Send us a textShort Summary: The science of obesity and appetite regulation, blending genetics and neurobiology with practical insightsAbout the guest: Giles Yeo, PhD is a professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge. He leads a lab studying obesity and appetite regulation.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Nick interviews Dr. Giles Yeo about the genetics and neurobiology of obesity, starting with the discovery of leptin in the obese mouse model, detailing its role in appetite regulation via the hypothalamus, and discussing GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic for weight loss. It delves into how genetic factors, like the leptin-melanocortin pathway, influence hunger, the heritability of body weight, and societal factors driving the obesity epidemic, emphasizing the interplay of biology and environment.Key Takeaways:Leptin, discovered through the obese mouse, signals fat levels to the brain, but its absence causes severe obesity and infertility, as seen in rare human mutations.The hypothalamus, a key brain region, senses hormones like leptin and GLP-1, balancing hunger and satiety through POMC (anorexigenic) and AgRP (orexigenic) neurons.Body weight heritability is 40-70% at the population level, but this does not mean that 40-70% of someone's body fat composition is due to genetic factors outside human control. Dr. Yeo unpacks how to think about it.GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic) mimic gut hormones to reduce appetite, offering some people 15-25% weight loss, but require long-term safety monitoring.According to Dr. Yeo, obesity reflects energy imbalance, but nutritional density matters more than calorie counting for health, and societal changes are needed to prevent it.Related episode:M&M #132: Obesity Epidemic, Diet, Metabolism, Saturated Fat vs. PUFAs, Energy Expenditure, Weight Gain & FeediSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Fad diets work — until they don't. On this Skeptical Sunday, Nick Pell reveals why a sustainable regimen always beats restriction for lasting weight loss!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1139On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:Most fad diets work primarily through inadvertent caloric restriction, not some kind of metabolic magic. When you eliminate entire food groups (per keto's commandments) or shrink eating windows (as with intermittent fasting), you're essentially performing a disappearing act on hundreds of daily calories. The weight loss isn't mysterious — it's mathematical.These diets often resemble nutritional extreme sports — thrilling at first, but impossible to maintain over the long term. Like trying to hold your breath underwater, eventually you come up gasping for carbs.The Standard American Diet (ironically abbreviated S.A.D.) sets such a dismally low nutritional baseline that almost any structured eating plan looks miraculous by comparison. When researchers celebrate a diet's success, they're often comparing it to a nutritional landscape where frozen pizza qualifies as a vegetable serving.Many of these diets carry surprising biological price tags — keto's potential kidney damage, carnivore's digestive rebellion (pooping "once every three days" is less a feature than a warning sign), and nutritional blind spots that could leave your body wondering what happened to all those essential micronutrients it once enjoyed.The most effective diet isn't the most restrictive or trendy, but simply the one you'll actually maintain. Like finding your soulmate, the best nutritional approach matches your lifestyle and preferences while gently steering you toward better choices. The best diet is the one that you'll stick with. Consider finding your personal sweet spot between nutrition science and real-life application by making modest, consistent improvements rather than dramatic overnight overhauls. Your future self will thank you for the balanced approach.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Muscle is Medicine Podcast || Dare to Be Vital BookFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST* Weight and Knee Arthritis:* Weight significantly impacts knee osteoarthritis pain. Research shows a 10% reduction in weight greatly decreases pain scores, and a 13% reduction can reduce arthritis progression by 74%.* Weight management should be central to all treatment strategies. * Global Obesity Crisis:* Obesity is a rapidly worsening global health emergency affecting over 2 billion people worldwide, potentially reaching 3.8 billion by 2050. Current strategies are failing, creating both healthcare and significant economic threats.* Practical Solutions for Weight Management:* Simple strategies like mindful eating (eating less and less frequently), intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, and consuming spicy foods have evidence-backed benefits for weight loss and metabolic health.* Importance of Mindset and Mindset-Physiology Link:* Mindset can physically alter metabolism. Research suggests believing food is indulgent rather than sensible decreases the hunger hormone ghrelin more effectively, demonstrating the power of psychological factors on weight and metabolic health.* Impact of Nature on Pain Management:* Brief exposure to images of nature significantly reduces acute pain perception and increases distraction and pain tolerance. Practical suggestions include keeping nature images accessible as a no-cost pain management strategy.Muscle is Medicine Podcast || Dare to Be Vital Book This is a public episode.

Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia delves into the alarming rise of metabolic syndrome and its devastating impact on cellular health, hormonal balance, and overall well-being. We explore the complex factors contributing to this epidemic, including dietary changes, environmental toxins, and the down-regulation of our metabolic rates. The host challenges conventional wisdom about calorie restriction and exercise, highlighting the crucial role of basal metabolic rate and the detrimental effects of polyunsaturated fats. Dr. Jay outlines the seven key dysfunctions caused by metabolic insufficiency and offers practical, actionable strategies for reversing this trend, emphasizing the importance of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and targeted supplementation.   Episode Takeaways: Metabolic syndrome (affecting 80% of adults) drastically raises the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Key signs: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure/sugar/triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol. Obesity's rise isn't just calories or inactivity; declining BMR (calories burned at rest) is crucial. This is linked to more PUFA consumption and environmental toxins. Metabolic insufficiency causes 7 key problems: mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, lipotoxicity, glycation, hormonal disruption, and autophagy suppression. These fuel fatigue, weight gain, disease risk, aging, and imbalances. Reversal needs a holistic approach: time-restricted eating, prioritizing protein/healthy fats, managing carbs, regular exercise (zone 2 & HIIT), cold/sauna, and hormone balance. Genes aren't destiny. Lifestyle heavily influences gene expression. Healthy habits and addressing metabolic dysfunction's root causes put you in control.   Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction and Feedback Recap 02:30 - Understanding Metabolic Syndrome 05:45 - The Role of Diet and Lifestyle 09:00 - The Obesity Epidemic in America 12:15 - Historical Caloric Intake vs. Modern Times 15:30 - The Impact of Metabolic Rate Changes 18:45 - Environmental Toxins and Metabolism 22:00 - The Consequences of Metabolic Downregulation 25:15 - Cellular Dysfunction and Aging 28:30 - Insulin Resistance and Chronic Inflammation 31:45 - Lipotoxicity and Glycation Explained 35:00 - Hormonal Disruption and Autophagy 38:15 - Solutions for Metabolic Dysfunction 41:30 - Restoring Metabolic Health: Key Strategies 44:45 - Outro and Upcoming Topics Find all things Triple P Life by visiting the website.

Welcome to Episode 38 of the Anthrozoology Podcast. In this episode, we continue exploring Alisa Rubinstien's research on the intersection of humans, companion-animals and fat. Alisa is the AIP2023/AASA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEmj7S9A0fY&t=2020s) Pre-PhD Presentation Award winner for her work titled “Fattening” One Health: An Interspecies Approach to Dismantling the “Obesity Epidemic.” With over ten years of experience in various animal care settings, she recently earned her Master's in Anthrozoology from Canisius University. Currently, Alisa serves as the Lifesaving Manager at a shelter in Philadelphia, focusing on adoption, foster, and volunteer programs. Her academic interests intersect ecofeminism and critical animal studies, particularly exploring how perceptions of animals relate to marginalised humans. Her thesis investigated the roles cats play in the lives of queer women and non-binary individuals. In the second part of their conversation, hosts Kris, Sarah, and Michelle continue their dialogue with Alisa, who discusses potential future research directions, emphasising the need for a better understanding of how societal perceptions can influence the health outcomes of both humans and animals. The discussion also highlights her fascinating thesis on the relationships between queer women and their cats, showcasing how these unique bonds challenge societal narratives. As the episode concludes, Alisa highlights the critical need for compassion and dignity in healthcare, advocating for a One Welfare approach that benefits all beings. This engaging conversation encourages listeners to rethink conventional beliefs about health, weight, and the integral connections we share with animals. In a future episode we talk to another AIP2023 awardee, Dr. Madelena Mañetto Quick, who recently graduated from Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

The government has announced a five-year trial of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro to consider whether its use could reduce unemployment and relieve pressure on the NHS. So this weekend, we revisit an episode from last year looking at another weight loss drug that's already been approved for use by clinically obese individuals in the UK. But is an injection our best option for tackling obesity?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

So last week I sent an email to my list talking about food freedom and fat loss.   I said:   “Food freedom feels like being in control around food but not NEEDING to control food - because:   1. It's just not AS exciting anymore (don't get me wrong I still LOVE food but I don't feel addicted to it)   2. You trust your body. That when you have more cravings or hunger you must need the food, and you know it will balance out later on”   And one of my list members responded.   She said:   “If that is the case then why do people become overweight or obese in the first place if they listen to their body? Isn't that the trouble, that listening to our bodies can make us unhealthy, unfit, reduces life span etc?”   VALID.   This is basically the biggest fear my clients have when they start my program.   They are fit women struggling with binge eating, missing periods and digestive issues.   These are all signs of under-eating.   And I tell them they need to take a break from exercise and start eating what they want, when they want, until they don't want anymore food.   They're like…uhhh Elena? Aren't I just going to endlessly gain weight and end up on “My 600-lb Life?” But that's not what happens.    Listening to their hunger and giving their bodies temporary rest allows their hormones to heal, their binge urges to go away, and their cravings to decrease.   And I'm explaining WHY in this episode of the podcast.   It's truly too long for me to type in an email lol, so I hope you give it a listen.   Any questions?   Contact me: DM me on Instagram @elenakunickird      Email me at elena@elenakunicki.com   ✨ Click here to learn more + apply for my small group program: https://6c4aacdb6e461e386fe04ab2538fc20f.mykajabi.com/normaleater   Resources for this episode: Previous episode: Hyperpalatable foods: How to Trust Yourself Around Them https://elenakunicki.libsyn.com/hyperpalatable-foods-how-to-trust-yourself-around-them Metabolically healthy obese https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2802164#:~:text=Main%20Outcomes%20and%20Measures%20Metabolically,%2DC)%2C%20or%20triglycerides%20based Dieting predicting future weight gain: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3759019/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16650913/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-020-0547-1#:~:text=The%20notion%20that%20dieting%20makes,classic%20longitudinal%20Minnesota%20Starvation%20Experiment. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1471015315000045 2014 meta-analysis showed: Compared to normal weight-fit individuals, unfit individuals had twice the risk of mortality regardless of BMI.

Curious if the latest weight loss trends are just hype or if they actually work? Dive into the truth about metabolic health and what really makes a difference! In today's episode, I talk with Sami Inkinen, founder of Virta health, about how we can tackle metabolic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sami challenges the idea that medications like GLP-1 or surgeries are the answer. Instead, he stresses that proper nutrition is the real solution to reversing these conditions.    Sami also shares how Virta health helps people improve their health without relying on strict self-discipline or extreme measures. The company offers free resources and works with employers to make it easier for people to get help.   Key Takeaways:   Nutrition is the key to reversing conditions like obesity and diabetes.   Medications like GLP-1s and bariatric surgery may help in the short term but are not lasting solutions.   Proper nutrition is key to sustainable health and avoiding reliance on medications or surgeries.   Resources: Sami Inkinen is a co-founder of Virta Health, where he focuses on reversing type 2 diabetes and obesity through personalized nutrition. With expertise in metabolic health and GLP-1 medications, Sami emphasizes long-term lifestyle changes over quick fixes.

Unveiling Blind Spots in American Healthcare: Insights from Dr. Marty Makary Get your copy of BLIND SPOTS at: https://geni.us/blindspots In a recent episode of Your Health Matters, host Karl Sterling spoke with Dr. Marty Makary, a leading surgeon and public health expert from Johns Hopkins University. They discussed Dr. Makary's book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong and What It Means for Our Health, which shines a light on the major issues plaguing the U.S. healthcare system. Here's a summary of the key topics covered and practical takeaways from their conversation: 1. The Obesity Epidemic and Chronic Disease Dr. Makary highlighted the troubling rise in obesity and chronic diseases, driven largely by the "poisoned food supply" in the U.S. He noted how prevention is often overlooked in favor of treatment. With nearly 50% of American children classified as obese—compared to only 3% in Japan—he stressed the importance of healthier dietary choices. Takeaways: Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods. Advocate for better nutrition education in schools. Encourage regular physical activity to combat obesity. 2. Overmedication in America The conversation shifted to the U.S.'s over-reliance on medications. Dr. Makary explained that the country is the most overmedicated population in history, with many quick fixes being prescribed instead of addressing the root causes of health issues. Takeaways: Explore lifestyle changes like diet and exercise before resorting to medication. Ask your healthcare provider if prescriptions are necessary or if there are alternatives. Be mindful of the risks of overusing antibiotics. 3. Lack of Transparency in Healthcare Billing Dr. Makary pointed out the lack of price transparency in healthcare, where patients often receive hefty bills with little explanation. He emphasized the need for more open and clear pricing in the system. Takeaways: Always request a cost estimate before any medical procedure. Compare healthcare costs across different providers. Support initiatives that promote transparency in medical billing. 4. The Importance of the Gut Microbiome Dr. Makary discussed the role of the gut microbiome in overall health, affecting everything from digestion to immune function and mental health. He emphasized that maintaining a healthy microbiome is critical to overall well-being. Takeaways: Incorporate fiber-rich foods and probiotics into your diet. Avoid unnecessary antibiotics to protect your gut bacteria. Pay attention to digestive health and seek medical advice if issues persist. 5. Systemic Healthcare Issues The discussion concluded with Dr. Makary's critique of the systemic issues within the healthcare system. He argued that the system often prioritizes profit and efficiency over patient care, leading to gaps in service. Takeaways: Advocate for healthcare reforms that focus on patient care over profits. Seek holistic healthcare providers who address root causes instead of treating symptoms. Additional Insights: Gut Health and Birth: Dr. Makary explained how a baby's gut microbiome is influenced by birth conditions and breastfeeding. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): He highlighted the benefits of HRT for postmenopausal women in managing symptoms and improving long-term health. Peanut Allergy Epidemic: Dr. Makary discussed the rise in peanut allergies and advocated for early exposure to allergens to build tolerance. Conclusion: This episode provided an in-depth look at the blind spots in American healthcare, focusing on the importance of prevention, transparency, and patient-centered care. Dr. Makary's insights offer practical advice for individuals to make informed lifestyle choices and advocate for systemic reforms.

Hey Kids... Remember that the church goes woke before the culture does.The Ultra Processed Food Industry is All the Rage, but what about the Ultra Processed Theology Industry that's been pumping us full of empty calories and causing a spiritual obesity epidemic for centuries?? It may be time we review our Doctrinal Diet.  @GeorgeJanko  had some excellent points and questions in their original video, its unfortunate that he deferred to  @RealCharlieKirk  ...who still has some work to do here on the doctrinal side. SummaryThe video discusses the need for a new doctrinal food pyramid in Christianity, comparing modern beliefs to ultra-processed theology and its effects on spiritual health.Highlights

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we're talking with Eden Miller, DO, founder of the Diabetes and Obesity Care clinic in Bend, Oregon, which provides high-level obesity intervention and diabetes treatment and prevention. Her study, "Inadequate Insurance Coverage for Overweight/Obesity Management," reviews the US obesity epidemic and discusses insufficient insurance coverage for obesity management.

Dr. Barbara Corkey is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Biochemistry at Boston University. Over her prolific and outstanding academic career she went deep into the mechanics of metabolic disease. Along the way, she stumbled upon some shocking insight about the nature of obesity as she watched the epidemic unfold in real time. Despite the popular wisdom that weight gain is a simple matter of calories in v. calories out, Dr. Corkey came to understanad that there was a sea of environmental toxins wreaking havoc on our food supply which seemed to influence weight outcomes more than anything else. Her revelations reach into every aspect of the food supply and the organization of our modern civilization. What do you make of it? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!
