What does it mean to be free? It's a question that's puzzled philosophers for millennia. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? If you've ever felt hangry, crashed after a meal, or dealt with type 2 diabetes, you've experienced the opposite — metabolic imprisonment.My guest today, Ben Azadi, knows this firsthand. In 2008, Ben was obese and unhealthy, struggling to find answers. After shedding 80 pounds and turning his health around, he dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, he's a functional health expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand empowering people to use ancient healing tools like fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle. His new book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat, lays out the blueprint to reclaim your health.In this episode, we dive into:What metabolism really is — and why “slow” or “fast” metabolism may be a mythA groundbreaking study that disproves the idea that metabolism slows with ageWhy fasting insulin is a better marker of health than weight or glucose aloneThe surprising power of “Vitamin G” — gratitude — on your metabolic functionBen's top daily habits and biohacks to supercharge your metabolismBen's approach is all about education over medication — empowering you to take control, rather than outsourcing your health. Ben has also made a personal impact on a member of my family.Links:

Could the invisible waves around us be damaging our children's brains, hormones, and fertility? In this critical episode, Shana Hussin, RDN, interviews Arthur de Calange, founder of HAVN (Havenware), about the powerful yet often overlooked effects of EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure on human health. Arthur breaks down what EMFs really are, how they affect our biology—especially in children and reproductive health—and why 5G presents new concerns. They also explore how silver-lined clothing can serve as a powerful shield, and how you can take simple, meaningful steps to protect your home and family. If you're struggling with fatigue, hormonal imbalance, fertility challenges, or raising children in a tech-heavy world—this episode is for you. Links Mentioned:

In this week's Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly pull glycolysis out of the rote-memorization zone and rebuild it as a story you can see, explain—and defend—on test day. Starting with the big-picture difference between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, they zoom into the 10 classic steps, spotlight why hexokinase and especially PFK-1 are the pathway's “no-turning-back” moments, and finish with the hormonal signals that flip glycolysis on or off in real life. Along the way they debunk lactic-acid myths, link fasting physiology to MCAT passages, and hand you regulation mnemonics that actually stick.Key takeaways at a glance- Net yield, location & oxygen: Cytoplasmic pathway that nets 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate—no O₂ required.- Energy investment vs. payoff: Why you spend 2 ATP up front and gain 4 later (+2 net).- Regulation checkpoints: Steps 1, 3 & 10 are irreversible; PFK-1 is the commitment step; ATP inhibits, ADP/AMP activate.- Hormonal control: Insulin (via PFK-2) ramps glycolysis up; glucagon turns it down—crucial in fed vs. fasting states.- Clinical & exam links: Cori cycle, muscle soreness myth, and how enzymes like hexokinase signal MCAT question writers.Next episode: PDH complex, electron-transport chain, and oxidative phosphorylation—subscribe so you're ready for the hand-off from glycolysis to ATP powerhouse.Want to learn more?

If your body feels like it's stuck in stress mode no matter how “healthy” you try to be, your mindset might be the missing piece.  In this episode, we're breaking down four common mental blocks that keep your hormones out of balance… and simple mindset shifts that can help you finally feel more at home in your body. We'll talk about how perfectionist thinking can actually keep your nervous system on edge and how focusing on small daily habits (à la James Clear's 1-degree plane shift) can create long-term change without burnout.Next up: guilt and shame. I'll share the stonecutter analogy that helps you swap shame for pride and consistency.We'll also explore how body frustration can morph into powerful gratitude when you zoom out including a powerful reframe I picked up from Alex Hormozi.And if you've ever felt like a single slip-up ruins your progress, you'll love the final mindset swap: learning to see those moments as tune-ups, not setbacks. Something I've had to lean into recently myself. These mindset upgrades aren't just motivational fluff. They lower stress, regulate your nervous system, and support better hormone balance over time.Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, these small mental shifts can make a big physical difference! Time Stamps: (1:22) Excited For Festive Food(3:10) Stress Management and Healing Hormones(5:16) Instant Gratification(6:45) #1: Perfectionistic Tendencies(10:52) #2: Guilt and Shame(15:32) #3: Feeling Stress About Your Body(21:47) #4: Seeing Slip-Ups As Setbacks---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Does alcohol really make that big a difference when it comes to fat loss after 40?In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on how alcohol impacts your hormones, metabolism, muscle growth, sleep quality, and belly fat. Especially for women in perimenopause and menopause, your body doesn't process alcohol the same way it used to—and even “moderate” drinking could be the invisible roadblock between you and your goals.Whether you're a social sipper or someone who loves that end-of-day glass to unwind, this episode will give you the science, the strategies, and a whole new perspective on alcohol and your body.You'll learn:

Ever wondered why fat piles up in specific spots—like your belly, hips, or arms? It's not just about calories! In this episode of Fat Maps: Decoding Your Body's Storage Secrets, I reveal how hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and insulin, plus lifestyle factors like stress and sleep, dictate where your body stores fat. From “stress belly” to “bra bulge,” I'll break down the science and share actionable tips to balance your hormones naturally. Curious about what your body's fat patterns are saying?

Kann man den Hunger einfach wegspritzen? Und was passiert eigentlich, wenn du plötzlich keinen Appetit mehr hast?Die Medien sind voll von Mythen, Halbwissen und Marketing rund um Ozempic, Wegovy und anderen der sogenannten „Abnehmspritzen“. In dieser Episode bekommst du den Überblick, den du brauchst – um Dir eine eigene Meinung zu bilden.Du erfährst:warum viele Menschen nicht zunehmen, obwohl sie mehr essen – und andere schon bei normalen Portionen zunehmen,was GLP-1-Wirkstoffe mit Spielsucht, Alkohol und impulsivem Verhalten zu tun haben,warum viele Patienten nach dem Absetzen der Spritze schneller wieder zunehmen, als sie abgenommen haben,und warum es gefährlich sein kann, unter diesen Medikamenten zwar Gewicht zu verlieren – aber dabei Muskeln zu verbrennen statt Fett.Und wenn Du ohnehin sagst: „Spritze? Kommt für mich nicht infrage“, lohnt diese Episode – weil sie Dir hilft, den Mechanismus hinter Hunger, Sättigung und Gewohnheiten besser zu verstehen. Und damit auch Deinen eigenen Körper effektiver zu steuern.____________*WERBUNG: Infos zum Werbepartner dieser Folge und allen weiteren Werbepartnern findest Du hier.____________Mehr zum Thema:Podcast: Folge 502: Ratgeber Nahrungsergänzung – mit Ernährungsmediziner Niels Schulz-RuhtenbergQuellen:Wilding, J.

Vanessa breaks down Dr. Ravussin's findings on how to preserve lean mass during weight loss, optimize protein intake, and protect your metabolism—especially if you're a woman or in midlife.

Whatsup, ya Nerdles! Are your maintenance calories frustratingly low, even though you're doing everything “right”? Maybe you're feeling like your metabolism tanked the second you hit your 40s or 50s?In this episode, we're breaking down what's really going on with your metabolism during perimenopause and menopause and why diet culture, not menopause, is often to blame. We talk about how you can rebuild your metabolism without fear, how to strength train for real results, and how to stop being scared to eat more.This episode was inspired by a listener comment on our menopause episode with Dr. Allan Bacon—and it sparked a raw, real convo about what women are never told about midlife, metabolism, and muscle.What We Cover:Why your metabolism isn't “broken”—but it is underfed and under muscled!How chronic dieting lowers your maintenance calories (and how to fix it)Why strength training is the most powerful tool in midlifeHow to know if you're lifting hard enough to get resultsHow to push past the fear of gaining weight when eating moreA client example of switching from group fitness classes with tons of cardio, to traditional strength trainingYou can increase your calories, lift heavier, and feel amazing in your body again—but you've got to stop trying to shrink it to do so.Thank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explores the significance of detoxification and its impact on overall health. She highlights the role of the liver in detoxification and discusses how various foods and nutrients can support liver function to optimize detoxification pathways. Leyla covers the importance of consuming organic produce, clean seafood, and minimizing exposure to toxins found in household products, medications, and certain foods. She also details the phase one and phase two enzymes involved in detoxification, the importance of specific vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and the signals that might indicate the need for liver support. Lastly, she encourages listeners to make healthier dietary choices and lifestyle changes to support their liver and overall well-being.

Send us a textHow our biological clocks shape biology from the molecular to behavioral level.Episode Summary: Dr. Joseph Takahashi discusses circadian rhythms, exploring their biological basis, from molecular mechanisms to their impact on metabolism and health; the discovery of circadian clock genes; role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and how light, feeding, and oxygen influence these rhythms. The conversation highlights practical implications, such as the effects of artificial light and meal timing on health, and touches on emerging research linking stronger circadian clocks to longevity.About the guest: Joseph Takahashi, PhD is a renowned neuroscientist at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he leads research on circadian clock genes.Discussion Points:The suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus acts as the brain's central clock, syncing with light via the retina.Key circadian genes like CLOCK and BMAL regulate thousands of genes, especially those involved in metabolism, impacting health outcomes.Internal desynchronization, when brain and organ clocks misalign (e.g., from eating at night), can lead to metabolic issues like pre-diabetes.In mice, eating at the right time (night for nocturnal animals) extends lifespan by up to 35% under caloric restriction, compared to 10% with spread-out feeding.Artificial light, especially blue light at night, disrupts melatonin and circadian rhythms, while natural sunlight supports healthy eye development.Melatonin, a darkness-signaling hormone, is best for resetting rhythms (e.g., jet lag) at low doses, not as a sedative, and U.S. supplements vary widely in quality.Oxygen-sensing proteins interact with circadian clock components, hinting at links between altitude, metabolism, and health.Learning and memory show diurnal variations, with better performance at certain times, influenced by circadian modulation of synaptic activity.A stronger circadian clock, created genetically in mice, led to 16% longer lifespan and resistance to weight gain (unpublished research).Related episode:M&M 202: Why Do Animals Sleep? | Vlad Vyazovskiy*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.

In this groundbreaking episode, Jonathan, Tim, and guest researcher Professor Quirijn de Mast explore a landmark clinical trial conducted in partnership with Tanzanian scientists and community members at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). Published in Nature Medicine, the study investigates what happens when people switch between Western-style eating and a traditional diet from the Kilimanjaro region of Northern Tanzania — rich in fermented foods, legumes, ancient grains, and green vegetables. The results? Rapid, measurable changes to immune function, inflammation, and gut health — with powerful implications for global disease risk.We dive into the science behind millet porridge, fermented banana beer, and the fibre-rich meals that Tanzanian communities have eaten for generations. Quirijn shares insights from his 20-year collaboration with local researchers. This episode explores scientific research on traditional East African diets and inflammation, led by Quirijn in close collaboration with Tanzanian scientists and participants. As Western scientists and hosts, we are aware of the need for humility when discussing cultural traditions not our own, and we approach this conversation with respect and curiosity.

Have you ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling unheard, unseen, or told everything was 'normal'—even though you knew something was off? You're not alone.In this powerful episode, we're pulling back the curtain on medical gaslighting—the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without real answers when it comes to their health.We also break down what evidence-based care really means—and how it often gets used as a shield for lazy medicine that doesn't serve women in perimenopause, postpartum, or even during puberty.We cover:- The most common forms of medical gaslighting (and why they're so damaging)- What “evidence-based” care should mean vs. how it's misused- Why so many women are told “everything looks fine” when their hormones are clearly not- How to advocate for yourself when you're not being taken seriously- Why your lived experience is data—and deserves to be part of your care planThis is an episode for every woman who has ever been brushed off, labeled as “dramatic,” or told to “just wait it out.” Your voice matters. Your symptoms matter. And it's time we stop settling for surface-level care that ignores the bigger picture.

Welcome back to the third episode of our Metabolism Series – and today, I'm tackling the one topic that gets everyone in their feelings: FAT LOSS. But let's be clear… I'm not talking crash diets, cabbage soup, or “skinny by Saturday” nonsense. I'm talking fat loss done right. If you're a woman over 40 who's been dieting harder than a 2000s fitness competitor and still not seeing results, this episode is your permission slip to break up with the BS and start playing the long game. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down: Why your obsession with the scale is tanking your results What it actually means to change your body composition The 12–16-week fat loss phase (and why you should treat it like a season, not a lifestyle) Why that 1–2 lb per week “rule” is total trash How to wade into fat loss like a rockstar (without mourning your almond butter) Plus, you'll get the real scoop on why slashing calories, skipping meals, and fasting your face off is the exact opposite of what your perimenopausal body needs. Spoiler: There is a better way. And it starts by finally stop bullying your body and start to treat it like the partner it is. Bonus: I've got a Metabolism Quiz linked below that'll tell you exactly what phase you're in right now—fat loss, maintenance, or reverse. No more guessing, no more Googling. And if you're tired of white knuckling your way through another diet plan, grab my upcoming Metabolism Reset Guide to start building a sustainable fat loss roadmap that actually fits your real life. Hit play, grab a notebook (or your favorite protein smoothie), and let's get real about what it takes to get results at this stage of life, without burning out, bingeing, or blowing up your social life. Because my queen, fat loss isn't forever… but freedom from diet drama? That's the goal. Screenshot this ep, tag me on IG or hop into the Fit Girl Magic Facebook group and share your biggest takeaway!

I've been getting a lot of questions lately as our following and show has grown such as: “What actually is a functional health approach to weight loss?” “Are labs like the GI Map or DUTCH test worth it?” “What do I even do with the results?” If you've ever thought, “I eat clean. I work out. I track my food. And yet… nothing's changing,” this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I open up about what I've learned after years of doing everything “right” and still feeling inflamed, exhausted, and stuck in a body that felt like it was working against me. We'll unpack the real reasons your body may be resisting fat loss, healing, and energy. To all the ill-informed men in my comments: It's not just discipline or willpower or eating less and moving more. You'll learn why functional testing can reveal what basic labs miss, and how systems like your gut, thyroid, liver, and adrenals all communicate in a connected “group chat”, where one disruption creates a cascade. I'll share the exact myths I had to break about weight loss, hormones, and healing and the turning point that finally helped me get real answers. This episode is about reconnecting with your body, learning to read its signals, and understanding that your symptoms aren't random, they're messages. You'll walk away with clarity, compassion for yourself, and hope that yes, this is fixable. If your body feels broken… this is the permission slip and path forward you've been waiting for. Time Stamps: (1:37) Getting A Lot of Questions As We've Grown (2:57) Doing All The Right Things And Still Stuck? (3:47) I Was There Not Too Long Ago (7:02) The Eat Less and Move More Belief (12:16) Adrenals and Cortisol (15:03) Liver and Detoxification (22:52) Looking Holistically At The Body (27:06) DUTCH Test and GI Map (28:38) What The Healing Process Looks Like (31:24) Our 1-1 Coaching---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Ever feel like the longer you try to lose weight, the harder it gets? Like your body is secretly sabotaging you, and someone flipped a switch to “slow metabolism mode”? You're not alone—and no, your metabolism isn't broken. In this episode, we're kicking off Part 1 of a 2-part metabolism series that breaks down what's really going on when your fat loss slows down. I'm diving into a recent 2022 scientific review from the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research by Martínez-Gómez & Roberts—but don't worry, I'm translating the science into simple, relatable mom-speak. Here's what we cover in this episode: ✅ What your metabolism actually is (it's more than just calories burned at the gym) ✅ Why your metabolism isn't sabotaging you, but protecting you ✅ How your body adapts to a calorie deficit like a smart thermostat ✅ The role of hormones in slowing down your results—and why it's not your fault ✅ The difference between resting energy, NEAT, and EAT ✅ Why your hunger skyrockets and energy tanks after a few weeks of dieting ✅ The truth about a “slow metabolism” and why you're not broken You'll meet the key hormonal players in the fat loss journey—leptin, ghrelin, thyroid hormones, insulin, and cortisol—and learn how they work with your body to keep you alive, even when it feels like they're working against your goals. Spoiler: Your body isn't broken. It's brilliantly adaptive. But understanding how your metabolism works is the first step toward breaking through the plateau and learning how to lose weight in a way that's actually sustainable. This episode is for the mom who's: Eating healthy, working out, and still not seeing the scale budge Wondering if their slow metabolism is to blame Feeling frustrated, hungry, tired, and confused about what to do next Ready to understand the why behind their fat loss challenges Stay tuned for Part 2, where I'll walk you through practical strategies to support your metabolism while still seeing progress. We'll talk about how to reduce or delay metabolic adaptation, and how to make fat loss doable (and not miserable).

Send us a textCellular self-organization, cytoskeleton dynamics, and membrane wound healing.Episode Summary: Cell Biologist Dr. Bill Bement explains the dynamic world of the cell cortex, discussing how actin filaments and microtubules drive processes like cell division and wound healing through self-assembly and self-organization; energy dynamics of these processes; the role of rho GTPases in patterning; the implications for diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy, using vivid analogies and video demonstrations to make complex concepts accessible.About the guest: Bill Bement, PhD is a cell biology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has studied cellular processes for over 30 years. He leads a lab focused on the cell cortex, investigating cell division and repair. His work emphasizes self-organization and cytoskeletal dynamics, contributing to insights into diseases like muscular dystrophy.Discussion Points:The cell cortex, the outer layer of a cell, includes the plasma membrane & underlying proteins like actin & myosin, which enable dynamic shape changes.Actin filaments self-assemble without energy input, growing & shrinking to facilitate cell movement and division, while microtubules, stiffer hollow tubes, aid in chromosome separation.Self-organization in cells, driven by energy-dependent feedback loops, creates complex patterns like mitotic spindles.Cellular wound healing involves concentric rings of rho GTPases and actin, closing wounds rapidly, a process critical for surviving natural damage from mechanical stress or toxins.Energy costs of cytoskeletal rearrangements are significant but likely less than protein synthesis, though precise measurements remain challenging.Cancer metastasis may rely on enhanced cell repair, allowing metastatic cells to survive mechanical damage while squeezing through tissues.Muscular dystrophy involves excessive damage or impaired repair, highlighting the importance of cell repair mechanisms.Bement's lab is developing tools for synthetic self-organization, aiming to manipulate cellular processes to address repair deficits in diseases.Related episode:M&M 220: Cell Death, Oxidative Stress, PUFAs & Antioxidants | Pamela 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.

In today's episode, I share my personal experience with stem cell therapy—and the unexpected lessons that came from being forced to slow down. Whether you're choosing a procedure like stem cell therapy or suddenly dealing with an injury or illness, time off from your normal routine isn't just inconvenient — it's a major mental and physical shift. But it doesn't have to be a setback.  In this episode, I unpack the power of reframing your downtime with three key focus areas: Mindset,  Movement, and  Meaningful redirection.   Why I opted for Stem Cell Therapy Knee inflammation.  As a medical exercise specialist and a strength & conditioning coach, if we have a knee issue, the first places to look are the hip mobility, glute strength and hamstring strength. I chose to do a stem cell therapy NOW before the degeneration of the tissues got worse. Nothing you do with soft tissue will help your hard tissue or bone structure regenerate. If there's an opportunity to regenerate, it occurs when you're healthiest, not when more damage is done.   MINDSET Detaching identity from physically active and physically capable Dealing with “rest guilt” “You will regret doing too much. You won't regret doing less.” Flipping frustration into self-awareness What I did: travel to a baby shower  Accept the pace change without resentment.   MOVEMENT Moving smarter not harder. Do what I am able to do (core activation) and how I modified it with no pressure on the knees (e.g. stretching, swimming with a pool buoy, etc). “Some” movement matters more than “perfect” movement. It's better to be undertrained than overtrained.   MEANINGFUL REDIRECTION (or Focus Shift) Using the extra time for non-physical growth (sleep, reading a book, collecting recipes, etc.) Business planning, learning, and creative projects. The power of journaling during healing. Making your mandatory time off count long-term.   The Power of Pause - The Lesson Learned from My Stem Cell Therapy   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Bladder Issues in Menopause - The Hidden Bacteria You Need to Know Next Episode - Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones | Essential How-to for Essential Oils More Like This - Better Strength and Metabolism in Midlife Through More Rest and Recovery   Resources:  Get your lean, clean Flipping 50 Protein Powders to maintain muscle and support metabolism.
