Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men and remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. While age, family history, and genetics are well-established risk factors, researchers have increasingly focused on the role of metabolic health in prostate cancer progression. Obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation have all been associated with more aggressive disease, but the molecular mechanisms connecting these conditions to prostate cancer remain incompletely understood. A research paper titled “Epigenetic dysregulation and biological function of PDX1 in prostate cancer” was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget. In this study, the researchers investigated whether a gene best known for regulating pancreatic function may also play an important role in prostate tumor biology. The study was led by first author Tayo A. Adeyika and corresponding author Bernard Kwabi-Addo from Howard University, Washington, DC.

Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance, and Persistent Muscle & Joint Pain: A Functional Medicine Framework: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses perimenopausal musculoskeletal symptoms—new or persistent joint pain, muscle aches, and tendon problems—and highlights a Clinician's Journal article by physical therapist Tara Moore proposing insulin resistance screening in perimenopausal musculoskeletal care. She explains that declining estradiol during the menopausal transition can worsen insulin signaling, increase visceral fat, and reduce insulin sensitivity, affecting skeletal muscle recovery and potentially contributing to tendinopathies and poor or short-lived responses to localized treatments like PT. The framework emphasizes assessing systemic metabolic contributors (e.g., sedentary behavior, high-carbohydrate nutrition patterns, PCOS, central weight gain, stress, sleep disruption) and addressing mediators such as inflammation and impaired glucose utilization. She suggests integrating metabolic risk assessment, sleep and stress strategies, resistance training, and interdisciplinary referrals, arguing that nutrition and supplementation—especially a low-carb approach—may improve recovery and pain outcomes.

High cholesterol is one of the most common reasons people are told they're at risk for heart disease. But what if cholesterol isn't the root problem? What if it's actually a signal of deeper metabolic dysfunction—and focusing on the number alone causes us to miss what's really driving cardiovascular risk? In today's episode, we explore a functional medicine approach to cholesterol and heart health, including: Why high cholesterol is often a downstream effect of insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction The surprising role sugar, refined carbohydrates, and ultra-processed foods play in driving unhealthy cholesterol patterns How healthy fats, protein, fiber, and gut health influence cholesterol regulation and cardiovascular risk The nutrition and lifestyle changes that can improve metabolic health—and begin shifting key biomarkers in as little as 10 days When it comes to cholesterol, the better question isn't always, "How do I lower this number?" It's, "Why is it elevated in the first place?" By addressing the root causes—from blood sugar imbalance and inflammation to diet, movement, sleep, and stress—you can improve not just your cholesterol, but the underlying metabolic health that drives long-term cardiovascular risk.

In this episode, Tara dives into one of the most important — and often overlooked — players in metabolic and gut health: Akkermansia muciniphila. She explains how this keystone bacteria influences weight regulation, inflammation, blood sugar balance, and gut integrity, and why both low and elevated levels can signal deeper issues in the body. Tara also breaks down the common misconceptions around weight loss, the role of the microbiome in supporting metabolic health, and why diet alone is often not enough to optimize gut function. You'll learn practical strategies to support Akkermansia naturally, when supplementation may or may not be helpful, and why proper testing is essential for understanding your unique gut environment. We cover: What Akkermansia is and why it's considered a "keystone" bacteria How it influences weight, metabolism, and inflammation Why both low and high levels can be a problem The truth about Akkermansia supplements (and why I don't rely on them) The exact foods and strategies that support healthy levels Why gut testing is essential if you actually want answers Attend My Brand New Masterclass on May 7th at 8pm EST / 5pm PST!

Liver disease is often overlooked in primary care, yet it is one of the fastest-growing causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now affects around one-third of the UK population, with prevalence rising and all-cause mortality worsening over time. In this second episode of a series on hepatology and hepatitis, Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Rik Fijten (GP Partner, Hepatitis C GP Champion for Bexley and GP Clinical Fellow in Gastroenterology) to explore why MASLD matters to GPs, why it is so common and why primary care is central to identifying disease early and preventing progression. They discuss why clinicians need to raise this often “silent” disease proactively and how it should be considered alongside diabetes, hypertension and weight management. The conversation covers how to approach abnormal liver function tests, how to assess fibrosis risk using simple non-invasive tools and how MASLD fits into the wider cardio–renal–metabolic model of long-term condition care. The episode also looks ahead to emerging treatments and what the future may hold for patients.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/infectious-disease/ep-205-metabolic-dysfunction-associated-steatotic-liver-disease-and-hepatitis.DisclaimerThis content is for medical education purposes only and does not constitute clinical advice.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.
Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.
In this re-release episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with returning guest Dr. Tyna Moore to tackle one of the most controversial health conversations happening right now: GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Together they break down the difference between pharmaceutical propaganda, real clinical data, and the importance of critical thinking in a polarized health landscape. Dr. Tyna Moore is a naturopathic physician and regenerative medicine expert who has spent decades helping patients improve metabolic health, hormones, and longevity. In this conversation, she explains what GLP-1 peptides actually are, how they function in the body, and why the conversation around drugs like Ozempic has become so polarized online. Kaylor and Dr. Tyna explore metabolic dysfunction, the role of lifestyle foundations like strength training and nutrition, the dangers of oversimplified health narratives, and why nuance matters when evaluating new medical tools. This episode challenges listeners to think critically and examine how powerful interventions can be used responsibly within a comprehensive approach to health. Episode Highlights: metabolic dysfunction crisis, GLP-1 peptides explained, Ozempic controversy, critical thinking in health, pharmaceutical industry influence, strength training for longevity, insulin resistance and middle age, metabolic health foundations, addiction and dopamine pathways, peptide therapy and longevity medicine, misinformation in health media, nuanced thinking in wellness Takeaways: Most chronic disease begins with metabolic dysfunction long before diagnosis GLP-1 peptides exist naturally in the body and influence appetite, metabolism, and brain signaling Lifestyle foundations like resistance training and nutrition remain non-negotiable Many health controversies exist because nuance is lost in polarized conversations Pharmaceutical tools can be useful when used responsibly within a broader health strategy Insulin resistance often develops silently for years before diabetes is diagnosed Educating yourself is one of the most powerful ways to take ownership of your health If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Everyone knows someone with diabetes or heart disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It's impossible to find somebody who doesn't have at least one victim of these diseases in their family or friends circle. That's how widespread they've become. All these disorders share one thing in common – all are ‘lifestyle diseases' linked to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. For the longest time, India's biggest public health challenge was controlling infectious diseases. But now we have an epidemic of lifestyle diseases, causing millions of premature deaths. A new book ‘Sick Nation', drills down to the root causes of this epidemic. What are the factors driving it? Why do people ignore the signs until it is too late? And what can you, as an individual, do to protect yourself from this growing epidemic of metabolic dysfunction?

Malnutrition should be defined as any diet that results in metabolic derangement. Few Americans suffer from lack of access to calories. But we are unhealthy, with metabolic and chronic diseases increasing steadily. These are true statements, but how we should respond to them individually and societally is controversial.

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

214: In this episode, I'm diving into all things histamine—what it is, how it functions, and why it might be the missing link in your hormone and immune health journey. After sharing insights on the connection between histamine sensitivity and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the response was massive. I'm unpacking why histamine issues are more than just food reactions, how they relate to estrogen, menopause, and chronic inflammation, and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I've dealt with histamine challenges my whole life and supported countless patients through it. This episode is a deep, honest look at the bigger picture behind histamine imbalance. Topics Discussed: What are the symptoms of histamine intolerance and how is it connected to hormone imbalances? How does histamine affect estrogen levels and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? What causes high histamine levels and how can you support balance naturally? What is the difference between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)? How do lifestyle factors, diet, and gut health influence histamine sensitivity? Sponsored By: Nutrisense | Head over to nutrisense.io/drtyna to get 30% off your Nutrisense plan.

Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.This personal journey led her to create Real Health MD in 2019, a practice dedicated to holistic healing for breast cancer. It integrates conventional wisdom with root cause medicine and the drivers of health: nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and stress management. Dr. Jenn's innovative approach doesn't stop there. As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Jenn hosts the "Keeping Abreast" podcast, where she shares her expertise and encourages women to take control of their breast health. Her book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," challenges conventional wisdom and promotes a holistic approach. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition, lifestyle choices, and addressing environmental toxins, providing practical steps for women seeking to navigate breast cancer treatment and regain control of their health.Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Jenn is a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and athlete. Her life's mission is deeply personal, rooted in her cousin's memory, and driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on all those who desire breast health.
