Podcasts about metabolic health

Author and speaker Scott Pectol shares how he went from stressed, sleep-deprived, and on autopilot to energized, leaner, and purpose-driven—without extreme gimmicks. After a harsh wake-up call from his doctor, a deep dive into sleep science, Blue Zones eating, and the “happiness macronutrients” (enjoyment, satisfaction, purpose) reshaped Scott's health and mindset. He breaks down the morning routine that keeps him consistent (pushups, walking, meditation, cold showers), why he chose an alcohol-free path, and how to build a lifestyle that supports fat loss, better sleep, and long-term happiness. What You'll Learn Why sleep is the #1 lever for energy, cravings, and sustainable fat loss The difference between enjoyment vs. satisfaction vs. purpose—and why most of us over-index on quick hits How Scott cut alcohol (and kept his social life) during the lockdown—and why energy became the ultimate motivator Blue Zones-inspired eating (beans/legumes, fiber, minimally processed foods) and real-world experiments that guided his diet A simple monk-style morning routine to hard-wire consistency and self-trust How to use ikigai to align work, health, and purpose Culture vs. biology: why ultra-processed foods hijack dopamine and wreck sleep, mood, and metabolism Tiny “do-it-today” actions that compound: walking, hydration, morning light, breathwork, and cold exposure Notable Quotes “Energy is the first ingredient of happiness—and sleep is the first ingredient of energy.” “Do one hard thing every morning you don't want to do that benefits your future self.” “I stopped outsourcing my emotions to food, alcohol, and TV—and took ownership.” “Walk, sleep, and simple whole foods beat hacks and heroics—consistency wins.” CTA If this episode helped you, follow/subscribe and leave a rating & review—it helps more people find the show.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Today we're switching gears a bit to talk about a medication rather than a peptide — metformin. If you're someone who's interested in peptides for metabolic health or inflammation, you've probably heard metformin mentioned alongside them. It's been around for decades as a diabetes medication, but recently it's gaining attention for its potential benefits beyond blood sugar, including longevity, inflammation, and neuroprotection — even in people who don't have diabetes. Let's get into it. Metformin and Longevity Can metformin really help us live longer? One of the biggest sparks came from a 2014 study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, where researchers found that diabetics on metformin actually lived longer than non-diabetics not taking the medication.  The authors suggested that metformin may offer protective benefits beyond glucose control, possibly by reducing oxidative stress and slowing cellular aging. This inspired the launch of the TAME trial—short for Targeting Aging with Metformin—which is designed to test whether metformin can delay the onset of age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. While results are still pending, it's the first large-scale effort to study aging as a treatable condition, not just a process. Inflammation and Immunometabolism Next up: inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is at the root of so many health issues—heart disease, dementia, even depression. Metformin appears to blunt systemic inflammation by activating AMPK. Think of AMPK as a metabolic master switch that lowers inflammatory signaling. A 2021 review published in Pharmacological Research found that metformin can inhibit NF-κB, a major pathway that drives inflammation. It also helped lower levels of CRP—a protein made by the liver that rises when there's inflammation from things like infection, injury, or chronic disease—and IL-6, another immune system protein commonly elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions. Because of these anti-inflammatory effects, researchers have been exploring metformin's potential in conditions beyond diabetes, including autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), PCOS, and even COVID—where it's been linked to lower mortality in patients with diabetes. Brain Health and Neuroprotection What about the brain? Can metformin help protect against cognitive decline? There's some promising data here too. A 2017 study in Aging Cell found that metformin improved neurogenesis in the hippocampus of aged mice—basically, helping old brains grow new neurons. In 2019 a cohort study in JAMA Network reported that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin had a lower risk of developing dementia compared to those not taking it. Mechanisms may include reduced insulin resistance in the brain, less oxidative stress, and—again—AMPK activation, which promotes mitochondrial health and energy production. Still, human trials are mixed, and more controlled research is needed before we can call it a “smart drug.” Lower Cancer Risk So, here's an interesting one—can metformin actually lower the risk of cancer? Well, the short answer is: maybe. People with diabetes tend to have a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, so part of metformin's benefit could just come from better managing blood sugar and insulin levels. But what's really exciting is that researchers think metformin might do even more than that. There's evidence suggesting it could have direct effects on cancer cells—like slowing down their growth or making the environment less friendly for tumors. Some studies have found lower rates of cancers like breast, colon, and prostate in people taking metformin. Now, this isn't a magic bullet or anything, but it's a promising area of research that's getting a lot of attention. So metformin might be pulling double duty: managing diabetes and potentially helping reduce cancer risk through other mechanisms we're still learning about. Metabolic Health for Non-Diabetics Now here's where it gets controversial—should healthy people without diabetes be taking metformin? Some researchers argue yes, especially for people with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or high inflammation. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity, reduces liver glucose production, and may even support modest weight loss. That said, there are tradeoffs. Metformin can cause stomach-related side effects (e.g., nausea, gas, heartburn, and diarrhea) and vitamin B12 deficiency (which may lead to nerve damage). It can also cause extreme fatigue.  Metformin may sometimes cause sexual side effects, like erectile dysfunction in men. Some studies suggest it might lower testosterone, which we know is important for male sexual health. But interestingly, other research points to metformin actually improving blood flow to the penis, which could help with erectile issues. So, it's a bit of a mixed picture—and it really depends on the individual. And although rare, it can cause lactic acidosis (a life threatening condition where lactic acid builds up in the blood) in older adults, people with advanced kidney disease, or those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol. So it's not a free pass.  So what are my final thoughts and who should you take metformin for longevity? Metformin isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's definitely not something to start just because you heard about it on a podcast. We still need more research—especially in people without diabetes—to really understand who benefits most. But it might make sense for some people, like those with prediabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or even older adults looking to support healthy aging.  As always, it's something to talk through with your healthcare provider.  The science is exciting, but it's all about finding what makes sense for you.

What happens when a physics graduate from the projects decides to return to professional boxing at age 40 after a nine-year hiatus? Ed Latimore's story defies every expectation you might have about both academic achievement and athletic excellence.In this candid conversation, Latimore shares the brutal realities behind his comeback fight, the hidden health issues that were sabotaging his performance for years, and the scientific approach he used to optimize his body at an age when most athletes have long retired. From discovering his thyroid was working against him to uncovering respiratory problems that mimicked COPD, his journey illustrates how even the healthiest among us can have invisible barriers to peak performance.But this isn't just a boxing story. Latimore articulates a philosophy that cuts straight to the heart of human limitation and choice. His insights about sacrifice, priority, and the mathematics of achievement apply whether you're trying to lose weight, build a business, or simply live with more intention.The conversation weaves through his upcoming memoir "Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business," his transition from fighter to writer, and the biomechanical insights he gained that revolutionized his understanding of athletic performance. Along the way, he demonstrates why sometimes the most efficient path isn't the best path for creation, and how constraints can become the foundation for extraordinary achievement.This is raw storytelling from someone who has lived at the intersection of intellectual rigor and physical combat, offering perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom about aging, health optimization, and what's actually possible when you refuse to accept limitations as permanent.BIG IDEAYou can have anything you want, you just can't have everything you want.Contact Info: Ed LatimoreTwitter:https://x.com/EdLatimoreInstagram: https://instagram.com/edlatimoreLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edlatimore/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EdLatimore1Website: https://edlatimore.comInvitee Email: edward.latimore@gmail.comSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the recently released 2025 report on the best overall diets. She critiques the methodology behind nutritional research, emphasizing issues such as recall bias and the reliability of food frequency questionnaires. Leyla then provides an in-depth review of the top ten diets listed in the report: Mediterranean, DASH, Flexitarian, MIND, Mayo Clinic, TLC, Menopause, Dr. Andrew Weil's Anti-inflammatory, Volumetrics, and Cleveland Clinic diets. She argues that many of these diets are misrepresented, particularly regarding their fat content and sustainability claims. Leyla also offers her insights on what constitutes a truly effective and sustainable diet.

Today we have our good friend and colleague Dr. Andrew Koutnik on the show. Andrew is a research scientist who studies the influence of nutrition and metabolism on health, disease and performance. He specializes in Type 1 diabetes and works with a wide range of people to improve their metabolic health and athletic performance. Andrew is a visiting research scientist at IHMC and has worked with Harvard, Johns Hopkins, NASA, and the Department of Defense to develop evidence-based strategies for overcoming complex health challenges. He is a graduate of Florida State University and earned his Ph.D. in medical sciences at the University of South Florida, where he worked with another good friend of ours, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, who has been a previous STEM-Talk guest. Show notes: [00:02:50] Dawn welcomes Andrew to the show and asks him about his website, andrewkoutnik.com, the quote on the site's homepage “Demystifying complex science to help you thrive in your health journey,” and the tagline “Challenging the status quo of metabolic health, human performance, and the management of type1 diabetes.” [00:05:31] Ken asks Andrew how old he was when he first learned he had Type 1 diabetes. [00:08:32] Dawn asks why Andrew believes his Type 1 diabetes is one of his life's ultimate assets? [00:12:51] Ken mentions that Andrew grew up in Tallahassee and that despite suffering from childhood obesity, he was relatively athletic as a child. Ken asks Andrew to talk about his childhood. [00:14:20] Dawn asks Andrew to talk about the weight-loss journey he underwent as a teenager. [00:17:25] Dawn shifts gears to ask Andrew about how he got into science, mentioning that when he was younger, he never saw himself becoming a scientist. [00:20:19] Dawn asks if it is true that Andrew was the sort of kid who would constantly asked questions. [00:22:11] Dawn asks Andrew if it is true that after enrolling at Tallahassee Community College, it took him a while to decide on his major. [00:22:58] Ken asks Andrew to talk about the impact that his undergraduate anatomy and physiology class and professor had on his journey. [00:24:44] Ken mentions that after graduating from FSU, Andrew went to the University of South Florida where he worked with Dominic D'Agostino, who is both a previous STEM-Talk guest and a current colleague of Andrew's. Ken asks Andrew how he met Dom. [00:27:46] Dawn asks Andrew how he came to work in Dom's lab. [00:29:00] Dawn asks Andrew if his wife is still in touch with her former roommate, who connected Andrew and Dom. [00:29:21] Ken asks Andrew to touch on some of the research he did with Dom while he was pursuing his Ph.D. [00:31:49] Dawn shifts gears to talk about Andrew's work in metabolic health and Type 1 diabetes. Dawn explains that a study published by the University of North Carolina found only 12 percent of Americans were metabolically healthy. Additionally, researchers from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University found in 2022 that only 6.8 percent of Americans had good cardiometabolic health. Dawn asks Andrew how he works with people who want to improve their metabolic health. [00:34:19] Ken asks Andrew for his thoughts on the sentiment that a ketogenic diet is hard to sustain. [00:36:55] Ken mentions that  Andrew was part of a review that looked at carbohydrate restriction for diabetes, which is a practice that had been in use since the 1700s. It fell out of favor once insulin was discovered in the 1920s. Ken goes on to explain that carbohydrate restrictive diets, like the ketogenic diet, have regained popularity for the treatment and management of diabetes, weight-loss and a range of other health issues such as migraines, cancer and depression. Ken asks Andrew to first explain the history of carb-restrictive diets as a treatment of diabetes. [00:39:43] Ken asks Andrew to talk more about the aforementioned 2021 review and its argument...

There's a reason more and more people are turning to intermittent fasting as a reset button for the body. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Jockers to unpack what might be the most underrated survival mechanism built into our cells: autophagy. It's a cleanup crew that breaks down damaged mitochondria, clears out zombie cells, and even resets your gut microbiome. If your energy crashes midday, if your cravings hit hard at night, or your body feels inflamed and sluggish no matter what you eat, there's a good chance your cells aren't getting the cleanup time they desperately need. And that starts with insulin staying too high, too often. We talk about how to train your body to burn fat effortlessly, how long it takes to start getting results from fasting, and why most people are unknowingly blocking this cellular self-repair system. Dr. Jockers also shares how to make fasting easier and safer, especially if you've struggled with low energy or headaches. He also explains why you should consider binders during a fast, how to recognize when your mitochondria are stressed out, and the brain-boosting effects of ketones once you hit day three of a longer fast.   "Just like we talk about a vitamin D deficiency or a zinc deficiency, autophagy is like an essential nutrient. You have to go through it to be healthy." ~ Dr. David Jockers   In This Episode: - What is autophagy, and why is it essential? - How to start fasting - Tips for longer fasts and what to include - How ketones reduce inflammation and boost brain health - Are ketone supplements worth it? - Juice and bone broth fasting - Using binders and other protocols to manage detox symptoms during a fast - Fasting's impact on gut microbiome diversity - The link between fasting, clearing of "zombie cells," and longevity   Products & Resources Mentioned: Conquering Chronic Inflammation Summit 2.0: Learn more here https://drtalks.com/summit/conquering-inflammation/  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Use code WENDY to get 15% off at https://boncharge.com  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com   About Dr. David Jockers: Dr. David Jockers is a doctor of natural medicine and a world-renowned expert in metabolic health, fasting, and functional nutrition.

In this riveting conversation, Dr. Stephen Riggs shares his remarkable journey from conventional primary care physician to pioneering metabolic health specialist. After 30 years of traditional practice, everything changed when his wife handed him "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung. Initially skeptical, Dr. Riggs tested the low-carb approach with his patients and witnessed transformations that defied his medical training: patients reversing type 2 diabetes, coming off insulin, and experiencing substantial weight loss in mere months.Dr. Riggs reveals how he built a comprehensive metabolic health clinic within a traditional healthcare system by meticulously tracking patient outcomes and demonstrating remarkable cost savings—over $550,000 annually in medication reductions from just 220 patients. He discusses his "Low Carb Bootcamp" program that achieves a 73% diabetes reversal rate and how his team approach incorporates health coaches, nutritionists, and food addiction specialists.Perhaps most fascinating is Dr. Riggs' observation that 95% of patients with food addiction see their addiction resolved within 8-12 weeks on a ketogenic diet—without specific addiction counseling. He offers practical insights on protein requirements, implementing lifestyle changes in America's heartland, and navigating resistance from colleagues and insurance companies.This conversation offers a powerful glimpse into how evidence-based nutritional interventions are quietly revolutionizing healthcare from within the system, bringing joy back to medicine by truly healing patients rather than merely managing their decline.BIG IDEA"Nutrition went from being basically irrelevant to me—I got almost zero nutritional training, what little I did was probably wrong—and now it's the biggest tool in my toolbox by far."Stephen Riggs, MD Contact InfoPersonal Website:www.livingbyDesignKetonutrition.com Metabolic Clinic Site:MercyOne.org/LivingbyDesign Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Welcome, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked – your trusted source for the latest news and updates on Ozempic and its impact on health, lifestyle, and medicine.Ozempic, originally developed by Novo Nordisk to help manage type two diabetes, has skyrocketed in popularity for its ability to suppress appetite, slow digestion, and help people achieve significant weight loss. Since its approval in 2017, Ozempic's active ingredient, semaglutide, has not only helped people lower their blood sugar, but has also turned into a twenty-one billion dollar blockbuster thanks to growing demand, celebrity mentions, and viral trends on social media.According to recent coverage on NDTV and Science Alert, millions have experienced meaningful weight loss while on Ozempic and similar appetite-suppressing medications. Reports mention that some users have lost up to twenty pounds or more within just a few months. However, new research from Peking University highlights an important concern: weight loss achieved with Ozempic is often not permanent. Studies analyzed over two thousand participants and found that when patients stopped taking these medications, they typically regained the lost weight—on average, about five and a half pounds within five months of discontinuation. Notably, those who lost the most during treatment tended to gain back more afterward. The underlying reasons for this pattern are not totally clear yet, but the body may undergo changes during weight loss that make it harder to maintain results once the medication is stopped.Aside from weight regain, another consideration is muscle loss. UVA Health researchers have found that while GLP-1 medications like Ozempic can help patients shed fat, about half the weight lost can actually be muscle. Dr. Zhenqi Liu has pointed out that losing muscle, especially those essential for posture and movement, can lower overall fitness and well-being. Because of this, experts recommend maintaining regular exercise routines and ensuring enough protein intake while on these medications to help preserve muscle mass.For those concerned about side effects, reports from The Independent note that although most users tolerate Ozempic well, nausea and digestive issues are common and have, in some cases, led to emergency room visits. But, there is promising news on the horizon: scientists have developed an experimental drug, known for now as TDP, that delivered weight loss in animal studies without causing nausea or vomiting. Human trials are expected to begin within two years.Shifting to broader health impacts, three newly presented studies at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery suggest medications like Ozempic may even have brain-protective benefits. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that patients taking Ozempic had a considerably lower risk of stroke-related death compared to those not taking the drug, and seemed to recover better post-stroke.Ozempic is also reshaping eating habits on a national scale. Food Dive recently reported that more than six million U.S. adults – about two percent of the population – are taking GLP-1 medications. Studies from the University of Arkansas show that, on average, users of Ozempic consume seven hundred fewer calories a day and tend to cut back on processed foods, sugary drinks, refined grains, and red meat. Grocery spending overall fell by six percent in households with someone on one of these medications. At the same time, consumption of fruits, leafy greens, and water has increased.However, it is crucial to consider possible psychological effects. Business Insider highlights concerns about new or worsened eating disorders among some users, particularly in those with previous histories of restrictive eating. Experts strongly advise against taking these medications without a genuine medical need.The rise of Ozempic and similar medications represents a major shift in how we approach weight loss and chronic disease—but it is not without its caveats. If you or someone you know is considering or already using Ozempic, make sure to consult with a healthcare professional for comprehensive guidance, emphasizing not just the numbers on the scale, but also total health and long-term wellness.That wraps up this episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Fat distribution matters more than weight alone for metabolic health, with invisible fat deposits in the liver, visceral area, and muscles driving inflammation before subcutaneous fat accumulates. These hidden fat stores can cause metabolic dysfunction even in people who appear thin, with liver fat becoming problematic at just 0.5 pounds while subcutaneous fat allows up to 22 pounds before similar risks develop.• Different fat storage locations have varying impacts on metabolic health• Subcutaneous fat is the least inflammatory and serves as energy storage, insulation, and hormonal signaling• Intramuscular fat directly impairs insulin sensitivity and muscle function• Visceral/abdominal fat secretes inflammatory cytokines and correlates with stress hormones• Liver fat most dramatically impairs metabolic function even in tiny amounts• About 40% of people with metabolic dysfunction have no visible weight issues• Diet composition, stress levels, movement patterns, and sleep all influence fat storage locations• Testing options include DEXA scans, Hume Health Body Pod, liver enzymes, waist-to-hip ratio• Building muscle, reducing refined carbs and alcohol, and managing stress reduce metabolically active fat• Frequent urination often connects to blood sugar issues, mineral imbalances, and dehydrationHydration reccomendations/Minerals/Electrolytes DON'T MISS A BEAT FROM DR.

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.

Story at-a-glance Healthier eating patterns significantly improve cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver fat even when body weight remains unchanged, showing that metabolic benefits occur independently Metabolic markers like insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control improve within six to 12 weeks of dietary changes, providing quick motivation to maintain healthier habits Focusing on whole, nutrient-rich foods and reducing processed options delivers better health outcomes than focusing on calorie counting or macronutrient ratios Eliminating processed foods and sugars reduces chronic inflammation, which damages blood vessels and contributes to insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease development Prioritize whole foods, maintain consistent eating patterns, include adequate carbohydrates, build muscle mass, and gradually increase caloric intake for optimal metabolic function

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.

Episode 3045: Sudden blood sugar spikes can leave you feeling foggy, jittery, or drained, and over time, they may contribute to insulin resistance, weight loss struggles, and increased risk of metabolic syndrome. Danielle Omar shares practical, science-backed strategies to stabilize your glucose levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and support long-term metabolic health without giving up your favorite carbs. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://foodconfidence.com/2023/02/26/blood-sugar-spikes/ Quotes to ponder: "Regular (and prolonged) blood sugar spikes and crashes can lead to insulin and weight loss resistance, premature aging, cognitive decline, hormonal imbalances, cardiovascular disease, increased oxidative stress and inflammation, and even metabolic syndrome." "To avoid major blood glucose spikes after eating carbohydrates, try pairing carbs with fats and proteins such as nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocados, and hard-boiled eggs." "Drink one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (with mother), white wine vinegar, or any other vinegar without added sugars or carbs." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
