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 matters, even if you m...
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 people with diabetes tell me the sam...
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 are other ways of supporting and invi...
In this episode, I'm sharing a recent YouTube Live where I answer questions regarding overcoming an iron deficiency.

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're answering one of the most common...
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-level problem you can starve away or...

If your health plan for 2026 involves detox teas, meal replacements, or white-knuckling your way through hunger—stop. That plan has already failed.
January is when motivation is high, the gyms are full, all or nothing is on the plate…So today I want to give you a whole-food reset plan that actually works, not for 7 days, but for the next 12 months.
For the next 30 days:
1. No ultra-processed foods
2. No canola, soybean, corn oils

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 to be made in the evenings.
As we ...
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 that's only a small part, say 5% o...
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, research does show that eating red me...
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.
Creatine is a compound your body naturally makes from three amino acids—arginine, glycine, and methionine.
It's stored mostly in the mu...
In today's episode, we're diving into what happens in our body when we drink soda pop. I'm sharing this knowledge to empower you to decide for yourself and your children if soda pop deserves a spot in your home.
I often forget that soda pop is standard operating procedure for most Americans, but then a patient will come in and they are drinking a case of Dr. Pepper or another of late who started their day with a Diet Coke.

If you've ever stirred collagen into your coffee and thought, "Is this actually doing anything… or am I just making an expensive broth-flavored latte?" — this episode is for you.
Today I'm going to answer: When it comes to collagen peptides, what can we actually be sure of? I'll hit: real benefits, risks, timing, and which specific collagen peptides are worth paying for.
Many patients I talk to these days talk about the information...
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 everything related to food nowadays, the re...
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. Breaking our fast with a protein-packed breakfast sets us up for a satiated day with a mind that can stay locked in.

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 receptors in your brain — the ones that no...
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, synthetic makeups loaded with parabens, p...
