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

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

Send us a textHow nutrition and medications impact mitochondrial health.Wide release date: October 1, 2025.Episode Summary: Dr. Chris Masterjohn talks about the intricate relationships between nutrition, prescription drugs, and mitochondrial health, discussing how molecules like acetaminophen and SSRIs affect the body beyond their intended purposes, particularly impacting inflammation and energy metabolism. The discussion gets into the broader implications of serotonin outside the brain, the side effects of commonly used medications, and the importance of personalized nutritional strategies to optimize mitochondrial function.About the guest: Chris Masterjohn, PhD holds a doctorate in nutritional sciences and is a co-founder of Mitome, a company focused on mitochondrial testing to optimize cellular energy production.Discussion Points:Acetaminophen & Inflammation: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may contribute to chronic low-grade inflammation by blocking both the initiation and resolution of inflammation, potentially linked to health issues like autism when used during pregnancy.Serotonin's Role Beyond the Brain: Approximately 95% of serotonin is found in the gut, regulating motility, with SSRIs causing side effects like nausea due to increased extracellular serotonin.SSRIs & Mitochondrial Function: SSRIs disrupt serotonin uptake into cells, reducing mitochondrial melatonin production, which impairs the body's ability to handle hypoxic stress and produce ATP efficiently.Statins & Mitochondrial Impact: Statins, used to lower cholesterol, inhibit the mevalonate pathway, affecting not just cholesterol but also CoQ10 and vitamin K2, crucial for mitochondrial function, potentially leading to side effects like myopathy.Mitochondrial Testing with Mitome: Masterjohn's company, Mitome, uses cheek swab tests to measure mitochondrial respiratory chain activity, providing personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations to optimize cellular energy production.Nutrition & Mental Health: Masterjohn shares his personal experience of severe mental health issues on a vegan diet, which improved dramatically with a nutrient-dense diet rich in organ meats, highlighting individual nutritional needs.Energy Metabolism's Universal Role: Mitochondrial ATP production governs everything from daily energy levels to long-term health, with personalized testing helping identify and address specific bottlenecks.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Welcome back, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today, we are uncovering the latest news and updates on Ozempic, from its medical applications to its influence on our daily lives and overall health.There is an exciting development in the world of weight loss medication: a pill form of Ozempic, known by its generic name semaglutide. According to The New England Journal of Medicine, those who took the daily semaglutide pill lost nearly fourteen percent of their body weight over sixty-four weeks, compared to just two percent for those who took a placebo. This makes oral semaglutide a potential game changer for those who prefer pills over injections, especially since the pill shows a safety profile similar to the injectable form. Dr. Sean Wharton, who led the recent clinical trial, explained that this oral option could greatly expand the number of people willing to try GLP-1 treatments for obesity.Following closely behind is orforglipron, a new GLP-1 pill developed by Eli Lilly. Fox News reports that in a recent clinical trial, participants taking the highest dose of orforglipron lost an average of more than twenty-seven pounds after a year and a half. Nearly sixty percent of those participants lost ten percent of their body weight, while just under forty percent lost at least fifteen percent. What is even more hopeful, according to the study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, is that those with pre-diabetes saw a sharp improvement in blood sugar levels, suggesting broad metabolic benefits. While the results are compelling, experts note that injectables like Ozempic still deliver slightly more dramatic results, yet many patients may prefer the convenience and ease of a pill.On a different front, research from The Cleveland Clinic has revealed that genetics may influence just how well Ozempic or similar drugs work for you. According to their study, a gene known as Neurobeachin appears to help determine how much weight a person might lose with GLP-1 medications. People with a responsive version of the gene were eighty-two percent more likely to have significant weight loss, while those with a non-responsive score were actually less likely to lose weight. Dr. Daniel Rotroff from the Cleveland Clinic suggests that in the near future, doctors could combine genetic testing with lifestyle and personal factors to tailor obesity treatment, making these therapies even more effective and personalized.Let us not forget the reason why Ozempic was developed in the first place. Originally designed and approved to help manage type two diabetes, Ozempic as well as its higher-dose sibling Wegovy, are now also used for chronic weight management. Both are part of a class called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1s. These medications work by stimulating insulin production and helping the body manage appetite and digestion, leading to weight loss as a beneficial side effect. According to information from the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic is still mainly prescribed as a once-weekly injection, but with oral versions nearing approval, that could soon change.New treatments often come with questions about safety. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration, there has been increased concern about unapproved compounded versions of these GLP-1 drugs, which have been linked to hundreds of adverse event reports. This highlights the importance of using only medications that are properly prescribed and approved, as safety must always come first.Finally, there are ongoing investigations into rare but serious side effects, such as a risk of vision loss, and digestive issues like gastroparesis linked to GLP-1 drugs including Ozempic. For most people, side effects tend to be mild and include nausea and digestive discomfort, but it is crucial to talk to your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits as this new generation of weight loss options emerges.That wraps up our update on Ozempic and the evolving world of GLP-1 weight loss therapies.

When Dr. Nouran Abdelkader developed vitiligo—a disfiguring autoimmune skin condition—the UK's top dermatologist told her there was no hope and no treatment. The disease would spread everywhere, he said. She'd have to live with it forever.What happened next challenges everything we think we know about autoimmune disease, nutrition, and healing.This emergency medicine doctor didn't just heal her vitiligo. She also resolved her lifelong asthma, eczema, chronic hives, ADHD symptoms, depression, panic attacks, and brain fog. Her IQ jumped from 110 to 137. Her diabetic sister reduced insulin from 70 units to 7 units daily.The solution? She eliminated everything except meat, salt, and water.Dr. Abdelkader shares her controversial journey from believing every medical guideline to questioning the entire system. She explains why she now feels guilty prescribing standard treatments, how she risks her medical license by sharing her experience, and why she believes most medical research serves profit over patients.This isn't just another diet success story. It's a practicing physician's firsthand account of how the medical establishment fails patients with chronic disease—and what actually works when conventional medicine doesn't.Her transformation raises uncomfortable questions: If meat heals while fruits and vegetables inflame, what else have we gotten wrong? Why can't doctors share successful treatments that contradict guidelines? And how many people are suffering needlessly because the system won't acknowledge inconvenient truths?BIG IDEA"We are made of meat, water, salt and trace elements—so if you eat what you are made of, you'll be fine, but if you eat something we're not made of, like vegetables or sugar, problems arise."Nouran Abdelkader - Contact InfoLinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nouran-el-dali-528a26b8Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

As we move from summer to fall, and temperatures at night start to cool, subtle changes begin to occur in our horses. Shorter days trigger powerful hormonal shifts, often before we even notice. Those shifts play an essential role in the health of our horses- especially those with metabolic conditions.Hormone Shifts and MetabolismSeasonal hormone shifts influence how horses process sugar, maintain muscle, and manage inflammation. In fall, ACTH levels naturally rise, increasing cortisol to drive fat storage and coat growth in preparation for winter. When those hormones remain elevated for too long, however, problems like delayed shedding, thick coats, sweating, muscle loss, inflammation, and a higher risk of laminitis may emerge.Fall as a High-Risk SeasonFar more horses tend to experience metabolic flare-ups in the fall as it brings a dangerous mix of hormonal shifts, fat storage, and higher pasture sugar levels, all of which raise the risk for equine metabolic syndrome and PPID. As horses naturally conserve energy and build fat reserves before winter, insulin resistance also tends to worsen.Testing and DiagnosisA single test showing high ACTH in fall is not enough to diagnose PPID. As ACTH naturally rises seasonally, it is essential to use multiple test results, and get a complete health profile before deciding on lifelong medication. Insulin, Inflammation, and WeightInsulin is fundamentally a fat-storage hormone. If it is high, horses cannot lose weight. Chronic inflammation from laminitis or hoof pathologies drives insulin even higher, and elevated cortisol keeps blood sugar high, locking horses into a state of fat storage. That combination often causes gain weight and soreness in the fall.Diet and Forage ManagementCareful forage management is the foundation of supporting metabolic horses. Prioritize low-sugar hay and limit access to rich pasture, especially during high-risk seasons, like fall. Slow feeders, soaking hay, and controlled turnout can all help regulate sugar intake. Consistency in diet not only stabilizes insulin and energy levels but also reduces the risk of flare-ups.Lifestyle and StressStress management is as important as diet. Horses need freedom to move, regular forage, and companionship to regulate their cortisol levels and maintain metabolic balance. Stalled or isolated horses, or horses with long gaps between feedings suffer higher stress levels, which compounds hormone problems, and no supplement can overcome the damage caused by chronic stress and inappropriate living conditions.Long-Term ManagementConsistency is essential. Progress may seem slow at times, but steady attention to low-sugar forage, regular exercise, and stress reduction leads to lasting improvements. Expect seasonal setbacks, but they will be temporary. Over time, consistent care helps horses rebuild their health and resilience.Hormonal Considerations in MaresMares can be susceptible to seasonal hormonal shifts. Changes in daylight and hormone levels often affect their cycles, behavior, and comfort. For mares with metabolic issues, those fluctuations may add another layer of stress, making careful monitoring and consistent management even more essential.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass:

We live in a culture obsessed with treating symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, brain fog, poor sleep, as if each were an isolated problem. But what if these struggles aren't the problem at all? What if they're just the flashing check engine lights on the dashboard of your body, pointing to a deeper issue that's been hiding in plain sight: Metabolic Disease. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick pulls back the curtain on why nearly every chronic health crisis in America today — from obesity and Type 2 diabetes to heart disease, hypertension, and even dementia — can be traced back to metabolic dysfunction. He explains how the healthcare industry profits from keeping us stuck in a never-ending cycle of pills, injections, and quick fixes, rather than empowering us to address the root cause upstream. You'll also learn about Metabolic Synchronization — a practical, upstream approach that helps realign the body and mind through five key foundations: Proper diet & nutrition Proper movement & muscle development Proper sleep Proper education & mental detox Proper community & support This episode is a wake-up call: the lights are flashing, and the choice is yours. Will you keep patching symptoms downstream, or will you finally pop the hood and reclaim control of your health, your mind, and your future?

Sleep is one of the first things to shift in midlife—and it's often overlooked in women's health. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maria Paula Guzman, a triple board-certified physician in Sleep Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Internal Medicine, and founder of DreamLife Medicine & Wellness, to explore how perimenopause impacts women's sleep and overall health.Dr. Guzman shares her expertise on the mind-body connection, why hormonal changes in midlife disrupt sleep, and what women can do to reclaim restorative rest. Together, we dive into the links between sleep, weight, and long-term health, and highlight the importance of compassionate, whole-person care.We discuss:Why women's sleep health is uniquely impacted during perimenopause and menopauseThe physiology of sleep disruption and hormonal changes in midlifeInsomnia prevalence and why CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) is preferred over medicationsThe underdiagnosis of sleep apnea in women—and why it mattersAdvances in sleep testing, including more accessible at-home optionsNew treatments on the horizon, including Zepbound and an oral medication by Apnimed (pending FDA approval)The powerful connection between sleep and weight health✨ If you've been struggling with sleep during perimenopause—or wondering how better rest could transform your health—this episode is for you.

Dr. Ravi Kamepalli made a startling realization that changed everything: bacteria aren't the enemy. As both an infectious disease specialist and wound care physician, he witnessed firsthand how traditional medicine's war on microbes was failing patients catastrophically. In this profound conversation, he unveils his revolutionary "disease triangles" framework that connects our immune system, lipid metabolism, and microbiome in ways that transform how we understand healing.The statistics he shares will shock you: diabetic foot amputations have a higher five-year mortality rate than breast cancer. While diabetes costs healthcare systems $237 billion annually compared to cancer's $80 billion, we're attacking symptoms instead of root causes. Dr. Kamepalli explains his concept of "energy toxicity" - how excess stored energy triggers inflammatory cascades that turn our own immune systems against us.Through his personal journey of losing 50 pounds and dramatically reducing his LP(a) levels, he demonstrates that supposedly "genetic" markers are actually nutritionally modifiable. His approach integrates metabolic interventions with wound care, using continuous glucose monitoring, food logging, and remote patient tracking to address the underlying metabolic dysfunction that prevents healing.This isn't just about wound care - it's about reimagining medicine itself. Dr. Kamepalli advocates for moving beyond "mass medicine mindset" toward personalized, n-of-one healthcare that empowers patients with tools, tracking, and understanding rather than simply prescribing interventions. His vision extends from revolutionizing American healthcare to building sustainable systems in rural India.BIG IDEA"We cannot kill bacteria and keep the humans alive - we need to learn how to survive together, and that survival depends on fixing our metabolic dysfunction, not declaring war on microbes."Dr. Ravi Kamepalli Contact InfoWebsite: https://nobadbugs.com/Social Media: @WoundPhysicianWebsite: ColigoMed.comSociety for Metabolic Health Practitioners SMHP.orgSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Personal trainer and counseling psychology expert Alli Covington exposes the overlooked connection between mental health and metabolic dysfunction that's keeping millions trapped in cycles of weight gain and chronic disease. After watching her father follow every doctor's recommendation only to develop GERD, high cholesterol, diabetes, and die young despite compliance, Alli discovered the missing piece most fitness professionals ignore.In this candid conversation, she breaks down her revolutionary approach that combines biochemistry knowledge with psychological intervention. Learn why thoughts literally trigger hormonal cascades that can sabotage metabolism, how anxiety creates cortisol storms at the cellular level, and why addressing trauma while exercising accelerates healing beyond traditional therapy.Alli shares real client transformations, including her husband's 40-pound weight loss and a 60-year-old woman who reached her high school weight for the first time in decades by addressing deep-rooted anxiety. She also reveals why the bodybuilding community understood nutrition decades before medical professionals caught up, and how fixing gut health can resolve everything from ADHD symptoms to mood disorders.Whether you're struggling with stubborn weight, mysterious digestive issues, or feel trapped by food addiction patterns, this interview provides a fresh framework for understanding how your mental state directly impacts your physical health.BIG IDEAIf somebody's gained more than 20 pounds since their ideal weight, it wasn't on accident - there's some mental stuff going on, and we're using food to cope with some kind of pain.Alli Covington Contact InfoTwitter: @allicovingtonInstagram: @allicovingtonFacebook: @allicovingtonWebsite: https://bodbyalli.comLinkedIn: @allicovingtonSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
