• Built to Last: Muscle, Longevity, and Training Smarter | Dr. Andy Galpin | The Metabolic Link Ep. 76

  Muscle isn’t just about strength or performance — it’s metabolic armor. In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Andy Galpin sits down with hosts Victoria Field and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino to show how muscle, cardio fitness, and bone density work together to protect against decline and extend healthspan. From women’s training and recovery practices to kids in the weight room, Dr. Galpin translates decades of research into practical strategies anyone can use.Big questions Dr. Galpin helps answer:How does muscle mass protect against metabolic decline and early mortality?What’s the safest, most effective on-ramp to rebuild bone density and explosiveness after 40?When is fasted training useful for women, and when is it counterproductive?How early can kids start resistance training — and what should it look like?Which recovery practices are underrated (free) versus overrated (pricey)?Dr. Andy Galpin is a tenured full professor and human performance scientist with a PhD in Human Bioenergetics and an MS in Human Movement Sciences. He previously ran the Center for Sport Performance and the Biochemistry & Molecular Exercise Physiology Lab at Cal State Fullerton, and now serves as Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications, coaches elite athletes across the UFC, NBA, MLB, NFL, Olympics, and special forces, and is the host of the Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin podcast, where he shares insights from two decades of working with world-class performers.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here!✅ Branch Basics - Get 15% off your Premium Starter Kit here✅ iRestore - Get a huge discount on the iRestore Illumina Face Mask when you use the code METABOLICLINK hereIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

• Redefining Recovery: A Metabolic Approach to Plastic Surgery | Cameron Chesnut, MD | The Metabolic Link Ep.75

  Plastic surgery meets metabolic medicine.Dr. Cameron Chesnut isn't just changing faces - he's changing the entire surgical process. In this episode, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino talks with the facial plastic surgeon who’s using ketones, hyperbaric oxygen, red light, and regenerative protocols to optimize brain health, accelerate recovery, and eliminate opioids entirely.Trusted by high performers around the world, Dr. Chesnut is known for delivering natural, rejuvenated, and seemingly untouched results through minimally invasive procedures. His practice integrates regenerative medicine, metabolic science, and next-level recovery techniques — all grounded in a personal performance protocol as refined as his surgical outcomes.In this episode, he and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino unpack the future of surgical care: ketones for cognitive protection, hyperbaric oxygen for faster healing, red light and PEMF for recovery, and the anesthesia protocols he uses to avoid post-op brain fog — and eliminate opioids altogether.This isn’t cosmetic — it’s clinical strategy. And it could change the face of plastic surgery as we know it.Where to find Dr. Chesnut online:InstagramAboutStart Your Journey Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here.✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

• Reversing Alzheimer's Disease | Dr. Dale Bredesen | The Metabolic Link Ep.74

  Did you know that over 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s—and that number is expected to nearly double by 2050? Despite decades of research and billions spent, most treatments only offer minimal slowing of symptoms.But what if we’ve been approaching this disease all wrong?In this powerful episode of The Metabolic Link, host Victoria Field sits down with renowned neurologist, researcher, and bestselling author Dr. Dale Bredesen. He shares how Alzheimer’s isn’t caused by one thing—and why he says a single-pill solution is a fundamentally flawed approach. Dr. Bredesen discusses his 30+ years of research into cognitive decline, the systems-based ReCODE Protocol that’s showing incredible success in reversing symptoms, and why early detection is everything.From brain biomarkers to root causes like inflammation, toxins, and metabolic dysfunction, this is a masterclass on how we can take action—long before symptoms take hold.🎯 Plus: In honor of World Alzheimer's Month, we're hosting a Live Q&A with Dr. Bredesen on Sept 4th at 9AM PT/12PM ET — FREE with a 7-day trial of our medical education platform, the Metabolic Initiative.

With over a decade of experience and a PhD focused on ketogenic diets for depression, Dr. Bellamy offers deep insight into the mechanisms driving psychiatric disease - including brain hypometabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and insulin resistance - and how KMT targets these shared biological pathways.This conversation explores real-world implementation of ketogenic therapy in patients with diagnoses such as PTSD, ADHD, binge eating disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. Dr. Bellamy also shares her recently published case study demonstrating transdiagnostic remission using KMT, along with the clinical protocols, macronutrient ratios, and outcomes she’s seeing in her group and one-on-one programs.Whether you’re a psychiatrist, psychologist, or healthcare professional interested in emerging metabolic therapies for mental health, this episode offers valuable clinical and translational insights into a rapidly evolving field.👉 Register for the LIVE Q&A with Dr. Bellamy on August 19th at 8am PT / 11am ET at https://membership.metabolicinitiative.com/bellamySpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit here (use code METABOLICLINK) In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.
