Brian sits down with Erin Martin, CEO/founder of Fresh RX Oklahoma and co-lead of the Oklahoma Food Is Medicine Policy Coalition. They discuss her background in gerontology, early work in long-term care, and observations that U.S. older adults average 15+ prescriptions, contrasting with healthier aging and cultural differences she saw in Italy. She describes launching Fresh RX during the pandemic with $185,000 to prescribe locally sourced, low-pesticide food plus lifestyle education for type 2 diabetes patients in North Tulsa, now serving 500+ patients via 22 clinics, measuring biometrics and cost savings with a reported 4–5x ROI. They discuss scaling Food Is Medicine through insurance, bridging it with regenerative sourcing, planned nutrient-density testing, and Erin's shift from veganism to eating beef, bone broth, and marrow. 02:55 Meeting at Sovereignty Ranch 04:37 Erin’s Early Gerontology Path 07:15 Regenerative Ag and Hope 08:31 Aging in Italy vs US 12:44 Myths of Aging and Genetics 17:37 Fresh RX in Oklahoma 22:15 Insurance and Policy Momentum 28:32 Bridging Food and Regeneration 31:33 Sourcing Standards Gap 32:13 Accountable FIM Act 34:04 Hill Briefing Explained 34:46 Three Program Types 35:58 Measuring Food Quality 37:09 Nutrient Density Testing 39:36 Meat Dairy Debate 41:01 Aging Protein Myths 43:18 Keto Meets FIM 51:13 Fermented Feed Beef 54:06 Older Adults Can Change 58:25 Leaving Veganism Benefits GET BEEF TALLOW PRODUCTS AND OYSTER PILLS http://NosetoTail.org FREE SAPIEN FOOD GUIDE http://sapien.org Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg

📢 Ask Dr. Bikman’s Digital Mind (multilingual): https://benbikman.com/ben-bikmans-digital-ai-mind 📢 Dr. Bikman’s Community & Coaching Site: https://insuliniq.com Topic: Peripheral neuropathy is not caused by high glucose alone, but by the combined effects of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and glycemic variability. Protecting nerves requires improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose swings—not just lowering A1C. Summary: Dr. Bikman explains why peripheral neuropathy is not simply a “high blood sugar” problem. While hyperglycemia clearly damages nerves, the story is more complex—especially in type 2 diabetes, where intensive glucose control does not prevent neuropathy nearly as well as it does in type 1 diabetes. Dr. Bikman argues that neuropathy is driven by three interacting metabolic forces: chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and glycemic variability. He begins by defining peripheral neuropathy as damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, most commonly appearing first in the feet and toes because the longest nerves are often affected earliest. He then explains how excess glucose damages nerves through the sorbitol pathway, oxidative stress, glycation, and inflammation. But glucose is only one part of the problem. The second pillar is insulin resistance. Peripheral nerves and their support cells, especially Schwann cells, need insulin signaling to maintain healthy myelin and nerve repair. When insulin signaling fails, nerves lose an important trophic support system even before glucose becomes severely elevated. The third pillar is glycemic variability, or repeated glucose swings, which may damage nerves beyond what A1C alone can reveal. The key takeaway is that protecting nerves requires more than lowering average blood sugar. It requires improving insulin sensitivity, reducing glucose swings, stabilizing post-meal responses, and addressing the metabolic dysfunction that damages nerves from multiple directions.

In this episode of Hey Sister Girl, Gie Brown and Robyn Herron have a real conversation about the habits, excuses, and patterns that keep people stuck. Sometimes it’s not lack of knowledge. Sometimes it’s not lack of motivation. Sometimes the truth is… you already know what to do. This episode is about getting honest with yourself, making real decisions, and moving different this week. We talk about: • Why people keep starting over • The small lies people tell themselves daily • Why consistency matters more than motivation • How to stop drifting and start deciding • Building simple habits that actually work • Telling yourself the truth so you can heal Your body responds to what you repeat. If your results haven’t changed, your pattern probably hasn’t changed either. This is real talk, real solutions, real change. WHO THIS SHOW IS FOR This episode is for the people who are tired of being controlled by systems that profit from their pain. It’s for anyone ready to take back their health, break free from addiction, and stop living as a customer in the sickness industry. We’re speaking directly to those battling diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune disease — the five most common illnesses that start with what’s on our plates. If that’s you or someone you love, share this message with them. Healing starts with truth, and truth starts here.

Thanks for the opportunity @animaldocfilm We really do live in an era with a Disney worldview of plants as completely benign. But plants defend themselves. They produce compounds to protect against predators. Oxalic acid is one of those compounds. It's found in spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, chard, and many other "superfoods" we're told to eat daily. For most of human history, plants were seasonal. You ate what was available when it was available. Your body had breaks. Now we have everything 365 days a year, and we're seeing the consequences in kidney disease, joint pain, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. The idea that animal foods cause modern disease while plants are harmless needs to be questioned. #oxalates #sallyknorton #toxicsuperfoods #animalfoods #plantdefense #carnivore #ancestralhealth #moderndisease #heartdisease #realfood

📢 Ask Dr. Bikman’s Digital Mind (multilingual): https://benbikman.com/ben-bikmans-digital-ai-mind 📢 Dr. Bikman’s Community & Coaching Site: https://insuliniq.com Topic: The vagus nerve is a major communication line between the brain and abdominal organs, helping regulate liver glucose output, gut-brain signaling, and pancreatic insulin secretion. When this neural system is disrupted—by obesity, inflammation, surgery, or altered autonomic balance—nutrient handling and metabolic control can suffer. Summary: Dr. Bikman explores the vagus nerve and its role in nutrient handling, with special attention to the pancreas and insulin secretion. The vagus is the major neural pathway connecting the brain to the metabolic organs of the abdomen, including the gut, pancreas, and liver. Rather than acting only as a motor nerve, it is predominantly sensory, constantly relaying information from the viscera back to the brain while also carrying signals downward that shape digestion, glucose regulation, and hormone release. He explains how the vagus helps regulate liver glucose output, gut-brain communication, and pancreatic beta cell function. He highlights the cephalic phase insulin response, the small early release of insulin triggered by seeing, smelling, tasting, or anticipating food before blood glucose even rises. While this effect is more clearly established in animals than in humans, the evidence suggests it may play a meaningful role in normal meal handling and may be impaired in obesity and metabolic disease. The lecture also examines what happens when the vagus is altered surgically or electrically. Cutting or blocking the vagus can reduce insulin responses to oral glucose and meaningfully affect body weight and glycemic control, while stimulating it through external devices may influence autonomic tone and possibly metabolism. The larger takeaway is that the vagus nerve is not peripheral to metabolism—it is a central regulator of how the brain and abdominal organs coordinate nutrient handling.

It's heartbreaking to hear about your kidney diagnosis, @bethennyfrankel . And even more heartbreaking that your doctor doesn't know water isn't your main medicine for protecting your kidneys. Your kidneys need protection from the major universal kidney toxin. According to researchers, oxalic acid is that toxin. Research states that oxalate is "a terminal toxic metabolite with no known physiological function in humans" and causes "cytotoxic damage to oxalate-induced inflammation and necrosis" in kidney tissue. Oxalate is "strongly involved in inflammatory pathways, which makes it a prime candidate to contribute to progression of CKD and systemic inflammation." Calcium oxalate stones are the most common kidney stones. About 10% of people develop one during their lifetime. Your doctor is right about turmeric. It's high in oxalate. But the bigger issue is the other high-oxalate foods you've been eating regularly. Sweet potatoes, spinach, nuts, sesame seeds. These damage kidneys through oxalate accumulation and inflammation. If you're looking to protect your kidneys from stones, 4 ounces (120ml) of lemon juice daily can help. Citrate inhibits calcium oxalate crystallization. But you need the full therapeutic dose. The best way to protect your kidneys is simple. Learn which foods are high in oxalate and stop eating too much of them. It's not about supplements. It's about lowering your toxin exposure.

Most people think new health guidelines mean progress. But what if the system still leads to the same outcome? In this episode of Hey Sister Girl, we connect last week’s conversation about the healthcare “web” to the new heart association guidelines—and ask the real question: 👉 Are you being helped… or managed? We break down: • What actually improved in the guidelines • What hasn’t changed • How food still drives the cycle • Why outcomes matter more than recommendations This is not about fear. This is about awareness. Because once you see the system… you can decide what role you want to play in it. 🔗 JOIN US FREE Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/heysistergirl Work with Gie https://giebrown.com

Bethenny's "supermodel breakfast" is grilled sweet potato slices with sesame seeds. I can relate. Sweet potatoes are delicious when they're roasted and get all sugary and gooey. I used to eat them for breakfast every morning too. And I destroyed my health doing it. I couldn't sleep. I lost my job because I couldn't function. I was bleeding to death with fibroids. Back pain. My brain was waking me up 29 times an hour. Thank you, sweet potatoes. Both sweet potatoes and sesame seeds are very high in oxalic acid. It's a natural compound that's neurotoxic, bad for your bones, and horrible for your kidneys and the rest of your body. Sweet potatoes can contain anywhere from 45 mg to 470 mg of oxalate per cup depending on variety and preparation. Sesame seeds can range from 40 mg to 850 mg per ounce. This "supermodel breakfast" could easily pack 300-800 mg of oxalate in one sitting. That's a lot for your body to handle, especially first thing in the morning when you're trying to start your day. The oxalate accumulates in your tissues. It damages your mitochondria. It triggers inflammation. It binds up the minerals you need. And the symptoms can take years to connect back to what you're eating because they come on gradually and show up in ways that seem completely unrelated to diet. I made this mistake. Please don't follow me or @bethennyfrankel in eating sweet potatoes for breakfast. There are better options that won't slowly wreck your health.
