214: In this episode, I'm diving into all things histamine—what it is, how it functions, and why it might be the missing link in your hormone and immune health journey. After sharing insights on the connection between histamine sensitivity and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the response was massive.  I'm unpacking why histamine issues are more than just food reactions, how they relate to estrogen, menopause, and chronic inflammation, and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I've dealt with histamine challenges my whole life and supported countless patients through it.  This episode is a deep, honest look at the bigger picture behind histamine imbalance. Topics Discussed:  What are the symptoms of histamine intolerance and how is it connected to hormone imbalances? How does histamine affect estrogen levels and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? What causes high histamine levels and how can you support balance naturally? What is the difference between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)? How do lifestyle factors, diet, and gut health influence histamine sensitivity? Sponsored By: Nutrisense | Head over to nutrisense.io/drtyna to get 30% off your Nutrisense plan.

You might have noticed that everyone has recently become a bit obsessed with blood sugar, or glucose. Wellness firms such as Zoe in the UK – as well as Nutrisense, Levels and Signos – claim to offer insights into how our bodies process food based on monitoring our blood glucose, among other things. But many researchers have begun to question the science behind this. In this episode from July, Ian Sample talks to the philosopher Julian Baggini, Zoe's chief scientist, the University of Oxford academic dietician Dr Nicola Guess, and the King's College London nutrition expert Prof Sarah Berry to find out what we know about blood glucose levels and our health, and whether the science is nailed down on personalised nutrition.

If you're curious to try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), this episode is a must-watch!Blood sugar regulation and metabolic health are HOT topics right now, and considering that some skin issues (like psoriasis) make you prone towards having issues, I frequently have these conversations with clients.Being that I'm perimenopause with a family history of diabetes, I thought it would be a good idea to try a over the counter CGM monitor purely to gain insight into my blood sugar balance and metabolic health.The most frequent question is “is trying a continous glucose monitor worth it?”While using a CGM monitor is quite straightforward, I can see why someone might wonder about this. And while I went into my two-week experiment with a bit of skepticism, I discovered a few crazy important things that I couldn't have figured out any other way.So let's dive into why I do believe that a continuous glucose monitor can be a useful tool, who should (and shouln't) use this type of device, what the experience was like putting on and removing the CMG monitor, and what I wish I knew before I tried it the first time.Let's dive in!In This Episode:Who should (and shouldn't) try a continuous glucose monitorHow to use a CGM monitorWhat I learned about my blood sugar from using an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitorWhat NOT to do with a continous glucose monitor (I wish I knew this when I tried it the first time)How often should you use a CGM (if you're not diabetic)?CGM monitor tips: What's actually stuck to your arm?The over the counter continuous glucose monitor I triedQuotes“And the group of people who I think…should probably work with a nutrition or medical professional while using a CGM would be somebody who has a history of eating disorders…and those who have significant disordered eating patterns. If you feel like knowing that a particular meal or food is going to make you terrified to eat that food, don't do this on your own.”“The other thing that did seem to spike my blood sugar was when I didn't eat soon enough…if I just pushed through the hunger and pushed off eating in a window of time, that's when I would start to see my blood sugar spike on its own.”LinksUse THIS LINK to save $50 off of your first month on NutrisenseHealthy Skin Show ep. 217: Health Concerns Linked to Psoriasis (You SHOULD Know About)Healthy Skin Show ep. 347: Adult Hormonal Acne + Blood Sugar Dysfunction: What's The Connection?

Sharing a new podcast episode with Dr. Peter Martone about sleep, how sleep posture affects your health, and tips you can implement right now. We talk about: - How sleep posture impacts your health - The ideal sleep posture - Keys to getting a great night's sleep and so.much.more. 176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone Here's more about Dr. Martone and his background:  Dr. Peter Martone is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient's biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor. Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine effects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Martone's core belief is that the central nervous system controls every function in the human body and in order to be able to express true health you have to keep your nervous system healthy. When your spine falls out of alignment due to poor spinal mechanics, it interferes with the proper function of the nervous system thus throwing the body out of balance. Peter's mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life. During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. His patients were coming in with the same problems which inspired him to come up with an innovative solution to help correct patients spines while they sleep. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patients spines while they sleep. Dr. Martone's revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey's Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping.

Stunning as it may sound, nearly half of Americans ages 20 years and up – or more than 122 million people – have high blood pressure, according to a 2023 report from the American Heart Association.  In this lesson I will share the worst blood pressure advice given to you from your doctor, the real cause of high blood pressure, and easy steps to naturally lower high blood pressure.  Most doctors will tell you high blood pressure is a result of a diet high in salt. The belief that salt consumption raises blood pressure is based on bogus science. It originates from French scientists more than 100 years ago, who 'based their findings on just six patients'. Salt, emphasizing its role in maintaining proper hydration, supporting adrenal function, and enhancing nutrient absorption. Salt helps the body balance fluids, regulate nerve and muscle function, and maintain acid-base balance. For people who are active or on low-carb or ketogenic diets, salt intake is even more essential, as they can lose more sodium through sweat and reduced insulin levels. DiNicolantonio explains that salt can also improve blood flow, support cardiovascular health, and reduce cravings for sugar by balancing electrolyte levels.  What is the real cause of high blood pressure?  High levels and blood glucose and insulin! Eating too many carbohydrates inhibits the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is responsible for vasodilation. When the blood vessels constrict because of the lack of NO, the heart has to work harder. This is what increases blood pressure!  How do you measure your blood sugar and insulin levels? Fasting insulin Fasting blood sugars Post prandial glucose  CGM KETO MOJO 5 ways to naturally lower high blood pressure. Your first step is to replace insulin producing foods with foods that lower insulin. This will lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels.  The second step: Eat the 5 best foods proven by science to lower blood pressure, The third step: eliminate snacking in between meals and practice time restricted feeding. The fourth step: Consider supplementation The fifth step: breath through your nostrils and hum/sing // RESOURCES MENTIONED:

What if you could have your cake, eat it—AND keep your blood sugar stable all in the same sitting? I know it sounds impossible, especially if you're feeling stuck in a never-ending loop of energy crashes and cravings.  But trust me—there's a way to make it work! And today, we're going to show you how. In this episode, Kara Collier, co-founder of NutriSense, Registered Dietitian (RD), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC), joins me to break down the real-life power of using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). She'll walk you, step-by-step, through the BEST way to track how your body handles food, movement, stress, and even those occasional sugar slips.  You'll learn how to use this simple metabolism-saving tool to turn daily habits like a quick walk or late breakfast into powerful strategies for boosting your energy, shedding unwanted weight and belly fat, and even reducing your risk of chronic disease.  If you've been wanting to feel more in control of your body AND use your meals to create lasting energy and resilience… This is the episode you've been waiting for! Tune in and get ready to transform your metabolism into an energy-producing, fat-melting powerhouse.  IN THIS EPISODE Discover how Kara uses CGMs to track food, movement, and even occasional treats like chocolate-covered pretzels. Learn why a quick burst of movement, like jump squats with your kids, can dramatically lower your glucose levels. Find out how stress, poor sleep, and late-night snacks can spike your blood sugar—and how to fix it. Get practical tips for timing meals to improve energy and reduce glucose spikes. Explore how hormonal shifts in midlife affect your metabolism—and what you can do to stay balanced. And more!  QUOTES "Any type of movement can really help your metabolic health and glucose control. So it can be really simple things... squats, walks, just moving throughout the day makes a huge impact."  "When we're eating meals, we want to see how high your glucose goes and how quickly it comes back down to baseline. That's really what you want to pay attention to."  "You can literally have your cake and eat it too. You just need to be mindful—whether it's with movement before or after, or adjusting your meal slightly, the flexibility is there." "Often, people think, 'I'll never eat cake again.' But actually, using tools like a CGM gives you the freedom to find what works for your body, instead of restricting everything."  RESOURCES MENTIONED NutriSense – Learn more about continuous glucose monitoring Kara Collier's Instagram: @KaraCollierRD RELATED EPISODES  #603: Embracing Womanhood, Cultivating Deep Connection and Nourishing Your Body to Metabolically Thrive with Dr. Mindy Pelz #602: The Right and Wrong Way to Lose Weight + Overcoming Panic Attacks by Feeling Safe in Your Body with Michelle Shapiro #601: The Food You Eat Will Impact Your Menopause Journey + Foods to Ease Menopause and Promote Longevity with Dr. Federica Amati #555: The Root Cause of Inflammatory Diseases and How To Get Metabolically Fit with Dr. Casey Means Learn more about your ad choices.

When you are struggling with all of the symptoms of a hormonally imbalanced body (which by the way is a common part of going through perimenopause) one of the first steps I focus on for myself and my clients is to manage blood sugar levels. Choosing nutrition that creates consistent blood sugar in the body will improve sleep, reduce cravings and fatigue, reduce cortisol and give the body the space it needs to metabolize and balance our hormones themselves…keeping all of those terrible symptoms away…not to mention aid our bodies in shifting from fat storage to fat burning…sounds pretty great right?!?   Although managing your blood glucose on your own is possible, I have fallen in love with an amazing tool called a Continuous Glucose Monitor (or CGM) from a company called Nutrisense which you wear on your body and not only gives you immediate feedback on how your specific blood sugar is being affected by your food choices, but also how to improve energy, sleep, fitness and therefore results. On this episode of the pod,  I am fortunate enough to have the amazing Catherine Staffieri, a nutrition and glucose expert and registered dietician with Nutrisense, to chat about the impact of glucose on hormones, perimenopause and menopause, weight loss and the incredible benefits of using a CGM as a tool to help you feel your best.   Catherine is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist currently working as a Nutrition Manager at Nutrisense, one of the fastest growing healthtech start-ups aimed to help anyone discover and reach their health potential.

She holds a Masters in Nutrition Education from Columbia University and completed her undergrad work at the University of Pennsylvania. She enjoys cooking, spending time with her 3 kids, traveling and being active.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 676 How can technology help you return to homeostasis and achieve sustainable weight loss? Kara Collier, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Co-Founder of NutriSense, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 676, to discuss the importance of fostering a healthy relationship with food, using technology like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to better understand your body's signals, and why mindfulness, compassion, and balance are essential for long-term nutritional and emotional well-being. "When we are given a prescriptive diet and follow this one exact thing, it's really hard for many of us to actually stick to that long term. But when we see our personal data and how our body responds, it's much more meaningful and it's a lot more sustainable long term." - Kara Collier $50 Off NutriSense The Nutrisense CGM Program pairs powerful data and expert guidance to set you on the path to improved metabolic health. Analyze in real-time how your glucose levels respond to food, exercise, stress, and sleep. CGMs can help you take the guesswork out of understanding your blood glucose levels. When you join the subscription program, you'll receive a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that monitors your glucose 24/7. Their program offers expert guidance to help you interpret that data to reach your full health potential. The Nutrisense app is a powerful tool that lets you track your daily activity to see how food, sleep, exercise, and stress impact your glucose. Real-time insights from a continuous glucose monitor give you a view into your blood glucose trends.

Why the "clear your plate" mentality doesn't help children have a healthy approach to food. How attaching 'good' and 'bad' labels to foods creates a feeling of punishment or reward. We should educate children about how food benefits us and where it comes from. [07:35] How to Teach Children About Nutrition How parents can teach their children about healthy eating. Why we don't listen to the natural signals of our bodies. Restrictive diets are often unhealthy. [12:05] NutriSense Technology Why most people don't realize when their glucose level drops or spikes. How NutriSense technology helps people understand their body signals. Why instant data aids us to enhance our intuition and motivate us. [16:50] Modern Lifestyle Works Against Human Biology Why we need technology for health optimization. How the vast majority of people can benefit from using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Why we're biologically driven to not spend energy. How the food system works against the human biology. Why our modern lifestyle makes it difficult for us to live healthy. [23:35] Continuous Glucose Monitoring Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How Josh found out what foods are not good for him through data tracking. Everyone is a unique individual and reacts differently to different foods. How mindfulness around food helps us make empowered choices. Why following our own data is more sustainable long-term than following a specific diet. [28:40] Nutrient Timing How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults How exercise can improve glucose levels and metabolic health. We store glucose molecules in our skeleton muscles as glycogen. How regular exercise creates better communication patterns within the body. [33:05] Understanding Glucose How intense exercise like CrossFit creates a glucose spike to create energy. Why consistency ensures the best results. Early stages of insulin resistance start in the muscle. The importance of strength training. [37:05] Is Fruit Healthy? How lactic acid is produced in the muscles. Why juicing fruit and eating too much fruit can be bad for us. Pairing fruit with protein and fat after a workout. How misinformation is being spread on social media. [41:00] Orthorexia: How to Live in Harmony with Food How Josh struggled with overeating and starving himself when he was younger. Why we need to develop a long-term healthy relationship with food. How CGM helped Kara with mental blocks around food. We can take healthy eating to the extreme and develop Orthorexia. How Kara was chasing the dopamine reward through food.

How increasing our awareness creates an agency of choice. [51:30] How to Cultivate Awareness We have to train the mind to achieve a sustainable behavior change. How we're lacking good quality information. Everyone has the potential to gain awareness and make healthier choices for themselves. How habits become part of our identity. [58:20] Healing from Perfectionism How striving for perfection hurts us. Why NutriSense has a team of professionals who help clients optimize their eating habits. Behind perfectionism is fear. Why we need consistency more than perfection. The "all or nothing" mindset doesn't get us anywhere. [01:06:20] Food Healing Journey Why having support from friends and family has helped Kara on her health journey. Vulnerability opens up the door to healing. How emotional support is what patients need to create a positive and long-term change. [01:11:05] All or Nothing? The bridge between knowing and doing. Why rigidity and extreme discipline stop us from success. We shouldn't feel like a failure when we don't stick to our regime. How extreme ownership creates responsibility. Why people get stuck in the negative loop of guilt and shame. [01:19:10] Path of Purpose Why some men need tough discipline to start their journey of evolution. Having purpose and passion is a key component of wellness. Why Kara enjoys learning new skills and challenging herself. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Glucose Monitoring Builds Awareness "CGM is a new metric that can reflect your health back at you. We don't have an emotional tie to a lot of our body signals so the CGM can be an unbiased way to build awareness." - Kara Collier Healthy Decisions "I don't need to eliminate everything that's bad from my life in order to be healthy. I just need to know what works for me in different situations and to make good decisions at different inflection points. People want good health, that's the thing they want to control. But we don't have to be perfect to be there. We actually just need to be consistent." - Kara Collier Become An Active Driver "The current environment is going to push you towards obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia if you become passive rather than an active driver. But when you're empowered with the right information and you make the choices to actually consistently move forward with that information, then you can be an active driver, even if the environment is working against you." - Kara Collier Links From Today's Show  Kara Collier NutriSense 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults

She explains how CGM works, the benefits of tracking glucose levels, and how it can help individuals make informed dietary choices. Catherine also highlights the various metrics and scores provided by NutriSense, such as fasting glucose, morning average, and variability score, and how they can be used to assess insulin resistance and overall glucose control. She emphasizes the significance of postprandial movement and the impact of lifestyle factors, such as stress and screen time, on glucose levels. #JoshuaJHolland #CatherineStaffieri #NutriSense #HealthTech #ContinuousGlucoseMonitors #PersonalizedHealth #GlucoseData #LifestyleChanges #SupportStructure #GlucoseLevels #DietaryChoices #InsulinResistance #GlucoseControl #PostprandialMovement #StressManagement #ProteinRichMeals |

Hi friends! I'm so excited to welcome Brian Murphy to the podcast today! I tracked him down at the Biohacking Conference because I loved his company, their mission, and his overall energy and vibe. I could tell he was just a genuine, cool, positive person, and I knew he'd be an amazing fit for the show. Here's what we talk about today: - What are adaptogens and how do they work? - Our broken food system and the purpose behind Living Prana - Cultivating a positive mindset and creating motivation, even when you don't feel like it - His tips for being Healthy In Real Life - and so.much.more.  171: The power of adaptogens with Brian Murphy Here's more about Brian and his background: Brian is the CEO and co-founder of LIVING PRANA, a functional food company transforming unhealthy packaged foods with nutrient-dense superfoods. He is a champion for reform of a U.S. food system to provide food that creates health, raising the bar on transparency, integrity and sustainability for the businesses feeding America.   A former investment banker and strategic growth leader, he has invested in, advised, and built businesses for the past 15 years, working shoulder-to-shoulder with many entrepreneurs and leading growth for private equity-backed and public companies. Brian is a Chartered Financial Analyst. Combining this business experience with mindfulness practices, Brian is leading an evolution into a new conscious business paradigm that is accountable to its community, stakeholders and to the planet. In 2016, Brian hit a radical turning point as significant stressors drove his physical and mental health into a crisis – he called off a wedding, lost 65 pounds and sold his first business. This unlocked his passion to inspire others to prioritize their well-being using food as medicine after saving his own physical and mental health with functional foods. As Brian furthered his spiritual discovery, the path illuminated for him to create businesses that fulfill a greater purpose aligned with his transformation while healing people and the planet.  In 2020, after the beginning of his spiritual journey, Brian flipped the keys on a longstanding successful corporate career to bet on himself as an impact creator and align his personal values with his entrepreneurial efforts. After his lifelong physical health struggles, his involvement in the business side of surgery and watching health decay of his loved friends and family, Brian dedicated his impact to build businesses that help optimize physical and mental well-being of everyone whose lives he touches.

Today, I'm fortunate to welcome Kara Collier back to the show for her third appearance. She is the co-founder and VP of Health at Nutrisense, one of America's fastest-growing wellness-tech startups, where she leads the health team. She is a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient, frequent podcast guest & conference speaker. Kara has made it her mission to help others reach optimal health using modern technology & expert coaching. In addition to being a leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology by nondiabetics, she is championing the use of the human connection to heighten the impact of tech innovations in the healthcare industry. In this episode, Kara explains that many people mistakenly believe that glucose is only relevant for those with diabetes, but in reality, it's a key indicator of overall metabolic health. Metabolic health, which drives essential bodily functions like cell growth and energy regulation, relies on glucose as a fuel source. Monitoring glucose levels provides valuable insights into how efficiently the body's metabolic system functions. Kara highlights the significant impact of stress on glucose levels, noting that not only food but also mental and emotional states can trigger spikes. Stressful situations can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which in turn increase glucose. She emphasizes the importance of being mindful of one's state of mind, particularly before eating, as stress can hinder digestion and exacerbate glucose responses. Incorporating relaxation techniques can help mitigate these effects.

Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I'm so excited for you to hear this one. Joel Greene is today's guest, and I felt like I could have talked to him for hours.  Here's what we talk about in today's episode: - Nutritionl for metabolism and reducing inflammation - How to navigate conflicting health info - Whey and dairy and how they can actually be superfoods - How GMOs and industrial seed oils affect gut health and inflammatory fat cells and so.much.more. 169: The Immunity Code Diet and why dairy isn't the enemy with Joel Greene Joel Greene is the author of The Way: Immunity Code Diet and The Immunity Code, the very first gut-health protocol teacher, and the original biohacker that utilizes the family of insulin hormones and the immune system to create lasting health. In 2007, Joel published the very first article to the public on the microbiome and the relationship to weight loss, creating a name for himself in the wellness space. By 2009, he had created the first nutrition system based on gut health to help people lose weight and feel better, called the VEEP Nutrition System, and it was used by large cities, like Phoenix and Houston, as well as large corporations, like Technicolor and a major hospital chain. This proprietary system was also featured on Dr. Phil. By 2013, before any present day gut health gurus existed, he had over 16,000 research outcomes targeting the microbiome for health and weight. Joel's work has also been featured in several well known media outlets like Muscle and Fitness, CBS online, 24 Hour Fitness Digital Magazine, among others. In late 2019, he published The Immunity Code, widely regarded as one of the most influential health books of this decade. The book launched several biohacking practices trending in the mainstream health and biohacking narrative today, like mouth taping, targeting Akkermansia for gut health, HMO's, no warm up sprints, microdosing exercise, the use of supplements like berberine and apigenin, and many other biohacks.  Joel has been featured on top podcasts like Ben Greenfield, Mark Bell Power Project, the Minimalists and others, for his deep inquiries and unique discoveries known for optimizing health. Joel's new book, The Way: The Immunity Code Diet, introduces an entirely new framework diet to achieve real and lasting health, and finally puts an end to the dietary confusion of this age.  About The Way: The Immunity Code Book: The Way is the sequel to the influential biohacking book, The Immunity Code, highlighting a framework for a simple diet that optimizes the immune system and insulin family of hormones to achieve lasting health. The Way creates clarity around what, when, and how to eat, resulting in reduced inflammation, weight loss, and a longer life span. The diet comprises 48-hour cycles of eating that mimic natural eating plans—the first 24 hours are for foraging, and the second 24 hours are for fasting, and high protein/fats, as well as taking into account seasons, scarcity, social interaction, sleep, and balance. Joel's mission with The Way—to put an end to dietary confusion and restrictive food-exclusionist approaches, and instead re-introduce simplicity and dietary diversity.

Today Ben sheds some light on the 5 worst carnivore mistakes causing weight gain and disease. You may be surprised by these little known secrets of carnivore. #1 Not Eating Enough Fat: A common misconception is that the carnivore diet is all about protein. However, adequate fat intake is crucial for energy, satiety, and hormone balance. Neglecting fat can lead to fatigue, hunger, and nutrient deficiencies. #2 Not Prioritizing Organ Meats: Organ meats like liver, kidney, and heart are nutritional powerhouses, packed with essential vitamins and minerals that are often lacking in muscle meat alone. Skipping organ meats can lead to deficiencies over time. #3 Not Managing Electrolytes: The carnivore diet can lead to changes in electrolyte balance, particularly sodium and potassium. Not paying attention to electrolyte intake can result in headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps, and other health issues. #4 Not Transitioning Gradually: Jumping into the carnivore diet too quickly can shock the body and cause digestive issues, fatigue, and other side effects. A gradual transition is crucial to allow the body to adapt to the changes in food intake. #5 Doing the carnivore diet for too long. Ignoring Individual Needs: Every person is different, and the carnivore diet may not be suitable for everyone. Ignoring individual needs and preferences can lead to frustration, burnout, and potential health complications. RESOURCES MENTIONED:

I decided to give the carnivore diet a shot. I ate nothing but meat for 90 days in a row. I decided to get extensive lab testing done on day 1 and day 90. You will not believe my day 90 results. Why did I decide to do carnivore? The benefits of carnivore. The lab tests that were done: Comprehensive blood work Stool test  Other metrics tracked. Sleep HRV Resting heart rate Total weight Body fat % Digestion  Bowel movements  THE RESULTS…. Before I get into the specific lab results, I'll share these results. I lost 16 pounds of fat (show photos of me in front of mirror) in folder. 3 photos.  My sleep improved. HRV improved. Resting heart rate. Got up less times throughout the night. Digestion was great, minimal gas. I pooped less but not constipated.  Nothing substantial to report in regards to blood sugar, it was pretty stable, between 70-110 mg/dl throughout. 

I'm so excited to be chatting with Seed Co-founder Ara Katz today. Here's what we discuss: - The microbiome and how we can best support it - The creation of Seed - The importance of the vaginal microbiome and supporting this delicate ecosystem — we're going to hear more and more about this  - Her tips for being Healthy in Real Life and so much more.  166: The power of the microbiome with Seed co-founder, Ara Katz   Here's more about Ara and her background:  You might already be familiar with Seed from their flagship product, DS-01®, which has garnered mass attention and the title of the #1 selling probiotic, gaining attention from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Karlie Kloss, and Cameron Diaz. But the story behind Seed and Ara herself extends far beyond their acclaimed product. Ara is a dynamic three-time founder (recently named to CNBC's inaugural Changemakers list) who has built, advised, and invested in some of the most notable consumer brands across consumer, health, and tech. Her path to science began not in a lab but with personal challenges –– 20 years ago, her mom's pancreatic cancer diagnosis ignited her passion for health and science. Later, Ara was introduced to the microbiome by way of a miscarriage, struggles with breastfeeding, and the realization of how little science informed the products she turned to. It was this journey that led her to found Seed Health. Seed has seen 800+% revenue growth in the last 3 years, but it isn't just a commercial success story; it's the culmination of Ara's lifelong passion for technology, storytelling, and design, all harnessed to leverage science for humanity's benefit. In addition to her role as CEO, Ara oversees the company's environmental research under SeedLabs, and co-directs LUCA Biologics, the company's venture targeting the vaginal microbiome for the future of women's health. Now, Ara is expanding Seed's impact beyond the gut, with its first innovation targeting the vaginal microbiome –– a watershed moment for women's health.

Today, I am fortunate to have Dr. Don Clum with me for the fourth time. He is the founder and owner of Insulin Friendly Living, a virtual practice specializing in insulin resistance and advanced metabolic nutrition.  In this episode, Dr. Don Clum explains that one in eight adults in the United States, or around 40 million people, are taking Ozempic or similar GLP-1 drugs primarily for weight loss. He highlights that these drugs work by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates insulin secretion and hunger signals. However, the drugs cause side effects by artificially creating a feeling of fullness, leading to nausea, vomiting, and severe digestive issues like gastroparesis. Additionally, long-term use can result in muscle wasting and insulin resistance as the body adapts to the drug's high levels of GLP-1, causing significant metabolic imbalances and potential health risks.

Today, I am fortunate to welcome Spencer Feldman back to the show for the fourth time. Spencer is the founder of https://remedylink.com/ — where, for the last 20 years, he has been formulating and manufacturing detoxification products for doctors and their patients. His company specializes in helping support your body's natural responses to heavy metal toxins.  Spencer discusses three severe diagnoses: Lyme disease, cancer, and gadolinium poisoning, with the latter being potentially the worst. He focuses on cancer, emphasizing the need for better understanding due to its prevalence. Criticizing the conventional "war on cancer" approach, he prefers the term "feral tissue" to reflect that cancerous cells were once normal. Later, Spencer explains that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced in the large intestine's microbiome and can injure tissues. When injured, tissue converts into stem cells to aid repair, which he likens to the transformation seen in cancerous or "feral" tissue. He suggests this may be an intentional response to injury rather than a mistake.

If you've been struggling to lose stubborn fat no matter how much you diet or exercise, then I've got the perfect solution for you… I'll be sharing 7 key ingredients for you to have 1 tablespoon of each day, which puts your metabolism into a fat burning state.  These ingredients have one thing in common… They work with your mitochondria to create mitochondrial uncoupling. The mitochondria are VERY important not only for health but for fat loss. When you have healthy mitochondria producing energy (ATP) it raises your metabolic rate so you burn more calories sitting on the couch.  The goal is to create this process while reducing oxidative stress. Some of the items I'm going to share with you allow your body to produce ketones. Ketones act as signaling molecules that achieve 400% MORE energy via mitochondrial biogenesis.  This is where mitochondrial uncoupling comes into play. The other impact we are looking to achieve comes from reducing your postprandial glucose levels. The goal is to optimize postprandial glucose levels, meaning your blood sugar levels after eating. The higher your blood sugar after eating, the faster you store body fat.  When you eat food, your body converts the food into chains of sugar called glycogen. Your body has a tightly controlled system for sugar in the bloodstream, and what is considered optimal for health and fat loss is 80 mg/dL. Which is 1 teaspoon of sugar in your entire blood stream! After you've eaten, sugar in your bloodstream is elevated, which signals to your pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin is an energy sensor that shuttles the sugar out of your bloodstream, and into your cells. First the sugar gets stored in your glycogen stores, (liver and muscle cells) When your glycogen stores get full, and sugar continues to be elevated in your bloodstream, then your metabolism shuttles this sugar into your fat cells. The longer the sugar stays in your blood, the more insulin required, and the more you keep your body in a fat storage state.   Postprandial glucose is a measurement of this process. The faster we can clear this glucose after eating, and efficiently pack them in your muscle and liver cells, the faster you'll burn stubborn fat and lose weight.

Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and today, I'm chatting with Dr. Casey Kelley. 163: Autoimmune, Lyme, and gut health with Dr. Casey Kelley, MD Here are some of the things we talk about: How to prevent and treat tick-borne disease The autoimmune diseases impacting more than 24 million Americans, and recommendations for stabilizing and potentially reversing the course of these diseases Steps for detoxing in an inherently toxic world Gut health and so much more. Here's more about Dr. Casey and her background: Since the beginning of her medical career, Dr. Casey Kelley, M.D. continually asked questions about health, longevity, and healing that conventional medicine didn't answer. Seeking those answers, she began studying Functional Medicine to complement her traditional medical studies. Utilizing this multi-disciplinary approach, Dr. Kelley has been at the forefront of Integrative Medicine, devoting her career to treating patients in a highly personalized manner that focuses as much on overall health and wellness as it does on specific issues and diagnoses. Board Certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Kelley was among the first physicians to add a board certification in Integrative Medicine as well. She has studied the causes, effects, and treatments of Lyme Disease extensively, and lectures nationally on this and other topics. Dr. Kelley graduated from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed her residency in Family Medicine at St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago. She is a ten-year member of the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM), a Treasurer of The International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS), and is a Founding Member of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM). Dr. Kelley is on the faculty at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Prior to founding Case Integrative Health, Dr. Kelley practiced medicine at WholeHealth Chicago, Michigan Avenue Immediate Care, and St. Joseph Hospital. You can connect with her here.
