A Note from James:So Dr. Oz—television personality turned government official—this is such an interesting thing. He's going to be the new administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS. He's going to be in charge of all Medicare and Medicaid. What does he know or think about these parts of our government?Medicare and Medicaid, combined with Social Security, make up the biggest part of government spending. So it'd be interesting to know what he thinks. On his show, he'd talk about everything from medicine to alternative medicine to other healing methods. I want to know how he's going to handle things in the government.This is a republishing of a past podcast I did with Dr. Oz, but it still describes his approach to medicine. And I think, as a citizen, this is useful. That's why I wanted to share it again. He's going to be working closely with RFK Jr. and Marty Makary (who's also been on this podcast and is now head of the FDA).So here's Dr. Oz.Episode Description:In this re-released conversation, James speaks with Dr. Mehmet Oz about his philosophy on medicine, self-care, and the critical role nutrition plays in overall well-being. As Dr. Oz steps into a major government role as the head of CMS, this episode offers valuable insight into the beliefs and strategies he may bring to one of the most powerful positions in U.S. healthcare.Together, they cover the power of second opinions, why most people misunderstand sugar, how gut bacteria drive health, and what it means to choose yourself when it comes to well-being. They also unpack highlights from Dr. Oz's book Food Can Fix It, including practical strategies for brain health, stress, and weight loss.What You'll Learn:Why second opinions can drastically change your medical outcomes.The connection between stress, sugar, and your brain's coping mechanisms.What to eat (and avoid) for long-term brain health and energy.How gut bacteria influence digestion, immunity, and mood.Dr. Oz's personal routine for energy, sleep, and productivity.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Dr. Oz's New Role in Government[01:00] Dr. Oz's Philosophy: Empowering Patients[02:45] The Power of Second Opinions[04:00] Behind the Book: Food Can Fix It[06:00] Parenting, Health, and Self-Sacrifice[07:30] Why We Stress Eat—and What to Do Instead[09:30] Fixing the Root Cause with Food[12:00] Brain Food and Omega-3 Fats[15:30] Antioxidants, Alcohol, and Wheat Brain[17:30] Why Sugar Without Fiber Is Dangerous[18:30] Juicing vs. Smoothies[19:30] Food Traditions, Rituals, and Healing[20:15] Using Food as Medicine for Pain[21:00] The Role of Gut Bacteria[23:30] Smart Weight Loss Strategies[26:30] Rethinking Dairy, Gluten, and Processed Foods[28:00] Eating for All-Day Energy[30:30] Daily Routine: Sleep Hygiene and Focus[33:00] Final Thoughts and Dr. Oz's Upcoming PodcastAdditional Resources:

Comments on autism by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are drawing fire from Pennsylvania representatives -- including two who are autistic themselves. A state lawmaker who has built a bipartisan coalition around food health and nutrition. Rep. Natalie Mihalek wants Pennsylvania to take on highly-processed foods and other health concerns. She's assembled a package of seven bills she’s calling Healthy PA. Presidents at several central Pennsylvania colleges and universities are among the 300 nationwide who have signed a statement condemning what they say are the Trump administration's unprecedented government overreach and political interference endangering American education and public research funding. By the end of June, creditors of a former Lancaster County-based drug and alcohol rehab center should be paid and its remaining Ephrata property should be sold. That’s what court-appointed receivers for Retreat Behavioral Health told a Lancaster County judge on Wednesday. Retreat closed abruptly last June following the suicides of its founder and chief administrative officers. The company was in debt for at least $30 million. The company that owned the railcar that caused the devastating East Palestine, Ohio train derailment in 2023 will NOT have to help pay for the $600 million dollar settlement Norfolk Southern agreed to with residents. An Ohio jury decided Wednesday that GATX isn't liable for the settlement, even though the failure of a bearing on its railcar carrying plastic pellets caused the pileup on Feb. 3, 2023.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello and welcome to this book on Ultra-Processed Food and Diabetes.There is increasing evidence of the impact of Ultra-processed foods on multiple metabolic and neurobiological pathways, including those involved in eating behaviors, both in animals and in humans.[1]For people on the run, ultra processed food may become their go-to diet, sacrificing nutrition for convenience. While it may be convenient, consuming ultraprocessed foods on a regular basis increases a person's risk of health complications including cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. But it can be hard to tell when these foods are on your plate.[2]A diet based on packaged products involves the consumption of small and repeated doses of food additives. At the end of the year, an average French adult ingests up to 10 kg. The calculation is worked out by French researchers in a study published in Scientific Reports[3]. [4] As we replace whole foods with manufactured processed versions, we're changing ourselves. · Watch the BBC video on YouTube – “UK doctor switches to 80% ULTRA-processed food diet for 30 days.” - https://youtu.be/T4PFt4czJw0This short video documents a UK doctor's 30-day diet switch to highly processed food. The commentary on his eating habits and the foods he consumes is illuminating. In the 30-day period, he gained weight and his body deteriorated significantly. Before and after MRI scans of his brain were compared revealing new connections in his brain, similar to those of people with addiction.It's time to dive into the world of Ultra-processed foods and uncover how they can cause inflammation in our bodies, impacting our health in the short and long term.Mark Ashford - information@markaashford.com[1] Agnes Ayton M.D. M.Med.Sc.

We talk about everything from cereal meant to prevent sinning to the low-fat diet craze, the war-time origins of shelf-stable food, and the engineering behind the foods that are hyper-palatable.We also get into the landmark NIH study that showed just how much processing—not just calories or macros—can influence how much we eat, how full we feel, and how our bodies respond to food. This episode is about helping you understand the systems at play, so you can make choices that support your health and performance without getting caught in fear or shame about the food you eat. Because when it comes to ultra-processed foods, context matters—especially for athletes.
Discussions around ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and their role in public health have gained significant traction in recent years. While some advocate for categorizing and regulating these foods due to their potential negative health effects, others argue that such classifications can oversimplify the issue and detract from more actionable dietary changes. In this episode, Dr. Duane Mellor, a registered dietitian and researcher, joins us to explore the complexities of the UPF debate. Rather than dismissing the concept outright, Dr. Mellor emphasizes the importance of nuanced discussion, bridging the gap between research findings and practical, evidence-based dietary guidance. Throughout this conversation, we unpack the broader implications of ultra-processed foods in the food system, consider how added fat, salt, and sugar contribute to public health challenges, and explore realistic approaches for dietary improvements. Guest Information Dr. Duane Mellor, PhD is a registered dietitian, academic researcher and science communicator. Dr. Mellor is currently working in clinical dietetics, working to support people, families and carers living with diabetes. Previously Dr. Mellor worked in medical education at Aston University, holding the position of Associate Dean for Public Engagement in the College of Health and Life Sciences. After initially working in the areas of clinical trials, Dr. Mellor's other research interests focused on improving nutrition and health by working with communities to celebrate their heritage through food and help tackle barriers resulting from societal inequalities.

This episode is part of our 7FL (7-figure lessons) series of Beyond A Million, where we interview entrepreneurs who are skyrocketing to the top! Could your food choices be the reason you're tired, foggy, and underperforming? In this episode of Beyond A Million, Brad sits down with Abel James, a multifaceted entrepreneur best known as the author of The Wild Diet and host of The Fat-Burning Man podcast. Abel started making money from music online as a teenager, before most people even realized the potential of the internet. But his path took a wild turn in his early 20s when, despite following his doctor's advice, he found himself overweight, exhausted, and wrecked. After a house fire destroyed everything he owned, he shifted his life and went deep into self-experimentation, flipping conventional nutrition on its head. What he found transformed his health and became the foundation of his entrepreneurial endeavors. Today, Abel is focused on investing, advising, and creative exploration—leveraging his experience to help others scale meaningfully, not just endlessly. If you want to take back control of your health and business, this episode is for you.

The modern food industry is built for profit, not health. Ultra-processed foods dominate grocery shelves, fueling the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and chronic disease. But how did we get here? And what can we do to fix it? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Michael Pollan, award-winning journalist and food activist, to break down the hidden forces shaping our food system and the urgent need for change. In this powerful conversation, you'll discover: How a handful of corporations control our entire food supply—and why that's a problem. The shocking truth about ultra-processed foods and how they're engineered to keep you hooked. Why our food system collapsed during the pandemic and what it revealed about its fragility. How food companies quietly buy up health brands and use misleading labels to keep consumers in the dark. The role of policy and lobbying in keeping unhealthy food cheap and widely available. Make sure to tune in—this is a conversation every American needs to hear.
