In episode 206 of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, I interview Dr. Justin Marchegiani regarding his newly released book, The Thyroid Reboot. Topics covered in this episode include: Why is The Thyroid Reboot book different than others? What is driving thyroiditis and hypothyroidism? Is hypothyroidism caused by an immune system out of control or an adaptive response? The impact of stressors on driving thyroiditis and hypothyroidism Starting points for addressing hypothyroidism The role of thyroid antibodies And more... Dr. Justin Marchegiani began his medical career at the University of Massachusetts, where he was initially drawn to the surgical field. This early experience gave him a firsthand look at both the capabilities and limitations of the traditional healthcare system. While he appreciated its effectiveness in treating acute injuries and trauma, he also saw a gap in its approach to chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. After earning a degree in Kinesiology and Pre-medical studies from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Dr. Justin furthered his education at Life West University, where he received his Doctorate in Chiropractic. Now a licensed chiropractor in Texas and Kansas, his commitment to holistic health has driven him to pursue further studies in clinical nutrition, rehabilitative exercise, and functional medicine. His extensive knowledge base enables him to employ innovative techniques that are tailored to address the complex health needs of his patients. Dr. Justin is skilled in helping athletes improve their performance and recovery processes, as well as aiding individuals who struggle with persistent health issues. With a focus on holistic care, he aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of health concerns, leading to quicker recovery and enhanced overall well-being for his patients. https://justinhealth.com/

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged, we'll be discussing the various factors that impact brain health and exploring strategies for optimizing brain function. First, we'll be discussing the impact of exercise on brain health. Research has shown that regular exercise can help to improve brain function, enhance cognitive performance, and even reduce the risk of certain neurological disorders. We'll also be discussing the types of exercise that are most beneficial for the brain. Next, we'll be exploring the role of nutrition and supplements in promoting brain health. Certain foods and supplements have been shown to improve brain function and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. We'll be discussing which foods and supplements are most effective and how to incorporate them into your diet. Stress is another important factor that can impact brain health. Chronic stress has been shown to have negative effects on the brain, including impairing cognitive function and increasing the risk of neurological disorders. We'll be exploring strategies for managing stress to optimize brain health. There are several lab markers that can provide insights into brain health, such as inflammatory markers, lipid levels, and neurotrophic factors. We'll be discussing the significance of these markers and how they can be used to assess brain health. Sleep is also essential for brain health, as it plays a critical role in memory consolidation and cognitive function. We'll be discussing the importance of getting adequate sleep and strategies for improving sleep quality. Finally, we'll be exploring the impact of alcohol on the brain. While moderate alcohol consumption has been shown to have some health benefits, excessive alcohol consumption can have negative effects on brain function and increase the risk of neurological disorders.   To learn more, please go to https://rapidhealthoptimization.com Connect with our guests: Dan Garner on Instagram Anders Varner on Instagram Doug Larson on Instagram Coach Travis Mash on Instagram

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Alia Crum, PhD, professor of psychology at Stanford University and the director of the Stanford Mind & Body Lab. Dr. Crum explains that our mindsets—for example, what we believe about stress, exercise and the food we eat—shape how we feel, behave and even how our bodies respond. We discuss studies showing simply believing a food is indulgent can shift satiety hormones and that viewing your daily activity as real exercise can improve weight loss and health markers. We also discuss how to reframe stress so it becomes a tool for growth and improved performance. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged Dan Garner dives into how you can start to analyze your yearly bloodwork for performance. Standard blood tests can be ordered around the globe, in every country, and are the gold standard for understanding basic health. The normal reference ranges, however, are not giving you the answers you are looking for when it come to optimizing your health and performance. In this episode you will learn: What's the mindset/philosophy of looking at bloodwork for performance if it's classically a health screen? Generally speaking, energy is what every performer needs regardless of their pursuit. How can one look at bloodwork to improve their energy levels? Electrolytes come on every panel, can these be used to look at hydration and performance? You've talked a bunch about the immune system in past podcasts so I'm wondering what a basic blood panel can tell us about the current state of our immunity? What general recommendations do you have in terms of preparation so when someone gets their blood draw they can ensure it's accurate?   To learn more, please visit rapidhealthoptimization.com to see Dr. Andy Galpin and Dan Garner do a free lab, lifestyle, and performance analysis.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Keith Diaz, Associate Professor of Behavioral Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, to unpack the hidden health risks of prolonged sitting.Keith explains why even daily exercise isn't enough to counteract the effects of sedentary behavior. Drawing on his lab's findings, he shares a simple but powerful prescription: five minutes of light walking every hour. That small change can lower blood pressure, improve mood, and reduce fatigue, without needing to break a sweat.The conversation also explores how modern work and home environments are built around sitting, and what it takes to build smarter habits. From treadmill desks to family walks, Keith offers practical strategies that make movement part of everyday life. Whether you're an employer, a clinician, or just desk-bound, this episode helps you rethink how you move through your day. Guest-at-a-Glance

Support YDS on Patreon!This week, Zoë and Kylee tackle the carnivore diet, the internet's most extreme eating trend. From raw liver smoothies at Erewhon to shirtless influencers promising that “meat heals everything,” the carnivore diet has exploded in popularity. But what really happens when you cut out all plants and live on ribeye steaks, bacon, and bone broth?We explore the strange history of meat-only diets, from 1920s Bellevue experiments to modern influencers like Shawn Baker and Paul Saladino. We unpack the claims about plant “toxins,” the allure of ketosis, and why athletes, especially women, need carbs for performance, recovery, and hormone health. And we dig into the environmental cost of ribeye-heavy eating, why beef is one of the most resource-intensive foods on the planet, and how climate denial often gets wrapped into carnivore culture.So should you go full T-Rex? Probably not. But understanding the hype—and the risks—shows why restrictive food fads keep spreading, and why carbs are still essential for endurance athletes and long-term health.Support the ShowEternal – To check out Foundations, use the promo code YDS for 10% a one year membership.Tailwind Nutrition offers science–backed endurance fuel that actually works.

Fewer Americans are drinking alcohol and more say even moderate drinking is bad. Dr. Nick Gilpin, Professor of Physiology and Director of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center of Excellence at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, joins us.

Join Dr. Eric Balcavage as he explores the critical relationship between gut health and thyroid function with registered dietitian and microbiome expert Kara Siedman. This episode dives deep into how your microbiome - the collection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living in your gut - directly impacts thyroid physiology and overall health.   Kara breaks down the complex science into actionable insights, explaining how gut dysbiosis can trigger thyroid dysfunction through inflammatory pathways, intestinal permeability, and disrupted hormone conversion. You'll discover why digestive symptoms aren't always present even when gut dysfunction is driving thyroid issues, and learn practical strategies for supporting your microbiome through diet, lifestyle, and targeted interventions.   Key topics include: The role of short-chain fatty acids, The truth about probiotic supplementation How to evaluate microbiome health The connection between GLP-1 production and metabolic function. Whether you're dealing with Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, or other chronic conditions, this episode provides the foundational knowledge you need to understand why gut health is often the missing piece in thyroid recovery. Kara Siedman, RDN, CDCES is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist with over 15 years of clinical experience in inpatient care, outpatient program development, and integrative/functional nutrition. She earned her degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and completed her dietetic internship at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Kara's work in a leading gastroenterology practice sparked her transition into functional nutrition, where she integrated root-cause approaches into GI care and became a mentor and key opinion leader in the field. Her passion for the gut microbiome evolved into a professional specialty, leading her to collaborate with biotech and microbiome-focused companies like Pendulum, Microbiome Labs, and now Resbiotic. As Director of Partnerships at resbiotic, Kara educates healthcare providers on microbiome science and the clinical application of targeted microbiome therapies. Known for her ability to simplify complex research, she brings clarity, credibility, and passion to gut health education. https://resbiotic.com/

Dr. Tro Kalayjian is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and the founder of Toward Health, a virtual metabolic health clinic helping people break free from food addiction and chronic metabolic disease. He's also a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners and an international speaker on metabolic psychiatry, obesity, and nutrition science. But what makes Dr. Tro's work truly powerful is that it's personal. He grew up in a household affected by obesity and struggled with his own weight into adulthood, reaching over 350 pounds. After years of frustration with traditional medical advice, he took a deep dive into the research and completely transformed his health—losing over 150 pounds and sustaining that loss for more than a decade. His clinic's latest research, published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, shows how combining low-carb nutrition with real-time support, psychological care, and metabolic monitoring can significantly reduce food addiction and binge eating symptoms—offering hope for those who haven't found relief in diets or medications alone. Dr. Tro is passionate about helping others find food freedom, and today he's here to share the science, the struggle, and the solutions that actually work. Research Highlights: Published in Frontiers in Psychiatry (2025): 43 lbs average weight loss ~40–50% improvement in food addiction and binge eating symptoms Outcomes comparable to medications (e.g. amphetamines, GLP-1s) — but without long-term side effects Case series (220 people) on keto for binge eating showed significant improvements, challenging the old myth that "restrictive diets worsen eating disorders"

In this episode, we explore the powerful practice of cycle syncing--a method of aligning nutrition, fitness, sleep, and daily habits with the four phases of the menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) to optimize female health and performance. Designed for women seeking better energy, hormonal balance, and productivity, this episode breaks down how to use biofeedback tools like heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate (RHR) to track recovery, predict hormonal shifts, and guide training intensity. Listeners learn how to adapt their nutrition to reduce cravings and support hormonal balance, improve sleep quality by phase, and adjust their workouts to match energy availability--pushing harder in the follicular and ovulatory phases and embracing recovery in the luteal phase. The key message is clear: cycle syncing is not about restriction, but about working with your body, not against it, to unlock greater vitality, clarity, and long-term health.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the show!3:12 The Art of Cycle Syncing6:03 Who this is for9:15 Reducing illness & symptoms11:16 Ancestral cycles & rhythms13:45 Cycle Syncing basics17:01 Data Wearables for Period tracking20:00 Biometrics per menstrual phase27:14 HRV & what recovery feels like28:19 *MIMIO*30:09 Translating HRV metrics35:17 How to start cycle syncing36:46 Cycle Syncing biohacks38:02 Pairing exercise with your cycle42:47 Pairing nutrition with your cycle46:40 Troubleshooting your luteal phase53:10 Cycle syncing as a guide, not a blueprint55:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Cycle Syncing GuideOURA RingNatural Cycles appMIMO HEALTH - code: biohackerbabesPUORI - discount code: biohackerbabesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Anumeha Bhagat, MD, DNB, joins the Faculty Factory Podcast this week for a timely interview on medical education, innovative teaching skills, and building a new generation of well-rounded leaders in the field worldwide. As mentioned in this interview, Dr. Bhagat is a fellow of the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) Institutes. She also serves as an Assistant Professor of Physiology and is a member of the MEU faculty at Government Medical College in Chandigarh, India. She is a major proponent of measuring impact in faculty development, and as an international podcast reaching over 100 countries, we are hopeful that learning about global best practices will be a key benefit of having Dr. Bhagat joins us this week! Her work aims to enhance the quality of medical training, cultivate well-rounded future leaders in medicine, and promote innovative teaching methods to better prepare faculty for the demands of this beautiful calling of academic medicine.  As discussed in the opening moments of this interview, getting trained in basic medical education technologies is a mandatory requirement for promotion in India. This contrasts with the United States, where education can be a pathway or track, or even supplementary. “The governing bodies have made this a mandatory requirement. So, once you become a faculty member, you need to complete this basic course in medical education to be promoted to the next level,” she explained.  We would like to thank a dear friend of the Faculty Factory, Page S. Morahan, PhD, a founding co-director of FAIMER, for connecting us with Dr. Bhagat, who helped paved the way for this enriching discussion with Dr. Bhagat.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the evolution of lungs and of the first breaths, which can be traced back 400 million years to when animal life spread from rock pools and swamps onto land, as some fish found an evolutionary advantage in getting their oxygen from air rather than water. Breathing with lungs may have started with fish filling their mouths with air and forcing it down into sacs in their chests, like the buccal pumping that frogs do now, and slowly their swimming muscles adapted to work their lungs like bellows. While lungs developed in different ways, there are astonishing continuities: for example, the distinct breathing system that helps tiny birds fly thousands of miles now is also the one that once allowed some dinosaurs to become huge; our hiccups are vestiges of the flight reaction in fish needing more oxygen; and we still breathe through our skins, just not enough to meet our needs.With:Steve Brusatte Professor of Palaeontology and Evolution at the University of EdinburghEmily Rayfield Professor of Palaeobiology at the University of BristolAndJonathan Codd Professor of Integrative Zoology at the University of ManchesterProducer: Simon Tillotson Reading list:Roger B.

Ever wonder if the body tells its own version of your inner story? That maybe the channels don't just carry qi—but also the shape of your longings, the tempo of your fears, and the echo of old emotional weather? What if meridians are a kind of cartography, not just for physiology, but for the inner landscape of the self?In this conversation with Andreas Brüch, we explore how Saam acupuncture offers a tri-dimensional system for working with emotion, physiology, and the mind. Andreas brings a background in psychology and decades of clinical practice to this discussion on the inseparability of mental and physical experience—and how Korean Saam theory makes that relationship clinically usable.Listen into this discussion as we explore the tri-axial framework of damp/dry, hot/cold, and inward/outward movement; how meridians can reflect patterns of hunger, power, and satisfaction; and why emotional imbalance might be best addressed through constitutional physiology.This one's for anyone who's ever sensed that symptoms are also signals—that the channel system is more than flow, it's also the message.
