    Metabolic Signaling of Sugar w/ Chris Mearns

    Chris Mearns describes how fructose metabolism creates uric acid and damages mitochondrial function, explaining that the body's survival programming from evolutionary times is now working against modern humans who eat constantly due to easy access to food. Mearns discusses how various foods and lifestyle factors trigger fructose metabolism, including high glycemic carbs, dehydration, salt, alcohol, and umami foods, making it challenging to avoid the compound entirely. He shared research on fructokinase inhibitors and describes his company Liv3Health's product SugarShield, which contains luteolin and tart cherry extract to naturally inhibit fructose metabolism.  Discussion Points: Fructose and Glucose Metabolic Differences Evolution and Modern Dietary Challenges Fructose Metabolism and Fasting Insulin Resistance and Cellular Fuel Natural Fruit Ripening and Processing Survival Signals and Food Cravings Chris Mearns is a metabolic researcher, the founder of LIV3 Health, and the creator of the Fructose Model, a systems-based approach focused on how fructose metabolism can contribute to health issues.

    From Diagnosis to Healthier Baking Options w/ Carolyn Haeler

    Carolyn Haeler shares her personal experience with celiac disease and how it led her to start a gluten-free cookie company. She explained that while she could live without pasta, gluten-free cookies presented a particular challenge due to the removal of key baking ingredients like wheat flour, butter, and eggs. Carolyn also discussed the extensive presence of gluten in various food products beyond obvious sources, highlighting how it's used as a color, preservative, and filler in many everyday items. Carolyn’s story is a living example of turning adversity and self-evaluation into meaningful change. After her Celiac disease diagnosis, she left behind a successful finance career to recreate a staple everyone misses on a gluten-free diet: truly delicious cookies. She spent months experimenting and learning from her early baking missteps, transforming each setback into a step forward (in a way that perfectly embodies your message). Now, her company offers award-winning gluten free cookies and flours, including Best Product winners by Food & Beverage Magazine for two consecutive years and a recent nod from Good Housekeeping as a Best Snack of 2025 for the Coconut Oatmeal Cookies. Carolyn Haeler is the founder of Mightylicious Gluten Free.

    The Search for Quality Gluten Free Products w/ Alicia Lang

    If you've tried any gluten free bread products, chances are they left you with either an odd taste or poor texture. Alicia Lang, Community Manager and Nutrition Expert for Queen Street Bakery, educates us on how gluten free can be healthy and taste great. Alicia explains that Queen Street Bakery focuses on using high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients like chia seeds to ensure both taste and health benefits, rather than compromising nutrition for taste. The discussion includes the importance of gluten-free products for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, noting that many gluten-free options on the market lack proper nutrition. Consumers should hold food manufacturers to a high standard to ensure products are in-fact gluten free, verifying through third party testing procedures. Cross contamination during production could cause health reactions for certain consumers.  As a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s in Health Science, Alicia combines scientific expertise with a genuine passion for making food that’s both delicious and nourishing.
