A Brand New Tool for Gut, Inflammation, and Brain Support: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen details Essential Formulas' Dr. Ohhira's Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, capsule-free fermented paste in travel-friendly, non-refrigerated sachets. She explains the difference between probiotics and postbiotics, emphasizing that this concentrate delivers postbiotic metabolites (including short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, plus enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, peptides, and growth/repair factors) created via a five-year fermentation of 14 fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds; the paste contains no live probiotics because they are heat-killed. The discussion highlights use cases for people who don't tolerate fiber or probiotics (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), potential benefits for leaky gut, systemic inflammation, gut-brain/mitochondrial health, insulin resistance, children, and pets, and suggests it can complement Dr. Ohhira's capsules and may be taken less than daily.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!If you want to become a nutrition coach and make over 30k EXTRA dollars as a personal trainer, SUF-NC teaches you the fundamentals of nutritional science, teaches you how to scale a new stream of revenue and you get to work alongside of a registered dietitian. showupfitness.comTwo tacos should be an easy entry in a food tracker, right? We start with a simple photo test that exposes a brutal truth about weight loss: most of us are not “bad at dieting,” we are bad at estimating what we eat, especially when food is made for us. That one skill gap can turn an intended deficit into a hidden surplus, and it is why clients can feel stuck, inflamed, and defeated while their log still looks “pretty good.” From there, we take a hard turn into the internet's favorite fuel: fear. We break down the viral strawberry scare, the language of “toxins” and “detox,” and why confident influencers with shaky credentials can out-share careful scientific explanations. We are not here to dunk on people; we are here to show how to evaluate claims, follow incentives, and keep nutrition education grounded in dose, context, and real-world behavior, especially for families trying to shop on a budget. Then we rebuild the fundamentals of nutrition coaching: the six essential nutrients, macros vs micros, and the fuel factors that make macro math simple (4 calories per gram for carbs and protein, 9 for fat, 7 for alcohol). We connect that math to digestion and metabolism, including how carbs relate to glycogen and water weight, why protein has a higher thermic effect of food, and how “all calories are equal” can be both true and incomplete. The deeper point is sustainability: vegan, carnivore, keto, or mixed diets can all work if they fit the person and produce a consistent, livable calorie deficit. If you want a smarter way to think about calories, macros, and misinformation without losing your mind, listen through and share it with someone who is tired of nutrition fearmongering.

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

Eccentric Exercise: Better Results with Less Effort. Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, discusses eccentric exercise and research suggesting it may deliver better results than strenuous workouts that cause muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). She explains contraction types—isometric, concentric, and eccentric—highlighting that eccentric contractions involve muscle lengthening during the lowering phase (e.g., lowering a dumbbell, walking downstairs) and can provide greater mechanical loading with lower perceived effort, less fatigue, and broad accessibility across ages and health conditions, though requiring more focus and control. She cites studies including stair-descending in elderly obese women improving cardiovascular function, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, and strength, and a five-minute home routine (chair squats, wall pushups, chair reclines, heel drops) improving strength, flexibility, mental health, and encouraging continued exercise. She notes athletic benefits and the need for further research.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, yet awareness is still surprisingly low. In this episode of The Positive Pause®, host Claire Gill sits down with two of NMF's Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) members, Dr. Emily Lau, a cardiologist specializing in women's cardiovascular health, and Michelle Routhenstein, a preventive cardiology dietitian, to unpack why midlife is a critical window for prevention and what women can do to take control of their heart health.They explore how menopause changes cardiovascular risk, why heart disease often goes unnoticed, and how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can have a major impact.Emily Lau, MD, MPH a women's cardiovascular health specialist and investigator at Mass General Brigham. Dr. Lau co-directs the Women's Heart Health Program. Dr. Lau's laboratory focuses on understanding how biologic sex differences and female-specific cardiovascular risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease uniquely in women. Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, CDN, is the owner and president of Entirely Nourished LLC, a specialized private practice in nutrition counseling and consulting focused on the prevention and management of heart disease. Employing a science-based, holistic approach, she is dedicated to enhancing women's heart health by addressing cardiometabolic risk factors and mitigating the likelihood of cardiovascular issues as individuals age.Key Concepts CoveredMidlife is a turning point for heart healthCardiovascular risk accelerates during and after menopause, making this stage of life a critical opportunity for prevention.Heart disease is often silent and under-recognizedMany women don't realize there's an issue because symptoms aren't obvious. At the same time, awareness has actually declined in recent years, which makes education even more important.Health goes beyond weight and appearanceYou can look healthy and still have underlying cardiovascular risk. That's why personalized testing and understanding your numbers matters.Sustainable habits matter more than extreme changesInstead of restrictive diets or drastic routines, small consistent improvements in nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management lead to better long-term outcomes.Prevention is the real opportunityMidlife isn't just a time of change; it's a chance to take control. With the right approach, most cardiovascular risk factors can be improved or prevented.This conversation makes one thing clear: heart health isn't something women can afford to ignore, especially at midlife. The good news is that most risk factors are preventable and manageable with the right information and consistent action. By focusing on sustainable habits and understanding your personal risk, you can take control of your cardiovascular health and build a stronger future.Connect with Dr. Lau:Website: Mass General Brigham Women's Heart HealthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-lau-11601152/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/‌massgeneral Connect with Michelle:Website: https://www.entirelynourished.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/michellerouthenstein/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heart.Health.Nutritionist/

The episode opens with a welcome to the Real Science Exchange and introductions to the panel, including Steve Martin, Maria Spindola, Stephanie Hansen, and Dr. Bill Weiss, setting the stage for a deep dive into mineral nutrition. (00:00 – 02:19)  The discussion begins by comparing NASEM requirements with practical feeding recommendations, emphasizing how minimum requirements are designed to prevent deficiency—not maximize productivity. The panel explores how nutritionists incorporate safety margins and manage risk in formulation, including considerations around mineral toxicity and environmental impact. (04:21 – 08:19)  From there, the conversation shifts to real-world application, highlighting the challenges of measuring mineral absorption and translating formulation strategies into on-farm execution. The panel discusses feeding logistics and how variability in mixing, delivery, and intake affects outcomes in dairy nutrition programs. (08:19 – 09:58)  Attention then turns to specific minerals, including copper and iodine, and the role of antagonists in reducing mineral availability. The speakers discuss the risks of overfeeding inorganic minerals and the dairy industry's evolving approach to copper supplementation, along with the broader implications for animal performance and human health. (12:44 – 18:44)  The panel also explores diagnostic tools and testing methods, including feed, water, and forage analysis, as well as more advanced techniques like liver biopsies. They highlight the importance of understanding molybdenum levels, ash content, and other factors that can influence trace mineral balance and absorption. (20:32 – 27:54)  As the conversation continues, the focus shifts to optimization strategies—connecting mineral nutrition to health outcomes like hoof integrity, antioxidant status, and overall performance. The role of selenium, vitamin E, and structured testing approaches are discussed, along with practical tools nutritionists can use to evaluate and refine feeding programs. (31:14 – 41:45)  The episode also examines water quality and background mineral contributions, emphasizing how often-overlooked sources can impact total mineral intake. A deeper dive into mineral requirements and sources follows, including emerging insights on manganese, differences between beef and dairy systems, and key areas for future research. (43:37 – 49:52)  Finally, the panel tackles the ongoing debate around sulfate trace minerals and their potential effects on fiber digestibility and nutrient utilization. The episode closes with a discussion on alternative mineral sources, cobalt and vitamin B12 requirements, and key takeaways for building more precise, performance-driven mineral nutrition programs.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Beyond the Bends—Wounds, Stroke Recovery, Radiation Injury, and Performance. Nicole Garrett, founder and COO of Under Pressure Hyperbarics, details hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). She explains how HBOT treats divers' decompression sickness by recompressing nitrogen bubbles and reducing inflammation, and how therapeutic benefits depend on reaching adequate pressure (commonly around 2.0 atmospheres or more; diver treatment may begin at 2.8). Garrett describes HBOT's history, FDA-approved uses such as diabetic wound healing, radiation injury, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (often combined with steroids), and off-label use for stroke/TBI recovery, cognitive issues, autoimmune flares, Crohn's disease, athletic recovery, anti-aging research (including telomere findings), and adjunctive cancer care. She contrasts “soft” chambers with higher-pressure medical chambers, discusses treatment courses (often 10–60 sessions), safety and contraindications (ears, pneumothorax, retinal bubble procedures), and practical barriers like cost, insurance coverage, and facility/oxygen regulations.

EASE OS™ Pillar: Enteric Have you done the elimination diet, the probiotics, the gut protocols — and something is still not right? In this episode of EASE OS™: The Human Skills, Dr. Connie Cheung explains why gut healing is consistently incomplete when it addresses diet without addressing the nervous system state driving the gut dysregulation in the first place. The enteric nervous system — your gut brain — contains more nerve endings than the spinal cord. It responds not just to what you eat but to what you are living. The chronic stress. The relationship the nervous system quietly braces around. The unresolved tension that has no space to complete. The gut registers all of it. Every day. And it has never lied about what it finds. In this episode you will learn: • What the enteric nervous system actually is and why it is far more than a digestive system • The exact physiological cascade that happens in the gut under chronic sympathetic activation — blood flow redirection, enzyme production, gut motility, intestinal permeability, and microbiome disruption explained in plain language • Why approximately 90% of gut-brain communication travels upward — from gut to brain — and what that means for mood, anxiety, and emotional regulation • Why the probiotic and the elimination diet produce partial results when the autonomic environment driving the dysregulation is not addressed first • Why your gut is not broken — it is the most accurate reporter in your body and it has been telling the truth about your life this whole time • The eating practice that begins to restore the communication pathway between your enteric system and your awareness • The closing question to carry into the week This is Episode 3 of EASE OS™: The Human Skills — a nine-episode series walking through the complete EASE OS™ framework one layer at a time. Each episode builds on the last. The Practice From This Episode: Before your next meal — smell the food first. Taste deliberately. Chew slowly.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a listener question about whether agave nectar can contribute to obesity like high-fructose corn syrup, arguing that regular use of sweeteners—including agave, honey, monk fruit, stevia, aspartame, sucralose, allulose, and sugar alcohols—can maintain sweet cravings, spike insulin, and contribute to weight-loss plateaus, with added concerns such as microbiome effects, GI upset, and aspartame's neurotoxicity. She notes insulin's role in fat storage and blood pressure via sodium retention, and suggests that needing a sweetener in coffee or tea may indicate dependence on sweetness. She then covers a newly developed, validated Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) published in Obesity to measure intrusive food-related rumination, highlighting its five Likert-scale items, study sample characteristics, and the need for further research, including effects of GLP-1 drugs.

Sugarless: Dr. Nicole Avena on Hidden Sugars, Brain Addiction, and Practical Steps to Cut Back: Neuroscientist and author Dr. Nicole Avena reveals sugar's pervasiveness and health impacts, drawing on her book “Sugarless: The Seven-Step Plan to Uncover Hidden Sugars, Curb Your Cravings, and Conquer Your Addiction.” Avena explains how modern industrialized, highly processed foods—many containing added sugars—have transformed innate preferences for sweetness into harmful overconsumption linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and possible dementia via insulin signaling changes. She discusses research showing sugar can stimulate dopamine reward pathways similarly to drugs and that prenatal exposure may alter offspring metabolism, preferences, and sensitivity to drugs/alcohol. For solutions, she discourages strict “cold turkey” approaches due to hidden sugars and relapse psychology, emphasizes inventorying sources and triggers, starting with eliminating sugar-sweetened beverages and sugary coffee drinks, improving breakfast, choosing protein/fat-based snacks, and viewing alternative sweeteners as a temporary crutch; she also notes diet changes can improve mood stability and reduce anxiety.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition: Using Saliva Testing, Food Sensitivity Labs, and Lifestyle to Find Root Causes: Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). He discusses using functional testing alongside conventional care to uncover “dysfunction” when standard labs appear normal. Davis describes assessing adrenal and metabolic stress via saliva testing for circadian cortisol patterns, cortisol-DHEA balance, sex hormones, secretory IgA, and melatonin, emphasizing clinical correlation and individualized “studies of one.” He outlines an approach targeting multiple “healing opportunities” (H-I-D-D-E-N: hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy, nervous system) and applying D-R-E-S-S (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation) rather than relying on supplements alone. A case example links chronic hives, medication-related weight gain, and food triggers identified through additional testing, including the Mediator Release Test. The discussion also covers stress-driven gut dysbiosis, digestion decline, and EFT tapping for stress-related symptoms, and notes FDN practitioners can be found via FDNtraining.com/medicine.

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a Nature Communications study of 108,723 French adults in the NutriNet-Santé cohort (2009–2023) examining long-term exposure to food preservatives and type 2 diabetes. Using detailed dietary records cross-referenced with product/additive databases, researchers identified 58 preservative-related additives and analyzed 17 consumed by at least 10% of participants; 1,131 diabetes cases occurred. Higher overall preservative intake was associated with a 47% increased diabetes risk (49% for non-antioxidant preservatives; 40% for antioxidant additives), with several specific additives linked to higher risk. Leyla questions whether the findings reflect preservatives themselves or the ultra-processed, refined-carbohydrate foods that contain them, emphasizing recommendations to favor fresh, minimally processed foods and limit refined carbs and processed foods.

Gary Taubes on Rethinking Diabetes: Diet, Insulin, and the History Behind Low-Carb Treatment: Journalist Gary Taubes is author of “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments.” The book traces diabetes treatment history and argues that carbohydrate restriction was standard care from 1797 through the early 20th century until insulin therapy shifted practice toward drug-centered management and higher-carbohydrate diets. Taubes explains how insulin's discovery changed dietary priorities, how later technology (radioimmunoassay) revealed that most diabetes is type 2 with insulin resistance and high insulin rather than deficiency, and why giving more insulin can worsen weight gain. They discuss major trials (including ACCORD, ADVANCE, and Look AHEAD) that failed to show benefits from intensive drug-based glucose control, the influence of low-fat guidelines, Richard Bernstein's role in blood-glucose self-monitoring and low-carb control, controversies about obesity models, ketosis vs ketoacidosis, GLP-1 drugs, and LDL increases on ketogenic diets.
