  All About Cortisol

  Aug 19, 202634 minS1

  Cortisol has become the internet's favorite villain — but ask most people what it actually does and the answer is a shrug. Rick and Greg spend this episode fixing that, starting with the uncomfortable truth that you'd be very, very sick without it. The key insight is that cortisol works on a schedule, not a setting. It spikes sharply in the morning to pull you out of sleep, declines through the day, and bottoms out around midnight. Chronic stress and poor sleep don't make that curve taller or shorter — they flatten it. And a flat curve means no pep in the morning, too much alertness at bedtime, and a cycle that feeds itself until one rough week has quietly become six months. Along the way, cortisol drives belly fat storage (that midsection has extra cortisol receptors), pushes you toward cravings for fast sugar rather than actual hunger, and taps your muscle protein as backup fuel. Then comes the myth-busting: "cortisol face" isn't a medical term, adrenal fatigue and adrenal burnout aren't recognized diagnoses, a cortisol lab test is clinically close to meaningless unless you're screening for a specific disease like Addison's, and "adaptogen" is a marketing word rather than a pharmacological one. Rick calls what's left the boring list, and he's not wrong — sleep seven to nine hours on a consistent schedule, exercise you can actually recover from, morning daylight and dim light at night, eat enough on a regular schedule, breathe, spend time with people you like, and cut caffeine off eight to ten hours before bed. Unglamorous, free, and more effective than anything on the supplement shelf. Greg's closing line says it best: cortisol isn't the enemy. Dysregulation is. Educational and informational only. Talk with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement, exercise regimen, or weight loss program — and especially if you're dealing with persistent insomnia.

  Understanding Creatine

  Aug 12, 202631 minS1

  Creatine is having a moment — it's in gummies, powders, capsules, and about half the ads in your feed. So Rick and Greg sat down to sort out what's real. In this episode they explain what creatine actually does at the cellular level (it recharges the ATP "battery pack" your muscles burn through in the first seconds of any effort), and why that matters more than the marketing suggests. The honest version: creatine doesn't build muscle. It gives you the energy to do two more reps or run one more mile — and that's what builds muscle. They cover realistic dosing at three to five grams a day, why timing matters far less than consistency, the water weight you might see early on, and the newer research pointing toward brain and cognitive benefits at higher doses. They also tackle the kidney myth head-on, explaining the lab-value mix-up between creatine and creatinine that sends so many patients into an unnecessary panic — and why you should simply tell your provider you're taking it. Plus: who benefits most (vegetarians, older adults, and anyone actively losing weight on a GLP-1), who should check with a clinician first, and the buying advice that'll save you money — plain creatine monohydrate from a reputable brand is what every study used, and there's no such thing as men's or women's creatine. Educational and informational only. Talk with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement, especially if you have kidney or liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under 18.

  Insulin Sensitivity - A Deep Dive

  Aug 5, 202630 minS1

  Rick Sorensen and Greg Camp tackle a term that gets thrown around constantly but rarely explained: insulin sensitivity. In this conversational deep-dive, they break the science down to "eighth-grade biology" and build it back up with analogies anyone can follow. You'll learn how your body converts food into glucose, how insulin works like a key unlocking your cells, and what goes wrong in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The centerpiece is Greg's "school hallway" analogy — where students are glucose, classrooms are your cells, and the auditorium is fat storage — which makes insulin resistance click in a way a textbook never could. From there, Rick and Greg cover the practical levers that actually move the needle: why muscle is your body's biggest glucose "sink," how a simple walk after a meal (and the GLUT4 "side door") helps glucose get used without extra insulin, and how visceral fat, poor sleep, and chronic stress work against you. They also dig into diet — why sugary drinks spike your system like dropping every student off at once, and how protein and fiber trickle it in instead — and close on why protecting your muscle while losing weight is essential to keeping your insulin sensitivity high for the long haul. The bottom line: your body craves homeostasis and hates extremes. Move regularly, build and keep muscle, and avoid big sugar spikes to help your body process energy efficiently — and keep your pancreas healthy for years to come.

  More Myth Busting

  Jul 29, 202631 minS1

  Rick Sorensen and Greg Camp continue their myth-busting series, tackling four more weight-loss beliefs that surface in clinic all the time — and giving you both the science and the real-world perspective on each. They start with the "starvation mode" myth: eating too little won't make you gain weight, but it will dial your metabolism down and cost you energy and muscle. Greg shares a memorable case of a patient stalled on 500–600 calories a day who finally started losing once she leveled her intake back up to 1,200. From there, they unpack why six small meals don't "stoke" your metabolic fire (though they can help some people manage hunger), why crash diets and detoxes are an expensive path to losing water and muscle — not fat — and why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro are a powerful tool but never a replacement for lifestyle change. The bottom line: there's no single solution to a complex system. Real, lasting health comes from sustainable habits stacked over time, with medication supporting the work rather than doing it for you.

  Weight Management During and After Pregnancy

  Jul 15, 202635 minS1

  Pregnancy triggers one of the most dramatic hormonal and metabolic shifts a body can experience — and it throws every "normal" weight loss rule out the window. Rick and Greg welcome back nurse and mother of three Lindsay Ellsworth for a candid conversation about staying active and eating well during pregnancy, navigating the postpartum "fourth trimester," and making peace with a body that's doing something extraordinary. They talk through realistic calorie guidelines, why insulin resistance rises during pregnancy, what happens when you have to pause a GLP-1 medication, and how to rebuild strength and confidence after delivery — all with a healthy dose of grace and a few Little Caesars breadstick confessions along the way.
