Metabolic Matters

In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters and Anu Simh, NBC-HWC, unpack how the microbiome, mitochondria, and mindset shape women’s vitality. Drawing on her Organic Chemistry roots and 20 years of coaching, Anu reveals why perfect labs don’t equal perfect health—and how tuning into your gut can ignite energy, balance hormones, and restore intuition. Discover her MBHR Protocol and upcoming book Flourish from Within, a culturally adaptable plan linking food diversity, fiber, and protein to sustainable metabolic healing. If you’ve ever felt “off” despite doing everything right, this conversation will help you rebuild your terrain from within.

What if the root cause of heart disease isn’t cholesterol… but metabolic dysfunction?

In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia — a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, metabolic health expert, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table. Once an overweight surgeon facing his own pre-diabetes, Dr. Ovadia reversed his health through a low-carb, nutrient-dense lifestyle and discovered something medicine had missed for decades: that heart disease isn’t a plumbing problem — it’s a metabolic one. Together, we explore how the medical system lost its way, why lowering cholesterol hasn’t fixed heart disease, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and lifestyle are at the true core of cardiovascular dysfunction. We also talk about the courage it takes to question medical dogma — and why doing so may be the only way to reclaim real health. Dr. Ovadia’s mission today is simple but revolutionary: to keep people off the operating table by empowering them to understand, measure, and repair their own metabolic health. His work is a bridge between cardiology and oncology, reminding us that nearly all chronic disease stems from the same broken terrain.

In this illuminating episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Jane Hogan, known as The Wellness Engineer — a woman who transformed her own crippling rheumatoid arthritis into a catalyst for deep healing and purpose. After reversing her pain naturally, Jane left behind a 30-year engineering career to help thousands of others rewire their relationship with pain through science, breath, and self-compassion. Blending functional medicine, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, Jane teaches that pain isn’t just a physical condition — it’s the body’s way of asking for safety. Together, we explore how to move beyond management into true transformation by calming the nervous system and reclaiming your power as the engineer of your own healing. Jane’s story is living proof that chronic pain can become the very teacher that leads us back to wholeness. Her message is both scientific and soulful — that healing doesn’t come from fighting the body, but from teaching it how to feel safe again.

If you’ve ever been told your pain is permanent, this conversation will help you see it through a new lens — one of hope, empowerment, and possibility.

In this profoundly moving episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND — a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and survivor of some of life’s deepest challenges, including bipolar disorder type 1, psychosis, multiple suicide attempts, and cancer. Through her lived experience and decades of clinical work, Dr. Chris has become a guiding light in integrative mental health, showing that true healing is possible when we embrace every part of ourselves — body, mind, and spirit.

Drawing from her book Beyond the Label and her decades of clinical practice, Dr. Chris reveals how she rebuilt her own “health house” from the ground up, weaving together physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Her story is one of resilience, radical self-compassion, and courage — a reminder that we are never too broken to heal.

Together, Dr. Nasha and Dr. Chris explore:

• The truth behind mental health “labels” — and why they don’t define who you are
• How trauma, love, and self-acceptance shape the path to recovery
• The four pillars of whole-person health and how to strengthen your “health house”
• The role of surrender, intuition, and spirituality in the healing process
• How to move from self-criticism to self-compassion and reclaim your vitality

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. — investigative science journalist, bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, and founder of the Nutrition Coalition. Nina’s fearless work has challenged decades of nutrition dogma, exposed the shaky science propping up our national dietary guidelines, and sparked a global rethink of how we eat. Her reporting on seed oils and trans fats pulled back the curtain on how industry, politics, and media shaped what we’ve been told about food — and why so much of it was wrong. What began as a single assignment became a decades-long investigation into fat, food, and the politics of nutrition science.

Upcoming Event

I am thrilled to share that Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. will be joining us as a special guest at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025.

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with my dear friend Robby Besner, PSc.D. — philanthropist, innovator, and Co-Founder of Therasage. Robby’s journey began as a father searching for answers after his daughter was diagnosed with Lyme disease. That urgency, heartbreak, and fierce love gave birth to what has now become a global movement in infrared healing technologies.Together, we explore the science and soul behind healing: how subtle energies like sunlight, frequency, and vibration are not just wellness trends but the very blueprint of health. Robby reminds us that healing is not linear — it’s a living relationship between our cells, our spirit, and the environments we inhabit.

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Mark Young — serial entrepreneur, CEO of Ryze Agency and Zona Health, and author of Radical Generosity. From starting businesses at 16 to leading purpose-driven companies today, Mark’s journey is proof that true success is measured not by what we gain, but by what we give.

Mark reminds us that leadership, health, and impact are inseparable — and that generosity, when rooted in gratitude, is the most radical path to both personal and professional transformation .

In this deeply moving episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, Gail Fuller, a farmer, healer, and visionary who has redefined what it means to steward both land and life. Gail’s journey took him from running a 3,200-acre industrial corn and soybean operation to nurturing a 162-acre regenerative food farm. Along the way, he discovered that true healing—whether of soil, food, or self—begins with remembering our relationship to nature.

What unfolds in our conversation is not just about farming. It’s about trauma and truth, community and courage, soil and soul. Gail courageously shares his personal reckoning with mental health and the silent crisis faced by farmers across America, reminding us that healing our land and healing ourselves are inseparable journeys.

I am thrilled to share that Gail will be joining us as a speaker at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025. Alongside leading voices in medicine, science, and ecology, Gail will help us explore how reconnecting with the land can transform our health from the ground up.
