Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/What if your ovaries influence your metabolism, inflammation, sleep, and long-term health, not just your ability to have children? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD speaks with reproductive biologist and Celmatix founder Dr. Piraye Beim about the emerging field of ovarian health.Dr. Beim explains why the ovary should be understood as a metabolic, immune, and endocrine organ that communicates with tissues throughout the body. She reveals what may happen when ovarian function begins declining, why perimenopause can feel so sudden, and how those changes may influence weight, insulin signaling, inflammation, and healthy aging.The conversation also explores AMH and ovarian reserve, the overlooked 300-day process behind egg development, and the experimental treatments scientists are developing to regulate ovarian function and potentially extend ovarian health.Dr. Beim also shares practical ways women can support the ovarian function they have today, including reducing smoking and toxin exposure, managing inflammation, protecting sleep, getting appropriate morning light, exercising, and supporting metabolic health.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why ovarian health affects much more than fertility• How ovarian function interacts with metabolism and inflammation• Why weight management can become harder during perimenopause• What high or low AMH may reveal about ovarian function• How PCOS and endometriosis can affect ovarian health• Why sleep and light exposure matter for hormone signaling• Whether lifestyle changes may influence ovarian aging• What the future of fertility and menopause treatment could look likeThe AMH-mimicking treatment discussed in this conversation remains experimental and is still being developed.Dr. Taz and Dr. Beim also discuss PCOS, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, fertility treatments, and the overlooked 300-day process behind the development of an egg. Dr. Beim shares how Celmatix is developing an experimental therapy designed to mimic AMH and potentially regulate how quickly ovarian follicles are used over a woman's lifetime.If you have struggled with fertility, PCOS, painful periods, perimenopause, menopause, unexplained weight changes, or low AMH, this conversation offers a new way to understand the connection between your ovaries and your overall health.The AMH-mimicking treatment discussed in this episode is still under development and has not been proven or approved to extend ovarian function in humans.About Dr. Piraye Beim:Dr. Piraye Beim is a reproductive biologist, women's health innovator, and founder and CEO of Celmatix. For more than 20 years, she has worked to advance the scientific understanding of female biology, fertility, ovarian aging, and reproductive health. Through Celmatix, she is helping pioneer the field of ovarian health and develop new therapies intended to improve fertility care, regulate ovarian function, and support women's health across the lifespan.

Welcome to Episode 323 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, I'm joined by returning guest Beth Lambert, Executive Director of Documenting Hope and author of A Compromised Generation. After more than two decades immersed in children's health, Beth is more hopeful than ever. Why? The science has changed. Our understanding of the microbiome, nervous system, metabolism, environmental stressors, and other contributors to chronic childhood conditions has exploded. More practitioners are applying this knowledge clinically. And more parents are sharing stories of children making remarkable progress. But having more information and more options doesn't necessarily make a parent's job easier. In fact, it can make discernment even more important. Your child is unique. There is no universal roadmap, perfect practitioner, or silver bullet. The opportunity is to gather good information and support while becoming increasingly clear about what makes sense for your child. We also explore something parents can easily overlook: you are part of your child's environment. Your nervous system, energy, decisions, consistency, and ability to regulate matter. Supporting yourself isn't taking attention away from your child. It can be foundational to helping your child feel safe and thrive. Beth also shares why in-person community can be so powerful and what she's most excited about at Documenting Hope's upcoming Health & Healing Expo in Orlando, November 21-22. The future is changing quickly. There are more reasons for hope, more tools available, and more possibilities opening up for families. The secret this week is… Healing Is More Possible Than You Think You'll Discover: Why there's more reason for hope than ever before (1:26) Why YOU are your child's most important decision-maker (7:00) Why commitment beats chasing the next intervention (15:42) How community can create unexpected breakthroughs (23:05) Why the future of children's health could look radically different (32:48) About Our Guest: Beth Lambert is a former healthcare consultant and teacher. As a consultant, she worked with pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic, and other healthcare companies to evaluate industry trends. She is the author of A Compromised Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America's Children and co-author of Brain Under Attack: A Resource for Parents and Caregivers of Children with PANS, PANDAS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis. Beth founded Epidemic Answers in 2009 and currently serves as Executive Director of Documenting Hope. She attended Oxford University, graduated from Williams College, and holds a Master's Degree in American Studies from Fairfield University. www.beth-lambert.com/documenting-hope References in this Episode: Health & Healing Expo by Documenting Hope, November 21–22, 2026 | Orlando, Florida + Virtual Healing Together by Documenting Hope A Compromised Generation by Beth Lambert Brain Under Attack by Beth Lambert Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.com If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

Brad Kearns: Muscle, Metabolism & Why Doing More Stops Working After 40 What if the habits that once made you fitter are now keeping you stuck? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Brad Kearns for a conversation about healthy aging, metabolic resilience, muscle health, recovery, and why many active adults over 40 discover that simply training harder and doing more no longer produces the results it once did. As we move through midlife, the goal isn't just to exercise more or burn more calories. We need to create the right signals that allow the body to adapt, repair, build, and become more resilient. In this episode, we discuss: Why metabolism and recovery can change in midlife Why maintaining and building muscle becomes increasingly important as we age The difference between productive training stress and chronic overload Metabolic flexibility and its role in performance and longevity Endurance training: when it builds resilience and when too much can work against you Why recovery is part of the training equation—not something separate from it How active adults can train smarter to stay strong, fit, and capable for decades to come Shifting from the "do more" mindset toward sending the right signals in the right order This episode is especially relevant for runners, cyclists, triathletes, CrossFit athletes, weekend warriors, and other high-performing adults who want to continue doing what they love as they age. Your body isn't simply responding to how hard you train. It's responding to the combination of signals it receives from training, nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery, movement, and your environment. The goal is not just fitness today. It's building the resilience you'll need for your FutureYou™. Join Us at Hack Your Health 2026 I'm excited to be part of the Hack Your Health Conference this November, bringing together experts in metabolism, nutrition, longevity, performance, functional medicine, and healthy aging.

What if losing weight is actually making your metabolism worse? JJ Virgin has spent more than 40 years studying nutrition, fitness, and metabolism. She's a four-time New York Times bestselling author who has helped millions of people lose fat, build muscle, and improve their health. And she believes we've been taught to think about weight loss completely wrong. In her new book, The Metabolism Fix, JJ explains why getting lighter doesn't necessarily mean you're getting healthier. Losing the wrong kind of weight can leave you weaker, slow your metabolism, and make it easier to regain fat. So why does metabolism seem to slow as we get older? Why can dieting repeatedly make the problem worse? Is cardio actually helping you lose body fat? And what are GLP-1 medications really doing to your muscle? JJ also explains why the number on your scale may be one of the least useful ways to measure your progress, and what you should be paying attention to instead..

If your body suddenly seems to be playing by a completely different set of rules in perimenopause or menopause, this episode is for you! For the first time ever on Optimal Metabolism, I am welcoming back a three-peat guest! Cynthia Thurlow, NP, is a two-time TEDx speaker, international speaker, bestselling author, and host of the Everyday Wellness podcast. Her viral TEDx talk on intermittent fasting has surpassed 15 million views, and she has become a leading voice in women's metabolic health, perimenopause, menopause, and intermittent fasting. Cynthia joins me to discuss her latest book, The Menopause Gut: Balance Your Microbiome to Reclaim Your Health in Midlife and Beyond. We're digging into the connection between declining estrogen and the microbiome—and why changes in your gut may affect everything from insulin resistance and stubborn weight gain to inflammation, energy, sleep, brain health, and hormone balance. If you've been eating healthy, exercising, fasting, and doing all the things that used to work—but your body isn't responding the same way anymore—this conversation may help explain why. WHAT WE DISCUSS: Why the gut becomes increasingly important as estrogen declines How the microbiome changes during perimenopause and menopause The connection between gut health, insulin resistance, and blood sugar Why stubborn weight gain in midlife isn't simply about calories or willpower What the microgenderome is and why women should know about it Why digestive problems and food sensitivities can suddenly appear after 40 The estrobolome and the relationship between gut health and estrogen metabolism How chronic stress can influence the gut and the menopause transition Why sleep and circadian rhythm matter for gut and metabolic health The gut-brain connection and why anxiety and brain fog can increase during midlife How gut and hormonal changes may influence immune health and autoimmunity Why extreme dieting and exercise strategies may stop working in midlife Practical ways women can begin supporting their microbiome and metabolism ABOUT CYNTHIA THURLOW, NP Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, two-time TEDx speaker, international speaker, and founder and CEO of the Everyday Wellness Project.

For women who care about their health and are already paying attention to what they put in their bodies, skincare should be straightforward. It is not — because the information online is loud, contradictory, and often more driven by fear than evidence. In this episode, triple board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mamina Turegano cuts through all of it: the sunscreen myths, the ingredient fears, the products not worth spending money on, and what your skin actually needs to stay healthy long-term. Dr. Mamina Turegano is a triple board-certified dermatologist, internist, and dermatopathologist based in New Orleans — one of the only physicians in the country who holds all three certifications. She specializes in medical, cosmetic, and integrative dermatology, blending conventional and holistic approaches to skin health. With over 2 million followers across social media, she co-hosts the Skin Deep MDs podcast, has been published in leading medical journals, and brings the same evidence-based, no-fearmongering approach to everything she touches. What's Discussed: The one skincare step that outperforms everything else — and why consistency is the only metric that matters   SPF 30 vs. SPF 50 vs. SPF 100 — what the actual coverage difference is, what Dr. Mamina recommends for daily use, and the honest answer to "which sunscreen is best"   What three separate board certifications give Dr. Mamina that a standard dermatologist cannot offer — and why the internist lens changes how she reads skin from the inside out   The skincare categories you never need to spend money on — cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen do not need to be expensive   The face-washing take that would make most of the internet mad — and why she stands by it completely   What stress does to your skin at a biological level: cortisol, oil composition, inflammation, and why the cascade matters for women who are chronically under load   The benzene-in-sunscreen scare of 2022 — what actually happened, what the levels meant in context, and why the fear grew bigger than the evidence warranted   The sunscreen-causes-skin-cancer myth — debunked, with the ice cream and shark bites analogy that puts it in perspective   Chemical vs. mineral sunscreen: the endocrine disruption concern, what the animal studies actually show, and who should consider switching to zinc-based   Why sunscreen does not cause low vitamin D — and what is actually driving the low vitamin D epidemic   Toxic and problematic skincare ingredients — what to look for and what to avoid   Bacne and skin issues specific to women who train   Fungal breakouts — how to tell the difference from bacterial acne and what to do about it   What movement does for your skin at a cellular level   The link between metabolic health and skin   Ready for coaching that builds around your training and your health?

What if the reason your health plan keeps failing is not a lack of discipline but a strategy never designed for your body? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Angelo Poli, Founder of MetPro and Author of MetPro: The Science to Transform, who explains why generic diets and standardized fitness advice often fail to deliver sustainable results. He explains how metabolic profiling uses individual data, ongoing feedback, and personalized adjustments to identify which nutrition and fitness strategies will produce the most progress. Angelo also reveals why busy entrepreneurs should rely less on willpower and instead build scientifically informed routines that yield the greatest results with the least wasted time. Key Takeaways:→ Every person responds differently to nutrition and exercise. → Metabolic profiling assesses a person's starting point and identifies the specific adjustments needed to improve body composition, energy, and performance. → A perceived “slow metabolism” may be influenced by how the body has adapted to a person's long-term habits. → Busy entrepreneurs are often derailed when their schedules become overwhelming, making a reliable routine more valuable than temporary motivation.→ The most effective health strategy focuses on actions that deliver the greatest return without unnecessary effort. Angelo Poli is the founder of MetPro and the author of MetPro: The Science to Transform. For more than 20 years, he's helped entrepreneurs, executives, professional athletes, and high performers optimize energy, body composition, performance, and longevity. His work centers on a simple idea: performance isn't just about training harder. It's about understanding how your metabolism adapts to stress, recovery, fueling, and workload over time. That's why strategies that work at one stage of training often stop working at the next. After a serious injury left him walking with a cane for nearly a decade, Angelo became obsessed with understanding what truly drives lasting transformation. That pursuit ultimately led to the creation of MetPro and a methodology that has helped more than 20,000 people achieve sustainable results.

Welcome to the eighth and final episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today, I sit down with Coach Rae to talk about something we don't see many functional health companies address: relationship with food. We dig into why diet culture and social media have made it so hard for women to feel at peace with food, from the Britney Spears waist era to today's constant stream of body trends. Coach Rae shares the signs she looks for when a client's relationship with food might need extra attention, from fear of carbs to being afraid to keep certain foods in the house. We talk about why functional health can't just be labs, meal plans, and supplements, and why the mindset work around food fear matters just as much as the physical protocols. Rae walks us through how she approaches clients with real GI symptoms who are afraid to eat, including how elimination diets can help separate true food sensitivities from fear driven reactions. She also opens up about her own twenty plus year journey with food and control, and why curiosity with yourself is often the starting point for change. We then talk through the personality patterns she sees most often, the anxious perfectionists who feel safest when they're in control of their food, and why that sense of control can actually make your nervous system more fragile over time. Rae reminds listeners that struggling with food isn't about a lack of discipline, and that healing is possible no matter how long you've felt stuck. This is a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build freedom and peace with food.

ZOE nutritionist Dr. Federica Amati explains why basal metabolic rate barely changes in perimenopause, but postprandial metabolism does, glucose, fat, insulin, and inflammation stay elevated longer after meals, partly via gut microbiome shifts. She unpacks why "thin" can mask sarcopenic obesity, why calorie labels carry ~20% error, why a nutrient-dense breakfast curbs cravings, and why a 70,000-woman ZOE study saw a 35% symptom drop from diet changes alone. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Why basal metabolic rate isn't the problem in perimenopause, but postprandial metabolism is - What's actually driving new midsection fat storage as estrogen declines - Why calorie counting fails as a long-term strategy, from label error to the food matrix effect - How satiety hormones like GLP-1, PYY, and GIP shift after menopause, and why breakfast is the highest-leverage meal of the day - Why looking thin doesn't mean you're metabolically healthy, and what sarcopenic obesity reveals about muscle as an organ - What HRT actually changes about your metabolism, muscle mass, and visceral fat, and what it doesn't - How a 70,000-woman study found a 35% drop in menopause symptoms from diet changes alone, and why brain fog improved most TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Intro 08:00 – Inside ZOE's Age-Matched Study: Why Postprandial Metabolism Shifts After Menopause 16:00 – Same Meal, Different Response: Satiety Hormones, Carb Cravings & Why Under-Eating Backfires 25:00 – Weight Set Point, Calorie Quality & the Sarcopenic Obesity Trap 34:00 – Why Calorie Counting Fails: Label Error, Nutrient Absorption & the Food Matrix Effect 40:00 – The 70,000-Woman Study: A 35% Symptom Drop From Diet Alone (and Why Breakfast Matters Most) 45:00 – What HRT Actually Does (and Doesn't Do) for Metabolism, Muscle & Visceral Fat 52:00 – Building Your Metabolic Buffer Before Menopause in an Obesogenic World VALUABLE RESOURCES Dr Federica Amati's new book: The Appetite ResetHow appetite really works, what GLP-1 medications are actually doing in the body, and how to eat to support your natural appetite signals, on medication or not.

What does it mean to be free? That is one of life's biggest questions, and has occupied the minds of philosophers for time immemorial. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? Hangry? Post-meal slumps? Type II diabetic? These are all examples of the opposite - metabolic imprisonment. That's why we decided to revisit this episode with Ben Azadi to rediscover what it means to be free of this "prison", some of you find yourselves in.Ben is an incredible advocate for metabolic health, someone who walks the talk with his own pain to purpose story and someone who has made a personal impact on a member of my family.In 2008, Ben Azadi was an obese man who went through a personal health transformation of releasing 80 pounds of extra weight, and getting metabolically healthy. Ever since, Ben Azadi, FDN-P, has been on a mission to help 1 billion people live a healthier lifestyle. Ben has over 15 years of experience in the health industry, and he's the author of four best-selling books, including his latest Keto Flex. Ben has been the go-to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet since 2013. He is known as ‘The Health Detective' because he investigates dysfunction, and he educates, not medicates, to bring the body back to normal function. Ben is the founder of Keto Kamp; a global brand bringing awareness to ancient healing strategies such as the keto diet and fasting. Get his new book “Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat” NOW, https://tinyurl.com/metabolic-freedomJoin us as we explore:Everything about metabolism - what it is, how it works, can it be “slow” or “fast”, why it becomes dysfunctional and the most important signals of sub-optimal metabolism.An incredible study that exposes the “I'm getting old equals weight gain” myth, and why you can actually have the same metabolism at 90 as you had in your 20s.Fasting insulin, why it's critically important in metabolism and the difference between being metabolically free and being an imprisoned “sugar burner”. The scientifically-proven power of “vitamin G”.Ben's top biohacks to bolster metabolism.Contact:Website: www.benazadi.com  Instagram: @thebenazadi Mention:Study - Pontzer H, et al,.

Send a text for comments or topics ideas! Have you ever felt like your body suddenly changed after 40?Your skin looks different. Your metabolism doesn't seem to respond the way it used to. Stress hits harder. Recovery takes longer. And the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s don't always work anymore.In this episode of the Direction Not Perfection Podcast, Lindsey sits down with Jonathan Carp, MD, a dermatologist and lifestyle medicine physician, to explore what may be happening beneath the surface.Dr. Carp takes a practical, sustainable approach to health and focuses on the connection between skin health, nutrition, stress physiology, aging, and lifestyle. His perspective challenges us to look beyond quick fixes and become more informed participants in our own health.Together, Lindsey and Dr. Carp explore why aging can feel so different after 40—and what our skin may be able to teach us about the aging process as a whole.

Why do we crave some foods the more often we eat them? Are we addicted?Dr. Dana Small's research suggests that food craving reaches far beyond taste or willpower, and that “addiction” isn't a helpful descriptor. Every time we eat, unconscious signals from the body teach the brain which foods deliver useful nutrients, and train us to want more of those. In other words, we don't eat crave foods because they taste good; foods taste good because our body craves them.Understanding that means we can rethink overeating. It's not a matter of addiction or self-control; it's our body behaving the way nature intended it to, but in the setting of foods not found in the wild, like those high in both fat and carbohydrates. But we may also be able to train our brain away from these cravings.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠What We CoverTaste vs. flavor, pleasure, motivation, and food rewardHow gut nutrient signals teach the brain which foods to seekWhy fat + carbs produce an unusually strong reward responseWhat eight weeks of high-fat, high-sugar snacks did to the brainHow GLP-1s may cut food wanting while preserving pleasure

Dr. Paule Valery Joseph is a tenured Senior Investigator at the National Institutes of Health, where she leads the Section of Sensory Science and Metabolism and co-directs the NIH National Smell and Taste Center. Born in Guatire, Venezuela to Haitian professionals, she came to the United States alone at sixteen, finding her footing first in Miami and later in New Jersey. Her journey began humbly — at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, where she earned her first nursing degree — and reached all the way to a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, alongside a family nurse practitioner degree and an executive MBA. She speaks of adversity and opposition not as things that break us but as forces that shape us “at a cellular level,” a conviction deepened by watching her home country's turbulence during the Chávez years from afar. Her NIH career began, fittingly, with an internship. Today she is a leading authority on the science of smell and taste — and how these senses shape metabolism, memory, and health — a power she knows firsthand, having once teared up at the aroma of a classic Venezuelan dish far from home.

In 2009, medical student Shebani Sethi watched a patient in a weight loss program make a remarkable recovery. The dietary intervention she underwent alleviated her schizophrenia symptoms, something the woman had tried – and failed – to treat with medication for years. That experience sent Shebani down a medical path that would lead her to treating mental health in a radically different way. Today host Emily Kwong talks to Shebani about the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry and how ketogenic metabolic therapy may treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.Read Shebani's article on metabolic psychiatry here.Interested in more lifestyle science?

Dr. Joey Munoz is a nutrition and fitness expert with a PhD in nutritional sciences who helps people cut through the noise around weight loss, metabolism, and training to build healthier, stronger bodies without extreme diets or unsustainable routines.In this episode, Joey joins me to break down the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose weight and why doing “everything right” can sometimes leave you feeling more frustrated with your body. We talk about why you can actually become more critical of your appearance as you get closer to your goals, the concept of perception drift, and how to get leaner and change your body composition without necessarily losing more weight. He shares the order of operations he recommends for anyone who wants to change their body, what to prioritize in the gym as we age, and the habits people who effortlessly maintain a lean physique tend to have in common.We also get into the truth about calories and metabolism, whether yo-yo dieting really damages your metabolism, why low-carb diets often backfire, how to use macros without becoming obsessive, and why breakfast may matter more than you think. Joey shares practical ways to actually hit your protein goals, the supplements that are worth your money, the diet and fitness trends he thinks are completely overrated, and his prescription for what to do when you feel like you're doing everything right but still aren't seeing results.Thanks to my sponsors:Go to boncharge.com and use coupon code BLONDE to save 15%Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code BLONDEHead to paleovalley.com/well or use code well at checkout for 15% off your first purchaseGo to Quince.com/BLONDE.

Today we are doing something we have never done before.Once a month, members of The Metabolic Initiative get an hour to put their own questions directly to the scientists and clinicians at the forefront of metabolic health. Those sessions stay inside the platform. This one does not.After Dr. Ben Bikman joined us for episode 100, the questions kept coming. So we invited him back to sit with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and MHI co-founder Victoria Field for a live member Q&A, and for the first time we are releasing the full session publicly.What came out of it: GLP-1 medications and the muscle loss debate, and how Ben's own position on these drugs has shifted. Insulin resistance and ceramides. Exogenous ketones, and when they may actually be useful. Metabolic approaches to cancer and the glucose ketone index. Exercise timing. Type 1 diabetes. Cortisol and fat distribution. Supplements.Questions Answered in This Episode:The muscle loss debate around GLP-1s has become polarized. Should clinicians be worried about muscle loss, muscle function, or neither?If you were diagnosed with cancer, are there any metabolic therapies you would start immediately?How long can it take for ceramides in adipose tissue to resolve — and insulin resistance to improve?Bioidentical D-BHB exogenous ketones are substantially more expensive. What is the value proposition over other forms?GLP-1 receptor agonists consistently raise resting heart rate. Is that something to be concerned about?Are there any emerging approaches to improving the management of type 1 diabetes?What happens metabolically, and to fat cells, glucose and ketones, when taking corticosteroids?This is the kind of conversation we host every month inside The Metabolic Initiative, alongside expert presentations from our conferences and a library built entirely around metabolic health and therapy, with CME credit available on eligible content for healthcare providers.If you want to be in the room for the next one, the first seven days are free. membership.metabolicinitiative.comSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:Genova Connect: Get 15% off any Genova Connect test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.Cowboy Colostrum: Get up to 25% off with code METABOLIC here.More LinksDr. Ben Bikman's website: benbikman.comInsulin IQ: insuliniq.comYouTube: youtube.com/@benbikmanInstagram: @benbikmanphdIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

For way too long, I thought training more meant training better. Six or seven days a week, sometimes twice a day, because if I wasn't pushing my limits, was I even making progress? I see this all the time now. People grinding through back-to-back workouts, ignoring the signals their bodies are screaming at them. Constant fatigue, stubborn plateaus, weird little injuries that just won't go away. And for what? More isn't always better. In fact, sometimes, it's the very thing holding you back. I used to think I had to train like an athlete to see results—until my body literally forced me to slow the hell down. The truth is, real progress happens in the recovery, not just in the reps. And if you're stuck, exhausted, or just not seeing the changes you expected… it might be time to rethink your approach. In today's episode, I'm breaking it all down. We'll talk about the signs of overtraining—like constant fatigue, plateaus, and mood swings—and why they happen in the first place. I'll explain how too much exercise can actually mess with your strength, metabolism, and hormones, making it harder to see results. And, most importantly, I'll show you why rest days are just as critical as your workouts and how you can train smarter (not just harder) to get stronger, feel better, and actually make progress. If you've ever felt guilty for taking a rest day, or wondered why your workouts aren't hitting the same way anymore… this episode is for you! Because here's the deal: training smarter > training more. And learning to listen to your body? That's where the real gains happen.

Welcome to the seventh episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today I'm joined by Coach Lindsay, and we're getting real about what's actually not working in the functional health space, even when practitioners mean well.  We break down five major red flags to watch for, starting with practitioners who don't address nutrition beyond a generic food list. We talk about why using supplements as a bandaid, without digging into the root cause, just becomes another quick fix that doesn't actually heal anything.  Coach Lindsay shares her own health journey, including how infrequent check ins with her provider left her feeling stuck and unsure of her progress.  We also get into why rigid diet plans can backfire by teaching your body to adapt rather than building real metabolic flexibility. And we can't talk about functional health without talking about training, so we cover why using the right training stimulus matters just as much as nutrition and supplements when it comes to hitting your goals.  If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why, and what a more complete approach to healing actually looks like. Lindsay brings so much heart and expertise to this conversation, and I know it's going to help so many of you see your own health journey differently.   Time Stamps:   (1:54) What's Not Working Within Functional Health (4:12) More Advanced Nutrition Concepts (8:09) Gut Health (9:02) Questions To Ask Your Practitioner (10:19) Supplements Are Band Aid Fix (15:37) Frequency of Communication (20:20) Flexibility With The Strategy (27:47) Training As A Stimulus ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

Five signs of fatty liver that are easy to miss, because they look like ordinary life. Nurse Doza walks through low energy, weight around the midsection, a fast-food pattern, hormone symptoms, and gallbladder issues, and explains what each one suggests about the liver underneath. Plus the two labs worth asking your provider about, the foods that ease the load, and where to start. Nothing here is a diagnosis. Featured Product Liver Boost (Detox) — $111 Liver Boost is a comprehensive formula designed to support phase I and phase II liver detoxification, with nutrients that support your antioxidant systems and glutathione production. If this episode had you thinking about how much your liver handles in a day — fats, blood sugar, and everything your body needs to clear out — this is the formula built to support that work while you make the diet and lifestyle changes that move the needle. It is not a replacement for those changes.

Do you ever wonder how medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro influence your metabolic health? Dr. Emily Cooper, along with Andrea Taylor and Mark Wright, dives into listener questions about maintaining metabolic health when medication coverage is lost, understanding the role of leptin after weight loss, and the effects of medications like Mounjaro. They also explore the injection site reactions and the complex interplay between thyroid, exercise, and inflammation.KEY TAKEAWAYSLoss of medication insurance coverage can significantly impact treatment, but alternative options like pills may be available.Leptin levels differ by gender; they're naturally lower in men due to different body composition.Fasting can disrupt hunger signals and glucose regulation, particularly following intermittent fasting.Injection site reactions are common but switching medications or techniques might alleviate symptoms.NOTABLE QUOTE"Obesity is a physical sign of underlying metabolic dysfunction." — Dr. Emily CooperLINKS & RESOURCESTo register for course: https://learn.diabesityinstitute.org/products/live_events/live-virtual-update-eventLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: fatsciencepodcast.comCooper Center for Metabolism: coopermetabolic.comResources from Dr. Cooper: coopermetabolic.com/resourcesJoin Our Community: patreon.com/cw/FatSciencePodcastSubmit Your Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comFat Science is supported by the Diabesity Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to effective, science-based metabolic care.This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

What if one of cancer's greatest vulnerabilities is hiding in plain sight?On this episode of Sugar Crush: The Rest of the Story, Dr. Rick Jacoby tackles one of the biggest subjects of the series: cancer and metabolism—and explores the long history behind scientists' understanding of how many cancer cells use glucose.The journey begins nearly a century ago with Nobel Prize-winning scientist Otto Warburg, whose research revealed that cancer cells frequently rely heavily on glucose metabolism even when oxygen is available—a phenomenon that became known as the Warburg effect. Dr. Rick then brings the conversation forward to the work of Thomas Seyfried and the modern debate over viewing cancer, at least in part, through a metabolic lens. But Dr. Rick takes the discussion in his own direction.Drawing on decades of experience with diabetic neuropathy, nerve decompression and microsurgery, he connects the Double Crush Theory to his own broader Global Compression Theory and introduces the concept of the “estuary”—areas where he believes impaired circulation, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction and tissue damage may converge.Using the Mississippi River's dead zone as his metaphor, Dr. Rick asks whether similar biological “dead zones” could develop throughout the body—and whether those environments might contribute to disease.

What if your metabolism isn't broken—but responding to the signals it's receiving? Welcome to The FutureYou Blueprint™ PNOĒ Metabolic Patterns™ Series, where Debbie Potts explores the five common metabolic patterns identified through advanced PNOĒ Metabolism Testing. In each episode, you'll discover how stress, nutrition, muscle health, hormones, blood sugar, digestion, sleep, recovery, and lifestyle all influence how your body produces and uses energy. Learn why two people can follow the same diet or exercise plan and experience completely different results—and why identifying your unique metabolic pattern is the foundation of a personalized strategy for improving metabolism, performance, healthy aging, and longevity. Whether you're an athlete, health enthusiast, or practitioner, this educational series will help you better understand the science of metabolism and the power of personalized metabolic testing. Ready to discover your metabolic pattern?

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Roger Seheult, MD, is a physician quadruple board-certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease, critical care medicine, and sleep medicine, an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University, and the co-founder of MedCram. Today, he explains why vitamin D levels strongly predicted COVID-19 outcomes while vitamin D supplementation largely failed to reproduce the benefit, and makes the case that vitamin D is a marker for sunlight exposure rather than the primary mechanism behind it. He describes the near-infrared portion of sunlight which penetrates through the human body, and the hypothesis that it stimulates melatonin produced inside mitochondria, where it acts as a local antioxidant. We discuss randomized trials of infrared light in hospitalized and ICU patients, why greenery reflects infrared while concrete absorbs it, the Green Heart Louisville tree-planting trial, evidence that bright light at night predicts higher mortality, the NEWSTART framework, the Adventist Health Study, and published research on faith, forgiveness, and health. FULL SHOW NOTES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJxnUa3ifCtHbE11v3iQwgTD1-nQD90-PttuS5NN640/edit?usp=sharing Sponsor: Solius https://shop.solius.com/JONATHANJ Code: JONATHANJ   About this guest:Med Cram: https://www.medcram.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG-iSMVtWbbwDDXgXXypARQ X: https://x.com/rogerseheult?lang=en Academic Profile: https://llu.edu/academics/faculty/seheult-roger/education Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://jonathanjarecki.substack.com/Timestamps 00:00 Intro02:29 Dr. Roger Seheult02:59 Dr. Seheult's Love for Science and Medicine10:41 Pillars of Health, "NEWSTART"13:11 Sunlight, COVID, Vitamin-D Paradox, Dr. Seheult's Clinical Experience17:08 Extra-pineal Melatonin, Antioxidant, COVID, ACE2 Receptor, Red Light18:50 Bringing Patients Outside in Sunlight20:05 Sponsor: Solius25:14 Melatonin, Infrared Light27:13 Heliotherapy, Sunlight in Modern Hospitals,  Dr. Rollier, John Harvey Kellogg33:18 Mitochondria, Long-Wavelength Light, Metabolism, Light Penetration Depth36:03 Greenery, Infrared Light Bath, Longevity, New Data, MiEye42:29 Audience Questions42:41 Sunlight on Psychological Health43:47 Artificial Light at Night, Longevity, Mortality47:32 Cloud Coverage, Light Exposure49:40 New Paper Being Published with Dr. Seheult, Dr. Jeffery, Dr. Fosbury, & Zimmerman 50:37 Nutrition53:28 Adventist Health Study, Plant-Based Nutrition, Mechanisms of Action, High Protein01:01:15 Trust: The Science-Backed Health Benefits of Faith01:19:28 Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow, Reviews & Feedback, Social Media, Substack Newsletter

Metabolic health is far more nuanced than conventional nutrition advice suggests. On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance and Principal Scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with Metabolic Health Expert Dr. Nick Norwitz MD PhD to discuss why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools for improving long-term health. Dr. Nick Norwitz shares how a ketogenic diet unexpectedly put his inflammatory bowel disease into remission after numerous conventional treatments had failed. This experimentation sparked a career dedicated to challenging assumptions with rigorous science and thoughtful self-experimentation. Together, Dr. Nick Norwitz and Dr. Kristen Holmes unpack the difference between "evidence-based" and truly individualized care. This episode continues to explore why muscle, sleep, and visceral fat play central roles in brain, heart, and metabolic health. From discussions on protein, the microbiome, and emerging therapies to Nick's famous Oreo-versus-statin experiment, the conversation encourages listeners to move beyond one-size-fits-all health advice, and partner with their healthcare providers to embrace safe, data-informed experimentation for a better understanding of their biology.

Think you have a slow metabolism that's making weight loss nearly impossible?You may be misunderstanding what your metabolism actually is.“My RMR is 1,700 calories. The normal amount for someone my age and size is 3,000. I guess I just have to really watch all my calories.”That message from a listener inspired today's episode.Because there's a lot of confusion around metabolism—and that confusion can leave people feeling defeated before they even begin.In this episode, Corey breaks down what metabolism actually means, what RMR and BMR measure, and why that's not the same thing as the total number of calories your body burns in a normal day.We'll cover . . .What metabolism actually meansWhat determines your resting metabolic rateHow movement and exercise fit into the calorie equationHow your body responds to calorie surpluses and deficitsWhy and how strength training plays into all of thisWhen tracking calories and macros makes senseHow to choose the approach that's best for youAnti-Diet Assessment: https://skilloversecret.com/

Healthy skin isn't built in your bathroom—it's built inside your body. While most people focus on creams, collagen powders, and cosmetic treatments, the biggest drivers of wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity are happening at the cellular level. In today's episode, I discuss: Why blood sugar may be aging your skin faster than the sun and the hidden process that damages collagen from the inside out The surprising connection between muscle, metabolism, and firmer, healthier-looking skin (especially after weight loss) How your body's natural cellular repair system helps slow the aging process and the habits that activate it The biggest everyday factors accelerating skin aging, and the science-backed strategies that help protect your skin for years to come Healthy skin isn't something you can simply apply—it's something your body creates. By improving your metabolic health, protecting collagen, building muscle, reducing inflammation, and supporting your cells, you can help your skin stay stronger, healthier, and more resilient from the inside out.

Episode Description: Your morning smoothie might be working against you. Your intermittent fasting routine might be dysregulating your hormones. And Botox, from a Chinese medicine perspective, is freezing the very nervous system pathways that keep your skin alive. Dr. Felice Chan is back on Heal Thy Self and this time the conversation happened outside, on a walk, in a rosemary bush. Dr. Felice is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner based in Los Angeles, and she connects dots between ancient medicine and modern biology in a way that stops you mid-sentence. This conversation covers breakfast, fasting, facial acupuncture, Botox, aging, and why everything in the body comes back to nervous system regulation and the rest and digest state. In this episode, you'll discover:  •  Why cold and blended foods create what Chinese medicine calls dampness in the body, how that slows metabolism and digestion, and what Dr. Felice's own smoothie habit led to after two to three months of daily use  •  Why most fasting research was done on men, what happens to a woman's cortisol and hormones when she skips breakfast, and the Chinese medicine case for a warm morning meal  •  The difference between what Botox does to the face neurologically versus what cosmetic acupuncture does, and why one freezes while the other reinvigorates Beauty from the inside out. This is what that actually looks like in practice.
