The Fertility Factors: Blood Sugar, Protein, and Nutrient Density | Lily Nichols

This episode's information revealed just how much of our 'regulated' nutritional information is either completely outdated or incorrect. Here with Lily Nichols, a renowned dietitian and author who is not afraid to speak on the controversial dietary topics, we discuss where current nutritional guidelines on protein and micronutrients impact overall health and hold us back, particularly for those looking to optimise fertility and metabolic health. Tune in to get the latest on: 🤰 Nutritional foundations for maternal and child health - pre-pregnancy, pre-natal, and post natal 🍩 Blood sugar regulation and nutrient-dense diets for prospective parents ℹ️ The actually essential roles of non-essential amino acids 👶🏻 A protein-forward, nutrient dense intake for maternal health and fetal development 🌾 Supplementing vs real foods - the synergies 🧬 How nutrients (like choline, vitamin D, and B12) influence genetic expression from the womb onward This conversation is a must for prospective parents, and anyone seeking to understand how optimal nutrition intersects with fertility, energy, and lifelong health.

Dr Thomas Seager, PhD |The Metabolic Theory of Cancer: Mitochondrial Defects, Cold Water and Ketosis

Thomas argues that the war on cancer, launched over 50 years ago, has failed to make significant strides in combatting the disease due to a fundamental misunderstanding of its origins. With scientific clarity, Dr. Seager explains: 🔬the theory of cancer as a metabolic disease, beginning with defects in mitochondrial DNA, rather than the previously believed nuclear DNA 🍯 how glucose metabolism plays a crucial role in cancer growth 💧 ketosis and cold exposure therapies in inhibiting tumour growth 🏆 inspiring case studies using cold water to combat cancer (see episode with Dean Hall) ⚠️ the limitations of traditional cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiation) and the need for more research and openness towards alternative and/or adjunct therapies focused on metabolic health, mitochondrial function, and lifestyle choices. If you know of someone with cancer at the moment, share this with them. Or better yet, read the papers and books mentioned below and entertain the possibility that there may be additional things you can do to revolutionise their cancer care and improve the prognosis for a loved one. Surely that's worth a read.

Why Most Chronic Disease Starts with Metabolic Health | Dr Campbell Murdoch

Why are so many people sick and why does so much of modern medicine still miss the root cause? In this episode, Dr Campbell Murdoch shares why metabolic health may sit at the centre of today’s chronic disease epidemic. From insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes to fatty liver, high blood pressure, inflammation, kidney dysfunction, and energy crashes, this conversation explores how the body starts to break down when it loses metabolic flexibility and how quickly things can improve when the right levers are pulled. We cover: * metabolic health explained simply * insulin resistance and blood sugar regulation * reversing type 2 diabetes * why mainstream medicine has been slow to change * practical lifestyle interventions that actually move the needle * why better health can happen faster than people think A grounded and eye-opening conversation on root causes, real change, and what healthcare should be focusing on. If you want, I can also turn this into short reel captions and thumbnail quotes pulled from the strongest clips in the episode. Exploring the benefits of red and infra light therapy?

Bipolar, keto, and a second chance | Dyane Harwood

What happens when a ketogenic approach doesn’t just change your diet but changes your quality of life? In this episode, Dyane Harwood shares her deeply personal story of living with bipolar disorder, navigating postpartum bipolar onset, and discovering ketogenic therapy as part of her path toward greater stability and resilience. We talk about the nuance often missing from online conversations around keto and mental health, including medication, sleep, metabolic psychiatry, and why this approach is not about simplistic “cure” narratives, but about finding tools that genuinely help. We also explore: * bipolar disorder and postpartum onset * ketogenic therapy for mental health * vegan keto and practical implementation * sleep, CPAP, and quality of life * hope, nuance, and second chances through metabolic psychiatry A thoughtful and honest conversation about mental health, metabolism, and what it means to find something that truly helps.
