You try to exercise or at least move throughout the day. You try to get good sleep. Maybe you've even tried tracking your food, tried fasting, tried keto, or even tried a GLP-1. But here's what almost nobody tells you. The answer isn't more restriction, more intensity, another diet, another protocol, or another supplement stack. Doing all of this at the wrong time can not only keep you stuck but also set you back. This was never about doing more. It's about doing the right thing, in the right order, for your body. In this video, I'll show you the full spectrum, from disease to dysfunction to healthy to resilient. So you can see where you actually stand. Then we'll run a quick capacity check across the three things your whole metabolism runs on. So, by the end, you'll know your one constraint. The single thing to fix first, before anything else can move. You're not lazy. You're not failing. And you don't need to do more. You just need the right thing, in the right order. Let's find out where to start. Learn more about working with me and join the waitlist: https://medgeeks.co/consult/work-with-me/

My Creating Health Protocol: https://functional.medgeeks.co/waitlist Besides weight loss, can anything else reverse fatty liver? In this podcast, you'll learn which nutrition and exercise changes can reduce liver fat, why normal liver enzymes don't rule it out, and what you may be overlooking, from sleep apnea to nutrient deficiencies. Everything is backed by the evidence. Leave with a clear picture of what can improve within weeks, what takes longer, and how to track progress.
Built for More: https://health.medgeeks.co/ In this podcast, I cover where the RDA came from, why the nitrogen balance method it's based on undercounts, and what newer research says the real requirement looks like. We'll also get into why the body doesn't need protein at all, and why leucine in particular matters more than total grams. From there, we'll go through how the requirement changes with muscle building, calorie deficits, aging, GLP-1 medications, and illness. Then finish with protein quality, the difference between plant and animal sources, and a few label pitfalls like collagen and amino spiking that make people think they're eating more protein than they are
The lifestyle intensive: https://lifestyle.medgeeks.co/ Muscle does more than move you; it helps shape how you age. Explore the connection between exercise, mitochondria, and metabolic health, and learn how staying active helps preserve strength and function over time. "Use it or lose it" starts at the cellular level.
The Metabolic Roadmap: https://roadmap.medgeeks.co/ Seed oils may be the most polarized topic in nutrition. One side calls them a primary driver of inflammation, obesity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic disease. The other points to lower LDL and observational data linking higher linoleic acid levels to better cardiovascular outcomes. So are they harmful? Are they safe? Or is the answer more nuanced than either side wants to admit? Truth is, both sides are wrong. Let's dive in.
