Are you accidentally disrupting your hormones before 8AM?

If you’re skipping breakfast, doing intermittent fasting until noon, or delaying food “for metabolic benefits” — this is for you.

Exercise physiologist breaks down what actually happens when women don’t eat within an hour of waking: cortisol stays elevated, hunger hormones dysregulate, and by 4PM you’re crashing, craving sugar, and eating uncontrollably at night.

In the full episode, Dr. Stacy Sims and I go deep on everything women need to know about training and nutrition across every phase of life:

- Why women lose muscle differently than men — and what to do about it
- How heavy strength training slows Alzheimer’s risk
- The truth about protein timing after 40
- How your gut microbiome shifts with hormones and drives cravings

So much more! Full episode out now on The Dr. Hyman Show Podcast wherever you listen.

Crumbl just launched “Dirty Sodas.” Finally, some honest marketing.

One of these drinks contains 186 grams of sugar. For reference, that’s equivalent to:

- Almost 5 cans of Coke
- 2 pints of Ben & Jerry’s
- 29 Krispy Kreme donuts
- 40 Oreos
..except you’re drinking it through a straw.

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 25 grams of added sugar per day for women and 36 grams for men.

This one drink delivers roughly 5 to 7 days’ worth of added sugar in a single sitting.

And your body knows it.

When you consume that much sugar at once, your blood sugar spikes violently, triggering a massive insulin response. Your liver gets flooded with fructose it can’t process, converting it directly to fat. Your dopamine system lights up like a slot machine, making you crave more.

This is a metabolic wrecking ball that sets the stage for insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation.

“Dirty Soda” might be the most accurate product name I’ve seen all year.

Please do not drink this.

Drop a YES below and I’ll DM you a link to my 10-Day Detox program, designed to calm inflammation fast. 🔥

Fatigue, brain fog, bloating, low mood, and aching joints have one thing in common. Inflammation. And inflammation has a cause.

Sugar feeds it. Processed food fuels it. Poor sleep fans it. Chronic stress sustains it. Isolation amplifies it… which means the opposite is equally true!

The right food cools it. Movement calms it. Deep sleep repairs it. Laughter lowers it. Connection heals it.

That is exactly what my 10-Day Detox is built on. Ten days of removing everything that is setting your body on fire and replacing it with everything your body has been starving for.

No gimmicks. No starvation. No willpower required.

Just the most practical, proven reset I have refined over 30 years of medicine — and the one my patients come back to again and again when they want to feel like themselves again fast.

In 10 days you can expect:
- Less bloating and digestive discomfort
- Clearer thinking and more sustained energy
Improved mood and better sleep
- A body that finally feels like it is working with you instead of against you

And you can change that starting today.

Drop YES below and I’ll send you the link right now.

Food is the most powerful medicine available — and it works through every system in your body simultaneously.

Your gut, your immune system, your mitochondria, your hormones, your brain. What you eat either supports all of these or quietly undermines them.

The science on this has never been clearer. Colorful, phytochemical-rich plants activate your body's own healing and longevity pathways. High-quality protein preserves the muscle that keeps your metabolism strong as you age. Clean-burning fats fuel your mitochondria more efficiently than refined carbs ever could.

And the foods working against you are just as clear: refined oils, sugar, starch, processed food engineered to override your hunger signals.

Swipe through for the framework.

Less than 23% of Americans meet the recommended amount of exercise per week. That recommendation is only 150 minutes, which works out to just 21 minutes a day. And still, most of us are not hitting it...

93% of Americans have some form of metabolic dysfunction. These two facts are not a coincidence.

Muscle is a metabolic organ:
It absorbs 80% of the glucose in your bloodstream after a meal
It secretes over 600 molecules that fight inflammation, protect your brain, and slow aging.

It reduces cardiovascular mortality by up to 29%, and up to 46% when combined with cardio!

One full-body session per week maintains what you have. Two to three builds it. Bands, bodyweight, and light dumbbells all work.

The best time to start was years ago. The second best time is today…

PS - if it makes you feel any better, I didn't start strength training until I was 59 years old! I only wish I started sooner.
