Metabolic Health Before Motherhood: Empowering Young Women to Take Control Early with Maddison Sutton

What if the choices you make in your 20s and 30s could determine your fertility, energy, and resilience for decades to come? In this powerful conversation, Certified Integrative Health & Wellness Coach Maddison Sutton shares why early metabolic health is the most overlooked—and most important—investment young women can make.

We unpack the silent health crisis affecting women today, from rising infertility and hormonal imbalances to the toll of corporate burnout, and why “look good” diet culture has left this generation unprepared for long-term wellness. Maddison reveals how pre-conception health is truly preventative medicine, the intergenerational ripple effects of early health choices, and the critical link between stress resilience and reproductive health.

You’ll also discover a fresh approach to self-care that goes beyond bubble baths—one that includes creative expression, nervous system regulation, and joy as metabolic healing tools.

Whether you’re years away from motherhood, actively preparing for pregnancy, or simply want to feel your most vibrant, this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and inspiration to start now—before symptoms arise—so you can thrive for a lifetime.

What if the way you feel — emotionally and physically — is directly shaped by what’s on your plate and the story you believe about yourself?

In this transformative conversation, Integrative Psychotherapist Natalie West reveals how early self-image programming, the gut–brain connection, and a species-appropriate diet work together to reset your mind, body, and emotional health.

We cover:

• Why “Food is a Feeling Filter”
• How self-image is programmed before age 7 — and how to change it
• The gut as your “second brain”
• The truth about carbs, ketosis, and essential nutrients
• Why eating well is one of the purest acts of self-love

🎙️ Episode 89: Dr. Thomas Seyfried — Cancer is a Metabolic Disease: How Nutrition Empowers Prevention and Treatment

In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. John Barnes welcomes legendary researcher and author Dr. Thomas Seyfried to challenge everything you thought you knew about cancer. Rather than viewing cancer as a genetic destiny, Dr. Seyfried presents compelling evidence that it is, at its core, a metabolic disease—and that gives us the power to fight back.

Together, they explore how modern lifestyles and processed nutrition disrupt our evolutionary biology, contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction and the onset of chronic disease—including cancer. More importantly, they reveal how targeted dietary strategies like ketogenic therapy, fasting, and carbohydrate restriction can support healthy cells, starve cancer cells, and restore the body’s natural resilience.

Highlights include:
✅ The Warburg effect and why damaged mitochondria—not mutated genes—may be the true root of cancer
✅ How nutrition can be used not just to prevent, but to treat cancer alongside other therapies
✅ The critical role of glucose and glutamine in tumor growth—and how to cut off the fuel supply
✅ Empowering patients and practitioners to take action through metabolic health strategies

This conversation is a masterclass in metabolic medicine and a beacon of hope for anyone touched by cancer. Whether you're a patient, provider, or simply health-curious, this episode will equip you with science-backed tools to make Life Possible—even in the face of cancer.
