Metabolic Matters

What if a cancer diagnosis became the beginning of a more empowered way of living? In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Laura Lummer shares her journey as a two-time breast cancer survivor, including her 2020 diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.Laura opens up about the shock of being diagnosed despite living a health-conscious life, the difficult realities of conventional treatment, and the mindset shift that changed everything: moving from fighting cancer to supporting her body’s ability to heal.Through an integrative approach, deeper self-trust, and a commitment to joy, healing, and advocacy, Laura discovered a new way forward. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is personal, empowerment matters, and hope is always worth holding onto.Connect with Laura: Website: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/Laura’s Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-than-before-breast-cancer-with-the-breast/id1251292364Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebreastcancerrecoverycoach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LauraLummerTheBreastCancerRecoveryCoach Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifXJdUKDbUMSkSlqCZAWUQ About Your Host: Christina Mason is a lifelong storyteller, educator, and truth-seeker whose journey—from music and teaching to entrepreneurship—has always been guided by curiosity.

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Sakiko Reuterskiöld, founder of NOMOSU, the world’s first taste-award-winning, no-sugar confectionery company. With a Master’s in Personalized Nutrition and deep training in biochemical and metabolic science, Sakiko has dedicated her career to understanding sugar’s impact on the body — and proving that healthy, delicious sweetness is possible.Sakiko shares how her own health transformation began when she removed sugar and discovered the profound shift in energy, clarity, and well-being that followed. But giving up sugar didn’t mean giving up chocolate — instead, it inspired years of research into taste receptors, intestinal function, and the microbiome that led to NOMOSU’s innovative, gut-supportive sweetening system.Together, she and Dr. Nasha unpack why modern sugar intake fuels inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, uric acid imbalance, and cancer risk; why fructose is uniquely damaging; and why so many “natural” sweeteners behave like sugar in the body. Sakiko explains how virgin stevia extract, paired with specific natural compounds, can mimic sugar’s taste and texture without the metabolic cost — and may even improve microbiota diversity and intestinal barrier function.This conversation reframes everything we think we know about sweetness. If you’ve struggled to reduce sugar, felt confused about sweeteners, or wondered whether a truly healthy treat exists, this episode offers clarity, science, and hope.Connect with Sakiko Reuterskiöld and Nomosu: Website: https://nomosu.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sakiko-reuterskiold-nomosu/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomosu/?hl=enAbout Your HostI’m Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

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.Connect with Dr. Philip Ovadia: WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table BookYoutubeFacebookInstagramAbout Your HostI’m Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

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.Connect with Jane: Website:  https://thewellnesssengineer.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JaneHoganHealth/videosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/janehoganhealthInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessengineerAbout Your HostI’m Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

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.
