Metabolic health is more than blood sugar. In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan and returning guest Michal Ofer unpack how fat metabolism—especially ectopic fat stored in the liver, pancreas, and muscle—drives insulin resistance and chronic disease. They explore the personal fat threshold concept, the role of diacylglycerols (DAGs) in blunting insulin signaling, and why focusing on calories or carbs alone misses the bigger picture. The discussion also covers GLP-1 receptor agonists, food additives, seed oils, glyphosate, wheat desiccation, and coatings like Appeal—and how these everyday exposures may disrupt cellular energy and metabolic signaling.
What You'll Learn:

In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan sits down with Chris Powell for a deep conversation on the evolution of modern weight loss, from the early days of extreme transformation television to today’s complex reality of GLP-1 medications, insulin resistance, metabolic health, muscle preservation, trauma, and long-term fat loss. Chris reflects on helping individuals lose hundreds of pounds, what he learned from seeing some regain the weight, and why sustainable transformation requires far more than calorie restriction alone. Together, they explore the emotional roots of obesity, the impact of childhood trauma and food coping patterns, the importance of preserving lean muscle mass, the role of DEXA scans, protein intake, resistance training, fasting insulin, and intermittent fasting, and the growing debate around GLP-1 drugs, peptides, sarcopenia, and responsible obesity treatment in 2026. This episode is a nuanced discussion on what it really takes to lose weight, improve metabolic function, and build a healthier life that lasts.
What You’ll Learn:
