In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from Stanford University showing that our bodies go through dramatic biological shifts at specific ages, the early 40s, around 60, and possibly even the late 70s. These aren’t surface-level changes like wrinkles or gray hair; they’re shifts in the proteins and pathways that control how our body processes fats, carbohydrates and inflam...
If your cholesterol is creeping up and you’ve been told to avoid eggs or cut the fat, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth most people never hear: in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol is not caused by fat you might eat, it’s a sign of deeper metabolic dysfunction.

You’ll learn what diabetic dyslipidemia really is, how high tr...

Prediabetes isn’t just one thing, yet that’s how it’s usually treated.

In this episode, Dr. Jedha unpacks the shocking new statistics f...
