In today's episode we're cutting through the noise of trendy "biohacking" and expensive full-body scans to find out which cancer tests actually save lives. Dr. Brad Stanfield explains why more information isn’t always better, citing cautionary tales from South Korea and the UK where over-screening led to thousands of unnecessary surgeries without lowering death rates. We’ll break down the latest evidence-based guidelines for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer, while discussing the nuances of prostate screenings and the controversial rise of full-body MRIs.  Learn what is truly worth your time and health.

In today's episode we're uncovering a major shift in women's health: the FDA's recent reversal on hormone replacement therapy. For decades, millions of women were discouraged from this treatment due to fears sparked by a 2002 study. However, new research shows that for women under 60, these treatments can actually protect heart health and bone strength. We explore how the original study design skewed our understanding and why the FDA has finally removed strict warnings to allow for individual medical decisions.

In today's episode we're exploring a groundbreaking clinical trial that has shifted the clinical perspective on Vitamin D. While massive studies like the VITAL trial previously suggested supplements offered no clear reduction in major heart events, the new TARGET-D trial utilized a personalized "treat-to-target" approach. This novel strategy resulted in a 52% lower risk of recurrent heart attacks for high-risk patients who reached optimal blood levels. We examine the study's strengths and its critical limitations, such as lack of blinding and potential bias, to determine if routine testing is finally justified.

In today's episode we're uncovering the disturbing evidence linking SSRIs to extreme violence and mass shootings. We dive into the sources to explore how these drugs can cause akathisia—a state of severe restlessness that can trigger out-of-character psychoses and violent acts. You’ll learn about clinical trials hidden by manufacturers and the decades-long struggle to include black-box warnings. We discuss tragic cases where psychiatric medications allegedly turned normal individuals into violent offenders. Is the medical establishment ignoring a public safety crisis?

In today's episode we're exposing how modern media and food industries exploit your brain's "orienting response" to keep you hooked. We explore the Dopamine Trap, a deliberate design that swaps lasting serotonin-based happiness for fleeting, hollow spikes. From fast-paced toddler shows causing ADHD-like symptoms to engineered addictive processed foods, your nervous system is being systematically depleted. We discuss how this cycle leads to disconnection and irritability in both children and adults. To understand how this affects you, imagine your nervous system as a high-speed internet cable. Constant dopamine spikes are like power surges that eventually fry the delicate wires, making it impossible to transmit the steady, clear signal of real happiness. Restoring your health is like repairing those wires so you can finally experience the full, vibrant picture of life again.

In today's episode we're uncovering the dark side of common baked goods by examining Potassium Bromate, a powerful oxidizing agent used to strengthen dough. Despite being linked to kidney cancer, thyroid disease, and DNA damage, this additive remains legal in the U.S. while being banned in Europe, Canada, and China. We explore 50 years of research highlighting its toxicity, the recent ban in California, and why it was "grandfathered" into our food supply.  References: https://usrtk.org/chemicals/potassium-bromate/ Support Foodnourish Deep Dives Become a supporter for just 2€ per month.

We explore how your body switches from burning sugar to burning fat between hours 12 and 16.  You’ll learn when cellular cleanup, known as autophagy, begins to recycle damaged proteins. We also cover the surge in Human Growth Hormone that protects your muscles and why the "fasting high" occurs during extended periods. This hour-by-hour guide explains exactly what is happening beneath the surface to optimize your metabolic health.

In today's episode we're diving into the evolving science of your morning brew. We explore how coffee shifted from a 1980s cancer scare to a potential protector against heart disease and stroke. You’ll learn why your brewing method impacts cholesterol levels and how regular drinkers actually adapt to caffeine's immediate effects. We also debunk common myths regarding blood pressure spikes and heart rhythms. Join us as we examine the latest clinical evidence to determine the ideal daily intake for longevity and overall health.

In today's episode we're challenging the belief that cholesterol is the main cause of heart disease. Did you know 75% of heart attack patients have "normal" cholesterol levels? We dive into 50 years of buried data, including the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which showed that lowering cholesterol didn't always save lives—it even increased death risk in some cases. We explore why insulin resistance and inflammation are the real culprits, the side effects of statins, and why your body needs cholesterol for brain health. Learn the markers that truly matter.
