Metabolic OS with Dr. Chad Larson

You're doing everything right — eating better, moving more, trying every diet — and your body still won't respond. If that's you, this show is built for you. Metabolic OS is a health and metabolic-performance podcast hosted by Dr. Chad Larson, NMD, a naturopathic medical doctor with 20+ years of clinical experience in metabolic and hormonal health. Each week he breaks down the root systems that control your energy, fat storage, hormones, and long-term health — the operating system running underneath the symptoms. No diet trends, no quick fixes. Just the science of why your metabolism stalls and how to get it running again. In each episode you'll learn how to: — Restore insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility — Understand why weight loss stalls and energy crashes happen — Reset the circadian and hormonal timing that drives hunger and fatigue — Lower your metabolic age and reduce disease risk — Apply simple, science-based steps t

  Why we add fat to a fish that doesn't have any

  Jun 3, 20266 minS0

  <p>This episode covers oven-baked tilapia served over a Mediterranean salad — and organizes the argument around a practical fish hierarchy: good is tilapia, better is salmon, best is wild Alaskan sockeye. The framing is a more clinically useful way to think about what each fish is doing and what the rest of the plate needs to contribute.</p><p>Chad Larson, NMD walks through the SMASH framework — salmon, mackerel, anchovy, sardines, herring — as the oily fish category delivering 1,500 to 2,500 mg of EPA and DHA per 100 grams, versus tilapia's roughly 100 to 200 mg. That gap is structural: farmed tilapia's omega-6 to long-chain omega...

  Why we still eat pancakes

  May 13, 202611 minS0

  <p>In this episode, Dr. Chad Larson and Nicole demonstrate a metabolically aligned pancake recipe filmed in their home kitchen. The conversation covers the carbohydrate math behind traditional pancakes — roughly 50 to 70 grams of net carbs per stack — and how reformulation drops that to about 1.5 grams per pancake without giving up the experience of pancakes as a meal.</p><p>Each ingredient swap carries its own clinical reasoning. Almond flour and flaxseed meal replace wheat flour, with the flaxseed contributing lignans, omega-3 fatty acids, and a soluble-insoluble fiber blend that supports the gut microbiome. Monk fruit and allulose replace sugar without meas...

  Four ingredients. One Skillet. Every benefit we want.

  May 4, 20268 minS0

  <p>Dr. Chad and his wife Nicole walk through a four-ingredient <br/>skillet meal they fall back on most weeks — rotisserie chicken, <br/>mushrooms, onions, and arugula, cooked in a single cast-iron pan <br/>in about twelve minutes. The conversation moves through why each <br/>ingredient earns its place metabolically and why the most durable <br/>patients aren't the most precise eaters — they're the most <br/>repeatable.<br/><br/>Topics covered:<br/>- Protein as the metabolic anchor — thermogenesis, glucose <br/>  steadying, and muscle protein synthesis<br/>- Why arugula's glucosinolates support phase 2 liver detoxification<br/>- Inulin in onions and what prebi...

  Why we dump butter on our chicken

  Apr 22, 202624 minS0

  <p>Most people didn't stop eating butter because they wanted to. They stopped because a generation of nutrition advice told them they had to.</p><p>In this episode, Nicole and I walk you through a real Sunday dinner at our house — bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs basted in grass-fed butter and avocado oil, an arugula salad, cooled rice for the kids, and a scoop of kimchi on the side. We cover why the skin stays on, why butter earns its spot back on the plate, what glycine and butyrate actually do inside your body, why cooled rice behaves differently than fr...

  What a Metabolic Doctor's Kitchen Actually Looks Like at Dinner Time

  Apr 13, 202614 minS0

  <p>Most people don't struggle with knowing what to eat. They struggle with actually building a metabolically healthy meal when life is moving fast and the fridge is full of leftovers.</p><p>In this episode, Nicole and I walk you through a real weeknight dinner — a lamb taco bowl built around what we had on hand, the shortcuts we lean on without apology, and why this meal works metabolically even when it isn't perfect. We cover the protein anchor, slow-carb vegetables, healthy fats that keep your mitochondria burning clean, and how to think about carbohydrates relative to your own to...
