Hidden liver destroyer lurking in your kitchen It's not alcohol or sugar—the worst offender for many is industrial seed oils loaded with inflammatory omega-6s. Found in mayo, salad dressings, restaurant frying, chips, crackers, protein bars—even "zero sugar" snacks. Excess can spike insulin resistance, inflammation, and contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. People are waking up to ditching seed oils for healthier fats... 1:43 clip inside—eye-opening warning. Better options: Tallow, lard, avocado oil, grass-fed butter. Time-restricted eating may help reverse fatty liver—studies show promise.

“Instant noodles cause cancer, kidney damage, fibroids…” You’ve probably seen this list online but here’s the truth your health actually needs 👇 Instant noodles don’t directly cause cancer, fibroids, kidney failure, or menstrual issues. BUT the way they’re made and the habits built around eating them can increase risks over time. Here’s what science does show: High sodium = hypertension risk Most instant noodles contain 1,500–2,000 mg of sodium per pack — almost your entire daily limit. Additives & preservatives Ingredients like TBHQ (tertiary-butylhydroquinone) and high MSG can cause inflammation in sensitive individuals and may impact gut health when consumed frequently. Ultra-processed = metabolic strain A diet high in ultra-processed foods is linked to: • obesity • insulin resistance • poor gut microbiome • chronic inflammation (PMID: 31268035) Low nutrients = mineral imbalance Instant noodles offer almost no protein, fiber, or micronutrients, leading to blood sugar swings, cravings, and hormonal disruption over time. Kidney & thyroid concerns → INDIRECT Excess sodium + chronic inflammation + poor nutrient intake = higher long-term risk for kidney stress and metabolic issues. So no, one bowl won’t hurt you. But a lifestyle built on ultra-processed foods absolutely can.

Seed oils might worsen insulin resistance by pushing fat cells toward excessive growth They contain linoleic acid, which forms the harmful metabolite 4-HNE, shifting fat cells away from healthy fat-cell formation (hyperplasia) and toward abnormal enlargement (hypertrophy) When fat cells grow larger, they promote inflammation and metabolic dysfunction Linoleic acid is found naturally in many foods, but unlike in seed oils, natural sources (like nuts, meat, etc.) usually include protective omega-3s and antioxidants (vitamin E) that limit harmful effects

Think your blood glucose tells the whole story? Think again. Dr. Ben Bikman (Benjamin Bikman) joins me to discuss insulin resistance, including why it often remains hidden until late stages and simple ways to detect it early. We explore insulin’s lesser-known roles in fat storage, appetite regulation, inflammation, and chronic disease. You’ll also learn how macronutrients, meal timing, and frequency uniquely influence your insulin sensitivity, and the critical differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat. Finally, we dive into how stress, sleep deprivation, nicotine, and environmental toxins shape your metabolism and unpack the realities of popular GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (like Ozempic), including their benefits, risks, and the intriguing potential of microdosing. We also provide practical, actionable strategies, dietary adjustments, exercise protocols, and targeted supplements that you can implement today to significantly boost insulin sensitivity and support long-term metabolic health. If you want to understand insulin resistance and take immediate steps to improve your metabolic health - this conversation is a must-watch.

Alex Clark went nuclear on one of America’s most popular cookie brands, calling it the most dangerous, chemical-laden treat on the market. She said straight up that drinking gasoline might be safer than eating them, citing the ultra-processed ingredients: massive sugar loads (often 50-70g+ per cookie), bleached enriched flour, seed oils, artificial colors, preservatives like TBHQ, emulsifiers, and more. She was especially disgusted seeing the owner’s luxury mansion with a wellness room while profiting heavily from these cookies. Ultra-processed foods like these are strongly linked in large studies (e.g., BMJ, The Lancet) to higher risks of obesity, inflammation, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even mental health issues due to their poor nutrient profile, additives, and hyper-palatability.

“My job was to hit joints with hammers and saws as a doctor,” former orthopedic surgeon Dr. Shawn Baker told me. But now he’s telling his patients to consider going on a low-carb, high fat diet or even a carnivore diet—instead of immediately opting for knee replacement surgery. Baker says high-carb, high-sugar diets trigger chronic inflammation that destroys joint lubricants and accelerates arthritis. The culprit? Elevated insulin. When it spikes, the cells that keep joints moving smoothly start releasing inflammatory cytokines that damage our joints. And what drives high insulin levels in the blood? It’s mostly carbohydrates and in particular refined carbohydrates like sugars, starches and grains. Inflammation caused by too much insulin, he said, is associated not only with arthritis but with all sorts of other complications as well like diabetes, heart disease, cancer—and even depression and dementia. And insulin is not the only thing that drives inflammation, Baker says. Extra belly fat also releases inflammatory signals into the bloodstream: “One of the most impactful things you can do is lose the excess central fat. If you have extra belly fat, man or woman, that [fat] is driving inflammation, it's driving all kinds of metabolic problems. So that’s of critical importance to lose that extra body fat.”

Over 725,000 restaurants and foodservice operators across the United States get their ingredients from Restaurant Depot The vast amount of their foods and ingredients are highly processed, ultra-processed, and full of additives - Bulk coffee creamers with Titanium Dioxide and loaded with industrial seed oils - Fake olive oil, it’s only 1% EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil blends) Mostly soybean/canola seed oils with artificial coloring and flavoring to mimic real olive oil - Pre-fried Fries that are already deep-fried in seed oils (soybean, canola) before arriving at the restaurant. The fryer oil choice becomes irrelevant since the damage is pre-done - “Grilled” and Binderized Chicken (pre-marinated/pre-cooked) basically frozen chicken products pumped with seed oils, binders, fillers, and additives. Marketed as healthy grilled options but heavily processed - Egg Shade / Yellow Food Coloring Intense yellow dye added to fried rice, scrambled eggs, or dishes to make them look fresh and vibrant (mimicking turmeric or real eggs).

I spend a small fortune on granola bars at the store… and I never once thought to just make them myself. This woman shows how easy it is: toast some oats, almonds, and pecans, melt butter, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla, mix it all together with dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips, press it into a pan, chill, and cut into bars. They look so much better (and fresher) than the packaged ones — and you can customize them any way you want. Why did it take me this long to figure this out?

Dr. Mark Hyman explains why you should avoid artificial sweeteners. "For a whole host of reasons they harm your body." "One, they create damage to your microbiome and lead to increase in obesity and diabetes." "Two, they seem to trigger your brain in a way that creates what we call cephalic insulin response... They'll trigger your brain to think sugar's on the way." "It starts producing secondary metabolic effects like increasing insulin... And that drives you to be hungrier—to eat more." "So that's why when you look at all the studies, people who drink artificial sweeteners are more likely to be overweight, more likely to have diabetes." "It seems to be counterintuitive, but it actually is what the data show."

Every time your blood sugar spikes, your brain sugar spikes too. 🧠 This leads to waves of inflammation and oxidative stress, which can be harmful to your brain. We're often told to eat more antioxidants to combat oxidative stress. But how often are we told to stop eating the foods that cause oxidative stress in the first place? High glucose levels, even briefly after a meal, can trigger damaging reactions in the brain. Unfortunately, many people, especially children, consume refined carbs with every meal and snack. This can mean up to SIX glucose and insulin spikes per day, setting the brain on a path of instability and damage. 👎 Let's break the cycle! Join me and the Children's Mental Health Resource Center for a special virtual book club event TONIGHT, July 18, at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT to discuss how to lay a strong nutritional foundation for your child's mental health.

Conditions Caused By Maltodextrin: Altered Gut Bacteria IBD Inflammatory Bowel Disease Diabetes Insulin Resistance Hormonal Imbalance Crohn's Disease Ulcerative Colitis Weight Gain Gluten Contamination GI Distress Maltodextrin harms the mucosal epithelial layer in the intestines, the barrier which protects against gut permeability. This damage then leads to systemic inflammation & many forms of IBD Inflammatory Bowel Diseases like Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis. 👇Maltodextrin Intestinal Inflammation👇 👇Maltodextrin Causes IBD & Crohn's Disease👇 👇Acute/Long Term Maltodextrin Side Effects👇 Speaker: Dr Eric Berg

You're being poisoned. And I'm not just talking about mRNA shots. Ultra-processed foods are everywhere, and they come with some serious health risks. A recent meta-analysis found that a significant intake of ultra-processed foods results in: • 15% to 27% increased risk of all-cause mortality • 51% to 84% increased risk of heart disease-related death • Increase in the risk of most types of cancer, except for prostate cancer • 24% to 61% increase in having sleep problems • 37% to 59% increase in anxiety • 43% to 63% increase in common mental disorders (including depression, OCD, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder) • Increases in risk for asthma, Crohn's disease, obesity, type two diabetes Sadly, nearly 60% of calories consumed in America come from ultra-processed foods. Before you get hit by one of these health conditions, here are five foods to cut out of your diet right now: 1.) Sugary Breakfast Cereals: Often packed with high levels of sugar and refined carbohydrates, which can lead to energy spikes followed by crashes and may contribute to obesity and other metabolic disorders. 2. Deli Meats: These contain a lot of salt and preservatives, which are linked to increased risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. 3.) Potato Chips: High in calories, fats, and salt, potato chips can contribute to weight gain, high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. 4.) Processed Cheese Slices: While cheese itself can be a healthy option, processed cheese slices usually contain a lot of emulsifiers and additives to give them their characteristic texture, which can be less beneficial compared to natural cheese. 5.) Soda: Loaded with sugar, contributing to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay. It offers no nutritional value and can lead to a high intake of empty calories.
