Autoimmune Disease Demystified

In this week’s episode of the Get Better, Not Older Podcast, Dr. Rob and his wife Shannon draw on their combined 50 + years of clinical practice to unpack what really happens when “the body turns on itself.” They define autoimmune disease in plain language, explain why these conditions are more common than ever, and contrast traditional symptom-focused care with an integrative, root-cause approach. Shannon gets personal: After decades of missed diagnoses for genetic celiac disease, she suffered a severe case of ulcerative colitis—then put it into remission through targeted nutrition and gut-healing strategies. The couple walks listeners through the immune cascade, common environmental and genetic triggers, and the lab work that can reveal hidden problems long before irreversible damage sets in. They close with practical advice on finding the right providers, asking smarter questions, and taking the first steps toward real, lasting relief.

Doctor & Dietitian: Are You Being Diagnosed OR Labeled?

In episode 18 of The Get Better, Not Older Show, Dr. Rob Jones and RD Shannon Jones discuss the critical difference between being diagnosed and labeled in healthcare. Dr. Jones, a musculoskeletal expert, emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis—a methodical approach to identifying the root cause of symptoms rather than just treating them superficially. He highlights how managed care and time constraints in modern medicine often lead to rushed, symptom-focused treatments, leaving underlying issues unaddressed. Shannon, a clinical dietitian, echoes this sentiment, pointing out how internal health issues, like gut imbalances, often manifest externally (e.g., skin conditions or weight resistance) and require foundational testing, such as GI mapping, for accurate diagnosis. The seasoned duo critiques the trend of non-clinicians (e.g., massage therapists, coaches) overstepping their scope by diagnosing patients, which can lead to mislabeling and ineffective care. They advocate for precision medicine—addressing the root cause through thorough testing, movement, and strength-building, rather than accepting labels like "degenerative disc disease" or "IBS" as life sentences. Their message: challenge diagnoses, seek practitioners who prioritize foundational health, and remember that movement and proper nutrition are key to healing and aging well. The episode underscores their shared philosophy: Get better, not older by focusing on causes, not just symptoms.

The TRUTH About Fat Loss & Mistakes You Could Be Making

Episode 16 of The Get Better Not Older Show breaks down the truth about fat loss, exposing common myths and clarifying what really works. Dr. Rob and Shannon Jones cut through the confusion caused by online health “experts” who present information in silos, often misleading people with oversimplified or sensationalized claims. At the core of fat loss is a calorie deficit—burning more calories than consumed. However, achieving and maintaining that deficit isn’t just about eating less. Metabolic health, stress, sleep, and food quality all play critical roles. Chronic stress and high cortisol levels can slow fat loss, poor sleep can increase hunger by 30%, and an imbalanced microbiome can make weight loss much harder. The type of food eaten also matters. Highly processed foods, sugar, and inflammatory seed oils can disrupt hormones, spike blood sugar, and create cycles of cravings, making it difficult to sustain a calorie deficit. Shannon explains how balancing meals with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrient-dense carbs helps regulate appetite, maintain energy, and prevent blood sugar spikes. Exercise, particularly zone two activity like brisk walking, is key for fat metabolism and overall health. Strength training and HIIT workouts have benefits but should be used wisely to avoid excessive cortisol spikes that can hinder fat loss. Beyond losing weight, the real goal is long-term health. Fat loss alone is meaningless if it comes at the cost of metabolic damage. The Get Better Not Older Protocol, available at HeyDrRob.com, provides a sustainable approach to weight loss, muscle building, and overall well-being. Aging doesn’t have to mean decline—with the right choices, anyone can stay strong, mobile, and healthy for life.

The Controversial Truth About Seed Oils & What To Replace Them With

Episode 15 of the GBNO Show dives into the truth about seed oils—how they’re processed, why they’re everywhere, and the real impact on your health. Despite being promoted as "heart-healthy," these oils—canola, corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, cottonseed, and rice bran—are highly processed, oxidized, and linked to inflammation and disease. The problem isn’t the seeds themselves but how the oils are extracted, refined, and heated, creating harmful byproducts that continue to damage cells long after consumption. The food industry pushes these oils because they’re cheap and have a long shelf life, but emerging research challenges their safety. Experts warn that oxidation, linoleic acid instability, and the use of chemical solvents like hexane make these oils a major contributor to chronic illness. Even "expeller-pressed" or "organic" versions don’t eliminate the risks. The good news? There are better options. Avocado oil, butter, ghee, lard, coconut oil, and olive oil are more stable and far less inflammatory. Restaurants and processed foods make avoiding seed oils difficult, but checking labels and choosing whole, unprocessed foods can help. Bottom line: Seed oils aren’t just another ingredient—they’re a hidden health hazard. Reducing them in your diet is a crucial step toward better long-term health. Stay informed, make better choices, and as always, get better, not older.
