Today, we have the first episode in a two-part mashup series focused on metabolism and weight loss resistance.  I am delighted to be joined today by Dr. William Li, Michelle Shapiro, and Lara Adler. Dr. Li and I explore how our metabolism shifts throughout our lifetime, the role of excess body fat, the influence of lifestyle choices, and the distinction between different types of fat. Michelle and I discuss the complex relationship between weight, shame, and self-perception,

Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Aaron Hartman, a triple-board-certified physician who recently wrote the book "Uncurable."  In today’s expansive conversation, we delve deeply into the structural flaws of traditional allopathic medicine. Dr. Hartman shares how his own clinical approach has evolved and recounts Anna’s story, explaining how her experience became a turning point in his professional growth. We highlight the importance of lifelong learning, patient advoc

Hunger is not just willpower. It is a complex conversation between your brain, gut, hormones, environment, and the engineered foods that surround us. Understanding the neuro-regulation of appetite and the practical levers you can pull will make eating less of a battle and more of a sustainable strategy for health—especially as we age. Why willpower gets you only so far The brain actively regulates when you feel full and when you feel hungry. Expecting constant willpower to ov

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Doug Lucas for the first episode of a two-part masterclass on bone health. Dr. Lucas is double board-certified as both an orthopedic surgeon and an osteoporosis specialist. He is on a mission to show the world that osteoporosis is both preventable and reversible.   In our discussion today, we take a deep dive into existing guidelines and their limitations and examine how Depo-Provera and oral contraceptives affect women’s bone physiology, pa

It’s Nurse Practitioners Week, and today, we have a special episode to highlight a historic moment in time. On November 11, the FDA changed the labeling on hormone replacement therapy.  Join me for a short, focused episode where I read a recently published JAMA article detailing those changes, to keep you up to date on this significant development. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How recent FDA updates are changing menopausal hormone therapy The history of estrogen’s role in

I’m excited to share a new AMA episode with you today, dedicated to risk factors specific to women. In this AMA session, I dive into the lifestyle factors that influence lipids, exploring the latest research and discussing Lp(a) and ApoB. Rather than answering your individual questions, I have woven them into the overall outline to create a cohesive and informative conversation. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How women’s lifestyle choices directly affect their lipid profile

I want to start with a personal note. My father was thin and reasonably healthy for much of his life, but as he aged he became increasingly sedentary, ate poorly, and lost a tremendous amount of muscle. That loss of strength led to a series of falls, multiple brain bleeds, and a rapid decline that could likely have been prevented. My father did not have to die the way that he did. I am sharing his story because so much of what leads to frailty, falls, and early decline is pre

Metabolic health is one of the most urgent public health issues we face. Recent analyses show that an earlier diagnosis of diabetes shortens life expectancy by three to four years per decade. Yet while a subset of people have improved dramatically, the metabolic health of the general population continues to deteriorate. The good news: much of type 2 diabetes is predictable and, importantly, preventable and reversible with the right testing, lifestyle changes, and early action

I am honored to connect with board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Berry Fairchild, today. Dr. Fairchild blends surgical precision with artistry to create natural, lasting results. Known for her expertise in facial aesthetics and complex breast surgery, she is also deeply committed to philanthropy and ongoing international surgical missions. In our discussion, we explore how societal expectations shape how women perceive themselves, the complex process of facial aging, and the

Most of us experience moments when we feel out of our power. We react disproportionately, we get triggered, and we believe other people and circumstances determine how we feel. But power is not just positional authority.

How trauma and early stories shape our reactions When we have a reaction t
