You're Not Depressed. You're Deficient in this Nutrient (#1 Psychologist: Julia Ross)
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
IN THIS EPISODE When we feel anxious, down, or just not like ourselves, we usually assume something in our life is to blame. But what if sometimes the problem isn’t your life… it’s that your brain is missing a crucial nutrient? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with Julia Ross, a pioneer in the nutritional use of amino acids for mood, cravings, eating disorders, and addiction. After more than 40 years of clinical work, she’s helping answer some fascinating questions about the connection between protein, brain chemistry, and how we feel. ...

Can Eating Meat Actually Be Healthy? with Dr. Drew Pinsky
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
IN THIS EPISODE We’re told meat is dangerous, fat is the enemy, and cereal somehow ends up with a better “health score” than beef or eggs. But what if much of that narrative is based on oversimplified science… and not the full picture of human biology? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Drew Pinsky to unpack his personal health transformation and what he believes is the powerful link between diet, inflammation, brain function, and long-term metabolic health. Drawing from decades in medicine and his own experience shifting to a low-carb,...

The Glyphosate Problem Nobody's Talking About (Can Glycine Fix it?) with Dr. Stephanie Seneff.
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. But what if its impact on human health goes far beyond the plants it was designed to kill? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Seneff and I dive into one of the most controversial and fascinating theories in modern health: the possible connection between glyphosate, glycine, and chronic disease. Glycine is an amino acid that plays a massive role in proteins, collagen, digestion, detoxification, immune function, and cellular repair. And according to Dr. Seneff’s research,...

Rethinking Saturated Fat and Healthy Aging with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
For decades, we’ve been told to avoid saturated fat. But what if one specific saturated fat is actually essential for healthy aging? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson and I discuss a groundbreaking discovery that could completely reshape how we think about fat, aging, and metabolic health. While studying aging Navy dolphins, Dr. Venn-Watson and her team uncovered something unexpected… The healthiest, longest-living dolphins consistently had higher levels of a little-known fatty acid called C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid). And researchers now believe C15...

The Supplement Industry Is Lying To You with Robyn Openshaw - Green Smoothie Girl
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
Most of us assume supplements are helping us. After all… they’re marketed as essential for filling nutrient gaps, supporting immunity, and optimizing health.

In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with Robyn Openshaw (author, researcher, and founder of GreenSmoothieGirl) to pull back the curtain on the supplement industry. What she uncovered after years of deep research may completely change how you think about the pills in your cabinet. From synthetic vitamins to fish oil, collagen, and beyond, Robyn explains why...

The Real Reason You Can't Lose Weight | It's Not What You Think (Dr. Hyman reveals)
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
IN THIS EPISODE We’ve been told weight loss is simple: “Eat less and move more.” And if you can’t… it must be a willpower problem. But Dr. Mark Hyman says this story doesn’t match what we’re seeing in real life… or what the science actually shows. In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Hyman to unpack the real drivers behind stubborn weight gain (and why so many people feel like their body is working against them). We talk about how today’s food environment is built around ultra-processed, hyper-palatable ingredients...

The Anti-Inflammatory Amino Acid You May Be Deficient In
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
We tend to think of inflammation as something that just happens… a normal response to stress, aging, or injury. But what if much of today’s chronic inflammation is actually a nutrient deficiency problem hiding in plain sight? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with Joel Brind, a world-renowned biochemist and author of The Glycine Miracle, to explore why glycine (an amino acid long labeled “non-essential”) may actually be one of the most critical and overlooked nutrients in modern diets. Dr. Brind explains how glycine acts as the body’s natural anti-inflammatory...

Is your leaky skin causing chronic disease? (Here’s what to do) with Kiran Krishnan
ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith
It’s easy to think that skin issues are just cosmetic… something to cover up, manage, or ignore. But what if your skin is actually one of the earliest warning systems in your body? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with microbiologist Kiran Krishnan to explore a groundbreaking (and often overlooked) connection: Your skin health may predict your risk for chronic disease, inflammation, and even how you age. Drawing from decades of microbiome research, Kiran explains why conditions like acne, eczema, dryness, and sensitivity may be signs of deeper dysfunction. And more...

According to Dr. Knobbe, at the end of the American Civil War:
-
Only about 1% of the population was obese
-
Heart disease was almost unheard of
-
Cancer and diabetes were exceedingly rare
-
Alzheimer’s and age-related macular degeneration were unknown
In other words, chronic disease was rare in America, which is not the case today.
Although animal fats, sugar, and carbohydrates often take the blame for our rising disease rates, Dr. Knobbe's new book, The Ancestral Diet Revolution, argues that the real dietary villains are the vegetable oils that have replaced traditional animal fats.
Tune in to this week’s podcast to uncover why seed oils might be more critical to avoid than sugar, along with these fascinating insights:
-
What seed oils were used for before they became food
-
Why sugar consumption (and maybe even carbs) may be less dangerous than seed oils
-
The two mechanisms by which vegetable oils cause issues in the body
-
What OXLAMS are and why they should concern us
-
How vegetable oils can lead to fatigue and weight gain
-
What to eat on a truly ancestral diet
-
How to choose healthful animal products
-
And so much more!
Dr. Knobbe’s extensive research into this subject blew me away, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.
