Podcasts about metabolic health

What is water-based cooking and how can it aid your longevity? On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes, sits down with Nutrition Scientist and Registered Dietician, Dr. Michelle Davenport. Dr. Michelle Davenport specializes in improving metabolic health through her science-proven water-based cooking method. Her research studies the impact of Advance Glycation End Products, or AGEs, which are molecules formed when sugars non-enzymatically bind to proteins or lipids. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Davenport dive into the impact of AGEs on aging, chronic illness, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, and how water-based cooking might just be the key to slowing these effects.(00:35) Dr. Michelle Davenport's Water-Based Cooking(03:05) Metabolic Health And Food Culture in The United States(05:39) What is Water-Based Cooking?(06:49) Using Water-based Cooking As A Dietary Strategy(10:06) Dr. Davenport's Favorite Marinade To Try This Summer(10:47) What are AGEs and How Do They Accelerate Aging?(14:09) Benefits of Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatory Foods(16:33) Why Are Life Expectancies Decreasing In America?: Reason #1 Processed Food(19:24) Reason #2: Lacking Culture Around Food in The US(21:38) Reason #3: We Need To Understand The Basics(29:25) Michelle's Wake Up Call with Nutrition(33:04): What Are The Biomarkers For Damage Caused By AGEs?(35:08): AGEs: The Effects On Neurodegenerative Disease(38:58) What Can You Start Doing Today To Reduce AGEs?(42:12) Water-Quality in Water-Based Cooking(44:20) Dr. Davenport's Go To MealsFollow Dr. Michelle Davenport:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInSupport the showFollow WHOOP: www.whoop.com Trial WHOOP for Free Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

It’s time for a rebroadcast of a wonderful interview with my old friend, Dr. Casey Means, where she talked about the launch of her book, Good Energy. It has been a year since we talked on the eve of her book launch, which was just about to go number one and become a New York Times bestseller, and in other news, Dr. Casey has just been appointed to become the Surgeon General of the United States of America. Amazing news, a bit controversial these days since everything in politics is controversial, but long time listeners know that I steer completely clear of politics on this show, however I did want to give a plug for Dr. Casey and encourage you to listen to this interview if you didn't hear it the first time around, as she now rises to the highest position in America for doctors. In this episode, you will learn all about Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health, which she wrote with her brother, Calley Means, and hear her talk about the broken medical industrial complex—a subject that is of deep significance for her since (as she talked about in her first appearance on the show) she used to be a dutiful doctor, a highly trained throat surgeon who was just trying to do her best, until she realized how dysfunctional the whole system was. She had a realization: no one was really getting better. They were, however, coming in for more surgery, and this sparked her decision to pursue a career in the alternative health world instead, an issue that only became more important and personal to her after she experienced the deep pain and frustration of watching her mother die of a preventable disease. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to learn about all the nuances of our profit-driven medical system, the science and details of how mitochondrial function essentially represents the essence of our health, why mitochondrial dysfunction represents the whole cause of all disease, the scary statistic about Americans and metabolic syndrome risk factors that shocked me, and more! Casey Means, MD, Surgeon General of the United States of America, is a Stanford-trained physician, the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools that can inform smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices. Check out her website and visit CaseyMeans.com/goodenergy to read her best-selling book, Good Energy. TIMESTAMPS: Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as metabolically unhealthy. [03:08] It's a totally unstainable path that we are on as a country. [09:04] After becoming a head and neck surgeon, Dr. Means realized that she was not improving people's health. She wanted to focus on prevention. [12:00] Cancer is a metabolic dysfunction. We are focusing on the wrong problem. [14:41] The health care industry is fast growing and it makes more money when you are sick than when you are well. [20:02] Everything in moderation is a very bad way to look at diet. [29:48] There is such a thing as bad food. [35:19] You need to understand your own body and read the signals your body sends to you. [36:23] We have normalized not feeling well, that we don't notice it. [41:55] When we eat processed foods, they are not benign. It's more than just calories. [46:53] The ingredients in the processed foods trigger your desire to overeat. The bigger the glucose spike, the bigger the crash [53:54] High fructose corn syrup is in so many foods and is very problematic. [58:39] There are five foods that you want to include to support your mitochondrial function. [01:01:36] In a few months, if you follow those suggestions, your markers on your blood tests will show a huge difference if you were pre-diabetic. [01:09:24] Why isn't the medical system focused more on prevention? [01:15:03] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

Are you one of the millions of Americans who eat the Standard American Diet? Even if you're not, you're likely at risk of developing pre-diabeties, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. But, DON'T panic, because today's episode is packed with simple steps to help you take control of your blood sugar and lower your risk of diabetes and chronic disease.On this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, host Jenn Trepeck tackles the hard truth: many people are already pre-diabetic and don't even know it. From hidden insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, Jenn breaks down how the American diet and lifestyle are fueling a national health crisis. You'll learn how poor sleep, stress, a lack of fiber, and nutrient-depleted foods undermine your metabolic health—and what you can do today to take control and manage your risks. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Why is the Standard American diet the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes, and what is insulin resistance(04:18) Metabolic health connects to every system, and the ultra-processed food dilemma(09:48) Why supplements are important(14:30) Everyone is pre-diabetic, unless. Nutrition: protein, fiber, quality fat(21:31) America's fiber problem and the role of the microbiome(26:55) Our society is sedentary(30:35) The impact stress and loneliness can have on your health(34:56) Are you sleep deprived(37:30) Let's talk about the environment and toxins(42:07) If you don't like it, don't eat it and focus on preventionKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people eating the Standard American Diet are already pre-diabetic due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods, even if their labs don't reflect it yet. Modern farming, soil depletion, and long-distance transport have stripped our food of nutrients, making quality sourcing and supplementation essential.Staying ahead of metabolic disease means taking daily action—moving your body, managing stress, eating well, sleeping, and staying connected.  Even a short walk after a meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Daily activity improves energy and focus, builds muscle, enhances insulin sensitivity, and monitors glucose levels.Just because a drink is labeled “prebiotic” doesn't mean it replaces real vegetables. Whole fruits and vegetables provide a variety of fibers that support gut health more effectively than most supplements or processed drinks. You can't supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Supplements are only as good as their quality. Many synthetic options don't break down or absorb adequately, making them useless. Food first, then smart supplementation.Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and fat storage. The damage builds over time because most people don't recognize their stress. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing diet and exercise.QUOTES:         (08:56) “Our food supply is ripening while in transit, not connected to the vine where nutrients come from.” - Jenn Trepeck(18:54) “Variety is your friend. Eat the rainbow.” - Jenn Trepeck(23:30) “I'm a big fan of supplements, but you cannot supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Food first, then mart supplementation.” - Jenn Trepeck(39:36) “Next time you need to replace a mattress or a pillow. Let's make sure it's a material that isn't going to off-gas toxins.” - Jenn Trepeck"It comes down to default vs design because the way our world is set-up around us, the default would easily be the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes. That's why we're here...unless you do this now." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramMovember: Men's HealthReal People, Real Results: Shannon Nutrition Nugget: Ultra-Processed FoodGMO, Organic, and Local, Oh My!How to Cheat8 Domains of HealthAmerica's Fiber ProblemQ & A: SupplementsTick…Tick…BOOM

The main idea is that a carnivore diet can resolve chronic inflammation and health issues that conventional approaches like calorie restriction cannot, as demonstrated by JT's personal experience and experiments.KISMETJT discovered that while on a carnivore diet, he could consume up to 4,500 calories daily without gaining weight, contradicting conventional weight management theories that focus primarily on calorie counts rather than food quality.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Carnivore JT, a former sports medicine professional and fitness trainer who once firmly believed that weight management was simply about "calories in, calories out." JT shares how his health declined in his thirties despite following conventional dietary advice, then dramatically improved after adopting a carnivore diet. His personal transformation included the elimination of lifelong eczema, psoriasis, acne, and joint pain from previous sports injuries.JT discusses his self-experiments comparing carnivore eating with standard American diet consumption, finding he could eat far more calories on carnivore without weight gain. He addresses how scientific research is often influenced by industry funding, making it difficult for consumers to find unbiased information. The main idea that emerges is that food quality matters more than calorie counting, and a meat-based diet can resolve chronic inflammation issues that conventional approaches cannot address.NOTABLE QUOTE"I had aches and pains since I was in my twenties... And since going carnivore, I feel better than when I was 21. I don't hurt when I get out of bed in the morning, which is pretty remarkable given what I have put my body through over the years."Carnivore JT Contact InfoWebsite: https://theinnercarnivore.com/X: carnivore_jtInstagram: carnivore_jtYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carnivorejt/featuredSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, we're talking about the concept of resistance — a natural, human response to discomfort, fear, and change. Resistance can show up in many forms, whether you're facing a difficult decision, trying to adopt new habits, or navigating life after cancer treatment. But here's the good news: resistance isn't something to fight. It's a powerful signal that you're on the verge of growth. Let's talk about: -Why does resistance come up -How can it affect your ability to move forward -How to work with resistance instead of against it I'll give you practical steps to help you embrace resistance as a natural part of the healing journey and turn it into an opportunity for personal growth. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Understanding Resistance: Why resistance is a natural and protective mechanism our minds use to avoid discomfort and uncertainty. The Science Behind Resistance: Discover how theories like cognitive dissonance and the Fogg Behavior Model explain why we resist change and how to break free from it. How Resistance Shows Up: Explore the subtle ways we resist without even realizing it, like procrastination, perfectionism, and busyness. Practical Steps to Overcome Resistance: Learn actionable strategies to embrace resistance, including acknowledging it, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using self-compassion. Self-Determination Theory: Find out how to tap into your autonomy and regain control to make healthier decisions that align with your goals and values. Why Resistance is Part of the Healing Journey: Learn how to reframe resistance as a sign of growth, especially after cancer treatment or any major life change. Key Takeaways: Resistance isn't your enemy. It's a natural response to fear and discomfort that can guide you to a better, more resilient version of yourself. Embrace small, manageable steps to break through resistance and make progress, even when it feels challenging. Recognizing subtle forms of resistance, like busyness and perfectionism, can help you break free from inaction.

The primary idea is that changing your nutrition can heal both physical and mental health issues by removing interferences that block the body's natural ability to heal itself.KISMETWhile many people associate obesity with visible weight gain, Ben shares that although he was clinically obese at 34% body fat, most people wouldn't have recognized him as such due to his height and body type—suggesting that "hidden obesity" may be more common than we realize.EPISODE SUMMARYBen Azadi shares his journey from being obese, depressed, and suicidal to achieving optimal health by changing his nutrition and mindset. He explains how his severe depression lifted as a side effect of improving his physical health. Ben discusses the concept that our bodies have an innate ability to heal if we remove interferences like high insulin levels, seed oils, and environmental toxins. He emphasizes that changing your self-image is crucial for sustainable health improvements, as "you will never outperform your self-image." Ben reveals how insulin resistance develops 6-14 years before blood sugar problems appear, making fasting insulin testing critical for early detection. He also discusses how restaurants are beginning to return to cooking with natural fats instead of seed oils. The conversation highlights how symptoms are simply the body's "check engine light" signaling something needs attention, rather than problems requiring medication to suppress.NOTABLE QUOTE"God built my body and all of our bodies to heal itself.

The healthcare system is complex and challenging to navigate, especially for seniors and their caregivers, but preparation and knowledge can help you maintain control, advocate effectively, and achieve better outcomes during healthcare transitions.KISMETWhile most assume senior care facilities and nursing homes operate based on modern nutritional science, many still follow outdated dietary guidelines based on the food pyramid, which may negatively impact metabolic health when seniors need more protein and healthy fats for optimal recovery and function.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, master's prepared nurse Cheryl Field shares insights from her 36 years of experience in senior care. She discusses how understanding the healthcare system can help aging adults maintain control during transitions like emergency room visits and hospital stays. Field explains the critical differences between traditional Medicare and managed care options that seniors must navigate when turning 65.

Jill and Chris interview Dr. Paul Kolodzik, who uses the technology of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in his metabolic health practice. With the use of CGMs, he helps his patients achieve weight loss and improved health. He has also integrated the prudent use of the new weight loss medications into his practice. His new book: The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, presents a comprehensive program for metabolic health success using CGMs and limited use of weight loss medications. Dr. Kolodzik graduated from the University of Notre Dame and completed medical school and residency at Wright State University where he served as chief resident. He is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. He is board-certified by both the American Board of Preventive Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Physicians. In a thirty-year emergency room career, he has cared for many patients in crises and has witnessed firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and the medical system overall, which prioritizes medications and surgery over diet and lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse disease.  For more information and links mentioned in this episode, please visit our website at BecomingElli.com

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer™, we're talking about a common and little-talked-about side effect of breast cancer treatment and day-to-day living: digestive changes. If you've experienced bloating, reflux, fatigue, or that uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating, this episode is for you. You'll learn why hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) is often misdiagnosed as high stomach acid, how breast cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy contribute to poor digestion, and why treating symptoms with acid-blocking medications might be doing more harm than good. Most importantly, we'll cover simple, nurturing steps — like mindful eating habits and nutrient support — to help you feel better, absorb more nutrients, and reconnect with your body's healing capacity.

Seyfried is a distinguished American biologist and professor at Boston College, renowned for his pioneering work in cancer metabolism. With a Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, and postdoctoral training in neurochemistry at Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Seyfried has dedicated his career to exploring the metabolic underpinnings of cancer and other neurological diseases. Dr. Seyfried is best known for his groundbreaking book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (2012), where he presents compelling evidence that cancer is primarily a mitochondrial metabolic disorder rather than a genetic one. This perspective builds upon the early 20th-century findings of Otto Warburg, who observed that cancer cells rely heavily on fermentation for energy production, even in the presence of oxygen—a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. Dr. Seyfried's research suggests that targeting cancer's metabolic dependencies, such as glucose and glutamine, through dietary interventions like the ketogenic diet, could offer non-toxic therapeutic strategies. We explore: How cancer cells fuel themselves differently from healthy cells The connection between sugar, ultra-processed foods (UPFs), and cancer growth The Warburg Effect and the roles of glucose and glutamine in tumor development Whether refined sugar is carcinogenic like tobacco Why Dr. Seyfried believes ketogenic diets and caloric restriction can be powerful cancer therapies How his views align with metabolic psychiatry (Dr. Chris Palmer's Brain Energy) The controversial yet promising approach of "press-pulse" therapy The potential for preventing cancer through dietary change Follow: https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html https://tomseyfried.com The content of our show is educational only.

This week, I sat down with Joe Hoye, a fitness and weight loss expert who takes a unique approach to nutrition and fitness — specifically for women who are tired of traditional dieting and want a sustainable solution to meet their health goals. Unlike most coaches, Joe encourages women to eat more and exercise less to achieve long-term weight loss and metabolic health. His Diet Detox program has helped over a thousand women ditch restrictive diets, rebuild their metabolism, and reshape their lives. Through our conversation, we discuss the flawed mindset behind traditional dieting, the importance of identifying and consuming the right amount of calories (hint: it's not anywhere close to 1200!), and how to effectively rebuild metabolism after years of restrictive eating. Joe also touches on why he advocates for measuring food intake initially, but focuses on sustainable, long-term habits afterward. We dive deep into the psychological aspects of weight loss, like how mindset and identity shifts are often necessary for achieving lasting change. Joe shares his unique tactics, such as setting a purpose tied to one's most important relationships and adopting behaviors of the ideal future self today. We also discuss the significance of understanding body cues and adopting a healthy relationship with food that doesn't involve tracking everything we eat. If you're tired of traditional dieting that provides short-term results, please join us for this deep-dive discussion on how to actually achieve healthy, long-term, sustainable weight loss — without burning yourself out.

“Low” Carbohydrate Diets and Metabolic Health: What Does the Research Show?   Commercial support has been provided by Simply Good Foods. Dr. Jim Painter was sponsored by an unrestricted grant from Simply Good Foods to speak on the podcast. No products or brands are discussed or promoted. Lower carbohydrate, higher protein and higher fat dietary patterns have seen a resurgence in interest in both the research community and in popular culture in the past decade. This has been accompanied by a clearer understanding of who may benefit from dietary patterns that reduce carbohydrate and increase other macronutrients and the ways in which these approaches change human metabolism to facilitate weight loss and improve glycemic control. While often regarded as fad diets, there is a significant amount of clinical evidence that can be used to evaluate the potential upsides and downsides of these types of dietary approaches. This research can be leveraged to understand what dietary factors should be considered when trying to optimize lower carbohydrate diets and how other macronutrients need to be shifted in order to provide sufficient nutrition. It should be noted that there is a large body of evidence that can be used to help answer many of the outstanding questions related to carbohydrate reduction or restriction. Furthermore, this large body of clinical research has resulted in many high-quality meta-analyses that help give a clearer picture of the utility of such alternative dietary patterns, especially regarding improving glycemic control in those with type 2 diabetes. Tune into this episode with Dr. Jim Painter to learn about: ●       Research studies on low/lower carbohydrate diets and metabolic health ●       Research related to diabetes, prediabetes, inflammation ●       How “low carbohydrate” is defined in various research studies ●       Ketogenic diet research ●       Higher protein and fat intake related to lower carbohydrate diets ●       Popularity of higher protein diets ●       How the quality of carbohydrates, protein and fat may impact health ●       Intermittent fasting research ●       Insights on ketosis, autophagy ●       diabetes remission ●       the “best” diet(s) for diabetes ●       2025 Diabetes Standards of Care ●       If the Mediterranean diet can be considered low carb ●       Potential health benefits with or without weight loss ●       resources for health professionals and the public  Full shownotes, transcript and resources: https://soundbitesrd.com/286

In today's episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Carrie Jones sits down with Ben Azadi to discuss metabolic flexibility, fat-burning versus sugar-burning states, and why traditional calorie-focused approaches to weight loss often fail. You'll hear them discuss: - Why 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy - The difference between sugar burners and fat burners - How obesogens and toxins contribute to weight loss resistance - The role of fasting insulin and blood glucose in evaluating metabolic health - Why “calories in, calories out” is overly simplistic - How fasting, ketosis, and metabolic flexibility help restore health - Practical steps to shift from sugar-burning to fat-burning in 7 days - The power of gratitude and mindset in sustainable health change Ben Azadi is the founder of Keto Kamp, author of the upcoming book Metabolic Freedom, and a leading voice in the fasting and keto space. After transforming his own health and weight, Ben has gone on to educate thousands globally on how to unlock fat-burning metabolism, address root causes of metabolic disease, and optimize wellness through diet, mindset, and functional practices. His work centers on empowering individuals to achieve what he calls “metabolic freedom”—the ability to thrive using fat, not sugar, as fuel.
