Tatsiana is a CPA, and she moved to the Texas from Belarus when she was 20. Tatsiana shares her unique and humorous entry into intermittent fasting—prompted by wanting to match her stated weight on a life insurance application after a festive Fourth of July. She recounts her quick initial weight loss, how a serendipitous YouTube video introduced her to Gin’s book Fast Feast Repeat, and her realization that a “clean fast” made a difference. Tatsiana describes that, although she never struggled significantly with her weight growing up in Belarus, moving to America exposed her to a drastically different food culture and led to weight fluctuations, especially after having children.

Tatsiana reminisces about her childhood in Belarus with seasonal, simple foods, and homemade sweets being the norm. She contrasts this experience with her first exposure to America’s abundance of processed foods and shares how returning home helped her effortlessly lose the weight she’d gained during her stay. The conversation naturally moves to food traditions—like gardening and preserving homegrown vegetables at her family's summer house (dacha)—and reflects on how these habits cultivated appreciation for natural, unprocessed foods. Tatsiana finds it amusing that what was once a necessity is now recognized as the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.

Her health journey gained depth when she started to focus on what foods make her feel best and support her long-term well-being. Tatsiana opens up about testing various diet strategies like Whole30, experimenting with plant-based cooking inspired by Dr. Fuhrman, and participating in Zoe’s program to learn more about her body. She shares insights from wearing a continuous glucose monitor, revealing how her body handles sugar and fats, and describes small but significant lifestyle upgrades, such as switching to cleaner water and crowding out processed snacks with vegetables. Tatsiana explains that intermittent fasting, once started for weight loss, gradually led her to a sustainable pattern of eating that emphasizes health and nourishment over dieting.

To wrap up, Tatsiana offers encouragement to those just starting out: arm yourself with knowledge and do intermittent fasting the right way—she especially recommends reading Fast Feast Repeat for clear guidance. Tatsiana emphasizes that it’s all about making steady progress with small, lasting changes, not perfection or overnight results. Most importantly, she reminds listeners that this is a lifestyle, not a diet to start and stop, and urges everyone to approach fasting and healthier living one baby step at a time.

Episode 477: Tatsiana Bender

Saturated fat -- not eggs -- is the key culprit behind high LDL cholesterol, which can lead to cardiovascular disease And in fact, a diet low in saturated fat and high in dietary cholesterol, such as that found in eggs, can lower blood cholesterol levels. This -- according to a new study from researchers at the University of South Australia.   But what are we to make of this study, which received funding from an offshoot of the American Egg Board, an organization focused on marketing and promoting eggs?   Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on this episode of The Exam Room to tell us what he makes of these findings, and to answer your questions about saturated fats, dietary cholesterol and eggs.   In this episode of The Exam Room, you'll learn:   - Whether eggs raise cholesterol for everyone - Whether eggs egg whites and free-range eggs are healthier options - Dr. Barnard's favorite egg substitutes - Whether eggs or meat and dairy have a greater impact on cholesterol - How many eggs are safe to eat per week - How saturated fat influences cholesterol absorption - How quickly eggs can raise cholesterol - Genetic factors that influence cholesterol   This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.   — — SHOW LINKS — — Gregory J.

#357: Unlocking YOUTH: The Future of Regeneration (Cell Factor and Peptides) | From Pain to Power, Hair Growth & Healing Chronic Inflammation with Arvind Chakravarthy & Sanjiv Lal

Omega-3 fatty acids have long been lauded for heart health benefits. Yet, emerging research now points to an even more profound impact, directly on our most complex organ: the brain. 

Today, we delve into the critical, often misunderstood, role of omega-3s in cognitive function, mental well-being, and even the prevention of neurodegenerative conditions like dementia.

We are joined by Dr. Bill Harris, a globally recognised authority in omega-3 fatty acid research.  Bill is a Professor at the University of South Dakota and has over 300 peer-reviewed publications. His foundational work includes pioneering studies on fish oil in the 1980s and shaping American Heart Association scientific statements. 

In this episode, Dr. Harris - along with ZOE's Chief Scientist Professor Sarah Berry - illuminate why most individuals may be operating with suboptimal omega-3 levels, and the tangible implications this has for mood regulation, anxiety, and long-term brain resilience.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers dives into the dangers of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), one of the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide. You’ll learn why PPIs, though effective for acid reflux, can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer, and nutrient deficiencies. Dr. Jockers explains how these medications only mask symptoms without addressing the root cause.   Discover how low stomach acid, not high acid, is often behind acid reflux and how PPIs can worsen digestion and overall health. Dr. Jockers shares practical strategies to naturally manage acid reflux, focusing on lifestyle and dietary changes rather than relying on medication.   Find out how long-term use of PPIs can increase your risk of early death, as well as the alternative solutions that actually promote better digestion and overall health. Tune in to understand why healing your gut should be the priority over simply masking symptoms.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) 00:17 The Dangers of Blood Sugar Imbalances 02:27 Podcast Introduction and Overview 04:24 The Most Dangerous Medication: PPIs 05:16 How PPIs Affect Your Body 14:21 Natural Remedies and Lifestyle Changes 17:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you’re dealing with blood sugar swings, stubborn fat, or constant cravings, Berberine Breakthrough by BiOptimizers could be the game-changer your body needs.

The Most Dangerous Medication in the World and How to Get Off It

📢 Dr. Bikman’s Community &amp; Coaching Site, Insulin IQ: https://insuliniq.comand/or📢 Become an Insider, Ben’s website: https://www.benbikman.comIn this Metabolic Classroom lecture, Ben explores the concept of anabolic resistance—the body’s reduced ability to build and maintain muscle in response to stimuli like protein intake and resistance training.This phenomenon, often associated with aging, also affects individuals with obesity or a sedentary lifestyle. Because muscle health is directly tied to longevity, strength, insulin sensitivity, and independence, understanding and reversing anabolic resistance is critical for long-term metabolic health.Dr. Bikman explains the key drivers of anabolic resistance: reduced anabolic hormone levels, impaired amino acid delivery, inflammation, and cellular changes such as insulin resistance and intramuscular lipid buildup. He emphasizes the central role of the mTOR signaling pathway in muscle protein synthesis, and how factors like age, obesity, and inactivity blunt this response—even when adequate nutrients and exercise are present.The lecture ends with practical strategies to overcome anabolic resistance, including resistance training, high-leucine animal protein intake, creatine, omega-3s, vitamin D3, and even peptides. Ben stresses that building muscle isn’t just about looking good—it’s about preventing frailty, insulin resistance, and loss of independence. Resistance training is non-negotiable, and diet alone will never be enough to restore optimal muscle health.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references, we invite you to become an Insider subscriber.

Protein, Breaking News & Fat Loss: Dr. Don Layman’s Breaking Insights (Recap Part 1)

Today, we’re exploring the connection between your gut and your brain.

For years, the brain was seen as somewhat detached from other parts of our body, working in isolation above all else. However, emerging research is flipping our idea of the brain on its head. Scientists now know that the gut acts like a ‘second brain’, influencing everything from our mood and memory to our risk of neurological disease.

So, have we been neglecting a vital piece of the brain health puzzle? 

Joining me to unpack this topic is Professor John Cryan, a world-leading expert in the gut-brain axis.

The Critical Truth About Vaccine Safety (Everyone Needs to Know!) - With Dr. Joel Warsh

I am thrilled to have Caroline Paul joining me today. She is a New York Times bestselling author, a TEDx speaker, and a longtime member of the Writers Grotto. 

In our discussion, we address the issue of societal messaging about aging, the importance of bravery and resilience, and how invisibility can become a superpower as we age. We explore gender differences and the early conditioning that shapes how boys and girls perceive themselves, the power of awe for brain support, and the benefits of remaining curious and open-minded. We examine the value of novelty and neuroplasticity and unpack the five pillars of fulfilling aging: community health, new experiences, a sense of purpose, and a positive mindset about aging. Caroline also delves into her years as a firefighter, sharing how she practices being present despite being an adrenaline junkie, as well as the importance of rest and recovery.
