Podcasts about metabolic health

Craig Emmerich spent a decade eating low-carb and feeling great — until he wasn't. What followed was a quarter-million dollars, a chronic Lyme diagnosis, and a hard-won education in what diet alone simply cannot do.In this conversation, Craig and Dr. Ovadia pull apart one of the most seductive myths in the metabolic health space: that the right food is always the right answer. They talk protein thresholds, personal fat limits, the case for bio-identical hormones, and the nuanced reality of GLP-1s — all filtered through 20-plus years of clinical observation and thousands of client testimonies.What emerges is a framework built not on ideology but on context. The question isn't which diet is correct. The question is what your body actually needs right now — and whether you're asking that question honestly.Craig and Maria Emmerich's new book, The Art of Metabolic Health, is available at ketomaria.com.BIG IDEAThe number one failure of any diet is noncompliance — and the number one failure of any health strategy is mistaking the tool for the answer.Craig Emmerich Contact InfoWebsiteKetoMaria.comhttps://ketomaria.com/Newest BookThe Art of Metabolic Health https://keto-adapted.com/product/the-art-of-metabolic-health/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a new series on ancestral nutrition by diving into the world of glandular supplements and organ-based nutrition. From beef liver and heart to spleen, adrenal, and pancreas, Jared explains what glandulars are, why they've become so popular again, and how they've been used historically in both traditional cultures and functional medicine practices. He breaks down the nutrient density of organ meats, the role of peptides and cofactors, and why freeze-dried, New Zealand-sourced organ supplements may offer unique nutritional support for energy, stress resilience, immune health, and overall vitality. Jared also discusses the concept of “like supports like,” the importance of sourcing and processing, and practical guidance for anyone curious about adding glandular supplements to their wellness routine.Organ/Glandular ProductsVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

This episode originally aired in 2025 and, as one of our most-loved conversations, we're sharing it again with you today.Today Erin and Sasha continue the exploration of the chakras with Manipura - the third of the seven chakras - which translates  as “the shining sacred jewel.” It is associated with the Fire element, the planet Mars, the color Yellow, and the “Ishta Devata” Hanuman. It is located just above the navel and below the sternum, at our solar plexus — also called the celiac plexus — which is a complex system of radiating nerves and ganglia. It is found in the pit of the stomach in front of the aorta. It is part of the sympathetic nervous system and plays an important role in the functioning of the stomach, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands. This chakra brings Prana to the digestive system, also known as our second brain. From a Western perspective, this is known and expressed as the gut-brain axis (or GBA) - the network of nerves and biochemical signals that connect the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It's a two-way communication system that helps maintain homeostasis. The vagus nerve is one of the main nerves that connects the brain and gut, sending signals in both directions. From a clinical perspective, the GBA can impact disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and memory loss. The GBA can also be linked to conditions like autism, obesity, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. The Manipura chakra is directly linked to our sense of self, self-esteem, sense of purpose, the seat of clear decisive action, vision, dynamic action, assertiveness, discipline, determination, passion, deepest willingness to go beyond, strong will power, courage, resilience, and vitality. When balanced, there is energy and insight, will power and and follow-through, self-reliance, vitality and health. It can only be as balanced as the first 2 chakras. When imbalanced, there is a state of self-doubt, fear, insecurity, wanting, anger, blame, victimhood, depression, and lethargy. Positive affirmations, yoga postures that engage the core such as bow pose, cobra pose, or revolved triangle pose, and kapalabhati pranayama (or breath of fire) help strengthen Manipura when it is weak. We also get into ways of balancing an overactive Manipura, as Pitta-type individuals are prone to over exercising, overworking, and burnout. We hope today's conversation illuminates the ways in which we can reclaim and maintain our personal power, and that it is not as much a process of creating it, as it is discovering that which has always been there and removing what blocks us from experiencing it. Send us Fan MailThis episode is brought to you by Ojas Oasis Ayurveda, Sasha's private clinical practice.

I speak with Johnathan Jarecki, undergraduate science student and host of The Signal Podcast, on all things photobiology. We discuss the full solar spectrum and how ultraviolet, visible, blue, red and near-infrared light each affect human physiology, including the POMC pathway, nitric oxide and blood pressure, and the evidence on sunlight, skin cancer and the vitamin D paradox. We also discuss how artificial light at night suppresses melatonin and disrupts the circadian control of DNA repair, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. TIMESTAMPS03:25 Dr. Max Gulhane04:02 Dr. Gulhane's Love for Science and Medicine09:01 What is Light?12:52 Sunlight Broken Down as a Nutrient14:02 Ultraviolet Light: Sunlight Is More Than Vitamin D15:56 POMC21:38 UVA/UVB on Cardiometabolic Health24:40 Big Picture of UV Light28:41 Sunlight, Skin Cancer, Dermatology Messaging, The Vitamin D Paradox35:10 Blue Light, Artificial Light at Night (ALAN), Mechanisms38:50 Sponsor: Daylight Computer40:34 ALAN, Epidemiology, Cancer, Heart Disease45:04 DNA Repair Mechanisms, Circadian Control47:27 Melanopsin (OPN4), Blue Light, UV Susceptibility53:25 Red, Infrared, Photobiomodulation, Metabolism01:00:08 Blue Light, Metabolism, and the Built Environment01:05:19 Photobiology of Atherosclerosis01:10:11 Blue Light on Cardiovascular Function01:12:25 Three M's of Circadian Health01:18:43 Sunlight, Testosterone, and Reproductive BehaviorFull show notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15zOnh_l6WOe6237CbQrFPkeoQjUZXIm9Ul4ncQTNXDQ/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0Show sponsors:

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   When it comes to health information, it is really hard to find someone that isn't biased.  One way is to be cautious of those making a living selling their own cause.   My mission is to help people live longer and healthier.  It is my job to continue learning and educating people on the best information I can find.  Even if it does not agree with my once held beliefs.  Dr Gregor suggested that eggs are bad because of their cholesterol.  When you read the sources, it certainly shows that cholesterol is in adipose tissue.  And there is inflammation.  But it is far from causation and even the study authors admit to not understanding the role cholesterol plays in inflammation.  Most of our cells make cholesterol and have cholesterol in the membrane.  Surely, we would not possess such a substance if it had no use.  Context matter.  I will discuss this line of thinking as well as how I use testing to confirm a diagnosis rather than screen without regard for pretest probability.   I have adopted a low carbohydrate high saturated fat approach to insulin resistance.  I will be looking to improve fasting insulin levels, decrease HgA1C, improve body composition, and decrease inflammation.  Using these markers, we will work to dial in members markers to attain optimal metabolic health.  If you would like to join us.

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever finished a bag of chips, a sleeve of cookies, or a giant bowl of cereal and thought, "What is wrong with me?"Here's the good news…Probably nothing.In this eye-opening episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Coach Kevin pulls back the curtain on the modern food industry and explains why so many people struggle with cravings, constant hunger, overeating, and weight gain.Spoiler alert - it's not because you're weak.It's because you're living in a food environment specifically designed to make you consume more.From hyper-palatable processed foods and the science of craving to the "Snackification of America" and the hidden power of protein, this episode will completely change the way you look at food, hunger, and your own eating habits.If you've ever felt like food has way too much power over you, this episode is a must-listen.In This EpisodeWhy the food industry profits when you stay hungryThe shocking difference between real food and engineered food productsWhat your grandparents understood about eating that we've forgottenThe science behind cravings, the "bliss point," and hyper-palatable foodsWhy you're hungry all the time (even when you're eating plenty of calories)The Protein Leverage Hypothesis explained in plain EnglishHow constant snacking became normalizedWhy most adults over 50 are dramatically under-eating proteinHow to become "hard to market to" and take back control of your health Key TakeawayThe food industry doesn't get paid when you're nourished.It gets paid when you're hungry again.The goal isn't perfection.The goal is awareness.When you understand how modern food is designed to influence your behavior, you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that support your health, energy, metabolism, and longevity.And maybe the most rebellious thing you can do in today's food environment... is become fully satisfied.Coach Kevin's Challenge This WeekPick ONE thing:

Send us Fan MailYou're eating clean, working out consistently, and doing everything you've been told should work.  So why do you still feel exhausted, inflamed, stuck, or like your body is working against you?In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest mistakes we see women make in midlife: trying to solve stress-related symptoms with more restriction, more exercise, and less food. While these strategies may have worked in the past, hormonal shifts in midlife can make your body far less resilient to chronic stress and far more sensitive to under-fueling, overtraining, and rigid wellness rules.We break down the three hidden stressors that often sabotage energy, metabolism, recovery, and overall well-being:• Under-fueling and its impact on blood sugar, cortisol, and energy• Over-exercising and the hidden inflammatory burden it can create• Over-restriction and the metabolic and mental stress of always trying to be “perfect”You'll learn why these patterns hit harder during midlife, how hormonal changes influence your stress response, and what practical shifts can help you feel better without doing more.If you've been blaming yourself because your old strategies aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different perspective and a more sustainable path forward.Your body isn't broken. It may simply be asking for a different kind of support.In This Episode:Why total stress load matters more in midlifeThe connection between under-fueling and cortisolHow over-exercising can backfireThe hidden cost of restrictive wellness habitsPractical ways to support your body with food, movement, and recoveryReady to Stop Chasing Wellness and start building a strategy that works with your body instead of against it?

FREE RESOURCE:  Click the link and see if the SHED METABOLIC RESET PROGRAM is a good fit for you!  FREE RESOURCE:  Try our Protein Calculator, see how much you might require daily!    In this episode of Wild Medicine, Dr. Michelle and Dr. Tara discuss the critical issue of nutrition education and its impact on health.  They explore how many individuals lack proper guidance on eating, leading to widespread metabolic health issues.  The conversation delves into the importance of understanding dietary patterns, the role of stress and hormones, and the necessity of consistency in eating habits.  They emphasize the need for a structured framework to promote safe and effective eating practices, ultimately aiming to empower individuals to take control of their health.  In this conversation, Dr. Tara and Dr. Michelle discuss the importance of simplifying nutrition to reduce mental load, emphasizing the balance of carbs and protein, the benefits of front-loading calories, and the critical role of fiber in digestive health.  They highlight the need for individuals to take radical responsibility for their health and empower themselves through understanding nutrition.  The discussion is rooted in clinical insights and personal experiences, aiming to provide practical advice for listeners.   Takeaways Nobody taught us how to eat properly, leading to confusion. Creating clarity in nutrition is essential for empowerment. Metabolic syndrome has significantly increased in recent years. 1.54 billion adults are affected by metabolic syndrome. Fundamental nutrition education is lacking in society. Routine and consistency in eating are crucial for health. Carbohydrates often dominate meals, overshadowing protein. Fiber intake is typically much lower than recommended levels. Eating healthy can feel radical in today's food culture. Safety and predictability in eating lead to better health outcomes. Reducing mental load around food choices is crucial. A one-to-one ratio of carbs to protein is beneficial. Front-loading calories can enhance energy levels throughout the day. Fiber plays a significant role in digestive health and overall well-being. Tracking food intake can help identify dietary patterns. Empowerment comes from understanding and taking responsibility for health. Simple dietary changes can lead to significant improvements in health. Meal prep can simplify daily nutrition decisions. Carbs should be included in a healthy diet, focusing on fiber-rich options. Radical responsibility is key to achieving health goals.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Wild Medicine and Eating Habits 03:49 Understanding the Impact of Uninformed Eating 06:52 The Metabolic Health Crisis 10:36 Fundamentals of Nutrition and Eating Patterns 16:07 The Importance of Consistency in Eating 20:26 The Role of Stress and Hormones in Eating 29:49 Framework for Safe and Consistent Eating 30:58 Simplifying Nutrition: Reducing Mental Load 32:28 The Importance of Carbs and Protein Ratios 34:15 Front-Loading Calories for Better Energy 38:50 The Role of Fiber in Digestive Health 41:43 Taking Radical Responsibility for Health 49:03 Empowerment Through Understanding Nutrition   Stay Wild.

Matt explains what metabolic psychiatry actually is, how it differs from conventional psychiatric approaches, and why factors like insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction are now being considered key drivers in conditions such as depression, anxiety, and more severe psychiatric disorders.They explore the growing interest in nutritional and metabolic interventions, including dietary strategies like carbohydrate restriction, and how these may influence brain energy, neurotransmitter function, and symptom outcomes. The discussion also touches on where the evidence currently sits, what clinicians should be cautious about, and how to think about integrating these approaches alongside standard care.It's a thought-provoking conversation that challenges traditional models of mental health, while offering a more biologically grounded way of understanding and supporting the brain.Dr. Matt Bernstein is a highly respected clinical psychiatrist and a leading voice in metabolic psychiatry, with 25 years of experience helping individuals achieve full mental health and functional recovery.He graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University in English literature and earned his medical degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Trained at MGH/McLean, he served as chief resident and later held leadership roles including psychiatrist-in-charge and assistant medical director of the schizophrenia and bipolar inpatient program. He also serves as chief medical officer at Ellenhorn, developing community-based strategies to optimize mental health.For the past five years, Dr. Bernstein has focused on metabolic psychiatry, first in his private practice, and then at Ellenhorn. More recently, he created Accord's comprehensive program and is sharing his expertise through podcasts, national conferences, and briefings for members of Congress. He co-organized the first public conference on metabolic psychiatry, and co-leads a privately funded study evaluating outcomes of Accord's pioneering interventions.He serves on advisory and non-profit boards, including Metabolic Mind, Meru Health, The Metabolic Revolution, and the Coalition for Metabolic Health, helping advance the field both clinically and publicly.https://accordmh.com/our-team/matt-bernstein/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

GLP-1 stopped working? Or is your body trying to tell you something deeper?In this episode, Kylie unpacks the REAL reason so many women hit a weight loss plateau while taking Ozempic, Mounjaro, Semaglutide or Tirzepatide… and why the answer is NOT always “eat less” or “increase your dose.”You'll learn: • Why GLP-1 plateaus happen • The hidden danger of losing muscle while dieting • How chronic stress and cortisol can stall fat loss • Why blood sugar regulation matters more than calories alone • The truth about “metabolic damage” • How under-eating protein can slow your progress • Why your nervous system affects the scale more than you think • The biggest mistakes women make when their appetite drops • How to support your metabolism WITHOUT spirallingThis episode is a must-listen for women over 40 who feel frustrated, stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or scared that their body has “stopped responding.”Because your body isn't broken, babe. It's adapting.And once you understand what's really happening beneath the surface… everything changes.

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

JUNE 2026 Metabolic Health and Mental Health

Forget muscle repair. The reason sleep actually transforms your health is happening inside your skull every night — and it's not what Matthew Walker's TED Talk made famous. In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD breaks down the real science of sleep: the glymphatic system that flushes beta-amyloid from your brain, the hippocampal "sharp wave ripples" that lock in memories, the slow-wave growth hormone pulse you can't make up, and the testosterone and insulin damage that happens in a single week of short sleep. He closes with the single most evidence-based intervention you can do tonight — and it's not melatonin. CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Why The "Sleep For Muscle Repair" Story Is Wrong 01:00 — Part 1: The Muscle Repair Myth (mTOR, Protein Synthesis, 24–48hr Window) 02:00 — Part 2: The Molecular Truth — The Glymphatic System 02:35 — The 60% Brain Cleaning Cycle (Xie 2013, Beta-Amyloid Clearance) 03:30 — Sharp Wave Ripples and Memory Consolidation in Deep Sleep 03:55 — How Sleep Onset Drives 70% of Your Nightly Growth Hormone 04:30 — Sleep Restriction Drops Testosterone 10–15% in One Week 05:00 — Part 3: The Hormonal Layer — Insulin, Cortisol, Ghrelin 05:15 — 4 Nights, 4 Hours: Prediabetes In Healthy Young Men (Spiegel 1999) 06:30 — Ghrelin, Leptin, and Why You Wake Up Hungrier 07:00 — Part 4: The Practical Tactic — Thermal Regulation 07:30 — The 2–3°F Core Temperature Drop That Triggers Sleep 08:00 — Why a Hot Shower 90 Minutes Before Bed Beats Melatonin 08:45 — The 65–68°F Bedroom Rule 09:15 — Part 5: The Reframe — Sleep Is Neurological, Not Muscular KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Muscle protein synthesis runs 24–48 hours post-workout and does not require sleep architecture — it requires amino acids, energy, and time. • During sleep, your brain's interstitial space expands ~60% to flush metabolic waste, including the beta-amyloid and tau proteins implicated in Alzheimer's. • ~70% of your daily growth hormone is released in the first slow-wave cycle — disrupt the first 90 minutes and you blunt the whole night. • Four nights of 4-hour sleep produced prediabetes-level insulin resistance in healthy young men (Spiegel et al., Lancet 1999). • A hot bath or shower 60–90 minutes before bed shortens sleep latency more reliably than melatonin (Haghayegh et al., Sleep Medicine Reviews 2019). Pair with a 65–68°F bedroom.

For so many women, the word "metabolism" has become tied to frustration, body shame, and the feeling that something must be wrong with them. You try to eat less, move more, push harder, and still feel like your body is not responding the way you hoped it would. Metabolism gets talked about constantly, but almost never explained correctly. But what if your body is not fighting against you at all, and has actually been trying to protect you this entire time? In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Alyssa Olenick. She holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology, is a certified sports nutritionist, and a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer whose entire research background is rooted in metabolism and metabolic health. She is also a competitive strength athlete and ultramarathon runner who trains the way she teaches. What she brings to this conversation is the kind of clarity around women's health, strength training, and cardiovascular fitness that most women never get access to from a single source. In this episode, you will discover: The part of metabolic health that has nothing to do with calories or weight What most women are never told about how resistance training actually works in the body What your fitness level actually signals about your long term women's health Why endurance training and strength training are not interchangeable, and why that distinction matters How hybrid training fits into a real schedule without overhauling everything you are already doing What cardio workout routines are actually building in your body over time Where athletic performance fits in even if you have never thought of yourself as an athlete This conversation is grounded in science but written for real life, and it meets you exactly where you are with your body and your health. The science of how your body works is not as complicated as it has been made out to be, and this episode shows exactly why. Let's rebrand wellness together!

What simple daily habits can help you protect your metabolism as you age? In this episode, I explain why focusing entirely on standard scale weight is deeply damaging to your metabolism and overall long-term health. I share actionable insights into why we must shift our perspective toward a muscle-first approach by diligently tracking true body composition over time. Ultimately, while chronological aging is an inevitable privilege, maintaining a vibrant, strong, and powerful body remains a deliberate choice you can make every day. What you'll learn: (01:20) Focus on true body composition rather than traditional weight loss to avoid damaging your metabolic health. (06:07) Understand how poorly designed companion diets alongside GLP-1 medications can trigger severe skeletal muscle loss. (08:59) Discover why building skeletal muscle functions beautifully as metabolic Spanx and a critical sugar sponge for your body. (14:02) Learn the startling rate at which women lose muscle size, overall strength, and explosive power starting at age thirty. (15:29) Implement simple objective office measurements like grip strength or the sit-to-stand test to track physical muscle quality. (25:09) Maximize your physical transformation by balancing the three foundational pillars of muscle development: fuel, movement, and recovery. (27:51) Adjust your calculated daily protein goals to target body weight parameters that successfully overcome age-related anabolic resistance. (45:45) Capitalize on small daily increments of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity to drastically lower all-cause mortality risks. Love the podcast?

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

There's SO much information about wellness hacks, it's hard to know what's worth trying. And then there are pharmaceuticals like GLP-1 medications that seem like the magic bullet for metabolic health. With all of these, are we setting ourselves up for the next public health crisis? Before you or someone you love considers a pharmaceutical or biohack, listen to this episode. Jenn Trepeck of Salad with a Side of Fries breaks down why the wellness industry deserves more credit than mainstream media gives it, and why pharmaceutical solutions like GLP-1 medications and statins cannot carry the full weight of America's health crisis. From affordable, healthy eating strategies to the alarming long-term risks of overreliance on a single hormone pathway, Jenn makes a compelling, research-backed case for a more comprehensive approach to metabolic health. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why GLP-1 medications may be following the same trajectory as statin drugs, and what that historical pattern reveals about where we are headed with metabolic health and long-term outcomes.✅ How eating in season and shopping at ethnic grocery stores can make whole foods nutrition genuinely affordable, healthy eating for more people, regardless of income level.✅ The critical connection between reduced food intake on GLP-1 medications, nutrient deficiency, and the alarming rise of osteoporosis and cancer risk, especially for younger populations and children.✅ Why fat cell memory and the Minnesota Starvation Experiment both reveal that weight loss without lifestyle medicine and nutritional education is unlikely to produce lasting results.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into real-life wellness and weight loss, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why mainstream media voices unfairly dismiss the wellness industry05:50 A critique of how major journalists cover GLP-1 medications without consulting balanced sources or opposing viewpoints13:33 The argument that pharmaceutical solutions have become the default answer instead of addressing the root causes of metabolic health issues22:29 Discussion of income, access, and why processed foods are cheaper than whole foods nutrition is a structural public health failure30:37 Practical tips for affordable healthy eating, including seasonal eating and shopping at ethnic grocery stores for better quality produce34:39 The GLP-1 conversation begins in earnest, with Jenn explaining why she calls them our generation's statin drug37:02 A deep dive into statin drug statistics, heart disease rates, and why more prescriptions have not produced better cardiovascular health outcomes41:14 Jenn outlines her predictions, including rising osteoporosis risk, bone density loss, and increased colorectal cancer risk tied to low fiber intake44:31 The role of fat cell memory, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, and why GLP-1 medications without lifestyle medicine will not produce lasting changeKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Senobi breathing, a Japanese breathing technique that headlines are claiming can help you lose weight. The buzz is based on a 2010 study from Japan that found some pretty compelling hormonal and body-composition changes in participants who practiced this simple one-minute exercise three times a day. Could a few deep breaths in a specific posture really shift your metabolism, activate your nervous system, and burn body fat? Jenn digs into the actual study, breaks down what Senobi breathing is, why it might work, and what the science does and does not actually tell us. She sees the intrigue, but does she buy it?

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this research-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a gold-standard meta-analysis comparing the most popular intermittent fasting protocols head-to-head — time-restricted eating, alternate day fasting, and the 5:2 method — against traditional calorie restriction to see which approach actually moves the needle on blood sugar and insulin resistance. The hosts cut through the complexity to deliver a clear takeaway: time-restricted eating consistently wins for improving fasting glucose and A1C, while alternate day fasting is the most powerful tool for directly lowering insulin resistance and fasting insulin levels — the upstream markers that determine whether your body is stuck in fat-storing mode or freed up to burn. They also tackle the real-world gaps the research can't capture — the simplicity, food noise reduction, and decision fatigue relief that make fasting dramatically easier to sustain long-term compared to the slow grind of calorie counting. Listeners will come away knowing exactly how to match the right fasting tool to their current situation, whether the goal is better lab numbers, breaking through stubborn weight loss resistance, or building a flexible lifestyle that doesn't require restarting every Monday. The episode closes with a straightforward reminder that consistency in a foundational fasting window will always outperform an aggressive protocol done halfway — and that fasting wins not by being perfect on paper, but by being livable in real life. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

Hydrogen water—breakthrough or scam? Osteoporosis fixes; Nattokinase for cardiovascular prevention; Why vitamin D helps a subset of diabetics; When oral vitamin D doesn't work, sublingual D may normalize blood levels; Vitamin D found beneficial for colitis; Why fructose stokes food cravings; Flawed fluoridation study claims no IQ harms to kids.

Digestive enzymes for pancreatic insufficiency; Space exploration yields new treatments for resistant bacterial infections; Alternatives to prednisone for autoimmune hearing loss; Casey Means bows out of Surgeon General nomination—next up, Nicole Saphier; Multivitamins found to slow biological aging.

In this deep-dive follow-up episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling flip the metabolic conversation from insulin resistance to insulin sensitivity — explaining what it actually means for your cells to respond efficiently to insulin and why improving that response is the real key to lasting fat loss, stable energy, and long-term health. The hosts break down the four main drivers that quietly erode insulin sensitivity over time — excess visceral fat, poor food choices, chronic stress and sleep deprivation, and sedentary living — and why understanding each one helps listeners stop blaming willpower and start pulling the right levers. They walk through a practical framework for rebuilding insulin sensitivity, covering movement, a protein-forward low-carb nutrition approach, healthy fats and fiber, stress management, and sleep protection — with fasting anchoring the entire strategy as the single most powerful tool for giving the body a break from constant glucose and insulin demands. Listeners will come away with a clear understanding of why early eating windows consistently outperform late-night dinner schedules, and how the compounding effect of small daily choices either accelerates or undermines metabolic flexibility over time. The episode closes with a direct challenge: identify your personal weakest metabolic link from today's conversation and take one concrete action on it today — not tomorrow — because that next right decision is always just one choice away. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠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.

He explores how to build and interpret a meaningful family health history, how individual risk tolerance influences decisions around testing and treatment, and why heart disease remains poorly prevented despite available tools. He also examines whether it's possible to carry excess body fat while remaining metabolically healthy, outlines the minimum effective dose for strength training for those with limited time, and discusses the habits and interventions most likely to reduce dementia risk. Additional topics include what evidence would need to emerge for him to reconsider his current stance on NAD-boosting supplements, and when hydration and electrolyte strategies are truly beneficial versus unnecessary.
