  • Why Your Skin Isn’t Healing: The Gut, Hormone & Inflammation Connection

    Why Your Skin Isn’t Healing: The Gut, Hormone & Inflammation Connection
    2026/10/07
    Early in my career, I noticed that patients’ skin often improved as we addressed their nutrition and gut health. That changed how I approached skin concerns and taught me to look beneath the surface for contributing factors. Today, I’m joined by triple board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mamina Turegano, co-author of The Holistic Psoriasis Management and Nutrition Guide and an advocate for Timeline’s approach to skin health. Together, we explore what your skin can reveal about your overall health and how that understanding can help you make more informed choices about caring for it. You’ll learn: How damaged mitochondria contribute to skin aging, and how urolithin A may support healthier skin through mitochondrial renewal How your gut health, hormones, and insulin resistance may be contributing to recurring acne and other skin concerns How menopause changes your skin, and what to consider if it becomes drier, thinner, or less resilient How strength training may benefit your skin alongside your muscles Which skincare basics to prioritize before investing in newer treatments and supplements Like most people, I care about how my skin looks, but I also want to understand what helps it stay healthy and resilient. That’s how I approach aging more broadly: learning what my body needs and making those choices part of everyday life.

  • The Supplements, Foods, and Habits I Use to Stop a Cold Before It Starts

    The Supplements, Foods, and Habits I Use to Stop a Cold Before It Starts
    2026/10/05
    Why do some people catch every cold going around while others rarely get sick? Your immune system isn’t something you simply “boost” with one supplement—it’s shaped every day by your sleep, diet, stress, gut health, nutrient status, and metabolic health. In this episode, I’m joined by one of my producers, Emma, to break down what actually helps you build a more resilient immune system before cold and flu season hits. Here’s what we discuss in today’s episode: Why some people get sick constantly while others seem far more resilient What actually weakens your immune system long before symptoms show up What I personally do at the first sign of a cold or flu The most important habits and nutrients for supporting immune function through the winter You don’t need a complicated immune protocol. The goal is to strengthen the systems that help your body respond well when you’re exposed—so you’re less fragile when cold and flu season arrives.

  • Nutrition Expert: This Is Why Eat Less, Exercise More Never Works

    Nutrition Expert: This Is Why Eat Less, Exercise More Never Works
    2026/09/30
    Nutrition advice often reduces food to calories, nutrients, and a list of rules to follow. But the more we learn about how the body responds to different foods, the clearer it becomes that this way of thinking tells only part of the story. Today, I’m joined by cardiologist and public health expert Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, director of the Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University and author of the new book Food Is Medicine. We explore what we still get wrong about food and what changes when we begin treating it more like medicine. Here’s what we discuss: Why eating less and exercising more may not lead to lasting weight loss, and what to focus on instead How to choose foods that work with your appetite, metabolism, and microbiome rather than relying on calorie counting What GLP-1 medications can teach all of us about hunger, cravings, and why weight isn’t simply about willpower How much protein you actually need and why the source matters What the science says about seed oils and which processed foods are worth avoiding Over the years, I’ve learned to focus less on counting calories or chasing a single nutrient and more on the quality of the food itself. When you eat real, whole foods, the signals that regulate hunger and energy can begin to work with you instead of against you. Eating well should be less about following rules and more about understanding what helps your body function at its best.

    The 5 Biggest Longevity Myths—and What to Do Instead
    2026/09/28
    In this episode, I break down five popular longevity myths that may be distracting you from the things that actually have the biggest impact on how long and how well you live. Here’s what I discuss in today’s episode: The common longevity goal that may actually work against you as you get older Why the “perfect” supplement stack can’t replace the habits that matter most The mistake people make when they try to keep their body in constant repair mode What the science really says about red wine, genetics, and the factors that shape how you age Longevity isn’t about building the world’s most complicated routine.

  • Why Willpower Fails: The Psychology of Food, Cravings, and Weight

    Why Willpower Fails: The Psychology of Food, Cravings, and Weight
    2026/09/23
    You can know exactly how you want to eat and still find yourself reaching for something else when you’re stressed or exhausted. I’ve been there. Our relationship with food is influenced by far more than nutrition knowledge, and blaming ourselves for struggling doesn’t help us understand what’s actually happening. Today, I’m joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman, author of When Life Happens, to talk about the biology and psychology behind cravings, emotional eating, and food noise. We also explore how to care about nutrition without letting food rules take over your life. Here’s what we get into: Why you may reach for food when what you really need is rest, comfort, or a break How to pause before an automatic food choice and figure out what’s driving it How rigid food rules can turn one choice into a cycle of guilt and overeating How GLP-1s can quiet food noise, and what they can’t change about your relationship with food How to build other ways to cope when food has become your go-to response to stress I know what it’s like to want the cookie even when I know it isn’t what I really need. Knowing better doesn’t make us immune to being human. My hope is that this conversation helps you meet those moments with more curiosity and less blame, so your relationship with food can become a source of nourishment rather than stress.

  • A Doctor's Honest Guide to The Grocery Store (What's Worth Worrying About)

    A Doctor's Honest Guide to The Grocery Store (What's Worth Worrying About)
    2026/09/21
    Trying to eat healthy has gotten surprisingly complicated. You pick up salmon and wonder about mercury, grab strawberries and think about pesticides, or drink from a plastic bottle and start worrying about microplastics. But not every food-safety risk deserves the same level of concern. In this episode, I break down what actually matters, what’s worth paying extra for, and the simple changes that can reduce your exposure without making you afraid of everything you eat. Here’s what I discuss in today’s episode: Which food-safety risks actually deserve your attention—and which ones may be creating more fear than necessary How to think about organic produce, pesticides, recalls, and foodborne outbreaks without avoiding healthy foods altogether What labels like grass-fed, organic, pasture-raised, wild-caught, and farm-raised really tell you—and what they don’t The hidden exposures that can come from packaged foods, plastics, cookware, and even common mistakes in your own kitchen Food safety isn’t about eliminating every possible risk. It’s about knowing which risks matter, understanding where small changes can make a meaningful difference, and having enough good information to separate a real concern from a scary headline. Resources Mentioned: Check current food recalls and outbreak updates from the FDA and CDC Explore the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen™ to help decide where buying organic may be most worthwhile: https://www.ewg.org Learn more about lower-mercury seafood choices through the FDA and EPA guidance Listen to my conversation with Autumn Smith of Paleovalley for a deeper dive into meat labels, sourcing, and food quality Have a question you’d love answered on Office Hours?

  • The Hidden Cause of Your Chronic Illness (It's Not What You Think) | Dr. Neil Nathan

    The Hidden Cause of Your Chronic Illness (It's Not What You Think) | Dr. Neil Nathan
    2026/09/16
    Chronic illness rarely fits neatly into a single diagnosis. Symptoms can span multiple systems, leaving people profoundly unwell even when standard testing appears normal. I understand this experience from the inside out because I’ve lived it myself. Today, I sit down with Dr. Neil Nathan, a leading expert in complex chronic illness and author of Toxic, now in its second edition. We explore why these conditions are so often misunderstood and how identifying what is driving them can create a path toward recovery. We discuss: Why mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and long COVID can be so difficult to diagnose How to identify the root cause instead of chasing downstream symptoms What the Cell Danger Response is and why the body can remain stuck in survival mode Why some people suddenly become sensitive to foods, chemicals, medications, light, and sound Why the right treatment can make symptoms worse when introduced at the wrong time I’ve been sick enough to know how quickly chronic illness can narrow your world—and how discouraging it is when no one can explain why. But I’m also living proof that the body can recover. The answer is not always more treatment. Often, it begins with finding the root cause, respecting what the body can tolerate, and addressing each layer in the right order.

    5 Foods That Are Making Your Brain Fog Worse
    2026/09/14
    Brain fog isn’t just a normal part of getting older—and it may not be a brain problem at all. If you struggle to focus, lose your train of thought, forget why you walked into a room, or feel mentally exhausted after eating, your body may be trying to tell you something. Here’s what I discuss in today’s episode: The five foods I most commonly see contributing to brain fog—and why some seemingly “healthy” choices may be working against you The surprising connection between your gut and your ability to think, focus, and remember Why certain foods can affect your brain even when you don’t have obvious digestive symptoms Brain fog is a messenger, not the root problem. When you start looking at what’s happening throughout your body—especially your gut, blood sugar, inflammation, and microbiome—you can begin uncovering what’s getting in the way of a clearer, healthier brain.
