Understanding and Managing Heart Health: In this Heart Health Month episode of the Intelligent Medicine Podcast, nutritionist Leyla Muedin addresses a listener's question about elevated cholesterol levels and calcium scores. Drawing on an article written by Dr. Hoffman, she emphasizes the importance of discussing statin use with a doctor, considering individual risk factors, and getting additional tests like VAPs, NMR, homocysteine, and lipoprotein levels. The episode explores the importance of vitamins K2 and folate in cardiovascular health, addressing nutritional deficiencies, and the impact of dietary choices on heart health.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a closer look at the cholesterol conversation and the widespread use of statin medications through a functional health lens. Rather than relying on fear or headlines, he explores how cholesterol numbers are interpreted, the difference between risk markers and root causes, and why metabolic health, inflammation, and lifestyle factors may play a larger role in long-term heart wellness. Jared also explains concepts like absolute risk, number needed to treat (NNT), and why informed decision-making matters when evaluating any health strategy. This episode encourages listeners to ask better questions, seek clarity, and consider a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular health that includes nutrition, movement, and targeted supplementation. As always, this discussion is educational and designed to empower you with information so you can make the best decisions for your personal health journey.Products:N.O.

This episode was originally recorded as part of my Insulin Reset Facebook & Instagram LIVE series, where I go live weekly to teach the truth about insulin resistance, hormones, and metabolic health. In this powerful session, I unpack: The REAL reason your cholesterol and triglycerides are high How fatty liver actually develops (hint: it's not from eating fat) Why statins may lower numbers but don't solve the root issue The overlooked roles of insulin, chlorogenic acid, and liver overload How the Feel Great System (Unimate + Balance) can support your body in reversing these patterns naturally

Weight frustration in perimenopause isn't just about vanity—it's about a physiological shift that changes how our bodies handle fuel. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with midlife health expert Ann Konkoly to demystify GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Zepbound), the hidden dangers of visceral fat, and why the scale is often a "shitty measurement" for your actual health.In this episode, we discuss: The "Middle" Mystery: Why the "eat less, move more" mantra fails women in perimenopause and how this transition impacts weight maintenance. GLP-1s Beyond Weight Loss: Ann explains the metabolic benefits of these medications, including reducing neuroinflammation and protecting the heart and kidneys. The Hidden Danger of Visceral Fat: Why a "normal BMI" can be misleading and how internal fat affects your risk for chronic disease.

There's one truly helpful value on a standard cholesterol panel: triglycerides. Ironically, it's also the value most likely to be ignored or mismanaged because the doctor wastes your time by focusing on the useless total and LDL cholesterol values, having been brainwashed by the flawed science and pharmaceutical marketing. Here is WHY triglycerides are so important, HOW you can reduce your value to the very important level of 60 mg/dl or less without resorting to the use of any pharmaceuticals, only natural and dietary strategies. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the five most important lab tests that reveal how well your heart, brain, metabolism, and longevity systems are functioning. You'll learn why standard lab work often misses early warning signs. These markers help identify risk long before symptoms appear.   You'll see how fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and the triglyceride to HDL ratio expose whether your body is stuck in sugar burning or efficiently using fat for fuel. Dr. Jockers explains what optimal ranges actually mean. These labs paint a clear picture of metabolic health.   Homocysteine and C-reactive protein reflect inflammation, cardiovascular stress, and brain aging. Dr. Jockers explains how elevated levels connect to long-term disease risk.

Get my newest workshop replay, BRILLIANT - Understanding the Somatic Intelligence of Over- & Underfunctioning.Lindsey pulls back the curtain on two sets of her bloodwork (June 2024 → December 2025) to show how healing the nervous system — and lowering the total life load — changes measurable physiology. She explains why over-functioning isn't a personality trait; it's a survival physiology that drives inflammation, insulin, thyroid conservation, liver burden, and stress-lipid patterns. She walks through each lab marker in plain language, contrasts meds/supplements alone with nervous-system and lifestyle change, and shares the supportive protocol she used alongside big shifts in emotional, domestic, and relational load. She closes with how the BRILLIANT workshop and CRUCIBLE practice space fit into this work.Show notesBig ideasOver-functioning is physiology, not personality; your body keeps the score.You can't out-supplement or medicate chronic over-functioning; support helps, and change lands when load drops and safety increases.Low-threat, well-nourished, well-rested physiology shows up clearly in labs: inflammation, insulin, thyroid conversion, lipids, and liver enzymes all move toward safety.Lab highlights (June 2024 → December 2025)CRP (inflammation): 3.0 → 0.9 (≈ 66% drop; low-inflammation range)Fasting insulin: 17.7 (insulin-resistant) → 6 (insulin-sensitive)Thyroid: TSH 3.22 → 1.23; Free T4 0.81 → 1.15; Free T3 2.88 → 3.2 (robust conversion)Liver enzyme (ALT): 33 → 15 (burden eased)Triglycerides: 105 → 68LDL-C: 126 → 97DHEA: 58 → 48 (healthy downshift within the improved overall pattern)What changed besides the numbersLoad reduction: less emotional labor, less domestic/relational over-functioning, fewer sensory demands, more boundaries.Inputs: consistent eating (enough), deeper sleep, real rest, improved circulation/movement without overdrive.Result: cortisol normalized — inflammation down, insulin normalized, thyroid conversion improved, liver less burdened, hair loss reversed, energy steadier.Supportive protocol (alongside the lifestyle shift)NP Thyroid (desiccated), bioidentical progesterone (vaginal delivery), low-dose naltrexone 4.5 mg.Magnesium (glycinate + l-threonate), glycine (~ 3 g/day), vitamin D3 + K2.GLP-1 experience: brief full-dose trial (too suppressive) → discontinued; later micro-dosed retatrutide after nutrition and rest were restored.Who this episode helpsOver-functioners who “look fine” but see inflammation, insulin resistance, sluggish thyroid conversion, stressed liver enzymes, or stress-lipids.Under-functioner/over-functioner couples wanting physiology-and-practice-based next steps.Mentioned resources & linksPrevious episode for backstory — Episode 131: Listen on SpotifyLindsey's ebooks: When Rest Feels WrongWhen Action Feels WrongSupplements Lindsey uses/loves: Glycine supplementHemaplexD3 + K2Magnesium glycinateMagnesium l-threonateFree Video Series:Unfiltered Real Talk About OverfunctioningThe Underfunctioner's Wake-Up CallNotes & gentle disclaimerThis episode shares one person's labs, context, and protocol decisions.

In this episode of Wholistic Living, we're unpacking the truth about HbA1c, insulin resistance, and metabolic health, beyond just what you eat. You'll learn exactly what HbA1c measures, how insulin works on a cellular level to move glucose into your cells for ATP energy, and what happens when that process breaks down. We'll explore how stress, poor sleep, inflammation, toxins, and hormone imbalances all drive insulin resistance, even if your diet looks “clean.” I also share the most effective supplements for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting healthy HbA1c levels, including magnesium, inositol, berberine, fish oil, NAC, glycine, alpha-lipoic acid, and plant sterols and explain how each one helps your cells use glucose efficiently instead of storing it as fat. If you've ever struggled with blood sugar swings, fatigue after meals, high cholesterol, or stubborn weight gain, this episode connects the dots between glucose metabolism, hormones, and holistic healing.Join the 60 Day Gut Reset & Start When You're ready with $200 OFF! https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_4mzzdrn3?coupon_code=SECRETOFFEREquip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to health@holisticspring.com

Heart disease is still the number one killer in the U.S.—but are we even looking at the right markers to prevent it? In this eye-opening episode, Shana sits down with Dr. Urban Kiernan, founder and CEO of iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation, to break down what your lipid panel actually means, why total cholesterol and LDL often distract from the real risks, and how insulin resistance plays a central role in heart disease—especially during menopause. Dr. Kiernan shares how his biotech company is leveraging AI, protein therapy, and root-cause science to transform how we prevent and treat metabolic disease—and why most conventional approaches miss the mark entirely. If you've ever been confused by your labs, put on statins without a full explanation, or wondered why we're still seeing record rates of heart attacks and strokes, this conversation will bring clarity and direction.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Trish: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm a 55-year-old female working on lowering overall inflammation in my body. My CRP levels are (4.1), ApoB (118 nmol/L and Lipoprotein (A) (281 nmol/L) as you can see are high. Total Cholesterol 221 and Triglycerides are 70. I have a lot of stiffness with joint discomfort. I started taking 2 Proteolytic Enzymes upon waking. Then your DNS, D3/k2, Cell Boost, Inflamma Soothe, Collagen with GLP Tone System and some of your other products (eye and hair). I follow your Med diet. My pain and stiffness have improved ALOT in a matter of days. I'm going to retest my CRP and chol levels in 4 months. My question is how long can I take Proteolytic Enzymes and in your opinion am I taking the proper protocol for these issues? I'm retesting in 4 mos. Thank you in advance          Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you and all of your health family are well. I'm a surgical Processor and on my feet all day. I've tried all kinds of compression socks but by the end of the day, after taking it off, my leg are soo itchy! I scratch it sometimes so bad it starts to bleed. I'm only wearing the average 15-20 mmHG so its not too tight. I'm curious if you have a recommendation for compression socks that wont causes itching but is effective? Thanks in advance for answering!      Christina: Stephen, I have listened on one of your podcasts about Rheumatoid Arthritis and detoxing. My mother is in her early 70s and her fingers are twisting. I am 48 and recently the base of my thumbs have started bothering me. My question is, what detox protocol should my mother start with to prevent further twisting of her fingers and what detox protocol should I do to prevent this from happening to me? I would love to do the heavy metals and organic acid tests, but unfortunately I live in NY. Would my functional medicine doctor be able to order them for me? I have had HELLP, HUS, DIC, Guillian Barre, and Pulminary Edema in my pregnancy at 21. My son was delivered with no issues! At this time, we learned that I have ITTP. I have had IBS issues. Thank you, Christina                      Ryan: Hi dr cabral, Im a 29 year old male who has addisons disease, chronic post nasal drip, food intolerance's and teeth grinding a stool test confirmed klebsiella pneumonie overgrowth and blastocystis hominis as well as some yeast and fungus with no Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus detected, I recently started the cbo protocol with citricidal drops im 7 days in untill i came across one of your videos where you mentioned you should go for the parasite first should i stop the cbo protocol and start the para support protocol and then continue the cbo after or just continue the cbo protocol Thank you for your time wishing you all the best ryan.                                                                                                                                     Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I I love your podcasts and look forward to them every week. Anyway, I was wondering if you could please explain how a traumatic event could spur the onset of a "dis-ease" such as asthma. My daughter's asthma began shortly after her father and I were separated and he moved out of state. According to her pediatrician at the time, she was "more prone to having asthma because she also had eczema." This was 2 decades ago, and now she's 31 and we know more about autoimmune issues. Although she continues to carry an inhaler with her, she hardly needs to use it anymore. What would you recommend for a more root cause approach to someone with her condition?

Story at-a-glance A study found that vegetarians who ate plant-based fake meat are 42% more likely to experience depression than those who don't, even when factors like age, BMI, and lifestyle are taken into account Eating fake meat leads to higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation linked to chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders Triglycerides were elevated and HDL cholesterol was lower in those eating fake meat, increasing their long-term risk for cardiovascular disease The body reacts to fake meat not because of its nutrients, but because of ultraprocessed ingredients and additives that disrupt immune signaling and metabolic function Even when blood nutrient levels appear normal, the deeper immune system activity reveals that fake meat is pushing your body toward inflammation and oxidative stress

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:     Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!              Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!                                                                                                                            Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                                                                                                  Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                                                                                                                                Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall.
