Process foods dominate the modern diet—and drive diabetes. Davis shows how low-calorie-density whole foods can restore satiety and health. #UPFs #ProcessedFoodCrisis #HealthyEating

There's SO much information about wellness hacks, it's hard to know what's worth trying. And then there are pharmaceuticals like GLP-1 medications that seem like the magic bullet for metabolic health. With all of these, are we setting ourselves up for the next public health crisis? Before you or someone you love considers a pharmaceutical or biohack, listen to this episode. Jenn Trepeck of Salad with a Side of Fries breaks down why the wellness industry deserves more credit than mainstream media gives it, and why pharmaceutical solutions like GLP-1 medications and statins cannot carry the full weight of America's health crisis. From affordable, healthy eating strategies to the alarming long-term risks of overreliance on a single hormone pathway, Jenn makes a compelling, research-backed case for a more comprehensive approach to metabolic health. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why GLP-1 medications may be following the same trajectory as statin drugs, and what that historical pattern reveals about where we are headed with metabolic health and long-term outcomes.✅ How eating in season and shopping at ethnic grocery stores can make whole foods nutrition genuinely affordable, healthy eating for more people, regardless of income level.✅ The critical connection between reduced food intake on GLP-1 medications, nutrient deficiency, and the alarming rise of osteoporosis and cancer risk, especially for younger populations and children.✅ Why fat cell memory and the Minnesota Starvation Experiment both reveal that weight loss without lifestyle medicine and nutritional education is unlikely to produce lasting results.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into real-life wellness and weight loss, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why mainstream media voices unfairly dismiss the wellness industry05:50 A critique of how major journalists cover GLP-1 medications without consulting balanced sources or opposing viewpoints13:33 The argument that pharmaceutical solutions have become the default answer instead of addressing the root causes of metabolic health issues22:29 Discussion of income, access, and why processed foods are cheaper than whole foods nutrition is a structural public health failure30:37 Practical tips for affordable healthy eating, including seasonal eating and shopping at ethnic grocery stores for better quality produce34:39 The GLP-1 conversation begins in earnest, with Jenn explaining why she calls them our generation's statin drug37:02 A deep dive into statin drug statistics, heart disease rates, and why more prescriptions have not produced better cardiovascular health outcomes41:14 Jenn outlines her predictions, including rising osteoporosis risk, bone density loss, and increased colorectal cancer risk tied to low fiber intake44:31 The role of fat cell memory, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, and why GLP-1 medications without lifestyle medicine will not produce lasting changeKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Don walks through the historical context behind early guidelines, including where things may have gone off track, particularly around the treatment of fat, cholesterol, and protein-rich foods.From there, the discussion moves into the science. Don outlines the limitations of relying heavily on observational nutrition research and contrasts this with findings from controlled trials, particularly in relation to protein requirements and metabolic health. He explains why he recommended a shift to the new protein targets to better support muscle, satiety, and overall health.Dr. Donald Layman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Layman has been a leader in research about protein, nutrition for athletic performance, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular health. Dr. Layman has over 100 peer-reviewed publications. He has received numerous awards for his research from the American Society for Nutrition and the National Institutes for Health and for his nutrition teaching. Dr. Layman currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior and on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, and Nutrition Research and Practice. Dr. Layman has an extensive consulting background including work with NASA, the Shriners Children's Hospital, the US Air Force plus numerous food companies and organizations including Kraft Foods, Nestlé, Agropur and the National Dairy Council.

Craving junk food when you're stressed isn't a lack of discipline — it's biology. In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down what ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods actually do inside your body — from your metabolism to your hormones, your brain, and your stress response. But this isn't about guilt or shame. It's about understanding what you're up against — especially as a parent trying to make better choices in a world designed to make that difficult. You'll learn: What ultra-processed foods really are How they impact your endocrine system and metabolism Why stress makes you crave sugar and processed foods Why shame around food doesn't work (and never will) Simple, realistic ways to improve your family's eating habits This episode is about taking back control — without perfection, and without guilt.   Mechanism-Anchored References Monteiro, Carlos A., et al. “Ultra-Processed Foods: What They Are and How to Identify Them.” Public Health Nutrition, vol. 22, no. 5, 2019, pp. 936–941.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. William Li — internal medicine physician, vascular biologist, and founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation — to talk about something we were never really taught in medical school: how specific foods work at a molecular level to prevent and even fight disease. We get into the science behind everyday foods like black coffee, soy, eggs, and oats — cutting through the myths and the fear-based messaging that has, frankly, done a lot of harm. Will walks us through why soy does not cause breast cancer (and may actually protect against it), why egg quality matters more than cholesterol fear, and what his lab's recent research on oats and wound healing reveals about the untapped potential of whole foods.  00:00 Introduction to Dr. William Li and Angiogenesis 01:06 The Role of Food in Health and Disease 02:36 Debunking Myths: Soy and Breast Cancer 07:30 The Importance of Nutrition Education in Medicine 09:58 The Truth About Eggs and Their Health Benefits 13:21 Recent Discoveries: Oats and Their Bioactive Properties 15:29 Innovative Wound Healing with Avananthramide 17:10 The Role of Diet in Cancer Treatment 17:56 Communicating Science to the Public 21:53 Empowering Patients Through Knowledge 24:00 Exploring Everyday Remedies: Coffee and Wound Healing 25:45 OuttroVVP.mp3 26:22 NEWCHAPTER Wish to help the show?

 Should future doctors learn more about nutrition in medical school? U.S. health officials are urging schools to add about 40 hours of nutrition training so doctors can better understand how diet affects health and disease. While many schools have agreed to adopt the change by 2026, some experts say nutrition alone won't solve complex health problems. (Source: The Guardian)

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, host Liv Hill discusses the importance of food tracking as a foundational tool for intuitive eating. She emphasizes that tracking is not a permanent solution but a means to build awareness and understanding of one's body and nutritional needs. The conversation explores the relationship between health and fat loss, the benefits of tracking, and the distinction between triggers and discomfort in the context of food tracking. Liv encourages listeners to reframe their perspective on tracking as a valuable feedback mechanism rather than a restrictive practice.

284: In this episode, I'm joined by Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to break down one of the most ambitious state-led health initiatives we've seen yet. We dive deep into Louisiana's MAHA bill, SB14, which tackles everything from seed oil disclosures and ingredient regulation to nutrition training for doctors. This conversation is about reframing health, challenging political division, and proving that eating real, nutrient dense food doesn't have to be expensive - it just has to be prioritized. Topics Discussed: → What is Louisiana's MAHA bill (SB14) and how will it change the food system? → Why is Louisiana requiring seed oil disclosures? → How does nutrition education for doctors impact healthcare outcomes? → Can food-first, root-cause care reduce chronic disease in children? → How is Louisiana prioritizing local food and farmers in school meals?

In this episode, I sit down with Australian nutritionist and gut-health expert Angela Genoni to unpack the most misunderstood areas of digestive health. We cover the gut symptoms people ignore, why the carnivore diet can appear to “work,” where supplements fit in, and whether fruit sugar is something to worry about. Angela also explains what your daily bowel movements can reveal about your health, the biggest sources of misinformation online—especially in women's health—and the simple daily habits anyone can start today to rebuild a healthier gut. Angela's Links:WebsiteThreads Leo's Links:

Attorney Christopher Brandlin shares his harrowing journey from botched intestinal surgery and pharmaceutical dependency to healing through carnivore nutrition. After suffering severe complications from what should have been routine colon surgery, Brandlin rejected conventional medicine's next recommendation to remove his remaining intestines. Instead, he turned to the carnivore diet and found healing at the Paleo Medicina Clinic in Hungary.Now a newly-minted PhD and congressional candidate for Nevada's 3rd district, Brandlin brings a unique perspective as someone who has experienced both the failures of the medical system and the power of metabolic healing. His platform focuses on reducing pharmaceutical influence in politics, mandating nutrition education for medical students, and funding research into ketogenic diets for chronic disease treatment.The conversation spans Brandlin's background as a competitive bodybuilder, his legal career specializing in mold litigation and medical malpractice, and his unconventional preparation for congress through activities like professional bull riding training. Host Dr. Philip Ovadia and co-host Jack Heald explore how grassroots health movements can challenge institutional medicine and create policy change from within the system.This episode offers insights into the intersection of personal health transformation, legal advocacy, and political reform, while highlighting the growing carnivore community's influence on public health discourse.BIG IDEAIf you go to a doctor and your doctor immediately reaches for the prescription pad and tries to prescribe you medication without asking about your diet or your lifestyle, you don't really have a doctor - you have a drug dealer.ContactWebsite: https://www.chrisbrandlin.com/Website: https://brandlinlaw.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, sits down with Dr. Shiven Chaudhry, an internal and integrative medicine specialist based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Chaudhry shares how ancient Ayurvedic medicine and modern Western medicine can coexist to provide a more personalized, effective approach to health and longevity. From energy healing and doshas to evidence-informed supplements and mind-body practices, he explains how integrative care focuses on understanding the person, not just their disease. They also explore the importance of nutrition education in medical training, how to identify qualified integrative practitioners, and why stress management and mindfulness are essential for long-term health.   About the Guest: Dr. Shiven Chaudhry, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine and integrative medicine specialist. He is the founder of a Scottsdale-based practice that merges traditional Western care with Ayurvedic principles, focusing on whole-person wellness, lifestyle optimization, and mind-body balance. His approach combines evidence-informed medicine, nutrition, and mindfulness to help patients achieve lasting health and vitality.

Despite nutrition playing a critical role in preventing chronic diseases, the subject is not sufficiently incorporated into medical education. However, a movement is underway to change that.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients. Check out a hub for citizen activism at www.All4VitaminD.org. In Part 2, we shift to consideration of plant-based diets: What are their advantages, and what are potential pitfalls? 

“Food is Medicine” initiative urged—but progress is slow; Thymic peptide for cancer; What is “orthomolecular psychiatry”? Magnesium threonate for tinnitus; How screen time and social media are dumbing down our kids; The craving for alcohol may be programmed from our primate origins. 

Can something actually be “proven safe” for everyone or does that go against what we know to be true about bioindividuality?  In this empowering episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz sits down with Nolan Gleich, NTP, Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, and Digital Marketing Strategist at the Nutritional Therapy Association, to unpack the headlines linking Tylenol (acetaminophen) to autism and explore what true health freedom really means. Together, Jamie and Nolan zoom out from fear-based headlines to the bigger picture: how chronic illness, toxic load, and bioindividuality shape health outcomes, and why foundational, root cause wellness is the future of healthcare rather than quick, Bandaid fixes that only mask the symptoms of deeper, underlying issues. Inside this episode, you'll discover: Why “proven safe” isn't a universal truth—and how bioindividuality challenges one-size-fits-all medicine The role of epigenetics, toxicity, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health in chronic illness and autism risk RFK's recent $50 million autism research initiative and what it could mean for families Practical, foundation-first alternatives for pain and fever support in pregnancy and childhood (hydration, digestion optimization, nutrient-dense foods, rest, immune support) How education empowers us to be confident and trustworthy advocates for our health This conversation isn't about blame—it's about hope, empowerment, and solutions. Wherever your thoughts are regarding the Tylenol and autism topic, this episode will leave you inspired to trust your body's innate wisdom, learn more about the foundations of health, and embrace the freedom that comes with bioindividuality.

September is Cholesterol Education Month. In this episode of Intelligent Medicine, Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist and certified clinical nutritionist, details cholesterol's importance and its implications for cardiovascular health. He delves into the nuances of cholesterol types, the historical shifts in perceptions of cholesterol, and how dietary and lifestyle factors influence cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk. Jim provides expert insights into the roles of LDL and HDL cholesterol, the significance of cholesterol particle size, the impact of carbohydrates on cholesterol, and the benefits of aged garlic extract and other supplements. The conversation emphasizes the importance of comprehensive lipid testing, understanding individual risk factors, and integrating both lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medications into cardiovascular preventive strategies. The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of health policies and the future of integrative health approaches.

You'll often hear host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC say that the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program changed her life. In this fun, personal, and insightful roundtable episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie sits down with three current NTP students to share how the program is already transforming their health, their families, and their futures. Just over three months into their studies with the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), these students are proving how powerful it is to learn the Foundations of Health—digestion, nutrient-dense diet, blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, movement, and hydration. No band-aid fixes here—this is about getting to the root cause of health and disease, and honoring the truth of bio-individuality: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. Discover how nutrition and lifestyle foundations are changing lives in real time: Michlind shares her passion for filling the nutrition gap in youth who have aged out of foster care, parents reuniting with their children, and anti-human-trafficking recovery programs. Katie, a culinary pro living with Crohn's disease, explains how bio-individual nutrition transformed her gut health and daily life. Alyson opens up about her journey from residential eating disorder treatment to vibrant health through nutrient-dense, whole foods and the power of bio-individuality. Together, they open up about: The sleep stages and circadian rhythm hacks that blew their minds. Why digestion truly is the cornerstone of health—and how even chewing changes everything. The myths of the low-fat movement, the truth about fats and gallbladder health, and how diet culture has failed us. Simple, practical wins you can try today—like apple cider vinegar before meals, soaking and sprouting grains, or turning off screens before bed. What it really means to be your own health advocate when mainstream solutions fall flat. This episode is packed with nutrition tips, digestion insights, and inspiring stories of transformation. If you've ever thought, “It's all too much—where do I start?” this conversation will offer a variety of starting points as well as some of the science backing the foundational teachings of the NTA. Tune in, laugh with us, and get inspired by the next generation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners who are already changing the world with the truth that food really is medicine and while "UNhealth" might be normal, it's certainly not the only way to go.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Ramona Wallace.

For many, integrative medicine has become an unattainable luxury, and healthy diet and lifestyle the prerogative of the privileged. Today's guest, Dr. Ramona Wallace, is attempting to change that. Trained conventionally as a DO, she undertook additional training and certification via the Institute for Functional Medicine to broaden her clinical skills. She practices primary care in an underserved community in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she incorporates diet and lifestyle recommendations to address her patients' chronic conditions. Careful nutritional assessment has revealed that many of her patients, while overtly overweight, are decidedly malnourished. She has documented a wide range of deficiencies—of B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and D, critical minerals like zinc and magnesium, even full-blown scurvy. These are precisely the patients who are most likely to benefit from nutritional support. Discovering obstacles to compliance is a key element to effect their health transformations. Dr. Wallace believes that individualized care is the key to reversing long-standing health conditions. She mentors medical students in the first-of-its-kind Functional Medicine program at a medical school. She has also co-authored a landmark paper arguing for wellness self-care by doctors, to stave off burnout and to help them be better role models for patients.

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I really aware of how much social media and online content is influencing my kids? Have I noticed my kids becoming overly focused on their physical appearance or diet? How do I handle conversations about nutrition and fitness at home? If you've noticed your son obsessing over his physique or protein intake, or your daughter silently struggling with self-worth because of what she sees online, this episode is for you. Larry and Rich dive deep into how today's digital landscape is distorting kids' perceptions of themselves, driving issues like body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and unhealthy relationships with food and fitness—affecting boys and girls earlier than ever before. You'll hear real talk on what warning signs to watch out for, how to foster healthy conversations about food and body image, and the steps you can take to protect your kids from the relentless pressures of curated perfection online. Plus, learn practical strategies for monitoring your child's digital world and discover why it's crucial to model resilience, open dialogue, and authentic self-worth in your home. Whether you're a dad, coach, or mentor, this episode is your wake-up call and toolbox—because the world is changing, and as fathers, we need to step up, disrupt the status quo, and help our kids build unshakeable confidence in themselves. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Why Social Media Is A Game-Changer: Unlike the occasional magazine we grew up with, today's kids are constantly exposed to unrealistic body standards, curated feeds, and supplement ads designed to make them feel “less than.” The result? Kids (especially boys ages 12-14!) are reporting anxiety, body dysmorphia, compulsive exercising, and disordered eating at skyrocketing rates. Spot the Warning Signs: It's not just about undereating—obsession with protein grams, excessive workouts, and constant flexing in the mirror can all point to an unhealthy relationship with food and body image. Smart Conversations, Not Confrontations: The episode shares actionable tips to open up dialogue with your kids. Watch "Generation Flex" together, use it as a springboard for honest conversation, and focus on how food and fitness make us feel—not just how we look. Model Healthy Habits: As dads, it's not about being perfect—it's about showing our kids that food isn't “good” or “bad,” and that balance is key (yes, you can have that burger and a salad). Digital Safety for Peace of Mind: Larry also highlights tools like Bark, which alert you to concerning activity on your kids' devices—so you're not left in the dark about what they're seeing online. If you care about raising healthy, resilient sons and daughters in an always-connected world—and want to know the practical steps you can take at home—this episode is for you Here's what research and observation highlight about Studies show that hospitalizations for pediatric eating disorders rose by 139% from 2002 to 2018, with the largest relative increase seen in males aged 12 to 14 Boys and men now represent a third of all eating disorder diagnoses today Nearly 100% of kids with internet access are exposed to carefully curated or unrealistic fitness/body images daily. thedadedge.com/bark  thedadedge.com/alliance  https://menshealth.com @menshealthmag @richdorment Read more about Men's Health's documentary "Generation Flex": https://www.menshealth.com/generationflex Watch Generation Flex on Apple TV+:https://tv.apple.com/us/clip/generation-flex Watch Generation Flex on Amazon Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DJCND11R

In this conversation with Dr. Christopher Gardner, we challenge what might be one of nutrition science's most pervasive myths—that we need massive amounts of protein to build muscle and maintain health. You might recognize Dr. Gardner from the popular Netflix docuseries featuring his groundbreaking identical twin study, where he explored how different diets affect our bodies. We talk about the evidence behind protein requirements, diet quality versus macronutrient ratios, and a framework for sustainable eating that prioritizes both nutrition and taste. We also discuss his DIETFIT study and SWAP-MEAT trial, which challenge conventional wisdom about weight loss diets and plant-based alternatives. The most fascinating insight for me was learning that muscle growth depends approximately 90% on workout stimulus and less than 10% on protein intake, completely contradicting the protein-obsessed fitness culture we're immersed in. Dr. Gardner's research shows the average American already consumes 1.2g/kg of protein daily without trying (well above the RDA), while the original nitrogen balance studies found something entirely different. We also get into the controversy surrounding the Netflix twin study that garnered significant attention—and criticism. Dr. Gardner reveals the behind-the-scenes reality of what actually happened with the muscle mass measurements that appeared in the documentary versus his published research, and why the allegations of data manipulation couldn't be further from the truth. If you're interested in evidence-based nutrition that cuts through industry hype, this conversation provides scientific clarity and actionable strategies that might change how you think about protein and diet quality. Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations that challenge conventional thinking about brain health and performance. I'm committed to bringing you insights that transform how we approach health based on science, not marketing. About Dr. Christopher Gardner Dr. Christopher Gardner is a nutrition scientist and professor at Stanford University who has conducted over 25 human studies on diet and health. His research includes the DIETFIT study, SWAP-MEAT trial, and an identical twin study featured in a Netflix docuseries. He serves on the Culinary Institute of America's scientific advisory board and is currently researching plant-based diets with firefighters.
