Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS

Send us Fan MailEPISODE #90 IS LIVE!“I AM A DR LIVING WITH CANCER”90 episodes.Thousands of conversations.Listeners across the globe.And somehow, the conversations keep getting more interesting… and more important.I’m incredibly excited to launch Episode #90 of the award-nominated podcast, Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS, featuring the remarkable Dr Jennifer Ron, MD.And this is a must-listen episode.Why?Because Jennifer isn’t just a medical practitioner talking about cancer.She is a physician living with cancer.She brings something incredibly powerful to the conversation:👉 25+ years of experience as an emergency medicine physician👉 Board certification in emergency and integrative medicine👉 Specialist training in integrative cancer care👉 Certification as an Integrative Metabolic Practitioner👉 And, most importantly, real lived experience as a cancer thriverJennifer’s journey has challenged her to retrain her own medical knowledge.To question.To learn.To listen.To recognise that perhaps there isn't always a quick fix, a single protocol or a one-size-fits-all answer.And that every person living with cancer has their own pathway, their own biology and their own journey.Her approach at MedLogic Integrative Cancer Care brings together conventional oncology with precision oncology, metabolic and immune strategies, lifestyle interventions and carefully considered adjunctive therapies — with the patient at the centre.But perhaps the most powerful message from our conversation isn't about a particular treatment.It is about taking the time to understand the person behind the diagnosis.Cancer isn't simply a disease to be treated.It is a human being navigating an incredibly complex journey.And what happens when we move from:“What is the protocol?”to“What does THIS person need?”That shift matters.As someone who has been living beyond a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis myself, conversations like this are deeply personal.They reinforce why I started this podcast in the first place.To ask better questions.To challenge assumptions.To bring different perspectives together.And ultimately…to put the human being back at the centre of healthcare.💡 No BS.💡 No quick fixes.💡 No pretending there is one answer.Just curiosity, education, lived experience and a willingness to keep learning.🎧 Episode #90 – “I Am A Dr Living With Cancer”If you are living with cancer, supporting someone who is, working in healthcare, or simply interested in a more integrated approach to health and wellbeing…this one is for you.Listen.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #88 is LIVE | Healthcare Starts with Better Conversations Medicine is built on the noble intention of helping people heal.So why are so many patients leaving consultations feeling unheard, unsupported and simply handed another prescription?This week on Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS, I had the privilege of sitting down with the wonderful Dr Liz Fraser from Canberra, Australia—a recently retired GP who spent decades working within the medical system while courageously questioning many of its assumptions.This isn't a conversation about blaming doctors.It's a conversation about understanding the pressures they face.🎙️ Together we explore: ✅ The emotional toll of being a junior doctor. ✅ The culture of medical training and why Dr Fraser jokingly refers to the MBBS as the "Mind Boggling BS" qualification. ✅ Why 15-minute GP consultations often make genuine preventative healthcare almost impossible. ✅ The burnout, pressures and emotional burden carried by healthcare professionals. ✅ Why doctors need emotional support just as much as their patients. ✅ The growing evidence around nutrition and metabolic health that many clinicians acknowledge privately but feel unable to discuss publicly. ✅ How fear of "rocking the boat" can prevent meaningful change.One message stood out above all else...Healthcare isn't just about prescriptions. It's about relationships, curiosity, humility and having the courage to keep asking better questions.The evidence supporting real food, metabolic health and lifestyle medicine continues to grow.Yet changing decades of entrenched thinking takes courage.For clinicians.For patients.For all of us.As Liz reminds us, listening may be one of the most powerful interventions in medicine.And perhaps the most important takeaway?👉 Your health is ultimately your responsibility.No guideline, medication or healthcare professional can care more about your wellbeing than you do.The time to start isn't tomorrow.It starts today.🎧 Episode #88 of Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS is now available on all major podcast platforms.If this conversation resonates with you, please like, share and leave a review.

Send us Fan Mail Episode #82 is LIVE — Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BSThis one hits differently.In a powerful and deeply honest conversation with Chetan Trivedi, we unpack what real change looks like — not the filtered, quick-fix version… but the disciplined, uncomfortable, life-changing kind.It all started with a single photograph.A moment that forced a hard truth:“I barely recognised the person staring back at me.”Tired. Unhealthy. Older than expected.Prediabetic. Six tablets a day.And then came the decision:“Enough. The change starts today… not tomorrow.”🚨 Here’s the reality we explore in this episode:There are no shortcuts to metabolic health.No miracle injections. No overnight transformations.But there is something far more powerful:➡️ Your body’s ability to respond when you finally give it the right inputs.💥 In this episode, we dive into:• Why sleep is the #1 foundation of wellbeing (and why most people ignore it)• The power of protein in reshaping body composition and metabolism• The hidden cost of long hours, workplace environments, and daily temptations• What happens when your body changes… and suddenly your wardrobe doesn’t fit (in the best way possible — without medication)• The ripple effect of change on family, identity, and leadership at home• Why being a “work in progress” is the most powerful example you can set⚡ The results?In just 11 months:• 13kg lost• Blood markers back to healthy ranges• Metabolic age reduced by 10 years• ZERO medicationsNo hacks. No shortcuts.Just consistency, discipline, and ownership.🔑 The six habits that changed everything:Sleep. Protein. Hydration. Strength. Walking. Self-prioritisation.Simple? Yes.Easy? Not even close.But worth it? Absolutely.👊 If you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond… this episode is your reminder:It is NOT too late.Your body is more capable than you think.🎧 Listen now and ask yourself the only question that matters:Are you giving your health a real chance… or still waiting for the “right time”?Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #81 of Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS is one that really stays with you.In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Martina Meyer zu Selhausen—a former corporate banker whose life took a profound turn after facing autoimmune neuro-degeneration.Raised in Germany and building a successful career in the UK’s corporate banking world, Martina’s story initially follows a familiar path of ambition and achievement. But beneath that trajectory came a pivotal realisation: What are we truly investing in—and at what cost to our health?That question sparked a complete shift.From finance to functional health, Martina pursued an MSc in Functional Medicine and Personalised Nutrition (CNELM), driven not just by curiosity—but by necessity. Her recovery journey led her deep into the science of brain health, including advanced research into lithium and its relationship with Alzheimer’s disease.Today, she channels that knowledge into her work through Viatitude Health, where she is developing innovative, data-driven tools to support brain health—particularly for women navigating peri- and post-menopause, and in the age group 35 plusWhat makes this episode so compelling isn’t just Martina’s expertise—it’s the questions it raises for all of us: What daily risks are we taking with our health, often unknowingly?  Are we prioritising the right “investments” in our lives?  And how much control do we actually have over our long-term brain health? Martina’s message is both sobering and empowering: The risk of Alzheimer’s disease can be significantly reduced through the choices we make every single day.This episode is insightful, thought-provoking, and deeply human.If you care about your health—or the health of those around you—this is a conversation worth your time.🎧 Listen now to Episode #81 of Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS on your favourite podcast platform.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

With a scientific background as an audiologist and a strong family history of the condition, she followed conventional medical and dietary guidance for many years in pursuit of stable blood glucose control.Seven years ago she discovered the work of Richard K. Bernstein and his “Law of Small Numbers” approach. By focusing on nutritional changes and smaller carbohydrate loads, Jane has since achieved blood glucose levels in the non-diabetic range while using around half the insulin she previously required.In this conversation we explore: • What Type 1 diabetes actually is • Why nutrition plays a critical role in blood glucose control • The many factors that impact insulin levels • Why greater awareness and patient-centred care may be needed in diabetes managementJane’s story is a powerful reminder that lived experience, evidence, and informed choice all have an important role in improving metabolic wellbeing.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

Send us Fan MailNew Episode: Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS – Episode 78What if the conversation about mental health has been missing a crucial piece?In Episode 78 of Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS, I’m joined by Dr Tracey Evans in part 2, or a fascinating discussion that reframes how we think about brain health across the entire lifespan.One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is simple but often overlooked:Brain health and mental health cannot be separated — yet they are often discussed individually.In this episode we explore the idea of neuro-lifespan — the understanding that the foundations of brain health begin far earlier than most people realise. In fact, they begin in utero, influenced by maternal health, the environment, and even the metabolic health of sperm before conception.From there, the discussion widens into the realities of modern life and the pressures placed on our brains today.We explore: 🧠 How the structure and function of the brain shape emotional and cognitive wellbeing ⚡ The fuel your brain actually needs to perform and regulate itself 🌍 The modern environmental pressures challenging brain health daily 🔄 Why reconnection and nervous system regulation are essential for long-term resilience 📉 How chronic stress gradually reshapes our biology when recovery is absent 🎯 Why personal accountability and self-agency matter when it comes to brain wellbeingTracey shares insights from her NeuroBalance Triad framework, developed after recognising how many high-performing individuals operate in cycles of intense output followed by burnout.As she explains, the nervous system adapts to chronic stress when our load capacity is exceeded and recovery never truly happens. While this adaptation is natural, the biological and psychological consequences of long-term stress can be profound.This episode is not about quick fixes or wellness trends.It’s about understanding the architecture of the brain, the demands of modern life, and how we can reclaim agency over our cognitive and emotional health.Because the real question is this:Are we truly living… or simply surviving in a permanently activated nervous system?🎧 Episode 78 is now live.If you’re interested in brain health, metabolic health, nervous system regulation, and the future of human performance, this is one conversation worth listening to.👉 Listen now and join the conversation.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

Send us Fan MailIf Alzheimer’s Is Type 3 Diabetes, Why Are We Ignoring Insulin?Episode 77 of Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS is not just another conversation.It’s a wake-up call.This week, I’m joined by Dr Sarah Stephens, an Australian medical doctor with a PhD in mitochondrial biochemistry, and over 15 years of clinical experience challenging how we think about cognitive decline.We explore a question that should concern every leader, parent, policymaker, and professional:What if Alzheimer’s is not simply “bad luck” — but a metabolic condition?Often described as “type 3 diabetes of the brain,” Alzheimer’s reframes the narrative. Instead of inevitability, we discuss preventability. Instead of decline, possibility.Sarah now dedicates her work to helping people take proactive steps to support brain health — with the aim of preventing and even reversing early Alzheimer’s disease. Her approach incorporates the Bredesen Protocol — the only treatment shown in published clinical trials to improve outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease.Let that sink in.This is not about managing symptoms. This is about addressing root causes — mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, environmental load, sleep, and nutrient deficiencies.In leadership, we speak often about legacy. But what is legacy without cognition? What is success without memory? What is performance without metabolic resilience?The uncomfortable truth is this: The same metabolic dysfunction driving corporate burnout, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease is also impairing our brains.And yet — we rarely connect the dots.In this episode, Sarah shares:Why mitochondrial health is central to cognitive performanceThe early warning signs most clinicians missPractical, preventative strategies anyone can begin implementingWhy medical school focus on avoiding death not preventionWhy motivated individuals can meaningfully influence their cognitive trajectoryHer work is grounded in science but powered by agency.Outside of medicine, she finds balance at the beach, crocheting, and competing in track cycling, a mum, partner, and a reminder that vibrant health is multidimensional.If we are serious about leadership in business, in healthcare, in family we must move from reactive medicine to preventative strategy.Brain health is not a future problem.It is today’s responsibility.🎙️ Listen to Episode 77 of Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS on your favourite audio platform.If this conversation resonates:Please like the episode, your feedback is welcomed and valuedSubscribe to the podcast, your help can make this community grow and educate more peopleShare it with someone who values cognitive longevityYour support makes it possible to continue delivering conversations on metabolic wellbeing without the noise, without the dogma, and without the BS.Because clarity is leadership. And metabolic health is foundational. Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #76 | Metabolic Wellbeing without the BSThis week, I’m joined by Dr Tracey Evans, and this is a conversation that cuts through a lot of the noise around mental health.🧠 Brain health and mental health are not separate. Yet we talk about them as if they are.Tracey works at the intersection of neuroscience, stress physiology, and lived experience—helping people optimise the structural and functional health of their brain alongside emotional and mental wellbeing. The result? People who move beyond survival mode and start truly engaging with life again—personally and professionally.After reaching her own crisis point following cycles of high performance and burnout, Tracey recognised a pattern many of us know too well: 👉 coping 👉 pushing 👉 functioning …but not really living.From this, she developed the NeuroBalance Triad™—a practical framework that translates complex neuroscience into something actionable, restoring self-agency and encouraging early intervention before the stress response system takes over.We unpack why chronic stress isn’t a personal failure. The nervous system adapts when load exceeds capacity and recovery is missing. That adaptation is natural—but left unchecked, it has real biological and psychological consequences.If you want more agency over your brain and mental health—and fewer platitudes—this episode is for you.🎧 Listen now 📌 Follow Dr Tracey Evans 📩 Reach out if personalised, evidence-based mentoring resonatesNo BS.

Zero BS. - Love Story of Metabolic WellbeingThis week we reached a milestone on Metabolic Wellbeing – Without the BS: Episode 75 🎙️ And it feels only right that this moment shines a light on the brains, heart, and driving force behind the movement — my life partner, best friend, and constant inspiration, Michelle Bauge.In a free flowing conversation, please enjoy. A little insight into who is Michelle.I’m about as ordinary as they come. I find joy in simple things — a walk in the park, a good conversation, a podcast that makes you think, moments that keep life grounded and real. Alongside a full-time role in Sports Development (which I genuinely love), I’ve also discovered something unexpected: a deep love for writing and storytelling.Not with a grand plan. Not with ambition or ego. But with honesty, heart, and a desire to connect.What started as a few words became a way of expressing what truly matters — compassion, empathy, courage, hope, and kindness. Much of that inspiration comes from my granddaughters, whose curiosity and light are daily reminders to stay brave, keep going, and lead with purpose.That same ethos runs through Metabolic Wellbeing – Without the BS. We don’t shy away from sensitive conversations because real change doesn’t happen in comfort. In a world that often feels divided and overwhelmed by noise, we believe clarity, love, and truth deserve the final word.Through books, blogs, podcasts, collaborations, and now 75 episodes of honest conversation, the greatest gift has been this: 👉 giving something meaningful — and receiving far more in return.Life rarely goes exactly to plan. But when you take even the smallest step forward, rooted in compassion and hope, incredible things become possible.Here’s to 75 episodes, to Michelle, and to everyone who continues to listen, question, learn, and choose wellbeing — without the BS.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

At 33, she believed she had life figured out, thriving in Sydney - only to have everything she knew about herself and the world upended.The aftermath was filled with darkness - self-doubt, isolation and a struggle to find her place. Despite her legal background, Alicia found herself navigating systems meant to support survivors that instead failed her - society's silence around sexual violence, a workplace culture that did little to foster healing and a justice system that routinely lets survivors down. These systems, designed to protect, instead deepened the struggle.The Power of Breathwork and Metabolic WellbeingTherapy was a crucial part of Alicia’s journey, but it was breathwork that truly helped her recalibrate her nervous system and reconnect with herself. Through conscious connected breathing, she discovered a way to heal beyond traditional methods.This didn’t happen overnight - it required time, effort and a shift in mindset. Alicia learned that real recovery meant detaching from toxic environments, finding a new community and embracing a holistic approach to wellbeing. Rest, nourishment and aligning with her true purpose became the foundation of her new life.Today, Alicia is a holistic health coach and breathwork facilitator, working with individuals to shift out of survival mode and reconnect with themselves, and with organisations to foster human-centered, wellness-focused workplaces. She uses breath, evidence-based tools and a grounded, compassionate approach to help people manage stress, regulate their nervous systems and find resilience in the face of adversity.Her story is not just one of survival, but of using trauma as a catalyst for change.🎧 Tune in to hear an honest conversation about healing, agency and what it means to return to yourself, one breath at a time.🔗 Listen now on all major podcast channelsIf you're curious about breathwork or want to bring wellness practices into your workplace, connect with Alicia to learn more.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

Having been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 10, I have struggled with the impact of long-term health issues, and understand the difficulties people face when coping with ill-health. I suffered kidney failure in 2011, and was fortunate to have a kidney and pancreas transplant. I was able to return to work and fulfil many of my career and life ambitions, but became disenchanted with the legal process, and realised that the stressful environment was having an impact on my own physical and mental health and those around me, so began to investigate how I could make a change to create a better and healthier life for myself and others. What I learned led me down a path of discovery into health and behavioural change coaching. I am undergoing studies to qualify as a Registered Health Coach, and also as a Registered Nutritionist. With my background I want to help effect change at a national level, and am working with the UKIHCA, the profession’s regulatory body, to gain more standing in government, and to ensure that the profession has the voice it deserves to refocus on the prevention of ill-health rather than the cure.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.

Send us Fan MailJanet FrankI left a career as a psychologist for sales. It was true that I left to pursue a lifelong curiosity about business and marketing. What I didn't emphasize is that I was symptomatic from Hashimoto's (an autoimmune thyroid disorder) and an undiagnosed gluten intolerance, and it was difficult to sustain the work. I took a 14-year detour, working with amazing mentors in sales and sales coaching. I also used that time to learn to manage my health and thrive.When I learned that health coaching had emerged as a profession, I made the decision that day to pursue certification. 60% of people in the US have a chronic disease, and we are getting heavier and sicker by the day. Physicians do not have time to spend with patients on lifestyle and habit change - those take time. Health coaching can as broad as what wellness means to you. Functional medicine (I am functionally trained) looks at the root causes of disease and at the entire person, and that includes diet and lifestyle. I have evolved into niches of emotional eating and work-life balance, but am happy to work with you around any aspect of your wellness. I have part-time employment which I really enjoy, and I maintain a small private practice. I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 30-minute consultation at [email protected] to see if health coaching is right for you (I offer group and 1:1 coaching). You're welcome to review my website at www.janetfrankcoaching.com and subscribe for updated articles. If you're a leader of a team or part of an organization, I'd be happy to talk with you about presentations which can be done in person if you're local, or virtually, with geography as no obstacle.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS  Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy.
