S 927: Autoimmune Disease Foundations: The Immune System, Gut Health, Genetics, and Lifestyle 03.08.2026 17minYour immune system is built to hunt invaders, but every so often it turns its weaponry on your own tissues. Over the last 50 years, autoimmune disease has gone from an uncommon condition to something almost everyone knows at least one person living with, and the two variables that move symptoms more than anything are almost never discussed in a 10-minute doctor's appointment. Inside today's episode, I take the umbrella view on autoimmunity, covering how the whole category works and what the underlying mistake looks like whether it lands on the thyroid in Hashimoto's, the joints in rheumatoid arthritis, the nerve coating in MS, or half a dozen organs at once in Lupus.Topics discussed: - The Rising Autoimmune Curve- The Immune Balance Tipping Point- Why 80% of Patients Are Women- The Hormone Picture in Autoimmune Disease- Oral Contraceptives and Autoimmune Risk- Gut Microbiome and Immune History- Trauma, PTSD, and Chronically Low Cortisol- The Nutrition Ladder for Autoimmune- AIP, Wahls, and Keto for Severe Cases---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 926: The 5 Pillars of Metabolism and How to Assess Metabolic Health 30.07.2026 23minInside today's featured replay interview, I walk through how to assess metabolic health from both the subjective side of energy, sleep, and appetite regulation and the quantitative side of lab work, and why coaches are best thought of as adaptation managers rather than diet prescribers. I cover the five pillars I use for managing metabolism including managing appetite, maximizing adherence, maximizing absorption, minding micronutrient status, and mitigating metabolic adaptation, and why building these into a framework matters more than following any specific diet or influencer's plan. Topics discussed: - The Two Metabolic Health Avatars- Qualitative vs Quantitative Metabolic Health- Coaches as Adaptation Managers- The 5 Pillars for Managing Metabolism- What, How Much, and When You Eat- When Meal Timing Matters Most- Why TDEE Calculators Miss the Mark- The Food Log and Labs Audit Approach---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Inside today's episode, I break down what happened at the FDA's Widow campus in Silver Spring, what the 8 to 6 to 1 vote on BPC 157 means, and how to think about the timeline for legal access over the next 12 to 24 months. walk through the category one, two, and three interim policy that determines whether the FDA will take enforcement action during the rule making window, and more.Topics discussed: - The July FDA Advisory Committee Vote- The Seven Peptides on the Agenda- FDA Review Staff vs the Committee- The Research-to-Real-Use Mismatch- Section 503A and the Bulks List- Category One vs Category Two Policy- The 12 to 24 Month Access Timeline- State Medical Boards and Enforcement- What This Means for Health Coaches---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 924: Is Obesity a Disease or a Choice? Where Physiology Meets Responsibility 24.07.2026 15min80% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, which means the obesity conversation isn't about weight for a lot of people... It's about internal health markers that indicate a declining state of metabolic function regardless of what someone weighs. Inside today's episode, I get into the harder version of the obesity conversation including whether it should be classified as a chronic medical condition, what happens when we label people as broken and then sell them the solution to their "brokenness", and where the personal responsibility conversation sits in a landscape flooded with GLP-1 medications and food environments engineered to defeat every mechanism the body has for satiety.Topics discussed: - The 80% Metabolically Unhealthy Statistic- Obesity as a Chronic Medical Condition- The Broken Mindset Trap- Personal Responsibility and Empowerment- Cardiovascular Risk, Longevity, and Children- Practices, Perceptions, and Physiology- Generational Parenting and Food Culture- The Chronic Dieting Flip Side---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 923: Do You Need a Multivitamin? Benefits, Risks, and Research 21.07.2026 17minPeople spend over $36 billion a year on vitamins, and most people probably couldn't tell you what those nutrients are supposed to accomplish. The multivitamin is the most popular supplement on Earth, but it's also one of the most mocked and misunderstood, with one camp calling it a scam while another swears a special formulation changed their energy and their life. Both takes miss the point of what a multivitamin is designed to do. Inside today's episode, I settle the multivitamin conversation in a way you can take back to your own life, starting with the reframe that the multi is a cheap insurance policy against nutrient gaps rather than a hero or a villain.Topics discussed: - Multivitamin as Insurance Policy- Vitamin D, Magnesium, and the Nutrient Gap Data- Why the RDA Is a Floor Not a Target- The Cheap Forms Problem- Nutrient Competition Inside the Pill- The Multivitamin Mindset Trap- What the Research Shows on Mortality and Disease- The Five Groups Who Benefit Most---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 922: How to Start and Grow a Health Coaching Business: Credibility, Certifications, and Building Your Client List 17.07.2026 15minInside today's featured replay interview, I sit down at the Silverback Summit for a full conversation on what it takes to start and grow a health coaching business that lasts. I get into the five categories that stack together to build coach credibility including leading by example, education and mentorship, content creation, networking, and the social proof that comes from actually helping people. Topics discussed: - The Five Categories That Build Coach Credibility- The 100 True Fans Framework- Why Small Audiences Are an Advantage- Pricing for New Coaches- The Certification Collector Problem- The Artificial Permission Slip Trap- Live Events, Programs, and Mentorship---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 921: The Root Causes of Hair Loss and How to Tell Which One You Have: Plus the Three Hair Loss Patterns to Watch 14.07.2026 15minHair loss is one of the most common health concerns out there, and it's one of the most mishandled. It directly impacts someone's confidence and the way they feel when they look in the mirror, and the standard response from coaches and providers tends to be the same advice across the board no matter what the actual mechanism is. Inside today's episode, I break down the three completely separate physiological pictures that all show up as hair loss but require completely different interventions, and how to identify which pattern you or your client is actually dealing with before reaching for a treatment.Topics discussed: - Hair Loss as Biofeedback- The Three Phases of Hair Growth- Androgenic Alopecia and DHT- Why Testosterone Doesn't Predict Baldness- Topical Alternatives and PRP- The Recovery Lag and Reversibility- Alopecia Areata and the Hashimoto's Connection---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 920: Metabolism, Body Composition and Labs: Why Most People Get Lean the Wrong Way /OR/ Beyond Diet Culture and Cookie-Cutter Plans 10.07.2026 10minMost of the conversation around nutrition in the fitness industry is really diet culture in disguise. There's a cookie-cutter template at the end of every book, a subscription waiting on the other side of every plan, and almost no one is actually teaching people how to think critically about the choices they make for their bodies. Inside today's featured replay interview on the Strong New York podcast, I get into the broader conversation on metabolism and metabolic health. Topics discussed: - Metabolism as Stress and Energy Regulator- Diet Culture vs Critical Thinking- Generational Shifts in Food Culture- Stomach Acid in Caffeine-Heavy Athletes- FODMAPs, Fruit, and Protein Pairing- Maintenance Calories as a Moving Target- Movement Snacks and NEAT---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 919: The Five Drivers of Adult Acne: Insulin, Androgens, IGF-1, Gut, and Stress Hormones 07.07.2026 15minMost adults dealing with acne have been handed the same three pieces of advice for the last 20 years. Wash your face more, cut out greasy food, try this cream, and if none of that works, get sent to a dermatologist for topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, or Accutane. None of that touches the actual drivers of adult acne. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research actually says about adult acne, the five physiological drivers that show up over and over in the literature, and the framework for working through cases methodically instead of guessing or putting every client on the same restrictive protocol.Topics discussed: - Adult Acne and Standard Advice- Acne as Biofeedback- Hyperinsulinemia as the Upstream Driver- Androgens, DHT, and SHBG- IGF-1 and the Dairy Connection- Gut Microbiome and Skin Inflammation- The Skin's Peripheral HPA Axis- Sleep, Stress, and the Intervention Hierarchy---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 918: Comprehensive Lab Work for Hormones & Metabolic Health: The Markers Most Docs Never Order and The Calories vs. Hormones Debate 03.07.2026 20minInside today's featured replay interview, I get into the broader conversation on metabolic health and why I treat calories and hormones as inseparable rather than opposing camps, what a comprehensive lab panel should actually include, and how to think about the testosterone conversation without overreacting. I cover the role of leptin, ghrelin, and GLP-1 in appetite regulation, the homeostatic and hedonic eating systems, and why the people playing macro Tetris while feeling like trash and the people eating Whole30 without the body they want are both missing the same thing. Topics discussed: - The Calories vs Hormones Debate- Leptin, Ghrelin, and GLP-1 in Appetite- Macros as a Tool for a Season- The Full Thyroid and Reproductive Panel- Cardiovascular Markers Beyond Standard Lipids- Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Family History- Why Testosterone Has Declined Since the 1980s- Western Range vs Functional Range- Benchmarking Labs Before You Need Them- The TRT Decision Framework and Fertility---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 917: Misleading Food Labels Explained: When Natural or Organic Products are Actually Worth The Money 30.06.2026 21minMost people are paying for grocery labels that aren't doing anything for them, and the FDA doesn't regulate half the words you're paying extra for at checkout. Inside today's episode, I walk through the food quality labels you see every week in the grocery store, which ones are tightly defined, which ones are basically marketing, and where the premium actually earns its keep depending on the category. Tune in to learn how to think about the whole label question when food quality is a refinement on top of getting enough protein, fruits, vegetables, and overall nutrients in the first place.Topics discussed: - Natural, Free Range, and Superfood Claims- "Good Source Of" and FDA Daily Values- Organic Tiers and the USDA Seal- Organic Produce and Pesticide Reality- The Dirty Dozen Methodology Critique- Organic Eggs and the Three-Label Stack- Grass Fed and the American Grass Fed Seal- When Grass Fed Beef Earns the Premium- Wild Caught vs Farm Raised Fish- BAP Certification and Aquaculture Quality---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 915: The $59 Billion Anti-Aging Industry vs. What Actually Works at the Cellular Level: Aging from the Inside Out 23.06.2026 17minThe anti-aging industry is a $59 billion business built on creams, serums, injections, IV drips, and stem cell tourism, and almost all of it is being sold from the outside in, as the actual aging is happening at the level of your DNA, your mitochondria, and the cellular pathways that decide whether your cells protect themselves or wear themselves down over time. Inside today's episode, I walk through the 80/20 breakdown on longevity that most people aren't getting, starting with the identical twin research showing aging is roughly 20% genetic and 80% lifestyle, and the shift in the field from the oxidative stress theory to the current information theory of aging.Topics discussed: - Genetics vs Lifestyle in Aging- The Nine Hallmarks of Aging- The Information Theory of Aging- Sirtuins, AMPK, and mTOR- The Rhythm Between Growth and Repair- Chronological vs Biological Age- Methylation Clocks and Telomere Length- Nutrition, Fasting, and Training Interventions- Sleep, Stress, and Community---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 914: Why More Fiber Isn't Always the Answer: Understanding Fiber Types, Gut Motility, and FODMAPs 16.06.2026 11minFiber is one of the most universally recommended nutrients for gut health, and in most cases that recommendation comes from a good place with good intentions. But there are specific scenarios where more fiber adds insult to injury, and most of the standard advice doesn't account for them. Inside today's episode, I walk through three situations where increasing fiber can actually make symptoms worse. I cover the motility and serotonin physiology behind that finding, the supporting interventions that pair with a short-term fiber reduction, and why this episode is about finding the right dose and the right types of fiber for the right people rather than demonizing fiber across the board. Topics Discussed: - When Fiber Backfires- Stacked Fibers from Processed Foods- Soluble Corn Fiber and Resistant Wheat Starch- Therapeutic Supplemental Fibers- FODMAPs and Gut Symptoms- SIBO and Diarrhea-Dominant IBS- Food and Symptom Tracking- The Zero Fiber Constipation Study- Motility, Serotonin, and the Gut- Right Dose, Right Type, Right Person---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 913: The Most Overlooked Hormone in Coaching: A Full Breakdown of DHEA and DHEA Sulfate 12.06.2026 27minDHEA is one of the most misunderstood hormones in the coaching and health space, and most of the social media conversation around it either oversells the supplement or misses the underlying physiology entirely. Inside today's episode, I break down DHEA and DHEA sulfate, the difference between the two. *NOTE: in this episode I refer to PMOS as PCOS - to learn more about PMOS, check out episode S 905Topics discussed: - DHEA vs DHEA Sulfate- The DHEA-to-Cortisol Ratio- Menstrual Cycle Testing Considerations- Age-Related Decline Patterns- Causes of Low DHEA Sulfate- Hyperandrogenic PCOS and Male PCOS Presentation- Oral Contraceptives and Testosterone Restoration- Immune Effects and Autoimmune Applications- Postmenopausal Supplementation- Cognition, Stress, and Where Supplements Fall Short---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 912: Overuse, Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint Pain and Why the Same Advice Doesn't Work for All of Them 09.06.2026 16minJoint pain shows up for at least three completely different reasons, and the right response in each case looks completely different. Inside today's episode, I break down the three drivers of joint pain that show up the most in coaching practice and primary care offices, why treating all three the same way gets you right about a third of the time, and how to actually sort out which one you or your client is dealing with. For coaches and active individuals alike, this is the framework to run before reaching for an intervention. Topics Discussed - Three Drivers of Joint Pain- Overuse and Programming Variables- Volume, Failure Work, and Recovery- Hydrolyzed Collagen and Vitamin C- Osteoarthritis and the Imaging Picture- Two Profiles Most People Miss- Resistance Training and Joint Health- Rheumatoid Arthritis and Gut Origins - The Fasting Trial Data- Individual Triggers vs Generic Protocols---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 911: Trauma, Cortisol, and the HPA Axis: The Physiological Layer Most Coaches Overlook 05.06.2026 16minA dysregulated nervous system will stall body recomposition no matter how dialed the nutrition is or how consistent the training is. Inside today's episode, I dig into trauma as a physiological variable rather than a soft emotional topic, and why most coaching certifications skip this conversation entirely. I break down the autonomic nervous system and HPA axis interplay, the two nervous system presentations , and why the cortisol literature looked contradictory for years.Topics discussed: - Trauma as a Spectrum- Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation- HPA Axis and Cortisol Output- Sympathetic Dominance Presentation- The Dissociative Subtype- Cortisol Patterns Over Time- Childhood vs Adult Trauma- Inverted Diurnal Rhythm- Lifestyle and Clinical Interventions- The Coach's Role and Scope---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 910: Upgrading Your Lab Testing: The Blood Panel Markers That Actually Move the Needle 02.06.2026 13minMost people getting bloodwork are only seeing part of the picture. Inside today's episode, I walk through nine body systems and break down what I consider the good, better, and best lab markers for each one, so you can stop copy-pasting basic panels and start ordering tests that actually inform decisions around health, performance, and longevity. Labs are most useful when they connect to symptoms, biofeedback, and context, and this episode is built to help coaches and health-conscious listeners order with more intention. Topics discussed: - Why Basic Panels Fall Short- Blood Sugar and Insulin Markers- Thyroid Beyond TSH- Kidney Panels- Male Hormone Panels- Female Hormone Patterns- Inflammation Markers Worth Ordering - Micronutrient Status and Iron- Stress and Cortisol Testing- Cardiometabolic Risk Markers---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

S 909: Improving IBS Symptoms Without Cutting Foods: What the Research Actually Shows About the Gut-Brain Axis 29.05.2026 7minMost IBS protocols start and end with food restriction, and most clients walk away frustrated when the elimination diet doesn't deliver the relief they were promised. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research actually says about the two biggest risk factors for IBS and general gut issues, why some studies rank one higher than the other, and how the gut-brain axis explains why dietary changes alone often plateau. I walk through a recent review of internet-delivered CBT trials that produced large reductions in IBS symptoms while participants kept their diet constant, what those CBT protocols actually included, and how the physiological pathway from sympathetic nervous system activation to gut inflammation creates the perfect storm for symptom flare-ups.Topics Discussed: - Main Risk Factors for IBS- Stress and the Sympathetic Nervous System- Stomach Acid and SIBO Risk- Ultra-Processed Foods and the Microbiome- Emulsifiers and the Gut Lining- CBT Research and the Gut-Brain Axis- What a CBT Protocol Actually Includes- The 360-Degree Approach ---------- Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
