Is fasting really the best way to lose fat — or is there a smarter, more strategic approach? In this masterclass episode, Vanessa introduces a powerful new concept: Protein Fasting — a structured approach using PSMF (Protein-Sparing Modified Fast) days to optimize fat loss, suppress appetite naturally, protect muscle, and potentially tap into fasting-like cellular signaling.
GLP-1s and bariatric surgery are powerful medical tools, and the real risk is starting them without understanding what long-term weight maintenance actually requires.This conversation pulls obesity treatment out of the culture wars and back into medicine. Dr. Betsy Dovec, one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the country,speaks plainly about what long-term care actually demands, whether someone chooses bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or a combination of both. The question beneath it all is simple and uncomfortable: are you looking for a short-term result, or are you prepared for a long-term strategy?There is honesty here about weight regain, about the reality that stopping GLP-1 medications often leads to reversal, and about why a plan for maintenance matters more than the initial drop on the scale. The discussion touches on Microdosing GLP-1, the rise of GLP-1 oral medication, and how access and expectations shape outcomes. It also moves into GLP-1 for menopause and perimenopause, acknowledging how hormones change the metabolic equation for women and why GLP-1 inflammation benefits may explain why some feel better beyond weight loss alone.This episode challenges the shame narrative. Obesity is treated as a chronic metabolic condition influenced by biology, environment, and hormones. The deeper takeaway is not which tool to choose, but whether you are approaching your health with clarity about what sustainable care truly involves.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Bariatric Surgery Explained: What It Really Is09:11 Long-Term Weight Loss Success and Maintenance Strategies11:57 GLP-1 Medications, Ozempic, and Weight Regain Reality18:04 Hormones, Perimenopause, and GLP-1 for Women28:00 Visceral Fat, Fatty Liver, and Metabolic Risk37:01 Modern Bariatric Surgery and Recovery TimelineConnect with Dr. Betsy Dovec:Follow Dr. Dovec's InstagramVisit BodyByBariatrics WebsiteFollow BodyByBariatrics TikTokFor More on this Episode: Read the full show notes here

Discuss Pediatric Weight Gain Without Triggering ShameWhat would you say if a parent asked, “Can you tell my son he needs to lose weight?”That question sits at the center of one of the hardest conversations in pediatrics.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Beck, clinical psychologist and expert in teen mental health and weight stigma, to unpack how we address pediatric obesity without causing unintended harm.Because this isn't just about weight. It's about protecting kids in a culture obsessed with body size, while still doing our job as clinicians.In this episode, we discuss:Common clinician missteps that unintentionally trigger shameWhy focusing on numbers (weight, BMI, carbs) can backfireHow to talk to a 5-year-old vs. a teenagerWhat to say when teens give one-word answersHow to navigate wo very different clinical scenarios:A teen in a larger body with normal labs but poor body imageRapid weight gain with elevated sugars, where intervention feels urgentWorking with teens is tough. Getting them to engage can feel even tougher.Dr. Beck shares practical language, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you intervene medically without triggering restriction, shutdown, or long-term harm.This episode is about striking the balance: preventing long-term medical complications while protecting a child's mental health in the process.Connect with Dr BeckHealth Psychology Partners Any Questions?

With so many options out there—new GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound, oral versions hitting the market, and older prescriptions—it can feel totally overwhelming.In this episode, we break it all down: how much weight you might realistically lose, how other health conditions factor in, cost considerations, who should avoid certain medications, and even how combination therapy can sometimes make sense.Over the years, I've covered these topics in different ways.

Since then, new therapies like Zepbound and oral Wegovy have emerged, changing the landscape even more. This episode isn't meant to replace a one-on-one conversation with an obesity expert—that's still the gold standard—but it gives the information you need to start thinking about what might fit your goals, your body, and your lifestyle.By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of how these medications work, who they help most, and how to approach the decision thoughtfully and safely.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to eat to support your workouts without sabotaging your weight loss goals—and without overthinking it. No sports nutrition degree required, I promise.

The news is built to show us what's breaking — not what's improving. In this episode, we step back from markets and crises to look at areas where real progress is happening. This isn't an argument that the world is perfect. It's a reminder that change is often slow, uneven, and easy to miss while it's happening. Sometimes the most important trends don't make headlines.

Extra body fat interferes with how vitamin D works after it enters your body, which explains why low levels often persist despite supplements or sun exposure Vitamin D can become trapped in fat tissue and fail to convert into its usable form, leaving blood tests low even when intake appears sufficient Deep belly fat and liver fat have the strongest impact on vitamin D availability, making waist size more important than body weight alone Taking higher doses of vitamin D doesn't always fix the problem if metabolic signals from excess fat remain unchanged Reducing visceral fat, restoring metabolic health, and supporting proper vitamin D activation help vitamin D function normally again

Adipose tissue (body fat) isn't just “stored energy”—it's biologically active and can release inflammatory signals. For people living with inflammatory arthritis (like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and lupus), that matters because it can influence pain, fatigue, disease activity, and sometimes even how well treatments work.In this video, Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains the intersection of overweight/obesity and inflammatory arthritis—without shame, and with a focus on what's actually helpful.We cover:Why fat tissue can contribute to inflammationHow weight can affect joints, symptoms, and functionWhat this can mean for arthritis outcomes and treatment responsePractical, compassionate next steps to support metabolic health and reduce inflammation#InflammatoryArthritis #RheumatoidArthritis #PsoriaticArthritis #AnkylosingSpondylitis #Lupus #AutoimmuneDisease #Rheumatology #Inflammation #AdiposeTissue #Obesity #MetabolicHealth #JointPain #ChronicIllness #HealthWithoutShame #HolisticHealth #TreatToTarget
Dr. Sunil Gupta spoke in detail about the growing link between obesity, diabetes, pregnancy-related risks, and modern lifestyle habits. He explained that obesity—particularly abdominal or visceral fat—is a major driver of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and other metabolic complications. Dr. Gupta expressed that Indians are especially vulnerable due to a tendency toward central obesity even at lower body weight, making early screening through BMI and waist circumference measurements essential. Dr. Gupta highlighted that unhealthy dietary patterns, physical inactivity, excessive screen time, and high consumption of fast food and sugary beverages are key contributors to the rising burden of diabetes among children, adolescents, and young adults. He stressed that gestational diabetes and poor glucose control during pregnancy significantly increase the lifetime risk of diabetes for both the mother and the child. Breastfeeding, regular physical activity, post-delivery weight management, and long-term follow-up were emphasized as important protective measures. Addressing common myths, Dr. Gupta clarified that diabetes is not caused by sugar alone but by sustained excess calorie intake, insulin resistance, and genetic predisposition. He also strongly warned against tobacco use in any form, stating that it accelerates diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, stroke, and limb-threatening gangrene. The session concluded with a clear preventive message—eat less, walk more, sleep well, and smile (to reduce stress) Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta Anchor- Bhavana Lokhande Podcast: 23/01/2026 Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur Episode: 103

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere—and so are the opinions. In this episode, Andrew breaks down what GLP-1 actually is (a natural gut hormone), how GLP-1 medications work, and why newer “dual agonist” options like Mounjaro/Zepbound tend to produce bigger weight-loss results. We also tackle the controversy: is obesity a disease, and are GLP-1s “taking the easy way out”?You'll hear a coach's perspective from years in the trenches—why weight loss is effortless for some people and brutally hard for others, what typical results look like, common side effects, why many people stop, and what usually happens when you discontinue the meds.Chapters00:00 — Why GLP-1s are “big” right now01:12 — How common is obesity and GLP-1 use?05:20 — Obesity as a disease09:10 — The blame game12:40 — Are GLP-1's the easy way out?23:16 — GLP 101: what it is and what it does31:30 — Results, side-effects, and plateausThe Co-Movement Gym Podcast is supported by Native Path Supplements and Lombardi Chiropractic.
Send a textDr. Erich Schramm and Dr. Michael Koren lead a presentation on diabetes and obesity in front of a live audience. The doctors talk about the role willpower plays, how ultra-processed foods hijack our brain, and what a healthy diet looks like. They also discuss the myriad signaling molecules in the body that tell us we're hungry or full and when to digest all that food. The doctors also touch on the growing line of medications that are being used to control diabetes and obesity, and how the two diseases play off of each other, which makes breaking the cycle difficult. The doctors close by talking about the surprising role a desert lizard plays in current weight-loss medications, and a sneak preview of other investigational medications on the horizon.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Dr. Eryn and Coach Vinny sit down with Dr. Karl Nadolsky, a board-certified physician specializing in obesity and metabolic health, to explore why weight loss is far more complex than calories, willpower, or trends. The conversation covers scope of practice, responsible collaboration between physicians and coaches, and how obesity is often misunderstood by both the public and professionals. Dr. Nadolsky breaks down how GLP-1 medications are prescribed in real clinical settings, where compounded and off-label use creates risk, and what long-term outcomes actually look like when behavior change is missing. They also discuss ethical concerns, prevention, and the future of obesity treatment, along with Dr. Nadolsky's clinic model and why he moved away from insurance-driven care. This episode is a grounded, evidence-based discussion for anyone serious about metabolic health and sustainable fat loss.

In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen, Chief Medical Officer of IntelliXX DNA, to explore how medical genomics is transforming the way we understand heart disease, brain health, inflammation, and metabolism. Most people think genetics stops at traits like eye color or ancestry. Genomics goes much deeper—analyzing how thousands of genes interact to influence cardiovascular risk, cognitive function, clotting tendencies, nutrient metabolism, and chronic inflammation.Dr. Hausman-Cohen explains why many direct-to-consumer DNA tests fall short, how incomplete interpretation can mislead patients, and why clinician-guided genomic analysis allows for truly personalized care. The conversation also dives into inflammation, methylation, homocysteine, cholesterol myths, caffeine metabolism, mitochondrial health, and women's unique clotting risks.Whether you're trying to reduce your risk of heart disease, improve mental clarity, or understand how your biology responds to diet, supplements, and medications—this episode offers a science-based roadmap for precision health.

We are in the final week of our 4-part series on Cancer, the #2 killer in America. And this week, we share the steps you can take to prevent Cancer. In this episode, we talk about:—How Smoking is the main habit that can be changed to prevent Cancer. And why Dr. Prather says second-hand smoke is “even worse" than primary smoke. —The n immediate change Dr. Prather recommends to smokers regarding the type of cigarette they are smoking. —Why Homeopathy, Acupuncture, and Auriculotherapy are "very successful" treatments at Holistic Integration to help smokers break their addiction. —The role of Obesity as a contributor to Cancer, including hormonal changes that can lead to certain types of Cancer.—How the Body Composition Analysis test at Holistic Integration is more accurate than BMI in determining a patient's body fat percentage. —Why alcohol consumption contributes to Cancer. And why Dr Prather says that alcoholics need their nutritional deficiencies corrected before they will be able to stop drinking. —The importance of keeping a patient's Liver enzymes in the right range to "dramatically" increase their chances of surviving Cancer. And why Dr. Prather is against patients trying to do Liver Detox programs they find online and without proper guidance. —How Dr. Prather estimates only 5% of Cancers are genetically-determined, but 65% of cases are determined by diet and nutrition.—Why getting an annual stool kit to screen for infections and parasites that contribute to Cancer is so important. —Plus, you'll hear the inspiring story of Joe, who "feels great" after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer 2 years ago and was originally being told by his oncologist that he only had 6 months to 2 years left.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
What happens when the world of GLP-1s collides with the operating room? Today, we're diving into the new era of obesity care. Hosts· Matthew Martin, trauma and bariatric surgeon at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) @docmartin2· Adrian Dan, bariatric and MIS surgeon, program director for the advanced MIS bariatric and foregut fellowship at Summa Health System (Akron, Ohio) @DrAdrianDan· Crystal Johnson Mann, bariatric and foregut surgeon at the University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida) @crys_noelle_· Katherine Cironi, general surgery resident at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) @cironimacaroniLearning objectives1. Understand the evolving role of OMMs in bariatric surgical practice· Recognize how widespread GLP-1 and dual-incretin therapies have reshaped patient presentations, expectations, and referral patterns.· Appreciate current evidence comparing surgery to GLP-1 therapy, including the JAMA Surgery study out of Allegheny Health (2025), noting:o Superior weight loss with bariatric surgery (~28% TBWL vs ~10% with GLP-1s)o Higher health-care utilization and cost in GLP-1–treated patients.· Frame OMMs not as alternatives but as complementary tools within a chronic disease model when treating obesity.2. Review pharmacologic classes and their expected efficacy· Surgeons should be able to articulate the mechanisms, efficacy, and limitations of:o GLP-1 receptor agonists – incretin-based satiety; 5–12% TBWL.o Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists – most potent agents; 15–22% TBWL.o Sympathomimetics – norepinephrine-driven appetite suppression; 3–7% TBWL.o Combination agents (bupropion-naltrexone, phentermine-topiramate) – 5–12% TBWL depending on regimen.o Emerging therapies – retatrutide, maritide, oral GLP-1s, with promising TBWL in phase 2 trials3. Apply OMMs strategically in the preoperative phase· Integrate OMMs without compromising surgical eligibility—OMM-related weight loss does not negate the indication for surgery.· Counsel patients that medication response does not equal disease resolution; surgery remains the most durable intervention.· Manage delayed gastric emptying and aspiration risk:o Pause weekly GLP-1 or dual agonists for ≥1 week pre-op (longer if symptomatic).o Collaborate closely with the anesthesia/OR teams· Screen for nutritional depletion before surgery, especially protein deficits exacerbated by appetite suppression.· Navigate insurance barriers that may paradoxically approve surgery but deny medication continuation.4. Implement postoperative OMMs safely and effectively· Establish criteria for OMM introduction:o Typical initiation at 6–12 months, once the diet stabilizes and the physiologic curve flattens.o Earlier initiation (4–6 weeks) may be appropriate in pediatric or select high-risk populations.· Recognize altered pharmacokinetics after sleeve and bypass:o Injectables may be preferred due to altered absorption of oral agents.· Prevent postoperative nutritional compromise:o Monitor protein intake, hydration, and micronutrient status (including iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins).o Titrate doses slowly to minimize nausea/vomiting that can precipitate malnutrition.· Frame OMM use as a tool for disease persistence (plateau/regain), not as a marker of failure.5. Identify systems-level barriers and the implementation of coordinated care· Understand insurance inconsistencies—coverage for surgery is often not paired with coverage for long-term medical therapy.· Clearly document disease persistence and medical necessity when appealing denials.· Avoid fragmented care: establish shared-care pathways between bariatric surgery, obesity medicine, and primary care.· Use patient-centered language emphasizing complementary therapy, not hierarchy or competition between surgery and medications.6. Counsel patients ethically and accurately within a chronic disease model· Set expectations: sustained success requires surgery + medication + behavioral change.· Educate patients that postoperative OMM use does not imply surgical failure.· Normalize long-term multimodal management of obesity, analogous to diabetes or hypertension models.*Sponsor Disclaimer: Visit goremedical.com/btkpod to learn more about GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial, including supporting references and disclaimers for the presented content.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushIn this episode of The Ready State Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Kevin Hall—one of the world's leading metabolism researchers and a longtime NIH scientist—for a wide-ranging conversation on what the research actually says about weight loss, energy balance, and the modern food environment.Dr. Hall explains what we've learned from real-world and tightly controlled studies, including his work following The Biggest Loser contestants, and why exercise doesn't fully prevent the metabolic adaptations that can accompany major weight loss. We also unpack why “calories in, calories out” is both true in principle and often misunderstood in practice, how ultra-processed foods can drive overeating, and what GLP-1 medications may be changing in appetite biology.The episode also touches on Dr. Hall's departure from a 21-year career at the NIH, following the censorship of his team's findings on ultra-processed foods when they didn't align with preferred narratives—an experience he describes as chilling for scientific communication.Finally, we explore the practical challenges of doing high-quality nutrition research, why confident opinions can outpace the data, and what it will take to better understand—and ultimately prevent—diet-related chronic disease.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy metabolism isn't “broken” — and why larger bodies burn more calories at restWhat the Biggest Loser study actually revealed about weight loss and regainWhy exercise doesn't “save” your metabolism during extreme dietingHow ultraprocessed foods change how much people eat — without acting like addictive drugsWhy calories in vs. calories is often misunderstood in practiceHow genetics and environment interact to shape body weightWhat GLP-1 drugs are really doing — and what they don't fixWhy nutrition science is underfunded, politicized, and desperately neededChapters(00:00) - Kevin Hall, PhD, Metabolism Researcher(01:01) - Dr. Hall on the Ready State Podcast(04:10) - Misconceptions About Metabolism(04:54) - The Biggest Loser Study & Metabolism Influence(13:09) - Challenges in Nutrition Research(19:10) - Metabolism's Role in Weight Loss(22:13) - Vitality Blueprint: Importance of Blood Work(25:45) - Calories In, Calories Out: Simplistic View?(30:45) - Understanding GLP-1 Agonists(32:20) - The Food Environment's Impact(36:05) - Ultra-Processed Foods and Caloric Intake(38:02) - The Complexity of Obesity(41:40) - Solutions for Our Food System(48:23) - Causes of Brain Fog(49:34) - Element: Nutritional Insights(51:39) - RFK Jr. Discussion(01:01:40) - Politics' Influence on Science(01:04:35) - Leaders in Nutrition Science(01:06:48) - Can Weight Loss Be Achieved?(01:08:10) - Universal Diets: Myth or Reality?(01:12:35) - Why Doritos Lead to Overeating(01:13:21) - Understanding Visceral Fat(01:14:04) - Momentous: Nutritional Products(01:20:25) - Book/TV Show/Music Recommendations(01:21:11) - Connecting with Dr. Hall(01:21:52) - OutroConnect with KevinWebsite | Bluesky | X | LinkedInBook: Food Intelligence: The Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms UsCheck out The Biggest Loser Study2019 Study: Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight GainHuge thanks to our sponsors, Vitality, Momentous, and LMNT.
Timo Boldt, founder and chief executive of Gousto, believes Britain's food system is broken.He points to the growing economic burden of diet-related disease with Government figures suggesting obesity alone costs the NHS more than £11 billion a year, while broader estimates put the total economic cost of overweight and obesity at more than £100 billion annually once lost productivity and reduced quality of life are included.Boldt argues the problem begins with what Britons eat. Research suggests more than half of the calories consumed in the UK come from ultra-processed foods, rising to around two-thirds among children and adolescents. He says these products are often engineered for what the industry calls the “bliss point” — the combination of salt, sugar and fat that keeps people coming back for more — and that the result is rising levels of obesity and diet-related illness.He defends Gousto's typical price point of about £3.20 per meal per person, arguing that it compares favourably with supermarket shopping once household food waste, time spent planning meals and convenience are taken into account. The company cannot compete with the very lowest-cost diets, he admits, but says it is targeting the large proportion of households already spending similar amounts on evening meals.Boldt also argues that farmers sit at the weakest point in the food chain, squeezed by large manufacturers and retailers who dominate what ends up on supermarket shelves. He says the system would look very different if incentives favoured fresh produce rather than heavily processed foods.Government action so far — including the sugar tax and restrictions on junk-food advertising — is, in his view, only a start. He calls for a broader approach combining taxes on unhealthy products with subsidies for more nutritious farming, alongside tighter rules on product placement in supermarkets.If diet-related disease could be reduced, he argues, the savings for the NHS and the wider economy would be enormous. The long-term solution, he says, is to “go upstream” and change what people eat by reshaping the food system itself.Gousto grew rapidly through the 2010s, with annual growth of around 90% in its first decade. But the business faced a very different environment in 2022, as interest rates rose sharply and household budgets tightened. Boldt responded by expanding the range of recipes and focusing on value, while pushing the company towards profitability and self-funding.He started the business fifteen years ago after long hours in the finance industry left him eating poorly. In the early days he delivered boxes himself, handing out his personal mobile number to customers. Today, after expansion into Ireland, he says the next phase will be international — once the company has fully cracked its home market.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Fliss and Sean start pod 01:39 Timo Boldt joins BBI 02:25 Obesity caused by ultra processed food and its impact 03:50 The cost of Gousto and whether it's too expensive 11:15 Farmer not paid enough. 19:56 Discount model in the industry 23:17 Setting up Gousto and hand delivering food 27:24 Tougher times and how they were navigated 32:20 Why is Gousto only in the UK and Ireland? 39:40 End of pod
In this episode, I sit down with one of my former mentors and professors, Dr. Alan Penzias, Medical Director at Boston IVF and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, to discuss his recent editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine titled "The Weighty Issue of Obesity and Reproductive Success." Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website. We dive deep into how age and weight factor into the fertility equation and why these conversations are so critical for anyone trying to conceive.

Adolescent obesity is rapidly turning into a worldwide health emergency. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 160 million children and teenagers ages 5 to 19 are now overweight or obese A new study from the University of Gothenburg collected data from nearly one million Swedish men and found that obese teenagers are more likely to experience severe infections later in life Obesity is a chronic medical condition characterized by excess body fat that impairs health and leads to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, and metabolic issues that tend to worsen over time Body mass index (BMI) has traditionally been the standard for assessing weight and health, but it has come under scrutiny because it frequently misclassifies risk You can tackle obesity at its root by eliminating metabolic health hazards like seed oils and ultraprocessed foods and instead, choosing healthy carbs and walking more

New research shows that restoring glucose oxidation through the PDH enzyme — not burning more fat — is the key driver of meaningful and sustainable fat loss Obese animals lost fat while preserving muscle once PDH activity was restored, revealing a metabolic repair pathway that supports long-term weight control and higher energy Human muscle studies show that people with flexible fuel switching burn fat during fasting and glucose after meals, while metabolically rigid muscle stays stuck and promotes fat storage Fitness-focused interventions improve insulin sensitivity by strengthening mitochondrial function and restoring proper timing between fat use and glucose handling You can repair this system by lowering dietary fat, increasing healthy carbohydrates, supporting PDH with key nutrients, and using strategic movement to rebuild metabolic flexibility

My guest on this week's Feel Better Live More podcast is Dr Robert Lustig, Professor of Paediatric Endocrinology at the University of California. He's a leading public health expert who has long been exposing the myths of modern medicine and the food industry. His passion is communicating how sugar and ultra-processed food is fuelling the chronic disease epidemic that we are all facing today. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease and so much more are caused, in Rob's view, by the foods that we are eating. In his latest book, Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition and Modern Medicine, he outlines what he calls the ‘hateful eight' – the eight root causes in our body that underlie all chronic disease. He explains how food and sugar impact on them and, most importantly, suggests strategies to counteract them. In this conversation, Rob explains why sugar is so damaging and explains that just like alcohol, our bodies can cope with sugar in small amounts. But in excess will end up in the liver and ultimately trigger us to get sick. Rob's decades of clinical experience and research has led to his bold and compelling assertion that the answer to all chronic disease can be found in real food. His solution? To ‘protect the liver, feed the gut'. I think these 6 words are an elegant way of summarising the nutritional advice that all of us should consider taking on board in order to improve our health and wellbeing. We talk about what constitutes ‘real food' and how different levels of food processing are classified. Rob explains why sugar-sweetened drinks are so disastrous for health, particularly in children – and why diet drinks do just as much damage, if not more. We also talk about TOFI (thin on the outside, fat on the inside) and fascinatingly, Rob outlines the three types of fat gain that we can all experience: subcutaneous (which you can see); visceral (stress-related fat around the middle), and liver fat. It's only the first of these that you're likely to notice – but it's the latter two which we really need to fix, especially as they're already appearing in kids. This conversation is full of mind-blowing facts and insights but it's also really empowering and contains simple, practical tips that all of us can use to improve our lives.

Soybean oil dominates the U.S. food supply. Americans' intake has increased from about 2% to nearly 10% of calories over a century, alongside sharp rises in obesity and diabetes A recent study published in the Journal of Lipid Research found soybean oil drives obesity independent of calories by generating liver oxylipins that track with weight gain, revealing LA metabolism, not food intake, as the key driver of fat accumulation Soybean oil promotes oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, gut permeability, and long-lasting inflammatory byproducts that continue to affect your metabolism for years due to LA's extended half-life in body fat Soy contains additional disruptive compounds, including phytoestrogens, phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, lectins, saponins, and goitrogens, along with frequent glyphosate residues Reducing LA intake means eliminating sources of soybean and other vegetable oils from your diet, and replacing them with stable fats like ghee, tallow, butter, or coconut oil
Jillian Michaels flies solo—and holds nothing back. In this explosive episode, Jillian dismantles the media narrative surrounding the tragic shooting of Renee Goode by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. While politicians and pundits whip the public into tribal hysteria—branding people as “villains” and “terrorists”—Jillian cuts through the noise to expose the real forces fueling the violence. This isn't incompetence. It's strategy. A cynical game of political chess where human lives are expendable collateral. Then she turns her fire on Oprah Winfrey. Is obesity really genetic—or is that a comforting lie designed to keep you dependent, medicated, and profitable? Jillian breaks down the science they don't want you to hear, dismantles the “shame-free” marketing narrative, and exposes the financial conflicts of interest behind the sudden moral rebrand of weight-loss drugs. From Ozempic to Big Food to Big Pharma, this is how the system keeps you sick—and sells you the cure. No platitudes. No safe opinions. Just facts, incentives, and uncomfortable truths. In this episode, Jillian exposes: The ICE Shooting Investigation. Why federal agencies are sidelining local investigators. Blue City Chaos: How reckless language from top politicians escalates into real-world violence. The Ozempic Conflict: Oprah's financial entanglements behind the new “genetic destiny” storyline and GLP1 drugs. The BLISS POINT: How the “food” was engineered to hijack satiety and drive addiction. Big Tobacco's Takeover: How cigarette giants bought the food industry and applied the same addiction science. The Science of Fat Loss. Why the First Law of Thermodynamics still applies—no matter how it's marketed. The REAL REASON Why 74% of Americans Are Overweight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
