S 920: Metabolism, Body Composition and Labs: Why Most People Get Lean the Wrong Way /OR/ Beyond Diet Culture and Cookie-Cutter Plans
3d ago00:10:30Tap to summarizeMost of the conversation around nutrition in the fitness industry is really diet culture in disguise. There's a cookie-cutter template at the end of every book, a subscription waiting on the other side of every plan, and almost no one is actually teaching people how to think critically about the choices they make for their bodies. Inside today's featured replay interview on the Strong New York podcast, I get into the broader conversation on metabolism and metabolic health. Topics discussed: - Metabolism as Stress and Energy Regulator- Diet Culture vs Critical Thinking- Generational Shifts in Food Culture- Stomach Acid in Caffeine-Heavy Athletes- FODMAPs, Fruit, and Protein Pairing- Maintenance Calories as a Moving Target- Movement Snacks and NEAT---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 919: The Five Drivers of Adult Acne: Insulin, Androgens, IGF-1, Gut, and Stress Hormones
6d ago00:15:07Tap to summarizeMost adults dealing with acne have been handed the same three pieces of advice for the last 20 years. Wash your face more, cut out greasy food, try this cream, and if none of that works, get sent to a dermatologist for topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, or Accutane. None of that touches the actual drivers of adult acne. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research actually says about adult acne, the five physiological drivers that show up over and over in the literature, and the framework for working through cases methodically instead of guessing or putting every client on the same restrictive protocol.Topics discussed: - Adult Acne and Standard Advice- Acne as Biofeedback- Hyperinsulinemia as the Upstream Driver- Androgens, DHT, and SHBG- IGF-1 and the Dairy Connection- Gut Microbiome and Skin Inflammation- The Skin's Peripheral HPA Axis- Sleep, Stress, and the Intervention Hierarchy---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 918: Comprehensive Lab Work for Hormones & Metabolic Health: The Markers Most Docs Never Order and The Calories vs. Hormones Debate
1w ago00:20:33Tap to summarizeInside today's featured replay interview, I get into the broader conversation on metabolic health and why I treat calories and hormones as inseparable rather than opposing camps, what a comprehensive lab panel should actually include, and how to think about the testosterone conversation without overreacting. I cover the role of leptin, ghrelin, and GLP-1 in appetite regulation, the homeostatic and hedonic eating systems, and why the people playing macro Tetris while feeling like trash and the people eating Whole30 without the body they want are both missing the same thing. Topics discussed: - The Calories vs Hormones Debate- Leptin, Ghrelin, and GLP-1 in Appetite- Macros as a Tool for a Season- The Full Thyroid and Reproductive Panel- Cardiovascular Markers Beyond Standard Lipids- Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Family History- Why Testosterone Has Declined Since the 1980s- Western Range vs Functional Range- Benchmarking Labs Before You Need Them- The TRT Decision Framework and Fertility---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 917: Misleading Food Labels Explained: When Natural or Organic Products are Actually Worth The Money
2w ago00:21:06Tap to summarizeMost people are paying for grocery labels that aren't doing anything for them, and the FDA doesn't regulate half the words you're paying extra for at checkout. Inside today's episode, I walk through the food quality labels you see every week in the grocery store, which ones are tightly defined, which ones are basically marketing, and where the premium actually earns its keep depending on the category. Tune in to learn how to think about the whole label question when food quality is a refinement on top of getting enough protein, fruits, vegetables, and overall nutrients in the first place.Topics discussed: - Natural, Free Range, and Superfood Claims- "Good Source Of" and FDA Daily Values- Organic Tiers and the USDA Seal- Organic Produce and Pesticide Reality- The Dirty Dozen Methodology Critique- Organic Eggs and the Three-Label Stack- Grass Fed and the American Grass Fed Seal- When Grass Fed Beef Earns the Premium- Wild Caught vs Farm Raised Fish- BAP Certification and Aquaculture Quality---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 916: The TRT Conversation Coaches Need to Be Having With Their Clients: Lab Panels, Test Clubs, and a Tailored Approach
2w ago00:13:00Tap to summarizeThe TRT advice circulating online right now is mostly targeted at one demographic, and it's being applied by people at completely different stages of life, with different goals, different health risks, and very different time horizons on medication. Inside today's featured replay interview, I get into testosterone replacement therapy, the test club industry that's popping up everywhere and questionable clinical standards, and what an actually tailored approach to hormone optimization looks like.Topics discussed: - The Test Club Industry Critique- What a Real Hormone Panel Includes- Metabolic Health Upstream of Testosterone- SHBG in Athletes and Dieters- Cookie-Cutter Scripts and Their Fallouts- The 47-Year-Old vs 26-Year-Old Problem- Hormones as a Goldilocks Problem---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 915: The $59 Billion Anti-Aging Industry vs. What Actually Works at the Cellular Level: Aging from the Inside Out
3w ago00:17:08Tap to summarizeThe anti-aging industry is a $59 billion business built on creams, serums, injections, IV drips, and stem cell tourism, and almost all of it is being sold from the outside in, as the actual aging is happening at the level of your DNA, your mitochondria, and the cellular pathways that decide whether your cells protect themselves or wear themselves down over time. Inside today's episode, I walk through the 80/20 breakdown on longevity that most people aren't getting, starting with the identical twin research showing aging is roughly 20% genetic and 80% lifestyle, and the shift in the field from the oxidative stress theory to the current information theory of aging.Topics discussed: - Genetics vs Lifestyle in Aging- The Nine Hallmarks of Aging- The Information Theory of Aging- Sirtuins, AMPK, and mTOR- The Rhythm Between Growth and Repair- Chronological vs Biological Age- Methylation Clocks and Telomere Length- Nutrition, Fasting, and Training Interventions- Sleep, Stress, and Community---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 914: Why More Fiber Isn't Always the Answer: Understanding Fiber Types, Gut Motility, and FODMAPs
4w ago00:11:04Tap to summarizeFiber is one of the most universally recommended nutrients for gut health, and in most cases that recommendation comes from a good place with good intentions. But there are specific scenarios where more fiber adds insult to injury, and most of the standard advice doesn't account for them. Inside today's episode, I walk through three situations where increasing fiber can actually make symptoms worse. I cover the motility and serotonin physiology behind that finding, the supporting interventions that pair with a short-term fiber reduction, and why this episode is about finding the right dose and the right types of fiber for the right people rather than demonizing fiber across the board. Topics Discussed: - When Fiber Backfires- Stacked Fibers from Processed Foods- Soluble Corn Fiber and Resistant Wheat Starch- Therapeutic Supplemental Fibers- FODMAPs and Gut Symptoms- SIBO and Diarrhea-Dominant IBS- Food and Symptom Tracking- The Zero Fiber Constipation Study- Motility, Serotonin, and the Gut- Right Dose, Right Type, Right Person---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Jun 1200:27:28Tap to summarizeDHEA is one of the most misunderstood hormones in the coaching and health space, and most of the social media conversation around it either oversells the supplement or misses the underlying physiology entirely. Inside today's episode, I break down DHEA and DHEA sulfate, the difference between the two. *NOTE: in this episode I refer to PMOS as PCOS - to learn more about PMOS, check out episode S 905Topics discussed: - DHEA vs DHEA Sulfate- The DHEA-to-Cortisol Ratio- Menstrual Cycle Testing Considerations- Age-Related Decline Patterns- Causes of Low DHEA Sulfate- Hyperandrogenic PCOS and Male PCOS Presentation- Oral Contraceptives and Testosterone Restoration- Immune Effects and Autoimmune Applications- Postmenopausal Supplementation- Cognition, Stress, and Where Supplements Fall Short---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 912: Overuse, Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint Pain and Why the Same Advice Doesn't Work for All of Them
Jun 900:16:45Tap to summarizeJoint pain shows up for at least three completely different reasons, and the right response in each case looks completely different. Inside today's episode, I break down the three drivers of joint pain that show up the most in coaching practice and primary care offices, why treating all three the same way gets you right about a third of the time, and how to actually sort out which one you or your client is dealing with. For coaches and active individuals alike, this is the framework to run before reaching for an intervention. Topics Discussed - Three Drivers of Joint Pain- Overuse and Programming Variables- Volume, Failure Work, and Recovery- Hydrolyzed Collagen and Vitamin C- Osteoarthritis and the Imaging Picture- Two Profiles Most People Miss- Resistance Training and Joint Health- Rheumatoid Arthritis and Gut Origins - The Fasting Trial Data- Individual Triggers vs Generic Protocols---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Transcribe →S 911: Trauma, Cortisol, and the HPA Axis: The Physiological Layer Most Coaches Overlook
Jun 500:16:18Tap to summarizeA dysregulated nervous system will stall body recomposition no matter how dialed the nutrition is or how consistent the training is. Inside today's episode, I dig into trauma as a physiological variable rather than a soft emotional topic, and why most coaching certifications skip this conversation entirely. I break down the autonomic nervous system and HPA axis interplay, the two nervous system presentations , and why the cortisol literature looked contradictory for years.Topics discussed: - Trauma as a Spectrum- Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation- HPA Axis and Cortisol Output- Sympathetic Dominance Presentation- The Dissociative Subtype- Cortisol Patterns Over Time- Childhood vs Adult Trauma- Inverted Diurnal Rhythm- Lifestyle and Clinical Interventions- The Coach's Role and Scope---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
