What if the root cause of heart disease isn’t cholesterol… but metabolic dysfunction? In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters , I sit down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia — a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, metabolic health expert, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table. Once an overweight surgeon facing his own pre-diabetes, Dr. Ovadia reversed his health through a low-carb, nutrient-dense lifestyle and discovered something medicine had missed for decades: that heart disease isn’t a plumbing problem — it’s a metabolic one. Together, we explore how the medical system lost its way, why lowering cholesterol hasn’t fixed heart disease, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and lifestyle are at the true core of cardiovascular dysfunction. We also talk about the courage it takes to question medical dogma — and why doing so may be the only way to reclaim real health. Dr. Ovadia’s mission today is simple but revolutionary: to keep people off the operating table by empowering them to understand, measure, and repair their own metabolic health. His work is a bridge between cardiology and oncology, reminding us that nearly all chronic disease stems from the same broken terrain.

In this illuminating episode of Metabolic Matters , I sit down with Jane Hogan , known as The Wellness Engineer — a woman who transformed her own crippling rheumatoid arthritis into a catalyst for deep healing and purpose. After reversing her pain naturally, Jane left behind a 30-year engineering career to help thousands of others rewire their relationship with pain through science, breath, and self-compassion. Blending functional medicine, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, Jane teaches that pain isn’t just a physical condition — it’s the body’s way of asking for safety. Together, we explore how to move beyond management into true transformation by calming the nervous system and reclaiming your power as the engineer of your own healing. Jane’s story is living proof that chronic pain can become the very teacher that leads us back to wholeness. Her message is both scientific and soulful — that healing doesn’t come from fighting the body, but from teaching it how to feel safe again. If you’ve ever been told your pain is permanent, this conversation will help you see it through a new lens — one of hope, empowerment, and possibility.

In this deeply moving episode of Metabolic Matters , I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, Gail Fuller , a farmer, healer, and visionary who has redefined what it means to steward both land and life. Gail’s journey took him from running a 3,200-acre industrial corn and soybean operation to nurturing a 162-acre regenerative food farm. Along the way, he discovered that true healing—whether of soil, food, or self—begins with remembering our relationship to nature. What unfolds in our conversation is not just about farming. It’s about trauma and truth, community and courage, soil and soul. Gail courageously shares his personal reckoning with mental health and the silent crisis faced by farmers across America, reminding us that healing our land and healing ourselves are inseparable journeys. Upcoming Event I am thrilled to share that Gail will be joining us as a speaker at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025 .

What happens when a top-tier radiation oncologist walks away from a thriving career to pursue a deeper truth in healing? In this powerful and profoundly moving conversation, Dr. Nasha Winters is joined by Dr. Katie Deming , a board-certified radiation oncologist, TEDx speaker, and founder of Make Mary , a line of healing garments for women with cancer. Together, they dive into the intersection of science, spirit, and systems—and the life-altering experiences that led Dr. Deming to redefine what it truly means to heal. Dr. Deming shares her transformational journey from conventional medicine into holistic healing after a shared-death experience cracked open her worldview. She reflects on the power of intuitive knowing , trauma’s role in disease , and the importance of language in cancer care —including her deep discomfort with the word “survivor” and the problematic battle metaphors often used in oncology. This is a heartfelt, hopeful episode that reminds us healing is possible—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How a shared-death experience inspired Dr. Deming to leave Western medicine Why words like “survivor” can unintentionally harm patients—and what to say instead The profound role of emotional trauma and the nervous system in chronic disease How German New Medicine and Psych-K inform her new model of care The transformational potential of prolonged water fasting , not just physically but spiritually Stories of radical remission, intuitive awakenings, and redefining what “healthcare” can mean 🧠 Guest Bio: Dr. Katie Deming is an integrative oncologist, inventor, and TEDx speaker who is redefining cancer prevention, treatment, and healing. After 20 years as a high-ranking radiation oncologist and medical leader, she transitioned into a holistic model of care that supports the emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing of her clients. She is also the host of the Born to Heal podcast and a respected voice in the movement to re-humanize medicine. 🧭 Episode Resources 🔗 Learn more: www.katiedeming.com 🎧 Listen to her podcast: Born to Heal 📕 Ultimate Guide to Water Fasting for Healing Cancer and Chronic Illness: ⁠ https://www.katiedeming.com/prolonged-water-fasting/ ⁠ 🔗 Connect with Dr. Katie Deming: Website: https://www.katiedeming.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiedemingmd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katiedemingmd Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@katiedemingmd 💬 Subscribe, Share & Review: Loved this episode?

What if the prescription for better health started in the soil—not the pharmacy? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Neil Smith, regenerative agriculture advisor, farmer, and co-founder of the Grow blockchain project (kohima.io). With decades of hands-on experience and a mission rooted in abundance, Neil is helping farmers—and communities—redefine what it means to heal, from the land up. From soil remediation to landscape restoration, and from decentralized systems to local food sovereignty, Neil shares how Web3 technologies are creating new opportunities for farmers to reclaim their data, their profits, and their purpose. It’s a conversation about systems thinking, global health, and why healthy soil is the most overlooked cornerstone of public wellness. 🔑 What You’ll Learn: Why Neil believes regenerative agriculture is a “system of systems” that holds the key to true health and resilience. How blockchain and decentralization are empowering farmers to own their data and transform the food supply chain. The emotional and financial obstacles traditional farmers face—and how Neil guides them through change with compassion and strategy. Why the food you eat is only as good as the soil it came from. How intentionality, ancestry, and ancient wisdom still have a place in modern ecological design. 🌾 Key Topics Discussed: The broken narratives around “organic” and “regenerative” labeling. The link between glyphosate, public health decline, and deceptive supply chains. Transitioning from conventional to regenerative farming without losing your livelihood. Localizing food economies through decentralization. Neil’s call to consumers: Know your farmer. Ask more questions. Demand transparency. 🔗 Connect w/ Neil Smith: 🌍 Learn more about Neil’s work: https://www.growunited.com 🌿 Explore Kohima: http://kohima.io Grow United Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegrowrenaissance/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growunited1/ Website: www.growunited.com Twitter (X): https://x.com/grow_united Twitter (X): https://x.com/kohima_io YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGrowRenaissance Discord: https://discord.gg/grow 💬 Subscribe, Share & Review: Loved this episode?

What if we’ve been looking at cancer all wrong? In this riveting episode, Dr. Nasha Winters welcomes Dr. Robert Nagourney—renegade oncologist, cancer biologist, and trailblazer in functional profiling and metabolomics. For over 30 years, Dr. Nagourney has challenged the dogma of protocol-based oncology, focusing instead on what truly matters: how the patient's biology responds to treatment. Together, they unpack why cancer isn't just a problem of too much growth , but rather too little death , and how shifting our focus to metabolic function could radically transform cancer care—from diagnosis through remission and prevention. This is a deeply personal and highly technical conversation filled with clinical wisdom, paradigm-shifting insights, and genuine hope for the future of oncology. Key Takeaways: Why cancer is not primarily a growth disease, but a failure of cell death. The real meaning of “personalized medicine”—and how most current approaches miss the mark. What “functional profiling” is and how it doubles treatment response rates in patients. How Dr. Nagourney uses tissue assays to select therapies with precision—before gene panels even return results. What metabolomics is, and why it’s the next frontier in both early detection and prevention. The difference between apoptosis and programmed cell death—and why that nuance matters. What it means to quantify life and how Dr. Nagourney’s new blood-based testing could identify cancer risk before symptoms ever arise. A hopeful look at curing incurable cancers—and the patients who beat the odds. About Dr. Robert Nagourney, MD: Dr. Robert Nagourney, MD, is the founder of the Nagourney Cancer Institute and a globally recognized expert in the field of functional oncology. With over three decades of clinical experience, he has pioneered the use of tissue-based assays to guide cancer therapy and is now leading a new wave of innovation with metabolomics—a biochemical approach that could revolutionize how we detect, treat, and ultimately prevent cancer. His work has contributed to the development of several major treatment regimens and has helped patients with so-called “untreatable” cancers find hope.
