What if the fatigue, stubborn weight changes, brain fog, inflammation, or burnout you're experiencing isn't a failure of willpower, but a signal that your metabolism is under strain? In this solo episode, Dr. Taz unpacks what metabolic health actually means in the age of GLP-1 medications. She explains why weight loss alone is not the same as healing, and how focusing only on the scale can quietly erode muscle, gut function, hormonal balance, cellular energy, and nervous system resilience.You'll learn why so many people lose weight but still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected from their bodies. Dr. Taz breaks down the six core metabolic engines that regulate energy, fat storage, blood sugar, hormones, stress response, and longevity, and why ignoring even one of them can stall long-term health.This episode reframes metabolism as a full body system. One that includes the gut microbiome, hormone signaling, mitochondrial function, liver detoxification, muscle health, and the nervous system. When these systems fall out of sync, weight becomes a symptom, not the root issue.Dr. Taz shares: • Why GLP-1 medications support weight loss but do not repair metabolic dysfunction • How up to 25% of weight lost on GLP-1s can come from muscle, impacting long-term health and longevity • Why the gut is the foundation of metabolic health and how digestion, bile flow, and microbiome balance shape hormones and inflammation • How hormone shifts, especially in midlife, can rapidly disrupt blood sugar, cholesterol, energy, and weight • The role of cellular and mitochondrial health in fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic slowdown • Why liver function is central to detoxification, fat metabolism, and insulin regulation • How stress and nervous system dysregulation can drive cravings, poor sleep, and metabolic instability • How to identify which metabolic engine needs attention first so your plan stays targeted and sustainableWhether you're currently on a GLP-1, considering one, struggling after coming off, or simply want to build metabolic health that lasts for decades, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap. You don't need to chase trends or stack solutions. You need to understand the system you're living in.You may not control every variable that shaped your metabolism, but you can change how it functions moving forward.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

Midlife weight gain, burnout, and metabolic changes often get mislabeled as willpower issues. This episode challenges the oversimplified weight loss narrative and unpacks why many women feel blindsided by changes even when their habits stay solid.We dive deeper into this in the Broads episode with Dr. Tyna Moore. We also chat about why GLP-1 was never meant to be a vanity weight loss tool, why microdosing doesn't mean what most people think it means, and the real risks of frailty and why strength equals long-term freedom.Dr. Tyna Moore is a Licensed Naturopathic Physician and Chiropractor with over 30 years in the medical field, specializing in holistic regenerative and metabolic medicine. She earned her degrees from the National College of Natural Medicine and the University of Western States Chiropractic College. Dr. Tyna is also the host of The Dr. Tyna Show and an international speaker.What's Discussed:(08:48) How being “early” to the GLP-1 conversation led to backlash and burnout(10:49) How GLP-1 became misused and distorted by telemedicine and influencers(15:18) Why midlife weight gain isn't about willpower but a neurological shift(16:09) The idea of functional deficiency and why modern stress breaks signaling(19:15) How GLP-1 can increase motivation to move through brain plasticity(22:20) How GLP-1 can magnify existing hormonal deficiencies in women(24:11) Why movement is essential for gut health and metabolic signaling(28:01) Why microdosing is not a true weight loss strategy(35:44) Why strength training is non-negotiable for women in midlife(39:02) The real risks of frailty, hip fractures, and loss of independenceCheck out more from Broads:Website: www.broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.appCheck out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: www.taralaferrara.comInstagram: @taralaferraraYoutube: @TaraLaferraraTiktok: @taralaferraraCheck out more from Dr. Tyna, ND, DC:Website: www.drtyna.comInstagram: @drtynaYoutube: @drtyna

Jenny Mitich started carnivore to lose 70 pounds after having twins. Her anxiety vanished, depression lifted, and undiagnosed Hashimoto's finally made sense. This conversation moves beyond weight loss into mental health transformation, blood work interpretation your doctor won't discuss, and raising carnivore kids who refuse birthday cake. She shares sardine fasting protocols, functional medicine ranges, and why she's "a lighthouse, not a tugboat." Her new book Complete Carnivore combines 80 recipes with troubleshooting for common challenges. Find her educational content on YouTube at Jenny Mitich.Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Doug Reynolds thought he was bulletproof until his running career collapsed under mysterious weight gain and joint pain. Three weeks studying ketones changed everything—launching Low Carb USA and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. What emerged wasn't just conferences but sanctuary for practitioners facing hostility from colleagues who resist dietary intervention. Reynolds breaks conventional barriers: speakers scatter among attendees, forging relationships that span the country. After a three-year battle, the Society now offers ACCME-accredited continuing education credits, legitimizing metabolic medicine. January 23-25, 2026 conference at lowcarbusa.org. Code IFIXHEARTS saves 20%.BIG IDEAThe loneliness of practitioners who face hostility for recommending dietary interventions has created an urgent need for community—and Low Carb USA became that refuge by accident, simply by bringing people together in the same room.Doug Reynolds Contact InfoSociety of Metabolic Health Practitioners: https://thesmhp.org/Low Carb USA: https://www.lowcarbusa.org/The Road to Metabolic Health: https://amzn.to/4qtEPpESend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Send us a textCellular metabolism, mitochondrial health, and the roles of diet and environment in metabolic health, fetal & child development, and Alzheimer's.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cellular growth vs. burning: Cells alternate between growing (using glucose for building blocks in low-oxygen environments) and burning (generating ATP in mitochondria with oxygen); dysregulation leads to metabolic issues.Key regulatory enzymes: PI3 kinase imports glucose, AMP kinase builds mitochondria, and mTOR drives cell division; their synchronization determines healthy modes, while desynchronization causes diseases.Fructose as a dose-dependent mitochondrial toxin: High fructose intake inhibits AMP kinase, reducing mitochondrial function and diverting energy to fat storage; it is dose-dependent, like alcohol, and unnecessary in the diet.Obesogens & endocrine disruptors: Chemicals like tributyltin (TBT) alter gene expression across generations, promoting obesity unrelated to calories; modern exposures increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), burdening cells.Fetal & neonatal development: Maternal diet, especially high sugar or formula feeding, can cause neonatal obesity and fatty liver; breastfeeding supports proper jaw development and oxygen intake.Brain metabolism & Alzheimer's: The brain's high energy needs make it vulnerable to mitochondrial issues and ROS; energy deficits from diet, stress, and toxins lead to synapse loss and inflammation, treatable via prevention.ROS & health: Mitochondria produce ROS as a byproduct of ATP generation; excess from diet or environment causes damage, but antioxidants and lifestyle can mitigate risks.PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS:Limit added sugars in your diet to reduce mitochondrial stress and ROS, focusing on whole foods over ultra-processed items for better metabolic health.Prioritize breastfeeding for infants when possible to support proper physical development and reduce future metabolic risks.Incorporate regular exercise and social activities to manage stress and boost brain-protective factors like BDNF, aiding neurodegeneration prevention.Get adequate sleep to regulate cortisol and maintain cellular energy balance, helping prevent brain fog and chronic diseases.ABOUT THE GUEST: Robert Lustig, MD is a pediatric endocrinologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco, with a background in neuroendocrinology and obesity research.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

If you care about protein quality, metabolic health, inflammation, and long-term strength, this episode will change the way you shop for meat.On this episode of Asking for a Friend, Michele Folan pulls back the curtain on the modern meat industry with Cloe Parker, CEO of Parker Pastures, to expose the truth behind misleading meat labels—and why most consumers are unknowingly getting it wrong.Cloe explains what labels like grass-fed, grass-finished, organic, and Product of the USA really mean—and why up to 85% of grass-fed beef is imported, yet still legally labeled as American. You'll learn how conventional feedlot practices affect omega-3 to omega-6 ratios, inflammation, nutrient density, and overall protein quality—especially important for women focused on muscle preservation, bone health, and longevity.In this episode, we cover:Grass-fed vs grass-finished: what actually mattersHow grain-fed meat impacts inflammation and metabolic healthGlyphosate, pesticides, and contaminants in conventional meatWhy protein quality matters more than quantityThe truth about chicken, pork, and beef sourcingHow to shop smarter without chasing perfectionWhy food choices today impact strength, mobility, and independence later in lifeCloe also shares her powerful personal story—stepping into leadership of her family ranch after losing her mother—and how that loss shaped her mission to provide food that heals instead of harms.This conversation isn't about fear or food rules. It's about making informed choices that support strength, energy, and health for decades to come.

Your body will only tolerate what is genetically self—everything else, from organ transplants to breast implants, triggers an immune response that can manifest as chronic inflammation rather than obvious infection, and this response is influenced by your unique genetic detoxification capacity.drrobertwhitfield.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In Episode #198 of the PricePlow Podcast, we sit down with Nora Khaldi, founder and CEO of Nuritas, the groundbreaking company revolutionizing ingredient discovery through artificial intelligence and peptide science. Nora’s journey from pure mathematician and computer scientist to pioneering AI-driven nutrition innovation represents a fascinating intersection of technology and human health. Most listeners know Nuritas from PeptiStrong, the natural anabolic peptide ingredient derived from fava beans that’s making waves in the sports nutrition industry. But there’s so much more to the Nuritas story. This episode explores how Nora, a mathematician, identified a fundamental problem in the supplement industry: an inability to create truly new ingredients to address rapidly evolving consumer health trends. Traditional ingredient development takes decades and costs hundreds of millions of dollars, making innovation nearly impossible for the nutrition sector. Nora explains how Nuritas spent seven to eight years building proprietary AI technology called Magnifier, which integrates machine learning, proteomics, peptidomics, and molecular biology to identify bioactive peptides in nature. The conversation covers the company’s entire peptide portfolio, including PeptiSleep, PeptiYouth, PeptiControl, and the upcoming PeptiPump, along with the clinical science, regulatory challenges, and manufacturing processes behind each ingredient. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/nora-khaldi-nuritas-198 Video: Nora Khaldi on AI-Powered Peptide Discovery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ7Mmft2maA Detailed Show Notes: From Mathematics to Peptide Innovation (0:00) – Introduction: The Mathematician Who Revolutionized Peptide Discovery (0:30) – The Innovation Gap in Supplement Ingredients (2:30) – The Data Problem: Why AI Was Essential (4:45) – Timeline and Technology Development: Before ChatGPT (6:15) – Building Proprietary Data from Scratch (8:45) – Beyond Efficacy: The Complete Ingredient Development Equation (10:15) – What Is a Peptide?

I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Jason Fung today. We last connected in October 2020 for Episode 121.  Dr. Fung is a nephrologist and a prominent figure in the intermittent fasting and low-carb space. He has made significant contributions as a founding member of The Fasting Method, providing evidence-based guidance on weight loss and blood glucose management through low-carb diets and intermittent fasting. He has written several books, including The Obesity Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, The Diabetes Code, and The Cancer Code.  In our discussion today, we look at the forecast for metabolic health in 2024, exploring how the growth of the diabetes population relates to the effects of the pandemic and addressing the conflict of interest with organizations like the ADA and registered dieticians. Dr. Fung shares some of his biggest frustrations, including the shallow and myopic thinking amongst those focusing on calories in and calories out, and we get into various facets of metabolic health, from the nuanced influences of gender, puberty, perimenopause, and menopause to hedonistic eating, sarcopenia, bio-individuality, and therapeutic fasting. Dr. Fung also shares his perspective on GLP-1s, shiftwork, supplements, and more. Join us for valuable insights on various aspects of metabolic health and how they impact our well-being. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN How the influence of food companies has led dieticians and diabetes associations to focus on moderation instead of a balanced diet Dr. Fung shares his frustration with the lack of progress in addressing the diabetes issue How hormones impact weight gain and hunger Why does focusing on calories in and out not provide the solution to weight loss? How intermittent fasting can help to control hormonal issues How middle-aged women need to find balance when fasting to maintain muscle mass and avoid sarcopenia How intermittent fasting can lead to increased strength despite losing muscle mass  What causes shift workers to gain weight?

This conversation is not about ‘surviving' menopause.It's about claiming power, pleasure, and potency on the other side of it.Sally sits down with Carla Wainwright, holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and self-described midlife alchemist, for a deeply grounding, myth-shattering conversation about what really happens when women cross the threshold of midlife.With a background in biology, homeopathy, and over 30 years of embodiment work, Carla bridges science and the sacred in a way that feels both practical and deeply liberating. This isn't woo for the sake of woo, and it's not cold science either. It's the place where metabolism, trauma, hormones, pleasure, and power actually meet.In this episode, we talk about why menopause is not a decline but a rite of passage. Why so many women feel unprepared for it, and why the years after perimenopause can become the most creative, sexually alive, and authentic chapter of a woman's life…if she's supported properly.Carla shares how her own journey — from wildlife biologist working with endangered species to guiding women through sexual healing and midlife transformation — came full circle when she entered perimenopause herself. What emerged was a model she calls sacred metabolism: tending not just to blood sugar and hormones, but to the nervous system, the inner child, and the feminine life force itself.We explore why unstable blood sugar can keep women stuck in fight-or-flight, amplify trauma, worsen menopausal symptoms, and quietly erode desire. Why pleasure isn't indulgent. And why many women lose touch with intimacy, not because something is wrong with them, but because no one ever taught them how to stay connected to their bodies as they change.This episode also dives into sex in midlife — honestly, tenderly, and without shame. We talk about why desire changes, why stress is the ultimate libido killer, and why reconnection always starts with the relationship you have with yourself. No pressure to perform. No swinging from chandeliers. Just curiosity, safety, and choice.You'll also hear:Why menopause can make women less people-pleasing and more clear about what they wantHow sexual energy shifts when menstruation ends — and why some traditions call this phase “the second spring.”The link between trauma resurfacing and perimenopauseWhy women initiate most divorces between 45–55How sacred feminine practices reconnect women to intuition, creativity, and embodied wisdomThe myths about menopause that quietly serve patriarchySimple daily practices that build momentum when you feel stuck in survival modeThis is a conversation about remembering who you are — in your body, in your desire, and in your power — at a stage of life that has been deeply misunderstood

Sometimes the healthiest choice isn't the prettiest one — and in this candid conversation, Dr. Hazan flips conventional wellness advice on its head.In this re-released episode of BS Free MD, Dr. Hazan joins the show to break down why food quality matters more than food perfection, how shame and diet culture derail people's health journeys, and why living well doesn't come from restriction — it comes from sustainable habits grounded in science and compassion.Whether you're tired of fad diets or simply want a more balanced view of food, this episode brings clarity, humor, and evidence-based insight to a topic most of us wrestle with every day.

Most health insurance is designed to treat disease after it shows up, not to keep you truly healthy or extend your life. In this video, we explain how longevity medicine and preventive screening can help reduce your risk of heart attacks, cancer, dementia, and other predictable causes of death. We walk through a practical “pyramid” of health: starting with foundations like exercise, VO₂ max, strength, sleep, stress management, and nutrition. From there, we move into regenerative medicine tools such as hormone replacement therapy, testosterone support for men, joint and arthritis treatment, metabolic weight-loss programs, venous circulation care, and sleep apnea treatment. Then we explore advanced preventive screening that goes beyond basic labs, coronary calcium scores, CIMT, full-body MRI, and neuro-quantitative brain scans that can reveal problems years before symptoms appear. Our goal with longevity medicine and preventive screening is not just to add years to your life, but to add quality to those years. We want you to understand your real risks early and know what options exist before a major event occurs.Timestamps:00:00 — Why Health Insurance Doesn't Create Longevity02:10 — Phase 1: Fitness, VO₂ Max & Lifestyle Foundations03:35 — Why Being Fit Makes You Harder to Kill04:15 — Phase 2: Regenerative Medicine & Hormone Therapy06:30 — Weight Loss, Metabolic Health & Lifespan07:30 — Sleep Apnea and 3x Higher Mortality Risk08:15 — Phase 3: Preventing Predictable Causes of Death08:40 — Advanced Heart Screening Beyond Standard Labs09:40 — Full-Body MRI, Cancer Screening & Early Detection10:20 — Brain Imaging and Early Dementia Risk11:55 — Biological Age vs Chronological Age12:30 — Reversing Heart Disease Risk with Data13:10 — Why Knowing Your Risk Early Changes EverythingLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedical.com/inner-circle-membership/Subscribe to the show & leave a 5-star review!#insidethecure

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast where we explore the latest news and breakthroughs surrounding one of today's most talked about medications.I'm your host, and today we're diving into what you need to know about Ozempic and its growing role in weight management and health.Let's start with the basics. Ozempic is a medication originally approved by the FDA for managing Type 2 diabetes. But here's where it gets interesting. The medication contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient found in Wegovy, which was specifically approved as an anti-obesity treatment. According to Cleveland Clinic, when Ozempic is prescribed for weight loss, it's considered off-label use, meaning doctors are prescribing it for a purpose beyond its original FDA approval.So how does it actually work? Ozempic belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs mimic a hormone your digestive tract naturally produces. When you take Ozempic, your body produces more of this hormone, which decreases your appetite and makes you feel fuller. But it does more than just suppress hunger. Cleveland Clinic explains that semaglutide changes how your body responds to food and weight loss by affecting the signaling between your gut and brain. This is significant because it treats obesity as a metabolic disease, not simply a behavioral problem.The weight loss results speak for themselves. In a landmark study cited by Cleveland Clinic, people using semaglutide combined with lifestyle changes lost about fifteen percent of their body weight in sixty-eight weeks, averaging thirty-four pounds. Those who didn't take the medication lost only about six pounds on average.But listeners, there's an important reality to understand. These medications aren't quick fixes. According to Cleveland Clinic, people often regain weight once they stop taking the medication. A follow-up study mentioned by Sword Health found that people who stopped semaglutide regained about two-thirds of the weight they lost within a year.Here's another critical point. Research shows that up to thirty-nine percent of weight lost on these medications can come from lean muscle, not just fat. This matters because muscle supports your metabolism. When you lose muscle, your body burns fewer calories, which can lead to weight loss plateaus. The solution isn't eating less. According to Sword Health, the most effective approach is preserving and rebuilding muscle through strength-focused movement.It's also important to know that Ozempic isn't suitable for everyone. Cleveland Clinic warns against obtaining these medications through unverified sources or compounded versions. The safety and effectiveness of compounded versions haven't been formally tested and may act differently in your body than FDA-approved versions.Cost remains a significant barrier. Cleveland Clinic notes that these medications can be expensive due to limited insurance coverage, which is why some listeners might be tempted to seek cheaper alternatives online. But that's where caution is essential.Looking ahead, research is exploring additional benefits beyond weight loss. These medications are now being studied for potential effects on aging and other health conditions.The bottom line for our listeners is this: Ozempic can be a powerful tool for managing obesity when combined with lifestyle changes and professional medical supervision. But it requires a long-term commitment and shouldn't be viewed as a quick solution.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

What if you could lose 20 or even 30 pounds—and still be marching straight toward diabetes, fatty liver disease, or early heart disease?  In Part 1 of this New Year Series, Ted reframed the entire conversation around aging by explaining why longevity isn't about living longer, but about extending healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent.  >>> Click here for part 1  In Part, he tackles one of the most dangerous misconceptions in modern health: the belief that weight loss automatically equals health. In an era of GLP-1 medications, more people are losing weight than ever—but metabolic disease continues to rise. Ted explains why this disconnect exists and why weight loss is only the lowest bar of health, not the finish line.   He also breaks down what metabolic health actually means and explains the critical role of muscle, cardiovascular fitness, blood sugar control, and lifestyle habits in determining how you feel today and how you'll age tomorrow.  If you've ever assumed that losing weight was enough, this discussion will challenge that belief—and show you what needs to come next.    You'll learn:  Why weight loss alone does not guarantee metabolic health  How obesity rates can fall while diabetes and fatty liver disease rise  What metabolic health really means—and why only a small percentage of adults have it  Where GLP-1 medications fit—and where they fall short   Why healthspan—not lifespan—should be the real goal after 40    What Ted discusses in this episode:    (00:00) Introduction   (02:19) The Reality of Metabolic Health   (03:51) Understanding Metabolic Health and Its Importance   (16:16) The Role of GLP-1 Medications   (21:05) The Importance of Muscle and Preventing Muscle Loss   (23:19) Weight Regain and Long-Term Health   (25:48) Conclusion: Building Real Health Beyond Weight Loss 

Most people don't actually want to live to 90 or 100. Not because they don't love life—but because they're afraid of what those extra years might look like. Loss of independence. Chronic pain. Medications. Watching their world slowly shrink. When people say, "I don't want to live that long," what they're really saying is, "I don't want to live like that."   In the first episode of this new Year series, Ted reframes the entire conversation around aging. Instead of asking how long you'll live, he asks a more important question: How well will you live? Ted talks about healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent—and explains why it matters far more than lifespan alone.   He also breaks down why so much age-related decline is driven by lifestyle, not genetics, why modern healthcare focuses on crisis instead of prevention, and which core pillars actually determine how you age.   If you want 2026 to be the year you stop fearing the future and start building a body—and a life—that lasts, this is where the conversation begins. Listen now!    You'll learn:  How metabolic dysfunction silently accelerates aging  The role of muscle, strength, and power in maintaining independence  Why cardiovascular fitness and VO₂ max are strong predictors of longevity  How visceral fat drives inflammation and chronic disease  Why weight loss alone doesn't fix metabolic health    What Ted discusses in this episode:   (00:00) Introduction  (02:00) The Reality of Aging and Healthcare  (04:38) The Longevity Masterclass: Healthspan vs. Lifespan  (14:32) The Importance of Metabolic Health  (17:12) Muscle Strength and Power: Your Aging Insurance Policy  (18:36) Heart Aging and VO2 Max  (19:50) Brain Aging and Lifestyle Factors  (21:45) Series Overview and Conclusion 

Popular media leverage weak study to criticize RFK Jr.'s rethink of standard recommendations for saturated fat avoidance; Poor quality plant-based diets hike cardio risk; A listener complains his lp(a) is going up with age despite his healthy diet, lifestyle; Scientists pinpoint cocoa ingredient that slows aging; Berry proanthocyanidins preserve brain power; Tattooing may promote inflammation, undermine immunity.

In this episode, I'm guiding you through the concept of "ignition" — how to spark positive change in your body, especially when it comes to metabolism, weight loss, and overall well-being. I address the struggles many women face with stubborn weight, metabolic adaptation, and the impact of stress, hormones, and lifestyle on health.

So many women on a fertility journey are told to eat less, train harder, cut carbs, and push through. But what if those very strategies are the reason your hormones feel off, your cycles are irregular, or ovulation has quietly disappeared?In this powerful and validating conversation, we unpack the critical connection between metabolic health, female hormones, and fertility — and why so many well-intentioned health habits actually send the body into survival mode, where reproduction becomes the lowest priority.Joining me in this conversation is Ashley Fillmore! Ashley is a leading expert in sustainable weight loss. She helps women heal their metabolism, balance their hormones, and achieve body-composition changes that last a lifetime. Ashley has a BSc in Exercise and Nutrition and is a certified personal trainer, professional nutrition coach, and health educator with nearly twenty years of experience! Ashley is the host of the Cheers to Your Success Podcast and the founder and president of Metabolic Fix™ – a premium online coaching company that has helped thousands of women finally break free from chronic dieting and achieve long-term, sustainable results using the Metabolic Fix Method™. She is deeply committed to helping women better their lives and strives to inspire others to embrace the life of health, happiness, and self-love they deserve.If you've ever thought:“I'm eating clean, but my cycles are getting worse.”“I'm trying to lose weight, but my hormones feel broken.”“I don't even know if I'm ovulating anymore.”“Why does fertility feel so hard when I'm doing everything right?”…this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.In this episode, we cover:

In this Deep Dive episode of The Trip Lab, we unpack hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) beyond the oversimplified “LDL bad, HDL good” narrative. We also take a clear-eyed look at the most common concerns people have about statins, what the evidence actually shows, and where these medications fit—and don't fit—within a thoughtful, individualized approach to cardiovascular risk.From there, we explore integrative strategies for managing elevated cholesterol and why, for many patients, lifestyle, metabolic health, and inflammation-targeted interventions may be more effective than medications alone.In this episode, we discuss:Why cholesterol is biologically essential and not inherently pathologicalThe limitations of relying on LDL alone to assess cardiovascular riskHow inflammation, insulin resistance, genetics, hormones, and lifestyle influence lipid metabolismWhen elevated cholesterol truly signals disease—and when it may reflect a compensatory or adaptive responseThe role of advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP and CAC scoresWhy risk stratification—not fear-based medicine—should guide clinical decision-makingWhat statins can (and cannot do) and we break down the concerns people have with themWhy integrative approaches (nutrition, exercise, herbal options and mind-body medicine) truly treat the root cause of diseaseThis episode is for clinicians, patients, and anyone looking to move beyond simplistic cholesterol narratives toward a more nuanced, evidence-based understanding of cardiovascular health.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil.

Exploring the Benefits and Science of CBD and Canna Mimetics with Expert Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil. She has a deep-dive into the latest updates on CBD (cannabidiol) products, their benefits, and distinctions from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Frank explains the endocannabinoid system and how phytocannabinoids like CBD can help achieve homeostasis in the body, aiding in stress management, inflammation, and gut health. They discuss the nuances of different cannabis plants, the current landscape of CBD research, and the misconceptions around THC use. Additionally, Maggie introduces some innovative CV Sciences products, including those that do not contain CBD but offer similar benefits through canna mimetics—natural compounds that mimic the effects of cannabinoids. Among these products are a focus-enhancing gummy and a metabolic support formulation called ReShape. They also touch upon upcoming legislation and how it impacts the hemp industry. The discussion highlights the broad-spectrum potential of CBD and related compounds in promoting overall health and addressing various conditions.

After 20+ years treating cancer patients, Dr. Christy Kesslering started asking a question her colleagues weren't asking: why are so many of my breast cancer patients metabolically sick — even when they're not obese?That question changed everything.Dr. Kesslering is a classically-trained radiation oncologist, metabolic health practitioner, and terrain theorist. She spent two decades practicing oncology in the Chicagoland area before transitioning to focus full-time on what she believes is the missing piece in cancer care: mitochondrial health, and metabolic dysfunction. She now works with cancer patients and chronic disease clients through a telehealth practice built on comprehensive lab work, real-food nutrition, and terrain-based principles.Questions Answered in This Episode:What is mitochondrial dysfunction and how does it relate to cancer?Are processed foods, seed oils, and glyphosate implicated in rising cancer rates?Can fasting or ketogenic diets reduce chemotherapy side effects?What's the difference between cachexia and healthy fat loss in cancer patients?How do you identify which foods are problematic for your body specifically?What does Dr. Kesslering believe has the biggest impact on cancer outcomes?A rare look at what happens when a passionate physician follows the data wherever it leads — and why she believes the future of cancer care starts with metabolism.Big 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.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Send us a textHow ketosis and ketogenic diets work and how these tools can improve metabolic health, brain function, and even cancer management.Topics Discussed:Organs have different fuel preferences: brain strongly prefers glucose, heart prefers fatty acids, skeletal muscle is flexible and likes fat/ketones.Humans evolved with high metabolic flexibility; regular ketosis was normal for ancestors, but today most people never experience it.“Keto flu” is largely glucose withdrawal plus electrolyte/sodium loss; proper salt and hydration prevent most symptoms.Classic medical ketogenic diet is ~90% fat (historically saturated); modern versions often use more monounsaturated fats, MCTs, and higher protein.Saturated fat is not inherently atherogenic in the context of weight stability or caloric deficit; excess calories from any source can dysregulate metabolism.Exogenous ketones (e.g. BHB) provide energy, reduce ROS, stabilize membranes, increase inhibitory tone (GABA), and have hormone-like signaling effects independent of diet.Cancer cells often show Warburg effect (damaged mitochondrial respiration → heavy reliance on glycolysis); lowering glucose and raising ketones can stress cancer cells.True keto-adaptation for athletic performance requires 6–12 weeks; after that, elite athletes can match or exceed prior high-carb performance at sub-maximal and endurance efforts.Practical Takeaways:Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (50–100 g/day for many people) plus occasional fasting or ketone supplements can restore metabolic flexibility with far fewer side effects than strict keto.Prioritize whole-food fats (eggs, fatty fish, beef, olive oil, butter/lard) and minimize processed keto products loaded with seed oils.Supplementing BHB (salts or esters) or MCT oil can ease the transition into ketosis, boost ketones without strict dieting, and may support brain and metabolic health.Regularly check basic blood markers (glucose, lipids, electrolytes) and consider an OmegaQuant test; optimizing metabolic health is one of the strongest preventable steps against cancer, neurodegeneration, and heart disease.Supplemental Ketone (BHB):KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB with potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Exploring the Microbiome and Longevity with Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Inc., which specializes in premium probiotic products. He's known as the Natural Pharmacist. He details the pivotal role of the gut in chronic disease, referencing the ancient insights of Hippocrates, and explores the concept of postbiotics. The conversation touches on the influence of gut health on various organ systems, the importance of diversity in the gut microbiome, and how lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and sleep contribute to healthy aging. They also tackle cutting-edge topics such as the implications of GLP-1 medications, anabolic resistance, and the potential benefits of rapamycin for longevity.

We have another episode in a series of discussions with well-vetted guests from companies that I feel my community would benefit from hearing about Today, I speak with Dr. Stephanie Venn Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and the co-founder and co-CEO of Serafina Therapeutics. She has worked with the World Health Organization, DARPA, and the US Navy. She has over 70 patents and has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers, and her discoveries have featured on NPR, Science Friday, BBC, NBC, and National Geographic. Her groundbreaking discoveries around the health benefits of C15:0 are the topic of a recent book. In our conversation today, we explore longevity molecules and geno-protective molecules, why they matter, and how they work. We cover the basics of rapamycin and glucophage, then dig into the growing body of research on longevity and lifespan, specifically looking at C15:0, what it is, what it does, why it's important, and how it's the first essential fatty acid discovered in decades. We look at its wide-ranging pleiotropic effects on metabolic health, mood, sleep, the brain, gut, and immunity, as well as the signs of low C15:0 levels and the specific labs that can identify a deficiency. We also talk about the benefits of supplementation and improved bioavailability.  Since I have been taking C15:0 myself over the last four to five months and noticed improvements in my recovery and sleep, I'm excited to share this informative and helpful conversation, humbly dedicated to the essential saturated fatty acid, C15:0. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: • The role C15:0 plays in guiding the aging process and new findings about its benefits for the immune  system, brain, and longevity • C15:0's emerging importance as a key player in metabolic balance • What Dr. Venn-Watson's animal studies revealed about the mechanisms of aging in humans • Why women in midlife become more vulnerable to shifts in immune quality and cellular resilience • The ways nutritional deficiencies can appear in blood markers long before symptoms develop • What occurs with red blood cell stability and aging markers when C15:0 levels are too low • Which biomarkers are now being considered early indicators of biological aging • Formulation features of C15:0 that enhance its bioavailability • The multiple bodily systems that can benefit from supplementing with C15:0 Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on ⁠X⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia's ⁠website⁠ Submit your questions to ⁠support@cynthiathurlow.com⁠ Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow) ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/themidlifepause⁠ Cynthia's ⁠Menopause Gut Book ⁠is on presale now!

Exercise switches on waves of genes, proteins and metabolites that boost energy production, repair tissues and stabilize blood sugar, helping you feel more focused and resilient Endurance and strength training activate different molecular pathways, allowing you to choose routines that match your goals for stamina, fat burning or metabolic control Movement improves the signals your bloodstream uses to coordinate immunity, inflammation and stress responses, which supports steadier moods and better overall health Your muscles release tiny molecular "packages" during activity that influence distant organs like your brain and liver, creating whole-body benefits you can't get from sitting still Short, consistent bouts of movement throughout the day reinforce healthier cellular signaling, making it easier to maintain energy, manage weight and stay metabolically flexible

I am thrilled to reconnect with Nick Norwitz today. Nick is a researcher and educator with a mission to make metabolic health a mainstream concern. He graduated valedictorian from Dartmouth College, completed his PhD in metabolism at the University of Oxford, and earned his MD at Harvard Medical School. He has become known as a clinical researcher and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on various topics, including brain health, microbiome, mitochondrial function, cholesterol, and more.  In our conversation, we discuss the challenges of providing evidence-based medicine, and Nick shares his personal story of overcoming inflammatory bowel disease with a ketogenic diet. We explore the research on statins reducing endogenous GLP-1 production, highlighting the importance of staying curious. We also clarify the different types of type 2 diabetes, the effects of biomolecular aging, and different perspectives on Lp(a).  Nick always provides thoughtful and valuable insights on a range of topics. His Substack is one of my favorites, sharing several ways to enhance your learning process, as a clinician or a layperson. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How his struggle with inflammatory bowel disease led Nick to realize that the evidence-based care of western medicine is not always the best type of care, and how a ketogenic diet saved his life How a recent study highlighted several major physical issues statins cause, yet it went largely unnoticed in medicine and the media The need for clinicians to inform their patients about the potential side effects of their medications How physicians tend to ignore evidence in favor of one-sided messaging that erodes trust and undermines informed care The importance of remaining curious and acknowledging that what you learned initially might be incorrect How technological advances will make personalized medicine the future of healthcare The limitations of traditional one-size-fits-all randomized controlled trials The sub-phenotypes of type 2 diabetes How enzyme inhibitors (like statins) disrupt the gut microbiome How metabolic health and oxidative stress affect Lp(a), and how vitamin C can potentially reduce its impact Bio: Nick Norwitz Nick Norwitz, MD, PhD, is a researcher-educator whose mission is to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” He graduated Valedictorian from Dartmouth College, majoring in Cell Biology and Biochemistry, before completing his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford and his MD at Harvard Medical School.  Nick has made a name for himself as a clinical research and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on topics ranging from brain health, the microbiome, and mental health to muscle physiology, mitochondrial function, and cholesterol and lipids. His mantra is “Stay Curious.” Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Nick Norwitz On YouTube, X, and Instagram His Substack

In this foundational episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore why fasting insulin may be the most critical yet overlooked health metric for preventing chronic disease and achieving lasting weight loss. They break down insulin's essential roles throughout the body—from brain health and bone growth to muscle building and hormone production—while explaining how insulin resistance silently develops years before diabetes diagnosis. The hosts reveal why standard medical testing focuses on downstream markers like fasting glucose and A1C instead of measuring insulin directly, and they provide practical guidance on how to order your own fasting insulin test for as little as $20. They discuss optimal insulin ranges based on leading researchers, explain the HOMA-IR calculation for assessing insulin resistance, and deliver actionable strategies including time-restricted eating, protein prioritization, zone two exercise, and stress management. This episode empowers you to become your own health advocate by understanding and optimizing this upstream marker that connects to eight of the top ten causes of mortality. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.
