In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the real reason aging accelerates after 40 and the free 10-minute ritual that reverses visible aging from the inside out. Instead of creams, injections, or prescriptions, Ben explains how activating your body's natural nitric oxide (NO) production can restore youthful energy, boost fat-burning, improve collagen, sharpen the brain, and recharge your mitochondria. Ben breaks down what nitric oxide is, why production drops up to 60 percent by your 40s, and how this decline leads to wrinkles, fatigue, stubborn belly fat, and poor sleep. He shares his personal 10-minute Nitric Oxide Activation Protocol:• A 4-minute nitric oxide dump workout• A 3-minute sunlight + nasal breathing reset• A 3-minute grounding + “Vitamin G” gratitude practice He also shows how this routine dramatically improved his HRV, sleep, and readiness scores using his Oura Ring. Guest expert Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world's leading nitric oxide researchers, explains exactly how NO controls blood flow, cellular energy, mitochondrial function, longevity, and disease prevention. Ben then expands the protocol with two powerful add-ons:• 20-second sprints to boost human growth hormone by up to 450 percent• Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) to increase ATP, collagen, and nitric oxide signaling He closes with a rapid-fire Q&A about blood pressure, age 60+, sauna vs. cold plunge, combining stacks, and timing. This episode gives you everything you need to restore youthful biology — naturally, quickly, and without spending anything. FREE GUIDE: Better Than Ozempic - https://bit.ly/3LV3yEh

Today, we have the first episode in a two-part mashup series focused on metabolism and weight loss resistance. I am delighted to be joined today by Dr. William Li, Michelle Shapiro, and Lara Adler. Dr. Li and I explore how our metabolism shifts throughout our lifetime, the role of excess body fat, the influence of lifestyle choices, and the distinction between different types of fat. Michelle and I discuss the complex relationship between weight, shame, and self-perception, including how internal dialogue, orthorexia, and adverse childhood events shape our health journey. Lara and I examine how metabolic health and insulin resistance are affected by the endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in everyday products, food, and the environment. You will love this invaluable compilation, packed with insights and practical knowledge from our expert guests. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How metabolism changes as we age The difference between brown (biologically active) and white fat Excess body fat drives inflammation and hormonal changes. How our internal dialogue influences our lifestyle choices Impact of adverse childhood experiences on long-term health and stress responses Dietary strategies can fail when driven by fear or perfectionism. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals block or mimic hormones Early-life chemical exposures set the stage for lifelong metabolic challenges Reducing toxic exposure can support weight management and metabolic resilience.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared opens part one of a powerful new series on what he calls the hidden epidemic—the widespread and silent impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on hormones, brain chemistry, metabolism, and long-term health. After more than a year and a half of deep research, Jared and his wife Jen have uncovered how these chemicals mimic hormones, block receptors, interfere with detox pathways, disrupt neurotransmitters, and contribute to challenges like fatigue, low motivation, stubborn weight gain, PMS, anxiety, sleep struggles, and declining testosterone in both men and women.This episode explains why the endocrine system is struggling more than ever, how EDCs create thyroid chaos, hormonal imbalance, and neurochemical disruption, and what steps you can begin taking right now to start clearing these compounds from your environment and your body. If you've been dealing with symptoms that “don't match” your lab work, if you've struggled to feel balanced despite doing the right things, or if you've suspected environmental chemicals may be affecting you or your family, make sure to listen to Part 2 and stay tuned for future episodes.

A nutritionist and health coach with 15 years experience, Erin shares with us the science behind the Epic Breakfast, the psychological importance of nourishing your body well and how when it comes to weight-loss (and health), you may need to work on your feelings more than your food.

In this episode, Ben Azadi exposes the hidden toxins inside popular “healthy” ice cream brands — even those labeled organic, vegan, or keto-friendly. You'll discover: The five toxic ice cream traps that damage your gut, hormones, and metabolism. Why ingredients like seed oils, emulsifiers, and carrageenan can cause leaky gut, inflammation, and insulin resistance. How to read labels smarter so you stop falling for “natural” and “low-calorie” marketing tricks. The two ice cream brands Ben actually recommends for a clean, guilt-free treat. Why even “healthy” ice cream spikes glucose — and how a 30-minute walk after dessert can cut that spike by up to 40%. Plus, Ben answers listener questions about seed oils, moderation, and smart indulgence.
Feeling stuck in weight loss resistance in midlife, even though you're walking, eating "pretty healthy," and doing all the things? In this episode, I sit down with Michelle, a former physical therapist turned yoga teacher, trainer, and health coach, to talk about what your metabolism actually needs after 40—and why more cardio is rarely the answer. We get honest about busy schedules, back pain, fear of lifting heavier weights, and that nagging feeling that you "should" be doing more, all while your energy and motivation are slipping. We break down the real difference between steps, cardio, and strength training, and how midlife changes in muscle mass, hormones, and stress tolerance mean your body needs a smarter, more strategic approach. If you've been worried about injury, confused by conflicting advice online, or frustrated that your efforts aren't showing up on the scale, this conversation will help you understand what to focus on next—without an all-or-nothing mindset. Key Points (full details inside the episode) Why daily movement and short, consistent strength sessions beat long, draining cardio for midlife metabolism and long-term health. How muscle loss after 40 affects weight loss resistance, bone health, and injury risk—and the simple way to start rebuilding strength at home. The mistake of over-exercising and under-eating, and how too much stress on the body can work against your hormones and keep the weight on. What a "strong core" really is (hint: it's not just abs) and how it protects your back, posture, and everyday movement as you age. If you're a midlife woman wanting better metabolism, less weight loss resistance, and a stronger, more resilient body without punishing workouts, this episode will give you a clear "why" behind lifting, yoga, walking, and choosing the right kind of movement for your season of life. Hit play to get clarity, encouragement, and practical insight you can finally use.

Send us a textMitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is a little-known but essential pathway that supports energy production and metabolic health.Summary: Dr. Sara Nowinski explains how mitochondria not only burn fuels to make ATP but also synthesize their own fatty acids inside the matrix; this conserved pathway produces lipoic acid (an essential enzyme cofactor) and longer-chain fats required for proper assembly of the electron transport chain, and disrupting it impairs respiration, glucose handling, and insulin sensitivity while enhancing it appears protective against obesity and heart injury.About the guest: Sara Nowinski, PhD is an assistant professor in the Department of Metabolism and Nutritional Programming at Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where since 2021 she has led a lab focused on mitochondrial biology and the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mitoFAS) pathway.Topics Discussed:Basic mitochondrial energy production: food → pyruvate/fatty acids → acetyl-CoA → TCA cycle → electron transport chain → ATPMitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mitoFAS): a bacterial-like pathway that builds fats on an acyl carrier protein inside the matrixLipoic acid: an 8-carbon fatty acid made only by mitoFAS, covalently attached to key enzymes (e.g., pyruvate dehydrogenase); cannot be rescued by supplements for cofactor useLonger mitoFAS products (14–16 carbons) stabilize electron transport chain assembly factors, explaining why pathway loss collapses respiration even when lipoic acid is intactKnocking out mitoFAS causes embryonic lethality, insulin resistance, poor glucose homeostasis, and a rare neurodegenerative disorder (MEPAN syndrome)Overexpressing the mitochondrial acyl carrier protein protects mice from diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiac injuryMuscle cell differentiation fails without mitoFAS, hinting at a role in tissue development and repairPractical Takeaways:Supplemental lipoic acid can act as an antioxidant but cannot replace the lipoic acid your mitochondria must make themselves for enzyme function.Severe impairment of mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disruption, suggesting mitochondrial health (beyond just biogenesis) matters for glucose control.Lifestyle or future therapies that boost overall mitochondrial function (e.g., exercise via PGC-1α) may indirectly support tSupport the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

In this episode of The Best You Podcast, Nick sits down with Katie Hardie, Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, FDN Practitioner, and founder of My PEAK—a company that helps performance-driven individuals optimize their energy, nutrition, and body composition using personalized, data-driven strategies.Katie explains how your metabolic type plays a major role in determining which foods fuel you best, how hungry you feel, and how stable your energy is throughout the day. She dives into how macronutrient ratios, hormone balance, and lifestyle all interact to affect metabolism—and shares how you can finally get clarity on what your body actually needs.Plus, she gets real about detoxing (what it really means), cooking with kids, and building a healthier household without extremes or gimmicks.What You'll Learn:● How metabolic typing helps you choose the right foods for your body● Why calories in vs. calories out is incomplete—but not wrong● The role of hormones like insulin and cortisol in your energy and metabolism● How to detox naturally with foods and avoid “detox traps”● Simple ways to reintroduce cooking into your family culture● Why teaching kids to cook might be one of the healthiest habits you build
If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don't-need-rest mindset. But now your body feels like it's pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I've been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty, I'm giving you a simple, practical five-question check-in to help you know whether your body needs rest or whether gentle movement will actually make you feel better. Because in a healing season, both rest and movement are powerful — it's just about choosing the right one for the day you're in. You'll learn why the signals you're feeling are a sign of recovery, not failure. I'll walk you through what this looks like in different phases of healing — from burnout, to rebuilding, to thriving again. We'll also talk about the mental side of this: letting go of the belief that discipline only counts when you push harder. Resting doesn't make you weak. It makes you wiser. And the more you listen to your body, the faster your energy, hormones, and confidence return. By the end of this episode, you'll have a tool you can use anytime you're unsure of what your body needs. This is how you build trust with yourself again — one decision at a time. So take a breath, tune in, and let's help your body feel safe and strong again.

This episode breaks down how undereating is quietly wrecking the metabolism of women in their 50s. I'm sharing the real story of a woman named Carol, who came to me stuck, frustrated, and convinced her menopause belly was permanent.Carol was living on 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day, cutting carbs, avoiding foods she loved, and pushing through exhaustion because she thought that was the only way to lose weight. Instead, her metabolism downshifted, her energy crashed, her sleep worsened, her belly grew, and nothing she tried moved the scale.In this episode, I walk through exactly why this happens, the myths that keep women stuck, and how to actually repair a metabolism that's been suppressed from years of undereating. You'll learn the signs your metabolism needs help, why carbs are essential for women in menopause, and how a reverse diet can completely change the way your body responds to fat loss.If you see yourself in Carol's story, this episode will help you understand what's going on inside your body and what to do next.And if you want to learn how we reverse diet our clients out of this situation then join me for my Festive AF Masterclass.

Most people think sugar is the worst carb — but there's one “healthy” carb that's even more dangerous. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how whole-grain wheat bread, often labeled as “heart-healthy,” secretly shuts off your fat-burning hormones, causes insulin resistance, and keeps you inflamed — especially after 40. You'll learn how this common food spikes your glucose just like candy, blocks your metabolism for hours, and fuels hormone imbalances like leptin resistance, thyroid slowdown, and estrogen dominance. Ben shares real data from his glucose monitor experiment and explains why removing wheat products for just 14 days can dramatically boost energy, improve sleep, and restart fat burning. You'll also discover the best carb alternatives — sweet potatoes, cooled white rice, and root vegetables — plus how to download his free 7-Day Fat Loss Protocol to finally heal your metabolism and reclaim your energy.

When lawyer Michelle Neimeyer received a devastating diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis—a rare autoimmune disease that typically leads to liver failure—she embarked on a journey that would completely transform her understanding of health, productivity, and fulfillment.Michelle shares how, despite following what she believed was a healthy lifestyle with intense workouts and protein shakes, her body was silently rebelling. The shocking diagnosis forced her to question everything she thought she knew about wellness. Working with alternative practitioners and studying nutrition, she implemented radical lifestyle changes that not only normalized her liver function but reversed damage her doctors hadn't believed was possible.The unexpected side effect? Her persistent brain fog lifted. Her energy skyrocketed. The burnout that had plagued her legal career vanished. At nearly 60, she began feeling like she was in her twenties again. Michelle realized that what she had interpreted as a time management problem was actually her body crying out for proper care—a revelation that led her to create "The Art of Bending Time."Now a certified health coach, Michelle works with busy professionals who feel they're sacrificing their lives for their careers. She reveals how chronic stress, poor nutrition, and neglect of crucial systems like lymphatic drainage directly impact cognitive performance and energy levels. By identifying what she calls "sparks"—the small, everyday sources of joy that fuel sustainable energy—her clients learn to prevent burnout while accomplishing more meaningful work.Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or simply curious about the connection between physical health and productivity, Michelle's story offers a compelling alternative to conventional approaches to time management and professional success.

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals a simple yet powerful trick to flip your body from fat-storing to fat-burning mode in just 7 days — no calorie counting or crazy diets required. You'll learn why your body holds on to toxic visceral fat, how your metabolism is deeply tied to your circadian rhythm, and the secret to syncing your eating habits with daylight to supercharge fat loss, detoxification, and deep sleep. Ben breaks down the four mechanisms behind this powerful shift — insulin sensitivity, liver metabolism, melatonin regulation, and the fat-burning switch — and explains how aligning your meals with natural light cycles can help you burn fat even while you sleep. If you've been doing “everything right” and still struggling with stubborn belly fat, this episode shows you how to finally reset your metabolism and take back control — naturally.

Episode Description In this solo episode, we're unpacking what really happens to your metabolism during the holidays and why it's not as dramatic or disastrous as the internet makes it seem. Instead of stressing over travel, late nights, celebrations, and all the festive food, we'll look at how small, doable habits can help you feel steady, nourished, and grounded through the season. You'll get a clearer understanding of how sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition influence your energy, along with realistic ways to support yourself without giving up the joy of the holidays. No restriction. No guilt. Just simple shifts that help your body feel cared for, even when life feels busier than usual. If you've ever wished you could enjoy the season and feel good in your body at the same time, this episode will help you find that middle ground. Key Points: Understand what "holiday metabolism" actually refers to and why your energy may feel different. Learn how protein-rich meals—especially earlier in the day—help stabilize blood sugar and support muscle. See why skipping meals or "saving calories" can slow metabolism and lead to overeating. Explore simple ways movement supports metabolic health. Learn how hydration plays a role in cravings, hunger cues, and energy levels. Understand how sleep disruption affects hunger hormones and digestion. Discover how chronic stress impacts blood sugar and midsection weight gain, plus ways to soften that stress. And many more… As you move through the season, notice what actually helps you feel like yourself. Maybe it's a real meal before a party, a quick walk after dinner, or choosing sleep over one more thing on the to-do list. Maybe it's just giving yourself permission to enjoy what you enjoy without overthinking it. Your metabolism isn't asking for perfection — it's asking for care. And you're allowed to give yourself that, even in the middle of the holiday chaos. YouTube Link

Dr. Sara Szal, a Harvard and MIT-trained physician, sits down to unpack why women bear the brunt of autoimmune conditions at rates that keep climbing. She introduces the three-legged stool concept that's required for autoimmune disease to take hold, then breaks down why 95% of her patients show cortisol dysregulation long before they're ever diagnosed with anything. What makes this conversation powerful is that Dr. Szal doesn't just study this academically, she's lived it, going through prophylactic mastectomies and converting her own positive anti-nuclear antibody back to normal through targeted interventions.

Do You Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz Eighty to ninety percent of the women I talk to tell me they're “eating clean.” The problem? They're following the same “healthy” diet that worked for their 30-year-old metabolism…and hormones. According to a 2022 study in the Journal of Midlife Health, nearly seven in ten women in perimenopause who report “eating clean” still show elevated inflammation markers—one of the biggest drivers of sluggish metabolism and stubborn weight gain. In today's episode, I'm peeling back the curtain on five so-called “healthy” foods that might be secretly slowing down your metabolism…and why the very foods you thought were helping you lose weight might actually be keeping the scale stuck. In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including ✅ What foods slow down metabolism in perimenopause? ✅ Is soy good for your hormones in midlife? ✅ Which is better for your blood sugar: pure cane sugar or agave? ✅ How does inflammation contribute to weight gain in perimenopause? ✅ Can eating more whole grains help me lose weight after 40? ✅ What are some sneaky sources of sugar hiding in a “clean” diet? ✅ Why can't I lose weight even though I'm eating healthy? If you've ever wondered why your “healthy” diet seems to be working against you, this episode will show you what's really keeping your metabolism stuck. — “WHAT I WISH I KNEW AT 40” SERIES 100 | Perimenopause Weight Gain?

Send us a textImportance of Sleep Inactive Sleep Mask https://inactiveco.com/What if the simplest tool in your bedroom could unlock better recovery, steadier mood, and sharper performance? We sit down with Jill McCray—co-founder of the Inactive Company and former executive at Spanx, Starbucks, and Delta—to unpack how a century-old sleep accessory became a serious performance tool for athletes, veterans, parents, and frequent flyers. Jill traces the journey from “I'll sleep when I'm dead” to building a patented sleep mask that delivers complete darkness, active cooling with phase change material, and hardware‑free comfort that fits any head and even lets you open your eyes under the mask—an insight that dramatically increased adoption in PTSD cohorts.We explore why sleep has jumped to the top of the wellness pyramid (hello, American Heart Association's Essential 8), and how elite programs validated the design. From NFLPA reorders and college football travel kits to third‑party studies showing 15–30 minutes more sleep per night, the data points add up. Jill breaks down the four pillars of better sleep—darkness for melatonin signaling, thermoregulation for fewer 3 a.m. wakeups, deeper REM and slow‑wave quality, and comfort that drives real-world compliance. We also dig into their CBT‑I inspired Sleep Seven playbook, a personalizable routine that turns the mask into a reliable cue—your nightly “sleep warm‑up” that helps your body power down and stay there.If you've tried apps, supplements, and gadgets with little payoff, this conversation offers a refreshing, evidence-aware approach to sleep optimization. You'll learn how textile science borrowed from aerospace quietly stabilizes temperature, why design details matter for anxious or trauma-affected sleepers, and where performance sleepwear is headed next with infrared-friendly, cooling fabrics.

Cancer can be seen as a seed that only sprouts in the right soil—the body's inner landscape. Today, that soil is changing fast, and cancer rates are climbing, especially among young people. Our modern diet—packed with sugar, processed foods, and nonstop snacking—keeps the body flooded with signals to grow, not heal. But there's good news: by eating real, colorful foods and giving the body time to rest between meals, we can calm inflammation, balance our gut, and make our inner soil far less welcoming to disease. The power to shift the story lies in every bite and every pause we take. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Thomas Seyfried, how modern diets and constant eating create a fertile soil for disease. Dr. Jason Fung is a physician, author, and researcher. His groundbreaking science-based books about diabetes and obesity, The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting have sold over one million copies and challenged the conventional wisdom that diabetics should be treated with insulin. Dr. Fung is also the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse Type 2 Diabetes naturally with fasting. His work on fasting has been cited by CNN, Time, The Atlantic, Forbes, The Toronto Star, and many other media outlets. His latest book is The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery. Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1976 and did his postdoctoral fellowship at the Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Seyfried has over 150 peer-reviewed publications, and his research focuses primarily on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases and calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their prevention and treatment. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer and presently serves on the Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro editorial boards.

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've learned as both a coach and a client: you can't build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation. I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense training or dieting. Most of us try to skip this part because we're in a hurry to see results. I get it. I used to be the impatient one who wanted the plan, the strategy, and the visible progress right away. But rushing your transformation is the fastest way to end up starting over again and again. In this episode, I break down what the “foundation phase” actually looks like, including how we assess metabolism using SHREDS and why stabilizing sleep, hunger cues, digestion, energy, stress, and recovery is non-negotiable. I share why this phase can feel slow and why that slow work is what makes everything that comes after actually stick. I also walk through the three phases of a healthy nutrition journey and how to know which phase you're truly ready for. This is about building a body that can handle real life. Vacations, busy seasons, holidays, stress, and everything in between. When your foundation is strong, you don't fall apart when your routine changes. You adapt and you bounce back. If you've been feeling frustrated with slow progress, this episode may be the reframe you needed. Take a breath — you might just be pouring the concrete.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor take a trip to the past when Dr. Cooper didn't have many supporters in medicine. She shares what it was like to be ridiculed by her peers, why she refused to give up on her patients, and how her science-based approach to metabolism was finally validated by mainstream medicine.Hear the raw, unfiltered story of resilience, patient advocacy, and scientific discovery that led Dr. Cooper from being dismissed as “voodoo” to blazing a trail for real metabolic health.Key Questions Answered:Why did so many in the medical community reject Dr. Cooper's methods—like challenging “calories in, calories out”—when she started treating metabolic issues?What does the rise of GLP-1 medications reveal about the true science behind appetite, metabolism, and weight?How did Dr. Cooper hold onto her integrity and keep practicing effective, patient-centered medicine despite overwhelming opposition?When does medical “common sense” get replaced by real science, and what does that mean for anyone struggling with diets that fail?Key Takeaways:Progress means facing skepticism. Dr. Cooper was once called a "voodoo doctor" and even yelled at by other physicians for her scientific methods, but results spoke louder than her critics. Metabolism is personal and complex—restrictive diets and “eat less, move more” advice often backfire. Hormonal science and careful patient tracking revealed why old rules failed. Persistent curiosity and data-driven practice, not popularity, eventually shift the culture. Dr. Cooper leaned on a “matrix” of metabolic markers long before these tests were commonplace. GLP-1 medications (like Byetta and Victoza) have moved from obscure tools to mainstream, validating Dr. Cooper's approach to treating the whole metabolic system. True healing means fueling, not restricting. “Eating more,” not less, was key to metabolic recovery for many patients—a radical, often ridiculed idea that's now supported by science and real-world clinical data from thousands of patients.Patient stories mirror the medical journey—today, both patients and providers can look back and realize that “voodoo” was simply science ahead of its time. Dr. Cooper's Actionable Tips:Question easy answers—when in doubt, follow the data, not tradition.Find a provider who listens, tests, and adapts treatment to you—not just your weight or a number on a scale.Remember that real science can be lonely before it's mainstream. Trust progress, even when it feels slow.Celebrate freedom from food guilt; focus on nourishment, steady energy, and self-compassion, not dieting extremes.Notable Quote:“It does make you feel lonely because you feel like there's no one to talk to, but it was always about doing right by the science and by my patients.” — Dr. Emily CooperFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

This is a Fan Fav episode. It's becoming more and more evident there are a host of things women are dealing with that not only destroy our bodies, but they also destroy our confidence and ability to show up and go as hard as we want. Dr. Gabrielle Lyons, a functional medicine physician and muscle-centric advocate for metabolic health and longevity, shares startling data that 73% of people are either overweight or obese. If you're a woman dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and gut issues, chances are you are absolutely struggling with your weight. This episode is for you today if you've been fixated and obsessing over cutting calories, doing more cardio, and resorting to starving during the day only to binge eat at night. Let's be honest, there's a bunch of crap being marketed to us and deciphering reliable information from BS myths and none-evidence-based beliefs shared from ulterior motives and political agendas is making a lot of people feel hopeless, overwhelmed and confused. Let's end that crap right here. Key areas of re-information we're focusing on in this episode include: Cycles of crash dieting are absolutely destroying your health Move away from the fat phobic model to an empowering muscle centric model Health at any size is devastating people and is not that same as loving yourself Follow Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: Website: https://drgabriellelyon.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPQJeWz4pvccA3lIoZ7j1Q Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgabriellelyon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon/ Podcast: https://drgabriellelyon.com/podcast/ Original air date: 3-13-23 CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.

In a story from ancient Greek philosophy, Hercules faces a choice between two paths: one promising pleasure and ease; the other, hardship and struggle — but also growth and greatness. According to today's guest, this ancient parable is more relevant than ever.Dr. Paul Taylor, a psychophysiologist and the author of the new book The Hardiness Effect, returns to the show to argue that comfort has become our default mode — and it's making us mentally and physically sick. To reclaim health and meaning, we must actively choose the path of arete — a life of effort, engagement, and challenge.Paul first outlines the four traits that define a psychologically hardy person and how we grow by embracing and even relishing discomfort. We then dive into the physiological side of hardiness. We discuss how intentionally seeking stressors can strengthen both body and mind and some of the practices and protocols that lead to optimal health. We end our conversation with what tackling heroic, Herculean labors looks like today.Resources Related to the PodcastPaul's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #941 — How to Avoid Death by ComfortAoM Podcast #1,087: Why You Need the Good Stress of SocializingAoM Podcast #793: The New Science of Metabolism and Weight Loss with Herman PontzerThe Choice of Hercules AoM podcast on the benefits of sunlight"Don't Die: Eat More Small Fish" by Michael EasterAoM Article: Nature's Prescription — The 20-5-3 Rule for Spending Time OutdoorsNorwegian 4X4 HIIT ProtocolAoM article on Zone 2 CardioOmega-3 testingConnect With Paul TaylorPaul's websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
