The Health Pulse

Feeling constantly exhausted—even after a full night’s sleep? Chronic fatigue is often dismissed as stress or aging, but it’s usually your body waving a red flag. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we uncover the often-missed medical causes of persistent fatigue and the tests that can finally bring answers.

We explore how low ferritin levels can leave you energy-depleted even when standard iron panels look fine, and why TSH-only t...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more than a bedroom issue—it's often the body's first signal that something deeper is wrong. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we uncover the metabolic and vascular roots of ED that are frequently overlooked in standard care.

You’ll learn how insulin resistance silently damages the blood vessels required for healthy erections—often years before diabetes is diagnosed. We also dive into the li...

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have taken the weight loss world by storm—but with their rapid rise comes a hidden danger. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we expose the growing number of online services offering quick access to these powerful drugs—often without essential safety checks.

We break down the three types of GLP-1 providers you’ll encounter online—from legitimate telehealth practices to risky ove...

The weight loss world is shifting fast—and the battle between prescription medications like semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and nutrition-based strategies like the ketogenic diet is front and center. Which one delivers the best results? And more importantly, which is right for you?

In this episode of The Health Pulse, we compare these powerful approaches head-to-head, exploring five key areas: weight loss outcomes, metabolic health ben...

Ever wonder what secrets your blood holds about your future health? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore the powerful world of advanced blood biomarkers—the tools transforming how we prevent disease and personalize wellness. From high-sensitivity CRP and fasting insulin to ApoB and thyroid function markers, you'll learn why “normal” lab results often miss the early warning signs of chronic disease.

We unpack how subt...

Could the root cause of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes be hiding in your gut? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore groundbreaking research that links gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, and chronic inflammation to the development of insulin resistance—long before blood sugar levels start to spike.

We break down how harmful shifts in the gut microbiome can disrupt insulin signaling, trigger systemic ...

Fibromyalgia affects millions with its relentless mix of chronic pain, exhaustion, and the mental haze known as "fibro fog." For many, traditional treatments offer little relief—leaving patients searching for alternatives. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore one of the most controversial yet increasingly talked-about approaches: the carnivore diet.

Can eating only animal-based foods actually reduce pain, clear ...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we challenge one of the most entrenched narratives in modern medicine: that LDL cholesterol is the primary cause of heart disease. Inspired by the work of Dr. Paul Mason, we explore a compelling new framework that puts the spotlight on inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction as the real culprits behind cardiovascular events.

We unpack why nearly half of heart attack vi...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we take a deep dive into the hidden history and health consequences of industrial seed oils—like soybean, corn, and sunflower oil. Once byproducts of industrial processes, these chemically refined oils have become staples in the modern diet, marketed as “heart-healthy” alternatives to traditional fats like butter and olive oil.

But the science tells a different story. We explore how exces...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we go beyond the hype to explore the true metabolic power of the ketogenic diet. While keto is often marketed for fast weight loss, its deeper value lies in how it transforms energy metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports cellular health.

We break down what happens when your body switches from burning glucose to producing and using ketones, and how this shift impacts blood ...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we go beyond the outdated “cholesterol clogs arteries” model and explore the modern science of atherosclerosis—a dynamic process involving oxidized LDL, inflammation, immune activation, and metabolic dysfunction.

Learn how damaged arteries, oxidized LDL particles, and foam cell formation drive plaque buildup, and why markers like ApoB, hs-CRP, and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio offer a more ac...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we dive into the powerful and controversial theory that cancer may be driven more by metabolic dysfunction than by genetic mutations. Drawing on the research of Dr. Thomas Seyfried and the foundational work of Otto Warburg, we explore how damaged mitochondria and altered energy metabolism could be the true origin of cancer.

Learn how cancer cells rely on glucose and glutamine fermentation...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we reveal how insulin resistance may be the hidden cause behind many cases of high blood pressure. Up to 75% of people with hypertension also have insulin resistance—even if they don’t have diabetes—making this metabolic dysfunction a major factor in cardiovascular health.

We break down the science: how elevated insulin levels increase sodium retention, blood vessel constriction, and impa...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we explore the growing evidence that the ketogenic diet may do more than manage type 2 diabetes—it could help reverse it. Once viewed as a progressive disease, type 2 diabetes is now being reexamined through a metabolic lens, with keto offering a direct way to lower insulin demand, improve blood sugar control, and reduce medication dependence.

Learn how ketosis works, what the research sh...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we explore the growing global issue of metabolic syndrome—a condition that significantly increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. But there’s good news: the latest research shows that targeted dietary and lifestyle changes can do more than just manage symptoms—they can help reverse metabolic dysfunction altogether.

Learn how refined carbs, added sugars, and fruct...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we break down what your cholesterol panel is really telling you—not just about your heart, but about your liver health and overall metabolism. Inspired by Dr. Robert Lustig’s insights, we cut through the confusion around total cholesterol, LDL particle size, and triglyceride-to-HDL ratios to help you better interpret your lab results.

Learn why small dense LDL particles, not LDL alone, ar...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we reveal the often-overlooked connection between high blood pressure and insulin resistance. While hypertension is typically treated as a standalone condition, research shows that 50-75% of people with primary hypertension also have insulin resistance—even without diabetes.

Learn how insulin affects more than just blood sugar, playing critical roles in sodium retention, blood vessel cons...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we explore low testosterone—a condition that affects far more than sex drive. From muscle loss and brain fog to increased belly fat and mood changes, declining testosterone levels can impact nearly every system in a man’s body.

We break down the most common signs of Low T, explore modern lifestyle factors that are accelerating hormonal decline, and discuss both natural strategies and medi...

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we dive deep into the cellular consequences of high sugar intake, examining how it drives insulin resistance and damages mitochondrial function—the energy powerhouses of your cells.
