Episode 302- The Missing Signals Your Body Needs to Burn Fat, Balance Hormones, and Restore Energy with Ethan Okunas, RDN
mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:12:48
What if the missing piece to improving your metabolism, balancing your hormones, and restoring your energy has very little to do with what you're eating? What if the light you're exposed to, the timing of your meals, and the signals your body receives from its environment are just as important as the food on your plate?
This week on Optimal Metabolism, I welcome fellow registered dietitian Ethan Okunas, also known as The Quantum Dietitian, for a fascinating conversation about circadian biology, mitochondrial function, and the environmental factors that influence our metabolic health.
Ethan brings a unique perspective to nutrition, looking beyond calories and macronutrients to explore how our biological clocks, light exposure, and daily habits influence insulin sensitivity, cortisol, leptin, energy production, and our ability to maintain a healthy weight.
We explore why someone can be doing everything "right" with their nutrition yet still struggle with stubborn weight gain, fatigue, blood sugar instability, and hormonal imbalances. We also dig into some lesser-known concepts in quantum biology and how understanding our body's natural rhythms may help us make more informed decisions about our health.
If you've been frustrated by a lack of progress despite eating well and working hard to improve your health, this conversation will give you a whole new perspective on the signals your body needs to function optimally!
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:
Ethan's journey from traditional dietetics into circadian and quantum biology, and why he believes nutrition is only part of the metabolic health picture.
Why two people can eat the exact same foods and experience very different metabolic responses.
The connection between circadian rhythm disruption, insulin resistance, and weight-loss resistance.
Why mitochondrial health is so important for energy production, metabolic flexibility, and overall wellness.
How morning sunlight influences biological signaling and may affect cortisol, blood sugar, appetite, and nighttime sleep.
The relationship between circadian rhythms, leptin signaling, hunger, and late-night cravings.
Why eating the same meal in the morning versus late at night can produce different blood sugar and insulin responses.
What "environmental mismatch" means and how modern lifestyles can interfere with our natural biological rhythms.
What quantum biology actually means and how to distinguish established science from emerging theories.
The concept of structured water and its proposed relationship with light and mitochondrial function
Practical circadian strategies to prioritize when dealing with insulin resistance, stubborn weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and low energy.

Episode 301- Why You Still Feel Terrible When Your Labs Are Normal: The Missing Links Between Thyroid, Gut & Brain Health with Jim Chialtas
mardi 13 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:02:54
Have you ever been told your lab results are perfectly normal, yet you're still struggling with exhaustion, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, digestive problems, or hormonal imbalances? You're not alone, and there may be important pieces of your health puzzle that haven't been explored.
In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I welcome Dr. Jim Chialtas, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist, and advanced Functional Medicine practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience. Jim brings a unique perspective to chronic health challenges by combining Functional Medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine to investigate underlying imbalances and better understand how the body's systems work together.
We dive into the fascinating connections between thyroid health, the brain, gut function, nervous-system regulation, and metabolism. We discuss why conventional lab testing doesn't always provide the full picture, how nervous-system dysfunction may contribute to persistent symptoms, and why seemingly healthy habits like fasting, exercise, and dietary changes don't always produce the results we're hoping for.
If you've been doing everything right but still aren't feeling your best, this conversation will encourage you to look beyond individual symptoms and better understand the interconnected nature of your health!
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:
Why conventional lab results can appear normal even when someone is experiencing significant symptoms.
How two people with nearly identical symptoms can have completely different underlying health challenges.
The connection between thyroid function, metabolism, fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain.
How the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems influence digestion, hormones, and overall well-being.
What functional dysautonomia is and how nervous-system imbalance may contribute to chronic health problems.
The surprising relationship between the brain, gut, and metabolic health.
Why treating digestive symptoms alone may not address the underlying contributors to gut dysfunction.

Episode 300- Could Mold Be Sabotaging Your Metabolism, Hormones & Nervous System? with Ariana Thacker of MoldCo
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:11:47
300 EPISODES! 🎉 After more than six years behind the microphone, I am so grateful to every one of you who has listened, shared an episode, learned alongside me, and supported the evolution of the Optimal Metabolism Podcast. I couldn't think of a more fascinating topic for this milestone episode!
Today I'm joined by Ariana Thacker, founder of MoldCo, whose work in the mold space began after her own devastating experience with mold exposure. Ariana became extremely ill, was dismissed by eight different doctors, and ultimately discovered mold was at the root of what was happening to her health.
This conversation also became very personal for me. I have long suspected mold could be an issue in my son's apartment. He has struggled with frequent illness, coughing and mucus, along with anxiety and nervous-system symptoms. MoldCo sent me one of their home testing kits, so we tested his apartment—and his results came back with a HERTSMI-2 score of 18, which MoldCo categorizes in its highest warning range and recommends further investigation and remediation.
Ariana and I unpack what those results mean, why mold-related illness can be so difficult to recognize, symptoms you may never think to connect to your environment, and how mold exposure may intersect with inflammation, hormones, your immune system, nervous system, and metabolic health.
If you've been doing "all the right things" but continue to struggle with unexplained symptoms, your environment may be another piece of the puzzle.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:
Ariana's personal experience with mold exposure and being dismissed by eight different doctors
How her own health crisis ultimately led her to create MoldCo
Why mold exposure and water-damaged buildings can be overlooked when investigating chronic symptoms
Common and surprising symptoms associated with mold exposure
Why someone can feel chronically sick even when conventional testing continues to come back "normal"
The connections between mold exposure, inflammation, hormones, the immune system and nervous system

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:02:45
What if one of the most overlooked tools for improving blood sugar has been sitting right in front of us all along?
In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm joined by Chris Reade, entrepreneur and author of Beating Diabetes, to talk about his personal journey with type 2 diabetes and the discoveries that changed the trajectory of his health.
Chris shares how his diagnosis pushed him to dig into the research for himself—and why soluble fiber ultimately became such an important part of his approach. We unpack what soluble fiber actually does, how it can influence post-meal blood sugar and metabolic health, and practical ways to incorporate more of it into your everyday life.
I also share how this conversation connects with the strategies I teach for improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation. If you've been diagnosed with insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes—or you're simply trying to improve your metabolic health—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Episode 298- (REDONE!) How Long Does It Take to Reverse Insulin Resistance? What Can Change in 90 Days
mercredi 23 septembre 2026 • Durée 41:05
How long does it actually take to reverse insulin resistance? Is it 30 days, 90 days, six months—or years?
This episode of Optimal Metabolism was originally recorded as an Instagram LIVE, where I answered this question and talked about what it really takes to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.
There isn't one universal timeline for reversing insulin resistance, but that doesn't mean you have to wait years to start seeing progress. I break down the symptoms that can tell you your metabolism is moving in the right direction, the lab values that can help you objectively measure progress, and why fasting glucose alone doesn't always tell the whole story.
Most importantly, we talk about how much progress you can make in 90 days when you stop jumping from one strategy to another and consistently work on the right things.
WHAT I DISCUSS:
Why there isn't one timeline for reversing insulin resistance
What affects how quickly insulin sensitivity improves
Early signs your metabolic health is improving
Hunger, cravings, energy, weight, and other symptoms to watch
Symptom resolution vs. lab values—how do you actually know you've reversed insulin resistance?
Metabolic markers that can help you track your progress
Why fasting glucose alone doesn't tell the whole story
Why consistency matters more than constantly changing strategies

Episode 297- Is Your Light Environment Wrecking Your Metabolism? How Light Impacts Cortisol, Blood Sugar, Energy & Sleep with Roudy Nassif
mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:18:49
What if one of the biggest missing pieces in your metabolic health has nothing to do with your diet—and everything to do with the light you're exposed to every day?
In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with Roudy Nassif, founder of VivaRays and a leading educator in light, circadian health, and quantum biology. Roudy's passion for light began with his own search for answers after years of struggling with ADHD, depression, mood swings, and chronic exhaustion that no diet, doctor, or supplement seemed to fix.
That journey ultimately led him to discover just how profoundly our exposure to light—and darkness—can influence our biology.
We dive into the connection between your light environment and cortisol, blood sugar, sleep, energy, mood, and metabolic health. We also discuss why getting your nutrition "right" may not be enough if your circadian rhythm is working against you.
If you've been struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, insulin resistance, weight loss resistance, or cortisol issues despite doing all the "right" things, this conversation may help you recognize a missing piece.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:
Roudy's personal journey from ADHD, depression, mood swings, and chronic exhaustion to discovering circadian and light biology
Why light may be one of the most overlooked pieces of metabolic health
Can you eat a great diet and still struggle metabolically because of your light environment?

Episode 294- What We've Gotten Wrong About Cholesterol, Heart Disease, and Metabolic Health with Daniel Trevor
mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 01:04:18
What if we've been focusing on the wrong things when it comes to preventing heart disease?
In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with Daniel Trevor, heart attack survivor, citizen scientist, serial entrepreneur, and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugar & Oils Make Us Fat, Sick & Addicted and How to Escape Their Grip.
Daniel's interest in cardiovascular and metabolic health became deeply personal after suffering a heart attack despite believing he was doing the right things for his health. That experience sent him deep into the research surrounding cholesterol, insulin resistance, blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, nutrition, and cardiovascular disease.
And this conversation challenges a LOT of conventional thinking!
We explore whether cholesterol alone gives us an accurate picture of cardiovascular risk, why metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance deserve much more attention in the heart disease conversation, and which tests Daniel believes can provide a better picture of what's happening before a cardiovascular event occurs.
We also get into statins, vegetable oils, low-fat diets, processed foods, obesity, prediabetes, and why our rates of metabolic disease have risen so dramatically.
You don't have to agree with every perspective presented in this episode to benefit from asking better questions about your health. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to become more informed about your own metabolic health, understand your numbers, and have deeper conversations with your healthcare provider.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:
Daniel's own heart attack and why it completely changed the direction of his life
Why he began questioning conventional thinking surrounding cholesterol and heart disease
Is high cholesterol always an accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk?
The relationship between insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, blood sugar, and heart disease
Why prediabetes and insulin resistance can go undetected for years

Episode 293- From 500 Pounds to a 40-Day Fast: Athena Perez's Incredible Story of Healing
mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 01:27:26
What if obesity isn't simply about food?
In one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on the Optimal Metabolism podcast, I sit down with CrossFit coach, author, educator, and metabolic health advocate Athena Perez to explore the deeper roots of obesity, emotional eating, and lasting transformation.
Athena's story begins long before she reached nearly 500 pounds. She shares how childhood trauma shaped her relationship with food, why lasting healing required far more than losing weight, and how addressing her emotional health became just as important as improving her physical health.
We also take a fascinating deep dive into Athena's experience completing multiple 40-day fasts. She openly discusses why she chose such an extended fast, what happened to her body and mind throughout the process, how she approached refeeding afterward, and whether she believes prolonged fasting helped reset her metabolism.
This episode isn't about promoting extreme fasting. It's about understanding the complex relationship between trauma, metabolism, behavior change, and healing. Whether you've struggled with weight, emotional eating, insulin resistance, or simply want to better understand the human side of obesity, I believe this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
Athena's journey from nearly 500 pounds to becoming a CrossFit coach and educator
The connection between childhood trauma and lifelong struggles with obesity
Why healing emotional wounds was just as important as changing nutrition habits
The decision to complete a 40-day fast
What happened physically, mentally, and emotionally during the fast
Whether prolonged fasting can "reset" metabolism
The often-overlooked importance of the refeeding process
What Athena learned about true hunger versus emotional hunger
Common misconceptions about obesity and larger-bodied athletes
Why sustainable healing goes far beyond the number on the scale
