Podcasts about new science

Five minutes doesn't sound like enough time to change much. But if you are spending big chunks of your time sitting, thinking, working, or scrolling, getting up for just 5 minutes at regular intervals can change everything. Journalist and broadcaster Manoush Zomorodi has spent years investigating what the digital, sedentary life is doing to us. Three years ago, her Body Electric podcast invited listeners to take part in a Columbia University study, testing what happened when people got up and moved regularly for just five minutes. Now the results are in, and they're the basis for her new book that shows how surprisingly small changes can make a big difference to our bodies and brains from blood pressure to posture, eyesight to productivity. The Book is called Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being.

This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠The Primal Skincare.⁠⁠ We are told that high cholesterol and LDL cause heart disease; this is not the case. We have lowered saturated fat and cholesterol drastically, yet heart disease is still the number one killer worldwide. Dr Ovadia, a board-certified heart surgeon, will discuss how to fix your heart, the truth about cholesterol as a risk marker, and how insulin resistance drives plaque in the arteries. In this episode, we explain:The Statin Trap: Why cholesterol-lowering drugs can increase insulin resistance and cause long-term harm to your health.The Real Enemy: How processed foods and industrial seed oils drive the arterial inflammation that leads to heart attacks. Insulin Resistance: The hidden, underlying root cause of heart disease that standard tests usually miss.Protective Fats: Why natural animal fats do not cause heart failure and why real meat acts as medicine for your body.Reversing Plaque: How switching your diet and fixing your metabolism can clear your arteries and restore your heart.

Send us Fan MailHi my dears! This week I'm diving into one of my favorite topics: how to strive to have a great and long life. These are the amazing folks in their 80s and beyond whose memory is as sharp as someone 20 or 30 years younger. I share what researchers at Northwestern University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and beyond have discovered about how super agers keep their brains young, and I break it down into three simple strategies you might try: challenge your brain, move your body, and get your rest. We talk about Type 2 fun (the kind that's miserable in the moment but amazing looking back), why learning to quilt might do more for your memory than easy puzzles, how walking can actually grow your brain's memory center, and why sleep is when your brain takes out the trash. And yes, I bring back the Blue Zones too!But first, I had to share my latest library jackpot: the Libby app! If you have a library card, you may have free access to hundreds of digital magazines, audiobooks, and e-books right from your tablet. I also share a little about my walks in the woods and by the bay, a story from my husband about why "it's not only about fun," and how a bedtime routine helped my kids sleep. Quote of the Week"Stress + rest = growth.

 What if the next major shift in fitness and health isn't another wearable or blood panel, but knowing which of your organs is aging fastest, and whether the things you're doing to improve your health are actually working?Paul Coletta is Co-Founder and CEO of Vero Bioscience, a predictive health company commercializing Stanford research in proteomic organ aging.Before Vero, Paul spent decades building consumer businesses and brands across Disney, MTV, Hewlett-Packard, Jamba Juice and Urban Remedy. He isn't an MD or a PhD. Three years ago, he says he didn't even know what proteomics was.Then he became one of the first people to take what would become Vero's assay.The result showed that his kidney was aging significantly faster than his chronological age, even though the traditional markers he had been tracking, including creatinine and GFR, looked normal. Paul didn't believe the result, so he took it to his cardiologist. An ultrasound found a large renal cyst. It was benign, but the experience changed how he thought about what health data could tell us before traditional diagnostics flag a problem.That story became part of a much bigger question: Can we move from measuring health after something has gone wrong to seeing where the body may be heading, then intervene early enough to change the trajectory?Eric Malzone and Paul unpack the emerging science behind proteomics, the study of proteins and what they can reveal about the real-time function of the body. Paul explains why he thinks proteins offer a different layer of information than genetics, conventional bloodwork and whole-body biological age scores.Vero's Proteomic OrganAge™ analyzes roughly 11,000 proteins from a blood sample and maps those signals across 11 organ systems. The underlying research has been validated across more than 45,000 people, with longitudinal data extending over 17 years. Rather than reducing someone to a single biological-age number, the goal is to identify which parts of the body may be aging differently from the rest.As Paul puts it: "You're only as healthy as your oldest organ."But the measurement itself is only part of the conversation.Eric has talked for years about the industry's "now what" problem: consumers have more data than ever from wearables, bloodwork, sleep trackers and other diagnostics, but getting another score doesn't necessarily tell someone what to do next.Paul argues that the real opportunity is creating a closed-loop health system: measure what is happening, connect that insight to a targeted intervention, retest, and measure how the biology responds.This leads to a broader conversation about the longevity industry itself.As those categories continue to converge, the opportunity may be bigger than collecting more health data. It may be building systems that can turn that data into direction and give both consumers and clinicians a clearer picture of where to act next.CONNECT WITH PAUL + VEROLearn more about Vero Bioscience / join the waitlist →https://www.verobioscience.com/?utm_source=future_of_fitness&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=podcast_collective&utm_content=paul_colettaPaul Coletta on LinkedIn →https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcoletta/Vero Bioscience on LinkedIn →https://www.linkedin.com/company/vero-bioscience-inc/home/ 

In this super-fascinating episode, Amit and Jeff interview Dr. Tom Buchheit: anesthesiologist, pain physician, scientist and regenerative medicine specialist. Tom takes us through the current thinking on the beneficial role of immune stimulation in healing musculoskeletal and neural tissues, teaches us about how he uses autologous conditioned serum, platelet-rich plasma, stem cell therapy and nerve hydrodissection to help patients in his clinic. It's a deep-dive into a growing and exciting field that many of us will experience, on one side of the needle or the other.

We had regrettable hot takes on cleaning exercise equipment before this great episode! The main training topic was on a new study highlighting the important of the lactate shuttle. We zoom out to discuss the implications for aerobic training. We also talked about mysteries around fatigue resistance! In the lab, you can't predict fatigue resistance from fresh values (or from metabolic values during training). What are the implications? Our framework of “carb ox after fat ox” can provide some options.Other topics: Megan's return to racing, a formal apology, a new study on hand and arm cooling, exercise science gone wrong in the NFL, bone health and carbs, and questions on the 6-12-18-24 challenge, wedding speeches, fatigue miles in the context of zone compression theory, and improving bike power for runners.We love you all!

Pain psychologist Dr. Rachel Zoffness joins Forrest and Dr. Rick to explore what pain is, why it can persist long after an injury has healed, and what actually helps. Rachel explains why the brain, rather than the body part that hurts, is what constructs pain, the difference between acute and chronic pain, and the distinction between hurt (what you feel) and harm (what's damaged). They get into the biopsychosocial model, the "pain dial" that stress, sleep, mood, and social connection can turn up or down, the disappointing response rates for most pain treatments, why pain is absolutely not “just in your head,” what sham surgery and open-label placebo studies reveal about how pain works, and why the research is so hard to interpret.  This is not medical advice.

For years, anyone who sprained an ankle or twisted a knee got some standard advice: ice it, rest it, wrap it with compression tape and keep it elevated. The acronym for Rest, Ice, Compress and Elevate is RICE. New research shows that following this advice alleviates the pain from the injury in the short term, but it may actually slow healing. What can help you in healing faster from this type of problem? You can hear it directly from a scientist applying cutting-edge research with tendons and rats to getting NBA players back on the court sooner. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment. How You Can Listen You could listen through your local public radio station or get the live stream at 7 am EST on Saturday, September 12, 2026, through your computer or smart phone (wunc.org).  Here is a link so you can find which stations carry our broadcast. If you can't listen to the broadcast, you may wish to hear the podcast later. You can subscribe through your favorite podcast provider, download the mp3 using the link at the bottom of the page, or listen to the audio stream on this post starting on Sept. 14, 2026. We will also be putting up a YouTube video podcast so you can watch our guest do some demonstrating. Healing Faster from Injuries Sports medicine expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin coined the acronym RICE in the 1970s. At the time, many physicians and physical therapists embraced this approach to treating injuries. It helped reduce the pain in the immediate term, and it doesn't seem to do any harm over the longer term. It can take quite a while to heal damaged tendons and ligaments, however. Sometimes, that takes even longer than for broken bones to knit. Eventually, Dr. Mirkin reversed his RICE recommendation. But very few professionals took note. Is there a happy medium between applying RICE and toughing it out by trying to walk a sprained ankle off? Our guest on this episode has been studying the topic of healing faster from injuries and has some concrete advice to offer. Trying to Fool Mother Nature Many of the precautions that amateur athletes take are designed to undermine the body's inflammatory response. Yet acute inflammation is exactly how the body tries to heal itself from injury. Ice and ibuprofen are anti-inflammatory, so taking ibuprofen before exercise or icing a sore knee afterwards might be counterproductive. What Is a Better Approach to Healing Faster? According to Dr. Keith Baar, immobilizing a joint (“rest”) leads quickly to loss of muscle and force. When he put rats on bed rest (listen to learn how), they lost strength rapidly. On the other hand, moving a joint gently helps to reduce swelling by pumping fluid out. This, in turn, is an early step in healing faster. How do you move a joint gently? Dr. Baar has developed his own acronym: 3LD isometrics. How Do You Practice 3LD Isometrics? First of all, what does 3LD even mean? It stands for low-load, long-duration isometrics. During isometric exercise, instead of moving a muscle quickly, you hold it in position until it fatigues. Physical therapists recommend isometrics, such as planks or wall squats, to strengthen the muscles around joints. In low-load long-duration exercises, you provide some support so you are not putting your entire body weight on the joint. In other words, you lessen the load. Rather than moving quickly through the motion, you find the point at which you can feel the tension in the muscle but it doesn't actually hurt. Dr. Baar describes this as ooh instead of ouch. Then you hold that position (with the support, remember) for 30 seconds or so. This is a relatively long duration. Healing Faster from Sports Injuries Dr. Baar describes how he helped his nephew, a college-team football linebacker, heal an injured shoulder. Sports injuries are not the only joint problems that could benefit from healing faster with 3LD isometrics. Other common complaints are carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist or plantar fasciitis in the foot. Changing the Culture of Treating Injury Dr. Baar describes his work with a rugby player who injured his hamstring tendon and was able to resume playing much earlier than the surgeon initially anticipated. Baar's team has also worked with a basketball player who ruptured an Achilles tendon last year. Healing faster with 3LD isometric work got him back on the court last year–the only NBA player with such an injury to manage that. As elite athletes learn the advantages of 3LD isometrics, physical therapists will begin offering it to ordinary people who simply want to resume their usual activities sooner. This Week’s Guest Keith Baar, PhD, is a professor of molecular exercise physiology at the University of California, Davis who leads the Functional Molecular Biology Laboratory.

In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald sits down with neuroscientist and mitochondrial health researcher Dr. Siobhan Mitchell to explore emerging research on mitochondrial dysfunction, aging, and longevity. They discuss how mitochondria change as we age, how mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to chronic inflammation and age-related disease, and why supporting mitochondrial health could be an important strategy for extending healthspan. The conversation explores the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and biological aging, inflammation, cardiovascular and metabolic health, cognitive decline, and chronic disease. Dr. Mitchell also discusses emerging biomarkers of mitochondrial stress, including GDF-15, and what they may reveal about mitochondrial health and aging trajectories. Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Mitchell also examine practical and emerging approaches to supporting mitochondrial function, including creatine, NAD+ precursors, S-equol, exercise, and targeted mitochondrial support, along with research on vascular function, cellular energy production, and mitochondrial DNA damage. In this episode, you'll learn: How mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to inflammation and accelerated aging Why mitochondrial DNA damage could play a role in chronic disease What GDF-15 may reveal about mitochondrial stress and aging How creatine supports cellular and brain energy The connection between estrogen, S-equol, and mitochondrial health What emerging research says about NAD+ precursors and aging How targeted mitochondrial support may influence vascular health, exercise recovery, and cellular function Full show notes + references: https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ GUEST DETAILS Dr Siobhan Mitchell PhD., MitoQ Chief Scientific Officer Holding a PhD in neuroscience from SUNY Albany, Siobhan Mitchell has also completed a post-doctoral fellowship on brain aging at the University of Washington.

“Winners never quit” sounds inspiring—until persistence starts doing more harm than good. Journalist Lindsay Crouse, author of The Case for Quitting: The Surprising Benefits of Opting Out, explains why walking away can sometimes be the smartest path forward. Then Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Julia Keller shares ideas from Quitting: A Life Strategy: The Myth of Perseverance and How the New Science of Giving Up Can Set You Free. Together, they challenge our reflexive worship of grit and explore how to recognize when perseverance has become a trap.

What are you carrying around with you when you speak English at work? In this Confidence Session, I explore Ian Robertson's idea of “mental backpacks”. These are the labels, past experiences and beliefs that can quietly affect how you perform. We'll also look at why the right level of challenge can give you a boost, why things stop feeling rewarding once they become comfortable, and how beliefs about being a non-native speaker could be influencing you more than you realise.

Then, in Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being, Manoush Zomorodi looks at what screens and sitting are doing to our bodies, and why tiny acts of movement may be the rebellion we need.

What would more confidence actually allow you to do? In this epsiode on The Confidence Session series, I invite you to look beyond confidence itself and explore what it can lead to in your career and life. This is especially useful if you are lacking motivation or have had a difficult experience with English recently. We'll also look how the words you use before a high-pressure situation could influence how you perform. Book source: How Confidence Works, The New Science of Self Belief, Ian Robertson.

In this episode I share about the integration process AFTER having experienced an ayahuasca ceremony and I discuss psychedelic therapy and how it has the potential to rewire the brain, change the mind and allow us to release blocks that may be keeping us attached to old programming. While I do not endorse psychedelic use and maintain that this is something to be taken very seriously and done under supervision by ethical practitioners, I am fascinated by the neuroscience and potential for psychedelic therapy to reset our brains and reprogram our limiting beliefs.Link to Michael Pollan's Book: How To Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendencehttps://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mi...ZOOM BACKGROUND DESIGN BY FREEPIK.COM Music Credits: Track: Wandering — JayJen [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: • Wandering — JayJen | Free Background ...

What actually makes you take action when you feel confident? In this Confidence Session, I continue breaking down how confidence works by looking at two important beliefs: “I can do it” and “it can happen.” We'll explore what happens when one of those is missing, why feeling nervous doesn't necessarily mean you lack confidence, and what this could look like in your meetings, presentations and career.  Enjoy!

Hi everyone, Jim here. We're taking a short pause on new episodes through the end of August. In the meantime, we're digging out some of our favorite conversations from the archive. This one is from February 2023, so a few of the references have aged since (mine included), but the ideas have only gotten better. Enjoy this one with the wonderfully heretical Jesse Michels. Jesse Michels is an investor at Thiel Capital and the creator and host of 'American Alchemy', a Youtube channel dedicated to highlighting the most heretical thinkers and ideas of our time. He joins the show to discuss the transmission theory of consciousness, whether mushrooms are aliens, the reawakening of the Boomers and MUCH more!

Longevity expert Dr Florence Comite joins me to explain why testosterone, not estrogen, drives body composition and ageing in midlife women. Decline isn't inevitable - it's programmable. She unpacks why testosterone (which women carry in larger amounts than estrogen) drives muscle, visceral fat and brain fog from your 30s on, why only a third of us should fast, and the five biomarkers - fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, cholesterol risk ratio and free testosterone - that predict where your healthspan is headed and how to change it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why women carry more circulating testosterone than estrogen, and what its decline does to muscle, visceral fat and cognition from your 30s What "I don't feel like myself anymore" is actually signalling beneath the surface How cortisol quietly drives the anxiety-out-of-nowhere, the 2am wake-ups and the stubborn weight around your middle Why only a third of women should fast, and the 3-hour glucose test that tells you which third you're in What the five non-negotiable biomarkers reveal about where your healthspan is headed TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro: Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself After 35 - Peak Health, Testosterone Decline & the 30s Shift 05:52 - Perimenopause, Cortisol & Anxiety Out of Nowhere: Belly Fat, Sleep and the Caregiver Load 13:28 - Wearables, CGM & the Fasting Third/Third/Third: Measuring How Your Body Really Ages 20:11 - Who Should Actually Fast: The 3-Hour Glucose Test, Protein at Every Meal & the Oatmeal Trap 27:00 - Testosterone for Body Composition & Energy: UK Access, the 2024 Study & Protein for Muscle 33:46 - The 5 Biomarkers That Predict How You Age - Plus the 7 Patterns of Health Decline 39:37 - Decade by Decade for Women vs Men: Bone Loss, Osteoporosis, Andropause & Owning Your Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES - Invincible (Dr Comite's new book): https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/475986/invincible-by-comite-florence/9781529977066  - Dr Florence Comite's website: https://www.comitemd.com/  - Follow Dr Comite on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drflorencecomite/  AlgaeCal Plus*‡: Science-backed supplements designed to support healthy aging

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about why it is so difficult to raise families in this country. And the question of starting families is one of the unique and few spaces where the experience of women has been studied more than men. And while motherhood has attracted well-deserved attention, fatherhood has been relatively overlooked and often misunderstood.One of the researchers that has been changing this dynamic is Darby Saxbe, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. She has studied families and fathers for over two decades and just published a book, “Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives.”So KALW invited her to our live event space to talk about what we've learned in the last decade about the transformative power of fatherhood. She spoke to KALW Executive Producer and proud father Ben Trefny. He begins by talking about what it was like to become a dad.

Olympic medalist turned health-tech founder Andrew Steele says the problem isn't you: it's that "normal" and "optimal" are two different things. In this episode, he breaks down how DNA, microbiome, and blood testing expose what's really behind your fatigue, brain fog, and bloating. And why one test, one time, will never tell you the full story. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN -       Why small, consistent daily habits move the needle on longevity more than big lifestyle overhauls -       How the ACTN3 gene explains why "average" training and health advice doesn't work for everyone -       What DNA methylation is, and why taking more B vitamins can backfire if you have an MTHFR variant -       Why "normal" bloodwork isn't the same as optimal health -       How the PhenoAge biological age test measures how fast you're really aging -       Why bloating and brain fog in midlife women are often linked to the estrobolome and gut bacteria -       Why microbiome and blood testing needs to be repeated over time, not done once -       The best way to prepare for accurate blood and microbiome test results -       The three biomarkers Andrew recommends testing first: methylation, gut-brain axis, and ApoB -       Why wearables alone can't give you the full picture of your health -       How Stride is integrating oral microbiome testing and wearable data -       Why data and dashboards alone don't change behavior without human coaching -       What's inside Stride's ST01 liposomal multivitamin and why it's formulated around methylation   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Small Daily Habits, Genetics And The ACTN3 Gene Story 09:35 DNA Methylation, MTHFR And Why More B Vitamins Isn't Always The Fix 13:15 Why "Normal" Bloodwork Isn't Optimal, And The Biological Age Test 20:45 The Gut-Hormone Link In Midlife Women, And Why You Need To Retest 31:00 How To Get Accurate Results, And The 3 Biomarkers Worth Testing 36:45 The Future Of Health Tracking: Wearables, Oral Microbiome And Multiomics 40:30 Stride Membership Availability And Discount Code 43:45 Why Data Alone Won't Change Your Health Without Human Coaching 46:30 Inside Stride's ST01 Supplement, And Final Thoughts On Aging Well VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsor who make the show possible: • Stride - Find out your biological age and how your daily habits are influencing it with DNA, bloodwork and microbiome testing with a Stride One membership  https://www.getstride.com/angela/ for 10% off  -       Follow Andrew on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewsteele/  ABOUT THE GUEST   Andrew Steele is a former Olympic medalist sprinter turned genomics entrepreneur.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: The U.S. fertility rate dropped to another record low in 2025, according to provisional CDC data, marking a 23% drop since 2007. Jill Filipovic, attorney and author of several books, including OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2020),  and Karen Guzzo, director of the Carolina Population Center and a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explain what's behind the decline, the current Republican and far-right conservative policy plans to try and reverse those trends and what actually works to incentivize a growing population. Alex Mayyasi, a longtime contributor to Planet Money and the author of Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026), and Mary Childs, a co-host of NPR's Planet Money, offers insight into making decisions on getting and spending money and why markets work the way they do. Manoush Zomorodi, host of NPR's TED Radio Hour and author of Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being (Flatiron, 2026), talks about the impact on our bodies of our interactions with our phones and other tech -- and how to stay healthy and stay connected. Stephanie Coontz, director of research and public education at the Council on Contemporary Families and the author of The Way We Never Were; Marriage, a History; and now, For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage (Viking, May 26, 2026), offers historical context for the institution of marriage and examines the attitudes and policies that can strengthen it. Martha Nussbaum, professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago and the author of The Republic of Love: Opera & Political Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2026), offers her analysis of opera as an arm of the Enlightenment, from Mozart to today.   These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: Why U.S. Birth Rates Are Dropping Planet Money: The Book Our Bodies & Our Tech Marriage in Context Opera and Democracy   Photo: Labor Day weekend crowds at Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York, September 2020.

New Science Behind Reshaping Your BodyFor decades, we've been told that reshaping our bodies comes down to one simple formula: eat less and exercise more. But what if that advice is incomplete—or even keeping you stuck?In this episode, JJ Flizanes is joined once again by cardiologist and microbiome pioneer Dr. William Davis to explore the emerging science that's changing how we think about body composition, metabolism, aging, and long-term health. Together, they challenge the outdated focus on weight loss alone and introduce a more comprehensive approach to creating a healthier, stronger, and more resilient body.You'll discover why simply losing weight isn't enough—and how protecting your muscle, restoring your gut, regulating your nervous system, and reducing inflammation are all essential pieces of the puzzle.Dr. Davis explains the fascinating connections between the gut microbiome, liver function, insulin resistance, muscle mass, and abdominal fat, while JJ shares why unresolved emotional stress and nervous system dysregulation can prevent healing even when you're eating well and exercising consistently.Whether you're trying to lose fat, improve your energy, reverse metabolic dysfunction, navigate menopause, or simply age with strength and vitality, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what's really driving your health.In This EpisodeWhy "lose weight" is an outdated and potentially harmful health goalThe difference between losing weight and reshaping your bodyHow preserving and building muscle protects your metabolism and longevityThe newly discovered gut-muscle, gut-liver, and gut-brain connectionsWhy insulin resistance begins long before diabetesThe hidden role your microbiome plays in fat storage and fatty liverWhy exercise recommendations need to be far more specific than "move more"How resistance training supports healthy aging without creating bulky musclesThe impact of chronic stress, cortisol, and fight-or-flight on digestion, fat storage, and healingWhy emotional regulation is a critical missing piece in lasting body transformationEnvironmental factors—including microplastics, PFAS, and pesticides—that may be influencing your healthPractical ways to measure progress beyond the number on the scaleHow new science is reshaping our understanding of metabolic health and longevityKey TakeawaysYour body isn't simply responding to calories in versus calories out. It's responding to your microbiome, nervous system, hormones, muscle mass, inflammation, environmental exposures, and emotional state.True body transformation isn't about becoming smaller—it's about becoming healthier, stronger, more metabolically flexible, and creating an internal environment where healing can actually occur.Mentioned in This EpisodeThe New Body Blueprint Cruise (February 2027)The upcoming New Body Blueprint online home study programGut microbiome restorationSmall Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)Insulin resistanceFatty liverResistance training and muscle preservationNervous system regulationRadical Remission researchEnvironmental toxins and metabolic healthConnect with JJWebsite: https://jjflizanes.comLearn more about the New Body Blueprint and upcoming opportunities at: https://TheNewBodyBlueprint.comGet in on the 3 week class! https://jjflizanes.com/3steps

In this third episode of our four-part adolescent literacy miniseries, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Jeanne Schopf, interventionist, national literacy consultant, and editor of the new book Reading Isn't Optional: Fulfilling the Promise of Literacy for Secondary Students. Susan and Jeanne discuss why belief systems about at-risk readers are often the biggest barrier to change, and why that's true at every level of a school system. They also explore how scheduling, data, and coaching serve as system-level levers that principals and teachers can use to transform secondary literacy outcomes—and why leadership remains the single most powerful lever of all.Show notes:Our Summer Learning Academy is underway!
