The Genius Life 198: How to Test and Improve Your Metabolic Health | Casey Means, MD

Casey Means, MD is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools that can inform smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• When only 12 percent of American adults are metabolically healthy and over 50 percent have prediabetes or type two diabetes, it's past time to examine the root causes instead of waiting to patch up the casualties on the operating table—or in the morgue.

• How metabolism works (or doesn't) and why such a wide array of disorders and conditions—from diabetes and hypertension to dementia and fibromyalgia to erectile dysfunction to ovarian syndrome—can be traced to metabolic causes.

• How the cascade of modern conveniences, comforts, and cost-cutters contribute, like a row of dominoes, to the cluster of symptoms related to metabolic dysfunction.

• Vigilance is simple: why an otherwise healthy person should be regularly monitoring their blood glucose to avoid succumbing to the glycemic variability that indicates a future risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

• What we can do, especially if we're among the 74 percent of Americans who are struggling with being overweight or obese, to reel in the consequences of indulging in too many of the modern world's tailor-made temptations.

• And so much more!

The Genius Life 197: Stop Back, Knee and Shoulder Pain and Live Pain-Free Forever | MoveU's Mike Wasilisin, DC

Dr. Mike Wasilisin is a chiropractor with over 12 years of experience in the medical field. After working with over 10,000 patients in person and recognizing the pitfalls of the broken healthcare system that kept them feeling and performing suboptimally, he founded MoveU, an online program designed for improving posture and performance while eliminating pain.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• The WHO attributes 97 percent of pain to lifestyle-related causes—which can be alleviated or eliminated just by changing the way you move.

• Why you shouldn't panic if you've ever been diagnosed with the overused and abused term "scoliosis," and how Mike helped his wife Katie overcome the symptoms of enduring 17 years of it.

• How running a gauntlet of far less catchy slogans for MoveU eventually resulted in Mike's spontaneous utterance of the much-celebrated one that stuck: "FIX YO SH!T"

• How to fix yo deadlift—and avoid the type of back pain suffered by a high percentage of Mike's clients—with a simple pelvic hip tilt correction.

• Easy lifestyle adjustments—beyond stretching—that you can take to fix yo overall spinal and body alignment (including five movements that are an absolute must).

• And so much more!

The Genius Life 192: How to Boost Your Metabolism, Melt Away Body Fat, and Free Yourself From Calorie Counting Forever | Jason Fung, MD

Jason Fung, MD is a Toronto-based nephrologist, obesity expert, co-host of the Low Carb MD Podcast, author of The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code, and co-author of The Complete Guide to Fasting and The Longevity Solution. His latest book (with Eve Mayer and Megan Ramos) is Life in the Fasting Lane: How to Make Intermittent Fasting a Lifestyle―and Reap the Benefits of Weight Loss and Better Health.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• The key to sending type two diabetes into remission and eliminating its associated risks.

• Why reducing obesity is a matter of controlling the environment rather than pointing to an epidemic-level failure of willpower.

• Getting a regular intake of natural foods and reducing the highly processed garbage consumed matter more than counting macronutrients.

• Don't believe everything you read: just because an industrially processed box of food at the grocery store is marketed as being "healthy" doesn't make it so—no matter how many red heart logos they can fit on the package.

• Why we're compelled to fill up on ultra-processed foods, but know when to stop when it comes to natural foods (hint: it's by design).

• And so much more!

• The tiny steps you can take to form the right habits conducive to attaining and retaining your ideal weight rather than relying on a limited (and ultimately depleted) supply of motivation.

• What you can do to reward yourself in ways that harness the momentum of good choices rather than reaching for that snack or binge-watching sitcom reruns.

• With over 75 percent of Americans walking around dehydrated, Liz considers hydration to be an often-overlooked and easily applied "superpower" that can be a game changer once you're mindful of it.

• And so much more!

The Genius Life 189: Getting Fit With Minimal Time and Money, Top Plant-Based Proteins, and How to Support Underserved Communities | Joe Holder

Joe Holder is a nationally recognized master trainer and one of the most influential coaches in fitness and sports. He is the founder of the Ocho System, Plant-Based Gang, and Exercise Snacks. He's also a writer for GQ and a consultant for Nike, Hyperice, Dyson, and more.

• How Joe's dad—a doctor—helped him recover from faulty nutritional advice perpetrated by his college's strength and conditioning coach.

• What Joe's plant-leaning "flexitarian" nutritional regimen looks like these days, and where he primarily gets his protein.

• How society could benefit from a nutritional and fitness safety net for underserved communities, what legislation with this goal in mind might look like, and how we, as individuals, can help.

• How we might find exercise more palatable (and with greater effect) if we took it in small chunks that Joe calls "exercise snacks."

• And so much more!

The Genius Life 187: Nihil Hic Est | Alan Smithee

Alan Smithee is an official pseudonym used by film directors who wish to disown a project. Coined in 1968 and used until it was formally discontinued in 2000, it was the sole pseudonym used by members of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) when directors, dissatisfied with the final product, proved to the satisfaction of a guild panel that they had not been able to exercise creative control over a film.

• Why taking a regular break from the countless conveniences of modern life is good for your health, fitness, and mental well-being.

• Why, if you're among the people who spend 92 percent of their time indoors, you should use neurologist Rachel Hopman's 20-5-3 "nature pyramid" rule to ensure you're reaping the aesthetic, intellectual, and cognitive benefits of the great outdoors.

• What "rucking" is and why it might be the best exercise for you if, like most people, you hate exercise.

The Genius Life 185: Eat These Foods Today to Heal Your Body and Fight Disease | William Li, MD

Dr. William Li is President of The Angiogenesis Foundation, a world-renowned physician, research scientist currently studying the vascular impact of COVID-19, speaker (his TED Talk has over 11 million views), and NYT bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• How leveraging angiogenesis—the growth of new capillary blood vessels in the body and the common denominator of the world's most debilitating diseases—led to the founding of The Angiogenesis Foundation, which has had an impact on 50 million lives over 25 years.

• The progress that's been made in the last decade to nail down the science of dietary health as a means to prevent these diseases before they need to be cured or controlled by drugs.

• Common misconceptions about what it means to "eat healthily"—and why it can feel like such an uphill battle for those of us constantly struggling to do the right thing.

• Why the scientific answer to "What is health?" goes well beyond the mere absence of disease.

• The body’s five defense systems and what we should eat (and avoid) to ensure they're optimally bolstered—whether we're omnivorous, pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan.

• And so much more!

The Genius Life 182: How Propolis, Bee Pollen, and Royal Jelly Can Fix Your Health Today | Carly Stein

Carly Stein is the founder and CEO of Beekeeper's Naturals, a clean medicine company selling sustainably sourced bee products that she founded when an Italian pharmacist relieved her tonsilitis with propolis—a combination of tree and plant resin created by bees to protect the hive.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• How a chance cure for Carly's tonsillitis while studying abroad realigned her career path from banker to beekeeper.

• Why the welfare of bees is critical to the well-being of everything and everyone on the planet, and what Beekeeper's Naturals does to protect them.

• How bees make honey, propolis, and royal jelly, and the ways humans have been using these substances throughout history.

• Why bee pollen consistency varies, and how to ensure you're getting the most nutritional value from it.

• The different types of honey available on the market today, and why the most expensive isn't necessarily the most beneficial.

• And so much more!

Zak Williams is a mental health advocate on the boards of Yerba Buena Center For The Arts and Bring Change to Mind, and co-founder and CEO of Prepare Your Mind, a company that creates all-natural amino acid mood chews. Zak shares how the death by suicide of his late father, Robin Williams, galvanized his campaign for mental health advocacy and helped him heal in the service of others.

• Why mental health advocates like Zak use the term "died by suicide" and how it makes a difference in the way we perceive those who have succumbed to this tragedy.

• Zak describes his own battles with PTSD after losing his father and how committing to mental health advocacy served to help him heal from this loss.

• How the stigma surrounding mental health conditions has hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children across 60 countries literally chained and confined in shame.

• Why breaking the stigma around mental health conditions and making it socially acceptable to seek help is crucial for the millions who are vulnerable to dying by suicide, and what the barriers are that stand in the way of this goal.

• And so much more!
