    The Real Science Behind Vyleesi: Arousal, Appetite, and Blood Pressure Risks

    Send us a text What are the real side effects of Vyleesi—and how do they compare to Viagra? In this follow-up conversation, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan breaks down what Vyleesi (also known as PT-141) is, how it works, and why it’s being discussed as a modern option for women experiencing low sexual desire, arousal challenges, or vaginal dryness (when prescribed for specific diagnoses). You’ll learn how Vyleesi’s mechanism differs from Viagra’s nitric-oxide-driven vasodilation, why Vyleesi is delivered via an auto-injector, and what consumers should actually pay attention to before considering either option. Dr. Urban A. Kiernan walks through the most common reported side effects and safety considerations—especially around blood pressure, cardiovascular risk, and pregnancy—then explains why drug-interaction lists and contraindications tend to expand over time as medications become more widely used. The episode closes with a clear, practical takeaway: understand the mechanism, respect contraindications, and make decisions with a qualified clinician—because there is no “free lunch” in pharmacology.

    How Behavior, Mindset, and Small Choices Transform Everything With Gary Jackson

    Send us a text  Gary Jackson joins Dr. Urban to unpack how discipline, mindset, and behavior patterns shape metabolic health. They explore why today’s “normal” encourages unhealthy habits, how marketing drives cravings, why the word “treat” programs reward behavior early in life, and how simple tools like label-reading can shift daily decisions. Gary shares the core coaching principles he teaches in judo—structure, repetition, accountability, and identity—and explains why sustainable change comes from mental mastery, not motivation. This episode offers clear, practical insights for anyone rebuilding their health through better habits and stronger self-awareness.  Gary Jackson is a seasoned Metabolic Health Practitioner and dedicated Judo Coach whose life and career span an impressive spectrum of disciplines. A former Royal Marines Arctic Warfare Commando, Gary went on to excel as a Senior Project Manager in both IT and pharmaceuticals, a short circuit motorcycle racer, and a published landscape photographer. His deep commitment to personal mastery and service led him to national coaching roles, including National Judo Coach for the Royal Navy/Royal Marines and Devon County Judo Coach. Now at 67, he devotes his days to guiding clients in nutrition and his evenings and weekends to coaching judo. Having transitioned from a primarily plant-based diet to a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle over the past three years, Gary remains driven by a simple yet powerful motivation: helping others to help themselves. https://www.kaiganmetabolichealth.com https://www.instagram.com/garyrant/ https://www.facebook.com/TriangleJudoClub  Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?

    GLP-3 Is Fake? The Dangerous Hype No One Saw Coming

    Send us a text The internet is buzzing about “GLP-3,” but according to Dr. Urban, it doesn’t exist. In this episode, he breaks down why GLP-3 is nothing more than a marketing term tied to a still-experimental drug from Eli Lilly. Dr. Urban explains the real science behind GLP-1 and GLP-2, how these hormones naturally function in the body, and why the new triple-agonist compound being called “GLP-3” is not approved, not regulated, and absolutely not safe for consumer use. The conversation exposes the growing underground market where online vendors sell raw, research-grade chemicals to everyday users under the guise of “peptides” or “research products.” From heavy-metal contamination to fake certificates of analysis, the risks are massive. Dr. Urban outlines how compounds like semaglutide and tirzepatide should actually be used clinically, why rebound weight gain is so common, and why reckless microdosing trends in the bodybuilding community could cause long-term damage. If you’re confused about GLP-3, overwhelmed by conflicting weight-loss claims, or curious about how these drugs really work, this episode separates science from hype and gives you the facts no one else is talking about.

    Questioning Diet Dogma in Modern Medicine With Dr. Ankur Verma

    Send us a text Modern medicine is facing a crisis — and Dr. Ankur Verma is sounding the alarm. In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Urban Kiernan sits down with Dr. Verma, who reveals why 95% of his patients show metabolic symptoms… and why questioning the system nearly got him ostracized by his own peers. This conversation exposes the cultural, political, and scientific forces shaping global nutrition — especially in India, where the debate around meat, health, and morality runs deep. Together, they explore: 🔥 Why metabolic dysfunction is becoming the norm, not the exception  🔥 How Dr. Verma’s medical peers reacted when he challenged entrenched beliefs  🔥 The truth behind life expectancy in meat-eating vs. non-meat-eating regions  🔥 The surprising micronutrient deficiencies common in people who avoid meat  🔥 The “untouchable” caste controversy and the punishment for eating meat  🔥 The Johnson & Johnson influence over nutrition messaging in India  🔥 Why BMI is misleading — and often harmful for patient assessment  🔥 Why no valid study shows meat causes or worsens kidney disease  🔥 Why doctors give albumin injections… but still tell people not to eat meat This episode isn’t about diet trends — it’s about truth, context, and understanding the real science behind human health.  If you’ve ever questioned mainstream nutrition dogma… this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for. Trained in emergency medicine from the George Washington University, Dr. Ankur is currently a Principal Consultant and Faculty of Emergency Medicine at the Max Super Specialty Hospital in New Delhi. He has a keen interest in Airways, Trauma, Academic EM, Resuscitation, and POCUS. Dr. Ankur conceived and coined the term #SATisfied airway and hopes to spread more awareness regarding the same. He has published many papers in national and international journals and is a PEER reviewer for numerous journals. He is a stern follower of FOAMED and urges his peers and residents to take up the newer “social” ways of staying up to date. He also holds the post of President, Society for Emergency Medicine, India – Delhi Chapter and is a member of the Trauma Special Interest Group of the International Federation of Emergency Medicine. He initiated the #EACH1SAVE1TM campaign where SEMI-Delhi members teach bystander CPR in the community.  He is also the Creator-Founder of THE DESI EM PROJECTTM – India’s First and only Emergency Medicine Podcast.
