Episode 122 | The Randle Cycle
What if your metabolism isn't broken—but simply following the rules it was designed to obey? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we unpack one of the most overlooked concepts in metabolism: the Randle Cycle, also known as the <...

Episode 121 | Heart Failure Is An Energy Problem
What if heart failure isn't simply a failing pump—but a failing energy system? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore the growing scientific view that heart failure is fundamentally a metabolic disease, where impaired c...

Episode 120 | Metabolic Flexibility
A "perfect" fasting glucose doesn't always mean your metabolism is healthy. In fact, it can hide one of the earliest signs of metabolic dysfunction. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore metabolic flexibility—your body...

Episode 119 | Free Radicals Reframed
Free radicals have earned a reputation as the villains of aging and chronic disease—but the real story is far more fascinating. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we unpack the science of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and expl...

Episode 118 | The Endothelial Glycocalyx
What if the first line of defense against heart disease is something you've probably never heard of? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore the endothelial glycocalyx—a microscopic, gel-like layer that coats the inside ...

Episode 117 | Heart Disease Starts Earlier Than You Think
Heart attacks don’t begin when an artery suddenly becomes blocked. They often begin years or even decades earlier, with damage to one of the most important—and overlooked—organs in the body: the endothelium, the single layer of ce...

Episode 116 | Mitochondria And Chronic Disease
What if seemingly unrelated conditions like insulin resistance, brain fog, fatty liver, chronic fatigue, and heart failure all share the same underlying problem? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore mitochondrial dysfunct...

Episode 115 | Ketones and Lupus
Treating lupus by simply suppressing the immune system can sometimes feel like fighting a complex house fire with a single tool. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore a newer and fascinating concept known as immunometaboli...

Episode 114 | Alzheimer’s As A Brain Energy Crisis
For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been viewed primarily through the lens of amyloid plaques and tau tangles. But what if those hallmark features are only part of the story? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore a gr...

Episode 113 | Personal Fat Threshold
Why do some people develop type 2 diabetes despite being lean, while others carry excess weight and maintain relatively normal blood sugar? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore the Low Personal Fat Threshold Theory, a...

Episode 112 | A Metabolic Perspective on ALS
What if ALS isn't just a disease of dying motor neurons—but also a disease of impaired cellular energy? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore a fascinating metabolic perspective on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) a...

Episode 111 | Crohn’s And The Gut Barrier
A diagnosis of severe Crohn’s disease often comes with a familiar message: manage the condition, suppress inflammation, and prepare for a lifetime of treatment. But what happens when a case report challenges that narrative?In this episod...

Episode 110 | Paleoketogenic Diet
What if some of the foods we consider “healthy” are contributing to gut dysfunction in certain people? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we take a deep dive into the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD)—a highly restrictive thera...

Episode 109 | Hyperinsulinemia: The Disease Before Disease
A normal glucose result can create a false sense of security. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore hyperinsulinemia—chronically elevated insulin—and why it may be the real metabolic warning sign long before prediabete...

Episode 108 | Sleep Debt And Belly Fat
Just a few nights of poor sleep can dramatically change the way your body handles food, stress, and fat storage. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we break down the hidden metabolic consequences of sleep deprivation—and why five hou...

Episode 107 | The Normal Cortisol Paradox
A normal 8 a.m. cortisol test can feel definitive—until your body keeps telling a completely different story. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we unpack the frustrating disconnect between “normal” cortisol labs and symptoms like

Episode 106 | Cancer As A Metabolic Disease
Cancer is usually framed as a story of bad genes and random mutations—but what if the body’s internal metabolic environment plays a much larger role than we’ve been taught? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore the emerging v...
Episode 105 | The Morning Glucose Spike
Your glucose can rise before you eat a single bite—and it’s not a glitch. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we uncover the physiology behind fasting blood sugar and explain why your liver and hormones may be pushing glucose higher w...

Episode 104 | The 3 P.M. Crash
That “perfectly normal” fasting glucose can be one of the most misleading signals in metabolic health. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we unpack why symptoms like shakiness, brain fog, and afternoon crashes often have nothi...
