In todays episode, Im talking about our food routine, and why many patients with conditions like PCOS, diabetes, heart disease, or Parkinson's are rarely told by doctors to adjust what they eat. I share an example of how a patient with hormone dysfunction was never advised to cut daily Starbucks drinks or replace cereal, lattes, and Lunchables with real food. Food is medication and one meal matter...

In this episode, we're talking about how creatine can help muscles take glucose in more effectively, improve insulin sensitivity, and preserve and build muscle tissue. When muscle tissue is working ideally, it pulls sugar out of your bloodstream and uses it for energy. When muscle is weak, inactive, or shrinking—which happens with age and diabetes—blood sugar doesn't have a place to go. A lot of p...

In today's episode, we're talking about cardiovascular health. Heart disease remains the #1 threat to the quality and quantity of life for Americans. And this is not because of a metformin or statin deficiency. We are pumping these drugs out at all time highs, but have yet to make a dent in heart disease. If you are in the traditional medicinal model, you may not be privy to the fact that there ar...

If you are tired no matter how much you sleep, if workouts feel harder than they should, or if your brain just doesn't feel sharp anymore— it could be iron. Iron deficiency doesn't usually show up as a dramatic crash. It shows up quietly. Gradually. And millions of people are walking around iron deficient without knowing it. Yes, millions!!!! That is a lot of underperforming in life. So today, we'...

Trying to de-bloat and de-puff? Inflammation is usually at the root of weight loss woes. You've done the detox. You've tried the drops, the shakes, the 21-day reset. It works—for a minute. Here's what I need you to understand: you didn't fail. The quick fix failed you. Quick fixes only address the periphery. They don't address the underlying inflammation. They can't. Inflammation isn't a surface-l...

In today's episode, we're talking about optimizing cortisol levels in the evening. We talk a lot about cortisol in the morning. Morning light. Morning protein. Morning routines. All high value, but what may be even more valuable is what happens in our evening hours. From stress (those intensive nighttime conversations), screens, scrolling, blue light, food inputs, alcohol, there is a lot of ground...

In today's episode, we're talking about cortisol. If you wake up tired and wired… your cortisol rhythm is likely flipped. And no amount of coffee is going to fix it. I see and hear the scenario on repeat. Stress, stress, stress…must have too much cortisol, belly fat is accumulating, sleep is fleeting and now the person is convinced they have ADHD. Sure cortisol is related to stress metabolism, but...

In today's episode, I'm answering the question, "can eating organ-based supplements help raise iron levels?" There is no clinical evidence that indicates that beef, liver, spleen supplements raise iron levels, it is only assumed. While I believe they can be helpful in conjunction with iron supplements, I have not seen that organ-based supplements alone, can overcome an iron deficiency. However, re...

In today's episode, I'm talking about creatine - its benefits and addressing common questions I get asked in regard to creatine. If you're over 40 and want more strength, better energy, sharper cognition, and faster recovery, creatine is one of the simplest, most validated upgrades you can make.

In today's episode, we're talking about what breakfast, lunch, and dinner should look like. When it comes to food and what we "should" eat, there seems to be a lot of confusion. I hope after you finish listening to this episode, you'll feel confident in the decisions you are making for yourself and your family, related to food and meals. Do you need to eat three meals a day? No. Like most everythi...

In today's episode, I'm talking about why standard cereal is not food — and what eat instead. Cereal gives the illusion of health, but it's empty, addictive, and exhausting.

In today's episode, we're talking about the energy drink myth. If you've ever reached for an energy drink just to "get through the day," this one's for you. Because here's the truth: energy drinks don't give you energy — they steal it. Stimulation ≠ Energy Most people feel a jolt after drinking a Monster, Bang, or Red Bull and assume that's energy. Caffeine in these drinks blocks adenosine recepto...

In today's episode, I'm talking about pinkwashing. Are you seeing pink on products, billboards, and commercials? October is breast cancer awareness month. We're told we're "fighting breast cancer" by buying more stuff. Unfortunately, this isn't support for women — it's pinkwashing or as I like to say, the corporate rebranding of disease for profit. When companies sell ultra-processed foods, synthe...

In today's episode, we're talking about the unexpected weight gain, disease and dysfunction that can come with aging if the right habits aren't implemented when we're younger. "I don't understand, I have eaten this way my whole life. I haven't changed anything and I have gained 20lbs, my joints ache and I'm constantly bloated."

In today's episode, we're talking about the one thing that has transformed my patients' lives more than anything else over the last decade - real food. I don't mean the stuff lining the center aisles of the grocery store — I mean the life-giving stuff.
