| 8/24/26 | 197 Weight-Loss Habits | Free Chapter from my book. Your Plate is Your Fate. Free Chapter In this episode we fix your weight loss habits to stop the cycle of overeating. Learn why your daily routines matter more than the food on your plate. Many people focus entirely on food choices when trying to manage their weight, but this approach often misses the root cause. This video breaks down how repetitive behaviors like rushed mornings or uncontrolled nights dictate your eating patterns. If you feel stuck, it is likely because your ingrained daily habits are overriding your dietary goals rather than a need for more medical advice. We examine how to identify specific trigger foods and environmental cues that lead to poor decisions. By addressing these behavioral patterns, you can build a sustainable healthy eating routine that works for your lifestyle. Understanding these mechanisms is the key to achieving consistent weight loss success without relying on restrictive dieting. Subscribe for weekly habit-building breakdowns to improve your health, and comment below with which daily routine you find hardest to manage.

| 8/17/26 | 196: Dr Robert Kiltz Talks Infertility and Weight Loss | Join us LIVE on Zoom Pantry Purge Party In this episode, Dr. Steve and Theresa talk with Dr. Robert Kiltz, a reproductive endocrinologist, OB-GYN, and founder of CNY Fertility. Dr. Kiltz shares his personal health story, his work with people facing infertility, and why he believes food choices, stress, mindset, and faith all play a role in health. Dr. Kiltz explains how his own struggles with migraines, digestive issues, arthritis, psoriasis, kidney stones, and depression led him to explore Paleo, keto, and eventually a mostly carnivore way of eating. He discusses his personal "BABE" approach: bacon, eggs, butter, beef, and salt, along with simple meals and periods of fasting. The conversation explores infertility, the growing number of couples who struggle to conceive, and the importance of asking deeper questions about lifestyle and everyday health habits. Dr. Kiltz shares how he talks with patients about nutrition while also offering conventional fertility care, including testing, medication, surgery, IUI, IVF, and donor options when appropriate. You will also hear a candid discussion about food freedom, cravings, eating for celebrations without making celebrations an everyday habit, and why lasting health changes require more than a short-term diet. Dr. Kiltz closes with a message to stay curious, ask questions, practice self-love, and approach others with kindness and grace. Dr. Kiltz's own health journey moved from Paleo to keto to a mostly carnivore lifestyle, which he says helped him feel better and simplify his eating. He encourages people dealing with infertility to look at the full picture: food, stress, sleep, medications, health history, and available medical fertility treatments. The goal is not a quick weight-loss fix, but building a long-term way of eating that supports health and gives people more freedom around food. He believes small exceptions for special celebrations can fit into life, but turning treats into an everyday habit can make it harder to reach health goals. His final encouragement: be curious, ask better questions, look in the mirror and say "I love you," and treat yourself and others with kindness Note: This episode includes personal opinions and clinical perspectives on nutrition and fertility. Listeners should speak with a qualified healthcare professional before making major changes to diet, fasting, or medications. | — | ||||||
| 8/10/26 | 195: Can You Lose Weight Just by Quitting Sugar and Flour | Join us LIVE on Zoom Pantry Purge Party In this episode, Dr. Steve Hulett explains why weight gain and metabolic dysfunction may be driven less by willpower and more by the daily intake of sugar, flour, and ultra-processed foods. He breaks down how glucose and fructose affect insulin, fat storage, triglycerides, inflammation, and blood sugar, and why removing these foods may help the body shift into fat burning. He also explains how to read ingredient labels more effectively, why total carbohydrates matter more than "added sugar," and why fruit, grains, and starchy foods can still contribute to glucose overload. The episode closes with a practical invitation to clear out the pantry and make food changes that support better energy, clearer thinking, and healthier weight loss. Flour and sugar may be the hidden drivers of fat storage, hunger, and metabolic dysfunction. High insulin is presented as the key hormone that prevents fat burning and promotes fat storage. Fructose is explained as a major contributor to triglycerides, inflammation, gout, and high blood pressure. Total carbohydrates matter more than added sugar when evaluating packaged foods. Eliminating ultra-processed foods, along with sugar and flour, is framed as a simple first step toward better health and weight loss. | — | ||||||

In this episode, Dr. Steve and Theresa sit down with strength coaches Nick and Branda Thornhill to explore why lifting heavy things is one of the most powerful levers for improving metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and long‑term resilience. They discuss how to get started with resistance training at any age, how to progress safely if you are living with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and why muscle is critical "health insurance" for the future. You'll also hear practical tips on programming, recovery, and mindset so you can build strength without living in the gym. Why building and maintaining skeletal muscle is essential for metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and healthy aging, especially for people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes. How to approach "lifting heavy things" safely if you are deconditioned, over 40, or dealing with blood sugar dysregulation, including progression strategies and recovery priorities. Practical guidance on exercise selection, frequency, and intensity so you can get strong in 2–3 focused sessions per week without living in the gym.

| 7/27/26 | 193: Can You Have Weight Loss When You Exercise? | Click here to join our Pantry Purge Party In this episode, the Dr Steve Hughlett explains that whether exercise helps you lose fat depends on your primary fuel source: glucose or fat. The core message is that high insulin from frequent carbohydrate intake keeps the body in storage mode, while keeping insulin low through low-carb or carnivore-style eating helps the body burn stored fat during exercise. The episode walks through how the body uses glucose and fat for ATP, how glycogen storage is limited, and how fat stores provide far more available energy. It also argues that when insulin is elevated, the body stores more fat and cannot access its own fat easily; when insulin is low, fat can be released and used for energy more effectively. A major theme is that exercise becomes a stronger fat-loss tool once the body is adapted to burning fat instead of glucose. The host also encourages lowering carbohydrate intake, using time-restricted eating, and removing ultra-processed foods from the pantry as practical first steps. Your body can run on either glucose or fat, but the episode argues fat is the preferred long-term fuel source. High insulin, usually triggered by eating carbohydrates, pushes the body toward fat storage instead of fat burning. Glucose storage is limited, while body fat represents a much larger and more efficient energy reserve. Exercise burns more body fat when insulin is low and the body is already adapted to using fat for fuel. The episode recommends low-carb eating, time-restricted eating, and removing processed foods to support fat loss and better health.

| 7/20/26 | 192: Weight Loss Interview with Courtney Luna | Courtney Luna spent 25 years yo-yo dieting — Weight Watchers at 13, Paleo, seven years of on-and-off Keto, and a painful detour into "everything in moderation" — before finally landing on strict carnivore. In this episode, the former yacht chef, homeschooling mom, and author of Carnivore in the Kitchen shares how ditching carbs for good helped her lose 60 pounds, get off her anxiety and depression medications, clear decades of acne, and end a lifelong battle with disordered eating. She also explains why "just a little" carb reintroduction cost her 20 pounds and her peace of mind, how her family eats carnivore on the road while living in a van, and why she believes sugar deserves the same zero-tolerance approach as alcohol. [00:00–01:14] Opening Segment — Meet Courtney Luna •Courtney is a former yacht chef turned homeschooling mom and carnivore content creator. •She lost 60 pounds, came off medication for anxiety and depression, cleared lifelong acne, and ended 25 years of disordered eating. •Her family left their California home in January 2026, converted a van, and hit the road full-time. •Her cookbook, Carnivore in the Kitchen, was published in 2024. [01:15–07:33] From Weight Watchers at 13 to Strict Carnivore •Courtney's dieting history: Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, cabbage soup, Special K, Paleo, and seven years of Keto — always chasing weight loss, not health. •Anti-diet culture convinced her to try "everything in moderation" — a slippery slope that led to a 40-pound gain in four months. •Her husband introduced her to Dr. Paul Saladino's content; after research, she tried animal-based eating for six weeks, then went strict carnivore. •Results: lost nearly 60 pounds, came off anxiety and depression medication, cleared her skin — and has kept the weight off for four years. [07:33–12:14] The Relapse: Why "Just a Little" Carbs Backfired •Reintroducing "healthy" carbs like rice, avocado, and fruit led to a 20-pound regain and a return of intrusive, OCD-like thoughts. •Being five years sober from alcohol, Courtney compares carb/sugar addiction directly to alcohol addiction: moderation doesn't work for people wired as "abstainers." •Her advice: figure out whether you're an abstainer or a moderator, and identify your specific trigger foods (for her, it's fruit). •Modern fruit is bred sweeter and larger than it used to be — she calls dried mango "a glorified candy." [12:14–13:20] Lessons From Life as a Yacht Chef •Cooking for wealthy clients on vacation showed Courtney just how sugar-addicted most people are. •Almost every boat she worked on wanted carb-heavy comfort food and desserts — the opposite of what she'd recommend today. [13:20–16:56] Writing Carnivore in the Kitchen •The idea for a cookbook took shape about a year into her carnivore journey; she researched publishers used by Dr. Ken Berry and Maria Emmerich and landed a deal with Victory Belt. •The book took about six months to write and develop recipes, then another six months for editing and photography. •Goal of the book: prove carnivore doesn't have to mean plain steak and eggs — it can be creative, sustainable, and family-friendly. [16:56–18:52] Staples, Recipes, and Meal Prep Tips •Her go-to "gateway" recipe for skeptics: bacon cheeseburger soup. •Keep staples on hand: cooked bacon, salami, hard-boiled eggs, dairy (if tolerated), and pre-cooked proteins like a crockpot roast or a container of cooked chicken. •Batch-cook fun recipes (like carnivore lasagna) to stretch into two or more meals and reduce daily cooking time. [18:52–22:44] No Excuses: Carnivore While Traveling or on a Budget •Courtney's family has eaten carnivore for five months while living in a converted van and staying in Airbnbs — with zero issues finding food. •Fast food burger patties, hard-boiled eggs, and pre-cooked bacon or salami make it possible anywhere. •On cost: people who say carnivore is "too expensive" are often spending more on coffee, energy drinks, and snacks throughout the day — because processed food never truly satisfies. Shop sales and prioritize your budget instead of using cost as an excuse. [22:44–26:11] Feeding Carnivore Kids Without the Power Struggle •Her kids (ages 6 and 8) eat mostly meat and dairy, with some allowed fruit — a choice she still feels slightly conflicted about. •Treats are allowed but kept outside the house (birthday parties, etc.), which she uses as teaching moments about how sugar makes them feel. •She avoids being overly restrictive at home so kids don't "binge" the moment they're at a friend's house — and trusts that a strong nutritional foundation will bring them back to it later in life. [26:11–28:32] Entertaining, Favorite Foods, and Deviled Eggs •For potlucks or guests, Courtney keeps it simple: steaks, a charcuterie platter, and deviled eggs — her go-to dish and personal weakness. •Her daughter loves steak and strawberries; her adventurous son enjoys sushi and hot pot. [28:32–32:43] Conferences, Public Speaking, and the Cookbook's Purpose •Courtney will speak at Hack Your Health and, for the first time, the intentionally small (about 300-person) Keto Palooza conference in Louisville. •Despite calling public speaking terrifying, she keeps saying yes because she feels called to share a message that changes lives. •Her hope for cookbook readers: that it makes feeding a family — including picky kids and dinner guests — creative and sustainable, not just another "steak and eggs" routine. [32:43–39:06] Diet, Depression, and "Type 3 Diabetes" •More people are reporting relief from depression and anxiety medication after switching to carnivore — a topic Courtney says is gaining traction alongside voices like Dr. Chris Palmer and Michaela Peterson on SSRI-related damage. •Because some researchers call Alzheimer's "type 3 diabetes," Courtney draws a direct line between high-carb eating, inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, and brain health. •She discusses the cognitive dissonance and anger some people feel toward carnivore advocates — often because admitting a lifetime of dietary advice was wrong feels threatening. •On a hopeful note: growing public awareness, RFK Jr.'s advocacy, and support for local farmers are shifting the conversation toward real food. [39:06–40:36] Eating Out the Carnivore Way •Even at a Mexican restaurant celebrating an anniversary, Courtney orders fajitas with no shells or sides — proof that eating out doesn't derail the lifestyle. •Her tip: bring your own pork rinds to dip in queso instead of chips. [40:36–43:32] Advice for Anyone on the Fence •Courtney's approach: "rip the band-aid off." Commit to 30 days, but really aim for 90 — she says something "magical" happens around the three-month mark. •Many people don't realize how bad they felt until symptoms — like morning joint pain or after-meal stomach pain from gallbladder issues — disappear. •She questions why the default medical answer to gallbladder problems is removal, rather than addressing the root cause through diet. [43:32–44:25] A Word on Skeptics •Courtney references a well-known dietician (Abby's Kitchen) who publicly refuses to try carnivore despite ongoing health issues — a case study in cognitive dissonance and ego getting in the way of healing. [44:25–45:55] Where to Find Courtney + Closing •Find her everywhere as "Courtney Luna" — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Pinterest. •Pick up her cookbook, Carnivore in the Kitchen, for recipes the whole family can enjoy.

Monterey, VA. www.eventbright.com In this episode, Dr. Steve sits down with circadian health experts Thaddeus Owen and Heidi Sime, co‑founders of DreamWalkers, to explore how "light as medicine" impacts sleep, hormones, mood, weight, and long‑term metabolic health. They unpack why our modern indoor, screen‑dominated lifestyle creates a constant circadian mismatch—and how simple changes in morning sunlight, indoor lighting, blue light exposure, and EMFs can radically improve energy, cravings, and resilience without adding another medication.1 You'll hear real‑world stories of resolving crippling insomnia and anxiety by changing light exposure, practical guidance on blue‑blocking glasses and healthier bulbs, and surprising insights into how night‑time light and phone use affect babies, breastfeeding, and kids' sleep. The conversation closes with actionable strategies you can start today to build a more "circadian‑friendly" home that supports better metabolic and mental health for the whole family. Why chronic indoor living, LED lighting, and screen time at night disrupt melatonin, drive carb cravings, and increase risk for obesity, diabetes, and mood disorders. How 10–20 minutes of outdoor morning light "sets" your circadian clock, optimizes key hormones, and lays the foundation for better sleep and metabolism.1 The real differences between clear, yellow, orange, and red blue‑blocking lenses—and how to use each to protect your eyes and hormones without feeling crazy or deprived. How nighttime light and phone exposure change the melatonin content of breast milk, impact infant sleep, and why true darkness (with smart night‑lights) matters for kids and adults. Simple, practical home fixes—warmer bulbs, Wi‑Fi hygiene, grounding, and "light curfews"—that make your environment more healing and help your body do what it's designed to do.

Monterey, VA. www.eventbright.com Are you constantly "caught hungry" at 5:30 pm and end up in a drive‑thru because nothing healthy is ready at home? Do you feel stuck in a cycle of ultra‑processed convenience foods, blood sugar swings, and weight gain—even though you know better? Does planning, shopping, and cooking feel so overwhelming that you default to carbs and fast food, even while trying to reverse diabetes or lose weight? In this short episode, Teresa and I show you how 30 focused minutes once a week can turn meal prep into a powerful "medical intervention" that keeps you out of drive‑thrus, off meds, and out of the doctor's office. You'll hear exactly how we stock our kitchen (from a side of beef to eggs, Greek yogurt, and "egg‑life" wraps) so there is always a fast, low‑carb, high‑protein meal ready—even on the craziest days. We walk you through a simple way to pick one stressful meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner), strip out the glucose‑spiking carbs, and still enjoy favorites like lasagna, Mexican bowls, and even "pasta" without falling off your health plan. 1. Why "Getting Caught Hungry" Derails Your Health When you're tired, stressed, and hungry with nothing ready, your brain will default to the easiest option—usually fast food, vending machines, or drive‑thrus. Ultra‑processed convenience foods are engineered with sugar, seed oils, and additives to keep you over‑eating, inflamed, and metabolically sick. These choices are directly linked to weight gain, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome, and they keep you stuck in the medication–doctor–hospital loop. 2. Meal Prep as a Medical Intervention Planning and prepping real food in advance functions like a powerful medical intervention: it removes the crisis moments where you "have no choice" but junk. Cooking and eating at home dramatically improves food quality, supports weight loss, and can help prevent—or even reverse—type 2 diabetes when done correctly. A consistent weekly routine (same day, same time) for planning and prep reduces decision fatigue and makes healthy choices automatic instead of heroic. 3. Simple, Sustainable Meal Prep Strategies Choose one prep window each week (for example, Sunday morning) to plan your meals, shop once, and get key foods cooked, portioned, and stored. Batch‑cook versatile proteins (ground beef, hamburger patties, meatballs, roasts, grilled meats, eggs) and store them in easy‑grab containers or freezer portions. Focus on "always‑on‑hand" staples—meat, eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese, avocados, quality protein powder, low‑carb wraps, soups and stews—so there is always a fast meal at home. You can keep almost all your favorite dishes (lasagna, Mexican bowls, casseroles, burgers) by simply removing the starch (noodles, rice, tortillas, bread) and going heavier on protein and healthy fats. By keeping glucose‑spiking carbohydrates out of your mouth, you train your body to burn fat for fuel, reduce hunger, and naturally move toward eating just one or two satisfying meals per day. Start with the one meal that stresses you out the most (rushed breakfast, chaotic lunch, or late‑night dinner) and redesign it in a low‑carb, prepped‑in‑advance way; once that's easy, expand to the others.

Use CODE shughlett10 for a discount. Secrets in Healthcare Momentum in the Mountains. Monterey, VA. www.eventbright.com In this episode, Dr. Steve and guest Kerry Mann unpack how a "proper human diet" can reverse what most people are told are lifelong conditions. You'll hear how Kerry went from debilitating depression, IBS, surgeries, CPAP dependence, and even congestive heart failure to vibrant health by changing his food instead of adding more medications. They also share powerful real‑life stories, including a 700‑pound Alaskan who reclaimed his life, and discuss why our pill‑first medical model keeps so many people sick. If you've ever wondered whether food can truly act as medicine for type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and mental health, this conversation will challenge everything you've been taught. How years of IBS, reflux, joint pain, depression, weight gain, and a TIA led to a diagnosis of congestive heart failure in Kerry's 30s. Why multiple medications (for depression, anxiety, sleep, blood pressure, reflux, and cholesterol) never fixed the root cause—and often made things worse. The turning point: discovering keto, then a strict carnivore‑style "proper human diet," and the rapid changes in snoring, sleep, pain, mood, and energy. Real‑world reversals, including a 700‑pound man losing 260 pounds in a year and escaping years of bed‑bound depression through diet alone. A frank discussion of carb addiction, why community matters, and how focusing on real, unprocessed foods can normalize labs, reduce meds, and restore hope.

Secrets in Healthcare Momentum in the Mountains. Monterey, VA. www.eventbright.com drstevehughlett.com Do you feel like every year you're on more medications and getting less healthy? In this episode, Dr. Steve Hughlett shares how changing what's on your plate can reverse type 2 diabetes, help you come off multiple medications, and reclaim your energy—often in as little as 30 days under your physician's guidance. Drawing on 35 years as a Doctor of Pharmacy and his own transformation, Dr. Steve explains why most of our chronic diseases are driven by high insulin, chronic inflammation, and high blood sugar—and why nutrition is the most powerful lever you can pull to fix them. He also walks through the simple, sustainable programs he and his wife Theresa have created to help you move away from ultra-processed foods toward real, whole, mostly low-carb and animal-based nutrition. You'll hear why he left the hospital after nearly three decades, what he discovered about the true risks of long-term medications, and how clients are getting off drugs for diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, pain, and more by changing their diet. Dr. Steve also shares the resources they've built—his book "Your Plate Is Your Fate," the Nutrition Prescription: Wellness vs Medications podcast, their weekly newsletter, digital courses, live Thrive Tribe community, and one-on-one support—to meet you wherever you are on your health journey. If you've been told you'll be on diabetes meds for life, or you feel stuck in the medical system, this conversation will show you a different path: fix your food, and your health can change far faster than you've been led to believe. Why your health is always moving toward either more medications or more wellness—and how to know which path you're on by looking at the last 5 years. How changing your nutrition can reverse type 2 diabetes and, with your doctor's help, get you off diabetic medications within about 30 days. The "three pillars of disease" (high insulin, inflammation, high blood sugar) and how real, whole, mostly low-carb, animal-based foods correct them. Why Dr. Steve left hospital pharmacy after 29 years once he realized the system focuses on treating symptoms instead of fixing root causes with nutrition. Overview of their support options: book, podcast, free weekly newsletter, self-study courses, elite coaching with Voxer access, Thrive Tribe community, and one-on-one calls.

| 5/25/26 | 184: Weight Loss and the Book Complete Carnivore with Jenny Mitich | Hey Podcast Friends! If you are needing help getting off diabetes medications and/or losing weight. We are here to help! Click the link below to get on a FREE 30 min CHAT to see if we have anything that can help! Free 30-Min. Wellness Solutions Chat In this episode, we sit down with author and carnivore educator Jenny Mitich, who used a carnivore diet to lose over 50 pounds, reverse severe anxiety and depression, and rebuild her metabolic health. She shares how her husband first lost 130 pounds with keto and water fasting, how pregnancy weight gain and "doing it the traditional way" left her stuck, and what finally convinced her to try carnivore for "just one month." Jenny explains the powerful changes she saw in her continuous glucose monitor when she switched from a "healthy" high-carb diet to a meat-based way of eating, dropping her average glucose from the low 100s to the low 80s in only a month. She also opens up about anxiety disappearing, better sleep, less inflammation, and why she believes the real goal isn't being "perfectly carnivore," but being healthy, energized, and metabolically sound. We dig into her new book Complete Carnivore, which she calls an "encyclopedia" for the carnivore diet—part in‑depth guide, part 80‑recipe cookbook designed to bridge the gap between the standard American diet and a meat-based lifestyle. Jenny walks us through troubleshooting common carnivore problems, how to track progress with labs, Dexa scans, and CGMs, and why everyone should "know their numbers" like fasting insulin, triglycerides, HDL, and A1C instead of just chasing weight loss. You'll also hear practical tips on: Using water fasting and sardine fasting safely for major weight loss and loose skin concerns. Making carnivore recipes the whole family will eat, like chicken‑based "mac and cheese," chicken crust pizza, and even fully carnivore ice cream sandwiches. Raising animal‑based kids without being extreme—using meat, fruit, full-fat dairy, and a few gluten‑free treats while keeping processed foods low. If you're an overwhelmed man or woman who's tired of low-energy, high-carb living and confusing diet advice, this conversation gives you a clear, low‑carb, whole‑food path forward without hours in the gym or restrictive rules you can't keep. Jenny used a carnivore diet to lose over 50 pounds, improve her blood sugar (average glucose dropping from the low 100s to the low 80s), and completely resolve long‑standing anxiety and depression after years of struggle. Her husband lost about 130 pounds using keto and extended water fasts, and then combined carnivore and fasting to continue improving body composition and even reduce loose skin through autophagy. Jenny's book, Complete Carnivore, is designed as both an in‑depth "how‑to" guide and an 80‑recipe cookbook, with big focus on troubleshooting problems and tracking real data like fasting insulin, triglycerides, HDL, A1C, and visceral fat. She teaches that healthy eating lives on a spectrum—from full carnivore to low‑carb and ketovore—and that the real target is whole, real foods and metabolic health, not perfection or dogma. Practical tools like sardine fasting, high‑protein carnivore recipes that mimic comfort foods, and family‑friendly animal‑based meals help people transition from the standard American diet without feeling deprived or separate from their families.
