The Benefits of Berberine
Berberine is an alkaloid compound that can be extracted from several plants. It is a widely used supplement in personalized medicine and is also beginning to get some traction within the conventional medicine space. Berberine is mainly used in the GI tract for its antimicrobial effects, but as it relates to gut health, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What is even more fascinating is berberine’s vast systemic metabolic influences.
In today’s episode, we dive into the wide array of berberine’s important effects. Not only on the gut, but also on detoxification systems, skin, eyes, lipid and blood glucose control, hypertension, and cardiovascular health.
Today on The Lab Report:
4:00 Berberine – not an herb – where does it come from?

Starch - The Good, The Bad, and The Bland
Diet and nutrition are a cornerstone of health and wellness. Small changes can have big impacts! With so much research and so many opinions, many people still struggle with what they should be eating. When looking for help, it’s difficult to wade through the various schools of thought since people become entrenched in their dietary camps: keto, carnivore, vegetarian, Mediterranean, etc. Recent trends have been leaning toward decreasing or eliminating carbohydrates in general. But, if history has taught us anything, vilifying specific food groups can have consequences. Are all carbs bad? If our industry espouses a personalized approach to health, shouldn’t that include diet?
In today’s episode, we discuss the good and bad of carbohydrates – and more specifically starch. We discuss the different types of starch and the fact that not all carbs are created equally
Today on The Lab Report:
2:25 Why are we vilifying carbohydrates?
5:00 Not all carbs are created equally – let’s talk starch basics
6:45 Starch digestibility and glycemic index
8:30 Slowly digestible and resistant starch
12:00 Effects on the microbiome

19:00 Glycoalkaloids, potato safety, corn starch

Customer Reviews
These two doctors make learning fun!
Seriously! They take everything from complex medical/health matters to foods
Hilarious
The banter… And tons of great info. So glad I found these two! I mean, really… learning should be fun!
Good Idea Poor Execution
I love the concept of this podcast. Unforunately the broadcasters appear to be more interested in chit chatting and filling us in about their personal lives it condenses 5 minutes of good info into 30 - 60 minutes. They really strange thing is they appear to be proud of this fact.
