In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jenny, a personal trainer and nutritionist who shared her journey from being a student in engineering to becoming a successful fitness influencer. She emphasized the importance of consistency in both fitness and nutrition, explaining how she started her career by posting workouts on Instagram and quickly gained clients through social media. Jenny highlighted that many people struggle with their health due to unrealistic expectations, often thinking they can achieve results in just 30 days, when in reality, it can take several months or even years to see significant changes.

Jenny also discussed her shift from tracking macros to focusing on the quality of food she consumes. She realized that many processed foods, even those labeled as "healthy," were causing her inflammation and bloating. By switching to whole foods and following a five-ingredient rule, she not only felt better but also maintained her weight without the need for strict tracking, showing that making small, mindful changes can lead to better health outcomes.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Sam Madeira, a functional neurologist and herbalist, about his decision to close his practice and shift towards medical education. He shared that many healthcare practitioners, especially men, often avoid seeking help until their careers or relationships are in crisis. This reluctance can lead to serious health issues, as men tend to prioritize success and respect over their well-being.

Dr. Madeira emphasized the importance of understanding our health and the value of diagnostic tests in functional medicine. By educating practitioners on how to use these tests effectively, he believes they can help more patients achieve better health outcomes. This approach not only empowers patients but also encourages them to take control of their health, making it easier for them to seek help and improve their overall well-being.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Carrie Jones, a hormone expert who shared valuable insights about health and hormones. We discussed how hormones can feel unpredictable, like "herding cats," especially for women experiencing changes during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Jones emphasized the importance of focusing on basic health foundations, such as sleep, hydration, and nutrition, before seeking quick fixes like supplements or medications.

When basic health practices aren't enough, Dr. Jones recommends lab testing to identify underlying issues that may be affecting hormone balance. She also highlighted the need for individuals to find trustworthy healthcare practitioners who resonate with them and can guide them through their health journeys. Ultimately, we agreed that while hormones and other treatments can play a role in health optimization, the key to long-term well-being lies in maintaining a solid foundation of healthy habits.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Stephen Barrett, a specialist in podiatry and pain management who has trained over 6,000 surgeons. We discussed the serious issue of chronic pain and how many people suffer without understanding the root causes. Dr. Barrett emphasized the importance of identifying the true source of pain, which can often be linked to conditions like diabetes and nerve damage, and how addressing these issues can significantly improve patients' lives.

We also talked about the role of education in health, particularly regarding diet and lifestyle choices. Dr. Barrett pointed out that many people are unaware of how their food choices, like consuming seed oils and sugars, can lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes. By providing patients with the right information and tools, like continuous glucose monitoring, we can empower them to make better decisions for their health and ultimately reduce their pain and suffering.
