You may have tuned into my interview with Dr. Brian Lenzkes on the Life's Best Medicine podcast back in April(if not, you can listen here!). We discussed the microbiome triggers for diseases, the multitude of factors that affect the gut microbiome, diet and lifestyle changes to support gut health, and much more.
Today I'm honored to share I am back on the Life's Best Medicine Podcast for a second interview with Dr. Lenzkes!
In this conversation of the Life's Best Medicine Podcast, I discuss our clinical trial to alter glucose and fructose metabolism. Early data indicates promising results, including decreased fasting blood glucose and improved patient outcomes related to cravings and weight loss. The conversation also explores the influence of gut microbiome health on various medical conditions and potential dietary impacts.
It is a packed episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Thanks so much for Dr. Lenzkes for his support and the great work he is doing on his podcast.
When most people think about circadian rhythm, they think about sleep. But your circadian rhythm is much more than a sleep-wake cycle. It is a master biological timing system that influences nearly every aspect of health, including metabolism, immune function, hormone production, digestion, detoxification, and even how your gut microbes behave.
Let’s be completely honest: When was the last time you actually looked inside the bowl before you flushed? If your immediate reaction is to cringey-laugh and say, "Ugh, never," you are throwing away the single most valuable health report your body produces daily.
A chronic diagnosis is almost always delivered as a final sentence, completely devoid of hope. In the conventional medical model, patients are given a label—whether it’s Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or chronic fatigue—and told, “There is no cure. This is progressive. Take this pill.”
The path to vibrant health is rarely a straight line. Often, it takes a deeply personal disruption to force us to look at the human body through a completely different lens. For Martha Carlin, a former corporate auditor and turnaround expert, that disruption came in 2002 when her healthy 44-year-old husband, John, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
