Don’t Obey. Comment “Resist” for info on our next big metabolic rebels meet up in Miami 💪 You’ll often hear Emily Kaplan @emilykaplanX site the most rebellious act you can pull off in a system designed to make us sick — health! This summer all of us at BSI and MetFix are getting together with a group of rebels in Miami at the Unbreakable Health Retreat. We’d love to see you there. May 30-31st | A jam packed weekend with 20+ lectures, workouts and workshops. 2 full days at the ritz Carlton, Miami. Lots of community and conversation around taking health back. Join @emilykaplanX , Greg Glassman, @drdrew , @tnseyfried and more.

Dr. Mindy Pelz put it plainly to Benjamin Bikman: “Is it possible that as humans, we’re not all meant to go on the same diet?” Bikman agreed — different diets can work for different people, but with one big caveat: cut the refined starches, sugars, and bad oils. He sees real success with well-planned whole-food vegetarian diets for some, and pure carnivore for others. On the carnivore side, the science nugget is clear: eliminating carbs drops insulin levels sharply, which helps the body burn stored fat more efficiently and improves overall metabolic health. He was especially direct about strict veganism often falling short for young, active women — many end up tired, low on heme iron, and relying on supplements. His simple advice in those cases? “Eat some beef.” It’s a refreshing reminder that the “one diet fits all” crowd might be overselling it. What actually works often depends on your own biology. Have you seen the same diet produce totally different results for people you know?

@TheWarKitchen glorious

Sometimes, you just need to recover. Use this weekend to recharge. Coconut water and real french fries for potassium. Citrus, watermelon and pineapple for elite hydration. Homemade broth for your gut. Black seed oil for the remnants of Winter flu. Fatty ribeyes and good eggs for your muscles. Sourdough raw (rare) honey breakfast. Liver pâté. Six oysters. Fatty fish. Lucky blueberry. And of course, a slice of basque cheesecake for your soul.

If you want to understand WHY people get healthy, or stay sick, and how to reverse chronic disease at the source, join us in 2026 to take your understanding of metabolic health to the next level. MetFix Foundations is a two day in-person course that will change the way you coach, train, and think about health. The content in the foundations course is designed to equip coaches with the knowledge and tools to reverse chronic disease and optimize human performance. Metabolic dysfunction is at the heart of our chronic disease epidemic. This course explains metabolism, bioenergetics, hormone systems, and how to control them for better health, better performance, and better quality of life.

Seed oils increase appetite via effects on insulin sensitivity depriving the body of energy while making adipocytes lipophilic. The double bonds in the fatty acid increase the NADH:FADH2 ratio preventing the natural reactive oxygen signal in the mitochondria from triggering satiety. There are other data showing why they could be bad, but this is primary.

Really cool study by @TyBealPhD The pattern of eating optimal for the human organism seems more and more obvious the longer you study this subject. Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some starch, little fruit, no sugar or seed oils. This is naturally a diet higher in fat, moderate in protein, and lower in carbohydrate density. From what I've seen this type of diet enhances metabolic health and performance in athletes willing to be patient with adaptation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@ChrisPalmerMD notes: People often say mental illness is genetic, but that is only part of the story. Take one of the most researched genes, TaqIA. It has been linked to addiction and a range of psychiatric conditions, while also playing a role in how the body manages energy and distributes nutrients. In other words, mental health and metabolism are closely connected. But here is the important distinction: Your genes may influence your susceptibility to both mental and metabolic issues, but they do not determine your outcome. What matters most is your environment, including your inputs, habits, and lifestyle, and those are things you can actually change psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/advanc…

@TheFittestDoc She must have an amazing mindset

Most people half her actual age could not even start what she just finished.

@321gaux An important reflection for sure!

How much of your ambition is borrowed from other people’s desires?

Fatty liver disease is the most common liver problem worldwide. But do you know where that fat comes from? The mistaken view is that this fat originates from within the liver itself (i.e., the liver creates it). While this accounts for some of the liver fat, the majority comes from fat tissue itself. But! The conditions need to be right--there are two parts of this. The first is the fat cells releasing a high amount of free fatty acids. The second is equally important: insulin levels need to be elevated. The combination of high insulin and high free fatty acids is a metabolic anomaly--this shouldn't happen. But, it does happen when fat cells becomes insulin resistant with excess growth. In this state, the body has high insulin (always present in insulin resistance), but the too-fat fat cells don't respond to the insulin, and they continue releasing free fatty acids in the midst of the elevated insulin. So, with fatty liver we shouldn't look at the liver itself as the problem, but rather the misbehaving fat cells.

The ketogenic diet may change brain function, at least in part, through changes in the gut. In this new study, researchers transferred feces from ketogenic diet–fed mice into other mice… and reversed a core schizophrenia-associated brain deficit (sensorimotor gating). Diet impacts the gut, which impacts the brain, which might impact signs and symptoms of schizophrenia. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
