In fact, roughly 50% of people who die from heart attacks either have normal cholesterol levels, or are taking anti-cholesterol medications! In this episode I discuss what an extensive lipid panel needs to include, what the results might mean, and what you should do about it!

Don't Skip These Thyroid Tests!
The Trust Your Gut Podcast
Most standard Thyroid panels do NOT test enough metrics to help you make the best decisions around your health. If you’ve only tested 1-3 metrics - usually TSH, T3, and T4 - then this isn’t enough information to decide to go on medications. You need a bigger picture, mainly because the vast majority of Thyroid issues are actually being caused by something else underlying anyway. In this episode I discuss the full Thyroid panel that you need tested, and what the results mean.

WARNING: Listen To This Before Eating Eggs
The Trust Your Gut Podcast
Eggs truly are nature’s superfood, full of so many important micronutrients that we need to live a healthy life. However, not all eggs are created equal thanks to the living conditions of the laying chicken. When a chicken is able to live it’s natural lifestyle, foraging and scratching for bugs, outside in the sunlight and fresh air, while also not being injected with any hormones or antibiotics then their eggs will be amazing for your health. But a chicken that never sees sunlight and only eats a highly inflammatory diet of chicken feed made from corn and grains, then the eggs will not...

info_outlineThere’s no official cause behind Metabolic Syndrome, although it’s treated in a very similar way to Type 2 diabetes - drugs!
But, what if we are looking at these conditions the completely wrong way?
In my opinion, both metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes start out as a protective mechanism, where the body is trying to protect itself against the massive blood sugar spikes and inflammation created by the poor diets so many of us consume these days.
The combination of processed sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and nasty vegetable oils (and other seed oils) are ruining the body, so it tries to protect itself.
But this only works in the short term before the insulin resistance starts to kick in.
I’ve seen so many people reverse these conditions through massive lifestyle changes that in my opinion, medications should ONLY be used short term (if at all) while teaching the person how to start reversing everything.
In this episode I cover the lifestyle changes you’ll need to implement immediately if you’re in (or headed towards) metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes.
