Robert Lustig

New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Robert Lustig, is sounding the alarm on the problems caused by processed foods and sugar. His new book, Metabolical, takes a deep dive into what’s fueling the continual increase of lifestyle diseases. By now, you know these diseases by heart… type 2 diabetes, hypertension, lipid problems, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, and the list goes on.   One of Robert's defining messages is that these lifestyle diseases aren’t druggable, but they are foodable. You're about to find out what that means in today's episode. Food is the only lever you have to affect biochemical change to improve your health. As Dr. Lustig says, "If we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet."  Here are some highlights from the show...   "My job is to kill the calorie, I want it gone as a unit of measure because it is absolutely completely useless. It’s only gotten us into more and more trouble."   "All food is inherently good; it’s what’s been done to the food that can make it bad. All of your cells either respond positively or negatively to the specific components of your food."    "Essentially, all you need to know are two precepts, six words total: protect the liver, feed the gut."    "Everybody kept saying, 'eat less, exercise more, eat less, exercise more.' Guess what? We ate less, we exercised more, and we only gained more weight."   Buckle up!    For more podcasts, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.

Naeemah Ruffin

When we think of the names of women who have seemingly defied the aging process, who comes to mind? Helen Mirren, Cate Blanchett, and Judy Dench. These are just a few women who have  decided to celebrate their natural beauty. We admire them for their confidence, talents, and sense of style. But in a culture that’s obsessed with youth, it can be difficult to embrace the aging process and be proud of the skin you’re in.   Today’s guest is Dr. Naeemah Ruffin, also known as “the face fitness doctor.”   Naeemah is is an Assistant Clinical Professor at Mt. Sinai Hospital and the CEO and founder of Bellantz, which specializes in personalized face fitness with expansive range of exercises tailored to tone the facial muscles to create a more youthful and symmetrical facial appearance. She also has Clinical Skincare line that’s formulated with plant-based natural and organic ingredients to repair, restore, and revitalize the skin.   In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about specific facial exercises to lift and tighten certain areas of your face that have decreased muscle tone over time. There is evidence-based research that supports facial exercise as a natural facial rejuvenation in addition to correcting facial symmetry, especially in those with Bell’s Palsy.   We’ll also talk about facial expressions that are working for and against you. And of course, we can’t talk about the face without chatting about skin care.    For more podcasts, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.

Pete McCall

We’re in the third decade of the 21st century, if you’re currently in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond, then you’ve been a part of the modern fitness industry. To those of you who have been exercising most of your adult lives, congratulations: You are in the first generation of active adults who have had access to gyms and exercise throughout their life span.    The original intent of exercise was to sculpt attractive bodies of lean, well-defined muscle. Now, scientists have had the opportunity to study how exercise affects the aging process. What we are learning is that exercise, especially high-intensity exercise, just may be the key to aging awesomely.    Today’s guest, Pete McCall, is author of Ageless Intensity: High intensity workouts to slow the aging process. The book includes four aspects of fitness that will help turn back the clock. As Pete highlights in his book, focusing on exercise  intensity may be the key to reducing the biological effects of time.    I’m excited about this conversation with Pete, because he always provides straight-forward, science-backed information. But more importantly, he gives you useful tricks and tools to control aging and keep you feeling young.

Sara Gottfried

Today, we’re welcoming back Dr. Sara Gottfried. In past episodes, we’ve talked about how hormones impact every system of your body. In today’s episode, we’ll take it one step further. Because as she points out in her new book, “Women, Food and Hormones”  food is the backbone of the hormones you make. When it comes to your health and metabolism, food is medicine.     In her newest book, Dr. Gottfried presents a groundbreaking new plan that helps women balance their hormones so they can lose excess weight and feel better. And, she lays the groundwork for how to get your body to flip the switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat.    Dr. Gottfried is a multiple New York Times bestselling author, and Harvard-educated women’s health expert. Over the past two decades, Sara has seen more than 25,000 patients, and specializes in identifying the root causes underlying her patients’ conditions to achieve true and lasting health transformations, not just symptom management.

David Perlmutter

If you’ve tried everything to gain control of your health and manage your weight but still feel like you can’t reach your goals, I think you’ll appreciate today’s conversation about Uric Acid.    The scientific literature is bursting with evidence that chronic elevated uric acid lies at the root of many pervasive health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease. But it’s not something that’s being discussed in  mainstream medicine and media…. Until now.     Today’s guest, David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.    His groundbreaking book, Grain Brain, showed that the fate of your brain is not in your genes. It's in the food you eat. By the way, that book made it to the top… #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.    David’s new book, Drop Acid, alerts us to the dangers of elevated uric acid, and how it’s a Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health.

On today’s show, we’re focusing on time-restricted eating. It’s a nutritional approach that’s not about what you eat, but when you eat.    So what is time-restricted eating? It means a person eats all their meals and snacks within a particular window of time each day. Outside that window, a person consumes no calories. It’s a type of intermittent fasting that has become popular in the recent years. And by the way, intermittent fasting refers to any eating plan that alternates between periods restricting caries and then eating normally.    By the way, intermittent fasting is a way to boost weight loss, lengthen lifespan, reduce insulin resistance, improve heart health and have positive effects on your immunity.    I get a lot of questions on time-restricted eating. Is it effective, is it safe, what’s the best approach for women, and do the benefits vary based on your age?    That’s why I’m delighted to have Dr. Felice Gersh on the show today. I had the privilege of meeting Felice at the  A4M Conference in Las Vegas. She has a brilliant mind, is an incredible speaker, is passionate about holistic women’s healthcare, and she’s a leader in this discussion of intermittent fasting.    She’s an award-winning physician, a board-certified gynecologist, and obstetrician, also trained in integrative medicine. She received her undergraduate degree from Princeton, and her medical degree from USC School of Medicine.    For more podcasts, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast/.

Dr. Zach Bush, M.D. | Is Your Gut Working Against You?

Belly fat is a topic that so many people are concerned about - mainly for cosmetic reasons. However, we know that having extra weight — especially around the belly — can be risky. It’s one of the main indicators that the body is shifting out of balance, and veering into some unhealthy territory.    Now, here’s the rub: belly fat cells contain four times more cortisol receptors compared with other cells. In other words, every time you raise cortisol levels, you just feed that muffin top and start to create a barrier that stops you from burning fat. So, if you’ve been asking yourself why it’s so freaking hard to manage belly fat, then you’re going to want to hear today’s guest: Dr. Sara Gottfried.   Dr. Sara Gottfried is a New York Times bestselling author. In her newest book,  Younger, she created a protocol that can help you gain more control over the way you age than you ever thought possible. It’s a simple matter of turning the good genes on, and the bad genes off.     For more, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.

The Truth About Belly Fat | Dr. Sara Gottfried

About 20 years ago, I started writing about the 3 F’s of fitness: formal, fun, and functional.  Formal is going to the gym or to a class. Fun is what it sounds like: running on the beach or doing a favorite activity, whether it’s going on a hike or swimming at the pool. And functional is fitting fitness into your everyday life. When it comes to functional fitness, it’s all about the little itty bitty things you can do each day. I know, you’ve heard it hundreds of times - park further away from the store, catch up with your friends on a walk instead of sitting and chatting on the phone, and of course, take the stairs instead of the escalator! So finding ways to move more throughout the day is the message and the mission of our next guest, Katy Bowman. She runs www.nutritiousmovement.com. You’re going to want to listen up because Katy has created a new movement vocabulary that is unique and original. For complete show notes, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.

Dr Oz l Most Under-appreciated Problem in America

Cindy Eckert

I know this is a bold question… but what if I asked you if you were satisfied with your sex life? You might think, “That’s a little  too personal to be talking about.”   Today’s guest, Cindy Eckert,  is at the forefront of a movement to de-stigmatize this discussion, of sexual vitality, specifically as it relates to low libido.  Cindy is the creator of Addyi, a little pink pill to treat women with low or no  sexual desire. It has been labeled by the media as the female viagra.   She fought an uphill battle to get ADDYI approved by the FDA, and sold her company for 1 billion dollars.  Through that experience, she got a first-hand lesson of what it meant for women to advocate for each other…. for better health outcomes, for better research for women, and for better business opportunities for women.   Cindy is on  a mission to put women on top.  And that’s what prompted her to launch The Pink Ceiling in 2016… It was her way of helping female-focused businesses with capital as well a s mentorship.   You can’t miss Cindy when she walks into the room. She’s unapologetically pink... from her clothes to her accessories.   I’m excited about today’s show. Cindy is such a powerhouse when it comes to getting the attention and funding for women’s health issues… something that is desperately needed in this country!  For more, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.

Satisfied With Your Sex Life? | Cindy Eckert

Aging comes subtly. Sometimes, the changes might feel like joint stiffness in your hip or shoulder, or sometimes the signs are stooping posture, increasing belly fat and loss of muscle mass... those changes are easy to see and feel. Yet other changes are completely hidden. I hear over and over again from my friends and listeners that after their annual bone-density scan, they’ve been diagnosed with thinning bones. It’s expected that by 2020, half of all American men and women over the age of 50 will have, or will be at risk of developing osteoporosis of the hip... and even more will be at risk of developing it elsewhere. What if I told you that you can increase your bone density and actually reverse bone loss with a technique that requires only 10 minutes a week. Are you listening now? It seems unbelievable! Make sure you listen to this show all the way to the end, because today’s guest Dr. John Jaquish has developed a device that’s placed in over 300 clinics worldwide. These clinics, called Osteostrong, focus on osteogenic loading (which basically means putting strain on the bone that applies enough impact or pressure to stimulate new bone growth). It has now helped over 30,000 individuals with their bone health. We have a lot to cover and we're lucky to have Dr. Jaquish here to help us. He is an inventor, author, and scientist, and stumbled upon his life’s mission to promote bone health after his mother was diagnosed with osteoporosis. He is currently advancing osteogenic loading research and speaking worldwide, as well as developing other biotechnology devices and products that will aid in the advanced health and wellbeing of people all around the world.

Osteoporosis in Women: Bone Strengthening Guidelines | Dr. John Jaquish

Bob Goldman

Have you noticed that, as we age, things can take on a different look? I’m not just talking about wrinkles, hair color, and hormones but also energy levels, sleep patterns, joint issues, balance, vision, muscle or memory loss...things we traditionally associate with getting older. You are possibly dealing with one or more of these issues or have witnessed your parents, partner or close friends coping with some aspects of getting older. Part of the Art of Aging includes asking the question: are these issues inevitable as we age?   My guest today offers the viewpoint that medical issues associated with aging are not a given; they don’t need to be inevitable. Dr. Bob Goldman is a good friend whom I’ve admired from afar for decades; he’s a great spirit with a great heart. Bob is a leader and global force in health and sports medicine—specifically as they relate to aging--and truly a remarkable human being. In addition to extraordinary achievements in physical strength--earning him at least twenty world records--Dr. Bob began in the early 1990’s dedicating his medical efforts and research toward what is now commonly referred to as “anti-aging” medicine…the focus of our show today.   For complete show notes, visit www.kathsmith.com/podcast.

Today, we're talking about vitamins. It might have started with chewable Flintstones that your mom gave you as a kid, then in college it was vitamin infused water, and now there is an edgier and somewhat controversial method called vitamin vaping. Although the delivery systems might have changed through the years, this idea of supplementing your diet with vitamins has been something that’s been part of our lifestyle since the time we were little ones. So the question is: Do we even need to take vitamins? We know that taking vitamins and minerals is never going to justify less-than-healthy eating habits. But, there’s growing evidence that the right supplements can improve your health and vitality, including maintaining bone density and muscle mass, improving brain function and mental clarity, balancing hormones and rejuvenating skin, hair and nails. One trip down the vitamin aisle and you’re bombarded with hundreds of options, and some with outrageous claims. That can cause decision fatigue and opting out of adding any of the supplements to your cart. So, if your head starts to spin when you start to talk about vitamins, welcome to the club! But that’s all about to change because today’s guest Shawn Wells is here to clarify the confusion and simplify a conversation that can tend to be very complicated. Shawn has a divergent background. He is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes. All of this experience combined with his extensive background in formulating supplements for big companies converge to make him the world’s greatest formulator.
