  • 646. Why GLP-1s Will Never Fix Your Metabolism — But T2 + Glutathione Can: The Cellular Truth About Thyroid Optimization Nobody Is Telling You

    GLP-1 medications can be effective tools for weight loss, but do they actually improve your metabolism? In this episode, I explain what the latest research says about GLP-1s, why muscle loss and a lower resting metabolic rate deserve more attention, and why appetite suppression isn't the same as metabolic health.

    We also explore what happens inside the cell, including the roles of thyroid hormones, mitochondria, T2, and glutathione in energy production. I'll share why I developed my new T2 Cream with glutathione and how it fits into a broader approach to supporting metabolism at the cellular level. 


    What you’ll learn:

    • Why weight loss doesn't always mean a healthier metabolism
    • What GLP-1 medications can and can't do
    • The connection between thyroid hormones and mitochondria
    • Why muscle matters for metabolic health
    • The role of T2 in cellular energy production
    • Why glutathione was paired with T2 in the new cream
    • How to think about metabolism beyond calorie restriction
    • If you're looking for a more complete understanding of metabolism (whether you're using a GLP-1 or not) this episode is for you. You can check out my T2 cream here.

    • 645. You Can't Take Weight Loss Advice from a Fat Doctor: Confessions and Longevity Hacks from America's Most Hated Doctor

      Dr. Ivan Rusilko joins me to talk about why so many patients feel unheard, what he believes is missing from conventional healthcare, and how lifestyle, hormone balance, diagnostic testing, and patient education all fit into a more comprehensive approach to wellness. We also discuss how his background in athletics and preventive medicine shaped the way he practices today, long before functional medicine became mainstream.

      We get into how patients can become better advocates for their own health, what questions they should ask when choosing a provider, and why individualized care requires looking beyond a single lab value or diagnosis. We also discuss the growing influence of social media and AI in healthcare, the challenges facing both conventional and functional medicine, and the importance of balancing evidence, clinical experience, and common sense when helping people improve their health. 


      What you’ll learn:

      • Why Dr. Ivan chose a preventive and lifestyle-focused approach from the very beginning of his medical career
      • The questions every patient should ask when evaluating a healthcare provider
      • Why comprehensive lab testing is only valuable when you know how to interpret and apply the results
      • How hormone health extends far beyond estrogen and testosterone alone
      • The role stress, sleep, nutrition, and exercise play in long-term health outcomes
      • What concerns us most about today's wellness industry and the rise of health influencers
      • How AI and social media are changing the way patients seek medical information

        Tune in to hear what quality healthcare should look like, how to become a more informed participant in your own health journey, and why asking better questions often leads to better outcomes.

      • 644. The Thyroid is the Root Cause of Your OTHER Health Conditions

        In this episode, I'm tackling one of the questions I hear more than almost any other: What is the real root cause of thyroid disease? I explain why I believe the thyroid itself deserves far more attention than it's currently given, and why I think many conversations about "finding the root cause" can send people down expensive and unnecessary paths. We also talk about how functional medicine is marketed, where patients can get caught between conflicting messages, and why it's important to understand the difference between treating symptoms, chasing triggers, and addressing thyroid function directly.


        What you’ll learn:

        • Why I believe the thyroid should be the starting point, not the last consideration
        • The difference between identifying triggers and treating what is happening now
        • How thyroid function can influence systems throughout the entire body
        • Why I question some popular "root cause" programs and protocols
        • My perspective on T4-only therapy and why I encourage looking beyond TSH alone
        • What reverse T3 is and why I believe it's an important lab marker to understand

          Whether you've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, or you're simply searching for answers that connect the dots, this conversation is designed to challenge assumptions and help you think differently about your thyroid health.

        • 643. Mastering GLP-1s in Peri and Menopause: What 95% of Women Are Doing Wrong

          If you're eating well, exercising, prioritizing protein, and still struggling with weight gain in perimenopause or menopause, you're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with hormone expert Karen Martel to talk about why midlife weight gain is often more complex than calories in and calories out. We discuss how shifts in progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid function, and stress hormones can impact metabolism, cravings, muscle mass, and insulin sensitivity.

          We also explore hormone replacement therapy, insulin resistance, and the growing use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Karen shares what she sees most often in practice, why some women continue to struggle despite doing everything right, and how to think about weight loss resistance through a broader hormonal and metabolic lens. If you've been wondering why your body feels different in midlife, this episode is for you.


          What you’ll learn:

          • Why weight loss becomes more challenging during perimenopause and menopause
          • How changing hormone levels affect metabolism and body composition
          • The connection between sleep, stress, cravings, and weight gain
          • Why insulin resistance can develop even in women with healthy habits
          • How thyroid health influences weight and metabolic function
          • What hormone replacement therapy can and cannot do for weight loss
          • When GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for midlife women
          • Signs that deeper metabolic or hormonal factors may be contributing to weight loss resistance

            After listening, you'll have a better understanding of the hormonal changes that shape weight and metabolism in midlife, along with practical considerations for supporting your health. Subscribe, share the episode, and send it to a friend who may be navigating the same challenges.

          • 642. This Changed My Skin More Than My Facelift + The Hair Treatment That Actually Works

            I sit down with Dr. Steve Scottsdale to discuss some of the newest developments in regenerative aesthetics and why they may be changing the way we think about skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. We explore the science behind Neogen Plasma, a nitrogen-based cold plasma treatment that aims to stimulate collagen and elastin production without the heat and tissue damage associated with many traditional laser procedures. We also talk about aging skin, collagen loss, facial volume changes, and why some practitioners are moving away from the "damage and repair" approach that has dominated the aesthetics industry for years.

            We shift the conversation to hair loss, examining an emerging treatment designed to support both scalp health and follicle regeneration. Dr. Steve explains how this technology works, who may benefit from it, and why understanding the underlying causes of hair thinning matters as much as treating the symptoms. 


            What you’ll learn:

            • Why some practitioners are rethinking traditional ablative laser treatments
            • The role collagen, elastin, and facial volume play in how we age
            • How cold plasma technology differs from conventional laser procedures
            • What to realistically expect during recovery and healing
            • The connection between skin barrier health and long-term skin quality
            • Why regenerative approaches are gaining attention in aesthetic medicine
            • How emerging hair restoration therapies aim to support follicle health
            • What questions to ask before choosing any skin or hair treatment provider

              If you're curious about anti-aging treatments, navigating changes in your skin and hair, or simply interested in the evolving science of regenerative medicine, this episode is a must-listen!

            • 641. The Hidden Dangers of Suppressing Your Cycle: What Every Woman Should Know About Birth Control, PCOS, and Hormone Health

              Women's hormones influence far more than fertility, yet many women are never taught how deeply their cycles affect their overall health.

              In this episode, I sit down with Alisa Vitti, founder of Flo Living and creator of the cycle syncing method, to discuss the connection between hormones, metabolism, menstrual health, and long-term well-being. Alisa shares her personal experience of being diagnosed with what was formerly known as PCOS, the limitations she encountered within conventional care, and how that journey led her to spend decades studying women's hormonal health and developing practical strategies to support it.


              What you’ll learn:

              • Why the recent name change from PCOS may be more significant than it first appears
              • What ovulation contributes to health beyond reproduction
              • The connection between blood sugar regulation and hormone balance
              • Why some common menstrual symptoms may be worth taking more seriously
              • How cycle syncing is designed to work with changing hormone patterns throughout the month
              • The questions women should consider before relying on medications as a first step
              • What PMS may be communicating about overall hormone function
              • Why daily habits can have a greater impact on long-term hormone health than many people realize

                If you've ever wondered whether your cycle, symptoms, or hormonal shifts are trying to tell you something important, this episode offers a thoughtful place to start.

              • 640. The Brutally Honest Anti-Aging Episode: What Actually Works (And What’s a Waste of Money)

                What if everything you've been told about anti-aging is only half the story? 

                In this brutally honest episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my complete anti-aging routine and sharing exactly what I do, what I've stopped doing, and what I believe is actually worth the investment. 

                From thyroid health, hormones, collagen, protein intake, and inflammation to skincare, red light therapy, exosomes, lasers, Botox, fillers, and even surgery, nothing is off limits. I'm also calling out the beauty industry myths that drive me crazy and exposing the expensive treatments that delivered little to no results.


                What you’ll learn:

                • The surprising place anti-aging really begins
                • Why one common health issue may be accelerating aging faster than you realize
                • The treatment trend that might be doing more harm than good
                • The skincare products that actually moved the needle for me
                • What I wish I knew before spending thousands on beauty treatments
                • The anti-aging technology that completely changed my perspective
                • My honest thoughts on Botox, fillers, and where many people go wrong

                  I walk you through the inside-out approach I use to support healthy aging, including the role hormones play in skin quality, why collagen and protein matter more than most people realize, and the treatments that have made the biggest difference for me personally. You don’t want to miss this one!

                • 639. The Keto, GLP-1 & Fasting Mistakes Wrecking Midlife Women — with Maria Emmerich

                  In this episode, I sit down with nutrition expert and bestselling author Maria Emmerich to talk about a topic that rarely gets discussed honestly: what happens when health habits that seem beneficial start working against you. Maria shares her personal experience navigating years of caregiving, chronic stress, under-eating, muscle loss, and the wake-up call that forced her to rethink many of the strategies she had promoted and practiced throughout her career. Together, we explore the difference between pursuing health and simply chasing a number on the scale, and why maintaining muscle, supporting hormones, and properly fueling your body matter more than many people realize.

                  We also take a closer look at some of the most common nutrition and weight loss trends women are using today, including keto, fasting, GLP-1 medications, and high-protein nutrition. Maria explains why protein has become a central focus of her work, how fasting affects muscle preservation, what insulin actually does in the body, and why many women struggle with metabolic health during perimenopause and menopause.


                  What you’ll learn:

                  • Why Maria reconsidered many of her own nutrition practices after a major health setback
                  • How chronic stress and caregiving responsibilities can quietly impact metabolic health
                  • The difference between losing weight and losing muscle
                  • Why protein intake may matter more than calorie restriction for many women
                  • What insulin actually does in the body and why it isn't the villain it's often made out to be
                  • How fasting affects muscle mass, metabolism, and long-term health outcomes
                  • The role hormones play in body composition, energy, and insulin sensitivity during midlife
                  • What women should consider before, during, and after using GLP-1 medications

                    If you are currently navigating weight loss, hormonal changes, fasting, keto, or GLP-1 medications - this episode is for you!

                  • 638. The Get Sh*t Done Hormone: Why Testosterone Matters More Than You Think

                    In this episode, I explore one of the most misunderstood hormones in modern medicine: testosterone. While it's often associated with men or bodybuilding, testosterone plays a critical role in both men's and women's health. I discuss how testosterone influences muscle mass, body composition, motivation, confidence, libido, cognitive function, and overall vitality. We also talk about why low testosterone is frequently overlooked, the symptoms that may signal a problem, and how factors like sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition, thyroid health, and metabolic function all influence hormone balance.

                    Whether you're wondering if low testosterone could be contributing to how you feel or simply want a better understanding of how this hormone works, this is an episode you don’t want to skip.


                    What you’ll learn:

                    • Why testosterone affects far more than sex drive
                    • The connection between sleep quality and hormone production
                    • Which types of exercise appear to support healthy testosterone levels
                    • How stress and cortisol can influence the entire hormonal system
                    • The differences between total testosterone, free testosterone, and SHBG
                    • What lifestyle factors may contribute to low testosterone in both men and women
                    • How clinicians evaluate different testosterone replacement options
                    • Why hormone optimization involves more than simply increasing one hormone

                    • 637. If I Only Had 90 Days to Fix My Thyroid From Scratch

                      What would I do if I had just 90 days to improve my thyroid health and had to start from scratch? In this episode, I walk through the exact framework I would follow if I had limited resources and needed to focus only on the things that matter most. We talk about why so many women feel stuck despite doing everything they have been told to do, and why more effort is not always the answer. Instead, I share a practical roadmap built around creating stability, supporting thyroid function, and giving the body the conditions it needs to respond.

                      I break down the three phases I would focus on over a 90-day period, including where lab testing fits in, how thyroid hormone conversion impacts symptoms, and why consistency often matters more than intensity. This conversation is about simplifying the process, setting realistic expectations, and understanding how to work with your body instead of constantly pushing against it.


                      What you’ll learn:

                      • Why the sequence of your healing strategy can matter more than the number of things you are doing
                      • The first steps I would take if I were rebuilding my thyroid health from the ground up
                      • How stress and nervous system regulation influence thyroid function
                      • Why thyroid medication is only one piece of the puzzle
                      • The role hormones play in energy, metabolism, and thyroid health
                      • How under-eating and overtraining can interfere with recovery
                      • What realistic progress looks like during the first 90 days
                      • The common mistakes that keep women stuck in a cycle of frustration and trial-and-error

                        If you have been wondering where to focus your energy or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode offers a clear and practical place to start.
