369. Detox the RIGHT Way - NOT With Gimmicky Protocols
In this special episode, I dive into the art of detoxing effectively and in an optimal, healthy way. It's common to feel the need for a little extra detoxification after indulging in festive feasts and drinks. My focus here is to shed light on the real essence of detox, moving away from the misconceived notion of a week-long, pill-dependent process.
Often, when people hear "detox," they envision a quick-fix regimen that leaves them feeling drained and unwell. This episode aims to change that perspective, presenting detox as a gentle, nurturing process rather than a short-term solution.
As I explain deeper, my discussion highlights simple yet effective detox methods. It's not always about dramatic measures; sometimes, the simplest acts can be the most beneficial. I'll talk about the importance of loving your liver, the role of supplements like iodine and glutathione, and the critical nature of regular bowel movements. Hydration, an aspect often overlooked, is emphasized as well. It's surprising how something as basic as drinking enough water can play a pivotal role in detoxifying the body.
This episode is designed to enlighten listeners on how to detox in a way that is both sustainable and supportive of overall health. It's about a balanced, holistic approach that can be integrated into everyday life. Join me as I explain the true meaning of detox and how to do it right.

368. 5 Tips For Fast Fat Loss
Let me tackle an issue that's far too common yet often swept under the rug: the obesity epidemic and its ties to metabolism. It's a topic that's close to my heart, and one that I think deserves more attention than it gets.
Think about the last time you were at a crowded place like Disney, a mall, or a sporting event. Did you notice the number of people who looked genuinely fit and healthy? It's a concerning observation that healthy, fit individuals are becoming a rarity. This alarming trend underscores the obesity epidemic we are facing right now. But here's the thing – it's not just about numbers on a scale; it's about the core of our health: our metabolism.
Now, fixing metabolism isn't a free pass to indulge in unhealthy habits. It's about creating a balance that leads to a healthier lifestyle. You're reducing the risk of all kinds of health problems that come with aging.
But the benefits aren't just for your future self. When your metabolism is in check, you feel it in the now – the energy, the vitality, and the joy of looking in the mirror and loving what you see. It's about feeling great, having energy all day, and your cells functioning optimally. Your body starts working in harmony, fighting off diseases, managing body fat more efficiently, and promoting overall well-being.
In this episode, I don't just talk about the problem; I offer solutions. I share six simple, actionable steps to fix your metabolism. These aren't just theoretical concepts; they're practical, doable steps that can make a real difference in your life.
So, if you've ever found yourself wishing to shed a few pounds, feeling sluggish, or worried about your health as you age, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to transform your metabolism and, with it, your health and life. Let's dive in and take control of our well-being, one step at a time!

366. Ozempic, Mounjaro, Trulicity...Is It Worth the Risk?
GLP-1's...Is diving into these worth the risks?" Glucagon-like Peptide-1's is a crucial topic, especially for those exploring options for managing type 2 diabetes or looking for weight loss solutions.
GLP-1's initially emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for type 2 diabetes, with Trulicity being one of the first on the market. These medications work by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas, effectively reducing high blood glucose levels. This is vital for those with type 2 diabetes, as consistently high glucose can lead to severe complications like neuropathy, blindness, and even cardiovascular diseases.
Ozempic, later introduced, was FDA-approved not just for diabetes management but also for reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in people with pre-existing heart conditions and type 2 diabetes. Similarly, Mounjaro follows the same mechanism, mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to regulate blood glucose levels.
However, it's not all smooth sailing. These medications can significantly impact digestion, often leading to a slowdown in gastric emptying. This episode doesn't shy away from discussing the potential side effects, including heartburn, nausea, a sense of fullness that affects appetite, and sometimes even severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
Join me as I navigate through these complexities, weigh the benefits against the risks, and provide insights that could help you make informed decisions about using GLP-1's. Whether you're considering them for diabetes management or as part of your weight loss journey, this episode is an invaluable resource. Tune in to uncover the truths and myths about these widely discussed medications.

Customer Reviews
Hope
I’ve got some since finding this down to earth and highly informed doctor.
I would love to see Dr Amie have Dr Brooke Goldner, MD on the show.
She has a program called goodbye lupus and goodbye autoimmune. I followed this raw vegan diet to a T for 4 months and now all my hair is falling out. This raw vegan program claims to heal everything. It was the only thing that helped me lose a little weight but I was so protein starved after 4 months that when my hair started falling out I dove head first into a plate of shrimp and haven’t stopped.
I’d love to see a friendly professional debate by these 2 doctors.
Eat, Hack, Repeat
This was a great dose of reality. So many bio hackers come across as perfect and always on such that the rest of us feel inadequate and unable to keep up. Thank you for being real. More podcasts like this one would be great.
Running
I have Hashimoto. I do weight lifting but I also do love running. How can I still incorporate running in my lifestyle and not gain weight?
