Turn the package around. Forget the beautiful picture on the front. Forget “natural.” Forget “high protein.” Forget “keto friendly.” Forget “made with whole grains.” Or gluten free or organic, or whatever Forget the little green leaves they put on the package to make you think something wonderful just came out of somebody's garden! Turn it around and look at what's actually in it. Because today we're talking about ultra-processed foods, food additives and something called GRAS—Generally Recognized As Safe.

Longevity. Everybody wants to know how to live to 100. What should I eat? What supplement should I take? Should I fast? Should I take NAD? Should I sit in a sauna, jump into an ice bath, wear a continuous glucose monitor and track every minute of my sleep? But I think we're starting with the wrong question. Live To100
Where did this belly come from?” Maybe you're 48, 55 or 65, and suddenly your body doesn't seem to be following the same rules anymore. You're eating pretty much the way you've always eaten. Maybe the number on the scale hasn't even changed that much. But your pants don't fit. Your waistline is disappearing. And the weight that used to settle around your hips and thighs seems to have packed its bags and moved straight to your belly! And inevitably I hear: “I'm doing everything I used to do, and it isn't working anymore.” There's a reason for that. Menopause belly isn't simply about calories. C
Now, if I had mentioned creatine 20 years ago, you probably would have pictured a young guy in the gym trying to build enormous biceps. But today we're having a very different conversation about creatine. The new conversation is about women and healthy aging. We're talking about preserving muscle as we age. We're talking about menopause. We're talking about the brain. We're even talking about what happens to our brains when we don't get enough sleep. CREATINE 8-30-26
Your gut makes weight-loss hormones. Now, most of us think of the digestive tract as basically a long tube. Food goes in, nutrients get absorbed, waste comes out. But your gut is oh so much more than that. Your intestinal tract is actually part of your endocrine system- your whole hormone system that I wrote about in my book-Get out of Hormone Hell 6 Heavenly Steps to Lose weight, feel great and reverse aging. The gut contains specialized cells called enteroendocrine cells that sense when and what you eat and release hormones in response. Microbiome and GLP-1
Protein is having a moment! Walk through the grocery store and suddenly everything is “high protein.” We have protein cereal, protein bars, protein chips, protein pancakes, protein ice cream—you name it, manufacturers have figured out they need to put the word protein on the front of the package. A new word: proteinmaxxing—trying to pack as much protein as possible into your day. But do we really need all of this protein? Are Americans protein deficient? Can you get too much? And maybe the most important question for those of us who want to stay healthy, active and independent as we age: Shoul
Maybe you have considered taking GLP-1 or your friends have lost 30-40 or even 50+ pounds. There is not judgement here. It can be lifesaving for many people. Today, we're going to talk about what GLP-1 actually is, why so many people have lost the ability to produce and respond to it optimally, and then we'll discuss practical, natural ways to boost it and finally, how to minimize side effects if you choose to take one of these medications. GLP-1
Today we're going to explore how fasting interacts with women's hormones and why the best approach often changes throughout different stages of life. One of the biggest mistakes in the nutrition world is assuming that if something works for one person, it should work for everyone. Human biology doesn't work that way. Women have a much more dynamic hormonal environment than men. iNSULIN RESISTANCE AND FASTING 7-26
If I could wave a magic wand and help every listener understand one thing about their health, it might be this: Insulin resistance. It isn't glamorous. It doesn't get the attention that cholesterol, blood pressure, or even weight loss gets. But insulin resistance may be the hidden driver behind many of the health problems we see today. Weight gain. Fatigue. Prediabetes. Type 2 diabetes. Fatty liver disease. Heart disease. Brain fog. Acne. PCOS- yes it has finally been renamed PMOS-(m for metabolic) And even cognitive decline. The good news? Insulin resistance is reversible. And one of the most
What if one of the most powerful tools for protecting your brain isn't found in a prescription bottle? What if it isn't a supplement? What if it's simply giving your brain a break from eating? Now before you think I've lost my mind, stay with me. Many people assume that if they skip a meal, their brain will stop working. We've been told for years that we need constant fuel, constant snacks, and a steady stream of glucose to keep our brains functioning. Yet when many people begin practicing fasting or time-restricted eating, they report something unexpected. They feel sharper. They think more c
Today we're tackling one of the hottest topics in medicine, nutrition, and weight loss. GLP-1 medications. You know them by names like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. You've seen the commercials. You've heard the celebrity stories. You probably know someone taking one. Maybe you're taking one yourself. These medications have transformed the conversation around weight loss, and for many people they have been life-changing. But they've also raised some important questions. Can we naturally stimulate our own GLP-1? And now, Can fasting provide some of the same benefits? And is the future
Have you ever noticed that some people reach their 80s, 90s, and even 100 years old and are still active, engaged, sharp, and enjoying life, while others struggle many decades earlier? What is their secret? Is it genetics? Is it luck? Is there some special supplement they've discovered? As it turns out, the answer is probably much simpler—and much more encouraging—than you might think. Today we're beginning a conversation about longevity and one of the most fascinating discoveries in aging research: the possibility that periods of fasting may help activate some of the body's natural repair and
Today we're going to explore the fascinating history of fasting, what science is discovering about its benefits, and why taking a break from food may be one of the most powerful tools we have for improving health. But now, it seems like everywhere you turn someone is talking about intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, fasting for longevity, fasting for weight loss, or fasting for brain health. Fasting Mimicking Diet
Information -True-Fake? It is all over the internet, With artificial intelligence, fake authority videos are becoming harder and harder to recognize. Videos can imitate doctors. Voices can be cloned. Images can be manipulated. People can sound incredibly convincing while spreading completely inaccurate information. You would swear it is Oprah, or Dr Oz, me or even Bobby Kennedy Jr. hawking something that you can’t get anywhere else. Now let me say this clearly: There is wonderful health education online today. There are excellent practitioners sharing valuable information. BUT… AI- Beware
Now when most people think about gut health, they think about symptoms like: Bloating. Gas. Constipation. Heartburn. Maybe indigestion after meals. But your gut is connected to and influences every major system in the body. Your immune system. Your metabolism. Your hormones. Your brain. Your mood. Your skin. Your energy. Even how you fast or slowly you age. In many ways, the gut acts like the foundation of health. Happy gut Happy life
Let me ask you a question today… are you tired of being tired? So many people are exhausted right now. They wake up tired, depend on caffeine all day long, hit the afternoon wall around 2 or 3 o’clock, and then somehow become wired at bedtime. OR wake up and toss and turn in the wee hours. They drag themselves through the next day wondering, “What is wrong with me?” and where is the sugary coffee to get me through. And sadly, many people have accepted fatigue as normal. It’s not! Why Are You SO Tired?
Today we are talking about one of the most misunderstood nutrients in modern nutrition — protein. And honestly, I believe this may be one of the biggest missing pieces in healthy aging today. I see so many adults over 50 struggling with: Weight gain. Fatigue. Weakness. Brain fog. Blood sugar problems. Loss of muscle tone.- getting flabbier. Slow metabolism. Poor recovery. And feeling older than they should. Protein After 50
today we’re talking about something that sounds complicated and scientific—but it affects nearly every aspect of your health. Because if you struggle with fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, hormone imbalance, anxiety, depression, poor detoxification, feel like bad health just “runs in the family”, cardiovascular concerns, or just feeling older than you should… methylation may be part of the story. Unlocking Your Chemistry
Now, most people only think about uric acid if someone has gout. You know—the painful swelling in the big toe that historically was called “the disease of kings.” That was because the kings ate rich food the poor people, who were healthier, couldn’t afford the refined food. Now about all of us can eat like kings and that isn’t good. According to neurologist and researcher David Perlmutter in his fascinating book Drop Acid, elevated uric acid may be quietly damaging metabolic health long before gout ever develops Uric Acid Secrets
Cancer Prevention: Changing the Conversation You know, when most people hear the word cancer, there’s an immediate reaction. Fear. It seems every day we hear about another friend, relative, or loved one with the diagnosis. The last month, that has hit my family-again- and fuels my motivation to help you prevent that diagnosis for yourself. No Cancer Allowed
Today we’re going to talk about something that sits at the root of almost every chronic disease we see today. It’s called chronic inflammation. Now when most people hear the word inflammation, they think of something obvious — maybe a swollen ankle, a red rash, or a painful joint. Actually, that type of inflammation is actually a good thing. It may hurt but It’s your body’s emergency response system. If you cut your finger, your immune system rushes in to stop infection and repair tissue. You get redness, swelling, heat — and then healing. That’s called acute inflammation, and it’s just a beau
Now if you’ve been following the Making America Healthy Again movement, or what I like to call MYHA — Making YOU Healthy Again, you’ve probably heard this conversation starting to bubble up everywhere. People are asking: Are seed oils healthy? Are they inflammatory? And why are they suddenly in everything we eat? Don’t they reduce cholesterol? Today I want to walk you through what seed oils are, how they’re actually made, and why many metabolic health experts are raising concerns about them. And like always, I’m going to break this down so it makes sense and is practical for real life. Seed Oi
And today we’re going to talk about a Mediterranean village that has captured the attention of longevity researchers: including me. As the decades click by, life becomes more dear with each passing day. Acciaroli, Italy is a tiny seaside village, home to an unusually large number of people living into their 90s and even past 100 years old. Now what makes this so interesting is not just that they live a long time. It’s that many of them live well. They continue walking the village streets, tending gardens, and sharing meals and going to church with neighbors. No cataracts, cardiovascular profil
But like many powerful medical tools, there’s an important conversation happening right now about benefits, risks, and long-term metabolic consequences. So today we’re going to walk through: • what GLP-1 medications are • how they work • why they are so effective • the metabolic benefits • and some emerging concerns — including nutritional deficiencies, hair loss, and even cases of scurvy. Yes… scurvy. A disease we normally associate with 17th-century sailors is now occasionally appearing in the conversation around modern weight-loss drugs. GLP-1 - Crutch or Miracle?
Today we’re going to talk about something incredibly important that most people have never heard clearly explained. That is metabolic stress. And this is so much more than how we burn calories. It is about disease prevention. Now most people believe disease appears suddenly. One day you’re fine and the next day the doctor tells you that you have high cholesterol, prediabetes, heart disease, or metabolic syndrome. Or that we just have to start watching your fatty liver! That is so crazy in my mind when that is just like waiting for a bomb to go off! Signs of Metabolic Stress
