If you want to lose body fat and feel leaner and stronger, it's easier than you think. There's no single approach that works for everyone, but once the pieces are in place, the process isn't complicated. The real challenge is staying consistent.In this episode, I break down the essentials: the most effective combination of exercise and nutrition, the best workouts for fat loss, and the biggest mistake people make with food.The research is clear: cutting calories without changing activity leads to muscle loss, not just fat. And muscle is gold for your health. To protect it, you need a smart mix of strength training, cardio, and higher protein intake. I'll walk you through the evidence and show you exactly why this works.We'll cover two proven strategies:Calorie restriction paired with strength training, with progressive overload and consistency.Mixed exercise (strength plus cardio) with higher protein intake of 1.1–1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight.Both approaches work, but combining all three—strength, cardio, and nutrition—delivers the best results. From there, it's just fine-tuning.When it comes to strength training, almost any plan works if you stick to progression, volume, and smart exercise selection. But for women over 40, combining compound movements with single joint exercises is especially powerful, producing a stronger hormonal response and better results.The key is following a structured program week after week. Random workouts from social media won't cut it.On the nutrition side, fat loss requires a calorie deficit. You need to burn more than you consume. For most of my clients, that's just 300–500 calories per day. It doesn't mean cutting out favorite foods or going extreme. Balanced macronutrients make it easier and help reduce fatigue, cravings, and mood swings.One common pitfall is eating clean during the week, then loosening up too much on weekends. Even small surpluses can wipe out progress. Adopting a 7-day approach instead of a 5-day one changes everything. You can still enjoy weekends, but being intentional and consistent makes results come much faster.If this all feels overwhelming, you don't have to go it alone. Coaching can make the process simple and sustainable. And stay tuned—I'll be hosting a free three-day live workshop called Midlife Muscle Mastery this September.

In this episode of Impact Without Limits, Dale and Brian explore the axiom “Be Authentically Good,” unpacking what it means to live with genuine integrity rather than playing the role of a “good person” for personal gain. Through personal stories—ranging from used car shopping to unexpected moments on a job site—they reveal how authenticity builds trust and how people can often sense when someone's actions don't align with their true character. The brothers emphasize that people are always watching, and that living authentically not only simplifies life but also strengthens relationships and credibility over time.Episode Highlights: What does it mean to be authentic?The ‘used car salesman'.Reducing the tension.When you are ‘squeezed', what comes out?Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on ForeverLawn:www.foreverlawn.comImpact Without Limits Instagram: @impact_withoutlimitsForeverLawn's Instagram: @foreverlawnincGet Grass Without Limits HereVisit our show notes page HERESubscribe to Our Newsletter HEREDale's Instagram: @dalekarmieBrian's Instagram: @bkarmieThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

In this edition of Waste Not Want Not, resident Garbologist Bel Chellingworth unpacks the complexity and impact of food waste in Australia.

Troy Swift started farming at age 42, and has achieved incredible results using regenerative practices in his Texas pecan grove: increasing yields in certain varieties by up to 6X, while cutting nitrogen inputs by 97%, reducing insecticides, and eliminating herbicides.  Troy is a first-generation farmer from Central Texas who transitioned to pecan farming after a career in the composite jet engine industry. With a data-driven mindset from his manufacturing background, he now manages 126 acres of hybrid and native pecans along the San Marcos River and serves as president of the Texas Pecan Growers Association. Troy's 27 years of growing experience shape his innovative approach to regenerative agriculture. Since 2019, Troy has embraced regenerative practices: eliminating mowing and herbicides, and using wood chips and Johnson-Su bioreactors to boost soil health. His orchard serves as a research hub for institutions like the Noble Research Institute, providing data on soil, nut nutrition, and economics. Troy's work inspires farmers and bridges the gap between academia and agriculture. In this episode, John and Troy discuss: Troy's transition from the composite jet engine industry to becoming a first-generation pecan farmer Shifting to regenerative practices, including eliminating mowing Reducing nitrogen inputs from 80-100 pounds per acre to just 2.4 pounds Using bats for pest control and their impact on reducing insecticide use in pecan orchards The importance of data-driven farming, with insights from soil and leaf analyses showing increased nutrient availability Troy's leadership in fostering collaboration between farmers and academia to advance regenerative agriculture research Additional Resources To learn more about Troy and to purchase Swift River Pecans, please visit: https://www.swiftriverpecans.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Like all of us, healthcare providers bring their biases to work. But if those biases result in a reduced level of care for their patients, how can we correct them?  An innovative experiment in three very different countries attempted to reduce bias in contraceptive care for women. Zachary Wagner of USC and Manisha Shah of UC Berkeley were two of a multidisciplinary team that implemented program and evaluated the results. They talk to Tim Phillips about how biases shape contraceptive care, the methods that can help us to understand why they arise, and the challenges of creating a program that can work in different cultural and religious settings.

She has garnered appreciation for her analytical approach and commitment to empowering listeners to make informed health decisions. Episode Summary: Join Dr. Kristin Hieshetter as she delves into the critical connection between alcohol consumption and breast cancer on this episode of Functional Health Radio. As alcohol use remains prevalent, understanding its health implications becomes crucial, especially in light of emerging research. Dr. Kristin examines the cultural shifts in alcohol consumption and the heightened awareness about its potential risks, leading into an in-depth discussion based on recent medical findings. In this informative episode, Dr. Kristin highlights the sobering reality illustrated by recent studies, showcasing the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol consumption. From alcohol's biological impact on estrogen levels to its epidemiological connection to various cancers, listeners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the inherent health risks. Dr. Kristin also provides practical advice on reducing these risks, emphasizing mindful consumption and advocating for better dietary and lifestyle choices to mitigate cancer risks. Key Takeaways: Alcohol is widely consumed but poses significant health risks, including increased cancer risk, particularly breast cancer. Studies reveal that every 10-gram increase in alcohol consumption raises breast cancer risk significantly. Alcohol contributes to numerous cancer types, raising estrogen levels, which can exacerbate cancer risk, especially in post-menopausal women. Reducing alcohol intake can significantly lower cancer risk, encouraging more mindful drinking habits. Mocktails, like a raspberry basil concoction, provide healthy, antioxidant-rich alternatives to alcohol. Notable Quotes: "People are just using [alcohol] to medicate, right? Like, well, screw it. The virus is still here, and it's snowing again. I'm gonna have myself a beverage." "Alcohol causes three out of four of those genetic mutations. Scary, right?" "If there's anything you can do to prevent from ever needing cancer or chemotherapy, I want to be in your corner helping coach you through that process." "Be safe, everybody. Okay? So these different patterns of alcohol drinking may have different effects on breast cancer." "One beverage a day raises your risk 200%. Say it again. Have a beverage on a holiday. Have a beverage once a month." Resources: PubMed - Source of numerous studies including data on alcohol and cancer.

From forgotten virus scares to the dangers of manipulating Mother Nature, Dr. Kelly Victory warns that the real threat may come from human-engineered pathogens—and the unchecked ambitions behind them. She explains why gain-of-function research and reckless mRNA experimentation are more dangerous than advertised, despite the miracle-cure sales pitch. Is this technology a medical breakthrough—or a tool that could rewrite your biology with no off switch? From Robert Kennedy Jr.'s quiet defunding tactics to the alarming rise of “turbo cancers” in young people, this conversation exposes what's being hidden in plain sight. She also calls out the silence of so-called “experts” who were absent when it mattered most yet still repeat disproven narratives. Dr. Kelly takes aim at former Surgeon General Jerome Adams for parroting pandemic lies even after their own architects admitted they were wrong, and warns there's no reversing an mRNA shot once it's in you—though simple, evidence-based steps like new blood tests and targeted supplements can help reduce spike protein levels and protect long-term health. Shifting gears, she tackles one of America's most overlooked health crises—not about gym access or pricey diets, but mindsets, bad subsidies, and the choices we're encouraged to make. She explains why the U.S. is the only nation where poverty and obesity often go hand-in-hand, and why walking—free, simple, and accessible—might be the most underrated weapon against chronic disease. From using a backpack full of flour to safe, creative tweaks that add intensity without injury, Dr. Kelly strips away excuses and puts personal responsibility back in the spotlight. Backed by a massive global study, she debunks the “10,000 steps” myth, showing that even 7,000—or less—can slash the risk of cancer, heart disease, dementia, and early death. Could these small, achievable changes, combined with vigilance against dangerous scientific overreach, be the key to protecting your health before the next big scare hits?

Jake Ewing farms 1,300 acres of corn in Western Illinois, a relatively small operation compared to neighboring farms. Jake's farm has been shaped by the need to compete in a region dominated by large-scale commodity crop production, forcing him to rethink traditional approaches to corn farming, and developing a focus on innovative, cost-effective practices.  Jake's journey toward regenerative agriculture began with the purchase of a high-clearance sprayer, initially intended for conventional applications. This led to experiments with foliar fertilizers and reductions in herbicides and fungicides. His focus on soil health and plant nutrition has boosted yields to 275-285 bushels per acre, surpassing county averages while lowering costs. In this episode, John and Jake discuss: Reducing nitrogen applications to 160 pounds per acre, with only 100 pounds soil-applied, using foliar urea for efficiency. Foliar applications of manganese, copper, and cobalt to improve plant health and delay senescence, increasing yields. How foliar sprays in the evening with larger droplets enhance nutrient absorption by keeping solutions liquid longer. Eliminating insecticides and cutting fungicide use to a half-rate single pass, aiming for total elimination. How adequate manganese, copper, and zinc levels in sap tests reduce disease pressure, minimizing fungicide needs. About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

What if your doctor was the one who needed saving?In this eye-opening episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Dr. Darshan Shah, a surgeon, longevity expert, and founder of Next Health. After decades in medicine and a career spent helping others, Dr. Shah found himself battling chronic disease, obesity, depression, and burnout. But it wasn't pills or procedures that saved him. It was a radical shift toward root-cause healing and functional medicine. This episode dives deep into the science behind metabolic health, food and mood, hormones, inflammation, and even Alzheimer's prevention. If you've ever felt like your health was spiraling or your mind was foggy beyond repair, this conversation is your invitation to start again from a smarter, stronger, and more self-aware place.What's the Real Cause of Chronic Illness, and Can We Reverse It Without Medication?Dr. Shah explains why most health advice treats symptoms, not causes, and how root-cause medicine, nutrition, and tracking your biomarkers can change everything.(00:03:15) When the Doctor Becomes the Patient: Dr. Shah's Wake-Up CallAt 42, Dr. Shah was 50 pounds overweight, had high blood pressure, prediabetes, and depression — despite being a leading surgeon.He realized that traditional medicine taught him how to treat disease, but not how to prevent or reverse it.His journey into functional medicine began with uncovering the root causes of mental and physical illness.The experience made him rethink everything he thought he knew about health — and launched his mission to transform care from reactive to proactive.(00:11:05) Food, Mood & Metabolic Disease: What Your Grocery Cart Isn't Telling YouUltra-processed foods cause nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and metabolic chaos — and often trigger depression and anxiety.Reducing sugar and refined carbs (like bread, pasta, and pastries) is critical to brain and body health.Dr. Shah recommends key books:Good Energy by Dr. Casey MeansBrain Energy by Dr. Christopher PalmerGlucose Revolution by Jessie InchauspéMetabolic health is deeply connected to mental health — you can't treat one without addressing the other.(00:14:19) Hormones, Bloodwork & Becoming the Boss of Your Own BiologyMost doctors don't check thyroid, testosterone, or estrogen levels — even though these regulate nearly every cell in your body.Annual (or even quarterly) bloodwork is essential to catch changes before they become diagnoses.At home, you can track body composition with a bioimpedance scale and sleep/stress with wearables.Knowing your health data empowers you to take action before symptoms spiral.(00:18:44) Fitness for Longevity: Why “Exercise Snacks” Work Better Than the GymDr. Shah encourages 3–5 minute movement breaks throughout the day — called “exercise snacks” — to counteract sedentary behavior.Research shows that every 45 minutes of sitting increases your risk of disease.

This week we discuss dangers in the beauty industry.  From a client's perspective, the issues might not be as severe, but the clinicians who must deal with chemicals day in and day out are at a greater risk.  The average woman uses 12 different beauty products every day — cleansers, conditioners, hair dyes, fragrances, skin care products, scented lotions, nail polish, and makeup, to name a few. Take a quick glance at the labels, and you'll see a cocktail of chemical components. You might assume that all these ingredients have been tested to ensure that they're safe for long-term use. That's not the case. At least on the federal level, no one is checking to make sure that the chemicals you're putting on your body are harmless. "Products are tested to make sure they don't cause short-term problems, such as skin irritation. But they're not tested for long-term safety," says Dr. Kathryn M. Rexrode, associate professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Women's Health at Harvard Medical School. The FDA steps in only if people actually complain about a product because they suspect it harmed them. Prior to that, the onus is on the company alone. ​​"Just because it's on your shelf doesn't mean that it's safe," says Tamarra James-Todd, the Mark and Catherine Winkler Assistant Professor of Environmental Reproductive and Perinatal Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. With this in mind, women should take some time to consider what they're putting on their bodies each day and how it could potentially affect their health, she says. ​Hair dye and breast cancer There's reason for concern about many of the chemicals in popular personal care products on the market today. Case in point: a study published online Dec. 3, 2019, by the International Journal of Cancer found a link between hair dye and breast cancer. Women in the study who used permanent hair dye at least once in the 12-month period leading up to the study had a 9% higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who didn't use hair dye. And when the study authors broke the findings down by race, they found an even higher risk for African American women. Women in that group who used any permanent dye in the previous 12 months had a 45% higher risk of developing breast cancer compared with women who did not use hair dye. It didn't seem to matter how often or for how many years the women had used the dye. The findings were not surprising, says James-Todd. "We conducted a study a year ago in which we saw similar findings for hair dyes," she says. Some hair care products contain more than 5,000 chemicals, including some known to disrupt the body's natural hormone balance or to have cancer-causing effects in animals, according to study authors. Even so, studies looking at hair dyes in the past have been a mixed bag, with some finding links between health problems and dye use, and others finding no link. The differences found in more recent studies, says James-Todd, may be due to the fact that they are testing different products. Today's products use different chemicals than older formulations, which were not linked to health risks in some previous studies. ​Analyzing the study results Authors of the 2019 study drew on data from the Sister Study, which enrolled more than 50,000 women — the healthy sisters of women with breast cancer — ages 35 to 74. The study ran from 2003 to 2009 and used questionnaires, which were updated every three years. The surveys included questions about how often women used hair dye, as well as what colors and types of dye they used and whether it was permanent or semi-permanent. The study also used information gathered about other hair products, specifically chemicals used to straighten hair. The average follow-up period for the study was a little over eight years, and the current analysis included information gathered through 2016. The analysis also linked hair straightening products to a higher risk of breast cancer. These chemical products were associated with an 18% higher risk of breast cancer in women who used them in the 12 months before the study period. The more often women used straightener, the higher the risk. Women who used the products every five to eight weeks had a 31% higher risk of going on to develop breast cancer compared with nonusers. Although African American women in the study were more likely than others to use straighteners, the increase in breast cancer risk was similar for all races. There didn't appear to be an elevated breast cancer risk among women who used semi-permanent dyes, except among women who used the dyes at home. Researchers speculated this may be because they were more likely to get the dye on their skin, or to use the dyes in spaces that weren't well ventilated, leading them to breathe in higher amounts of chemicals. ​Change your beauty standard It may not be easy to let your hair go gray and to embrace your wrinkles, but it's a cultural shift women should consider. Being healthy is beautiful, and women should challenge the cultural standard of beauty. "It's about being comfortable with these changes and changing what's acceptable," says Tamarra James-Todd, assistant professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "We should start teaching our children, teaching the next generation, that you should embrace the different stages of your life and not try to alter that." ​Interpreting the study results It's important to note that all the participants in the 2019 hair dye study were deemed to have a high risk for breast cancer because their sisters had the disease. This means that the findings might not apply to the average population. However, because this particular study already focused on a group of women that were at high risk because of family history, it's likely that the additional elevated risk seen in African American women was not due to genetic factors, says James-Todd. It's more likely to reflect environmental factors, such as differences in the chemicals used in products typically marketed to these women, she says. In the past, scientists have found higher concentrations of problematic hormone-disrupting chemicals in products marketed to African American women, said study authors. In addition, they noted that breast cancer rates have been increasing in recent years among African American women, who are more often diagnosed with aggressive types of breast cancer and are more likely to die from the disease. ​What to take from the study So, does this mean that women should stop using hair color entirely? Dr. Rexrode says it's too soon to say. "Over all, I don't tell people never to dye their hair again based on this paper. But a 40% increased risk is large enough for concern," she says. So, the findings also shouldn't be ignored, and the topic warrants more study. For the average woman in the study (that is, one whose sister had breast cancer), exposure to hair dye increased her baseline risk of breast cancer, she says. While there are certain breast cancer risk factors that you can't control, such as your family history or how old you were when you started menstruating, you can choose your hair products and how often you use them. ​Reducing your chemical exposure While researchers continue to look into this issue, James-Todd and Dr. Rexrode say there are several steps you can take to reduce potential risks related to personal care products. Do your research. When choosing a product, look at the label to see what chemicals it contains, and determine if it's something you want to use. Organizations such as the nonprofit Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org) have analyzed many common products and provide information about potential safety concerns. The organization ranks some common beauty products on a scale from 1 to 10, from those generally thought to be safe to those that contain chemicals that raise more concerns, says James-Todd. "Find out as much as you can about what you are using," she says. ​Find safer alternatives. If products you are currently using contain potentially harmful chemicals, switch to a safer option if one is available. The nonprofit Silent Spring Institute has a smartphone app called Detox Me that you can use in the store to scan product barcodes. If a safer option is available, it will let you know. It also offers a Detox Me Action Kit, which allows you to send a urine sample to have your chemical exposure levels tested to get an idea of how your levels compare to others in the United States. The kit also gives you ideas on how to reduce your exposure. ​Be skeptical of product claims. Many companies are legitimately working to develop safer products, but some manufacturer claims are dubious. Many companies will remove chemicals that have been highlighted as problematic, such as bisphenol-A or phthalates (chemicals known to be endocrine disrupters, substances that mimic or suppress human hormones). But they may then replace those chemicals with ones that are equally problematic. So, the products aren't really safer, and in some cases, they may be even worse than the original, says James-Todd. Pare down. While it may be tempting to fill your bathroom shelves with all the latest lotions and potions, making more judicious choices may be a better option. Limiting your options to products you consider essential can reduce your exposure. "For example, I love perfume, but I don't wear it anymore," says James-Todd. ​Go natural. Many beauty treatments can be mixed up in your kitchen. Look online for recipes for natural skin and hair treatments. But be aware that some "natural" consumer products can also bring health risks. For example, essential oils are often recommended as an alternative to perfumes and fragrances. But some, in particular lavender and tea tree oils, have estrogenic properties that can pose some of the same health risks as their chemically laden counterparts, says James-Todd. Natural does not always mean safer. ​The bottom line: "Women should be thinking carefully about the products they use," says Dr. Rexrode. "And I think we should be demanding more information about their safety." ( Credits:  Harvard Health)

In this episode of Retire with Style, hosts Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau explore how to manage sequence of returns risk in retirement. They break down four key strategies: spending conservatively, staying flexible with spending, reducing investment volatility, and using buffer assets. The discussion also touches on how sequence risk can arise more than once—especially for early retirees—and how having a pension can affect your overall risk tolerance. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the value of starting retirement on solid footing and building a margin of safety into your plan.   Takeaways Sequence of returns risk is crucial for retirees. Four strategies to manage sequence of returns risk exist. Spending conservatively can mitigate risk. Flexible spending strategies can adapt to market conditions. Reducing investment volatility is essential for stability. Buffer assets provide a safety net during downturns. Early retirement years are particularly vulnerable to risk. A good start in retirement can set the tone for success. Pension income can change portfolio risk tolerance. Understanding personal risk preferences is key to financial planning.   Chapters 00:00Introduction to Sequence of Returns Risk 07:33Understanding the Four Strategies to Manage Risk 17:14Exploring Multiple Sequence of Returns Risks 19:30Portfolio Risk and Pension Considerations   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

Aniq Rahman, Founder and CEO of Fabric, a technology company that uses an AI-powered platform to support health systems, health plans, and employers, to streamline patient care, scheduling appointments, and receiving virtual care. The system can triage patients, route them to appropriate care, and simplify the provider workflows to improve operational efficiency, drive better patient outcomes, and reduce provider burnout. Fabric is taking an integrated approach to healthcare technology rather than offering individual point solutions in order to create a seamless experience for patients and providers. Aniq explains, "We started Fabric about four years ago now in 2021 in the midst of the pandemic. And we're a technology company fundamentally. So, Fabric builds technology. We work primarily with health systems, but also with health plans and employers, to really help bring together the care journey of a patient. So that's everything from helping a patient find care, triage their symptoms, get virtual care, and also help with things like scheduling appointments and follow-ups. So we've built really an end-to-end platform today that has AI at its core and is able to sort of route patients more appropriately and then also help improve the workflows of providers and create efficiency on the clinical side as well." "Yes, so one of the things that has been sort of core to the Fabric vision is figuring out ways to actually improve patient experience, provider experience, and operational throughput without it compromising any of those three buckets. And so one of the things that we've been fortunate to have is a virtual care platform that we actually acquired. We bought a company called Zipnosis back in 2023, and Zipnosis had built a pretty robust set of clinical protocols to help streamline the virtual urgent care visits effectively. So, say a patient's coming in with something like a pink eye or a urinary tract infection, or even just a cold or flu, we have protocols that allow patients to go through and answer a series of questions in an adaptive interview. And based on the patient responses, we can figure out if that patient needs to be seen in person or may need to get referred out to the emergency department."  #FabricHealth #MedAI #AI #DigitalAssistant #DigitalHealth #TriageEvaluation fabrichealth.com  Listen to the podcast here

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

My sleep also suffered, waking up in the night unable to fall back asleep even with magnesium/melatonin/breathwork. I had some leftover healthy belly, so began taking 2 morning and 2 night. Everything cleared up, my bowells were perfect , my mind was clearer, my body was calmer. I thought it was the mastic gum that had killed some h-pylori. About 7 days after stopping healthy belly, it all came back again. I've since done a parasite protocol which i had to stop 11 days before the end as I was feeling fatigued. I ran a stool test just before these symptoms and it showed citrabacter friundi. I'm unsure whether to do a parasite protocol again or run another stool test. Appreciate you                                                                                                                                             Tommy: Hello Stephen, I heard you mention that a certain percentage of folk (possibly with the APOE genotype if memory serves me correctly), experience more inflammation with a higher fat diet. Would it be worth running a generic test to refine my unique needs a bit more as I'm prone to inflammation? Obviously this comes after the basic big 5. And Would it also explain susceptibility to mycotoxins? Thankyou for all that you do             Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, What would you recommend to 59 or 60 year olds who are a pitta/vata body type and tend to be more catabolic when it comes to your DCD? Would you recommend to modify the 2 fasting days? Both my husband and I are generally ok during Day 1 of the fast, but Day 2 is always so difficult - my husband got bad headaches and because he had to work and focus, he ended up prematurely ending the DCD. I have gotten nausea and chills on Day 2, but the most difficult part for me is just really wanting to eat solid food. It also seems that my muscle tone is weakened afterwards. I know that muscle goes away much quicker when you are over the age of 50. Thanks for all your great podcasts- they are always so informative and I look forward to your response!                                 Kay:  Hi Dr. Cabral- Thanks for your awesome podcasts and the opportunity for us to ask you questions. I'm a 59 year old female and am in menopause. I never had cellulite on my arms and back of my upper thighs and glutes until I began taking HRT. Currently, I am on 1mg oral bioidentical estradiol bid and 100 mg oral progesterone qd at bedtime. I also recently began taking 5 mg DHEA (equilife) bid. I am at a good weight (5'2" 110) and do strength training 3 x per week and walk an average of 10k steps per day. I also have recently incorporated your dry brushing techniques and plan to switch to topical HRT sometime this year with the help of my medical provider. I am wondering what else I can do to eliminate the cellulite?                                                                                                                                                                Shelley: Hello, Dr. Cabral! I have recently gone on a health and wellness journey, going from 228 lbs down to now 167 pounds in just over a year. To aid in the process, of course exercise was a part of it. With the exercise came all the injuries of olde, but mainly my knee. I injured it back in my college years playing tennis and surgery wasn't recommended as they wanted to see if it would heal itself (torn meniscus, mostly in the vascular area). Well, fast forward more years than I care to count, and that residual tear on the avascular portion can be problematic. I have been looking into peptides, specifically BPC-157 and TB-500 to potentially help this knee without surgical intervention. What are your thoughts on peptide use (these two in particular) and do you think they might help my knee?           Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3467 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

One of the most exciting parts of any conference (shout out to BABAT!) is getting to see something new. And this week, we're bringing that something new to the podcast with a behavioral hypothesis as to how fame-seeking mass shooters develop behavioral repertoires that can lead to tragedy. We're excited to bring Dr. James Meindl's work in this area to our audience as an amazing example of how behavior analysis can be supportive in the treatment of socially relevant causes. We review what information exists in the prediction of mass shooting behavior, how many of the reported patterns may function behaviorally, and, most importantly, what this could mean in the prevention of mass shooter behaviors actually resulting in violence. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Meindl, J.N., Ivy, J.W, Delgado, D.M., & Swafford, L. (under review).

Story at-a-glance Linoleic acid (LA), once a trace nutrient in the human diet, now makes up as much as 25% of daily calories for many Americans, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and long-term metabolic stress LA transforms into harmful byproducts called OXLAMs that damage DNA, impair cellular energy production, and drive inflammation linked to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegeneration This polyunsaturated fat embeds in your body for years; it requires up to six years of low-LA eating to replace 95% of what's already stored in your tissues Common sources of LA include vegetable oils, processed foods, poultry, pork and even many products marketed as healthy, like organic nut butters and salad dressings Reducing your LA intake by eliminating vegetable oils and switching to stable animal fats gives your mitochondria a chance to recover and helps lower your chronic disease risk over time

With how unnaturally fast paced life is, social media notifications, neverending emails, letters in the mail to respond to, staying aware of all of the various toxins we're exposed to, dodging grifters online that just want to take your money and sell you their program, it is very easy to be chronically stressed. Practices such as turning off your notifications, putting your phone in airplane mode when you are walking in the forest, keeping do not disturb on all the time, carving time out of your day to not stare at screens, are some common strategies to reduce stress.  In this episode Dr Scott Sherr returns to the show to talk about: why its not just about healing your trauma, the mitochondrial harm that occurs with chronic stress, the role of GABA, how methylene blue supplementation can help, his thoughts on alcohol and cannabis, carbon dioxide therapy, and more.  Dr Scott Sherr's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/?hl=en Troscriptions products: https://www.troscriptions.com/?rfsn=3792577.b0695c My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by Nicholas Jimenez: https://spoti.fi/4cte2nD

Story at-a-glance People with the highest consumption of ultraprocessed foods had a 23% higher risk of developing psoriasis compared to those who ate the least, based on a 12-year study of 121,019 participants Replacing just 5% of UPFs with unprocessed foods lowered psoriasis risk by 14%, and replacing 20% dropped it by 18%, making this a powerful prevention strategy Seed oils and additives in UPFs fuel chronic inflammation and increase body mass index (BMI) — two factors that significantly raise your chances of developing autoimmune skin disorders like psoriasis If you're genetically at risk for psoriasis, eating a high-UPF diet increases your likelihood of developing the condition by 2.7 times compared to those with low genetic risk and low UPF intake Reducing seed oil intake and restoring vitamin D levels through safe sun exposure or supplementation helps repair immune function and strengthens your skin's natural defenses
