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. ...

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...

We tend to think of inflammation as something that just happens… a normal response to stress, aging, or injury.

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.
