  • Always fascinating!

    Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is not only hugely entertaining and knowledgable, but she also understands how to draw out the best in her guests. And her guests are fantastic: an array of practitioners, scientists, industry leaders that present new ideas or data that I can apply to my own lifestyle or medical care.

    I encourage anyone who wants to improve their mental, physical and emotional health to listen in.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Skin Longevity Breakthrough | Carolina Reis Oliveira
Q: What evidence supports systemic effects from a topical product?
In a pilot human study, reductions in inflammatory markers and improvements in barrier function were observed in blood after topical use, suggesting the skin can influence systemic inflammation.
What New Science Says About Building Muscle | Brad Currier, PhD
Q: What is Urolithin A and why is it relevant to muscle health?
Urolithin A is a postbiotic derived from certain polyphenols that our gut microbiome can convert from foods like pomegranate. It stimulates mitophagy, improves mitochondrial function, and has shown benefits in muscle strength and endurance in both preclinical and clinical studies, making it a promising adjunct to exercise for aging populations.
When High Protein Backfires in the Gut Dr. Tom Fabian
Q: Talk to me about this new high protein era and how we can do it and individualize it.
We should assess digestion, including markers like elastase, consider gut health and transit time, and tailor protein intake to the patient's digestion capacity, stool testing results, and fiber intake to mitigate protein fermentation.
New Food Guidelines: Progress or Missed Opportunity? | Dr. Robert Lustig
Q: What does Lustig think about GLP-1 medications in the context of obesity and the guidelines?
He acknowledges GLP-1s work for weight loss and criticizes relying on them as a sole solution, emphasizing that without addressing sugar, ultra-processed foods, and overall diet quality, the societal impact will be limited.
New Food Guidelines: Progress or Missed Opportunity? | Dr. Robert Lustig
Q: Why does Lustig question the effectiveness of the guidelines on actually changing consumer behavior?
He asserts that consumer behavior is driven by addictive foods shaped by industry incentives, and without aggressive, systemic interventions beyond guidelines, the public will continue to consume unhealthy options.
