Jill and Chris interview Dr. Paul Kolodzik, who uses the technology of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in his metabolic health practice. With the use of CGMs, he helps his patients achieve weight loss and improved health. He has also integrated the prudent use of the new weight loss medications into his practice. His new book: The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, presents a comprehensive program for metabolic health success using CGMs and limited use of weight loss medications. Dr. Kolodzik graduated from the University of Notre Dame and completed medical school and residency at Wright State University where he served as chief resident. He is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. He is board-certified by both the American Board of Preventive Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Physicians. In a thirty-year emergency room career, he has cared for many patients in crises and has witnessed firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and the medical system overall, which prioritizes medications and surgery over diet and lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse disease.  For more information and links mentioned in this episode, please visit our website at BecomingElli.com

For Hypertension Awareness Month, we are fortunate to have Dr. Robert Ostfeld, a cardiologist at Montefiore Medical Center, join us to talk about lifestyle approaches for treating – and preventing – high blood pressure. In this episode, Dr. Ostfeld explains the numbers, the symptoms – or lack of symptoms – and the associated risks. A self-confessed “reformed cardiologist,” he talks about how he saw his patients who adopted a plant-based diet significantly lower their blood pressure. Not ready to go totally plant-based? Dr. Ostfeld says simply adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can help lower not only your blood pressure but also your risk for heart disease, stroke and dozens of other conditions.   The Takeaway We want to hear from you!

When you hear about a big drop in the stock market, do you feel uneasy? Do you consider selling your stocks or not investing any more money right now. That you'll wait until the market starts to recover? If that sounds like you, you need to listen to this podcast episode. I want to encourage you to stay invested. When you deviate from your investment plan due to the performance of the stock market, you are actually practicing market timing, which is a fool game. In this episode, I explain why it's so hard to time the market and why it's better to stay invested, and keep investing according to your financial or investment plan. That was true even with the Great Depression. The big market drop came in 1929 but the stock market didn't hit bit bottom until 1932. People who kept investing in 1930 and 1931 and didn't wait until 1932 ended up with a much higher portfolio by 1942.  Current life expectancy in the US of 79.4 years is from https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/usa/united-states/life-expectancy The research study that showed that US male physicians were older when they died compared to male lawyers, other male professionals, and men in general is Frank, Erica et al.

EPISODE SUMMARYAfter a successful career in clinical practice, Dr. Chris Knobbe's personal experience with dietary changes led him to investigate the root causes of AMD, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50. His research revealed a startling pattern: age-related chronic disease was extremely rare before the widespread introduction of processed vegetable oils into the food supply. Through analysis of data from 25 nations, he found that as vegetable oil consumption increased, all age-related chronic disease rates rates rose in parallel. NOTABLE QUOTE"Between 1851 and about 1930, there were no more than about 50 cases of AMD in all the world's literature. And just to put that in perspective, in 2020, it was estimated there were 196 million cases of AMD."Website: https://chrisknobbemd.com Instagram: @ancestralhealthfoundation Book: "Ancestral Diet Revolution"Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In a bombshell interview, the parents of the unvaccinated 6-year-old Texas child who reportedly died from measles told CHD that her measles were mostly gone before she entered the ICU – but the child was intubated with a ventilator, and died soon after. Doctors who reviewed her medical records say the child developed pneumonia in her lung. Steve Kirsch alleges she actually “died from medical malpractice: wrong antibiotic prescribed for pneumonia” while others like Prof. Jeffrey S Morris (a Professor of Public Health & Preventive Medicine) say “Measles caused the pneumonia that killed her… That's the most common mechanism by which measles kills”. 「 MEDICAL NOTE 」 The CDC states that the MMR vaccine is safe and effective.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Olivier Drouin from the University of Montreal, Canada. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Olivier Drouin. Dr Olivier Drouin is a Clinical Assistant Professor in both the Department of Paediatrics and Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at Université de Montréal. In the February podcast Olivier Drouin discusses his ongoing pilot randomized trial of a brief digital screening and intervention tool for parental and adolescents to address tobacco and electronic cigarette use, CanCEASE. This study takes place in paediatric medical care settings in Canada and is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Their pilot study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of the CEASE program for parental smoking cessation and its adapted version for adolescent smoking cessation and adolescent and parental vaping cessation. There is a strong need for effective and cost-effective smoking and vaping cessation interventions for parents and adolescents. If successful, this study will help inform the preparation of a fully powered randomized controlled trial of CEASE in Canada in these populations. Olivier Drouin discusses the importance of behavioural science in understanding the drivers of behaviour and health behaviour change, including the use of scientific method to understand rational and irrational behaviours, habit formation and the role of peer pressure and social norms.

Have you ever wondered how much your body is telling you—and what you might be missing? Could looking at one more metric from your wearable device, like  heart rate variability (HRV), unlock the secrets to better sleep, reduced stress, and improved overall health? In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes Dr. Torkil Færø, a GP, emergency physician, author of The Pulse Cure, and advocate for the transformative power of wearables in health optimization. Torkil shares his journey of exploring devices like Whoop and Garmin to uncover hidden stressors, track heart rate variability (HRV), and make meaningful lifestyle changes that dramatically improve health. From understanding the connection between HRV and chronic stress to identifying surprising factors like late-night meals and alcohol that impact sleep and recovery, this conversation dives deep into how wearables can enhance our understanding of the body. Dr. Færø also discusses HRV's role in improving PMS symptoms, offers actionable advice for boosting HRV, and explains why personalized data is key to unlocking better health. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [6:04] Dr. Færø explains why he began to focus on wearables[11:26] Humans can't sense our inner stress levels[14:55] Heart rate numbers are individual, and the connection between low heart rate and disease[23:34] Unexpected sources of stress and the sleep connection[29:21] How heart rate variability can improve PMS symptoms[32:45] Dr. Faero gives advice to see improvement in heart rate variabilityKEY TAKEAWAYS: HRV is a powerful tool for tracking stress and overall health. By using wearables to monitor HRV, individuals can learn how lifestyle choices—like diet, alcohol intake, and exercise—affect their bodies. A higher HRV typically reflects a restful, adaptive state, while a lower HRV may indicate chronic stress or other concerns. Notably, the focus is on individual patterns and baselines rather than comparing numbers with others, ensuring a personalized approach to health tracking.Wearables can uncover hidden stressors, like inflammatory foods or alcohol, that traditional medical training can overlook. By making informed changes, such as reducing alcohol intake, eating earlier dinners, and incorporating stress management techniques like breathwork or cold plunges. These tools serve as a modern extension of human senses, allowing users to “listen” to their bodies in ways evolution never equipped us for.Eating late or consuming alcohol can lower heart rate variability (HRV), resulting in less restorative sleep, even if total sleep hours are unchanged. To improve sleep quality, it's essential to wind down 1–2 hours before bedtime through calming activities like meditation, dimming lights, and avoiding late-night meals or alcohol. Additionally, keeping the bedroom cool (around 67–68°F) enhances sleep quality, as seen through wearable HRV data.Wearables provide insight into stress and health management. Devices like Whoop and Garmin track HRV, offering data on recovery, stress levels, and readiness for physical or mental exertion. This information can help prevent burnout by signaling when stress levels are unsustainable and encouraging proactive adjustments like yoga, better sleep habits, or dietary changes. For women, these wearables have even been used to manage PMS symptoms by identifying stress patterns and adjusting activities accordingly.QUOTES:         [7:02] “I understood that there was a metric called heart rate variability that could show and track these improvements. So if I did something good for my health, that will be revealed in the heart rate.” Dr. Færø[10:36] “Heart rate variability essentially shows the time between heartbeats. We want that number to be higher, right? When that number is higher, there's greater variability between those heartbeats, it's a sign of the body being in a restful state where it can adapt to whatever is coming at us.” Jenn Trepeck[12:28] “I think the piece that's really important for all of us is to recognize is the body can be in a stress response, even when we don't intellectually register stress.” - Jenn Trepeck[24:35] “Heart rate variability and sleep are intimately connected.” - Jenn Trepeck[35:20] “Breathe slowly; nobody will notice if you're in a meeting, or if you're on a phone call. Slow down your breath, and close your eyes so that throughout the day, you calm your nervous system down.” Dr. Færø[37:06] “It's only when you get sick, that's when your health depends on your wallet.” Dr. Færø"It's like you have a speedometer for your physiology." - Torkil FærøRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramSheMD WebsiteSheMD on SpotifySheMD on YouTubeGUEST RESOURCES:The Pulse Cure - WebsiteTorkil Faero - InstagramTorkil Faero - FacebookTorkil Faero - LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Torkil Færø is a GP, emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author, and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had a hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. He found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology using wearables. Færø is an award-winning photographer and author of The Camera Cure and has made TV films about his pilgrimages to Nidaros and Santiago de Compostela. An inveterate traveler, he has visited over 80 countries and speaks eight languages. He lives in Norway.

This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15. By conservative estimates, over half of Americans suffer from insulin resistance—a pathway that can lead to numerous chronic diseases. Fortunately, this is not a one-way street; we have the power to change course and protect our long-term health.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on the dangers of insulin resistance. Dhru sits down with Kristin Kirkpatrick and Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh to discuss an epidemic affecting one in four people: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its connection to insulin resistance. Kristin and Dr. Hanouneh highlight the most significant risk factors for fatty liver disease, including metabolic dysfunction and diabetes. They also delve into how ultra-processed foods, excessive sugar consumption, and sedentary lifestyles contribute to the rise in NAFLD cases. Additionally, Dr. Morgan Nolte explains why weight gain and insulin resistance are becoming more prevalent and shares actionable strategies to improve our relationship with insulin. She breaks down how insulin resistance changes as we age and emphasizes the transformative power of optimal fiber intake, quality sleep, stress reduction, and strength training in maintaining metabolic health and achieving an ideal weight. Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN, is a celebrated author, speaker, and accomplished dietitian with over 25 years of experience. She is a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine.  Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh, MD, is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist specializing in liver disease. He served as Chief Gastroenterology Fellow and associate staff at the Cleveland Clinic and later contributed his expertise to Minnesota Gastroenterology and Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Dr. Morgan Nolte is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. She recognized a need for preventative education and care that focuses on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms. That led her to focus on developing online courses and coaching programs that help adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Why we need to focus on insulin resistance (00:00:05)  Biggest warning signs of fatty liver disease (2:04) Role of the liver (6:48) The pathway that leads to fatty liver (9:53) Myths about fatty liver and the major culprit of fatty liver disease (13:12) How non-alcoholic fatty liver gets in the way of our long-term health and chronic inflammation (18:32) Why insulin is crucial (25:06) Why insulin resistance changes as we age (31:27) Toxic traits that damage mindset (39:31) Pillars of nutrition (46:00) Optimizing muscle mass for those in the healthy baseline (51:51) Importance of sleep on your appetite (55:46) Strength training and stress management for optimal insulin levels (1:02:51)  Also mentioned: Regenerative Health Book This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15.
