    GLP-1s, Protein or Hormones: What Helps Fat Loss Most - Natalie Jill

    02/10/2026 | 46 mins.
    Did you grow up in the fat-free, count-every-calorie, be-small era, and now your body just doesn't respond to any of it anymore? Are you secretly hoping the next thing, whether it's more protein, a GLP-1, or HRT, is finally the one that fixes your midsection?
    We cover:
    Why "one thingitis" keeps so many Gen X women stuck, and how to break the cycle

    The basic rules everyone wants to skip, and why ignoring them makes every hack fall flat

    A realistic take on GLP-1s and food noise: when they're a smart tool, and when they're a red flag

    Why the gym is not where you lose weight, and what progressive overload really looks like for a beginner

    A simple AI exercise that motivates you towards building habits that last

    Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS: How to Calm Down Reactions - Dr. Indra Barathan

    28/09/2026 | 53 mins.
    Have you suddenly become "allergic" to foods you've eaten your whole life, like avocado, wine, kimchi, or last night's leftovers? Or are you dealing with random headaches, flushing, brain fog, or a stuffy nose, and nobody can tell you why?
    We cover:
    Why you're suddenly reacting to "healthy" foods you've eaten forever, and why it's usually not a new allergy

    The hormone that acts like your body's natural antihistamine

    The "histamine bucket" idea that explains why the same food triggers you one day and not the next

    The real difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS

    The root cause approach that calms the whole system down instead of just chasing one symptom at a time

     
    Indra Barathan has over 25 years of experience in the healthcare field. In 2015, she established the Dr. Indra Clinic, which is a collaborative care clinic that takes a functional medicine approach. She believes in understanding the person behind the medical condition. This holistic approach allows her to connect with each patient on a deeper level, recognizing that they hold the answers to their own health challenges. She is also a founding member of the British College of Functional Medicine.

    Menopause Myths, Hormone Therapy, and Predatory Marketing - Amanda Thebe

    25/09/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    Have you ever bought something for your menopause symptoms and later felt like you got played? Or wondered if your "broken metabolism" is actually just a myth someone's selling you?
    We cover:
    Why the "menopause gold rush" turned into a $20 billion industry, and who's actually cashing in

    The red flags that separate a genuine expert from a menopause predator

    The uncomfortable question about influencers selling to a vulnerable audience

    The real science behind menopause weight gain, and why "broken metabolism" is the biggest myth out there

    Why hormone therapy isn't a simple yes or no, and where the actual nuance lives

    The Vitamin K Mistake in Bone Supplements: What Works Better - Dr. John Neustadt

    18/09/2026 | 1h 20 mins.
    Was your bone scan called normal, so you figured you were protected? Did your doctor just tell you to take calcium, but you know your bones need more than that?
    We cover:
    Why your bone density score might be lying to you, and what actually predicts a fracture

    The part of your bone that's stronger than steel, and why calcium alone won't cut it

    Dairy for bones: friend or foe for women in midlife

    The gut problem, even when you're eating everything right

    The vitamin K mix-up that means most bone supplements aren't doing what you think

     John Neustadt, ND, is Founder and President of the dietary supplement company Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc. (NBI, nbihealth.com) and NBI Pharmaceuticals. He received numerous US FDA Orphan Drug Designations for potentially treating rare diseases using natural products through his company.
