Anxiety is not just “in your head.” Sometimes the body is giving signals through blood sugar, caffeine tolerance, and how well your nervous system is being fueled.

Most people hear “blood sugar” and think the body has a lot of sugar floating around at any given moment. But the actual amount is much smaller than most people realize.
In this episode, I use a simple visual demo to show what normal, prediabetic and diabetic blood sugar levels look like. We also talk about insulin, the pancreas, and why repeatedly high blood sugar can create real stress on the body over time.

Belinda and I dive into the hidden history behind our dietary guidelines, tracing how a 19th-century religious health movement helped shape the modern demonization of meat and the rise of fiber, breakfast cereal, and plant-based dogma. She breaks down how the Seventh Day Adventist Church, John Harvey Kellogg, and powerful food and academic institutions worked together to manufacture the "Blue Zones" longevity story, and why the real history of Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, and Loma Linda tells a very different tale about meat, pork, and animal fat. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Belinda Fettke is an independent researcher known for investigating the historical, religious, and commercial influences on modern dietary guidelines. After her husband, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gary Fettke, was investigated for advising patients to reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates, she began researching the origins of nutrition policy and public health messaging. Her work focuses on the intersections of religion, industry, and dietary recommendations. The interview explores how these factors may have shaped modern views on meat, plant-based diets, and chronic disease.
We discuss the following:
Belinda Fettke’s background
Kellogg, fiber, and sexual repression
Birth of the dietetics industry
Religious roots of nutrition
Adventist studies and veganism
Debunking the Blue Zones diet
Okinawa longevity under scrutiny
Ikaria's fasting and snail diet
Loma Linda's "fifth blue zone" myth
Harvard's role in dietary guidelines
Nutrition messaging in schools
Ellen G. White's hidden writings
Adventist influence on guidelines
The demonization of pork

PCOS has a new name: PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The shift matters because PCOS was never really just about “cysts” on the ovaries. It has always been a broader endocrine and metabolic condition that can affect periods, ovulation, androgen hormones, insulin signaling, skin, mood, and long-term cardiometabolic risk.
In this short solo episode, I break down why the name is changing, what PMOS means, how diagnosis works, and why symptoms like irregular periods may be less random than they seem. I also touch on the deeper question: could some cases of PMOS be an early warning sign of broader inflammatory or biotoxin-driven dysfunction, including CIRS?

MCAS is often treated like a food problem. But if your “safe food” list keeps getting smaller, restriction may no longer be the solution.
In this episode, Judy Cho explains why mast cell activation syndrome is not just about histamine, why food reactions can be a sign of a deeper immune threshold problem, and why the goal is not to fear more foods. The goal is to understand why the body is reacting in the first place.
What is MCAS
Causes of MCAS and histamine flares
Mast cell symptoms
Mast cell activation syndrome, root cause
Mast cells and the nervous system, stress response
High histamine foods
Histamine liberator foods
DAO-blocking foods, the DAO enzyme
Supplements, medication supports for MCAS, histamines
MCAS, histamine testing
