Descripción

This episode is for anyone who has ever counted calories, tried the next “miracle” diet, or gone to bed mad at themselves because of what they ate… or didn’t eat. I talk with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Jessica Setnick, who has spent decades in the trenches of those hard conversations, about why so many of us feel like food is running the show and why “I’m fine” usually translates to “feelings I’m not expressing.” We start with that little word fine, move into the awkward “so what do you do” conversations about being a dietitian, and quickly land in the uncomfortable truth that a lot of what we call “healthy” is shaped by culture, social media, government, and marketing long before we ever sit down to eat. Jessica breaks down why there isn’t one “normal” way to eat and why those neat little plate diagrams and public health messages can actually make us feel more broken, not less. She explains how the same tools used to help people with full-blown eating disorders can help the rest of us who are “just trying to eat better” but keep getting stuck in the same cycles of rules, rebellion, and regret. We get into intermittent fasting, processed food fear, and the way people brag about their diets as if food has become their whole personality, and she doesn’t hold back on what’s actually harmful versus what just sounds good on TikTok.

Circadian Rhythm Saved My Life (EP 106)

If you’ve ever done all the “right” health things and still felt awful, Jason Yun’s story is going to sound uncomfortably familiar. He was the textbook gym owner: 4:30 am alarms, 5:15 am classes, late‑night sessions, massive smoothies, and bodybuilding nutrition that looked impressive on paper but quietly wrecked his hormones, sleep, and mental health. Behind the scenes, he went from chasing muscle and performance to dealing with a popped back on a deadlift, losing about 70 pounds, spiraling into severe depression, and battling weekly suicidal thoughts while still being “the health guy” for his clients. In our conversation, Jason opens up about napping in his car just to survive the next class, living on expert diet rules and supplements, and still ending up with upside‑down cortisol, wrecked melatonin, and a body that couldn’t keep up. That’s the line where he finally said, “enough” and went all in on circadian rhythm, light, and what he calls Mito hacking. We dig into why late‑night eating crushed his sleep, how sunrise with naked eyes started normalizing his hormones in weeks, and why timing, light, and simple daily rhythms might matter more than your macro spreadsheet or the latest stack. === Chapter * 00:23 Introduction * 01:45 Sunlight, Sunscreen, and Sunglasses * 08:28 Safe Sun Exposure Strategies * 12:06 What Is Mito Hacking? * 17:43 Skepticism and Bioharmonizing * 21:39 The Improvement Warrior Mindset * 24:11 Seasonal Eating and Circadian Nutrition * 26:51 How Fast Changes Show Up * 27:39 Light Over Food and Exercise === Guest: Jason Yun, Improvement Warrior Fitness * Website: https://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com [https://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonyun3010 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonyun3010] * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnesswithyun [https://www.instagram.com/fitnesswithyun] === Shout-outs * Dr. Jack Kruse, Kruse Longevity Center: https://jackkruse.com/ [https://jackkruse.com/] * Ben Greenfield, Ben Greenfield Life: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bengreenfield/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bengreenfield/] * Sarah Kleiner, Sarah Kleiner Wellness: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/ [https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/] === Resources / Companies / Books / Podcasts * The Secret (book): https://amzn.to/4ulEsPE [https://amzn.to/4ulEsPE] * Website: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymstone.sunpositiondemo [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymstone.sunpositiondemo] * MyCircadian App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.app] * Website: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076578 [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076578] * Keto diet: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto [https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto] * Paleo diet: https://thepaleodiet.com/ [https://thepaleodiet.com/] === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item * Item Title: Healthy Eating * Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P * Author Username: CrazyTunes * Licensee: Marvin Bee * Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast * License Date: January 3rd, 2026 * Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

Stop Giving Your Health Away (EP 105)

Magic Barclay spent more than 40 years being the “good patient” who did what she was told, took the pills, and tried to push through the pain, only to be told it was all in her head. In this conversation, she shares how chronic illness, cancer, medical gaslighting, and being quietly dropped from social invitations finally forced her to ask a hard question: what if my body has been right all along and nobody bothered to listen. We dig into how functional medicine helped her stop playing whack‑a‑mole with symptoms and start looking at root causes, including trauma, hormones, and a powerful pathway called PNEI that links your thoughts, nervous system, hormones, and immune system. Magic explains why autoimmune issues are not “your body attacking itself,” why even a paper cut counts as trauma, and how fear keeps us handing our health over to people who never teach us what’s actually happening.

It’s Not Lyme, It’s Something Else (EP 104)

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with “normal” labs but a body that feels like it’s falling apart, this episode is for you. Greg Lee and I dig into the tech he uses in his Lyme Research and Healing Center, a scanner that works kind of like Star Trek medicine to pick up hidden infections, toxins, brain issues, and gut problems that standard tests miss. We get into why some folks do “everything right” with antibiotics and still crash, and why so many end up asking Google and AI for answers after the medical system shrugs. Greg shares real stories you will not forget. There’s the UK school leader who spent five years treating Lyme, only to find out her biggest problem was candida overgrowth from all those antibiotics, and the woman whose chronic symptoms traced back to tarantula toxins after a beach trip in Florida. We even talk about the college kid with genius-level brains whose memory came back after snorting bee venom under supervision, plus some intense Herxheimer reactions that will make you think twice about “more meds, more often” as a strategy. Chapters * 0:27 Journey to Lyme Healing * 1:32 From Pain to Lyme Practice * 2:40 Herbs, Infections, and Relief * 4:17 Discovering the Body Scan * 5:58 Wearables and Future Scanning * 8:37 Decoding Scan Results * 10:20 Experimental, Not FDA Approved * 11:44 Herbs, Herx, and Caution * 14:25 Patients Turn to Google * 15:57 Treating Patients Worldwide * 18:08 When Lyme Wasn't Lyme * 19:55 Bee Venom Breakthrough * 24:39 Who Needs This Care * 26:13 What the Scanner Detects * 28:22 Weekly Healing Community * 31:18 Star Trek Medicine Ahead === Guest: Greg Lee, Lyme Research & Healing Center * Website: https://lymeresearchandhealing.com [https://lymeresearchandhealing.com] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/goodbyelyme/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/goodbyelyme/] === Resources / Companies / Books / Podcasts * Fitbit: https://www.fitbit.com [https://www.fitbit.com] * Star Trek: https://www.startrek.com [https://www.startrek.com] * Website: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com [https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com] * Sprouts Farmers Market: https://www.sprouts.com [https://www.sprouts.com] * George Mason University: https://www.gmu.edu [https://www.gmu.edu] * Doxycycline: https://www.drugs.com/doxycycline.html [https://www.drugs.com/doxycycline.html] === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item * Item Title: Healthy Eating * Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P * Author Username: CrazyTunes * Licensee: Marvin Bee * Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast * License Date: January 3rd, 2026 * Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

From NASA Robots To Root Cause (EP 103)

Greg Lee didn’t leave NASA because he got bored playing with robots in space. He left because his gut was exploding, his brain felt like dial‑up internet, and the meds that were supposed to “fix” him made it worse. Picture running high‑stakes experiments at 2:30 in the morning while wondering if you’re going to sprint out of a meeting to the bathroom again. His doctors told him it was irritable bowel syndrome, gave him a prescription, and sent him on his way… even as the brain fog and anxiety started tanking his work and his sleep. Out of options, Greg followed a colleague’s suggestion and tried acupuncture. Not only did an acupuncturist help calm his gut and change his diet, it cracked open a completely different way of looking at health, energy, and what “root cause” actually means. That path led him out of engineering and into Chinese medicine, subtle energy work, and eventually to running the Lyme Research and Healing Center in Maryland, where he helps people with Lyme, mold, autoimmune issues, and long‑term “what is wrong with me?” symptoms that everyone else shrugs off.
