In this episode of Peak Human, Brian Sanders sits down with physician, athlete, and author Dr. Jaime Seeman to discuss what it really takes to become "hard to kill." Dr. Seeman is a practicing OB-GYN, former Mrs. Nebraska, competitive athlete, and metabolic health advocate. After struggling with her own metabolic issues, including prediabetes and hypothyroidism, she transformed her health through diet, strength training, and lifestyle changes. Together, Brian and Dr. Seeman explore how metabolic dysfunction develops, why muscle is one of the most powerful tools for longevity, and why focusing on nutrients instead of calories may be the key to fixing modern health problems. They also dive into women's metabolic health, perimenopause, visceral fat, and the role of diet evolution—from ketogenic to carnivore to a flexible real-food approach. This conversation breaks down the science of human nutrition and performance while offering practical strategies for living stronger, longer, and healthier.   Show Notes 04:00 – Why modern medicine focuses on treatment instead of prevention 07:00 – The growing movement for metabolic health 11:00 – Diet tribes vs. real food 12:00 – Dr. Seeman's personal metabolic health journey 15:00 – Keto, carnivore, and evolving diets 18:00 – The Sapien lifestyle: eating like humans evolved to eat 20:00 – Women's hormones, carbs, and the menstrual cycle 23:00 – Fasted training and metabolic flexibility 27:00 – Nutrient density vs calorie counting 31:00 – Muscle: the most overlooked organ in medicine 33:00 – Visceral fat and hidden metabolic disease 35:00 – Beauty and nutrition 42:00 – C-sections, childbirth, and the infant microbiome   BEEF TALLOW PRODUCTS: NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post    Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg

Gashadokuro - Born from the bones of those who died from starvation and left unburied, the Gashadokuro are massive skeletal yokai that tower fifteen to ninety feet tall, hunting humans in the dead of night with an insatiable hunger that can never be satisfied. Their approach is heralded by the sound of rattling bones—gachi gachi gachi—and their victims are crushed, devoured, and sometimes absorbed into the creature's ever-growing skeletal form.   freakyfolklore.com   #Gashadokuro #JapaneseFolklore #Yokai #FreakyFolklore #JapaneseHorror #StarvingSkeletons #BodyHorror CONTENT WARNING This episode of Freaky Folklore contains disturbing content that may not be suitable for all listeners, including: Extreme body horror and gore Graphic descriptions of cannibalism and consumption Descriptions of mass starvation and death Visceral violence and dismemberment Descriptions of mass graves and historical atrocities Listener discretion is strongly advised.

You can be thin, active, and still carry dangerous visceral fat around your organs. Unlike subcutaneous fat you can pinch, visceral fat is hidden deep in the abdomen and strongly linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and early mortality. More cardio is not always the answer. Visceral fat is hormonally driven and protected by insulin and cortisol. Chronic stress and long-duration cardio can actually increase cortisol, making it harder to lose stubborn belly fat. In this episode, Ben shares a simple strategy: 25 squats twice per day. Squats activate the largest muscle groups in the body, improve insulin sensitivity, and stimulate GLUT-4 transporters to pull glucose out of the bloodstream and into muscles. Lower insulin levels mean less protection for visceral fat. You'll learn: The difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat Why cortisol promotes abdominal fat storage How muscle contraction sends a fat-burning signal Why resistance training is crucial after age 45 What to expect in the first days and weeks Simple squat modifications for all fitness levels Why stacking nutrition, sleep, and recovery matters The squat is the ignition.The lifestyle stack determines the acceleration. Ben also shares details about his 14-Day Metabolic Reset and a free 7-day drug-free belly fat protocol to help you lower insulin, preserve muscle, and reclaim metabolic control. Remember: You are not trying harder. You are sending the right signal.

Visceral fat is in the news and the buzz word used by many fitness influencers these days who make outlandish claims stating that uts possible for you to rid your body of visceral fat in 30 days , but is this true? Visceral fat is the dangerous fat that lies around your organs. Part of its danger stems from the fact that its not visible, you can be slim on the outside while still having high levels of visceral fat on the inside. And why is viscera fat dangerous ? because it can increase systemic inflammation, it can increase your risk of insulin resistance and even some certain kinds of cancer. In this video I detail some basic steps you can take to burn visceral fat and I mention research studies that outline exactly how long it will take to make substantial changes to your visceral fat levels.

In this podcast episode, an in-depth discussion is provided on the drug Telmisartan, commonly used for lowering blood pressure. The host elaborates on how it belongs to a class of medications known as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and stands out due to its 24-hour half-life and partial PPAR-gamma agonist activity.  The episode explores Telmisartan's potential benefits for longevity, including its properties that reduce cardiovascular mortality, renal decline, and metabolic issues. It also compares Telmisartan with other ARBs and addresses its unique ability to improve myocardial efficiency, reduce arterial stiffness, and support neuroprotection. Detailed explanations are given on technical concepts such as pulse pressure and its relevance to arterial compliance, and the necessity to consult a doctor before taking the medication is emphasized.   Telmisartan / ARBs (main topic) Telmisartan — MedlinePlus drug info: https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601249.html Blood pressure meds overview (includes ARBs): https://medlineplus.gov/bloodpressuremedicines.html Key mechanisms mentioned PPARγ (PPARG) — NCBI Gene: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/5468 Endothelium + nitric oxide (NO) — NCBI Bookshelf: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK534266/ Angiotensin / aldosterone / "fight-or-flight" Aldosterone test — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/aldosterone-test/ Sympathetic nervous system ("fight-or-flight") — Cleveland Clinic explainer: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23262-sympathetic-nervous-system-sns-fight-or-flight Lab tests mentioned in the episode Fasting insulin ("Insulin in Blood") — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/insulin-in-blood/ Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hemoglobin-a1c-hba1c-test/ C-reactive protein (CRP) — MedlinePlus lab test: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/c-reactive-protein-crp-test/ Arterial stiffness / pulse pressure (longevity framing) Pulse pressure & arterial stiffness as risk predictors — PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11224702/ Visceral fat resource mentioned Dr. Sean O'Mara website: https://drseanomara.com/   Show Notes   00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast. 01:22 Understanding Angiotensin and Its Effects 02:14 How ARBs Work and Their Benefits 03:00 Unique Properties of Telmisartan 03:36 Comparing Telmisartan with Other ARBs 04:44 Telmisartan's Impact on Endurance and Fat Loss 05:59 Telmisartan and Cardiovascular Health 09:57 Blood Pressure Basics and Pulse Pressure 18:54 Telmisartan's Role in Longevity and Dosing 27:28 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Angela addresses the common misconception that a slowed metabolism is the primary cause of weight gain during midlife, particularly for women experiencing menopause. Instead, the focus is on the impact of visceral fat and insulin exposure, which can lead to stubborn belly fat.  Angela episode outlines five actionable levers to combat these issues, including increasing daily movement, prioritising resistance training, strategically using high-intensity interval training (HIIT), choosing fibrous whole food carbohydrates, and improving sleep and stress resilience WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Insulin Exposure: Elevated insulin levels throughout the day hinder the body's ability to mobilise stored fat. Improving insulin sensitivity is crucial for effective fat loss, particularly around the abdomen. Five Effective Levers: To combat midlife belly fat, focus on five key strategies: Break up long periods of sitting and increase daily movement. Prioritise resistance training three times a week. Use high-intensity interval training (HIIT) strategically. Choose fibrous whole food carbohydrates instead of cutting carbs entirely. Improve sleep quality and manage stress to enhance metabolic health. Personalised Approach: The most effective strategy for reducing belly fat varies for each individual. Factors such as sleep disruption, stress load, glucose swings, and training intensity should be considered TIMESTAMPS [00:01:35] Visceral fat and health risks. [00:04:24] Break up sitting and movement. [00:09:20] Sleep disruption and stress load.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why stubborn belly fat is not a calorie issue or a willpower problem but a visceral fat problem driven by inflammation, stress hormones, and faulty metabolic signals. Ben explains the critical difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat and why traditional approaches like excessive cardio, crunches, caloric restriction, and chronic OMAD fail to eliminate deep belly fat. Drawing on over 200 years of Japanese metabolic wisdom, he shares a simple yet powerful three-pillar approach to melting visceral fat naturally: Deeply colored foods that activate fat-burning genes Green tea catechins that increase fat oxidation and block fat absorption Moderate-intensity movement using the 75% talk-test rule You'll also learn: How to identify visceral fat with a simple self-test Why bottled green tea sabotages fat loss Why fat loss is about signals, not discipline How “thin on the outside, fat on the inside” (TOFI) applies to many people How fast visceral fat can drop once the right signals are restored This episode delivers a clear, actionable plan to reduce inflammation, protect metabolism, and restore your body's natural fat-burning ability without starvation or punishment.

What happens when you let philosophy escape the ivory tower and live in your body? Today's guest is Ximena, a Mexican eco-philosopher who ditched academic elitism for something far more dangerous: thinking as a radical act of love.We get into why rationality alone made her chronically ill (yes, really), how capitalism hijacked our concept of time, and why resistance fueled by joy might be the only kind that lasts. If you've tired of activism that depletes rather than sustains, this one's for you. We're philosophizing, asking the bigger questions, and as Ximena so eloquently states: making the intellectual visceral.Key themes:1. The Intellectual Turned VisceralPhilosophy often gets confused with being SUPER cerebral, but it's actually something you FEEL in your entire body. When intellectual work moves through your whole system, that's when transformation actually happens!2. Philosophy for Humans, Not Just PhilosophersAcademia gatekeeps philosophy with intentional jargon, but philosophizing is just having conversations with deep curiosity. It LITERALLY means love of wisdom. You're already a philosopher ;)3. Time, Capitalism, and the Productivity TrapCapitalism hijacked time itself, turning it from cyclical and embodied into linear, scarce, and productive, something to optimize rather than experience. We've internalized this timeline so deeply that rest feels like rebellion, and it's legit killing us.4. Resistance as LoveResistance rooted only in anger mimics the systems it's trying to dismantle, but real sustained resistance grows from love and knowing what you're for. The long revolution happens when we build the spaces we want to see, making resistance an act of imagination and joy rather than just critique.5. The Democratization of Knowledge as Radical ActPhilosophy trapped in universities serves power, but the tools of critical thinking are human capacities, not special skills reserved for people with degrees. Your questions are valid, your thinking is valuable, your philosophizing countssss!Connect with Ximena (and join the next round of ROOTED IMPACT):Substack (Ximena Ximena + Tuhella)InstagramVelvet Philosophy PodcastConnect with Chelsea:

Curious about how Luis teaches? Here is your window into a nutritional teaching about stored trauma, visceral fat, and inflammation. Stored trauma in the body sets off a chain reaction resulting in elevated insulin, putting the body into fat storage mode. Visceral fat becomes an endocrine organ producing protein molecules called cytokines that create an inflammatory response. This process primes the body for carb consumption. Often food is either avoided, or binging is chosen, stressing the body out further.  Stored trauma also creates excess adrenaline that gets filtered through the liver. The metabolites go into the bile resulting in acidic bile that inflames the gut lining. In times of stress many of us turn towards processed foods, and those also contribute to an inflamed gut lining. Chronic inflammation in the gut usually leads to auto immune diseases, chronic illness and weight issues. Interested in learning more?

Visceral fat is not stubborn. It is protective fat stored when the body senses stress. In this episode, Ben explains why cortisol is the true fat-storage switch and walks you through a 30-day protocol to turn it off. You'll learn why calories and workouts are not the real problem, and how hormones like cortisol and insulin control belly fat, inflammation, sleep, and metabolic health. What You'll Learn: Why visceral fat is hormonally driven, not calorie-driven How cortisol and insulin work together to store belly fat The ideal intermittent fasting schedule to lower insulin and cortisol Why eating earlier in the day improves fat-burning sleep The benefits of a weekly 24-hour fast, including autophagy and growth hormone Which foods spike cortisol and must be removed for 30 days The best anti-inflammatory foods and fats to support fat loss How nitric oxide and blood flow unlock visceral fat Why walking is more effective than intense cardio for belly fat The sleep strategies that shut off cortisol at night How minerals help release stored fat and toxins Why your thoughts and gratitude directly impact fat loss hormones FREE GUIDE:  The World's Easiest Breakfast Diet - https://bit.ly/4jeLvFE 

In this episode, Dr. Derrick Hines sits down with Renée Fitton, MS, RD, to explore the science behind fasting-mimicking diets and how short, structured fasting cycles can reset metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support long-term health.They break down how fasting-mimicking protocols activate cellular repair processes like autophagy, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce visceral and liver fat, and support longevity without extreme restriction or muscle loss. The conversation also covers emerging research on diabetes reversal, inflammation reduction, and how fasting-mimicking diets may support cancer care and healthy aging.This episode offers a clear, practical look at how using food strategically — not constantly — can help restore metabolic flexibility and improve overall health.Topics Covered:- How fasting-mimicking diets work at a cellular level- Metabolic reset, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation reduction- Visceral fat, liver health, and biological aging- The role of fasting-mimicking diets in diabetes and longevity- Emerging research on cancer support and immune resilience- Why short, periodic fasting can be more effective than daily restriction

In this episode of The Eric Bach Show, Eric breaks down seven specific foods that make losing stubborn belly and visceral fat easier—not by “magic,” but by improving insulin sensitivity, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, and hormone balance. You'll learn how to build meals that keep you full, support longevity, and help you look great naked… without starving yourself or living in the gym. Why the same foods that help you get leaner also protect your brain, mitochondria, DNA, and cardiovascular system as you age. The 7 Foods Eric Breaks DownCoffeeBoosts metabolic rate (roughly 3–11% in studies).Increases fat oxidation during exercise and can blunt appetite earlier in the day.Loaded with polyphenols like chlorogenic acid that support liver health, reduce oxidative stress, and may lower risk of neurodegenerative disease—as long as you're not turning it into a 500-calorie dessert drink. Lean Beef or Bison (93–95% lean)High-protein, nutrient-dense source with iron, zinc, B12, creatine, and some omega-3s (especially in grass-fed and bison).Higher protein = more thermogenesis, more satiety, better lean-mass retention in a deficit.CLA and omega-3s are linked to reductions in visceral fat and improved metabolic health. Wild BlueberriesImprove insulin sensitivity and help stabilize blood sugar, reducing cravings.High in fiber plus powerhouse antioxidants and polyphenols (anthocyanins) that support brain health, BDNF, and mitochondrial protection.Wild varieties can have 2–3x the antioxidant load of regular blueberries. Broccoli (and other crucifers)Ultra high volume, low-calorie, fiber-rich—great for appetite control and blood sugar stability.Rich in sulforaphane, which activates NRF2 (your body's “master antioxidant switch”) to support detoxification, lower inflammation, and protect DNA from damage. Greek Yogurt (2% or Non-Fat)High in protein to preserve muscle and support metabolism during fat loss.Probiotics support gut health, digestion, inflammation, and immune function.Fermented dairy is linked to better microbiome diversity and improved longevity markersLeafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Arugula, Romaine, etc.)Low-calorie, high-volume, packed with folate, vitamin K, magnesium, nitrates, and antioxidants.Support insulin sensitivity, stress management, cardiovascular health, and nitric oxide (better blood flow, performance… and erections).Simple habit: a “big-ass salad” at dinner most nights. Wild-Caught SalmonElite combo of high-quality protein and omega-3 fats (EPA + DHA).Helps improve insulin sensitivity, lower systemic inflammation, and reduce cardiovascular risk by ~25–35% in some research.Supports brain function, mood, joint health, and telomere protection—huge for longevity and preserving leanness as you age. Big TakeawaysYou don't need “fat-burning foods”—you need fat-loss friendly foods that make a calorie deficit sustainable.Focus on foods that either had a face or came from the ground: protein + fiber + micronutrients beat pills, potions, and powders.Start by consistently adding 2–3 of these foods into your daily rotation, then build from there.

Visceral fat — the deep fat around your organs — acts like a hormone-producing organ that fuels inflammation, disrupts metabolism, and increases the risk of aggressive endometrial cancer New research shows that fat activity, not fat amount, predicts cancer severity, meaning even women with moderate weight face higher risk if their fat is metabolically active Chronically inflamed visceral fat releases cytokines, fatty acids, and signaling molecules that promote tumor growth, insulin resistance, and immune suppression, creating a biological environment where cancer thrives You can calm overactive fat by eliminating seed oils, lowering stress hormones like cortisol, and supporting mitochondrial function through healthy carbs, restorative sleep, and natural progesterone balance Restoring metabolic health through consistent, daily habits helps deactivate inflammatory fat, lower cancer risk, and rebuild your body's natural resilience and energy production

Inner thigh fat loss isn't just about exercise. Your inner thigh workout should prioritize rest and recovery. Discover the best inner thigh exercises, along with the necessary diet and lifestyle changes, for achieving smooth, toned, and healthy legs. 0:00 Introduction: Inner thigh toning and fat loss1:06 Inner thigh fat loss4:45 How to tone inner thighs7:16 What causes inner thigh fat?7:58 The best inner thigh workout12:29 More inner thigh fat loss tips Subcutaneous fat is the fat stored just under the skin. Visceral fat surrounds the organs. This type of fat is unhealthy and inflammatory, often related to insulin resistance. Liver fat can be eliminated in a matter of days or weeks. Fat on the inner thighs is the most difficult type of fat to get rid of. This fat is not just superficial; it's woven inside the muscle fibers, similar to the marbling in Wagyu beef. Muscle deteriorates and is replaced by fat and scar tissue. Stem cells that make muscle cells are lost, resulting in fewer contractions, less ATP, and more insulin resistance in the muscle.This abnormal accumulation of fat in the muscle is called myosteatosis, or intramuscular fat. This fat must be burned locally! As you begin to address this problem, you may not initially lose weight or notice a visible change, because the change occurs at the cellular level. For inner thigh fat loss, focus on repairing damaged muscle cells, rather than simply losing weight. Strength and decreased appetite will signify that you are improving. The root causes of intramuscular fat are the following:•Inactivity/sedentary life •Insulin resistance •Inflammation •Aging For the most inner thigh fat loss, try the following:1. Eccentric exercises 2. Walking 3. Sprinting/HIIT4. Two meals per day/low-carb diet 5. Increase key nutrients: magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-36. Get plenty of sleep7. Periodic prolonged fasting 8.

Looking in the mirror and not recognizing your body anymore? Despite eating well and staying active, your body keeps changing in ways that feel beyond your control. Your jeans don't fit, your belly feels thicker, and your old fitness routine just isn't working.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa talks with menopause fitness specialist Megan Dahlman about what's really happening to your body during perimenopause and menopause—and what you can actually do about it. Learn practical, science-backed strategies to build strength, improve body composition, and feel confident in your changing body.In her 17 years of professional training, Megan Dahlman has become the sought-after trainer for women over 40 who want to be strong and live a long, healthy life. Leveraging a degree in Exercise Science and certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), she has an uncanny ability to make fitness and nutrition simple, doable, and, most importantly, sustainable. No fad diets or trendy gadgets required!! Through her weekly newsletter, top-ranked podcast, and popular online training programs and courses, her mission is to help every woman in midlife (and beyond) feel strong, pain-free, and confident in all aspects of her body.Highlights from our discussion include:Understanding body composition: It's not just about the scale—learn the difference between lean mass (muscle, bone, organs) and fat mass, and why muscle matters more than ever in midlife.Visceral vs. subcutaneous fat: Menopausal women store more dangerous visceral fat around organs due to declining estrogen, which explains belly weight gain even without scale changes.Muscle is your superpower: Building muscle improves metabolism, bone density, hormone regulation, and energy. Make strength training your primary focus and other health goals will follow.Know your metabolic body type: Understanding if you're an ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph helps you set realistic expectations and train effectively for your unique body.Three essential exercises: Do these anywhere—squats (10 reps), countertop push-ups (10 reps), and planks (hold for 3-5 deep breaths).Hormones matter: Declining estrogen disrupts cortisol and insulin regulation. Manage stress daily through walks, breathwork, and rest.Break the all-or-nothing cycle: Stop swinging between extreme restriction and giving up. Ask daily: "What can I do today?"It's not too late: Your body can still build strength and improve at any age, regardless of your starting point.This week, choose ONE movement that feels good in your body and do it daily—not as punishment, but as an act of self-care.CONNECT WITH MEGAN DAHLMER:InstagramWebsitePodcastBody Type QuizCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with GabrielGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

You could be consuming the world's most dangerous carbohydrate without even realizing it. This hidden carb spikes your blood sugar, even more than actual sugar. Find out about the #1 most dangerous carb in this video. 0:00 Introduction: The #1 most dangerous carb in the world1:58 What is the worst carbohydrate? 2:20 What is starch? 5:20 Refined carbohydrates and chronic disease 6:08 Hidden sugar foods8:31 Food vs. ultra-processed foods It's no secret that ultra-processed carbs can take a serious toll on your health. Consuming this dangerous carbohydrate can have the following side effects:•Development of type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver•Insulin resistance•Visceral fat•Feeds pathogens in the gut •Inflammation•Increased LDL cholesterolProducts containing this ingredient can be marketed as zero sugar, even though it quickly turns to sugar in the blood. It's incredibly cheap, at about 20 cents per pound, and has no health benefits. It's used as a filler, and the average person consumes between 60 and 250 pounds per year.You can find this ingredient in gluten-free foods, baby formulas, baked goods, and other refined foods. Surprisingly, many athletes also consume this product. The carb we're talking about is industrial starch, such as modified food starch, corn starch, and maltodextrin. Starch is a string of glucose molecules. When a starch is modified in a lab, its bonds become very weak and fragile, causing it to turn into sugar very quickly in the body. Industrial starches are processed with chemicals such as sodium trimetaphosphate, vinyl acetate, bleach, and octenyl succinic anhydride. These chemicals are considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe), but they are self-regulated. Industrial starches are directly responsible for the complications associated with type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, brain plaquing, and fibrosis of the liver. People rarely consume starch alone. Most junk foods are composed of starches, seed oils, and sugar. Consuming starch with seed oils is a deadly combination! Hidden sugars are also consumed in much higher quantities than actual sugar. Food is defined as “that which is eaten to sustain life, to promote the growth and repair of tissues.” By this definition, starch is not food!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Lionel delivers a verbal spanking to political strategists, explaining why strategy demands choosing "amputation" over "death" in the brutal New York City election. Discover the cold, brutal reality of "how the game works" and why politics is visceral—not about facts. We dissect the terrifying new political landscape: from organized urban unrest based on "war game framing" by globalist entities, to the immediate risk posed by the emergency merger of trans activism and Antifa, dubbed "Trantifa". Lionel warns Republicans about their massive "organizing gap" and offers blunt suggestions for domestic security. Plus, a deep dive into John Bolton's stunning 18-count indictment under the Espionage Act, sharp commentary on "lawfare," and the hilarious, bizarre defenses used during viral traffic stops—like "I wasn't driving, I was traveling". Finally, stern warnings about the digital decline (never post that duck-lip selfie!) and a war waged against irritating verbal tics, including "bruh" and the misuse of brand names as verbs.

Send us a textCancer is the second leading cause of death, and while it sparks fear for good reason, 40% of cases are preventable. In this episode, I outline six practical, evidence-based steps that can help reduce your risk.We begin by understanding which cancers are most common based on gender—breast, colon, and lung in women; prostate, colon, and lung in men. While some rare cancers (like pancreatic or ovarian) evoke greater fear, the focus here is on the ones we're more likely to face and can meaningfully act on.Next, I break down risk factors into two categories. Some are unavoidable—your sex, age, or family history. For example, if a close relative had breast or colon cancer, early screening or genetic testing may be warranted. However, only about 5–10% of cancers are directly linked to inherited genetic mutations (American Cancer Society).The more empowering list? Avoidable risk factors—where our actions matter most. Smoking remains the leading modifiable cause of cancer, responsible for about 19% of all cases. Excess weight and obesity account for another 8% and are especially tied to hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic and ovarian (ScienceDirect) and PubMed). Visceral fat appears more predictive than BMI alone. Alcohol, especially in large quantities, is also linked to liver, GI, and breast cancers.Some risks are cancer-specific. HPV causes nearly all cervical cancers, and melanoma is largely driven by UV exposure. Air pollution, especially particulate matter, may slightly increase lung cancer risk (ASCO Global Oncology).Step three is to act on what you can. Quit smoking, aim for a healthy weight, wear sun protection, and ensure your kids get their routine HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines. Exercise plays a major role too—high activity levels correlate with 10–20% lower risk of several major cancers (JAMA). In colon cancer survivors, regular exercise reduced recurrence by 30% (PubMed).Step four is awareness: don't ignore new symptoms like unexplained bleeding or lumps. Early detection can be life-saving.Step five is screening. If you're 45 or older, colonoscopy is now recommended. Women should get regular mammograms and PAP smears, and individuals with smoking history may benefit from lung CT scans. For rarer cancers with family history, targeted screenings may apply. I also address why whole-body MRIs and liquid biopsies aren't ready for routine use.Step six? Don't put your hope in supplements. Large trials show omega-3s, vitamin D, beta carotene, and vitamin C offer no real protective benefit (NEJM VITAL Study, Meta-analysis on Vitamin C, JNCI on aspirin).Takeaways: You can reduce your cancer risk by modifying lifestyle factors like smoking, weight, and activity. Don't delay screenings—they catch cancers early when treatment is most effective. And remember: no supplement replaces proven preventive strategies.Visit drbobbylivelongandwell.com for more evidence-based tools, and listen to the full episode for actionable steps to help you live long and well.

Andrea and Jodie watched The Talented Mr. Ripley, the 1999 psychological thriller that features Jude Law at the height of his powers. We talk about what makes the casting work in a story that depends on believing Tom and Dickie's strange connection, the beauty of sun-drenched Italy on film, and Jude Law's perfect face (and terrible hat). There's also Cate Blanchett being effortlessly delightful, the realization that we maybe haven't given Matt Damon the credit he deserves, and Patricia Highsmith's stunning lifelong commitment to horrible opinions. Next week, we're talking Jennifer's Body, the horror-comedy revenge cult classic that deserved better the first time around.Recommended Reading:The Most Stylish Scammer: 20 Years of ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley'‘Visceral, sensual wonders': why The Talented Mr Ripley is my feelgood movieIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Angela is joined by internationally renowned medical doctor and researcher Dr. William Li for an eye-opening conversation about metabolism, fat loss, and the science of food as medicine. Dr. Li debunks common myths, like the belief that metabolism “slows down” with age, and explains how excess body fat, not age, is the real driver of metabolic decline. They also explore groundbreaking research on foods that activate brown fat, reduce visceral fat, and improve health span, offering practical, science-backed strategies you can use today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolism Myths Debunked: Human metabolism remains rock-stable from ages 20–60 and only slightly declines after that. The real issue is excess fat, not aging. Visceral vs. Brown Fat: Visceral fat harms metabolism, while brown fat is metabolically active and helps burn visceral fat. Food as Medicine: Everyday foods like tomatoes, berries, extra virgin olive oil, and even coffee can activate brown fat and improve metabolic health. Lifestyle Choices Matter: Stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods slow metabolism. With the right choices, 60 can truly be the new 20. Personalized Health: There's no one-size-fits-all prescription. How you live, eat, and manage stress determines how well your metabolism functions.

Film writer and critic Brendan Hodges joins to discuss Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, a self-proclaimed love letter to the filmmaker's WWII veteran father and all the fighting men of the Second World War. Visceral, upsetting, and deeply conflicted, the film formally disavows many of Spielberg's more populist tendencies as director and creates a tension between the valorizing, mythic tone of its war movie forebears and its own aims as a subjective, hyperreal chronicle of boots-on-the-ground combat. Is the film a viscious, jingoistic piece of propaganda? A formally exhilarating but ideologically dubious piece of late 20th century moviemaking? Or is it, as our guest asserts, one of the most misunderstood texts in popular American cinema? We begin by reflecting on Saving Private Ryan's legacy and cultural context, its place as a cultural behemoth and its application as a load-bearing hagiography for American militarism that found new purchase in a post-9/11 context just a few years after its release. Then, we examine Spielberg's formalism, how images contradict text within the film, and what to make of the movie's propositions on its own terms. Finally, we address the movie's evocation of difficult realities of warfare, and ask if the film meets the mandate and responsibility of such images; how history and contemporary context color our interpretations, and what value there is in continuing to return to such questions in our current moment.

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Dr. Vera Tarman welcomes Dr. Anna Barbieri, a board-certified gynecologist and integrative medicine physician who specializes in menopause, perimenopause, PCOS, and PMS. Dr. Barbieri is also a certified menopause practitioner and co-founder of Electra Health, where she blends conventional medicine with holistic, evidence-based approaches to women's hormonal health. Together, they explore the fascinating, complex, and often overlooked role hormones play in shaping women's appetite, cravings, and relationship with food across the lifespan. From the ups and downs of PMS and perimenopause, to the challenges of menopause and PCOS, Dr. Barbieri explains how sex hormones, stress hormones, and appetite-regulating hormones intersect—and what women can do to support their health through these transitions.

The film follows Mima, a former J-Pop idol who has recently left the music group Cham! that made her famous and beloved in order to pursue a career as an actress. As Mima struggles to adapt to the demands of her new profession, she becomes the victim of an obsessive stalker and steadily begins to lose her grip on reality. Visceral, confounding, and richly layered with considerations about celebrity, artifice, and the toll of creating a public persona, Perfect Blue represents the very best animated cinema has to offer and showcases what the medium is capable of in the hands of a brilliant artist.We begin by unpacking the film's contemplations of public image and the fledgling internet; how Kon anticipates the production of digital avatars and how these versions of ourselves skew people's perceptions of our interiority. Then, we discuss Perfect Blue's perspective on patriarchal, predatory systems within entertainment and art, as well as how the film conveys the top-down proprietary relationships that we build around celebrity. Finally, we examine the film's core tragedy - the loss of agency and sense of self that necessary follows any participation within a larger system of public visibility and the subsequent collapse of solidarity these losses breed.Follow Lex Briscuso on Twitter.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

Ever wonder why your child's “mystery” stomach aches keep coming back even when every test comes back normal?Dr. Ali Navidi is a GI psychologist who specializes in the gut-brain connection in kids.

We cover: Gut-brain connection in kids and why stomach pain is real, even with normal test results How parenting responses and visceral hypersensitivity affect chronic belly pain Why this often goes undiagnosed and how anxiety plays a role Proven treatments for gut-brain disorders, from targeted CBT to clinical hypnosis To connect with Dr. Ali Navidi follow him on Instagram @gipsychusa, check out all his resources at Gipsychology.com and schedule a free consultation here: www.GIPsychology.com/free-consultation/ We'd like to know who is listening!

1. Loneliness Loneliness related to social isolation causes a chronic elevation in cortisol, which leads to inflammation and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Focus on nurturing at least 3 quality relationships. Prioritize regular social engagement and volunteering your time to help others. 2. Lack of sleepGetting less than 5 hours of sleep can increase your risk of early death by 30%! It also increases your risk of weight gain, cravings, and diabetes by 2 to 3 times. Always aim for at least 7 hours of sleep.3. Refined sugarProcessed sugar and starch contribute to liver fat, obesity, Alzheimer's, and inflammation. Cut sugar from your diet and follow a low-carb ketogenic diet. The Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter app allows you to quickly scan foods to identify the 3 key ingredients in most junk foods: sugars, starches, and seed oils. 4. Industrial seed oilsSeed oils create significant inflammation in the body. Avoid processed seed oils and choose healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, tallow, and lard. 5. Reduce visceral fat naturally Visceral fat surrounds the organs and directly correlates with your longevity. Reduce visceral fat naturally by doing intermittent fasting and keto. 6. Stop snackingConstant snacking makes it impossible for your body to repair damaged cells. Stop snacking and only eat when you're hungry.7. Nutrient deficiencies A magnesium deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and muscle cramps. Magnesium is found in leafy greens and pumpkin seeds, or you can take a magnesium glycinate supplement. It's said that 40% of people are deficient in vitamin D, but that figure could be closer to 90%! Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of early death and leads to inflammation and depression. You need at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. Low choline intake can cause a fatty liver and problems with memory and cognitive function. You need 550 mg per day, and the best sources are egg yolks and liver.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.
