  • There’s been a lot of recent discussion around fasting, and for good reason. But one thing that often slips through the cracks is the differences between men and women, and why women need to take a specific approach to fasting that honors their hormones. You may have heard the recent buzz around fasting and a controversial headline associating it with cardiovascular death (which was not peer-reviewed, by the way). So today, I’m resharing this popular episode with holistic health expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to shed light on what we really know about the safety of fasting, and the dos and don’ts, particularly for women.


    We discuss:

    Will time-restricted eating kill you? Deciphering recent headlinesTwo major issues happening for women: Understanding hormone cycles and an evolutionary mismatch Mindy’s expert approach to managing hormones through fasting Three rules for successfully reintroducing foods Who should avoid fasting?Tips for women over 40 that aren’t being talked about The best way to get a handle on hormone testing

    Fasting can be an incredibly healing practice, but it’s got to be done the right way—especially for women! Learn how to fast while supporting hormonal balance, and so much more, in this episode with Dr. Mindy Pelz.

    There’s a foundational piece of Functional Medicine that surprises many conventional health practitioners: it’s that the health of our gut impacts every other part of the body—even the brain. With 60% of our immune system residing in our gut, it is the first place to look for an imbalance when treating illness.


    In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Raja Dhir about all of the insults to our gut and how to recover gut health using Functional Medicine principles.

    Are you, or someone you know, thinking about starting a family now or in the near future? Typically, the focus on reproductive health falls on the woman, and it begins after conception has already occurred, with minimal emphasis on diet and nutrition beyond prenatal vitamins. 


    However, the pre-conception window is a foundational time for both partners to take charge of their hormonal, metabolic, and overall health to ensure the healthiest sperm and egg possible for a healthy pregnancy and, most importantly, a healthy baby. 


    In today's episode, we're discussing the essential steps both men and women can take to foster a nurturing environment for conception. We'll delve into lab tests and tools to support hormone and reproductive wellness, the challenges and insults of our modern-day lifestyles, and how we can use Functional Medicine to take a proactive approach by embracing diet, supplements, and exercise to prime couples for a successful pregnancy while safeguarding against developmental conditions like autism and ADHD that are doubling, or even tripling from one generation to the next. 


    Whether you're just starting to think about having kids or already on your pregnancy path, this conversation is for you. 


    In this episode I discuss: 

    The importance of the preconception window (3:15)(5:05)How epigenetics impact the preconception window (3:58)(6:01)How parent’s diet and lifestyle imprint their children’s epigenome (5:03)(6:59)Limitations of Conventional Medicine during the preconception window (9:30)(11:26)The Functional Medicine approach to preparing to conceive (12:12)Breakdown of essential nutrients and biomarkers to ensure a healthy pregnancy (15:27)Sex hormone and bonus lab tests (21:00)Optimizing blood sugar and cardiometabolic health before and during pregnancy (22:40)Foods to eat and foods to avoid while gearing up for pregnancy (23:44)Eat your foods in the correct order (protein and fat first, then carbs (36:28)Tips for reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (38:14)The power of exercise, stress, and sleep for a healthy pregnancy (47:24)Supplement recommendations for men and women for the preconception window (51:35)

    There are several different schools of thought behind obesity and metabolic dysfunction, for example, the energy balance model or “calories-in, calories-out” perspective that many people have felt fooled by. While calories certainly are one piece, there is much more to the puzzle of weight management and metabolic health, like hormonal cascades and oxidative stress.


    My guest today is Dr. Robert Lustig, an author and neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He has dedicated his retirement from clinical medicine to help fix the food supply in any way he can, to reduce human suffering, and to promote a collective vision of metabolic health: protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain. 


    In this episode we discuss:

    Is a calorie really just a calorie? (7:24)The surprising truth: All models of energy intake are a little right and a little wrong (9:20)Proven methods for reducing insulin to support weight loss (29:39)What are obesogens and how are they hijacking our metabolic health? (32:00)Reactive oxygen species and aging (and how to reduce them) (38:05)Why glucose and insulin monitoring are powerful levers for metabolic health (42:15)Summing up the facts and our beliefs around calories and weight (47:00)The cellular impact of oxidative stress and chronic stress (54:00)Monch Monch: a new fiber solution for absorbing simple sugars and preventing glucose spikes as well as increasing satiety and boosting microbial diversity (1:02:20)Food addiction in adults and children and addressing the root cause (1:10:45)What actions can we take based on scientific advances to make our lives better? (1:24:15)Why any food that feeds the gut, protects the liver, and supports the brain is a healthy food (1:33:35)Perfact and how to use it to understand what is metabolically healthy at your exact grocery store (1:40:20)

    An estimated 85% of women experience symptoms of menopause that vary from hot flashes to weight gain, brain fog, low mood, sex drive, chronic fatigue, and more. Recognizing menopause as a gradual, uniquely personal transition rather than an abrupt change is crucial. This insight can help empower women to take proactive, supportive measures early on, ensuring a smoother journey through this natural phase of life.


    Today, Dr. Cindy Geyer from the UltraWellness Center joins me as we unravel the Functional Medicine perspective and approach to menopause. Our conversation highlights the crucial role of lab testing in uncovering the root causes of symptoms, paving the way for tailored nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Moreover, we critically examine the limitations of traditional medical approaches and discuss the nuances of hormone replacement therapy, the different forms, and who may benefit the most from this treatment.


    Dr. Cindy Geyer received her Bachelor of Science and her Doctor of Medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The Ultrawellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years.

    The trio of alcohol, caffeine, and sugar are often the centerpiece of social engagements and times of emotional distress. While consuming them from time to time may be okay, overindulging in them can be a recipe for a disaster, leading to inflammation, insulin resistance, disrupted sleep, and more.


    In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Todd LePine, and Dr. Robert Lustig about how the foods we love can often have negative consequences when overconsumed.

    It's easy to overlook the connection between what we eat and how we feel, but in a country where more than 1 in 5 adults are battling mental illness, suicide is on the rise, especially in children, and drug overdoses are at an all-time high, we need to stop and ask why? Why are we witnessing such unprecedented rates of mental illness? The answer lies not only in our modern-day, high-paced, stressful environment but at the end of our forks. 


    In this episode of my Health Bites series, I discuss why our brains are so broken, the root causes driving neuroinflammation, and how this drives disconnection between our prefrontal cortex (the adult in the room) and amygdala (our reactive, child-like brain), causing our anxiety and emotions to take over. We’ll also discuss the research clearly showing how our toxic SAD is a key driver of our mental health crisis and how you can eat (and supplement) your way out of many mental health issues.

    The foods many of us eat every day, like breads and grains, may have an effect on our health in ways we may not even be aware of. From inflammation to a leaky gut, insulin resistance, and even autoimmune conditions, gluten often plays a role in degrading our health, as do modern farming practices that douse grains with harmful pesticides.

    A decrease in libido or difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection during sex are tell-tale signs of erectile dysfunction, and they can be uncomfortable to address.

    In this episode of my Health Bites series, I explore the root causes of erectile dysfunction, delving into the limitations of conventional medicine, the little blue pill, and how we can utilize the power of Functional Medicine by making changes to our diet, lifestyle, and even trying things like supplements, peptides, and hormone therapy.

    Muscle mass is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, but it is also a key factor in metabolic health, reducing the risk of chronic disease, and in improving our healthspan and longevity. While muscle requires consuming the right amount of protein for your body, weight-bearing exercises, as a part of strength training routine, are also an important ingredient for building skeletal muscle.


    In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Sara Gottfried, and Dr. Todd LePine about the many benefits of muscle and why strength training is non-negotiable.

    Today, we're zooming in on a groundbreaking study that comes from Stanford University and was recently published in JAMA Network Open. The researchers put a vegan diet head-to-head with an omnivorous diet in twenty-two pairs of identical twins. The buzz around this study has been immense, sparking conversations everywhere—from social media to professional circles. Adding to the excitement, this research forms the basis of a new Netflix documentary called "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment." 


    In this episode of my Health Bites series, I discuss the many conflicts of interest, funding sources, and hidden agendas that were not fully disclosed but could have had a major hand in clouding the study's conclusions and real-world applications. We’ll also get into the Netflix docuseries itself—what they got right vs. what they got wrong, as well as the Functional Medicine approach to diet and how we can feed our bodies to create health while taking care of the planet in a healthy, sustainable, and ethical way.

    Your gut microbiome is your inner garden—the more good bugs you have in it, the more likely it is to flourish. Our gut bacteria regulate many bodily functions, from creating vitamins to controlling our immune system, brain function, and, of course, our metabolism and weight. They are critical to our long-term health. But even if you’re eating the right things, you may need outside assistance to maintain plentiful and diverse gut bacteria.


    In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Steven Gundry, Dr. Mark Pimentel, Dr. Uma Naidoo, and Dr. Zach Bush about the importance of the microbiome and why it should be considered in any disease treatment plan.

    Heart disease is the world's leading cause of death. For years, the diet-heart hypothesis, which centers on high cholesterol as the primary culprit, has dominated the medical discourse. But now, we're beginning to appreciate the complexity and nuance of how the outer workings of our environment influence the inner workings of our physiology and risk for heart disease.


    In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I deep dive into the Functional Medicine approach to assessing cardiovascular risk and why this is key to preventing and, in some cases, reversing cardiovascular disease.
