    646. Why GLP-1s Will Never Fix Your Metabolism — But T2 + Glutathione Can: The Cellular Truth About Thyroid Optimization Nobody Is Telling You
    Jul 10 2026
    GLP-1 medications can be effective tools for weight loss, but do they actually improve your metabolism? In this episode, I explain what the latest research says about GLP-1s, why muscle loss and a lower resting metabolic rate deserve more attention, and why appetite suppression isn't the same as metabolic health. We also explore what happens inside the cell, including the roles of thyroid hormones, mitochondria, T2, and glutathione in energy production. I'll share why I developed my new T2 Cream with glutathione and how it fits into a broader approach to supporting metabolism at the cellular level. What you’ll learn: Why weight loss doesn't always mean a healthier metabolism What GLP-1 medications can and can't do The connection between thyroid hormones and mitochondria Why muscle matters for metabolic health The role of T2 in cellular energy production Why glutathione was paired with T2 in the new cream How to think about metabolism beyond calorie restriction If you're looking for a more complete understanding of metabolism (whether you're using a GLP-1 or not) this episode is for you.

    645. You Can't Take Weight Loss Advice from a Fat Doctor: Confessions and Longevity Hacks from America's Most Hated Doctor
    Jul 7 2026
    Dr. Ivan Rusilko joins me to talk about why so many patients feel unheard, what he believes is missing from conventional healthcare, and how lifestyle, hormone balance, diagnostic testing, and patient education all fit into a more comprehensive approach to wellness. We also discuss how his background in athletics and preventive medicine shaped the way he practices today, long before functional medicine became mainstream. We get into how patients can become better advocates for their own health, what questions they should ask when choosing a provider, and why individualized care requires looking beyond a single lab value or diagnosis. We also discuss the growing influence of social media and AI in healthcare, the challenges facing both conventional and functional medicine, and the importance of balancing evidence, clinical experience, and common sense when helping people improve their health. What you’ll learn: Why Dr. Ivan chose a preventive and lifestyle-focused approach from the very beginning of his medical career The questions every patient should ask when evaluating a healthcare provider Why comprehensive lab testing is only valuable when you know how to interpret and apply the results How hormone health extends far beyond estrogen and testosterone alone The role stress, sleep, nutrition, and exercise play in long-term health outcomes What concerns us most about today's wellness industry and the rise of health influencers How AI and social media are changing the way patients seek medical information Tune in to hear what quality healthcare should look like, how to become a more informed participant in your own health journey, and why asking better questions often leads to better outcomes.

    644. The Thyroid is the Root Cause of Your OTHER Health Conditions
    Jul 3 2026
    In this episode, I'm tackling one of the questions I hear more than almost any other: What is the real root cause of thyroid disease? I explain why I believe the thyroid itself deserves far more attention than it's currently given, and why I think many conversations about "finding the root cause" can send people down expensive and unnecessary paths. We also talk about how functional medicine is marketed, where patients can get caught between conflicting messages, and why it's important to understand the difference between treating symptoms, chasing triggers, and addressing thyroid function directly. What you’ll learn: Why I believe the thyroid should be the starting point, not the last consideration The difference between identifying triggers and treating what is happening now How thyroid function can influence systems throughout the entire body Why I question some popular "root cause" programs and protocols My perspective on T4-only therapy and why I encourage looking beyond TSH alone What reverse T3 is and why I believe it's an important lab marker to understand Whether you've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, or you're simply searching for answers that connect the dots, this conversation is designed to challenge assumptions and help you think differently about your thyroid health.
