• Dr. Brian Lenzkes: Why Your 'Normal' Blood Sugar Might Be a Metabolic Time Bomb

  Have you ever wondered why some people exercise religiously and follow all the right diets but still struggle with weight and metabolic health? Dr. Brian Lenzkes, ten-time recipient of San Diego's "Best Doctor" award, reveals the missing pieces in our understanding of metabolic health that might be sabotaging your efforts.Dr. Lenzkes opens up about his personal journey through metabolic dysfunction despite being a practicing physician with all the "right" knowledge. When his blood sugar reached pre-diabetic levels despite regular exercise and following conventional dietary guidance, he knew something fundamental was missing from mainstream medicine's approach.The breakthrough came from an unexpected source—an elderly patient who lost 40 pounds through intermittent fasting. This led Dr. Lenzkes down a path that transformed his medical practice, helping patients come off diabetes medications completely and reverse conditions he once believed were permanent.In this conversation, Dr. Lenzkes delivers several shocking revelations. First, the blood sugar tests your doctor runs might be missing the most important marker of metabolic health—insulin levels. He explains how high insulin can silently damage your body for years before blood sugar numbers ever change. Second, he explains why muscle mass might be the single most important factor for longevity, even more significant than avoiding smoking or drinking. Finally, he demonstrates through patient stories how stress, poor sleep, and even arguments with loved ones can spike blood sugar more dramatically than eating cookies.Whether you're struggling with weight loss plateaus, puzzling blood sugar readings, or just want to understand why conventional medical wisdom keeps failing so many people, Dr. Lenzkes offers practical insights that bridge traditional medicine with cutting-edge lifestyle approaches. His message is ultimately one of hope—that with the right understanding of how our bodies actually work, many of the metabolic conditions considered "chronic" might actually be reversible.Ready to discover what might be missing in your health journey? Listen now to understand the surprising connections between stress, muscle, insulin resistance, and lasting health.Enjoyed this episode?

• Matt Baszucki: The Power of Ketogenic Therapy for Bipolar Disorder

  What if the root cause of severe mental illness isn't a chemical imbalance in the brain, but a metabolic disorder that can be addressed through diet? Matt Bazuki's remarkable recovery from debilitating bipolar disorder offers compelling evidence for this revolutionary approach.At just 19 years old, Matt's life spiraled into chaos as bipolar disorder took hold. Despite coming from a supportive, educated family, he found himself cycling through psychiatric hospitalizations, taking multiple medications, and even experiencing homelessness during manic episodes. Conventional treatments failed him completely – he was officially labeled "treatment resistant" while taking five different psychiatric medications that left him barely functional.The turning point came when Matt's mother discovered research on ketogenic diets for mental health. After implementing a strict ketogenic diet in 2021, Matt experienced what can only be described as a miracle – his symptoms completely resolved within months. Today, nearly four years later, he lives independently, works successfully, and has drastically reduced his medications.Matt explains the science behind his recovery with remarkable clarity. Mental illnesses like bipolar disorder may fundamentally be disorders of brain energy metabolism. For some people, switching from glucose to ketones as the primary brain fuel source creates a metabolically favorable environment that allows the brain to function normally again. This challenges our understanding of these conditions as purely genetic or as simple "chemical imbalances."Beyond diet alone, Matt follows a comprehensive metabolic health protocol that includes proper sleep hygiene, regular exercise, meditation, and circadian rhythm management. This holistic approach supports his brain's energy needs from multiple angles, creating sustainable mental wellness.Now co-hosting the BipolarCast podcast, Matt shares the stories of others who've found similar healing through metabolic interventions. His family has established the Bazuki Foundation to fund research in this emerging field of metabolic psychiatry – work that may ultimately transform how we understand and treat mental illness.Could changing what you eat change your mind? For those suffering from treatment-resistant mental health conditions, Matt's journey offers not just inspiration, but a practical pathway toward recovery that conventional psychiatry has overlooked. Listen now to discover how addressing the metabolism might be the key to mental health that millions have been searching for.Enjoyed this episode?
