What happens when a world-famous chef starts questioning the food system, modern wellness culture, and the way we've been taught to think about health? In this rerun episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with Australian chef, author, and wellness advocate Pete Evans for a conversation that goes far beyond recipes and nutrition trends. Pete shares how his journey from professional surfer to celebrity chef eventually led him toward a deeper exploration of healing, intentional living, and the emotional connection people have with food. The discussion dives into the power of real, minimally processed ingredients, the importance of reconnecting with cooking at home, and why food may play a larger role in overall wellness than many people realize. Pete also reflects on the cultural and spiritual side of eating — from slowing down and sharing meals to questioning the systems that shape modern health advice. This episode is less about rigid diet rules and more about curiosity, awareness, and reclaiming a healthier relationship with what we put into our bodies. In This Episode Pete Evans' evolution from celebrity chef to wellness advocate Why real food and cooking at home matter more than ever The connection between food, community, and emotional well-being How modern lifestyles may be disconnecting people from health The role of intentional living and mindful eating Why questioning mainstream narratives became part of Pete's journey Thoughts on healing, simplicity, and returning to foundational habits About Pete Evans Pete Evans is an Australian chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality known for his focus on whole foods, wellness, and lifestyle-centered health approaches. Over the years, he has become a prominent voice in conversations around nutrition, cooking, and alternative health philosophies. He is also associated with the documentary The Magic Pill, which explored dietary approaches to chronic disease and metabolic health. Welcome to BS Free MD — the podcast where medicine, freedom, family, culture, and curiosity collide. Hosted by Dr. May Hindmarsh and Dr. Tim Hindmarsh, BS Free MD is known for having bold, unfiltered conversations that challenge conventional thinking in healthcare and beyond. From wellness and medical freedom to culture, science, parenting, and current events, the show explores topics many people are thinking about — but few are willing to openly discuss.

Whether you agree, disagree, or land somewhere in the middle, BS Free MD invites listeners into thoughtful dialogue without the corporate filter. Listen & Follow BS Free MD

Most people wait until something is wrong before they start caring about their health.But what if the real question we should be asking is:Why wait until the body breaks down?In this episode, Coach Bell talks about the true importance of preventative health and why the most valuable questions we ask ourselves should be about our health and how our bodies are functioning internally.Because the truth is simple:If we are not feeling well internally, we will never fully enjoy the things that matter most in life.Our families.Our purpose.Our work.Our faith.Our time.Too many people are guessing when it comes to their health instead of measuring what is really going on inside the body.In this conversation we explore:• Why preventative health must come before performance• The danger of ignoring internal health signals• Why testing matters more than guessing• Questions everyone should ask themselves about their health• How improving internal health can transform how you feel, move, and liveThis episode is a reminder that your health is the foundation for everything else in life.Because if you don't feel well, you can't fully show up for the things and people you love.Test. Don't guess.Website: https://www.zinzino.com/2020891442

Nutrition scientist and dietitian Dr Joanna McMillan joins us to break down the science of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), debunk heating myths, and explain how to choose the right olive oil for maximum health benefit. Then, Heart Foundation representative Elizabeth Calleja discusses why Australians aren't meeting physical activity guidelines — and shares practical tools nurses can use to start meaningful exercise conversations with patients. Evidence-based, practical and highly relatable — this is lifestyle medicine made simple. The latest Nursing Australia News (04:00) Bulk-billing boom, universal respiratory vax, and weight-loss drugs on the rise. Segment 1: What is EVOO (06:50) Is olive oil really healthy once it's heated? And what actually makes extra virgin olive oil different? Nutrition scientist and dietitian Dr Joanna McMillan unpacks the myths, explains the science behind EVOO, and shares practical advice on choosing and using olive oil for maximum cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits. Segment 2: Get Moving (29:20) Australians are falling short of recommended physical activity levels — and it's impacting long-term health outcomes. Elizabeth Calleja from the Heart Foundation joins us to explain why movement matters, how much is enough, and the practical tools available to help nurses confidently support patients in becoming more active.

It's one of those weeks where the headlines feel uncomfortably close to home. Between James Van Der Beek's death from colorectal cancer and Eric Dane's ALS diagnosis, it's hard not to think about your own health and mortality. So we brought on our friend Mickey Rapkin — journalist, author, former GQ editor, and yes, the guy who wrote Pitch Perfect before it became a major studio franchise. In August 2025, Mickey's older brother Jon died from brain cancer. We talk about sibling loss (aka the worst club), the sacred inside jokes, the random movie lines that become part of your daily language, and how grief rewires you on a cellular level. We also get into Mickey's Men's Health piece about cancer screenings — the big question of how much do you want to know, what testing can (and can't) do, and why “control is an illusion” is both depressing and… oddly clarifying.

Send us a textWhat if sleep was the most powerful hormone-balancing tool you had—and you didn't need another supplement to access it?In this episode, Gina and Kristin unpack why sleep isn't optional when it comes to hormone health—it's foundational medicine. If you're eating well, exercising, and “doing all the right things” but still struggling with fatigue, stubborn weight, cravings, PMS, or cycle issues, this conversation is for you.We break down the science behind the hormone–sleep connection in a way that actually makes sense, including how poor sleep impacts cortisol, insulin, melatonin, and your hunger hormones. You'll also hear common client patterns we see when sleep is off—like waking between 2–4 a.m., feeling wired but tired, or plateauing despite your best efforts.Most importantly, we reframe sleep as an intentional healing tool, not just more hours in bed. You'll learn why quality matters more than quantity, how circadian rhythm drives hormone balance, and why better sleep starts first thing in the morning—not at bedtime.We wrap with practical, hormone-supportive sleep tips you can start using tonight, plus a simple reflection to help you take action without overwhelm.✨ In this episode, we cover:Why sleep is active hormone therapyHow poor sleep disrupts cortisol, insulin, and appetite regulationSigns your hormones are being impacted by sleep (even if you get 8 hours)The role of circadian rhythm in cycle health, thyroid function, and fertilitySimple shifts that can create big hormonal changes
I get my blood work done every 90 days and I swear it's the ultimate tip for health in the short term and in the long term and just feeling your best on he daily. So, today I'm going to try to convince you to do the same. Because there is a huge difference between being "not sick" and being truly healthy and if you aren't getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don't know what's going on. Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong. When they feel bad. When they are exhausted. When a symptom won't go away. When a doctor orders it because something already happened. Instead of doing it reactively, we are talking about doing it proactively. How can you know what your body needs? What supplements or adjustments to your lifestyle… it's almost impossible without bloodwork. It tells you how your hormones are functioning. How inflamed your body is. How well you are absorbing nutrients. How your cholesterol is trending. How stressed your nervous system is. How your metabolism is working. How your immune system is functioning. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become a real problem. Let's go! Your blood work is your internal dashboard. It's crazy that most people are driving their body blind!! I do full blood work every 90 days and I swear by it. I'm going to break it all down today. Every 90 days I sit down with my functional medicine doctor, Dr. Singler, and we go through everything. We look at what's trending up. What's trending down. What needs support. What needs to be addressed. We adjust supplements. We talk about lifestyle changes. We sometimes talk about peptides. We look at stress markers like cortisol. We look at hormones. We look at inflammation. We look at cholesterol. We look at nutrient deficiencies. It's not just "do you have a disease." It's "what is your body asking for." And that quarterly check-in has become one of the most powerful forms of self-care I do. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become diagnoses. Because knowledge is power. And when it comes to your health, awareness is leverage. ***Why the Best Health and Longevity Experts Obsess Over Biomarkers When you listen to people like Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and leaders in longevity medicine, one theme is constant. You can't manage what you don't measure. They talk constantly about biomarkers. Blood markers. Hormones. Cholesterol. Glucose. Inflammation. Nutrients. Stress markers. Not because numbers are the goal. Because trends tell the truth. You don't need to wait until something is "out of range" to take action. You can see patterns forming. You can see directions your health is moving. You can intervene early. Longevity is not built by reacting to disease. Longevity is built by managing risk decades before disease shows up. Blood work lets you see inside the body instead of guessing from the outside. Energy, mood, sleep, weight, anxiety, motivation, focus, hormones, immune function… all of it leaves fingerprints in your labs. *** Why Every 90 Days Is a Sweet Spot Doing blood work every 90 days creates a rhythm. It's long enough for meaningful changes to occur. It's short enough to catch problems early. It's frequent enough to personalize your approach. This cadence allows you to: • See how supplements are actually working • Know if lifestyle changes are helping • Track hormones as they shift • Monitor cholesterol trends • Watch inflammation markers • Identify deficiencies before symptoms • See how stress is impacting your body It turns health into an ongoing relationship instead of a once-a-year appointment. Rather than living on autopilot, it becomes a quarterly check-in. "How is my body actually doing?" "What does it need right now?" "What needs to change?" ***The Power of Baselines One of the most underrated benefits of regular blood work is baselines. When you know what your normal looks like, everything changes. If something shifts, you see it faster. If you get sick, you have something to compare to. If symptoms show up, you're not starting from zero. Your baseline becomes your personal health fingerprint. This is especially powerful with hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, glucose, and nutrient levels. Medicine is often built around population averages. But health is personal. Your optimal range is not always the same as "normal." Blood work every 90 days teaches you your body. ***Personalization Instead of Guessing Most people take supplements blindly. They try what's trending. What a friend is taking. What TikTok says. What an ad promises. Blood work removes guessing. You stop throwing things at your body and hoping. You start making informed decisions. When I review labs with my doctor, we are not just looking for problems. We are optimizing. We adjust supplements based on what my body is actually showing. We talk about hormones. We talk about stress. We talk about sleep. We talk about hydration. We talk about inflammation. We talk about recovery. If cortisol is elevated, the conversation shifts to lifestyle, nervous system, sleep, slowing down, hydration, sauna, recovery. If something is low, we talk about absorption, nutrition, and targeted support. It becomes a dialogue with your body instead of a guessing game. ***Emotional Health Lives in the Labs Too This is not just physical. Your labs often reflect your emotional and mental load. Stress hormones. Inflammation. Blood sugar instability. Nutrient depletion. Your body keeps the receipts. Blood work gives you objective data to support lifestyle changes. Sometimes the answer is not another supplement. Sometimes it's rest. Sleep. Boundaries. Sunlight. Movement. Slowing down. It's incredibly empowering to see that connection clearly. It turns self-care into strategy, not indulgence. ***How I Do It and How You Could Do It The way I do it is higher touch and more expensive. I use a mobile blood draw that comes to my house. Then I schedule a long call with my functional medicine doctor to go through everything. We take our time. We look at the full picture. We build a plan. But you do not have to do it that way. You can ask your doctor to order labs. You can go to a clinic and make an appointment so you're not waiting forever. You can get a basic panel and build from there. You can even upload your results into ChatGPT and use it as an educational tool to help you understand what the markers mean and what questions to ask your doctor. This doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be consistent. ***Why This Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make We spend money on convenience. On clothes. On food. On homes. On trips. On businesses. But nothing affects the quality of your life more than the quality of your health. Energy. Mood. Confidence. Focus. Longevity. Relationships. Joy. Blood work every 90 days is not an expense. It is intelligence. It is prevention. It is personalization. It is early detection. It is self-leadership. It is saying, "I care about how long I live and how well I live." ***Most people wait for symptoms to tell them something is wrong. But by the time symptoms show up, your body has usually been whispering for a long time. Blood work lets you hear the whispers. It lets you see trends before problems. Adjust before crashes. Support before burnout. Correct before disease. For me, doing blood work every 90 days has become a quarterly health check-in with myself. How am I really doing? What does my body need? What needs to change? What needs support? It keeps me connected to my health instead of disconnected from it. And I truly believe this is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care anyone can adopt. So if you take anything from this episode, let it be this. Don't wait for something to go wrong. Start tracking your health while things are going right. There's nothing more important or worth spending your time and money on!

This episode is a blunt, no-apologies examination of why healthcare feels expensive, impersonal, and broken—because it is operating exactly as designed. Tim argues that the system thrives on fear, inflated pricing, and the removal of consumer agency. From end-of-life care to insurance “psyops,” the conversation highlights how divorcing patients from cost, choice, and responsibility fuels inefficiency and moral hazard. The episode closes with a clear message: you don't fix this system from inside it—you opt out where you can, take ownership of your health, and stop feeding the machine.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

Death doesn't wait for symptoms, and neither should you. This eye-opening episode tackles the critical yet often avoided topic of men's health during Men's Health Month.Did you know men are 24% less likely than women to have seen a doctor in the past year? The statistics are alarming, but there's hope. Whether you identify as male or simply care about the men in your life, this conversation could literally save lives. Dr. Jules dives deep into why men avoid healthcare (hint: it's not laziness) and how cultural messaging about "toughness" and "manning up" contributes to shorter male lifespans.The episode delivers a comprehensive breakdown of the top three killers of men - heart disease, cancer, and strokes - with practical strategies for prevention. Rather than vague advice, Dr. Jules provides age-specific screening recommendations from your 20s through your 60s and beyond. Through compelling real patient stories, including a 52-year-old man who was a "walking time bomb" despite feeling fine and a 59-year-old whose delayed colonoscopy led to advanced cancer, the message becomes clear: waiting for symptoms can be deadly.What makes this conversation especially powerful is its framing of men's health as a family issue. Women, who make up over 80% of the podcast's audience and often serve as family health coordinators, receive practical guidance on supporting the men they love. The episode concludes with a profound reminder that prevention isn't just about extending life, but enriching it.

Dr. Scott Vrzal shares groundbreaking insights on how headaches serve as crucial warning signals from your body, revealing deeper health issues you might not know about. After suffering from debilitating headaches himself, Dr. Vrzal's journey led him to discover that most headaches aren't actually problems with your head at all – they're referred pain from other organs and systems in your body.In this compelling conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, Dr. Vrzal explains how the location of your headache can pinpoint specific organ dysfunctions: right-sided headaches often indicate gallbladder issues, left-sided headaches suggest stomach problems, and tension headaches frequently point to thyroid dysfunction. This knowledge isn't just theoretical – Dr. Vrzal has used these connections to help patients who haven't found relief through conventional approaches.Beyond headaches, Dr. Vrzal discusses how muscle testing, nutrition, and addressing emotional components play critical roles in achieving lasting wellness. His approach challenges conventional thinking by focusing on root causes rather than symptom management, offering viewers practical tools to interpret their own body's signals before they become serious health concerns.Learn why Dr. Vrzal calls this "The Headache Advantage" and how understanding these connections could transform your approach to health, prevent unwanted symptoms, and possibly keep you off the operating table.BIG IDEAMost headaches are not problems with your head at all but are referred pain from other organs and systems in your body, serving as critical warning signals that something needs attention.Dr. Scott Vrzal Contact Info:Website: https://www.drvrzal.com/Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCNYNHKZFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dr.Scott.j.Vrzal/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

What If Your Annual Physical Is Missing the Most Important Clues About Your Future Health?In this episode of Asking for a Friend, I sit down with Dr. Dave DeMarco—primary care physician and owner of DexaFit Cincinnati—to uncover what most standard medical exams are failing to tell us, especially for adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.Dr. DeMarco is reshaping the landscape of preventative healthcare by using advanced diagnostics to detect early warning signs of metabolic dysfunction, muscle loss, and other hidden health risks—long before they show up in traditional bloodwork or physicals.We explore:Why DEXA scans are a game-changer for understanding body composition, especially visceral fat and lean muscleHow muscle mass acts as your “401k for aging”—and why it's critical to build and protect it nowThe role of VO2 max, metabolic rate testing, and continuous glucose monitoring in predicting long-term health and vitalityWhat you need to know about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic—and how to use them without sacrificing muscleDr. DeMarco explains how the right data can help you delay or even avoid the “marginal decade”—those final 10 years marked by physical decline, mobility issues, and dependency—and instead create a longer, healthier, more vibrant life.Whether you're trying to lose weight, maintain your independence, or outsmart a poor family health history, this conversation is packed with insights you can act on now.Midlife isn't too late—it's the perfect time to take charge of your health.
