Podcasts about Metabolism

If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of losing weight, regaining it, and then starting over again, you're not alone. Today we're unpacking yo-yo dieting. Why it happens, what it does to your body, and how to finally break free. Yo-yo dieting often starts with extreme calorie restriction, leading to rapid weight loss that looks successful on the surface. But beneath the scale, your body is losing muscle, becoming inflamed, and stressing your hormones. Inevitably, the restrictive approach becomes impossible to maintain, weight creeps back on (often as fat rather than muscle), and the cycle repeats, sometimes with even greater difficulty losing weight each time. We'll dive into the hidden consequences of yo-yo dieting, from slower metabolism and muscle loss to leptin resistance, where your hunger and fullness hormones stop working properly. This not only makes weight loss harder but also increases cravings, fat storage, and frustration while taking a serious toll on mental health. But it's not all bad news. Breaking free from yo-yo dieting is possible by shifting focus from quick fixes to long-term, sustainable habits. We'll talk about the importance of fueling your body, rebuilding metabolic health, and supporting your hormones with balanced nutrition and consistency. You'll also hear about our client Kayla, who went from eating less than 1,300 calories per day without results, to eating hundreds more, feeling better than ever, and finally seeing her body respond. Her story proves that nourishment, not restriction, is the foundation for lasting health. If you're tired of the yo-yo rollercoaster, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to move toward real, sustainable change. Time Stamps: (1:21) Omar's Favorite Trait about Vanessa(4:20) Yo-Yo Dieting(5:56) Characteristics of Yo-Yo Dieting(11:56) Weight Regain(13:32) Cycle Repetition(15:42) Why Yo-Yo Dieting Doesn't Work(21:44) Leptin Resistance(31:28) Please Share This Episode---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Nagina Abdullah, weight-loss coach for midlife women and founder of the top-rated website MasalaBody.com. Nagina shares her personal journey of losing 40 pounds after years of struggling with diets that didn't work. She opens up about the power of understanding blood sugar balance, how spices like cinnamon can help reduce cravings and improve metabolism, and why focusing on adding nutritious foods works better than restriction. Nagina also introduces her slim down programs and a free metabolism-boosting workshop designed specifically for women in midlife who feel stuck and frustrated with traditional diets.

Have you ever been eating "healthy" but still struggling with bloating, fatigue, and stubborn weight that won't budge? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're diving deep into reverse dieting—the one strategy most of us probably need but have been resisting. Join us as we break down exactly what a reverse diet is, how to know if you need one, and most importantly, how to actually do it without losing your mind in the process. If you've been yo-yo dieting your whole life, eating the same amount as your toddler, or feeling like you "look at bread and gain five pounds," this conversation will completely shift how you think about food, metabolism, and sustainable health.   In this episode, you'll hear: What reverse dieting actually is (hint: it's the opposite of traditional dieting) Why under-eating shuts off the "nice to have" jobs like clear skin, healthy hormones, and good digestion Signs you probably need a reverse diet (spoiler: if you think you're under-eating, you probably are) The three possible outcomes when you reverse diet How to actually implement a reverse diet step-by-step without gaining unnecessary fat Why the maintenance phase is the hardest part (and most important) What to expect: more energy, better poops, stronger hair and nails, and actual capacity for life   Key Takeaways: Your metabolism isn't "slow"—it's adapted to doing fewer jobs because you haven't been giving it enough fuel to do them all The goal isn't to eat more forever—it's to get your metabolism functioning properly so fat loss becomes easy when you're ready for it A reverse diet is often necessary before any healing journey because your body will never prioritize healing when it's in survival mode     Want more from us?

BUFFALO, NY — August 27, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 7 of Aging (Aging-US) on July 24, 2025, titled “RNA-binding protein AUF1 suppresses cellular senescence and glycolysis by targeting PDP2 and PGAM1 mRNAs.” In this study, Hyejin Mun, Chang Hoon Shin, Mercy Kim, Jeong Ho Chang, and Je-Hyun Yoon from the University of Oklahoma and Kyungpook National University investigated how changes in cellular metabolism contribute to aging. Their findings offer potential targets for therapies aimed at slowing or reducing the effects of aging. As cells age, they often lose their ability to divide and begin releasing harmful signals that damage nearby tissues. This process, called cellular senescence, is linked to many age-related diseases. A key feature of senescent cells is their altered metabolism, where they use more glucose and oxygen, even when oxygen levels are low. This leads to the production of inflammatory substances and fatty acids, which can accelerate tissue damage. The study examined how these metabolic changes are controlled at the molecular level. Researchers found that AUF1, a protein that binds to RNA, normally helps prevent aging by breaking down two enzymes involved in glucose metabolism: PGAM1 and PDP2. When AUF1 is missing or inactive, these enzymes build up. This causes the cell to produce more energy and inflammatory molecules, which are common features of senescent cells. “Our high throughput profiling of mRNAs and proteins from Human Diploid Fibroblasts (HDFs) revealed that the expression of pyruvate metabolic enzymes is inhibited by the anti-senescent RNA-binding protein (RBP) AUF1 (AU-binding Factor 1).” The team also identified another protein, MST1, which becomes active during cellular stress and aging. MST1 modifies AUF1 in a way that stops it from doing its protective job. As a result, PGAM1 and PDP2 accumulate, leading to faster aging of the cell. Experiments using human fibroblast cells and mouse models confirmed that higher levels of these enzymes are linked to stronger signs of cellular aging. These findings improve our understanding of how metabolism affects the aging process. They highlight the MST1-AUF1-PDP2/PGAM1 pathway as a key factor in the metabolic shift seen in aging cells. Since these enzymes and proteins are already known to be involved in other diseases, existing or future therapies might be used to block this pathway and reduce the effects of aging. This study offers a new direction for senotherapy—a field focused on treating or removing aging cells. By adjusting glucose metabolism through AUF1 and its targets, scientists believe it may be possible to slow aging or limit its effects on tissue function. More research is needed, but these insights could lead to new strategies for managing age-related diseases and promoting healthier aging.

Staying lean isn't about overhauling your entire lifestyle overnight. it's about stacking small, sustainable habits that actually stick. In this episode, we dive into the everyday choices that make the biggest difference when it comes to feeling strong, energetic, and confident year-round. We start by talking about why highly satiating foods are your best friend (especially during those times when hunger seems dialed up) and how minimizing calorie-dense “extras” can keep you feeling satisfied without the crash. From there, we break down the power of a “something over nothing” mentality when it comes to resistance training because it's not about perfection, it's about consistency. You'll also hear why making physical activity a lifestyle is key. Omar shares how Spartan races with his family keep him motivated, I talk about my time riding horses, and we both agree that nothing beats a simple walk. We also unpack the sneaky calories that come from what we drink, why sleep is the real performance enhancer, and how patience and consistency are often the missing ingredients in most fitness journeys. Most importantly, we'll remind you not to obsess over the scale or occasional feelings of heaviness. Progress is much deeper than a number. And when it comes to food, just because it's free doesn't mean you have to eat it. The goal is to choose intentionally, not impulsively. If you've been searching for a realistic, non-extreme approach to staying lean, this episode will give you practical tools and a mindset shift that can last a lifetime. Time Stamps: (1:17) Omar's High and Low This Week(4:17) Ultramarathon Runner's Perspective(6:17) Fresh Spin On An Old Topic(7:08) Small Habits For Staying Lean(9:30) #1: Choose Highly Satiating Foods(13:27) #2: Resistance Train: Something Over Nothing Mentality(15:22) #3: Make Physical Activity A Lifestyle(17:45) #4: Don't Drink Our Calories(19:44) #5: Prioritize Sleep(20:28) #6: Practice Consistency and Patience(21:27) #7: Don't Obsess Over The Scale or Occasional Feelings of Heaviness(23:04) #8: Free Doesn't Mean You Need to Eat It---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In episode 294 of Fitness & Sushi, we pull back the curtain on one of diet culture's most damaging exports: The Biggest Loser. What looked like “just TV” was actually cultural programming that rewired a generation of women to believe their worth was tied to shrinking their bodies. Contestants were pushed past the point of safety, trainers used shame and abuse as “motivation,” and viewers absorbed it all as truth. The fallout? Broken metabolisms, broken trust in our bodies, and decades of food and body obsession. In this episode — Fit for TV: How The Biggest Loser Broke Us — and How We Heal — you'll learn…

Tired of dragging yourself through the day, relying on endless cups of coffee just to function?  Then you'll want to hear this conversation. This episode is all about reclaiming your sleep—and with it, your energy, mood, and vitality.  Sleep is more than just the hours you clock in bed, it's about how you feel when you wake up. And don't you want to feel clear-headed and energized every morning? We'll dive into practical steps you can start tonight, from heading to bed just 15 minutes earlier to stepping outside for a moment of morning sunlight, or even supporting your body with magnesium before bedtime.  You'll hear why sleep is such a big pillar in feeling alive and how small changes can make a massive difference in midlife and beyond. Tune in, reclaim your rest, and don't forget to grab your copy of The Perimenopause Revolution in the show notes! IN THIS EPISODE The impact a healthy sleep routine has on your overall health  What's really happening during midlife sleep  The negative implications of sugar and alcohol before bed Optimizing your circadian rhythm with lifestyle modifications  Balancing cortisol, melatonin, and other hormones for sleep A sleep routine that sets you up for success  Morning routines to establish a healthy sleep cycle  Tips for optimizing your bedroom environment for better sleep  QUOTES “Elevated evening cortisol is strongly associated with delayed sleep onset, shortened sleep duration, and increased nighttime awakenings.

What if a key regulator of blood sugar, fat storage, and insulin sensitivity was hiding in plain sight, active only in the dark?In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie explores one of the most overlooked hormonal players in metabolic function. It's not a supplement, not a medication, and not a superfood, but it profoundly influences metabolic health. It plays a role in glucose uptake, mitochondrial health, and inflammatory balance. You'll discover how this nighttime signal impacts leptin and insulin and why testing and personalization matter more than ever.If your clients are doing “all the right things” and still struggling with stubborn weight or glucose spikes, this might be the missing piece.What's Inside This Episode?A deep dive into the circadian hormone that influences insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial functionHow nighttime habits, light exposure, and stress blunt metabolic recoveryThe unexpected impact of this hormone on appetite regulation and fat storageWhy common supplement protocols may backfire without genetic contextNutrient and lifestyle strategies that enhance endogenous production safelyTesting options to assess hormonal circadian alignment and insulin responseResources and LinksDownload the transcript hereDownload our FREE Metabolic Health Guide hereJoin the Next-Level Health Practitioner Facebook group here for resources and community supportVisit INEMethod.com for advanced practitioner training and clinical mentorshipExplore other podcast episodes hereReferencesReiter RJ, et al.

Send us a textYou know that phrase that's everywhere right now, “Women are not small men”? Well… it's true. And also? It's become the perfect little hook for some people to sell you complete and utter BS.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Allan Bacon, yes, the guy who trains Arnold Classic competitors, publishes in scientific journals, and also works with regular humans who just want to get stronger without losing their minds, to bust some of the biggest myths floating around women's health and fitness right now.We get into the shady tactics “menopause influencers” are using to prey on women's very real experiences (and why some of these folks are making you just as stuck as the old-school bro science ever did). Allan explains how to tell the difference between what's actually happening in your body and what's just Instagram fear-mongering.And spoiler: some of the things you think are “hormones” might actually be your habits. Which is great news, because habits are something we can change.We also talk mouse studies (yep, apparently you're a large mouse now?), why cortisol isn't the enemy it's made out to be, and a brutal but brilliant “10-day diet” test to check if your metabolism is actually broken.If you've ever been told to only do one type of workout because of “menopause” or if you've wondered whether all this hormone talk is a legit wake-up call or just a very expensive con, this one's for you.What's Inside:Why “women are not small men” is true and how it's being used to con youHow to spot influencer fear-mongering vs. actual scienceThe truth about metabolism during menopause (and the habits that matter most)Why your workout program probably doesn't need to be “hormone-specific” to workSo let me ask you this. What's keeping you from feeling good in your body right now? Is it your hormones, or is it the sneaky little habits that crept in without you noticing? If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or just plain confused about what the hell to do next, you're not alone. Shoot me a DM on Instagram and tell me what's going on for you.

In this episode, Ben Azadi is joined by thyroid expert Dr. Rebecca Warren for a special live masterclass on thyroid health. If you've ever struggled with fatigue, stubborn weight, or feeling “off” despite normal lab results, this conversation is for you. Dr. Warren breaks down how thyroid hormones—especially T3—are the real drivers of your metabolism, energy, and weight loss. She explains why standard thyroid tests often miss hidden issues and shares practical strategies you can use to support healthy thyroid function. You'll also learn how environmental toxins affect your hormones, and why your thyroid, adrenals, and sex hormones are all connected. Through science, personal stories, and clear action steps, this episode offers both clarity and hope for anyone looking to finally get to the root of their metabolic struggles.

If you've ever wondered why you keep waking up at 2am, 3am, or right before your alarm goes off, this episode is for you. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren't random; they're your body's way of sending signals that something deeper might be out of balance.  Instead of brushing it off as “just bad sleep,” we'll break down what your wake-up times might be revealing about your hormones, gut, blood sugar, and more. Think of your sleep like a night shift at a factory. Different departments run on different schedules. If one department has a problem, the alarm goes off at that time. By tracking your wake-up patterns, you can start to see the clues your body is leaving. We'll dive into the most common causes, from blood sugar dips and cortisol spikes, to low progesterone, high histamine, and even liver overload. You'll hear simple analogies like your brain's “glass of wine” being empty without progesterone, or your liver as the night shift cleaner making noise when it's overloaded that make these complex concepts easy to understand. We'll also cover lifestyle factors like blue light, meal timing, hydration, and circadian rhythm, because sometimes the simplest tweaks make the biggest difference.  By the end, you'll know how to decode your body's signals, track what's really happening, and take small, sustainable steps toward better sleep. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. This episode will help you finally understand the messages and reclaim deep, restorative rest.  Time Stamps:  (1:25) Upcoming Retreat (3:22) Why Do I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night? (5:50) Timing Of When You're Waking Up At Night (8:47) 1 to 3 AM and The Liver (9:32) Dryer Lint Talk (11:09) Common Causes of Waking Up (15:17) Cortisol and Blood Sugar (18:05) Low Progesterone (23:54) Dehydration (26:50) Gut Imbalances (29:39) Lifestyle Factors (32:41) First Steps---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Dr Steven R. Gundry is an American physician and low-carbohydrate diet author, most famous for his book 'Unlocking the Keto Code'. He is also the founder of Gundry MD, dedicated to dramatically improving human health, happiness, and longevity through his unique vision of diet and nutrition. Dr Steven joins Angela to talk about mitochondrial uncoupling, specifically how you can eat certain foods designed to turbo-charge your metabolism, effectively wasting calories, enabling you to support energy and vitality while supporting fat loss at the same time. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Mitochondrial Uncoupling: Mitochondrial uncoupling is a process where the mitochondria waste calories to generate heat, which can enhance metabolism and support fat loss Ketones as Signaling Compounds: Contrary to popular belief, ketones are not a super fuel for the body. Instead, they act as signaling compounds Role of Diet in Longevity: Certain foods, such as spices (e.g., black pepper, cinnamon), fermented cheeses, and beverages like tea and red wine, can enhance mitochondrial uncoupling Impact of Cold and Heat Exposure: Both cold exposure and sauna use can uncouple mitochondria, promoting metabolic health TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:00:27] Mitochondrial uncoupling explained. [00:05:39] Ketogenic diet for seizure reduction. [00:19:24] Insulin and fat storage. [00:29:04] Cost-of-living hypothesis and aging. [00:49:45] Melatonin in the Mediterranean diet.

Dr. Cooper adds the medical lens, showing why strength training is essential for long-term vitality.Key Takeaways:Strength training preserves lean mass, protects bone health, and improves functionality at any age.Research shows if you can't leg press at least 50% of your body weight, your fall risk skyrockets; strength training dramatically reduces that risk—even into your 90s.Power, not just strength, is key: the ability to move quickly and explosively helps prevent falls and injuries.Strength training improves more than muscles—it benefits insulin resistance, metabolic health, and brain function, with emerging links to dementia prevention.Starting safely matters: Small steps, proper form, and gradual adaptation are essential to build a foundation and avoid injuries.Even 10 minutes of lifting or bodyweight movement can build health when done consistently.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Faith explains how returning to lifting after back injury and hip replacements gave her confidence and resilience, even through cancer treatments.Andrea admits she's been putting off strength training and asks Faith for advice on how best to get started.Russell shares insights from research showing why explosive strength matters for both older adults and younger people alike.Dr. Cooper explains the risks of “too much too soon,” highlights foundational training phases, and describes how nutrition and hormonal health affect results.Mark gets candid about how yoga and even golfing without a cart reminded him how fitness translates into everyday life.Resources from the episode:Faith Ireland's memoir: Getting to Justice: From Unwed Mother to State Supreme CourtDr. Emily Cooper's book: The Metabolic Storm (2nd edition; new edition forthcoming)Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to share the real science behind why we get fat, addressing stigma and confusion with facts, hope, and empowering stories.Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInConnect with Mark Wright on LinkedInConnect with Andrea Taylor on InstagramCheck out our new website where you can submit a mailbag question and sign up for our upcoming 100th Episode live audience taping on Thursday, September 4th at 9 a.m. PST!

In this episode, we break down the 5 real signs of optimal metabolic health—from stable blood sugar to high-quality sleep—and why obsessing over food every 2 hours is a red flag. You'll also learn which blood markers actually matter, and how to read your body's cues before symptoms spiral out of control. Whether you're bloated, inflamed, or flat-out exhausted—this episode is your metabolic wake-up call. *** Get Your Tickets Now: Use code REVIVAL for $100 discount ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FitMom | UNSTUCK: The Women's Health & Hormone Summit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Gut & Hormones all messed up? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ Take the quiz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ***

Are you overwhelmed with all of the different views about nutrition on the internet? Are you scared of consuming sugar because of all of the propaganda? Are you short on cash and can't spend money on lots of functional medicine tests? If you answered yes to any of those then this is a great episode for you.  Jayton Miller shares the basics of how to create a healthy metabolism and how to assess the state of your metabolism using your body temperature and pulse readings. We talk about the importance of vitamin A and why its not a toxin, he shares why we should lower our polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake, why eating throughout the day is important, how to stop waking up in the middle of the night, the dangers of excessive estrogen, and much more.
