Send us a textAre seed oils really driving chronic disease (and sunburns), or is it hype?Episode Summary: Dr. Brian Kerley talks about the health impacts of seed oils, their high omega-6 fatty acid content, and their role in chronic diseases through mechanisms like lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. They explore how these industrially processed oils may contribute to conditions like heart disease and obesity, discuss the challenges of studying their long-term effects, and highlight the cultural and political dimensions of dietary trends.About the guest: Brian Kerley, MD is a family medicine-trained hospitalist physician who gained online prominence as the "Seed Oil Disrespecter" through his meme account, raising awareness about the health risks of seed oils.Discussion Points:Seed Oils & Health Risks: Seed oils (e.g., soybean, corn, etc.) are high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), linked to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, producing toxic compounds like 4-HNE and acrolein that damage cells.Evolutionary Perspective: The high omega-6 levels in modern diets are evolutionarily novel, deviating from natural omega-6 to omega-3 ratios found in traditional diets, potentially exacerbating health issues across diverse populations.Challenges with RCTs: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) often fail to capture the long-term effects of seed oils due to the need for extended washout periods (up to 8 years) and the pervasive presence of omega-6 in modern food environments.Cultural & Political Coding: Dietary trends like seed oil avoidance have become politically charged, with Kerley noting the polarization between institutional health narratives and alternative health communities, complicating public health discussions.Personal Impact: Dr. Kerley's focus on seed oils stems from personal experiences, including managing his daughter's mitochondrial disorder, highlighting the personal stakes in dietary choices.Related episode:M&M 192: Seed Oils, Chronic Disease, Diet & Religious Cults, Mainstream Medicine vs. Independent Research | Tucker Goodrich*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.

Today, we discuss which is better for fat loss: cardio or strength training. Spoiler alert: cardio is not the most sustainable or effective fat loss tool. We get into the science behind why, which includes a conversation about metabolism and adaptation. Then we discuss why strength training is a better choice for fat loss and why. We go over the common mistakes people make when they want to lose fat, and talk about what improving your body composition actually means. In this Episode, we Discuss: What Is Cardio—and How Does It Burn Fat?What Is Strength Training—and How Does It Support Fat Loss?Strength Training vs Cardio For Fat LossThe Science Behind Muscle, Metabolism, and Fat LossCan You Combine Strength and Cardio for Better Results?Mistakes to Avoid When Training for Fat LossStrength vs. Cardio: The Verdict for Fat Loss
Why is it that so many high-performing women, those who train hard, eat clean, and juggle intense work and family lives, still feel puffy, stuck, and exhausted no matter how “healthy” they are? In this episode, we unpack a surprising hormonal pattern hiding beneath the surface: your body might be actively shutting down the very system you rely on for energy and fat loss. Through a powerful client case study, a runner, mom, and executive who couldn't figure out why her fat loss stalled, we dive into the hidden role of cortisol and cortisone. Her labs revealed flatlined cortisol and elevated cortisone, a red flag of chronic stress adaptation. This wasn't just mental overwhelm: her biology had hit the brakes. We break down how this protective mechanism, like a hormonal dimmer switch, turns off your body's ability to burn fat, regulate blood sugar, and respond to stress. When your system favors cortisone over cortisol, you enter a kind of metabolic “freeze,” where motivation, energy, and even hormones like estrogen and progesterone take a nosedive. You'll learn why this client's symptoms such as stubborn belly fat, exhaustion, and poor recovery weren't a matter of willpower, but survival. We share the exact next steps she took: from pulling back on cardio to rebuilding adrenal function and strength. If you're a high-achieving woman wondering why nothing seems to work anymore, this episode could be your lightbulb moment.

In this episode, I will share the topics of self-empowerment and personal transformation that are close to my heart. We explore the ways we often self-sabotage, the incredible power of our identity, and the importance of self-giving in our journey toward growth and healing.I share an honest and introspective look at the stories we tell ourselves—how these narratives can either hold us back or become the very fuel we need for true transformation. This conversation is about more than just fitness; it's about sustaining motivation, redefining who we believe we are, and dismantling the self-imposed barriers that keep us stuck.Through practical tools and mindset shifts, I talk about moving from externally driven motivation to a source of deep internal inspiration. I also explore how embracing a dialectical approach—holding space for both struggle and progress—can create long-lasting change in health, fitness, and life.Together, we unpack how societal expectations shape our self-perception, how self-sabotage creeps in, and how the antidote lies in radical self-compassion and a willingness to shift our identity. If you're craving a fresh perspective that blends strategy with soul, this episode offers a roadmap to move beyond conventional fitness and step into a more holistic, empowered version of yourself.Topics Covered:Exploring Energy Medicine and Overcoming Dieting with Dr. SherryFrom Athlete to Advocate: A Journey of ResilienceOvercoming Limiting Beliefs to Unlock Self-Healing PotentialRewriting Self-Identity Through Awareness and Inner TransformationRewriting Personal Narratives to Overcome Limiting BeliefsEmbracing the Athlete Mindset for Self-Compassion and AwarenessThe Impact of Self Talk on Metabolism and Emotional EatingThe Power of Self-Love and Mindset TransformationConnecting With Dr. Sherry Siobhan Through Energy MedicineIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

If you're struggling with acne, breakouts, or dull skin, this episode is for you. In the functional health world, we see skin issues not as isolated surface problems but as signs of deeper internal imbalances. I'll walk you through the five core systems I assess when working with clients dealing with chronic acne. From gut health to hormones, blood sugar, liver detox, and nervous system regulation. You'll learn how issues like leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, or poor liver detox can manifest as inflammation on your skin. I also dive into the role of insulin resistance, stress, and environmental toxins in making things worse. Instead of quick-fix treatments, we focus on targeted strategies like comprehensive stool and hormone testing, food and supplement protocols, and lifestyle shifts that actually address the root cause. I'll also share what I look for in test results, what symptoms matter most and what you can start doing now to support clearer skin from the inside out. Whether your breakouts are linked to PMS, stress, or digestive issues, you'll leave this episode with clarity and next steps. Remember: your skin is a mirror of your internal health and healing is possible.

You're eating clean. You're moving your body. But you still feel bloated, puffy, inflamed—and the scale won't budge.Sound familiar?In this episode, we break down why inflammation could be the hidden reason your body is holding onto weight—even when you're doing everything “right.”This is especially common for women over 40, when hormone shifts, gut stress, and metabolic slowdowns collide.
Eating clean but still feeling off? In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how a bad diet can still sneak into your routine—even when it looks “healthy.” Learn the hidden signs your body is reacting to the wrong foods and how to course-correct using simple, powerful strategies. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Not all “healthy” foods are healthy for you—bio-individuality matters. Bloating, fatigue, and brain fog may be signs of food sensitivities. Bad diet patterns can persist even on whole food diets. Gut symptoms often point to deeper imbalances in the liver and gallbladder. You can reset your digestion by supporting detox pathways and microbiome health. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – A targeted gut, liver, and gallbladder support bundle. As discussed in this episode, symptoms of a bad diet often trace back to poor digestion and sluggish detox. This protocol is designed to restore healthy elimination, reduce bloating, and promote microbiome balance.
This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright answer listener questions from around the world about metabolic health. This mailbag episode explores widely-debated topics like “starvation mode,” weight loss plateaus, the relationship between metabolism and cognitive health, cannabis and metabolism, metabolic effects of liposuction, and the latest on GLP-1 medications.Key Takeaways:Dr. Cooper dispels myths around “starvation mode,” citing research on the long-term metabolic impact of dieting and caloric restriction.Weight loss plateaus are often misunderstood—Dr. Cooper explains the natural adaptations behind them and how to assess true progress.Metabolic health plays a major role in brain function, cognitive decline, depression, and dementia prevention.Cannabis affects metabolic pathways in complex ways, with regular use potentially causing negative metabolic effects.Liposuction can trigger metabolic rebound and rapid fat regain for some patients, especially when leptin levels are low.Updates on GLP-1 meds: Liraglutide is available in generic form, but costs fluctuate. New oral and combination therapies are on the horizon.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea and Mark reflect on their own journeys with dieting, weight plateaus, and medication.Dr. Cooper shares clinical experiences with metabolic rebound after liposuction and ways to navigate pharmacologic treatments.Correction: Lilly has a lower cash pay for Medicare and Medicaid, but Novo Nordisk is not yet.References related to diet-induced metabolic adaptation, also called biological adaptation and defense of body weight. 1.

Liv shares practical examples and client experiences to illustrate the benefits of reverse dieting, particularly for those who have been on restrictive diets or medications like GLP-1s. The episode concludes with an invitation for listeners to engage with questions and share their experiences.
