I had the pleasure and honor of speaking at the UCI Women’s Wellness Days event. It’s been going on for 20 years. Fabulous event, highly recommend it. And one of the speakers there was Dr. Kiran Sachdev. She’s an integrative gastroenterologist and she’s a microbiome and longevity specialist. And and she was talking about the role of the gut in exercise and I’m like what? Can you imagine how excited I was?

So I insisted on grabbing some time with her and I was fortunate she said yes to be able to sit down and really talk about how she optimizes the gut microbiome to help with not just GI conditions, but also optimize longevity, athletic performance and overall well being. I was taking notes during this episode. I’m sure you will want too. So buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Why are so many women being told that testosterone is dangerous? Or it’s the male hormone. You don’t need it when so many of us are tired, we got low energy, low desire, we’re getting weaker, brain foggy, just not feeling like ourselves. Well, today we’re going to get into what no one really explains clearly. Except for the amazing Dr. Kelly Casperson. I’m bringing her back. She’s a crowd favorite and last time. People loved her honesty, her practicality. So we’re going to drive into the. Questions that a lot of you have been asking privately.

We’re going to be covering everything from GLP1 support and fiber intake to creatine for your brain to eating out as a vegetarian, healing digestion and how to hit your protein goals without over complicating your life. I’m also going to be covering questions from Instagram, my Facebook group YouTube. There’s a few questions in here I think are going to completely change the way you think about metabolism and healthy aging.

I’m talking with Dr. Darshan Shah about one of the most exciting shifts happening in health: the intersection of AI, personalized medicine, and longevity. We also dig into why muscle, hormones, HRV, morning routines, and the basics of lifestyle medicine still matter more than the flashiest biohacks.

If you’re on a GLP1 or even thinking about taking one, there’s something really important you need to understand before you lose weight the wrong way, because these medications absolutely work. So I want to do here is explain exactly why GLP1 means more protein is just a starting point and why protecting your metabolism while you lose weight takes a muscle first approach.

Now, one of the ways that GLP1s work is by shutting down the food noise and suppressing your appetite. But this benefit can become a risk very quickly if the right strategies for muscle preservation aren’t in place. If you’re not intentional about what you’re eating while your appetite is suppressed, especially when it comes to protein and muscle support, you’re not just losing fat, you’re also losing muscle.
