  • Great podcast but…

    I think some great topics are covered on this podcast and as an endocrinologist passionate about treating metabolic health I appreciate the progressive approach taken here. That being said I had to stop listening to the Andy Galpin talk 5 minutes in because the arrogance was just so toxic and grating. What a shame because I’ve heard him on many other podcasts and used to enjoy listening to him.

  • Putting it together

    I work as a clinic pharmacist, and for years have seen the ills of medicating chronic illness while people stay, well, ill. The Metabolic Link provides excellent, evidence based information for helping reverse to many problems with chronic illness: From obesity and type 2 diabetes to the emerging world of mental health. If you are a lay person, practitioner, or just someone curious about how you can own your health with the latest evidence, the Metabolic Link is for you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Asked, Ben Bikman Answered: GLP-1 Muscle Loss, Ketone Targets & Cancer Metabolism | The Metabolic Link Ep. 102
Q: If you were diagnosed with cancer, what metabolic therapies would you start immediately to fight it?
Double down on a ketogenic approach and monitor the glucose-ketone index; consider medications with mitochondrial effects and anti-catabolic signaling, while recognizing that evidence is still emerging and to work closely with a physician.
Metabolic Gynecology: Insulin, Inflammation, and the Uterus as an End Organ | Dr. Andréa Salcedo, DO | The Metabolic Link Ep. 103
Q: Could a woman's period be viewed as a metabolic vital sign of health?
Yes, the host and Dr. Salcedo agree that cycle length, heaviness, and frequency reflect systemic metabolic state, with longer irregular cycles signaling risks associated with hypertension, diabetes, and inflammation, and that the uterus acts as an end organ influenced by overall metabolic health.
Ketosis in the Real World: Sardine Fasting, Low-Dose GLP-1s & Carb Addiction | Dr. Annette Bosworth, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 104
Q: Maybe tell the listeners a little bit about that backstory and how you came to this work?
Dr. Boz describes her departure from corporate medicine, a profound personal journey through Haiti and other relief work, and how those experiences redirected her toward ketogenic metabolic therapy, deepening her commitment to patient-centered care and education.
Treating PTSD When Standard Care Falls Short: A Hyperbaric Oxygen Protocol | Dr. Keren Doenyas-Barak, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 97
Q: How do you manage memory surfacing during treatment?
Memories surfacing are managed through collaboration with external therapists; patients are kept safe and calm, and therapists are engaged to process the memory using approaches that fit the patient, with no single universal method.
Treating PTSD When Standard Care Falls Short: A Hyperbaric Oxygen Protocol | Dr. Keren Doenyas-Barak, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep. 97
Q: Can you describe the HBOT protocol that is best supported for treatment-resistant PTSD?
A regenerative protocol of 60 sessions, five days a week for 12 weeks, two hours per session with 90 minutes to 100% oxygen, pressure at two atmospheres, and cycles of 20 minutes on/5 minutes off to promote regenerative mechanisms while avoiding oxygen toxicity.
