    Foundations of Health & Seasonal Reset with Karen Schenk

    After a long winter break, Dr. Sveta Silverman returns—with her pet therapy dog Fiddler in tow—for a full-circle conversation with her very first podcast guest, Karen Schenck, CEO of Iconium Media. As Alberta stumbles through what feels like its "eleventh winter of spring," the two friends dig into why the season leaves us feeling depleted, both emotionally and physically, and what oxidative stress and free radicals have to do with the way we feel. At the heart of the episode is Karen's own transformation. After being told her bloodwork was "perfect" and that her exhaustion, brain fog, and weight gain were simply things to accept, Karen chose to take charge of her own body instead—no Ozempic, no shortcuts. She shares how she lost 52 pounds and returned to her early-twenties weight through intermittent fasting, a Mediterranean-meets-keto approach, and learning to spot the inflammatory foods hiding in a "healthy" diet. Along the way, Dr. Silverman breaks down the science: the cortisol-insulin diurnal cycle and why breakfast matters, the case for stopping food after 6pm, insulin resistance and why we reach for snacks when we're not truly hungry, and the everyday wins—raw nuts over roasted, blueberries, 85–90% dark chocolate, and greens over carbs even at a gas station. A warm, honest conversation about aging well, listening to your body, and showing up as the best version of yourself—for you and for the people who love you.
