Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWhat if your symptoms aren't random but signals asking for better inputs? We sit down with Dr. Alexandra Geyer, an emergency physician turned metabolic health expert, to map a clear route from “normal labs” to real recovery. Her story of hitting a wall during residency and rebuilding health informs a practical, hopeful framework that blends advanced diagnostics, evidence-backed peptides, and everyday habits that actually stick.Dr. Geyer explains why metabolic health is the engine for energy, mood, sleep, and longevity, and how to measure it beyond the scale.  We then widen the lens to hormone health, including free T3 and thyroid antibodies to catch early Hashimoto's, plus sex hormones that determine drive and resilience. The message is simple: when you fix the signals, action feels possible again.Peptides step in as precision tools, not magic bullets. You'll hear how BPC-157 calms inflammation and supports tissue repair so movement stops hurting; how Selank and Semax lower neuroinflammation, lift BDNF, and restore calm focus; and how Pinealon can reset circadian rhythm with a short, yearly cycle. Safety comes first: no black-market sourcing, strict sterility and purity testing, and clear contraindications for cancer and pregnancy. We also dive into gut microbiome testing to address stubborn symptoms and the role of micronutrients when convenience foods drain capacity.By the end, you'll have a grounded plan: build lean muscle, favor whole foods that don't hijack appetite, test what matters, repair the gut, and use targeted peptides to amplify the good habits you're already trying to keep.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show breaking down the latest news, research, and real-life stories around Ozempic, the medication making headlines for weight management and beyond.Today, we will dive into some of the biggest updates, from its impact on both weight loss and heart health, to new science on how the medication truly works—plus what listeners should know when considering this medication in their own lives.A recent comprehensive study led by University College London has revealed that Ozempic, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, not only aids in weight reduction but also offers significant protection against heart attacks and other major heart events. The study, published in The Lancet, was conducted on over seventeen thousand adults who were overweight and had cardiovascular disease. Participants received weekly semaglutide injections or a placebo. Earlier findings showed a 20 percent reduction in the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other major cardiac events among those on semaglutide.What makes these findings truly remarkable is that semaglutide's heart protection was seen in people across all body types. Adults whose body mass index was only slightly elevated, around twenty-seven, experienced the same level of cardiovascular protection as those with obesity. This means you do not have to be significantly overweight to benefit from the drug's heart-protective effects. According to the lead researcher Professor John Deanfield, this could reshape how and to whom Ozempic is prescribed in the future. He stated that limiting the use of the medication only to people with the highest body weights may not be the best policy, particularly for those who are looking to address cardiovascular risks.The study also highlighted that while a reduction in waist size does contribute to some of the heart protection—about one-third to be exact—the majority of heart health benefits cannot be explained by weight loss alone. Professor Deanfield emphasized that Ozempic directly impacts heart disease and other conditions associated with aging.These discoveries raise new questions about the potential long-term uses of Ozempic, not just as a tool for weight loss, but as a preventive therapy for aging-related diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.Of course, benefits must always be balanced against possible side effects. It is important to remember that while Ozempic can be a powerful medicine, it is not for everyone—and it is not a quick fix. According to recent real-world surveys published in Patient Preference and Adherence, a substantial majority, around seventy-two percent, of people who started Ozempic did so solely for weight loss, while another twenty percent used it for both weight control and diabetes management. Most initiated therapy at lower doses, with gradual increases over time.However, like any medication, Ozempic does carry risks. Users have reported gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and diarrhea. Rare but serious risks exist, such as concerns around thyroid tumors found in animal studies and pancreatitis. Long-term safety data is still being gathered, and health care providers weigh these factors when advising patients.Public awareness of Ozempic has been driven by direct-to-consumer advertising. New studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association dissect this trend, noting that advertising can influence patient expectations and prompt conversations with health care providers, but it also underscores the importance of educated decision making.With all these updates and the growing body of research, the most important advice is to consult a qualified health care provider before starting or stopping Ozempic or any weight loss medication. Each person's medical background and goals are unique. These new discoveries mean that more people than ever are wondering if Ozempic might be right for them—not just for weight management, but also as a tool to reduce long-term health risks.Thanks for joining us today on Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

his week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor tackle the biggest listener questions about sustainable weight loss, metabolic health, and why restrictive diets so often backfire. From medications like GLP-1s to common myths about exercise and nutrition, this episode delivers practical science and down-to-earth advice for anyone struggling with their weight and/or health.Dr. Cooper breaks down why obesity is a physical sign of underlying metabolic dysfunction and sets the record straight about what really works for long-term health—spoiler: it's not endless calorie counting or exercise alone. Listeners from around the world share their struggles and triumphs, and Dr. Cooper explains the roles of genetics, “food noise,” dealing with hypoglycemia, and the best ways to fuel your body.Key Questions Answered:Can someone with obesity achieve lasting weight loss without medication? Why don't diets and exercise alone work long-term?What is reactive hypoglycemia after gastric bypass, and how should it be managed?How can people with limited access to healthcare still improve metabolic health?What is “food noise,” and how do new medications target the brain's hunger and satiety signals?Should people use calorie restriction or focus on fueling their bodies for better metabolic health?Key Takeaways:Obesity is best understood as a physical sign of metabolic disease, not a personal failure.There is no diet or exercise program shown to sustain long-term weight loss for those with obesity—medical therapies are usually necessary. Caloric restriction and exercise without medical intervention can slow metabolism and drive weight regain (the “diet backlash” effect). Good metabolic health is possible at any body size. Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress management are essential but cannot, by themselves, reverse obesity.Medications like GLP-1s can help “quiet” food noise by restoring healthy communication between the gut and brain.Lifestyle strategies support metabolic function but aren't strong enough to reverse metabolic disease alone. Focus on eating regular meals, balanced nutrients, and fueling your activity—not on perfection or restriction.Dr. Cooper's Actionable Tips:Find a clinician who listens and is curious about your health, not just weight or calorie intake.Don't be pressured to take medication if you feel healthy and have good lab results, regardless of your weight.Fuel your body consistently with a mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs—perfection isn't necessary.Prioritize sleep and stress management, as both are critical for metabolism.Notable Quote:"There is no diet or exercise program that leads to long-term weight loss in someone with obesity. There isn't. Any time you're introducing that restriction you're opening the door to what's called metabolic adaptation, a slowing of the metabolic system. Why would you want to do that? If your whole goal is to strengthen the metabolic system, why would we want to introduce something that's been proven scientifically to slow the metabolic system down?" — Dr. Emily CooperResources from the episode:Fat Science is your source for understanding why metabolic health—not weight alone—matters more than ever. No diets, no agendas, just science that makes you feel better.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we break down the most up-to-date stories in the world of Ozempic, from healthcare breakthroughs to the cultural waves reshaping how we think about weight loss. I am glad you are here.Let us dig into one of the biggest developments making headlines: a national Gallup survey just revealed that the United States is seeing a real decrease in adult obesity rates for the first time in years. This is not just a blip. Experts are linking the trend to the rapid rise in use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. According to Healthline and CBS News, the number of Americans using these injectables for weight loss has more than doubled in just the past year, with about twelve percent now reporting current use. Women are leading the charge in use and have seen slightly bigger drops in obesity rates compared to men.The story does not stop with adults. Think Global Health points out that Ozempic and similar drugs are being prescribed more frequently to adolescents, with use in children and teens increasing by nearly six hundred percent over the last five years. This surge follows Food and Drug Administration approval for ages twelve and up, but experts caution that pediatric guidelines and global access remain uneven.Back to the grown-ups: age seems to be a key factor. According to Gallup's analysis, adults between forty and sixty-four years old are using these medications most and have had the greatest reductions in obesity rates. Meanwhile, older Americans show higher rates of using these drugs but do not see as big an impact on their obesity numbers.Now, what is happening in the body when someone takes Ozempic? These medications work by mimicking hormones in the gut that help control appetite. They make you feel full longer, reduce hunger, and even curb cravings for fatty foods. The result is, as Medical News Today explains, many people lose meaningful weight — and maintain improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.But here is something that might surprise you. According to a large international study led by University College London and shared in Science Daily, Ozempic does not just help with weight. It reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke by about twenty percent, even for people who do not lose a lot of weight while on the drug. Researchers saw these heart benefits for people across a range of body types. The study found that a reduction in waist size did explain some of the improvement in heart health, but a full two-thirds of the benefits seemed unrelated to weight loss alone, which suggests Ozempic may support heart health through other mechanisms.Let us talk long-term results, because listeners want to know what happens after the initial weight loss. New research shared in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and reported by major health outlets compared Ozempic to other leading medications. Drugs like Mounjaro helped patients lose up to sixteen percent of their body weight over twelve to eighteen months and keep it off for as long as three and a half years. For Ozempic, the sustained weight loss averaged eleven percent over sixteen months, with benefits lasting for around two years. All of these drugs outperformed older medications in long-term trials.However, experts say it is important to be aware of the whole picture. Like all medications, Ozempic and similar drugs come with side effects. The most common are digestive issues like nausea, constipation, or diarrhea, along with headaches and abdominal pain. Fatigue can occur too. And doctors stress that weight management with these drugs is not quick or effortless. It is a long-term process that requires commitment to healthy habits in diet and movement for the results to last.One final thought: as usage spreads, voices like the Pew Research Center note that most Americans now see these medications as a good option for people with true weight-related health issues. Still, a sizeable stigma remains about using them for non-medical reasons.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where the science and stories making headlines come straight to your headphones.

Nayiri Mississian returns for a chat, about what's new and what we learned from the Symposium for Metabolic Health which we attended separately by livestream, and the PHC Conference in London that she attended in person. She also fills me in on her not so pleasant discoveries about peri-menopause, which is improving with treatment.

In this episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of GLP-1 medications like semaglutide — not just as weight-loss or diabetes drugs, but as part of a larger, integrative strategy for your metabolic health. We explore how GLP-1 therapies can interplay with lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, stress regulation, and hormonal balance.You'll hear about:What GLP-1 drugs really are, and why they matter beyond the buzzy headlines and tv ads.How an integrative approach invites you to rethink GLP-1s as a piece of the bigger metabolic puzzle — not just a quick fix.Realities and caveats: the benefits are promising, but navigating side-effects, sustainability, and what happens after therapy matters.Practical takeaways: how to support your body while using or considering GLP-1 therapy — from diet tweaks to stress tools and gut-friendly practices.

BUFFALO, NY — October 27, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on September 17, 2025, titled “Depletion of the TRF1 telomere-binding protein leads to leaner mice with altered metabolic profiles.” In this study led by first author Jessica Louzame Ruano and corresponding author Maria A. Blasco from the Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO), researchers investigated the role of TRF1, a protein known for protecting telomeres, in regulating whole-body metabolism. The results suggest that TRF1 influences metabolic health through mechanisms unrelated to its known function in telomere maintenance. Obesity and metabolic disorders are major health concerns, especially as people age. To explore TRF1's role beyond telomere protection, the research team studied both normal mice and genetically modified mice that lacked TRF1. Mice without TRF1 remained leaner over time, resisted fat accumulation, and showed healthier blood sugar and insulin levels compared to normal mice. Importantly, these benefits occurred without any detectable shortening of telomeres. The leaner body composition in TRF1-deficient mice was not due to reduced food intake or increased physical activity. Instead, the fat loss appeared to result from biological changes in how energy was processed and stored. Male mice without TRF1 gained less weight and had lower LDL cholesterol levels, even on a high-fat diet. Female mice showed milder effects, reflecting known sex-based differences in susceptibility to diet-induced obesity. This highlights the importance of including both sexes in metabolic research. “Major metabolic pathways related with energy production and regulation of metabolism homeostasis were also found downregulated in Trf1-deficient mice.” Gene expression analysis in the liver revealed shifts in several key pathways. Genes related to fat production, energy generation, and muscle growth were downregulated, while genes linked to inflammation and cholesterol synthesis were upregulated. The mice also showed signs of higher energy expenditure and a shift from using fat to protein as an energy source, possibly due to their reduced fat reserves. However, some older mice developed mild liver stress, including fibrosis and DNA damage, suggesting a possible long-term trade-off. Overall, this study expands the understanding of how telomere-related proteins influence more than just cellular aging. By identifying a connection between TRF1 and metabolism, the research opens new possibilities for targeting TRF1 or its pathways to address obesity and related conditions. Still, further studies are needed to clarify how TRF1 affects fat development and whether similar effects occur in humans. DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206320 Corresponding author - Maria A.

Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with Dr. Cate Shanahan, family physician, nutrition consultant, and author of Deep Nutrition and Dark Calories, to discuss her case against industrial seed oils, how they may influence metabolic and mental health, and why she believes they can intensify sugar cravings and insulin resistance. We explore mechanisms she proposes (oxidation, mitochondrial stress), the “Hateful Eight” oils, and practical swaps that listeners can try if they choose to reduce seed oils. This episode presents a viewpoint that's debated in nutrition science; we encourage critical thinking, self-experimentation within a safe plan, and consultation with your care team. What we cover Seed oils vs. sugar: Why Dr. Shanahan argues seed oils may drive sugar cravings and insulin resistance. Oxidation & mitochondria: Her biochemical rationale for how highly unsaturated oils can oxidize and affect cell energy. The “Hateful Eight”: Corn, canola, cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, grapeseed—why she cautions against them. Historical context: Marketing, refinement, and how these oils entered the food supply. Mental health & cravings: Proposed links between oxidized fats, energy instability, mood, and appetite signals. Practical swaps: Unrefined olive, avocado, coconut, butter/ghee; flavor-forward nut/seed oils used unheated; reading labels and cooking at home. Diet nuance: Why some low-carb or plant-forward eaters thrive when minimizing seed oils; where refined proteins fit. Key takeaways If you experiment with reducing industrial seed oils, pair it with whole-food carbs and adequate protein to support energy stability. Favor unrefined, flavor-forward oils (e.g., extra-virgin olive oil) and avoid reheating/frying oils repeatedly. Improvements people report first: steadier energy, fewer GI symptoms, fewer cravings—but your mileage may vary. This topic is scientifically contested; treat it as a hypothesis to test safely, not a moral rule. About Dr. Cate Dr. Cate Shanahan is a board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience reversing disease at its root by avoiding the big three toxic ingredients. She has spent decades translating the warnings of toxicologists about the harms of vegetable oils and sharing those insights here on DrCate.com, with patients, podcast hosts, and in her NY Times bestselling books, including The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition, and Food Rules.  Her passion is helping people feel their best. After getting her BS in biology from Rutgers University, she trained in biochemistry and genetics at Cornell University's graduate school before attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She practiced in Hawaii for ten years where she studied ethnobotany and her healthiest patient's culinary habits. She combined all these scientific fields to write Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. Together with Dr. Tim DiFrancesco and NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and helped forge a partnership between Whole Foods Market and numerous NBA teams. Her insights on the role of seed oils in human disease have been incorporated into Paleo, primal, low-carb, and keto practices.   In May of 2018, she began as Director of Metabolic Health at ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, a progressive, family-run company focused on saving money while improving health.  She's also the Medical & Scientific Advisor at CB Supplements, overseeing their premium-grade multi-collagen protein, and for Beliv, a forward-thinking Latin American beverage company.

Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists, dishes on men's urinary problems, natural support for testosterone, and prostate cancer. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction—play an important role in all phases of urological health. Dr. Geo explains how he interacts with conventional urologists on the faculty of NYU Langone Medical Center where he practices. Why are men's urinary problems not just a matter of prostate size? How can natural strategies alleviate urinary difficulties without the need for surgery or drugs? Besides saw palmetto, what nutraceuticals can benefit men with urinary problems? Are there really natural herbal alternatives to testosterone? For men with prostate cancer who are under active surveillance, is there anything more that can be done to minimize their chance of eventually needing surgery or radiation? What nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals have anti-prostate cancer potential?

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists.

October is a complicated month for so many of us touched by breast cancer. Pink ribbons are everywhere—sometimes they feel celebratory, other times they stir up fear, grief, or difficult memories. Both experiences are real, and both deserve to be honored. In this episode, I invite you to see October through a different lens. Instead of focusing only on awareness, what if we made it about aliveness? I talk about how prevention deserves as much energy as detection, why metastatic breast cancer looks very different today than it did 10–15 years ago, and how daily acts of self-love—like steadying blood sugar, protecting sleep, or moving your body—can transform both health and quality of life. This conversation is about shifting from fear to empowerment, from bracing for bad news to showing up fully for the life that's happening right now. Think of it like a rhinestone ribbon—multi-faceted, sparkly, unapologetically alive.

Most of us will never have our insulin levels tested, yet this single hormone is the body's master regulator of energy. When it stops working properly, almost every system in the body is affected, from how we store fat, to how we age. Today's guest is Dr Ben Bikman, a scientist and world-leading expert on insulin and metabolism. He's a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology at Brigham Young University (BYU) and has spent years researching how changes inside our cells lead to common metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals, speaks at scientific conferences all over the world and is the author of 2 books, Why We Get Sick and How Not to Get Sick. In this conversation, we discuss: Why insulin is the body's “master hormone”, guiding how we store and use energy and how resistance to it can cause a wide range of chronic health problems. The fact that almost 9 in 10 adults show signs of poor metabolic health, and why this is a global issue that affects countries far beyond the United States. How ethnicity and genetics shape the way we store fat, explaining why two people of the same weight and size can face very different risks of conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease. Why focusing only on blood glucose misses the early warning signs of poor metabolic health, and why measuring insulin levels offers a clearer and earlier picture of risk. The visible clues your body may already be giving you – such as skin tags or darker, velvety patches of skin around the neck or armpits – that can indicate chronically elevated insulin. Practical strategies to bring insulin down, from reducing refined sugars and starches to spacing out meals and experimenting with fasting in ways that work for both men and women. So often, we're told that chronic illnesses are inevitable or a natural part of ageing. But as Ben explains, many of these conditions have a common origin – and by focusing on insulin resistance, we can take powerful steps towards prevention and even reversal. This conversation is not about fear, but empowerment. It's a reminder that our everyday choices – how and what we eat, how we move, and how often we give our bodies a rest from food – can profoundly influence our future health.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dylan Gemelli to unpack how rethinking nutrition—especially the role of healthy fats—can transform energy, mental clarity, and body composition. You'll hear why a shift from restrictive eating to a nutrient-rich, fat-fueled diet can reduce inflammation and improve overall health.   You'll also discover the fascinating world of peptides and how they can be used to accelerate recovery, support gut health, and even aid fat loss. Dylan explains which peptides are worth knowing about, how they work, and why they're becoming a powerful tool in functional health.   Beyond supplements and advanced therapies, the conversation highlights simple biohacking strategies that cost nothing but yield huge results. From sleep optimization to sun exposure and recovery routines, Dylan shares the lifestyle tweaks that anyone can implement to feel stronger and more resilient.
