How Sugar and Seed Oils Break Cellular Satiety
Clip from the MetFix Foundations Seminar
This clip from the MetFix Foundations Seminar uses a nightclub analogy to explain how diet drives insulin resistance and chronic disease. In the analogy, insulin is a promoter, encouraging nutrients into the club (the cell), while Ross the bouncer (ROS) regulates entry. Normally, the system works, but excess refined carbs and seed oils trick the bouncer into letting in too much, overcrowding the cell. This leads to leakage (free fatty acids spilling into the bloodstream), rigid cell walls, and eventually systemic insulin resistance.

A Calorie Deficit cannot EVER exist
Dr. Jason Fung explains why
A calorie deficit is a myth. Your body is not a simple calculator where you just subtract calories and lose fat. In this video, Dr. Jason Fung explains the science behind why focusing only on calories fails, and why hormones, insulin, and fat metabolism are the real keys to healthy and lasting weight loss.

Risky Prescribing and the Epidemic of Deaths From Falls
JAMA Health Forum Commentary
The widespread prescribing of “fall risk–increasing drugs” (FRIDs)—including sedatives, antidepressants, and antihypertensives—may be fueling the sharp rise in fall-related deaths among older adults. 90% of adults over 65 take prescription medications, and nearly half are on multiple FRIDs simultaneously. This author argues that clinicians should weigh the risks of polypharmacy more carefully, especially in vulnerable older populations, and call for stronger prescribing oversight to mitigate preventable harm.

High-carb or low-carb for exercise
Low and high carbohydrate isocaloric diets on performance, fat oxidation, glucose and cardiometabolic health in middle age males
This study compared 31-day low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) and high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HCLF) diets in competitive middle-aged male runners, keeping calories and training constant. Both diets produced equivalent high-intensity performance, but LCHF led to record-high fat oxidation rates, reduced average and variability of glucose, and improved glycemic control—especially in athletes with prediabetic glucose levels on HCLF. While LCHF increased total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol, the results suggest carbohydrate restriction can improve metabolic health without impairing performance.

What is the Cause of Obesity?
How “Logic” Can Lead One Astray
In this presentation, Dr. Richard Johnson explored why obesity and related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and Alzheimer’s have surged since the late 19th century. He argues that traditional calorie-centric views overlook the deeper evolutionary and biochemical drivers of these diseases. Drawing on animal studies and historical trends, he shows how humans, like hibernating bears or migrating birds, are wired to store fat in response to environmental cues. In nature, fructose signals animals to overeat and conserve energy before periods of scarcity, but in today’s world of constant sugar availability—especially from processed foods and high-fructose corn syrup—this ancient survival mechanism has become maladaptive.

Productive Application of Force
The actual goal when seeking strength
Strength, when viewed in isolation, can be described as the contractile potential of muscle—the ability of muscles to contract forcefully and generate power. Yet, as Coach Glassman points out in this lecture excerpt, that definition is incomplete. Measuring strength only in this narrow sense reveals little about its practical value in real-world performance, much like relying solely on VO₂ max says little about a person’s true capacity or athleticism.
