• 242: Your Brain Is Starving: The Metabolic Root of Depression, Anxiety, and Chronic Fatigue - Moira Newiss
    Mar 24 2026

    Moira Newiss spent 20 years running hospitals for the UK's National Health Service before her body and mind staged a slow, invisible collapse that no blood panel could explain — and the system she'd devoted her career to had nothing to offer but a prescription she didn't want to fill. What she found instead was a framework rooted in mitochondrial biology that reframes mental illness, chronic fatigue, and burnout as problems of cellular energy rather than brain chemistry.


    BIG IDEA

    "Psychological stress adversely affects the mitochondria just like high-sugar diets do — and a ketogenic diet can correct things that psychological interventions alone sometimes cannot."

  • 241: This Contortionist Found the Link Between How You Breathe and Why You're Stuck - Kemi Blake
    Mar 17 2026

    Kemi Blake started training contortion as an adult with a body that wasn't built for it — no childhood conditioning, no natural flexibility, just a fierce refusal to quit and an unusual willingness to pay close attention to what her body was doing in the moments before she lost consciousness. What she found wasn't a performance hack. It was a map of the nervous system, the body's hidden pressure architecture, and the emotional terrain that most of us spend our lives navigating blind.

    BIG IDEA

    The nervous system doesn't distinguish between emotional pain and physical pain — and that single fact changes everything about how you heal.

  • 240: Oxalates: The Hidden Toxin in Your "Superfood" Diet — With Sally K. Norton
    Mar 10 2026

    Sally K. Norton, a Cornell-trained nutritionist with a master's in public health, spent decades sick while eating all the "right" foods before connecting her arthritis, chronic fatigue, sleep dysfunction, and other symptoms to oxalate accumulation. Her research — drawing on tens of thousands of peer-reviewed articles — reveals that medical and nutritional institutions have long known oxalates cause problems, but the information never connected across disciplines, was never prioritized, and got buried under decades of commercial food messaging and dietary dogma. Critically, simply eliminating high-oxalate foods overnight can trigger a difficult detox response as stored crystals release from tissues, so gradual dietary change is recommended. Her book, Toxic Superfoods, and her website sallyknorton.com offer practical guidance for anyone ready to investigate further.

  • 239: Your Doctor Wants to Change Medicine But Can't - Here's What's Really Happening - Dr. Deep
    Mar 3 2026

    Dr. Sandeep Palakti spent years at Harvard and Mayo Clinic before realizing the American healthcare system isn't designed to keep people healthy. In this conversation with cardiac surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia, he breaks down why 70% of physicians are now employed by large health systems or insurers, how that institutional capture prevents real preventative care, and what both doctors and patients can do about it. He explains how he broke free to create Velocity Health, a national concierge practice focused on sleep, diet, exercise, and mental health through precise measurement and individualized strategies. For physicians feeling stuck and patients paying tens of thousands annually for insurance that doesn't deliver health, this conversation maps pathways to better options.


    BIG IDEA

    When the health insurer owns your doctor, your pharmacy, and your insurance, they have every incentive to drive costs up, reduce quality, and withhold care.

  • 238: When Stents Aren't Enough: Why Heart Doctors Are Fighting Disease Outside the Hospital - Dr. Arasi Maran
    Feb 24 2026

    Two cardiac specialists—one who performs open-heart surgery, the other who places stents in blocked arteries—sit down for an honest conversation about what they see on the operating table and in the cath lab. Dr. Philip Ovadia and Dr. Arasi Maran treat patients at the end stage of heart disease, often when it's too late for interventions to make a meaningful difference. Both physicians share the same conclusion: you don't need a cardiologist or surgeon if you understand what real food looks like and take responsibility for your health before disease sets in.

  • 237: Dr. Amie Hornaman - 95% of Hypothyroidism is Actually Hashimoto’s Disease
    Feb 17 2026

    Dr. Amie Hornaman to discuss one of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood health issues affecting millions—especially women over 35. Dr. Amie shares her personal journey from being a misdiagnosed fitness competitor who gained 25 pounds despite extreme dieting and exercise, to becoming a leading thyroid hormone specialist.

    Discover why 95% of hypothyroidism is actually Hashimoto's disease, why standard TSH testing fails most patients, and why T4-only medications like Synthroid don't work for the vast majority. Learn about the "forgotten hormone" T2 and its potential as a game-changer for metabolism and weight loss, the critical role of iodine, and what comprehensive thyroid testing should actually include.

    Whether you're struggling with unexplained weight gain, crushing fatigue, hair loss, or have been told "everything is normal" despite feeling terrible, this episode provides the roadmap to proper thyroid diagnosis and treatment.

    Feb 3 2026

    Carnivore diet recovery takes center stage as Bella Ma (Steak and Butter Gal) returns to share her transformation from sick vegan to thriving carnivore. After six years on a plant-based diet that left her without a period, covered in cystic acne, and constantly starving, Bella made a dramatic overnight switch to eating only animal foods. The results speak louder than any nutrition debate.
