The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast

Could a hidden nutrient deficiency be affecting your metabolism, energy, brain health, and overall wellness?

On this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with Dr. Darren Schmidt, D.C., a chiropractor and nutrition practitioner, to challenge conventional thinking about protein, micronutrients, and chronic health issues. Dr. Schmidt explains why he prioritizes protein, how satiety may influence how much we eat, and why he believes vitamin B1 (thiamine) deserves far more attention.

They dive into B1 and mitochondrial function, whole-food vitamin C versus ascorbic acid, metabolic testing, microplastics, and ways to reduce everyday plastic exposure. Dr. Schmidt also shares the personal health crisis that intensified his interest in B1 and discusses his perspectives on keto, carnivore diets, nicotine patches, and long COVID.

This conversation is packed with provocative ideas to discuss with your qualified healthcare professional—and questions that may change the way you look at nutrition.

What if the secret to better sleep, stress relief, and nervous system regulation isn't doing more—but getting better at rest?

Lisa Fischer sits down with relaxation expert Craig Goldberg to explore why downtime matters just as much as uptime—and how sound, vibration, breathwork, and intentional rest may help you shift out of constant fight-or-flight mode. Craig shares his journey from the nonstop pace of New York nightlife to discovering vibroacoustic therapy and a radically different approach to relaxation.

You'll hear practical ideas for fitting restorative "power naps" into a busy day, why Craig believes sound and vibration can create an immersive relaxation experience, and how breathing techniques can help you slow down when stress takes over. Lisa and Craig also explore sleep, brainwave states, music and frequency, circadian rhythms, overstimulation, and why learning to truly unplug can be so difficult in our always-on culture.

Could Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging hold the key to better energy after 40? Dr. Catharine Arnston, founder and CEO of EnergyBits, joins Lisa Fischer to unpack the science behind spirulina and chlorella and why she calls algae an "intelligent food." She explains how spirulina may support cellular energy, mitochondrial function, antioxidant protection, and nutrient intake without relying on stimulants like caffeine or sugar.

Lisa and Dr. Arnston also explore why energy can decline during perimenopause and menopause, the role of mitochondria and estrogen, and how spirulina and chlorella differ in their potential uses. They discuss protein, phycocyanin, superoxide dismutase, vitamin K2, recovery, detox support, and gut health.

Whether you're curious about algae supplements, looking for sustainable nutrition, or focused on maintaining energy and vitality in midlife, this conversation offers plenty to explore.

Hormone balance can affect blood sugar management, but what if type 1 diabetes could finally have a functional cure?

In this powerful conversation, Lisa Fischer sits down with Katie Beth Hand, one of just 12 participants in the groundbreaking Eladon clinical trial, to hear what happened after she received an islet cell transplant.

Katie Beth explains how she was diagnosed with adult-onset type 1 diabetes, why managing the disease became a relentless 24/7 responsibility, and how continuous glucose monitoring changed her care.

She also breaks down how donor islet cells were placed in her liver, why the Eladon trial's immunomodulator could change the future of transplantation, and what life feels like after coming off insulin. From pregnancy and motherhood to organ donation, clinical trial phases, and the meaning of a "functional cure," Katie Beth offers an inside look at a potential turning point for people living with type 1 diabetes.

Could Root Cause Healing for Chronic Fatigue start with something as simple as rethinking the food on your table?

On this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with Monica Corrado for a lively conversation about raw milk, traditional dairy cows, A1 and A2 casein, and why the way milk is produced may matter as much as the milk itself.

Monica breaks down the differences between raw, pasteurized, and homogenized milk and explains what the cream line can reveal about milk quality. She also explores why some people may struggle when introducing raw milk, how fermented foods can support the microbiome, and why homemade yogurt and kefir can be different from commercially produced versions.

The conversation then expands into the GAPS Diet, gut health, fermented foods, and Monica's belief that real food can provide a powerful foundation for wellness. They also discuss access to raw milk and the changing landscape of food regulations.

Could Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging be connected to the bigger metabolic picture behind PCOS? Christine Horton joins Lisa Fischer to challenge the way we think about polycystic ovarian syndrome and explain why the conversation may need to expand beyond the ovaries.

Christine breaks down the emerging PMOS terminology, why PCOS can look completely different from one woman to another, and why a diagnosis can remain lifelong even when symptoms improve. She and Lisa explore insulin resistance, testosterone, inflammation, ovulation, fertility, weight changes, and the importance of identifying metabolic issues earlier.

The conversation also dives into Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Balance, including lifestyle factors that may support hormone resilience through perimenopause and beyond. Christine explains the surprising connection between oral health, insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic health—and why your mouth may provide important clues about what is happening throughout your body.

Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging may sound complicated, but could better health really start with just three essential supplements?

In this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with supplement expert and clinical nutritionist Dr. Luke Bucci to break down the foundational supplements he believes can provide the most benefit: vitamin D3, omega-3s, and magnesium.

Dr. Bucci explains why vitamin D matters far beyond bone health, how vitamin K2 fits into the picture, and why testing your vitamin D levels can help you make smarter decisions. He also reveals why he prefers krill oil over traditional fish oil, how to recognize rancid omega-3s, and what makes omega-3 phospholipids so important.

The conversation also explores magnesium forms, magnesium-rich foods, calcium supplementation, bone remodeling, gut health, plant foods, polyphenols, and the connection between nutrition and healthy aging.

Host Lisa Fischer welcomes Jonathan Jarecki for an eye-opening discussion on how sunlight influences nearly every system in the human body. From the latest longevity research to the hidden dangers of artificial lighting, Jonathan explains why light is much more than a source of vitamin D—it acts as one of the body's most powerful biological signals.

Throughout the episode, Lisa and Jonathan explore studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants, debunk myths about melanoma, explain the difference between healthy sun exposure and sunburn, discuss vitamin D supplements versus natural sunlight, and reveal how indoor lighting may impact blood sugar, mitochondrial health, sleep, and overall wellness.

In this inspiring conversation, Lisa Fischer welcomes pharmacist Emily Erickson, who shares how watching her sister overcome infertility sparked her own health transformation.
