Traditionally people who are overweight have thought part of the reason was becasue they had a 'slow metabolism' but the truth is that many people who are overweight have a faster metabolism than those who are leaner because they carry more mass. So why does it feel that nothing works when you're trying to lose weight? Well its because your metabolism is adapting. So when you eat less for an extended period of time , your body seeks to protect you what it perceives as starvation, it reduces your energy expenditure and it increases your hunger hormones. In this episode we delve into weightloss, hormones and metabolism and I give you 5 sciencebacked strategies to get your metabolism working with you not against you. 1 Eat more protein 2 Resistance training 3 Stop chronically undereating 4 Move more5 Get better sleepThe dangers of high carbohyrate foods : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSKlhyEANfi8hZFoFoJun_lLhULcYg5JWWeightloss series : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSKlhyEANfi-pO3W2hejnDUsgMQ9GPvpZThe health benefits fo exercise : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSKlhyEANfi_vM1nbpcV-PlvWjSZ872ECOrder Happy Habits for Mind and Body Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3KeQmGrOrder Kindle copy of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4c9T38fOrder US paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4bxczeTOrder UK paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jtfea5Listen to all previous podcast episodes of the Happy Habit Podcast via these podcast platforms :Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/happy-habit-podcastAmazon https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Habit-Podcast/dp/B08K5887J8Amazon music : https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/670836c2-ea4c-4a23-a67d-a54dd804ef61/happy-habit-podcastSpotify https://https://open.spotify.com/show/2VKIhQK6mYTzLCO8haUoRdFollow the Happy Habit Podcast Website: https://happyhabitpodcast.wordpress.com/Music used is Purple planet Music crediit goes to them
Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions Gabapentin and Pregabalin Explained: Calming an Overactive Nervous System in Pain, RLS, Fibromyalgia, and SleepThe script explains gabapentinoids (gabapentin and pregabalin) as neuromodulators that “turn down” an overexcited central nervous system seen in central sensitization/nociplastic pain syndromes, helping conditions such as neuropathic pain, restless leg syndrome (RLS), fibromyalgia, anxiety, and sleep disruption. It clarifies they don't act on GABA receptors; instead they bind the alpha-2-delta-1 subunit on calcium channels, reducing calcium influx and release of excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamate, substance P, norepinephrine), lowering pain, restlessness, and anxiety. The script highlights guideline shifts making gabapentinoids first-line for chronic RLS due to minimal augmentation risk versus dopamine agonists, notes pregabalin's FDA approval for fibromyalgia (gabapentin used off-label), and emphasizes improved slow-wave sleep and restorative recovery. Practical guidance includes nighttime dosing, “start low and go slow” titration, side effects, off-label use, and the need for doctor supervision.00:00 Nervous System Overdrive01:41 Central Sensitization Explained03:52 What Are Gabapentinoids05:45 How They Work in Brain08:14 Restless Leg Syndrome Shift10:14 Fibromyalgia and FDA Approval12:05 Deep Sleep Healing Boost14:55 Nighttime Dosing Strategy17:04 Side Effects and Titration20:59 Off Label Uses and Kids22:49 Analogies and Key Takeaways24:51 Final Summary and Disclaimer Click here for the YouTube channel Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 29+ years as an MD.Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care.

Boundaries are not walls. They are intelligent, nervous system informed signals that protect your brain, support your body, and preserve your energy.In this episode, Heidi explores why boundaries are essential for mental health, emotional wellbeing, physical health, and long term resilience. You will discover how poor boundaries quietly dysregulate the nervous system, increase pain, fatigue, overwhelm, and emotional burnout and how embodied boundaries help restore safety, clarity, and vitality.This is not about willpower or saying no harder. It is about understanding how the brain and body respond to stress, pressure, and overstimulation and learning how to regulate from the inside out.

In this episode, I'm sharing a deeper look into what actually helps blood sugar heal - especially for those dealing with hypoglycemia, weight loss resistance, anxiety, and feeling stuck in “low-carb purgatory.”This conversation comes from a Blood Sugar Mastery coaching call, where we explore why healing often requires doing the opposite of what we've been taught: eating more often, slowing down, reducing restriction, and prioritizing safety in the body over control.I talk about why weight loss and hypoglycemia often clash, why forcing restriction can keep symptoms alive, and how the body only lets go of weight when it feels safe enough to do so.We also dive into the emotional and nervous-system side of metabolic health — how fear, urgency, and micromanagement can keep the body in a stress response, and why addressing the mind-body connection is essential for lasting healing.In This Episode, We Cover:Why hypoglycemia and weight loss often feel at odds with each otherHow eating more (not less) can be part of healing blood sugarWhy the body holds on to weight when it doesn't feel safeWhat “low-carb purgatory” is — and why it feels so awfulThe difference between fear-driven restriction and therapeutic ketosisWhy ketosis must be approached slowly and intentionally for hypoglycemicsHow macronutrient balance can support stable energy, mood, and sleepThe importance of minerals, digestion, and fat tolerance during healingHow fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing show up in chronic health issuesWhy micromanaging food, carbs, and protocols can increase stress instead of healingHow emotional safety and self-trust change the healing processWhy symptoms can sometimes be the body “speaking” or setting boundariesBook a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycall Enroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-mastery STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

Why do so many women start January motivated… only to fall off weeks later - year after year? In this episode, Johan breaks down why most New Year's resolutions fail, especially for women in their 30s through 50s - and what the small percentage of women who actually keep the weight off long-term do differently.This episode isn't about more motivation, stricter diets, or pushing harder. It's about systems, habits, realistic planning, and understanding your body after years of dieting, stress, and “all-or-nothing” cycles. If you've ever felt stuck, burned out, or frustrated that “doing everything right” still isn't working - this one is for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy motivation and willpower always fail — and what to rely on insteadThe biggest mistake women make when setting New Year's goals (and how to fix it)Why the scale stalling doesn't mean fat loss has stoppedHow chronic dieting, stress, and under-eating lead to metabolic adaptationWhy busy women often get better results than women with “more time”How to build non-negotiable systems around food, training, and sleepThe importance of 80% consistency — not perfectionWhat to do when life gets chaotic (backup plans, bounce-back plans, and identity-based habits)Why fat loss should be phased and periodized, not constantWhen eating more is actually the key to losing fat againHow reflection and self-awareness accelerate long-term successDM Johan the word 'QUIZ' on Instagram at @johanvesters_ocs (https://www.instagram.com/johanvesters_ocs/) to get a personalized roadmap with the exact steps to take going into 2026. --- Free gift for our listeners!

Feeling exhausted but also strangely amped up this holiday season? You're not alone. It's your nervous system trying to keep up with stress, sugar, alcohol, and disrupted sleep… and it's losing the battle.In this week's Chiropractic Is Se*y, Dr. Paula Ruffin (New Hudson, MI) and Dr. Erica Peabody (Fenton, MI) break down why so many people feel burned out, inflamed, anxious, foggy, or just “off” this time of year — and how chiropractic care helps restore calm, balance, and resilience.
Every so often, I have a conversation that stays with me long after the recording ends — not because it's dramatic, but because it quietly shifts how I understand the body and the brain. This episode is one of those conversations.Today on the Kick Sugar Coach Podcast, I'm talking with Dallin Hardy, a biochemist from Hardy Nutritionals, about something most of us were never taught: how deeply the brain and our mitochondria depend on micronutrients to function well, and what happens when those nutrients get depleted. (And best of all, how 60 peer-reviewed studies show we CAN replenish them. This interview will tell you how.)Dallin has a gift for translating complex biochemistry into everyday language. He shares the story behind their well-known formula, Daily Essential Nutrients, why researchers keep studying it, and what he sees every day working with people who are rebuilding their mental health from the inside out.Episode HighlightsWhat happens to energy (ATP) production when micronutrients are lowHow to dramatically improve mitochondrial function Why sugar depletes the body of needed nutrients and how to replenish themHow micronutrients can improve ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, stress, and sleepThe unexpected findings in pregnancy and infant developmentIf you've ever felt like your energy, focus, or emotional resilience wasn't matching the effort you're putting into your health… this episode offers a different way to look at it. Sometimes the body isn't malfunctioning. It's just missing what it needs. I think one graphic in particular, where Dallin details all the micronutrients needed to produce clean, efficient energy in our cells, will take your breath away. It did mine.*Click here to watch the slideshttps://youtu.be/5547H6I4WYQ?si=ojtSyd4JHBOcx6dDEnjoyed this episode?

Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, MD Key Takeaways Optimal exercise balance: Excessive exercise, especially beyond 150 minutes of moderate or 70 minutes of high-intensity activity per week, may increase inflammation and riskModerate daily movement (like walking) combined with super-slow resistance training is ideal for health Diet trends and protein: Extreme dieting, such as excessive intermittent fasting, ketogenic diets, or fear of carbohydrates, is often unnecessaryA balanced combination of low-carb days with higher evening carbohydrate intake promotes glycemic stabilityPrioritize clean, high-quality protein at about 1g per pound of bodyweight, favoring animal sources (with nose-to-tail consumption and collagen), and be cautious with plant proteins due to digestibility concernsAnti-aging and recovery approaches: Techniques such as micro-needling, red light therapy, peptide serums, and even salmon DNA serum are highlighted for youthful skinCost-free hacks like barefoot walking outdoors in sunlight and breathwork can deliver impressive benefits for inflammation and sleepThe power of community & spiritual health: Social connection is described as the most powerful “biohack” for longevity and well-being, rivaling the impact of major risk factors like smokingMeaningful relationships and a sense of spiritual or higher purpose are crucial for emotional and biological healthThe 5 Core Principles for Longevity: Ben Greenfield's main advice centers on balanced movement, clean eating, exposure to hot and cold, taking care of one's personal environment (air, water, light, electricity), and prioritizing community and spiritual life as the foundation for lasting health and happinessRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIt's been five years since Ben Greenfield joined me on The Dr. Hyman Show, and a lot has changed.
