There is a woman in my metabolic program who has made dramatic shifts in her metabolic health — lost significant weight, less pain all over her body, more energy, and an increased desire to exercise 💪! Recently, we've noticed a plateau in her fat-burning and lack of ketone production.

After reviewing her diet diary, I noticed that the amount of carbs she was eating was pretty good, but the source of the carbs needed an adjustment — the types of carbs she was sometimes eating were causing too much of an insulin spike, which was blocking ketone production and blocking fat-burning. I explained this to her with the following example.👇

When it comes to carbs, quality matters. Let’s compare two popular sources of 20 net carbs: the sweet potato and the flour tortilla. Both may look similar on paper, but they couldn’t be more different in how they affect your body.

Metabolic dysfunction is the #1 health problem in

Metabolic dysfunction is the #1 health problem in the US—affecting nearly everyone you know. The good news? It’s totally reversible. The bad news? Your primary care doctor doesn’t understand it.

Here are the 5 pillars you MUST focus on to optimize your health:

1️⃣ Blood Sugar Control: Balance your energy and protect your organs ⚖️
2️⃣ Body Composition: Build muscle, lose excess fat, transform your health 💪
3️⃣ Blood Pressure: A healthy heart starts with steady numbers ❤️
4️⃣ Triglycerides: Keep these fats in check for better cardiovascular health 🫀🧬
5️⃣ Liver Health: Support your body’s detox powerhouse 🌱

Your health is more than just treating symptoms—these pillars are the foundation of real, lasting change.

Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is a combination of co

Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is a combination of conditions—like obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and abnormal cholesterol—that increase the risk of heart issues. Each aspect of MetSyn can lead to atrial fibrosis (scar tissue in the heart’s upper chambers), which disrupts the heart’s electrical signals ⚡️ and sets the stage for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Chronic inflammation 🔥, common in MetSyn, speeds up fibrosis by triggering pathways that damage heart tissue (mainly excess oxidation).

Atrial fibrosis and AFib are closely linked, creating a cycle where fibrosis raises the chances of AFib, and AFib makes fibrosis worse. Hypertension and insulin resistance contribute to this cycle by causing sodium retention, activating the nervous system, and damaging blood vessels. This structural remodeling of the heart keeps the atria stiff and prone to more scarring, making AFib persistent and harder to treat.

Managing MetSyn can help break this cycle and protect heart health ❤️. Lifestyle changes like losing weight, staying active, and eating well, along with individual medical management, can slow or even reverse atrial fibrosis. By tackling MetSyn, we can reduce the risk of AFib and support a healthier, stronger heart 💪.

From the CDC's MMWR report of August 11, 2022: "As

From the CDC's MMWR report of August 11, 2022:
"As SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, continues to circulate globally, high levels of vaccine- and infection-induced immunity and the availability of effective treatments and prevention tools have substantially reduced the risk for medically significant COVID-19 illness (severe acute illness and post–COVID-19 conditions) and associated hospitalization and death. These circumstances now allow public health efforts to minimize the individual and societal health impacts of COVID-19 by focusing on sustainable measures to further reduce medically significant illness as well as to minimize strain on the health care system, while reducing barriers to social, educational, and economic activity.“

Response from Jeffrey A. Tucker from Brownstone:
In English: everyone can pretty much go back to normal. Focus on illness that is medically significant. Stop worrying about positive cases because nothing is going to stop them. Think about the bigger picture of overall social health. End the compulsion. Thank you. It’s only two and a half years late.

Another quote from the CDC reversal:
“CDC’s COVID-19 prevention recommendations no longer differentiate based on a person’s vaccination status because breakthrough infections occur, though they are generally mild, and persons who have had COVID-19 but are not vaccinated have some degree of protection against severe illness from their previous infection.”

Again from Jeffrey Tucker:
"Also, universities, colleges, the military, and so on – which still have mandates in place – do you hear this? Everything you have done to hate on people, dehumanize people, segregate people, humiliate others as unclean, fire people and destroy lives, now stands in disrepute."

And even in the New Yorker Post:
Cities across the country fired teachers, firefighters, health care staffers, police officers, sanitation workers and so many others because they refused to get vaccinated ... while we baked banana bread and patted ourselves on the back for ordering from Uber Eats. Now the CDC acknowledges this was the wrong thing to do. Whoopsie!
