Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you! Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we're hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I'd greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise. Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high? Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I'm wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I'm 42). Have horrible PEM (can't walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can't exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won't go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won't go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast. Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them? Thanks for all your help and work you are putting out!

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. Today, we're diving into one of the most talked-about topics in health and weight loss right now: GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and the newer dual GIP/GLP-1s like tirzepatide. You've probably seen the headlines, scrolled past a few TikToks, or heard a friend mention it — but with all that noise comes a lot of confusion, half-truths, and flat-out myths. Today we're breaking it all down. What's real? What's hype? And what do you actually need to know if you're using these medications — or thinking about it? Let's separate science from scare tactics and get to the truth, one myth at a time. Myth #1: GLP-1s Cause Dangerous Muscle Loss The claim: “GLP-1s cause massive muscle loss.” Truth: This is an overstatement. Some loss of lean mass is normal with any kind of weight loss — whether it's through diet, medication, or surgery. What studies show is that with medications like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound), about 20–25% of the total weight lost comes from lean mass, and the rest is fat — which is exactly what we're targeting in obesity treatment. That 20–25% figure isn't unique to these meds; it's actually pretty typical in weight loss without focused resistance training or optimized protein intake. You may also hear “You'll lose all your muscle and become frail on GLP-1s.” Truth: You won't “lose all your muscle.” In fact, muscle loss is preventable by maintaining adequate protein intake, resistance training, and managing weight loss pace. Furthermore, many patients gain strength and mobility as excess weight comes off. And lastly, my favorite myth is “You can't preserve muscle on GLP-1s.” Truth: That's completely false — muscle loss isn't inevitable on GLP-1s if you take the right approach. You can absolutely preserve muscle by making a few intentional choices: aim for enough protein each day (a good goal is around 0.8 grams per pound of body weight), include some strength or resistance training a couple times a week, and avoid losing weight too quickly. These simple steps go a long way in protecting your lean mass while still getting all the benefits of weight loss. One study on semaglutide showed that people lost an average of about 15% of their body weight, and only around 3–4% of that was lean mass. So if someone drops 30 pounds, maybe 6 to 8 of those pounds might be lean mass—not ideal, but definitely not disastrous either, and very manageable with the right lifestyle habits. The truth is, while some lean mass loss is expected with any type of weight loss, research shows that most of the weight lost on GLP-1s is actually fat, not muscle. For example, in the STEP 1 trial, about 80% of the weight lost on semaglutide came from fat, and only about 20% from lean tissue (as we mentioned earlier). The SURMOUNT-1 trial with tirzepatide showed similar results—significant fat loss with relatively preserved muscle, especially when paired with resistance training. And that's important, because preserving muscle during weight loss helps protect metabolism, strength, and overall health. With good nutrition and movement, GLP-1s can lead to healthier body composition—not just a lower number on the scale. Okay, moving along to the next myth … Myth #2: GLP-1s Can Cause Blindness The truth: This myth stems from concerns about diabetic retinopathy worsening, which is tied to how quickly blood sugar drops, not to the drug itself. In the SUSTAIN-6 trial (Marso et al., NEJM, 2016), a small subset of patients with pre-existing advanced diabetic retinopathy saw transient worsening—but only in those with rapid improvements in A1c. No increased rates of blindness or new-onset retinopathy have been found in non-diabetic patients using GLP-1s for weight loss. The bottom line is that those without advanced diabetic eye disease, there's no increased risk of blindness. Patients with diabetic retinopathy should be monitored closely—but this is about glycemic management, not a direct effect of the medication. Myth #3: GLP-1s Cause Kidney or Liver Damage The truth: This is false. In fact, GLP-1 agonists may protect kidney and liver function—especially in patients with diabetes or fatty liver disease. The most recent notable study showing kidney‑protective effects of a GLP‑1 receptor agonist is the FLOW trial, which evaluated semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This double‑blind, randomized, placebo‑controlled trial included 3,533 participants followed for a median of 3.4 years and found that semaglutide reduced the risk of major kidney‑related events—including kidney failure, substantial eGFR decline, and death from renal or cardiovascular causes—by 24% compared to placebo. A 2025 meta-analysis of multiple randomized controlled trials (11 studies, 85,373 participants) concluded that GLP‑1 receptor agonists reduced the risk of composite kidney failure outcomes by 18%, kidney failure by 16%, and all‑cause death by 12%. And let's not forget the SMART trial, involving obese patients with kidney disease but without diabetes, found that semaglutide protected kidney function in this non‑diabetic, CKD‑affected population. When it comes to the liver, there's actually growing evidence they're actually helping reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The STEP 1 MRI substudy and SURPASS-3 MRI substudy have shown people on these medications can reduce liver fat by 30 to even 50% and in some cases, completely resolve liver inflammation — that more serious form called NASH, where fat is combined with inflammation and early scarring. The LEAN trial found that nearly 60% of people taking semaglutide had resolution of NASH, without worsening their liver scarring. That's huge. And even better, we're seeing these effects even in people who don't have diabetes. Just losing weight helps fatty liver, but these meds seem to do more than that — they actually target inflammation and fat storage in the liver itself.. The bottom line is GLP-1s are not nephrotoxic or hepatotoxic. In fact, they may be organ-protective—especially for people with underlying metabolic issues. Myth #4: These Drugs Lead to Bone Loss The claim: “You'll get osteoporosis from losing too much weight!” The truth: While extreme weight loss can affect bone density, GLP-1s themselves do not cause bone loss, and may even have neutral or protective effects on bone. A 2022 study in Bone found no significant change in BMD (bone mineral density) in adults treated with semaglutide for obesity. While the SUSTAIN and PIONEER programs found no increased risk of fractures in semaglutide-treated patients versus placebo. Truly, concerns about bone loss are more relevant in extreme calorie restriction or eating disorders—not evidence-based GLP-1 treatment with appropriate nutrition. Myth #5: Everyone Gets Gastroparesis The claim: “These medications paralyze your stomach” The truth: GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, which is part of how they work—making you feel full longer. But this is dose-dependent and typically reversible. A 2023 FDA safety review found that true gastroparesis is extremely rare and resolves when the drug is stopped. Reality check: Nausea, early satiety, and mild bloating are common but manageable side effects. True, lasting gastroparesis is not typical, especially when doses are titrated gradually. Myth #6: GLP-1s Make Your Hair Fall Out The claim: “You'll lose a ton of hair—just like with crash diets” The truth: Hair shedding is not directly caused by GLP-1 medications. Instead, it's often a temporary, non-scarring condition called telogen effluvium, which can happen with any rapid weight loss, regardless of the method. A 2023 analysis from the American Academy of Dermatology emphasized that telogen effluvium is common with surgical or medical weight loss, especially if patients lose more than 10% of their body weight within a few months. In clinical trials like STEP and SURMOUNT, hair loss was not listed as a common side effect, but patient-reported data show it occurs occasionally—likely tied to nutritional stress, not the drug itself. So why does hair loss happen? We've talked about this before, but I don't want to leave this important information out. Hair follicles are sensitive to internal stress. Rapid changes in caloric intake, nutrient levels (like iron, zinc, and biotin), or hormone balance can push hairs into the shedding phase. This is a delayed effect, often showing up 2–3 months after weight loss begins, and it typically resolves within 6–12 months. What helps is slower, sustained weight loss, prioritizing protein intake, supplementing iron, zinc, and biotin if deficient, and avoiding very low-calorie diets and over-restriction. Myth #6: GLP-1s Cause Dehydration It's a common myth that GLP-1 medications cause dehydration — but that's not exactly true. The medication itself doesn't directly dehydrate you. What can happen is that some people experience nausea, vomiting, or a reduced appetite early on, which can lead to drinking less water without realizing it. That's where the dehydration risk comes in. A good general rule for staying hydrated is to aim for half your body weight in ounces of water per day. So, for example, if you weigh 160 pounds, try to drink around 80 ounces daily — more if you're active or live in a hot climate. Electrolytes can also be really helpful, especially if you're feeling tired, dizzy, or crampy. I like LMNT packets — they're a clean option with no sugar and a good balance of sodium, magnesium, and potassium. The sodium in LMNT packets helps keep you hydrated by pulling water into your cells and helping your body retain the fluids it needs to function properly. Just one a day can make a big difference in how you feel. Myth #7: You Have to Stay on GLP-1s Forever or You'll Gain All the Weight Back The claim: “As soon as you stop taking it, all the weight comes back” The truth: Yes—some weight regain is likely after stopping GLP-1 medications. But that doesn't mean they're ineffective or that you're doomed to rebound completely. The same pattern happens after any type of weight loss intervention, whether it's a diet, surgery, or medication. The STEP 4 trial (Wilding et al., 2022) showed that participants who stopped semaglutide after 20 weeks regained an average of 6% of their weight loss over the next year. But it's important to note that they still weighed less than at baseline—and many continued to experience improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity. Similarly, in SURMOUNT-4, patients who stopped tirzepatide also regained weight, but less than they lost. So why does this weight gain happen? I feel like the answer to this is obvious, but I've found that it's not. GLP-1s change your appetite and hunger cues. Once the medication is stopped, your body's baseline hunger signals return—and often with increased intensity, due to metabolic adaptation. But this isn't unique to GLP-1s. The same thing happens after crash diets, keto, intermittent fasting, or bariatric surgery if long-term changes aren't made. The real issue isn't the drug—it's the lack of a plan after the drug. To help make results sustainable, we need to use the medication as a tool, not a crutch. We should use it to help us lose weight and understand our hunger cues, while transitioning to a whole foods, protein based diet coupled with resistance training to help preserve and build muscle. Just remember, if you're coming off a GLP-1 and want to keep the momentum going, the key is to approach it thoughtfully. Tapering slowly under medical supervision can help your body adjust and reduce the chances of weight regain. At the same time, this is a great moment to double down on the habits that helped you feel your best while on the medication. Think ongoing support—like working with a health coach, joining a support group, or even doing behavioral therapy—to help reinforce those long-term lifestyle changes. It's not just about what you stop; it's about what you keep doing that matters most. You don't necessarily have to stay on GLP-1s forever—but if you stop without a plan, some weight regain is very likely. Think of them like glasses: they help you see clearly while you build the habits to eventually navigate without them. For some, that may mean staying on a lower maintenance dose long-term—just like with blood pressure or cholesterol meds. What are my final thoughts? I want to be clear—GLP-1s aren't magic. But they are powerful tools when paired with education, support, and smart lifestyle changes. Myths like ‘you'll go blind,' ‘you'll lose all your hair,' or ‘you'll be stuck on these meds forever' aren't just misleading and downright false—they discourage people from getting real help. So if you're thinking about these medications, get informed, ask the hard questions, and make your decision based on science—not fear. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Are over-the-counter painkillers silently wrecking your liver? Tylenol for a headache. Ibuprofen for sore muscles. PM meds to help you sleep. They're so common we don't think twice… but your liver does. Your liver is one of the hardest-working organs in your body, and when it's overworked or congested, everything suffers—your hormones, your energy, your digestion, even your sleep. The good news? It's also one of the most resilient organs you have. With the right care, you can restore its function and unlock better energy, clearer thinking, and hormonal harmony. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart shares:
Story at-a-glance Vitamin D deficiency is strongly linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a growing metabolic disorder that often develops silently until serious damage occurs Research shows vitamin D controls liver function at the genetic level, activating fat-burning genes while suppressing fat storage, making it key for preventing and reversing liver damage Vitamin D supplementation in studies significantly decreased liver fat, reduced inflammation and restored proper mitochondrial structure and function, especially in older subjects Other essential nutrients for liver health include vitamins E, B12 and folate, which work together to regulate fat metabolism, reduce inflammation and support detoxification Practical solutions include eliminating vegetable oils, which are high in linoleic acid, strategic sun exposure, testing your vitamin D levels (aiming for 60 to 80 ng/mL) and combining vitamin D3 with magnesium and K2 when supplementing
Ultra-processed foods are everywhere—and now they're fueling a national health crisis. In this episode of The Carolina Justice Report, Justin Lovely, Amy Lawrence, Sarah Austin and Sharde Crawford discuss the rising litigation against food industry giants whose chemically engineered products have led to type 2 diabetes diagnoses in children. We break down the NOVA food classification system, reveal how tobacco companies shifted into the food industry using addiction science, and explain why this new wave of lawsuits matters—especially to parents trying to feed their kids on a budget. If your child has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and there's no family history, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how you can join the fight to hold these corporations accountable.

Vibing Well with Dr. Stacy (A Functional Medicine Approach to Healing)
In today's episode, I discuss how added sugar and refined/processed foods (yes, even organic, dairy-free, and gluten-free processed foods are STILL processed and refined), still unrecognizable to the mitochondria, still void of nutrients that our gut microbime needs (like fiber!), and also causing MORE inflammation and mitochondria dysfucntion which contirbutes to all METABOLIC diseases including:StokeCVD/Heart Disease/AtherosclerosisKidney DiseaseLiver Disease and Failure, NAFLD, CirrhosisDiabetesDementiaExcess Growth/CancerHyperlipedimia/ObesityWhat they all have in common is that they are METABOLIC in nature, meaning you have to begin to look at what is happening in the LIVER and in the CELLS in order to prevent them. There is NO way we can move forward along our healing journey if we are poisoning our cells with sugar, and in the episode, I delve into the HOW and the WHY sugar does things like wreck our metabolism and mitochondria, how it causes the liver to become fat, which sets the scene for chroinc inflammation, insulin resistance, a lack of ATP (energy), and with that, mitochondira dysfunction.I also talk about how our children are targeted in this mess, how we need to understand the limits in which their bodies can metbaolize (as far as sugar goes), how metablic issues manifest in children, and then of course - how we start supporting these thgins in our own homes (starting with what we bring into the house and what we accept as our normal when it comes to fueling our bodies.)

Don't wait for fatty liver symptoms to address your liver health! Find out what to eat for a fatty liver and discover the #1 superfood for liver health that can remove fat from the liver naturally. NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is being changed to MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), which essentially means a fatty liver with inflammation. Doctors treat this condition with medications and never truly address the root cause.NAFLD is often blamed on “too much nutrition”, but what does this mean? It's not simply over-nutrition that causes a fatty liver. It's the overconsumption of sugar, starches, and seed oils. Industrial sugars like high-fructose corn syrup are especially problematic for the liver.Fatty liver symptoms include fatigue, pain or discomfort in the right upper quadrant, cognitive problems, yellow skin, hot and itchy feet, and extra weight around the midsection.The medical field has used observational studies to claim that red meat, organ meats, liver, and eggs cause a fatty liver. However, observational studies can not determine causation! Research has shown that if you go on a low-carb, ketogenic diet, you can decrease 50% of the fat from your liver in a matter of weeks! To improve liver health and remove fat from the liver naturally, add the following liver detox foods to your diet:1. Grass-fed red meat offers high-quality protein with vital nutrients such as zinc, copper, and CoQ10. It also supports healthy blood sugar levels. 2. Eggs have zero carbs and are a rich source of choline, which helps protect you from developing a fatty liver.3. Cruciferous vegetables, especially when fermented, help the liver with detoxification and also help to remove fat. 4. Wild-caught salmon and other wild-caught fatty fish are a very nutritious source of protein and are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce liver inflammation. 5. Broccoli sprouts contain sulforaphane, which has potent anti-cancer properties and helps detoxify the liver. They can also decrease A1C to stabilize blood sugar. 6. The #1 food for liver health is grass-fed liver! Beef and lamb liver are low-carb, high in choline, nutrient-dense, and contain many trace minerals, vital in reducing liver fat and inflammation.

Your liver plays a critical role in your overall health, but signs of trouble can be easy to miss. In this episode, Nurse Doza uncovers the early warning signals of liver dysfunction, from chronic fatigue to weight gain, and explains how your diet, sleep, and stress levels impact liver health. Learn practical steps to support your liver naturally and optimize your well-being. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Persistent fatigue is often a sign of liver dysfunction, as the liver regulates energy metabolism. Poor sleep quality, including sleep apnea, is linked to an increased risk of liver disease. Gut health and liver function are closely connected—irregular bowel movements may indicate liver issues. Cognitive decline and brain fog can be early indicators of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Weight gain and metabolic imbalances are often tied to liver health and insulin resistance. FEATURED PRODUCT Liver Boost – Packed with essential nutrients to support optimal liver function, Liver Boost promotes detoxification, enhances bile flow, and helps combat oxidative stress. Give your liver the support it needs to function at its best. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 START 03:15 The first sign: Chronic fatigue and liver dysfunction 10:30 How stress and the adrenal glands impact liver health 15:45 The second sign: Poor sleep and its link to liver disease 21:00 The third sign: Gut health and irregular bowel movements 27:10 How your liver processes toxins and the role of bile RESOURCES MENTIONED "How Fatigue and Liver Disease Are Connected" – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6676553/ "The Link Between Liver Disease and Sleep Apnea" – https://aapmd.org/sleep-disorders/the-link-between-liver-disease-and-sleep-apnea "Gut Microbiome, IBS, and Liver Disease" – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8727221/ "NAFLD and Cognitive Decline" – https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/wnl.0000000000200853 "Weight Gain and Liver Health" – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6591731/

In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals 5 things Western medicine cannot help you with—critical areas where prescriptions and procedures fall short. From liver health to depression, this episode explores natural, functional approaches you need to understand to take charge of your health. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Fatty liver affects 1 in 4 people and is almost entirely ignored in traditional care. Thyroid dysfunction is commonly misdiagnosed due to outdated lab standards. Dementia has nutritional and lifestyle roots that are rarely addressed. Gut health is foundational—yet still not recognized by most physicians. Depression is often a nutrient deficiency, not just a chemical imbalance. FEATURED PRODUCT: Good Poops Good Poops Protocol is designed to support the gut-liver axis, making it the perfect complement to today's episode. Packed with digestive aids and liver-supporting nutrients, this protocol helps reduce inflammation, promote regularity, and strengthen your body's natural detox pathways—everything Western medicine often overlooks.

I am the Mom of one amazing daughter. I am a Speech Language Pathologist who specialises in feeding disorders. I became an Intermittent fast in February of 2019 after being diagnosed with prediabetes and NAFLD. Both sides of my family have generational metabolic disorders. I found fasting when a coworker asked me to read Delay, Don't Deny by Gin Stephens so she could get my opinion on fasting. I had never heard of IF before this. I started my first fast that evening. I have lost and maintained a 30-pound weight loss over 6 years, but more importantly, I have reversed my prediabetes and no longer have a fatty liver.

Do you feel you've been on every diet under the sun, yet without any lasting results to show for it? Somehow, the weight loss never seems to stick and you end up gaining all of it back, and then some. That was my guest Lyana's experience and it felt incredibly frustrating. Not only that, her health seemed to be headed in the wrong direction too, and it was a shock for her to receive new diagnoses like diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. But instead of doing keto, she decided to re-try a plant-based diet, and went full into a whole food, plant-based diet with no oil. Listen in to Part 2 of my interview with Lyana to hear more about her amazing health transformation, and the positive health benefits her husband has also enjoyed. Don't miss too the important key takeaway piece of advice Lyana gives us about losing weight on a plant-based diet!

My interview guest Lyana S. never wanted to go on prescription meds. Yet, health issues started piling up, one after another, from her late thirties onwards. First it was high blood pressure, then high cholesterol and pre-diabetes. Then finally diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Add to this a strong family history of medical issues, with her mother suffering from diabetes, kidney failure, then a severe stroke and paralysis. It's clear the odds aren't stacked in her favor. Lyana knew things need to change, but how? That's when she began a whole food, no-oil, plant-based diet, and her health changed dramatically within the next few months. Listen in to Part 1 of my interview with Lyana and be inspired by her fascinating story!

Episode 2620: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss news items that address the need for battling Big Food companies, how to get moving, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/battling-big-food-companies-episode-2620 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Battling Big Food Companies Chris has three new items for Vinnie. Food Expo West (10:00) Impossible, the vegan “meat” brand, is introducing “steak bites.” People have an impression that “plant-based” is healthier. Vinnie relays a story of getting inspired to get outside. (20:20) You can get outdoors or prepare a good meal with just a little planning and foresight. (31:00) They share some ideas and examples. There is a system of food classification called NOVA Classification. (38:00) It ranks the levels of different processed foods. They discuss what companies financially support this system and the apparent motivation behind the opposition to being classified; consequently, it's an example of “prisoners running the asylum.” An 18-year-old is taking on Big Food in a lawsuit. (48:00) His claim emphasized how ultra-processed foods are marketed to kids similar to cigarette marketing in the 1960s and 1970s. He's been diagnosed with NAFLD and type 2 diabetes at age 16. Chris mentions some of the arguments presented by Big Food, on a website called foodprocessingfacts.org (53:00) Chris reads from a list of favorite vegan snacks, according to VegNews—almost all of them are chemical shitstorms. (57:45) You need to pay attention to what you put in your body. (1:03:00) The struggle is real: processed foods are all around us and marketed as quick, easy, and palatable.

(2:00) Laura and Matt are among several reputable doctors who are refuting the nutritional guidelines for children by the American Academy of Pediatrics. (22:30) The AAP thinks a low carb diet in children is nutritionally deficient and can cause disordered eating. Multiple reputable doctors have spoken out against the AAP's recommendations as many studies refute the AAP's claims. The current "standard of care" can increase blood sugar in children. (24:00) The use of keto/low-carb is an option for therapeutic purposes. (31:00) Jim Abrams and the Charlie Foundation are an example of the ketogenic diet being used for treatment. James shares the current health statistics for children: 20% are obese, 30% are prediabetic, and 20% also have fatty liver disease. NAFLD is now the leading cause of cirrhosis of the liver. (36:30) Vinnie reviews some of the history of various health commissions over the decade. (42:00) They review the current guidelines for Type 1 diabetes. (47:30) Laura discusses the challenges of the recommended guidelines on kids with Type 1 diabetes, including a reduced lifespan. Reducing carb intake can reduce the amount of insulin needed per dose. Saving Medical Costs Company Wellness Program that they have started doing. Laura shares the improvement results in various conditions in over 50 patients. The employer is pleased as it no longer needs to pay out as much for medications monthly. On average, this employer is saving $1700 per employee. GLP-1s: What is their stance?

In this episode we discuss: How much oxalate your body produces and how it compares to the amount you consume in your diet Whether you need to be concerned about vitamin C, hydroxyproline, and glycine converting to oxalates How you can reduce the amount of oxalates your body produces Which nutrients decrease oxalate production How metabolic dysfunction affects oxalate production Check out the Energy Balance Solution program here: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/solution/ The Nutrition Blueprint: https://mikefave.com/the-nutrition-blueprint/ Click here to check out the show notes: https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/ep-129-the-forgotten-source-of-oxalates-your-bodys-own-production/ Timestamps: 0:00 – intro 1:12 – overview of endogenous vs. exogenous oxalates 5:46 – how much oxalate comes from endogenous production vs. diet 9:14 – when endogenous oxalate production matters more than dietary oxalate 15:03 – rare genetic disorders that cause excessive oxalate production: primary hyperoxaluria 22:36 – the pathways in the liver that lead to oxalate production 32:41 – other biochemical pathways involved in endogenous oxalate production 41:19 – deranged metabolic function as a primary driver of glyoxal production and lipid peroxidation 45:14 – the extent to which glycine and vitamin C contribute to endogenous oxalate formation 48:00 – how much does hydroxyproline contribute to oxalate production? 52:06 – the primary precursor to oxalate that's often ignored (glyoxal) 55:08 – how oxidative stress drives oxalate production and how antioxidants help 1:01:20 – what causes the high oxalate levels seen in type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)? 1:11:16 – the protective effects of glycine in states of excess oxalate production 1:15:54 – elevated stress hormones and gluconeogenesis increase oxalate production 1:22:43 – nutrient deficiencies that contribute to oxalate issues (vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and zinc)
Episode #193 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Are home-made smoothies and protein drinks helpful or detrimental as meal replacement when trying to lose weight or reverse type two diabetes? If so, what kind would you recommend? (05:14) Is it acceptable for someone 4'10” to eat 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram instead of TFM's recommended 0.8-1.2 gram, since they are so petite? (08:32) How does iodine intake and storage work in the body from a scientific perspective? Since iodine is water soluble, what is known about how long the body can maintain adequate iodine levels between dietary intake? Are there any established research findings about the need for iodine during different eating patterns, such as an extended fast? (12:02) Will consistently high uric acid levels from fasting adversely affect my health even if I don't have symptoms of hyperuricemia? (14:08) I believe you addressed this at the time Dr. Peter Attia was a guest on Thomas DeLauer's YouTube channel, but I can't remember which one of our podcasts that was. Wasn't he cautioning about extended fasts and muscle loss for people who were already in great shape - “shredded” if you will? Don't you quickly regain any muscle lost once you start eating nutrient-dense food again? (15:21) Is there more autophagy happening during exercise or fasting? (21:17) What is the best fasting regime for someone with a low BMI but who has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? How long should alternate-day fasting (just started two 42-48 hour fasts a week) combined with a whole-food, low-carb diet continue?

Fatty liver is silently affecting millions—and it's not just about alcohol. In this episode, we expose the real root causes behind non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), from gut dysbiosis to blood sugar imbalances, bile stagnation, and toxic overload. Learn how your liver and gut are always connected, why conventional medicine often overlooks key warning signs, and the essential steps to detox, support bile flow, and heal your body naturally. If you've been struggling with bloating, brain fog, sluggish metabolism, or stubborn weight, your liver might be crying out for help—don't miss this one! ***
Probiotic Link: (FLORASTOR Advanced) https://florastor.com/products/floras... These nutrient-rich liver foods aid in liver detoxification and create a vacuum effect, helping you lose weight from the midsection. To make these natural liver detox smoothies, combine the ingredients with one cup of water and one cup of ice. If you are following a strict keto diet, you may want to stick to recipes without pomegranate or papaya. If you have been doing keto for some time and feel your body can handle a small amount of these fruits—please give all of the recipes a try! Always get organic fruit when possible, and try to keep your net carbs under 50g per day. 1. Spinach and kiwi Blend 1 cup of spinach with 2 to 3 kiwis. Spinach supports healthy blood sugar and can also help remove fat from the abdomen, while kiwi has properties to protect the liver against damage. 2. Spinach and grapefruit Combine 1 cup of spinach with 1 grapefruit. Grapefruit increases your sensitivity to insulin and increases bile flow. 3. Kale and pomegranate Cruciferous vegetables like kale aid in liver detoxification and have anti-inflammatory properties. Pomegranate also decreases inflammation and prevents fat from accumulating in the liver. 4. Papaya Combine one whole chopped papaya with water and ice. Papaya is loaded with enzymes that can help digestion and decrease inflammation in the liver. 5. Celery and blueberries Combine 1 cup of chopped celery with 1 cup of blueberries. Celery Increases bile production and reduces liver inflammation. Blueberries reduce liver fat, and their polyphenols help remove excess iron from the body. 6. Cucumber and lemon Combine 1 cup of each of these ingredients. Cucumber is hydrating and has electrolytes. It increases liver detoxification and can help prevent NAFLD. Lemon can also improve liver detoxification. 7. Avocado and strawberries Combine 1 cup of each! Avocado contains glutathione, one of the most potent antioxidants, and also has reparative properties for the liver. Strawberries help increase overall liver function and metabolism and remove fat from the liver. 8. Coconut and papaya Coconut contains lauric acid, which is beneficial for the immune system. It contains MCT fat, which turns into ketones. This combination decreases inflammation and scarring on the liver. Dr. William Davis developed a recipe combining fruit juice with a friendly microbe found in Florastor. Try this beverage to support the gut and suppress diarrhea and SIBO.

This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15. By conservative estimates, over half of Americans suffer from insulin resistance—a pathway that can lead to numerous chronic diseases. Fortunately, this is not a one-way street; we have the power to change course and protect our long-term health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on the dangers of insulin resistance. Dhru sits down with Kristin Kirkpatrick and Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh to discuss an epidemic affecting one in four people: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its connection to insulin resistance. Kristin and Dr. Hanouneh highlight the most significant risk factors for fatty liver disease, including metabolic dysfunction and diabetes. They also delve into how ultra-processed foods, excessive sugar consumption, and sedentary lifestyles contribute to the rise in NAFLD cases. Additionally, Dr. Morgan Nolte explains why weight gain and insulin resistance are becoming more prevalent and shares actionable strategies to improve our relationship with insulin. She breaks down how insulin resistance changes as we age and emphasizes the transformative power of optimal fiber intake, quality sleep, stress reduction, and strength training in maintaining metabolic health and achieving an ideal weight. Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN, is a celebrated author, speaker, and accomplished dietitian with over 25 years of experience. She is a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine. Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh, MD, is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist specializing in liver disease. He served as Chief Gastroenterology Fellow and associate staff at the Cleveland Clinic and later contributed his expertise to Minnesota Gastroenterology and Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Dr. Morgan Nolte is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. She recognized a need for preventative education and care that focuses on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms. That led her to focus on developing online courses and coaching programs that help adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Why we need to focus on insulin resistance (00:00:05) Biggest warning signs of fatty liver disease (2:04) Role of the liver (6:48) The pathway that leads to fatty liver (9:53) Myths about fatty liver and the major culprit of fatty liver disease (13:12) How non-alcoholic fatty liver gets in the way of our long-term health and chronic inflammation (18:32) Why insulin is crucial (25:06) Why insulin resistance changes as we age (31:27) Toxic traits that damage mindset (39:31) Pillars of nutrition (46:00) Optimizing muscle mass for those in the healthy baseline (51:51) Importance of sleep on your appetite (55:46) Strength training and stress management for optimal insulin levels (1:02:51) Also mentioned: Regenerative Health Book This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15.

Exam Room Nutrition: Nutrition Education for Health Professionals
Welcome to Deficiency Detective!A mini-series for you to solve today's nutrition mystery. Join me as I share a puzzling patient case every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during December.Here's how to play:
Fatty liver disease, encompassing both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD), is a prevalent condition in the United States. NAFLD affects approximately 24% of U.S. adults, translating to about 80 million individuals. Within this group, a subset develops non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more severe form characterized by liver inflammation and damage, affecting an estimated 1.5% to 6.5% of U.S. adults. NIDDK In this lesson I will be sharing with you an easy protocol to reverse fatty liver + the top warning signs that your liver is failing you. The first step to repairing your liver is to avoid snacking, and practice intermittent fasting. The second step to repairing your liver is to avoid or limit alcohol! The third step to healing your liver are the following supplements and biohacks.
When you have a fatty liver, every other function in your body becomes compromised. A fatty liver also means a fatty pancreas, and other fatty organs. This also means you have excess visceral fat! Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. While the liver naturally contains some fat, when more than 5-10% of its weight is fat, it can lead to complications. Fatty liver disease is generally categorized into two main types: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Fat accumulation due to excessive alcohol consumption. In the United States, it is estimated that 10% to 20% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of NAFLD in children has been increasing, particularly due to the rising rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Among children with obesity, the prevalence of NAFLD is significantly higher, ranging from 30% to 50%. Approximately 30 years ago, in the early 1990s, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was relatively rare in children, with an estimated prevalence of around 1% to 3%!! Here are 10 health complications that can occur with fatty liver disease…. 1. Liver Inflammation and Damage 2. Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes 3. Cardiovascular Diseases 4. Kidney Disease 5. Sleep Apnea 6. Increased Risk of Certain Cancers 7. Hormonal Imbalances 8. Fatigue and Malaise 9. Nutrient Deficiencies 10. Weight Gain and Difficulty Losing Weight
HEALTH NEWS The consumption of flavonoid-rich foods was associated with a reduced risk of NAFLD among middle-aged adults Phytoene increases lifespan, reduces oxidative stress and amyloid toxicity One in three Americans has a dysfunctional metabolism, but intermittent fasting could help Keeping a longer overnight fast and eating an early breakfast may be associated with a lower body mass index Meta-analysis concludes benefit for cranberry against UTI Multiple surgeries could contribute to cognitive decline in older people
