Today's Nutrition

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 pe...

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...

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 hea...

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 somethi...

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 foun...

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 c...

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 th...

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....

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...

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 sy...

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,...

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...

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… sc...

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 me...

Because let’s face it—most people don’t worry about brain health until they start misplacing their keys… forgetting names… or walking into a room and wondering why they went there or even what I had for breakfast yesterday. But here’s the important message I want you to hear today: Cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging. In fact, research now suggests that many of the factors driving...

Today we’re going deep — microscopic deep. We’re talking about mitochondria. Now don’t let that word intimidate you. This is not a high school biology lecture. This is about your energy, your metabolism, your brain clarity, your ability to burn fat, your resilience to stress — and yes, even how fast you age. Because mitochondria are the spark plugs of your cells. Power Up Your Mitochondria

I hear a lot of talk on social about a tiny little molecule these days, so I thought I would clear up any misunderstanding and give you the facts.  This little molecule is really important and acts like a master switch for cardiovascular health, metabolic health, brain function, and even performance. That molecule is nitric oxide . Power Up Your Nitric Oxide

It’s the winter metabolic slowdown. You know what I mean. You feel a little more tired A little more snacky. A little less motivated to move. The scale creeps up. Your jeans feel snug. And suddenly you’re wondering, “What happened to my metabolism?” And the winter can even bring on the blues Let me reassure you. Winter metabolic slowdown is not a character flaw. It’s physiology. But here’s the goo...

Today’s topic comes from people asking me if I knew anything about the increase rate of cancers and particularly what doctors are calling “turbo cancers”- coming out of nowhere after covid, and raging through the body with terrifying speed. I was listening to another podcast that featured Dr. Patrick Soon Shiong whose approach to cancer treatment is to strengthen the patient’s immune system- parti...

For decades, we were taught to build our diets on grains, fear protein, fear fat, and count calories—often with disappointing results- metabolic chaos. Today, I am diving deeper into the need for protein and give some suggestions on how to get enough in daily. I know I have struggled to get what is recommended and I have some tips for us more mature in the audience. So grab a cup of coffee, take a...

Today’s show is especially exciting, because we’re going to take a fresh look at the new inverted food pyramid —and what it finally gets right for a population where the majority of Americans are metabolically unwell . Thank you to Secretary Kennedy and the MAHA group dedicated to making America healthy again.  To reverse this huge increase in metabolic disease and chronic disease in general....

Hello my friends, Dr. Deb here —your favorite dietitian and doctor of clinical nutrition and today we’re diving into a supplement that has been hiding in plain sight for decades. In fact, I went to a special session on it back in 1995 at the National Institute of Health in its’ new area of interest- sports nutrition. This supplement is powerful, it’s safe, it’s backed by mountains of research… and...

Today is about progress . It’s about clarity. And it’s about taking charge of your health — because no one else can do that for you. I love the New Year. I really do. A fresh calendar. A clean slate. The blessing of new possibilities. Every year, I intentionally design my year to be the best one yet. Not perfect — but better. This year is extra special because I will be 70 in a couple of weeks and...
