John and Mark explore the science of weight loss and metabolism. They will review some critical “environmental inputs” that are known to disrupt fat-burning and create insulin and leptin resistance. Insulin and leptin resistance are the cornerstones of obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and is a major metabolic risk for many chronic complex diseases. Insulin drives fat storage. It is impossible to burn fat as a fuel in a sustained fashion when insulin levels are high. Leptin resistance in our brains interferes with satiety. We interpret…”keep eating” and “lay-low” so as to avoid burning precious energy.  These are the exact opposite signaling interpretations one wants to lose weight and sustain the loss.

John and Mark will provide some news to use for actionable lifestyle changes that can better calibrate these systems.

Mark and John discuss the role mitochondria play in health, in quality of life and in disease. They review some nutritional and lifestyle guidelines to diminish mitochondrial disruption and to promote mitochondrial health.

Mark explores some of the common root causes of inflammation, one of the most important contributors to chronic, complex disease e.g. diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, autoimmunity, depression, etc.

He will explore some simple lifestyle considerations for reducing one’s “inflammatory burden” and how to regain a significant edge to one’s health.

John and Mark continue their discussion of the fundamental role changes in our modern diet over the last 2-3 generations have had in driving our epidemic of chronic complex disease e.g. obesity, diabetes, inflammation, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, autoimmunity, etc. They explore in more detail the specific role poor quality carbohydrates are playing in disease and diminished quality of life.

John and Mark continue their discussion of changes in the modern diet over the last two generations that are driving our epidemic of chronic. complex disease. Their focus is on carbohydrates and their role in obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, inflammation and al modern diseases.
