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 Genius Life 191: The Secret to Permanent Weight Loss That No One Talks About | Liz Josefsberg

Liz Josefsberg is best known for helping Oscar-winning actress and musician Jennifer Hudson lose weight and transform her life, along with Jessica Simpson, Charles Barkley, Katie Couric, Suze Orman, and Amber Riley. Today, she coaches both high-profile talent and everyday clients in all areas of weight loss, balance, and nutrition. Liz is also the author of Target 100: The World's Simplest Weight-Loss Program in 6 Easy Steps.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• The habit loops and behavior patterns in your environment that can contribute to weight gain⁠—or loss⁠—over time (and how the multi-billion dollar food industry benefits from programming you to do the wrong things).

• The common misconceptions about weight loss that Liz had to overcome when she lost (and kept off) 65 pounds after being overweight since childhood.

• 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!
