  • Thyroid vs Metabolism: The Hidden Reason You Can't Lose Weight Even If Your Lab Tests Are Normal

    Thyroid vs Metabolism: The Hidden Reason You Can't Lose Weight Even If Your Lab Tests Are Normal
    Oct 20 2026
    Your thyroid gets blamed for a lot of stubborn weight gain, and sometimes that blame is fair. But very often someone is sent away with a normal blood test and told their thyroid is fine, with no explanation for how they actually feel. In this episode I go through what your thyroid actually does, what changes when it runs slow or fast, what a normal result on your test really means, and what tends to be going on when your results are fine but the weight still will not shift. A normal thyroid test is good news on its own, but it is only one piece of the picture. When it comes back clear, that should be the start of a proper conversation about what else might explain your symptoms, not the end of one. I also talk through why a properly underactive thyroid usually explains a few kilos rather than several stone, and why so much of what people assume is fat is actually fluid building up under the skin. For a lot of people, the bigger drivers sit elsewhere, in food quality, movement, sleep and stress, and none of that is said to make anyone feel guilty.

  • Visceral Fat: The 5 Things That Actually Work vs. The Ones That Don't

    Visceral Fat: The 5 Things That Actually Work vs. The Ones That Don't
    Oct 20 2026
    You can be a completely normal weight and still be carrying the type of fat that does the most damage over time. Visceral fat sits deep around your liver and intestines rather than just under your skin, and it behaves very differently because of where it drains in your body. In this episode I go through five things with proper evidence behind them for shifting visceral fat. Losing body fat overall, aerobic exercise that gets you out of breath, the quality of the food you eat, getting enough regular sleep, and cutting back on alcohol and chronic stress. I also cover three things that get sold constantly but do very little. Ab exercises like crunches, fat burning supplements, and anything that makes you sweat around your middle like waist trainers or sauna belts. A simple way to check where you stand is a tape measure. Measure around the widest point of your waist and aim for a number that is under half your height. The full list of research references for this episode is in the description of the YouTube version.

  • 6 Ways to Boost Nitric Oxide to Lower Inflammation and Live Longer

    6 Ways to Boost Nitric Oxide to Lower Inflammation and Live Longer
    Oct 19 2026
    Your body makes a gas called nitric oxide inside the lining of your blood vessels every single day, and it only survives for about a second before it disappears. It is so powerful that a synthetic version of it is used in emergency medicine during a heart attack. Nitric oxide tells the muscle in your artery walls to relax, which drops your blood pressure. But it also keeps the inner surface of your arteries smooth, so cholesterol and immune cells cannot stick and start building the plaques that lead to heart attacks and strokes. In this episode I go through six ways to raise your nitric oxide, including what you eat, a habit that might be sitting in your bathroom cabinet right now, how movement changes things even when you are not exercising, what your nose and sunlight have to do with it, and the one factor that matters more than any of the others, which is not making more nitric oxide but destroying less of it. The full list of research references is in the description of the YouTube version.
