    From Big T To Fitness Phenom with Tony Drake

    Send a text In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan sits down with Tony Drake—lifestyle transformation coach, former WWF wrestler, and the man who lost 130 pounds and dropped from ~40% body fat to ~6%—to unpack what actually drives sustainable fat loss and lasting metabolic health. Tony shares the pivotal mindset shift that forced “Big T” to die, how consistent training and nutrition rewired his identity, and how that transformation opened doors to wrestling with WWE/WWF and touring Japan—proving that real change starts when your daily habits match your purpose. Together, they expose the modern “quick-fix” trap—fat burners, extreme calorie cuts, pill stacks, and influencer-driven shortcuts—and why reactive health (waiting for a scare like high blood pressure or a heart event) keeps people stuck in the cycle. Tony breaks down his coaching framework for busy professionals: purpose-first behavior change, weekly accountability, simple nutrition and movement fundamentals, and honest communication to defeat self-sabotage. If you’re tired of yo-yo dieting and want a practical roadmap to look great, feel great, live great, and give great, this conversation delivers the real playbook. Coach Tony Drake is a certified fat loss and wellness expert who helps busy professionals over 30 drop weight, lose body fat, and take control of their health without extreme diets or hours in the gym. After losing over 130 pounds and reversing multiple health issues, Tony turned his transformation into a mission: helping others build sustainable habits, master their mindset, and finally stop starting over. Through his coaching program “Look Great Feel Great,” he provides customized nutrition plans, simple fitness routines (home or gym), and accountability systems designed to fit into the busiest lives.  Tony has been featured on stages, podcasts, and wellness events for his real-talk coaching style and life-changing results. https://www.youtube.com/@coachingbydrake https://youtu.be/d8TdATG49kQ https://coachingbydrake.io/ https://www.skool.com/feel-great-with-drake-5184/about https://www.facebook.com/coachingbyd Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?

    Urolithin A Explained: The Mitochondrial Upgrade Everyone’s Talking About

    Send a text In this episode of the Decoding Health, Dr. Urban Kiernan breaks down the science behind Urolithin A, a gut-derived compound gaining attention for its role in mitochondrial health, muscle performance, and metabolic function. The conversation explains what Urolithin A actually is (and what it isn’t), how it’s produced through the gut microbiome, and why it’s fundamentally different from peptides. Dr. Urban walks through the concept of mitophagy—the cellular process that clears damaged mitochondria and replaces them with healthier ones—and why this matters for energy production, aging, athletic performance, and overall metabolic resilience. The episode explores how Urolithin A relates to autophagy and intermittent fasting, why muscle tissue is especially dependent on mitochondrial health, and what current research suggests about strength, endurance, and recovery. Dr. Urban emphasizes supplement quality, regulatory gaps in nutraceuticals, and what to look for when evaluating products, including GMP standards and third-party testing.

    Insulin Resistance & Prediabetes: Metabolic Reset With Dr. Kaitlin Castillo

    Send us a text Dr. Kaitlin Castillo pulls back the curtain on why so many people can look healthy on the outside while quietly living in a metabolic “danger zone” underneath the surface. Using real-world clinical context, she breaks down what processed, packaged eating does to blood sugar regulation, why insulin resistance can progress for years before patients are clearly warned, and what “good doctor” communication should look like when labs start trending in the wrong direction. The conversation also examines the incentive structures inside modern healthcare—how payor systems can shape clinical behavior, and why some physicians feel pressured to follow narrow protocols rather than address root causes. From the statin conversation to “they didn’t do anything wrong—they did what they were told,” Dr. Castillo explains how well-intentioned care can still miss the mark when the system rewards maintenance over prevention. On the action side, she challenges common assumptions: why 10,000 steps isn’t a workout—it’s the baseline; why being “cured” isn’t real if you can’t return to the same habits that got you sick; and how specific dietary strategies (including carnivore and keto approaches for certain people) may help correct metabolic dysfunction. The episode closes with a broader critique of the U.S. food system, why constant eating works against human biology, and how an overly metric-driven culture can distract from what actually changes health outcomes. Dr. Kaity Castillo is a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in primary care and metabolic health. Through her clinical practice and coaching programs, she helps patients address the root causes of fatigue, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and chronic metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Castillo combines evidence-based medicine with personalized lifestyle strategies to deliver sustainable, whole-person results. Her mission is to empower individuals to understand their bodies, optimize their health, and build long-term vitality. https://www.instagram.com/drkaitycastillo/ http://kaitycastillo.com Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?

    GHK-Cu Explained: The Science Behind Copper Peptides, Healing, and Hair Regrowth

    Send us a text GHK-Cu (copper peptide) has surged in popularity across regenerative medicine, aesthetics, and biohacking—but what does the science actually say? In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban breaks down the real physiology behind GHK-Cu, a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine. You’ll learn how this peptide supports wound healing, collagen remodeling, tissue regeneration, and why it’s increasingly used for skin rejuvenation and hair regrowth. The conversation explores how GHK-Cu stabilizes and transports bioavailable copper, its role in activating matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and what preclinical research shows about systemic healing effects. Dr. Urban also addresses critical safety considerations, FDA status, compounding pharmacy regulations, injectable vs topical use, and why oral versions are largely ineffective. This episode offers a grounded, science-first look at one of today’s most talked-about peptides—without hype, shortcuts, or misinformation. Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?

    Metabolic Syndrome: The Real Heart Attack Warning With Dr. Ronald Krauss

    Send us a text Ronald M. Krauss joins the show for a practical, myth-busting deep dive into cardiometabolic risk, lipidology, and why the LDL conversation is often framed in the wrong direction. Building on his long-standing advisory-level relationship with Dr. Urban and his “disruptor” approach to improving outcomes, Dr. Krauss clarifies the critical difference between LDL and LDL cholesterol, uses a memorable “bus cholesterol” analogy to explain particle number vs. cholesterol content, and ties the real risk story back to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. We tackle why simplistic nutrition rules break down in real physiology, including why “eat the whole egg” can be appropriate in context, where resistance to updated science comes from, and what makes Lp(a) uniquely damaging. Dr. Krauss shares how studying his own family sharpened his perspective on genetic risk, prevention, and what actually moves the needle for heart health. Ronald M. Krauss, M.D., is a Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at UCSF, Dolores Jordan Endowed Chair at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, and Adjunct Professor of Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley. He earned his undergraduate and medical degrees with honors from Harvard, trained in internal medicine at Boston City Hospital (Harvard Medical Service), and served as a Clinical Associate and Senior Investigator at the NHLBI Molecular Disease Branch in Bethesda. Dr. Krauss is board-certified in internal medicine, endocrinology & metabolism, and lipidology, and is a recognized leader in cardiometabolic health and atherosclerosis research. He has held major national leadership roles, including serving on the American Heart Association National Board of Directors, the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel, and as founding Chair of the AHA Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health. He has also served on National Academy of Medicine committees focused on dietary macronutrients and chronic disease biomarkers. He has authored 500+ peer-reviewed publications with 195,000+ citations (h-index 161), and is widely known for identifying the “atherogenic dyslipidemia” triad—high triglycerides, low HDL, and increased small, dense LDL—linked to insulin resistance, abdominal adiposity, and elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as advancing widely used methods for lipoprotein particle analysis.  Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?

    Why Natural GLP-1 Disappears So Fast: DPP-4, Half-Life, and How Ozempic-Style Drugs Are Engineered

    Send us a text GLP-1 is a gut-derived hormone designed to signal the pancreas to produce insulin—but in its natural form, it’s notoriously short-lived. In this Decoding Health segment, we break down why endogenous GLP-1 has an ultra-short half-life (about three minutes), and how the enzyme DPP-4 rapidly “clips” incretin hormones by targeting specific amino acids near the N-terminus—effectively destroying the signal before it can last. You’ll learn how GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs were engineered to resist DPP-4 degradation, why DPP-4 inhibitor medications (the “gliptins”) extend incretin activity from a different angle, and why measuring GLP-1 in blood samples is scientifically challenging due to ongoing enzyme activity even after blood is drawn. This episode clarifies the biology behind incretins, insulin signaling, and why drug design focuses on stability—while separating the molecule’s function from the controversy around how these therapies are used today.

    How To Fix The Food System When Policy Won’t With Dr. Robert Lustig

    Send us a text Dr. Robert H. Lustig joins the show to break down why today’s metabolic health crisis is not a personal failure problem, but an environment problem, and how the power structure shaping food, policy, and public health has shifted in ways most people have not tracked. From “poisonous calories” and ultra-processed food to microplastics, reactive species, and artificial sweeteners, Dr. Lustig connects the biochemical dots to the brain, explaining how the amygdala functions like an air-traffic controller for stress and decision-making, what happens when its “brakes” fail, and why our nervous system is increasingly under attack. The conversation moves from diagnosis to solutions, including what it would actually take to fix the food supply, why converting ultra-processed food into real food matters, and how initiatives like getting real food into schools can become a practical lever for change when leadership and institutions stall. Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in obesity, diabetes, metabolism, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry. He has dedicated his retirement from clinical medicine to help to fix the food supply any way he can, to reduce human suffering and to salvage the environment, by bringing all stakeholders together around a common vision of metabolic health: protect the liver, feed the gut, support the brain. Dr. Lustig graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He also received his Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) degree at University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 2013. He is the author of the popular books Fat Chance (2012), The Hacking of the American Mind (2017), and Metabolical (2021). He is the Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of the non-profit Eat REAL, and a member of the Nutrition Task Force of the American Dental Association. He is also the Chief Medical Officer of Biolumen, SnapRecall, and Perfact. http://robertlustig.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-lustig-8904245/ https://www.instagram.com/robertlust Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?

    New Science, New Guidance: Rethinking Hepatitis B Vaccination at Birth

    Send us a text In this episode of Decoding Health, we examine a recent shift in CDC guidance regarding hepatitis B vaccination recommendations for newborns. Long criticized for lagging behind evolving science, the CDC has now revised its position after reviewing updated risk-benefit data presented during a publicly broadcast panel discussion. Sparked by the birth of the host’s second grandchild, the conversation breaks down how hepatitis B is transmitted, why infection risk for infants born to hepatitis-negative mothers is extremely low, and what new evidence prompted the CDC to remove its universal newborn recommendation in these cases. We explore the concept of biological immune burden, emerging discussions around neurodevelopmental risk, and why updated guidance may take time to reach hospitals and pediatric practices. This episode equips parents and healthcare consumers with the knowledge needed to advocate for informed decision-making during postpartum care, using primary-source evidence directly from CDC proceedings.
