Diet Confusion Solved! A Functional Medicine MD cuts through the noise (Keto, Paleo, Mediterranean) to reveal the only thing that matters for weight loss. Learn why sleep is 80% of the battle, how Leptin and Ghrelin control hunger, and the hormone testing you need to stop gaining weight. This is Part 2 of the essential guide to weight loss, contrasting GLP-1s and fasting with daily lifestyle factors. Dr. Skelton explains why exercise contributes only 10–20% to weight loss and why Thyroid levels, Leptin, and Cortisol are the real levers of metabolic health. You will learn: Diet Reality: Why Keto, Paleo, and Mediterranean diets all work, but only if they are Whole Food-based and personalized to your body's needs.  The Sleep-Hormone Connection: How poor sleep crashes Leptin (the appetite suppressant) and spikes Ghrelin (the hunger hormone), driving you to crave carbs.   The Cortisol Trap: How financial, work, or relationship stress increases Cortisol, spiking blood sugar and causing insulin resistance and weight gain. The Importance of Testing: Why thyroid, testosterone, vitamin D, and B12 testing are necessary before you start any diet or fasting plan.

WARNING: Considering GLP-1 weight loss drugs (Ozempic/Wegovy/Zepbound)? A Functional Medicine MD breaks down the real side effects—including Gastro-paresis and pancreatitis—and explains why time-restricted eating and fasting are a safer, more sustainable alternative.   This episode is critical for anyone interested in semaglutide (GLP-1s), intermittent fasting, and true health transformation. Dr. Skelton, an experienced ER and Functional Medicine Physician, reveals the mechanics of these drugs (glucagon, insulin, delayed gastric emptying) and exposes why their weight loss benefits may simply be due to appetite suppression and GI distress (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bowel obstruction) rather than metabolic correction. Learn: What GLP-1 actually stands for and its effect on glucagon and insulin production. The alarmingly increased rates of gastro-paresis and bowel obstruction seen in the ER related to these drugs. Why fasting is often a better alternative to Ozempic—and how it burns fat while preserving lean muscle mass and improving HGH and hormone levels.

I'm your host, Dr. Jon Skelton. Now let's get straight to the truth. Welcome to the living life. Well show. I am so glad you're here. And today we're going to talk about stress and the holiday, something nobody ever experiences, right. Well, I know for me personally, , stress is a big deal. , working as an ER doctor every day, my day is different. Probably like a lot [00:01:00] of years. And my world, I go into my work day knowing. I don't know what I'm going to see or how much of it I'm going to see. Everything is unscheduled. Right? And so whether it is somebody coming in with a stubbed toe or heart attack, a stroke. , or anything in between. I don't know what's coming in that day. I don't know whether I'm going to need band-aids or whether I'm going to need chest tubes. What I do know is I can anticipate. That I'm going to be stressed at some point during the day. And that stress is inevitable, right? It happens every single day. And so stress in the holidays, unfortunately go hand in hand quite often. And whether it's the stress of travel, the stress of. [00:02:00] Family the stress of staying up late, not sleeping in your own bed or having company in a, whatever that is, or even just the preparations of getting ready to have the holiday. , there's always going to be stressed. so what I want to do is I want to talk about how we can handle stress and the holiday. So. The number one thing is, Recognize it, recognize that it's inevitable. Even if you don't have a cousin, Eddie in your life, something is going to go, not exactly the way you want it to. So stress is inevitable. So, so number one, you want to recognize that it's going to happen? Anticipate it. I know when I'm working in the ER, there's something that is going to happen. That's unexpected. That's. What stress is right. So number two. I want you to be grateful. Not thankful. [00:03:00] Okay, so there's a subtle difference. So Merriam Webster's online dictionary describes thankful as the consciousness. Of benefit received expressive of thanks. Well, pleased. Grateful sound somewhat similar, but it's a little bit different. Appreciative. Of benefits received. You see, it's not just conscious of the benefit received. It is appreciative of the benefits received. This is kind of the difference between, , somebody, , passing you the salt and you saying thanks. And somebody complimenting you and really. , complimenting you very specifically and not out of a, , rote kind of, , Societal norm. And so you realize that, and you're appreciative of that. It goes on to say that it's expressing [00:04:00] gratitude or fording pleasure or contentment. Pleasing.  Pleasing by reason of comfort supplied, or discomfort alleviated. So gratefulness is when we're seeing that someone has reached down to where we are and they have given a hand up, or they have supplied something that has helped us.  And really, , appreciating that and expressing that is the difference between gratitude and thankfulness. Thankfulness is you see that something was done, but it isn't affecting you internally. why do we want to be grateful? Why am I even talking about this on a, , Um, how to live life? Well podcast. Well, , the, the reason is multifactorial, but, but quite honestly, the truth tells us to write, , [00:05:00] the Greek word. , and I don't speak Greek, so you'll have to forgive me. Eucharisteo (You Harris' stay. Oh). Is used and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: rejoice always, pray continually. Give thanks. (Eucharisteo) in all things for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus Strong's exhaustive concordance definition of Eucharisteo. Is to be grateful. To actively express gratitude towards. so one reason, , to, , express gratitude is because we're told to write. Secondly. So how does being grateful really relate to your health? Well, it can manifest itself physically, mentally, and emotionall
