Stay Off My Operating Table: Recent Episodes
Dr. Philip Ovadia
He was a morbidly obese heart surgeon. Through high school, college, med school and surgical training, he followed the U.S. dietary guidelines for both diet and exercise. Yet nothing he did could keep the weight off. Each day in the operating theater he would split open the chests of people just like himself. He was heading for the operating table and knew he had to find solutions that worked. In 2016, he finally found a way to lose 100 pounds and keep it off. Now - in addition to doing heart surgery - he helps people just like himself get healthy, lose the weight and keep it off. Dr. Philip Ovadia is now a rebel M.D. working to keep people OFF his operating table.
Most conversations about diabetes focus on controlling blood sugar. Dr. Ian Lake spent 20 years following this playbook—counting carbohydrates, injecting insulin, managing his type 1 diagnosis according to conventional medical guidance. Then a serious hypoglycemic episode and early signs of retinopathy forced him to reconsider everything.
What he discovered became the foundation of his practice and his new book Shifting Gears: insulin itself may be more important than the glucose it controls. By reframing type 1 diabetes as a metabolic optimization problem rather than a glucose-management puzzle, Lake unlocked something most people with the condition never experience—stability without constant mental and physical strain.
But here's what makes this conversation essential for everyone: type 1 diabetes isn't just a disease. It's a window into how your body actually works. Understanding insulin's role as a master metabolic regulator reveals patterns that affect weight, mental health, inflammation, and longevity in all of us. Lake has run 100 miles fasted. He's cycled 1,000 miles while managing type 1. His approach challenges core assumptions about fuel, performance, and what our bodies actually need.
BIG IDEA
Insulin management—not glucose control—is the key to metabolic flexibility and long-term health, whether you inject insulin or not.

A genetic connective tissue disorder deemed incurable by medicine improved dramatically through carnivore nutrition and structural medicine that conventional practice overlooks.
DESCRIPTION
At 16, Edward Goeke developed debilitating symptoms that left him bedridden: crippling pain whenever he felt emotion, constant tachycardia, and progressive deterioration. For two years, doctors dismissed him. Medications failed. Plant-based eating worsened his condition. By 18, he was losing vision and preparing to die.
Then came diagnosis: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder affecting his ligaments throughout his body. Told it was permanent. Told he'd never fully recover.
But something shifted when he eliminated plant foods entirely and adopted a carnivore diet. Combined with targeted structural therapies—PRP prolotherapy and deep tissue tendon needling—his symptoms stabilized, then reversed. Now 22, he walks, trains, and functions normally. More provocatively, he's built a research-backed argument that "genetic" and "incurable" aren't the same thing, and that nutritional intervention can fundamentally alter gene expression.
Edward's now creating content to challenge mainstream health dogma, particularly for younger audiences conditioned to accept conventional medicine's failures as inevitable.

Your body cannot release stored fat or heal itself when it perceives threat; gratitude is the measurable physiological switch that lowers cortisol, raises oxytocin, and allows metabolic transformation.
DESCRIPTION
Ben Azadi lost 80 pounds and reversed suicidal depression through metabolic healing. His father wasn't as fortunate—a preventable decline into type 2 diabetes, neuropathy, and stroke in 2014. That loss forged his purpose: reach one billion people and reverse type 2 diabetes in a million within a decade.
But Azadi's message diverges sharply from the biohacking mainstream. While cold plunges and red light have their place, they're secondary. The foundation is unglamorous: gratitude, sunlight, grounding—all free, all measurable in blood work and heart rate variability.
The science is stark: stress elevates cortisol; cortisol packs visceral fat around your organs. Gratitude does the inverse. Peer-reviewed research shows intentional gratitude practices reduce all-cause mortality by 9 percent and cardiovascular death by 15 percent.
KetoFlex Revised, his new book, merges this psychological work with metabolic flexibility—teaching your body to burn fat instead of remaining locked into sugar dependence. His thesis: most people major in the minors, chasing complexity while overlooking what actually works.

For twenty years, Kelsey Buchalter cycled through hospitals, medications, and every conventional treatment psychiatry could offer for anorexia, bulimia, and anxiety. None of it touched the underlying problem. What finally did was a single instruction from a nutritionist: eat only red meat and eggs for ten days.
Now a health coach at Ovadia Heart Health, Kelsey sits down with Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald to trace the biological mechanism behind that shift, and to challenge a premise most mental health treatment never questions: that the mind can be repaired while the body remains inflamed and malnourished. She draws a sharp distinction between disordered eating and dietary intervention, one that has nothing to do with what's on the plate and everything to do with why it's there.
The conversation moves through decision fatigue, the vagus nerve's surprising link to the human voice, and the difference between healing from fear versus healing from self-respect. It is a story about what happens when biology gets treated before anyone tries to talk the mind into changing.
BIG IDEA
Before psychology can do its work, biology has to be stabilized first, and for Kelsey Buchalter, that meant confronting the idea that her mental illness was never a character flaw but a body in crisis.

Cardiac imaging expert Kim Mischo spent 20 years inside the cardiology machine — running nuclear stress tests that told patients they were fine, then watching some of those patients have heart attacks the following week. She knew the system was broken long before she could prove it.
Now she can prove it.
A non-invasive scan exists that can detect coronary artery disease at 5% blockage — before symptoms, before a stress test would ever flag anything. It's been guideline-recommended since 2021. It's 99% accurate. And insurance won't cover it.
The reason why is the part of this conversation that will stay with you.
Dr. Philip Ovadia and Kim Mischo walk through the technology, the economics, and the quiet institutional logic that keeps a life-saving diagnostic tool out of reach for most Americans — while a far less accurate, far more expensive alternative continues to dominate cardiology practices nationwide.
This is a conversation about what early detection of heart disease could look like, and why it doesn't yet.
BIG IDEA
Between 50 and 60 percent of patients die from their first heart attack — which means the insurance company never had to pay a single claim related to their coronary disease.

Martha Carlin wasn't a scientist when her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 44. She was an auditor — trained to follow the evidence wherever it leads, and to never take anything at face value. That discipline took her somewhere medicine hadn't yet looked: the gut.
What she found over the next two decades reframes how we understand not just Parkinson's, but chronic constipation, cancer, metabolic disease, sleep, cravings, and the quiet collapse of human health since World War II. The microbiome isn't a side conversation — it may be the whole conversation.
This episode traces one woman's obsessive, rigorous, grief-fueled investigation into what's really living inside us, what we've done to destroy it, and whether we can get it back. The answers are more specific — and more actionable — than you might expect.
BIG IDEA
The gut is not a digestive accessory — it is a pharmacological ecosystem that governs your brain, your immune system, your cravings, and possibly the trajectory of every major chronic disease you will ever face.

Most people trying to get healthier are losing a battle they don't know they're fighting. It's not a lack of information. It's not even a lack of effort. It's something quieter — the stories running beneath the surface, the environments they've stopped noticing, the split-second decisions that feel small until they're not.
Martin Silva has spent 20 years coaching people out of the patterns that keep them stuck. A former competitive natural bodybuilder who hit the aesthetic ceiling and found it hollow, he now works with high-achievers in their 40s and 50s — people who are disciplined in every area of life except this one.
In this conversation, Martin unpacks the real architecture of lasting change: why willpower always fails, how your circle quietly shapes your body, why doing less in the gym often produces more, and what it actually takes to stop starting over.
The information was never the problem.
BIG IDEA
It's way easier to avoid temptation than it is to resist it — and no one gets healthy by relying on willpower.

Craig Emmerich spent a decade eating low-carb and feeling great — until he wasn't. What followed was a quarter-million dollars, a chronic Lyme diagnosis, and a hard-won education in what diet alone simply cannot do.
In this conversation, Craig and Dr. Ovadia pull apart one of the most seductive myths in the metabolic health space: that the right food is always the right answer. They talk protein thresholds, personal fat limits, the case for bio-identical hormones, and the nuanced reality of GLP-1s — all filtered through 20-plus years of clinical observation and thousands of client testimonies.
What emerges is a framework built not on ideology but on context. The question isn't which diet is correct. The question is what your body actually needs right now — and whether you're asking that question honestly.
Craig and Maria Emmerich's new book, The Art of Metabolic Health, is available at ketomaria.com.
BIG IDEA
The number one failure of any diet is noncompliance — and the number one failure of any health strategy is mistaking the tool for the answer.

The science of what to eat has never been clearer. The problem was never the biology — it was everything else. Dr. Ty Beal, a global nutrition scientist who helped author the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines, has spent his career mapping where modern diets fail and why they keep failing. His Nutritional Value Score ranked foods with a rigor that finally puts organ meats in their proper place, calls out the grain mythology for what it is, and confirms what many already suspect: ultra-processed food is systematically, measurably eroding human health worldwide. But knowing what to eat and actually eating it are two very different problems. Dr. Beal doesn't just explain the gap — he names the machinery keeping it open. And despite decades of food industry interference in policy, he's cautiously, specifically optimistic. The question he can't fully answer yet is the hardest one: knowing what we know, why haven't things changed?
BIG IDEA
We have enough science to know what to eat — the remaining obstacle is not biology, it's the economics, politics, and behavioral engineering working against it.
Ty Beal Contact Info
Dr. Ty Beal discussed the development of the Nutritional Value Score (NVS), his role on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Scientific Review Group, and the critical need to prioritize whole, minimally processed foods over ultra-processed options. The conversation revealed broad agreement that ultra-processed foods and refined carbohydrates are the primary dietary issue in the U.S., while nutrient deficiencies remain widespread globally and domestically.

You've done the work. You cleaned up your diet, fixed your sleep, addressed your metabolic health — and something is still wrong. Brain fog you can't explain. Fatigue that won't move. Weight creeping up for no apparent reason. Personality changes your family notices before you do.
Nurse practitioner Ally D'Amico spent 14 years watching patients spiral through specialists, collect diagnoses like fibromyalgia and chronic depression, and never actually get better — until she stumbled onto the thing nobody in conventional medicine was looking for. One in four people carry a genetic predisposition that prevents them from clearing a common environmental toxin. Fifty percent of homes contain it. And the insurance system doesn't even have a billing code for it.
If you've ruled everything else out, or if you're still not all the way back — this conversation is worth your time.
BIG IDEA
Mold toxicity masquerades as fibromyalgia, chronic depression, brain fog, and metabolic dysfunction — and one in four people are genetically unable to clear it on their own.

Your body already knows how to heal itself. The question is whether anyone is giving it the right signals.
Dr. Adeel Khan trained as a conventional physician before following a thread most doctors ignore: what if we could restore the system, not just manage the symptoms? That thread led him through sports medicine, global laboratories, stem cell research, and a fundamental rethinking of what aging actually is at the cellular level.
In this conversation, Dr. Khan explains why most clinics calling themselves "stem cell" providers aren't offering what they claim, what MUSE cells actually do differently, why the US regulatory environment has kept these therapies out of reach — and what's quietly changing. He also pulls back the curtain on peptides, mitochondrial repair, and the emerging field of proteomics that may finally give us real data on how well these interventions work.
The future of medicine may not look like treatment at all. It may look like restoration.
BIG IDEA
If the system we built worked so well, we wouldn't have the problems that we do.

Nick Norwitz has an MD, a PhD, and a cholesterol level that should have killed him — at least according to the standard model of cardiovascular disease. For seven years, his total cholesterol held above 700. His LDL sat in the high 500s. Every clinical algorithm flagged him as a cardiac emergency. He took none of the prescribed medications.
His just-published case report shows zero coronary plaque. Not reduced. Not minimal. Zero.
This episode isn't a victory lap. It's a serious conversation about what that result means — for how medicine measures risk, how it handles outliers, and why the incentive structures that shape clinical decisions may be more dangerous than any single cholesterol number. Dr. Philip Ovadia and Nick Norwitz also go deep on a fraudulent case report published in Circulation, why statins suppress GLP-1 levels and almost no cardiologist knows it, and what happens when the patient who refuses to follow the algorithm turns out to be right.

BIG IDEA
A patient with seven years of astronomically high cholesterol and zero coronary plaque is not an outlier to dismiss — he is a question medicine is obligated to answer.

You got the tests. You got the diagnosis — maybe more than one. You took the medication. And you still don't feel like yourself.
Reed Davis has spent 30 years working with exactly those people. As the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, he's trained over 5,000 practitioners in a methodology built on one counterintuitive premise: chasing a diagnosis may be the wrong move entirely.
Instead of narrowing in on a label, Reed looks for what he calls metabolic chaos — a constellation of interconnected dysfunction across hormones, immunity, digestion, detoxification, energy production, and the nervous system. The body, he argues, already knows how to heal. The job is to stop obstructing it.
What that looks like in practice — and the stories of what happens when you get it right — is where this conversation gets interesting.
BIG IDEA
You're supposed to live yourself out of the problems you've lived yourself into.

Medicine has always positioned itself as the authority — the place you go when something is wrong, on its terms, in its building, by its schedule. But the infrastructure built to support that model may now be its biggest liability.
Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer of the American College of Cardiology, has a front-row seat to what's breaking down and what's quietly beginning to work. What she sees isn't a technology problem. It's a relationship problem — between patients and the systems meant to serve them, between clinicians and the tools being handed to them, between the pace of innovation and the inertia of institutions that were never designed to move.
She's not here to predict the future. She's already living in the parts of it that are functioning. And what she's learned about why good technology fails — and why broken systems persist — applies far beyond cardiology.

Darius Sharpe has spent over two decades watching the same patients cycle through emergency rooms with the same conditions, the same medications, and the same unaddressed root cause. As a paramedic-turned-ER nurse, he started asking a question nobody around him wanted to answer: why are we treating the result instead of the cause?
What followed was years of self-experimentation — continuous glucose monitors, serial lab draws, coronary imaging — on a man who, by every outward measure, looked like a picture of health. What he found in his own bloodwork challenged assumptions held across every nutritional camp.
BIG IDEA: As long as diabetes exists, you will have heart disease — no matter how low you drive your LDL.

Every woman will go through menopause. Every partner, spouse, child, and close friend will feel it too. And almost none of them will understand what is actually happening — or why the standard medical response of "just add hormones" so often falls short.
Cynthia Thurlow joins Stay Off My Operating Table to explain why so many women hit midlife feeling like their bodies suddenly stopped cooperating, despite doing “all the right things.”
This conversation connects gut health to hormones, inflammation, and aging in a way that removes shame, self-blame, and confusion, and replaces it with clarity and relief.

Dylan Gemelli went from prison to Milan runways to millions of YouTube subscribers — and then a calcium score of 120 and an LP(a) of 330 stopped him cold at 40 years old. In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, he breaks down what both the biohacking and conventional medical worlds are getting wrong, why confusion is the real enemy of public health, and how he dropped his LP(a) from 330 to 94 without following his doctor's orders. This episode is equal parts cardiovascular science and hard-won life philosophy — and the two turn out to be inseparable.
BIG IDEA
If you're not right spiritually, I don't care what anybody says — it's going to be a struggle to fix the other two.

Dr. Lori Calabrese is a psychiatrist whose trajectory changed when a patient with 15 years of treatment-resistant anorexia went into full remission after a ketogenic diet. What followed was a research journey — pilot studies, peer-reviewed case series, and a now-funded randomized controlled trial — consistently showing that depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions could achieve complete remission, not just symptom reduction, through metabolic intervention. The key mechanism isn't neurotransmitter adjustment but mitochondrial health: when the brain runs on ketones, it receives a more stable fuel that reduces the erratic neurological firing behind panic, mania, obsessive loops, and psychosis.

Dave Feldman, a software engineer turned citizen scientist, went on a ketogenic diet and watched his LDL cholesterol spike dramatically while his family members on the same diet saw no such change. Unable to get cardiologists or lipidologists to study the phenomenon, he built a public charity from scratch, crowdfunded the research, and designed the Keto CTA study — enrolling 100 metabolically healthy people with very high LDL and scanning their coronary arteries with CT angiograms at baseline and one year later. He filmed the entire process. The result is the documentary The Cholesterol Code.
The findings were notable, but the story became more complicated when the AI-assisted plaque analysis from the company Cleerly produced results Feldman considered statistically anomalous — including zero regressors across 99 participants, and greater plaque progression in people with a calcium score of zero than in those with a positive score, which contradicts established research.

Moira Newiss spent 20 years running hospitals for the UK's National Health Service before her body and mind staged a slow, invisible collapse that no blood panel could explain — and the system she'd devoted her career to had nothing to offer but a prescription she didn't want to fill. What she found instead was a framework rooted in mitochondrial biology that reframes mental illness, chronic fatigue, and burnout as problems of cellular energy rather than brain chemistry.
BIG IDEA
"Psychological stress adversely affects the mitochondria just like high-sugar diets do — and a ketogenic diet can correct things that psychological interventions alone sometimes cannot."

Kemi Blake started training contortion as an adult with a body that wasn't built for it — no childhood conditioning, no natural flexibility, just a fierce refusal to quit and an unusual willingness to pay close attention to what her body was doing in the moments before she lost consciousness. What she found wasn't a performance hack. It was a map of the nervous system, the body's hidden pressure architecture, and the emotional terrain that most of us spend our lives navigating blind.
BIG IDEA
The nervous system doesn't distinguish between emotional pain and physical pain — and that single fact changes everything about how you heal.

Sally K. Norton, a Cornell-trained nutritionist with a master's in public health, spent decades sick while eating all the "right" foods before connecting her arthritis, chronic fatigue, sleep dysfunction, and other symptoms to oxalate accumulation. Her research — drawing on tens of thousands of peer-reviewed articles — reveals that medical and nutritional institutions have long known oxalates cause problems, but the information never connected across disciplines, was never prioritized, and got buried under decades of commercial food messaging and dietary dogma. Critically, simply eliminating high-oxalate foods overnight can trigger a difficult detox response as stored crystals release from tissues, so gradual dietary change is recommended. Her book, Toxic Superfoods, and her website sallyknorton.com offer practical guidance for anyone ready to investigate further.

Dr. Sandeep Palakti spent years at Harvard and Mayo Clinic before realizing the American healthcare system isn't designed to keep people healthy. In this conversation with cardiac surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia, he breaks down why 70% of physicians are now employed by large health systems or insurers, how that institutional capture prevents real preventative care, and what both doctors and patients can do about it. He explains how he broke free to create Velocity Health, a national concierge practice focused on sleep, diet, exercise, and mental health through precise measurement and individualized strategies. For physicians feeling stuck and patients paying tens of thousands annually for insurance that doesn't deliver health, this conversation maps pathways to better options.
BIG IDEA
When the health insurer owns your doctor, your pharmacy, and your insurance, they have every incentive to drive costs up, reduce quality, and withhold care.

Two cardiac specialists—one who performs open-heart surgery, the other who places stents in blocked arteries—sit down for an honest conversation about what they see on the operating table and in the cath lab. Dr. Philip Ovadia and Dr. Arasi Maran treat patients at the end stage of heart disease, often when it's too late for interventions to make a meaningful difference. Both physicians share the same conclusion: you don't need a cardiologist or surgeon if you understand what real food looks like and take responsibility for your health before disease sets in.

Learn about the "forgotten hormone" T2 and its potential as a game-changer for metabolism and weight loss, the critical role of iodine, and what comprehensive thyroid testing should actually include.
Whether you're struggling with unexplained weight gain, crushing fatigue, hair loss, or have been told "everything is normal" despite feeling terrible, this episode provides the roadmap to proper thyroid diagnosis and treatment.

Carnivore diet recovery takes center stage as Bella Ma (Steak and Butter Gal) returns to share her transformation from sick vegan to thriving carnivore. After six years on a plant-based diet that left her without a period, covered in cystic acne, and constantly starving, Bella made a dramatic overnight switch to eating only animal foods. The results speak louder than any nutrition debate.

What happens when a heart surgeon who's performed over 3,300 operations decides the healthcare system is fundamentally broken? Dr. Philip Ovadia built a medical practice where the goal is making patients healthy enough that they don't need doctors anymore.
This conversation reveals how Ovadia Heart Health operates across all 50 states, why they celebrate when patients leave, and the uncomfortable truth about why your doctor can't tell you certain diseases are reversible. Chief Operating Officer Brian Keith joins Dr. Ovadia to explain the financial incentives trapping physicians and their roadmap for doctors to reclaim autonomy.

Jenny Mitich started carnivore to lose 70 pounds after having twins. Her anxiety vanished, depression lifted, and undiagnosed Hashimoto's finally made sense. This conversation moves beyond weight loss into mental health transformation, blood work interpretation your doctor won't discuss, and raising carnivore kids who refuse birthday cake. She shares sardine fasting protocols, functional medicine ranges, and why she's "a lighthouse, not a tugboat." Her new book Complete Carnivore combines 80 recipes with troubleshooting for common challenges. Find her educational content on YouTube at Jenny Mitich.

Doug Reynolds thought he was bulletproof until his running career collapsed under mysterious weight gain and joint pain. Three weeks studying ketones changed everything—launching Low Carb USA and the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. What emerged wasn't just conferences but sanctuary for practitioners facing hostility from colleagues who resist dietary intervention. Reynolds breaks conventional barriers: speakers scatter among attendees, forging relationships that span the country. After a three-year battle, the Society now offers ACCME-accredited continuing education credits, legitimizing metabolic medicine. January 23-25, 2026 conference at lowcarbusa.org. Code IFIXHEARTS saves 20%.
BIG IDEA
The loneliness of practitioners who face hostility for recommending dietary interventions has created an urgent need for community—and Low Carb USA became that refuge by accident, simply by bringing people together in the same room.

Your body will only tolerate what is genetically self—everything else, from organ transplants to breast implants, triggers an immune response that can manifest as chronic inflammation rather than obvious infection, and this response is influenced by your unique genetic detoxification capacity.

Former interventional cardiologist Dr. William Davis left traditional cardiology after his mother died months after a successful angioplasty. What he discovered challenges everything mainstream medicine teaches about heart disease.
Standard cholesterol testing is outdated. The real drivers of cardiovascular disease are small LDL particles created by wheat, grains, and sugars, amplified by gut microbiome disruption. Coronary calcium scores predict heart attacks far better than cholesterol levels, yet conventional treatments like statins show zero impact on plaque progression.
Dr. Davis reveals how antibiotic overuse has left half the US population with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, driving not just digestive issues but heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions, and neurological decline. Eliminating wheat and grains while restoring beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus reuteri can make dangerous particles disappear.
He also exposes the dangers of conventional weight loss: calorie restriction causes 25% muscle loss, permanently slowing metabolism and leading to early death despite temporary improvements. His new book Superbody offers an alternative focused on muscle preservation and microbiome restoration.
This conversation fundamentally reframes how diet, gut health, and heart disease connect.

Scott Everson didn't start the largest carnivore conference in the world just to talk about steak. After years battling chronic pelvic pain syndrome, benzodiazepine dependency, and mast cell activation syndrome, he found something more powerful than any protocol: people.
In this conversation, Scott shares how social isolation preceded his illness, how carnivore helped him survive when he could only tolerate lion diet basics, and why he believes loneliness increases heart disease risk by 29% – comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily. He challenges common assumptions in the health space, from the heavy metals hiding in popular carnivore salts to why some people's cholesterol skyrockets on animal-based diets while others thrive.
This isn't another "carnivore cures everything" story. Scott openly discusses the limits of dietary intervention, the individualized nature of metabolic response, and his conviction that true healing requires more than what's on your plate. It demands connection, purpose, and belonging.
Dr. Philip Ovadia joins the discussion to explore why doctors rarely prescribe community, what happens when you're 99% carnivore versus 100%, and whether long-term carnivore is optimal or if we should consider reintroducing certain foods. They tackle lipotoxicity, microbiome misconceptions, and the danger of dogmatic thinking in any health movement.
Whether you're carnivore-curious, chronically ill, or just tired of feeling alone in your health journey, this conversation cuts through the noise to address what we're really hungry for.

Your gut contains more bacterial cells than human cells in your entire body. This living ecosystem either works for you or against you, and most people are unknowingly destroying it with every meal. Dr. Jay Wrigley, hormone specialist, breaks down the intricate web connecting gut microbiome health, hormonal responses, and metabolic dysfunction in ways that finally make sense.
This conversation cuts through the symptom-chasing approach of conventional medicine to examine root causes. Why does adding iodine sometimes wreck thyroid function instead of helping it? What does sea salt actually contain, and why might vacation at the beach genuinely improve thyroid symptoms? How does the body's stress response literally prevent fat cells from releasing their contents, no matter how perfectly you eat?
Dr. Wrigley explains hormone sensitive lipase, the enzyme-hormone that acts as gatekeeper for fat burning, and why most people have never heard of it despite its central role in weight management. He traces the cascade from dietary choices through insulin and cortisol to inflammation and arterial damage, showing how the body's hormonal response to what you eat matters more than the food itself.
The discussion covers thyroid conversion problems that standard TSH testing misses entirely, the relationship between progesterone, estrogen and cellular thyroid function, and why the carnivore diet might indicate deeper gut issues rather than being a long-term solution. Learn which simple dietary modifications address iodine status without expensive testing, and how stress management connects directly to your body's willingness to release stored fat.
This is functional medicine thinking applied to everyday metabolic problems, explained through the lens of a practitioner who treats hormones as the body's first responders to everything you do, eat, think, and experience.
BIG IDEA
Your health is much more related to the hormonal response by the choice that you just made than what you ate at all.

Dr. Ahmad Ammous completed medical school expecting to heal people. Instead, he found a system designed to keep patients dependent on expensive drugs and procedures. In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, he traces the roots of our broken healthcare system back to 1910's Flexner Report and the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913—showing how centralized financial power shaped modern medicine into a profit-driven enterprise rather than a healing practice.
A first-year medical student when he switched to a meat-focused diet, Ammous experienced immediate relief from depression and anxiety that standard care never addressed. This personal transformation led him to question everything: why do patients with rheumatoid arthritis see only 20-30% improvement after 15 years of "standard treatment"? Why are hospitals increasingly chaotic disaster zones? Why can't physicians practice independently anymore?
The answers lie in understanding how artificial scarcity in medical education, massive student debt, and inflationary monetary policy have consolidated healthcare into massive institutions dependent on government funding and pharmaceutical company influence. Ammous argues that physicians must become entrepreneurs again, building decentralized practices outside the failing system—and that Bitcoin represents the financial foundation needed to break free from centralized control.
He also introduces quantum biology and the role of melanin in cellular energy production, explaining why modern indoor living under artificial light may be contributing to chronic disease. The path forward combines ancestral healing wisdom with modern scientific understanding, practiced in ways that actually serve patients rather than institutional profits.
This conversation offers both critique and hope—a roadmap for physicians ready to exit a collapsing system and patients seeking genuine healing rather than symptom management.
BIG IDEA
"I understood how the medical system doesn't really benefit from getting people healthy—it benefits from keeping them sick and dependent on the system, selling them expensive drugs and surgeries."

Angela Lerro's journey from near-death at 89 pounds to vibrant health challenges everything the spiritual community believes about diet. After breast cancer at 28, mysterious autoimmune conditions, and years of declining health on a plant-based diet, this energy worker made a radical decision that saved her life: eating only meat.
In this raw conversation, Angela shares how undiagnosed Lyme disease nearly killed her, why her intuitive gifts were making her sick, and how she combined carnivore nutrition with energy healing to create what she calls "miracles" in her practice. Her story exposes the dangerous disconnect between spiritual wellness culture and human biology.
From fainting 15 times daily to training her German Shepherd as a service dog, Angela's medical odyssey reveals how emotional trauma stores in the body and why proper nutrition is essential for spiritual work. She explains her unique approach to energy healing that works with clients worldwide, how meat consumption improved her psychic abilities, and why she believes the spiritual community's obsession with veganism is harming practitioners.
This isn't your typical wellness story. It's a compelling case for why healing requires addressing mind, body, and spirit simultaneously - and why that might mean eating in ways that contradict popular spiritual teachings.
BIG IDEA
When the student's ready, the teacher appears - and sometimes that teacher is your own body demanding you question everything you've been taught about healing.

Attorney Christopher Brandlin shares his harrowing journey from botched intestinal surgery and pharmaceutical dependency to healing through carnivore nutrition. After suffering severe complications from what should have been routine colon surgery, Brandlin rejected conventional medicine's next recommendation to remove his remaining intestines. Instead, he turned to the carnivore diet and found healing at the Paleo Medicina Clinic in Hungary.
Now a newly-minted PhD and congressional candidate for Nevada's 3rd district, Brandlin brings a unique perspective as someone who has experienced both the failures of the medical system and the power of metabolic healing. His platform focuses on reducing pharmaceutical influence in politics, mandating nutrition education for medical students, and funding research into ketogenic diets for chronic disease treatment.
The conversation spans Brandlin's background as a competitive bodybuilder, his legal career specializing in mold litigation and medical malpractice, and his unconventional preparation for congress through activities like professional bull riding training. Host Dr. Philip Ovadia and co-host Jack Heald explore how grassroots health movements can challenge institutional medicine and create policy change from within the system.
This episode offers insights into the intersection of personal health transformation, legal advocacy, and political reform, while highlighting the growing carnivore community's influence on public health discourse.
BIG IDEA
If you go to a doctor and your doctor immediately reaches for the prescription pad and tries to prescribe you medication without asking about your diet or your lifestyle, you don't really have a doctor - you have a drug dealer.

What if the very foods we think are nourishing our children are actually setting them up for a lifetime of metabolic dysfunction? In this unfiltered conversation, meat industry veterans Jon Engleson and Yuda Holtzberg pull back the curtain on how ultra-processed foods have hijacked childhood nutrition, creating what they call "the three Cs crisis" - cookies, candy, and cake as meal replacements.
Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald dive deep with these food industry insiders who've spent decades watching the transformation of simple ingredients into chemical cocktails. From hot dogs loaded with corn syrup to "zero sugar" potato chips that spike blood glucose higher than table sugar through maltodextrin, this conversation exposes the gap between what parents think they're feeding their kids and what's actually happening.
The discussion moves beyond problem identification into practical solutions, exploring how traditional food preservation methods - the kind used for centuries before industrial processing - can provide genuinely nourishing alternatives. Learn why a five-year-old asks for "Joburg" instead of breakfast cereal, and how shifting our food investment mindset could reshape both individual health and industry practices.
This isn't just another nutrition podcast - it's a roadmap for parents navigating a food system designed for profit over health, with actionable insights for breaking the cycle of processed food addiction before it takes hold.
BIG IDEA
"The true test is if you give a product to a 9-year-old, a 7-year-old, 11-year-old, there's no way they're gonna eat something that they don't like - so when kids naturally choose real food over processed alternatives, it proves that addiction to artificial ingredients is learned, not innate."

Chiropractor Grant Elliott challenges everything you think you know about lower back pain in this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia. With over 3 million followers and 250 weekly consultations, Elliott breaks down why 97% of herniated discs recover without surgery, why your core strength has nothing to do with back pain, and how simple movement patterns can provide immediate relief.
Elliott shares his evidence-based approach that contradicts traditional medical advice, explaining the anatomy of disc injuries and why repetitive movement—not rest—helps healing. He discusses the psychological components of chronic pain, proper sleep positioning, nutrition for spine health, and demonstrates the "do the opposite" principle that has helped thousands overcome years of suffering.
From debunking decompression therapy myths to explaining why sitting isn't inherently bad, this interview provides practical tools for anyone dealing with back pain. Elliott also addresses when surgery might be necessary and shares his online rehabilitation program that's helping people worldwide avoid the operating table.
Whether you're dealing with acute pain or have suffered for years, this conversation offers hope and actionable strategies based on current research rather than outdated medical assumptions.
BIG IDEA
Movement is medicine—find the right movements, the right exercises to alleviate lower back pain, because 97% of herniated discs recover without surgery when treated with proper rehabilitation.

Zoe Harcombe didn't set out to become a controversial figure in nutrition science. With a background working inside both Mars candy company and pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, she witnessed firsthand how corporate interests shape public health messages. But when she decided to pursue her PhD, what she discovered about the origins of our dietary guidelines shocked even her.
In this revealing conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, Harcombe breaks down her groundbreaking research showing that America's low-fat dietary guidelines - the foundation for nutritional advice affecting hundreds of millions of people - were based on just six randomized controlled trials involving fewer than 2,500 exclusively sick men. No women. No healthy people. Yet these became the blueprint for what we're told to eat.
Harcombe traces how Senator George McGovern's 1977 committee, influenced by his recent experience at a Pritikin bootcamp, essentially ignored the available scientific evidence and pushed through recommendations that had no solid research foundation. The ripple effects created our modern processed food epidemic and contributed to skyrocketing rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction.
But this isn't just about diet. Harcombe also shares her five-year legal battle against a major UK newspaper that attempted to silence her criticisms of statin research through personal attacks rather than scientific debate. Her victory in court has implications for free speech in scientific discourse and establishes important precedents for researchers challenging medical orthodoxy.
From her unique insider perspective having worked at the highest levels of both big food and big pharma, Harcombe offers an unflinching look at how corporate interests have hijacked public health policy. She explains why the Mediterranean diet isn't what Harvard researchers claim it is, why an apple affects your body similarly to a candy bar, and why real change has to come from individuals taking control of their own health rather than waiting for institutions to reform themselves.
This conversation cuts through decades of nutritional mythology to reveal the uncomfortable tr

What happens when a personal trainer realizes that loading someone under a barbell without asking about their sleep, relationships, and emotional state is like trying to run software on a broken operating system?
In this compelling conversation, Aleks Rybchinskiy shares his transformation from conventional personal trainer to Check Institute practitioner - one of fewer than 100 people to complete the full program. After a near-death experience at age 3, Aleks developed an insatiable curiosity about the deeper mechanics of human health that goes far beyond exercise and nutrition.
Through fascinating case studies, he demonstrates how mysterious chronic pain often stems from unresolved emotional conflicts, how a client's complete colon removal led to breakthroughs in holistic healing, and why measuring pelvic angles might matter more than counting reps. His approach integrates movement, breathing, food, emotions, and relationships into a comprehensive system for addressing the root causes that conventional approaches miss.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn into entrepreneurship as Aleks explains how his quest for clean, nutrient-dense snacks led to creating Bursky - meat sticks made from grass-fed, grass-finished beef, heart, and liver without the industrial additives hiding behind vague labels like "spices." From learning that citric acid comes from black mold to fighting manufacturers who insisted on shortcuts, his journey illuminates why getting real food to market is so challenging.
This isn't just another health podcast - it's a masterclass in seeing the human body as an integrated system where physical symptoms often point to deeper imbalances in how we think, feel, and relate to others.
BIG IDEA
When people are moving, they're also having somatic experiences where their emotions are stuck in muscles, and the moment someone realizes they need to break up with a toxic partner, their back pain can disappear instantly.

Mark Ennis's story reads like a medical impossibility, yet it's devastatingly real. From a 44-pound anorexic teenager whose heart stopped, to a 300-pound rugby player, to a suicidal man contemplating driving into a pole at 120 mph—his journey through the extremes of human suffering culminates in one of the most powerful testimonies about the connection between diet and mental health you'll ever hear.
In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Mark shares how three days on a carnivore diet eliminated decades of depression, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts. He reveals why he burned his nutrition certificates, how the medical system failed him repeatedly, and why he believes food addiction is behind the mental health crisis plaguing our world.
This isn't just another diet success story. It's a window into how our modern food environment creates the very problems our healthcare system claims to treat. Mark's transformation from a broken man to a thriving carnivore coach offers hope for anyone trapped in cycles of depression, eating disorders, or metabolic dysfunction.
Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald guide this profound discussion about the emerging science connecting metabolic health to mental wellness, the institutional barriers preventing this information from reaching those who need it most, and practical steps for anyone ready to reclaim their life through ancestral nutrition.
BIG IDEA
Within three days, my mental health issues were gone, my digestive issues were gone, I was more alert, I wasn't tired anymore, I had more energy—I was like, oh my God, this is insane.

Anthropologist Dr. Bill Schindler went from dangerous wrestling weight cuts to unlocking the secrets of human survival through food processing. In this conversation, he explains why every plant on Earth contains toxins, how our ancestors developed technologies to make food safe and nutritious, and why modern food processing has gone dangerously wrong.
Learn the truth about potatoes (hint: peel them), why fermentation was humanity's greatest innovation, and how a traditional restaurant is proving that ancestral food wisdom can work in the modern world. Schindler shares jaw-dropping stories from his travels with indigenous communities, from toxic manioc processing in Brazil to ancient cheese-making techniques that will change how you think about dairy.
This isn't about going paleo or living like a caveman. It's about understanding that we have 300,000-year-old bodies trying to survive in a modern food system that prioritizes profit over nutrition. The solution isn't going backward, but applying ancient wisdom to contemporary life.
Whether you're struggling with health issues, curious about human evolution, or simply want to understand why your relationship with food feels broken, this conversation provides answers that textbooks miss and doctors don't teach.
BIG IDEA
"We have literally over millions of years out eaten our digestive tract, and we require many of those technologies in our food system in order to transform raw materials into something that can actually nourish these bodies that we have today."

When Dr. Nouran Abdelkader developed vitiligo—a disfiguring autoimmune skin condition—the UK's top dermatologist told her there was no hope and no treatment. The disease would spread everywhere, he said. She'd have to live with it forever.
What happened next challenges everything we think we know about autoimmune disease, nutrition, and healing.
This emergency medicine doctor didn't just heal her vitiligo. She also resolved her lifelong asthma, eczema, chronic hives, ADHD symptoms, depression, panic attacks, and brain fog. Her IQ jumped from 110 to 137. Her diabetic sister reduced insulin from 70 units to 7 units daily.
The solution? She eliminated everything except meat, salt, and water.
Dr. Abdelkader shares her controversial journey from believing every medical guideline to questioning the entire system. She explains why she now feels guilty prescribing standard treatments, how she risks her medical license by sharing her experience, and why she believes most medical research serves profit over patients.
This isn't just another diet success story. It's a practicing physician's firsthand account of how the medical establishment fails patients with chronic disease—and what actually works when conventional medicine doesn't.
Her transformation raises uncomfortable questions: If meat heals while fruits and vegetables inflame, what else have we gotten wrong? Why can't doctors share successful treatments that contradict guidelines? And how many people are suffering needlessly because the system won't acknowledge inconvenient truths?
BIG IDEA
"We are made of meat, water, salt and trace elements—so if you eat what you are made of, you'll be fine, but if you eat something we're not made of, like vegetables or sugar, problems arise."

Dr. Ravi Kamepalli made a startling realization that changed everything: bacteria aren't the enemy. As both an infectious disease specialist and wound care physician, he witnessed firsthand how traditional medicine's war on microbes was failing patients catastrophically. In this profound conversation, he unveils his revolutionary "disease triangles" framework that connects our immune system, lipid metabolism, and microbiome in ways that transform how we understand healing.
The statistics he shares will shock you: diabetic foot amputations have a higher five-year mortality rate than breast cancer. While diabetes costs healthcare systems $237 billion annually compared to cancer's $80 billion, we're attacking symptoms instead of root causes. Dr. Kamepalli explains his concept of "energy toxicity" - how excess stored energy triggers inflammatory cascades that turn our own immune systems against us.
Through his personal journey of losing 50 pounds and dramatically reducing his LP(a) levels, he demonstrates that supposedly "genetic" markers are actually nutritionally modifiable. His approach integrates metabolic interventions with wound care, using continuous glucose monitoring, food logging, and remote patient tracking to address the underlying metabolic dysfunction that prevents healing.
This isn't just about wound care - it's about reimagining medicine itself. Dr. Kamepalli advocates for moving beyond "mass medicine mindset" toward personalized, n-of-one healthcare that empowers patients with tools, tracking, and understanding rather than simply prescribing interventions. His vision extends from revolutionizing American healthcare to building sustainable systems in rural India.
BIG IDEA
"We cannot kill bacteria and keep the humans alive - we need to learn how to survive together, and that survival depends on fixing our metabolic dysfunction, not declaring war on microbes."

Personal trainer and counseling psychology expert Alli Covington exposes the overlooked connection between mental health and metabolic dysfunction that's keeping millions trapped in cycles of weight gain and chronic disease. After watching her father follow every doctor's recommendation only to develop GERD, high cholesterol, diabetes, and die young despite compliance, Alli discovered the missing piece most fitness professionals ignore.
In this candid conversation, she breaks down her revolutionary approach that combines biochemistry knowledge with psychological intervention. Learn why thoughts literally trigger hormonal cascades that can sabotage metabolism, how anxiety creates cortisol storms at the cellular level, and why addressing trauma while exercising accelerates healing beyond traditional therapy.
Alli shares real client transformations, including her husband's 40-pound weight loss and a 60-year-old woman who reached her high school weight for the first time in decades by addressing deep-rooted anxiety. She also reveals why the bodybuilding community understood nutrition decades before medical professionals caught up, and how fixing gut health can resolve everything from ADHD symptoms to mood disorders.
Whether you're struggling with stubborn weight, mysterious digestive issues, or feel trapped by food addiction patterns, this interview provides a fresh framework for understanding how your mental state directly impacts your physical health.
BIG IDEA
If somebody's gained more than 20 pounds since their ideal weight, it wasn't on accident - there's some mental stuff going on, and we're using food to cope with some kind of pain.

An intensive care physician who has spent 20 years watching preventable diseases destroy lives shares the brutal reality of what metabolic dysfunction looks like in the ICU - and the simple steps that could keep you out of his unit entirely.
Dr. Kwadwo Carmen-Tang pulls no punches as he describes the devastating cycle he witnesses daily: patients arriving with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, then leaving weaker, traumatized, and fundamentally changed by their ICU experience. But here's what medical school never taught him - these conditions are often completely reversible.
In this raw conversation, Dr. K breaks down the single most powerful intervention that could transform your metabolic health, explains why hospital food is finally changing, and shares his frustration with a healthcare system that treats symptoms instead of root causes. From his work implementing real food initiatives in Canadian hospitals to his grassroots approach to changing medicine from within, this ICU veteran is fighting to make prevention the priority it should have always been.
Whether you're a healthcare provider looking for practical tools or someone who wants to take control of their health trajectory, this episode delivers actionable strategies that could literally save your life. The movement toward metabolic health is real, and Dr. K is proving that change is possible - one protein-focused meal at a time.
BIG IDEA
"If we could avoid even half a percent, 2% of ICU admissions through metabolic health, man that's putting a dent in so many people's lives."

Dr. Nasha Winters shares her extraordinary journey from being diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 19 to becoming a pioneering force in metabolic oncology. Given just months to live and unable to receive chemotherapy, she embarked on a quest to understand cancer that led to groundbreaking insights about its metabolic and mitochondrial origins.
Winters challenges the conventional genetic theory of cancer, explaining how our bodies' "terrain" - influenced by nutrition, stress, toxins, and lifestyle - creates an environment where cancer either thrives or struggles. She details how modern life's rapid changes overwhelm our mitochondria, potentially leading to cancer when these cellular powerhouses can't properly process information.
Most provocatively, Dr. Winters reveals how aggressive cancer treatments can sometimes strengthen cancer by killing weaker cells while allowing stronger ones to thrive. She advocates for a balanced approach combining targeted conventional treatments with strategies to strengthen the body's terrain.
The conversation explores her innovative projects including a metabolic cancer data platform, specialized supplements, a research laboratory, and plans for an integrative oncology hospital on an organic farm in Arizona - all designed to revolutionize how we understand and treat cancer.
BIG IDEA
Cancer isn't simply genetic bad luck but rather a metabolic disease influenced by our environment, nutrition, and lifestyle - and by understanding these factors, we can dramatically improve prevention and treatment outcomes.

In this compelling discussion, vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to share her journey from traditional surgical practice to metabolic health advocacy. After years of amputating limbs for diabetic patients who received poor nutritional guidance, Dr. Johnston couldn't unsee the devastating consequences of our healthcare system's approach to metabolic disease. She explains how surgeons fix anatomical problems without addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction that causes blood vessel disease throughout the body.
Dr. Johnston discusses how therapeutic carbohydrate reduction, hormone optimization, sleep quality, and stress management create better outcomes than surgery alone. She shares personal insights about her own health transformation through low-carb nutrition and her decision to create a practice balancing surgery with preventive care. The conversation reveals how traditional heart and vascular surgeries are temporary fixes that don't address root causes, leaving patients vulnerable to recurring problems.
This interview bridges the gap between conventional medicine and functional approaches to metabolic health, offering hope for those looking to avoid major surgical interventions through targeted lifestyle modifications.
BIG IDEA
Surgeons like Dr. Johnston and Dr. Ovadia have recognized that vascular and cardiac surgeries are temporary fixes—like placing buckets under a leaky roof rather than repairing the roof itself—and are now focusing on metabolic health interventions that address the root causes of disease.

Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda shares his groundbreaking approach to chronic pain management that centers on fixing metabolic dysfunction rather than simply masking symptoms with medication. Drawing from his background in anesthesiology, pain management, addiction medicine, and technology, Dr. Padda explains the underlying connection between chronic pain and metabolic inflammation. He details how his patients achieve extraordinary results—85-90% of type 2 diabetics resolving their condition within three months and dramatic reductions in pain medication needs within weeks—through targeting the root metabolic causes rather than treating symptoms.
Dr. Padda challenges conventional medical approaches, revealing how our healthcare system's perverse incentives often work against patient healing. He discusses how vegetable oils contribute to inflammation, reduced bonding hormones, and fertility issues, while explaining why pain management must address insulin resistance, omega fatty acid imbalances, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His innovative assessment tools help patients visualize their health status and track improvement, creating a path to healing that addresses the true causes of chronic pain.
BIG IDEA
In 99% of chronic pain cases, the reason pain recurs is that the underlying issue of metabolic dysfunction hasn't been fixed—not because patients have a deficiency of pain medication.

What happens when a physics graduate from the projects decides to return to professional boxing at age 40 after a nine-year hiatus? Ed Latimore's story defies every expectation you might have about both academic achievement and athletic excellence.
In this candid conversation, Latimore shares the brutal realities behind his comeback fight, the hidden health issues that were sabotaging his performance for years, and the scientific approach he used to optimize his body at an age when most athletes have long retired. From discovering his thyroid was working against him to uncovering respiratory problems that mimicked COPD, his journey illustrates how even the healthiest among us can have invisible barriers to peak performance.
But this isn't just a boxing story. Latimore articulates a philosophy that cuts straight to the heart of human limitation and choice. His insights about sacrifice, priority, and the mathematics of achievement apply whether you're trying to lose weight, build a business, or simply live with more intention.
The conversation weaves through his upcoming memoir "Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business," his transition from fighter to writer, and the biomechanical insights he gained that revolutionized his understanding of athletic performance. Along the way, he demonstrates why sometimes the most efficient path isn't the best path for creation, and how constraints can become the foundation for extraordinary achievement.
This is raw storytelling from someone who has lived at the intersection of intellectual rigor and physical combat, offering perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom about aging, health optimization, and what's actually possible when you refuse to accept limitations as permanent.

You can have anything you want, you just can't have everything you want.

In this riveting conversation, Dr. Stephen Riggs shares his remarkable journey from conventional primary care physician to pioneering metabolic health specialist. After 30 years of traditional practice, everything changed when his wife handed him "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung. Initially skeptical, Dr. Riggs tested the low-carb approach with his patients and witnessed transformations that defied his medical training: patients reversing type 2 diabetes, coming off insulin, and experiencing substantial weight loss in mere months.
Dr. Riggs reveals how he built a comprehensive metabolic health clinic within a traditional healthcare system by meticulously tracking patient outcomes and demonstrating remarkable cost savings—over $550,000 annually in medication reductions from just 220 patients. He discusses his "Low Carb Bootcamp" program that achieves a 73% diabetes reversal rate and how his team approach incorporates health coaches, nutritionists, and food addiction specialists.
Perhaps most fascinating is Dr. Riggs' observation that 95% of patients with food addiction see their addiction resolved within 8-12 weeks on a ketogenic diet—without specific addiction counseling. He offers practical insights on protein requirements, implementing lifestyle changes in America's heartland, and navigating resistance from colleagues and insurance companies.
This conversation offers a powerful glimpse into how evidence-based nutritional interventions are quietly revolutionizing healthcare from within the system, bringing joy back to medicine by truly healing patients rather than merely managing their decline.
BIG IDEA
"Nutrition went from being basically irrelevant to me—I got almost zero nutritional training, what little I did was probably wrong—and now it's the biggest tool in my toolbox by far."

In this candid conversation with Siouxie Boshoff, founder of Switch Sweets, we uncover the troubling truth behind food industry practices and ingredients. After struggling with health issues including a connective tissue disease and long-term Lyme, Siouxie began creating her own blood sugar-friendly gummy bears in her kitchen. What she discovered when trying to scale her homemade recipe to commercial production was shocking - manufacturers routinely use harmful chemicals while exploiting labeling loopholes to hide them from consumers.
Siouxie shares her battle to maintain product integrity against industry pressure to cut corners, revealing how "natural flavors" can contain numerous concerning additives, and how ingredients banned in Europe for health concerns remain common in American products. Despite significantly higher production costs, she refuses to compromise on quality, sourcing organic ingredients and rejecting harmful additives.
This conversation exposes the hidden health impacts of seemingly innocuous treats and demonstrates why having truly clean options matters - especially for those managing conditions like diabetes or epilepsy through diet. Whether you're following a ketogenic lifestyle or simply want to understand what's really in your food, this eye-opening discussion will transform how you read ingredient labels forever.
BIG IDEA
"I don't want a product that's going to spike your blood sugar - I want a product that's going to help somebody in their health journey, and I know what constant elevated insulin is going to do to a human body."

Dr. Scott Vrzal shares groundbreaking insights on how headaches serve as crucial warning signals from your body, revealing deeper health issues you might not know about. After suffering from debilitating headaches himself, Dr. Vrzal's journey led him to discover that most headaches aren't actually problems with your head at all – they're referred pain from other organs and systems in your body.
In this compelling conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, Dr. Vrzal explains how the location of your headache can pinpoint specific organ dysfunctions: right-sided headaches often indicate gallbladder issues, left-sided headaches suggest stomach problems, and tension headaches frequently point to thyroid dysfunction. This knowledge isn't just theoretical – Dr. Vrzal has used these connections to help patients who haven't found relief through conventional approaches.
Beyond headaches, Dr. Vrzal discusses how muscle testing, nutrition, and addressing emotional components play critical roles in achieving lasting wellness. His approach challenges conventional thinking by focusing on root causes rather than symptom management, offering viewers practical tools to interpret their own body's signals before they become serious health concerns.
Learn why Dr. Vrzal calls this "The Headache Advantage" and how understanding these connections could transform your approach to health, prevent unwanted symptoms, and possibly keep you off the operating table.
BIG IDEA
Most headaches are not problems with your head at all but are referred pain from other organs and systems in your body, serving as critical warning signals that something needs attention.

Dr. Thomas Weims, Professor at UC Santa Barbara, shares his revolutionary findings on treating polycystic kidney disease through ketogenic interventions. After 25 years of research, his lab accidentally discovered that ketosis dramatically halts and even reverses PKD progression—something previously thought impossible. The medical establishment had long maintained that PKD, a genetic disease affecting 600,000 Americans, was untreatable through dietary means. Yet Weims' research demonstrates that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary ketone produced during ketosis, shows more potent effects than any pharmacological intervention his team tested. In a groundbreaking clinical trial, patients on a ketogenic diet experienced improved kidney function and reduced kidney volume in just three months—the first time such reversal has ever been documented in PKD. Weims explains the science behind this therapeutic approach, how it challenges entrenched medical dogma, and why this metabolic therapy may benefit all forms of chronic kidney disease. This conversation exposes how decades of medical education about diet and kidney health have been based on hypothetical papers rather than clinical evidence, offering hope to millions suffering from progressive kidney conditions.
BIG IDEA
"What we found more recently is that the progression of polycystic kidney disease is not really driven by gene mutations as previously thought—a patient inherits a bad gene, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will have rapidly progressing PKD."

Dr. Ben Bocchcchio, a pioneer of slow resistance training since 1974, shares his revolutionary approach that delivers remarkable results in just 15 minutes, twice weekly. With over 50 years in exercise physiology, Dr. Bocchcchio explains how his method stimulates muscle fibers in ways conventional workouts can't match, leading to enhanced fat oxidation, increased insulin sensitivity, and improved metabolic health. Host Jack Heald, who experienced the program firsthand, describes the surprising intensity of these brief workouts and the visible body changes he's already witnessing. Dr. Bocchcchio challenges common fitness myths, explaining why most people misunderstand high-intensity exercise and how muscle tissue serves as an endocrine signaling system essential for longevity, brain health, and metabolic wellness. Learn how this scientifically-validated approach provides what Dr. Bocchcchio calls "80% of the most glorious anti-aging program" through carefully structured resistance training that produces maximal physiological benefits with minimal time investment.
BIG IDEA
The muscle system can demand that support systems work at their highest capacity and can increase their capacity and resilience with regard to health and resisting pathogens and viruses.

In this groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.
You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function. Dr. Salcedo explains how traditional gynecological approaches often miss the metabolic root causes of women's health issues, leading to band-aid solutions rather than addressing the underlying insulin resistance.
With her unique background as both an academic researcher and metabolic health advocate, Dr. Salcedo provides practical insights into how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve gynecological health without relying solely on medications or surgery. The conversation shatters common misconceptions about female health problems and offers a new framework for understanding women's bodies beyond the "just hormones" explanation.
Whether you're struggling with reproductive health issues, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to understand the intricacies of female health, this conversation offers vital information that most medical professionals aren't discussing. Listen now to discover why one in three women lose their uterus by age 60 – and what can be done to prevent it.
BIG IDEA
Gynecologic diseases like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids aren't just "female hormone problems" – they're manifestations of metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance that affect the entire body.

Sugar addiction is a legitimate biochemical addiction that affects about one-third of the population, is often rooted in childhood emotional self-soothing behaviors, and can be more challenging to overcome than alcohol or drug addiction because it's socially acceptable and starts at a very young age.
KISMET
When individuals successfully overcome sugar addiction, their most valued improvement isn't weight loss but rather enhanced cognitive function - including better focus, improved memory, and reduced anxiety - as their "brain comes back online" after healing from the neurological impacts of chronic sugar consumption.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Mike Collins, known as "The Sugar Free Man," about the reality of sugar addiction and its impacts on metabolic and mental health. Collins explains how sugar addiction often begins in childhood as a form of emotional self-soothing that becomes wired into the brain's reward system. He reveals that about one-third of people are biochemically addicted to sugar, setting up cravings they cannot control through willpower alone. Collins shares that many recovering alcoholics and drug addicts report quitting sugar is actually harder than overcoming their primary addiction. The podcast explores the physical and psychological aspects of sugar addiction, including how abstinence for 90 days can allow the brain to heal and create new neural pathways. Collins also discusses how artificial sweeteners keep sugar cravings alive by maintaining the sweet taste sensation. The conversation highlights how sugar addiction recovery involves addressing emotional triggers and finding healthier self-soothing mechanisms beyond just changing eating habits.

The primary cause of metabolic dysfunction is not carbohydrates themselves but rather the combination of processed "naked" sugars and high linoleic acid seed oils that damage mitochondrial function at a cellular level.
KISMET
While most people focus on limiting carbohydrates to improve metabolic health, the research actually shows that fruit juice and honey can improve insulin sensitivity in some diabetics due to their complex chemical structures that positively influence gut bacteria – completely contradicting conventional wisdom about sugar.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Dr. Paul Saladino shares his evidence-based perspective on the true causes of metabolic dysfunction. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates themselves don't cause insulin resistance. Instead, the primary culprits are processed "naked" sugars that disrupt gut bacteria and seed oils high in linoleic acid that damage mitochondrial membranes. These damaged membranes lead to energy production inefficiency at the cellular level, which manifests as various metabolic disorders. Dr. Saladino explains how the standard American diet contains 5-10 times more linoleic acid than our ancestors consumed, primarily from seed oils in processed foods. He argues that returning to single-ingredient foods and specifically reducing linoleic acid intake could rapidly improve metabolic health. The discussion challenges conventional medical wisdom about cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and the treatment of metabolic disorders.

In this landmark 200th episode of "Stay Off My Operating Table," Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald sit down with investigative journalist Gary Taubes, whose work fundamentally changed Dr. Ovadia's approach to medicine and personal health. Taubes recounts his journey from physics journalism to nutrition science, where he discovered a field plagued by confirmation bias and reluctance to challenge established beliefs. He explains the profound difference between observational studies that merely suggest correlations and clinical trials that can prove causation, highlighting how the conventional wisdom on nutrition persists despite mounting contradictory evidence. The conversation explores why nutritional science has remained resistant to correction for decades while fields like physics quickly abandon disproven theories. Taubes discusses the compelling evidence supporting low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets and questions why the medical establishment continues to recommend diets rich in whole grains when many thrive without them. This thought-provoking discussion challenges listeners to distinguish between "diet by hypothesis" and "diet by experience" while examining the profound impact nutritional policy has had on public health.
BIG IDEA
The conventional nutrition advice we've received for decades is based on observational studies showing what healthy people eat rather than experimental evidence showing which diets actually make people healthier when tested.

Mycotoxins (mold toxins) are frequently overlooked causes of numerous chronic health conditions including autoimmune disorders, neurological diseases, and heart problems, and proper testing and treatment can lead to remarkable recovery for patients who have suffered for years with no answers.
KISMET
The World Health Organization refers to mycotoxins as "the great masquerader of this century" because they mimic so many other diseases, leading doctors to frequently misdiagnose patients and treat symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Dr. Andrew Campbell, a physician with extensive experience treating medical consequences of mold and environmental toxins. Dr. Campbell explains how mycotoxins (mold toxins) are frequently overlooked causes of numerous chronic health conditions. These microscopic toxins can enter the bloodstream through the lungs, cross the blood-brain barrier, and cause widespread inflammation and cell death. Mycotoxins have been linked to autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions like MS and Alzheimer's, heart rhythm problems, chronic fatigue, and even certain cancers. The main idea is that many patients suffering with chronic conditions may actually be dealing with mold toxicity. Dr. Campbell outlines his four-step approach to treatment: removing the source of mold, using antifungal medication, taking specific supplements, and following an anti-inflammatory diet. Dramatic before-and-after photos demonstrate remarkable patient recoveries from conditions like psoriasis and skin cancer after proper mycotoxin treatment.

The main idea is that a carnivore diet can resolve chronic inflammation and health issues that conventional approaches like calorie restriction cannot, as demonstrated by JT's personal experience and experiments.
KISMET
JT discovered that while on a carnivore diet, he could consume up to 4,500 calories daily without gaining weight, contradicting conventional weight management theories that focus primarily on calorie counts rather than food quality.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Carnivore JT, a former sports medicine professional and fitness trainer who once firmly believed that weight management was simply about "calories in, calories out." JT shares how his health declined in his thirties despite following conventional dietary advice, then dramatically improved after adopting a carnivore diet. His personal transformation included the elimination of lifelong eczema, psoriasis, acne, and joint pain from previous sports injuries.
JT discusses his self-experiments comparing carnivore eating with standard American diet consumption, finding he could eat far more calories on carnivore without weight gain. He addresses how scientific research is often influenced by industry funding, making it difficult for consumers to find unbiased information. The main idea that emerges is that food quality matters more than calorie counting, and a meat-based diet can resolve chronic inflammation issues that conventional approaches cannot address.

The primary idea is that changing your nutrition can heal both physical and mental health issues by removing interferences that block the body's natural ability to heal itself.
KISMET
While many people associate obesity with visible weight gain, Ben shares that although he was clinically obese at 34% body fat, most people wouldn't have recognized him as such due to his height and body type—suggesting that "hidden obesity" may be more common than we realize.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Ben Azadi shares his journey from being obese, depressed, and suicidal to achieving optimal health by changing his nutrition and mindset. He explains how his severe depression lifted as a side effect of improving his physical health. Ben discusses the concept that our bodies have an innate ability to heal if we remove interferences like high insulin levels, seed oils, and environmental toxins. He emphasizes that changing your self-image is crucial for sustainable health improvements, as "you will never outperform your self-image." Ben reveals how insulin resistance develops 6-14 years before blood sugar problems appear, making fasting insulin testing critical for early detection. He also discusses how restaurants are beginning to return to cooking with natural fats instead of seed oils. The conversation highlights how symptoms are simply the body's "check engine light" signaling something needs attention, rather than problems requiring medication to suppress.

The healthcare system is complex and challenging to navigate, especially for seniors and their caregivers, but preparation and knowledge can help you maintain control, advocate effectively, and achieve better outcomes during healthcare transitions.
KISMET
While most assume senior care facilities and nursing homes operate based on modern nutritional science, many still follow outdated dietary guidelines based on the food pyramid, which may negatively impact metabolic health when seniors need more protein and healthy fats for optimal recovery and function.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, master's prepared nurse Cheryl Field shares insights from her 36 years of experience in senior care. She discusses how understanding the healthcare system can help aging adults maintain control during transitions like emergency room visits and hospital stays. Field explains the critical differences between traditional Medicare and managed care options that seniors must navigate when turning 65. She offers practical advice on preparing for healthcare events, including what to bring to the emergency room and how to approach rehabilitation stays positively. Field emphasizes the importance of advance directives, creating a supportive home environment, and embracing a mindset that accepts assistance when needed. The conversation also explores how improved nutrition and metabolic health can benefit both seniors and their caregivers, potentially reducing medication dependence and improving quality of life.

Courtney Luna's personal transformation from a lifelong yo-yo dieter to a healthier person through a carnivore diet has not only helped her lose 55 pounds but also significantly improved her mental health, allowing her to discontinue anxiety medication.
KISMET
Despite facing intense criticism online only after removing vegetables from her diet (not when sharing her previous diets), Courtney's carnivore cookbook has found unexpected success among non-carnivore households, where picky eaters are enjoying her meat-centric recipes.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald talk with Courtney Luna, author of "Carnivore in the Kitchen." Courtney shares her journey from being a yo-yo dieter since age 13 to finding success with a carnivore diet. After trying numerous diets including paleo and keto, she gained 40 pounds in four months when attempting to eat "everything in moderation." Her switch to a carnivore diet led to a 55-pound weight loss, improved mental health, and freedom from anxiety medication. Courtney discusses how she manages this way of eating with her family, teaching her children about nutrition while giving them some freedom with food choices. She explains how her cooking background as a yacht chef helped her create her cookbook, which includes creative recipes using ingredients like pork panko (ground pork rinds) to make everything from chicken nuggets to cinnamon rolls. Courtney also addresses the surprising online backlash she received only after removing vegetables from her diet.

Roxana Soetebeer, once considered a "hopeless" type 2 diabetic on 50 units of insulin, completely reversed her condition through a ketogenic diet, demonstrating that type 2 diabetes is not the "chronic progressive disease" her doctors claimed it to be.
KISMET
When Roxana's blood sugar levels dangerously spiked to the 400s, her desperate late-night call to a friend led to a life-changing recommendation to watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet – a coincidence that completely transformed her health trajectory and sparked her mission to help others.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Roxana Soetebeer shares her remarkable journey from severe type 2 diabetes to complete remission. After being told her condition was "chronic and progressive," Roxana found herself with dangerously high blood sugar levels around 400. In a desperate moment, a friend recommended she watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet. Within days of starting keto, Roxana saw dramatic improvements. She cut her insulin dose in half immediately and eventually eliminated it completely. Beyond diabetes reversal, her kidney disease, fatty liver disease (NASH), and acid reflux resolved as well. Roxana discusses her struggle with sugar addiction, comparing it to other substance addictions and explaining why "moderation" fails for true addicts. Now a certified Metabolic Health Practitioner, she runs a Facebook group with over 20,000 members and advocates for others. Her story challenges the conventional medical approach that treats metabolic conditions as inevitable, progressive diseases requiring lifelong medication.

Environmental toxins cause epigenetic changes that make fat cells malfunction, leading to obesity that is difficult to reverse through diet alone.
KISMET
The average newborn baby has over 200 toxic chemicals in their placental blood before they take their first breath, and laboratory animals on strictly controlled diets are getting fatter despite no changes to their food intake.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this compelling episode, pulmonologist Dr. Stewart Lonky shares groundbreaking insights about why traditional approaches to weight loss often fail. Drawing from his book "Outsmarting Obesity," he explains how environmental toxins cause fat cells to malfunction, making weight management increasingly difficult. Dr. Lonky reveals that fat cells are actually endocrine organs that become dysfunctional when they grow too large, leading to reduced oxygen absorption and improper hormone signaling. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when he discusses how common household items like non-stick cookware, air fresheners, and even stain-resistant fabrics contribute to obesity through chemicals called obesogens. These substances trigger epigenetic changes that can affect weight regulation for multiple generations. Dr. Lonky offers practical solutions through his AIPE protocol (Accept, Identify, Prevent, Eliminate) and explains how specific compounds like zeolites can help remove toxic substances from the body.

CrowdHealth is revolutionizing healthcare by creating a community-funded alternative to traditional insurance, where members pay cash for medical services at significantly lower rates while maintaining high-quality care.
KISMET
While most would assume large insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare (the 7th largest company by revenue globally) would negotiate the best rates, CrowdHealth members are actually securing medical procedures at about 50% of what insurance companies pay - typically around 130-140% of Medicare rates compared to insurance companies' 250-300%.
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this compelling interview, Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, explains how his company is disrupting traditional healthcare financing. After a personal experience with insurance denying coverage for his daughter's medical procedure, Schoonover discovered that paying cash for healthcare services often costs significantly less than using insurance. CrowdHealth now serves 10,000 members who fund each other's healthcare needs, having processed 20,000 bills over three years. Members typically pay half what traditional insurance costs, without networks or complex paperwork. The company has successfully handled major medical events, including a $1 million emergency that was negotiated down to $200,000. CrowdHealth is also pioneering a new approach to wellness by offering discounts to metabolically healthy members, creating financial incentives for maintaining good health. The community aspect encourages members to make cost-conscious healthcare decisions, as they're helping fellow members rather than faceless insurance companies.

EPISODE SUMMARY
After a successful career in clinical practice, Dr. Chris Knobbe's personal experience with dietary changes led him to investigate the root causes of AMD, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50. His research revealed a startling pattern: age-related chronic disease was extremely rare before the widespread introduction of processed vegetable oils into the food supply. Through analysis of data from 25 nations, he found that as vegetable oil consumption increased, all age-related chronic disease rates rates rose in parallel.
NOTABLE QUOTE
"Between 1851 and about 1930, there were no more than about 50 cases of AMD in all the world's literature. And just to put that in perspective, in 2020, it was estimated there were 196 million cases of AMD."

Living in a constant state of stress and unworthiness triggered genetic changes that led to disease, while conscious lifestyle choices and emotional healing reversed those conditions.
KISMET
Research shows that emotional trauma can be passed down through generations via genetic markers, but positive lifestyle changes can create new neural pathways that override these inherited patterns - as demonstrated in mice studies where fear responses were inherited but could be rewired.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Dr. Kien Vuu, an interventional radiologist, shares his transformation from being overweight, diabetic, and on multiple medications to achieving optimal health through lifestyle changes. Despite his medical expertise, Dr. Vuu found himself trapped in a cycle of stress-driven behaviors that stemmed from childhood experiences as a Vietnamese refugee. He explains how our cells constantly respond to our environment, thoughts, and emotions, affecting how our genes express themselves. This process, known as epigenetics, means that while we inherit certain genetic tendencies, we can influence their expression through five key areas: physical health (sleep, nutrition, movement), mental state, emotional well-being, social connections, and sense of purpose. Dr. Vuu describes how addressing underlying emotional patterns and trauma can make healthy choices easier to maintain. The episode explores the fascinating connection between psychological well-being and cellular health, offering hope that conscious lifestyle changes can reverse chronic health conditions.

For women struggling with sudden onset depression, anxiety, or mood swings, this episode could be life-changing.
Danielle Stanton, a former school counselor with a master's in mental health, shares how her world turned upside down at age 39 when she began experiencing severe depression and anxiety. Despite multiple hospitalizations and numerous psychiatric medications, her condition only worsened.
The breakthrough came when a functional medicine doctor checked her hormone levels - something previous doctors had overlooked. Her progesterone and testosterone were at zero, indicating perimenopause was the root cause.
Through bioidentical hormone therapy, improved sleep habits, and targeted nutrition, she achieved complete recovery without psychiatric medications.

Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar Inc. and son of legendary motivator Zig Ziglar, shares his personal health journey and the mindset principles that led to his success. After years of carrying extra weight, Tom made a simple commitment to 30 minutes of daily movement. While exercise alone didn't lead to weight loss, reading Dr. Ovadia's book helped him understand the missing piece - proper nutrition with adequate healthy fats. By applying the Ziglar performance formula of Attitude x Effort x Skill = Performance to his health journey, Tom lost 25 pounds and reduced his waist size from 47.5 to 39 inches. He emphasizes that lasting change requires feeding both the mind (through continuous learning) and the mitochondria (through proper nutrition). Tom's approach shows that sustainable health transformation comes from replacing bad habits with good ones while maintaining the right mindset through daily education and inspiration.

While fish oil supplements are widely promoted for brain health, the brain only needs 2-6mg of DHA per day, and the typical fish oil capsule provides 600mg - a massive 40-100x overdose that can deplete crucial antioxidants.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Professor Brian Peskin, an MIT-trained engineer turned medical researcher, presents groundbreaking insights about essential fatty acids and cellular health.
He explains that 25-33% of our cell membranes are made up of parent essential oils (PEOs) - primarily parent omega-6 and parent omega-3. When these essential building blocks are replaced with processed oils or excessive fish oil supplements, it impairs cellular oxygen absorption and energy production, leading to chronic inflammation.
This cellular dysfunction underlies many modern diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Contrary to popular belief, properly sourced organic omega-6 oils are not inflammatory - rather, it's the processing of these oils that creates harmful compounds. Peskin details how getting the right balance of unprocessed parent omega-6 and omega-3 oils, while avoiding processed versions, can help reduce inflammation, improve blood pressure, and even reverse coronary calcium buildup. He emphasizes the importance of organic oils and supplements to counteract the ubiquitous processed oils in our food supply.

The health of your gut microbiome, particularly the presence of beneficial bacteria and absence of harmful bacteria in the small intestine, plays a crucial role in heart disease prevention and treatment.
KISMET
Recent research shows that when beneficial gut bacteria produce oxytocin, it not only improves heart health but also helps reduce social isolation and increases empathy - suggesting that gut health could play a role in addressing societal division and mental health issues.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Dr. William Davis, a former cardiologist, explains how traditional heart disease treatments focusing on cholesterol and statin drugs have failed to reduce cardiovascular events significantly. He presents compelling evidence that gut health, particularly the presence of harmful bacteria in the small intestine (SIBO), contributes to heart disease through a process called endotoxemia. The solution involves restoring beneficial bacteria, especially Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus gasseri, through fermented foods and supplements. These bacteria help prevent harmful bacteria from moving into the small intestine while producing beneficial compounds that support heart health. Additionally, Dr. Davis emphasizes the importance of key nutrients often missing in modern diets: vitamin D, magnesium, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids. He shares how recent clinical trials demonstrate that high-dose omega-3 supplementation can actually reverse coronary plaque buildup. The interview challenges conventional medical wisdom and offers practical, natural solutions for preventing and reversing heart disease.

While most assume leaving traditional practice means seeing fewer patients and making less money, Dr. Lenzkes revealed he was able to pay back all his loans in the first year of his new practice model - demonstrating that patient-centered care can be financially viable while improving doctor satisfaction and patient outcomes.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Dr. Brian Lenzkes shares his journey from a traditional insurance-based medical practice to a direct primary care model, highlighting the fundamental problems in today's healthcare system. In his previous practice, he struggled to provide quality care while seeing 20-22 patients daily, dealing with endless paperwork, and fighting insurance companies. The breaking point came when he realized the system rewarded sicker patients rather than preventing illness. Now practicing direct primary care, he sees 6-10 patients daily, spending quality time with each one and focusing on metabolic health and prevention. The transition required courage and initially meant a pay cut, but resulted in better patient care, improved work-life balance, and professional satisfaction. Dr. Lenzkes explains how direct primary care reduces costs for patients while allowing doctors to practice medicine the way they envisioned. The conversation reveals how the traditional medical system contributes to physician burnout and high suicide rates, while alternative models like direct primary care offer hope for both doctors and patients.

While most meditation retreats and spiritual practices promote vegetarian or vegan diets, Rabbi Moffic discovered that a meat-based diet actually enhanced his meditation practice and mental clarity, offering a surprising counterpoint to traditional spiritual dietary wisdom.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Rabbi Evan Moffic shares his transformative journey from struggling with chronic stomach issues and brain fog to finding clarity and improved health through a carnivore diet. As a Reform Rabbi, he navigates the interesting intersection between traditional Jewish dietary laws and modern nutrition. The episode explores how eliminating plant foods helped him write more efficiently, improved his meditation practice, and enhanced his ability to connect with his congregation. Rabbi Moffic discusses the challenges of maintaining his dietary choices while fulfilling religious obligations, particularly during Jewish holidays that traditionally center around bread and wine. He explains how he balances his religious duties with his health needs, using the Jewish principle of pikuach nefesh (preservation of life) to guide his choices. The conversation delves into the psychological benefits of dietary simplification, the historical context of Jewish dietary laws, and how a meat-based diet has positively impacted his spiritual practice and professional life.

While organ meats are often thought of as "detox" organs that store toxins, they actually transform toxins into water-soluble compounds that the body can eliminate. Any excess toxins are stored in fat tissue, not in the organs themselves - making quality organ meats safe and incredibly nutritious.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Celebrity chef James Barry shares his journey from cooking for stars like Tom Cruise and George Clooney to creating Pluck, an innovative organ meat seasoning. After his daughter's serious illness, Barry wanted to find ways to add more nutrient-dense foods to his family's diet. He combined his culinary expertise with the traditional wisdom of organ meat consumption to develop a seasoning that makes these vital nutrients accessible to everyone. The product contains liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas sourced from New Zealand grass-fed cattle, combined with organic herbs and spices. Barry explains how organ meats are nature's multivitamin, containing essential nutrients often missing from modern diets. The seasoning works through its natural umami flavor to enhance any dish while delivering concentrated organ meat nutrition. Whether sprinkled on eggs, mixed into smoothies, or added to pet food, this versatile product offers an easy way to incorporate organ meat benefits without the typical taste and texture barriers.

While most people focus on cholesterol numbers, the real cardiovascular risk comes from hormone imbalances triggering inflammation. The body actually increases cholesterol production during menopause to try to make more hormones - but it's the underlying hormone deficiency, not the cholesterol, that raises heart disease risk.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Dr. Jay Wrigley, a functional medicine physician with 29 years of experience in hormonal biochemistry, shares groundbreaking insights about the connection between hormone balance, metabolic health, and heart disease risk. He explains how the dramatic hormonal changes during menopause can trigger inflammation and increase cardiovascular risk if not properly managed. The episode explores why traditional hormone replacement therapy using synthetic hormones can be problematic, while bioidentical hormones in physiological doses may be protective. Dr. Wrigley emphasizes that metabolic health through proper diet and lifestyle is crucial - especially during hormonal transitions. He challenges conventional wisdom about cholesterol and discusses why common blood tests like TSH may not tell the full story. The conversation provides practical strategies for optimizing hormone balance naturally through stress management, proper nutrition, and metabolic health, potentially helping listeners avoid serious health issues as they age.

After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age 23, Chef Talmor embarked on a decade-long journey to health through dietary changes, eventually discovering the benefits of a ketogenic diet. His experience led him to develop a new approach to cooking that emphasizes high-quality animal proteins and natural fats while eliminating processed oils and sugars.
The discussion covers crucial topics including the superiority of cooking with traditional fats like beef tallow, the importance of quality in meat selection, and how removing sugar from one's diet can enhance natural food flavors. Chef Talmor also addresses the misconception that ketogenic eating is expensive or complicated, sharing practical tips for making healthy cooking accessible and enjoyable.

While most physicians receive only two weeks of nutrition education focused mainly on vitamin deficiencies, Dr. Reller's early exposure to nutrition came from her mother's college nutrition background, which helped shape her eventual path toward metabolic health despite traditional medical training.
Dr. Kerry Reller, a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, shares her transition from electrical engineering to medicine and her approach to incorporating metabolic health principles into a traditional insurance-based practice. She explains how she navigates insurance requirements while still providing comprehensive care, including longer appointment times and detailed lab work analysis. The discussion highlights the challenges of working within the traditional medical system while addressing root causes of metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Reller emphasizes the importance of taking time to understand patient habits, from coffee additives to daily routines, that impact metabolic health. She addresses the concerning rise in childhood metabolic issues, sharing personal experiences as both a physician and parent dealing with school nutrition challenges. The conversation explores the barriers preventing more doctors from adopting metabolic health approaches, including limited awareness and medical education focused primarily on medication-based solutions rather than prevention.

Dr. Ryan Cooley's journey from a heart attack survivor to a pioneer in metabolic health is nothing short of transformative. After following conventional medical advice and still suffering a heart attack, Dr. Cooley began questioning the lipid hypothesis and delving into how diet and lifestyle can influence genetic predispositions. With a special focus on insulin resistance and cardiac health, he shares his insights and personal experiences, challenging the prevailing norms and shedding light on new approaches to preventing heart disease.
In this episode, we dig into the complex relationship between insulin resistance, visceral fat, and cardiovascular diseases like atrial fibrillation. Dr. Cooley explains how fat accumulation around vital organs triggers inflammatory responses and arrhythmias, advocating for a focus on metabolic health over merely lowering LDL cholesterol levels. His personal and clinical observations provide a compelling argument for a more holistic approach to managing heart health, emphasizing the often-overlooked role of cardiac fat.
We explore the nuances of reversing insulin resistance and the difficulties of diagnosing ectopic fat, often invisible from the outside. Dr. Cooley shares his transition from a vegan diet to a keto vegetarian and nearly carnivore diet, leading to improved lipid profiles and overall heart health. The discussion extends to the importance of satiety, specific medical tests, and the future of cardiometabolic care, including plans for a clinic centered on lifestyle interventions. Tune in to learn how these insights can pave the way for better preventive measures in heart disease management.
Key Takeaways
- Over 90% of arrhythmia patients show insulin resistance
- Fat accumulation around heart tissue directly impacts heart rhythm
- Traditional treatments often miss the metabolic root cause
- Dietary changes can improve or resolve heart rhythm issues

Two entrepreneurs created a preservative-free, clean meat snack company -Joburg Meats - that produces traditional South African biltong using only beef, apple cider vinegar, salt, and spices - making it ideal for low-carb and health-conscious consumers.
Yuda Holzburg and Joseph Baumgargen of Joburg Meats are bringing traditional South African biltong to the American market with a focus on clean ingredients and quality sourcing.
Unlike conventional jerky, which is cooked with sugars and preservatives, their biltong is naturally cured for two weeks using only beef, apple cider vinegar, salt, and spices. The meat comes from pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle from South America, where traditional farming practices are still the norm.
The conversation takes an interesting turn when Chief Product Officer Jon Engleson shares his personal experience of losing 10 pounds in one week simply by switching from eating babka (a sweet bread) to biltong for breakfast.
The company is expanding their line to include new flavors like Korean BBQ and truffle, plus developing clean versions of traditional salamis without nitrates or preservatives.
Did You Know...?
One of the founders was originally a tech professional who also practiced as an energy healer and EMT for 15 years. This unexpected background led him to be particularly conscious about creating clean, additive-free products, as he had developed sensitivity to testing food quality through his healing work.

"You kind of muscle test each product. You're like, is this really good? Is this really not good? And you test and nope, no good. I'm like, okay I'm going to need it anyway. Okay. When it came to this biltong, I was introduced to it. And I don't know why subconsciously I did a muscle test and asked, is this a good product? Is this healthy for me? And I got a confirmed solid yes."

This episode features the remarkable story of Mimi Morgan, a 70-year-old woman who overcame multiple severe health conditions through dietary changes. Despite battling rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and life-threatening infections, Mimi defied medical expectations and regained her health.
For decades, Mimi followed trendy low-fat, plant-based diets, which she now believes contributed to her declining health. After being hospitalized multiple times and told she had little hope for recovery, Mimi decided to radically change her approach to food. She adopted a high-fat, low-carb diet, eventually transitioning to a carnivore and then a "lion diet" consisting primarily of animal products.
Within months of changing her diet, Mimi began experiencing significant improvements in her symptoms. She was able to wean herself off all medications and regain her mobility and energy. Now at 70, Mimi feels healthier than ever before and is training to walk 500 miles across Spain.
Mimi's story highlights the potential impact of nutrition on health and challenges conventional medical wisdom about managing chronic diseases. Her experience suggests that dietary changes may offer hope for some patients facing seemingly intractable health conditions.

What if the way we source our food is putting our health and national security at risk? Bold statement, but Texas Slim, a pivotal figure in the Beef Initiative, argues that our centralized food systems are doing just that. Join us as we reconnect with Texas Slim, who’s been on a mission across the U.S. and beyond, advocating for regenerative beef and decentralized access to quality food. He shares his eye-opening journey, rooted in his background in agricultural poverty and big tech, and how it led him to expose the alarming rise of food deserts in America.
Facing the might of multinational corporations, independent ranchers are struggling against regulatory capture that strips them of their autonomy. We dive into the efforts spearheaded by the Beef Initiative to combat these obstacles and restore food security. Hear from experts like Brooke Miller, a seventh-generation rancher, on the significant progress made in decentralizing our food system despite these challenges. This segment underscores the critical importance of building resilient, community-based food networks and the steps we've taken over the past two years.
However, the complexities don't end there. Despite abundant local cattle, much of it is exported while we import foreign beef and pork. Texas Slim sheds light on the paradox created by multinational corporations and government policies, including the troubling shift toward fake proteins and changes in food labeling laws. Learn how the Beef Initiative empowers individuals to make informed choices, fostering stronger connections with local producers. We also spotlight the upcoming Cattleman's Feast in Nashville, a celebration of community and quality beef that underscores our mission to reclaim control over our food sources.

Reed Davis, the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, shares his expertise on the underlying causes of health issues and how functional medicine approaches these problems by identifying and then addressing what he terms "metabolic chaos" – the complex interplay of multiple causal factors that contribute to illness.
We delve into the limitations of traditional allopathic medicine in addressing root causes, as it often focuses on symptom relief rather than uncovering the true sources of health problems. Davis explains that every symptom has a cause or causal factor, and that functional diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in identifying hidden stressors and dysfunctions that may be contributing to an individual's health issues.
One of the key insights shared by Davis is the significance of nutrition in supporting optimal health. He stresses that nutrition is the ultimate medicine and must be tailored to an individual's unique nutritional requirements based on factors such as genetics and oxidative rates. By providing the body with the proper fuel and removing obstacles to healing, functional diagnostic nutrition aims to support the body's innate intelligence and desire to heal.
Throughout the podcast, Davis and host Dr. Philip Ovadia explore various aspects of functional diagnostic nutrition, including the role of hormones, immune function, digestion, detoxification, energy production, and the nervous system in overall health. They also discuss the concept of "biochemical individuality" and how it influences dietary needs.
This engaging podcast offers listeners a deep dive into the world of functional diagnostic nutrition, providing valuable insights and practical tips for optimizing health and addressing the underlying causes of illness. By understanding the concept of metabolic chaos and the importance of individualized nutrition, listeners can take proactive steps towards achieving optimal wellness.

Jeff Davis survived a massive heart attack at 63 and went on to win four world wrestling titles in his late 60s by embracing a metabolic health approach through diet, exercise, reduced medication, and mindfulness.
"I believe we can reduce the whole cardiac industry if we can focus more on metabolic health, but there's not a lot of money in salads." - Jeff Davis
Jeff Davis, 63, survived a massive "widowmaker" heart attack thanks to a nearby medical facility. Determined to regain his health, he embarked on a transformative journey:
- Overhauling his diet
- Focusing on exercise
- Reducing medication reliance
- Embracing mindfulness
Jeff adopted a low-carb, high-fat diet rich in fresh produce and healthy proteins, cutting out sugar and processed foods. He gradually incorporated exercise, starting with short walks and progressing to intense training sessions.
Under his doctor's guidance, Jeff minimized his prescription drugs as his lifestyle habits improved. He also discovered the importance of prayer and meditation for mental resilience.
Remarkably, two years after his heart attack, Jeff returned to wrestling. At 65, he began competing and went on to win four world championships in his late 60s.
Today, Jeff inspires others to prioritize their health through social media, podcasts, and his upcoming YouTube channel, "Jeff Davis GLA" (Great Life Adventure). He hopes to motivate a million people to embrace healthier lifestyles and increase longevity.
Jeff's story reminds us that it's never too late to transform our health and live our best lives. By focusing on metabolic health, staying active, and cultivating a positive mindset, we can all work towards a brighter future.

In this podcast, Peter Ballerstedt, a forage agronomist and ruminant nutritionist, challenges conventional wisdom about animal agriculture's role in human health and sustainable food production. He argues that ruminant animals, like cows, sheep, and goats, are crucial for converting inedible plant material into nutrient-dense food for humans while improving soil health and biodiversity.
Ballerstedt explains ruminants' unique digestive process, which allows them to thrive on a forage-only diet. Microorganisms in their rumen break down cellulose, converting it into fatty acids and microbial protein that the animal can absorb and use.
He believes current dietary guidelines promoting plant-based diets may be misguided, as populations consuming less than 30% of calories from animal-sourced foods face increased nutrient deficiencies. Animal foods provide essential nutrients in a highly bioavailable form.
Ballerstedt argues for increased animal-sourced food consumption across all populations to improve global health and address nutrient deficiencies. While acknowledging environmental concerns, he highlights the benefits of properly managed grazing on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.
Looking ahead, Ballerstedt sees ruminant animal agriculture as a solution to nourishing a growing population while protecting the planet, envisioning a future where well-nourished individuals collaborate to solve global issues. His insights challenge listeners to reconsider assumptions about food production and recognize ruminants' vital role in creating a healthier, more sustainable future.

Like many people who reach their mid-40s, Robin Switzer was sick and tired of being sick and tired. She switched to a ketogenic diet, lost a lot of weight and felt more mental clarity. But that was just the beginning of her transformation; it sparked a complete revolution in her career and life.
At the time, Robin was a banking execute making very good money. But she wanted to do something more meaningful with the second half of her life, something that mattered more than helping bankers make more money. That decision led her into an extraordinary second act.
She initially got involved in the keto community through Ketocon. After a few years, she bought out the owners of the conference and rebranded the event to Hack Your Health.
As popular as the title "Keto" has become, she wanted the event's name to more accurately reflect its focus on health optimization and not just on the keto diet.
Robin shares with us the challenges she's faced to maintain the event's integrity. Turns out, plenty of companies are willing to throw money at the "keto market" even though their products are not remotely healthy. (Whoda thunk it?)
She makes it a matter of personal responsibility to ensure that every company and presenter at the conference aligns with her mission to provide an authentic, health-focused forum for all who attend.
This episode let's you know what to expect if you're joining us in person or tuning in from afar. Robin's invitation to take action for your health today is not just a call to action; it's a beacon of hope for those ready to transform their lives. Don't miss this power-packed episode that might just be the nudge you need to embark on your own health journey.

They call the diet "Banting" in South Africa, in honor of the man who first proposed the ketogenic diet more than 100 years ago. Chef Jonno Proudfoot helped to popularize not just the term but the diet itself when he swam from Mozambique to Madagascar in the same year he released a Cook Book along with the legendary Tim Noakes. That confluence of circumstances spurred a nationwide movement towards a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle.
Proudfoot narrates his story with a dash of history, a pinch of socio-political context, and a sprinkle of media influence. Jonno provides practical tips for those attempting the delicate balance of promoting a healthy lifestyle without commercializing it.
It's a conversation rich with tales from the kitchen to the coastline.

Have you ever stood at the edge of life, teetering between the will to live and the temptation to end it all? Kevin Hines faced this chilling reality when he leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge, only to embrace life fiercely during his fall.
In this astonishing conversation with Kevin, he describes the raw emotions and struggles with bipolar depression that brought him to the brink of death, the miraculous series of "coincidences" that saved him, and the extraordinary new life he has discovered on "the other side."
Through his own battles with nutrition and gut health, Kevin connects "mind" with "body" as he explains how our physical health affects our mental state, and vice versa.
Kevin says we each have a tale to tell, a personal narrative that can shake the world. His message is clear: life's value is immeasurable, and hope is a lifeline we can extend to one another, one story, one moment, one outreach at a time.

Dr. Robert Pearl is the visionary former CEO of Kaiser-Permanente Medical Group and a passionate advocate of putting the "health" back into modern American healthcare.
In a candid conversation, Dr. Pearl dissects the fragmented, fee-for-service model that keeps healthcare stuck in the 19th century. He helps unravel the cultural complexities within medicine that not only impede physician satisfaction but also jeopardize patient safety.
Dr. Pearl believes technology will be the linchpin of personalized healthcare. He explains how advancements in AI herald a paradigm shift in modern healthcare. According to him, AI could use personal health data to tailor patient care like never before.
He's acutely aware that without addressing the current healthcare system's inefficiencies, these innovations may not reach their full potential.
He proposes systemic reforms that could marry technology with healthcare, bringing about a quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare system that we've long aspired to achieve.
Dr. Pearl asks provocative questions about the economic motivations behind our current healthcare model even as he casts a vision for more sustainable practices like capitation. What will happen as titans like Amazon step into the healthcare arena? We wrap the conversation with a look ahead, not just at the obstacles, but at the transformative solutions poised to reshape our healthcare landscape.

John Jaquish is a visionary biomedical engineer. His inventions are revolutionizing the way we think about muscle hypertrophy and disrupted the conventional beliefs about muscular strength and bone health.
He’s an outside the box thinker whose story demonstrates that unconventional thinking is not enough for success. You gotta have determination and perseverance if you have any hope that your innovations will ever see the light of day.
From pursuing his PhD to developing osteogenic loading devices, he has confronted and overcome the skepticism of his colleagues, of academic gatekeepers and even fellow strength and conditioning experts.
His research into osteogenic loading led directly to the development of X3, an exercise system that overcomes the limitations inherent in traditional resistance training systems.
Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, you will definitely be entertained.

Imagine a world where the food on your table not only nourishes your family but also heals the earth. That's what Sander van Stee is working towards every single day.
Van Stee's knowledge of the relationship between soil health, animal welfare, and our food system is both deep and broad. One example: he finally helped us understand why grass-finished beef offers superior nutrition over less-expensive grain-finished beef.
From soil microbes to diversified crop planting, van Stee explains both how and why the popular narrative around cattle farming is dead wrong. He's leading an agricultural revolution that prioritizes planetary health without sacrificing productivity.
This episode is an eye-opener for anyone skeptical about the scalability of regenerative methods. Another example: regenerative farming has the power to revitalize even the most degraded lands.
His story is a call to action for consumers to use their purchasing power to support sustainable farming practices.
Regenerative agriculture is not just about growing crops—it's about sowing the seeds for a healthier future.

Dr. Eric Berg is a well-respected pioneer in keto and low-carb circles. He's a man who's been there almost from the beginning.
So, rather than just cover old ground, we venture into the controversies and pushback from those industries that are threatened by the metabolic health movement.
As it turns out, it seems the rise of keto threatens the economic biases and informational control exerted by powerful food companies.
Who knew?
In our conversation, we venture into the heart of the global dietary debate, where the tension between corporate interests and individual health is palpable. Dr. Berg breaks down the complexities of the battle. On one side, the protein-centric ketogenic diet. On the other, the corporate-backed dietary guidelines that favor grains and sugars. The implications are vast. We touch on public health, the medical establishment, and of course, Big Pharma.
Finally, our conversation looks to the future of health and nutrition, with Metabolomics and personalized medicine taking center stage. Dr. Berg advances the revolutionary idea that healthcare should enhance our natural vitality, not merely manage disease.

You know there's something wrong with the state of medicine when doctors don't even consider "recovery" a possibility. That's the state of modern psychiatry.
Dr. Georgia Ede believed it was true and accepted it as reality. That is, she believed it until she was faced with her own health problems. Her recovery from those health issues challenged that belief. She experienced the connection between diet and mental health personally.
That experience inspired her to introduce the same food-based method to her patients. When they got the same positive results she got, she knew she was onto something.
Psychiastist Dr. Georgia Ede leads us through her transition from conventional psychiatric methods to a pioneer in the field of nutritional psychiatry.

When an 18-year-old trailblazer named Grace Price joins our show, you can't help but feel the presence of a burgeoning scientific mind.
Our latest episode captures Grace's remarkable story from a personal tragedy to a profound quest. With a remarkable self-taught understanding of biology, chemistry, and epigenetics, Grace explains why she questioned conventional nutritional wisdom, and addresses some hard truths about the food on our plates and the impact of ultra-processed products on our bodies.
With guidance from experts like Dr. Thomas Seyfried, she's developed an expert understanding of the metabolic origins of cancer. It's no surprise to listeners of this show that she now challenges the healthcare system's entrenched focus on profitable, (and largely ineffective), treatments of cancer rather than inexpensive, (and largely non-monetizable) prevention of the dreaded disease.
This episode isn't just a deep dive into the science; it's a critical look at the food industry's deceptive marketing, the inadequacies of dietary guidelines, and the urgent need for a pivot toward prevention in medicine.
Grace's experiences at Alpha School—a hub for innovation in education—exemplify how young minds are being shaped to tackle significant challenges, from personal health crusades to broad societal shifts. The desire for change is palpable as we discuss the impact of dietary revelations on a generation ready to fix the broken parts of our food system.
Knowing there are young people like Grace working on the problems of health and nutrition, this is perhaps the most hopeful episode yet in the history of Stay Off My Operating Table.
Join us on this enlightening expedition through the intersections of health, nutrition, and the power of informed choices, led by a voice that is as commanding as it is youthful.

Renowned endocrinologist Dr. Roshani Sanghani believes that the battle against diabetes will be won not with more medication, but less. She joins us from India to discuss her unique approach to combating this global health crisis. Dr. Sanghani's "lifestyle-first "philosophy stresses cultural understanding and patient education over heavily-prescribed medicines. As you'd expect, her approach is making waves, as well as getting extraordinary results.
Is carbohydrate restriction a viable treatment for diabetes or is it merely a controversial theory? Dr. Sanghani challenges conventional guidelines because it often overlooks the role of diet in disease management. We ask her why the medical community resists this therapeutic approach. She touches upon possible reasons, such as conflict of interest and cognitive bias, and emphasizes her call for a more comprehensive, patient-centric approach to treatment.
Finally, Dr. Sanghani shares some good news about her upcoming book on diabetes management, which she hopes will help revolutionize the current approach to diabetes.

Daniel Trevor survived a heart attack.
The experience turned him into a citizen scientist who debunks some common myths about the relationship between heart disease and metabolic health. He shares his first-hand discovery of the harmful effects of what he refers to as the unholy trinity: carbs, sugar, and vegetable oils,
He documented his personal journey of survival, transformation, and self-discovery in the book, The Unholy Trinity. It is perhaps the single-most citation-dense work on the subject yet published, with a whopping 1,200 scientific citations.
Did you know that 74% of doctors are not fully equipped to handle prediabetes and type 2 diabetes? Daniel leads us through his exploration of the medical community's struggle with these common diseases.
He insists that these health battles require more than just medication, it requires a fundamental shift in our lifestyle and diet. He challenges us to challenge the norms, understand the science behind our health decisions, and take control of our own health.
Going deeper, he challenges traditional wisdom around heart health. We touch on the impact of wheat and vegetable oils, while also emphasizing the importance of understanding plaque in our arteries.
Daniel's story illustrates the critical role of the citizen scientist in health and wellness as well as the power of taking control of our own health.

"Strength."
The word echoes through our culture. But do we truly understand its importance? Imagine moving through life with the strength of your youth, defying age and societal expectations.
This episode features the godfather of strength training: Mark Rippetoe. "Rip", (as he is affectionately known), illuminates the crucial role of strength in our lives, going beyond aesthetics and into survival. He demystifies the process of building muscle and breaks down the complex world of strength training into simple and effective methods. He delves into the fundamentals of human movement patterns and how to apply force against resistance to reveal the core principle of strength training.
As an example, he explains the art of squatting effectively and why a slight angle is more efficient, debunking many misconceptions around squats.
Strength is not just about looking good - it's a fundamental aspect of our existence that helps us withstand environmental challenges. More muscle mass doesn’t just mean a better physique, it means a better life, especially as we age.
Rip analyzes the physiological differences between a deadlift and a squat, clarifying the complex contraction orders and angles involved in these exercises. The mission is clear: build strength for a healthier, more fulfilling life. He compares the contrasting effects of squats and deadlifts on muscle development, providing clarity and guidance for your strength training journey.
Shatter societal stereotypes about strength training. No matter your age or gender, this episode will encourage you to prioritize your own progress and strength. And for those who find the world of strength training overwhelming, he simplifies the process.
He explains the benefits of using sets of five reps, striking a balance between work and weight, and highlights the simplicity of strength training for metabolic improvement and muscle growth.
This episode will encourage you to build a stronger, more satisfying life.

Ever wondered why traditional cancer treatments sometimes seem to fall short? Join us as we turn the tables on mainstream approaches with our guest, Dr. Christian Issels.
Dr. Issels brings a fresh perspective to treating the disease. A seasoned naturopath, he digs deep into its root causes, and presents cancer as a symptom of underlying health issues. Inspired by his father's wartime experiences, Dr. Issels introduces us to alternative therapies such as antigenic therapy and Coley's Toxins, which may be the game changers we have been seeking.
Dr. Issels challenges the common belief that cancer is merely a result of gene mutations and explore an alternate model of cancer as a metabolic issue. This different perspective explains why treatments like chemotherapy often have low long-term survival rates.
Dr. Issels explains how organ systems like the liver, kidney, lymph, and phallus can be supported to create an environment where cancer struggles to thrive. From detoxification methods to proper nutrition, he explores the holistic approach to cancer treatment.
Our conversation takes an unexpected turn as he discusses the roles of oxygen, glucose, and even stress in cancer development. He addresses these often overlooked factors and offers practical guidelines for cancer prevention.
By the end of this conversation, you'll gain a fuller understanding of cancer's complexity, the importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment, and the undeniable truth - a healthy body is our best weapon in the fight against this disease.

Get to know our guest
Dom D'Agostino Ph.D. is a well-known and respected figure in the field of ketogenic and metabolic research, particularly significant in the areas of nutrition, metabolism, and the use of ketosis for various applications. He also serves as one of the key figures involved in the organization and presentations at the Metabolic Health Summit.
"Ketogenic diets are a way to put your body into therapeutic ketosis to give your brain more energy. But it's difficult for patients to follow a ketogenic diet. So we do research on ketogenic diets, but we also do research on ketone supplements. And we think that that's maybe a more appropriate metabolic intervention for that group of people." - Dom D'Agostino

Many of the available medicines for respiratory problems only treat the symptoms, but hardly the root cause. Additionally, after many decades of use, some of these medications have been proven to include ineffective ingredients. This prompted Dr. Nazlie Latefi, the founder of Applied Biological Laboratories and the brain behind Biovanta, to seek an innovative approach to target the underlying issue: inflammation.
In this episode, she discusses
- the differences between acute and chronic inflammation
- the startling effects of commonly used sore throat products
- the unexpected benefits of using ingredients found in nature, including the role of aspirin and other COX inhibitors in managing respiratory issues.
With their research-backed all-natural product, the impact of Biovanta seems nothing short of revolutionary as it addresses inflammation itself as well as repair after the inflammation.
With their goal to find effective treatment for pandemics, Applied Biological Laboratories has taken a significant leap forward to provide better treatments for respiratory problems.
Get to know our guestDr. Nazlie Latefi founded Applied Biological Laboratories, a company focused on researching, creating, and distributing natural drugs to effectively treat respiratory conditions and their associated symptoms.
“Unfortunately, a lot of the medicines that we take are not designed to deal with the underlying issue. So, they kind of perpetuate the whole thing. I mean, it's just like a band-aid solution, like for example allergies. That's a state of chronic inflammation and steroids is definitely not the answer to that because although it's very commonly prescribed, it actually can make people more susceptible to getting respiratory infections. And you're basically shutting off all the inflammation with the steroids and blunting it so that now your initial responses are completely dulled out.” - Dr. Nazlie Latefi

Can you imagine a life where every celebration, every comfort, and every meal is dominated by a substance that's silently damaging your health? That's how Florence Christophers put it as she shared her personal story of sugar addiction, from her first realization of the harmful impact sugar was having on her health, to her discovery of the Sugar Blues book, and finally, her road to overcoming her addiction.
Research reveals that sugar's addictive qualities function in our brains similarly to other substances of abuse. Florence neatly categorizes sugar consumers into three groups - users, abusers, and addicts. For those in the spectrum, she discussed the power of whole foods in satisfying cravings and restoring metabolic and mental health, zeroing into the necessity to abstain from sugar and processed carbs. She also emphasized the importance of seeking support, the significance of self-care, and the power that lies in connecting with others. Just like how the Sugar Blues book changed her outlook on sugar, Florence's advocacy aims to help others understand sugar's role and encourage healthier lifestyle choices that can surely transform lives.
Get to know our guest
Florence Christophers used to be a sugar addict. She now works as a certified health coach with expertise in sugar addiction recovery and is the founder of the Kick Sugar Summit.
“This is a substance, refined carbohydrates, sugar in particular, that shows up in 70, 80 percent of the foods in our grocery stores. This is a substance that we feed children. This is a substance we use to celebrate with each other. This is a substance that we use to comfort ourselves. And this is a substance that has been directly and indirectly linked to every known chronic modern disease. All of them, probably the most inflammatory substance that we could possibly put in our bodies, and most of us are eating it every day, if not at every meal.” - Florence Christophers

Ever been puzzled at the sight of a distance runner struggling with weight issues? Doug Reynolds, a former runner turned metabolic health expert, shares his personal tale of weight gain in his late 40s, and the transformative journey he embarked on as a result of a low-carb diet. His dedication to raising awareness of the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle gave birth to Low Carb USA.
His goal was to let more people learn and understand low carb, so armed with his skill of conducting conferences, he put up the first Low Carb USA conference. From a crowd of 350 people, they now continue to gather thousands and provide an opportunity to learn from experts, share experiences, and become a part of an ever-growing community devoted to metabolic health.
Even with a critical piece of information that could revolutionize the health of millions, challenge and resistance persist, yet they continue to push for greater recognition and understanding of metabolic health, even establishing a professional organization, the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. The message is clear - when it comes to advocating for metabolic health, it's a team effort, and every voice, every effort counts. And with the right guidance and support, the transition to a low-carb diet can be a game-changer.
Get to know our guestDour Reynolds is a pioneer of the low-carb continue. As the founder of Low Carb USA, his work has helped millions of people achieve better health and well-being.
"Because of this resistance from the majority of practitioners, what people need is support and a place to be to feel like they're safe. And after a while, I started to become aware of the fact that it was even more important for the practitioners to have something like that. So, for the doctors and the dieticians and other people in this medical space that are trying to do this, they are in the wilderness. [...] They just find it very lonely to practice like that. So now if we find a place to bring everybody together where no one is judging them and everyone is actually totally on board with what they're trying to do with their patients that's something that they really needed." - Doug Reynolds

How come weight gain remains a common struggle for individuals with type 2 diabetes, despite maintaining a restricted diet? Harriet Verkoelen sheds light on the misconceptions surrounding insulin and type 2 diabetes, underscoring the importance of insulin resistance testing, and discussing hyperinsulinemia which could be a far more severe risk factor than high glucose levels.
The mainstream understanding and treatment of type 2 diabetes could be flawed, but there's not enough attention given to it in medical education. With the potential damage caused by high insulin levels, including coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases, why are we foregoing insulin testing?
Harriet's insights on the early signs of insulin resistance, different treatments for type-2 diabetes patients, and the need to cut down on carbs just prove to us there's no question about her dedication to promoting a greater understanding of our body's metabolic health.
Get to know our guestHarriet Verkoelen, with her background in nursing and nutrition, has specialized as a diabetes nurse. She advocates a low-carb lifestyle as a solution to reversing type-2 diabetes.
“We need to work together and show doctors what the results are so we can work all together. And dietitians need to understand that they also have to change something in their advising. Because as I told you, the test always tells you that you need to eat less carbohydrates. ”

"That's what we all became health practitioners for, right? We want an income, but not at the expense of the well-being of our clients and patients. And it's so worthwhile when you realize how much good you could do with your knowledge." - Graham Phillips
Even though he followed the official government guidelines, pharmacist Graham Phillips got - in his words - "hungrier and fatter by the day." Then he tried what was at that time a revolutionary diet, and quickly lost 10 kilos, (22 pounds.) That caused him to realize, "the amount of weight I've lost doesn't work with any of the handed down science I was told."
Thus began the journey of The Pharmacist Who Gave Up Drugs.

From the profound connections between metabolic health and conditions such as autism and ADHD to nutrition, integrative neuropsychologist Dr. John Ferrara has utilized functional medical care to improve the situation of children with these conditions.
This episode tackles the evolution of our food quality, the complex world of vaccines and their critical, yet controversial, role in health, the emotional debate surrounding adjuvants, and the potential impact of diet and lifestyle changes on the severity of conditions in diagnosed children. Our guest also discussed the intriguing correlation between metabolism, diet, and autism, and why metabolic dysfunction often goes unnoticed in individuals with psychiatric conditions.
Finally, we touched on the compelling connections between geographical factors and autism prevalence. Ever wondered why there's a particularly low rate of autism among the Amish population and if there is a possibility of geographically mapping metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity to autism? John Ferrera's insights on the potential of metabolic health interventions to reverse conditions once believed to be irreversible, such as Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis can surely revolutionize your understanding of metabolic health and autism.

Integrative neuropsychologist and learning specialist John Ferrera, Ph.D. has a wealth of experience in treating kids, teenagers, and young adults with developmental disabilities, and disruptive behavior disorder. His approach includes mindfulness techniques, behavioral modification, and cognitive re-framing.
"And we talk about behaviors that they can change and thoughts that they can change. And that's all very, very true and very valid. We recommend medications, of course. But nobody talks about, or until now, thanks to people like Chris Palmer and yourself, but we're really talking about the link between metabolic health and mental health. And so that's something that is not being addressed when I think people come into most psychologists or psychiatrists office."

Imagine if one simple practice could unlock the power of your mind, enhance your physical health, and guide you toward greater mindfulness. We've all heard about the benefits of meditation, but how about the untapped potential of breath-holding? Erwan Le Corre, the founder of MovNat and a record-holding expert in breath-hold work, shares his journey from France to the US and reveals how breath-holding can redefine the boundaries of our mental and physical capabilities.
Looking into the fascinating world of physiological adaptations and our body's innate response to perceived threats, one can wonder how angiogenesis or increased red blood cell production can make us more resilient and capable. Erwan walks us through these processes, highlighting the importance of CO2 tolerance for oxygen replenishment. Challenging conventional wisdom, we also discuss the role of oxygen, not CO2, in triggering the urge to breathe, and examine the body's remarkable ability to handle high levels of CO2.
But breath-holding isn't just about physical endurance; it's also a powerful tool for mental training. As Erwan guides us through the emotional changes that occur during breath-holding, he emphasizes how breath-holding can enhance our mindfulness, promote slow breathing, and even foster a deeper understanding of the soul. Dipping into the realm of intuition through meditation, we discuss the untapped potential within our brains and how breath-holding can help us access it. Tune in, take a deep breath, and prepare to challenge your limits!

Could hormones be the secret key to unlocking your metabolic health? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Jay Wrigley, a specialist in functional medicine and hormonal health. As we dive into the intricacies of how hormonal changes impact our metabolism, along with the implications on weight management, we learn that it's not all about diet. We also explore the vital roles of nutrient repletion, hormone replacement, and individualized protocols in helping individuals reach their goals.
The discussion takes an interesting turn as we delve into the world of adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances. Dr. Wrigley sheds light on how these issues can disrupt the harmony of the four main endocrine glands and how estrogen dominance can inhibit the body's ability to process T3, potentially leading to weight gain. We also dissect the evolutionary benefits of estrogen dominance and discuss the alarming rise of autoimmune conditions.
To wrap up our deep dive, we share insights on the potential benefits of a carnivore diet, the need for variety, and the importance of a sustainable, enjoyable diet. The conversation doesn't end there; we tackle how to accurately diagnose and treat hormone-related conditions and the need to have a health coach to navigate the complexities of hormone health.

Imagine this: your parents - the pillars of your life - are locked in a battle of metabolic illnesses and you are helpless.
This is the stark reality that our guest, Olivia Khwaja, faced which led her to pivot from a corporate career to a journey of exploration into the world of nutrition. This powerful encounter with metabolic disorders fueled Olivia's mission to revolutionize the understanding of nutrition and its profound impact on metabolic health.
Olivia's journey led her not just through the complexities of food addiction but also how to combat this with healthier eating habits. With a unique approach, an online coaching program in the UK has embraced a low-carb diet to manage Type 2 diabetes, challenging public health systems and pushing for a grassroots change. As we walk through this conversation, expect to be enlightened about the ongoing efforts to recognize food addiction as a real addiction and the importance of steering children away from processed foods.
Marketing gurus often talk about triggering behavior change to foster customer loyalty, but how does this play out in a landscape where budget constraints are a reality? Olivia helps us unpack this, drawing from the UK's experience of rolling out smart meters. Be prepared to debunk myths around the diet-health connection and understand the role of influencer culture in shaping eating habits. This conversation isn't just about the role of nutrition in health, but how we can all take simple steps towards healthier living while challenging the status quo.

Ever wonder why some women seem to handle the challenges of menopause and aging with grace, while others struggle with symptoms that often go untreated? Dr. Kyrin Dunston herself struggled with that. As a traditionally trained OBGYN, she transitioned to alternative medicine to conquer her personal health crisis. She then dared to question the approach to women's health, especially as it relates to hormonal imbalances and midlife metabolic mayhem.
Dr. Kyrin discussed how symptoms like weight gain, memory problems, and autoimmune disorders are frequently misunderstood, midlife metabolic chaos is caused by hormonal imbalances, and the dire effects of not replacing hormones. She wants women to understand these effects and how hormone replacement therapy can change one’s quality of life. This proves that patient care can go beyond merely controlling symptoms. Dr. Kyrin Dunston, as an advocate of women's health, does exactly that.

Eliminate processed food in your diet. That's the clear message of Dr. Chris Knnobe, a pioneering nutrition researcher and author who connected the dots between our modern diets and the rise of chronic diseases. As an ophthalmologist, he learned the great impact of processed foods on macular degeneration, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness, and for the past years, he has focused on intensive cross-nation research which now revolutionizes the way we look at food.
In this conversation, Dr. Knobbe shared the startling connections between the rising use of processed foods and the rise in macular degeneration, the effects of vegetable oils on our food supply, and how it's not yet too late to navigate towards healthier dietary decisions.

An advocate of a diet predominantly focused on meat consumption, Dr. Shawn Baker challenged the preconceived views about nutrition as he talks about his personal journey that led him to adopt a meat-based diet and the unexpected health advantages it provided for both him and his patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. He also discussed its implications for conditions like addiction, diabetes, mental health, and neurological diseases, and how dietary cholesterol has long been demonized when it can actually benefit our health.
We don't just stop at health impacts; we also take a critical look at the broader implications of the carnivore diet. How does meat consumption affect the environment? What is the situation of cattle farming and producers in the United States? From the complexities of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown under the influence of a low-carb diet, the role of concentrated foods like protein powder, and how the carnivore diet impacts hormone balances, this in-depth conversation with Dr. Shawn Baker highlights how simple nutrition, devoid of processed foods, can radically change your health and lifestyle.

Dr. Shawn Baker, an orthopedic surgeon, has a solid foundation in medicine and athletics. Embracing a carnivorous lifestyle, he has become a leading advocate for the carnivore diet, which emphasizes the consumption of animal-based products for optimal health and performance.
"And as anybody who's not living on a rock has heard, well, to save the planet from impending disaster, the cow farts are boiling the oceans and we got to get rid of the cows and we got to get everybody to eat more insects and soybeans and plant-based foods and that type of stuff, and we just need to cut back, whereas I think the opposite is true. I think we need to cut back on the ultra-processed foods and include more high-quality proteins in the diet. And the interesting thing is that a lot of us that do this, we actually consume far less food than the average person. We make far less waste." - Dr. Shawn Baker

80 to 90% of the medical bills in the United States have mistakes, and it’s not in favor of the patient. It wasn’t until Dr. Virgie Bright Ellington, an internal medicine physician, and a health insurance executive, witnessed how her hospital roommate was taken advantage of financially that she knew, more than helping insurance companies, it is the patients that need her help the most.
With the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurance companies now enjoy a system that is significantly skewed in their favor, a system driven by profits, not by the health and well-being of their customers. Dr. Virgie agrees that we are trapped in this system, but can anything be done? As the founder of Crush Medical Debt, she advocates medical financial literacy and emphasizes the need to understand medical bills and insurance policies. Listen as she talks about the control insurance companies have over prices and costs, the importance of understanding CPT codes, and why you need to be aware of your healthcare rights to avoid being stuck in debt.

Ever heard of a business owner providing much valuable insight about the importance of health?
Jeffrey Feldberg, the founder of Deep Wealth, started his business in his parents’ attic. From there it grew and received a nine-figure offer and today, he continues to reverse engineer his failures to make better business decisions. But when he experienced the death of his father, it left him devastated. He realized that if he didn’t take care of his health, he wouldn’t be able to achieve the success he wanted in business. For him, the same way owners target KPIs or key performance indicators for their business, they should similarly develop specific KPIs for their health.
Unfortunately, many business owners don’t pay enough attention to their health and that’s how Jeffrey wants to help his fellow entrepreneurs. In this episode, Jeffrey Fedlberg discusses the concept of reverse engineering failures, the importance of sleep and mindset, and how physical health is intertwined with the health of your business. Remember, just like business, health is not something that just happens; it requires intention and effort to achieve.

“But if we follow the standard guidelines, at least from my journey to follow the standard American diet side, how ironic, we get a sad outcome from that. If we follow traditional medical advice, we're going to end up on Dr. Ovadia’s operating table, which is what we don't want.” - Jeffrey Feldberg

Reading the science changed Nina Teicholz’s perspective on nutrition. She’s a journalist and author who is known for her work on nutrition and health. As a vegetarian with a food review column, she had to eat red meat—exactly the dishes she stayed away from. However, upon checking with her doctor, she was surprised to find that her cholesterol actually improved.
This experience led Nina to read the science behind nutrition. In this conversation, she tells us why saturated fats are not the villain, how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing popular narratives, and through her writing and advocacy, inspires us to question what we know and seek the truth. Nina understands the cost of speaking up against the nutrition industry and she remains committed to sharing the truth. She’s not giving up on that.

"Low carb comes out better on almost all metrics in terms of fighting heart disease, weight loss, metabolic glycemic control of your blood sugars, I mean, low-carb almost always looks better in those review papers. So, it's just really mystifying and hard to understand how the science is, I mean, I think it's hard to use a word other than suppress. At this point, it's literally being suppressed and ignored.

They didn't teach this in medical school.
Orthopedic surgeon Carlos Moreyra had to do his own research to learn that diet plays a crucial role in maintaining orthopedic health.
A variety of factors can affect bone strength and density. Your choice of food can either help prevent orthopedic disease or increase the likelihood of orthopedic diseases including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and even fractures.
In this episode, Dr. Moreyra discussed how advanced glycation end products affect bone health in several ways. He notes that chronic medication can affect bone health and highlights the necessity to cut back on carbohydrates, processed foods, and sugars to maintain strong bones.
He advocates dietary and lifestyle changes to prevent orthopedic conditions and make you stay off his operating table.

Heart disease experts have always emphasized the importance of maintaining low levels of LDL cholesterol, commonly known as "bad cholesterol."
Here comes David Feldman, an engineer who was on the verge of developing diabetes. In an effort to better his health, he made the decision to try a low-carb, high-fat diet. Even his sister and father followed suit. As a result, his LDL cholesterol levels increased, but his family did not experience the same effect. Many people believe that genetics play a crucial role in how the body processes a high-fat diet, but David's findings challenged this notion.
As if he was debugging a problem, it fueled his curiosity to explore the reasons behind this inconsistency. In this episode, David Feldman presents the lipid energy model, how high levels of LDL cholesterol may not always equal the risk of heart disease, and the goals of the Citizen Science Foundation to further the research on the field of cholesterol and lipidology.

“Metabolism is this counterbalance between anabolism, which is the building up of stuff, and catabolism, which is the breaking down of stuff. And metabolism is how good you are at building up and breaking down stuff in a good balance. That's really what metabolism is. And nowhere is that more important than fuel. We care a lot about how good you are at putting fuel away, that you're consuming, and getting it back out.” - David Feldman

Why are pregnant women advised to avoid eating fat when fat is one of the building blocks of the human body?
Dr. Robert Kiltz provides clear answers and dispels many of the misconceptions that have plagued us for far too long. As a fertility expert who focuses on metabolic health and incorporates nutrition in his practice, he challenges the generally accepted idea of a healthy diet and how it relates to fertility. Couples come to him when they struggle to conceive. And the primary reason, like every other disease, is inflammation. Plant-based diets and our avoidance of fat causes inflammation.
In this episode, Dr. Kiltz blows the lid off the myth that plant-based diets are always healthy. He explains how plant sugars can damage human reproductive organs. He also delves into the crucial role that fats play in pregnancy and how they can help ensure a healthy baby. It's about time to rethink what we eat, its impact on our health, and how this affects starting a family.

If the ketogenic diet can help people who struggled with metabolic and mental illnesses, how come it was never taught in medical school?
Dr. Bret Scher, a trained cardiologist, completed a combined preventive and general cardiology fellowship. As a certified cardiologist, he was hesitant when a health coach advised they try keto diets with their patients. Fat is bad. But after conducting extensive research on ketosis, he became an advocate for nutritional ketosis. Despite the evidence contradicting commonly held beliefs regarding saturated fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrates, there are still those who remain resistant to the idea.
In this episode, Dr. Scher explains how doctors' attitudes have changed towards therapeutic nutritional ketosis, its association with mental health, and why he emphasizes the need for the supervision of a trained clinician if one uses ketogenic diet as a health intervention.

“But that is a completely different story than if we're talking about eating a diet that is low-carb, and the fat is coming from natural animal sources, not ultra-processed, it's not hypercaloric, it’s within a setting that's improving your metabolic health, that is a completely different scenario. But that takes longer to say, that takes longer to think about, that's a nuance that is not easy to understand when you haven't seen it, you haven't considered it. But I think that’s the first step, is to say, look, what are the studies that we're basing our recommendations on? How strong is the evidence?” - Dr. Bret Scher

Andy Schoonover was frustrated that, despite paying $1,200 a month for coverage, his insurance refused to pay for his daughter's $8,000 ear infection procedure. Foregoing his insurance led him to develop a solution that could help those who are uninsured. He founded CrowdHealth.
He shares that the idea behind CrowdHealth is medical health crowdfunding, which is a return to the notion of neighbors helping each other when someone is ill. Their goal is to build an alternative to the current healthcare system. The community has the freedom to choose their healthcare providers without worrying about how much their medical procedures would cost. Members who dealt with similar circumstances even choose to contribute more. This makes Andy very optimistic that their service gives more hope for everybody to finally receive the real care that they deserve.

“So, you have the buyers of healthcare, which are health insurance plans, who want the price to go up. You have the sellers of healthcare, who are the big hospital systems, and it's more and more so. They both want the price to go up. So, this doesn't take a Ph.D. in economics, if the buyer and the seller want the price to go up, guess what the price is going up, right? Hospitals want the price to go up. Insurance Plans want the price to go up, the price is going up. And that's just how our system works. Unfortunately.” - Andy Schoonover

Addiction is a primary chronic illness that can manifest in various forms, including food addiction.
This is what Bitten Jonsson wants to emphasize. She was a nurse who struggled with smoking and alcoholism at the onset of her career. She was forced to enter rehab and during that time, she learned addiction medicine, which helped her overcome her drinking and smoking habits. Yet she continued to struggle with compulsive eating of ice cream and chocolate. That was when a doctor diagnosed her as a "food addict.”
This conversation brings to light the importance of understanding addiction as a primary illness and the work our brain does to heal from addiction. Bitten recounts her own battle with addiction and road to recovery. She also emphasizes how social media, screens, and processed meals all contribute to the development of addictive behaviors.

Bitten Jonsson now continues her work on addiction medicine by training professionals which she calls holistic addiction medicine.
"But it's important to understand that addiction is a primary chronic, progressive, and deadly if not arrested illness, but you die of the consequences. So, it is a brain illness, with physical, psychological, social, and spiritual consequences." - Bitten Jonsson

A yoga instructor and professional equestrian turned personal trainer, Kem Minnick noticed a decline in her physical and health after years of veganism.
Her personal quest for health revealed the importance of tryptophan, which is necessary for the production of serotonin in the brain. She realized that insufficient serotonin was a root cause of her chronic physical ill-health and lack of mental clarity.
Further personal experimentation proved to her that her vegan/vegetarian practice was the cause of her low serotonin.
Something had to change.
The Original Carnivore Swedish Bikini Chef, ex-Playboy model Kem Minnick talks her journey from being a cannabis user and vegan/vegetarian, tryptophan deficiency, why a carnivore diet helps produce serotonin, and how she was introduced to the carnivore diet by the man who was not only the brains behind the Grateful Dead's massive wall-of-sound speaker system, but also the country's largest LSD distributor, Stanley Owsley.

“There are two different types of iron, non-heme iron, heme iron. We only get heme iron from animal proteins, meat, red meat, lamb and beef are our best sources. We've got to keep that in the female diet. We got to keep it in the diet of children in elementary school, junior high school, and we need to start talking about the absolute importance of it in preventing depression, in preventing anxiety with young women today.” - Kem Minnick

One may assume that a socialized healthcare system, in which the government pays for the majority of medical expenses, would be more concerned to prevent illnesses in the first place. Nevertheless, Dr. Max Gulhane, a general practice registrar, describes the Australian healthcare system as one that operates more like the profit-driven healthcare system of the US.
The change in the population's diet and nutrition - one that promotes eating more grains, more bread, and more carbohydrate consumption - has led to an increase in the prevalence of metabolic illnesses. Yet despite the overwhelming support from credible studies that a low-carb diet helps with disease reversals, it still isn't widely accepted.
Listen to Dr. Max Gulhane as he talks about animal-based diets as a key to reversing chronic diseases, why doctors are trapped in a system that heavily favors disease management more than disease reversal, and how pharmaceutical industries are weaponizing science.

Dr. Max Gulhane is an Australian physician who practices family medicine. He advocates animal-based diets for metabolic health and regenerative farming. He also hosts a podcast called Regenerative Health.
“Perhaps as long as you have someone in between your relationship with the patient and the doctor, in our case, Medicare, which is a government-funded health care system, who pays us as GPs to administer care to our patients, until there is, I guess, more of a direct relationship with us in the patient, you're gonna get, I guess, outcomes or treatment outcomes that aren't necessarily directed at the patient's disease and reversing the patient's disease. So yeah, no, it's not very land down here from a disease reversal point of view by any means.” - Dr. Max Gulhane

Almost 30 years after earning her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics as well as her master’s degree in Medical Science, Nutritionist Jen Cleveland continues to unlearn a lot of things she was taught about nutrition.
She has spent 30 years in the same big academic children’s healthcare institution. In that time, she has observed what she describes as an alarming increase in the number of children presenting with type-2 diabetes. She has worked with kids with high triglyceride levels, high LDL cholesterol, and a big population of kids with non-alcoholic fatty liver.
Given her years of experience working as a dietitian with children, she opens up in this episode about her opinions on the status of nutrition, various patient experiences, and how food plays a significant role in disease prevention, particularly for the younger population.

13:35 The a-ha moment that changed everything

Get to know our guest:Jen Cleveland received her diploma in 1992, the year the famed food pyramid was implemented. She has spent 30 years working with young diabetics and believes that proper diet is a crucial step toward disease prevention.
“But I tried to encourage them and let them know that this can be, because the doctors honestly, they do not go into a room saying you can reverse this. They go into the room saying this is how we are going to treat this and the first thing we're gonna do is metformin and then we may have to add this and then we may have to add this and then I go in and I do my best to go, what I emphasize to the families is whole real foods. Ditch the processed foods. Number one, ditch sugary drinks. That's the absolute number one. Yeah, number one sugary drinks. Number two, whole real foods, meats, vegetables, little bit of fruit, if they are just starting out and move a little bit.” - Jen Cleveland

Dr. Ovadia was quoted in a Huffington Post article. The headlines were mostly accurate, but the body of the article was a comical mish-mash of misinformation, mal-information, and outright ignorance.
In this recording from a live Twitter Spaces, Dr. O sets the record straight. He also takes questions from the audience.
A few excerpts on The 5 Harmful Myths About Food's Effect on Heart Health:
Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health.
While trans fat and hydrogenated fats found in processed foods should be avoided, saturated fat, which has been historically linked to heart disease, is not the real culprit. It's the polyunsaturated fat that’s more harmful to your health.
Myth 2. Eggs are bad for your heart.
Despite eggs' high cholesterol content, our blood cholesterol levels are not much impacted by the cholesterol in our diet.
Myth 3. Red meat should be avoided at all costs.
There is no strong evidence of red meat affecting heart health.
Myth 4. If you're on medication for your heart health, it means you can eat whatever you want.
Statins have little effect on weight, but a nutrient-poor diet increases the risk of heart disease. Improving your diet won't need you to take any more medications.
Myth 5. Changing your diet isn't enough to reverse the damage already done to your heart.
It’s never too late to start looking after your heart. A change in your diet and lifestyle can still improve your situation.

38:29 Hotdogs as part of your diet
41:26 Why are there numerous myths about this
46:13 Why is it hard to reduce obesity in the country
58:09 Diet is good, but cholesterol is up
“I just disagree with sort of their thinking that you need to take the medication and improve your diet when the real answer is just to improve your diet and you won't need the medications. And in a lot of these cases, the medications aren't doing what we're told they're supposed to do and that's not because of what people are doing with the medication. That's really because these medications are ineffective. And

Chronic diseases are preventable. Dr. Paul Kolodzik has seen enough people losing their legs or needing dialysis in his emergency medicine career - all of which can be avoided.
For the last 5 years, he focused on metabolic health practice. He knows there’s an opportunity to prevent the patients’ chronic illnesses and their potential side effects. And it begins with spending enough time with the patient and educating them. Something most primary care doctors lack the time to do.
So in this episode, Dr. Kolodzik spends enough time discussing his metabolic health experience as he highlights how valuable a continuous glucose monitor is, why strength training should be a priority, his work on addiction, and the need for the healthcare system to do more than just disease management.

What started as a venture for better cash flow became a passion project for Hal Cranmer. From flipping houses and running rental properties, he switched to the assisted living industry.
He has visited several homes, and he knew he didn’t want residents just laying down or watching TV as if waiting for their end to come. He wanted the residents to enjoy and live a quality life. To learn more, he researched exercises and low-carb diets. He hired doctors and personal trainers who share his goal. Here's the catch: as the residents' quality of life improves, the cost of operating the business decreases.
Beyond business standpoint, Hal Cranmer is truly doing something significant for his residents and the assisted living industry. In this conversation, he shares his passion to help the residents of A Paradise for Parents through three things: good food, exercise, and regular social interactions, and why a visit to these homes will motivate you to become healthy.

54:08 Closing and contacts
Get to know our guest:Hal Cranmer was an airforce pilot before he ventured to assisted living industry. His goal is to help improve the health of his residents so they can eventually choose to go home.
“I think a lot of the problems we see are we get a lot of people who come to us because their mom is in her apartment or her house by herself or dad is and they sit in front of the TV all day and don't do anything and that's when they saw the decline coming. A, they're not spending time with other people, and b, they're not moving around.”

Al Danenberg thought he was a poster boy for a senior healthy living lifestyle and eating habits, but one sharp pain in the shoulder led to back pains, chest pains, and breathing difficulty. He found out he had incurable bone marrow cancer and had only a few months left to live.
That was 2018.
What helped him was a series of unconventional cancer protocols that he tweaked as he went along, but that doesn’t mean there were no setbacks. He fractured himself so many times. He was cleared with cancer cells, but COVID activated his plasma cells creating dysfunctional antibodies which damaged his bones even more.
But now, he has lived beyond his prognosis.
In this conversation, he shared how lifestyle and diet changes are the key to his health, and puts on his periodontist hat as he discusses ways to help our gut, what anti-nutrients are and the benefits of pulsed electromagnetic therapy. With his life story and great knowledge, as his oncologist says it, Al is genuinely one of a kind.

“Why would we even want to start eating something our body never wanted to eat in the first place? And that's an interesting story to be told. Because for the most part, we are animal eaters, we can eat animals without a problem, unless there are certain medical issues that you might have, but for the most part, we can eat the animal products without a problem and absorb these nutrients. And we don't need these plants that are very damaging more so than others.” - Dr. Al Danenberg

Dr. Tro Kalayjian - a formerly 350-pound doctor - had to unlearn much of what he'd been taught in medical school to get his health back.
Dr. Laura Buchanan - a former athlete - had the same sort of experience. She learned early on that she wanted to integrate metabolic health into her medical practice.
Despite having different backgrounds in both personal health and medicine, Dr. Tro and Dr. Laura now collaborate to give their patients the best care possible. To address the underlying reason for a patient's health issues, the healthcare team considers the patient’s strengths, weaknesses, failures, and even appetites. They call this "patient bonding." It's a way to establish trust and rapport with the patient.
In this episode, these two doctors share their perspectives on what drives the messaging for nutrition, their passion for establishing rapport and connection with patients, and the future of health tech.
Listen until the end to know their fantastic announcement to help your health improve.

Get to know our guestDr. Tro Kalayjian, MD and Dr. Laura Buchanan work together to make a difference in patient care. With their Doctor Tro app, they aim to build accountability and a community addressing metabolic health.
"I can tell you that we have CGMs and scales and coughs and ketone meters, and if you don't use them, it will nudge you into using them. And, yeah, there's all this fancy stuff. But I think, I almost don't, like the fancy stuff is helpful because eating is something we want to be subconscious about and we have to rip it out of the subconscious. So, the tools like the CGM are so irreplaceable, but it's the act of what's really replaceable is the act of taking something subconscious, and sparking change."

For some people, being healthy is always associated with weight loss. Krisna Hanks never had that problem. Having spent 30 years of her life as a professional dancer, she was a vegetarian, did Pilates and swimming to strengthen herself, and took care of her body as her topmost priority.
But at one point in her life, a bad joint pain made her struggle to stand up or sit down. For 2 years, doctors can't diagnose what was wrong with her. With all tests exhausted, her physical therapist friend recommended changing her diet. From vegetarian to meat-centric, the change didn’t happen overnight. It was a process.
Now as a health coach, she has a deep understanding of the different struggles of each person. Overall wellness is in body, mind, and spirit.

He also recalls how they struggled during the early days of creating a program for the CrossFit community. As self-improvement junkies, they combined what works in the self-improvement world and apply it to their community. That was the start of the Whole Life Challenge. It has helped participants not just with weight loss, but with their lifestyle and relationships.
In this episode, he explains the challenges of creating a program, how they came up with the Whole Life Challenge, and he even shares transformation stories that made a mark, an affirmation of the community they have built that continues to lift each other.

Immediately putting a patient on medication has been normalized. Dr. Efrat Lamandre (Dr. E) maintains that it should not be.
In this episode, she shares her story of how she started her functional medicine practice, how she has taken more time to listen to her patients than before, and why she'd check nutrition and sleep first before any exercise recommendation.
Healthcare professionals frequently overlook the initial course of treatment recommended by pharmacological guidelines — dietary lifestyle changes — because the system doesn't leave enough time for it.
She used to consider a patient "fine" if test results didn't point to any specific diagnosis. Now she knows better: symptoms meant something is wrong. So, her goal is to provide interventions before the symptoms develop into disease.
Dr. E believes there is a place for both conventional and functional medicine. That's why she practices both. She calls this the KNEW method, a reassurance for the patients that the symptoms they experience are not just in their heads.

Not everyone would readily agree to do an ice bath and endure the uncomfortable sensations of being submerged in the cold. But Scott Carney, who personally experienced it, found the benefits of doing so.
As a journalist and anthropologist, he has investigated organ trafficking, experienced war zones, and met Wim Hof, the Iceman, himself. Wim Hof’s known for his ability to endure cold temperatures as his meditation technique and alter the immune system's response.
Our mind tends to come up with worst scenarios, to be anxious, to go into fight or flight mode. But with the ice bath experience, Scott became aware of the sensations on his skin and how he could control his reaction to the cold water. His health and autoimmune reactions have improved as a result of this.
In this episode, Scott Carney talks about what he learned from his encounters with Wim Hof and the ice bath, as well as how stress and one's mindset may affect physiology and control the immune system.
Quick Guide:01:19 Introduction
04:22 The physiological effect of environmental stressors
17:50 How dealing with stressors can be applied in day-to-day life

30:56 The reaction of cancer cells with sugar and cold temperature
33:50 Cold as the stimulus
36:15 The purpose and the right amount of stressors
40:27 How to practice playing with sensations
Get to know our guest:Scott Carney is an investigative journalist and anthropologist who has written various topics in well-known publications. He has authored several books, including New York Times bestseller “What Doesn’t Kill Us” which chronicles his journey with Wim Hof.
"And as you feel more comfortable, you said there's a crisis in comfort, is that if you don't have range in the stuff you're gonna do, and you're totally fine staying on your couch and watching Netflix, and that is the way you have organized your entire life so that if you go to the mailbox, that's terrifying. And you could people do get to this point, right? Where you have so narrowed your environment and your range that you can't do stuff." - Scott Carney

The documentary called Cops and Cabins showed police officers as they attempted to decompress. When Eric Reynolds saw himself in that short film, he realized how heavy and sick he looked. As a cop, he maintained an active lifestyle, playing basketball and carrying weights. Nevertheless, as overweight as he was, he dealt with continual injuries.
A friend mentioned the ketogenic diet. He'd never heard of it. But he was ready to make a change. So he before he began his keto journey, he researched what it was, and how it worked, including meal planning and macros tracking.

Diet is the most neglected part of oral health. It is also the cause of why we have crooked teeth and many other oral problems. Kevin Stock, the first dentist to guest on the show, shares relevant information about the co-relation of food and diet to our teeth, with historical evidence, and how it also affects our metabolic health.
He was once an overweight kid so, at an early age, he was already interested in health and fitness. As a student, he joined physique competitions, but he knew he wasn’t healthy. He wanted to figure out the health and fitness code. A decade later, he has finally found both sides of the equation, and it's more than just body composition.
In this episode, he reveals the truth about the human diet according to fossilized teeth, the pros and cons of different dental procedures, and why it’s okay if we don’t do a 100% strict carnivore diet.
Quick Guide:01:14 Introduction

1:03:48 Closing and contacts
Get to know our guest:Kevin Stock majored in chemistry, but instead of taking the pre-med route, he continued to dental school. His area of focus is obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing.
“It's a poor diet that causes damage to the mouth that is causing the same kind of metabolic damage that impairing the heart as well as the brain. So, I do think that is the root cause here for sure.”

The creator of “Coffee So Black” memes, he offers so much knowledge in this episode, sharing his personal experiences on losing weight as a professional boxer and how he attributed this to cutting carbohydrates and eating a heavy meat diet.

Indirect calorimetry. A tongue twister of a word, but a game changer to metabolic health. Kirsty Woods of Metabolic Health Solutions from Perth, Australia has observed how valuable it is for research, particularly for polycystic ovarian syndrome, fatty liver, diabetes - basically anything associated with metabolism, but it's not just that.
A technology usually confined to laboratory and study purposes, she is determined to show its greater use beyond research. Experiences with different patients who benefitted from the interpretation of the data are a preview of how the knowledge gained from indirect calorimetry helps in clinical use, weight loss management, and the prevention of different diseases.

As a former professional athlete with an Economics degree, Alex Feinberg went on to work in a global macro hedge fund and later became a Google employee, so he is more than just a ripped health and fitness enthusiast.
In 2014, when he decided to change his training by running faster in just a short distance, he unexpectedly lost fat without much effort. He seemed to do everything against the book, yet he saw desirable results. Running faster at a shorter distance, lifting weights, but with fewer reps, not counting calories or tracking macros, and not sacrificing eating delicious foods.
He wants to influence and help people with this strategy - on paper, it wasn’t supposed to work, yet it has been effective with the people he trained. How is this possible? Learn from him in this episode as he shares why we should eat protein-dominant real food, what workouts work, and how our cravings can be our body’s signals to inform as what we need. He even gives his personal two rules in health and fitness - one that includes to never go hungry! Listen to know more.

“You need to make progress like intentionality is paired with progress. Because if you're not pushing your body to do something that it's uncomfortable doing, it has no reason to physiologically adapt to any stimulus, right? You need to give your body stimulus that it's not accustomed to if you want your body to look or perform in a way it hasn't performed before.” - Alex Feinberg

The ketogenic diet was developed in the 1920s as a cure for epilepsy, but when epilepsy medications hit the market, the diet was entirely forgotten. Thomas Seyfried remembers that 35 years ago at Yale University, the challenge was to do something about epilepsy. At that time, it was a prime area of research in neurology. From mapping epilepsy genes, he studied ketogenic diets and how lowering blood sugar and elevating ketones could help manage epilepsy and even cancer.
For years, there has been resistance towards metabolic therapy as it's not a standard of care. However, Thomas is optimistic that this will shift soon due to an increasing body of scientific evidence and testimony from patients who have survived the treatment. He goes into great detail about how the ketogenic diet aids in the management of epilepsy, how metabolic therapies function, and why the diet and lifestyle of today are the cause of the prevalence of cancer. It seems like he squeezed a semester's worth of lessons into this jam-packed episode. You might find yourself wanting to sign up for his class as well.

30:33 Metabolic therapies will soon be the standard of care for managing cancer
37:24 The downstream effect of altered metabolism
44:11 The need to keep the mitochondria healthy
49:32 The protocols and the benefits of metabolic therapy
Get to know our guest:Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., is a professor at Boston College and has worked on various research on how metabolic therapy can manage epilepsy and cancer.
“If I develop the drug in my lab that can do what metabolic therapy can do, oh, you'd say you cure cancer. Yeah, this is the best thing in the world. They would be just running over each other to get this drug. But it can happen. But it's not happening from a drug. It's happening from an entire physiological change. And the body is a healing machine. The body can heal itself if you give it the opportunity, don't stand in the way of the body's ability to heal.”

Siobhan Huggins grew up with a negative self-image. At 18, she was obese and developed depression. Whenever she tried a new diet, her depression symptoms would get worse. Later on, she was diagnosed with lymphedema.
Her mom encouraged her to learn more about the ketogenic diet. She decided to do keto strictly for 2 months. The changes she experienced - from losing weight to improving her mental health - made her stick with it. This gave her the drive to research more about its benefits.
Siobhan knew how the ketogenic diet became instrumental to the improvement of her physical health and mental wellness. The presence of the keto community reminded her that she was not alone in this journey and that kept her going. In this episode, Siobhan shares that amidst her obesity, depression, and lymphedema, her choice to do a carnivore diet and the support system of the community contributed big time to where she is now, and she continues to give back to help others too.

Animals fed with the food they don't eat in the wild end up sick. The same thing happens with humans. We get sick with obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. This is Dr. Chaffee’s perspective when it comes to approaching medicine. From different literature and studies, he deep dives into them to learn and see what is applicable in real life. His practice as a carnivore and his research made him well-informed to counter arguments thrown at him about the carnivore lifestyle.
As a medical doctor currently training in neurosurgery, he witnessed the benefits of the carnivore to patients. The great effect of this diet on people’s chronic pain made him eager to go beyond surgery and recommend dietary changes for the wellness of his patients.
Dr. Chaffee shares with us in this episode facts on our human omnivorous past, the origins of his interest in neurosurgery, and why a carnivorous diet is optimal for humans.

Get to know our guest:
Dr. Anthony Chaffee started his carnivore journey back in his early 20s as a professional athlete. He is a medical doctor and has always been interested in diet and nutrition. He is currently doing his neurosurgery training in Australia.
"I like being able to get a call, see a patient, make a decision right then just do something for them right there. And be able to save their life and so that sit well with me and my personality and how I like to approach medicine, and then the chronic stuff as well, chronic pain, back pain, a lot of people don't like that. I don't like it either, in a sense, but since coming around to the carnivore thing and seeing people's health and chronic pain be just drastically improved by removing certain things from their diet, I find that I can help more people than otherwise thought possible just by recommending some dietary changes." - Dr. Anthony Chaffee

May your actions always align with your values and goals.
That’s how Ryan Munsey signs his book called, "F*ck Your Feelings: Master Your Mind, Accomplish Anything and Become a More Significant Human." His background is in Food Science and Human Nutrition, but he never took the clinical route. Rather than be frustrated with people who are not interested in the diet or lifestyle change they need, he opted to work with those who are willing to achieve optimal performance. He witnessed how people would now and then fail with their workout plans. Why are their actions not aligned with the goals that they want? That question made him learn more about the psychological side of behavior change and performance.
Did he find answers? In this episode, Ryan revealed lessons about our feelings being the drivers of our decisions and the possibility of even changing our physiology to change our mental experience, and the value of mindset and awareness.

Get to know our guest:Ryan Munsey has a degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition. He has coached Olympic and professional athletes and Special Forces Operators. He hosts the podcast Better Human Project.
“ The magic bullet is the awareness. Right? It's catching yourself in the moment. Right? Awareness creates choice. And in that moment, we have a choice. Do I want to continue letting my feelings run the show? Or do I want to make an alternative decision? Do I want to choose aligned with goals and values? ”

Keto without the crazy. Low-carb and keto-oriented nutritionist Amy Berger's goal is to provide information about the keto diet without the fuss of different apps, spending too much, or weighing every molecule of food.
Her knowledge of low-carb diet started during her college years, thanks to Dr. Atkins and his book New Diet Revolution. She was already practicing low-carb diet when she took her master's degree in human nutrition. Already aware of its effects and benefits, it prompted her to delve deeper into its relation to different metabolic syndromes, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid, and depression.
In this episode, she shares the life-changing information she got from her studies on Alzheimer's disease as her graduate thesis, the heartbreak of seeing people misdiagnosed for decades, and the tips she has on how to get lab tests even without a doctor’s consent.

Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng wants you not to end up in the ICU.
An ICU doctor and a department head at the Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Kwadwo knows metabolic disease is a massive driver of poor outcomes. Studies even established the link between poor metabolic health and COVID outcomes. But what do we do to treat that? When doctors focus primarily on sick care, they hardly ask anymore why the patient landed there in the first place.
And that's what we need. We have to talk about the root cause to find the solutions.
The inefficiency of the healthcare system prompted him to start his podcast "Solving Healthcare" which aims to empower healthcare workers to think out of the box. There's always a way to provide better care. The patients deserve that. Maybe the needle is yet to be moved, but the message is getting there.

“You gotta be able to look yourself in the mirror, like, your compass for making decisions is in your values. And my values are always personally along do the right thing. Justice. Be courageous. And I don't feel it felt the same. We both have taken heat in different ways. And yeah, but at the end of the day, I can honestly say we both can look at yourselves in the mirror and say we were doing our best.”

The year was 2004. It was the year Kevin Pho - a board-certified internal medicine physician - launched his blog. Blogging physicians are still uncommon. Sometimes in the exam room, patients would tell him how helpful his blog posts are.
As doctors only get to spend 10-15 minutes with their patients, their questions remain unanswered. Kevin knows there's a need for more medical professionals to influence the online space, provide reliable sources of information, and at the same time clear up a lot of misinformation.
Medical professionals must be present where the patients are, even online. Kevin's platform, KevinMD.com, continues to be the space for health care practitioners and patients alike to share their perspectives and stories.
Kevin Pho discusses how to select reliable information and ignore crappy sources, the value of acknowledging mistakes, and the truth about physicians' lack of empowerment.

He has published a book, “Establishing, Managing, and Protecting Your Online Reputation: A Social Media Guide for Physicians and Medical Practices.”
“But after doing this for almost 20 years now, I think one of my strengths is that I'm able to stick with something for a long time now. So, I played on that strength, and that I'm able to be consistent, I'm able to be persistent, despite failures. And that's actually served me well to overcome a lot of the obstacles that I've had during those 20 years.” - Kevin Pho

Nick Norwitz was diagnosed with osteoporosis in his late teens. Not long after, he developed gut problems and ulcerative colitis. At one point in his early 20's, he ended up in the ICU with a heart rate the same as his age.
Who would have thought that this young man used to be a healthy, active guy who ran three-hour marathons?
While lying in ICY, he realized he had 3 options:
- live a horrible life
- die
- figure things out for himself.
He chose to take responsibility for his own health. He experimented with lifestyle and dietary interventions. The Ketogenic diet improved his symptoms and his inflammatory markers dropped to their lowest level.
These effects sparked his interest in nutrition and metabolic health. He now pursues medical studies at Harvard Medical School and continues to advocate metabolic health.
In this episode, Nick talks about his journey to healing, being "metabolically woke," and how he wants science to be more accessible to people.

Get to know our guest:
Nick Norwitz has a PhD from Oxford University and currently is a medical student at Harvard Medical School. He has published several scientific papers and co-authored a book on ketogenic diet called, “The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook.”
“The most unique aspect of my story is that it's not unique at all. I see this motif now everywhere where someone's desperate. They're a little hopeless. They try this, and it works. And then they become really passionate about it. And that's how the community builds.” - Nick Norwitz

Dr. Nick Greiner describes his practice as direct primary care and regenerative medicine. Labeled by some as alternative medicine or even quackery, he witnessed how regenerative therapy and lifestyle changes helped his mother who suffered from illness in her 40s.
Doctors have always used pharmaceuticals or procedures as their first line of treatment. For Dr. Greiner, the question “Why did this happen in the first place? What is going on with their life that we have to address?” may provide more answers to help treat the patients. From nutrition, exercise, and even increasing one’s peace, he shares in this episode his priority to address the person’s biggest drop in the bucket, lifestyle intervention, and why you should get some good safe sunlight during the day and use blue blockers at night.

“So, for me, that's what when I say or when I'm talking to somebody that says we need to change or what's wrong with health care? I'm thinking to myself, okay, how do we make these trends that are going in such an awful direction, how do we make them go the other way, right? How do we improve on that?” - Dr. Nick Greiner

You are meant to be obese.
You will not get better.
You will always be unhealthy.
Once we repeatedly hear or say these limiting beliefs, we start to accept them as truths. It prevents us to live the lives we truly want. Kari Keith emphasizes that we have a choice. Mindsets can change. We can overcome our limiting beliefs.
As a health coach, Kari discovered that even with all the nutrition advice she gives her clients, progress is difficult if they don't believe they can change their habits. It prompted her to dive deeper into psychology and mindset. From building an inner dialogue to sacred self-journaling, Kari provides ways for her clients to commune with themselves better.

As a certified personal trainer, he applies clinical data, hard science, and evidence from study together with practical, real-world applications. He maintains a reputation for educating his clients based on knowledge and intellect. The goal is to make diet simple yet effective so more people can understand it.

And we can see these training traditions, or these eating practices even, they have been done for very, very, very long periods of time. They routinely produce exceptional health outcomes, we should study those things, we should weigh that as like, okay, that's significant. Something in there is right. It is correct. It's truthful, it's good information, it’s good practices. It's reflective of our biology." - AJAC

Dr. Sean O’Mara was an emergency medicine physician. In that role, he treated people from all walks of life. And it was obvious, even the wealthiest people failed at being healthy.
Despite being a doctor, he wasn't in good shape himself. In addition to being overweight, he suffered from several other chronic health issues.
A patient confronted him about his weight and introduced him to the paleo diet. That's all it took for him to realize how much impact even a small change in diet could have on overall health. His medical training utterly failed to prepare him to understand the changes that he experienced from changing his diet.
He became a researcher for the purpose of learning more about how to reverse chronic disease. He found that there is nothing more effective at eradicating chronic disease than visceral fat as a biomarker. He believes that the availability of knowledge on how dietary lifestyle changes reverse chronic diseases will significantly help his patients and the healthcare system.

Get to know our guest: Dr. Sean O’Mara is trained as an emergency medicine physician and currently works as a health and performance optimizing physician. He served in the military and was selected to be a physician to the president, vice president, and secretary of the state of the USA. As a researcher, his focus is on how to get rid of chronic diseases.
“So, I have great hope that the body of knowledge that is available, that once it's packaged up in a form that can be consumed and distributed through probably companies will be embraced by corporate America because they'll be able to reduce their highest, their second highest operating costs behind salaries and wages. Our employee expenses for healthcare, they'll be able to reduce that. And then secondly, there'll be an increase in employee productivity.” - Dr. Sean O’Mara

The confusion over diet or nutrition is because patients have no idea what to eat. It's not a lack of money or a busy schedule.
A physician assistant turned culinary and nutrition educator, Shefaly Ravula provides a personalized approach to her patients to develop their diet plan. When her father, a vegetarian and a thin man, had a heart attack, she was left perplexed. It was an example of TOFI - thin outside, fat inside. The experience made her immerse herself to study nutrition for cardiac health. She also studied cardiology and even lipidology. She attended different conferences on integrative medicine, functional medicine, and culinary medicine.
She now focuses on teaching food-as-medicine cooking classes. Her desire is to help address diseases with the right food to eat. She continues to work with cardiologists and gastroenterologists to help the patients improve their health through proper diet.

That was the advice Nayiri Mississian received as a type 1 diabetic. She learned that it didn't improving her blood sugars. No matter what she did, her blood sugars continue to rise. The one thing she didn't try was slashing the carbs from her diet.
A chance encounter with Jason Fung persuaded her to adapt low carb diet and extended fasting in her lifestyle. Her blood sugar improved. She took her bio-hacking even further with extended fasting. The "experts" say diabetics shouldn't fast. Yet she found that extended fasts helped to reset her insulin sensitivity.
Her biohacking led to optimized health, stable blood sugars and reduced insulin needs.
She shares scientific information about low carbs and fasting in her website and social media platforms.

People come to Dr. Howard J. Luks because of shoulder or knee pain, but his findings led him to advise his patients about their metabolic health. As an orthopedic surgeon, he has studied the links between metabolic health disorders and their consequences on bones, cartilage, and soft tissues.

Dr. Howard J. Luks is an orthopedic surgeon in New York for 25 years. He studied the root causes of why people aren’t aging well, chronic pains, and their connections to metabolic health. His book “Longevity… Simplified” gives people simple, actionable advice to be metabolically healthy.
“There is a root cause for many of the chronic diseases that are going to come for us. I wanted to get across the concept that these diseases are area under the curve issues that they are often interrelated and can complement or worsen each other's presence. And I want to keep people out of rabbit holes at a strict elimination diet away from buying supplements that aren't going to work or sweating and throwing up on a peloton. So, I wanted to provide them with really a simple, actionable advice.” - Dr. Howard J. Luks

Dr. Chris Palmer is known to use low carbohydrate ketogenic diets for patients with treatment-resistant mental disorders. Initially using this diet for weight loss, he also saw how it improved his patients’ mental health. As a traditionally-trained psychiatrist, it was hard for him to believe the results. He learned more about the ketogenic diet's connection to treating epilepsy and how it benefits other mental illnesses. Mainstream psychiatry is now looking at further research about the ketogenic diet. Instead of just focusing on addressing the symptoms, the studies can now lead to effectively understanding and treating mental disorders.

Dr. Chris Palmer has been a psychiatrist for over 25 years. He is also an educator, an assistant professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and the director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at the McLean Hospital. He has pioneered the use of the ketogenic diet for psychiatric disorders. He is set to release his book “Brain Energy” in November.
“And in fact, it's a match made in heaven in many ways. Numerous ways. So, this diet changes neurotransmitter systems. So, it's consistent with the chemical imbalance theory of mental illness. It's rebalancing chemical imbalances.” – Dr. Chris Palmer

"Never take nutrition advice from a fat doctor."
When Dr. Ken Berry tweeted that, he received a lot of blowback, but trust him, he knows what he’s saying. It is hard to listen to somebody when he can't even fix himself. In his mid-thirties, Dr. Berry was overweight and suffered from a wide range of health issues. As a family physician, he was aware of how terrible his nutritional advice were. And so, as part of his self-healing and his desire to help others to live healthy lives, he began to seek answers.
In search of the optimal diet, the paleo-anthropological literature gave this clear answer: our ancestors ate fatty meats. This led him to the ketogenic diet. He made it a 30-day challenge at first, a temporary weight loss hack. He was losing a lot of weight, and his other medical problems – type-2 diabetes, chronic pains, severe reflux – we’re all gone. He recommended that his patients try keto for 90 days and the results were consistent. They started losing weight. The chronic pains were getting better. No more heartburn. Reversing type 2 diabetes. Reversing fatty liver.
These results all begged the same question: was it because of keto?
Dr. Berry's passion for good health and the benefits of the ketogenic diet came with a price. It hasn't been easy. But he refuses to back down. As long as he gets to help humans to be healthy and not be crippled by disease, there is no stopping him.

35:59 Improving one’s health is improving the health of the planet
42:45 Humans as carnivores throughout history
49:19 The fad diet
50:45 The mission for optimal health and the price he has to pay
Get to know our guest:
Dr. Ken Berry grew up in Texas, studied medicine in University of Tennessee and became a family physician. He started reading far and wide to learn proper diet. This made him do the ketogenic diet. He continued to recommend this diet to his patients because of continuous favorable results. He shares his journey and lessons in his YouTube channel and he has written a book, “Lies My Doctor Told Me.”
“You're a bad doctor if you're not thinking about every piece of advice you give, every single patient, you're not a good doctor and you need to come to grips with that. And you need to decide how you're going to fix that.” – Dr. Ken Berry

You'd think an athletic guy who's always been fit and active would "get it." You'd think if he went into the fitness industry and worked for a big gym as a trainer, he'd "get it." You'd think if he got advanced certification in personal training and nutrition coaching, he'd "get it." You'd think if his wife was in the same business, they'd both "get it."
And you'd be wrong.
It wasn't until they observed hundred of clients fail year after year, that Casey Ruff and wife Bethany began to question the things they'd been taught about metabolism, exercise and diet. They realized the conventional wisdom was - in a word - wrong.
In this entertaining hour, Casey Ruff explains his transformation from an educated-but-ignorant trainer to one of the more respected health and nutrition coaches in the world today.

On his Facebook page, Dr. Stephen Hussey's bio says he is "a health coach who helps people achieve high levels of health. He specializes in heart health and autoimmune issues."
In an industry in which so-called "Experts" make all forms of exaggeration and hyperbole a regular routine, this two-sentence biography stands out for sheer understatement.
Dr. Stephen Hussey's research into the role of "structured water" in the body led to a heretical-yet-scientifically-sound conclusion: the heart and its functions in the body have been misunderstood by the medical profession. Since heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States, the implications for healthcare are staggering.

He was "Low Carb" when "Low Carb" wasn't cool. Dr. William Davis's book Wheat Belly started the conversation about the changes in wheat since 1980. A cardiologist by training, he was frustrated with the lack of healing he observed in his patients, in spite of adhering to official guidelines.
We talked about his transformation from a traditional cardiologist to one of the leading voices in the metabolic health field. We discuss the role of supplements, hormones, and the surprising importance of probiotics in restoring and maintaining metabolic health. We finish up with a surprising twist - symptom-specific probiota.

Food Industry
- A cottage industry has sprung up around metabolic health
- US Wellness Meats was a major sponsor
- https://grasslandbeef.com/
The meeting was attended by Researchers, Clinicians and Patients. A wide range of diseases being addressed with metabolic health, including cancer and mental health.

One of our most entertaining conversations ever, with the ebullient Low-Carb MD, Brian Lenzkes. We get to hear about the differences between a medical office that depends on insurance for payment and one that doesn't. We learn about a grotesque misalignment of incentives between physicians, insurance companies and patients - who wins, and who loses. And we learn about the doctor banned for giving nutrition advice to his own patients.
As always, if you wanna know who's really calling the shots, follow the money.

He was a 21 year old college athlete. Fit, active, successful. And something was very wrong with his body. The diagnosis was ulcerative colitis, an "incurable" autoimmune disease. After several years of trying to learn to "just live with it," he was fed up. He vowed to find a way to cure himself. And he did.
In this episode, we learn the amazing story of Mr. Salozzo - Brett Ender - and how he did something the doctors said was impossible - heal himself with food.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. That day Charles Mayfield got himself a severe sunburn probably didn't feel like the day his life would be revolutionized. But it was. With no skincare or sunburn relief products in the house, he was forced to improvise. In the process, he stumbled onto a way to care for skin that our great-grandparents took to be common knowledge. It's not so much a revolution as a rediscovery of something our generation forgot.

At a family event in 2011, a photographer asked Bill Vogel - multiple times - to button his suit coat. He couldn't because he'd gained too much weight. Bill says he was "totally embarrassed" in front of family and friends.
That was the turning point.
When he got home, he weighed himself: 297 pounds on a 6'6" frame. He vowed never to weigh that much again. He did his research, and found a plan to lose weight and that he could sustain: low carb, low sugar, low grains.
In one year, he lost all 70 pounds and has kept the weight off since then. In 2016, he was diagnosed with Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
This is the story of not one but two extraordinary victories.

Dr. Philip Ovadia did everything right, but he was still fat.
As a child. As a teenager. As a student at medical school. Even as a cardiac surgeon.
Both his parents were obese. Both eventually had gastric bypass surgery. He resigned himself to being “genetically destined” for obesity.
(Regrettably, this was another concept taught in med school.)
He saw obesity every day, both in the mirror and in the hospital where he treated obese and diabetic people on a daily basis.
Then, in 2015, everything changed.
He went from obese cardiac surgeon to a Rebel MD doing his best to keep people out of his office and off his operating table.
This is his story.
