Podcasts about metabolic health

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Larry Diamond, co-founder of Healing with the Diamonds, about his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health and his work helping others do the same. They explore topics like heart-brain coherence, the alchemical journey, insulin resistance, seed oils, and the deeper spiritual dimensions of healing, weaving in references to David Hawkins, Rupert Sheldrake, and the lost wisdom of the divine feminine. Larry shares insights on metabolic testing, ancestral eating, and the importance of authentic living, while also touching on the role of parasites—his term for the forces keeping humanity in fear and incoherence. You can find more about Larry and his work, as well as access his consulting, at healingwiththediamonds.com, on Instagram and Facebook at Healing with the Diamonds, or listen in iTunes to his upcoming podcast.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Larry Diamond of Healing with the Diamonds; they discuss his healing journey, health coaching, and the meaning of heart-brain coherence.05:00 Alchemical journey, crystals, the hero's journey, integrating masculine and feminine energies, and the idea of parasites feeding on fear.10:00 Kindness vs niceness, morphic fields, Rupert Sheldrake's theories, and quantum entanglement as evidence of interconnectedness.15:00 Scientism vs true science, metabolic illness, citizen science, Larry's 2013 health transformation.20:00 Metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein, fasting insulin, insulin resistance, and Larry's weight loss story.25:00 Seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and strategies for restoring metabolic health.30:00 Carb cycling, primal eating, intuitive healing, and ancestral wisdom.35:00 Spirituality beyond religion, Yeshua vs Jesus, divine feminine, and writing your own gospel.40:00 Living authentically, kindness in daily life, and finding healing in sovereignty and connection.Key InsightsLarry Diamond shares how his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health became the foundation for Healing with the Diamonds. He explains how hitting rock bottom in 2013 inspired him to reject mainstream dietary advice and embrace a primal, whole foods approach that reversed his insulin resistance and helped him lose over 100 pounds.A major theme of the conversation is heart-brain coherence, which Larry describes as essential for true wisdom and discernment. He connects this to ancient teachings, referencing Yeshua's “sword of discernment” and suggesting that Western culture intentionally suppressed this knowledge to keep people in fear and mental fragmentation.The episode explores the alchemical journey as a metaphor for inner transformation, likening it to Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. Larry emphasizes integrating masculine and feminine energies and overcoming ego as key steps in remembering our divine nature and embodying authenticity.Larry critiques scientism, which he calls the inversion of true science, and encourages listeners to reclaim citizen science as a path to health sovereignty. He shares practical tools like testing for C-reactive protein, A1C, fasting insulin, and using triglycerides-to-HDL ratios to assess metabolic health.He identifies the “Big Four” dietary culprits—seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and sugar—as drivers of chronic illness and advocates returning to ancestral foods rich in natural fats and nutrients. He stresses that flavor and enjoyment are critical for sustainable healing.On the spiritual side, Larry reframes the Abrahamic religions as distortions of deeper wisdom traditions, contrasting the figure of Yeshua (aligned with love and sovereignty) with the institutionalized Jesus narrative. He highlights the divine feminine, Sophia, as a source of intuition and co-creation with the cosmos.Finally, Larry encourages listeners to “write your own gospel and live your own myth,” seeing authentic, kind, and sovereign living as both a spiritual and practical act of resistance to what he calls the parasite class—forces of fear and manipulation seeking to block human awakening.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Eugene Chang talks about the microbiome's role as a vital organ, the impacts of antibiotics and Western diets on microbial health, and strategies for restoring a damaged microbiome through diet and fecal microbial transplants. They delve into microbiome dysbiosis, its links to modern diseases, and Chang's research on personalized microbiome interventions.About the guest: Eugene Chang, MD is a physician-scientist and Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago, specializing in gastroenterology. His research focuses on the gut microbiome as a vital organ influencing metabolic and immune health.Discussion Points:The gut microbiome is a vital organ, acquired early in life, that supports metabolic and immune functions, but can be disrupted by antibiotics, leading to diseases like C. difficile colitis.Western diets, high in saturated fats and low in fiber, contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, linked to modern conditions like inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, and allergies.Microbiome health is better assessed by functional markers (e.g., short-chain fatty acid production) than taxonomic diversity, as diversity varies widely among healthy individuals.A patient with severe food intolerance due to antibiotic-induced microbiome damage was treated over 50 weeks with a tailored diet, restoring healthy microbiome function.Different dietary fibers (e.g., beans vs. seaweed) are metabolized at varying rates, affecting gut health; fermented foods like kefir can bypass digestion issues.Diet can rapidly reshape the microbiome within 24-48 hours, but severe dysbiosis may require microbial transplants if key microbes are extinct.Chang's research shows a high-fiber, low-fat diet outperforms fecal microbial transplants in restoring microbiome resilience in mice post-antibiotics.Future microbiome medicine may involve personalized “omni microbial transplants” targeting both small and large intestines for comprehensive restoration.Related episode:M&M 203: Metagenomics, Microbiome Transmission, Gut Microbiome in Health & Disease | Nicola Segata*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright revisit the critical topic of endocrine disruptors—chemicals in our environment that interfere with hormones and impact metabolism, weight, and overall health. Dr. Cooper breaks down how everyday exposures to substances like phthalates, BPA, and others can have generational effects on metabolic pathways and disease risk. The episode highlights the link between these chemicals and the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and even cancer, while offering practical steps for minimizing exposure in daily life.Key Takeaways:Endocrine disruptors are chemicals found not only in food but in everyday items such as furniture, makeup, plastics, and baby products, making exposure widespread and difficult to avoid.These chemicals can mimic or block hormones, disrupting critical metabolic and developmental processes, with effects that may pass to future generations.Regulatory oversight in the U.S. is decreasing, with significant EPA budget cuts threatening existing screening and cleanup programs targeting endocrine-disrupting chemicals.Air quality improvements, especially through HEPA filtration, and making informed choices during preconception, pregnancy, and early childhood, can help reduce exposure.Consumer awareness, advocacy, and using resources like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) app are key strategies for individuals seeking to lower risk.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares the everyday struggle to find safe, affordable alternatives and the surprise of seeing improvements in metabolic hormone levels after changing air filters and reducing workplace exposures.Dr. Cooper discusses strategies to minimize risk during critical windows such as preconception and pregnancy, and emphasizes the power of informed consumer choices in driving safer product development.Resources from the episode:Environmental Working Group (EWG) resources and app for product safety ratingsU.S. EPA Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP)PubMed for scientific research on specific chemicals (BPA, phthalates, PFAS)Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we unpack the latest news and insights around Ozempic and its real-world impact on weight loss, health, and lifestyle.Ozempic, with the active ingredient semaglutide, began as a treatment for type two diabetes but quickly made headlines for its weight loss potential. According to Yale University, Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar and curbs hunger by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1. This not only suppresses appetite but also slows stomach emptying, leaving people feeling fuller with less food.Clinical trials consistently show that people using Ozempic can lose between ten and fifteen percent of their body weight over one year when paired with diet and exercise. For someone starting at two hundred pounds, that means a loss of twenty to thirty pounds, and these results are generally more robust than most previous weight-loss medications, as reported in major journals and echoed by Northwestern University.The STEP clinical trials, highlighted in the New England Journal of Medicine and discussed by many medical experts, found that semaglutide users saw almost a fifteen percent reduction in their initial body weight over sixty-eight weeks. Even waist circumference, blood pressure, and other markers of cardiometabolic health improved significantly, underscoring the broader benefits of the medication.But, as with most medications, there are realities to consider. Safety data from Northwestern underscores that while Ozempic is not yet officially approved for weight loss, many use it off-label, experiencing both benefits and side effects. The most common issues include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which tend to improve as the body adjusts. More rare but serious risks are pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and possible thyroid tumors, particularly for those with a family history of certain cancers. That is why healthcare professionals stress having detailed conversations about personal risks before starting Ozempic.A surge in Ozempic's popularity has also led to what some are calling “Ozempic face” or “Ozempic body”—these terms describe changes in appearance from rapid fat loss, especially in the face, which some people find undesirable. The plastic surgery community reports a rise in patients seeking rejuvenation treatments after significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications. However, when Ozempic is discontinued, weight regain is common—studies show up to two-thirds of lost weight often returns within a year of stopping the medication.Another evolving topic is real-world versus clinical trial results. Pharmacy Times featured a study showing that outside the controlled environment of clinical trials, the average weight loss is closer to nine percent after a year, mainly because more than half of patients discontinue Ozempic due to cost, insurance challenges, side effects, or medication shortages. Lower adherence and reduced dosages are major reasons why results may differ outside research settings.According to recent research in Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, some factors lead to better weight loss outcomes with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. These include a longer duration on the drug, using semaglutide specifically, not having diabetes, and having a higher baseline body fat percentage. On the flip side, those who start and stop the drug quickly or use lower doses tend to see less weight loss.There is also a lot of buzz about so-called natural alternatives to Ozempic, but reviews in the American Council on Science and Health caution that supplements promoted as “natural Ozempic” produce minimal weight loss, and almost always rely on combining with diet and increased physical activity. The science just does not stack up to prescription medications like semaglutide.With over thirty million Americans having used GLP-1 medications, Ozempic is not just a trend—it is reshaping how many approach weight loss, diabetes, and metabolic health. However, it is not a cure-all, and long-term commitment appears necessary for lasting results.Thanks for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Elizabeth welcomes Dr. Tyna Moore for a straight-shooting conversation on one of the most talked-about topics in wellness right now: GLP-1s. A naturopathic physician, podcast host, and expert in regenerative medicine, Dr. Moore has been at the forefront of the metabolic health conversation for years, and she's not afraid to challenge the hype.In their chat, Elizabeth and Dr. Moore get into what GLP-1s actually do in the body beyond weight loss, from regulating blood sugar to calming inflammation and supporting brain health. They unpack the potential of microdosing peptides as a tool, not a quick fix, and talk through the lifestyle habits that make or break your results. They also explore the limitations and risks of using GLP-1s without context, and the role of strength training, sleep, and upping your protein intake in hormone health. Episodes Here Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | InstagramDr. Tyna Moore: Website | The Doctor Tyna Show

In this episode of Proven Health Alternatives, I sit down with Dr. Darren Schmidt to explore one of the most promising tools in functional medicine today: the MVX Plus test. Launched in 2025, this next-gen blood panel goes far beyond standard labs—offering a deeper lens into chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and more. Dr. Schmidt breaks down the six core markers—from GlycA to citrate to branched-chain amino acids—and explains how they uncover hidden vulnerabilities affecting your healthspan. We also dive into practical insights, like the importance of vitamin B1, the dangers of ultra-processed diets, and how MVX can detect issues even when standard tests look “normal.” If you're serious about optimizing longevity, identifying root causes, or catching problems before they escalate—this episode is packed with the clinical gold you've been waiting for. Key Takeaways: Understanding MVX Plus: MVX Plus measures pivotal factors like Glyc A, small HDL particles, and branched-chain amino acids to offer a nuanced assessment of chronic diseases and longevity. Importance of B1: Dr. Schmidt underscores the critical role of Vitamin B1 in managing metabolic health and shares his dramatic recovery story from a gas leak-induced health crisis. Seven-Step Program: This comprehensive framework targets diet, energy, and detoxification to systematically improve health outcomes as indicated by MVX Plus results. Clinical Implications: Real-world examples emphasize how timely intervention based on MVX test results can dramatically affect a patient's health trajectory. Holistic Health: The episode advocates for a return to holistic practices and the understated value of nutrition, particularly protein-rich diets, in combating malnutrition.

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

In this groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function. Dr. Salcedo explains how traditional gynecological approaches often miss the metabolic root causes of women's health issues, leading to band-aid solutions rather than addressing the underlying insulin resistance.With her unique background as both an academic researcher and metabolic health advocate, Dr. Salcedo provides practical insights into how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve gynecological health without relying solely on medications or surgery. The conversation shatters common misconceptions about female health problems and offers a new framework for understanding women's bodies beyond the "just hormones" explanation.Whether you're struggling with reproductive health issues, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to understand the intricacies of female health, this conversation offers vital information that most medical professionals aren't discussing. Listen now to discover why one in three women lose their uterus by age 60 – and what can be done to prevent it.BIG IDEAGynecologic diseases like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids aren't just "female hormone problems" – they're manifestations of metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance that affect the entire body.Andrea Salcedo, DO - Contact InfoWebsite: https://www.consciousgynecology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consciousgynecologist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@consciousgynecologistX: https://x.com/consciousgyneSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode, Ben Azadi shares his personal journey on a 90-day carnivore diet, revealing surprising improvements in his gut microbiome diversity and metabolic health. Joined by molecular biologist Dr. Shayne Morris, they discuss Ben's lab results, the adaptability of the microbiome, and the interplay between genetics, diet, and health markers like cholesterol. The conversation highlights the importance of personalized nutrition, the resilience of gut bacteria, and the need for a nuanced understanding of how dietary changes impact overall well-being.

You've probably heard about the traditional forms of fasting including a 72 hour fast and intermittent fasting but have you heard about fasting mimicking? Through longevity research, our guest today has found a way for our bodies to reap the benefits that fasting provides without going through the pain and anguish a traditional fast typically comes with. Renee Fitton, MS, RDA is a longevity dietitian and Director of Education at Prolon. In this episode, we discuss the difference between metabolism and metabolic health, the process of fasting mimicking, who it's for and who it's not for, brain health essentials, and more!   Time Stamps:   (1:20) Renee's Background (2:40) Registered Dietitians vs Longevity Dietitians (6:35) Metabolism vs Metabolic Health (9:25) What Is Fasting Mimicking?

I talk with producer, Kevin Carter, about the new movie they just launched called 'Animal'. This movie seeks to set the record straight about the benefits of the carnivore diet and what the 'Proper Human Diet' for humans really looks like.  It sets out to debunk so many of the untruths about meat and animal products that are proliferated by the plant based community.  It imparts the information in such a relatable way and provides us with, what I called, a 'toolbox of comebacks' so that we can have meaningful discussions with people who seek to disseminate misinformation about what we should be eating. The film features so many of the people who have graced our stages as speakers at many of our events.  Icons like Dr Robert Cywes, Dr Robert Klitz, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Ken Berry, and Sally Norton are all featured in the movie. The film just launched on June 20 in select theatres and released that day to streaming as well.  It is available on pretty much all platforms where you can watch streaming content. The most interesting thing for me that came out of our conversation was the fact that people can arrange screenings in local theatres and even places like church halls on an ongoing basis.  I was very excited to hear about that and encourage everyone out there to try to do something in their town or city. Not only will you be helping to get this message out but you can put together an amazing community event and really do something real to make a difference.  Just go to the website and then scroll down and click on 'Host a screening'.  There's no risk, if you don't get enough people to sign up for it to be cost effective then that screening doesn't go ahead and everyone gets their money back.  It's not hard!

If you've ever found yourself hurt, frustrated, or emotionally drained because someone didn't do what you thought they should—especially after you asked—this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm talking about a powerful concept I use with my clients all the time, called “the manual.” It's the invisible rulebook we write in our minds about how other people should behave and what their actions (or lack of action) mean about us. But here's the catch: no one else has a copy of that manual. And when people don't follow our unspoken rules, we end up making it mean something painful—like “they don't care,” or “they don't love me.” That pain builds up, and it affects our emotional and physical health, especially when we're healing after something as life-changing as breast cancer. So in this episode, I'm sharing how to spot when you're living by a manual, how to burn it, and how to replace it with something far more powerful: clear, loving boundaries that support your peace and your healing.
