We know that people who have underlying metabolic dysfunction, such as type 2 diabetes or obesity, are at a higher risk of developing complications and poor outcomes from COVID-19. When it comes down to the root of what's causing our underlying susceptibility to this virus, the topic of immunometabolism cannot be overlooked. The growing field of immunometabolism refers to the complex relationship between the immune system and metabolism.  Since the immune system and the metabolism are so closely linked, one of the best things we can do to support the function of our immune system is to optimize our metabolism through cultivating healthy habits. For instance, getting quality sleep, strength training, and eating in a way that optimizes blood sugar can support your metabolism, and in turn strengthen your immune system's defenses. One of the most prominent voices in the space of immunometabolism and COVID-19 is Dr. Tyna Moore.  Dr. Tyna Moore is a board-certified naturopathic doctor and chiropractic physician. With nearly three decades of experience practicing medicine, Dr. Moore is passionate about teaching folks how to build resilient bodies and take responsibility for their health. This episode contains powerful insights on COVID-19 susceptibility, taking charge of your wellness, and why basic lifestyle changes can have the biggest impact on your overall health.

If we want things to change, we have to become aware, educated, and empowered.  This episode of The Model Health Show contains important conversations on healthcare policy, education, treatments, and how our healthcare system works, and who it benefits. My intent is to have an open conversation, free from divisiveness and politics. If we can look at things rationally and objectively, that's how we can create change. Most importantly, I hope this information arms you with empowerment and a reminder of how capable you are to take control of your own health.  In this episode you'll discover: How many Americans have diabetes or prediabetes, and what the main treatment is.

At twenty years old Shawn Stevenson was diagnosed with a degenerative disc and bone disease his doctors said could not be helped. He accepted his diagnosis until his grandmother convinced him he had to fight for his future. Inspired, he decided to learn everything there is to know about human health, and what he discovered about food changed his life. Today Shawn is author of the USA Today National bestselling book Eat Smarter and the international bestseller Sleep Smarter. In this vital episode of “Evolving With Coach Mike” he shares his incredible journey from helplessness to empowered self-healer. Along the way Shawn cleans up misinformation created by product marketing and identifies what nutritional deficiencies we face, what foods damage our DNA, impair cognitive performance and cause weight gain. He shares key parts of his successful effort to overcome the poisonous “nocebo effect” on his state of mind that can follow a negative diagnosis, and then clearly redefines what health is and is not.   Shawn is also creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the #1 health podcast in the U.S. with millions of listener downloads each year. A graduate of the University of Missouri–St. Louis, Shawn studied business, biology, and nutritional science and became the cofounder of the Advanced Integrative Health Alliance.

If we lose the ability and right to speak, ask questions, to think for ourselves, to have sovereignty over our bodies and lives... we are on a precarious path indeed. With more of us obese, overweight and diseased than ever before, it's the very governments and corporations silencing us and ordering us around that got us here in the first place. As we're being told what to believe, many of us are being censored, shadowbanned, or even de-platformed - apparently just for thinking for ourselves. How many times do governments, politicians and mega corporations have to exploit us before we get a clue? If you look at history, you can see where this goes, and it's not pretty. So we have a spicy episode for you here today.

What do we actually know about virus transmissibility, the efficacy of face masks, and the implications of wearing a face covering? It turns out, it takes a lot of work to get to the bottom of what the data truly says. Articles circulating on social media are often misleading—omitting critical pieces of information to sway your opinion one way or another.  That’s why I decided to dig deep into the studies, examine the data with an open mind, and share my findings with you. In my new documentary, Mask Facts: The Science and History of Masks in Medicine, I looked through the science in order to get a clearer picture of how viruses and masks actually interact in the real world.  And on today’s show, you’re going to hear even more of the clinical evidence on mask efficacy. You’ll learn about how popular studies ignore real-world conditions and provide inadequate data, how to eliminate any self-serving biases when looking at the facts, and how to approach the COVID-19 pandemic with logic and reason. I hope this episode encourages you to be proactive and unbiased when presented with new information. Enjoy!   In this episode you’ll discover: The history of wearing masks.  What the miasmatic theory of disease is.  How viruses actually operate. What percentage of the human genome is comprised of viruses.  How small a virus actually is.  The efficacy of surgical masks vs. cloth masks.  How a face mask can create a false sense of security.  Why studies can often be misleading and assumptive.  The true efficacy of an N95 respirator mask.   What the data shows about wearing masks during pregnancy.  The link between wearing a face mask and headaches.  Why we should question the mandates set forth for the school year.  The truth behind why surgeons wear masks.  How to overcome a self-serving bias and cherry-picking data.  What the World Health Organization actually says about mask efficacy.  Items mentioned in this episode include: Themodelhealthshow.com/maskfacts -- Watch the documentary!

Most people are aware of the basic physical contributors to health, like a well-rounded diet, a good night’s rest, and regular exercise. But we also have psychological needs that play a significant role in our overall wellness—and having a sense of purpose is at the top of the list. Emerging science shows that having a life purpose is associated with better health and a longer lifespan.  But there’s a huge misconception about what it means to have a life purpose. Having meaning in your life isn’t necessarily the result of divine intervention or some sort of lifelong cosmic mission. No one assigns you a purpose—you choose it. You get to take the initiative and decide where you plan to place your intention. Another misconception about purpose is that it only gets one overall defining purpose. The truth is, your purpose can and will change over your lifetime. At certain stages of life, your purpose can be as simple as being kind to every person you meet or committing to being more present in your relationships. Today we’re going to dig into the science behind how having a purpose improves your health. I’ll also share my personal experience with finding and changing my own life mission, and you’ll hear a compilation of some of the best advice we’ve had on the Model Health Show surrounding uncovering your purpose and creating meaning in your life. This particular topic has been on my heart recently. I sincerely hope something in this episode will resonate with you so that you can tap into your unique life purpose and create change in your life. Enjoy!  In this episode you’ll discover: The surprising link between lack of purpose and cardiovascular disease. How your health and your purpose are interconnected.  The main barriers that block you from finding your purpose.  How my personal mission has evolved over time.  What it means to have intention deficit disorder. How setting boundaries can help you discover your purpose.  The power of a random act of kindness. Why taking the focus off yourself can help you become more connected. How to identify your unique gifts. Why comparison can stop you from identifying your purpose. The link between having passion and mental health.  How social media can block you from understanding your value.  The power of forgiveness to open possibilities. Why it’s so important to have a mission and a focus.  What to do if you are unsure of your mission. Why not sharing your gifts can limit and agonize you.

“There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others.” – George Shinn  As a former lone wolf, the idea that I needed others to make an impact was a hard pill to swallow. But it’s true—it takes a team of people utilizing their unique strengths, solid communication, and a shared goal to make great things happen. This is the case whether we’re talking about creating a podcast, raising children, starting a business, or building a strong and successful marriage.  Our relationships are the most impactful thing on our health, happiness, and overall success—and they can take a lot of work. While it’s easy to place blame on others and put a magnifying glass on their shortcomings, that isn’t necessarily productive. But what can really make an impact on how your relationships function is to better understand yourself and your strengths. Once you have a better grasp on who you are, you can master your reactions and use your talents to be more productive and efficient in your roles.  In his new book, You Ain’t the Boss of Me, Dr. Eric “ET” Thomas shares how to empower yourself by uncovering your unique superpowers. Dr. Thomas is here with us today to share the critical takeaways and mindset shifts that can occur when you have a better understanding of who you are at your core. You’ll learn powerful lessons on how to manage your approaches and expectations, how uncovering your gifts and talents can help you thrive in all aspects of your life, and so many more profound insights. Enjoy this interview with the one and only Dr. Eric Thomas!  In this episode you’ll discover: What it’s like to build a healthy marriage without a frame of reference. How understanding your personality type can help you master your relationships. The importance of being aware of your body language. What it means to be on the hunt in your relationship.  Why it’s critical to understand the appropriate time to use your strengths. How studying your personality can help you succeed.  Why using your talents is like boiling an egg.  What superheroes and villains have in common.  How to better interpret other people’s resistance.  Why relationships are like puzzles. How to teach your children about persistence and responsibility. Why asking how you can be of service can help you build wealth. The importance of putting out positive energy.  How giving away your gifts is like planting a seed.  Why money and mindset are interlinked.

It’s no secret, there’s a lot of confusion out there about what to eat. One day a popular article states the numerous health benefits of coconut oil, and the next day it’s labeled as poison. And while it’s true that sometimes the science changes, that’s rarely what’s going on here. It’s important that we understand where these studies come from, who is funding them, and why they’re being promoted. Vani Hari, also known as the Food Babe, has advocated for not only herself, but all of us by challenging food companies and organizations and holding them accountable for their actions. Today, she is here to share information from her new book, Feeding You Lies.Vani is discussing the details behind how nutrition research is manipulated, and how the food industry generates fake information. I hope this episode inspires you to become your own advocate for your health, and to understand where your food comes from. More importantly, I hope Vani’s story reminds you to never underestimate your power to cultivate change in the world. So click play, and enjoy! In this episode you’ll discover: The difference between fast food in the US and overseas. How the food industry is similar to the tobacco industry. Which two manufacturersuse the most sugar in their products. How diet soda triggers cravings and contributes to weight gain. What cellulose is, and how it is used in popular grocery items.

Becoming empowered is a process of gaining knowledge, and then putting it into action. When I started my career in the health field, my intent was to empower people with the tools to help them reach their goals—whether that be losing body fat or reversing disease. I’ve been fortunate enough to serve countless people in my clinical work and in the gym. But stepping up and putting a show out there for the public at large has really been a game-changer on so many levels. It’s taken that reach from the thousands to the millions.

If you were to type in your search engine, “how to lose fat,” I bet you’d find a lot of articles emphasizing the importance of diet and exercise. Undoubtedly, those two components play a major role in changing your body composition. But there’s a huge piece of the puzzle that is missing from common knowledge—sleep. If you really dig into the science, you’ll find that your sleep quality plays a more important role in fat loss than diet and exercise! However, this information has not (yet!) made its way into our culture. Sleep isn’t part of the conversation, because it is seemingly less actionable than meal prepping or putting in work in the gym. In this episode, my mission is to help you understand the importance of sleep for your body, hormones, and overall fitness. I’ll share facts and strategies about regulating hormone levels, and how sleep influences the body’s basic mechanisms (including the brain and gut!) You’ll learn four actionable steps you can take to enhance your sleep quality, and in turn improve your body. In this episode you’ll discover: How sleep quality is affected by your hormone function. Why our culture devalues the importance of sleep. How to take responsibility for your sleep routine. Why utilizing a sleep aid is a temporary solution for insomnia. The difference between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. How sleep deprivation can influence your metabolic systems. Which type of fat is the most dangerous, and how it relates to sleep deprivation. The importance of melatonin and the two factors that help regulate your levels. Why environmental darkness is crucial for deep sleep. The role of Human Growth Hormone in the body (and how it relates to sleep!) What factor is the biggest epigenetic triggerfor your aging process. The shocking effects of sleep debt on the thyroid gland. How a lack of sleep can diminish your willpower. The three main (destructive) ways the body reacts when we are under stress. In what part of the body the majority of melatonin is produced. The importance of cortisol managementfor overall health. The incredible link between gut health and sleep quality. How probiotics and prebiotics work together in the gut. An essential list of sleep-supporting nutrientsto incorporate in your diet. The danger of antibiotic overuse on the body’s ecosystem.

It’s important to have goals, but being fixated on the end result can actually be a huge obstacle to your overall success. Whether you’re trying to top a personal record at the gym, or drop some pounds before a vacation, there will frequently be times that you will fall short. And that’s okay, because it’s part of the process that forges greatness. If you can flip the switch in your mind to become process-oriented instead of results-oriented, a whole new world of joy and success will open up for you. How you react in those difficult moments can be a powerful testimony to your strength. If you accept defeat and stop moving toward your goal, you will have gained nothing. But if you can understand that hardship is simply part of the process, you’ll come out stronger on the other end. Success isn’t strictly about results. Part of the journey is embracing the process and gaining experience along the way. Our guest for today’s show is Jeff Bercovici, journalist, athlete, and author of the mind-blowing book, Play On. He is sharing his insights and extensive research from his new book, including what makes longtime professional athletes successful, and the keys to quick recovery. Jeff has put in the work to help you implement the strategies (and science!) necessary to perform at a higher level for years to come. In this episode you’ll discover: The scientifically proven benefits of massage therapy. The difference between strength and power. Which function of our muscles decline first with age (and how to keep it stronger, longer!). The intriguing science behind antagonist muscle activation. How exercise can work as a virtual fountain of youth. The surprising way exercise affects your brain’s gray matter. How balancing freshness and fitnesscan maximize your performance. What muscular compensations are (and how they can lead to injury). The incredible emergent technology behind calculating injury risk. How one NBA coach changed the paradigm around rest and recovery. What proprioception is, and how it can help you prevent injuries. The psychological and physiological traits that elite older athletes have in common. The profound impact of high intensity interval training(and how it relates to longevity). What chunking is and how it can speed up your mental processing. Why learning to love the processand experiencing joy leads to greatness. The incredible benefits of being process-oriented.

Billions of dollars have already been spent on cancer research. But it’s shocking to me how little effort has been invested in teaching our society the basics of cancer prevention. What if there were SIMPLE lifestyle changes that were clinically proven to reduce your risk of various cancers by over 50 percent? Wouldn’t that justify a couple million dollars in promotion? I think so. Benjamin Franklin said it best, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” But the money and attention is on the backend… in drugs and other treatments for cancer that have startlingly low long-term success rates. Today I’m advocating that we remove the veil from cancer, and stand up to reduce the rates of cancer even showing up in the first place! This episode is filled with practical, actionable advice that can serve you and your family for a lifetime. Check it out now, and please make sure to share it with those you care about. In this episode you'll discover: Why immersion is so significant in transforming our health (and life overall). Which food is proven to protect your body from abnormal gene mutations. Why it’s important to demystify cancer, and what cancer actually is. What role your immune system plays in cancer prevention. What carcinogens are. What causes gene mutations. Which group of vegetables has the most profound cancer protection benefits. How many servings of vegetables to target each day for optimal cancer prevention. Which vegetables can actually INCREASE your risk of cancer. The surprising truth about cell phone radiationand it’s official rank as a carcinogen. How cell phone radiation is potentially impacting your myelin sheath. How cell phone radiation can influence your brain waves during sleep (this is nuts!). The shocking connection between working the overnight shift and cancer. The two conditions that must be met in order to produce adequate melatonin.

What does prosperity mean to you? For many of us, when we hear the word prosperity, we tend to think in terms of finances… but it is really so much more than that. William Shakespeare said, “Prosperity’s the very bond of love.” It’s what holds us together. Prosperity is the glue that enables us to grow and evolve on so many different levels. And a little secret to remember is that prosperity is developed from the inside out and from the outside in. As you’ll discover today, the prosperity of our planet and our communities has a huge impact on your own personal prosperity. Plus, you’ll get to see how simple changes in your mindset and personal choices can deeply impact the rest of the world in a real way. New York Times bestselling author and filmmaker Dr. Pedram Shojai is here to shed some light on the dark places in our lives, and help lift us to a new level of prosperity. It’s literally a guarantee if you take action on what you learn today. The power is in your hands to affect change in the world in more ways than you know. So, tune in, take good notes, and enjoy! In this episode you'll discover: What literally creates every cell in your body (something we overlook all the time!). How a type of fungus is helping to deal with one of the world’s largest pollution problems. Why using film is a powerful, and necessary means to eliminate some of our toughest problems. How popular media is preying on our perceived weaknesses. Why where you choose to bank can help solve some of our environmental and social issues. How the work you do can be undermining your health. What it means to adjust your daily burn-rate. How conscious companies that are bought by traditional big businesses start to “infect their hosts”. How organic gardening can actually help alleviate our global warming crisis. Why we’re constantly trading time, money and energy in our lives. Why fair-trade, organic brands currently have a shelf space disadvantage. What prosperity really means. What important questions you need to ask yourself when creating a life of prosperity. Why everything you do has a wake behind it. How to start moving past scarcity consciousness. How connecting to your “why” gives you a whole new level of commitment and execution.
