Poor metabolic health is the largest underlying cause of early death worldwide, making it the canary in the coal mine for not just type 2 diabetes, but a multitude of illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, obesity, and even some cases of infertility and depression. Sadly, many people are walking around without even knowing they need to address their metabolic health or have any idea how to do that.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. William Li, Dr. Casey Means, and Dr. Richard Johnson about why metabolic health is important and ways that we can start improving it immediately at home.

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.

In today’s episode, I talk with Maggie Ward and Dr. Terry Wahls about the connection between gluten, leaky gut, and autoimmune conditions.

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. Sure, aging and performance anxiety are part of the story, but believe it or not, erectile dysfunction is not just about sexual health. It’s often the first clue of bigger health issues.

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.
