utilization, and glucose-modulating drugs [16:30]; How inefficient glucose metabolism drives insulin, IGF-1 signaling, and accelerates aging [21:45]; The metabolic effects of GLP-1 agonists, and the need to move beyond crude metrics like BMI in favor of more precise assessments of metabolic health [27:00]; The case for immune health as a “fifth horseman” [36:00]; How the innate and adaptive immune systems work together to build immune memory [39:45]; Why vaccines lose effectiveness with age: shrinking of the thymus gland and diminished T-cell diversity [44:15]; Exploring growth hormone, thymic regeneration, and the role of exercise in slowing immune aging [48:45]; The challenges of identifying reliable biomarkers for immune function, and the potential of rapamycin analogs to enhance vaccine response in older adults [57:45]; How rapamycin's effects on the immune system vary dramatically by dosage and frequency [1:03:30]; The limitations of mouse models in aging research and the need for cautious interpretation of rapamycin's benefits in humans [1:08:15]; NAD, sirtuins, and aging: scientific promise amid commercial hype [1:15:45]; How CD38 drives age-related NAD decline, influences immune function, and may impact longevity [1:23:45]; How NMN and NR supplementation interact with CD38 and NAD metabolism, and potential risks like homocysteine elevation and one-carbon cycle depletion [1:31:00]; Intravenous NAD: limited evidence and serious risks [1:37:00]; Interleukin-11 (IL-11) as a new target in immune aging, the dual role of chronic inflammation in aging, and the need for better biomarkers to guide interventions [1:43:00]; Biological aging clocks: types of clocks, promise, major limitations, and future outlook [1:48:30]; The potential of proteomics-based aging clocks for detecting organ-specific decline and frailty [2:00:45]; and More.

Episode 2675 - Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Tro Kalayjian and they discuss metabolic matters related to GLP-1s, hormones, the keto lifestyle, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/metabolic-matters-dr-tro-kalayjian-episode-2675 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Metabolic Matters Dr. Tro is an early contributor and guest on the show. (3:00) Dr. Eric Westman's work influenced him, and he has since collaborated with Dr. Westman. Vinnie refers people to Dr. Tro all the time. Dr. Tro is licensed in almost all states for telehealth services. More than one-third of Americans are on a medication; the average for people over age 50 is on at least 4 medications. (10:30) Many medications are helpful, but other ones are overprescribed. (12:00) GLP-1s are an example of being overly prescribed. People are often not counseled properly about lifestyle and just handed out the drug. Most people can't tolerate the side effects and are off of the drug within a year. (18:30) Approximate 30-35% of the weight they lose on GLP-1s is muscle tissue; consequently, the heart is a muscle. GLP-1s have a place in treatment, but their use is limited and restricted to certain situations. (26:00) Vinnie asks Tro about taking hormones like testosterone. (31:30) They discuss side effects of taking testosterone for both men and women. (38:00) Boron and DHEA are involved in hormones. Are they good to use? (45:00) Recent Research from Dr. Tro's Team Dr. Tro and his team have recently written papers about amazing results in metabolic treatments. They even saw improved results in things like food addiction and binge eating. A ketogenic diet can help some people with eating disorders. The team also works with corporate health programs to help employees get healthy and help the company save money. (56:00) They discuss some of the other benefits that happen with healthy employees—the positive effects spill over!
