• The Insulin Connection: Rethinking Female Health Beyond "Just Hormones - Dr. Andrea Salcedo DO

  In this groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function. Dr. Salcedo explains how traditional gynecological approaches often miss the metabolic root causes of women's health issues, leading to band-aid solutions rather than addressing the underlying insulin resistance.With her unique background as both an academic researcher and metabolic health advocate, Dr. Salcedo provides practical insights into how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve gynecological health without relying solely on medications or surgery. The conversation shatters common misconceptions about female health problems and offers a new framework for understanding women's bodies beyond the "just hormones" explanation.Whether you're struggling with reproductive health issues, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to understand the intricacies of female health, this conversation offers vital information that most medical professionals aren't discussing. Listen now to discover why one in three women lose their uterus by age 60 – and what can be done to prevent it.BIG IDEAGynecologic diseases like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids aren't just "female hormone problems" – they're manifestations of metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance that affect the entire body.Andrea Salcedo, DO - Contact InfoWebsite: https://www.consciousgynecology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consciousgynecologist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@consciousgynecologistX: https://x.com/consciousgyneSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

• Sugar Addiction Recovery: Why It's Harder Than Quitting Alcohol - Mike Collins

  Sugar addiction is a legitimate biochemical addiction that affects about one-third of the population, is often rooted in childhood emotional self-soothing behaviors, and can be more challenging to overcome than alcohol or drug addiction because it's socially acceptable and starts at a very young age.KISMETWhen individuals successfully overcome sugar addiction, their most valued improvement isn't weight loss but rather enhanced cognitive function - including better focus, improved memory, and reduced anxiety - as their "brain comes back online" after healing from the neurological impacts of chronic sugar consumption.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Mike Collins, known as "The Sugar Free Man," about the reality of sugar addiction and its impacts on metabolic and mental health. Collins explains how sugar addiction often begins in childhood as a form of emotional self-soothing that becomes wired into the brain's reward system. He reveals that about one-third of people are biochemically addicted to sugar, setting up cravings they cannot control through willpower alone. Collins shares that many recovering alcoholics and drug addicts report quitting sugar is actually harder than overcoming their primary addiction. The podcast explores the physical and psychological aspects of sugar addiction, including how abstinence for 90 days can allow the brain to heal and create new neural pathways. Collins also discusses how artificial sweeteners keep sugar cravings alive by maintaining the sweet taste sensation. The conversation highlights how sugar addiction recovery involves addressing emotional triggers and finding healthier self-soothing mechanisms beyond just changing eating habits.NOTABLE QUOTE"Sugar gets no respect as an addictive substance. And, you know, it's not, I'm not doing heroin. I'm not drinking. I'm like, I know, I get it. But they just don't understand the biochemistry, they don't think is the same because it's not as buzzy.

• Beyond Carbs: Understanding the Root Causes of Metabolic Dysfunction with Dr. Paul Saladino

  The primary cause of metabolic dysfunction is not carbohydrates themselves but rather the combination of processed "naked" sugars and high linoleic acid seed oils that damage mitochondrial function at a cellular level.KISMETWhile most people focus on limiting carbohydrates to improve metabolic health, the research actually shows that fruit juice and honey can improve insulin sensitivity in some diabetics due to their complex chemical structures that positively influence gut bacteria – completely contradicting conventional wisdom about sugar.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Paul Saladino shares his evidence-based perspective on the true causes of metabolic dysfunction. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates themselves don't cause insulin resistance. Instead, the primary culprits are processed "naked" sugars that disrupt gut bacteria and seed oils high in linoleic acid that damage mitochondrial membranes. These damaged membranes lead to energy production inefficiency at the cellular level, which manifests as various metabolic disorders. Dr. Saladino explains how the standard American diet contains 5-10 times more linoleic acid than our ancestors consumed, primarily from seed oils in processed foods. He argues that returning to single-ingredient foods and specifically reducing linoleic acid intake could rapidly improve metabolic health. The discussion challenges conventional medical wisdom about cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and the treatment of metabolic disorders.NOTABLE QUOTE"I want people to know that I was not taught in medical school the diet was this powerful. And that's probably the most important thing that I can do with my career is just tell people like what you eat and the quality of the foods you eat is everything.

• When Scientific Consensus Fails: Gary Taubes on Challenging Nutritional Dogma

  In this landmark 200th episode of "Stay Off My Operating Table," Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald sit down with investigative journalist Gary Taubes, whose work fundamentally changed Dr. Ovadia's approach to medicine and personal health. Taubes recounts his journey from physics journalism to nutrition science, where he discovered a field plagued by confirmation bias and reluctance to challenge established beliefs. He explains the profound difference between observational studies that merely suggest correlations and clinical trials that can prove causation, highlighting how the conventional wisdom on nutrition persists despite mounting contradictory evidence. The conversation explores why nutritional science has remained resistant to correction for decades while fields like physics quickly abandon disproven theories. Taubes discusses the compelling evidence supporting low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets and questions why the medical establishment continues to recommend diets rich in whole grains when many thrive without them. This thought-provoking discussion challenges listeners to distinguish between "diet by hypothesis" and "diet by experience" while examining the profound impact nutritional policy has had on public health.BIG IDEAThe conventional nutrition advice we've received for decades is based on observational studies showing what healthy people eat rather than experimental evidence showing which diets actually make people healthier when tested.Gary Taubes Contact InfoWebsite: https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/Website: https://garytaubes.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

• The Toxic Mold Link to Autoimmune Disease and Heart Problems with Dr. Andrew Campbell

  Mycotoxins (mold toxins) are frequently overlooked causes of numerous chronic health conditions including autoimmune disorders, neurological diseases, and heart problems, and proper testing and treatment can lead to remarkable recovery for patients who have suffered for years with no answers.KISMETThe World Health Organization refers to mycotoxins as "the great masquerader of this century" because they mimic so many other diseases, leading doctors to frequently misdiagnose patients and treat symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.EPISODE SUMMARYIn this episode, Dr. Philip Ovadia interviews Dr. Andrew Campbell, a physician with extensive experience treating medical consequences of mold and environmental toxins. Dr. Campbell explains how mycotoxins (mold toxins) are frequently overlooked causes of numerous chronic health conditions. These microscopic toxins can enter the bloodstream through the lungs, cross the blood-brain barrier, and cause widespread inflammation and cell death. Mycotoxins have been linked to autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions like MS and Alzheimer's, heart rhythm problems, chronic fatigue, and even certain cancers. The main idea is that many patients suffering with chronic conditions may actually be dealing with mold toxicity. Dr. Campbell outlines his four-step approach to treatment: removing the source of mold, using antifungal medication, taking specific supplements, and following an anti-inflammatory diet. Dramatic before-and-after photos demonstrate remarkable patient recoveries from conditions like psoriasis and skin cancer after proper mycotoxin treatment.NOTABLE QUOTE"Identify the cause.
