In this episode, David joins for his third appearance on The Drive to bring clarity to one of the most contentious topics in modern nutrition—protein. He explores the historical pattern of demonizing macronutrients, the origins and limitations of the RDA for protein, and what the evidence really says about higher protein intake, muscle protein synthesis, and whether concerns about harm are supported by actual data. He also discusses the challenges of conducting rigorous nutrition studies, including the limits of epidemiology and crossover designs, as well as conflicts of interest in nutrition science and why transparency around data, methods, and logic matter more than funding sources. The episode closes with a discussion on processed and ultra-processed foods, the public health challenges of tackling obesity, and whether future solutions may depend more on drugs like GLP-1 agonists or broader societal changes. This is part one of a two-part deep dive on protein, setting the stage for next week's conversation with Rhonda Patrick. We discuss: The cyclical pattern of demonizing different macronutrients in nutrition and why protein has recently become the latest target of controversy [3:15]; The origin and limits of the protein RDA: from survival thresholds to modern optimization [6:30]; Trust vs. trustworthiness: why data, methods, and logic matter more than motives in science [13:30]; The challenges of nutrition science: methodological limits, emotional bias, and the path to honest progress [17:15]; Why the protein RDA is largely inadequate for most people, and the lack of human evidence that high protein intake is harmful [30:30]; Understanding the dose-response curve for muscle protein synthesis as protein intake increases [45:15]; Why nutrition trials are chronically underpowered due to weak economic incentives, and how this skews evidence quality and perceptions of conflict [48:15]; The limitations and biases of nutrition epidemiology, and the potential role of AI-assisted review to improve it [56:15]; The lack of compelling evidence of harm with higher protein intake, and why we should shift away from assuming danger [1:04:15]; Pragmatic targets for protein intake [1:09:30]; Defining processed and ultra-processed foods and whether they are inherently harmful [1:16:15]; The search for a guiding principle of what's healthy to eat: simple heuristics vs. judging foods by their molecular composition [1:25:00]; Why conventional public health interventions for obesity have largely failed [1:38:15]; Two ideas from David for addressing the metabolic health problem in society [1:42:30]; The potential of GLP-1 agonists to play a large role in public health [1:46:30]; and More.

Let's get real for a minute: Are you still feeling hangry, cranky, and wiped out all too often, even while doing your best to eat clean and healthy? I've been right where you are - frustrated and exhausted - until I realized I was missing balance with one super important thing: protein.And yes, I know you've heard a million times that protein matters. But what if you're still not getting it right, even when you think you are? I was making the same mistake for years. That's why I made this episode: to share exactly where I went wrong and what finally worked (spoiler: it's not just eating more chicken breast).Here's what I'll break down for you:The real reason you need way more protein than you think (and nope, it will not make you bulky)The easy protein goal that can balance your blood sugar and totally crush those cravingsThe one simple, often-overlooked protein source that can seriously help your digestion (hint: it's probably already in your kitchen)No complicated science, just a 20-minute, girlfriend-to-girlfriend chat that could honestly change how you feel all day long.

Have you ever felt a surge of anger or anxiety so suddenly it almost scared you? Like that moment when a simple request from your child suddenly sends a wave of frustration through you. We've all been in that place, and the guilt that follows is just as heavy.I had a deeply comforting conversation with Misty McFadden about this exact struggle. As a mom of four, she spoke openly about her own journey through seasons of anxiety and feeling completely overwhelmed by her emotions. She opened up about how, even with strong faith, there were times when everything felt overwhelming, and it was hard to keep going.In our talk, we walked through some of the most helpful perspectives she's learned:Why "I don't know why I'm so angry!" is usually a lie we tell ourselvesHer super simple "brain dump" trick that stops the mental spin cycle in under two minutesHow our emotions and our faith are totally meant to work together, and what it really means to "guard your heart"This is one of those chats that makes you feel normal and gives you a real, tangible next step. No magic pills, just compassion and practical ideas. If you're feeling a little frayed around the edges lately, press play now. I think you'll really love this one. CONNECT WITH MISTYNEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

You know those times when you're eating well and doing your best, but something still feels off: you're dragging through the afternoon, snapping at your kids, or your period won't get on a schedule.I can't tell you how many women come to me with that same story: no processed food in the house, meals that look healthy, but deep down their hormones are struggling. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three big mistakes I see most often when women are eating clean but still not feeling results. From undereating without realizing it, to self-sabotaging habits, to cutting out food groups that your body actually needs, you'll see why your healthy diet might not be nourishing your hormones at all.You'll learn:01:28 Why undernourishment is the most common mistake women make06:31 How self-sabotage shows up in little daily habits 16:51 Why cutting out whole food groups often backfiresThis isn't about obsessively tracking every bite or hopping on another elimination diet. It's about finally understanding what your body is asking for, and how to feed it in a way that feels doable, and actually supports hormone health.Tune in now because the sooner you spot these mistakes, the sooner you can make simple shifts that move the needle for your hormones and your life.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

#171  - No Filler, No Filter: The Truth About Face Yoga and Facial Aging Is it possible to tone and lift your face without fillers, surgery, or a drawer full of pricey serums? According to face yoga experts—and growing research—it just might be. In this episode of Pretty Well, we're diving into what face yoga actually is, how it works, and why it's being called the natural alternative to injectables. I break down the science behind aging skin, fascia, and facial muscle atrophy (it wasn't going to happen to us, I know), and how regular facial exercises may support lymphatic drainage, collagen production, circulation, and that elusive youthful glow. We'll also talk about what face yoga can't fix—and what foundational habits actually make the biggest difference in skin health (great news: it's not another serum). Plus, I share the underrated clinical pearl I've been using on my own skin with surprisingly great results. If you love natural beauty, anti-aging strategies, and simple habits that make a real difference, you'll love this episode. Tune in—and maybe even snap a few “before” photos.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has maintained his role at the center of neuroscience and longevity conversations these past few days, with several noteworthy appearances and developments drawing industry and public attention. Most significant is his upcoming participation in the Vibrant Longevity Summit 2025, a by-application-only event set for late September at the Omni Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas. The summit is described by Newswire and AccessNewswire as a gathering of global leaders shaping the future of longevity clinics, with Dr. Huberman joined by heavyweights like Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Rhonda Patrick. The summit focuses on translating cutting-edge science into tangible clinical protocols, emphasizing not just lifespan but the quality and strength of those added years. The science tracks will highlight recent advances in areas such as neurology, gut health, and cardio longevity, domains closely linked to Huberman's research. His presence signals that he remains one of the most influential voices shaping the clinical frontier of longevity.Dr. Huberman's media footprint is also active. The Huberman Lab podcast recently welcomed legendary climber Alex Honnold, with new episodes dissecting the neuroscience of goal setting, risk, training, and mental resilience. Both transcripts and full episodes are dropping, drawing large audiences and premium subscribers via his lab's newsletter, which now reportedly reaches over 800,000 subscribers. His daily routines and science-backed protocols for productivity and well-being have continued to circulate widely among those seeking actionable brain and body optimization tips.News outlets in India such as the Times of India and Times Now have been buzzing with Dr. Huberman's most viral advice this week: the “physiological sigh,” a science-backed breathing technique to relieve stress within seconds. From mainstream wellness blogs to viral posts, this breathing method—rooted in sleep physiology—is being hailed as an instant strategy to sidestep panic and reduce anxiety. Huberman's research in this area, and a recent Stanford Medicine study he co-authored, are pointed to as key scientific validations.On social media, Huberman's name has appeared among high-profile followers of communication coach Jefferson Fisher, whose library event and viral book launch cite Huberman as one of the thought leaders engaging with content on how to improve conversational skills and real-world diplomacy.While there are rumors circulating about his expanding partnership opportunities in supplements or new book deals, no major announcement has surfaced in reputable outlets this week. His podcast remains a beacon for hot neuroscience topics, including caffeine and its effects on performance, which Men's Journal revisited in a widely read Q and A, but nothing earth-shattering new was disclosed there.Overall, with leading roles at upcoming summits, an expanding digital audience, and fresh scientific techniques going viral, Andrew Huberman remains a force at the intersection of brain science and practical health optimization—his every move playing out across both clinical settings and your newsfeed. This week's headlines place him not just in lectures and labs but deep inside the fast-evolving field of how to live better, longer, and stronger.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Nutrients are far more than supplements on a shelf—they are life-sustaining molecules that determine how well the body ages and resists disease. For years, their importance was overlooked because many studies were poorly designed, failing to consider existing nutrient levels or how vitamins and minerals work together. Strong evidence now shows multivitamins can slow brain aging, omega-3s can extend life expectancy, and shortages of vitamin D, magnesium, and B12 are widespread drivers of inflammation and chronic illness. Knowing and addressing individual deficiencies is critical, as these nutrients power billions of chemical reactions every second and are foundational to vitality and longevity. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Steve Martocci, why nutrients are essential for a healthy body and how to choose the highest quality supplements. Dr. Rhonda Patrick is a scientist and health educator recognized for her leadership in aging and disease prevention. As the founder of FoundMyFitness, she provides evidence-based insights to a global audience through her website and podcast. On YouTube, she engages millions in in-depth discussions on evidence-based strategies for well-being. Dr. Patrick's focus areas include genetic influences in dietary response, micronutrients, sleep, non-pharmacological approaches to mental well-being, and the surprising and paradoxical benefits of biological stressors such as exercise, heat, cold exposure, and plant phytochemicals. As an associate scientist and board member at the Fatty Acid Research Institute, she advances understanding of omega-3 fatty acids in aging and health. Her research has been published in high-impact journals like Nature Cell Biology, Experimental Gerontology, and FASEB. Steve Martocci is the co-founder and CEO of Suppco, a smart supplement tracking platform helping people take the right supplements with confidence. After years of struggling with his health and hitting 300 pounds, Steve turned to functional medicine and supplements to reclaim his well-being. That personal transformation—and the confusion he faced along the way—inspired him to build Suppco. Suppco helps users track what they're taking, avoid unnecessary or low-quality products, and personalize their supplement routine with tools like brand TrustScores, protocol guides, and stack analysis.

#170  - You're Not Weak—You're Biochemically Wired to Crave Sugar (Here's How to Break Free and Take Back Your Health) Ever wonder why quitting sugar feels harder than giving up coffee, carbs... or your will to live? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Mike Collins—founder of SugarAddiction.com and known as “The Sugar Free Man”—to unpack the hidden ways sugar addiction is wrecking your gut health, hormones, brain chemistry, and mood. We dive into how sugar hijacks your biochemistry, fuels inflammation, disrupts hormonal balance, and keeps your body stuck in a vicious cycle of cravings, fatigue, and blood sugar crashes. Mike shares how early childhood sugar exposure, emotional eating patterns, and even “healthy” foods are quietly feeding the addiction—and why going sugar-free isn't about willpower, it's about rewiring your brain. If you've ever said, “I'm fine, I just have a sweet tooth,” while polishing off a bag of “organic” cookies, this one's for you. Because it's not about giving up joy—it's about taking your health (and your energy) back. Your mitochondria will thank you.   Mike's Website: https://sugaraddiction.com/ Social:  https://www.facebook.com/QuitSugarNow https://www.youtube.com/@SugarAddiction https://www.facebook.com/groups/sugardetox.sugaraddiction.supportgoup https://twitter.com/Sugar_Free_Man https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mike-collins-57a5628a/  Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!When Dr. Baland Jalal experienced his first episode of sleep paralysis as a teenager in Copenhagen, he felt a demonic presence choking him in his bed - an experience so terrifying and real that it launched him into a 20-year quest to understand the brain. What he discovered will blow your mind: the cultural stories we tell ourselves about these experiences literally reshape how our brains process them. In Egypt, where people believe sleep paralysis is caused by evil genies, sufferers experience episodes three times more frequently than in Denmark, where it's viewed as just brain stress. This isn't just about sleep - it's about how the meaning we assign to our experiences becomes our reality. You'll walk away understanding how your brain creates your sense of self and how you can rewire it for greatness.Dr. Jalal's online Peterson Academy courses:Intro to NeuroscienceThe Neuroscience of DreamsIn this episode you will:Discover the four-step meditation technique that reduces sleep paralysis episodes by 50% and why relaxation beats resistance every timeTransform your understanding of how cultural beliefs literally rewire your brain's response to fear and create your lived experienceBreak through limiting self-images by understanding how your brain hates incongruencies and fills gaps with stories - and how to make those stories empoweringUnlock neuroplasticity secrets that keep your brain growing until you die, including why new experiences are brain fertilizerMaster the difference between spiritual truth and scientific truth, and why both can coexist in creating a meaningful lifeFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1815For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Rahul Jandial – greatness.lnk.to/1603SCDr. Rhonda Patrick  – greatness.lnk.to/1707SCEckhart Tolle – greatness.lnk.to/1463SC Get more from Lewis!

#169  - When Medicine Can't Explain Your Symptoms: The Deep Stress-Trauma Link Your Doctor Is Missing with Neuroplastic Expert, David Clarke, MD What if your chronic symptoms aren't just “in your body”… but are being generated by your brain? In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm sitting down with Dr. David Clarke, MD—author, speaker, and president of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms—to dive into a game-changing topic most doctors aren't even talking about: how stress, trauma, and repressed emotions can drive real, physical illness. We're breaking down what neuroplastic symptoms are, how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) silently program your health later in life, and why you might feel terrible even when your lab tests are “normal.” (Fun fact: the brain can cause real pain, gut issues, migraines, and autoimmune symptoms—and no, it's not "just in your head.") You'll learn why understanding the mind-body connection isn't about blaming yourself—it's about finally getting real answers that actually lead to healing. If you're tired of dead-end doctor visits, bandaid treatments, and feeling like a medical mystery, this episode might be the lightbulb moment you've been waiting for. Because healing isn't just possible—it might be closer than you think. LInks & Resources: Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

#168 - Better Than Botox? 9 Science-Proven Ways to Slow Aging at the Mitochondrial Cellular Level   If your energy is tanked, your skin looks older, and your brain feels like it's buffering—don't blame age, blame your mitochondria. In fact, mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging.    In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm breaking down how these tiny powerhouses inside your cells control everything from how you age to how well you think, move, and recover. We'll cover 9 evidence-based ways to protect your mitochondria and even boost mitochondrial biogenesis (fancy for “make more of the good stuff”) so that you can slow and even reverse signs of aging. From red light therapy and fasting options to targeted nutrients and why your mitochondria love colorful veggies more than you do—this is the anti-aging roadmap you actually want to follow. No gimmicks, no $400 serums. Just real tools to feel younger, stronger, and sharper from the inside out. Because aging is inevitable—but doing it tired, inflamed, and foggy is not.

#167  - Unlocking the Surprising Roadblock to Your Healing: Revolutionary Insights Linking Trauma to Unresolved Illness with Miriam Jacobson​ What does unresolved trauma have to do with your nagging health symptoms? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Miriam Jacobson, a triple board-certified functional medicine dietitian and founder of Every Body Bliss. Miriam shares her story of losing her father in 9/11 to being poisoned by pollutants from the Twin Towers falling to surviving breast cancer.    Not only does she know firsthand how unresolved trauma resides in our body as a roadblock to healing, but her journey uniquely equips her to help others move forward in their health and live their best, most joyful lives.    Miriam integrates nutritional therapy, mindset coaching, somatic treatment, and breathwork to address the root causes of 'mystery symptoms' like gut problems, chronic fatigue, and mood imbalances that don't seem to get better even with all of the right steps. Find out why Miriam says “Rest is an action”.   We delve into the gut-brain connection, the impact of trauma on physical health, and why you deserve a fully personalized approach that can be a game changer in your wellness. If you've been spinning your wheels with conventional (and functional medicine) approaches and suspect there's more to the story, this conversation offers fresh insights and practical strategies to help you feel more alive in your body.

#166  - Beyond Functional Medicine: Why Most Health Experts Can't Help Complex Chronic Illnesses with Mel Hopper Koppelman   What if your chronic complex health issues aren't about needing more supplements or a new practitioner… but from a nervous system that's been stuck in survival mode since childhood? In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm joined by Mel Hopper Koppelman—an expert in neurological healing who's helping patients finally get better after functional medicine has failed.  We talk about the overlooked role of retained primitive reflexes, how childhood stress rewires adult health, and why your gut might still be leaky decades later (hint: it started long before gluten showed up). Mel breaks down why some people never fully heal from chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, mold toxicity, and even trauma—and what to do about it. You'll learn about the Cell Danger Response, what it means to truly “regulate your nervous system,” and why green smoothies might not be doing you any favors. Mel also unpacks in detail the 4 Stage Process of Recovering from Complex Chronic Health Issues.  If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things and still not getting better, this episode might flip everything you thought you knew about healing.   Connect with Mel: Website https://essays.synthesishealth.co/mel-hopper-koppelman/ Social https://www.instagram.com/synthesishealth.co/  https://www.facebook.com/melkoppelmanacupuncture    Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

#165  - 6 Shocking Triggers of Leaky Gut and Autoimmunity You're Probably Missing (and How to Heal Them) If you've been told your gut issues are “just stress” or “no big deal,” pull up a chair—we're about to get real. In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm breaking down the six sneaky root causes of leaky gut and autoimmunity that most people (and honestly, most doctors) completely miss. From gluten sensitivity and candida to parasites, SIBO, and nutrient deficiencies, we'll dig into what's actually going wrong under the hood—and why your immune system isn't misfiring. Facts: Leaky gut isn't just a GI issue—it's the ignition switch for autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, skin disorders, and more. We'll uncover the 3 Legged Stool of Autoimmunity and how to remove 1 or 2 of the legs to find real healing. You'll learn how gut permeability, microbiome imbalances, and chronic inflammation quietly fuel autoimmune disease—and more importantly, what you can do about it. If you're tired of symptom-chasing and ready to get ahead of autoimmunity at the root level, this episode is your blueprint. Because you deserve more than just managing symptoms—you deserve to get real answers and actually heal.   Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

#164  -  The Sex Docs Speak: What Your Hormones, Libido & Labs Are Actually Trying Tell You   Think your “normal” labs are telling the full story? Think again. In this episode of The Pretty Well Podcast, I'm joined by the brilliant (and hilariously direct) Dr. Cristina Romero-Bosch and Dr. John Robinson—aka The Sex Docs—for a no-holds-barred look at what's really going on in women's bodies in midlife. We break down the symptoms most doctors brush off—think fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, brain fog, and “just getting older” (insert eye roll).   Oh, and if you're on the pill or ever have been? You'll definitely want to hear how it can mess with your gut microbiome, immune function, and sex drive—sometimes long after you've stopped taking it.   They also explain why your poop is basically a hormone status report and what your sex life can reveal about your health. If you're ready to stop settling for feeling “meh” and start getting real answers, this episode is your hormone-fueled wake-up call.   Amazon LInks & Resources: *As An Amazon Associate I Earn A Small Commission From Qualifying Purchases At No Extra Cost To You*   Recommended Book:  Blind Spots - When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health https://amzn.to/3XQW4FL   Connect with Drs.

#163  - Do You Need An Oil Change? Udo Erasmus (from Udo's Choice) Says You Do. You've seen Udo's Choice supplements in virtually every health store —but do you know why these powerhouse oils are essential for your health (and why they're either making or breaking your health)?  In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Udo Erasmus—founder of Udo's Choice oils, 40 year pioneer in the healthy oils movement, and author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill. Udo shares how modern food prep is silently fueling everything from chronic inflammation to hormone disruption to cancer development—and what to do instead. During our conversation, we talk about: the truth behind healthy fats; the oils that are powerfully wrecking your health; and why your body literally needs an oil change. We dive into omega-3s, omega-6s, and the nasty processing practices that turn "healthy" seed oils into full-blown poisons.  We also explore detox strategies, new biohacks to sweat out fat-soluble toxins, oil enemas (yep, you read that right), and how to stop frying your health—literally and figuratively. If you're worn out, achy, or wondering why your “healthy” diet still isn't working, this episode might be your wake-up call. Because the truth is: the right oils don't just support your wellbeing—they make it or break it, and in the meantime, help you to look and feel amazing, inside and out.

Dealing with fibroids and feeling stuck between surgery and suffering?You've tried to ignore it—the heavy periods, bloating, and pelvic pressure that make you dread your cycle. But deep down, you sense something isn't right, and the answers you've received so far? They don't seem to help.Maybe you've been offered birth control or an IUD, or even told that surgery is your only option. But no one has paused to ask why your body is developing fibroids in the first place or how your liver, gut, stress, and hormones are all linked in this.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Luciana Silva, a naturopathic doctor who's just as passionate as I am about getting to the root of hormonal issues, especially fibroids. We break down what fibroids are, what causes them, and how to approach healing in a way that addresses the root.You'll learn:Why fibroids grow, and what your heavy bleeding is telling youWhat to consider before saying yes to surgery or hormonal IUDsNatural options for symptom relief and long-term healingIf you're tired of feeling dismissed, this episode will show you what's possible when you start addressing the deeper layers.Book a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meCONNECT WITH DR.

#162  - 3 Year ANNIVERSARY EPISODE! Stop Blaming Your Age: Fix Your Hormones By Fixing Your Gut OR Can't Balance Your Hormones? Your Gut Might Be the Culprit (Here's How to Heal It) Having trouble balancing your hormones? You've probably heard that hormones run the show—but what if your gut is the one actually calling the shots? In this special Pretty Well anniversary episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how gut health holds the keys to hormonal balance, energy, metabolism, and all of your anti-aging efforts. We'll dive into the estrobolome (your gut's hidden estrogen manager), the gut-thyroid connection, and how leaky gut quietly sabotages your hormones and leaves you wondering why "doing everything right" still isn't working. You'll learn how chronic inflammation, microbiome diversity, stress, and gut permeability directly impact everything from perimenopause symptoms to thyroid function. And no—you don't need a cabinet full of supplements or to live on a diet of chia seeds (unless you're into that). If you're ready for real strategies to heal your gut, balance your hormones, and actually feel human again, this episode is your roadmap. Because it's not just your hormones that need fixing—it's the whole communication network. Let's fix the signal, shall we?

Have you ever been told your heavy bleeding, mood swings, acne, or exhaustion are just part of having a period?But deep down, you know something's off. And you're right!Many of us have been gaslit by doctors, by friends, even our own mothers, into believing that pain, fatigue, bloating, and mood swings are simply the price we pay for being a woman. But the truth is: your cycle is your body's monthly report card. And it's trying to tell you something.In this episode, I'm talking about what a truly healthy period looks like, because most women were never taught. I'll walk you through:What your bleeding pattern (color, flow, and length) says about your estrogen and progesteroneWhy period pain isn't something you have to live with (even if you've been diagnosed with endo or fibroids)How stable energy, clear skin, and a calm mood are possible when your hormones are in syncTap play and let's redefine what “normal” really means—for your body, your cycle, and your peace.Book a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?
